Thursday.
Mr. and Mrs. Gustave Walthers, the
parents of Mr. W. E. Walthers of this
city, have arrived here from San Diego
and intend making The Dalles their
future home. The Chbonicx gives
them a hearty welcome.
The Golden dale Sentinel says that
letters have been received by parties in
Goldendale stating that grain buyers are
offering to contract for the growing crop
of wheat at 70 to 75 cents a bushel at
points further from the seaboard than
Goldendale.
A fine rain commenced to fall at this
place at 7 :30 o'clock Friday morning and
has continued at intervals up to the
hour of going to press. From all quar
ters comes the report that abundant
rains have fallen. Several farmers have
begun to break sod.
There has' been fifty -one-hundredth b
of an inch of rainfall at this place since
last Monday morning ' and south and
east as well as north of this city, more
rain has fallen than here. . Our farmers
are happy over the anticipation of a
bountiful harvest this season.
The Dalles has had two good academies,
the Wasco Academy and St. Mary's
Academy. Pendleton also has two, the

Academy, and we are proud of them
both. Emt Orcgonian.
Mr. J. H. Middleton of Hood River
came up on the noon train today.
Owing to the poor condition of Mrs.
Middleton's health, they intend in about
six weeks to take a trip to the Sandwich
islands and afterwards spend the winter
in the neighborhood of San Diego, Cal
As soon after as the condition of Mrs.
Middleton's health will permit they in
tend to return to Hood River where Mr,
Middleton has large interests.
Kansas is having a hard time. Last
Saturday the southeastern portion of the
state was visited by a combination of
cloud-burst cyclone and tornado that
destroyed standing crops, in many cases
just ready for the reaper, and swept
away bridges and buildings, involving an
estimate loss-of half a million dollars.
Kansas is a good country to stay away
from.
Make your home premises beautiful.
Each citizen by his own labor and a lit'
tie money expended can add greatly to
the attractiveness of the town. Brush
up, take down the unsightly old fences,
sod the lawns, be unsparing with the
paint brush and harmonious colors, see
that the alleys are cared for and the
streets in front of home clean these
things done, each wtll not only be
healthier and happier, but will add his
part toward making the town handsome
as well us healthy.
Mr. and Mrs. Henry Williams have re
turned from a camping-out trip to Yak'
una City and the Ellensburg country,
whither they went two weeks ago for the
benefit of Mrs. Williams' health, which
is much improved in consequence. Mr.
Williams returns satisfied that there is
no place like Wasco county! He says
he would not give The Dalles for all the
country north of the Columbia river.
. Ellensburg is as pretty a town as he
ever saw but he never saw a town with
many empty bouses. He counted
chase their tickets in order to secure the
benefit of the reduced return rates.
A private letter to the editor of the
Chboniclx from an old resident of Wasco
county now living in Yakima City says :
"Times are dull here. The soil is very
productive, where , there is water to ir
rigate and the country is full of go-ahead
people but it is boomed to death. : For a
home give me old Wasco."
Mr. George Smith", doing business on
the corner of Eighth and Union streets,
has sold out to Mr. Charles Cooper, who
will move to the building next door to
the Wool Exchange saloon, and open
out a grocery and provision store. Mr.
Cooper is well and favorably known and
well qualified to -carry on a successful
business.
Mr. And. Winans, of Winans Brothers

with a Chinook salmon of last night's
catch. Visions .of salmon grilled and
salmon boiled and salmon- baked and
salmon broiled float over our vision as
we write the words.. Many thanks to
Mr. And. Winans. May his shadow
never grow less. "
From Mr. David Creighton we learn
that a small water-spout fell on bis ranch
and on that of Mr. Frank Creighton ad
joining, Friday afternoon between two
and three o'clock. The water rushed for
s short time down the hill west of his
barn, between two and three feet deep.
Beyond
eight empty dwelling nouses in one
short street, and the remark will apply
to the whole city. There is more life in
The Dalles today than in all thatcountry.
They can raise nothing without irrigation
and when it comes to raising wheat by
irrigation it is an uphill business.
Along the borders of the ditches wheat
was up six to eight inches while s.x feet
back it bad never appeared above ground.

v'e learn that some of our merchants
are not willing to let their employes off
during the coming incampment, so that
they can participate with their respec
tive companies A and C. We hope such
will not be the case. The Dalles should
take pride in haviug their companies
appear well and every man Deiong-
ing to either of the organizations
should be allowed to participate.
A feeling of patriotism should
make employers let their clerks
go with their companies. Numerically,
A and C are smaller than any of the com
panies that will be present at the en
campment and if a dozen or so of the
boys are compelled to remain at work in
the stores The Dalles will make a poor
showing. We hope to be able to report
that every employer in this city will
make arrangments to let the boys be in
the ranks during encampment week.
Let's all join together to bring about a
result so much to be desired.

Jndge Thornbnry, Captain Lewis and
Messrs Kloster, Haight, Burgett and E.

city a basket of trout numbering 300,

presented with a sample lot. They are
beauties and the Ivery 1 sight of them
makes an old disciple of .Walton long to

Mr. W. Lord returned Friday from
his ranch at Centerville.' He says that
the rain has assured a big crop in the
Klickitat county. It came just in time
to save the wheat, for had it been delay
ed a few days the crops would have been
a total loss. As it is the ground has been
wet to such a depth that a full crop will
be had, even if no more moisture falls.
Hurrah for Klickitat county.
The Goldendale Sentinel publishes a
letter from W. P. Gray stating that he is
perfecting arrangements with the North
ern Pacific' railway company to secure
the use of their steamers for the purpose
of collecting and delivering, freight at
Pasco and running down the Columbia
and up the Snake river, if there is any
reasonable expectation . of securing
enough" freight to make the business pay.
Mr. Gray also inquires if the producers
of Klickitat county would ship their
products to market or prefer to sell them
on the bank of the river.
Friday afternoon as . the steam
power presses of the Chronicle were
grinding out their daily grist of news
and job work over a score of persons
were present, more or less-interested in
watching the operations. Among the
visitors were Mr. and Mrs. Thomas

in the west and north of Pendleton and
Walla Walla the wheat has been burnt
some. Some few fields will not be cut.
On the foot hills and hie lands the
wheat was never better. The quality of
the wheat will be even better than last
year. The out-put from eastern Oregon
and Washington from present indications
will be from one to two million or more
bushels than that of last year.

The Sentinel's View.
We believe an open river to The
Dalles will be a benefit to the farmers
living within reach of that place and we
further believe that the owners of the
new boat expect and should receive the
patronage of such farmers, but when we
consider that Klickitat county extends
nearly one hundred miles above The
Dalles we can see at a glance that it is
impossible for all farmers living in this
country to haul their grain there. What
we are working tons to procure boats to
haul wheat from Columbus and stations
above the river to Pasco, where( provided
reasonable terms cannot be made with
the U. P.,) it can be shipped by way of
the N. P. to market. The management
of the N. P. is at present taking steps to
reduce rates on these lines so that ship
pers and farmers can ship to market
and have something left, but the U. P.
is holding on like grim death as if deter
mined to squeeze the last bit of life out
of the country adjacent to it. Ocldendale

We agree with The Dalles Chronicle
in regard to the new boat being built at
that place, and believe that before the
farmers of Klickitat make definite ar
rangements with the Northern Pacific

view the gentlemen who are spending
their monev for the exDress ouroose
of benefitting the settlers of this and ad-
lofning counties. Of course it will be
farther for a great many of the farmers
to haul, bnt if the difference in price is

Brooklyn, June 7. It ia no new thing
to the members of the Brooklyn Tabernacle
church to have their pastor's eminence ac
knowledged by the outside world. But
even they must have been gratified by the
distinction conferred upon him since last
Sunday. In listening to Dr. Talmage to
day, they were listening to the chaplain of
the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Com
pany of Massachusetts, in which office he
was formally installed with due ceremony
on Jane L, The organization, which is
two hundred and fifty years old, and the
lineal descendant of an English organiza
tion dating back to the beginning of the
Sixteenth century, has had many distin
guished divines as chaplains, and the honor
has always been highly, appreciated. The
subject of Dr. Talmage's sermon this
morning was "The Burden Bearer," and
his text Psalm lv, 23 "Cast thy harden
upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee."
THE SERMON.
. David was here taking his own medicine.
If anybody had on him heavy weights.
David had them, and yet out of his own
experience he advises yon and me as to the
best way of getting rid of hardens. This ia
a world of burden bearing. Coming into
the house of prayer there may be no sijrn
of sadness or sorrow, but where is the man
who has not a conflict? Where is the soul
that has not a straggler And there is not
a day of all the year when my text is not
gloriously appropriate, and there is never
an audience assembled on the planet where
the text does not fit the occasion: "Cast
thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall
sustain thee." In the far east wells of
ter are so infrequent that when .
owns a well be has a property of very great
value, and sometimes battles hare been
fought for the possession of one well of
water; bnt there is one well that every man
owns a deep well, a perennial well, a well
of tears. If a man has not a harden on
this shoulder, he has a burden on the other
shoulder.
The day I left home to look after myself
and for myse, in the wagon my father sat
driving, and he said that day something
which has kept with me all my life: De
Witt, it is always safe to trust God.
have many a time come to a crisis of diffi
culty. You may know that, having been
sick for fifteen years, it was no easy thing
for me to support a family; but always
God came to the rescue. . I remember the
time," he said, "when I didn't know what
to do, and I saw a man on horseback rid
ing np the farm lane, and he announced to
me that I bad been nominated for the most
lucrative office in the gift of the people of
the county, and to that office I was elected,
and God in that way met all my wants.
and I tell you it ia always safe to trust
him.
Oh, my friends, what we want is a prac
tical religion 1 The religion people have ia
so high np you cannot reach it. I had a
friend who entered the life of an evange
list. He gave up a lucrative business in
Chicago, and he and his wife finally came
to severe want. He told me that in the
morning at prayers be said: "O Lord, thou
knowest we have not a mouthful of food
in the house! - Help me; help us!" And he
started ont on the street, and a gentleman
met him and said: "I have been thinking
of you for a good while. You know I am
a flour merchant; if you won't be offended,
I should like to send you a barrel of flour."
My friend cast his burden on the Lord,
and the Lord sustained him. In the
Straits of Magellan, I have been told, there
is a place where whichever way a captain
puts his ship he finds the wind against
him, and there are men who all their lives
have been running in the teeth of the
wind, and which way to turn they do not
know. Some of them may be here this
morning, and I address them face to face,
not perfunctorily, bnt as one brother talks
to another brother, "Cast thy burden npon
the Lord, and he shall sustain thee."
THE BU6IKKS8 MAN'S BURDEN.
First There are a great many men who
have business burdens. When we see a
man harried and perplexed and annoyed in
business life we are apt to say, "He ought
not to have attempted to carry so much."
Ah, that man may not be to blame at alll
When a man plants a business he does not
know what will be its outgrowths, what
will be its roots, what will be its branches.
There is many a man with keen foresight
and large business faculty who has been
flung Into the dost by unforeseen tireum
atanoes springing upon him from ambush.
When to buy, when to sell, when to trust
and to what amount of credit, what will be
the effect of thia new invention of machin
ery, what will be the effect of that loss of
crop and a thousand other questions per
plex business men until the hair is silvered
and deep wrinkles are plowed in the cheek,
and the stocks go np by the mountains and
go down by the valleys, and they are at
their wits' ends and stagger like drunken
men.
- There never has been a time when there
have been such rivalries in buslne
now. It is hardware against hardware,
books against books, chandlery against
chandlery, imported- article against im
ported article. A thousand stores in com
bat with another thousand stores. Never
such advantage of light, never such vari
ety of assortment, never so much splendor
of show window, never so much adroit
ness of salesmen, never so much acutenesa
of advertising, and amid all the severities
of rivalry in business how many men
break down! Oh, the burden on the
shoulder! Oh, the burden on the heart!
You hear that it ia avarice which drives
these men of business through the street,
and that ia the commonly accepted idea.
I do not believe a word of it.
The vast multitude of theea business
men are toiling on for others. To educate
their children, to put the wing of protec
tion over their households, to have some
thing left so when they pass ont of this
life their wives and children will not have
to go to the poorhouse that ia the way
translate this energy in the street and
store the vast majority of that energy.
Grip, Gouge & Co. do not do all the busi
ness. Some of us remember when - the
Central America was coming home from
California, it was wrecked. President
Arthur's father-in-law was the heroic cap
tain of that ship, and went down with
most of the past"lrers. "
Some of them got off into lifeboats, but
there was a young man returning from
California who had a bag of gold in his
hand; and aa the last boat shoved off from
the ship that was to go down that man
shouted to a comrade in the boat, "Here,
John, catch ta is gold; there are $3,000;
take it home to my old mother; it will
make her comfortable in her last days."
Grip, Gouge & Co. do not do all the busi
ness of the world. Ah! my friend, do yoa
lay that God does not care anything about
your worldly business? I tell you God
knows more about - it than you do. He
knows all your perplexities; he knows
what .mortgagee is about to foreclose;
he knows what note you cannot pay;
he knows what unsalable goods you have
ou your shelves; he knows all your trials,
from the day you took hold of the first
yardstick down to the sale of the last yard
of ribbon, and the God who helped David
to be king, and who helped Daniel to be
prime minister, and who helped Havelock
to be a soldier, will help you to discharge
all your duties. He is going to see you
through. When loss comes, aud you find
your property going, just take this Book
and put it down by your ledger, and read
of the eternal possesions that will come to
you through our Lord Jesus Christ. And
when your business partner betrays yon,
and your frieutls turn against you, just
take the insulting letter, put it down on
the table, put your Bible beside the insult
ing letter, and then read of the friend
ship of him who "nticketh closer than a
brother." -
THE LORD 8U8TAIKED HIM. '
A young accountant in New York city
got his accounts entangled. He knew be
was honest, and yet he could not make his
accounts come out right, and be toiled at
them day and night until he was nearly
frenzied. It seemed by those books that
something had been misappropriated, and
went over there very early, before there
was anybody in the place, and he knelt
down at the desk and said: "Oh, Lord,
thou knowest I have tried to be honest, but
I cannot make these things come ont right!
Help me today help me this morning!"
The young man arose and hardly know
ing why he did so opened a book that lay
on the desk, and there was a leaf contain
ing a line of figures which explained every
thing. In other words, he east his burden
npon the Lord and the Lord sustained
him. Young man, do you hear that? Oh,
yes; God has a sympathy with anybody
that is in any kind of toil! He knows
how heavy is the hod of bricks that the
workman carries up the ladder of the wall;
he hears the pickax of the miner down in
the coal shaft; he knows how strong the
tempest strikes the sailor at masthead; he
sees the factory girl among the spindles
and knows how her arms ache; he sees the
sewing woman in the fourth story and
knows how few pence she gets for making
a garment; and louder than all the din and
roar of the city comes the voice of a sym
pathetic God, "Cast thy burden npon the
Lord, and he shall sustain thee."
Second There are a great many who
have a weight of persecution and abuse
upon tbem. sometimes society gets a
grudge against a man. All hii'inotives
are misinterpreted, and his good deeds- are
depreciated. With more virtue than some
of the honored and applauded, he runs
only against raillery and sharp criticism.
When a man begins to go down he has not
only the force of natural gravitation, bnt
a hundred hands to help him in the pre
cipitation. Men are persecuted for their
virtues and their successes. Germanicus
said he had just as many bitter antagonists
as he . had adornments. The character
sometimes is so lustrous that the weak
eyes of envy and jealousy cannot bear to
look at it. It was their integrity that put
Joseph in the pit, and Daniel in the den,
and Shadrach in the fire, and sent John
the Evangelist to desolate Patmos, and
Calvin to the castle of persecution, and
John Huss to the stake, and Korah after
Moses, and Saul after David, and Herod
after Christ. Be sure if .you have anything
to do for church or state, and yon attempt
it with all your soul, the lightning will
strike you.
INTEGRITY AXWATS BRINGS ABUSE."
The world always has had a cross be
tween two thieves for the one who comes
to save it. High and holy enterprise has j
always oeen loiiowea oy souse, xne most
sublime tragedy of self sacrifice has come
to burlesqne. The graceful gait of virtue
is always followed by grimace and travesty.
The sweetest strain of poetry ever written
has come to ridiculous parody, and as long
as there are virtue and righteousness in the
world, there will be something for iniquity
to grin at. All along the line of the ages,
and in all lands, the cry has been: "Not
this man, but Barabbas. Now, Barahhaa
was a robber."
And what makes the persecutions of life
worse is that they come from people whom
you have helped, from those to whom you
have loaned money or have started in busi
ness, or whom you rescued in some great
crisis. I think it has been the history of
ail oar lives the most acrimonious assault
has come from those whom we have bene
fited, whom we have helped, and that
makes it all the harder to hear. A man is
in danger of becoming cynical.
A clergyman of the Universalist church
went into a neighborhood for the establish
ment of a church of his denomination,
and he was anxious to find some one of
that denomination, and he was pointed to
a certain house and went there. He said
to the man of the house, "I understand
you are a Universalist; I want you to help
me in the enterprise." "Well," said tha
man, "I am a Universalist, bat I have a
peculiar kind of Universalism." "What
is that?" asked the minister. "Well," re
plied the other, "I have been ont in the
world, and I have been cheated and slan
dered and outraged and abused until I be
lieve in universal damnation!"
The great danger ia that men will be
come cynical and given to believe, as Da
vid was tempted to say, that all men are
liars. Oh, my friends, do not let that be
the effect npon your souls! If you cannot
endure a little persecution how do you
think our fathers endured great persecu
tion? Motley, in his "Dutch Republic,"
tells as of Egmont the martyr, who, con
demned to be beheaded, unfastened his col
lar on the way to the scaffold; and when
they asked him why he did that he said.
So they will not be detained in theii
work; I want to be ready." Oh, how littU
we have to endure compared with those
who have gone before us!
BUDGE NOT ONE INCH.
Now, if you have come across ill treat
ment, let me tell you you are in excellent
company Christ and Lather and Galileo
and Columbus and John Jay and Josiah
Quincy and thousands of men and women,
the best spirits of earth and heaven.
Badge not one inch, though all hell wreak
npon yoa its vengeance, and you be mad
a target for devils to shoot at. . Do yon not
think Christ knows all about persecution?
Was he nofhissed at? Was he not struck
on the cheek? Was he not pursued all the
days of his life? Did they not expectorate
upon him? Or, to put it in Bible lan
guage, "They spit upon him." And can
not he understand what persecution is!
"Cast thy harden upon the Lord, and ha
shall sustain thee."
Third There are others who carry great
burdens of physical ailments. When sud
den Bickness has come, and fierce choleras
and malignant fevers take the castles of
life by storm, we appeal to God; but in
these chronic ailments which wear out the
strength day after day,, and week after
week, and year after year, how little re
sorting to God for solace! Then people de
pend upon their tonics and their plasters
and their cordials rather than npon heav
enly stimulants. Oh, how few people
there are completely well! Some of you, by
dint of perseverance and care, have kept
living to this time; but how you have had
to war against physical ailments! Ante
diluvians, without medical college and in
firmary and apothecary shop, multiplied
their years by hundreds; but he who has
gone through the gantlet of disease in our
time, and has come to seventy yean of age,
is a hero worthy of a palm.
THE BURDEN OF ILLNESS.
The world seems to be a great hospital.
and yon run against rheumatisms and eon-
sumptaons and scrofulas and neuralgias
and scores of old diseases baptized by new
nomenclature. Oh, how heavy a burden
sickness is! It takes the color out of- the
sky, and the sparkle out of the wave, and
the sweetness out of the fruit and the lus
ter out of the night. When the limbs ache,
when the respiration is painful, when the
mouth is hot, when the ear roars with nn-
healthy.obstructions, how hard it is to be
patient and cheerful and assiduous! "Cast
thy burden upon the Lord." Does your
head ache? His wore the thorn. Do your
feet hurt? His were crushed of the spikes.
Is your side painful? His was struck by
the spear. Do you feel like giving way un
der the burden? His weakness gave way
Under a cross.
While yon are in every possible way to
try to restore your physical vigor, you are
to remember that more soothing than any
anodyne,and more vitalizing than any stim
ulant, and more strengthening than any
tonic is the prescription of the text: "Cast
thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall
sustain thee."- We hear a great deal of
talk now about faith cure, and some people
say it cannot be done and it is a failure. I
do not know but that the chief advance of
the church is to be in that direction. Mar
velous things come to me day by day
which make me think that if the age of
miracles is past it is because the faith of
miracles is past.
A prominent merchant of New York
said to a member of my family, "My moth
er wants her case mentioned to Mr. Tal-
mage." This was the cnae. . He said: My
mother had a dreadful abscess, from which
she had suffered untold agonies, and all
surgery had been exhausted upon her, and
worse and worse sbe grew until we called
in a few Christian friends and proceeded
to pray about it. We commended her case
to God, and the abscess began immediately
to be cured. She is entirely well now, and
without knife and without any surgery."
So that case has come to me, and there are
a score of other cases coining to onr ears
from all parts of the earth. Oh, ye who
are sick, go to Chrkitl Oh, ye who are
the burden of bereavement. Ah! these are
the troubles that wear us ont. If we lose onr
property, by additional industry perhaps
we may onng back the estranged f octane;
if we lose our good name, perhaps by
reformation ot morals we may achieve
again reputation for integrity; but who will
bring back the dear departed? Alas met
for these empty cradles and these trunks
of childish toys that will never be used
again. Alas me! for the empty chair and
the silence in the balls that will never echo
again to those familiar footsteps. Alas!
for the cry of widowhood and orphanage. "
What bitter Marahs In the wilderness.
what cities of the dead, what long black
shadow from the wing of death, what eyes
sunken with grief, what hands tremulous
with bereavement, what instruments of
music shut now because there are no fin
gers to play on them! Is there no relief
for such souls? Aye, let the soul ride into
the harbor of my text.
The soul that on Jesus hath leaned for repose,
I will not, I will not desert to its foes;
That soul, though all hell shall endeavor to
shake,
ril never, no never, no never forsake.
Now, the grave is brighter than the an
cient tomb where the lights were perpetu
ally kept burning. The scarred feet of
him who was "the resurrection and the
life" are on the broken grave hillock, while
the voices of angels ring down the sky at
the coronation of another soul come home
to glory.
THE ONLY CUSS FOB BIN.
Then there are many who carry the bur
den of sin. Ah, we all carry it until in
the appointed way that burden is lifted.
We need no Bible to prove that the whole
race is ruined. What a spectacle it would
be if we could tear off the mask of human
defilement, or beat a drum that would
bring up the whole army of the world's
transgressions the deception, the fraud,
and the rapine, and the murder, and the
crime of all the centuries! Aye, if I could
sound the trumpet of resurrection in the
soul of the best men in this audience, and
all the dead sins of the past should come
up, we could not endure the sight. Sin,
grim and dire, has put its clutch upon the
immortal soul, and that clutch will never
relax unless it .be under the heel of him
who came to destroy the works of the devil.
Oh, to have a mountain of sin on the
soul! Is there no way to have the burden
moved? Oh, yes. "Cast thy burden upon
the Lord." The sinless one came to take
the consequences of onr sin! And I know
he is in earnest. How do I know it? By
the streaming temples and the streaming
hands as he says, "Come unto me all ye
wno are weary and heavy laden, and I will
give you rest." Why will prodigals live
on swines' husks when the robe, and the
ring, and the father's welcome are ready?
Why go wandering over the great . Sahara
desert of yonr sin when you are invited to
the gardens of God, the trees of life and
the fountains of living water? Why be
.houseless and homeless forever when you
may becoma the sons and daughters of tha
lxrd God Almighty?

The Meanness of It.
We do not think that there exists any
where on earth a smaller-souled, more
heartless corporation than the Union
Pacific railway. In the -matter of the
coming encampment the managers of
that corporation has had another chance
to show their stinginess. The rates have
been fixed at two cents per mile for
companies to the encampment on the
4th of July. This will make the Baker
City boys pay $10 for the privilege of
coining here. In marked contrast to
this is the fact that the Northern Pacific
carries the militia to encampments any
where on their line- both ways for one
cent per mile. The Lord may have
made a meaner management than that
of the Union facinc, but we have never
beard that he did, and we doubt if he
ever will. .
