" 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

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

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

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

feeling prevails in England and also in

A Narrow Escape From a It ear.
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.

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

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

This afternoon Hon. George A. Liebe

sum of a contribution by the citizens of
Astoria, raised by the kind efforts of Mr.
Scherneckau and Hon. C. L. Fulton.

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

contributions of clothing and other arti- i
cles, but announced that much more
was needed, especially womens' and

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.

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.
Farley & Frank . have a tank of ma
chine oil which they offer at cost to
close out as they intend in future to
heved to be caused bv the large ouan
tity on passage to foreign ports at the
present time. 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'

Mrs. John Dickson were married and
after living together a couple of years ob
tained a divorce. 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. The following in

side the greater part of the' time tor
three years, until cured by Chamber
