There wa a decided hiatus in t... phone affair at 3 o'clock thi afternoon. Kverybody teemed suddenly inspired to 10 everybody else, and in a moment all the hell were ringing. The central man was knocked out, for he had his patent receivers on, and wi.en everybody talked to him at once, be ronldn't even close hi ears to the deafening din. Friday's Daily. The local market are fairly glutted with melons of all kinds except bad. The pay car came op yesterday after noon, making the railroad Jkivs reason ably happy. Mr. YVhealdou's uotary public com mission being renewal, wns filed for record yesterday. One disciple of Silenu graced the dock in the recorder' office this morn ing, and faced the mayor ." worth. Mr. John StoddarJ, formerly at Hood River in charge of the Oregon Lumber Co.' mills, died at Salt I-ake lact Sat urday. The heavy wind prevailing last uiirht cleared the air of smoke, from which we judge the country east of n runst have plenty of it tbi morning. We are requested to state that the ladies of The Dalle Ixnlge, I. O. G. T., will dispense ioe cream and cake Satur day evening In the high water building opposite Michell'a undertaking rooms, at 10 cent per dish. Yesterday wa auother scorcher but about sundown a fresh breeze swept up from the Columbia, bringing with it considerable sand and dust, but it was none the less welcome.

"Are yon a judge of reprobates?" laid an old lady a she walked into the jndge'l office, "I am the judge of pro bate," wa the reply. "Well, that's it, I expect," growled the old lady.

The weather bureau has sent out for publication in Kastern Oregon, a state ment of tbe temperature in Portland during tbe month of September, for twenty-two years ibhL We fail to tee wherein that would interest opIe op tbi way where climatic conditions are radically different from those on the western side of tbe Cascades.

The usual quantity of wool, about sixty tons, were taken down by tbe Regulator this morning. One would think that the ware house would soon lie emptied, but so fur what has gone can hardly be missed. Just w hy all our wool should fiud Its way east by starting west Is a mystery. We understand some of it goes to (.iulveston, Texas, and thence by steamer to Boston. Souie thirty member ol the fire com panies are pledged to attend the tourna ment at Oregon City, and will-leave here either Saturduv or Sundays Sept 1st or 2ud. The meeting promises to lie a fine one, with teams from all parts of the state, and we are glad to know that our city is to be represented. It would have been much to our discredit bad we not been represented, for Oregon City sent a fine team here. The air was filled yesterday with the winged thistle seeds seeking a place to locate and settle down to business. Some mild-eyed poet described tbe dan delion' delicate boll a tbe "ghost of tbe summer flowers;" a description that would apply nicely to the thistle's down. Indeed it would fit tbe latter much better, for besides the poetical side of the description it i quite true that the thistle ghosts, haunt the farmer. Just it Pavia lias been annoyed for two or three weeks by lady who eem determined to have tbe steward of the Kegulator arrested for breach of promise, or words to that effect, tbe offense being committed on tbe serial plan, and ex tending over period of three years. The justice very properly refused to entertain the complaint, as the lady re sides in the city of I'ortland, and there tbe promises were made and alas! broken. Some of the sidewalk are in a tearful conditiou, owing to the nails being left sticking op in the air for an Inch or two. If it is impossible to compel property owners to have tbe nails driven down, the council should by ordinance provide for having the sidewalk lifted up to a level with the top of the nail. Prop erty owners may not be aware of tbe fact that should someone injure a foot, or receive other injuries by reason of these nails, that a pretty bill of dam age could be collectod from them.

A MMlir Industry. For some day a poor fellow has been selling around town some very fine pieces of silica for polishing metal. More than cse person has looked upon the stuff as a manufactured article, but such is not the case. Tbe man' name is W. T. Meek and he get tbe tilica from a claim located by him fourteen mile west of The Dalles. It is in the natural state and the cke that be sells are sawed out of the vein that run across his place. It is likely that he has a very valuable property, for it is seven feet in width and of unknown depth, extending across his forty acres. The silica can be taken out in blocks six feet through. A well-known Buffalo chemist assayed specimens of it two years ago and learned that it was ninety eight per cent pure. Inasmuch as that found along the Atlantic coast seldom run higher than twenty-five per cent, and must be refined, Meek's property, which can be used in its natural state, should I worth a great deal. Portland Tomahawk. Took a Shot at Them. The Troutdale couple who were mar ried a few evenings ago had to adopt stronger measures with serenaders than did tbe Albina pair that called out tbe police department to tone down tbe bois terous crowd lient on extending congrat ulations. The newly married pair of Troutdale were so annoyed that the biidegroomk too a shot at the night prowlers. Fortunately no one was hit, but the crowd all dispersed. The disap pointed revelers then retaliated by mov ing on the town, w here they roused every sleeping iuhabitaut by their noise, so says a corresponMent. They wound up by killing a cat and stretching it up in front of a hostelery, togctder with an ap propriate sign. The proprieter say he would like to meet the parties w ho did the work, under conditions which he prefers to name. Troutdale is a lively town. Fablls School Kfitlc.

Aa Old War Bill. Yesterday Col. Sinnott unearthed an old freight bill of the O. R. & N. dated Feb. 12, 1804. In those days freight was charged lor by measurement instead of weight. The articles are suggestive of the trade in those days, consisting of four kegs of brandy, four boxes of eggs, two gunny bags of bacon, six barrel of whiskey, and a pipe of liquor. The whole lot measured 119 feet, and cost from San Francisco 64.50, the charge from Portland being $36, or about 18 per ton, as against S at the present date. The bill is in a remarkably good state of preservation, in spito of the thirty year that have passed siuce the colonel paid it. Tbe ink was good, for ilia as fresh looking as if made yester day.

A celestial who is engaged in ironing the soiled garments of his white brethren, came into our office this morning for the purpose of investing two-bits of bis hard earned money in second hand papers. To what base use our exchange may be put by en closing the varied aud numerous family washings ia of course no business of ours, though we wish to say right now that though we get a quarter of a cent upiece for them, that the money return is but trifle compared to the value we receive before they leave us. But this is all a digression ; what we wanted to say was that this celestial bad on a pair of black pant made of ailk and gorgeous beyond description. They were cat full, with flowing drapery gathered in a plait at the side. He was awfully proud of them , and at our request turned himself around so that we could admire tbe beauty of tbe combination. They were long waisted in the back, and a the top only came to the usual height the lower end of the waist reached nearly to hi knees, giving tbem an appearance of empty fullness ttt.1 rrns eimply killing.
