"Dr." True, the fake tooth carpenter
and bogus mineral salt peddler, who
lately gulled the people of this town to
the tune of about a thousand dollars or
more, while in Pendleton the other day
traded off off his pet monkey for a second-had
watcb. The new owner of the

keeper who placed it among the other
attractions of his whiskey mill.
A curious case, involving the ownei
ship of a child, will come before Judge
Bradshaw as soon as its present custodi
dians have responded to a writ of habeas
corpus by presenting the child in court.
A Japanese and his wife have possession
of the child, and claim to be its parents,
. but the claim is denied by a Chinaman
and his wife, who insist, that thov orpi'to
parents. Both parties are ready to do
any amount of swearing in support of
their claims, and it may take the wisdom
of Solomon to unravel the mystery of
the child's parentage.
Frfcui the Seattle Post-Intelligencer we
learn that our former fellow townsman
C. E. Bayard is one of a number of gen
tlemen who have filed in the auditor's
office, Seattle, articles of incorporation
of the Washington Consolidated Mining
and Milling Company, with a capital
stock of a million dollars. The coni
Pjfty owns gold and silver claims named
tfra Merchants, Buckeye and Ella in the
Sawtooth mountains near Elk City,
Idaho. Mr. Bayard is a member of the
board of trustees. The company has
gold bearing quartz that assays $50 to
the ton and concentrates that essay $250
to $300 to the ion and the prospects are
good for very rich returns.
juess man iwo weefcs ago, in an un
guarded moment, Hon. Bobt Mays
accepted from Jud Fish the present of a
thoroughbred sooner dog. Mr. Mays
sent him out to one of his ranches and
then the trouble began. After the dog
had eaten up about $50 worth of eggs
and chickens, several ax bandies and
gnawed the shaft off a wheelbarrow, an
order was given for his execution which
was duly carried out. Now report has it
that one point Mr. Mays has made up his
his mind and nothing short of an earth
quake or a cyclone will ever move it.
The first man who brings a sooner pup
or a partridge cochin rooster on any foot
of earth owned bv Mr. Mays will have
to lick him if the presenter has to chase
him a mile to catch him. . . I
If any place can beat Wasco county
for big babies it has now a chance to re
port. Thursdays . forenoon, the LSth
inst., the wife of Wensel Pashek of
Lower Fifteen Mile presented her liege
lord with a baby boy weighing 14)
pounds. The mother and child are
doing nicely but report says it will be
some time before the father recovers
from the surprise of finding a boy almost
big enough to do the family chores the
moment he stepped into the world.
Quite an enthusiastic meeting of The
Dalles Republican Club was held last
night when, after the usual routine
business and the passage of a resolution
instructing the executive committee to
secure the vacant rooms over the Chron
icle office for the future meetings of the
club, Editor Michell gave a rousing
speech in favor of a protective tariff and
an honest dollar after which Hon.'-Wi
Lair Hill presented a masterly argument
on behalf of the republican policy pi
protection. Mr. Hill claimed that the
question of good wages, of profitable re
turn for labor lay at the root of the
whole protective system. Destroy pro
tection and you reduce the income of
the toiler to a level with that of the un
der paid labor of Europe. Reduce the
toil of our laborers to a mere struggle
for existence and you sap the foundation
of our free government. A free govern
ment to be successful must have a pros
perous and contented people.
The band boy's ball last night was a
complete success. The attendance was
good, the hall being comfortably filled,
the music by the Bettingen orchestra
was excellent, a very pleasant and en
joyable time was had. Charley Phillips
did himself proud as caller, the venera
ble George Knaggs presided with char
acteristic dignity at the door. Mrs. Al
Varney rendered valuable service at the
piano, while Al himself sawed the "bull"
fiddle' Al Bettingen acted as musical
director while his accomplished father
discoursed classic music on his clarionet
and Dick Fisher made the ambient air
vocal with his silver cornet. A pleasant
feature of the evening and one highly
appreciated was a large basket of button
hole favors for the iadies and gentlemen,
in the form of rose buds and heliotrope
blossoms .furnished from the Mission
garden by Mrs. Al Varney. Dancing
commenced about 9 o'clock und was
kept up vigorously till one when under
the mellow strains of "Home, Sweet
Home," the happy crowd wended their
way to rest and pleasant dreams.
The first steamer that ever plied on the
waters on the Pacific has been lying on
the rocks near the entrance of Vancouver
harbor since August. 1889. Her name is
the Beaver, and she was built in Eng
land in 1835 for the Hudson Bay Com
pany. As she could not possibly nave
carried coal enough to last her from Lon
don to the mouth of the Columbia
River, she was rigged out as a brig and
made voyage under sail in 165 days. 8he
outsailed her consort, a bark, by 22 days
and announced her arrival before the
company's station with a broadside from
her battery of six nine-pound guns.
She made trips up and down the
Columbia River from 1836 until the
Hudson Bay Comyany's charter expired
in 1859, when the Imperial Hydroera
phic Office purchased her for use in ex
ploring the coast of the Pacific. After
many years of this work she was sold,
and her remaining days were spent car
rying ore and supplies and towing logs
until wrecked in a gale in 1889. Efforts
have been made to purchase her and
refit her as she originally appeared, but
all otters were rejected.

The crop of prisoners at the city jail
was larger than usual last night, three
drunks and one victim of impecuniosity
having been pulled in. One drunk paid

The Chronicle office had the honor of
a visit fiom W. L. Freeman, of Lower

thv man who forced open a horse car
belonging to the Union Pacific and
jumped out his horse which the com-
pany was holding for an extra freight
charge after a contract had been entered
into to carry the horse for a specified
sum. Mr. Freeman is the only man in
Wasco county who ever got even
with
the Union Pacific.
The habeas corpus case reported yes
terday, involving the ownership of a
child, which was expected to be tried be
fore Judge Bradshaw, has been settled,
but just how is unknown to even Mr. E.
B. Dufur, the attorney for the plaintiff.
It will be remembered that a Japanese
and his wife had possession of a child
which a Chinaman and his-wife claimed
as theirs. The Japs made a similar
claim for themselves. Hence the writ.
Yesterday afternoon the Chinaman set
tled the accrued costs and withdrew the
suit, but who has possession of the child
we have been unable to learn.
Mrs. Maud Fowler was the happy
recipient of a pleasant surprise party
last evening at her residence in this city.
The Woman's Relief Corps and quite a
number of other ladies met at Mrs.
Patterson's and from there repaired to
Mrs. Fowlers, to the great surprise of
that lady. Twenty-three ladies were
present, but to save space and time I
will omit the names. Sufficient to
say quite an enjoyable time was had in
plaving games and having a general social
time. Light refreshments were served
in the form "of delicious cake and fruit
At the hour of ten the ladies dispersed
to their separate homes all feeling hap
pier for the hours spent in social chat
with one another.
We are permitted to copy the follow
ing extract from a private letter received
a few days ago from Washington and
written by a gentleman well known in
this city and one thoroughly familiar
with what is going on at the capital
"It is no use to hope for an appropri-
etion for a public building at The Dalles.
I have conversed with many democratic
statesmen in the congress and of the
lobby and all appear agreed that the
Holman resolution was not meant for
"bunkum" but was in the line of prac
tical politics and will be adhered to rig
idly and the more particularly so when
the republican state and districts are to
be sufferers. There will be some sort of
showing of fairness in the appropriation
bills for current expenses but no new
works provided fori. Hermann has
been making a gallant fight for relief of
The Dalles in his advocacy of a portage
railroad. No man could have done
more. I doubt whether any other one
could have done so much. I cannot say
what he thinks, but for myself I am
free to' confess I have no hope. Even
with a republican congress it.was .uphill
work. It was fight, fight, fight, for
eyerything had or allowed for our state.
Effort and diplomacy gained all we got
even when all the circumstances were
favorable and so I am of the opinion
now that we need expect nothing what
ever this year; then we snail not De
disappointed."
From the Daily Chronicle, Thursday.

The merry lays of nearly every species

The west bound passenger train, due
here at 6:10 last evening, was five hours
late. The cause of the detention was an
accident in Wyoming, about the partic
ulars of which no inforinaeion could be
obtained. Mum is the word all along
the line with U. P. R. R. employes.
Mr. Hunt, the Cjurt street photo
grapher has presented this office with a
handsome picture of Dalles City taken
from a position directly above the city
reservoir in the pines. It is a very
handsome picture and gives a charming
view of the first city in Eastern Oregon.
Jake Craft has a smile on his face that
extends from ear to ear. Cause why:
his daughter, Mrs. W. R. .Haynes of
i Xansene, on the 23rd instant, presented
j her liusbond with an eleven pound
j daughter. So Jake is a grandpap and
j this is the first grandaughter born to
j Uncle Jake in Haynes family.
It is seldom a concert ticket eurvives
the lapse of time so long as one just
found by George Joles, in the yard of
the Joles residence. No man has any
idea 'where it came from or what
brought it there. It is clean and pre
served and reads as follows: "Concert
and festival at Moody's hall, for the
benefit of the sisters of charity, on Mon
day Evening, May 3rd, 1869. Tickets
one dollar." , How many voices sang at
that concert of 23 years ago are now
hushed in the stillness of the tomb !
A good house greeted the contestants
for the Demorest medal, last night.
After the singing - of a few selections
Mrs. Smith French, in a few well chosen
words explained the origin and objects
of these contests. W. J. Demorest, a
wealthy resident of New York city, con
ceived the idea some few years ago.
The books fronv which the selections
are niade as well as all the medals are
furnished entirely at Mr. Deinorest's
expense. Not less than eight persons
are permitted to enter a contest. In the
present case a silver medal is the re
ward. The victor in this contest will
dropout of the next and transfer the
medal to the winner. After eight per
sons have won tke silver medal they
mav contest tor a gold nieaai on me
same general method. The gold medal
istsmay then contest for a gold diamond
studded medal which is permanently re
tained by the winner.
Ntne young persons had prepared for
the contest last night. One for some
cause dropped out, leaving eight. The
Droeramme already published in the
Chhoniclk was gone through with this
exception. The following are the names
of the contestants: Georgia Sampson,
Lorine Lee, Ruth Fisher, Archie Bar
nett, Pearl Butler, Daisy Alloway, Neddy
Baldwin and Nona Rowe. The prize
was well and ably contested. The only
regret was that each could not have had
a medal. Where all did so well it Was
no wonder the judges took some time to
settle who should have the prize. Fin
ally Judge Hen net t appeared ana an
nounced that the judges had awarded it
to Miss Nona Rowe and Mrs. Smith
French presented it to the young lady in
a short and appropriate speech. The
subject matter of these contests cannot
fail to have a good, moral' effect. The
tendency and object of the contests are
wholly in the interests of sobriety and
temperance'. As such they deserve the
sympathy of every good citizen. Many
will be pleased to learn that another
contest is expected to coiue off in .the
near future.
