Some of it went for 7 cents, while the remainder brought 9i cents a pound. t Mrs. Zerka, living on Pentland an Ninth streets, is suffering from a severe attack of erysipelas. Mr. Dave Garrison reports the family as being in destitute circumstances. A stock train consisting of six cars ot cattle and seven of sheep left last even inn for the East. The train went as the first section of the passenger and will make rapid time the whole distance. The cattle and sheep belonged to Mr, Halloway. The wind blew a young tornado about 4 o'clock this morning and has kept up pretty steady trait all day. Old Aeolus or whoever runs the cave of the winds seems determined that the hot wave in the East shall not reach us here. The nOrmal teachers' institute will be beld In The Dalles beginning the first Monday in December. There was some tl-nght of holding it in Hood River in August, but that plan has been given np and The Dalles and December chosen Don't forget the Conundrum lawn ' social at the premises of Geo. W.

The residents of the East End were amused last evening watching a drunken man riding a bucking horse. He stuck to . him pretty well, but was finally thrown, and sought refuge in a saloon just in time to save himself from being arrested. Thb Chronicle office is in receipt of a handsome pictnre of the late Geo. W, Childs, the printers' friend. The like ness is prettily framed and iscJlled a pastelotype. The office is under obliga- tion to the Eureka Chemical and Mfg. Co., of La Crosse, Wis., for this hand some addition to our sanctum. The water commission have placed several water meters in position at differ ent points of the town and the. experi ment proves that the measure taken was a wise one. : The waste that occurs is very large and it is true that a great amount of water needlessly runs which does no good to anyone and materially lessens the supply in the reservoir. The stockyards presented a busy scene last evening. The train for the East was being loaded and " the - corrals were crowded with animals destined fsr the slaughter house. The outside fences were lined with spectators who watched the efforts of the men loading the cars, with a great deal of interest. The cattle were a fine looking lot and will doubt less bring the top notch price in the Eastern market.' ' The moonlight excursion Friday night, June 7th, promises to be one of the pleasantest events of the summer. A trip down the Columbia on a commodious steamer with the music of the Orchestra Union and the hills lit up by the moon light will appeal to any one's fancy. A two hour dance, with music by the orchestra, will be given at Hood River. Fare for the trip including admission') to the hall is only 50 cents. Just to prove that chicken raising is a profitable business, Mr. S. B. Adams showed Tax Chboniclb ' yesterday a piece of gold taken from a chicken's giz zard. The mineral was without a doubt the genuine article and the discovery shows that England is not altogether to of the mountain as a team heavily laden I the month. The Dalles is growing witb wool was coming down.' When the importance as a shipping point and the two wagons were just abreast of one yards present a lively appearance every another a tier of wool slipped from the day. , ..... a 1 I I A.

A civil ase will be scene, an ocean storm. Better the wind tried Friday, which will need a jury, than the sickening beat of the Eastern Court will in. all probability end this states, week.

England and chickens are both fitting subjects of denunciation ' from a long suffering people. , An accident happened to the Golden dale stage Monday that ,came nearly having a fatal termination. The stage was going up the long grade on this side Thev were big fish and no blue backs were caught.. Advice from Astoria say a fair catch was made there and pre dicted that some of the run would work their way up the river. There is no break in the situation and the nsuer- men are looking about as blue as demo crats after the next election. The divorce case of Dietrich vs. Diet rich, which has excited considerable in terest in the town of Dufur, is being tried today before D. S. Dutur, a spec ially appointed referee. H. H. Riddell appears for the plaintiff, while Prosecut ing Attorney Javne is resisting the divorce on the part of the state. The feet. Another rise is expected however. The demurrer to tEe indictment in the E. Martin case was argued and sub in it ted today. The judge took it under advisement. Rev. Dr. Ford of the Paget sound con ierenee, will preach next Sunday at the Methodist church. He is said to be a fluent speaker. The npper rivers show a slight rise, The river here will rise from Saturday, slowly at first. There will be a decided rise next week. The Regulator took a good load freight for way points today. . Part of of case is being hotly contested and much the cargo for Portland consisted of a feeling displayed on both sides, The peneion board met this morning at 10 o'clock in the office of Dr. Doane, and examined several applicants for pensions. The reports of the examin ers are sent to Washington. It may not be generally known that The Dalles has a pension hoard, but such is the case, and it meets at regular intervals. Dr. Wm. Shackelford is president of the board, Dr. O. D. Doane secretary, and Dr. Hugh Logan treasurer. . The city council has made a provision for a city pound and the marshal has been instrueted to take up all cows run ning at large. This will be welcome news to property owners, whose shade trees have served as refreshments to hungry bovines. .City Marshal Blake- ney announces his intention of carrying out strictly the determination of the council, and all cows found at large after this week will find a resting place in the pound. Mr. A. J. Dufur, jr., of Dufur is in the city as a witness in the circuit court. He reports that his father, Hon. A. J. Dufur, is seriously ill and that the family are afraid he will not rally. The aged gentleman is one of Oregon's pioneer citizens und has been a credit to his state from the beginning of bis residence here. He was among the first to intro duce the dairy business in the North west and has always been identified with the progress ot the state. He numbered among his friends and acquaintances all the prominent men who have brought honor to Oiegon The Chboniclk extends its warmest congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. A. J Tolmie, who last night returned from their wedding tour. . They were married last Sunday in Dayton, Wash. Mr. Tol mie holds a responsible position in the etore of Pease & Mays, and though but a short time a resident of The Da1 lee, has made many friends, who will cordially ish him great and lasting good fortune, Mrs. Tolmie (nee Miss Blanche Eckler) is well known in Dayton and Walla Walla, where she is much esteemed for her many accomplishments and social qualities. The happy couple will live in the residence formerly orcupied by Mr, Hilton, near the Mill creek bridge. Tnuisday's Dally Frank Williams is reported better this morning. It is now fonr days since the accident and there is more hope of his recovery.

' The river here will begin rising by Sunday noon and contine rising. Dr. Ford's lecture Monday night' will well entertain all those who can go. Admission 25 cents. The subject will be 'American Conflict, or who shall edu cate onr youth.' The Regulator yesterday took a cargo of Indians for Hood River. They were huddled together on the lower deck in a way that required ingenuity on Purser French's part to tell what was siwash and what was not. N Two carloads of berries were shipped last night from Hood River. This ex pression may seem stereotyped, but every carload means lots of money to shippers this season. The oaggage car was well filled with crates. Senator Mitchell had a conference with the secretary 'of .the interior and secured a recision of the order issued by the department prohibiting sheep from running at large on the Cascade timber reserve, and there will be no such pro hibition of grazing sheep on the reser vation, j D. P. Ketchum shipped four carloads of sheep to the Union Meat Company at Troutdale last night. A big shipment of probably twenty cars ot sheep will be made from this point about the 20th of shipment of hides .. The morning passenger for Portland did not reach here this morning till six o'clock. The trouble was a pile of sand just east of Willows. Mrs. Julian, the lady who was hurt Tuesday in the accident by the railroad, was able to be moved yesterday and taken to her home on 15-Mile creek. The case of Cochrane vs Tunny is on trial today in the circuit court. - Hunt ington & Wilson, W. H. Wilson and J. L. Story are the attorneys in the case. A carload of berries from Hood River was attached to the passenger train last evening. The shipments from The Dalles were not as large as previously. Five cars of wool were shipped from here to Portland today. Several large sales are now under negotiation and shipments may be expected to go regularly. " The Epwortb League will hold a cabi net and business meeting this evening at 7 :3Q in the lecture room of the M. E. church. All members are requested to be present, Travel is increasing steadily all the time. The Regulator carries large lists or passengers both ways, while the local train has a good quota every day. The through trains have well filled coaches, Among those admitted to the bar re cently at Pendleton was Mr. N. J. Sin- not of The Dalles. We predict that he will make one of the brightest attorneys Oregon will have the honor to boast of. Wasco News. At the last militia drill the question of an encampment was informally dis cussed. The general impression seemed to te that if one is beld Hood River would be a suitable place.- We would venture to ask what is the matter with The Dalles being the proper place. Charlie Tibbetts, mention of whose sickness was made in Th Chboniclb last week, is reported much better and the physicians have pronounced his re covery certain. As soon as he is able he will leave California and return to The Dalles. The funeral services of the late Hon. A. J. Dufur were held at Dufur today at 1 o'clock. The remains will reach here this evening and be taken to the under taking rooms of Crandall A Burget, where, after 8 o'clock, friends may call and take a last look at the deceased.

The subject will be "American Conflict; or Who Shall Educate Our Youth?" As this is for the benefit of the church, a large attendance sbonld be present. Dr. Ford is a graceful speaker. Admission, 25 cents. Last night was a beautiful one and to night is going to be its counterpart. Every one who goes on the excursion is going to have a splended time.

This morning two wagons loaded with woo went into the ditch just this side of G. H. Riddell'a place, ten miles from town. A gully crosses the road there, and Is spanned by a bridge. One of the wagons was trailing, and after the bridge was passed, got off the road and tumbled into the gully, dragging the other wagon after it. The gulch is about fifteen feet deep, and the wagons, were made into kindling wood. The horses were not injured. The men are now dragging the wool up to the level, and with the aid of a new wagons will get it into town. Lrst evening at about 6 o'clock Attor ney E. B. Dufur received word that his father was dying at Dufur. The mes senger gave no further particulars, and Mr. Dutur hastened to reach the bed side of bis father before death should come. Leaving town with all baste, he bad just reached the top of the Benson grade when another messenger met bfm saying his father, Hon. A. J. Dufur was dead. The end was not unlooked for, as the aged gentleman had long been ailing, though tbeie had ' been nothing noticeably of late to give any premonition of death. Yesterday after noon he did. not feel as well as usual and lay down. Soon it was seen the end was near, and all the children were summoned. Mr. Dufur lingered uncon scions for some time, and died at about 6 o'clock last evening. . His children, with the exception of Mr. E. B. Dufur, were present at the bedside. Several years ago Mr. Dutur received a stroke that left him in an enfeebled condition. He has lived with his daughter, Mrs, Slasher, in Dufur, but has always been more or less at the homes of his other children. In the death of this venerable gentle' man there' passes away one of Oregon's sturdy characters. Mr. Dufur was horn in Williamstown, Vermont, September 17, 1815, and was thus- in his 80th year at the time of his death. He has al ways been a farmer by occupation, and has beld manv important places in pub lic life. In 1855 he moved 4o Wiscon sin. and two years later was eiectea a member of - the Wisconsin legislature. In 1859 be crossed the plains, and set tled on Columbia Slough, near Portland. Here he . remained till 1872, when tie removed to Wasco county and with bis sons founded the present town of Dnfnr. His property interests hear Portland kept bim a part of the time there, but for the last ten years he hat resided continuously in Eastern Oregon. He leaves three sons, E. B. Dufur, of The Dalles, and Andrew and W. H. H. Dufur of Dufur. Mrs. Ara belle Slusher, at whose house he died, was bis daughter. Mr. Dnfur served in the Oregon legis lature in 1862 and afterwards for two terms was president of the State Agri cultural society. In 1876 he was appointed commissioner for Oregon at the Centenial exposition in Philadelphia and ably represented the state. Mr. Dufur was a highly cul tured and kindly gentleman and his peaceful death was a fitting close to a useful, well rounded life. The friends of his earlier days have passed away and he has joined them. His memory remains a priceless heritage to his children. The funeral services will beheld to morrow at Dutur. Key. a. j. xsrignam will deliver the sermon. The final in terment willtake place in Lone Fir cem' etery, where bis remains will be lie be side those of his wite, who died five years ago. !. . 1 Frightened by the Cars. A very serious and perhaps fatal acci dent happened late yesterday afternoon, near the ice house by the railroad track, just east of town. Mrs. Julian and ber daughter, who live on 15-Milo creek, were driving in a cart. The road at this point is very near to the railroad track and just as the ladies were passing a train came along and frightened the horse. The occupants of the carriage both got ont and tiied to calm the animal. The daughter had hold of the horse's bit while Mrs. Julian held the lines. The horse made a lunge and the wheel of the cart struck Mrs. Julian, knocking her against a large boulder and before she could rise the horse stamped upon her. Mr. A. M. Chapman, who was not far away, rushed to the rescue and the injured lady was soon removed trom danger. At first she was not thought to be injured, but when the ex citement had passed away her pain in' creased and she was not able totmove, Mrs. Julian was immediately brought to town and taken to Mrs. Obarr's, where medical aid was at once summoned The horse's hoof had struck ber in the breast and her spine was also injured This morning shows little improvement in her condition and she is suffering a great deal of pain. The First Anniversary. A year ago today the great flood of 1894 was at its height. . For days previ ous the waters were steadily rising and no one pretended to say when it would stop. Thb Chboniclb of a year ago to dap says: "Mr. Brooks gives is the reading of the guage this morning as be ing 59.5 at 9 o'clock, a rise since yester day at 7:30 of 1.1." me center ot all business was on Washington street. The business of the whole town was huddled in a small space. .New buildings sprang up with a mushroom growth. Branners restau rant, a representation of the Umatilla House, and six or eight other buildings were put up within a day. All kinds of ingenuity were shown in selecting places of refnge, and business men lost no time in at least having a place for their signs. Such a time was never seen before, and we hope no eyes may ever look upon the like again. A chiseled mark in the old Chronicle office, on the corner ot Second and Washington streets, tells a mute story of how the waters rose and covered the land. And th Wool Still Comas. .Two car loads of wool were received this morning at the Wasco warehouse and their contents are being stored, The scene at the warehouses gets more exciting every day. Wool continues to poor in and the records of all former years are broken. Mr. Lord has com pleted a large shed running the entire length of the brick building on the south side and is now putting np more shed ding on the west end. The baler is run ning at full speed and will probably bale about 400 sacks today.' The grading is done under the supervision of Mr. 8. Wilkinson, who has a fine reputation of being well skilled in this work. Large amounts of wool were shipped today to Albany and Oregon City and some to San Francisco. The baler at the Moody warehouse is now at work and is- decreasing the num ber ot sacks to make room for more. The large platforms and a large part of the railroad freight depot are full of wool and the bothering question is how to find room for what is to come. . When Haby was lick, we gre her Castoria. When she was a Child, she cried for Castoria. When she became Miss, she clung to Castoriat When she had Chfldren, she gate them Castoria. FOR THE NEXT ELECTION. , The City Council Appoints Jatlges and Clerks Routine Business. Owing to a rush of local matter yes terday afternoon, some interesting new had to be omitted, and the council re port could not go in until today. Most of the business was of a routine nature. The claim of Mrs. Obarr for damages on account of her honse being quarantined was referred to a special committee, consisting of Coonrilmen A, R. Thorn psou, M. T. Nolan and G. C. Esbelman. The following are the judges and clerks appointed for the city election to be held in a short time: 1 First ward -Judges, R E Saltmarshe, H Whitmore and T Haslam ; clerks, T A Hudson and D Bunnell. Second ward Judes, R W Crandall, F H Wakefield and John Cates; elerks, E P FitzGerald and F H Dietz-1. . Third ward Judges, E Schanno, J M MardenandC E Bayard; clerks, FN Hill and J Doherty. Following are the voting places: First ward In the city marshal's office. Second ward In Wm. Miehell's office. Third ward At the Union street school. An adjourned ssion was held yester day morning, when it was ordered that warrants should be drawn for all clainss allowed from January 1st up to May 31, ioo. Another New Kntorprlee. Mr. Emil Schanno has purchased the lot on the southeast of Front and Wash ington and intends as soon as arrange ments can be completed to commence the erection of a large warehouse. InU probability the building will be occupied by the Oregon Fruit Union as a storage and forwardine warehouse. The dimen sions will be 97x45 feet and will be well arranged for the handling of a large amount of frnit. Mr. Schanno is an old time resident of The Dalles and this move shows his faith in the town aa business point that will increase in im portance in further time. In a conver sation witb the agent of the Fruit Union a Cheoniclk reporter was told that the union was going to remain permanently in The Dalles and that they consider this point an excellent one for the extension of their business. The property was purchased of some heirs of T. W. Miller, a pioneer resident of The Dalles, who died some years ago. For a number of years Mr. Milter bad s tin and hardware store on the corner, but the building was burned down about ten years ago. The Chbonklk wil be glad to see the ground occupied and note another improvement in oar growing city.
