Salem is holding her city election to Jay. Claude Gatch, son of I'rof. T. M. lialch, formerly of this city, is a candi date fr Mayor. This is the night when The Dalles goes a dancing. There are three dances this evening which considering the times iii doing uite well. The Congregational club of Oregon will hold its annual meeting Nov. 2?th, at Oregon City. A very interesting pro gram has been prepared for the occasion. The law library and office furniture of John I.. Aver, the "ex-kid boss-' in political way of Oregon, was sold in Portland Thursday. The amount real ized was 13i.S5. Ixm't forget the soiree given by the Orchestral I n ion this evening at the opera house. Doors open at S o'clock. Puncing commences at N :30. Gentle men, "0 cents ; ladies free. A young people's whist club is lieing formed in the city. The young folks do not propose the older ones are going to have all the fun, and arrangements for the new club will soon be completed. The pulpit themes of Rev. J. Wbisler at the Methodist Episcopal church, for tomorrow will be, in the morning, 'Life's Value Increased," St. John x -.10 ; in tie evening, "The Soul's Affinity for God," I'sa. xl:l. AH are cordially in vited. The Gesung Verein will give a grand ball at the Baldwin Opera House Thanksgiving eve, Nov. 2H. The music will lie furnished by The I ulies Orches tral Vnion and special preparations are lieing made to have it a grand affair. Tickets can be procured from members at 75 cents a piece. If Mt. Hood has any pride at all she won't allow Mt. Rainier to make such a funs and get all the credit for being pro gressive. Old Hood could get up just as good an entertainment as its northern competitor any time if it only would. Rainier lias had better training, though, from living in a boom country. The question for debate at the literary society Monday evening will be "Wbs Grant a greater general than I,ee?" The speakers on the affirmative are Tru man Butler and Miss Smith, and on the negative Ir. Sanders and Miss Davis. Tlie society is prosering, aud those w ho like that sort of thing w ould do well to become members. A sure sign that Thanksgiving is clot-e at hand can tie found in the notices of turkey rallies. The turkey has no friends these days. Everybody is against him. Wherever he puts his head be is liable to leave it. The same quotation from Milton, which the New York Tribune thought fitted David B. Hill can be applied to the turkey, "Whichever way I turn is Hell." An amateur theatrical club has beeu organized, and will b beard from dur ing the coming winter. The club will give a performance In the near future. The organization is composed mainly of members who have nppeared several times in amateur performances. Plays have been sent for, and practicing will soon begin. M. T. Nolan is director and stage manager, while J. T Hamp shire will act as business manager. Mr. W. H. Wilson was today ap pointed acting prosecuting attorney dur ing Mr. Jayne's severe sickness. Mr. Jayne is still no better, and his physi cians thought it unlikely Le would be suflicieutly well for several days. His friends sympathize with hiai, and hope a speedy recovery will lie given him. Mr. Jayne wished Mr. Wilson to act temporarily in bis place, and accord ingly Judge Bradshaw made the ap pointment. Monday Pally. The weather forecast for tomorrow is rain and slightly cooler. License to wed was issued today to Wallace K. Husbands and Alice M. Koot. At 2 o'clock this afternoon the selec tion of a jury to try the case of the State against Savage began. At 4 o'clock the attorneys wore busily engaged in ques tioning s juror, aa to bis qualifications, nd if they succeed in agreeing upon him and get two more tonight, they will have three to start with tomorrow. j The case pt the State against Savage is j up for trial this afternoon, the selection I of a jury being the business in hand.! This will piohably occupy considerable ' time, indeed we doll be if a jury can hel ohtuined. j W. B. llurlhurt, who has U-en em ployed as engineer in tlie Johns' planing j mill, has now recovered from nn accident j ty which he lost a finger nail. lie was foi tunute enough to ho d a policy in the fidelity, und received $14 ou account of the accident. Tease A Mays have kindly given the ladies of the Good Intent Society the use of their center show window until after Christmas. Until after Thanksgiv ing they w ill sell cakes, pies, and most anything in that line, and from that time on may be found all aorta of arti cles suitable for Christmas gifts, which they will sell very cheap. The case of the tate against Broad bent is in such a shape that the defend ant is likely to go clear without a trial. The law says that the indictment must tie set aside on motion of the defendant if the names of the wituesses who ap peared before the grand jury are not en dorsed upon the indictment. In the case of Broadlient, it seems the name of one immaterial witness was not so in dorsed. That the defendant cannot be tried upon that indictment seems not only possible, but exceedingly probable. 'Tuesday liu!y. Thanksgiving Thursday. Get your turkey and fixins and prepare to enjoy them. Brine-ess Bismarck died at 3 o'clock this morning. She was married to Bis marck in 147. As there will be a general cessation of bnsiness Thursday, The Chkonhi.e will not lie issued on that day. There will be union sei vices at the Congregational church Thanksgiving morning. Sermon by Rev. Whisler. The Taine Bnglish Literature class met at Dr. Shackelford's last evening and passed the time in reading Julius Caesar. The Smith Bros, desire to state that there w ill be no dancing school Thurs day evening. Begular dance Saturday evening. An entertainment will be given by the Kindergarten, under the direction of Miss Hall at Keller's hall Friday, Nov. :10th, at 2 p. bb. K. J. Lake was this morning appoint ed official reporter by Judge Bradshaw and will take down the testimony and proceedings in the Savage case in full. We acknowledge tlie receipt of the Mitchell Monitor, but somehow before we got to take a look at it it disappeared. Someone with curiosity largely developed just swiped it. The only thing we had time to notice about it was, that the print was not good. The Mitchell Monitor, it is said, was started to aid the people of that neigh borhood in getting a new county formed from portions of Crook, Grant, and per haps Wasco, though it is said that the county seat question at present is an ob jection to taking in any part of Wasco. The people of Harney county, accord ing to Mr. J. M. Vaughan, deputy sheriff, are in a prosperous condition, says the Portland Sul. During the last six months over fiOO.OOO worth of beef cattle have been marketed, besides a large numlier of mutton sheep. Taking it all together, this inland county, the largest in the state, seems to feel less effect of the prevailing hard times than other more favored localities. The teachers' institute will be held here next month, beginning on the 12tb and lasting three days. Heretofore the institutes have always been held in the i turner time, and the present departure is a pet idea of the county school super intendent. The results, will, we think, show that the change is a good one. There is plenty of room in Wasco county for one-half the dissatisfied of Dakota and Nebraska. Our foothills are the finest orchards lands in the world, and there is an immense area of them. Santa Clara county, California, shipped last year $6,000,000 worth of fruit, and it was grown on 31,000 acres, or one town ship and a half. Foreign newspapers have been shut out of Turkey , on account of the articles con tained in them concerning the Armenian outrages. It now transpires that the first account iustead of being exaggerated did not tell half the truth ; ten thousand of the helpless inhabitants were mur dered. As a result of the bodies lieing left unburied, cholera has broken out in a malignant form. Mr. M. II. Nickelsen, clerk of school district No. 3, was in the city today on business connected with the building of the new schoolhouse. The bonds of the district were sold some time since, but the money only arrived Saturday. Work ou the building w ill now be pushed and by next summer Hood River should have one of the best, most convenient and best equipped school buildings in the state. W. P. Watson of Hood River lias been visiting Memaloose island, and thinks it the most wonderful cemetery in the country. He estimates the number buried there as not less than 5,000. He is also convinced that the high water last summer was the highest that has oc curred in the Columbia fur hundreds of years, basing his belief on the position of the bones on the island that were lie low the present high water mark. The follow ing is a list of the officers nominated at Hood River last Saturdav. The election for the incorioration of the town will le held IV-c. 4th : Mayor, i CM. Woiford; aldermen, F. II. Button,! Elmer Rand, Dr. Watt, S. E. Bartmcss, T. C. Dallas, A. ii. Hartley : Treasurer, j M. H. Nickelsen; recorder, J. K. Socstie ; i marshal, K. S. OUnger. This is the) regular ticket, hut it Is probable there may lie an opposition ticket placed in the field. The selection of a jury in the Savage case began last night and six jurors were chosen before the panel was exhausted. The state used one of its peremptory challenges, and the defense three. This leaves the state two aud the defense three of this kind of challenges. A special venire was issued and returned this morning, but as most of those sum moned lived in The Dalles and had formed an opinion concerning the case, the jury did not grow very rapidly. At lie I.orka. Saturday morning in response to an invitation extended by the D. P. A A. N. Co. to meet the delegation from the chamber of commerce and other gentle men of Portland, who were to visit the locks that day, atxmt twenty gentlemen of this city boarded the Regulator at 7:30 bound for the Cascades. The run down was w ithout incident, save that a heavy fog caused a slight delay, near the mouth of the Klickitat. The Dalles party ar rived at the Locks about 1 1 o'clock, and proceeded to make an inspection of the works on their own account. After an hour spent in this manner everybody struck out to find something to eat and this was easily found at the elegant little restaurant owned and managed by Dr. Candiana. An elegant dinner putevery- one in good humor, and a further inspec tion of the work was made. It has been some time since the writer hereof was at the Locks, and the amount ot work accomplished in the past season seemed for this reason perhaps the more striking. It is claimed by some that the Day Bros, had an extra lot of men at work Saturday. Whether this is true or not, the fact remains that an immense amount of work has been done, and that tbe work is now progressing very fast. The fear that the contractors will not complete the work, is without founda tion. Ten per cent of the total amount earned by the contractors, is kept back by the government, until the contract is completed, and as this will amount to nearly $200,000 it will of itself be suffi cient to compel the completion of the work. Besides this the laBt work is not going to be very difficult. The trenches are now about completed above the upper bulkhead, and out as far as the walls will be built. These walls will be in place within the next ninety days. At the same time the excavations are being made for the terminal walls at tbe lower end of the canal, and these can also be speedily finished. All that is to be done besides this is the excavation at the two ends of the canal to deep water, and the removal of the bulkheads. At the upper one there is considerable work to be done, but everything is well in hand and we believe if pushed the works will be completed next fall, by this time. One gate is on the grounds ready to be put together and in place. The walls for the locks are all completed and the whII for the lift gate is rapidly approaching completion. It is a email job comparatively to put the gates to gether and get them Into place. Major Post is insisting upon the work being completed as rapidly as men can do it, and the Days are certainly re s(Knding to the call for speed. At 1 :30 the Dalles City arrived with about 100 gentlemen from Portland, who at once proceeded to investigate the work, and many were the expressions of surprise by those who had never before visited the locks, at the magnitude of the works. At 3 o'clock The Dalles del egation left for home. In closing this brief article, we feel that some a know led men t is due the Day Bros, for their valuable assistance to the D. P. A A. N. Co. in opening a way for tbe new line of the portage rail road. They moved an immense pile of stone at their own expense, and after the track was laid sent their dump cars, loaded w ith gravel, from their pits to ballast it. They have extended every aid and courtesy to the portage road and to the D. P. A A. N., and the people of The Dalles owe them a debt of gratitude (or keeping the portage open for the boBt line. Lieutenant Taylor, who is in charge of the work, has also proved uniformly the friend of the people. Among those who went down from here we noticed Messrs. Robert Mays, Z. F. Moody, Geo. Kuch, S. L. Brooks, Orion Kinersly, Dr. Shackelford, M. T. Nolan, L. K. Crowe, Hugh Glenn, A. Bettingen, Sr., Capt. J. W. Iwis, Douglas Dufur, S. Wilkinsen, K. Schanno, I. I. Burget, A. S. Macallister, besides several others, whose names we cannot now recall. Senator Dolpli accompanied the party from Portland, and from the way he tramped arouud over the walla, we think he was pleased with the condition of the work. Just when the canal will be completed cannot be told, but if it is crowded as fast as it ought to be, certainly six months steady work would suffice. VKTAXOTHKIMU'IKJLAUV MAIN A 4KOWK At.AIN THK IC TIMS UK ItOltllrKN. l'eoile lining lloiuo rrom tlie Itaare Hear the Hurglara. anal th a Marshal Mikn a Capture. Saturday night about midnight, when the so'inJ of the violin was hushed and the clarionet and piano ceased troubling, the gay gallants or some cf thciu escort ing the fair ladies to their respective homes passed by Mays A Crowe's store. Suddenly as they passed there was a rattle as it falling hardware a sharp shrill exclamation such as an angry or annoyed person might make. It was evident that burglars were at their old job robbing Mays A Crowe. The gentle man and ladv who heard the noise at once retraced their steps and finding City Marshal Blakeney informed him of their discovery. He at once called a half a dozen or more citizens to his aid and surrounded the building, sending one for Johnny Hampshire to get the keys to the store. Two or more ruea were armed with clubs and stationed at every door or window by which the burglars might escape. With nerves at their highest tension and muscles rigid each boiJ w atcher stood at his post ready to lieef the first thing that put in an appearance. Finally the key was procured, and Marshal Blakeney and several others en tered. By this time the excitement of the watchers was intense, and directly whet. ? heavy fall was heard on the in side, and the triumphant notes of victory were beard announcing the capture of the thieves the guards broke for the door to share in the capture. Marshal Blakeney came out dragging a chain the other end of which was fastened around the burglar's leg. A s the crowd gathered Jim held his capture up, in spite of his sbriekd, and when they saw it was a rat that had gotten into a trap set by Fletch Faulkner, they dropped their clubs and without having '.he riot act read to them, dispersed. The burglar suffered death without the aid of the grand jury. Kepnrt of the Orand Jury. Following is the report of the grand jury as presented to the court last even ing. The gr.nd jury has been dis charged from further attendance : In the Circnit Court of the State of Ore gon for Wasco County. In the matter of the final report of the grand jury for the November term, 1894. To the Honorable, the Circuit Court, above named : We, the grand jury for tlie November term, 1894, respectfully show to the court that we have been in session eleven days, and inquired into all crimes committed in this county as they have been brought to our notice, and as a re suit of our labors have returned into court thirteen indictments and have returned five not true bills. We have visited the various county officials and have been courteously re ceived bv all and have been Bhown everv facility in the examination of the books and accounts of the county officers. Wa have also visited and inquired into the condition and management of the city jail and csunty prison, and find the city jail is secure and neatly kept. Our county jail is well kept, and proba bly as secure as its construction will ad mit, and while its ventilation is poor, and the facilities for keeping prisoners secu.e is faulty, we would not at this time recommend any considerable out lay on improvements, believing that in the near future, necessity will demand the building of a new structure for jail purposes. We visited the county hospital for the care of and treatment of the indigent poor, and found the inmates contented and happy with their present surround ings. Our county poor house is neatly kept. Tbe inmates are cleanly, and upon personal inquiry found that they are provided with an abundance of wholesome food, comfortably clothed and plenty of bedding. Having disposed of all the business that has been brought before us, and having no further business to transact, we respectfully asked to be discharged. Dated Dalles City, Or., Nov. 23, 1894.

Since I wrote you last many improve ments have been changing our little town into a very neat little village. One more high water and we well, I expect The Dalles will try to hide its' insignificance. A sidewalk trom Oaks' store to the barber shop in lower town accommo dates footmen, and sometimes horses, on their weary way from one town to the other. A printing office, that puts out an ex cellent sheet, the first of which was dis tributed among the citizens of town to day, is another improvement. It comes out with good print, clean, newsy and spicy: one of the best papers in the county, and well worthy the name of Mitchell Monitor. One furniture shop is completed, and another fast nearing completion. A butcher shop is but a few days old, but furnishes meat sufficient for the town. A barber shop accommodates those that are in need of head-grooming. The W. C. T. L". has organized hero, with a membership of ten or twelve. Am sorry to say our literary society is a thing of the past since the leader, Dr. Hemlock, lias been caught in the meshes of matrimony. Perhaps by Christmas times he will have had time to regain his accustomed composure to again fan into life the Mitchell literary society. Freezing weather has visited us, and to such an extent as to burst water pipes in town. K. V. Mitchell, Or., Nov. 21, 1894. Court Notes. Tbe following proceeings were had this morning in the circuit court : State against Southwell, continued for the term. State against Broadbent, motion to set aside indictment, because the names of all the witnesses examined before the grand jury were not indorsed on the in dictment, was filed. State against E. Martin, demurrer filed. State against Savage, motion for change of venue denied, exceptions taken and allowed. Application was then make to have the regular panel of jurors filled before selecting the jury. This was denied, exception taken and allowed. Motion was then filed for a continuance for the term so that a full panel would be on hand from which to select a jury; motion denied. Amo tion was then made that the court in struct the clerk to fill the panel from the tax roll before selecting a jury. Protest was then filed against going to trial without a full panel. State against Dan Maloney ; fined $100, which wag at once paid. Iiuaineaa Men's Trip to the Locka. The Regulator left this morning with a delegation of Dalles citizens who wished to view the work at the Cascade Locks and to meet the excursion from Port land, which included the chamber of commerce, the military officers from Vancouver and Senator Dolph. It was a thoughtful act of kindness on the part of the steamboat company to furnish trans portation to all who wished to go and it is to be regretted more did not avail themselves of the opportunity. Quite a number attended however. The day was raw and foggy and the beautiful scenery on both sides of the Columbia hid from view. We hope this visit will be productive of much good and show to the people of Eastern Oregon the exact status of the work being done. Senator Dolph will le asked to state fairly and squarely if the present contract provides for the completion of the locks or whether there is any loop-hole for dis honesty to enter. A full report of the trip and the proceedings at the I.ock8 will appear in Monday's Chkomci e. Another Hrnaatlou. A sensation was caused Friday evening by the grand jury bringing in three in dictments against F.dward Martin charging him with issuing fraudulent county warrants. Mr. Martin has been deputy county clerk for several years and has held the confidence and friend ship of the people to a marked degree. Everyone has faith in his innocence, and all the circumstances, however dark, will be satisfactorily cleared at the trial. His friends firmly believe his hands are free from any guilt, and will standby him through the ordeal, for such it is even to an innocent man. The indict ments were read to Mr. Martin last evening, and he was given till Monday morning to plead. Mr. Martin was the democratic candi date for county clerk at the late election and KiIled a large vote throughout the county. Otla Natage Mania a Change of tenila. A motion was filed this morning by Huntington and Wilson and A. S. Ben nett, attorneys for Otis Savage, asking for achange of venue to Sherman county. The affidavit, accompanying the motion, stales the fact that a fair and impartial trial cannot be had in Wasco county and that the interest of justice could be better served by the case being heard in Sherman county. The affidavit further states Savage was informed by una of the county officers that a not true bill had been found against him and that this fact becoininir known throughout the city occasioned much talk and com ment. It is stated also that some of the county olli -era w ho are intimately con nected with the serving of judicial com mands are active in tlie prosecution of the, defendant and for this aud other reasons he firmly believes a fair trial could not be given him here. Mr. V. H. Wilson, on the part of the state, asked for time to prepare counter affi davits and was given till half past one this afternoon. From that time the hearing of the motion was postponed till half past seven this evening. Hilarious Boys. Three boys from 12 to 14 years of age were arrested by Marshal Blakeney this morning on a telegram from Chief of Police Minto of Portland. They were evidently taking a trip without their parent's consent. When put in the cor ridor of the city jail the boys had a large can of sardines, a paper sack full of crackers and about five pounds of cheese. Just to be doing something they opened the canof sardines, emptied the contents on the floor, and spreading the cheeBe and crackers over it proceeded to have a war dance on top of the mess. Marshal Blakeney soon put a stop to that fun, and compelled them to scrub the floor, after which he locked them up in a cell while the floor dried. They did not like that kind of treatment, but it wa just what they have needed evidently for for some time. PERSONAL MENTION. BHtuMay. Mrs. Alice McCauley is visiting friends in the city.
