A PHOENIX GIRL
 MARRIED IN FRISCO
NuptiaIS of Miss Frances Bury and
 Eugene SIiKer.

News has been received here of the marriage of Eugene Sliker of Flag staff and Miss Frances Bury of PhOe- nix, on Tuesday evening. October ?, at 8 o'clock. The wedding took place in San Francisco at the home of MT. and Mrs. Charles F. Priest of Buena Vista avenue, they being the uncle and aunt of the bride, and it will be of interest to many to know that the ceremony was performed by Rev. Lapsley A. Me Afee, formerly pastor of the Presby- terian church in this city.
 After the ceremony a sumptuous wedding supper was served and later the newly married couple left for a tour of southern California. At its conclusion they will go to Flagstaff, where MT. Sliker is in business and which will be their home for the pres ent.
 The bride is a Phoenix girl, and one of the most popular and accomplished young wofnen who ever lived here. She grew to womanhoOd in this valley and early in life began educational work having taught in the grammar schools and both the NormaIs of the territory being assigned to the northern Arizona Normal when it was first started, and

For Delegate to Congress Wm. F. Cooper
SENATOR PALLETS PREDICA-
 MENT.

Senator Bailey will doubtless find obstacles which he cannot overcome in his way back to the United States sen ate. The Texas antipathy to trusts and corporations, good and bad, amounts to- a mania, and Senator Bailey has been pretty plainly identi- fled even with the bad ones. 'perhapS the very worst ones, the Kirby Lumber company. and a branch of the Standard oil company the last vestige of which the Texans thought they had flung out of the Lone Star state.
 The defense. or rather the varied de- lenses of Senator Bailey. cannot mend his case much in the eyes of his fellow . citizens.
 His first statement, that he had been led to believe that the Waters Pierce oil company had severed its relations with the Standard when he procured its reinstatement in Texas. is not strengthened in any way by his state ment on Saturday night that the Waters Pierce company was readmit- ted in his absence. It could only be inferred that he meant by that to con yey that he disclaimed any part in the restoration of the Waters-Pierce com pany. It must be inferred from his former statement that he had aided, as has been charged, in such restora- tion but that he did so under a mis- apprehension.
 As to Senator Baileys contention that seat in the United States senate does not deprive the occupant of q right to practice law if he is otherwise qualified will be generally admitted, hut it must be conceded that he is hedged about with certain limitations which are not drawn about other law yers. Senator Burton broke over those limitations and found himself in the penitentiary.
 The restrictions, however, the vio- ; lation of which is charged against Sen . ator Bailey are merely moral or ethi- cal. He is in no danger of the peni- tentiary and it appears. that he is al- most equally without prospect of being condemned to another six years in the senate.
 The Texans might easily forgive him for being an attorney for corporation They might even forgive him for aid ing the Standard oil company in violation of the federal laws or the laws of a sister state. But they can hardly forgive him for conniving with the Standard against the laws of Texas

ADJUSTMENTS

A most pleasing feature of the per formanccs of the Reed-UnderWood Stock company is the utter absence of waits between the acts. When the curtain rises on the first act it never drops until the conclusion of the last act, but instead a large vaudeville drop is used and the speciality people work before the drop while the stage IS being set behind it. So there abso- lutely are no waits MT Underwood is a clever and experienced stage di- rector and he insists on a continuous performances and the audience fullS appreciates it. The play to be given next Thursday evening will be Cap tain Swift" a play abounding in strong situations and one specially adapted to the ability of the company.

His meetings every where have evoked more republican enthusiasm than it had been thought could be stirred up. It has taken the form of confidence that he will win. He is indulging in no sentiment He has not uttered a word for the mere pur- pose of catching a vote. He is only showing and conclusively. why it will be better to send him to congress than to return Delegate Smith.

Senator Beveridge a few days aga predicted that, once the American flag was raised over Cuba, it would float there interruptedly forever. Ameri- cans generally will hope that the Indi- ana senator is mistaken. They will be somewhat buoyed up, too. by the senator's record as a predicter. It will be remembered that he could fore see nothing but the annihilation of Japan by Russia and he had come al- most directly from the scene of the later hostilities. The senator was also cocksure of the passage of the Ham ilton statehood bill in its first, objec- tionable form. and when that failed he had reliable advance information that Arizona was going to vote itself over whelmingly into joint statehood.

A LOWEST CONSTRUCTION.


 T'.e iointists of this territory and New Mexico are interpreting the presi- dents letter to Governor Kfbbey with reference to the charges of attempted election frauds in this territory as a rebuke to the governor There is no doubt that the makers of the charges intended to injure the governor there by but how the letter from the presi- dent can be construed to be a rebuke only man with the perverted reason Ing processes of a jointist can con- ceive.
 The letter was friendlier in tone and less formal than the usual official commun ication and the presiednt moreover expressed an opinion that the fabricators of the charges which had called his letter out were liars. He did not believe that there was a pur- pose to miscount the vote cast at the statehood election but advised, in view of the charges, that the jointists should be given representation in the machin- cry of the election.
 Similar advice was at the same time given Governor Hagerman, of New Mexico, who from the jointist point of view stands in no needsof rebuke.
 The more such charges are lodged with the president the truer will be his measure of the men who are en- deavoring to bring jointure about These same methods also farther re- move from possibility a revival of the joint statehood project

One Of the important addresses de-
livered at the Washington State Hor-
ticultural association now in session
at North Yakima was that made by
w. H. Paulhamus of Seattle.
In the course of his remarks he said
that the reason for the high price of
butter and eggs is the combine of
the millers of the state of Washing
ton for holding up prices.
He said that by this combine the
price of feed is 100 per cent higher
than 1t ought to be. He said that he
was interested in a movement to take
the matter UP and make 1t warm for
the millers all over the state. He did
not say what he would do, but init
mated that feed products would be
brought from the central west to beat
the combine.
He said that butter could now be
shipped from Iowa to the sound and
be sold cheaper than it can be made
in Washington. The sentiment among
his hearers on this subject was almost
unanimous and 1t is probable the
Yakima fruitgrowers will lend him
their support.

GOVERNMENT TESTS OATS.
Numerous Contracts Are Given for
Supplies.

The samples of oats recently called
for by the quartermaster general from
contractors who propose to furnish
forage according to bids opened De-
cember is, were taken to the agricul-
tural department today by Colonel
Aleshire, OF the quartermaster's de-
partment, with the request that they
be subjected to an expert examina-
ton to determine their quality, says
a report from Washington, d. C.
The samples were provided by bid
ders in Seattle, San Francisco and st.
Paul, and were called for by the
quartermaster general because the st.
Paul bidders declared that their "B"
oats were as good as the "a" grade
offered by the Puget Sound bidders.
The award of contract will depend
largely on the report of the agricul-
tural department.
The contract for $500 tons of hay
intended for shipment to the Philip
pines has been awarded to w. w.
Robinson of Seattle. One-half of this
quantity is to be eastern Washington
hay at 81 cents and one-half western
Washington hay at rs cents.

HuT,Row COUNTY HAPPENINGS.
County Has Balance From the

w. NJ. Hendrix, who was in The city
yesterday, informed the Times that he
had Just completed his new residence
on the ranch a few miles west of

George Vincent, who was in from
Butter creek Saturday, reports having
Just sold four carloads of his beef cat

$3.50 per hundred pounds with a

1886 pounds at time OF sale, and when
weighed into the lots two months age

Friends and supporters of Judge
Ellis in this district, had hoped that
the congressional situation would not
be complicated further by the intro
duction of any more candidates, but
in this It seems they are doomed to
disappointment.
1t Is stated on the best OF authority
that T.. l.. Smith, of Hood River, a
representative of the Moody faction
of the republican party in oregon pol
tiles, will become a candidate for the
congressional nomination In this dis
trict, thus making II at least three
cornered fight, with perhaps both
Judge Ellis and Mr.. Smith at disad-
vantage because OF them representing
the two pronounced factions of the
party.
In case Mr.. Smith announces his
candidacy. which seems now quite
probable, W. ]. Lachner of Baker
City, who is not allied professedly with
either faction. and who is young, able
free from factional entanglements
and popular all over the district, will
stand an excellent chance OF securing
the republican nomination, 1t is al
legged by those in touch with the sit
uation.
The East Oregonian is not giving ar
opinion on the subject. but is simply
recording public sentiment as 1t finds
IL.
Judge Ellis has large number oi
friends in the district and is very pop
ular with all classes. Mr.. Smith h
also extremely popular and in his ca
pacity as a public-spirfted citizen, ha'
been identified with all the best move
ments in the state.
Both of these gentlemen have the
advantage of Mr.. Lachner in point o.
experience and wide acquaintance, bu
because OF the factional differences
represented by them, It is conceded
that they will both be subjected tC
sharp political practices and a young
er man, not Objectionable TO eithe1
faction will stand an excellent chance
of securing the coveted plum.

Chicago, Jan. 13.-With the finding
this morning Of the body Of Mrs.
Bessie Hollister. a choir singer, prom
inent in society, and wife of Franklin
Hollister, of the printing house of
Hollister Brothers, in a vacant lot in
the rear of carpenter shop on Bel
den avenue, the police are confronted
with another murder mystery.
A copper wire of the size used for
telephones, encircled Mrs. HOLSTERS
neck. She had either been strangled
to death, or the strand was used in
dragging the body.
Mrs. Hollister left home at $3.50 yes
terday morning to sing at the funeral
Of a friend. She signified her inten-
tion of doing her shopping first and
had plenty of money. The last trace
of her was at florists, where she
bought flowers for her friends cas-
ket. 1t was probably not suicide, and
the police advance the theory of MUIR
der for the purpose of robbery.
Richard WINS confessed.
The police say that Richard Wins,
who reported finding the body of Mrs.
Hollister in the lot back of his faith
er's shop, confessed that he seized the
woman as she passed the shop at GAS
last night, dragged her in and raw
ished her. Her outcries became so
loud he strangled her.

Weston Ore, Jan. 13.-(Special to
the East Oregonian. AT 1890 last
night the home of Mrs William Blair
was totally destroyed by fire, with all
of its contents. The fire started in
the dining room from an unknown
cause, and the members of the family
barely had time to escape. All of
the household goods and clothing
was lost. and thus a great hardship
worked upon Mrs. Blair and daugh-
ters.
The house was a large one, and
valued at about $25O0. However, it
was uninsured. A subscription has
been circulated here today for the
benefit of the family, and quite a
sum has already been raised.
