The Dalles city charter as amended
and sent to the legislature passed both
bouses and received the signature of the
governor, Thursday j May it prove an
acceptable valentine.
The rain early this morning was as
warm and abundant as though it be
longed to spring. It was not a modest,
backward drizzle such as winter fur
msbes, but an impulsive downpour.'1
Elder J. H. Miller, the pastor of Oal
vary Church, and editor of the Baptist
Sentinel, arrived here yesterday. He
will preach at their meeting houae (the
old electric light bouse) tomorrow morn
ing and evening.

Moore and Williams, convicted of bur
glarizing Leavens & Cates' store at the
Locks, to Salem ( Monday. ' This sen
tence will just let them out in time to
demand a clerkship in the next session
of the legislature.
The situation at Salem . today is un
changed as far as Dolph is concerned, he
holding his 42. The anti-Dolphites,
. however, served notice by their votes
that they were ready at any time to
' unite on almost any good republican ex
cept Dolph. Lowell was also given to
understand that he was not in it,' which
of course everybody but he knew all the
time. The vote was as follows: Dolph
35, Hare 10, Williams 24, Baley 6, Wea
therford 1, absent 14.
A dispatch from Scranton, Penn., yes
terday announces the death of Judge
Handley of that city. He was the
brother of Major Handley, late of this
city, and was very wealthy. Several
years ago he made a will, leaving all his
property to Eddie Handley, his nephew,
but the latter dying soon afterwards, the
. will was, of course, of no effect. He
leaves no relatives, unless in the sixth
or seventh degree, and it is qnite proba
ble that the dividing of his estate, val
ued at $3,000,000, will cause considerable
litigation. "

The vote at Salem today showed no
material changes. Dolph got 38,JWil-
liams 27, Hare 10, Baley S, Weatherford
1 and 8 members were paired. But four
days remain of the regular session and
the situation instead of seeming nearer
an agreement, ' is more hopeless than
ever. It seems to have settled down into
a sullen determination on both sides,
"Dolph or. nobody" being the watch
word of one faction, "anybody but
Dolph," of the other. - The indications
,'- are that ho senator will be elected.
Tuesday's Dally.

Deputy Collector of Internal Bevenue
Mims came down from Pendleton yester
day to distribute blanks and take the
preliminary steps towards collecting the
income . tax that may be found due in
this neighborhood.- . We do not antici
pate that it will take him long to dis
cover all those whose incomes are $3500
per annum, or over, and that the list
can be carried very easily in his watch.
The Salvation Army invaded the jail
tnis morning ana conducted services
therein. As Otis Savage was the only
person in the jail, he received enough
for a whole hall full of sinners. We
have the utmost respect for religion, but
must confess that the spectacular variety
it does not increase our veneration
If that was part of Savage's sentence, it
all right, but if not he ought to be
allowed a rebate.
From parties who visited the locks
yesterday we learn that the work there
is being pushed very fast, and any one
who has kept any. watch of the progress
of the work is convinced that if the con
tractors are not hampered in any way,
that boats will pass through the canal
before Christmas, and if the high water
is not of long duration, probably in
November. The gates ase beiiie put in
place, and a large force of men are em
ployed at that work.
Down near Irving in the Willamette
valley a day or so ago, three men were
plowing, and one of them turned up a
nest with a squirrel in it. He stopped
his team and gave chase to the squirrel.
His companions stopped their teams and
joined in the chase over the plowed
-ground. Then one of the . teams got
frighteued and run away, and that scared
the other teams and soon all three- of
them were flying over the field. After
considerable damage was done the teams
ere caught and the plowing was pro
ceeded with. The squirrel was killed. -
Sheriff's Sales.
The sheriff sold three pieces of prop
erty today -to satisfy judgments.
In the case of Disbrow vs. Coe, 20

Mitchell, Feb. 11, 1895.
A. Daireront Grade.
The accident to Abe Foley's team on
the Haynes hill last week, ought to
show our authorities the necessity of
placing a strong railing along the dan
gerous points on the grade, the same as
has been done on the grade on the east
side of the Hood river bridge. -The ac
cident that happened to E. D. Calkins
about three years ago, when his horse
and wagon went over the bluff on the
head of the grade, caused a railing to be
put up at the point ; but other danger
ous points remain unprotected. By the
way, Mr. Calkins never received a cent
from the county for the loss of the
wagon and the crippling of his horse.
Glacier.
The accident mentioned as happening
to Calkins was a peculiar one in its re
sults. Mr. Calkins, who is a cripple,
having left one of his legs on a southern
battlefield, was coming up the grade in
a one-horse back, his wife being with
him. Just at the head of the grade the
horse became frightened and commenced
to back. Mrs. Calkins jumped out, and
catching Mr, Calkins as he was attempt
ing to get out, pulled him over the
wheel just as the hind wheels of the
wagon went over the bluff. The horse
made a surge backwards, and over the
whole outfit went, wagon first, falling a
distance of forty feet. The wagon was
wrecked and the horse rolled on down
the hill, getting clear of the wreck, for a
distance of 150 feet further, and only
stopped from coming in contact with a
fir tree. With the assistance of some of
the people living at the planer, the
horse was got down to the bottom of the
bluff, and although badly bruised, was
soon in condition to be used. The grade
at that point was fixed afterwards by
having a heavy railing built; but, as
the Glacier says, Calkins lost his wagon
and had a mighty close call for his life.
. Fruits of the Northwest.
The Great Northern railroad has just
issued, in connection with the O. B. &
N.-lines, an elaborate special fruit num
ber of the bulletin which it has been
customary to publish monthly dur
ing the past several years. It is devoted
to the fruit interests of the Pacific North
west, and ' comprises 82 clearly printed
pages, magazine size. It is published on
fine book paper and embellished with a
great many engravings and other illus
trations. In make-up and general ap
pearance the bulletin is unexceptionable ;
in matter it presents a grand variety of
valuable and useful information about
the fruit interests of Oregon, Washing
ton and Idaho. . Among the illustrations
are a frontispiece of immense Hood
Biver apples, half natural size (the
weight of the apples being three pounds) ;
a heavily laden pear tree, seven years
old, and many others of the kind, whic
are designed to show the best develo.

She Remores Her Hat.
Editor Checnicle Had not the edi
tor of Thb Chkoniclb evidently misun
derstood the writer in an article pub
lished in the Tribune anent the theater
hat, and were not this a subject upon
which I have always favored a reform,
would not ask the privilege of correcting
the statemont through the columns of
your paper. Personally I never attend
a theater without removing my hat, as
consider this a courtesy due the audi'
ence and the management. ' I wish to
quote the words of the article, to which
reference has been made, not that
its misinterpretation is at all serious.
but for the more important reason that
I desire to do all in my power to abolish
a selfish and vain habit which is charac
teristic of the thoughtless woman.
The quotation follows :
"Resolved, That .the wearing of i
theater bat ia a nuisance, is a subject
undebatable. Every one is on the same
side of the question, for in truth it has
but one side. The big theater hat is
nuisance, and always has been. Thea
ter-goers of Missouri, Illinois, Indiana
and New York have introduced bills i
to their state legislatures making it
misdemeanor for women attending the
theater to wear high hats. Although
these people have the sympathy of all
other theater goers, nevertheless they
are working on the wrong track. It
IS
remembered that. legislatures have en
deavored in the past to enforce laws
against the wearing of mother hubbards
and the appearance of ballet girls in
tights, and all without effect.- The only
way to fight the big hat nuisance is to
enlist the woman in the3warfare. Until
women are willing to recognize that it .is
merely an act of selfishness and a dis
regard for others' comfort, to do that
which discommodes peopie without per
sonal gain, and especially after so many
objections have been raised on the sub
ject, until then, theaters will resemble
millinery openings and general discom
fort will increase. Any unselfish woman
of good sense will remove ber hat in or
der to add to the pleasures of others,
rather than allow her vanity to interfere
with her neighbor's comfort."

Death of L. Newman.
This morning Mr. L. Newman, who
usually goes down to his store at quite
an early hour, on account of having a
bakery connected therewith, faile'd to
make his appearance as usual, and a
messenger was sent to the house' for
him. The door of the bedroom was
locked, and getting no response to their
repeated calls, his family became
alarmed and City '' Marshal Blakeney
was sent for, who procured a ladder and
gained entrance to the room through the
window. Mr. Newman was found in
bed in an unconscious condition. Dr.
Logan was called in, and did everything
possible for the stricken man, but with
out avail, and at 11 o clock, without
having regained consciousness, his spirit
passed away.
Mr. Newman was an old resident of
The Dalles, having come here in 1859 or
1860, and has been in business almost
continuously since that time. Mr. New
man was a remarkably well-informed
man, and the writer calls to mind many
pleasant and instructiye conversation
had with him, especially concerning his
experience aa a merchant in Russia and
Siberia. . He was known by nearly every
resident of Wasco county, and he com
manded the respect and earned the es
teem of all who knew him. He was a
member of Temple lodge, A. O. U. W.,
of this city, and one of the oldest mem
bers of the lodge.
Mr. Newman was about 65 years of
age, and the cause of bis death was apo
plexy. Besides his bereaved wife,' he
leaves two sons and two daughters to
mourn his loss.
The funeral will take place Sunday.
