Wednesday's Daily.
License to marry was issued today to
William Rankin and Annie Parser.
A number of friends took possession of
Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Crossen's home last
nicrht. and made them elad they were
alive. - .'
Mr. David Garrison brought to this
office this afternoon several varieties of
wild flowers, picked onthe hill back of
town. The purple iris seemed to be the
most abundant.
With the season of '94 and its terrible
floods past, and the Oregon legislature
incapable of harm, the owners of fish'
wheels can breath easier and prepare to
get even for last year's terrible losses
Floyd Harmon's bear, which has been
taking a sleep for a' couple of months,
is again alive. He had his appetite with
him when he woke up, and he certainly
looks as though the winter had not
agreed with him.
The first wire of the new telephone
was stretched this afternoon, the work
being commenced at the corner of Wash
ington and Third streets. It is expected
that the line will be completed within a
month, but at the very latest it will be
in operation by April 1st.
. A telegram from Salem this afternoon
at 3 :30 says : The house has indefinite
ly postponed all fish bills, and no
changes will be made in the fish laws
this session This settles the attack on
the fish wheels for another two years at
least, and settles it right at that.
The weather is warm and soring like.
most too much so for the safety of the
fruit. The buds are already beginning
to swell. Our climate is, however, not
very uncertain and wild flowers in Feb
ruary are not uncommon. So that while
'an early season always brings more or
less risk to the fruit crop, the chances
are largely in favor of it coming out all
'right.
A hunter near Sylvania, Georgia.
writes to the Atlanta Constitution,
description of a strange animal he found
in the swamp. It had a head and bill
like an immense duck, a body like
lizard, legs like a turkey, only larger.
It made a noise between the quacking of
a duck and the hissing of a snake. The
report does not state the brand of snake
poison the hunter had with him.
Some of the papers submitted by the
applicants for teachers' certificates were
very fine, but there were two questions
that not one applicant answered cor
rectly. The first was "Who was the first
territorial governor of Oregon?" One
answer was Moody, which was as near
correct as any. The other question was,
"Who are the present cabinet officers
One answer was "All good men," which
would entitle the applicant to be marked
2 on a scate of 10.
In McCIure's Magazine for March the
new remedy fpr diphtheria, which prom'
iBes to reduce the most malignant of die
eaues to comparative barmleseness, will
be described in its manufacture and ap
plication, and with numerous pictures,
by Dr. Hermann M. Biggs and Dr. Wil
liam. H Park. The writers, through
their official connection with the New
York City Board of Health, are per
sonally engaged in the production of the
diphtheria anti-toxine, and write, there
fore, from the fullest information
Tnorsday'i Daily
It is E. J. Collins, Son & Co. now.
. Union Whist Club will be postponed
for one weak, on account of the ball.
There was a light rain last night, just
enough to make the ground sticky.
Mies Alma Schmidt and Mr. . Long
will assist Mr. York in furnishing the
music for the Smith Bros.' dances. '
Are you going to the masquerade?
Why of course, wouldn't miss being
there to guess who is who, not for any
thing.
A Mr. Frazier of Pendleton has a pac
ing horse known as Jap, with a record
of 2.12. Salisbury is trying to buy him,
but it takes $5,000 to do it.

Mr. Eugene Gordon wishes to sell his
household furniture, carpets, cooking
utensils, etc' This is a rare opportunity
to secure a bargain. Inquire at Pease &
Maya.-. " , " ' ; -..
Those who attended the social given
by the young people of the Congrega
tional society at the home of W. S,
Myers last night were not in the least
disappointed in the pleasure afforded
them. Everyone 'joined heartily in the
games, as well as J n the lunch, and on
departing; expressed a desire to attend
many of the same nature.'
Mr. J. P. Gilhousen leaves tomorrow
morning for Kahoka, Missouri, and will
ero bv the Southern Pacific route. He
exoects to be away for five or six
months.
Justice Davis has about thirty cases
on his docket, mostly suits for the col
lection of notes given for insurance. He
oueht to be able to job-lot the whole
business in one suit.
The East Oregonian says ''that the
carpenters are adding much to the ap
pearance of Mr. Lowell's residence in
Pendleton.' ' Evidently he does not take
much stock in the action of the caucus
bolters.
There is going to be a big crowd at
the masquerade tomorrow night, and
there are going to be more maskers and
finer costumes than ever seen on a like
occasion in this city. There is going to
be fun, and you want to be there to see
it.
The contract of the Day Bros, exptres
on the 1st of March, but as it provides
that in case of high water the time shall
be extended, the talk of the contract be'
ing forfeited is all foolishness. The high
water was certainly here last summer,
enough at least to comply with that pro
vision of the contract.
The local items have reached a dead
lock, and the discouraged reporter can't
jar one loose from eitner side, wnen
gentle spring shall come, and the roads
get good, it ma; be possible to run
one or two good items down occasion
ally, but just now they are an unknown
quantity, and hard to catch.
There is some talk of the legislature
compromising on Governor Moody for
senator at the last moment if the anti-
Dolphites remain firm. This latter part
of the program is quite certain, and if
Mr. Moody's chances of election are as
good as the chances of the bolters stand
ing firm, he will be the next senator. -'
The lower house of the California leg
islature has passed a bill prohibiting
the wearing of hats or bonnets in public
places, of amusement. Both houses
have passed the bill prohibiting the.
manufacture, sale or distribution of
pigarettes. This latter bill passed the
senate by a unanimous vote, and
house by a vote of 54 to 12.
Senator Smith's bill providing for reg'
ulating the railway traffic between this
point and Celilo was the special order in
the senate for this morning at 10:45.
This bill ought to pass, but it is not
at all likely that it can escape both
scylla and Unary bdis. if it passes one
house, the other will kill it, and indeed
there is some doubt as to its conptitu
tionality.
, A mil tia regiment in the north of Ire
land usually drilled in a level field close
to the side of a river. One day the drill
sergeant, who was given to blustering,
and was by no means cnoice in bis re
marks to the men, met a young recruit
coming late to drill. "You're late
again," roared the sergeant. "Go down
to the river and fall in!" "Oh, ,no,'
said the recruit; "I wish you to under
stand that I did not enlist in the Cold'
stream Guards."
Mr. N. Harris has a couple of very at
tractive little figures in his corner win'
dow. One is a gay' little danseuse,
standing daintily on one toe, and kick
ing her robe a la Cerito, just enough to
expose the point, of a pretty little foot,
and the other a gentleman from Africa,
an acute brunette, dressed in black
tights and picking a banjo. These are
very pretty figures, but the most at
tractive figures about Harris' store are
very small ones that indicate his prices.
Examine both and see.
Friday'! Dally.
The Western Union is having new
poles put up through the city, and.they
are fine ones too.
The ' special meetings, which have
been carried on for the past month in
the M. E. church, closed last night.
This has been a perfect spring day,
one that would make good old father
George glad be was alive, if he was alive,
to celebrate his birthday.
The literary society will meet this
evening at 7 :30 o'clock in the Congrega
tional church. Members will please
notice the hour of meeting, and en
deavor to be present promptly at 7 :30.
The Knights of Pythias masquerade
at Arlington, the night of the 19th, was
largely attended and was a decided suc
cess. Quite a number went up from
this city to attend it.
The Daughters of the Revolution are
holding a continental congress in Wash
ington. These ladies must be getting
quite antiquated and yet we did not see
Susan B. Anthony's name in the list.
This being a legal holiday, although
not a nonjudicial day, but little if any
business is being transacted in or about
the courthouse. The. great American
flag was on top there today, a thing of
beauty and a joy forever.
Postmaster Crossen stood manfully at
his post until after L, o'clock .today, ob
livious of the fact that it was a legal hol
iday. " Strange how .long it does take a
democrat to catch on to any knowledge
that lias to be gained by reading.
Isn't itT -
Owing to it being a holiday the tele
graph office was not open this afternoon,
so that the only news came by telephone.
We did not get the full voten detail,
but Dolph lost two more votes and Wil
liams did not gain any. Patterson of
Marion left Dolph and voted for Lord,
and Mintie of Clackamas left Dolph and
voted for Fulton.
. The masquerade tonight is going to
attract the largest crowd ever gathered
on a like occasion in this city, for those
who do not go in character will attend
for the purpose of watching those who
do. There will be some very handsome
costumes, and there will be lots of them.
Don't forget that the grand march com'
mences at 8 :30 o'clock and not a moment
later. ; ": "'
Tbe Astoria delegation nave made a
bard fight to pass a law prohibiting the
catching ot salmon by wheels. Wednes
day the whole collection of 'fish bills
were indefinitely postponed, but yester
day by some means Curtis got one of
these anti-fish-wheel bills up and had It
passed through the house. It is not
probable it will get through the senate,
but if it should the governor, if he is at
all just, would not sign it.
The Salem Statesman today comes out
strongly for Lord for senator, but says
while it is for Lord first, it is for any
good republican rather than that no elec
tion should take place. This is the view
of every sensible republican in the state.
It is certain that Dolph cannot be elected
unless he is elected by democratic or
populist votes, and there is not much
danger of that, as he is a red rag for the
wild members of both those parties.
Mr. Parrot is over from Goldendale.
He is trying to be a father to a flying
machine, and we hope that like the great
state of Oregon it will volat alit propriis
Mr. Parrot is confident that his machine
will fly and has promised us a cabin
passage to Goldendale and return as
soon as be gets his machine perfected.
Someone has said that the great trouble
with flying machines is that they all
have a defective flew, and that seems to
be the size of it.

If so, perhaps it doesn't make any difference to you -whether

. Did Not Go.
The legislature did an immense amount
of work yesterday. " Under tbe rules
each member was allowed to call up one
bill and put it upon its final passage.
Quite a number were passed, but a
few were unceremoniously squelched.
Among the latter was the bill providing
for holding a constitutional convention,
Lyle's bill for the creation of Sutton
county was another measure that failed
to get through. McGreer's bill fixing
bounty for destroying wild animals, died
without the bounty. Bancroft's bill per
mitting divorce where either party was
insane, was lost. .
Dolph Loses Two.
The vote at Salem today showed a
prophetic change, Dolph losing two votes
which went to Williams, and Williams
losing one which went to, Waldo.
Speaker Moores and Senator Hobson
were the members who abandoned
Dolph.. .The vote was as follows: Dolph
39, Hare 10, McAllister 1, Williams 30,
Waldo 2, Raley 6, absent 2. ,
Tomorrow being the last day of tbe
session it is probable some changes may
be made, of which those of today are but
an indication. ' '

for Corvallis, taking down a car load ot
potatoes for Hall A Son, which will be
shipped to San Francisco by way of Ya

for the same parties. It is found to - be
quite a little cheaper to haul freight
from Corvallis here by teams, even at
this time of year, than to ship by rail.

the matter. ' , M. V. Harbison,

No Change at Salem.
The legislature varied the monotony of
tbe joint session today by taking two
ballots for senators, the result being the
same in each. The votes were Dolph 41
Williams 29, Hare 10, Raley 7, Huston
1, paired McGinn and McClung. There
remain but two days of the regular see
sion, and the agony will soon be over, as
it is not probable the session will be ex
tended.
After voting for - Lowell for several
ballots, just as a bid for the Umatilla
county votes, the bolters seem to have
settled down on Williams. Everyone
who knew anything of the situation at
all knew that Lowell was not in it.
Baker was imported as good senatorial
timber, and he was, but we do not need
any foreign products now. Mr. Lowell
wants to be in this country long enough
to know that four-bits equals the fifty
cents of his native heath, even though
the ratio is not maintained at 16 to
before he thinks of accepting the sen a
torship.
James J. Corbett says: "Inside of
two years there. will not be a club in the
country, and pugilists will be fighting in
barns and fields for purses of $100 and
$200 just as they used to. The news'
papers are responsible for it." Corbett
gives the snap away, for if as he asserts
the pugilists are willing to fight in the
fields for $100, it is a pure waste of good
money to hang up $20,000 in order to let
them fight in a parlor. We think though
that Corbett is mistaken. . In a few
years the pugilists will be doing all their
fighting in the newspapers. '

Bay City, Mich., furnished a remark
able example of Christian unity last
week, in the form of a joint meeting of
Protestants and Catholics. On the
platform were six Catholic priests and
twelve Protestant ministers, besides a
hundred representative citizens of many
creeds and denominations, The meet
ing opened with the repeating of the
Lord's Prayer and ended with the sing
ing of "America' and the object of de-1
termining the possibility of . Christian
fellowship and harmony seemed satis
factorily? obtained' in the delightful fra

The bride was one of The Dalles sweet

the young gentleman who won her heart
is indeed fortunate. " Tbe poet Hood in
the poem "Fair Inez" expressed tbe
sentiment that all who knew the bride
will feel, on learning of her marriace to
the "stranger from the East," and did it
so gracefully and so fully that it seems
but plagiarism to eay anything at all.

are not right. ' .
