Blaie, an extensive real es tate dealer in Dea Moines, Iowa, narrow ly escaped one of the severest attacks of pneumonia while in the northern part of Iowa during a recent blizzard, says the Saturday Review. Mr. Blaie had occasion to drive several milee during the storm and was so thoroughly chilled that he wa unable to get warm, and in side of an hour after his return he was threatened with a severe case of pneu monia or lung fever. Mr. Blai9 sent to the nearest drug store and got a bottle of Chamberlain' Cough Remedy, of which he had often heard, and took a numlier of large dose. 1 Ie say the ef fect was wonderful and In a short time be was breathing quite easily. He kept on taking the medicine and the next day he was able to come to De Moines. Mr. P.lai.e regard hi cure as simply wonderful. For sale by Blakeley A Houghton. A CHARMED LIFE. The l'uraalnc rat which Clemens Welle. Fellow Some grim genius of disaster pursue the person of Clemens Wetle, and the several narrow escapes he has had from death can scarcely lie counted on the fingers of his hands. He commenced by breaking his leg In three places. Shortly afterward a horse stepped on his foot, cutting off hi big toe as neatly as a biscuit cutter could have dune it. Last summer he wa badly powder biirned, while investigating its explo sive power, with other children. A few days ago a mnle kicked him in the ab domen. Yesterday morning at 9 o'clock he wa shot in the stomach with a 32 caliber bullet, and still lives. Nicholas Krier and Wetle were playing with a rusty pistol, which would not work, but supposed not to be loaded. The boy doctored it op with coal oil and it finally worked. Krier had the weapon, and of course the best place to point it was at Wetle. It wa a self cocker and Krier m-as suaiirised to see a little wreath of blue smoke follow the pulling of the trigger, while Wetle wa equally sur prised at a sharp sting in the stomach. The bullet fortunately struck exactly in the center of the sixth rib, glancing and coming out within two inches of where it entered. Dr. Hollister, who does the surgical work for the family, was hastily summoned. He bad hi surgical in struments already to start, having caught eight of the familiar figure of Wetle fran tically riding hi gray horse for the doc tor, and the latter knew just what to ex pect. The father say he has grown used to these thing now.'and could not be happy unless some horrible thing happened every little while. The boy seem to bear a charmed life, and he would hardly get wet if be fell in the river. The ( hroulrle'a Birthday. The Chbosh'le commenced Vol. VII with No. 1 today. In the three year of its existence The Cheosich ha noth ing to regret and much to hope. A an enterprising, fearless newspaper it has taken first rank in Eastern Oregon. That the people generally favor its tone and work is evinced by the largest sub scription list ever before attained in this section of country. The Chkosicle take pride in saying that it bag been a prime factor in the development of the country, and has induced many to settle in Oregon from other state, benefitting the merchants, the people and thecoun try. It has npheld the right and de nounced the wrong, and announces a continuance of the game policy for the future. As a newspaper we have en deavored to lay daily before our readers the latest events as they have trans pired, with whatever comment in our opinion they deserved. If we have at times offended, let it be remembered our spirit was all right, and that wise men may honestly ditfer. A newspaper that is guaranteed to always please ia with out an opinion and without force. The Chronicle extends thanks to our patrons for past favors, whom we shall continue to try and please, as before, by honest, conscientious effort. A l)lart Club. A physical culture club wasorganized yesterday in The Dalles, which will hereafter hold regular weekly meetings. The officers consist of a president, lead er, secretary and treasurer, and will pursue regular parliamentary rules in connection with the exercise aa taught by Mrs. Helen Stafford. It is possible that a regular club costume will be adopted. The club is well pleased with the leeaons taught and the efTorts of the tutor. Mr. Stafford will leave tonight for Pendleton to spend the holiday and visit with her class there, who have kindly extended such an invitation. She then propose to return to The lalles and resume ber class at this point, when all who have not joined it on account of the pressure of work attendant upon Christmas, or other cause, may again have that opportunity. Mrs. Stafford is quite well pleased with The Dalles and consider it a very attractive place and greatly enjoy the scenery of the city and the surroundings. She ha also be come favorably impressed with its people, and regret that the has not had time to cultivate their acquaintance. She will, however, return within few week and continue the pleasant associa tion broken by her visit to Pendleton. Due notice will be given of ber arrival before her return, that those desiring to join the cias may preneui lucir re plication. Oradloa; Seeond atreet. The Chkomci.e does not know who is mpcrintending the work of street build ing, but believe that it ia not being built high enough in the center toeffect- rely drain the surplus water for a long me to come. To im prove Second street from Union to the brewery grade re- uires a vant outlay of money in ttie ag gregate, and the work should either be mler the suiiervisiou of an experienced road builder, r rich superintendent should provide himself with the best in formation on the subject. The detail should be left to such authority, but the primary theory of grading a street i to make it high in the center and make continuous gutter on both sides, which will allow the water to flow off unob structed. To Chronicle believes that it is not enough to allow eight inche more height in the center than on the sides, and that it will be but a matter of a short time till the cen ter U again on a level, or perhap depressed by the heavy wagon which will drive almost continually along the center of the Hreet. One citizen, who believes h iW The Chkomci.e, pro poses to follow out his Wlief in this re. gard as touching hi own property and will make the street much higher in the center than so far practiced. Hhareal Alike. The quiet of the recorder' office waa broken today by the trial of two person for fighting. Marshal Maloney swot out wa-rants against J. H. Warren and W. H. Brown, and charged them for disturbing the peace. Brown and War ren are both runner for the Columbia hotel and had some dispute while going to the boat Saturday evening concerning their respective merit. The testimony showed that Warren was drunk and called Brown namea, which most men will resent. Warren threw np hi arm as if to strike, and then Brown knocked him down promptly. War ren lay unconscious for some time. Brown told a straightforward story which wa uncontradicted, while War ren refused to take the stand. . The re corder seemed unable to make any dis tinction and fined them each $15. War ren paid his, but Brown bad no money and will have some spare time thinking that the man who take the trouble to defend himself show poor judgment. H. II. Riduc'l appeared for the city and J. Walton tor Brown, while Warren con ducted hi own case much to the amuse ment of the spectators. The Branch Aaylnm. The Salem Independent says : There is to be another attempt made to prevent the erection of the branch asylum in Eastern Oregon and of the soldier' home at Rosebnrg. Under the guise of protecting the people in their constitutional rights, politicians are at tempting to evade the responsibility of location until after election. It waa for thia purpose that a board of consulting physicians was appointed to locate the branch asylum and now a suit is to be brought, which the governor, secretary of state nd etate treasurer fondly hope will cause a delay that will make it un necessary for them to jeopardize their political interests and incidentally, allow in the neighborhood of $200,000 to be kept (?) in the state treasury for some time. In the furtherance of this polit ical and financial tcbeme, Governor Pennoyer can be but little interested, as he has no political horizon to be clouded by the jealousies of Eastern Oregon ai pirants for the branch asylum, and is uot state treasurer. Kri Kringle Party. The ladies of the Congregational church will give a Kris Kringle party at the Wingate hall Tuesday evening, Dec. 19th. A program has been prepared, which will prove a rare treat to all who attend. Articles of fancy work, both ornamental and useful, will be placed on sale.

The Dalle la laid to lie the liveliest town in the Northwest today. There is more caah In circulation and more busi ness done every day than in cities ten time its size. The reaaon is that the town ha never overbuilt. The Dalles never was "boom" town, and now while bankruptcy stare Tacoma, Seattle, Spokane and other Pacific coast town in the face, The Dalle pursue the even tenor of its way. The city ha a pros perous country around it, which in creases yearly in wealth and population. Perhap The Dalle ha not kept pace with the country, but if this is an error, ii h n the safe side. After the fire, no blow was made about the town arising "phu nix-like" from it own ashes, that the fire wa "a blessing In disguise" and all that. The fire hurt the town, hurt it like everything, but instead' of borrow ing all the money possible and mortgag ing what waa left, property owner pur sued a course of moderation and today, after over two years, it has not fully re gained all that it lost. It has improved a great deal, to be sure, but not on bor rowed capital. It has been paid for with money aince earned. There haa never been a legitimate business failure in The Dalles. Neighbors etudy what this mean. Property values never reached a fictitious figure. Is not thia better than to rise to fancy figures in a fever of boom, and then relapse when the bubble bursts? The Dalles is prosperous even in these times of depression. It is sure to grow, but may it never make a mush room growth. We do not need any magic city building. When the pres sure of increasing business from river traffic and country farm crowds the present channels, business men with the necessary experience and capital will erect more stores and public buildings, and the business will be ready for them, without any artificial stimulant. Dofar New. Dcfcr, Dec. 15, 1893. To Ths Chbomicli: It hag been very stormy in these parts till the last day or two, and prospects bid fair at my writing for another small shower to the extent of sixty days. Nothing of importance in our burg only the recent hog drivers which pass through here from Tygh and Juniper Flat. The improvement of Tygh hill is a benefit to our people aa well a those on the other side, for hardly a day passes but what four or five teams come in laden with wheat for our mill, and of course that brings more trade to others, but etill they kick at the washouts on the hill. Yet I must admit the road is hardly wide enough for big teams, even in dry weather when wet don't count, as it has only been a very short time since a trail wagon went fluey about two-thirds of the way up, and the team ster is at the foot of the hill fixing the breakage to make one more ascension. The industrious farmer is plowing every day, as if wheat brought $1 per bushel and he had 10,000 bushels, and wishing for more of Buch weather, while the loafers of this burg (of which there ia a great number) are wishing it would snow ten feet deep so the store-keepers would keep up a better lot of fires. Am sorry to say that I am classified with the latter lot and am speaking from ex-. perience. But the Methodists are run ning a revival meeting at present and we can gather enough heat at church to last until the Jbuow does come. Our U. B. minister has gone to Moro to assist in revivals at that place, go you see we will keep warm tome way. Praise the Lord ! The steam chopper is running at full blast most of the time grinding the spoilt wheat of thia country. It makes very good horse feed j if not too badly spoiled. Owing to the recent rains it hag been impossible for the farmers to get wood from the timber, and that makes good business for our city wood yards. Excuse my laziness in not writing last week. Jack. Indicted In Crook County. Sheriff Booth of Prlneville came over in Grant county last week and arrested two of our best known stockmen on in dictments returned by the grand jury in session at Prlneville at present. Each of these two gentlemen will be able to clear themselves, and when the facts are fully known, nothing of a criminal na ture will be found against either of them. Eagle.

The Chrysanthemum boys gave one of their pleasantest parties last evening. The hall was prettily decorated and the music and floor were excellent. Several guests were invited who together with the members themselves passed the time in merriment. The Chrysanthe muma intend giving a dance in the near future as a return to the one given by the Mignonette club last Thanksgiving.

There are fewer lawyers in the Eng lish parliament than in the American house of representatives. Daniel B. Matteson, of Boston, Mass., tried to stop a dog fight, and was bitten by a dog belonging to Homer C. Strong. He sued Strong, and the - jury awarded him S3T5. The su preme court sustained the verdict. A dentist nt Birmingham, England, has just been mulcted in 5230 damages for the extraction of the whole of the teeth of a married woman. She only asked him to extract one tooth. Previ ous to the operation she testified she could eat a crust or pick a bone with anyone. , To Brace V The system after "I.i Grippe," pneu monia, fevers, and other prostrating acute diseases ; to build up n-eild flesh and strength, and to r.-'ore henlth and vigor when you feel "nin-lown" and used-up. the best thing in the world ia Doctor Pierce's Golden Medical Discov ery.
