There wore two deeds filed for record tli in morning, both to the same piece of property, being a part of the Jenkins donation land chiim at Hood Liver. There is on evident error in description. The first deed is from F.mma and J. F. Struuahun to Clara A. Iterry, and the fecund from Clara A. and J. I'.erry to William I.ernon. Tom McCoy met with a painful ac cident Saturday. Stepping out of bis hack door a shingle with a protruding nail was lying in wait for him, the nail penetrating bis shoe and into bis foot a half inch or more.

A few loads of wheat have reached here this season from Klickitat. Wheat is coming in very rapidly, the Kant End being filled with teams. Lawn tennis seems to have suddenly lost interest for some people. Wonder why? The Salvation Army continues to draw a large audience. The services are picturesque if not convincing. Max Vogt is making some improve ments in the ruins of bit bnrned build ings, but they are not of very imma nent churacter. A social will be given by the ladies of the W. R. C. at Fraternity hall, Satur day evening, Sept. 22d. Admission, 10 cents. All are cordially invited. Gurretson has a fine collection of pickled snakes, preserved centipedes and nther like material that would take the ribbon at au Arizona fruit exhibit.

The Regulator is bringing up quite large amount of freight every nigbt. Tuesday night she brought np seventy tons, and nearly as much last night. In few days she will begin handling "heat, which will keep her busy (or er rul months. Hon. H. O. Dunbar was re-nominatcd 'or the office of supreme judge to suc ceed himself, by the republicans of Washington yesterday. Judge Dunbar 11 well known here. From the present outlook the entire republican ticket in the state, county and precincts will be elected. The beach is covered with, wood from down-river points, but it still continues to come, one or more scows unloading every day. Evidently , the wood men anticipate a bard winter, an, w helher they are right or not, it behooves the careful citizen to have his supply on hand just the same. The salmon run is an exceptionally heavy one. The Seufcrts and Winans Bros, keep the cannery crowded to its utmost capacity, and could easily furnish double the amount of fish. With can ning facilities sufficient, a hundred tons a day could be furnished without much trouble, but as it is twenty-five tous is about the limit. The men w ho were arrested yesterday charged with burglarizing Mays A Crowe's store bad their preliminary ex amination licfore City Recorder Dufur today, and were bound over to appear before the grand jury, in November. In lieu of bail they will board at the county's exne until their trial comes off in Novemlxr. It is only a little more than two weeks until our district fair begins. With a magnificent fruit crop, the pavilion ought to le worth seeing this full if ever, and our merchants should take interest enough to make a displuy of their wares. The animal exhibit promises to be ex-! ceptionally good, and some of the best horses in the state will enter in the speed contest. Floyd Harmon and Charley Tibbets arrived home from I .via last night. They expected to bring borne at least one bear, but on arriving at borne Floyd found that bis bear dog hud been poi soned, and that settled the bear bunt, as a dog is just as necessary in catching a lieur as whiskey is in catching a vote. They bad a good time, however, and killed four dor.en grouse and pheasants. Miss Hall arrived from Portland today, and will open the kindergarten school in the small building known as the annex to the frame school house. Miss Hall has had a wide experience in teaching and will no doubt make the kindergarten a pleasing success. We advise parents to call and see the manner in which the school is conducted, for to those who never Baw a kindergarten it is really something new under the sun. W. II. Doolittle and S. C. Hyde were nominated for congress by the republi can convention at Spokane yesterday. Mr. Doolittle we do not know but we do kuow Sam Hyde. He is one of the brainiest, broadest gauged, w hole-souled fellows in the world. As a lawyer he is the peer of any on the coast, and ail a citizen as good as they make them. Sam Hyde will capture many a democratic vote because lots of democrats know him and if you know hiin, gentle read, there is no need to say more. Thw burglarizing of Mays 4 Crowe's stoie is quite a common occurrence, ow ing perhaps to the extra quality of goods they display. Its a hard game too. Of the last two burglaries the results are sufficiently serious to deter others from milking the attempt. The result figureB tip this way: One bur glar killed, one wounded ' and in jail waiting a trial for murder in the U. S. court, one Indian killed, and one of the criuiinuls serving a two yearo' sentence in the penitentiury, and two others iu jail awuiting trial. Mays & Crowe's tore is a hoodoo for burglars sure. Friday's Diuly. Miss Blanche Jory instructor in voice culture, piano and organ. Rooms at Mrs. Brown's, one block east o( academy, corner of B and Webster streets. If you want doors, windows, shingles, fire-brick, fire-clay, lime, cement, win dow glass, picture moulding or anything else in that line call on Hugh Glenn, next door to the Cm honk-lb office.

A dispatch from Oakland, Oregon, brings the sad news of the death of our old townsman James A. Varney at that place at midnight last night. Wo un derstand the remains will be brought here for interment. ' There will be public meeting of the McKinley club at the courthouse next Thursday evening at 8 o'clock. Senator Dolph will be here at that time and will perhaps have something to say to our citizens. Everybody invilea 10 oe present. A letter from Dr. Doane to a friend here indicates that lie is having a re markably pleasant trip. The letter is written from Chattanooga, and in the shadow of Lookout mountain, where Fighting Joe" Hooker fought his mem orable battle above the clouds. A house in Arlington belonging to Arthur Coffin and occupied by Mr. Bar foot was destroyed by fire last Saturday morning about 1 o'clock. It was evi dently of incendiary origin, as it started in an outhouse. Mr. Coffin t loss is $1,500, Insured for $1,000, and Mr. Bar foot lost clothing and furniture valued at $.150. Weather Prophet Pugue gives the fol lowing this morning: "Friday, fair, followed by probable showers ; Saturday, probable showers followed by fair." j From which Ve judge we are to have showers tonight and fair weather to morrow afternoon. He also adds that it will be decidedly cooler tomorrow night. The No Treadle Sew ing Machine w ill save your wealth and your wife's health. Don't buy until you see it. Call at 116 Conrt street, The Dalles, Or. Friday evening little MaU-l F.ndervhy, aged 4 years, fell off a foot log across a ravine, a distance of between fifteen and twenty feet, striking on the rocks and hard ground. She was picked up un conscious and Dr. Deitrich of Dufur was called in. No liones were broken and outside of the severe shock no serious damage w as done. Portland s city council has passed a license ordinance that makes it neces sary to take out a license before you can smoke a cigar, the citizen and the stranger within her gates are all treated alike, and they are all kicking alike. There is a wonderful unanimity of opin ion against it, but the mayor will sign the bill just the same. Mr. David Creightonand hisdaughter, while on their way to town Wednesday, met with an accident that came near re sulting seriously. They were riding to town on a load of w heat when from some cause they Blipped off, falling in front of the wheels. At the nine time a sack of wheat fell in front of one of the hind w heels and this stopped the team. If it had not been for this the wagon would have run over them. According to Joseph Murray, fish commissioner for Alaska, the birds and foxes are being exterminated. The pro cess comes as near being perpetual mo tion as anything yet mentioned. He says the hunters poison the foxes for their skins. Then the birds eat the poisoned foxes and die. Other foxea eat the poisoned birds, and die, other birds eat the other poisoned foxes and they die and there you have it the genuine circulating medium of strychnine. Killed In a Hopyard. An accident occurred in Dr. Davis' hopyard at Hairisburg on last Saturday, which resulted in the death of Miss Ma linda Grobe, a girl of about 13 years of ago, whose family life near Creswell, and bad come to pick hops. Coroner J. A. Javno was called and impaneled a jury and the following facts were devel oped : Willie Brownlee, a lad of about 12 years, and a resident of Eugene City, and another boy undertook to chop down a sapling near the tent where Miss Grobe's folks were camped, and Miss Grobe ordered them off, and upon their refusal to go she procured a sprout about six feet long and proceeded to give them a sound threshing, and Willie retaliated by throwing a small club, striking ber behind the ear. She became uncon scious at once and remained so until death, w hich occurred on Sunday morn ing. A poBt mortem examination was held, with Drs. DtiGas and Kelly pres ent. It was found that a blood vessel bad burst inside of the skull, from which death ensued. A warrant for the arreBt of Brow nlee has been issued, but up to this writing be has not been found. Albany Herald. The Couitug HarTCstvr. The Australian Stripper, the harvest ing machine of which five were made at Grant a year or so ago, promises to rev olutionize the system of harvesting. The machines made are all at work in Sherman county, and w ill cut about fif teen acres a day, and can be operated by two men and four horses. Not only does the machine cut the grain, but it also threshes it, all that is required to complete the work being the running of the threshed grain through a fanning mill. The machines can be sold for about $150 to $200, two of them costing less than oue header, and leaving the grain ao that the farmer can do the bal ance of the work with a windmill, sav ing all the expense of threshing. The machines made at Grant cut five or five and a half feet, but there is no reason why they should not be made to cut as much as a header. We believe it is to be the coming har vesting machine, and one that will make it possible for the farmer to live, even at the present low price of wheat. A Wreck and m Death. The west-bound passenger this morn ing was six hours late, owing to small wreck a mile and half beyond Ohio. The wreck was caused by the mail car climbing the rails and going over the bank. There was a freight car in front of it, which kept the track all right, so it is hard to say what caused the mail car to fly the track. It went down the bunk, but all the other cars remained, except tbo btiggnge car, the front trucks of which left the rails. There were four men riding on the front platform of the mail car, one of whom was caught un der the end of the mail car as it rolled over, and killed. The dead man and his brother had been fired from the train at Grants, but he made a sneak and got buck. The body was brought in and left at the depot, and was taken charge of by the coroner. New Htore a V It-tor. Buy your goods at F. 8. Gordon's new store at Victor. All goods marked in plain figures. My aim ia to sell, not to ku'p goods. My prices are made on too close margin for the credit system. Cash on delivery of the goods, means prosM-ritv for all. Yours sincerely, F. 8. Gordon. Coroner Butts took charge of the body of the man killed in the wreck at Celilo this morning, and summoned the fol lowing gentlemen to serve as it coroner's jury: D. S. Dufur, Ben Wilson, Hugh Chrisman, Sam Klein and J. Doherty, w ho after hearing the testimony in the case, rendered a verdict as follow i : "We, the jury empanelled to ascer tain the cause of the death of a certain person killed at or near Deschutes on the 19th day of September, 1894, find as follows : "That said deceased came to his death by reason of the mail car on train No. 1, on which he was riding, being derailed and crushing said deceased to death. "We further find that said deceased has no known relatives, and we are un able from the testimony produced at said inquest to ascertain his name, but his description it as follows: Age be tween 25 and SO years; short dark hair; smoothly shaved, except small mus tache; light brown eyes; about 5 feet 6 inches in height; wore blue overalls over a pair of striped pants; striped vest, gray coat, brown crushed hat, blue striped gingham shirt, and no under wear. "And in conclusion we further find that said deceased came to his death through an unavoidable accident, and that the O. R. A. N. railway company and all persons are entirely exonerated from any and all responsibility con nected with the death of said deceased. "That he had no papers or valuables on his person, except the sum of $1.65 in small change." Another Kurglary. Mays & Crowe are again to the front with a burglary. This morning about 6 o'clock George Obarr, a boy of about 10 years of age, was going down to the butcher shop, and as he passed Mays A Crowe's store saw a man standing at the front window looking in. As he came nsur the man walked towards him, aud as he passed the window naturally he looked in too. His curiosity was re warded by seeing a man inside the store behind the counter, who dodged down and hid behind the counter. George went around to the back of the store, and there saw the same man whjm he had seen in front of the building a few moments before, and also the man in side, who had started out. He ran up to Marshal Blakeney's house and aroused him. Blakener was soon on the ground, but the men had lett, going over to the btach back of Pease 4 Mays'. Rlake ney gave chase, and as the burglars were loaded down with plunder, having all their pockets filled with pistols and knives, be soon overtook them. One of them proved to be an English man who was quite tractable, but the other evidently an American w as lull of tight. He made a pai-a at Blakeney and succeeded in scratching his nose, w here upon he was promptly knoc ked down. At Stubling's corner the marshal called Charley Johnson and some others to assist him, and both burglars were soon landed in jail. On the way the obstrep erous one made considerable trdublennd in the sheriff's office began another fight of which be got considerably the worst end ot the game. George Obarr for so young a boy showed remarkably good judgment, and it is through his prompt action the men were so quickly caught. Kaatern Oregon Weather and Crops. The temperature was normal in the Columbia and Walla Walla valleys and cooler than the normal east and south of the Blue mountains. The precipitation was slightly excessive. Light frost oc curred on the 14th and 15th. The showers which occurred during the past week were frequent and at timet heavy but no damage to grain is reported. Heading and threshing con tinued notwithstanding the frequency of the showers, though the usual progress could not be made, owing to the grain being too tough. Grain continues to yield well up to expectations, being a full average in most sections. The price offered is the only source of contention, being the lowest in the history of the country. The potato crop will yield light. Threshing is being completed, the third crop of alfalfa is secured and other crops are rapidly maturing. The late fruit crop is being harvested. Since the rains pastures have improved wonder fully. Snow has appeared in the mount ains and frost has come ; but farmers have been quite successful and are pre pared for the winter. B. S. PACilE, Ijcal Forecast Official in Charge. 11 Needed a Ileotlat. Mr. Garretxon hat the head of a dig ger squirrel that is a decided curiosity. The squirrel was killed by Mr. Fran cisco on his ranch at Hood River. The right upper incisor is curled like a ram't horn, w hile the left curia inward, the point striking inside of the mouth. The right lower incifor also curvet up ward striking the roof of the mouth, the left tooth being absent. Owing to the shape of the teeth the animal's mouth was forced open to its widest expanse, and as it was fat when killed, the query naturally arises, bow did it eat, and what? Garretsou suggests that owing to the peculiar corkscrew shape of one tooth, that if it bad not been killed in a temperance community it might be in- We are Still In It, and You Know It We are selling more goods than ever, for the simple reason that Our PRICES We pay more for other dealer Consult Your Interests, and Trade With JOLES, Telephone No. 20. ferred that it was a beer drinker, its tooth being but a wonderful provision of beneficent nature to enable it to satisfy its craving, while another gentleman who examined it thought it must have lived on bugs and swallowed them whole, the trituration of the bugs limbs tickling its stomach so that it laughed and grew fat. But jests aside, it is a mystery how it managed to cat, unless it had a nursing bottle. The Feeding- Canal for the Great Elec tricity Factory at Niagara. The power plant proper consists first of an inlet canal situated about a mile and a half up the river from the Ameri can falls. This canal is really a great reservoir into which the water backs. The opening, or great gates, are placed not at the upper, but at the lower, end, the end nearest the falls. This was done because the engineers believed that the current would be too strong if the water was admitted directly from the river. It therefore goes in by a back flow. The canal will always be full. No drouth, no frost of winter bat ever occurred so severe as to interfere materially with the flow of water over Niagara's brink. Into the canal or cut gateways of massive masonry, each con trolled by a heavy gate, and connected with enormous shafts, or penstocks, of iron and steel, some of them of a diame ter as great as seven feet. Through each shaft may be delivered a continu ous force of water equivalent to from two thousand to 'five thousand horse power. Those that turn the turban wheels which keep the massive machin ery of the paper mill in motion, deliver three thousand six hundred horse power. The total capacity of the canal is one hundred thousand horse-power ; and it will be possible to so increase the capacity of this and other plants con trolled by the parent and allied compa nies that ultimately there may be cap tured from Niagara Falls as much as four hundred and fifty thousand horse power. .
