The Adventures of sv Lad Who Desired to Enjoy the Day. ' He la the Hon. Jacob now, a dignified nd able senator, bat back in the fifties he was simply Jake to all except his grandmother, the pastor who christened aim, and the teacher when school was to. His first Fourth of July, according to the recollection of co temporaries, was celebrated in a little New England settle ment composed of farmers and miners The old folka were alow, but not so the young ones, and in 1856, there being no general celebration on the docket, the boys of Oreville voted to have one of their own. Jake was in his eighth year, sad though 'not formally on the committee, he was around daring the ' councils, and by a timely word named the location for the "doings." It was a rocky hilltop on his father's land, abovt 800 feet above level, the THE CANNONADE. , most sightly and convenient spot in the rwanityr- Jake felt bis responsibjlity young a be was, and worked like a beaver to make the affair a success. The rUlase;fii?nred in history , aa a place where Washington . had ; had cannon made, anda cannonading outfit was early attended to Three ' small pieces were borrowed from among the relics treas ured in the neighborhood and- dragged up tbe steep - hill ' A flagpole was raised, and bough booths for shelter and refresbruenta invited", the populace to oome and make merry Everything was complete. (. Stores of fireworks, of powder, of sugar andJeuouB, and cakf j and candies were on band, hi'! den in walled op caves, and the boys of Oreville sat np all night to welcome the inhabitants that would be eommoned by a sunrise salute. The--salute was on time, if not a little previous, bat the morning hoars dragged. Break fneie came and went, and not a soul aide from the faithful few who were doing it.all, and the inevitable small boy hangers on rallied to the hilltop to cel ebrate. The committee boys felt thin at the waist, and one by one went home to breakfast, promising to return on wings in order to do their assigned parts. An hoar passed, then another, ana tm another, and only now and then a spectator was half carried, half coaxed, to the hilltop. Jak madatb trip from the store, the mines and the cottages to the hill dozens and scores of times, and finally from sheer exhaustion and dis appointment gave it np. The cannon boomed . at intervals np, down and across the valley: the flag flapped lazily on the pole; the lemonade grew stale and the candy almost melted in the burning sun The ardor of the boys be gan to wane, and finally there was no one to serve the guns but Jake, whose enthusiasm was reduced to a simple re gard for the reputation of bis hill In a fit of desperation and etnger he scooped a handful of small stones from the ground und rammed them in on a charge of powder. The discharge was so much louder that he repeated the dose in other guns, until the whole val ley got a bombardment of stones that shattered window panes and rattled on the roofs of the houses. The boys laughed and cheered when they saw the people rush out of doors and stare at .the display on the hilltop. A dozen pairs of hands fell to gathering stones, and after a few more velleys the inhabitants turned out en masse and climbed np the hill for safety. Then the boy renamed blank charges and the day closed with every soal in Oreville on Jake's bill Years passed before Jake got an other chance to play a leading part in Fourth of July doings. The year fol lowing he had emigrated to another state, and spent the day wandering from cross roads to crossroads, and from postofflce to postofflce looking for the Fourth. The next year he put in hoeing corn. The year after that he held a flag for a Sun day school picnic, riding twenty miles standing np in a hay wagon' loaded with fidgeting, perspiring humanity, and went home to reflect that he had endured the tortures of a twenty mile ride on lum ber tracks, working like a yeoman mean while to keep old glory afloat, just to eat some of his mother's cake and his aunt's bread and his cousin's biscuit. The next year, however, made np for a string of eventless Fourths. It was the occasion of" the Prince of Wales' visit to America, and Jake had become a town boy in a wide awake place that got np a mock reception to a spurious highness, who made his en trance in state on a canal barge. The fantastic turnout was something gor geous in its hideousness and in its uni versality All America, including even Ah Sin and a group of his cousins, was represented in a procession that moved with floats and carriages, on foot and on horseback. Up to the last moment the aborigines were forgotten in the rage for showing foreign' acquisitions. Jake was a patron of the literature of the border and an admirer of the red man, and his services were accepted without question to fill the gap in the procession. All went well, and -the umber colored child of the forest received his share of homage from the crowds that reviewed the pageant - Finally the canal bridge came in sight, with the prince standing on the edge of the barge receiving the welcome of the nations at the hands of a spokesman as each division came np Jake saw just in time that he wad a nation ail in him self, and must be hi own spokesman, j although no speech had been given him j to rehearse it occurred to' him. too, j that his speech mnst be in the Indian j tongue, and ho knew bnt one expression , that he could trust biinself on Halt- J Ing and saluting the prince ,and his i train with many contortions intended I to convey ' respect he' bawled out. , Say-go-ye-wat-a-hah," to the amaze--, ment - of- the king of the fantastical : the mogul of tho day. who stood, beside the distinguished guest.

"What a hog." his eye meanwhile being on the im posing and all overshadowing king. The king lost no time in taking aim with his eight foot saber of block tin to behead the rascal who dared insult two majesties at a word, and Jake turned heel and dived off the other side of the bridge into the canal to excape that ter rible ciineter. .He came np smiling, as a good diver would, but with his feather headdress and train soaked and droop ing, and his cheap war paint making streaks down his stained muslin hunting shirt and legging. . At the fantastic ball which wonnd up the occasion there was no Red Brother on hand, for all the roosters of the community had parted with their tails to supply the first outfit, and these would have to grow oat again before another real live Indian could be constructed.

The celebration of the Fourth at this place was, in some respects a complete success, and in others a complete failure. The largest crowd perhaps, ever seen in The Dalles was gathered from all points of the compass far and near. The entire i urogram, with the single exception of i the sham battle, was carried out accord ! to arrangement, but the day was miser ; able, almost beyond endurance, as the wind blew almost a continual hurricane, i and filled eyes and ears with blinding ' dust, which the good natured crowd. however, bore with remarkable equa- i nimity and patience. The .,: Tko nrmci jwucutc. xue iuwtmiuu ' was formed in time and place, as near as ; could be to programme. About 500 momluN if thtk Hrnrrnn Anfl Wftahlnfvtnri I u.UUUw. . - e-- t guards headed the procession and pre sented a fine and imposing appearance These were followed by the J. W. Nes inith post G. A. R. ; then the Liberty Car, drawn by four jet black horses and filled with forty-four little girls of about the ages of eight to ten and Miss Annie Sylvester as god deas of liberty. This was followed by i wagons filled with army baggage of tne O. N. G. followed by citizens in wagons and carriages. Then came the band, then the fire engines followed by the members of the fire companies, then the hose carts and ladder truck, then the members of The Dalles bicvele club on their vehicles, then came a baud of In dians dressed in war costume and gorgeous . in paint and leathers then came Indians in wagons and hacks followed by a genuine prairie schooner propelled by a yoke of patient oxen, the i schooner filled with men, women, chil dren, and the usual assortment of broken chairs and cracked pots and indented tinware. Back of the wagon and hitched to it was a delapidate'd cayuse covered with a cloth on which was printed "Billy's' Horse." Then catne a genuine old-fashioned stage coach drawn by six horses followed by an imitation of a modern railroad coach of the U. P. trans continental line on which, among other appropriate devices was the legend "This is the road you long have sought and mourued because you found it not, This was followed by a handsomely decorated wagon belonging to the enter prising firm of Joles Brothers ; then a line of citizens and a procession of plug uglies closed the rear, Governor Pennoyer, who came up for that purpose, viewed the procession of the National Guards from an open car riage. THE ORATION. The vast procession formed in front of the speaker's stand and after music by the band Judge Bennet called on Rev. C. W. Curtis to lead in prayer, af ter which the declaration of independ- ance was read, with very clear and dis tinct enunciation by Mr. John Michell, editor of the Times-Mountaineer. After more music by the band Judge Bennet introduced the orator of the day Hon. C. W. Fulton of Astoria. Mr. Fulton commenced by saying that he was in favor of the celebration of Indenend- ance day, and of every thing connected with it from the fat man and plug ug- lies up. i-very American boy should be told the history of his country and of her struggles for freedom. They should be made familiar wJth the history of revolutionary times and of the heroes who too part in it. 1 would teach them the history ot Washington not partic ularly the hatchet story that I would reserve till they should become members of the common council or. of the legis lature, but I would have told them of the dark clouds that gathered over our nation when internal foes sought its de struction and by what- means these clouds were finally dispelled until now we possess the blessings of " Union and liberty, now and forever, one and insep arable." The day we celebrate is of pro found interest to every lover of the country, 115 years ago, first called the United States of America. We, of the present generation are specially privil eged to celebrate all the leadinganniver sanes connected witu the birth of a na tion that excel Is every other nation on earth in everything from a sweet potatoe to a cyclone. I believe it is right to have a day specially devoted to the giv ing vent to our patriotism ; and aB good champagne is known by its etfervessing qualities so our patriotism may be meas ured by the exuberance with which we celebrate. I believe in the American eagle, and I love to hear it scream; and a ueiieve in me scat spangiea oanner mat has noatea over our nation ior the past 115 years, the emblem of our lib- erty which is growing grander and grand- er as the years roll by. I believe that American manhood is the aggregation of all that is best of the earth's population and that American ladies are only equal to themselves, they only need wings to be angels, and these we "don't want them to get yet awhile. I ani no pessi mist, x don't oeueve tnat all honesty is gone from the earth and that the peo ple of former generations were better than those ot today. I have no doubt that manv of those whose names ire are proud to honor would have been as hard to tackle in a horse trade as some of their descendants. I believe that a gen eration that set free four hundred mil lions of human slaves is better than the generations that kept them in bondage and when after four years of fratricidal strife we can thus meet to celebrate a Union still maintained or when a people can be roused to the cry of suffering and distress as in the Johnston's disaster- or yellow fever in the south or the Seattle and Sokane fire, I believe we have a proof that the world is getting better. But looking back noon the past we must admit that there have been defects in our fortifications. ' We have been prodigal with our liberty. All nations have . been invited and the poor and distressed, of all lands have flocked here ahd we have made them welcome. While the majority came to support the flag, others came to take adyanti.ee of our liberty. This nation is good enough for me, but I insist that we frame our own laws and that no flag shall float over us but our own stars and stripes. If this does not suit the asthetic taste of the European anarchist or .the Muffian brigand it will not cost him a dollar to move out from under the stars and stripes and I am in favor of helping him to do so aa quickly as possible. Foreign ers are welcome'hut we have no use for a class that comes hereto decry or tram ple upon our institutions. It is fit to day that we should remember, not onlv the names of Grant and Logan and Sher man ana Sheridan, bat of the rank and file of the grand army rf the republic, of the men whose patriotism inspired them not to seek glory but to acchieve it in the path of duty. Where the grass grows over their sacred dast it grows on the graves of patriots. All honor to the Grand Army of the Republic, the living and the dead I We would remember tod, the great statesmen of the past; men who, like Daniel Webster, wiser than their generation, pointed out the danger the lalior of their lives sought to avert. and him who stood foremost in the breach when the danger came, Father Abraham, nrin in bis convictions as a rock of adamant, but with a heart as gentle as that of a woman. At the head of my list of patriots of all time I place, tne name 01 ADranam .Lincoln. Like a ninncenl comet that grows ongnter I ... . . . SorU 1 u TV ! Ti x i Vu Drignter as tune rous on, wnue on tne pages of human history no grander name was ever written. At the close of Senator Fulton's ad dress, of which the foregoing is but a very imperfect synopsis, loud calls were made for Governor Pennoyer who re sponded in a short, - good-humored and characteristic speech which was well and cordially received and after the band had played another selection the audi ence was dismissed by Judge Bennet and the vast crowd scattered, some to their homes and others to the restau rants and hotels or other places of re freshment. TUB ATHLETIC 8POHT8s The following is the result of the races and base ball game at the fair ground : The five-eights mile mixed bicycle dash waswon by Ed. Kiggs; time, 2:10. The three mile large wheel bicycle race was won by Ed. Biggs : time, 14.32. The half mile safety bicycle race was won by L. D. Ainsworth ; time, 1 :48. The base ball game in which the Maple Dells of the Cascades were pitted against The Dalles club resulted in a victory for the Maple Dells by a ecore of seven to three. THE BACKS. In the horse races there were five en tries for the half mile running dash. Ben Pratt's Local took the first place, Grant Mays' Jo-Jo, second and J. F. Drift's Tommy, third; time 57 seconds. In the half mile trotting race there were three entries, only two, however, com peting, J. P. Mclnerny's Jessie beating M. A. Moody's Pet ; time 14 :7 and 1 :37. .THE ACCIDENTS. At least four accidents, three of them of a severe nature, occured Saturday in connection with the celebration at this place. Otea Bur ford, son of J. T. Bur- ford of Centerville, was thrown violently from a cart, on the other side the river. His arm was broken and the cart smash' ed into splinters, As the procession was marching west on Fourth street the borse of adjutant Haworth became ungovernable, and as the saddle was loose Mr Haworth was thrown violently to the ground. No greater injurv resulted than a bruised hip andademoralized pair of regulation pants. As the procession ot plug uglies was marching west on Second street near the corner of Laughim, a man named Thomas, who was mounted on a pair of stilts fully twelve to fifteen feet in the air, tripped and fell violently to the ground, lighting on . his face. He picked up bleeding and bruibed and carried out of the sun where he soon re- vived sufficiently to be able to walk to bis home. The fourth accident was the worst of al aiul tho9ft vhn ,t AarK ,t - miracle that a lite was not lost, in one one of the bicycle contests, at the fair ground as Mr. J. P. FitzGerald, drum major of the third regiment band, was nearing the wire, his machine ran into a dog that was lying on the track. Mr. FitzGerald was thrown violently to the ground and for a time it was feared that he was killed but, in a short time he revived sufficiently to allow himself to be conveyed home where it was found that beyond some severe bruises and cuts in the face and arm he was not seriously injured. He is resting easily today and in a short time, we have no doubt, will be around again. A fifth accident, in no way connected with the celebration happened to H. Clerish an' old and well known resident of this city, who came here in 1869, as a soldier under the com mand of General Crook.

Dr. Hollister was called in and found that the - man was suffering from a compound fracture of one of his arms. The bones are saia to be broken in several pieces and the in jury may result disasterously as air. Clerish is old and of feeble constitution. PYROTECHNIC DISPLAY. 1 Thousands of People Witness the Dis play In the Erenloc. No better selection could have been chosen than the foot of Washington street where the fireworks were let off Saturday night. The banks of the lord ly Columbia were covered by an immense. concourse of people who were delighted by the display made... A barge - was an chored near the shore and from that all the fireworks were discharged. The committee showed as good taste in the selection of fireworks as they did in the location, and everything in regard to the pyrotechnic display was pleasing and satisfactory. The goods were purchased of Mr. Jacobson and under his manaee- ment thev were jet ofr and he is entitled to much credit for carrying out so suc cessfully his part of the celebration George Erauss will start today on a trip to Mount Hood. WIILIAM HENRY GLADSTON. The Eldest Son of the Great Kngllsh Statesman Dies In London LONDON, July 4. William Henrv Gladstone, the eldest son of the great English statesman, died this morning.
