LOCAL BREVITIES.
Saturday's Daily
E. J. Collins & Co. have removed the
awning from in front of their store
building.
The East End yielded nothing to the
reporter this morning, except dust, and
lots of it.
Farley & Frank re-opened this morn
ing and are prepared to transact any
business in their line.
Paul Schulze, recently general agent
for the Northern Pacific railroad, com
mitted snicide at Tacoma yesterday.
Constable. Trana brought three persons
from the Locks last night, who had been
tried in the justice court and committed
' to jail for being drunk and disorderly.
They were II. Martin, who was sent up
for ten days and Lynot and Wm.
Burns, who were rewarded with five
days each. This was what Jailer Fitz
gerald calls a rush from the Cascades.
The hen down in Kinersly's window
must have been awfully surprised yes
terday, when she found as a result of
bath given her that her plumage bad
chanced to a lively red color. Her little
brevet children, however, did not seem
to object to the chaige, and today from
sleeping under her protecting wings
they have taken on a slight tinge of the
same color. The hen is in style being a
perfect cerese color with bluet trimmingB
around her gills, but, no doubt, feels
that she is putting on too much even for
Easter.
James Bichardson, who was arrested
yesterday for throwing rocks at the
section men, was examined this morn
ing, the charge being assault with
deadly weapon. The testimony showed
that he was going after some of the men
armed with a monkey wrench. Mrs,
Bichardson was charged with resisting
an officer and her examination set for 2
o'clock this afternoon, at which time she
was fined $10.
' It was really unkind in Mr. Pague, in
view of the fact that Easter comeB but
once a year, and that as a matter of cus-
torn nearly every woman has a brand
new bonnet that she wants to wear, to
order up a rain for that day, but that is
what is on the docket. The report for
tomorrow says it will be showery, fol
lowed by cooler weather. Mr. Pague is
not infallible, hence the weather may be
fine, yet we advise all the Chronicle's
lady readers to take their umbrellas
with them to church, or post their better-halves,
or to-be better-halves, as the
case may be, to come after them in case
of rain.
Monday's Sally.
The King's Daughters will meet to
morrow at 2 o'clock at the residence of
Mrs. W. S. Myers. A full attendance is
requested.
And still the bicycle craze continues.
In the distribution this morning Mrs,
Lottie Koontz captured the bicycle at
C. S. F. Baker's.
Captain Webb went over the Oregon
City falls yesterday in his barrel. It is
stated that 5000 persons were present on
the occasion. Several went from here.
A Bangor, Maine, paper tells ot the
salmon season at that place and that the
first fish, weighing 22 pounds, was
caught in a pool amid the floating ice,
and that it sold for $22, or $1 per pound
A convention of Epworth Leagues of
The Dalles district will be held at Ar
lington, Or., on. May 15th and 16th, for
the . purpose of organizing a district
league. About twenty leagues will be
represented.
Bain is needed in the wheat fields, but
still they can stand it for awhile as it is
From the indications today and the
futile attempts that the weather clerk
made to send down a shower, it is fair to
presume that a good soaking shower is
preparing tor a visit to us.
The hen and ducklings are gone from
the Snipes-Kinersly drugstore window.
They attracted a great deal of attention
during their brief stay, and it was really
comical the way the little fellows would
bite off a piece of bread and then streak
it to the water pan for a drink.
Easter was appropriately observed in
all the churches, and all of them were
beautifully, decorated for the occasion.
The day was a perfect one in spite of
Brother Pague's prognostications, and
the churches were all well filled. The
Sunday schools also had special programs
for the day.
-St. B. Crossen Is in trouble again, and
all because bis sorrel cat, with the longi
tudinal stripes of white and yaller-red,
has again abandoned the grocery store.
All through Lent Jerry was an example
of goodness, but yesterday be skipped.
His return to Mr. Crossen will gladden
that gentleman's heart, and he promises
to forgive Jerry without any mental res
ervations, if he will only come back.
Tonight at 8 o'clock the bids for Dalles
City bonds will be opened, and if the
bids are satisfactory will be awarded
There has been great inquiry concerning
these bonds, more than fifty letters hav
ing been received requesting informa
tion as to the interest, time to run, etc
The Dalles enjoys a good reputation in
the financial world, and the bids to
night ought to be well up in price and
show a handsome premium. It will be
a great thing for the city to bond its in
debtedness, as it would reduce the inter
est charges, and with good management
the city ought to slowly reduce its debt,
- The Dalles has the bicycle fever bad,
and while in most cases the temperature
runs very high, an exception to the rule
came under tne notice ot a reporter as
he sauntered along the brow of. brewery
hill yesterday, when a young man, who
was evidently a novice in the art, de
cided to ride leisurely down the grade
being unable to resist the inclination. At
length, coming to the conclusion that he
was going too fast on the down-grade and
might eventually strike the moral wave
in .Portland, ne made up ms mind,
break or no break to stop and he did.
The last seen of him he was walking
slowly toward a wheel hospital, with bis
bead and a hand in slings (not vice vena)
and his trousers somewhat the worse for
the short ' stop. And now he's sorry
that he slid.
A Fake Lottery.
The bicycle craze had a decidedly new
feature yesterday. There has been a
scheme for disposing; of the machines of
the gennine lottery style, and yesterday
after a drawing for the machine put up
by C. S. F.Baker, when it was learned that
his sister, Mrs Koontz, bad drawn the
lucky number the ticket holders became
suspicious and began to investigate. A
bov named Ferguson had drawn the
ticket from the box, and it is claimed
that this particular ticket was crumpled
and soiled to such an extent that it
caused the first suspicion that all was not
right. Some of those interested inter
viewed the Ferguson boy, who, it is said,
admitted that Baker had hired him to
do the drawing giving bim a ticket which
he held concealed in his band when he
reached in the box, and which of course
be drew out and so won the prize,
When this became .known there was
considerable excitement and bad feeling
and the result was that Baker was ar
rested, charged with selling false and
fictitious lottery tickets. The case was
set for trial at 2 o'clock this afternoon,
at which time the defendant and his at
torney, Jadge Bennett appeared and, as
the latter had not examined into the
matter the case was ' continued until 4
o'clock this afternoon. The matter is
before Justice Davis.
City Council.
A lilvelj Runaway.
There was a lively runaway this morn
ing that came near getting to be an epi
demic. Sandoz' team, the wagon loaded
with stable refuse, started the fun on
Union street. As they came up the
street Keller's horse hitched to a light
hack, snuffed danger and struck out
ahead of them. Turning up Third street
at the courthouse corner they started
Bob Hood, who was driving up that
thoroughfare, and be fearing a smash-up
put the buckskin to bis nags and tried to
run abead ot tne storm. Up Third
tbey came at break-neck speed, and it
was hard to tell for awhile which was
going to come in ahead, out Hood side
tracked himself the first opportunity,
while the Keller horse getting all he
wanted, was easily caught, but the San
doz team were still headed towards
Dufur and going faster, than a flying
machine when last they were seen.

City Bonds Sold.
The bids for Dalles City bonds were
opened last night at 8 o'clock and were
as follows :
A. H. Curtiss, of The Dalles, bid for
$20,000 worth, paying for each $500 bond,
$550.50, or 10 and l:10th per cent, pre
mium.
Theis & Barroll, of Spokane, bid for
$40,000 worth, 2 and l-20th cents premium.
E. H. Bollins, of Boston, cents
premium.
B. H. Hurd, Seattle, 8 mills, pre
mium.
The bonds were sold to Mr. Curtiss
and to Theis & Barroll. Mr. Curtiss
pays to the city fot $20,000 bonds, $22,-
020, and Theis & Barroll $40,820. The
total is $62,840, or $2,840 premium.
The bid made by Mr. Curtiss is pecul
iarly gratifying. It shows the confidence
our own business people who are thor
oughly acquainted with the country and
its resources have in it. - The bids from
the outside are also good, all at a pre
mium, though slight. The bonding of
the city's indebtedness is a grand thing,
It cuts the interest charges down by one
fourth, and at the same time pays off
nearly $3,000 of the principal. With
economical management the city's in
debtedness should now be gradually
wiped out.' The city's warrants now are
mostly in the hands of her own people
probably 95 per cent, of the whole
amount being owned here. The same
may be said of our county indebtedness,
and besides this, a large share of Klick
itat county's script has found its way
into the hands of Dalles people.
There is not a business proposition
that crops up but shows that The Dalles
is one ot the thriftiest business centers
in the Northwest and the ownership of
our county and city warrants is no ex
ception to the rule.

From onr regular correspondent.
Washington, April 12, 1895,
It has been difficult to collect money
from the government ever since the
Cleveland administration came into
power, and it is going to be more dim
cult than ever. It has been the policy
of the treasury to raise all sorts of obsta
cles to defer payment on government
vouchers of all sorts. It was this policy
that caused Senator Gorman to say on
the floor of the senate that if all proper
demands on the government were paid
there would be a deficit of not less than
$100,000,000. At a cabinet meeting held
after the decision of the supreme court,
in the income tax cases, was fully di
gested it was decided that the calling of
an extra session of congress should be
avoided, if possible ; and the possibility
of keeping money in the treasury by de
laying payments upon appropriations
made by congress was considered. It is
not certain even then that congress will
not have to be called together.
A dispatch from London received from
China this morning says :
