of general importance was transacted.
Capt. James Shaver met the directors in
an unofficial way.
The steamer Dalles City came up to
the Locks yesterday with forty-four tons
of freight. This is a large load and with
the added fact that ' the water is now
very high makes the performance a
creditable one. It is hoped that the
water will not interfere this season with
the running of the boats.
In at Snipes & Kinersly'sis a curiosity
in the shape of a cat born without any

considering the anomaly, aided by the
chief members of the famous Lying club.
In the junior class of the University of
Oregu law school forty-six students

a big compliment to Mr. Mays and a
credit to this city..
A prominent citizen called our atten
tion yesterday to the innumerable army
of thistles that is flourishing in the east
end of town. Everyone knows what a
pest they are and bow important it is
that they be cut down. Now is the time
to destroy them before they have gone
to seed and prepared the way for the
coming of a greater throng next season.

well to revive the practice of compelling
them to be destroyed.'

This is a great convenience for travelers

A physician has been visiting him three
times a day and the latest report, while
not indicating anything necessarily
fatal, tells of his being prostrate now.
The death of his father, which was a
Wow to Mr. Tibbetts, the doctor thinks
is aggravating his condition. Mr. Tib
betts has many friends in The Dalles

dition and give him sincere wishes for
his speedy recovery.

CLOSING OF THE YEAR.
final Bxerctnes of the Public Schools
Yesterday Full Report of All -That
Happened.
These are high times in our'little city.
Besides strawberries and cream and
green peas and spinach, we revel in
pretty ribbons,' dainty muslins, the
sheen of bright new slippers and still
brighter eyes, and the smiles of those
happy in the thought of doing honor to
themselves, their beloved homes, and
the instruction that for the larger part
of the year has been the larger part of
their lives. Even when the happy
thought that this was the end, mixed
with an anxiety about the performance,
sent the pallor to the cheek of the
performer, the interest of the audience
was as hearty and even more sympa
thetic.
Fully 500 people crowded the Baldwin
opera house last night to see the closing
exercises of the high school the exhi
bition of the junior class. The etage
was a bower of flowers, arranged in very
pleasant effect, and the fair, bright faces
gathered on the platform lent an inter
est to the scene that was felt by every.
one in the audience. Long before the
hour for the exercises to open every seat
ws taken, and a bush of expectancy
was over the crowd as the curtain rose
and disclosed the class seated on the
front of the stage, with the singers in
the background. Those composing the
class were Homer Angell, Pearle Butler
Bessie French, Mabel Riddell, Nona
Rowe, Jennie Russell and May Sechlar,
After an announcement by Professor
Gavin as to the necessity of preserving
order, the program commenced by the
singing of the double quartette, com
posed of Prof. Stratton, Glen Allen,
Curtis Egbert, Earl Sanders, Catherine
Martin, May Sechlar, Myrtle Michell
and Georgia Sampson.
Nona Rowe then read an essay on
"The Past and Present," in a very pleas
ing manner. Her enunciation was good,
and the thoughts of the paper were ex
pressed in graceful language. She spoke
of the education of the youth in ancient
times, and of the marvelous results of
the present age.
In reciting "Whitman's Ride" Miss
Jennie Russell scored a success. The
piece was new to most of the audience,
and everyone felt a great interest in that
journey of 1842, which did so much for
the country in which we live. The ges
tures oftbe speaker were in good taste,
and her manner free from any fault.
The solo by Myrtle Michell was heart
ily received by the audience, and re
ceived the generous applause that fol
lows all of that young lady's efforts.
The Future of America" was the
title of, a patriotic oration by Homer
Angell, 'in which be pictured in hopeful
words the future of our country. His
oration ad a breath of patriotism in it
that was very pleasing, and his last sen
tence, f'There shall be but one flag over
North America America, the nation of
nations," was a fitting close to hia ora
tion.
The recitation by Miss Mabel Ridded
was one of the very best of the evening,
The young lady has good elocutionary
powers and recited in a perfect manner
the mishaps of a man who was "Too
Late for the Train." The members of
the Mandolin Club, Professor Stratton,
John Booth, F. W. Wilson, Miss Helm,
Etta Strong, Florence Lewis. , Mabel
Stone and Lois Helm rendered a pretty
selection.
The title of Miss May Secbler's essay
was "Silent Forces of Nature." She
told of how the great deeds of nature
are done so silently and how quiet in
fluences at. work have brought about
great results. Her essay was well re
ceived. .
Miss Bessie French recited in a charm
ing manner "Magdalena ; or the Span
ish Duel." The poem was one of those
soft Spanish tales of love and combat,
and the fair reciter gave it with much
expression, indicative of natural ability
and careful elocutionary training. 1
The next piece was "To Thee, O Coun
try," sung by the Double Quartette
with good effect, Following this came
the oration of Miss Pearle Butler. The
title was "Monuments Imperishable."
The young lady, in fittingly-chosen
language and much dramatic effect,
spoke of those monumnnts whicn did
not perish and to which the world owed
much. - She 'paid high tribute to the
men who endowed our great universi
ties, which are "Monuments Imperish
able." A selection "Gently Sighs the Breeze,"
sung by Hattie Cram, Lena Thompson,
Lizzie Bonn and Grace Glenn, closed the
evening's performance. -
Prof. Gavin and his corps of instruc
tors can feel well pleased at the success
of their efforts. ' The exhibition made a
good impression upon the hearers and
bore evidence of the high standard of
work done by our public schools.
AT THE ACADEMY PARK SCHOOLS.
The Academy Park school is surely
unrivalled in its surroundings. Familiar
as it is to every visitor yesterday every
voice exclaimed in praise of the mag
nificent view, the beauty of the park
and the airy sweetness of the rooms.
This building is under the charge of the
Misses Rintoul, Miss Phirman and Miss
Flinn. These teachers have all proved
before their fitness for their work and if
any recent comer was among the .audi
ence they must have speedily been con-,
verted te this belief that he pupils are
fortunate in the intelligent, wise and
loving guidance under which they are
placed. The only thing to criticize was
in the small accomodation for visitors
Land it was not only small but poor when
you had it. It would be well if so
large a building be planned to afford one
good sized, well arranged audience hall
In the program, the violet drill perhaps
appealed most strongly to the sentiment
of beauty, but the patriotic drill was
not only beautiful but touched a deepe:
chord. It would be a great boon to our
lovely town if such delightful occasions
as this could be afforded semi-annually
We are sorry not to be able to give a
more extended mention of the different
exercises, but it was impossible to be
everywhere at once and so we can only
publish the remaining programs Mou
day, which on account ot Jack of room
were omitted today. .
MEMORIAL SERVICES LAST NIGHT
A. K. and Woman's Belief Corps At-
the Congregational Church--An
Sloquenv Sermon.
The Congregational church was filled
last evening to its utmost capacity by an
audience gathered to observe memorial
services. Long before the time of open
ing the church was well filled, the seats
in the front and middle of the church
being reserved for the Grand Army vet
erans and Woman a Relief Corps
Promptly at 8 o'clock these organizations
marched into . the church with the
national colors borne before them. The
number of veterans is each year growing
less and it is fitting that increased honor
be shown them as the years hasten to
the last roll call. ' Upon occasions like
that of last night the younger generation
is reminded of the sacrifice their fathers
underwent to give them the heritage of
a united country.
Two large flags one draped in grace
ful folds in the the right hand corner of
the church and the other wrapped around
a pillar made a pretty decoration, while
numerous vases of roses placed around
the pulpit added much to the effect
The decorating was done under the
supervision of a young ladies' committee
composed of the Misses Etta Story, Alma
Schmidt and Laura Thompson.
The singing by the choir was very fine
and enjoyed by the audience. . The reg
ular church choir was augmented by the
assistance of several from other church
choirs. Those who sang last night were
Mrs. Huntington, Mrs. Varney, Miss
Sampson, Mies Gwilt, Miss Schmidt, Dr,
Doane. Mr. Davenport, Mr. Johnson,
Mr. MacLafferty and Mr. Crandall. Two
anthems were sung by the choir. Miss
Gwilt of Portland, sang the solo,
"Nearer, My God, to Thee," very ac
ceptably.
The address by Mr. Curtis we would
not attempt to describe. Its composi
tion was so rich in thought and graceful
in expression, while its delivery was
marked with such an intensity of feeling
that the impression . made upon his
hearerwas unusually great. Especially
eloquent were the passages describing
the night on the battlefield of the
Wilderness, when Grant riding around
the camp was seen by the tired soldiers
and a cheer broke forth that was heard
in the enemy's camp. Grant's face was
set towards Richmond and the soldiers
knew that the days of inactivity and re
treat were over and that victory lay
almost within their grasp. Mr. Curtis
preached from the text "Guard well that
which is given tbee, and a more
masterly effort would be bard to find.
The exercises closed with the singing by
the congregation of ".My Country, 'Tis of
Thee,". followed "by a benedict by Rev.
Mr. Hazel of the Christian church-
A PERTINENT QUERY.
An Anxious Citizen Writes of a Danger-
ons Practice.
E dittos Dalles Chronicle : The
writer would breathe a sigh of relief if
some way ' could . be found to ' prevent
boys from jumping on and off trains as
they are running, sometimes, at com
paratively high rate of speed through
the streets of our city. ' From one to, a
dozen boys, who seem to have no regard
of their lives or limbs, board almost
every train that passes the Umatilla
House during the day, and unless some
thing is done soon to stop this practice,
a few parents will be mourning empty
chairs or some boy will be maimed for
life. Only yesterday one of our boys at
tempted to climb on an engine which
was drawing a heavy train and his foot
slipped from a step, throwing his leg
directly in front of the wheels of the
tender. Only his agility prevented the
loss of the limb. Some clumsy boy will
try this trick once too often, just for fun,
and the next thing will be a suit for
heavy damages.
Have we not a city ordinance under
which the city officers can act and com
pel the boys to respect their lives?.
Respectfully, ,
Q. Z.

' Bertie Stewart, a woman of the town,
wasrarrested this morning by Constable
