The captuiu la after horses and Mr. Morse wants to dispose of a 100,000 or n. ore fence posts. J. (). Muck went to Portland yester day afternoon to visit the races, and to complete arrangements for bringing tome first class horses here for the fair next month. He can accomplish that result if anyone can. William Walker was injured by the upsetting of a header wagon four miles from Dufur and suffered a fracture of the left fore arm near the wrist. He was brought here yesterday evening, and Dr. Logan attended to his injuries. The case of the State of Oregon against James iameron, cuargeu wun obstructing a public highway, is up for trial before Justice Davis this afternoon. The oftunae is alleged to have lieen com mitted on one of the roads of Mill creek. The scarcity of locals in this issue is not due to dullness or anything of that kind. The truth of the whole matter Is that 1). C. H err In took a photograph of the writer the other day which he brought into this office at noon. IJe made so much improvement in our per sonal appeurance, and took so many years off our age that we have simply put in our time looking nt it, and felt too proud to worK. We have mude arrangements with the San Francisco Examiner to furniiih it in connection with Tub Ciihoniclk. Hav ing a clubbing rate with the Oregoniun and N. Y. Tribune for our republican patrons, wo have made this arrangement for the accommodation of the democratic members of Tiik Ciiiionil'I.r family. Both papers, the Weekly Examiner and Hkmi-Wkkki.y Ciiiiomclk will lie fur nished for one year for $2.25, cash in ad vance. Mr. I . C. Nielsen returned with bis family from the coast last night. He brought with him the running gears of a defunct whale. The jaw bones of the leviathan have been placed in front of his store door, making a fine natural arch. It has attracted considerable at tention giving a good ideaof the animal's mouth and also suggesting that that mine mouth would be a fine opening for tome young man who wanted to go into the oil business. This vnnnir Willie Smith, who has been in durance vile for some time at Heppner for the larceny of a sad dle, seems to have coveted and taken other property down in Wasco county. Thursday morning Hhoriff 1. T. Driver, of Wasco county, arrived with a warrnnt for young Smith, being charged with the larceny of a horse down there. He was taken bulow last evening and will be held in the Wasco jail till next term of court. Smith, it appears.was dead sure of a riding outfit, Wasco county furnish ing him with a horBe while Morrow came up with a saddle. He is but sixteen years of age, and Is a pretty tough cus tomer for a youth. Heppner Gazette. Monitor's Dully. C. F. .Stephens has just recolved a fine stock of goods, which lie Is offering t prices that will astonish you. He has a Tine line of dress goods, silks, ginghams, calicoes, laces and embroid eries. Mon'a suits, boys' suits, chil dren's suits, everything suits. Call and tee. We are requested by the board of directors of the I). P. A A. N. Co. to tate that their boats will continue to run as long as the river remains open. There have beon several unfounded rumors in circulation to the effect that the boat would tie up soon, hence the necessity of the above statement. The boat were put on the river to stay, and the company has no intention of doin anything with them except to continue to run them. City Marshal Blakeney yesterday ar rested a couple of "ladies," one being charged with abusive language and dis orderly conduct, and the other with roaming the streets. They gave bail for their appearance, and this morning on the advice of their attorney ac knowledged the offense and paid their tine. A fire started in Mrs. A. Millsap's millinery store at Ashland under the floor, Saturday afternoon, and before It could be extinguished It consumed the building and communicated with J. K. Van Haul's grocery store and dwell ing house adjoining, partially destroy ing them also. The loss amounts to over $1000, part of which was covered by insurance. The case of Wright against the Baptist church and O. D. Taylor was heard Wore County Judge Blakeley this morning, the plaintiff represented by II. H. Wilson and defendant by Hon. E. It. Dufur. The issues were not joined, the matter being on demurrer, oue filed by the church, one by Mr. Taylor and one by both. The last demurrer was sus tained and time given to file an amended complaint. Yesterday was fish day at Hood River. Several parties took advantage of the river being unusually clear to sample the salmon trout, and found them both numerous and anxious to tackle any thing in the shape of bait or fly offered. Geo. T. Prathera killed twenty-five, and a party that went up the river on a visit to Professor Snyder put in a short time catching eleven fine fellows, running from a pound to two and a half. TucMlay' Daily. Cirain sacks for sale at the Wasco warehouse. tf The weathor report for tomorrow is "showers, cooler." Bran and shorts, best quality, $13 a ton at Joles, Collins 4 Co.'s 2w The grand lodge, K. of P., of Oregon, meets at Portland the second Tuesday in October, the 0th. Deputy Sheriff Kelley made tale of some personal property at the courthouse door this afternoon. The Orchestra Union will begin its regular Saturday night soirees next Sat urday evening at 8:30. The prison missionary, Mrs. Smith, will deliver a lecture this evening at the Salvation Army barracks. Everybody invited. Messrs. J. and William McIIaley are each building a neat residence in Thomp son's addition, and also building for business purposes. Wheat is coming in more plentifully than it did last week, but the rush is not yet. In about two weeks the East End will lie filled with them. The weather clerk turned on the cool air faucet this morning and with it a strong west wind. Yesterduy was prob ably the laHt right warm day we shall have this seamm. Mr. Ed Martin has been employed to overhaul the assessment roll of 1H'J2, and prepare the delinquent tax list for pub lication. It is perhaps needless to add that the work will lie done thoroughly. William Smith, arrested and brought down from Heppner the other day, was taken before Justice Davis yesterday. He waived examination, and was held to apfiear before the grand jury with IhiihIm fixed at $300. Mr. Hugh Glenn has just completed the pigeon holes and shelving for the county clerk's office, and it is being put in place today. When completed there will lie room for the records and papers for the next ten or twenty years. The annual meeting of the Oregon Press Association will be held at Pen dleton, Oct. 2d. Captain G. H. Moffett, of the Telegram, will deliver the annual address and C. J. Curtis of Astoria will respond to the address of welcome. The Hood River schools opened yes terday with a large attendance. It looks now as though the new school house would not be built there until spring. The delay was caused by some oversight in not certifying that the bonds were filed with the county treas urer. By the time the money would be available now the weather will prevent the work being done. Yesterday was the beginning of the open season for salmon and the catch here was quite good. There is a heavy run of silversides and some chinooks. The fall catch gives promise of being the liest we have had in a number of years. As the river goes down it shows that quite a change has beon made in the channel. At the wharf where last year the ground was bare, the water is now twenty-six fuet deep. The cribbing and piers of the old wharf, built years ago, have again come to the surface, owing to the sand being washed away. It is quite probable that bad the grade down Court street, across the sand bar, not been built, the whole bar on this side would have been washed away. The Regulator was an hour late this morning in leaving her dock owing to tho fact that she had a flock of sheep to load after hr leaving time. The miser able animals drive round and round like Mark Twain In the Niagara whirlpool and while continually moving never get any plane. A man who engages in driv ing sheep needs to get a firm grip on his religion before he starts in, and the chances are then he will swear like a pirate before the very first time he un dertakes to drive a sheep into an en closure. Keaolutlon of Condolence. The following resolutions of comm ence were adopted at a special meeting of Jackson Engine Co., No. 1, held Sep tember 8, 1894, at The Dalles, Or. : Wiikukah, The Supreme Ruler of ihe universe has in His infinite aisdom seen Ct to remove from our midst a much-loved and honored citizen and member of our company, be it Rtmhed, That it is with a feeling of profound sorrow thut we as citizens and flreuien view the demise of our brother fireman, Einile Schutz; and that in his death this company has lost one of its oldest and most efficient members, the community has lost one of the most genial, generous and most unselfish of men, one who was always ready to as sist and administer comfort to thope who were suffering or in need of support. Reohed, That the officers and mem bers of Jackson Engine Company, No. 1, hereby tender to the widow and rela tives of our deceased brother firemen our heartfelt sympathy in this, their sad bereavement. Ilemhtd, That Jackson engine house he drafted in mourning for thirty days; that these resolutions be spread on the minutes of our records; that a copy be sent to the widow of the deceased, and that they lie published in the daily papers.' Geo. A. Liliik, W. II. Bl'TTS, Geo. C. Bii.lh, Committee. KiUBMley Item. We have pleasant weather after the rain. Harvest. ng is progressing nicely, head ing and reaping are nearly finished. A. McLeod's header headed thirty acres last Friday on Charles Fraley's place. Who can beat that with a ten foot header? The header was managed by Ben Brown, who is an expert at the tiller. Threshing machines are scarce on the ridge this year, and there would be a good run here for two more machines. All the grain threshed so far has turned out well and the quality is extra good. Our school started the first Monday of September, with Miss Emma Vogt of The Dalles, as teacher. Miss Vogt taught a very successful spring term and started with a good attendance this term. Our Sunday Bchool is a success under the able management of Sapt. J. I). Whitten. The health of the neighborhood is good, no deaths or accidents to record, our only trouble is the scarcity of money and the low price of wheat, but we live in hope that the long expected demo cratic free trade bill will help us out of our troubles. P.. C. The Way Us Kind. The Antelope Herald gives the follow ing account of the manner in which Barnard killed himself: "Tuesday evening about 6 o'clock Barnard rode up to his home, put up Lis horse and went to the house. Ilia mother, a sinter, two brothers and Cant Zachery were there. He ate some pie, drank a cup of coffee and seemed to relish it immensely. This done, he informed the folks that he had lived long enough and that he had concluded to bring hie earthly existence to a close. He said he had lived a man and was going to die a man. He advised the folka to live honest lives and to do as near what was right as possible. Then after bidding them all good bye he or dered them to all go to the barn so they would not bare to witness his death. Of course they were completely dumb founded and were reluctant about going, but Jim was determined and they could do nothing else than go. After they were all in the barn Jim stepped inside a small sleeping tent near the house and placing the revolver to bis temple, blew out his brains. Thus ends one of the moat horrible deeds ever committed in Eastern Oregon." A Grand Knee. The race between Robert L. and Patchen at Indianapolis Thursday was the grandest race of the kind on record, both as to time and the equality of the horses. Robert L. won the first heat in 2.03'4' and only won it by a nose. He took the second heat in the fastest time ever made, 2.02li', beating bis great rival only three lengths, and the third heat in 2.0414, winning by only half a length. Tho average time for the three heats was 2.03'-'j. In admiring the performance of the king of the turf the work of Patchen who is himself every inch a king, should not be loat eight of. The year 181)4 ia a rocord amasher in evory way. Hueelal Notice Tainting- Lmiiidi. "MIsb Bessie Holcomb will receive pupils in painting and drawing. Private lessons 50 cents.

Dr. Hauck was called to n-e Mrs. BiOL'an, who Jives near Antelope. Dr. came home l.iMt night, stating Mr. Bnvan's infant a alive ami well, hut for the iniilher'r iii'c there ia little hope, lie returned to bin patient this morning in the hope of relieving, and saving her life if she Mill lives when ho arrives at her bedside. Max 1'utz lias reconstructed the flume to bin gri-t mill, and una com pleted ix quite an impoxiiig piece of work. The flume is alaint 3tH) feet long and from about 6 to 25 feet high, with an inside surface about 3 feet square. X letter lat evening Irom S. K. Allen tells us misfortune has again overtaken him. This time a horse badly cripplsd and a break-down on the Deschutes hill. "Misfortunes do not come singly," it says. J. E. Keys was in town today. He in f ;rms us he will have completed a large barn in Berry Way flat in a few days ; also will have a fine crcp of hay therein within ten days. Mr. Keys is one of our moat deserving farmers and stockmen. You wonder what has become of one correspondent. To be explanatory, a good friend took pity on my sweltering condition and carried me to their home, a cool, shady nook far from the heat and dust of our town ; a lovely quiet apot ; a place to think and rest as the poplars and locust give us sweet music to cheer na as we sit under their quiet shade. My friends ind-ed have a nice home, situated on the I'rineville road, eight miles from town, and admirably situ ated for their business, stock raising. Their place is well set in alfalfa, which yields an abundance of hay for all their requirements. An excellent orchard is one of the adjuncts that is unusual on most of the places in this section. Rev. Mr. Baily of Prineville addressed the people at Mr. Bransfield'a school house. The aubject of hie discourse was "The Footmen in the Race," as illus trating the downward career of a human creature when they once allow the de mon, drink, to gain the ascendency. His remarkB were excellent, and well meant. On my way to church I had time to look about a little, and was surprised to note the many Improvements in a few years. Many comfortable homes have sprung op where there was but a barren waste a few years ago. Orchards are being put Jout. Good fences and com fortable houses are among the many needed improvements. This Gable creek locality, owing to its proximity to the mountain, has the advantage in soil of places lower down, as the soil is much deeper and more of a loamy nature that gives strength and vigor to growing products, while the aoil lower Deeds strengthening qualities added yearly that the best results may be ob tained. E. V. E. Mitchell, Sept. 2, 1894. The Kindergarten. Thursday afternoon a meetine was held in the Congregational church for the purpose of ascertaining the practica bility of starting a kindergarten. An earnest and enthusiastic interest was taken and a committee was appointed to visit the parents mid find out what sup port a competent kindergarten might have. Aa the kindergarten idea ia so new it may be well to give a briei explanation of its historv and aima: Frederick Froebel, the originator of the system, was a German. His entire life waa de voted to educational interests and the recollection of his own neglected child hood led him to give special attention to the education and care of the youngest children, which resulted in bis beautiful plane. Siuce bis death in 1652 the work has se gained in public favor that nearly every community in the United Statea haa ita kindergartens, and even Turkey and Japan are not behind. Hie aim ot the kindergarten is an all sided and harmonious development. It appeals to the activity of children and supplies the proper opportuuitiea for mental, moral and physical growth. The kindergarten lessona that are given by means of gifts, (blocks and other simple toys) appeal to the mind chiefly. By means of these attractive playthings the children's general intelligence, ob servation and attentiou are so developed that the mind is well prepared for regular school work. The games, which have each a deep moral purpose, are always accompanied by music and pro vide for tho physical development. The work that the children do in folding and cutting paper, etc., gives them another vent for their activities and inculcates habits of neatness, industry, persever auce and thought for others, as the work is Hi ways done for someone and never aimlessly. Considerable atten tion is paid to drawing and the use of the pencil is so valuable and delightful that it cannot be gained too soon. The kindergarten is in no sense a forcing system nor yet are ita aims trivial, but it supplies the right care and occupation for children from 3 to 6 years of age. The moral influences of a republican form of government, where all are allowed as much freedom aa they can use properly, is very beneficial, and the association with others of the same age makes the life of each child that of a citiaen; a member of a small com munity; a feature which no family, however Ideal, can quite supply. Un selfishness and all the smaller virtues are constantly cultivated in unobtrusive but effective ways. Perhapa the best definl tion of the kindergarten ia "child cul ture."' It ia hoped that any parents that have children to send, and are not called up on by the committee, will report at once to Mra. Curtis. Out on a Hjr. Monday morning the sedate old horse that earns his daily hay and oats hauling the dump cart for R. K. Saltmarshe & Co., developed a kittenish spell of friski nesi all by himself and started to explore the city. Tho cart to which he was hitched contained a bale of hay and nothing more. As old Whitey thun dered down Second street over the crushed remains of the brewery hill the bed of the cart dumped but the hay staid with it, and the outfit' came tearing down the street at the rate of almost ten miles an hour sending the affrighted dogs with their tails curled down yelp ing to their hiding places, and causing Mr. Wolf to forget for a moment the price of sheep pelts. Before the school bell rung he had crossed Laughlin and was heading down towards Federal at the same terrific gait, with none to etop his mad career or save the threatened hay. Yet one rose in the hour of need, another Arnold Wink L. Reed, or rather L. E. Crowe, who hurriedly completed the sale of a atove to a customer and aa soon as he could make the change hurried out to meet the coming doom. He heroically grabbed the lines and held the enraged animal with eo powerful a hand that he prevented him from violat ing the city ordinance against fast driv ing, and after a struggle of fifteen min utes succeeded in stopping him in front of Janobsen's store to look at the pic tures. It was a gallant exploit and thoroughly appreciated by Mr. Salt marshe, who gracefully offered as a alight token of his appreciation to either pre sent Mr. Crowe with the bale of hay or set up the cigars. Mr. Crowe was heard to murmur a bashful response to the effect that "he never ate hay." City Council Meeting. An adjourned meeting of the city council was held Friday night, present Mayor Bolton and councilmen Lauer, Nolan, Eshelman, Joles, Johns and H-iod. The following proceedings were had: The protest of Councilmen Lauer and Nolan against the seating of Councilman Hood on the ground that he had not been legally elected, was on motion of Councilman Joles seconded bv Eshel man, indefinitely postponed. On motion it was ordered that council proceed to have eewera constructed in Washington, Laughlin and Union streets, with laterals in alleys. The sewer in Union etreet to connect with the terra cotta sewer now laid. On motion it was ordered that a sewer be constructed on Court etreet of terra cotta, commencing at Columbia riyer running to Fifth, thence easterly to Washington, southerly to Fulton, east erly to Laughlin, and eoutherly to alley south of Alvord, and to be of following sizes: From the river to Fourth 16 inches, from Fourth to Washington 12 inches and the balance of the distance 8 inches. On motion a committee of three disin terested persons was appointed to ascer tain the cost of constructing said sewer. C. J. Crandall made a report of plans for atone street crossings, which was accepted and placed on file. Bills were allowed aa follows: W H Butts $35 00 Hugh Glenn, mdse 1 75 J 11 Blakeney, hauling 40 00 W A Maddron. labor 7 00 Dalles Lumber Co, mdse 38 73 Maier A Benton, mdse 2 2d On motion the matter of making the sidewalk on Fourth less dangerous was referred to committee on streets and public property. On motion the repairing of the city jail was referred to same committee. The placing of a public water trough at some point in the East End was re ferred to the committee on fire and water. No further business appearing, ad journed. Hliud Tcdi'i Concert. Blind Tom waa greeted by quite a good house last night, and the nudienee went home fully satisfied that they had received the worth of their money. Tom ia really a wonder, excelling in imita tion, which is indeed his only guide and reliance. His rendition of classical music ia good in execution, but he lacks expression. His imitation of a music box was perfect, and that of a guitar almost asgood. The imitation of a bag pipe brought a hearty encore, and in playing one of his own pieces he fooled everybody by his vocal imitation of a locomotive whistle. He went on to Portland tbia morning, but he told us privately he would give anything he owned if be could stop off at Hood River and aee Mt. Hood. LmI. A gold watch with silver chain, some where on Third or Fourth street. Watch contains photograph of owner, and a Maltese cross is attached to the chain Finder will confer a favor by leaving it at this office. PERSONAL MENTION. Monday, Mr. Geo. T.

The chargea for patent closets when used when necessary only, ia 25 cents, but when a constant stream is allowed to flow, the charge is $5 per month. In the last two years a large number of closets have been put in, and in a large number of them a constant stream is allowed to flow. The drain on the water supply has become so great that I am compelled to enforce the rules, and will hereafter charge $5 er month for all closets using a const J, t stream of water.
