Sands W. Forman, a journalist of that | city, wrote the words and Noah Brandt, a band leader of repute there, composed the barn when he leard the jingla of money in the saloon. As he knew the place was about to be closed up for the night, and that no one was supposed to be in the bar- room, he rushed in just in time to see a man disappear through a side door lead- ing into the yard.

OREGON CAYUSES IN DEMAND. | Not for Services Afiaid or on the Turf, but for Food for tte Poor of Paris, PORTLAND, Or, July 12.—The Port- land horse-packing company, whose plant is located at L ton, employing eighteen men, is now doing a thriving business. The company some months ago received an order for 5000 barrels of cured horse meat from dealers in Paris, France, and the contract is now being filled. The plant, which has been idle since last fall, was started up again about four weeks ago and since that time 800 horses have been slaughtered. Fifty were killed yesterday. Kacl: barrel is labeied “*horse meat’’ and is thorousbly inspected by mn inspector sent here from Paris. The Paris purchasers | before making this contract had the plant | thoroughly examined and satistied them- selves that the products would be up to the required standsrd. Parisians were the first people to adont horse meat as an article of food and the demand for it in the French capital is constantly increasing. | The horses for the Linnton plant are | ths. ; procured from Eastern Oregon and are| Miss Annie A.

The horse-packing company expects to build up & large business with Paris deal- ers and hopes also to find a market in Japan and China. Every part of the borse is utilized in some way. The choice meat is cured and all other parts, including hair, hide, bones, and even blood, are used for commercial purposes, —_ BRYAN AT PORTLAND. Opens a Chautaugua Assemby With a Licture on His Favorite Theme. PORTLAND, Or., July 12.—W. J. Bryan spoke this afternoon to an immense con- course at Gladstone Park,where the Chau- tauqua Assembly ovened to-day. It was called a ‘“Lecture on Bimetallism,” for the reason that the Chautauqua Assembly does notaliow political speeches to be made a partof itseducational course. Mr. Bryan proved a stellar attraction for | the opening of the assembly. He was given a cordial reception-and was listened to by an immense crowd, largely made up of Portland and Oregon City people. To-night the apostle of free silver ad- dres-ed a crowd of 10,000 persons on the Muitromah field in this city. Mayor Pennoyer had the honor cf introducing Mr. Bryan, and that he did itin a most graceful manner goes without saying. Immediately after the meeting Mr. Bryan left for Pendleton, and on reaching that city he will board a special train to Walla Walia, where he will speak at 10 o'clock to-morrow morning. Returning to Pendleton, he will speak at 2 o'clock and then leave on a special train for La Grande, where he will speak on Wednesday morning. He will talk at no other place in the State. it 84N RAFAEL KOBBERX. West End Saloon Man Has a Chase | After His Money.

CALLING O THE UNITED STATES Foreign Crops Fail and Wheat Is in Great Demand. Opportunity of the American Farmer Seems to Have Come at Last Interesting Report of European Conditlons Issued by Thls Government. NEW YORK, N. Y., July 12.—The Gov- ernment crop report published yesterday is of mcre than ordinary interest, because the crop reports of foreign countries indi- cate that the United States will be called on for more than her usual share in sup- plying the with grain and grain products. Russian official reports make the wheat crop of that country the poorest in years, and estimates of the French crop bave been materially reduced. Crops will be below the average also in Great Britain and Austria-Hungary. The visible sup- ply of Great Britain is so low that appre- bension exists there lest the home crop shail not ve available in time to meet im- mediate requirements, The estimated weekly European re- quirements of wheat, according to Beer- bohm, commencing this season, are 6,920, 000 bushels. Taking the Government crop report as a basis J. C. Brown, statis- tician of the New York Produce Ex- change, e<timates the winter wheat crop of this country at 269,525 azainst an actual yield last year of 2 9,000 bnshels, and the spring wheat crop at 172,645,000 pushels, against 163,345,247 bushels last year, making the esiimated total crop 434,776,000 busbels this vear, against an actual yield of 427,684,346 last ear. 2 There was a marked increase last week in the engagements of wheat and flour for export. Tney were principally for Au- gustshipment to the Continent and spring % | wheat for Jnly ana August shipmeat to the United Kingdom. Lim e G DROUGHT-STEICKEN AUSTRALIA, millions of Sheep Dying Will Raise the Price of Wool. WASHINGTON, D. C.,, July 12—Consul Bell, at Sydney, New Soutn Wales, re- ports to the State Department that the long drought in Australia will probably be mucu worse on sheep than that of 1895, when more than 9,000,000 were lost through thatceuse aione. Some estimates predict the loss of half the sheep, and i mates place the loss at of rain has destroyed vegetation on tie ranges, and sheep are being slaughterrd in vast numbers to save their pelts. All this season’s lambs are dead in most of the districts. It is declared that one-fifth of the finest wool sheep on the entire globe have perished, and it appears to be an American oppor- tunity now to raise sheep at home, as prices 1n the foreign wool markets are likely to advance.

An Erglistman Who Has Eeen “Roughing 1" in Washington Acquires Great R ches. SEATTLE, Wasm, July 12—James J. Steytler, a typical Englishman in appear- ance, came over from Colby, Kitsap County, yesterday, on what proves to be an important journey—perhaps the most interesting in his life, Steytler’s father, who was a wealthy banker in Cape Town, South Africa, recently died in London. Of the three sons in the family the one who is here to-day is the oldest, and the settlement of the estate wiil mean for him the major part of a fortune of something less than half a million dollars. Steytler is now on his way to London and possibly to Cape Town to look after his father’s estate, The lile of the younger Steytler has been & varied one. He was born in Cape Town forty years ago. He lived 1n that | country until he grew to manbood, and the Duke of Africa to hunt elephants, That was in 1867-68. The Duke was the guest of Steytler's father, because of their being personal friends and the latter having about the most pre- tentious dwelling in the city. Young Steytler accompanied the Duke and his father on the elephant hunts. In talking of these events this morning at the Hotel Northern Steytier said there was nothing in tnis country to compare with elephant hunting. The only thing in any manner approaching it was elk hunting in the Olympic Mountains, Steytier has done considerable of that, having followed the elk over in the hills toward the Grays Harbor country and slain several lordly bucks. After coming to America he went into the field of newspaper work and for a long time was on the staff of the Pitts- burg Dispatch and of the New York Herald. He was a member of the New Yorg Press Club. He returned from a visit to Cape Town only a few months ago. He did much in the way of news. paper correspondence while there. “Cape Colony is the emigration center,” d Steytler this morning, **but really the colony is getting tired of that class of immigrants who go there with no capital and have to be sent away at public ex- pense.

MILL VALLEY, Cavn, July 12.—The | contested eiection case instituted by M. M. O'Shaughnessy to oust J. H. McIuness | from the office of School Trustee was com- menced before Snperior Judge Angellott: at San Rafael to-day. The only sensa- tional feature was the allegation set forth by Mcloness that after the bailots were entrusted to the care of the clerk of the board they were tampered with, counted and in other ways misused. The case will be heard and tried next Tuesday. Thirty subpenas were issued to the plaintiffs to- day, and they intend to have all those who voten for Alonzo Coffin testify that they did so. They claim that this will show and prove that Coffin was elected in place of Mclnnis. HOTELS FULL OF LIVE REPUBLICANS Convention of National League Clubs at Detroit. Indications of the Greatest Mesting in Its Entire History. Spirited Contest Among Prominent Candldates for the Office of President. DETROIT, Mich., July 12.—There is every indication to-night that the Na- tional League of Republican Clubs will hold the most successful convention to- morrow of its ten years’ existence. The hotels are filling up rapidly. President there is a spirited contest among the can- didates. It is reported that Theodore Roosevelt is willing to take the job of president. He will arrive in the morning. Marcus Pollasky of Chicago and L. J. Crawford of Newport, Ky., are also can- didates. They have opened headquarters. Chicago, Omaha, Pittsburg, Kansas City and Baltimore will be the principal bid- ders for the convention next year, Chi- cago wants Ora E. Chapin for secretary.

He has been the Republican candidate for Attorney-General of Kentucky and is one of the leading lawyers of the State. About twenty-five Kentuckians are here now and many more are expected to help boom Mr. Crawford’s candidacy. Ths candidacy of Marcus Pollasky 1s esp-cially popular in Detroit and Miohi- gan on account of his long residence in the State. His friends are claiming for | him tke solid Michigan delegation. The first session wiil be held at 10 o’clock to-morrow morning. HIGHLAND GRANGE LECTURES. Professor Jaffa of the Siate Universily Addresses the Farmers on “Rational Feeding."” WRIGHTS, Cav., July 12 —Professor M. E. Jaffaof tbe State University lec- the subject of the rational feeding of farm animals. Mr. Jaffa said that a rational system of feeding had been devised whereby dairymen and other feeders of less money than under the old method. The aim was to avoid waste and at the same ume give sufficient tissue-building and warmth-supplying food. Standards of feeding were arrived at after scientific analyses of the composition of the animal body and of the varions products, as well as of the proportion aetually as imilated by the body in the case of different foods, and after careful experiment with a large number of farm animals which had been proved to give thie best results. Diagrams were exhibited by the pro- fessor showing the results of these various analyses and experiments. It was found that the elements contained in the an- imal body and in foods, though the pro- portions in which these elements are con- tained in the different foods greatly varied, were water, nitrogenous or tissue- building elements, ron-nitrogenous ele- ments—such as starch, fat and sugar, which merely supplied warmth to the body—and ash or minerals, of which the most important was phosphorus. All these materials must be furnished in proper proportions, differing in the case of different animals, and according to the nature of the work which they were re- quired to do. The digestive organs of dilferent an- imals were different, he said. The ruminants, like the cow, in which the which cnewed their cud, could assimilate coarser food than the horse, dog or pig. Starchy foods were digested principally in the intestines. The relative value of dit- ferent foods was illustrated by charts and disgrams. 10WNSEND LINE. Connecting Railway to Tap Lumber Districts. TACOMA, WasH., July 12.—Contractor Frank C. Ross announces that he has in- terested Chicago capitalists in the buila- ing of a railroad between Gig Harbor, op- osite Tacoma, and Port Townsend. The ort Townsend Board of Trade has taken the matter up and promises to aid in pro- curing the subsidies asked for, consi-ting of a right of way and 160 acres of land in each section for two miles on each side of the railroad. Port Townsend has been irying for years to get the comnection with a trans- continental line which thisroad will fur- nish. 1t will also touch the Puget Sound naval station at Port Orchard and con- nect the sawmills at Port Ludlow, Port Gamble and Port Hadlock, having an ageregate daily capacity of 500,000 feet, with ~ the Northern Pacific Railroad, enabling them to ship East by rail. The railroad will be about 100 miles long. The preliminary survey has been made. ol e Victory for Santa Barbara.

Hls Fall Checked on the Brink of an Abyss of Unfathomable Depth. SEATTILE, Wasa., July 12.—P. J. Bald- win has had an experience that he will never forget, and about as narrow an escape as « prospctor ever had. He is one of the oldest prospectors in the Monte Cristo and Stillaguamish countries, and knows every trail there, yet all this knowl- edge did not keep him out of a crevasse possibly thousands of feet desp while crossing the range from Goat Lake to Monte Cristo early in the month. Here- after, in making the trip, Baldwin will come around by Barlow Pass, although the journey is six miles longer than by crossing a very high range of mountains north of Monte Cristo, which separates that camp from Goat Lake. Baldwin was making good time over this divide and was swinging along with a heavy stride over a field of snow tuat cer- tainly looked as safe as a paved street as far as surface indications went. Baldwin knew from the place he was in thathe was crossing one of the deepest gulches in that section of the country. Without an instant’s warning, without a crack or sound, the snow fell away on all sides of him and under him. He was falling—falling he knew not whither. With the passing of the light he lost | consciousness, so terrible were the sensa- tions he experienced. 1t was perhaps ten | or fifteen minutes later when he aroused, as if out of a terrible nightmare, but facing an intinitely worse reality in the | walls of ice, impenetrable darkness and | an unknown depth of thousands of feet below him. He was on a narrow shelf wmade by a horizontal crack in the ice, but how far into the crevasss he had failen he could not determine. No daayiicht showed above, and a lighted match fell an in- credible d stance before burning out, and still it had not reached bottom. Chunks of ice dropped over the shelf, rattled and | cracked for Lundreds of feet until finally | broken into such small pieces that in fall- | ing they made no voise. Baldwin thought he bad rtaked out his last claim, but he decided to at least | make a try for life. He argued that a fall | to the bottom with its immediate death wou!d be much better than a death by | slow starvation and freezing by inches on | the sheli. Taking off his boots, he started | up the side of the crevasse, the woolen socks he wore giving him & sure footing. | The crevasse was not quite three feet wide, and, by putting a foot on either | wall, he was makme excellent progress, \ and had reached a point where he could almost see the top when a projection on | which he was standing cracked off and | fell with a deafening noise to the bottom. | Again there was an awful falling, dyine | sensation, but for a second time the shelf stopped his fall, and again he had to look the sitnation in the face. The cold was becoming almost unbearable and tne darkness maddening. He knew that if he got out at all it must be at once, so he | commenced a second painfut trial. | "By using much more care he finally | managed to reach the topand crawled out on the snow utterly exhausted. It was a | long time before ‘he could continue his + journey, but, after waiting several hours, | he proceeded toward Monte Cristo, walk- | 1ng without his boots, which he left in the | crevasse—how many feet down he does | not know. He arrived at Monte Cristo | almost a wreck, so great had been the | strain on his nerves. Not even yet has he entirely recovered from the experience. Divorce Suits.

The San Rafael Must Come Into Court and Explain Matters. Mrs. Finlgan Asserts That Her Wealthy Husband Has Mis~ calculated Hls Assets. SAN RAFAEL, CaL., July 12.—Colonel Peter A. Finigan, the reputed millionaire who served six weeks in the Marin Connty jail for refusing to pay his wife alimony as ordered by Judge Angellotti, is not to enjoy freedom if Mrs. Emily B. Finigan has anything to say aboutit. To-day in an aflidavit presented to Judge Angellotti she accused her husband of fraud and various other crimes, among them per- jury in connection with his petition for insolvency which he filed and upon which he obtained his freedom under the princi- ple that a pauper could not be imprisoned for debt. The Finigan case has already attracted much attention, and since the colonel gained his freedom by pleading that he was a pauper ho has lived at the Hotel Millionaire Rafael h his daughters at expensé of $500 a month-—rather guoudly sum for a pauper, Mrs. Finigan thinks.
