Be rare and come on time, The Regulator haa had a new iron put on the stem. The boat haa to land in all aorta of places and a beary iron Btrip ia necessary to protect the wooden part. Six hundred, and eighty pounds of cherries were shipped to Denver last night by express. Cherries are bringing a good price in the Montana and Denver markets. Today is the hottest of the season and the only comfort is there ia no east wind blowing. A nice rain or a moist west wind would come very welcomely jast about now. The excursion Sunday by the Orches tra is going to be a grand affair. The band practiced last night and some new pieces will be given the people on board the steamer. The upper Columbia rose one-half foot last night. The Snake fell slightly. The Columbia 'at The Dalles will con tinue to rise. The mark this morning registered 22.2 feet. A game of baseball will be played next Sunday at the fair grounds, be tween The Dalles nine and high school nine. No admission will be charged, bat a good contest is promieed.

Miss Edna Glenn has been chosen goddess of liberty for the Fourth of July celebration. The executive committee have secured Miss.F. M. Hilsdale of White Salmon to assist in the singing.' The young lady is said to be a vocalist of merit. ' ' The case against Murray and Heater has been on trial during the day before Justice Davis. A few witnesses were examined last night and a large number today. As there were a good many points of law to be looked up and de cided, Justice Davie took the matter of a decision under advisement until this evening at 7:30. The Regulator brought np a separator and horse power last night, which took 1 1 .1 1 1 r . . , up nu me epure room on me iront ueeK. The weight was many thousand pounds and it took considerable time to load and unload the machinery. The boat was delayed about a half an hour last night on this account, but it goes to show that the steamers can handle any kind of freight that is given them to carry. . The Chronicle was treated to a teast this morning, which was greatly ap preciated. Dr. Hesee, who is an artist in the culinary line, had cooked a royal salmon and the lion's share reached this office. The fish was cooked by being wrapped in paper and placed in the ashes of a furnace, when it was heated slowly and thoroughly cooked. Every one- remarked that a nicer or better cooked fish they had never eaten. - The Columbia hose team have selected their runners for the contest. Arthur Clarke is captain and the runners, who have been chosen, are as follows: Lewis Porter, Chas Cooper, Ray Logan, F. Van Nordeo, H. A. Bills, Fred Clark, Jes. Bonn, Ralph Rowland, Max A. Vogt and J. Fisher. The boys are actively practicing and are going to make a big effort to capture the trophy. . The hoBe companies from Jackson and Colombia companies were cut practicing on Third street last night. The teams are not yet complete and there will be changes in the make up of both of them. Good runners have been selected and exciting contests are promised. - After the races here, in all probability, a team will be selected to take part in the contest at Vancouver later in the season. The meetings still continue each even ing at the tent on Second and Liberty streets. The subject announced for this evening is, "The Day of Jodgment," the discussion of which will be both prac tical and theoretical from a scriptural basis, enforced and elucidated by refer ence to Euch texts as Acts xvii:xxxi; Matt, xxv : 31-46 ; Dan. vii : 8-14 ; Rev. xivt'oVM and others. " The gentlemen are forcible speakers and people would do well to 20 and hear them. As noticed elsewhere the members of thn Woman's Relief Corns and the O. A. E. in The Dalles, are going to give a re ception to the department officers next Saturday. The Dalles has been greatly honored by election of a number of its resident tp high offices in these organi zations and. the reception Saturday night is given as a compliment to them and as a recognition- of the appreciation of our members fpr the honor conferred upoa. thein. A quarterly inspection of the militia will take place this evening at the armory. Col. Thompson has iesned or ders to have both the staff, company G and the Hospital Corps appear at 8 o'clock, folly uniformed and equipped. The, fields and staff will report to the colonel,, and the non-comraissioned staff to the adjutant.. There wilt doubtless be a good man y visitors to see th bova dressed up IntbeirbeaU. The DaJlefeaa the headquarters- for- ttwft regiment, should take a greats intoeeCm the militia and its welfare ' A very pleasant party ws gtyQ. ye terday afternoon by MrB. M Randall, at her home on the hill. The day ms the 35tn anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Ran dall's marriage and the members of the King's Daughters and Good Intent society were invited to join in the occa sion's festivities. the afternoon was passed very pleasantly in social conver sation, after which a bountiful lunch waa served. Many congratulations were given upon the auspicious occasion and wishes that the next thirty-five years would be as happy as the last thirty-five have been. : . The spirited team belonging to Mr; E. E. Lytle added much to the excitement of last evening. Mr. Lytle was oat driv ing and stopped at the Cold Storage works to ' attend to some business. While he was inside the horses became impatient and started off on their own accord. - The further they went the faster and soon they tore up Second street at the regulation runaway speed. Passing E. J. Collins & Co.'s feed yard they thought it a place to gel a meal and turned in, at the same time trying to knok a big freight wagon out of the road. It was the sauie old story of an irresistible force and an immovable body. The horses went one on each side of the freight wagon and the tongue the buggy was broken to splinters. The horses were not injured nor the buggy, except the tongue, much dam aged. Tnnrsday's Daily The thermometer registers today 99 degrees in the shade. - It will be cooler next winter. beventy-three boxes of cberries were shipped by tbe Pacific Express company ast night to Denver. They were sent by the Oregon Fruit Union. The Regulator . had a large passenger list down this morning. Many people are starting for the coast and the exodus will le regular from now on. Sann I.-Hirota, a native of Japan, now pursuing his studies at Pacific Uni versity, will lecture at the Congrega tional church Sunday evening next. Over one hundred children of the nvenile Temple will ride in the Fourth of July procession. Forty-four will be in the liberty car, and tbe remainder in wagonettes. Charles Schutz and H. Raedicke, who have occupied the same office for some time, have dissolved all business connec tions and from this time on each one will conduct his business independently. The steamer Regulator will leave The Dalles at 7 p. m. July 3d, and lay at Cascades until 6:30 a. an. July 4th. This will accommodate the Elks who intend visiting the Locks, without loss of time. Mr. Buker, of Grant county, sold his wool today for 11 cents a pound. This, as far as we are able to ascertain, is the top notch that has been paid this season. Transportation competition is what ben efits a country. Tickets are selling rapidly for the ex cursion next Sunday and the trip prom ises to be a great success. The Turners from Portland will come on board at Cascades and there will be lots of music on the steamer. Miss Nellie Butler of this city has been elected a teacher in the public schools of Portland. She will have charge of one of the primary rooms in the Holliday addition addition school on the east side. The weather forecast we have too much weather now says warm wea ther is prevailing. It will be cooler Saturday, but no' provision is made for Friday. Tbe river is rising now, and will rise faster after Saturday. We wonder what the weather bureau has against us, anyway. ' Not only one reputable make of piano to select from at the Jacobsen Book & Music Co., but such as Chickering, Hardman, Fisher," and other pianos from $150 upward, on the installment plan if desired. John Gomez caught a large sturgeon in bis wheel above town yesterday. The fish measured 9 feet 8 inches in length. The salmon are coming a little better now, but the prospects for anything like a good catch are extremely small. The subject announced for ibis even ing's discourse at the Seventh Day Ad Tentist tent ia "God's Message for To day," a three-fold proclamation of im pending judgment to the last generation of, men. -. The discourse will be based upon tbe scriptural evidences found in Rer. xiv: 6-12, and our Savior's parable of the "Great Supper, found in Luke xiv: 16-24. ' f The arrangements for the celebration at 8-Mile are all-completed and a pleas ant day is assured everyone who will attend the pretty grove at Henry Wil liams.' place. - The only admonition which those in charge of the day wish observed is to bring your lunch baskets. The; liberty car for the celebration is to be composed of members of the Juve nile Temple. The balance of its mem bers will ride in carriages. AH members of both Juvenile Temples are to meet on next Saturday at their respective halls to make necessary preparations. The, meetings will be at the regular 'boars.' , . ' A large-shipment of fruit wilt -be made this season from Lyle Up the valley back from the landing a good many orchards have been planted which are jnafc beginning to bear and the owners expect return now from other years of labor, A leading farmer at Lyle has just bad, ft : large number of fruit boxes shipped him from Tbe Dalles., A man has been arrested who. is thought to have been the one-, who sev eral days ago tried to start a fire in the east end Of town. He was seen carrying hay in the neighborhood and was keep- ingaround that locality for some time. Tha suspecc has been before the recorder oa another serious charge ana bound over to wait tbe grand jury with bonds placed at $150. The hot weather has brooght swim nting into vogue, and every day bathers can be seen going to bath in, the cool waters of the. Columbia. In the-earn -ner- evenings bathing is a pleasant di version, ndL there are many good placets along the, shores to swim. The water of the Columbia, is colder than the waters of most rivers, and the daring swimer must be careful not to venture too far, for fear of cramps. A pleasant party was given during the week at the farm of Judge Ben nett up Mill creek. A number of ladies were invited by Mrs. Bennett and the wagon ette sent to bring them into the country. The shade of tbe trees was delightful and the change from the hot weather of tbe town to the cool air along the creek made the daj enjoyable to all. A de licious repast was served out of doors after which the guests returned home.'''; In last Saturday's issue the Item about tbe crazy man at the courthouse switched the names arounS and instead of Williams, the insane man's. name, be-H ing printed, read the name of Jack Powers, the , deputy " sheriff, instead. Everyone vho is acquainted with. Jack Powers knows he is too good natured to ever get to the asylum and it is doubt ful if he ever thinks himself worth a million dollars as the poor crazy inaA did. Mr. James McMillan, . of Sherman county, was in The Dalles yesterday on bis way to Portland. He says that up to this week the grain was in. good con dition and could stand three or four days of hot weather- provided the east wind did not blow. The grain in some parts of this county and especially near Boyd and for a few miles south is said to be commencing to barn. The volunteer wheat is not doing well in any localities and the spring crop will be short. If the weather changes after today and cool winds come from the west we may make out a fair yield in the fall sown grain. Never in the history of this county have the farmers desired a good harvest more, as the price will undoubtedly be good and if we get an average yield money will be plenty in the fall. The regular inspection of the militia took place last night in the armory. Company G turned out with a good number, considering tbe fact that there are many who are out of town at this time of the year. Lt.-Col. Patterson in spected tbe company, and found every thing in good condition. Most ' of the colonel's staff were present, and all tbe company's officers. A number of gen eral orders from tbe brigade commander were read, and also tbe reports of the board of discipline, which considered several offenses against the order of the company. Tbe night was so excessively warm that tbe men were allowed to sit during the reading by the sergeant, and the regular drill was cut short. A great deal of interest is taken by tbe boys in tbe military organization, and but few cases of a breach against discipline are reported. ' Military Orders. Hdqrs. Thibd Rbgt. Inoty.,0. N. G.)

The following advices have just been received by the manager of the Oregon Fruit Union in The Dalles and by him furnished The Chronicle.: Oregon Fruit Union sold in Denver to day Royal Anne cberries, $1.25 ; cur rants, 241b crate, $2.50. Helena, cher ries, 903$1; currants, $2.50. Butte, cherries, 75$1 ; currant, $2.21. Orarha, market doll, cherries, .80$1, good stock,' other stock bringing but little. St. Louis, cherries, good demand, $1.25 $1.50. Duluth, cherries, $1.50; black- i berries. S3.50: earlv rtear.hefi. HI. aaod demaild. Cleveland, cherries. $i$1.25; early peaches, .80$1. Sioux City, cherries, $1$1.25. These prices net the shipper from 5 to 10 cents per pound for cherries ; 5 to 7 cents for currants ; 9 cents for blackberries. There will be three cars, mostly cber ries, leaving Oregon tonight. You can readily see if two of these cars would go to the eame market, tbe disastrous re sult, also if one car would go to some of the markets it would lessen the price. Sioux City will not stand over 200 boxes of cherries at $1 ; more means less price. The Fruit Union receive telegraphic report every day, which may be consid ered strictly raliable. It will be a great convenience to fruit shippers to know the prices in tbe Eastern market. A Hose Contest, Two Dogs and a Fit lit. Third street was the scene of a lively time last night. In fact the residents along that boulevard never saw so much excitement in so short a space of time. The hose companies were just getting ready to practice, when Guy, tbe big dog belonging to Judge Blakeley, came down the street. It seems there has been blood between Guy and Jack, the dog belonging to Babe Maloney. Juat in front of the engine houses the two dogs met and immediately there was a wailing and gnashing of teeth. Those who saw the fray said it was the hottest contest in the history of the prize ring. Some men rushed in to separate tbe dogs, but nothing had any effect on them neither kicks, blows or impreca tions. At this juncture some of the hoee company boys attached a nose to the plug and turned the water on the fight ers. For ten minutes the dogs were drenched with water, but even that could not cool their ardor. ' Guy 'held the winning band and would have stayed with it till now had not some one touched him rather forcibly on the head with a club and caused him to let go his hold. Members of the different hose companies were holding the nozzle and it was a contest to see which company coord get water first. Installation of tbe Hasten Star. The order of. Eastern Star held their installation ceremonies last night in the Masonic hall. A large attendance of members was present. Mrs. Mary S. Myers was installed grand chaplain by Henry H. Baker, W.

A bountiful banquet had been prepared and after tbe installation of officers the members and their guests sat down and partook of all tbe good things. ' The remainder of tbe evening was spent in social amusements. The large hall is an excellent place for hay ing these interesting exercises, as a large, banquet room is very convenient.
