The weather forecast for Sunday is
fair and cooler. Monday, fair and sta
tionary.
' The county court has appointed J. A.
Guihford of Dufar guardian of the estate
and person of James McGaban,who is no
longer capable of attending to bis own
affairs.
At the last meeting of the Colombia
Hose company two new members were
elected. This makes the roll complete
and unless there is a vacancy no more
can join. ; ,
Frank Reynolds of Lyle is lying at the
Umatilla House quite sick. He has
been confined to bed for several days,
and require the frequent attendance of
a physician.
Iu making a report of a concert the
San Francisco Chronicle says: "Miss
Gertrude Minto fallowed, playing Raff's
"Polka de la Reine." She is an excel
lent pianist and without affectation."
A large threshing machine and horse
power came up on the Regulator last
. night. It goes to Peter Niemela, Center
ville, Klickitat county. The farmers in
Klickitat county will bave lots of wheat
to thresh this year.
On account of the absence of the pas
tor, V. C. Curtis, there will be no
preaching at the Congregational church
tomorrow. The Sunday si-hool and
Young People's Society of Christian
Endeavor will meet as usual.
Mr. Bryant, one of the officers of the
reform school, came up from Salem last
night and took young Shontell, who re
cently escaped, back with him. Mc
Murray, the other lad who escaped, is
still at largej and no definite informa
tion is learned of his whereabouts.
A number of Dalles people received
invitations to the wedding of Mies Leah
Jefijsrs to Mr. F. O. Baker, which took
place at North Yakima, July 10th.
Mies Jeffera was a student at ftt. Mary's
Academy in The Dalles several years ago
d is a graduate of that institution.
'The Northern Pacific train passed
through town about 1 o'clock this morn
ing going weet. The accident in the
Stampede tunnel will doubtless be re
paired in a day or two sqthat trains will
run as formerly. All freight traffic on
the Northern is temporarily suspended.
J. M. Huntington is looking for the
person who stole the bells from bis cow.
Somebody is evidently getting a set of
chimes, as two bave been taken in three
- days. Buying cow bells by wholesale
and building a new house are amuse
ments which Mr. Huntington thinks are
too expensive taken together.
There is nothing new regarding the
marshalship contest. When seen today
Mr. Parrott said he had not lully decided
what action would be taken regarding
the maiter. A contest is an expensive
proceeding and he said he did not wih
to undertake the expense unless sure of
winning.
The Regulator is doing a nice wool
business this season and eyery day
carries away a large load. There is yet
a good deal of wool in the warehouses
which is promised to the boat line. The
transfer at the portage works eo
smoothly that there is no delay or
trouble in handling any kind of freight.
Now that the bicyclf is a recognized
institution, and its place in the nine
teentn century civilization will grow
larger, the same rule regarding the way
of turning should be applied to bicycles
as to wagons. In -meeting buggies the
cyclist often turns to the left, and some
times causes confusion, resulting in an
accident. If the maxim -'Always keep
to the riiiht" wereolieerved, there wiuld
be less accidents and narrow escapes of
collisions between bicyclists and horses
The benefits of advertising in The
Chronicle were clearly shown this
morning.' A gentleman who lost a gold
charm in the shape of a sheep, valued
at $50, came to The Chronicle office
and inserted a small advertisement
Today the little daughter of T. A. Ward
found the piece of jewelry, and, ber
father being a reader of The Chronicle,
and necessarily an intelligent man, Lnew
at once where the owner could be found,
The owner ,was joyful to recover bis
keepsake, and has strong faitn in this
paper as an advertising medium. -. ,
The first anniversary of 'the Salvation
Army will be celebrated tonight by ex
ercises, at Win gate hall. The members
of the army are making great prepara
tions f jr the event and will see that so
important an occurrence shall be prop
erly commemorated. At the close of the
exercises' tonight ice cream and cake will
be served. Captain Smith and hid asso-
; elates hope to see a large attendance of
their friends. . The Salvation Army is
well liked in The Dalles and a iittle en
couragement would not come amiss.
Mr. A. Reese, a capitalist of Lawrence.
burg, Ind has completed arrangements
for 'the constructing of. a. large flume
from White river terminating at Victor.
The flume is to be need for irrigating
and milling purposes. ..The plant in
cludes a flouring mill, saw mill and
ehingle mill. - This enterprise will be of
incalculable benefit to the people of
Victor and Juniper Flat. A flouring
mill will open a market for their wheat.
With water for irrigation that country
will be a veritable garden epot.
. The periodical runaway occurred with
proper regularity this morning. This
time it was the racihc Express compaoy
horse. The driver was delivering pack-
ages near the union street cut, when
the bolt that holds the shafts came out
and let them rail to the ground. The
horse started to run and chose Second
street as his race course. lie was
caught near Pease & Mays' store and a
new bolt made everything as good as
new. If runaways keep up as they have
the last two weeks, an item concerning
them can be set in type and with a little
variation be made to tit all cases. .
The boys have a good one on the good
looking steward of the Dalles City. One
day lately he gallantly volunteered dur
ing the dinner hour to hold a lady's
baby until the nurse came to his relief.
The nurse came in soon, but instead of
taking the baby planked herself down to
dinner, perfectly unconscious of the poor
steward's misery. As he had other
duties to perform he racked his brain to
devise meanB ot getting rid of bis self-
m posed charge and the laugh of his
brother officers. The baby was good
natured, though, and everything he did
to scare it only made it laugh and coo
the louder. Finally, in desperation, he
pinched it! and now this par
ticular steward .don't hold any more
babies' during the meal hour. Van

Monday's Daily.
A car belonging to the United States
Fish Commission passed through The
Ualles this morning, attached to the
Northern Pacific.
James Callahan, formerly employed in
the Holton's House barbershop, Portland,
has taken a position in Julius Fisher's
during the absence of Mr. Long.
Don't forget the social at the Good
Templar's lodge tonight. An attractive
program has been prepared. Every one
who cornea is sure to have an enjoyable
evening.
The Good Templars held a pleasant
social at the Knights of Pythias ball

had been prepared, which was much en
joyed by the large number present.
Saturday night and Sunday morning
was an exciting period in The Dalles.
Doctors and officers were kept busy run
ning to and fro from one place to another
attending to victims from accident 8 of
various sorts. .
' There is a sugar war going on in The
Dalles' and prices are being cut way
down. The profit to the merchant on a
sack of sugar, at the present price is
about the same as the profit on wheat to
the farmer who sold last fall.
" Mri John Led ford, an old settler living
near Waiufc, is lying very ill as the re
sult of a paralytic 9troke. Mr. Ledfordis
an old resident of Wasco county and
for many has been a resident of Wamic.
His neighbors hope that he may survier
the attack. , . ; -
The Northern Pacific trains bave
made good time while running over the
O. R. & N. track, the run to Umatilla
being made in three hours and five min
utes; and while it isn't the fastest
record yet, it is wheeling along at pretty
good speed.
The Dalles markets are supplied with
a great variety of good eatables. Straw

Among the events of Saturday night
was the beating and robbery of a China
man presumably by another individual
of the same nationality, ' No arrests
were made as the Chinamen themselves
wished the matter bnshed up. The un
fortunate celestial was badly used up.

melody, full of rapturous trills and
ecstatic bursts of vocal splendor. The
assembled thousands'drank in eagerly
the melodious utterances, and liberally
applauded the sweet singer, Sacra

The Congregational church held no
services last evening. Several of its re
gular attendants went to the Methodist
church aud listened to a very able ser
mon by Rev. J. H. Wood. The text was
"Come Unto Me and Be Saved All Ye
Ends of the Earth." Mr. Wood is an
earnest, impressive speaker 'and holds
the closest attention of his audience.
The flouring mills are running at full
blast now and have orders ahead which
will keep them busy all the present
season. The mill will probably close
down for a few days before this years
wheat will be received in order, that
some repairs may be made to- the
machinery.' The management looks
forward to another prosperous season. ,
City Treasurer Burget received today
the money from the sale of Dalles City i
bonds. The money reached The Dalles
Saturday. The total amount was $38.
140 83, while the expense of sending the
bonds, telegraphing, etc.', was $101.68,
This leaves a net amount of $38,039.15
for the payment of claims. All city
warrants no matter of what date, .are
now payable at the treasurer's office.

Every moye among the business men
of this city indicates prosperity. Kti
Iargements in stores are continually go
ing on, and merchants are enlarging
their field of operations continually,
Funk Bros, have leased from Max Vogt
the building formerly occupied by M
T. Nolan, and are using it as annex to
their present business. The partition
between the stores is being taken down
and both rooms thrown into one. The
new store will have a frontage of over
fifty feet, and will make an attractive
business house. The progress of The
Dalles is very satisfactory to all who
have a belief in its future.
Sunday morning about 3 o'clock J
Taylor, a man from North Yakima,
walked off the board walk on the Mill
creek trestle and fell a distance of
twenty-five feet. No one was present
at the time, and the injured man was
compelled to drag himself back to the
Columbia, where be was stopping. Dr,
Hollister was hastily sent for, and an
examination told that a leg was broken
just aboye the ankle. How the man es
caped still greater injury is a marvel

boat wharf laet night by engaging in a
fistic encounter. The fight, was sharp
but bitter and it Was unanimously agreed
that honors were even.
The concert next Thursday at the
Baldwin opera house promises to be a
very entertaining evening. The press

tion is needed of our orchestra. -Wis-

This week there has been added to the
musical force the rich and very true
soprano voice of Mrs. Hinsdale. Mrs.
Hinsdale sang two numbers last nignt,

very pretty ballads in response. Ex

Frank Heater and Clarence Murray
were arrested this morning on a com
plaint sworn by W. Hunter charging
them with assault and battery. This is
a relic of the memorable Saturday night
and is one of the occurrences not before
enumerated.' The boys will appear be

ination. '
. Andy Allen and Bill Gil more came np
on the Regulator, bringing the race
horses that The Dalles sent to the meet
ing at Irvington. Jim Crow has been
taken to Montana. Bill Rice, belonging
to C. W. Rice, Miss Hastings to Fred
Fisher, Good Friday, to A. M. Allen,
Bolta to J. P. Mclnerny and D. Schutz,
to Phil Brogan, were brought on the
boat. The Dalles horses wherever they
go always make good records for them
selves. "
Griff Williams and Charley Michel-
bach returned last night from a camping
trip to Trout Lake. , They bave been
gone over a month and have fished and
hunted to their hearts' content. The
number of campers this year at Trout
Lake is unusnally large and the popu
larity of the place has greatly increased
The continued fishing in the lake has its
result in a lessened number of fish, but
there were still plenty to go around.
There . ia now quite a contingency of
Dalles people at Trout Lake.
All members of the Independent
Juvenile Temple are requested to meet
at Fraternity hall, Wednesday afternoon,
at 2 o'clock, for a basket picnic at the
academy grounds. All Harmon Temple
are given an invitation. to meet the In
dependent Temple at that time and have
a good time. Good Templars who can
assist in . this work, are requested to
come. It is intended to spend the after
noon and early evening in having a
Dleasant time. .
R. A. McDonald, who did the shooting
Saturday night, .was arraigned before
Justice Davis, on the charge of shooting
with intent to kill. The prisoner waived
examination and was bound over to the
grapd jury in the euro of $1000. In case
the injuries of the wounded prove fatal
the bonds will be increased. McDonald
made a sort of statement before the
justice, but was not represented by an
attorney. Without wishing to judge
outside of any sworn testimony yet the
case against the defendant looks bad.
In default of the required amount for
bonds McDonald is still confined in the
county j Ail. ;
The contractors at the Cascades Locks
are building a large dredge for cleaning
out the sand at both entrances to the
Locks. The dredge will be in dimension
30x61) feet and will be finished in two
weeks. When done it will first' be
placed at work in the upper portion of
the canal cleaning out the entrance and
when the bulkhead is removed will be
taken to the lower end. The contractors
still stick to their declaration that work
will be done by Christmas and the first
of the year will see steamers go from The
Dalles to Portland. A lare force of
men are at work in day and night shifts
and around the grounds is an air of ac
tivity that ip showing good results.
Plastiirers are at work putting the
finishing tenches ' to tht. new opera
house. The electric lights are being
placed in position and soon the elegant
new structure will be ready for the
public. No one who looked at the ruins'
as they stood a couple of -months ago
would have thought that such a trans
formation could have taken place. The
broken walls bave grown into a substan
tial structure that will give The Dalles
a bandbome opera building. Mr. Vogt
had to bear some additional expense be.
cause of people's carelessness on the day
of the competitive drill. During the
exercises some of the boys thoughtlessly
sat on the stage and hung their feet over
the edge and as the paint was -not yet
dry left their' heel prints on the wood
work, necessitating, repainting. It is
good thing to show our appreciation of
such fine buildings by taking good. care
ol them.
Close the Saloons at Midnight.
To the Editor: Possibly enough has
been said upon the subject of the tend
ency of some of the boys and young men
this community, and we do not sup
pose that The Chronicle can change the
course of those who have aeuDerateiy
chosen recklessness, intemperance,' or
debauching. The law regulating the
granting of saloon licenses by the county
court compels every applicant to give
bond in the sum of $1,000, conditioned
pon bis keeping an orderly house.
closing his saloon on Sunday, refusing
to sell to minors, habitual drunkards or
persons under the influence of liquor,
A similar legulation in respect to city
licenses, it it should be enforced, would
no doubt prevent some of the evils aris
ing out of tKe saloon business.
But another regulation ought to be
added and strictly enforced, and that is
the closing of saloons and bars from
midnight to 6 o'clock a.,m. We see no
good reason' to be urged against such i
regulation, and we believe the proprie
tors of all, except the worst dives, wou'd
pprove of it. But whether it meets
their approval or not, it should be en
forced. Young men would be infinitely
better off if no bairoom were open to
them after 12 o'clock ; no boy should tie
out from heme anywhere at that time
night. We propose, and urge, that
an ordinance be passed that all saloons
be closed promptly at 12 o'clock, and
that the sale of liquor at any place, ex
cept for medicinal purposes, between i2
midsight and 6 a. m. be punished by a
fine. We have very efficient-officers,
who. we believe, will not hesitate to en
force, impartially aud strictly, any reg
ulation the council may adopt. . If any
one can- suggest why such a regulation
is not both reasonable and salutary, we
should be glad to hear Irora them.

Shooting- Sunday Morning;.
A shooting occurred early Sunday
morning which came nearly terminating
fatally and which may yet have a serious
outcome. A carpenter named Mc
Donald and James Hasan were havine
a dispute in Lemke'd saloon and Hagan
charged McDonald with having worked
for$1.50aday. This insinuation McDon
ald quickly resented and a wordy war
ensued between the men which quickly
gathered a crowd of witnesses. ' Hogao
and McDonald. then patched up their
differences. (
Later on they met Louis Ostlund and
asked him if McDonald had ever worked
for him at the price referred to. .Mr.
Ostlund Veplied that he bad not, but
had always received $2.50 or $3 a day.
McDonald who had been getting in an
ugly mood, suddenly whipped out. his
revolver and applying a savage oath to
Hagan began shooting. Oneehot struck

a severe wound in the fleshy part of the
leg. His injury is not severe and Dr.
Sutherland reports him aa resting easily.
When Hagan was taken home be was
thought dangerously wounded and the
oeiief became currant that be was dying,
but the bullet has been found and unless
blood poisoning" sets in' he will in all
probability recover. '
McDonald was arrested soon after the
shooting and placed in the county jail
His revolver was empty, showing he
had shot as long as there were cartridges.
The affair caused a great deal of excite
ment and the vicinity of the affray was
crowded with people who heard the
shooting. Until the exact extent of
Hagan's injuries are ascertained it can
hot be known what charge will be made
against McDonald. .
. Salvation Ann; Anniversary.
One year ago anyone who happened
on Second street iu the early evening
might have seen two youag men dressed
in the uniform of the Salvationists.
This was the beginning of the Salvation
Army work in The Dalles and last Satur
day night the first anniversary was
celebrated. The army marched to Win
gate's hall 'where the exercises were
held.' The large room had been well
decorated 'und a large number of seats
provided for the crowd. 'J he meeting
was au enthusiastic one conducted under
Salvation Army methods, which if not
understood by those on the outside seem
to be effectual in winning many to their
standard. Judged by the old scripture
verte that "By their fruits ye shall know
them." the Salvation Army is to be
praised for their labor throughout the
world.
Sunday's meetings were conducted in
a similar manner except mat in me
evening Major Morton gave a short out
line of the work in general, telling some
striking incidents about the usefulness
of the Salvation Army work in other
places. After the address followed the
swearing in of new recruits, vvnen it
came to the part assigned to the farewell
of Lieut. Ward eoine very complimentary
remarks were made about him and his
work. Lieut. Ward has been in The
Dalles about six months and has made
many friends by his kind and earnest
manner, tie has just been appointed 10
the plxce. of captain and will be p'aced
in charge of the army work at Corvalhe,
Lieut. Ward then delivered a farewell
address which was well received by those
present. Mrs. Capt. Sharp of Seattle
added much to the exercises by her
beautiful singing. Capt. Smith still re
mains ia The D4Ies and a new lieuten
ant will come tn a few days to take the
place made vacant by the departure of
Mr. Ward.
The anniversary meetings continue to
night and it is expected a large audience
will be in attendance.
Hawtnorne Sentenced.
John Hawthorne, who has been on
trial for bis life in the United States
court at Portland, was sentenced Satur
day to five years in the penitentiary and
to pay a fine of $100. He received just
one-half of what might bave been given.
as the law provides ten years as the
maximum for penalty. When Judge
Bellinger asked Hawthorne if be could

tence, the young man made the follow
ing statement:
While Hawthorne and Rowe were
asleep in the tent at Warm Springs,
George Thompson, an Indian, entered
and, grasping two pistols, jumped out of
the tent. The two boys immediately
awoke and Hawthorne fired two shots at
Carpolis believing that he was the thief
who had come into the tent to rob them.
After firing the shots he turned, when.
Carpolis shot bim in the back. Haw
thorne fell and then be says Rowe shot
at Carpolis.
When Judge Bellinger asked Haw
thorne why he had not told this story
during the trial, the prisoner made no
reply. The judge remarked that the new
version of the killing would have no
weight with him as it should have been
brought out in court so the jury could
hear it. The defendant had had a fair,
and impartial trial and all mit'gBting
circumstances had been considered by
the jury and it was owing to some ex-
not been convicted of murder. Affidavits
from several Dalles citizens and from,
Jailer Chamberlain were read. The
jailer testified that .since his incarcera
tion Hawthoape had been a model
prisoner and Detective Misner said that
it was information gathered from Haw
thorne that lead to the arrest, capture
and conviction of Klein and Savage. :
The Dalles affidavits tended to prove the
previous good character of Hawthorne.
The affidavits seemed to have an effect
on Judge Bellinger and probably the
sentence would have been larger bad
they not. been admitted. This marks
the last chapter in the story of the
Mays & Crowe robbery last summer.
Death of Mrs. Bessie Wagonblast.
Last night at 11 o'clock Mrs. Bessie
P. Wagon tilast died at the home of her
mother, Mrs. Sarah Doyle, on 8 Mile.
Mrs. Wagonblast bad been a sufferer
from consumption for about six months,
out no immediate danger of death was -,
thought by ber friends. She had been
up and around the bouse during the day.
and when ber husband left ber at 7
o'clock to go to another farm she seemed
fairh well.' In five hours death bad
taken her.
Mrs. Wagonblast lacked about three
months of being 21, and had been mar
ried three years to Mr. Chas. F. Wagon
blast, whose farm is on 8-Mile. She
leaves, besides her husband, two little
boys. The funeral will, take place to
morrow morning at 10 o'clock from the
Dry Hollow school houee.
Her death is a great blow to her young
husband and members of the family.
Although consumption had long ago
maked her as a victim, yet the shock of
ber death was none the lees cruel. In
disposition she was very sweet and at
tractive, and her memory will remain
dear to her bereaved friends as long as
their lives last.- The Bympathy of the
whole neighborhood goes out to tbe
stricken family in their distress.
Will Destroy Grasshoppers.
Mr. Emil Schanno has received a
remedy for the grasshopper pest, which
is eaid to have been nsed in C-tlitornia
with great efficacy. The grasshoppers
have been something of a nuisance this
season and the farmers will be glad to
hear of any remedy that will serve as a
preventative. Following is tbe prep

journal which will prove of interest to
fruit growers 1
Everyone planting apples should in

Apples on this root are proof aganst
