The warm weather has. started the grass, and the hills are beginning to show the rich green tints of spring. Remember the grand concert at the Eight Mile school house, on the evening , of March the 2d. A special invitation to all.- School Clerk E. Jacobsen has about completed the census of the school children, and finds the number will be between 1000 and 1100. A school district was organized yester day at Endersby from portions of 22 and 28, and one Thursday at Viento. A peti tion, to nnite districts 31 and 33 was con sidered today, and the prayer of the peti tion was refused. We took a peep into the Vogt build ing, opposite the Columbia Packing Co.'s shops, just to see a small pile of Oregon hog stored therein. The bacon hams, etc., are in another building, but in this one were thirty tons of dry-salt sides and fifty barrels of lard. The Portland Sun is responsible for ' the statement that at the caucus held by Dolpb's supporters at Salem last night, that the majority decided that Dolph should withdraw, . and on a ballot being taken in order to decide whom to vote for, Joe Simon received 19, Wil liams 6, Fulton 3, and Tongue 2.' The vote today did not indorse that state' ment. The legislature did some work yester day, and some of it was in the direction of economy, and the keeping of pledges and the platform. The appropriation bill as it came from the hands of the committee was $250,000 smaller than two years ago. One item knocked from the bill was the $20,000 intended for pay ing the railroad commissioners. It looks as though after all the railroad commis dioners are going to get left. If there are no funds to pay them with applicants for he places will not be so numerous. Monday's Daily. The social to have been given by the members of Fern lodge next Wednesday evening, is postponed one month. Mr. Leavins of the Cascade Locks tele phoned here this morning that that place had experienced an earthquake shock the night before, and inquiring if we had felt it here.- The dispatches this morning announce numerous cases ' of smallpox at Hot Springs, Arkansas. This is the place from which our smallpox patient came leaving there ten days ago. ' Street Commissioner Butts desires to state to all city property owners that they must have the alleys adjoining their property cleaned up within three days. If this is not done, he will see that the work is done for them and the bill therefor collected. Tuesday's Daily. The divorce case of Jacobsen vs Jacob' sen was up oetore J udge ttradsbaw in chambers. Al Bettingen has turned farmer, and today sent a load of seed wheat out to his ranch on 3-Mile this morning. The concert and entertainment to be given in the M. E. chnrch Wednesday, March 6th, will be one of the best every given here, as all of the best mnsical talent will take part. Rev. L. Grey of Oregon City, will preach next Sunday, at 10:30 a. m., in the Lutheran chapel on Ninth street, In the evening, at 7 :30, be preaches in English. All friends of the Lutheran church especially also the Scandinavians, are cordially invited. - The Regulator since.sle has been over hauled is by long odds the handsomest and the most tastily furnished, boat on the waters of any portion of the upper Columbia.' ' She is carrying lots of freight too, and the opening of the season indi cates a reroakably prosperous one. Pease & Mays are having the back portion of their' immense store re modeled. The office is being moved, new windows cut through the back wall and a dozen other minor improvements made. When it is completed, and the big stock now on the way is in, it will be one of the very finest stores in Eastern ' Oregon. . ' The,-, earthquake , Monday morning eeem'au to be general throughout the Northwest. The reason that it was not more generally noted is the hour at which it occurred, that is about 4:45. We know of no one here whcobserved it, .but at Hood River several persons felt it." Mr. John Parker, of that place, des cribee it as two distinct shocks, the first be sa j s made him think for a moment that some one .was rattling the front door and trying to get in.' This lasted long enough for a . person to have gone down stairs and out of the bouse. The -second shock, was both shorter and lighter. The East End sidewalks havebeen sprinkled with carbolic acid and other mixtures that make a smell the like whereof is .not smelled every day. Moody, Filloon and Saltmarahe this morning had a man with a sprinkling pot scattering eheep-dip around then places of business, reasoning that as there must, be a scab in smallpox, every thing that would prevent scab would therefore prevent smallpox. - A Smallpox Scare. There is naturally considerable excite ment over a case of smallpox being in the city, and with it much unreasoning and unreasonable . fear. Rumor, the forked-tongued old jade, has been hark ing on ner dogs, until the 1UU1 tales ot Scberezade are a mere bagatelle. In some portions ol the city, according to the tales, there are six new cases of ma lignant, confluent smallpox; . everybody has been exposed, and by tomorrow night one-half the town will be engaged in burying tbe other half. The simple truth is, there is one case of smallpox, and in the same building on the lower floor, the patient being up stairs, are six other persons, who will be removed tonight to the pest house. So far as known, there has been no one ex posed since the case' was known to be smallpox, and of those exposed before there is little or no danger of their taking it. The six persons in quarantine have all been vaccinated, and with proper care there is no need of their being an other case. People forget that the smallpox ex ists nearly all the time. Puget Sound has been having it in almost continually for the past six months. They "also for get that science has made wonderfnl strides of late years, and that the small' pox is no longer a disease the end of which is death. Scarlet fever and diph theria are Infinitely more deadly, and the mild-mannered grippe more danger ous. We do not believe there will be another case of it ; but in the meantime the most rigid quarantine should be en forced, and every precaution taken to not only preyent its spread, but to stamp it out. 'At the same time let our people quit trying to scare each other to death, and in a few days the whole mat ter will be settled. Connell Meeting. A special meeting of the'clty council was Held at the recorder's office last night for the purpose of taking steps to prevent the spread of smallpox. The full council was present, with the excep tion of tbe mayor. Councilman Nolan was elected .chairman pro tern. It was ordered that the persons in the Obarr building, where the patient is, be re moved with their beds and bedding to the pest-house. On motion the commit tee on health and police was given fall power to act in all matters necessary to prevent the spread of the disease and protect the public health. On motion adjourned. - A Case ot Smallpox. S. Monaban, a stockman, arrived here irom Arkansas Thursday, and took a room at the Obarr lodging house. Fri day night he was taken sick and Satur day morning Dr. Hollister was called in The man had a high fever and symptoms of smallpox, which developed during the day until there was little doubt but that was what the trouble was. As soon as the nature of the case was suspected, vigorous steps were at once taken to quarantine the house, and those who were unfortunate enough to be found in the house were compelled to stay there, and were vaccinated at once. The old pest house having, fallen into decay, it was decided to keep the patient where he was found, which has been done. Dr. Geisendorfer of Arlington, this morning, in consultation with Dr. Hoi lister agreed with him that the case was one of smallpox. - Real Estate Transactions.

All that was mortal of our old towns man, ii. JNewman, was laid away until the judgment day, Sunday. The funeral services were held "kt the house and were conducted by Rabbi I. Bloch of Portland. The procession to the cem etery was led by Temple lodge, No. 3, O. XT. W., of which deceased was One of the oldest members, and the services of the order were conducted at the grave. The funeral procession was a large one and lot it were many who mourned sin cerely the loss of the genial and loyal friend.

The masquerade given last night by the Woodmen was the affair of the sea son, the only thing detracting from tbe enjoyment of ' the occasion being the fact that the walls of the building were not far enough from each other to hold tbe crowd comfortably. Chairs had been provided, and between 300 and 400 spectators were ranged around the hall, and enjoyed thoroughly the motley as semblage that paraded before them. There were eighty-five maskers, and some of the costumes were very fine, while of course some relied upon touch ing the ludicrous to attract attention, Miss Clara Ruffner as Queen Isabella was awarded the prize for the handsom est costume, and it was handsome too. Mrs. Lorenson as a Spanish fisher- woman captured the prize for best sus tained character. Mr. J. R. McAvoy got the first prize for best dressed gen- tleman, representing a Spanish cavalier, and Sam Thurman, as an Esquimau, with the assistance of Register Moore's big dog and a sled, was decided to be the best sustained character. These were the prize-winners. Of the others there were many charming costumes dainty little lairies, a beautiful "starry night for a ramble," a belle "sleigh' bells." 'Miss Lena Neilsen represented The Chronicle, being dressed, even to the hat, in that family paper, which for once, at least, was tilled with tbe most interesting matter. Ernest Drew, as a monkey, made a close call for the prize, as be sustained the character exceed ingly well. The two big cigars made the reporter want to go out and smoke, even though they were made of cloth wrappers and Dalles "fillers," J. Ullrich being inside of one and J. McNeal the other. Space will not permit further mention of the characters. The music furnished by the Orchestra Union was fine, and that all who at tended will long remember ' the Wood men's masquerade of 1895, is a moral certainty.

' Farewell Farty. Of the many society ' events which have taken place this winter the danc ing party and banquet given Saturday night as a farewell to Mr. and Mrs. Eu gene Gordon, who leave tonight for Leadville, Coloi, lakes " the' lead. Mr. and Mrs. Gordon have made many warm friends during a ten-months resi dence in The Dalles, who took this means of showing their esteem and the regret felt " at their departure. ' About thirty couples were present at the Bald win opera house, and with music fur nished by the "Orchestral "Union, thor oughly enjoyed - themselves in the mazy" lot about three hours, when' all adjourned to Keller's oyster parlors, where 'one of his famous banquets was served, during - which time everyone seemed to be posseesed of the most genial feeling, and as the following who were present bade Mr. and Mrs. Gordon good bye aI1 fe,t that th even ing's pleasure was only marred by the thought that the best of friends must part: Mr and Mrs L E Crowe, Mr and Mrs Chas Hilton, Judge and Mrs Blake- ley, Mr and Mrs W Moody, Mr and Mrs F L Houghton, Mr and Mrs M T Nolan, Mr. and Mrs F Faulkner, Mr and Mrs Theo Seufert, Mr and Mrs H J Maierj Mr and Mrs W H Hobson, Mr and Mrs S P M Briggs, Mr and Mrs C L Phillips, Mrs Geo St JohDS of Tacoma, Miss Apperson of McMinnville.

The Oregonian this morning, alter giving an account of the regular repub lican caucus and Senator Dolph 's speech thereat, finishes its report of the caucus as follows "After the senator's speech, it was de cided that a committee of three be ap pointed to confer and recommend a plan of action, and Senator Gesner, Repre- sentative Smith of ' Josephine and Speaker Moores were appointed. They retired for some minutes, and after con ferring together, and afterward with Senator Dolph, returned to the meeting. Their report was to the effect that Sen ator Dolph could be elected tomorrow if bis support would remain intact. After a general discussion on the subject, in cluding some long-winded speeches, a ballot was taken as to whether Dolph should be voted for again tomorrow. Upon this there were thirteen votes against such action and seventeen votes in favor. Then, the hour being late,' and only thirty members being present, and tbe house members being tired with the long night session, the meeting ad journed till 8 ;30 tomorrow morning.' A Runaway. There was an exciting runaway this morning, that happily ended without any one being hurt, or much damage be ing done. Mr. Maloney was driving the delivery team, a one horse rig, and was standing up in the wagon, a small boy, Pearl Haslam,' being with him." As they came down the bill near the Meth odist church, one side of the shafts dropped, the wagon took a lurch to port, and Malonev fell over the side of the wagon, his foot catching and he was dragged under the wagon for fifty yards. Tbe Haslam boy fell at the same time, but inside the wagon bed. Tbe horse ran down Washington at a rather slow gait, being hampered by the shafts and came almost to a halt just below The Chronicle office. Tbe boy took advan tage of the lull in the pace to climb out over tbe back of tbe wagon, and as he struck the ground he threw up his hands, gave a whoop and shouted, "I ain't hurt." The horse was caught .at the corner of Washington and First, and a bolt repaired all damages. Maloney fortunately escaped without injury. Would All Want the Onion. A Pendleton gentleman visiting in the Willamette valley sends tbe following, savs the Tribune: v Society is always on the alert for some thing new and novel. A new game called the 'onion social' has made its appearance and is growing into the favor of the young people. This is how it is played: Six young ladies stand in a row ; one of them bites a piece out of an onion, and the gentlemen pay 10 cents to guess who bit it. The correct guessers kiss the other five girls, while the unsuccessful kiss the lass who bit the onion. People who don t believe In card playing ought to enjoy this game." As it is fair to presume that at least five would guess wrong where one guessed correctly, it will be seen that the girl who bit the onion would get five kisses to the other girls' one. This would come under the head of class legislation, and here in The Dalles would cause a row the first time the game was played, for every girl would want to bite tbe oniOn. The Situation at Salem. The election of a senator is the ques tion that today is absorbing the atten tion of the entire state. It was asserted last night that Dolph would be elected today, but after eight ballots the only result was a loss of two votes by him. At tbe end of the eighth ballot the joint session adjourned until 7 :30 this even ing. In the the first Beven ballots the vote stood: Dolph 38, Williams 28, Hare 10, Galloway 7, Fulton 3, Lord 1, Waldo 1, absent 2. The eighth ballot was as follows : Dolph 36, Williams 28, Hare 10, Galloway 2, Waldo 1, Fulton 3 Cogswell 1, Chamberlain 3, Lowell 1, Lord 2. Smith of Clackamas, went from Dolph to Lord, and Gowan from Dolph to Lowell.. . ' The joint session meets at 7:30, and as the legislative session closes at midnight, there remains but 4 hours and 30 min utes in which to elect a senator. What the result will be is entirely, guess work, but the indications are that the dead lock will continue to the end of the session. . .v " Bight Mile Doings.

A number of the citizens Hying on the bluff and especially those who live with in a few blocks of tbe peBt house, met the committee on police and health, at the council chambers this afternoon They were disposed to protest against having the pest house used by those now quarintined in the Obarr house. Dr, Eshelman, chairman ot the' committee presided and professional opinions were given by Drs. Doane, Sutherland and Shackelford concerning . the contagious' ness of small pox. They all agree that distance of twenty feet is sufficient to render one sate from contagion, that the disease is not disseminated through the air, but' its germs may be carried in clothing, etc. They were unanimous in stating- that the use of tbe pest house. Which' is more than 1UU feet from any building could not in any way jeopardise the health of anyone. It is quite prob able they say, that none of the quaran tined parsons have the disease. The meeting had not adjourned at this writing, but it is a fair presumption that the citizens on the hill will make no further objection to the pest house being used" for the purposes for which it was built. Plenty of Sturgeon. The middle Columbia is just now furnishing a large amount of sturgeon for the Eastern markets. This once despised shark is now selling at three or four times as much per pound as the once royal, but now deposed, chinook Thousands of pounds are sent to Port land on the Regulator every day, from down river points, and some of ' tbe fishermen are making from $30 to' as high as $90 per day. These rubber' noeed sharks (the fish, not the fisher men) are put in refrigerator cars and shipped East, and in passing through the bad lands of Montana, are changed in their character, arriving in New York as halibut, or. sea bass, just as the market happens to demand. This ver satuity on tbe part ol the sturgeon is what gives it a greater value than the red fleshed salmon, which cannot travel under an alias. They Won't Have It. Dufur has the smallpox scare pretty badly. Mr. Peabody, who was working at tbe Obarr house the dav the case of smallpox was discovered, went home to Dufur, and in consequence when the citizens there found that he had been exposed, they quarantined him and his family. This was a wise precautionary measure, but there is little probability of Mr. Peabody being infected. The disease is contagious, it is true, before the eruptive stage, but only so in a very slight degree. However, a ten-days quarantine, while' inconvenient to Mr. Peabody, will soon pass away, and then the community will feel safe.

Ten days loss of time on account of Sickness and a doctor bill to pay, is any thing but pleasant for a man of a family to contemplate, whether he is a laborer, mechanic, merchant or publisher. Jas. O. Jones, publisher of the Leader, Mexia, Texas, was sick in bed for ten days with the grip during its prevalence a year or two ago. ' Later in the season he had a second attack. He says : "in the latter case I used Chamberlain's Cough Remedy with considerable suc cess, I think, only being in bed a little over two days. Tbe second "attack I am -satisfied would have been equally as bad as tbe first but for the use of this rem edy." It should be borne in mind that tbe grip is much the same as a very severe cold and requires precisely the same treatment. When - you wish to cure a cold quickly and effectually give this remedy a trial. 50,cent bottles for sale by Blakeley' & Houghton Druggists.
