Tommy, the trick horse, came up on the Regulator last night. The boat was quite late last night, not leaving the locks until 4 :30. Four drunks yesterday and one today is the record in the city court. Register Moore's dog, Bismarck, is still alive, but his owner baa little hopes of his recovery. Mr. J. Folco has a brand new soda fountain with all the latest fixtures Call and see it. Quite a number of wagons and emi erant outfits were brought up on the Regulator last night, bound for the in terior. The fineBt rain of the season fell last night, and as it was followed by warm weather it is probable we shall have repetition of it tonight. Concert, vignettes, etc., etc., at the opera house tonight. If you don't go. you won't see some things that you can't laugh at because you didn't see 'em. See! The Darrant case begins to look very hopeful for the prisoner. The Pinker tons have been called in and no juror will believe a Pinkerton detective under oath or anything else. The Eugene Guard says that Friday Mr. Frank Hampton will ship five cars of cattle from that place to Portland, nd thence to The Dalles by boat. From here the cattle will be driven to Crook county. The Herrick cannery made its first run this morning, putting up about 1500 pounds of chinooks. Everything worked smoothly, and all that is now required to make the business a success is more fish, and plenty of them. Mr. E. C. Pentland of Independence, has begun the publishing of a Sunday paper, known as the Sunday Record The new feature of the venture is that he takes .the dispatches for that morning, giving his readers the very lateBt news, Jt ought to receive liberal patronage, for t is a bright little paper. Be sure and go to supper this evening with the ladies of the First Christian church, in the old Chronicle office, Tou will have ample time to get a good square meal, and then attend the enter tainment at the opera house. Don't forget to come and after the entertain ment come back with your best girl and treat her to ice cream and cake. The Sunday fishing proposition is re ceiving considerable attention just now on account of Washington having abol ished the law prohibiting fishing on Sundays. The law is still in force in Oregon, and as both states have juris diction over the river, there is quite a clash of authority. Of course, it does not seem proper that a man shonld.be allowed to catch fish on one side of the river and not on the other on any par ticular day, but under the existing cir cumstances this is what is being done. Some of the Oregon fishermen will make a test case ot it. We understand that Attorney General Idleman is pre paring an opinion on the matter for the guidance of Fish Commissioner Mc Guire. j Tnnrsday's Daily .

Admission, 25 cents. The Herrick cannery yesterday in it opening run put up seventy-five cases of first-class chinook salmon. 'The supply is increasing daily, owing to more wheels getting to work rather than to any great increase in the run. Two vonne gentlemen -in Portland wound np a night's dissipation by turn ing on a fire alarm. Judge Smitn after listening to their statements, took the case under advisement for about nan minute, and then fined them $100 each Thev will not indulge in that kind of luxury soon again. For the nine months ending March 31 the number of persons coming to this country to find homes was 140,980 against 218,648 in the same time in 1894, and 259,560 in 1893. The money brought by them amounted to $2,39o,846, or about H17 each, and yet we claim there is a law against pauper immigration Quite a number of Dalles people went out to Williams' grove yesterday to at tend the May-day picnic. They all re port having had a deiigntiui time, There were about 200 present, the music was fine, and the eatables and other substantial features of the occasion were all that could be desired. Mr. J. C Burks, of Sherman county, was orator for the occasion and his address is highly spoken of. Judge Bellinger is "onto his job" all right, and does not purpose standing in with the criminal class employed by this government to promote crime. Doc Davenport, who is a counterfeiter, was brought before him for trial for counter feiting silver coins. He pleaded guilty, but made a long statement to the effect that Harris, the United States special agent, had employed Fresch to get him to make the coins, Fresch bought the solder and the plaster for the molds. Judge Bellinger does not believe special agents should go over the country tempting men to commit a crime for the purpose of having them punished, and so will discharge Davenport. If the de partment would follow suit and discharge Harris, justice would be done. Friday's Daily. The Winans' Bros, report ripe straw berries at their place today. The Wasco warehouse received about one hundred sacks of wool yesterday, A large portion of the wool being re ceived comes from Klickitat county. A large load of it crossed the river at noon The work train is still carrying an immense amount of rock and earth to points east of town, filling np the old trestles. The rock comes from the new grade at the high trestle. County court meets Monday and com missioners court Wednesday! AH claims not presented by Tuesday night will not be considered at this term. The East End was unusually quiet this morning. The stockyards were empty, but Mr. Saltmarshe expects 1500 sheep in tonight for shipment to Trout- dale. Wool as yet is coming in slowly, Charles Fortune has taken his stable of runners to Portland to the Irvington track to train for the Jun meeting. Among those taken were Jim Crow.Des chutes and Volta, and they are good ones too. The interior of the old Vogt opera house i like a beehive. Scaffolding has been put np, and everything is being put in shape for the work to be pushed. will be but a short time until the building - will be ready for occupancy by the militia boys. The Dalles has had less rainfall than nsual this spring and considerably less than the territory all around it. Yes terday there was a generous rainfall in the southern part of the county, which extended over Heppner and probably much further east. Borne of our yeung gentlemen are ad vocating the forming of a base ball club, and to "start the ball" will meet tomor row evening at 8 o'clock at the council chambers to discuss the matter. The Dalles has some excellent material for a ball club' and should by all means or ganize, it is a nne athletic sport, tne national game, and should not be al lowed to fall into decay. Mr. Samuel A. Lester of Mitchell, Crook county, was married at Condon Monday, April 29th, to Miss Lizzie Sherrard of Sumner, Coos county. Mr. Lester was formerly clerk at the Warm Springs, and is a bright, energetic and clever gentleman. We have not the pleasure of knowing Mrs. Lester, but congratulate her on having won a man worthy of her, though she were a queen. The Herrick cannery made another small run today, putting up about fifty cases. Quite a number of our citizens visited the cannery, and were all pleased with the completeness of the plant. The run is still light, but if there is even moderate rnn the cannery will have all the fish it can handle, but Mr. Herrick is confidant that he can easily handle all that can be caught by running at night by doing so he can put up 1500 cases in twenty-four hours. When Baby was sick, we gave her Cantoris. When Bhe wan a Child, she cried for Castoria. When ahe became Mies, she clung to Castoria.

Sherar invited several citizens of this place out to see the work he had already done on the new Currant creek road, a few miles southeast of here. None could get away at the time but Messrs. N. W. Wallace and W. D. Jones, who were out all day Thursday, and have the following report to make : . They say it would surprise anyone to see the amount of work Mr. Sherar has done on the road with the limited funds and in such a short time. It is a very rough, mountainous country out there, but the road has been laid out so well that, when completed, a team could easily trot up the grade at any place, there not being a steep place in the whole road. The sixteen Indians who are employed are all well experienced road workers, and one of them could do as much at his kind of work as could two or three inexperienced men. The road, so far as it has been built, is actually the best highway in this part of the country, and if the county court will at once ap propriate $500 with which to complete the balance of the road, in less than two weeks there will be no obstruction be tween the upper country and The Dalles the best local wool market on the coast. Heppner is working bard to get a road through to the Mitchell country, and if successful it will induce about the travel to go that way instead of to The Dalles, that is unless this new Cur rant creek road is completed at once, Those who will be benefited most by the new road will be the business men of The Dalles, and it is their duty to insist on the county court appropriating the requisite amount of money with which to complete this road. If this is not done, all the hard work already per formed will be entirely lost. We believe the county court will do what is right in the matter. Antelope Herald. Concerning; tbe Census. - T r T rv . ECI SHLE. Saturday, Jiiay 4th. Dress Goods jiDiTOB tJHRONicLE : I see by your article in yesterday's issue, that there are those who are disposed to think that my enumeration of this city does not give the population of The Dalles in numbers to suit their ideas of magnitude, Now, I was not taking the census for any particular person or persons, conee quently I did not inquire just what numbers would suit them ; but tbe law makes it obligatory upon me as assessor of the county to take tbe census of tbe county, The Dalles included: so adopted the best and only means by which a correct enumeration can be had and that was to take it street by street and house by house, through the entire city. I employed two competent men to assist me and started out with the in structions that they should miss no house, one taking one side of the street and the other the opposite, and miss no place that any one roomed above or be low, not even a bachelor's cabin, and followed street by street and house by house, Jaking the cross streets myself, not missing a shanty without finding out who and how many lived there, and we came to a house that the lady was not at borne we invariably found out tbe name and number of residents by their next door neighbor,- not doubting its correctness, and my roll is subject to in spection by any one and at any time, and if any of the critics can find a family in Tbe Dalles that the name and number is not on my roll, I will find them a five dollar piece in the ashes, as I had no interests to serve nor favors to grant, other than doing my duty in performing the work and anyone is perfectly wel come to go over tbe work and I will com pare rolls with them at any time. F. H. Wakefield, Assessor of Wasco County. Mr. Kelley 's Roaring; Wells. Mr. H. Kelley of Juniper Flat made us a visit this morning and gave us a monthly record of the action of his two wells, which we are restrained from printing on account of its length. There are two bored wells on Mr. Kel ley 's place, each six inches in diameter, one 62 feet deep and the other 110. The peculiarity of tbe wells is that they are what is known as breathing wells, hav ing a current of air flowing out of them for a time, and then being drawn back. The air is of the uniform temperature of 52 degrees. Mr. Kelley says that they record the passing of storms hundreds of miles away by the velocity of the wind coming from them, which at time causes regular roar. The big storm at Seattle last winter was noted by them with louder roaring than ever before. Mr. Kelley says the wells are quiet some times for an hour or two, but generally are in operation. He is of the opinion that the air in them is affected by tbe tides, but his figures showing that. the air sometimes comes in the same direc tion for several days, will not bear out the statement. A Neat Catch. Yesterday afternoon at Umatilla a man named Jack Welch held up an old crippled barber, and robbed him of $87.75. A telegram was sent here to the marshal describing him and asking that he be arrested, and stating that he was coming down blind-baggage. Conductor Fowler, whose train he was supposed to be on, also had his description and find ing the man on tbe platform, instead of firing him asked him inside, and kept a watch on him. Arriving here he turned him over to Nightwatchman Connelly, If conditions anywhere make it possible to put Dress Goods prices lower we mean that you shall see them here first of all.

He was about to despair of finding anything, but on taking off bis shoes $87 of the money in bills, and some receipts to the man he held op were found in one of them. He is at present confined in the city jail, but Sheriff Hauser, of Umatilla county, will be down after him tonight, and there is no doubt but that he will go over the road. . Endersby Notes. PERSONAL MENTION. The May day picnic at the Campbell grove was a grand success. The morn ing opened with light showers of rain, which no doubt kept many from coming, Notwithstanding the heavy threatening clouds which floated over the horizon, sending forth at frequent intervals showers of earth's delight, which was no doubt gladness to the growing grain, At the early hour of 9 o'clock' could be seen carriages, men women and children on horseback, wending their way to tbe Campbell grove, where everything was in readiness for a big time. Soon was heard the familiar cry of "Ice cream arid lemonade, stirred up with a spade;" also tbe cry of the phonograph man, vjith tbe hose attachments to fit the ear, whispering the song or lecture spoken weeks before without disturbing the peace and quiet of those around, for the small sum of 5 cents. Eleven o'clock having arrived, we looked around to see all the vacant seats occupied, with groups of smiling faces standing or reclining near by, and bands of gaily dressed children scampering to and fro, indicating by their movements they were most interested. It was May dav : lets crown the queen. Soon we see the genial face of Mr. Brigham of Dufur, who is escorted to tbe platform by the Harmony class, where there are in wait ing to the left the three young ladies, dressed in white, who are to do honor to the occasion. A song by tbe Harmony class, "Merry May," and a neat and ap propriate speech for the occasion by the speaker, the three young ladies in white arose and stepped to the front of the platform, the maids of honor Miss Cora Wingfield on the left, and Miss Myrtle Patterson on the right, with a beautiful garland of flowers they crowned Miss Daisy Davidson queen of the May, who' recited with her usual style and gesture, "Tbe Frozen North to Southern Climes," holding the vast audience en raptured during the recitation. Con gratulated by their friends and admired by all, thoee three will not soon forget the picnic in the Campbell grove. And now for the baskets and boxes filled with good things. It looked as if all intended to stay a week, each bring ing enough for themselves and friends, so there was plenty to eat and to spare. The day being fine the afteruoon was spent in laughable games until the even ing, when we found they had not only come for the picnic but the grand con cert at night. Long before the time for opening the crowd wanted admittance. Only by tbe sweet strains of the Dufur band was the crowd kept out until the time for opening. We will simply say we had not the room to hold all that wanted admittance. The windows were thrown open and all that could squeeze their heads in did so, to get a glimpse of what was going on. The program being long and the hall and ante rooms crowded, half past ten found us not near through, so we bad to close with several 'pieces left. The receipts for the evening were much larger than expected. , Poor. McGbkagob. mdrulsteU Dr. Miles' Pain Pills. Mr. H. M. Beall made but a brief stay, leaving for home this morning. Mr. Wm. A. Jones, deputy supreme commander Knights of the Maccabers, is in the city and intends organizing a subordinate body of the order here. Mf. Charles Tibbetts, the genial ex press messenger, received a telegram yesterday from California announcing the serious illness of his father, and calling him to his bedside. He left this morning, and it is probable will never return, as should bis father's illness ter minate fatally, he will remain with bis mother. Mr. Hobart, superintendent of the state portage railroad at tbe Cascades, is in tne city. Mr. T. E. Meyer, representing the Stark Medicine Co., and advance agent of the O. K. T.

There are at present six factories in this country manufacturing sugar from beets. Three of these are located in California, two in Nebraska and the re maining one in Utah. A plant has been located in Virginia, but has never been operated on tbe same scale as the others. The largest of these factories is tbe one at Watsonville, Cal., which has a cap acity of about 1,000 tons of beets per day. The Chino faclory consumes eight hun dred tons. It was enlarged during the past season and now, perhaps, equals that at Watsonville. The other factories each average about eight hundred tons daily. A delegation of Workmen from Temple lodge of this city will go to Hood River tomorrow afternoon, for the purpose of assisting in the initiation of several per sons desirous of knowing the working of the order and enjoying its benefits.

Beat Estate Transactions. John Thomas and wife to Eva Osborn, n4, ne) and ne, nwj, sec 38, tp 1 o, rl2e; $1200. Bikes. Mays & Crowe have added to their al ready extensive stock the largest and most complete line of bicycles in tbe city. For a $100 wheel they have the Rambler, which is one of the best known bicycles on the market. It has many special features and patents, not found on any other wheel, oneof which is their detachable tire, which is admitted to be the best tire yet discovered, and which is now used by half of the manufacturers in the United States. They also have the agency, direct from the manufac turers, for the celebrated Waverly bi cycles, which are forging ahead of every thing else this seaaon, the factory hav ing already tnrned out over 20,000 of tbe '05 wheels, and not being able at the present time to fill their orders. Thia wheel is certainly a very handsome one, and is claimed to be the highest of high grade, and what is still better they sell for $85 and tbe ladies' wheel for $76. In addition to these they have the Chicago Ideals, which are made by the manufacturers of the Rambler, as a second grade wheel, are strong and sub stantial, and it is hard to see the differ ence between them and the $100 wheel. These are sold at $55 and $65. They alBO have bicycles to rent, by the day or hour. Do you want Tub Chbonicle and San Francisco Examiner for a year?

A SUFFERING CHILD ' i Bead and Scalp Raw with Places Size of Silver Dollar. Va rious Remedies only caused Freeh. Bruptlons. Applied CDTICURA. Change In Twenty-four Hoars. Perfect Cure In Two Weeks. Mv little son, aged three, was very mnch troubled with a breaking out on bis ccalp and behind his ear. The places affected were about as large as a silver dollar: the 6esh seemed raw and covered with little blisters. The child suffered considerably, and was nat urally very fretful. I tried several remediea without obtaining any beneficial results: in fact the eruptions seemed to be spreading and new places breaking out. I concluded to try the Ccticura Remedies. I washed the affected parts with tbe Cuticura Boar, tak ing care not to irritate the flesh, and applied Cgtxcuka.. I noticed a change for the better in the appearance of the eruptions in twenty four hours, and in two weeks the eruptions entirely disappeared, leaving the skin moo Ox and the scalD clean : in fact a perfect core. as I have not seen any indications of any eruption or breaking out since. I gave th child only a few doses of the Cutiocka R solvkxt. I consider your CrnouaA Bra a Di km very valuable. I believe CcnocKA. would be exoel lent for applying to Insect bites. ig in tnis country.
