The board of Stewards of the Metho dist church are requested to meet this evening at 8 o'clock in the office of Wil liam Michell. According to the weather summary the hottest place in the Btate daring May was Arlington, Gilliam county, where the thermometer averaged 58. The debris caused by the big blast of Saturday has been cleared away and the road bed pat in proper condition. Trains are running again without interference. An impromptu bath boose has been arranged on the 'Columbia and swim ' ming has become quite a fad. Every day and evening a large number can be seen enjoying themselves, in the water Prairie chicken shooting is said to be first class and parties who like tramping over the hills come back laden with birds. The variety of fowl' is excellent eating and offers big inducements to banters. ! , . . The mayor is looking out tor the re corder's office during the absence of Mr. Phelps. The fact seems to have struck . terror to the hoboos.for not a one showed up this morning and the ecales of justice were not brought in use. ine communication published in another column regarding a board of trade is timely and to the point. It's suggestions Bhonld be carried into effect. When this' city has a live, energetic board of trade other benefits will come more quickly. Mrs. Tackman, mother of Mrs. C. L. Schmidt, is lying very ill at her dauish ter's (Mrs. Schmidt's) residence. Mrs.' Theodore Prine, another daughter, who is camping at Stevenson, was tele phoned for this evening and will arrive either on the boat or freight train. , Bin ford Douglas, who was arrested at Walla Walla, by request of the authorit ies of Wasco county, was brought to The Dalles this morning and lodged in the county jail. Douglas is charged with horse Btealing and already has had sev eral experiences with the clutches of the law. His preliminary examination has not yet been appointed. Farmers are busy harvesting and the town is quieter than a month ago. Now is the best time to take an outing for those who can, for next fall when the wheat begins to come in every businea man will be busy. Every body should have two weeks in the mountains or at the sea shore. Nature demands it and her laws are inexorable. A number of the speedy boys belong' ing to the fire department met last night for the purpose of choosing a team for the tournament. The boys did not practice last night, but from now on will drill constantly. Great interest was shown by everyone and there will be no trouble in having plenty of mate . rial presented from which a good team can be chosen. The late circus has left a deep impres sion upon the youngsters of town and there is a longing among many of them to become knights of the sawdust. An embroyo aggregation of the world's cel ebrities is now showing in the East-End. 'The performance is under the manage ment of Rex Ward and Frank SylveBter and rivals the big shows in the pleasure it gives the audience. The band stand agitation ia meeting with favor among citizens, and mi crboniclk, is praised for poshing the matter. With such a splendid orchestra the people of The Dalles should have more opportunity of hearing them. The cost of a eommodius stand would not D9 great, and when divided among a large number of contributors would be inappreciable. Let us make up our minds to have one. Ana ircueaira neia its regular practice last evening. The question bad been asked several of the members daring the day whether .or. not they would give open air concerts if a band stand .were erected. The boys unanimously agreed to play at least one evening a week ' free of charge. This generosity on the part of the Orchestra should find a hearty response from people of The Dailes and the building of a grand etand should quickly result. The Dufur telephone line . reached 5-Mile Hill last night and camped at that place. This is making rapid time The worst part of. the work wo building through Thompson's addition and oat to 3-Mile. This part having been done the remaining portion will be comparatively easy. The backers of the enterprise do not say much but they mean business. Another week and The Dalles will be saying "Hello" to Dufur. The gentle men who are bringing outside points in talking communication with The Dalles are showing commendable enterprise and success will attend their efforts. The new fruit dryer, mention of which was made several weeks ago, will surely be built. The iron work has been con traded for and the wood construction will begin immediately. Thelocation is a lot on Tenth street, south of Robert May's stone house. This point will. be accessible for the fro it raisers of Mill Creek, Dry Hollow and other points where the orchards ' are foand. The plant is expected .to be in working order in about ten days. The company will be known as "The Dalles Fruit Evaporat ing Company." J. C. Meins will be the working manager of the concern, while J. G. Koontz will act as secretary. A meetint? of the Jackson Engine Co. was held last night in the city hall to take f urther action regarding tbe pur chase of a racing cart, A motion was carried that $120 be appropriated from oat tbe funds of the treasury as pay ment for the Jackson company's share Everyone was enthusiastic in favor of the motion. Grant Mays, Ed. Mays, Mark Long and Rudolph Frank were elected to membership in tbe company After discussion regarding the coming tournament and the best way of having The Dalles worthily represented, the meeting adjourned. Mr. Winans brought to The Chronicle office today the fctencil of Captain Men- weather Lewis, concerning which men tion has been made in The Chronicle and other papers. The etencil is made out of boiler iron and evidently made to last till the end of time. The relic was in the form of a box, but the cover has been knocked off. Mr Winans found the stencil in the spring of 3893 just ninety years from the time the Lewis and Clarke expedition started on their trip to the wastern wilds. It was found on an island in the rapids above this city and had probably been cast away as a thing of no worth by some Indian who was ignorant of its sentimental value. If ever Mr. Winans parts with this momento of early northwest his tory, it should properly go the national museum in Washington, where every. thing of historical value is preserved for public inspection. Tnursday's Dally Harry Liebe has recovered sufficiently to be on the streets again. Mr. Ketchum shipped three carloads of sheep for Troutdale last night. The weather for Thursday, fair and cooler; for Friday, fair, stationary. Several prairie schooners passed through the city today on their way to Eastern Oregon'. ; v The remains of Mrs. Tackman will be hipped to Bellevue this evening, where they will be interred in a cemetery on the banks of the Mississippi. The committee that has the racing cart in charge says that everything is ar ranged satisfactorily and that tbe cart will arrive about a week from next Monday. . Fred Newton, a boy from the Orphan Home at Salem, was sent here in charge of Judge Blakeley. From . here he will be eent to Antelope, where he expects to find a home. The four mm who were seen hanging on a capsized boat opposite Hood River are supposed to have been some fisher men who left Wyeth last - week to look for seining grounds. This season seems to be particnlarly favorable to figs in Southern Oregon. A tree in General J. W. McCall's lot in Ashland has a fair crop of ripe and green fruit, tbe ripe ones being as perfectly matured as if grown in Sumatra, says the Tidings. The latest bear story is from Wilder- ville. A large black bear came to tbe farm of James Grimes, when the mtn folks were away, and jamped into the pigpen and killed two good-sized fat hogs, weighing about 100 pounds each, one of which the bear carried away. Mr. A. P. Bradbury, a traveling man from Portland, is authority for the state ment Chat in one of the towns up in Idaho during the late hot spell the ther mometer registered as high as 122. in the shade. Yet in suite ot this extremely dot weather there was no report of any one being sun struck. A party of ten or twelve persons from Missouri arrived on the morning train from the east. They are looking for place to locate. In speaking with one of the party this morning our- reporter was informed that if satisfactory arrange ments can be made, a large colony will come "vest and settle in oar vicinity. Mrs. Frederick Tackman, aged 67, of Belleview, Iowa, died yesterday after noon. Mrs. Tackman was the mother of Mrs. C. 8. Schmidt and Mrs. Theo dore Printz, and Dr. Win. Tackman. This was Mrs. Tackrnan's fifth trip across the continent to visit ber children, and while here she was in the best of health until a few days ago, when she was taken with cholera morbus. Everything that -medical skill and kind treatment con Id do was done; but it eeemtd nn availing.! She died very peacefully sur rounded by her children.-: About 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon at the' farm of Joseph Southwell, the 12- year-old eon of Mr. Jsoutbwcll was kicked in the head by a horse, causing an ugly flesh wound. The boy was working around tbe horse, when the animal, without any apparent cause, struck at the young fellow, causing tbe wound. Pendleton Tribune : It was rather a singular coincidence that the Portland San should die on the very day that an advance of three cents per bushel in the price of wheat was noted. . The people do not take kindly to a publication which teaches that the world is going to hades in the face of overwhelming evi dence of a heavenly ascent. A few young men were out' on tbe street last night practicing for the rac ing team which is to be sent to Vancou ver next month to compete in the tour nament to be held in that city. The boys did very well in their first pra& tice, but we expected to see a larger number out.. The team will not be chosen for a week or so, and it is abso lutely necessary that a large number of men should be out training every even ing. Every one ot the tbirty-nve men, who competed in races here on the 4th, should try for a position on the team. It is only by competition between the different men that the team will be chosen. We hope to see every man in the fire department, who has any sprint ing qualities, out training this evening. Mr. Mozart and a companion left Cascade Locks about a week ago for Mt, Adams. Last Sunday morning while one of the men was fixing a pistol it was accidentally discharged and Mr. Mozart was shot in the arm; bis companion, who was holding the horses, left them and ran to the assistance of Mozart. As the horses were left alone they started off on a run, leaving the men seventy miles from the Locks with no means of returning except on foot. Mozart and his companion started on their return home, where they arrived last night. In the meantime blood-poisoning had at tacked the wound and by the time they reached the Locks Mr. Mozart was nearly worn out. He is now resting very easily. Mr. Mozart is a nephew of the Dav Bros. Several Iowa people happened to meet by accident in front of the, postnffiep today. They immediately began talkin about their state, when the conversation turned on Gen. TJ. S. Grant, who at one time was a large buyer of hides in Ga lena. Mr. C. L. Schmidt related an in teresting story, about the campaign of 72. .Grant was in Bellevue, which is across the river from Galena, when Joe Kelso, a well-known banker, slipped up to Grant and said : "Hello, Grant." Grant replied, "Do von know me?' KfIso answered, "Yes, I knew you when you used to buy hides and wore a big, grey overcoat." Grant looked at him for a short while and finally said " You may be right about buying hides', but I never wear a grey overcoat al ways a blue." And the cheering of tbe boys was immense.

Noyes, state or ganizers of the American Protective As sociation, will deliver a ' lecture this evening at the First Baptist churcb. A deed was filed with the county clerk today from William J. Thompson t T. H. Johnston et al. The considera tion is $2,550, and the amount of land is 307.63 acres. A dance will be given tomorrow even ing under the auspices of Messrs. Van- Bibber, Teagne and Hansen. Good music will be provided, and everyone can be promised an excellent time. The river is falling rapidly, and soon will be nearly to its normal bight. The waters of Mill creek are receding, so that the lake is a thing of tbe past, and the land l ises from out the waters. . The funeral services of Mrs. Tackman were held last night at the residence of Mr. C. L. Schmidt. Rev. J. H. Wood officiated. The .remains were shipped east on the midnight train to Mrs. Tack man's old home in Iowa.. Bluford Douglas, charged with horse- Stealing, who was brought from Walla Walla upon requisition from Governor Lord, was arraigned before J at tice Davis last evening. Douglas plead not guilty, and was remanded to the custody of the (Jfeat Baraips!

Divorce proceedings have been insti tuted in Portland by Olive Ethel Sher man against Frederick Hiram Shermar. Both parties are well known in Tbe Dal les. The papers in the case were re ceived from the sheriff at Minneapolis. A large force of men working for the Western Union Telegraph company are distributing poles eastward from The Dalles. The company is progressing rapidly with renewing their lines, and the undertaking 'will soon be finished. When this job is done the telegraph company expects to have less trouble with their poles blowing down in winter. H. F. Jackson, the saloon keeper at Cascade Locks, who was .arraigned be fore Justice Birnie charged with keeping a place of business contrary to tbe stat utes made and provided, has been placed under $250 bonds to await the action of the grand iurv next November. According - to yesterday's Associated Press dispatches, tbe American Bell Telephone Company have sufficient faith in the validity of their Berliner patent, to apply for an injunction against their principal competitor, the National Telephone Company, of Boston We understand that this patent covers all known forms of battery telephones. Cnrtias G. Abbott, a pioneer resident of Wapinilia, was examined tbis morn ing by Dr. Hollister and committed to the insane asylum. He was taken be low on this afternoon's train. Mr. Ab bott is aged 76 years and is well and favorably known throughout the south ern portion of the country. Many friends will sorrow for his old age de throned of reason. A petition was filed in the United States district court asking that permis sion be given Major J. C. Post to con struct a pipe line through land belong ing to the O. R. & N. Co. Judge Bellin ger granted the petition, and made an order allowing the p. R. & N. to grant right of way privileges to Major Post. The pipe line is necessary to tbe com pletion of the locks. From the deck of the steamer Dalles City can be seen the horse Cannery at Linnton. A large corral holds the ani mals, patiently awaiting slaughter. The plant is quite exclusive, and already a rushing business has been done in the horse killing line, it is said, over 600 be ing slaughtered during the present week. A great deal of horse flesh is used for fertilizing pa r poses. The first wheat of the season's growth was received this morning at the Wasco warehouse. ' It was grown by Mr. Henzie about two miles east of town. Tbe wheat is of fins qualify, the berry being very plump. ' Although the season ia many respects is later than a year ago, the first arrival of wheat is earlier. Mr. Henzie will get about 1500 bushels from a 120-acre tract. Twenty sacks were brought in this morning, and there is more at the ranch waiting to be hauled in. , Peter Godfrey, whose place is on 5 Mile, will have a larger wheat crop on his place than ever before. A large por tion will yield over twenty bushels to the acre,, and the remainder will be more than a fair averege. Mr. Godfrey is an intelligent farmer, and has taken great pains in putting in his crop. Some fields in tbe neighborhood have not done so well, but as a general thing the yield will be much better than an were 50 cents will hereafter self 40 " 35 u It it tt were' 30 cents will hereafter sell " 25 " ."

There is some talk, in musical circles, of reorganizing the old Mozart club, which several years ago was such a pop ular institution in Tbe Dalles. There are a good number of fine voices in the city, and much enthusiasm could easily be created among singers'. In all prob ability this winter will see such an or ganization. With the vocal talent that could be obtained and the orchestra, a concert could be given that could not be equaled, we are safe in saying, any where in the state outside of Portland. The committee having in charge the purchase of the racing cart, wired the Benn Rubber company to ship it at once. The firemen expect its arrival by August 19th, which will give the boys ample opportunity for practice before the meeting of the tournament. Tbe Dalles is sometimes a little slow in start ing, but when once started it doesn't stop till everything desired has been ac complished. . The boys have shown commendable enterprise to make prep arations to give our city a worthy repre sentation at Vancouver. -Mr. M. A. Moody will leave tonight for Chicago, where be will attend the meeting of the Republican National League, which will be held at the Great Northern hotel, Aug. 14. The business before the meeting will be the formula tion of a general plan of extending the work of the league with special reference to a plan of organization and education for 1896. The location of national head- quaiters will also be settled. The meet ing promises to be attended by all the committemen from . the different states. Mr. Moody, will be absent ten days or two weeks. The only efforts at salmon fishing along tbe middle. Columbia that are meeting with any considerable sacceu are those of Mr. Elliot, who is seine fishing at Hood River bar. Yesterday the Regulator carried twelve boxes shipped to Portland from Hood River, and upon every steamer there is a con signment. Next year operations will be conducted on a larner scale. Seine fishing has been conducted with great success on tbe lower river, and eeems to be in the lead up here.

The experienca this year of Martin, Martisson is a sample of what thrift and energy can do, and also illustrates tbe wide spreading trade with other place which The Dalles enjoys. Mr. Morfcia son has a patch of ground about 100 feet square, which he planted in cucumbers. He has already this season sold $160 worth to the Montana market, for which a check was received this morn ing, and bus disposed so tar of $40 or $50 worth to the local market. The Dalles presents abundant opportunities ia many lines of busineis for people who are desirous of succeeding, to find a competence. Two serious accidents happpened this afternoon shortly after dinner. The little child of F. A. Phelps, aged 3 years, got hold of a revolver and accidently shot himself through the forefinger of bis left hand inflicting a painful wound. Dr. Hollister, who was called, thinks the finger can be saved. A few minutes later another call came, saying Mildred, tbe 3-year-old child of Bert Hawthorne, had been seriously burned. She bad been playing with matches, when ber dress caught fire, severely burning her side. Tbe little sufferer was made as comfortable as possible. It is yet too soon for the doctor to tell how serious? the burning is. The Columbia Hose company held a spirited meeting last night. The at tendance of members was large and great interest was shown at every point of discussion. In Bomo places the de bate grew quite warm. In the absence of President Henry Mater, who was prevented from being present, ths vice president, Fred. Bailey occupied the chair. A motion was passed author izing tbe treasurer to pay $120 as ths Columbia company's share in the new racing cart. . G. A. Clarke Was elected -to membership in the company. The action of the meeting in voting the money for the cart makes its purchase sure. tiuUu to tlie .Public. This is to warn all persons not to credit my wife, Daisy B.
