r At Crossen's store this morning we
could not help but notice the display of
garden truck, which we think is a fine
showing for the time of year. There
were onions, radishee, lettuce, spinach,
pieplant, asparagns, peas and straw-
old printer, for getting out out paper last
week, when we were laid up by an attack
of rheumatism. We are also under ob
ligations to many kind friends who gave
us "sure cures" for rheumatism. With
a bnckeye and potatoes in our pockets,
salt in our shoes, onions in our diet and
sulphur in our whisky, we will be sure
to get the best of our old enemy, and last
week's experience will not occur again."

Some people think limes are hard, but
when bicycles sell at $5 a pound, and are
in demand at that price it does not look
like anybody was suffering for money,

price of silver. The condensed wind in
tne rheumatic tires goes at the same
price too.
There was a report in circulation last
night that Deputy Sheriff Kelley had

It is said that Cleveland looks upon
Vice President Stevenson as a traitor.
Wonder, in view of the fact that Cleve
land violated every partv pledze and
broke every plank in the platform, if he
ever stops to consider as to just what
the democratic party thinks of him.
It may be that Stevenson is a traitor to
another traitor.
An alarm of fire this morning about 11
o'clock, was caused by a few sparks
catching in the roof of the Peters' plan
ing mill. A few buckets of water soon
put the blaze out and no damage was

The Snn suggests the feeding of horse
flesh to convicts ; and says there is no
chance for them to dodge eating it. The
horse-flesh is all right but the sentence
to the pen, with the knowledge afore-
hand that a twenty years diet of horse
flesh, went with it might serve to depopu
late the penitentiary.
The' Eugene Register is evidently
weary of waiting for -the steamboat to
reach that city. For several months the

steamboat a push' and see how rapidly
she moves along." ,

Speaking of American women the good
Count No Ac-count, says : "They have
not been initiated into the refinement of
sensibility, into- artistic enthusiasm."
The count is right and the fact that
Anna Gould purchased him is the con
centrated evidence of the fact.
Since The Chronicle three months
ago stated that it would not support any
candidate for president who bad not
had the desire to know his country cul
tivated to the extent that he had visited
the Pacific coast, the big guns are all
coming. Elkins and Cullom are the
latest, and it is even said that Cleveland
is going to corne as far west as Pittsburg,
When they see it in The Chronicle
they know it is so.
DALLES CANS. HORSES.
where those who cared to could dance
and the grove was thoroughly appre
dated, as the day was warm. Every
body went over the works at the canal,
and nearly everybody came .home de
lighted, ennburned, and in doubt as to
which was of the greater magnitude, the
government works or the hearts of the
Cascade people. The bind serenaded
the Day Bros, and those gentlemen res
ponded by having the boys and some of
their friends sample a couple of baskets
of champagne and some other liquid re
freshments. The boat left to return at 4:15, arriv
ing here at 7 :45. The whole town was
at the wharf to receive them, and to feel
envions that they too, had not been of
the party. Taken all in all it was the
moet successful and. most satisfactory
excursion party ever gotten np in The
Dalles. Captain McNulty was at the
wheel and it reminded us of old times.
The general desire is that another just
such an excursion be provided in the
near future.

Nearly all the newspapers of the
United States have bad something to
say about the canning of Oregon horses,
the diecussion arising over the forma-
tion of a stock company at Portland for
the purpose. While all this talk has
been going on, The Dalles has not had
much to say, but has been doing more
to demonstrate the feasibility of the
scheme than any place. Last January
Mr. Herrick, owner of the cannery here,
had slaughtered a magnificent 4-year-old
cay use, and put him up in neatly labeled
cans. Since then at different times he will begin to ripen in about 10 days,

Homer J. Shinn, manager of the Snake
River Fruit Company has returned from
a visit to all the large fruit orchards on
Snake river, says the Spokesman-Review.
The f rnit crop, he says, will be
the largest ever produced in that famous
region. He roughly estimated that there
will be 300 carlpads of fruit shipped from
there this year. There ate four growers
who will be able to ship a carload a day
each from the time the shipping season
begins. The old steamer Annie Faxon
which was blown up with such terrible
consequences, has been converted into
an elegant new steamer, the Lewiston
now in command of the veteran Captain
Baughman. As soon as the fruitship
ping season opens, the Aimota, Cap
tain Stump, and the freight steamer
Idaho, will be put on, making trips
daily. The Idaho will be commanded
oy oaptain uaugnman s son, who was
in command of the Faxon when she
blew up. If good prices are realized for
fruit, as now seems probable, the Snake
river growers will reap a good harvest
this year. Spokane commission men
are preparing to handle a large
pari oi me crop, ana most ot tne re
mainder will find a market in Montana
and farther east. Cherries will be the
first of the fruit to come in, and they
sent vegetation of all kinds is healthy
and full of promise.
B. S. Pague, Director.
PERSONAL MENTION.
has canned five others, and is now feed
ing a one 3-year-old nlfy on grain for
the purpose of noting the difference in
the flesh, if any.
The flesh resembles beef in appear
ance, and cannot be told from it by
taste. The grain of the flesh is fine,
and upon opening the cans it certainly
looks good enough to eat. Dozens of
people have sampled the canned horse,
and are unanimous in prononncing it
good, though there was not one of them
but confessed a prejudice against the
eating of horse flesh. The only trouble
Mr. Herrick bas met with in canning is
that the flesh cannot be packed into the
cans tightly enough by hand but that
ill shrink. This difficulty will be
overcome by using machinery such as
nsed in packing corned beef. The
first horse killed made six cases of forty-
eight pounds each, but the others ran a
little under that.
Mr. Herrick has samples in several
of the larger cities, and is confident that
there will be a good demand for his
goodB. He expects, if the demand ex
ists that he anticipates, to commence
business in earnest at the close of the
salmon season, and will be able to han
die the carcasses of a hundred horses a
day. Arrangements will be made for
utilizing all the waste. The hides bring
good price, and the bones and feet and
waste will be made into fertilizers,
While others have been talking, Mr,
Herrick has gone at it systematically to
see whether or not the flesh of the
horse will be adopted as an arti
cle of food. If it is, it is safe to
say that the canning will be done
in Eastern Oregon and not iu Portland,
since the freight on horses to Portland
would be saved, that item alone being
sufficient to make the profits of the
business.
Yesterday's Exclusion.
Last Night's Flay.
The audience at the opera house last
night was small but that fact did not
prevent it enjoying the best bit of act
ing that The Dalles has been favored
with in many a long day. Senter Pay-
ton is an actor, every inch of him and
there are 70 oi tb em. From h.s first ap
pearance as the outcast to the final scene
where virtue triumphs and cunning vice
is punished, be is inimitable. He is
strong in every position, taking them in
such a manner as to make one believe
not that the actor was there but that the
original was. We should like to see
him in the character of Rip Van Winkle,
as he would, we believe, make the third
man who could do that good old play
justice, the other two being, of course,
Joe Jefferson and Frank Mayo. The
support could do better ; but whatever
of weakness it had was lost, covered and
kept out of sight by the acting of Mr.
Pay ton. Mr. M. L. De Forest as Cheeky,
did some clever acting and Miss Vina
Payton as Sadie, the domestic, fitted the
part well. We might add that this very
charming young lady is somewhat of a
kicker herself.
The play tonight is "The Gold King,"
and we can assure our readers that they
will get full value received for their
money if they attend it. The company
is the best that has shown here for. a
long time, and The Dalles should show
its, appreciation by giving them a full
house. . -

The excursion to the Cascades yester
day drew an immenso crowd. Only 300
tickets were placed on sale, that being
the limit to the number of passengers
the Regulator was allowed to carry, but
those were all taken by 4 oTclock Satnr:
day. The result was that hundreds who
wanted to go were disappointed. Many
tickets changed hands, being sold - by
their holders at from $1 to $3. An hour
before it was time for the boat to leave,

The newsgatherer on his daily search
for items of interest often comes acrosa
happeninga of more than passing note.
It was during a recent conversation
with Mr. A. H. Cransby, the well
known commercial traveller, with the
Cochran Lumber Company, that a re- '
porter of the Commercial learned of a
wonderful case. Mr. Cransby is well
known in Memphis and surrounding
country, and now resides at 168 Kerr
street.
" Just ten years ago," said he, " my
wife noticed a small lump in her breast.
She thought nothing of it, but it in
creased in size rapidly, and soon broke
through the skin, and commenced to
discharge. She was put under treat
ment of the best physicians, but they
very soon found that they could do her
no good, and simply prescribed antisep
tics to keep the place clean. - Both her
grandmother and aunt, by the way, had
died with cancer, and when apprised of
this fact, the doctors told me that they
would not attempt to save her ; that she
was incurable. Although the cancer
had by this time beoome deep seated,
and her health very low, I had one of
the most noted specialists of New York
to treat her. After treating her awhile,
this doctor admitted that the case was
hopeless and further treatment useless..
It is difficult to imagine how despondent
we all became, Knowing that she must
die, and unable to give her any relief.
I had spent over five hundred dollars
with the best medical skill to be had,
and felt that there was no further hope.
"One day I happened to read an ad
vertisement of S. S. S., recommending
that remedy for cancer, and inview of
the failure of the most eminent phy
sicians in the country, I confess I had
little faith left in any human agency.
However, I purchased a bottle of S.S.S.,
and to my delight, it seemed to benefit
her; after she had taken a couple of bot
tles, the cancer began to heal, and as
tonishing as it may seem, a few bottles
more cured her entirely. You can prob
ably better understand how remarka
ble this cure was, when I explain that
the cancer had eaten two holes in the
breast two inches deep. These healed
up entirely, and although ten years have
elapsed,' not a sign of the disease has
ever returned, and we are assured of
the permanence of the cure, which we
at first doubted.
" I certainly regard S.S.S. as the most
wonderful remedy in the world, and it is
truly a God-send to those afflicted with
this terrible disease. . Yes sir," he con
cluded, "you may be sure that I shall
always be grateful to that remedy, for
without it my home would now be deso
late and my children motherless."
