The first rehearshal ;for the play
'Nevada," was had Monday night,
This play will be given by the Home

One deed was filed for record today.
It was that of Charles D. Hayner and
wife to John I. Miller, for 145 acres in

In Maier & Benton's window is a cer
tificate from the managers of the Lorti
cultural department of the Columbian

of the exhibit by a display of apples,
- pears and peaches.
Mr. D. J. Cooper came home from
Salem Monday night. He 'says that
from conversation with prominent re
publicans from all parts of the state, the
opinion is easily deduced that the elec
tion of Senator McBride will do more to
harmonize the party than any other
selection that could have been made.
Some complaint is made that Dr,
Hollister appears in pnblic after attend
ing on the smallpox patient. It should
be remembered that he takes every pre-
caution, changing his clothing and using
a spray bath disinfectant, and also that
he has a wife and babies, whom he is
not at all anxious to give the smallpox to.
James Curran was arrested yesterday,
charged with larceny by bailee. It
seems Curran, who is a bridge carpen
ter working for the O. R. & N., bor
rowed a watch from one of his compan
ions, and getting too much liquor during
the evening either lost the watch, or
some one stole it from him. He was
placed under bonds, but there is not
much probability of his conviction, as
there appears to be no evidence of crim
inal intent. His refusal to make any
defense or explanation, left Justice
Davis no alternative but to bind him
over.
James Clark and John Fox were ar
rested last night, charged with stealing
a keg of beer from the Columbia hotel
bar. The keg was carried np the back
stairs and thrown down in the alley, but
unfortnnately for the thieves, rolled into
the cnt where the sewer is being re-
paired. While trying to "get it out of
that," they were overheard by someone,
and one of them captured. Constable
Urquhart was sent for, and turning the
prisoner over to Nightwatchman Con
nelly, he went back and soon captured
the other. This morning Clark pleaded
guilty, and was given thirty days in
jail. Fox demanded a trial, but this
afternoon gave it up and entered a plea
of guilty. He was also given thirty
days. Both are hobos of the acute type.

' The city council has offered a reward
of $250 for the arrest and conviction of
the person and persons who set fire to
the pest house. It is only a question of
time until the person is discovered.
Postmaster General Bissell has ten

The old telegraph poles on First street
are being chopped down, now that the
new ones are in place. Although they
have been in the ground a number o(
years they are quite sound, the sap alone
showing signs of decay.
We spoke yesterday of Dr. Hollister
having "a wife and babies," in which
statement we were guilty of uninten
tional exaggeration. Instead of Baying
babies, we should have been, satisfied
with the singular, baby.

the affair say that vegetables fluctuated
very rapidly.
The suit of Urquhart against Eshel-
man has been occupying the time of the
recorder this afternoon. The action
was brought to recover constable fees in
a civil suit, and we judge from the
amount of argument over some of the
legal points that there are several knotty
questions involved... . ...
Mn J. E. Bone came up from Van
couver yesterday for the purpose of buy
ing wheat here. He finds that owing to
the especially low rates to Portland
caused by the D. P. & A. N. Co.'s boats
that this market is one of the highest
priced ones in the Northwest, and that
he can get his grain from Portland at as
favorable prices as from here.
Yesterday afternoon the officers quietly
took the six Quarantined persons to the
pest house, and bad them safely lodged
therein before anyone knew anything
about it. Up to date none of them have
shown any symptoms of the disease.

were exposed. By Monday both scare
and 'danger will be over, unless in the
meanwhile a new case should develop,
This is possible, of course, but hardly
probable. '
Mrs. Mattie A. Oilar of Hood River
was arrested a few days ago on the com
plaint of the road supervisor of that dis-
trict, charged with obstructing a public
highway, and was tried before Justice
Soesbe, of that precinct, yesterday, found
guilty and fined. The case will be ap
pealed. ' The road which Mrs. Oilar is
charged with obstructing, is that portion
of the old Dalles and Sandy wagon road
leading from a point a few rods west of
the Hood River bridge to the river.fa
distance of perhaps fifty yards. Mrs.
Oilar owns the land, and claims that the
change in the road from the old route,
which crossed the river and came out on
the east side near the end ot the railroad
bridge, to its present route, was an
abandonment of that portion of the road.
The matter has been a source of con
tinual quarreling and we hope will now
be settled permanently.

The little steamer Eagleite, built to
nayigate the Willamette up to Eugene,
is becoming iambus. . She is running on
the old-fashioned salmon plan, '. up in
the spring and down in the fall. The
boat has only about sixteen candle
power, and is unable to stem the cur
rent or climb over the riffles.
School Superintendent Shelley has
created a new school district, or rather
has re-established an old one. The dis
trict will be known as No. 27, and is a
portion of the present Dufur district,
lying on upper 15-Mile. The district
was attached to the Dufur district four
years ago, but has grown populous
enough to become again self-sustaining.
Such things as this give strong evidence
of the prosperity of the country and
ebow that our lands are being rapidly
oca ted. -
When the smallpox scare first started
six children were taken from the public
echools, and since that time the number
has steadily increased, until now about
sixty pupils are kept away. There is no
good reason why they should be taken
from school at all, and as most of them
are allowed to play on the streets, the
reason is removed entirely. Of course
if the smallpox should start after them,
they are outdoors where they can ran,
which is a small advantage over those
shut in by the walls of the schoolroom.

They Hut Be Moved.
In spite of the meeting yesterday and
the positive assertions of the physicians
that no one's health would be endan
gered by moving the persons quaran
tined in the Obarr house, to the pest
house, the unreasoning fear of some
caused the burning of the pest house
last night. Who did it, of coarse we do
not pretend to say, but that it was done
to prevent it being used is perfectly
plain. Surely the people living in the
neighborhood of the pest house cannot
belive that the city council, the commit
tee on health, or the balance of the citi
zens of the city would desire that any of
the people in the city should be exposed
to the disease. We are all here to
gether, and whatever exposes one citizen
to the risk of a contageous disease, in
creases the danger to every other citizen.
It was not intended, and is not now
intended, to move the smallpox patient.
But in .the same house with him,
though on : the lower floor, are six per
sons, two of them young women, and
certainly these people have some rights.
They have the right to be removed to
some place where they can, after the
lapse of eight or ten days, provided at
the end of that time they ebow no syrup-1
toms of disease, be liberated. It is
quite probable that none of them will
even take the disease, though of coarse
it is possible ; but they have the right
to be set at liberty as soon as possible,
Kept where they are, it is unsafe to let
them go for an indefinite period, for as
long as they are kept in the house there
is a possibility of their taking the dis-
ease. The protection of the whole peo
pie demands that they be removed.
We do not believe there will be any
further cases, if proper quarantine
kept on the Obarr house, and those who
are , not sick are taken from it. We
hope that calm and cool reason will pre
vail, and that farther opposition to the
action of the committee of health will
cease.
The Javeniles.
The entertainment given last night by
Harmon Juvenile Temple was greeted
by a full house, and the program was
success throughout, some of which
deserving of special mention.
The recitation, "Only Sixteen," by
Master George Hitchcock, was very
good, and a recitation, "Save the Littie
Barnies' Feet," by Mist Fannie Cheese
man, was well delivered, and showed
the training of a thorough elocutionist,
The comic speech, "Snyder's Party
by Park Bolton,- in his favorite roll of
Dutchman, brought down the house in
a lively manner.
The comyany of young ladies drilled
by Mr. J. M. Patterson, made a fine
military display in their broom drill
and was highly appreciated by the large
audience, as evidenced by the continued
applause, bringing them on the etage
the second time.
The infant company, drilled bv Miss
Louise Ruch, made a lovely display in
their good night drill. In fact, it was
all good, as you can find out by asking
those that were there.
Thinks the Bill Will Fail.
A letter has been received by parties
here from Senator Mitchell, concerning
the situation of the settlers who have
made improvements on the forfeited
railroad, lands, and stating that he has
had considerable trouble in accomplish
ing anything in the senate. The secre
tary of the interior takes the position
that the original act required "actual
settlement," and that he has no power
or right to change it. The commissioner
the land, office, however, takes the
settlers' view, of it, that possession and
mprovement are sufficient, without
actual settlement. Mr. Ellis has sue
ceeded in getting a favorable report on a
bill in the house for the relief of such as
have made improvements on said rail
road lands, in good faith, and Senator
Mitchell has strong . hopes of getting
favorable action on the bill in the senate
before congress adjourns, as be fully
realizes the justness of the settler's claim.
Try Vaccination.
The physicians of the city have or
dered a lot of vaccine points from St,
Louis that should be here tomorrow.
As a precautionary measure everyone
should be vaccinated just as soon as pos
sible. With some there is an unreason
able prejudice against, vaccination, yet
the medical authorities, the very latest
and best, say that vaccination is as abso
lute a protection against smallpox, for a
time, as having had the disease. With pure
vaccine matter, and nothing else but
that is used in these modern days, there
is absolutely no danger, and one author
ity makes, the statement that out of
400,000 cases vaccinated with virus ob
taiced directly from the heifers, not one
showed any bad results. Vaccination
and good sense will soon get rid of both
smallpox and the fear of it.
Bow the New Remedy for Diphtheria
Was DUcoTered. "
A number of series of experimental
observations regarding the : nature
and causation of diphtheria pre
ceded the discovery of the new remedy.
These began with the discovery of the
diphtheria bacillus by Klebs in 1883.
In the , lollawing . year, 1884, the organ
isms described by Klebs were more care
fully studied by Loeffler, were cultivated
outside the living body, and diphtheria,
or a disease resembling it.was reproduced
in animals by inoculating them with
the cultures of this germ. Loeffler was

unable, however, to reproduce the vari
ous form of paralysis which frequently
follow diphtheria, but Roux and Yersin,
in Paris, in 1888, succeeded in reproduc
ing artificially, by the inoculation of
animals with cultures of the diphtheria
bacillus, a perfectly characteristic diph
theretic paralysis, and they were also
successful in separating from the cul
tures of this organism a poison (the
diphtheria toxine) with which they also
produced paralysis in animals. Then
Behring and Kitasato, in Berlin, found
that by the inoculation of animals with
the poison obtained from cultures of the
diphtheria bacillus they could be gradu
ally rendered extraordinarily insuscep
tible to both the poison and the diph
theria bacilli themselves. They farther
showed that this insusceptibility or im
munity was due to the formation and
presence in the blood of some substance
which it has not been possible to sepa
rate chemically, and which is known as
the diphtheria anti-toxine, or, from its
wonderful action, the curative serum
Then followed experiments by Behring,
Ehrlich, and other observers in Ger
many, and Roux in Paris, experiments
designed to make this discovery practi
cally available for the prevention and
treatment of diphtheria in the human
being.
The first important results of these ex
periments were published in the early
part of last year, and they showed
striking diminution in the mortality, in
a series of cases of . diphtheria subjected
to the new treatment. The results ob
tained in these first cases have been
more than confirmed by subsequent ex
perience in the treatment of this dis
ease. Dr. Hermann M. Biggs, in Mc-
Clures Magazine for March.

PEASE
A Broad -Minded Railroad Manager.
Receiver McNeill is in the city. In
conversation with a Chronicle reporter
this morning, he took what we think is a
sensible view of the boat railway propo
sition, although it is one seldom ex
pressed by men in his position. Al
though manager of the O. R. & N he is a
firm friend of the boat railway proposi
tion, and thinks that the opening of
the .Columbia instead of injuring that
road will benefit it greatly. That it will
open up the Inland Empire to settle
ment, will result in rapid increase of
population, and will in a few years
doable the products of the country. The
rates will, of course, be reduced; but this
will be more than compensated for by
the greater amounts carried. Though
not saying so, it was plainly to be seen
that Major McNeill is a firm believer in
the doctrine that like causes produce
like effects, and that even with the river
open the railroad would here, as other
roads do that parallel the Ohio, Miss
issippi and other great streams, carry
the greater portion of the products of the
country to market. He expressed the
opinion that the whole Northwest should
unite in petitioning congress for an ap
propriation sufficient to complete the
boat railway at once, and that if this
were done the wore could bo accom
plished within eighteen months.
Concerning the locks at the Cascades,
he said, "the end can now be seen, and a
very brief time will see that work ac
complished." From all of which it can
be seen that Major McNeil is a broad-
minded gentleman, who can see beyond
the apparent results of improving the
Colombia, and realize what will actually
occur, and further that he appreciates
the fact that Eastern Oaegon cannot de
velop and prosper, no matter under
what circumstances, but that the O. R.
& N. will be benefited thereby.
Died at Her. Work.
Mrs. Sarah States died suddenly this
morning at 11 o'clock, at the residence
of D. J. Cooper in this city. Mrs. States
has earned her living by washing and
doing house cleaning and such work,
and . has done the washing for Mr.
Cooper's family for some time. Last
week she bad an attack of dizziness and
fell while at her work at Mr. Cooper's,
but recovered in a few moments and
completed her work. This morning she
was engaged in washing.in the kitchen,
Mvs. Cooper being' at work upstairs in
the room over the kitchen. Being called
to another part of the house for a few
moments, Mrs. Cooper noticed on her
retnrn that there was utter silence in
the kitchen and fearing Mrs. States had
suffered a recurrence of the attack of
dizziness hastened down stairs. Enter
ing the kitchen she found Mrs. States
had fallen, her head being over the edge
of the tub and her neck wedged between
the latter and the poet of the wringer.
Help was called and the unfortunate
woman released Irom ner position.
There was a livid mark across her throat
where it had rested upon the edge of the
tub, and it is quite probable she choked
to death, having tainted and fallen
where she was .found.
Deceased had been a resident ot The
Dalles for a number of years and though
69 years of age, was an industrious and
self reliant woman. She had no rela
tions here, but one daughter lives in
California, who was telegraphed the sad
news at once.
