-From the Daily Chronicle, Monday.
,. John Doe was arrested last Saturday
for crnelty to animals, and fined $5 and
. cost. Mr. tkte has an idea that he is a
high grade cow hoy and, having pro
- cured a wild cow, or rather a cow made
wild-bv abuse, he abused his poor horse
intfthibitingallesed feats of skilL with
the lariat.,
. Mr. and Mrs. Phelps, at Collins land-
' inc. have prepared to entertain a nam
ber of people at the famous hot springs
in that vicinity. They were seen at the
landing yesterday, and appear to be en
. joying their new surroundings with i
: degree of contentnfent which bring all
: the Injuries of comfort.
On Union street, between Fourth and
Vift.li streets, the basement walls of Sir,
. ,
Will Condon's residence, ail that was

L-' have been converted into a pond, in
which are growing some beautiful hilies,
. and the frogs making their home ih the
artificial pond, sing merry songs of an
evening. .
; The new ' ordinance passed by the
council Saturday night, fixing the salar
ies of recorder, marshal, city attorney
and treasures will go into effect after the
. coming city election. Under it the
recorder and marshal . will have $100 a
month, and the treasurer and attorney
: $25 a month. The ordinance has cut
. down the salaries of the last two offices
'- one-half.
? Isaac Joles. W. If. Steel and four
others, who have been prospecting for
placers in Grant county for nearly two
months, returned home- yesterday.
They report having discovered placers
' that they worked for a test, for fourteen
days, with a result that was entirely
satisfactory to themselves. They intend
to return imediately after harvest, and
dig a ditch and make all necessary prc-
parations for work next spring.
One of the important industries of The
Dalles, that deserves the encouragement
- of the business com unity of the Inland
Empire, is the East End trunk factory.
Industries like these help to keep money
in the state. This firm manufactures all
their trunks, and goods of their make
, excel the greater part of trunks imported
t from the east. The factory is prepared
to make any kind of trunks to order,
likewise repairing. They have the lar-
nest and best variety in the state.
Yesterday was a gorgeous one for an
' excursion on the middle Columbia, and
' as the steamer's prow turned liomeward
at 2 p. m., from the Cascades, there Was
not breeze enough to ruffle the water,
T and the cloud of smoke and steam as
cended straight heavenward, rendering
- any part of the boat comfortable. Capt.
McNnlty appeared also to be in his best
mood, if such times ever occur to the
genial Commodore, and everybody in
. the party was delighted with the trip.
The Regulator will make another, simi
lar trip, on Sunday next.
' It mav be none of the business of The
Chronicle, nevertheless, notwithstand-
ing, it is an opinion' pretty freely shared
that consolidation will not save a broad
' division in Multnomah affairs if Albina
is hoodoed out of a free bridge. That
the people down there keep moving, and
show no signs of discouragement, is pos-
itive proof of earnestness. On Saturday

names appended, addressed to the secre
tary of war, in which it is recited that
the proposed free bridge would benefit
one-fourth of the people of Portland,
and that it would be no material obetruc-
tion to the navigation of the river. Thir
ty-five other petitions of similar import
still out,' will swell the number of signa
tures to 20,000.
Judge Thornbury, and Messrs. Schano,
, Burgett and Haight left yesterday for
their annual pilgrimage to the shrine of
Isaac Walton" on Trout lake, Klikitat
county. ..They were accompanied as far
- as White salmon by about half a. hun
dred friends, ladies and gentlemen, all
of whom were heard to express regrets
- that they could not go on to the lake,
.. At white salmon the outfit of the judge
4nd his party comprising a team, a saddle
, horse, and a well stocked department
of saplies ; left the Regulator and took
to the bills amidst the cheers and kindly
wishes of all on board, separating Signals
, flying upon, both land and water until
, each receded from thesieht of the other,
Look out for the trout Thursday night.
Out at the East End a few evenings
eye
pee a representative of The Chronicle
saw several , striking illustrations of the
mulishness of horses. There were two
balkey horses that required half a dozen
men to start them. There have been
some barbarously cruel methods resorted
to to make a balky horse go its way, any
of which might be avoided, said a good
horseman, , by taking the front foot at
the fetlock and bending the leg at the
- knee joint. Hold it thus for three min
utes, then' let it down and the horse
will go. The only way to "account for
- this effective mastery is that the horse
- can think of only one, thing at a time,
and having, made np his mind not to go,
the "bending of the leg takes the mind
from the original thought. It is worth a
trial. '
. From the Daily Chronicle, Tuesday.
Phil Brogan Sen. of Antelope, ia at the
Umatilla house. . - '
The Missoula river. is higher this week
than for five years past.
It never helps us to walk any straight
er to watch another man's feet.
George Nolin, of Dufur, paid the
Chronicle a pleasant visit today. .
Mrs. Frank Dekum of Portland, is the
guest of Mrs. S. L. Brooks this week.

The Chbokicwc acknowledges . the
z urtesy of a visit today from Hampton

There is now a wall-paper trust with
some very large and allurieg figures
worked into its make-op.
Mrs. P. M. 8. Briggs will remain in
Washington for some time, visiting rela
tives and friends in Chehalis county.
The momentous question in denio
eMiic politics now is, who's to control in
Chicago on Tuesday next?
The Chronicle is indebted to the
courtesy of Hon. Binger Hermann for
Valuable documents received.
' D. W. Aldridge has retired from
editorship of the Prineville News. His
successor is F. E. Wilmarth.
It is said there are ten candidates for
the office of city marshal. The city
ought to be able to select a good one
from that number.
A resident of the East End thinks that
as "a little water now and then is enjoyed
by the best of men" the streets of that
portion of the city should be sprinkled.
Capt. Fred Wilson, late of the Regu
lator, came up from Portland to make
the run today to the cascades, with the
steamer E. D. Baker. He is looking as
fine as a fiddle.
The moonlight excursion last night
was highly enjoyed by a large number
of persons, mostly young people, who
returned to the city at midnight after a
very pleasant trip.
Higher, higher etill, the Columbia is
spreading itself here, and all along. The
Snake has taken another boom, and de
bouched the additional rise of nine inch
es into the Columbia yesterday. .
The state department is officially ad-
vistd of the conclusion of a treaty of
commercial reciprocity between Austria,
Hunearv and the U. States, under the
the provisions of the McKinley law.
. The value of the first four months of
exports of merchandise from this coun
try this year, was $141,723,243 more
than it was for the same four months of
the previous year.. Was McKinley tar-
ltt a factor?
Ryland's Iron Trade Circulor London,
for May 26 says : that it is the decision
of several large tin Manuf. Co's. to re
move their machinery immediately to
the United States in consequence of
the McKinley tariff law.
C. W. Adams, the artistic shoemaker ,
will open up by the end of the week, at
60 Second street, with a new and com
plete shoemaking outfit. Mr. Adams
will be better fitted than ever to make
and repair all kinds of boots and shoes.
The eleventh annual commencement
of Wasco Independent Academy will be
held at the court house Thursday, June
16. The exercises will begin promptly
at 8 o'clock p. m. Patrons and friends of
the academy are cordially invited to be
present.
The fame of the St. Charles hotel,
says a Portland paper, is by far too great
to reqnire extended praise, either of the
house or its proprietor, Mr. Charles W.
Knowles. The St. Charles is the favor
ite resort in Portland for residents of the
Inland Empire. It is a place where ev
ery guest is made to feel at home.
The Fourth of July committee were in
session some time this forenoon, and the
meeting adjourned to Campbells' par
lors, where they cooled the temperature
of their ardent patriotic fervor in sooth
ing plates of strawberries and ice cream
at the invitation of. No you don't, no
divulging the business of the meeting.
The price of horses of a -certain class,
very small, or medium sized ones in
Eastern Oregon, may be judged from the
fact that A. M. Kelsey of Antelope was
offered a few days ago, 36 head, mostly
mares,' for $140. He did not buy them
and as far as he knows they are not sold
yet. There is absolutely no market for
small horses.
W. B. Perry of Hood River, passed
through the city ' today on his way to
Butte, Mont. Mr. Perrv is handling the
majority of the strawberry ship
ments from Hood River, and he in
formed a Chronicle representative that
they will foot up fully $25,000 for the
season. The bulk of the shipments is
over but there will be .: strawberries in
the 'market till near the first of Jul v.
The steamer E. D. Baker left today for
the upper cascades to bring the old O. R.
N. wharf boat to The Dalles, if she will
hold together well enough to make the
trip. Once here she will be beached,
and when the water goes down a new
hull will be built up under the old house
and the railroad company will have
another elephant on its hande.
It will be only consistency for congress
men favoring economy to" refuse tha
appropriations demanded in the summer
resort biljs which will be introduced into
thier Jiotel rooms early next fall.
The old pioneer steamship of the Pa
cific, the first to turn a paddle in this
Ocean, 56- years ago, went to pieces of
old age in Victoria harbor yesterday oc
casioned by the swell of the passing str,
Yosemite. Anv who have ever seen the
Beaver will respond to the
"Good bye, venerable relic; well have
you performed your duty in your day
As Hon. Robert Mays was passing up
Second street this forenoon with a hand
full of greenbacks, exposed to view, he
was collared,' and walked along quite a
distance at a lively pace, before he could
break away from the five or six men who
grabbed him. No arrests were made, as
it proved to be a division of the Fourth
of July committee, and Mr. Mays, like
other patriotic citizensj stands in with
the committee. . Y
The Pacific Express Co., are now using
a horse that with only a little training,
bids fair to be able to kick the end-gate
off the express wagon. He gave an ex
hibition of his skill this forenoon in
front of the postoffice and by the time
he was through the driver, Harley- An
drews had moved behind the scat, while
his father O. S. Andrews, had been prac
tically kicked behind it, receiving a pain
full gash on one of his shins. - The foot
board, too, . which is strongly braced
with iron bands and straps was broken
and twisted, and it is safe to say, if it
had been situated ten feet above the
'horses hind quarters it would in all
probability, have been broken into
splinters.
Henry Sonshiue, an old and well
known resident of The Dalles, was found
dead this morning at the residence of
Mr. Matthias in the Garrison addition.
Mr. Sonshine was about 71 years of age.
He has been living alone since Mr.
Matthias went to Europe and suffered
from a severe cough ever since last fall.
Last night he was worse than usual but
refused to allowed a doctor to be called
in. This morning his neighbor, John
Kaseberger visited the residence to see
how he had passed the night, when he
found him in a reclining posture in the
bed with every indication that he had
died from hew morn ge of the lungs. ' An
inquest was held on the remains this
afternoon but the verdict had not been
returned at the time of going to press.
From the evidence produced by Mr.
Kaseberger as well as the testirao'ng of
Dr. Doane, there can be no doubt Mr.
Sonshine came to his death from natural
causes.
From the Daily Chronicle, Wednesday. -T.
J. Driver of Wainic, is in the city.
Hon. J. F. Caples is to deliver the 4th
of July oration in Pendleton.
The prospects in the United States fa
vor a better price for wheat next fall.

'six feet above the roof of the Cosmopoli
tan hotel, today.
Messrs. Thornbury, Schanno, Haight,
and Burget, are expected home from
their Trout lake outing, to-morrow eve
ning by steamer -Regulator.
N. A. Boyer has started on the foun
dation of a handsome new cottage, on
the lot immediately east of the cottage
just erected by Joles. Brothera on Fulton
street. ', . ,
A. C. Sanford has just returned from
a ' visit to Wapinitia and the Warm
spring agency. He reports a new $12,
000 Mission church in course of erection
at Sinnemasho.
The editor of the Chronicle acknowl-t
edges the courtesy of an invitation to
attend the commencement exercises of
St. Mary's Academy, to be held on Fri
day the 17th inst., at 10 a. m.
A cynical citizen informs the Chroni
cle that the only man in town who is
not a candidate for city marshal is
George Banyan and that George is sus
pected of being a dark horse.
Senator Dolph is much concerned a
bout the boat railway amendment. . The
conference committee has been in session
almost continuously, this week, and is
having a hard contest over every Oregon
amendment. - ' . ,
Kraker & Niva, of Centerville, palled
out of the city today one of Russell &
Co.'s elegant 13-horse traction engines,
self steering, and fitted with all' modern
appliances. After, crossing the ferry,
the engine was steamed op to work its
way over the hills in the famous Klick
itat valley, where an abundant harvest
awaits its coming.
Senator Reed, of Astoria, arrived here
last night, and 'after transacting -some
important business relating to fisheries,
passed on today for Canyon city, via Ba
ker, aceonipiinied from here by Capt. J.
W. Lewis, of The Dalles United States
land office, who has business in Canyon
city on Saturday. ", '
R. A. LaughHn and Lou Kelly of
Wapinitia, arrived in town this morn
ing with 46 head, of beef cattle which
they sold to Woods Brothers. The
price, we understand, was 24 cents per
pound steers, and 2 cents for"cowe.
Dr. Cardwell," president of the state
board of horticulture, is credited with
having said that he did not believe that
there would be a car load of dried prunes
shipped out of the Willamette valley,
from this years crop, this season.
. Remember the mass meeting tonight,
for the purpose of selecting candidates
to be voted for in the coining city elec
tion. A largo meeting is expected. If
it be found that the candidates are too
numerous to fill the court room, the
meeting will be held outside.
The coming city election is provoking
lots of fun for the boys. A number of
them .have issued tickets announcing
their candidacy for city marshal, just
for the fan of the thing. It is even said
that a Chinaman on Front street has
issued 500 tickets of this character.
As showing the business done by
trains in The Dalles, a- gentleman in
forms us that by actual count there was
upon the road at one time last Monday,
between this city and the top of Sherars'
grade, no less than sixty-fonr wagons,
drawn by 160 pairs (320 beady of horses.
The day following thirty teams arrived
in the city with wool.
The Chronicle has a large list of ex
changes ia its reading room, which are
open for the inspection of patrons, that
they may judgeof the merits of their
home paper in comparison with some
that are published elsewhere in the Pa
cific northwest. The Chronicle-furnishes
inore,bona fide local news daily than
any other paper published in the state,
outside the Oregonian office.
It is estimated that about half the
wool dip of this section has arrived at
the warehouses and that the whole will
fully aggregate six million pounds. . At
an average of 15 cents a pound this one
industry will distribute throughout the
district the handsome sum of $900,000.
That beats all hollow the sending of that
amount of money out of the country for
Springer's free wool..
The Astoria papers have all adopted
the six-column folio style for their daily
editions. , They look ever so much nicer.
Before this change their appearance' was
very similar to that of the hen that en
deavored to cover seven dozen eggs at a
sitting, and each column to any one
page represented a dozen spoilt eggs
which might have produced profit to the
consumer under the ordinary rules gov
erning incubation. .
Very discouraging reports reach us
from Sherman county. A .month ago,
and the crop' prospects were never
brighter. Now thousands of acres are
withered and ruined beyond the power
of all the water in Great Neptune's ocean
to revive. Wheat is worse burned in
the Grass Valley neighborhood than in
the northern end of. the county. So
says Frank, Connelly who returned from
a trip . through Sherman county last
night. . .
Jpne Stli Senator Dolph interested the
senate on the subject of irrigation in the
Inland Empire. He included in his ad
dress the very able letter of Col. Lang,
recently submitted to a meeting of The
Dalles citizens ; and also an almost in
valuable list of citations with reference
to riparian rights, which makes of it a
document for reference just at this par
ticular time, in which all Wasco county
people are interested. The subject mat
ter appears complete in the Congression
al Record pt the 10th inst.
A special feature of the Fourth cele
bration at this place will be the fire
mens' tournament. Four companies
will compete for cash prizes of $75 and
$25. The boys are now practicing stead
ily for the tournament and the result
will in every way promote the efficiency
of the department. . In competing for
the prizes, each company will have Co
run one hundred yards to a plug, at
tach the hose to the plug, lay 200 feet of
hose, break a joint, attach nozzle and
get first water. It is a race against time,
and is one of those things, as a feature
of the celebration, in which pleasure
and pront are happily combined.
There seems to be some apprehension
that horses will be scarce, and high
priced, for use on the 4th and this may
have a tendency to deter merchants and
traders from a resolution to enter the
ranks' of the procession. There need be
no apprehension of this kind whatever.'
Mr. Cathcart says he will supply a hund
red head of horses if need be. What
made horses so scarce last year was that
the committee had so many engaged.
This year the committee have none en
gaged ahead. Messrs. Ward & Kerns
have volunteered to furnish the horses
for the liberty-car. Mr. R. B. Hood
says there will be plenty of horses, but
people should not put off engaging them
till the last hour. .. .; .
From the Daily Chronicle. Thursday.
. Kn April day, with a .June tag on it,
was found in this city this forenoon. .
Read the new ad. of Mr. Fisher today.
The Elete is now well fitted to accom
modate the rush.
Prinz & ' Nitschke . are opening an
elaborate stock of new furniture, which
it would pay you well to inspect.
Commencement exerceies of Wasco
Independent Academy will be held at
the court House this evening at 8 o'clock
p.m.' " . Y' ,
. Several teams, including one carriage
and two or three wagons, were shipped
by the Regulator this morning to points
below. . . .
. There will be no prayer meeting at the
M. E. church tonight, because of the
commencement exercises at the court
bouse.
Amid the crash of nations and the
trembling of dynasties it may be noticed
that the -June wedding 'boom goes
steadily on,-
C. E. Jones of Moro was in town to
day. Mr. Jones has sold out his interest
in the Moro Observer to his partner J.
B. Hosford.
Maj. Ingalls ia unable to attend to any
business of importance at present, not
having fully recovered from the effects of
the accident which recently befel him.
Mr. and Geo. A. Young are yet in the
city, and intend ' remaining until after
the examinations in St. Marys Academy
where the r daughter Georgia is in at
tendance. Portland and Astoria complaints of
fast driving are load and frequent. Had
either city such drives as The Dalles can
boast of, their owners of roadsters might
be happy in their possessions. .
The Chronicle acknowledges the
courtesy of complimentary tickets to
the commencement exercises of the
Wasco Independent Academy, in the
Court house, this evening.
Marshall Hill left at this office today
a sample of fall wheat taken from a fifty
acre field on his ranch ' on Dry Hollow.
It measures over four feet, is well headed
ont and bids fair to make a fine crop. '
The U. P. R. R. "through trains,"
along First' street, from the depot to the
bridge trestle on Union street, are sent
aflying now-a-days ; and about the time
an ugly accident - happens to one of
them, they will slow down to tiie sche
dule fixed by the common council, with
consequential damages assessed;
The steamer D. S. Baker, Capt. Fred
Wilson, succeeded in landing the U. P.
R. R. Co's upper Cascade boat in The
Dalles yesterday. It is several years
since the old craft has' visited day-light
on the river. The nook which this wharf
boat has filled so long, is a desolate
landing now.
; A. J. Grubb of Pleasant Ridge had the
misfortune to lose the top of his left j
thumb last Tuesday. He was hewing a
break block for his wagon and ' the
handle of -bis axe struck the wagon
wheel, which caused the blade to glance
so that it struck the thumb near the root
of the nail and cut it through, bone and
all. ' . -
Mr. Linus Hubbard has shipped to
friends in Buffalo some average samples
of cherries which, could they be dis
played in a show window on arrival, as
fresh as when they left The Dalles to
day, would require the efforts of the po
lice to keep the street clear of people
who would stop to admire them. ' They
were of the Royal Ann and Black Re
publican variety, known only in Wasco
county, Oregon, so finely developed.
Among the editors of the Notre Dame
Scholastic, the college journal for the
current quarter, appears the name of
Roger Sinnott. His leader, written from
an imaginative stand point, under the
rules, in the Jane issue, is both fresh
and amusing. It shows the hereditary
tendency of the father in a remarkable
degree, and the Colonel mnst look to bis
laurels, else Roger will get away with
him n the captivating art of romancing.
J. E. McCormick brought to this
office today a sample of barley which
was grown on the divide between Three
and Five mile which shows very plainly
the effect of the last severe frost, which
occurred about the second of June. Mr.
McCormick is fullv of opinion that
scarcely any grain in this or Sherman
county has suffered from drought. He
holds that there has been no weather
sufficiently hot to barn grain and be
lieves it was the late frost that did the
whole damage.
The body of August Byers who was
drowned on the 4th instant at Celilo,
was found this morning, about 8 o'clock,
floating in the river, about a mile below
the falls. It was first seen by William
Chappellewho resides nearly opposite
where it was discovered. ' Mr. Chappelle
procured the assistance of a couple of
Indians who put out in a boat and
brought it to the Washington side of the
river. . He then drove to The Dalles and'
reported to Coroner Michell. .There is
no doubt of the body's identity.
It bad on the carpenter's apron
and clothing just as he was when
he met his sad fate. The re
mains will probably be brought here for
interment.
Damaging reports are confirmed from
points along the Columbia concerning
the growing wheat crop in a belt of from
ten to fifteen miles back of the Colombia.
It isjretty certain that with the excep
tion of spots, here and there, the crop
will not be worth cutting for the grain
there is in it.. Back of this strip the
crops are said to be fair. But when the
region is reached so far from' the river
as to make grain raising unprofitable, on
account of the long haul, there the crops
are luxuriant and abundant. Some sup-.
Buppose the damage was done by a cool
spell of weather, then suddenly coming
off hot. Others think it was caused by
Tin Wedding.
A very .pleasant little party of old-time
friends and neighbors met last night at
the residence of Hon. E. B. and Mrs.
Dufur to celobrate their tin wedding.
Among those present were Mr. and Mrs.
W. R. Meuefee of Dufur, Mr. and Mrs.
G. H. Barnett, Mr. and ' Mrs. Hugh
Gonrlay, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Menefee,
Mr. Troy Shelley and a number of
young folks; who thoroughly enjoyed
the occasion in their own fashion: The
party broke up at an early hour after
heartily wishing the host and hostess
many happy days. ,
Mr. ?. J. Sinnott Coming.
Mr. J. II. Hampshire, of thesnb-coui-mittee
of The Dalles 4th of July celebra
tion, to secure the reader and the orator,
instructed to secure the services of Mr.
N. J. Sinnott, now at Notre Dame Col
lege, Indiana, wrote to him, explaining ,
the situation here, and asking him, in
behalf of the com mi tteeto be with n
and read the Declaration of Independ
ence, if possible to come. To this letter '
Mr. Hampshire received the following
answer by wire, this morning :

with the greatest pleasure. Return
thanks to committee. N. J. Sinnott. '

To the regret of many the Regulator
band found itself, at the last moment,
unable to accompany the excursion last
night. Anticipating this, a number
brought their guitars and mandolins and
did their best to supply the lack. As the
boat left the city the instruments were
temporarily stowed away on the pur
ser's bed, and, without knowing this
Mr. . Allaway politely . invited a lady,
who was trying in vain to put her
baby to sleep to use the purser's
room. The lady put the .instruments
aside - and lay down beside her baby
and had just succeeded in quieting its .
cries when Mr. Ainsworth entered in
the dark and groped for his guitar, but
found what he supposed to be a lady's
cloak. Hastily attempting to pull it to
one side he was horrified to hear a
female voice enquire, What do you want
sir? When Mr. A. joined his compan
ions there was not enough blood left in
his face to stain a ladys cambric hand
kerchief. '
