C3J THE DALLES WEEKLY, CHRONICLE, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 30, 1895. The Weekly Gfcfouiele THK DALLIS, OREGON Clubbing List. The Chronicle, which gives the news twice a week, has made arrangements to club with the following publications, and offers two papers one year for little more than the Drice of one : Regular Our price price niicle ui H.

The weather prediction for tomorrow ia warmer. ' Local teachers' institute at Dufar on Feb. 8th and 9th. Program will be pub ' lished next week. The only real estate transaction re corded up to noon today, was a deed to right of way for a ditch, given by the theirs of Wm. O'Dell to William Ehrck ever property in Hood River valley. There is quite a feeling here that it will be Dolph or it will be nobody, That be is reasonably sure to hold bis . eaucus vote, and that bis supporters Till . stay by him unwaveringly to the end. A new dark' horse has suddenly been sprung in the senatorial fight Last night some of Col. Sinnott's friends gathered at the Umatilla House, and after going into caucus, pledged bim three votes. The Col. took his honors with becoming modesty, while the other fellows took theirs straight. Sheriff Driver arrived home from Salem last night. He tells us the scene in the state house is wild and hilarious when the ballot for senator is being taken, the lobby being jammed full of excited humanity. He adds that the Dolph supporters seem to take the mat ter quietly and are all apparently cer tain of eventually winning. .A letter from Mr. J. . Snow, post' master at Dayville, to Capt. John W Lewis, under date of Jan. 21st, says : "We are having beautiful winter wea tner. A little snow squall once in a while, but it goes right off. In fact we kave had no snow to lay a week, below the timber line, and it is as good a win- ter as I 'ever saw here." AH of which hows that our stockmen are getting long nicely, and that there will be no loss to amount to anything during the winter. Monday'! Daily. Charley Fowler, aged about 8 years', - met with an accident while coasting this afternoon, resulting in a broken leg. At a special meeting of the taxpayers of the school district held Saturday afternoon, a special tax of 6 mills was voted. This will raise about $7,700. The thermometers registered 4 above zero at some points in town this morn ing, though the old reliable government instrument at Mr. Brooks' recorded only 8 above. The latter is probably correct. Mr. Birgfeld bas received a telegram from W. S. Ford, manager of the Tittle theatrical troupe, saying that owing to the sickness of Miss Tittle, the dates of the company's showing here would have to be changed. It is believed that Miss Tittell's sickness is not serious, and that the postponement will not be for long. Revival meetings will be conducted at the M. . church during the week, to which all are invited. Quite an interest is already manifested. Mr. Wood uses his own song books, and the singing is good, twenty minutes being devoted to song service every evening. The young people are especially invited to attend. Mr. H. C. Paige is writing the story of the stage robbery on the Canyon City road in 1872, and the arrest, trial, con viction, and final release of Tompkins and three other innocent men, and the tale is being published in the Grant County News. It is very interesting matter. Preparations were made Saturday and yesterday at Hood River by the Lom bard Ice Co. for filling their big ice houses. Aud. Winans went down from here this morning to take charge of the' work. Mr. W. R. Winans tells us the ice is about a foot thick and of fairly 'good quality. If the weather permits, within the next ten days 15,000 tons will be stored at that point. The sleighing and coasting were never better, and although we have been in dulging in those sports for nearly a month, they seem to lose none of their attraction. The coasting on Union street is exceptionally fine, the track be ing like glass and the speed made is astonishing. It is to be hoped that no serious accident will occur to mar the pleasure, yet even with the greatest of care such is likely to happen. Tuesday. Mr. W; H. Williams of 8-Mile made us a pleasant call today. Miss Annie Lang and M. J. Anderson each have a clerkship at Salem. Jos. T. Peters & Co., have cord wood, which is desirable in all respects and respectfully solicit your orders. Mr. W. H. Bishop of Hood River has taken a contract to build a church for the Catholics at Cascade Locks and went to that place yesterdr y to begin work thereon. Mr. Gregory ia teaching a singing school at 8-Mile, having two classes, and is giving eminent satisfaction. Four lessons are given a week, two to each claBS, and flattering progress is being made. Charley Fowler, whose leg was acci dentally broken yesterday, will probably be confined to his bed for some time. The leg was broken in the upper third of the thigh. The accident was caused by running against a cow while coasting Do not forget that th young people of the Congregational society invite their friends to spend this evening with them at the home of Mr.' B. S. Huntington. Arrangements have been made to make the evening a thoroughly enjoyable one. We have received a communication from Portland concerning the Y. P. S. C. E. convention. The matter is well put together and is only refused space because it is not sufficiently boiled down, and it is in such shape that we cannot very well do the boiling. Ice is going into the ice house belong ing to the Lombard Ice Co. at Portland at the rate of nearly two tons a minute. It will be seen from this that if the cold weather holds a few days their big ice houses, with a capacity for 18,000 tons, will be filled to the top. Elder J. H. Hazel is engaged to speak every evening at tne unristian cnurcn. His subject last evening was "Sanctifi tion;" tonight he will discourse con cerning the "Devil ;" tomorrow night he will talk on "Hades;" Thursday night he will give the audience "Hell ;" Fri day night a talk on "Hypnotism ;" Sat urday night "A Drowning Man Saved ;' Sunday morning "A Free for All Race, and Sunday evening "The Experience of a Runaway." A telegram from Bakersfield, Cal. yesterday, states that N. R. Packard ex-county clerk, had been indicted on three charges of perjury and five for embezzlement. This is said by old real dents here to be the same man who at one time was county clerk here and skipped out with several serious charges banging over him. If the town cow could be persuaded to stay at home for a few days until the coasting is over, it may save a few broken bones. There is nothing for the gentle creatures to eat unless they swipe a feed or two from some farmer's aleigh, so we fancy it would be no hardship to keep the cows up a few days and give the children a little freedom. A bobsled on which Mr. F. T. Ryan was coming down Union street last night, upset and in the wreck some one fell on Mr. Ryan, breaking tbe larger bone of his right leg six inches above the ankle. The fracture was reduced by Dr. Logan and though Mr. Ryan will be confined to bis room for a while, time will see him all right again. There has been several disputes here concerning Dolph a actual vow. To settle such differences of opinion 'we would state that Senator Dolph. while having apparently only 42 votes, has in reality 43. Owing to Representative Scott's sickness, some member favorable to Dolph has paired with him, so that neither vote was counted, and 88 votes only were cast. A telephone message from Hood River Bhortly after noon, stated that a regular gale was blowing there, and that the ice in the slough was breaking up in conse quence thereof. It ia to be hoped that thia will not prove quite true as the loss of 15,000 tons of ice or the handling of that much will be felt. The work gives employment to a large force of men for a couple of weeks and that too when every body is idle, except for this kind of work. bpeciai lax collector Harrison says he finds sometimes that those to whom he sends notices that their taxes are de- unquent, nave receipts tor the same, and so make no reply. He urgently re quests that in all such cases that those holding the receipts notify him of the fact ao that the books can be straight ened up and proper credits given, other wise these annoying duns are liable to be repeated. An earnest effort is being made to get the books corrected and it is the duty of every good citizen to assist in the work. Collector Blackman haa sent Deputy E. L. Mima at Pendleton a supply of series 7, No. 21, income tax regulations. A supply of other blanks will soon fol low, which will be distributed to those who are supposed to be liable to pay tbe tax in this division. His division in cludes all the territory east of the Cas cade Locks, the counties being ' Uma tilla, Union, Baker, Crook, Gilliam, Grant, Harney, Malheur, ' Wasco, Sher man. These blanks contain extracts from the law as well as instructions to enable tbe person or corporation to com ply with the law. Tbe tax must be paid by March 1st.

The vote at Salem Saturday showed no change as far as Dolph was concerned, but was otherwise badly scattered. The democrats changed their vote from Ben nett. giving ex-Senator Weatherford their full vote. . The populists stuck to Hare with 10 votes, Moore fell from 11 yesterday to 5, Hermann lost 2 from yes terday, scoring only 8, ex-Attorney Gen eral Williams got 4, Lord 2, Lowell 4, Tongue 1, Barkley 3, Simon 1, absent 2, The fight will be now transferred to Portland for one day, and if on tbe con vening of the legislature Monday the matter is not definitely settled, the chance for a deadlock will be very good. Mitchell Motes. What I shall do this week in the way of news is bothering me somewhat. There has not been a man drunk this week that I. know of, and not a fight Everything is quiet and prosperous, But we always have weather in its vari ous degrees of severity, which we ean boast of just a little. We have no snow near ua, but seven miles to the east there are about six inches, and the same distance to the south there are three feet. Our nights are cold enough to freeze, but our days are splendid. Stock on tbe range is looking very well, and sheep are being fed but little Tbe hymeneal charmer visited us last week, and N. Magee and Anna Gage cast their lots in the matrimonial lottery of life. Both are well known here, Magee is our city marshal ; hia wife haa grown up with ua from a little tot. We wish them well. ' The dancing school ia making some improvement in the general appearance of the dances, which pleases them, for you know the 14th of next month will soon be here, and every one wants to do their best. A very pleasant surprise came to ua last week in the form of Miss Laura Sasser. She had been gone from us more than a - year, and we were glad to have her with us again. A social ' dance given by the Progres sive club ia one of the features of to night's amusements. J, J. Cozart came near having serious trouble with his team, which took fright within half a mile of J. E. Keys' place and ran into a barb fence near tbe house, upsetting the buggy and throw ing Cozart to the ground on one shoul der slightly bruising it. The horses be ing tangled in the fence, the .next thing to be done was to get them ; but no sooner done than off they go for another race of two miles on their backtrack. Soon they we're overtaken, and but a few scratches and slight bruises were to their disadvantage. A law suit came up in the justice court of tnis place one day last week for trepass, Butterfield plaintiff and Shoe maker defendant. The jury waa out about twelve to fourteen hours, and yet they did not agree. A new bearing waa to be had today, but plaintiff failed to put in an appearance. E. V. E. Mitchell, Jan. 21, 1895. Almost a Jail Break. A jail break waa frustrated last night through the watchfulness of John Fitz gerald the janitor of the courthouse, night before last he heard some suBpic loua noises about the jail, and kept a close watch to find out what was going on, but discovered nothing. Last night he was on the look out and his persever ance was rewarded. Hearing a noise in the corridor of the jail, he opened the door and made an examination. He discovered that Tom Moore and Jim Williams, the parties sent up from the Cascade Locks, charged with robbing Catea & Leavens' store, had cut one of tbe bars of their cell door, and bent it to one side so that they could get into the corridor. When he entered the men had got back into their cell. He only made examination enough to see that they could not get out and then went after Deputy Sheriff Kelley. . Get ting back in a few moments they made another examination of the jail, and then proceeded to take care of Williams and Moore, who were brought out, searched and accommodated with some extra irons and another cell. The search brought to light a piece of fine saw blade about six inches long, fastened to a piece of wood for a handle. With this the bar had been cut, and at the back grated door a piece bad been cut out large enough to permit a hand to be reached through. They had sawed the link of the padlock off on one Bide, and if they had been given half an hour more would have severed the other and gained their freedom. Mr. Fitzgerald haa been at the court house for a number of years, and has proved to be a careful and competent man. He deserves especial credit for putting a spoke in the burglars' wheel last night. The other prisoners bad nothing to do with the attempted break. The Pinnacle of Woe. Receiver Biggs, of the land office, be ing a good democrat, is rather enjoying the republican fight in the legislature and never misses an opportunity to give some of his republican friends a dig. i A few days ago when a petition was being circulated here urging Representative Coon to vote for Dolph, Mr. Bigga told the following story as being appropriate to tbe occasion and peculiarly fitting to those who were circulating the petition "When I used to live down on the banks of the Missouri," said he, "there was a family living near that were typ ical Missourians. One winter a sudden cold snap caused the river to freeze over. and at tbe same time the head of this family to discover that there waa no fire wood around the house. So, accom panied Ly his two boys, he went across a channel of the river to an island, as being the most accessible . place from which the woodpile could be replenished, Arriving there tbey cut down a tree. which proved to be hollow, and which coon Lad located as a bybernating place, The boys captured the coon, and tied him securely; intending of course to take him home. In chopping another treea limb struck one of the boys Dreaung one ot ma legs, rne old man leaving tbe boys, started back across tbe river to get a neighbor to help get tbe boy home, but getting too near - an air hole the ice broke and tbe old man was drowned, before the sons' eyea. The un hurt boy, fixing hia brother aa comforta ble aa possible, started for home to get help, but put a rope around the coon's neck and took him along.' The coon not being broke to lead, of course pulled back. When near the shore a neighbor came down seeing the boy waa in trouble of some kind, and inquired con' cermng it. I he boy blurted out 'You see while we was chopping wood, a tree fell on Bill and broke hia leg. Dad, he started to your house to git help and fell through the ice and got drownded, and (giving the rope a yank) thia byar derned coon won't come along neither.' DOLPH HAS 42. But is Unable to Get Enough, to Make a Majority. It was generally expected that the senatorial fight would be settled in Port land Sunday: . that ail the influence possible, would be brought to bear on the bolters to bring them back to a rec ognition of the caucus nominee. Tbe vote Monday shows that if any influence was brought to bear, that influence was powerless to add to Dolph'a strength The vote was practically unchanged from that of Saturday and as far as Dolph was concerned remained exactly the same, It was as follows : Dolph 42, Hermann 9, Moore 3, Hare 10, Lord 4, Weather- ford 8, Williams 8, Lowell 2, Barkeley 2, Mr. Temple ton, who woule have voted for Dolph, waa paired with Mr. Scott, who waa sick, and who would have voted againat him. The situation now seems to be that no argument can be reached as far as Mr. Dolph ia concerned. The Gesangr Vereln. Saturday evening the members of the Gesang Verein, to the number of about sixty, took advantage of the splendid sleighing to make a visit to Mr. Frank Seufert's. There was an abundance of music, of course, which slopped over on the way out and woke the echoes from the bluffs across the river. Arriving at their destination, Mr. and Mrs. Seufert proceeded to make the evening interest ing for their visitors. A large hall near the bouae bad been cleared out for the occasion and dancing was the first thing in order, followed by a feast and more dancing. About 2 o'clock a portion of the merry makers came home, the bal ance staying until nearly 4 o'clock. Everybody enjoyed themselves of course, for they couldn't do otherwise while Mr. and Mrs. Frank Seufert had them in charge. Infring-ment Baits. The Western Electric Company, of Chicago, on December 10, brought suit in the federal court at Springfield, 111'., against the Decatur Telephone Exchange for an accounting. The Decatur ex change is about to begin business with the instrument manufactured by the Harrison Telephone Company. An in fringement of patent is claimed. The Western Electric Company has also brought '. suit for infringement against several other companies in differ ent parts of the United States. Tbe Western Electric Company is a sub-company of the American Bell Telephone Company, and does most of their manu facturing. t-t-s Senator Kalev'a Bill. Senator Raley 's Eastern Oregon insane asylum bill carries an appropriation of $140,000, which is theoretically the same $140,000 left out of the original, ap propriation made last session, of $165, 000 after the $25,000 for the land has been taken oat. It doea away with the building commission as contemplated in the original act and puts the work in the handa of the governor, secretary oi state and state treasurer, as the asylum board. Masquerade Ball. - The Woodmen and Workmen will give a grand masquerade ball the evening of February 22d. There will be four hand some prizes, one each for the best sus tained character lady and gentleman, one each for the best and nanasomeat costume. The ball promises to be the finest ever held in the city, and if all the members of these prominent orders turn out there will be a crowd large enough to fill to overflowing any hall m the city. Acquaintance Mr. Bullion, let me in troduce my friend Jonea. I've just been telling him how you made your pile. Mr. Bullion (slightly deaf) Glad to know you, Major Pyle. Chicago Trio- j une. ' , .

Offices on Washington Street, be tween Second and THEY STAND FIRM. Dolph Neither Gains Nor Loses, But Holds Bis 48. The vote Tuesday shows no material change; it is aa follows: Dolph 42, Hare 10, Hermann 7, Weatherford 8, Lord 5, Moore 2, Williama 10, Lowell 3, Barkley 1, paired Scott and Conn. The situation seems to have resolved itself into dead lock, as far aa Dolph is con cerned. It is quite probable that the bolting republicans will not be particu lar as to who else it may be, and the silver question will be largely lost eight of if Dolph ia eliminated from the fight. It is not probable that either side will yield, at least until the close of the aes sion, and only then in case the Dolph men find some man for whom they can vote. Tbe fight bids fair to last the whole session. Klngsley Items.' Kinoblet, Jan. 27, '95, Thinking an item or two from King' alev would be of interest to some of vour readers, ao here goea. We have fine winter weather and good sleighing, the best for years. . The health of the neighborhood is good. The voters of school district No. 38 held a meeting at tbe achoolhouae on the 26th to vote a tax for school purposes After the ballots were counted it was found that the majority was opposed to a tax. Mr. and Mrs. James Thrall of The Dalles are visiting their many friends at Kingsley. The young folks of the neighborhood gave a grand ball at Kelly's hall on the evening of the 25th, which was a grand success financially and otherwise. There were over forty numbers sold. The farmera are getting tired of the snow and wishing for plowing weather, Aa there has not been much plowed here last fall they will have to rush things in the spring. L. M. A Three Mile Notes. There is very little news of interest to the general reader, but the abundance of snow and good roads ia furniahing un limited enjoyment to all who like to glide over the snow and to hear the sound of sleigh bells mingle with the happy laughter of those who like them selves are out for a little ride. Stock of all kinds are looking un usually well for the length of time the snow haa been on the ground. Fraser lodge, I. O. G. T. are going to give another of their justly popular sociables Saturday evening, Feb. 2d, From the preparation already being made we predict for it a greater success than any previous effort. Mr. W. H. Rodenhiser of Hood River, who has been visiting friends in thia vicinity, returned home today. Mr. Thomas Morgan, who bas just re turned from a business trip near Mt. Hood P. O., informs uh that the snow is about four feet in depth in that locality, that there are no roads open and the only means of communication ia by trail. With many wishes for the continued success of The Uhbomc.'.e' the coming year, I am H. C. Mck. M. A. Fredepburg of Mt. Hood called Tuesday. He said a foot of snow fell there on Tuesday night. In referring to the trouble with Francisco, Mr. Freden burg stated that when he bought the land at sheriff's sale Francisco agreed to vacate, but afterwards changed his mind and claimed the right to hold pos session. Mr. Fredenburg had no objec tions to his remaining on the place, but Francisco was very abusive and object ed to him doing any work on the place, and hindered the work by all means in his power. The Fredenburgs then called upon the law to give them what they considered to be their rights in the premises, but they found the old saying too true that "possession is nine points of the law" and that it is a bard matter to get control of property bought and paid for if another holds possession and wants to act ugly, as they claim Fran cisco did. Glacier. a Specialty. Third. . PERSONAL MENTION. Saturday. Mr. Willard Taylor of Dufur paid ua visit today. J. N. Smith returned to Monmouth yesterday. B. F.

She leaves besides her husband four daughters and two sons. Mr. William Dunbar's Case. The United States supreme court thia morning rendered a decision affirming ' the decision of the lower court in the case of the United States against Wil liam Dunbar. This was a case appealed from Judge Bellinger's court to tbe United States supreme court by Dunbar, who was convicted of smuggling opium and sentenced to serve two years in tbe Multnomah county jail and pay a fine of $5,000. Dunbar was convicted in December,- 1893. He was the first of the members of the Portland smuggling ring to be tried and the trial was on an indictment returned against William Dunbar and Nat Blum. Blum pleaded guilty and Dunbar stood trial and was convicted. He was afterwards tried with M-ulkey, Lotan, and others, on the charge of con spiracy to smuggle Chinese laborers in to the United States, and was again convicted together with C. J. Mulkey, . an exspecial Rgent of the United States treasury department, and P. J. Bannon, a Portland attorney. He bas not been sentenced on this latter conviction, but the case has been . appealed to the United States supreme court and is pending decision by that tribunal. Several months ago Dnnbar, who is under bonds, left this country for China, and it is supposed he is now in that country. Chief deputy United States Marshal Coleman, who is in Washington, this morning telegraphed the substance of the. court's decision. The defendant cannot, however, be reached by tbe -United States officials at present. When he left here it was stated bis trip was to be merely a short ' one and on business. . Dunbar bas been for years in . the commission business in Portland,. and that his present absence ia not in pursuance of any plan to escape punish ment under hia sentence.
