: THE DALLES WEEKLY CHRONICLE; FRIDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1892. The Weekly Ghroniele. THE DALLES, OREGON LOCAL AND PERSONAL. From the Daily Chronicle, Friday. A. W. Brenner of Nansene, is in the city. Miss Anna Moore returned to Portland this morning. T. A. Abernethy and Dr. J. A. Lyon are in the city. land on the evening train. Wendell Hall of Spokane, is in the city. Also, Prof. J. H. Fisk, of Port land. ' . Mr. and Mrs. Smith French and Mr. Frank French returned from Portland yesterday. Mrs. Emma Waffle of Umatilla, is in the city, and is the guest of Mr. and Mrs, It. Li. Manns. Everybody in The Dalles yesterday observed Thanksgiving in a suitable manner, according to taste. Two cows and a valuable dog were killed on the U. P. K. yesterday, be tween Heppner and Cascade Locks The barometer today in The Dalles shows that another severe storm is brew ing somewhere. It is low and falling. Dutch Flat, eight miles south west of The Dalles, and possibly 2500 feet above, was visited by quite a fall of snow last night. Mr. and Mrs. Frank B. btevens came up on the Regulator Tuesday, and are spending a few days with his parents Mr. and Mrs. O. C. Stevens. Justice Schutz court which has been hanging along, awaiting developments for some time past is now about like the mills of the gods, all ready to grind Mr. Geo. F. Beers took a vacation last week, the first one for several years, and in company with Mrs. B. visited the consolidated city .going by the Regulator line. The Columbia River Fruit company made a large shipment of fine prunes yesterday, and The Chboxicxk chal lenges the Pacific coast states to beat it, lor quality. In a few hours, perhaps tomorrow, we hope to hear of some first class detective work in the Inland Empire. There is a fine field for it, ripe for a bountiful har vest of well earned laurels. C. C. Hobart and wife left on the mid night train for Lewis ton, Idaho, to at tend the funeral of their nephew Will Wigein, who was ' drowned in Snake river on Thanksgiving day. Mrs. Helen Harford, W. C. T. U. lec turer for the state of Oregon, will ad dress the citizens of The Dalles at the cordial invitation is extended to all. A dozen teams of Indian outfit from fVio Warm finrinon rPKArvsLt.inn . are ' loaded .or loading at the East End for the agency. Uncle Sam is very gener ous to these wards of the government. They receive two cents per pound for hauling the goods, then the goods are issued to them gratis. Yesterday the little son of J. W. Jen kins while playing along the flume about five miles up Mill creek, fell about ten feet on some rocks, receiving a scalp wound about 1 inches long, cutting to the bone, and another cut about half an inch long over the right eye. Dr. Eshel man stitched and dressed the wound and the little fellow is resting easy. r A government inspector of railways was hustled through The Dalles at light ning speed yesterday, in a special car with a locomotive. About three miles this side of the cascades a hand car was met. The men on the car escaped, but after that locomotive got through with that hand car, you could put the latter into your pocket easily, it was broken up so completely. There is some kicking in U. P. R. cir cles because The Chboniclb sees fit to speak the truth about matters of busi ness in the transportation blockade, in consequence of the Reed geyser obstruc tion. Readers in the Inland Empire are not such fools as to be hoodwinked by falsehood ; and it would be better for the IT. P. if they would tell the truth a little more frequently. Judge Blakeley has a petition, accom ' panied by a letter from Supt. J. H. Misener, asking aid for the Boys and Girls Society of Portland. The approach of winter calls for necessary extras, and as the society cares for boys and girls trom all portions ot tne state, it is .no more than right that all parts of the state should contribute. The society now have four children from Wasco county, and Judge Blakeley informs us that there are three more here that should be taken to the home as soon as possible. But few reports reach us of people in the Inland Empire witnessing, the meteoric displays this week. Dis patches show that the new comet is a pretty fair one, even if it was discovered by a mere amateur astronomer. There are six comets now visible in the heavens, and if you look through some glasses you may see as many as twelve. Another comet has just been discovered, but the astronomer has not yet been able to determine whether or not the celestial body has just passed through the throes of a general election. The Thanksgiving dinner at The Umatilla yesterday was largely patron ized by others than those immediately "at home" there, and it was certainly a dinner equal to any given in Oregon. The dining room, which will comforta bly seat 300 persons at one time, - was very handsomely decorated, and the tables were ornamented in true metro politan style Steward . Cooper really outdid himself in the display and orna mentation of the center table, upon which was a sturgeon, mutton-head, beef-head, fat turkey dressed, and orna mental cakes, pies, etc., all artistically arranged, and very much admired. Last evening a party of young people had a very pleasant time at the resi dence of J. E. Barnett. Games of all kinds, interspersed with supper and laughter, mostly the latter ; were the sources of enjoyment of which there was no lack. There were present Misses Grace and Hattie Glenn, Georgia Samp- 1 -W Ml- Tr.11 Ji . son, lirace ana Jiiue A.euey, ixeiuo Fredden, Julia and Clara Nickelsen, Hilda Beck, Edith Randall, Pearl Joles, Lizzie, Bernie and Martha Schooling, Grace and Bertha Willerton, Emma Williams. Delia Michelbach, Effie Adams, Susie Chase, Beulah Gilgard, May and Edna Barnett and Masters Victor Sampson, Dayton Taylor, Harry Fredden, Neddie Baldwin, Earl Sanders, George Ruch, Frank and Gay Chase, Rowland Wiley, George Rice and Archie Barnett. All repaired home at a sea sonable hour and in a happy frame of mind, though probably somewhat tired ot limb. From the Daily Chronicle, Saturday Miss Mav Booth of Portland is in the citv, visiting Miss JSellie Brown. Phil Smith, who was taken to the hos pital recently very ill, is slowly recover ing- T. A. Hudson now has the nobbiest sign on Washington street, at his new office, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Hanna of Olex, were in the city yesterday, en route to their new home from Benton county It is Mrs. Hanna's first visit. We acknowledge a social call from James L. Easton and son, of Boyd. Mr. Easton has been a resident of Wasco county fourteen years. He belongs to the argonauts of '49, at which time he landed in California. A drove of 130 head of fine flat Berk shire porkers were driven in today for the Columbia Packing company, from the Klickitat farm of Mr. W. Lord. They are all about equally proportioned and verv nearlv marked alike, At a recent meeting of the official board of the M. E. Church a resolution was unanimously passed tendering a vote of thanks to Prof. M. W. Smith for his splendid present of ten elegant high back chairs for the use of the choir. Balfe Johnson, the worthy operator of the W. U. T. Co. at The Dalles, met with his 23d annual reception in Life yester day and duly observed the event by making-a call last evening where he was considerably surprised by the cus tomary flogging; with an unusually pleasant aftermath The carrier boys' appeal to the city subscriber is to have boxes placed at the gates to keep the paper dry, assure prompt delivery and preserve the paper in readable form from tne storms of winter. The Chronicle would be pleased to see this appeal acted upon. Sherman county fares no better, since she left Wasco, if as well as formerly. Assessments of the value of the lands are fully 20 per cent, greater, and taxes much higher than previous to the crea tion of the new country. "Let well enough alone," is a pretty fair motto in times like these. Rev. W. H. Wilson of this city has an apple which he picked a year ago this month from a tree on his Mill creek farm, now owned by the Columbia river fruit company. It is solid good fruit, but Mr. W. does not know the name of it. He purchased the tree in Missouri, and on coming out, with other trees, the tag was lost. It shows, however, how fruit will keep in this climate. . From the Daily Chronicle,' Monday. The Oregonian has shoved Riparia, Wash., up into Idaho, in a single para graph. Mays & Crowe have made a sweeping reduction in stoves. See new ad. on 2d page today. A private note informs us of the safe arrival of Mr. R. R. Hinton at Hotel Oakdale, Nordhoff, California.' Perhaps to the abnormal brightness of the weather, as much as to late elec tion bets, is due reflection of so many new silk hats. Miss Mabel S. Gray, daughter of Rev. D. B. Gray, formerly of The Dalles, was married in Portland on the 22d to Mr. Charles S. Fay. The Regulator was loaded to the guards, so to speak, this morning. About 30 head of horses, several wagons, and a large lot of wheat. The Regulator landing at Hood River, is being so fixed that hereafter passen gers can land without the inconveniences which have hitherto been an obstacle at that point. Mr. C. B. McKinstry, late of Little Rock, Iowa, has located in The Dalles, and formed a copartnership with Mr. J. M. Huntington, at the old stand in the Ruch building. V Wm. Ellis wim't&keit to Portland by a deputy ' sherifftrfrom Multnomah this morning, on1! Charge of skipping with a lot of chattels wjiich he had. mortgaged to other persona. '-j-. : V. . . Slow progress is made in the trial of the Bergfeld case. There has been some pretty sharp sparring on the part of the attorneys on both sides today re garding the admissibility of testimony. - The ladies of the M. E. church oif The Dalles will give an experience social New Years evening. The ladies are to each earn one dollar for the organ fund, and at the social will recite their exper ience in earning it. Trains are now passing oyer the ob structions at Reed on a trestle built above the buried track. The Geyser continues its work, but the stream has been turned into a canyon where it is thought no further trouble will be had with it. A couple of Indians started .for Warm Springs Agency Saturday with a huge zinc tank on their wagon. The tank measured twenty-one feet in circum ference, and it looked somewhat du bions about their getting home with it safely. Don't you know that the holidays are approaching and you will be expected to make some one a present? Then, if you do, take advantage of Pease Mays' great reduction in prices in every department of their magnificent store Don't stand in your own light and then kick yourself afterward for being foolish. The emperor of Austria has presented a silver medal to a female servant, who has, in his judgement, earned it by re maining seventy years in the employ of one familv. In this country a servant who has been in one family seven months would be entitled to a silver medal. While one with a recor&of seven years should have a large gold one. The barometer began falling here Sat urday and last night reached 29.03 at 5 :30 and continued stationary until this morning at 9:30. Since then it has risen to 29:11, and is stationary at o'clock p. m. today. The wind southerly and quite calm in movement The rainfall is very light only .0 ot an inch has fallen in the meantime. Dr. Walker, who was a resident of The Dalles in early years, an army sur geon, was in the citv last week on visit. He bears the marks of Indian arrows upon his person, received in con flict with the savages in 18(15, at cotton wood canyon. Arrows flew thick in that engagement, and to hear the story as Dr. Walker relates it, it was a narrow escape. For several years past Dalles City skaters have had no crystal congelation upon which to indulge their ambition and expertness. Last winter they bad a few days and moonlignt evenings, but the time was reallv too brief for any thing like the pleasures of former sea sons still remembered, hence it is not surprising that they are nopeiui oi a change, like the man in the time of ad versity. Another class of our citizen? who are thus hoping for a change, are the ice dealers and consumers. A New York paper gives an account of late record breaking by the Empire State Express on the New York Central railway, making the fastest time in its history with Engineer Edward Chase at the lever and Jim Stark as fireman making the run from Syracuse to Al bany, 147 miles, in 136 minutes. A four-minute stop was made at Utica. and during the trip the train was "slowed up" six times. This beats all previous world's records. The trial trip of this train, which astonished everybody, consisted of 148 miles in 146 minutes. Mr. Clary, a Kansas city gentleman who is taking in the Inland Empire on business, informs us there is still await ing shipment at one city alone in the Palouse region 500,000 bushels of wheat, not one third of which is in warehouse, but is piled up on platforms on the out side. Six thousand cars of wheat have passed Ellensburgh en route to Tacoma alone. Coupled with this statement is the fact that a great amount of wheat is still held bv the farmers of eastern Washington for better prices, and yet not one-fourth of the wheat land is in cultivation. Taken as it is the situation plainly shows that with the Columbia river alone will we be able to ship the products of the Inland Empire in any thing like reasonable time annually in the near future. An interesting event occurred on board the steamer Dalles City last Fri day. On that day a number of Indians went through from The Dalles, includ ing a squaw with a baby. At Fisher's landing Mrs. D. P. Thompson went on board en route for Portland. Seeing the Indian woman with her papoose, Mrs. Thompson obtained permission from the mother to name the baby, and she named him Benjamin Harrison. After the ceremony Mrs. Thompson's atten tion was attracted to the necklace of beads and coins worn by the Indian mother, and the discovery, was made that she had five Harrison medals, of the campaign of 1840, when the elder Harrison was elected to the presidency. Mrs. Thompson purchased two of the medals and will keep them as souvenirs of the christening.;; "How to raise water by machinery for private nse" is the subject up for dis cussion at the meeting of the horticul tural society at Hood River next Satur day. From the amount of money spent for rams, mills and wheels it would seem that this subject is a very timely one, says the Glacier. Don't throw away $100 on something to raise water with and then find it will not fill the bill. Attend the horticultural meeting, and by listening and questioning find out just what you need belore you buy. Discussion will be opened bv H. C. Bateman. Mr. W.s. Chittenden, in a note to the editor, says" he is delighted with Moscow. He says the region about there is the finest agricultural and stock country in the world. The Moscow ar tesian well furnishes the finest water he ever tasted, and in bountiful supply. He took a tramp to the suburbs on the 20th, about which he says: "The city and surroundings are as beautiful as spring; the country is all a living green with freshness. "As I looked upon it I felt a little green myself, that I had not come to this portion of the world sooner." The Bergfeld Cane. The following jury was empanneled on Wednesday, to try the case of the state v. Bergfeld. Tim. Mahew, H Egbert, Thos. Harper, J. W. Wallace, Robert Lowe, S. F. Blythe, Charles Cramer, D, W. Hol gate, L. E. Ferguson, T. E. Wickens, W. J. Harriman, and John Murphy. After the jury was impanneled court adjourned until Friday morning at which time the examination of witnesses began on the part of the prosecution. The following witnesses have been examined today tip to the hour of going to press with this edition : Dr. O. C. Hollister, Jos. Nitschke, Jerome Lauer, N. M. Eastwood, A. S. Bennett, Dr. O D. Doane, Dr. Rinehart, Dr. Logan. Nothing in tbe nature of new evidence from that reported in The Chronicle at the time of the preliminary examination has so far been adduced. ine court room is crowded witn spec tators, many ladies watching the pro gress oi tne trial witn interest. The court room was densely packed last evening to listen to the testimony in the case of the State v. Wm. Bergfeld The evidence of Capt. J. H. Fisk, Miss L. V. Hampton and her brother, W. H, Hampton, was completed. The analysis of the stomach of Mrs. Rogers, sub mitted at the preliminary examination was made by Capt. Fisk and Miss Hampton ; on the 16th the balance of the contents of the jar was delivered to W. H. Hampton, and he was engaged by ' the prosecution to make another analysis. . Hie testimony last evening showed that a large quantity of zinc had been taken into tbe stomach of deceased when the proportions of the body and the conditions are considered in connec tion with the small quantity of the fluid analyzed. It is expert testimony and may perhaps not be sufficiently plain to be clearly understood generally, except as to tbe particular point that there is evidence in the trace of a considerable quantity having entered the stomach, At iu o'ciock Mr. u. L.. uates was called, when the question was raised as to the admissability of his testmony, and counsel argued the mattter until the ad journment, 10:45 p. m. On convening court Saturday morning Mr. Cates again took the stand, and the argument continued on the admissibility of the evidence he was about to give, Finally it was admitted, the statement made, and afterwards stricken out. The next witness called was Mr. Bert Rogers. Married. Oar New Railway. The Telegram claims that the Tacoma, Lake Park and Columbia river railway is a scheme of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy, and will build through Cowlitz pass to a. connection with the Hunt system. It is said the Great Northern and C, B. and Q. have a per fect understanding. If they build west from Wyoming to Boise, there verging to connect with the Hunt system on Snake river, and the Oregon Pacific via Albany and Astoria, they will thus have three outlets to the coast. One on the sound and two in Oregon. The C, B. and Q is a wealthy and independent corpora tion, but it is too conservative for un- umlimited extensions. Telegraphic Flashes. The N. P. R. No. 1, was held up sixty- three miles east of Tacoma on the 24th, and passengers were relieved of about $1,500 in money and valuables. Fire in a New Mexico coal mine at Blossberg makes it possible for 100 men to meet their fate in death. It is possi ble they may escape from another shaft. Great floods are reported in China; many people have been drowned. -' Jamea G. Blaine's physical condition is reported to be serious, and his friends are fearful of the result. Born.

We will tell you. To cure a cold quickly, it must be treated before the cold has become settled in the system. The first symptoms of a cold is a dry, loud congh and sneezing. The cough is soon followed by watery ex pec to ration and the sneezing by a pro- ruse watery discharge trom the nose, in severe cases there is a thin white coating on4he tongue. What to do? It is onlv necessary to take Chamberlain's Cough Kerned v in double does every hour. That will greatly lessen the severity of the cold and in many cases will enectu ally counteract it, and cure what would have been a severe cold within one or two days time.
