OUR "KID'S" FOURTH OF JULY.
We pot him to bed in his little, nightgown,
The wont battered youngster there iu In the
town;
Yet he acid aa he opened his only well eye,
Ba, ri, tor the Jolly old Fourth of July!
i
Two thumbs and eight fingers with lint were
tied up.
-Ob his head was Vimp like an upside down
cup.
And his smile was distorted, his nose all awry,
From the Jojrs of the glorious Fourth of July.
We wereglsd; he had. started abroad with the
sun.
And all day had 11 red in the powder and fun;
While the boom of the cannon roared up to the
sky. V
' To salute Young America's Fourth of July.
' I said we were glad all the pieces were there.
As we plastered and bound them with tenderest
ears,
But out of the wreck eame the words, with a
sigh,
"If tomorrow was only the Fourth of July!"
He will draw altogether again, nerer fear,
And be ready to celebrate freedom next year;
Meanwhile all his friends are most thankful
there lies.
A eraekerleas twelTemontfa twizt Fourth of
Julys.
We kissed him good night on his powder specked
face,
We laid his bruised hands softly down In their
place,
And he murmured, as sleep closed his one open
-I wish every day was the Fourth of July!"

Mr. " John . Caraghar. a merchant
Editor Chbonicli: The citizens
The Dalles have again incurred the
odium of the people from the surround
ing country. The citizens welcomed
here to witness the celebration of the
4th went away disgusted because they
did not see the promised "sham battle'
which was to be the drawing card of the
day. For this reason the country peo
pie and visitors unite in one voice con
demning our people and the committee
of arrangements for this omission from
the published order of exercises. I my
self at my place of business have heard
farmers who are my best customers say
that they thought they were imposed
upon and lured into The Dalles by the
false promises of the 4th of July com
mittee.' Some of the same people came
into the city for no other purpose than
to view the sham battle and they wish
to know why the battle did not take
place as advertised on every barn door
door and fence in Eastern Oregon
Now I think, as far as I know, that
is wrong to censure the merchants
our city for the failure of the battle to
take place, because they subscribed lib
erally for the celebration. The blame
should be placed where it belongs, not
on the people of The Dalles but either
on the committee of arrangements or on
the officers of the 3d regiment. These
parties should make some explanation
to the visitors.
I have another grievance. Why did
not the proce8sson go through the streets
mentioned on the programme? Whose
fault is this? I spent a few hours dec
orating my business house on Second
street bat the procession did not come
near me and avoided one of the best
business blocks in the city.
As a tax payer and subscriber to the
celebration fund I would like to know
why oar wishes were not carried oat,
An explanation should be given either
by the committee or by the officers of
the militia. Merchant.

A fire, started Thursday between
nine xnd-ten o'clock cansed by a lamp
explosion in the. building between W

- The Cbbonicm notices with regret
that Judge Thornbury is losing bis grip
at the "fishing business. Dan. Butler
used 'to tell "the writer that' the judge
' could -catch fish "where the ground was
only Bttle-'wetj but the -'record shows
that Mr. Burgett, who is only an ap
prentice at the business, beat the judge
by 74 fish. The Chboniclx noticed to
day that the judge has an awfully red
nose. Is it possible that there is any
connection between a red nose and a de
cline' of 'fishing ability? 'Do the waters
' of Trout Creek paint peoples' noses red?

The "Sham" pagne Battle.
By what process of reasoning can it be
argued that while no beer could be al
lowed in camp for the men that officers
could have what champagne they desired
at the Colonel's tent? We would like to
know if the officers of the O. N. G. are any
better than the men who carry the guns
in the ranks? The men who walked
through the dust and heat of Saturday
were the peers of those who rode on
horse-back and were clothed in a little
brief authority, and in very many in
stances the men in the ranks, as far as
brains and ability were concerned stood
head and shoulders above their com
manders. And yet champagne was
none too good for the officers' mess. It
is against army regulations to have,
liquor in camp and had there been no
champagne at headquarters no looting
of the same would have occurred. ' Any
thing that was good enough for the staff
was good enough for the boys (and they
got it too). We do not think that the
officers' mess should "kick" at the loss
of that four dozen of champagne. The
boys were in for fan and the wine was
taken in sport and that was all there
was of it. The men tin t took the wine
were not drunkards and did not care
for the liquor, we ' are sure. But the
wine should not have been there and
then the trouble would not have oc
curred. If there is any court martial
growing out of the affair the officers
"should be in it" as well as the men
If the staff could not entertain their
visitors without the use of wines and
liquors then their intelligence was not
above par, and if they could not get
along for six days without liquor as well
as their men, then they were not fit to
command. It was a disgraceful piece of
business, allowing the champagne in
camp,and if there is any means of reach
ing and punishing the officers that kept
it there we hope these means will be
used. If there be no means, so much the
worse for the Third regiment.
On the afternoon of the 4tb inst. the
successful competitors in the athletic
sports held by the third regiment assem
bled in Lieutenant Norton's rooms to re
ceive their prizes. The lieutenant made
a charming address in which he reviewed
the events of the week mentioning es
pecially their value as a precedent to fa-
tore encampments. To each of the win
ners he made a few appropriate and
graceful remarks. The boys appeared
to be more than pleased as well as satis
fied that every reasonable effort had
been made for their comfort and enjoy
ment. Before leaving they gave the
lieutenant three cheers and a rousing
tiger.

From Friday's Daily.
Only three companies entered for com
petitive drill. These were C company
of The Dalles, D company of Hood
River, and K company of LaGrande.
At the close of the drill a protest was
entered against C company for having a
man in their ranks who belonged to A
company and who had not been prop
erly transferred. The protest having
been sustained by the officers, C com
pany was ruled out and the regimental
plate was awarded to D company of
Hood River. The following is the score :
C company, 62 per cent. ; D company,
53 per cent. ; K company, 40 per cent,
In the 440 yards race the second, third
and fourth heats were ran off and Priv
ate Rvan of F company, Private L. D,
Estes of B company, and Private Mc
Curry of K company were the- respect
ive winners.
Company D of Hood River has been
declared the winner of the challenge
plate in the competitive drill, yesterday,
We congratulate the Hood River boys
on their success, and we prophesy that
it will take hard work between this and
the next annual encampment for any
other company to get possession of it.
Some fifteen or twenty of the boys were
put in the guard-room yesterday for
trespassing in a field of oats on their
way back from bathing in the Columbia.
As no intentional wrong was committed
the judge of the field court promptly dis
charged them.
The Chbonicxe today beard a gen'
tleman from Portland, who is taking in
the pleasures (?) of camp life at Camp
Chenoweth, seriously advise the dram
major to by no means take a bath till
the camp is over. He said, "Look at
me. I took a bath yesterday. I had to
use a jack plane to scrape the dirt off me ;
but I got it off and now I look like a
bean pole and my clothes are as loose as
those of a scare crow."
Ordinance Sargeant Fritz, had his feel
ings badly lacerated yesterday morning.
Adjutant Haworth gave him an order
which read as follows : "The ordinance
sergeant is hereby detailed for duty in
the First Infantry band for the day,
and willreport at their quarters at guard
mount and at batallion drill.
By order of Col. Houghton
J. F. Haworth, First Lieut, and Adgt,
Visions of a trip to Portland with Us
accompanying pleasures were rudely
dashed to the ground when the sergeant
discovered that it was to the Third regi
ment he was to report and not the First.
The Choniclx made a slight mistake
the other day when it said that company
E contributed to the furnishing of a
horse for Major Lucas. The facts are
company J generously onered to con
tribute, but company H as generously
refused to allow any one to contribute a
dollar but themselves. They have a fine
sense of honor, these cow-boys have, and
finer lot of all round manly, generous
material out of which to make soldiers
does not exist anywhere.
Company A desires, through the
Chronicle, to thank C. E. Haight the
restaurant man, for a box of fine cigars,
Now while this thing is in fashion if
somebody would give the Chronicle a
chance to do some thanking on its own
account, of a nature similar to the above,
we would do it op in great shape.
A pleasing incident of yesterday's
camp life was a picnic given by a num
ber of Dalles ladies to the officers of the
third regiment followed by an informal
officer's reception of their entertainers
at the officers quarters. The following
ladies took part in the entertainment
Mrs. Patterson,- Mrs. Barret, Mrs.
Fish, Mrs. Crowe, Mrs. Houghtoa, Mrs.
Hollister, Mrs. Lewis, Mrs. Sampson,
Miss Lang, Miss Bessie Lang, Miss
Michel!, Miss Rose Michel 1, Miss An
nette Michell, Miss Ursula Ruch, Miss
Louise Ruch, Miss Maie Williams, Miss
Virginia Harden, Miss Florence Lewis,
and Miss Matilda Hollister.
It is admitted on all hands that
company if the best drilled company
of the whole regiment. That D com pany
any other company, shonld have
carried off the challenge plate is ac
counted for solely by the vital mistake
of transferring a man from A company
to C company in the .field without due
authority. Just who was to blame for
this error, is not for as to say, but we
do - say that if the thing was done
through an intention to compete for the
plate by means of fraud and deception,
said: "1 am able to impart to you the
joyful news that yesterday evening the
dreibund was renewed : for a further
period of six years. Peace is thus as
sured for a long time." This would pre
sent a very fine prospect, so far
Europe is concerned, were it not for the
well known fact that a hundred contin
gencies may arise at any time, any one
of which might make war inevitable.
In fact dispatches from Europe, of the
same date inform us that it is the opin
ion of some that unless France and Rus
sia soon reply to the treaty, by conclud
ing a formal alliance, the central powers
of Europe will become too confident, as
to the impotency of their adversaries, to
enable the latter - to counteract their
ambitious designs and they will, conse
quently, bring about events which will
render a European war inevitable. So
much for the boasted peace of the young
emperor.

The Fire Not Under Control.
San Rafael, Cal., July 3. The Tam

and it is feared that the residence por

Yocngstown, O., July 3. Nineteen
passengers were killed and burned to
cinders at 3 o'clock this morning by a
freight train telescoping a passenger
train on the Erie railroad at Revenue,
forty miles west of here. . Thirty-eight
or forty were injured.
The passenger train was standing at
the depot when the freight train struck
it. Two sleeping cars and day coaches
took fire and weie quickly destroyed.
The train was bound for New York and
was heavily loaded with passengers
going to spend the 4th with friends.
A special train was sent from here
with surgeons and nurses to care for the
wounded.
The fire spread rapidly and it was im
possible to rescue many of the injured
and they were cremated in the wreck.
The accident in loss of life and prop
erty is the 'most extensive ever suffered
by the Erie railroad.
The day coach contained a party from
Findiay coming here to spend the 4th.
Many of the passengers on. the train
were asleep when an awful crash came
and a number were crushed to death in
their berths. A terrible scene followed.
There were cries for help from all parts
of the train mingled with dying moans
of others whose lives were being crushed
out.
Soon the wreck caught fire and the
flames crowded upon those who were
held fast in the debris. In several in
stances, persons were slowly burned to
death while pleading with their last
breath for help which could not be ren
dered.
The fire was finally extinguished but
not until several persons had perished.
Some were so badly disfigured that it
will be a difficult task to identify them.
The coroner will begin an inquest this
afternoon. The company officials will
render all assistance possible and will
make a most complete investigation.
It would appear the whole accident
was due to the carelessness of some one
in leaving a switch open. The heavy
freight train was running at the rate of
forty miles an hour and it struck the
passenger train with full force.

The Itata In San Diego. .
San Diego, July 6. Nothing new has
developed in regard to the Itata.
Though she has been here two days
nothing has been beard from United
States Marshal Gard or District Attorney
Cole, who are at Los Angeles. The ves
sel at present is in charge of Collector
Berry who holds her for violating the
navigation laws in leaving port without
clearance papers.
The itata will, plead guilty to this
charge and pay ber fine, as to charge
of violating neutrality laws under which
the Itata was first arrested and for
which she was brought back by the
Charleston. Delay in taking action
exhibited by the government officials at
Los Angeles is occasioning considerable
comment. Not a word has been re
ceived from them. Opinions are ex
pressed by many lawyers of this city
that the delay is caused by the realiza
tion of the fact by the authorities at
Washington that the charge will not
hold.
