TROUBLE AT JACKSON. Property of witness Against Jett Is Very Mysteriously Bowed. . v t 1 tt x - m. jacKsou, jvy., juiiq. io.THe old. conditions, which prevailed here before th troops came, again prevails ana it. t he defense fails to prove a complete alibi for Jett and White, the people of Jackson will be surprised. - . The town has. been quiet since last night. - Joe Crawford and Ed Thorpe, suspected of burning Jihe Ewen hotel, wera kept in the mili tary guard house without a chance for escape or communication with the Hargis factionists. That the grand jury will re lease the' men there's little doubt, because the witnesses, in view of the fate of Ewen, wont testify against them and the larking as sassin wields the power here. The City Hotel, a three-story building, owned by Capt. B. J. Ewen: the main witnpsa acrftinsf. Jett and White, now on trial for the assassination of Lawyer J. B Marcum, was burned to the ground early Sunday morn ins. Fifteen guests were in the hotel, but all escaped without injury. There was no insurance on tne struct ure, and the hotel with its furn ishings and ' the ., effects of the guests' is -a total loss. The cause of the fire is unknown, but the belief is general thai it was of in cendiary origin. Capt. Ewen had recently put up an addition to the iViftfftl hnfc this was nnoccuoied. It was in this part of the hotel that the fire was discovered. The town of Jackson has no fire de- partment and its citizens were awakened by, the ' firing ' of pistols I find euns and much . excitement prevailed. : - When court resumed this morn ing, Jett was first placed on the stand in his own behalf. :In tell ing the story of his whereabouts on the day Marcum. was assassin ated, he put on a bold front. He said he went into the court house by a side door to investigate after hearing a shot. The attorney for the defense said they would show thaifonly White had entered the court house prior to the killing oi Marcum ; that Jett was near the postoffice and went into the court house only after hearing the shots, his purpose being to ic vestigate the shooting. Credit System an Expensive Luxury. . Did you eyei think of how expen sive a luxury credit is? It doubles the- expense of bookkeeping doubles "correspondence, multi plies worry nany times over, of ten destroys confidence, wrecks busi ness galore, and makes mischief of all kinds without limit. More than all, many of these things . -enter into the cost of nearly every thing which is bought and sold, and even the cash buyer, with all lis discounts off, pays enhanced prices because of the cost of other -people's credit.' Imagine the -world running a month without the credit system 1 Next to the millennium it would do more to create and maintain general - happiness 'than any other condi tion that could be introduced.

The American people are be- ginning to realize what a burden they unwittingly put upon them selves and their children, and their children's children, when they shouted for a war with Spain five years ago. Spain was e: whipped, Cuba was made free, Porto Rico was taken as a satra- py, ana the way was opened, ror the costly purchase of the Philip pines. - But that was only the first cost, a light one. Now .we are setting the aftermath in the Spanish war pensions. Acsording to' the statement of the Pension Office, 57,646 inval ids' ' of that war have already - - made application for the charity of the nation, and 8,390 widows and dependents. Of these there have, been allowed 9,881 invalid pensions and 3,160 of the other class. Then 18,185 claims have been rejected, leaving 34,210 claims pending on May 1st. New applications are coming in' daily by the hundreds, and the indica tions are that at the end of the year nearly 50 per cent of the men enlisted will have applied for pen sions. Were we, then, in 1898, a nation of weaklings and degenerates? Did a short war of three months sc wreck the physical conditions of the sturdy youth t who enlisted under the flag, as to leave this multitude incapacitated for the ordinary duties of life? No one believes this. The pension list I . 14 ...... t .

Now that alight bank is to be established in the Waldorf -Astor ia hotel in New York city one wonders why nobody thought of it before. If there is any one thing that a man particularly ueeas it isria cilities for getting' money at any i - t - i j hour of the day or night. In this day of footpads and the banking habit the average man doesn't carry a great deal of money with him, and hence is apt to find him self suddenly in need of more money than he has about him, and unless he can find an accom modating drug store, or. hotel clerk or some employe of a simi lar all-night institution who will .cash a check he is put to a great inconvenience. ... . In so far as the larger cities are concerned, we Americans are qe coming a nation of night owls anyway. Trains, boats, cars, eat ing and drinking establishments run all night. Why not.the all night bank then? New York has set the pace and other cities will bo likely to fol low : its example. Norfolk Vir ginian-Pilot.

Portland, Ore., June 15. -Fol lowing a cloudburst a wall of wa ter twenty feet high j rushed down the gulchof Willow Greek atdusk yesterday and drowned nearly halt of ' the inhabitants of Hepp ner, Oregon. .The furious waters carried the residence Dart of the town away. . So great was the force of the water that boulders weighing a ton were rolled along the gulch, crushing everything in their path. Wires, bridges and railroads were swept . away. Complete reports hava not been received. The most reliable reports to - night say that the loss of life at Heppner will be at least 500, but the number of the dead is proba- bly larger. A report from lone, seventeen miles from HeDnner. JL 4 . says that 300.bodies carried there by the flood have been recovered. The flood came so suddenly that the inhabitants were unable to seek places of. safety and were carried down to death by the aw ful rush of water. Some of the business part of Heppner which is built on high ground, escaped. Early in the afternoon a thun derstorm occurred, -covering a wide region of country, and later a heavy rain storm set in, many of the small . streams overflowing their banks in a short time. The bridges were swept away as though they were straw, and the darkness of night soon made the situation more appalling. As soon as possible after the flood subsided the work of relief was begun by the surviving resi dents. Dozens of bodies were found along .the bends of the stream and in several places they were piled two or three deep. Up to 2 o'clock this afternoon 200 bodies had been recovered within the town. 1 - As- soon as possible news was sent by courier to the towns near asking for relief for . the stricken people. The Oregon. Railway and Navigation Company started a re lief train with doctors and sup plies from the Dalles shortly af ternoon with a party of one hun dred, including three doctors, four nurses and supplies of all kinds.
