The courts are barren of items today, Wheat has gone up a few cents and in consequence considerable of it is being sent to market. Japan has declared an unconditional armistice pending the settlement of the terms of peace with China. It is said this move was almost forced upon her by the idiotic shooting ' ot Li Hang Chang by a crazy ' Jap. Taxes are coming in quite lively, and one wonders where all the money comes from. However it comes, and that explanation enough. This is the laBt day for paying taxes before they become delinquent, but it is probable the time will be extended, owing to the fact that the roll has only been in the possession of the sheriff for two weeks. Mrs. Obarr and family have moved . back into their house and it is again open for business. The carpets, bedding and furniture of the rooms where Mr, Monahan and his nurse stopped; were burned, and the balance of the rooms fumigated and disinfected. This work was done under the supervision of Dr. Hollister, and all danger from con tagion is past. Monday'! Dally. Mr. Pague this morning gives the weather probabilities as fair, followed by showers, and for tomorrow, warmer with showers and then cooler. Captain Paul Webb went over the Oregon City talis in a barrel Sunday, The only thing this proves is that Ore gon fir and good iron hoops will with stand a whole lot of hard thumps. The temperature for the month of March, as taken by Mr. 8. L. Brooks, shows that it has been slightly below the average lor March. The average was 45. There was no April fool about the shower this afternoon, although it started in like it was only a windy joke, It rained as if old Jupiter Pluvius him elf was bossing the job. The flying machine landed at the foot . of the stairs on Laughlin street (so we are told) this morning about 11 o'clock One of the stockholders witnessed the . landing, and pronounced it a thorough success. ' .They played it on us again this after noon by getting us to walk over to the sheriff's office, and on the door thereof was an immense placard inviting us to come in and see the flying machine, These April fool jokes are awfully silly, ain't they? uounty surveyor snarp will be in Hood River on Tuesday next for the purpose of surveying county roads, of which two demand bis attention. He will be there Tuesday and Wednesday, and on Monday, the 8th, he will be in Oak Grove, where two more road3 are to be surveyed. The gentle west wind got on a jam this afternoon, and the way the dust, papers, boxes, cans, and everything else that was loose got whirled through the streets was a caution. If the affair will only wind up in a good rain, we will cheerfully put up with the wind. And it did. The Prineville Review last week was filled with accounts 'of death and dis aster. It contains an account of the burning of McNally, the killing of Wm. Raglin by a kicking horse, two accidents in the shape of runaways and overturned wagons, both happening to Joe Crooks, and the insane freak of a eheepherder, who tried to become a dn.de. We heard a good one Saturday that was perpetrated by an Eastern capitalist some weeks ago during the smallpox scare. The special car in which his party was traveling was sidetracked near the depot, and two of the tourists walked np to Second street. Looking up the street, the gentleman noticed the fences across the street and asked if the street was dangerous. He was told that the fence was put np across the street because there was a case of smallpox in one of the houses. "But," said he, "the sidewalk is left open. Do the horses in this country catch smallpox, while the people are beyond the possibility of con tagion?" , I Tuesday's Sally. ' The rain fall yesterday was 7-10th of an inch. J: Dufur and the country adjacent is fcaving a regular epidemic of la grippe. The weather report for today from Portland is showery, and for tomorrow fair and cooler. The ladies of the Congregational church we busy preparing for a grand musical and literary concert,' to be given at a "date not yet named. A very attractive .program is being arranged and a treat is promised for those who will attend Mr. George Ruch has purchased the stock and good will of Christman & Cor son, taking possession of the score yes terday. . The time for paying taxes was ex tended today by the county com mission ers to April 10th, after which they, will be delinquent. The river this morning is 8.3 feet above low water mark. It was rising last week at the rate of six inches a day, but is coming very slowly now. The Epworth League will give a social and entertainment on Friday evening in the basement of the M. E. church. All are invited. Admission 10 cents. Don't forget the Eli Perkins lecture at the Baptist church, Thursday evening, Tickets will be sold by Mr. S. P. Conroy, and can also be purchased at the door, Hood River evidently expects a large berry crop, as there is a lively movement of the fruit shipping companies, Each making stenuous efforts to capture the cream of the trade. The rain yesterday did not last long, but it war! a hummer while it remained with ns. From reports this morning the storm was heavier further south, where it was most needed. The local passenger had not got in as we go to press. The cause of the delay was a collision between 23, the morning freight, and a work train at .'a point the other side of Hood River. From the report of the city treasurer to the water commissioner, we learn that on March 1st the amount of money on hands was $13,278.88, received during the month, $973, total, $14,251.88. Money was paid out as follows: Ex penses, etc., $3&. un inaeoteuness, $13,250. There is a balance on hand of bills receivable, 42, and cash, $822.88. The Regulator took down a large number of passengers yesterday and brought quite a large list back. She is doing an excellent business, and besides is assisting materially in aiding the set tlement of Klickitat and Skamania counties. A Nebraska editor has been sending appeals for help to the fraternity in Oregon asking contribution, even if not more ' than ten cents. The appeal is a literary curiosity that is worth ten cents to anyone. For instance, he says be asks this aid "to assist in keeping our head above water in this drouth-stricken region." Just note the double distilled emphasis of that appeal that insists he cannot keep his head-above water where there is none. ' A. M. Williams & Co. have a splendid line of ladies' waists on exhibition. They are of all the latest styles and in the most fashionable goods, but far too numerous and too handsome for us to describe. Call and see them and you will certainly find something ,to suit you. mr. a. v. uuuerwuuu ia uuluuk uui tf xr ttj X : - i. : i thirteen acres of orchard on the John Day, just where the bid emigrant road crossed that stream.- The orchard will consist of apple, cherry, pear and nut- bearing trees. He is an enthusiast on the fruit subject, and will make a suc cess of it. In talking with some of the fisherman this morning, they expressed the opinion that the run this summer would probably be like that of 1802. Not a heavy ran but a steady one, which they say at the end ot the season always shows up as the most profitable. But eight days remain until the season commences. April fool exhausted the items, and everything seems to be taking a rest today. The court are quiescent, the sheriff is busy gathering in taxes and issuing receipts; the county clerk is deep in everlasting recording of deeds, bonds and mortgages ; the city recorder is filing bills for action by the city coun cil tomorrow night; the justice of the peace is just drifting along waiting for a job lot of summons to get ripe; the street commissioner is doing some work in the East End ; and the county com missioners are holding a sort of informal meeting under the head of "good of the order.". Besides all these things, it is collection day, the saddest day of all the glad new year, and the man with the book and pencil is seen on every corner. Yet out of all these general business movements not one good live item can be evolved. A Brave Man.. Sheriff John Bogard of Tehama county, Cal., who was killed in the recent hold up of the Oregon & California train, after having killed one of the robbers, was an old friend of Sheriff Driver's, who formerly lived in Tehama county. About a week ago Mr. Driver received a letter from Mr. Bogard containing his photograph. It was probably sent just before his trip on the return from which he was killed. Sheriff Bogard was also known by the writer. He was a mag nificent fellow, brave as a lion, and he fell shot in the back by a Cowardly mur derer, while doing his duty. No effort should be spared to bring hismurderer to punishment. The Wasco - Warehouse Co. have on sale at their warehouse Seed Wheat, Feed Wheat, Barley, Barley Chop, Oats and Hay.

From Mr. George Mears, a former res ident of Klickitat county who came down from Goldendale this morning, we learn of the successful trial of Inventor Parrott's airship at Goldendale at o'clock this morning. Mr. Parrott has been working on the machine for weeks no one being allowed inside of the build ing, and of course no one knew what progress he had made nntil yesterday, when he announced that he had a small ship, capable of carrying from 500 to 800 pounds completed, and that the engine and the new motive force were a success. He expressed his determination to give hie shiD a trial at an eaily hour the fol lowing morning, that is, today, and in vited several of the leading citizens to be present. The hour chosen was 8 o'clock, as Mr. Parrott desired to make the teBt while there was no wind, which he feared would rise during the day. Promptly at the hour named he ap peared with the machine loaded on track, at the appointed place of trial, just on the outskirts of town on the west side. There were present besides Mr. Parrott, Hon. W. R. Dunbar, Hon. Sol, Smith, N. B. Brooks, I. C. Darland, Hueh Gourlay, Mr. Maddock. the banker, and eeveral others. The machine appeared small and light for the work expected of it. The body was about 18 feet long, 6 feet in diameter in the middle ana tapering to a point from that. The aeroplanes, like the body of the ship, were made of thin sfceetB of aluminum, and were each in two folds that enabled them to be ex tended in length to almost doable their apparent length. ' The machine was driven by two propellers, each of about five leet diameter. On the bottom of the machine was a self-acting plane, which served to steady the ehip, and a thin, flexible rudder, working on an uni versal joint that permitted its being used to tarn the ship either to the side, or ap and dowa completed the steering ap paratus. The engine was a small affair, weighing 24 pounds, but yielding, Mr, Parrptt Baid, four-horse , power. Its mechanism and the material used to generate the power are Mr. Parrott's secret. ' It took Mr. Parrott just twenty min utes to get his ship ready, and he in vited any two persons present to get in and ride with him, bat everybody seemed skeptical and declined the honor in favor of his neighbor. Mr. Parrott did not insist, but climbing into the car, he turned a wheel on bis engine, the propellers began to revolve, the aero planes were run out to their furthest ex tension, and in a moment the ship lifted from the ground and sailed swiftly along, steadily increasing its distance from tho ground until it had attained a height of 150 feet, when Mr. Parrott, in order to show his control of the machine, maintained it at that height, while he turned it in a large circle, brought it back to the place of starting, and slow ing down his engine settled lightly to the ground. After this the party was taken two at a time for a short trip. That the machine is an entire and prac tical success is thoroughly demonstrated. Mr. Parrott announces that he will make the trip to this place Monday, bringing with him two passengers. He will leave Goldendale at 9 o'clock sharp, fly south to a point over Columbus, thence down the Columbia to this place, The landing will be made on the sand bar above town, and it is expected the trip will be made in a little less than an hour, so that the ship may be expected here at 10 o'clock, or shortly before. We mast confess that we bad but little confidence in Mr. Parrott's ideas, but we are pleased, just the same, to congratulate him upon his success. He has solved a vexing problem and at the same time has laid the foundation for the grandest fortune ever attained by man. A Flying Story. In Saturday's issue we perpetrated a harmless bit of pleasantry in the shape of an April fool story concerning Mr, Parrott's flying machine. Of coarse the story had many of the brands and ear marks of fiction, and we hardly sap- posed that it would deceive anybody, We had no intention of ridiculing Mr, Parrott's attempt to solve the problem of aerial navigation ; on the contrary, we feel that the question will be an swered properly sometime, and if Mr. Parrott has the motive power he claims so have, we believe he has made a long step towards the solution of the problem. We sincerely hope that when Mr. Par rott makes bis trip it will be just as suc cessful as it has in the fictitious trial we gave it. Of one thiDg Mr. Parrott can feel as sured, and that is that everybody in The Dalles knows he is making a flying ma chine, and will hereafter be interested in watching its development. In Memorlam. Wm. Edward McLeod, 6on of Alexan der and Ellen J. McLeod, was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on the 28th day of October, 1865. He emigrated with his parents to California in 1869, and then to Kingsley, Or., in 1878, and was married to Miss Ella Roth Oct. 24, 1888, settling . on his farm near Rutledge, Sherman county, where be resided till his death, which took place on the 25th of March, 1895. He was complaining the most of the winter, but his last ill ness covered a period of only eight days. He was an exemplary young man, be loved by all who knew him ; was con verted last winter at Rntledge. and was' to have been baptized and united with the Baptist church at Grass, Valley the day previous to his death. , He leaves a wife and three children, father, mother and three sisters to mourn his loss. The sisters are Mrs. Remi Rondeau of Kingsley, Mrs. Ella Bassoni of Oakland, Calif., and Mrs. T. E. Herbert of Brown City, Mich. The funeral services were conducted by the Rev. M. F. T. Henton at the res idence of his parents, near Kingsley. large concourse of people were present to show their last kind evidences of es teem as bis remains were laid to rest the Kingsley cemetery. The wife and children lose a loving husband and a kind . father, and the father and mother and sisters a dutiful son and an affectionate brother His bereaved relatives wish to thank the people -of Rati edge and Grass Val ley for their kindness and assistance daring his illness, and also the peo ple of Kingsley. - M. The Prineville Cremation. Mr. Arthur Hodges, county clerk of Crook county, writing to Register Moore of the land office, gives the following ac count of the burning of the jail and prisoner confined therein at Prineville "Shortly before 3 o'clock this morning the fire alarm was sounded, and it was discovered that the town jail and old en gine house were ablaze. Before the fire department could reach the spot, the fire in these buildings was beyond con trol, and it was with the greatest diffi culty that the blaze was kept from ex tending to other buildings in the vicin ity. Frank McNally was locked in the jail a few hours before by Marshal Dobson, and it is supposed he set fire to the bed. He was burned to death, and his charred remains were found beneath the debris after the flames had been sub dued. Coroner Pringle called a jary to day to inquire into the cause of the death ot McNally, and the jury rendered a verdict in accordance with the above, The victim of the fire was about 40 years of age. He came from Michigan to this state, and has cesided in Crook county for the past six years. He ap peared to be a man of education, and had many good traits of character; bat his love for drink had wrecked his life, and brought to an untimely end the ex istence of one who otherwise would have been a useful citizen." After the Flay. The Home- Dramatic Vino, appreci ating the generous sipport given it, herewith submits an itemized account of the expenses of the play, so that the good people who put up the money may know just what was done with it.

A Mean Trie. This morning Tom McCoy and Dick Nolin put it upon us in a way that was simply low down and mean. McCoy had a white thread run out through the shoulder-seam of bis coat, the spool be ing on the inside pocket. The end of the white thread was curled up promis cuous like over the back of his black coat and of course when he turned that shoulder towards us, while Dick com menced to question us about the flying machine, we saw the thread, and in an absent minded sort of way we caught hold of it to take it off. When the thing pulled out five or six yards we took a tumble. We have a poor opinion of a man who would deliberately perpetrate an April fool joke anyhow. A man ought to have more dignity about him, and then he shouldn't waste his time. This thing of deceiving people jast be cause it is the first day of April, cannot be too severely condemned. A Good SLOT. The real estate men are making ar rangements to print a pamphlet de scriptive ot Wasco county, for the purpose of supplying needed information concerning the recources of this section, as at present outlined the booklet will contain, about, fifty pages, including some little advertising matter. We be lieve this is the proper thing to do, and that it will serve to attract a large number of home-seekers. Our business people, we believe, will contribute liber ally towards the good work. We have an immense area of unsettled lands, and there are opportunities here that would quickly be taken advantage of if people In the East knew they ex isted. We have the goods, and the only way to dispose of them is to advertise. "Fibre Chamois" just received at A. M. Williams & Co. tf. . Go to C. E. Bayard's or T. A.

Killed at White Salmon. , Last Jmday a man whose name we are unable to learn, was killed at the falls of the White Salmon, by a boy about 16 years of age, named E. Hoff. From the meagre accounts of the affair it seems that the deceased, who was a German and a man of violent temper, had threatened on eeveral occasions to kill young Hoff. Friday afternoon, while working near the falls, Hoff met the unknown, who according to HofFs statement, came at him with his ax up lifted, swearing he would kill him Hoff retreated, but kept facing bit as sailant and warning him to keep away, and finally pulled his pistol and shot him, killing him instantly. The attack was so sharp that when the shot was fired the victim of it fell against Hoff, knocking bim down the body tailing on bim. Hoff immediately went home and told what be had done and bis father at once took him to Goldendale, where he surrendered himself to the sheriff. . Last night, Prosecuting Attorney Spalding, the boy Hoff,. N. B. Brooks, the attorney engaged to defend bim, and Coroner Nelson came over from Golden dale and went down this morning on the Regulator to bold an inquest. They were joined here oy Dr. btewart, who came down Irom urant, and who will conduct the autopsy. Beal Estate Transaction. The following deeds have been filed for record since our last report : P. D.

The Pendleton Tribune says that a firm in that city recently shipped 3000 dozen eggs to Seattle, that the entire lot was obtained in Umatilla county within one wrek's time, and that the price paid was 6 cents a dozen, cash. The same firm shipped 1500 dozen to Bntte. Mon tana, the week before. This is a pretty good showing for Umatilla county, but as it is capable of demonstration that "a barrel of wheat will make a barrel of eggs," there is no limit to umatuia s possibilities in the egg line. The differ ence in value between the two, is the difference between fifteen dozen eggs and a barrel full. Bonnets and Soch. We just dropped into the Mrs. Briggs' millinery store this morning, for two reasons, one because the show windows were fall of pretty Easter bonnets and hats, and the other because a galaxy of pretty women were trying on those same bonnets, and the effect was that of immense kaleidoscope with' hand some faces, mingled with the ever changing figures. We have an indistinct recollection of "bluet" and "cerese," be sides a subdued chatter about shapes and shades and bows mingled with ex clamations of pleasure, such as an Easter bonnet alone can give to the ladles God bless them. We noticed also that violets are fairly in it, and purple is the popular shade. Mm. T. S. Hawkins, Chattanooga, Tenn., says, "Shiloh's vitalizer 'saved my life.'
