" 1 ' A reader of the Eaut Oregonian recently presented its editor with a bottle of per fumery. Now that was a very appropri ate gift. The Heppner Gazette has hoisted its flag for Hon. W. R. Ellis as a candidate for congress from the second congres sional district of Oregon. That The Dalles will yet become the leading city of Eastern Oregon is certain and those who have the grit and patience to stay with it will reap a rich reward. Glacier. Complaints are very justly made that the U. P. steamers plying between Portland and Astoria charge J2.50 for the use of a state room for the six hours day trip. . The people of The Dalles very highly appreciate the generosity of Wasco in generously contributing the sum of $00 to the wants of the sufferers- by the late fire in this city. It is reported that W. S.Ladd and H. W. Corbett, each conditionally offers to give a million to endow a college to be located in Portland under the auspices of the Presbyterian church. Our attention has been called to the omission of the name of our esteemed fellow townsman Mr. P. E. Farrelly from the list of sufferers by the great fire. Mr. Farrelly's loss is $4000 with out a cent of insurance. ' . ' The steamer Baker gave a free excur sion, it is said, to a large number of per sons from the Cascades to The Dalles lost Sunday. This, if true, is an amaz ing sample of Union Pacific generosity, but it smacks considerably of the fluence of the Regulator. A boat load of salmon, weighing twenty pounds each, was sold in Port - Townsend at a cent apiece and the run was so great that the fishermen said .T... they could make big money at that price. One man caught fourteen with a gill net attached to a hoe handle. Mayor Mays had a telegram today from the mayor of Portland asking what heln the people of Portland could ren der to the sufferers by the fire. Mayor Mays answered that contributions would be thankfully received and that our necessities were very considerable Mr. A. S. McAlister and wife returned Sunday from their ranch on the John Day. Mr. McAlister first learned of the disaster that has befallen The Dallesat " Cold Camp, beyond Antelope, and not ' till late did he learn that all his business and household perishables had gone np in the flames. ' The State Insnrance company of Salem, Or., paid all their losses in full last Saturday morning, being the first, we understand, to issue cash checks for their policy holders. Filloon Bros, re ceived $1000, Sam Stroud $900 and Mrs, A. P. Brooks $39. The last amount was for removal expense. The Forepaugh circus that passed through the city Sunday was undoubt edly the biggest thing of the kind that ever struck this town. They stopped here to feed and rest and while they tar ried were visited by hundreds of citizens. They claim to have fifty cars, be tween 300 and 400 horses, and an army of 530 men and it certainly looked as if the claim were well founded. The Regulator made her first trip down the river last Saturday evening. She started at 4 :48 p. m., met the Baker at Memalose island, steamed round her and got back to The Dalles with the Baker about three-quarters of a mile in her wake, making nearly 27 miles in less than two hours. A few gentlemen from the city were on board, and everyone .was delighted with the graceful, easy motion of the vessel. Two men named Cohen from Portland -were arrested Monday charged with larceny of scrap iron from the old John L. Thompson blacksmith shop. The ar rest was made at the instance of Fred - Bold who sold them $40 worth of scrap but who insists that the Cohens took more than was rightfully coming to them. The men had $1200 on their per sons and deposited collateral for their -appearance before the justice court this afternoon. A modest but earnest young Christian lady who was very unwilling to give her name but which is believed to be Miss E. Taylor, last Sunday contributed the sum of $12, her entire month's wages, as a contribution to the building funds of the three churches destroyed by fire, to . be equally divided between them. The young lady has the sincere thanks of the members of the three churches and their earnest prayers for her future temporal and eternal welfare. The contract has already been let for the rebuilding of the burnt stables at the fair grounds and the fair will go on, the people may rely upon it, just the same as if nothing had happened. To show how much the people of The Dalles, not withstanding their adversity, are inter- Osted in the success of the fair, it may be said the citizens have offered sub scriptions to the Fair Association to help them to rebuild the burnt stables, which , iiowever they have respectfully declined, iet the country now get inspired with a OREGON j tending to proOate business. ! u"rattieouukeJive'icet "long" ami t tt Ti,..- n,,f,.- r-.,i, T;i. twelve inches in circumference and hav- of Sherman county and S.

Mr. Bills is much pleased with the prompt and generous action of the company. B. Wolf will give free of rent charge for six months time, any and all of his lots in the East End, to any person who wants to put up a dwelling. At the end of that time the building can be removed or purchased by B. Wolf, as may 1 agreed on. The mayor of Walla Walla telegraphed to Mayor Mays Wednesday, asking him what help was needed here. Mayor Mays replied that contributions would be a few days from the effects, as his physician alleged, of inhaling the deadly fumes of the snake noison. Our informant was then a school girl of the neighborhood, and is now the honored wife 01 Mr. j. 11. Mosier of Mosier in this county. One on the Mayor. A very good joke is told on his honor, Mayor Mays. The day of the big fire he was working like a beaver to save the stock of his store when he saw a large box which he supposed to be his on, the sidewalk in front of Crandall &Burgett's place, which, as our readers know, ad joined the store of Mays & Crowe. In less than a jiffy the big box was hoisted into Mr. Mays' express wagon and was beins carted off with other goods be longing to Mays & Crowe, when the fol lowing dialogue occurred between Mr. Eastwood, the assistant of Crandall & The following diagram is as nearly accurate as can- possibly be obtained.

Hall, John Bonn, The business ot the city has been para lyzed from tho effects of the fire, and the past .week has been taken up in ad justing losses and damages, which is put down at a round million dollars. The insurance companies have been very fair in their settlements, which gives better confidence to our people and withal a progressive spirit. With this issue of our market report, trade is as suming its usual tenor of activity, and a better felling prevails. WHEAT. The wheat market here is inactive ow ing to the depressed reports from our Eastern grain centers. The bears are on top and are using every device to control the bulls and keep them under. The general situation in the old world is somewhat easier as the weather has be come settled in a measure, and an easier feeling prevails in England and also in Scotland.

Mike King, a well known sheep owner of this county had a close call the other night from a bear. Mr. King was camjed with his sheep near what is known as the McClure cabin at the head of Mosier creek and during the night he was waked by a disturbance among the band. Snatching up his rifle he ran out into the night, and seeing, in the dark ness, what he took to be a bear he fired. Mr. King's dog then took after the ani mal and drove it into the brush. Sup posing the bear had been killed Mr. King went to the brush and began part ing it with his hands when he actually ran One of them into the mouth of the wounded animal. The beast then struck King a vicious blow on the thigh tearing away a strip of flesh about two inches wide. King's hand was badly mashed but his partner came to his aid and suc ceeded in dispatching the bear. " New from Mosier. Mosren, Or., Sept. 8, 1891. Editor of tlie Chronicle: Items in Mosier seem to be rather scarce this week. Farmers are busy taking care of their fall fruit. We had a shower of rain Sunday morn ing ; enough to settle the oust a little. Mosier grange had a very pleasant meeting last .1 nday, Have taken in several new members in the first and second degrees and have several more to come 111 soon. Mr. Rush Sellinger came home Satur day 'evening, returning to Bridal Veil 011 Sunday where he is at-work. Mr. W. Easterbrook paid Mosier a visit Sunday, He was inquiring after his uncle Mr. James Easterbrook, who is now in Massachusetts. M. G. . 1, the M. E. Church; 2, the Congregational saved ; 4, Ad Keller's residence, saved. Church: 3, passenger depot, thankfully received and that our neces sities were very considerable. Our old friend Oliver H. Cole is again in the tity. adjusting the losses of that reliable corporation, the Liverpool, Lon don & Globe Insurance Co. .His fre quent visits here have made him fa miliar to many of our citizens, and es pecially so to the policy holders of that company, as his settlements have al ways reflected not only credit to him but to the company and its resident rep resentative. When the walls of the Vogt block fell outward at the great fire, two pieces of ornamental iron from the cornice were thrown through the heavy plate glass of the windows of McFarlwnd & French's store to a distance of perhaps twenty feet. One of these lodged in a show case breaking its way through the glass, and the other lodged on the counter, and, as it must have been red hot, it so melted the varnish that when it cooled off it remained stuck to the couuter as if glued there. The secretary of the relief committee, acknowledges the receipts of the follow ing cash subscriptions : " From F. A. McDonald and Mrs. Baldwin of Seattle $31. Eroin C. W. Fulton and A. S. Sherneckau and committee of Astoria $212, and from Forepaughs circus $50. Outside subscriptions are thankfully re ceived and appreciated but will not be used until it is demonstrated that our citizens cannot take care of the sufferers. The committee soliciting aid in the way of clothing and supplies are meet ing with gratifying success and offers of vegetables and produce are being re ceived from farmers in our vicinity, all having any article to contribute will con fer a favor on the committee by leaving the same in the county court room. The secretary requests that all members of the relief committee be present at the meeting tomorrow evening. The last mail brought a subscription of $60. from V. C. Brock contributed by the cit izens of Wa6co county. Alfred Ganger field Up. Alfred Ganger, who lives near Crate's Point, left this city last week to take his sister, Mrs. Ike Moore, to her home in Prineville. On his way back, and when about twenty-five miles south of Bake Oven on the Prineville road, Alfred was held tip by two men, one of whom held his horses while the other rifled his pockets. Fortunately the robbers got nothing, as what money Alfred had was concealed in a small pocket in the lining of his coat which the thieves entirely overlooked. Burgett, and the mayor: Eastwood, "What are you taking that box away for?" The mayor, "Because it's mine." Eastwood, "It ain't yours; it's ours." Mayor, "You're mistaken, man; it's ours. It's a copper bath tub." East wood, "It's nothing of the kind. Don't you see our name on the box? It's a coffin!"- It is hardly necessary to add that Eastwood got the box. ICeport of the Relief Committee. The meeting of he relief committee called for Thursday evening, was held in the circuit court room. The chairman, after calling the meet ing to order, reported the following cash subscriptions received by him : W. If. Wilson 2.- 00 J. A. Varney 10 00 Astoria 213 35 J. P. Lucas (Condon) 10 00 Mrs. O'Leary 10 00 The secretary reported having re ceived the following : Catholic Society 1100 00 J. W. Lewis 25 00 T. 8. Lnna- 25 00 J. It. Wallace 2 50 Edward Pease 6 00 F. A. McDonald and family 20 00 Mrs. Baldwin 5 00 Hon. Ed. Hirsch (Salem) 20 00 asco mi uu All these subscriptions were reported as entirely voluntary and unsolicited and those from the city were being used in purchasing provisions and necessary articles for the needy. The investigat ing committee reported that some thirty- eight families has been brought to their notice or found by a diligent search, who needed help. Sixteen of these had left town or declined help ; eleven were families of men who were at work and needed clothing for women and children, household furniture and food for a short The men declined assistance Astoria to the Front. This afternoon Hon. George A. Liebe received a check for $213.25, signed A. Scherneckau of Astoria, which is the sum of a contribution by the citizens of Astoria, raised by the kind efforts of Mr. Scherneckau and Hon. C. L. Fulton. This is very kind of our friends in As toria and it will be long and gratefully remembered by the people of The Dalles. time only of any kind for themselves ; five were in the hands of different religious societies of which they were members and were being cared for ; six were widows famil ies and would need considerable assistance. These facts being submitted and the exact stale of affairs being shown, it was suggested that a committee be ap pointed to solicit subscriptions in the city. This was not thought advisable before, as the amount necessary was merely conjectural. Mr. Mclnerny and Mr. Schano were appointed on this com mittee. The committee on investigation and distribution reported their duties as onerous and asked for an enlargement of the committee. . Mr. George Liebe was added to their number. The committee receiving supplies ac knowledged having received liberal contributions of clothing and other arti- i cles, but announced that much more was needed, especially womens' and children's underwear. The meeting then adjonrned. Good New From 1'ortland. Portland, Sept. 10. We send by tele graph $1000 for the benefit of the suf ferers. More to follow. W. S. Mason, Mayor. The world's fair property will be coy ered by $300,000,000 insurance. Another Card of Thanks. The board of directors of school dis trict Xo. 12, desire on their own behalf and on behalf of all the taxpayers and patrons of the district to publicly ex press their thanks to the principal, Prof. M. W. Smith, all tho teachers and the janitor, Mr. Wm. Glasius of the public school, for the persistent and heroic fight they made on Wednesday, Septem ber 2, to save the high school building from destruction, and we are confident that it was only through their efforts that the building was saved. H. M. Beali., S. B. Adams, O. Kinersly, Directors. A False ltuinor Corrected. To Whom it may Concern: It having been enrrently reported that Dr. O. D. Donne had taken advantage of the fire to raise my rent, it is only just to him to state that the house was much larger than needed for my small family and that I myself proposed to Dr. Doane that he should rent such part of the house as I did not use to other parties, Under the present arrangement he re ceives an additional rent of five dollars per month which comes from other ten ants, ana the rent ot the part 1 occupy has not been increased. F. W. Bold. Mr. and Mrs. T. W. Sparks visited this city last Sunday to see for them selves the desolation wrought by the great fire. They remarked to the writer that neither they nor the people of Port land had any conception of the extent of the destruction of property. Today a kindly sy in patltetic letter was received by Mrs. Hugh Gourlay informing her that Mrs. Sparks had shipped to her ad dress a box of clothing for those who were in need. The box will be placed, on its arrival, in the hands of the relief committee. The Chronicle congratulates Signal Service Observer B. S. Pague on the fact of an addition to his family of a boy, which he has christened Donald Mitchell Pague. May the lad's voyage through life be blessed with "fair weather" and "cloudless skies" and may he never be called upon to "observe" from the stand point of practical experience any of the "storihs" and "cyclones" that so- often make np the sum of human existence. .. r. : : . : French & Co. received a telegram from' Mr. and Mrs' J. 'H. Sherar, datejl Nicholsville, N.' Y, It read as follows : "One hundred dollars for relief if necessary. Charge to ine.- Our heart' felt sympathy to citizens. J. H. Sherar.'" This is so characteristic of Mr. and Mrs, Sherar that we can pay them no higher compliment than to say, "It is exactly like them." May a shadow never cross their path. During and since the fire seven births have occurred among those who were its victims. A number of persons are now suffering from pneumonia and some are afflicted with measles. The relief com mittee is doing everything in it power to meet the needs of the sufferers but a great deal of suffering will never be known. A Word to Ladles. Ladies who desire a beautiful, clear skin, free from pimples, boils, blotches and other erupttons, should commence at once to use Dr. Gunn's Improved Liver Pills. They will also remove that heavy look about your eyes and make them bright, and will cure headache from whatever cause it arises. Remem ber, von are only required to take one small pill at bed time, which is coated with pure sugar and will not gripe or produce any unpleasant sensation. Sold at 25 cents by Blakeley & Houghton's.

The agricultural statistic al reports have not been materially changed and the great difficulty in the world's breadstuff's is considered an un doubted fact, which must cause a firm and better market before another harvest can be made available. We understand a large portion of the wheat of Eastern Oregpn and Washington has passed into the hands of shippers and that those that 'have not sold are holding for higher prices. The condition of the wheat of western Eastern Oregon will . only be classed, as a rule, as No. 2, although there is some that will pass as No. 1 Our market is a bit off from last week' report.

A few months later John married a fascinating widow. Mrs. Dickson followed suit with a wid ower, and two weeks later she was Mrs. Thompson. Mrs. Dickson No. 2 lived only a year or so, and after her death Dickson made overtures to his former wife, who repented and deserted her second husband and came with Dickson to Alabama. They located in Anniston in 18S3, and had only been living here a few months when they again separated and were divorced. Both married again, Dickson taking a young girl not then out of her teens, "in the summer of 1886 Mrs. Dickson was married to a Mr. Baker. Last year Baker died, and again Dickson and the much-married woman made up, but to get Dickson's wife out of the way was the question. For several weeks they puzzled over it, and planned to no effect. Finally the opportunity came. Trumped-up charges were brought against her, and so plain a case did they make against the unoffending girl that Dickson was again divorced. The decree was made last spring, and a few.days ago Dickson and Mrs. Baker were married for the third time. How long they will live to gether now no one can tell. Unnecessary Sufferings. There is little doubt but that many persons suffer for years with ailments that could easily be cured by the use of some simple remedy.
