And now comes the report that a
Spanish war vessel fired upon and sunk
the coasting schooner Irene, on the coast
of Florida, yesterday.
The Smith Bros, desire to say that the
reports that they will give no more
Thursday night parties, is without foun
dation. They will give notice of the
fact when they conclude to discontinue
them.
The four Indians arrested yesterday
had their trial yesterday .afternoon and
were fined $5 each. Three of them paid
up, but the fourth, the oldeBt of the lot,
was unable to dig up and so is still doing
penance.
There was a wedding in the county
clerk's office yesterday afternoon, Judge
Blakeley performing the ceremony. Tbe
parties were Jacob M. Lock and Miss
Susie Ethel Clemans,' both of Klickitat
county, Wash.
Owing to the great waste of water
through closets and from carelessness in
closing faucets, there is an immense
amount of water wasted. On this ac
count the water commissioners are
thinking seriously of putting in water
meters.
Tbe rainfall at Portland is 14 inches
below the average for the season begin
ning November 1st, 1894. The snow
fall on the country drained by the Col
umbia is less than half that of 1893-4, so
that there is not much danger of another
June flood.
The remains of ex-Lieutenant Gover
nor Laughton of Washington, who died
Sunday, will be taken to San Francisco
and cremated. His wite arrived in
Tacoma yesterday from San Francisco
for the purpose of taking the body to
that place.
Nevada," Walter H. Baker's great
play, will be presented by The Dalles
Home Dramatic Club at the opera house
one week from tonight. The club has
some fine talent, and it is certain that
Nevada will be put on in a way to add
fresh laurels to our company.
The executive council of the Mazamas
held a meeting Monday evening. Mt.
Adams was unanimously selected as the
peak to be ascended this year, and July
10th fixed as the day .for the climb. Mt.
Adams is much easier of ascent than Mt
Hood, and it is almost as easy of access.
The distance from White Salmon to
Trout lake is thirty miles, and , it is in
the neighborhood of ten miles more to
the snow line.
Today's Oregonian contains a state'
ment concerning the D-. P. & A. N. Co.,
in which it is asserted that there is an
intention on the part of the company of
putting boats on the upper river, and
opening up a portage under the provi
sion of the Smith bill. We are request'
ed to state that the company has no
such intentions; that The Dalles is its
eastern terminus, and that while it of
course would carry any freight brought
to it from the upper river, and be glad
to get it too, that it would not under
any circumstances extend its line any
farther to the east.
"Lord Eooney" drew a very good house
last night, and after getting it, managed
to amuse it. There is not much to it in
tbe shape of work, it following the
modern idea of a farce comedy in that
the plot 'was a slender thread upon
wmcn to nang a medley of songs, gags
and pantomimic effects. There were
some very ridiculous' things, and the
play would be much better if the false
"Lord Kooney" used language that did
rot border so closely on profanity.
There were many mirth-provoking
things, and( taken all in all the Lord
Kooney company can be called a success.
0 The steamer Dalles City, which met
with an accident Monday, did not go
down to Portland yesterday as expected,
. for the reason that the steamer Eattie
Bell, which il running in her place, in-
stead of taking five cords of wood to her,
took only half a cord, not enough to get
up steam on. The accident occurred at
Bradford's island. The steamer was
Moving some lumber and had a heavy
ad on her bow, which caused her to
touch on a rock in landing. But a small
hole was knocked in her hull, and it is
expected she will go down to Portland
today he repaired and make her regular I
run tomorrow.

W. A. Miller will give another of his
popular soirees at Myrtle hall, Saturday
night. Dancing commences at 8 o'clock.
Rain, the first for a month, began fall
ing last night and a light but steady
drizzle has continued through the greater
portion of tbe day.
Forty shares of stock of the Columbia
Packing Co. were sold by the sheriff re
cently on a judgment against the holder
thereof. They brought $4000, and sold
dirt cheap too.
The present ownership books are
ranidlv approaching completion. Tbe
tax rolls received quite an addition from
this source, and the special school taxes
and city taxes arising from, that source
are now being added to the roll.
Col. C. E. Morgan, who was found
guilty of embezzlement some days ago,
was yesterday sentenced to the peniten
tiary for 18 months. Tbe commitment
will not be made out for some time, pre
sumably on account of some steps being
taken for an appeal.
An account of remarkable frauds that
have been practiced on the Bank of
England and of the grave crises through
which it has passed, along with a des
cription of tbe bank and of its methods
of business, will appear, with numerous
pictures, in McClure'a Magazine for
April.
Rev. A. Horn returned from White
Salmon, where he preached to his Nor
wegian Lutheran brethren. Next Sun
day and that following services will be
held in the chapel on 9th street at 10 :30
a. in. in German, and 7:30 p. m. in the
English language. A cordial invitation
to all.
Norman, the son of Hon. O. D. Stur
gess of (ioldendale was thrown (rom a
horee near his home yesterday and his
right shoulder was badly hurt and arm
broken. His face was also badly
bruised. His brother fell on the ice last
winter, breaking his knee cap, and will
be a cripple for life.
The Winans Bros, are making strenu
ous efforts to have all their fish wheels
in running order by the time the season
opens.and will probably accomplish their
object. The location of a cannery here,
will prove of inestimable benefit to the
fisherman, and especially if there is a
good run of fish. The cannery at Sen
ferts would be unable to handle one-half
tbe catch that could be and would be
made in a good year, and as it has con
tracts for all the fish it can handle, the
new cannery will not interfere with its
business.
The rainfall for the six months ending
March 1st, is considerably under the
average. Mr. S. L. Brooks this morn"
jng gave us the following figures : The
average precipitation from September 1st
to March 1st for the past 20 years, was
16.33 inches. From the firet of last
September to March 1st it has been
10.43 inches, or a deficiency of 5.90
inches. To put it bristly, the rainfall
for the winter has been about two-thirds
that of the average winter. The maxl
mum rainfall in 20 years Mr.' Brooks
gives us from memory at about 22.30
inches, and the minim im, which oc
curred in 18889, was 7.61.
The smallpox episode may be said to
be about over. Dr. Hollister, who has
attended the cases, reports both patients
as well, and recommends that one, the
.nurse, who had varioloid, be discharged
tomorrow. Monahan will probably be
kept in' the pest house until some time
next week, as all danger from contagion
from him is not yet over. Dr. Hollister
deserves nnstinted praise for the faith
ful and efficient manner in which he has
managed these cases and brought them
to a successful termination. It is largely
due to his judgment and suggestions
that the disease was prevented from
spreading, and he can rest assured that
his services have been appreciated by
the public. .

The tax rolls being in the hands of
the sheriff, his office presents rather a
busy scene, there being a number of
persons there all the time, bent on pay
ing their taxes. They become delin

The sewer running through the alley
in the Columbia Louse block, which has
been such a source of annoyance for the
past three months, has been put in re
pair, and is now apparently getting down
to its business all right.
The first wool of the season arrived in
from Dayville yesterday. The Lord may
temper the wind to the Bhorn lamb, but
still it would seem only proper that the
owner of the Iamb would, let its wool
alone until the wind was tempered.

been appointed prosecuting attorney for
the ninth judicial district. Only a
month or so ago, Judge Bellinger re
voked Mr. Parriah's commission as IT.

for examination for selling liquor to
Indians.
The grippe has. fastened its clutches on
quite a number of our citizens. Our
new mayor is confined to his room with
it. His partner, E. B. Dufur, is sick in
bed. John Marden finds his office too
far from home. Dr. Siddall is just get
ting out again, M. T. Nolan ditto and so
they could be named by the dozen.
Since writing the above that obstrep
orous man, Menefee came down town.
We hope our friend Parrott of Golden
dale may make a success of his flying
machine, bnt we must confess to being
utterly skeptical on the subject. That
the problem will be Bolved sometime is,
no doubt,' true, but it will be when
motive power can be procured without
corresponding weight. There are a
dozen or more models of airships, any
one of which could probably be made to
fly, if they had the power to drive them.
Some Queer Bills.
A close examination of all tbe bills
which became laws through the last
legislature would probably reveal several
little points that were not expected at
the time the bills were voted for, and
would reveal the absence of still other.
things that were expected. The peculiar
character of a large portion of such legis
lation and the manner of putting it
through will easily account for such dis
appointments. A charter for the town
of Day ton, Yam hill county, went through,
carrying a provision allowing women to
vote, simply because tbe bill was a
lengthy one and never read, while a
short amendment to the McMinnville
charter for that purpose only was de
clared unconstitutional in the house and
killed. No telling what endless litiga
tion, may be caused by tbe Dayton pro
viso. An amendment to the charter of
The Dalles carries with it tbe authority
to issue non-taxable bridge bonds for tbe
purpose of spanning the Columbia river
at that point, and it is doubtful if the
feature would have succeeded in getting
through bad it been noticed.
Another disappointing bill, when its
features are fully understood, will be tbe
insurance taxing bill. Most newspapers
and its verbal advocates seemed to think
and convey the idea that the new bill
would raise a large amount of rev-
enue to go into the general tuna ot
tbe state and help to lessen the taxes;
that it would realize a big sum from
the foreign insurance companies, much
to the advantage of Oregon gener
ally. Well, it is a good deal of a soap
buoble. The change from tr e old law is
very slight, so far as aggregate amount
is concerned, and not one dollar of the
sums collected will go into the general
fund. Tbe provision of the old law re
mains which places it in tbe permanent
school fund. ' The total amount collected
the past two vears, from insurance tax
was $5,812 71 ; the new law doubles the
rate, hence, should the business keep
up, the total amount for tbe current
biennial period would be $11,625,42.

Dave Beveridge, the well known North
Powder citizen, was a visitor in La
Grande Tuesday evening. Mr. Bever
idge recently disposed of, by raffle, what
was perhaps tbe largest specimen of a
four-legged bog ever produced in Eastern
Oregon. Howard Campbell-, the North
Powder farmer, gave the hog to Mr.
Beveridge when it was a pig, and the
animal was just two years old on New
Year's day. In the raffle Turner Ran
dall was the winner of this mammoth
porker, which weighed exactly 700
pounds, and dressed 656 pounds. The
hams weighed 56 pounds apiece. La'

Blanck Killed.
Thomas Blanck, the desperado who
broke out of the jail at Seattle a few
days ago, is dead. Since the break offi
cers have been looking for him and those
who esbaped with him.
A dispatch from Seattle gives the fol
lowing account of his killing :
This afternoon a report came to Kent
that Blanck was penned in near Orillia.
As soon as the news was heard a large
number of men started for the place.
Fortune had it that Bob Crow and John

PEASE
Shepich, who carried Winchesters,
started up tho Northern Pacific railroad
track. When they were about a mile
north of Kent, they saw a man coming
toward them down tbe track. They had
no idea when they saw the man ap
proaching that they were going to meet
the desperado, and got within 10 feet of
bim before the real danger was apparent.
The stranger walked along without say
ing a word, and finally Crow and Shep
ich called to him : '
"Throw up your hands, there!"
"Their commands fell on deaf ears, for
tbe man, without further delay, drew a
Colt's 38-caliber fwe-shot revolver from
his pocket and opened fire. Whang 1
bang 1 rang out the shots from his revol
ver, and still the deputies were unhurt
Then the men with the Winchesters
commenced pumping bullets into their
antagonist. It was a regular fusilade,
and not until tbe desperado had emptied
his revolver of all its shots, wounded
Shepich and been bored through and
through was the battle over, and the
desperado lay on the track, lifeless.
Shepich and Crow had killed tbe Jesse
James of the Pacific Northwest, Thomas
Blanck, alias Frank Hamilton."
Blanck's body was brought to this city
tonight, and when the train containing
it arrived at the station several thousand
people were present. It was with great
difficulty that tbe crowd was driven
away in order that the body could be
placed in the deadwagon and conveyed
to an undertaker's. The coroner and
several other physicians made an exam
ination of the body and found that it
had been riddled with bullets. Three
shots in the back, within a radius of four
inches, had -produced death, but there
tfere- four others in the body, two of
which were in his right arm, one in his
ear, and the other in his neck. Inside
of his coat and almost directly over his
heart the desperado had several thick
nesses of heavy blanket, in order to pro
tect himself from tbe bullets of his pur
suers. -
Our Population.
The Oregonian estimates the popula
tion of Portland at 97,000, and bases its
estimate on the number of school chil
dren. It multiplies the number of
children of school age by 5, and multi
plies the average number attending by
12. By each of these calculations the
aggregate amounts to practically the
same. That paper also gives statistics
from several cities to prove the correct
ness of the basis, and adds that tbe esti
mates for a hundred cities made on this
basis give almost tbe exact number of
inhabitants as shown by the census.
If this rule is correct, as it seems to be,
then Tbe Dalles has a population of
6000, as by the first calculation there
would be 6060 and by the other 6336.
While the population of. this city has gen
erally been placed at 3500 to 4000, and
seldom at the latter figure, we have
always contended that tbe estimate was
not large enough. The vote shows this
also, for it will easily run to 1000, though
generally within' the city limits proper,
not more than. 900 votes are polled.
If Portland has 97,000 it is safe to say
that we have 6,000, or as a small
calculation will show, we are with Port
land at a ratio of 16 to 1.

who attend will spend a pleasant even- '

will be diyided among the charitable
societies of the city.
The remains of an Indian's body were
found along tbe track east of Pendleton
Saturday evening. The victim was evi

bis death and the cause for the fatality.
