WEAIBER BUREAU.
vmi,.. CroD Bulletin So 17 of the
Oresos State Weather Herrice for
Eastern Oregon.
Weather On Sunday,, Monday and
Tuesday, the temperature ranged about
the normal, while on the remaining
days the temperature was cooler.
fresh southerly wind prevailed,' and the
weather remained clear. The weather
compared favorably with that of the
previous week, when dry, warm winds
were discouracius. There was an ab
sence of precipitation.
Crops Weather conditions have been
favorable to all crops in Wasco and Sher
man counties, while in other sections the
weather remaining dry (though not so
dry as the previous week), could not be
said to be favorable, though it was an
improvement.
Reports from Wasco and Sherman
counties continue favorable regard ing all
crops ; wheat, oats, barley and potatoes
are doing especially well. Owing to the
low prices for last year's crop, the acre
age of the present grain crop was mater
ially reduced. The quality of grain in
Wasco and Sherman counties will bo A
1. and the yield per acre wiil approach
near to the average.
Harvest has commenced in earnest
throughout the Columbia valley. Hay
ing bas commenced in umatiiia ana
Morrow counties and in the Walla Walla
valley. South and eaet of the Blue
mountains and including the counties of
Umatilla and Morrow, the yield of all
kinds of grain will fall far short of the
average, and the quality will be inferior,
This section has suffered greatly from
the drouth. In some sections of the
above-described territory the spring sown
grain will scarcely pay the cost of bar
vesting it, and a field of grain which
promises anything near an average yield
is rare, Tnere are some goon news oi
barley in Union courty. Thereis a good
prospect for fruit in all sections, and the
potato crop has withstood the dry
weather surprisingly well. Fruit is
making a rapid growth, and the early
varieties of apples are ripe. Blackber
ries are ripe and plentiful in the aiarket
Hood River peaches are also ripe. In
Klamath and Harney counties the fruit
will be of good . quality, though -not
plentiful, owing to the work of the early
frosts. Haying continues, and alfalfa is
still being cut. The drouth bas mater
ially lessened the yield of hay, and but
for "the fact that the season of 1834 pro
duced more than was required for con
sumption, consequently leaving much of
last year's crop on hand, farmers would
be at a loss for feed for their stock.
which, unfortunately, is the case in
manv sections.
McClwre'a for August.
The first of Anthony Hope's new
series of Zenda stories, in Mcuinres
Magazine for Angust, reciting a heroic
love passage between the beautiful Prin
cess Osra and brave Stephen the Smith,
is most charming. "The girl was young
and the dream was sweet," and the story
is in full accord with these attractive
conditions. The new Jungle story by
Kipling is also notable. Only one or two
of the previous Jungle stories approach
it in strength and ingenuity. It tells
how Mowgli, under the shrewd direction
of Kaa, the rock python, lured the Red
Dogs of the Dekkan, whom the Jungle
feared above all other creatures, to a de
struction so complete that not one was
left to tell the tale. In the same num
ber are a story by Stanely J. Weyman,
wherein ' good, hearity justice finally
overtakes an opnresiye tax-gatherer;
and a California story by Bret Harte.
Miss Tarbell supplies very interesting
account of Bisbop John H. Vincent and
his work in founding and developing the
Cbautaqua Assembly, and also of the
wonderful growth and usefulness of that
institution. Numerous portraits and
other pictures accompany the paper.
The life of the circus preformer, as it
shows itself behind the scenes, is the
subject of an illustrated article by Cleve
land Moffett. Moltke's manner of carry
ing on war is described by the English
war correspondent, Archibald Forbes,
from the writer's own observation of
Moltke through the Franco-Prussian
war, and from conversations which he
himself held with Moltke on the subject.
In illustration of the article there are
historic battle scenes and some interest
ing portraits. The romantic story of the
robbing of the Northampton (Mass.)
Bank of upwards of a million dollars in
money and securities, and of the long
pursuit and ultimate conviction of the
robbers,' is related from the records of
the Pinkerton detective bureau.

Theater Burned. -Bonn,
July 24. The Reichsrallen the

escaped, only one person being bur.ned.
"Uncle Tom" in a Tent.
The people of The Dalles had an op
portunity last night. of witnessing what
was, without a doubt, the most amazing
performance of "Uncle Tom's Cabin"
ever given in this fair city. The stupen
dous aggregation, duly heralded and ad
vertised, arrived yesterday morning and
proceeded to unravel their thirty , acres
of canvas, more or less, and provide
quarters for the ferocious animals of
Siberian nationality. The report had
gone the rounds that spectators ia other
places had pronounced the show exceed
ingly "crummy" if such an expression
conld be used but who ever started
such a rumor erred on the side of mild
ness. Albeit the regulation number of
people walked to the ticket office and
deposited their entrance money with a
look on their faces of mingled anticipa
tion and regret.
The interior of the tent bad something
the appearance and effect of a circus, but
the soft colors of the decorations and the
dim religions light which the nickering
gas jets afforded, coupled with the
solemn faces of people who were just be'
ginning to realize for what their money
bad been spent, gave to the combination
the look of an-unsuccessful campmeeting.
The painting of the scenery belonged to
a period before the renaissance and the
scene upon the drop curtain was an
enigma to the audience. Some thought
it a picture of the Cascade Locks, with a
sailing vessel in the background, while
to others it seemed the "Gates Ajar,"
or the entrance into the Columbia river,
But the scenery was a paragon of can it
compared to the acting. A reporter of
Tub Chboniclb, in company with scv'
eral friends, attended the performance
and secured a resting place on a small
portion of a plank lust outside the re
served seats. But itjuma not for long, as
the peanut hoy and program peddler
came that way and wished that place as
a rest for his feet while he auctioned off
bis wares to a patient people.
The first act opened with a dining'
room scene in which 'Eliza crossed the
river on the ice. Several dogs of reputed
ferocity, each one having a man attached
to its collar, walked across the stage in
pursuit of Eliza, who, had she known
the character of her pursuers, would
have felt perfectly secure.
Then came an intensely exciting scene
in which Lawyer Marks showed a won
derful capacity for storing away liquors
and drank a bottle empty without
breathing. The audience was tumult
uous in their applause at this gigantic
feat and many men were heard to re
mark that thev wished thev had Marks'
tank. This capacity was really astound
ing. After Marks was through drinking
he began an explanation of who he was
and how he came to be there. Then it
was time to drink again, which pleased
the audience immeneely, because Marks
with his mouth full of the email end of
a bottle was a much better actor than
when free to talk. There are some other
characters in the play, but as so many
of his acquaintances had left, Ths
Chboniclb reporter was getting lonely
and so he too arose and like the Arab,
silently stole awav. The remainder of
the show might have been good, and if it
was, we apologize to the management
for these few remarks; but it would take
a Joseph Jefferson, or Edwin Booth or
the leading man of the Home Dramatic
club during the rest of the evening to
redeem the show from what it was the
first act and a half.
We are glad to praise when we can.
so it may truthfully be said the music
was good. The band on the street
played well, and had there been nothing
but the band the audience would have
been better pleased.

Pocatello, Idaho, July 25. Reports
from Market Lake say that the Rexburg
paper of today reports that nine white
people were killed by the Bannocks near

confirm the report, and it is not believed.

Forty-four cars of United States cav

The troops will be immediately piloted

feared that the Indians will take advant
age of the few numbers of settlers and
commit wholesale murders before the
soldiers can interfere.
Four hundred Lemhi Indians are re

''Ayer's' Sarsaparilla enjoys the extra
ordinary distinction of having been the
only blood purifier allowed an exhibit

facturers of other sarsaparilla sought by
every means to obtain a showing of their
goods, but they were all turned away
under the application of the rule fore
bidding the entry of patent medicines
and nostrums. The decision of the
World's fair authorises in favor of
Ayer's Sarsaparilla was in effect as fol
lows: "Ayer's sarsaparilla is not a
patent medicine. It does not belong to
the list of nostrums. - It is here on its

from the day of the event, went daily to
the place of the tragedy, gave a glance
of horror at the ground, and then would
go his way sadly and tboughfully. His
attraction for the spot finally diverted
suspicion to him and caused his arrest.
