Wednesday's Sally.
The curfew bell did not ring last
night.
Fourteen horses were shipped on the
Regulator this morning, eight of which
will be sent to Sitka, Alaska.
Mrs. Phil Metschan, wife of the state
treasurer, died at Salem yesterday, after
an illness of eighteen months.
Elder J. W. Jenkins will preach at
Dufur Saturday evening of this week
and Sunday at the usual hours.
The county court this afternoon
changed the name of William Traylor
of Hood River to William Haynes.
The last term of the circuit court was
the least expensive of any held here for
rears. The bills from that source are
conspicuous by failing to be on hand
Major Morgan and the Irish Nightin
gale of the Salvation Army, will be here
on March 12th and 13th. On the 12th
there will be a coffee supper, on the 13th
,the major will speak on the "Secret of
the Salvation Army."
Two Slaps, an Indian of the Umatilla
tribe, got drunk at Pendleton Monday,
and on bis way home his pony bucked
him off. In the fall a flask containing a
small amount of whisky was broken and
a piece of the glass penetrated his
femoral artery. The result was a dead
Indian in about two minutes, but "he
died happy."
Last year Clerk Jacobsen collected $553
tuition from non-resident pupils, as
against $258 in 1893, and only $102.50 in
1892. It can be seen at a glance that
our schools have obtained a high stand
ing elsewhere: that outsiders indorse
our course of studies, and are satisfied
with the results obtained from patroniz
ing our public schools. No doubt the
number of non-resident pupils will keep
on increasing in the future.
Alley's bill fixing the age of consent
passed by the legislature takes effect
May 24th. It is as follows : If any per
son shall carnally know any female child
under the age of 18 years, or shall forci
bly ravish any woman of the age of 16
years or upwards, such person shall be
deemed guilty. of rape, and upon convic
tion thereof shall be punished by im
prisonment in the penitentiary for not
less than three nor more than twenty
years.
John M. Fridley, an O. R. & N. bridge
foreman, died in the hospital in Portland
last Thursday. His funeral services
were conducted in Pendleton Sunday.
Deceased had no family. He came orig
inally from Virginia where all bis rela
tives now reside. Although word had
been sent to them, no answer was re
ceived prior to the funeral. But his
fellow workmen gladly performed this
last service for one with whom for many
they had labored for a common interest.
Mr. Lochhead, one of the board of fire
delegates, called the attention of the en
gineer to the fact that the board had re
fused to allow the firebell to be rung for
any purpose except fires or fire meetings,
and so curfew did not ring last night.
Since the immortal but misguided
"Bessie" UBed herself as a clapper and
swung her sandaled feet out the belfry
window and twinkled her shinbones be
fore the blushing face of the man in the
moon, curfew has curfewed whenever it
wanted to. But last night curfew did
not ring, the boys were not executed
and Cromwell did not show up.
Tnursday's Dally
The deadlock in the Idaho legislature
over the senatorial election was broken
today by the election of Shoo p.
It is reported that owing to the passage
of the law crerting a new judicial district
no term of court can be held in Morrow
county this spring.
Commissioners' court is in session,
but has devoted most of its time to road
petitions and matters of that kind, and
to getting bills in shape for action. To
morrow there will he a grist of bills run
through the mill, that will come out
warrants. The county judge and com
missioners are trimming expenses down
to a minimum.
There will be English Lutheran ser
vice by Rev. L. Grey on Friday, Satur
day and Sunday evenings, at 7:30, at
the Baptist church, Sunday 10 :30 a. m.
in the chapel on Ninth street in German.
Monday 1:30 and 7:30 p. m., in the U.
B. church of Dufur, also there on Tues
day 10:30 a. m. A cordial welcome to
all friends of the church by pastor and
people.
'. - Some of our exchanges have printed
the statement that the pest house burned
here was built by subscriptions given by
employees of the old O. R. & N. This is
a mistake. The pest house burned be
longed to the city. The building spoken
of was not burned, but Is now used by
the city and occupied by the persons
quarantined on account of having been
exposed to the smallpox.
The county assessor is getting ready to
begin his labors, among which will be
the taking of the census, together with
the collecting of certain statistics.
Every man will be called upon to give
the number of his children, horses,
mules, sheep, hogs, chickens and dozens
of eggs, from which we judge that in
Oregon all these things enumerated are
considered members of the family.
The smallpox patient continues to im
prove, and although there has been a
thousand rumors repeated a thousand
times to the effect that the nurse who
attended him has taken the disease, we
have been unable to find any foundation
for the story. It will be but a short
time until all danger of his taking the
disease is past. As a matter of fact the
nurse has been vaccinated twice, or at
least the attempt was made, but the
vaccine would not take. This in itself
means as a general thing, thopgh not
always immunity from the disease.
Friday's Daily.
C. E. Bayard announces himself as a
candidate for the office of school clerk.
By request I desire to state that I will
be a candidate for school clerk again,
tf E. Jacobson.
Mrs. C. L. Phillips desires to announce
that she has just received her spring
stock of millinery, which she now has at
her home. She will move the same into
the rooms beinic prepared for her on
Washington street, Monday or Tuesday.
The Wasco Warehouse Co. have on
sale at their warehouse Seed Wheat,
Feed Wheat, Barley, Barley Chop, Oats
and Hay. Are sole agents in The Dalles
for the now celebrated Goldendale roller
mills flour, the best flour in the market,
and sold only in ton lots or over. 9-tf
The committee of physicians appointed
by the city council to select a site for a
pest bouse yesterday agreed upon a site
the other side of the old military bury
ing ground, and the work of erecting a
building was begun yesterday afternoon.
The building will be 24 feet square, one
story an-1 will contain four rooms. It
will be completed tomorrow.
The weather clerk seems determined
to make amends for the deep snows he
sent us in January and is furnishing a
quality of weather that is above par.
The result is that the city is duller just
now than it has been for years, every
farmer is at work with all the help he
can get scratching the cuticle of old
mother earth, and preparing to sow
bread microbes and biscuit bacteria.
The acreage promises to be large, and
with a little rain two months from now
the harvest should be a generous one.

Virgil Bolton Dead.
Died In this citv, Thursday morning,
March 7tn, G. Virgil Bolton, aged 32
years.
It did not create surprise among our
people this morning when the news
reached them that Virgil Bolton was
dead, for that event was expected at any
moment. For months he has been but
a shadow of his former self, for con
sumption had claimed him, and with
remorseless and ceaseless energy had
little by little robbed him of strength
and vitality. Only his indomitable will
kept him alive for the past two months,
and though so weak he could hardly
stand, he walked to the bank and home
every day up to ten days ago.
He was born in Wasco county Jan.
26, 1863, being 32 years old last January.
He graduated from the Wasco Inde
pendent Academy in 1881, and immedi
ately accepted a position in French &
Co.'s bank, remaining with that firm
ever since, and being cashier at the time
of his death. Last Jane be was elected
mayor of the city, and for a short time
brought to the discharge of the duties of
that office his usual vim and energy,
but failing health prevented him for tbe
past few months giving much attention
to the office.
Virgil Bolton was known by almost
every citizen of the county, and outside
of it his acquaintance was extensive, and
wherever known his name was a syno
nym for probity. He bad few enemies
and many friends, sincere friends, whose
tenderest sympathies go out to tbe be
reaved wife and fatherless little girls in
their great loss.
Besides hia wife, he leaves two
daughters, Carmel, aged 5 years, and
Nonearle, aged about 18 months, his
mother, three brothers, Zenas, Simeon
and Wilbur and a sister, Mrs. W. A.
McFarland.
The funeral will take place from the
family residence Saturday afternoon, at
1 o'clock.
Last Night's Concert. .
The concert last night at the Method
ist church drew a large and appreciative
audience, and was decidedly the affair of
the season. To make individual men
tion of those who took part would be a
task beyond our weak powers, for where
all is excellent, who shall select that
which is most so. The very best and
sweetest voices in the city were beard,
and when that is eaid there is nothing
left to say, for, as is well known, The
Dalles has some genuine talent in the
musical way. That the audience en
joyed the numbers was evidenced by U e
encore following nearly every one, and
that too with an energy and persistence
that would admit of no refusal.
The two recitations, one by Miss Bes
sie French, and the other by Mr. N. Sin
nott brought out generous applause, and
with Mr. Sinnott the determination to
have him out again compelled him to
supplement "Cassius to BrutuB" with a
plain and unvarnished statement of the
facts in the case of the duel between
Mr. Shott and Mr. Knott, in which the
heretofore bidden matters of that affair
were brought to light and made plain.
Mrs. J. M. Patterson presided at the
organ, and as she is perfect as an accom
panist, contributed largely towards the

Financially the entertainment was
also a success, gathering in $50.
A Gem of His Kind.
There was a tramp in town yesterday
that, as far as filth ' and looks are con
cerned, must have taken all the degrees,
and a few side ranks. He was a Nyanza
"nigger" of' large proportions, with a
head like a stonehammer or a churn,
set with a fore and aft pitch of 45 de
grees on a pumpkin vine neck. The
longitudinal appearance of hi head
piece was elongated by short crisp wads
of his kinkleta tied up with strings.
His clothing was some of it, and that
that he Lad with him was a sight. He
had completed his tout ensemble with
several old gunny sacks gathered from
some scavenger's cart.
He was first visible in the eastern
portion of the city, where, after gather
ing a half peck of "snipes," he crawled
into the stock yards and was going to
sleep with Saltmarshe's hogs. The
hogs, however, raised such a racket
about it that Saltmarsbe went out to
see what the trouble was, and discover
ing it, chased the dark brown epidemic
away. He left some time during the
night for Portland, where he will proba
bly arrive today, and tomorrow we ex
pect to notice in the Oregonian that
those complaints against the crematory
and Johnston street sewer in the me
tropolis, have again got into print.

Oregon Weather Notes.
From Weather Observer Pague's re
port of the weather for the year 1894, we
glean the following : v
"The coldeBt place in Oregon, as
shown by the mean temperature, is
Burns, Harney county, with a mean of
37.3 degrees and as shown by the mini
mum temperature which is 32 degrees
below zero. Bandon, in Coos county,
had the lowest maximum temperature,
viz : 78 degrees.
"The snowfall was unusually heavy
during the year, the heaviest being at
Hood River, in Wasco county, where
the 'total amounted to 135.5 inches'
over 11 feet. Joseph, Wallowa county,
had 61.5 inches; Baker City, 56.6
inches; along the coast there fell
from 1 inch at Gardiner to 15 inches
at Astoria ; in the Willamette valley
and in Southern Oregon from 4 to
29 inches fell. The greatest of all events
occurringduring the year due to metero
logical conditions was the flood in the
Columbia and tributary rivers. In June
the rivers rose from 6 to 20 feet higher
than ever before known, and did con
siderable damage.
New Seats Needed.
Anyone who has recently paid a visit
to tbe Central school in this city could
not well avoid noticing the seats in the
different rooms of that building. The
seats were put in there years ago, and
are built of heavy lumber, and are not
in any sense adapted to the convenience
or comfort of the scholars, especially
the little fellows. None of the
email pupila can lean against
the back of their eeat and have the use
of their desk, the seats and desks
in every room being so far back as to
enable a grown person to sit down with
out crowding. Aside from this, the
seats are becoming worn, and in some
cases full of slivers. Yesterday we were
told of a case of a small boy going borne
with, a stiver an inch long in that part
of his anatomy which left the seat last
as he slid out. The building should be
supplied with new seats, and some re
gard had for the comfort of the scholars.
Eugene Register.
The remedy suggested is the proper
one, only the application seems to be
wrong. The building is all right, but
what's the matter with giving new seats
to that is to say re-seating the boys.
As the seats are becoming "worn and
full of sliverp," the boys have a right to
demand thia repairing.
City Council Meeting;.

council held last evening at the record
er's office, the following business was
