' Dalles this week. The celebration and
circns have attracted large crowds.
The judges for the bicycle parade
were T. A. Hudson, E. Schannoand Ed
Martin. Harry Esping was given the
first prize of $10 fur the best decorated
wheel.
' A la, ge number of people are in from
the country today witneasing the circus
We are having a second edition of the
Fourth of July, judging from the crowds
on the street.'
The county court is still in session and
will probably not finish its labors till
next week. So far nothing but routine
business has been done. A full report
will be published later.
There will be services at the Lutheran
church next Sunday and one week from
nest Sunday, at 10:30 a. m., Sunday
school at 9 :S0 a. m. A cordial invita
tion by paster and congregation.
. Quite a number of Mazamas came up
on the Regulator yesterday and landed
at White Salmon. Many will follow
later. The Mazamas are going to camp
at Trout Lake this year and capture Mt
Adams.
Now if the weather bureau will stand
in and give na the right sort of weather,
we will ask no more favors for another
year. Good crops this season will make
good times in the fall and there will be
lots of money in circulation.
The Regulator made over 185 miles on
the Fourth and carried 412 passengers.
The boat line was never as popular as it
is today and its popularity is increasing.
Many excursionists who made the trip
yesterday and on the Fourth spoke in
high terms of their courteous treatment.
A lady came rushing into the postoffice
this morning, exclaiming as she did so,
"I am so glad I got here before you
closed np. I was afraid the office would
be ehut." The postmaster explained
that under the present administration
circus days did not come in the same
category as Fourth of Julys.
The circus parade this morning at
tracted a large crowd. The side walks
on Second street were crowded with
people and the porches and windows
filled with spectators. The proces
sion was slow in starting but was all
right when it did come. All circns
parades aie a good deal alike and there
was the usual aggregation of painted
wagons, animals, clowns and gaily ap
parelled men and women.
One of our bicyclists came wheeling
down the street today and just in front
of Mclnerney's store met a chinaman.
There was a misunderstanding of signals,
and in a minute the young man, china
man and bicycle were a mixed up heap
in the street. It resulted in nothing
OArao rVian ffivitfaViinsv omiftiDrriant f-s
'the passers by.
A number of bicyclists paraded the
streets last night with their, wheels as
decorated for the fourth. They made a
beautiful sight. All the wheels were
decorated with lighted Chinese candles
and made a pretty effect. Especially
noticeable were the Wheels of Harry Es
ping, Joe Bonn, Charlie Fritz, Will
Nichols, J. E. Hartnett and Miss Flor
ence Hilton. .- '
James Blakeney is in good humor to
day, having come out victorious in the
contest for marshal. He has made a
good officer during the past year and we
ara sure will serve the city Well for
another term. There was some hfcrd
work done for the different candidates
and Mayor Menefee will breathe easier
now, not having to be bothered by ap
plications and friends who wanted to
say a word in favor of different candi
dates. The case of Lee Morehouse, charged
with larceny, was tried before Justice
Day is yesterday. G. W.' Phelps ap
peared for the state and N. H. Gates for
the defendant. After hearing the testi
mony the justice bound the- prisoner
over to await the grand jury. Bonds
were placed at $250. Constable Urqu
bart made a clever capture in this case,
having tracked the man be was hunting
to Cascades and caught him when' he
was about to take the boat to Portland.
The snbject announced for services at
the tent this evening is "The Sabbath of
the Bible." The questions "Why was
the Sabbath institution given?" and
"Which day is the Sabbath?" will be
answered from the Scriptures. For
Sunday evening the subject will be "The
Change of the Seventh Day to the First
IfcVb the Week." Any questions the
audience may ask upon these important
tliomAB will Ha nnawANKl with rh;Bfi,i.
courtesy. All are cordially invited to
come and hear. ' "Prove all things ; hold
fast that which is good ;' I Thess. v :21.
One of the victims of the Silver Lake
horror passed through The Dalles today
She is a young girl 14 or 15 years old and
her face is fearfully bnrned, the nose be
ing almost gone and the lips and cheek
dreadfully ecarred. The father accom
panied her and they tell a most pitiful
story. The mother and several of the
family perished on that dreadful night,
one of the boys losing bis life in trying
to save his mother. It is hard to realize
till brought in contact with evidences of
it what a terrible thingjthat catastrophe
was.
The baseball nine from Wamic were
in The Dalles on the Fourth expecting
to play with the Hood "River club. The
acceptance of the latter clubs challenge
had been published in two issues of The
Chronicle, and the captain of the Wa
mic club telephoned to Hood River, con
cerning the game. The Wamic boys
understood, and said they were led to
believe, that the Hood Rivers would
come,' and aro greatly disappointed at
not seeing them. Under the circum
stances, the boys claim the champion
ship of Wasco county, and are ready any
day to defend the claim. The following
players make up the nine: Clyde Bon
ney, c ; Frank Roberts, p ; W. Hunt,
lb; J. Davidson, 2b; W. H. McAtee,
3b; J. Kennedy, ss ; D. Miller, rf; B.
Roberts, cf; D. McGraves, If; John
McAtee, sub.
Monday's Daily.
Mr. Frank Chase, whose place is
about four miles from town, made final
proof before the land office today.
The county court resumed business
this morning and is grinding out a grist
of bills. The session will probably close
this evening.
Two men, charged with pickpocketing,
appeared before the city recorder this
morning. Their cases were postponed
till this afternoon, when their examina
tion will be held.
Flimflam was king on circus day. Re
ports come in continually of people
whose credulity was more than their
good judgment. The circus people can
be considered smooth. .
The Regulator brought up no freight
Saturday on account of the Fourth of
July. She will have a large load to
night, as the Dalles City brougut a good
cargo to the Locks Saturday.
Badgers are getting common these
days. Beside the one that came to the
Cosmopolitan hotel several days ago,
one strayed to the depot last night and
was caught by some workmen.
A resident living in the old garrison
was arrested last night, charged with
being insane. After an examination
this morning his mind was found good
enough for ordinary purposes and he was
turned loose.
Rev. C. P. Bailey, of the First Baptist
church of Prineville, preached at the
Calvary Baptist church of this city, yes
terday morning and evening. He will
preach again this evening at 7:30. All
are cordially welcomed.
A small party was given in honor of
little Carmel Bolton this afternoon, at
the residence of Mrs. J. W. French.
The little ones bad a delightful time on
the grassy lawn and the day will be long
remembered as a red letter one"
The Regulator carried away a large
load of freight and passengers this morn
ing. Sixty-nine bales of wool formed a
part of the cargo. The tourist travel on
the lower beat is also very good, and
many excursianists are being carried.
The hotels did a large business last
weeki. The town was full of strangers
attending the celebration and circus.
Every room in the different hotels was
taken,' and some people were unfortu
nate enough not to be able to get Bleep
ing accommodations. N
The California .winebouse has moved
to town on Court street, between Front
and Second, and its proprietor wants to
inform his friends that he will sell wine
there by the gallon at the same reasona
ble prices until further notice, when it
can be had in less quantities. . 8-d2t
The hot weather has caused people to
think of seeking cooler climes, and camp
ing parties and trips to the seashore are
being projected. . A large number of our j
people expect to leave Wednesday for
the ocean beach and more will follow
later. The trip from The Dalles to the
beach by water is very pleasant and
close connections save the traveller any
long waits.
In the services at the tent this evening
the subject of "Conversion" will be dis
cussed. ' The source of converting power,
the conditions under which it operates;
its effect upon man and the part of
man's nature, which is changed by con
version, are features which will be con
sidered. City Treasurer Bnrget informs The
Chronicle that the money from the sale
of city bonds has left ' Boston and will
reach The Dalles about July 12th. The
amount is 1(38,000. When the coiu ar
rives Mr. Burget will issue a call for all
city warrants and pay them. The
Dalles will then' be on a cash basis and
the first steps in a more rigid econom
ical government will have been taken.
.. Word has just been received that
Archie Bassoni, the grandson of Mr.
Alex McLeod of Kingsley, was killed by
being thrown from a horse in Sherman
county. His body was brought to King-
sley, where the funeral takes 'place to-
day. The young man was a brother to
Miss Annie Bassoni of whose death from
poisoning mention was ' made in this
paper some time ago.
The wool receipts at the warehouses
show signs of lessening. The number
of wagons arriving are not so many as
several days ago and the greater bulk of
this season's clip has probably been re
ceived. The. Prineville Review, how
ever, says there is still a good deal of
wool in Crook county bound for The
Dalles. It is yet too soon to give any
correct estimate of the total amount
which will be shipped from The Dalles
this season.
The Hood River campmeeting begins
July 25th, at the Belmont camping
ground. A nnmberof efficient ministers
have een engaged and a profitable time
expected. Those who como in teams
can pasture them at reasonable rates.
Hood River is a beautiful place and the
campground pleasantly situated. A
cordial invitation is extended for all to
attend and help make the meeting a
success. Those who go should take their
tents and prepare to camp. Rev. T. D.
Gregory and Rev. F. L. Johns will be
the pastors in charge.
One of Prineville's best young men
fell a victim to the slippery ways of
circus men Saturday, ana counts uis
loss at $4. It was the change racket
that did the work, a one dollar bill be
ing substituted, tor a nve, ana in ine
hnrry the recipient did not notice the
deception until too late to raiee a fuss.
But the Prineville visitor got off luckily,
hard-working citizen of The Dalles
concluded he had too much money, and
nnloaded $100 in a gambling game. He
is an employee of the railroad company,
and should have known better. Several
similar financial fatalities occurred.
A gentleman, who. is in town for a
short time, was one of the passengers on
the Southern Pacific train which was
robbed. He said it was a novel exper
ience, but one that he did not wish re
peated. . The suspense of waiting to see
what was going to happen was the worst.
This gentleman hid his money and val
uables, all but $11, and when the robber
came along offered to give him a check.
The gentlemanly brigand declined with
thanks, took the $11 and passed to the
next victim. .The bombs exploding on
theontside made an infernal noise and
scared the passengers more than any
part of the performance.
There has been some talk on the
streets and other places concerning the
building of a telephone from'The Dalles
southward to Dufur, Kingsley and possi
bly points at greater distance. In an in
terview with Mr. J. W. Condon, the
manager of the company, that gentle
man stated that his company stood ready
to build the line as soon as a suitable
inducement shall be given by dwellers
along the route. The expense of the un
dertaking would be very large and unless
a bonus were given the scheme could not
well be considered. A telephone line to
these places would be a great conven
ience to business men and it is hoped
sufficient inducements can be given to
insure its establishment.
The Syndicate circus was well attended
Saturday at both the. afternoon and
evening performance. Large crowds
were in from the country and the streets
of .The Dalles were never more crowded
with people. The circus was much en
joyed ' by the spectators and was well
worth more than the price of admission.
Some of the attractions were by far the
best ever in The Dalles. Especially fine
were the bicycle riders, some of whose
feats were marvelous. They were as
much at ease on their wheels as though
walking on the ground and would ride
around the platform in all kinds of diffi
cult manners. 'The Japanese performers
were also remarkably good and per
formed many new and difficult acts.
Taken altogether the circus gave good
satisfaction and would be well attended
should it return.
Tuesday's Dally.
The weather forecast for tomorrow is
stationary and Thursday cooler.
The upper river and Che Columbia are
falling. This is what . the fisherman
want.
Parties having bills against the Fourth
of July committeo are requested to
present them to the treasurer, Henry J.
Maier, at once.
Rev. C. P. Bailey of Prineville will
preach in the Calvary Baptist Church
tonight at 8 o'clock. A cordial invita
tion is extended to everyone.
The Taine Class met last evening at
the residence of Mrs. Wilson. The
ladies passed a pleasant evening reading
and discussing Taine's lectures .on Car
Ivle. .
Eight cars loaded with telegraph poles
and supplies passed through The Dalles
today. The poles are for use between
here and Portland. Workmen will start
from Portland and work this way, re
placing the old poles with larger new
ones. .
A gang of me.n are at work on the rail
road east of Seuferts, blasting and mak
ing improvements on the roadbed. The
expenditures which the railroad com
pany is making will be for its permanent
good and reflect credit on the manage
ment. The Regulator was well loaded with
wool on her downward trip. ' This ship
ment is by Mr. J. H. Sherar and the
bales are extra large ones, three sacks
being compressed into one bale. There
is a large amount of wool awaiting con'
eignnient by the boat. ' " ' "
During the wind this morning the new
circus bulletin., board on, Second street,
near Peaee St : Mays' warehouse,- blew
down and the lions, tigers,, tight rope
walkers and bicycle riders lay in th
dust.,. Workmen were quickly employed
to straighten it again.
John Parrott, who was one of the men
nominated for marshal by Mayor Men
efee but lacked confirmation, thinks
some of contesting the election of Mr,
Blakeney. Mr. Parrott claims there wal
a mistake ana that be was legally
elected. He purposes of bringing con
test proceedings. - ,
An east wind has been blowing all
day. Some have been anxious of its
effects on the growing gra'm. The wind
has been cooler than generally at this
time of the year and unless it is long;
continued we doubt if any damage is
done. The day has been hazy, which
will aid in protecting the crops.
The worx at toe nign trestle is now
completed and trains are running over
the new grade. The rails have been
taken off the bridge and laid on the
grade and passengers will no longer
hold their breath as the train passes this
point. The company have shown wis
dom, as this piece of the road, before the
change, was one of the most dangerou
on the road. The bridge will probably
be torn down and the timber used in
other places.
Last evening the Independent Work'
ers Lodge, I. O. G. T., held a pleasan
session at their lodge room and under
good of the order, decided to hold
soufal
in their hall next Monday! even
ing. The
secretary was instructed -to
send an invitation to the three lodges in
this district, Fairview, Frazier and The
Dalles lodges, asking them to join in the
social. A nice musical and literary pro
gram win ne given, followed by ice
cream and cake. A good time is ex
pected and everybody invited, including
those who are not members of the order
as well as thoso who are. A small ad
mission will be charged and the pro
ceeds used for the good of the temper
ance work.
Last night about 9 o'clock, W. A
Jackson died at the Columbia hotel
Mr. Jackson bad been sick with asthma
for four or five years, but was not con
fined to bis bed till about two weeks ago
bince that time ne grew steadily worse
and his death was momentarily ex
pected. The deceased has been a reei
dent of The Dalles for a period covering
fifteen years, but a portion of the time
was spent at Albina, where he was em
ployed in the carshops. He leaves
wife and one child in Portland, besides a
stepson, George Galley, in this city, who
have been notified of his death. The
body has been taken to the undertaking
parlors, where the funeral will be held
Interesting- Letter From Mr. Sargent
The editor received another pleasant
letter from Mr. Sargent, a portion of
which will b'eof interest to his many
friends in The Dalles and can be pub
lished. Mr. and Mrs. Sargent will soon
be home after their extended Eastern
trip. Mr. Sargent writes:.
"After leaving my native town
Chester, Vt., I thought that where'er
in life may be my lot, dear Chester shall
never be forgot. Four hours by rail
brought us to Lowell, Mass., where we
were married fifty-seven years ago and
we stood in the same room. We visited
the cotton mills and a few points of in
terest, and then on to Boston, the
"Hub," where the houses were so thick
and tall we could not see the city at all
After a two days' stay we were on the
road to Washington, D. C, where we
now are. We visited the capital first
and in the representative chamber saw
the desks of both our congressmen and
Reed of Maine, whose desk is entirely
stripped of its velvet, covering and
carried away as souvenirs.
"We saw the soldiers cemetery, where
lie 6595 soldiers brought from the front
in the late war and buried here. It con
tains nineteen acres and all the room is
now occupied. Arlington cemetery is
now used. We spent one day at Mt
Vernon, where the father of our country
rests on the banks of the Potomac. '
"When we bid good bye to Washing'
ton we leave for Chicago, homeward
bound. And now no more till I take
you by the hand in The Dalles, the
loveliest place to live in I have seen in
my rambles."

ers, as it shows just how the city stands,
When the money from the bonds ar
rives the outstanding warrants will be

the warrants redeemed during the last
few weeks.

have endeavored to give the council
herein; and thanking the council for
their courtesies towards me during my
administration, I am
Very respectfully,
Douglas S. Durua,
Recorder of Dalles Citv.
Mr. Max Yogi's .Enterprise.
The Dalles has always known that its
pioneer citizen, Air. .Max vogt. was
among its most enterprising inhabitants.
The magnificent buildings which he has
built in times past and which adorn our
city are evidence of his progressiveness.
When the destructive fire of 1891 de-
troy ed the beautiful opera house which
bore his name, many thought that it
would never ' be rebuilt and that years
would pass before The Dalles could
again boast of such an elegant building.
ut this spring Mr. Vogt decided to re
build and with characteristic energy
went to work clearing out the rubbish
that the fire had brought, and workmea
were eoon busy re-fashioning what re
mained of the building.
Today the opera house is nearly com
pleted, and a visit to the building make
the behoider, glad that The Dalles
has such a wide-awake citizen within its
midst. The new structure will be fully
the equal, with the present exception of
a gallery, of its predecessor, and in some
sespects superior. The dimensions are
125x60 feet and a stage .30x60. The
walls are plastored, and will be suitably
decorated. Large windows in the north
side give an abundance of light, while
three large double doors provide liberal
means of egress in case of a panic. The
stage is large enough to accommodate
a theater troupe of any size, and the
seating capacity of the house will hold
comfortably an immense audience.
Under the stage are convenient dressing
rooms and military quarters. Suitable'
company officers and social rooms have,
been provided. The Dalles can boast of
tbe finest opera house in Eastern Oregon
and no better name could be found than
the Vogt Grand.
The Bad Side of a Circus,
To the Editor: A circus is little
benefit to any community, and the one
here Saturday was no exception to the
rule.':; Aside from the cash that is taken
out of circulation from the community,
every scheme for the robbing of its pa
trons is encouraged by the managers.
One gentleman, we know not how
many more, was asked by the ticket
seller to give $5 in currency in exchange
for $5 in silver, the ticket agent stating
that he had too much silver. ..The gen- .
tleman handed up a $5 bill, whereupon
the ticket agent pretended to have his
attention called ' away, and- saying
"Never mind, I can't attend to it now,"
pretended to hand the bill back ; but a
few moments afterward the gentleman-
examined tbe bill and found he had
been given, a $1 bill instead. In the
morning the managers obtained from
one of the banks in the city all the $1 .
bills they had on hand, and th'e incident
referred . to explains the use they mads)
of them. A few arrests for such swin
dling might benefit the public. About
the only way to avoid being robbed by .
a circus is to stay at home. X. X.
Tbe Latest From Frnlt.
Saturday's bulletin to Mr. W. F. Pink-
ham, manager of the Fruit Union at Tbe
Dalles, gives the latest advices regarding
the fruit situation. The markets for
cherries today are still lower, selling for
65 to 75 cents in Montana and 8pokane.
At Denver cherries bring 75 to 90 cents ;
Omaha, 75 cents. Home grown rasp
berries get $1 .50 to $2 for 24-pou rid crates.
Colorado strawberries, $2. Missouri
blackberries aro coming in large quan
tities and with an immense crop of
home grown berries prices will rule low.
California peaches and apricots are sell
ing from G5 cents to $1.25. 200 boxes of
cherries shipped by Offner of Wails
Walla, sold this morning for 50 cents
per box. Portland shipping cherries are
selling for 3 cents. . The demand is not
very brisk and the prices will not ad
vance. 1 The cherry season seems about
over and people are buying other fruits.
The further shipment of Royal Annes ia
not advised. Black Republicans, if not
injured by the rain, will carry well but
prices rule low.
A Tribute to Sir. II. M. Beall.
Mr. Eckels is quite well pleased with
the work of the receivers whom he has
appointed in Oregon, especially with
Mr. H. n. Bean, receiver of tne Linn
county National bank, at Albany, who
has worked hard in the interest ot the
depositors. The controller states that
this bank will nndoubtedly pay every
depositor, at leapt 95 per cent on the
