Honest socialism may be heralded

1t looks toward an amelioration Of

There is no better index to a tow

the old home paper cannot we'll be

is no more desirable, no more en-

''Do you know how Sears, Roebucl
& Company started in business9'
asked Mr.. Zandition Of the News
editor recently.
81 worked for them nine years
ago. 1 knew Sears when he was
a station agent in Wisconsin, and
Roebuck when he was watch ped
der. One time Roebuck wanted to
60 to Milwaukee and didn't have
the money; so he left watch as Sc
curity with Sears for his fare, tell
ing him that if he should be able to
sell the watch for more than six dol
lars, he might keep half he made.
Sears sold the watch for twelve dol
lars. Then he wrote to Roebuck in
Milwaukee and got him to send a
dozen watches to Bill Jones, Sam
Smith and lot of fictitious names.
These watches were billed out at
twenty-five dollars and ten dollars
paid on them, apparently. Sears
unloaded them on his friends easily
at fifteen dollars each, which cost
him and Roebuck three dollars and
a half.
But the railroad company got
onto the game and fired Sears, and
the two Of them opened an Office in
Milwaukee. They bought a thou
sand watches and shipped them to
every express Office in Kansas, Mis-
souri, and Illinois. These watches
cost three dollars but they sold as
twenty-five dollar watches and mark
ed ten dollars paid and to fictitious |
names. When the agent reported |
such matters back as undelivered,
then this pair would write back that
some mistake must surely be made
but as a payment Of ten dollars had
been made on this watch they
would allow the agent a commission
Of two dollars to secure the other
fifteen dollars.
Well, the watch scheme worked
ine and the pair cleaned up ten thou
'and dollars clear. Then they
bought a lot of parlor sets for chill
iren and advertised them, giving
he impression that you would re-
:eive full set Of furniture for FIVE
lollars; and the people bit all over
he country.

s. C. Mccoy is the name of the man
who was found dead near the river
lust above the reservation line yester-
day afternoon. He was a carpenter,
and had been around town most of the
winter, working here, at Hermiston
and for Peter West. He committed
suicide by taking carbolic acid, and
from evidence given the coroner's
jury, it is probable the deed was
prompted by family troubles and
drinking.
The body of Mccoy was found by
Chris Christopher, who was building
fence on land which he rents from
Tots-hami The body was lying on
the left side as II in repose, and the
dead mans coat and vest hung on a
bush near by. The bottle of carbolic
acid Indicated the manner Of death.
There was nothing on the body to
identify the remains and for a time
it looked as though the identity would
be a mystery. However, Charles In
gle saw the body about $50 last even
ing and at once recognized 1t as that
of his fellow workman and ROOM
mate. According to Ingle he first
met Mccoy at Freewater, where they
both worked. However, he does not
know where Mccoy came from. While
here the two men roomed at Mrs.
Geiser's and Ingle says the deceased
left about three weesk ago, saying he
was going to Hermiston.
The carbolic acid found was from
the Pendleton Drug company, and A.
]. McAllister testified that the only
registered sale of that article this
month was one to Henry Miller, on
April 4.
Another witness was Sing Lee, a
Chinese laundryman, with whom Nc
Coy left some laundry on April 10.
The laundry tag was found on the
body. 'r.
After listening to all the evidence
the coroner's jury decided that death
was caused by the deceased's own
hand. and returned a verdict accord
ingly. The jury was composed of
Louis Anderson, ]. T. Brown, Winn
Brown, Gus Schmidt, James McCool
and E. B. Aldrich.

WAR STORY CANARD
REPORT THAT SIX MEN
WE'RE KILLED ON M'KAY,
Believed That Fake Originated With
Disappointed Soldiers Who Loaded
Up Louie Gagnon, Half-Breed-
Major Edwards Knows Nothing Of
Any Rumpus, Nor Does He Know
of Any Provocation That Could Lead
to IIostilities.

That war had broken out on the
reservation was reported this morning
and according to the CORY details six
fight with two drunken buckaroos.
However, 1t has since developed that
the whole story was a canard, doubt
less started by the troopers who have
despaired of finding any really bellig-
erent cattlemen, or Indians.
The first report of the affair reach
ed here about 10 o'clock this morn
ing. 1t was from the telephone oper-
ator at Adams, and was to the effect
that soldier had ridden into that
town this morning with the news of
the fight. According to the report he
gave a fight had occurred on Mckay
creek between two drunken cowboys
of the soldiers and Indians were kill
ed.
Immediately after the receipt of the
wild story an effort was made to learn
the truth of the same by use Of the
rura! phone. The agency was called
and Miss Edwards declared no news
OF the affair had been received there.
The Mckay creek postoffice and sew
eral other places in that neighborhood
were communicated with, but none
had received news of any trouble.
| Owing to trouble with the Pacific
States line between here and Adams
that place could not be secured until
this afternoon.
At 1880 DR.. Todd, of Adams, stated
over the phone that the story had
been brought to Adams by Louis Gag
non, n half-breed. According to Gag
non, he had been told the story by
soldiers and believed the same. How
ever, the people OF Adams regard the
matter as a hoax and believe it was
told Gagnon to frighten him.
"AH Quiet on the Potomac"
Major o. c. Edwards, agent at the
reservation, was In the city this fore
noon and first heard the wild story
while on the streets. He regarded
! the same as a fake and said as far as
he had heard no trouble of any kind
had yet occurred between the soldiers
and stockmen. He did not even know
of any attempts being made by stock
men to cross since the arrival of the
patrol. The Mckay creek squad Il
stationed within a few miles of the
Mckay postoffice, while the other IL
encamped at the Cayuse bridge.
Major Edwards says a report reach
ed the agency last evening that two
more troops of cavalry had arrived or
the reservation. However, he says III
knows nothing further of them. and i
they are also for patrol duty he doe
not know 1t.
! That new troopers have reached tn
reservation is evident from the fac
that a force of 40 or 50 bluecoats wer
seen heading towards the reservation
by passengers on the Walla Walli
train yesterday morning,

SEATTLE SENDS SUPPLIES.
Vessel Bearing 100 Tons OF Food
Leaves for Frisco.

Eleven hundred tons of supplies of
all sorts were loaded into the Buck
man last night and at an early hour
this morning the vessel pulled out
from pier B with the first supplies
from Seattle that have been dis
patched by water. says the Seattle
News. With her was w. NJ. Sheffield,
who will turn over the shipment to
the Seattle relief committee, that Is
already on the ground. He will re-
main there and assist in the distribu-
ton Of the contributions.
Also on the Buckman were Captain
Harvey Moss, quartermaster second
infantry who represents the state and
who will deliver to the military au-
thorities of San Francisco the govern
ment supplies that this state has
added to the shipment. To assist
Captain Moss was Lieutenant Calvin
WELDON, battalion adjutant second in
fantry.
The shipment that goes on the
Buckman pretty we'll cleaned up the
contributions that accumulated at pier
B yesterday. An immense amount of
stuff is expected today and 1t will be
speedily repacked to go forward on
the Queen, leaving tomorrow. The
Burnside will shortly be here and she
will be able to take 5000 tons some
time early in the week. By that time
the carloads of provisions from Other
parts Of the state will be coming ir
and no difficulty will be experienced

In finding cargoes for all the ships
that are available.
From Spokane this week will come
rs carloads Of flour. The Chamber
Of Commerce committee of that city
wired yesterday that the cars would
be forwarded during the week and
that It had been deemed advisable to
reload the flour on ships at Seattle
instead of forwarding 1t by rail.
Waterville, Snohomish and Anacor-
tes are other state points from which
carloads of contributions will come
early In the week. In fact, this week
promises to see Seattle the focus for
relief shipments of not only almost
every point in the state, but of many
cities throughout the nation.
