The music will be furnished by the Orchestra Union, so those who go will be sure of a pleasant time. i The Regulator carried thirty large sacks of wool on her down-trip this morning. Very little sacked wool has gone from The Dalles this season, as most of it has been put up in bales at the warehouse and shipped in that more convenient form. The balers have done more work than in any previous season. The house of George Watkins, on the bluff, was sold today at sheriffs sale. The property has been advertised for some time, and several buyers were present, anxious to make the purchase. The bidding was quite spirited, and the price was run up from the starting point, $1320, to $1600, which figure Geo. Brown offered on behalf of J. L. Kelly. The location is one of the most sightly m the city. Bluford Douglas, who was brought back from Walla Walla, to answer the charge of taking another man's horse, was arraigned before Justice Davis this morning. Owing to the absence of im portant witnesses, the trial was post poned till Monday. Some of the wit nesses have to be subpoenaed from Sher man county. Douglas has retained Dofur A Menefee as his attorneys.' Constable E. S. Olinger came up. from Hood River last evening and took back with him this morning Dr. Julius Roth erniel, who is in the uncomfortable posi tion of being charged with forgery. The examination will probably be held in Hood River today, and some very in teresting developements may be dis closed. Only one side of what seems a very peculiar case has been heard, and ' comment is reserved till the testimony of both sides is in. A fair-sized audience greeted Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Noyes last evening at the First Baptist church to hear a lecture on the workings and aim of the American Protective Association. Mr. Noyes gave a short history of the organization and its life in other places, and told of the purposes for which the society' was founded. Mr. and Mrs. Noyes are state organizers for Oregon, and are traveling through the country.in the interests of the A. P. A.- They lett for Portland on the Regulator this morning. Everybody should appreciate the good things they have, and be thankful they have them. The Dalles has an or chestra any city might envy, and there is an oppertunity of bearing its sweet rnaaic. Open nir concerts will be a source of great pleasure to those poor mortals who cannot go to the coast and mountains, but must find their enjoy ment in things close at hand. If every one will contribute their mite towards building the band, stand, the necessary money will easily be raised, and the peo ple of onr charming city be given a great deal of pleasure. The Elks in The Dalles and Cascades have suffered a severe loss in the death of George H. Clacking, who was burned in the terrible holocaust at Pendleton Wednesday night last. He was a young man of sterling merit, with a buoyant disposition and boundless ambition, and bad not death called him, would have made his mark in the world. The Elks will bold a meeting at Cascade Locks one week from Monday evening, at which memorial services will be beld. Mr. D, .Sol is Cohen of Portland, who is high in the order, will be present and exemplify some new work in the order. Ae large attendance as possible is wished from among The Dalles members. A funny thing happened last night at the Columbia hotel. The little child of Mr. and Mrs. Tooney was noticed to be missing, and an alarm. was spread that it had been lost. The family, aided by other searchers, looked in every place, but the right one, and .'finally concluded that something terrible i bad happened to the youngster. Policeman Connelly was sent for, and, hurrying to the hotel, bad the state of affairs explained to him and started out through town in search of the missing child. Finally, when all attempts had failed, someone looked under the bed and found- the child fast asleep, unconscious of all the worriment it had caused. The bulkhead at the locks is nearly demolished, and a couple of week's work will see it.entirely removed. The water at the upper end of the canal is nearly low enough eo that the big dredge can begin its work. ; The' bottom of the canal is being cleaned of rocks and is looking smooth and clean. Opinions differ among those who are connected with the work as to the time when the great undertaking will be finished. There are some who stoutly maintain that boats will go through by Christmas, while others think it will be in March or April before the wheel of the Regula tor turns on the lower Columbia waters. Time will tell, and in the meantime we can rest confident that every endeavor is being made to rush the work through to an early completion. Monday's Daily. These kind of days are all a summer resort couid ask. . ' 4The weather prophecy for Tuesday says fair and cooler. Yesterday was the quietest day The Dalles has seen for a long time.

All members of the Independent Workers lodge are requested to be pres ent this evening at the regular meeting of the lodge, institution and other im portant business is to be brought up. Malcom Moody's dog was run over by the local train today on Front street and was cat in two. If the absent ownerknew it the unalloyed pleasure of his Eastern trip would be somewhat spoiled. The dog was a valuable animal. The Regulator did considerable towing Saturday. In the evening she towed a fish wheel and ecow from below the point a mile or so down the river to the city. There will be no further need of fish wheels for another month. A telegram received this morning by Mr. George W Rowland from Phoenix, Arizona, announced the arrival of an 8 pound daughter in the family of Mr. and Mrs. L. D. Anisworth. The mother and child are reported doing well. In the building next the recorder's office a ehower-tath is being fixed for the use ot the boys who are training for the hoee tournament.. After the run every evening the boys will take a shower-bath and a hearty rub down. which will help to good physical condi tion. The passenger train yesterday was seven hours late, not arriving in The Dalles till after 10 o'clock. The cause was a train wreck near Huntington, which delayed the train a good many more hours than it was late here, as much time had been made up by faster running. . .

Mrs. Coatswortb made many friends by her amiable disposition and her death will tome with a shock. The examination of Dr. Rotherniel, charged with forgery, was held Satur day morning before Justice S-esbe at Hood River.

The funeral will take place tomorrow at 2 p. m., from the residence of his grandmother, Mrs. Bolton. The fish eeason closed Saturday night at 12 o'clock. The catch this season has been extremely unsatisfactory, and there is a general complaining, in which all fishermen and cannery men join. The fish bave been numerous on the lower river, but from some reason or other, they have failed to ascend this far up the river. One of the reasons assigned is that there is an unusual amount of alkali in the river, washings from the deposits along the shore, which were left by the high water of last season. It is the first season the fishermen have tailed so badly, and they are not nsed to the unsatisfactory contrast between this and other years. There are hopes that when fishing begins in the fall the sal mon will be more courteous, and show themselves oftener. Tuesday's Daily. Eight cars of stock fram Heppner passed through The Dalles this morning bound for Troutdale. . Wednesday and Thursday will be fair and warmer, according to the weather prophecy received from Portland today.

The services were attended by a large num ber of sympathizing friends of the be reaved father and mother. The exodus from the city to the sea shore and mountains will soon cease ,and then the tide of travel will tnrn the other way and each train and boat bring back sunburnt citizens, who have been digging clams by the sounding sea, or resting in the shade of the tall firs.

Several " people from The Dalles, who want horns put upon them, are candidates for initiatory exer cises: " All the members of the lodge who reside in this city will go along as escorts of honor. It is not yet known how the trip will be made. If a suffi cient number goes, and the boors can be arranged, the Regulator will proba bly be chartered. Otherwise the party will go by train. Another runaway came nearly being recorded this morning. The team of George B. Teal was standing quietly in fiont of The Chronicle office, when one of the horses remembered that it had been several davs since The Dalles bad seen a runaway and started to jump, kick and perform all sorts of queer an tics. It broke the traces, and in spite of the efforts of a plucky boy, who held the lines, would have broke awav had not the owner rushed out and stopped the animal and also a longer item. Manager J. W.

Interview With Mr. Lord. Mr. W. Lord of The Dalles, while in Portland Sunday was interviewed by an Oregoniaii reporter and made some in' teresting statements regarding the grow ing greatness of The Dalles as a wool center. Mr. Lord is manager of the Wasco warehouse' and well qualified to speak on the subject. During the coarse of the interview Mr. Lord said : The Dalles is getting to be the largest wool market in the country. An im mense territory, increasing in area each season, is tributary to it. Our company alone has handled, this season, over 3,700,000 pounds of wool from actual growers. In all not less than 5,000,000 pounds nave been handled at The Dalles this season. We tapped the Bickleton country away out beyond Goldendale. Condon and Arlington have also shipped their product to The Dalles. Next vear they will hitch up a lot of teams and bring the Heppner product to the same market. Wool has brought, at The Dalles this year, 2 cents a pound more than at any other market in Eastern Oregon and Washington. This was due to the fact that the heaviest buvers make their headquarters at that point. and also because of the cheaper trans portation. The freight on wool per 100 pounds from Heppner to Boston, where all the wool is shipped, is $1.80, while from The Dalles it is only $0.90 310 The steamers do it. You see, the Southern Pacific has an arrangement with theUolumhia river steamers, which brings the rate from The Dalles down to the figure stated. The boat company bave decided to build A large dock and warehouse on the river front. At the last meeting of the' board of directors the scheme was agreed upon. Plans have been drawn for a building 250 long aud 60 feet wide. The structure, which will be as large in floor surface as the largest building in town, will be erected on the open ground back of the present company's offices and will reach past the Cosmopolitan Hotel. The piles bave been ordered from Cas cade Locke and will arrive some time this week, when active operations will be begun. Mr. Hugh Glenn baa been appointed to take charge of the work. It is the intention of the management of the boat line that other steamers, which will reach The Dalles when the locks are through, can find a landing place at the D. P. & A. N. Co.'s dock and storage room in the new warehouse, which will be convenient for the discharge of freight to and from steamers. This move is made absolutely necessary by the1 in crease f bnsiness carried by the Regu lator and Dalles Citv and the still fur ther increase looked for when the locks shall be through. The examination of Bluford Douglas was concluded yesterday afternoon be fore Justice Davis. The defendant was held to await the action of the grand jury in bonus to the sum ot $JUU. lhe case occupied most of the afternoon, and was closely contested. Frank Watkins, George Molloy and Art Barnham were the witnesses for the prosecution. Wat' kins was the-one from whom, according to the evidence, the horse was obtained, and Molloy the man to whom it was sold. Barnham testified as to giving the defendant a - saddle, which, it was claimed. Douglas sold to Molloy. The defendant moved to dismiss the change on account (of insufficiency of evidence; but the motion was overruled. The question was then argued as to whether the justice had jurisdiction to pronounce sentence, as it waS a case of larceny by bailee. : The court decided it did not and that the justice acted only in the capacity of committing' magistrate. Douglas was taken to the county jail, and up to this time had not furnished bonds. , : When Baby was sick, we gare her Castarta.

Osborne Buckeye Mowers Extras. IVXiHTS CROWE, Second and Federal Sts., THE DALLES, OR. How Our Fruit Is SeDtn. The latest, advices from the. eastern fruit market bave been received by The Cheo.niclr, and are published below Fruit men have had .'a prosperous season this vear, and the net returns have been larger than for several seasons past. There was sold in Minneapolis on Aug. 6th, U. P. Wicke's car, 31024, from The Dalles, peach plums, average price 75 cents ; boxes 65 cents. Cleveland U. P. Wicke's, No. S2057, from The Dalles, selling today from 50 to 65' cents This is the only car that has arrived in poor condition, but most of the fruit was over-ripe, the good quality bringing fair prices." Balance of our 34985- to Denver sold on the 8th at 70 to 75-cts, C. F. T. car No. 13824, from Eugene. shipped by S"gar & Humphrey, sold in Chicago Aug, 7th for 85 cts per box. This fruit was in excellent condition and should bave sold for much more. Bartlett pears still remain very steady though. Michigan and Southern Ohio re port a Igood crop, prices generally ml ing $1.50 to $1.85. California Bradshaw plums, German prunes, selling in St Paul, Minneapolis, St. Louis, Philadel phia and New York for 90 cts to $1.25 Eg plums, 8Q eta to $1 ; Chicago mar ket about 10 per cent lower. Our Ore gon plums will bring better prices than peach plums, as they are better fruit for re-shipping. Italian prunes green There is -a splendid outlet . for these prunes, shipping green. There is no more possible loss by reason of poor ar. rivals than with apples, coming so late after all plum shipments are over from California and elsewhere, besides being a new fruit. The demand is far in ex cess of the supply ; even; should we ship fifty cars per day. While this year is so much better than last in prices, yet our shipments last year of this fruit were very successful, netting as high as 2)4 cts per ,1b. In all cases, the fruit arrived, in good condition, and prices this "year at pres ent on inferior California plume are much higher than these prices. The tendency is to bold " for F. O. B. sales. We advise all growers who will have dried fruit, to make no definite arrange ments to consign or sell under ? cts, F. O. B., nntil the meeting ot the repre sentative dried fruit men of the differ ent unions and localities, which will be beld in the near future-, when prices and uniform packing will be discussed and fixed so that the growers will not be ignorant of the real facts connected with the sale of their product. Special Meeting of the Council. The city council met in special session last evening at the office of the recorder; Mayor Menefee and Councilman Nolan, Eshelman, Johns, Crowe, Wood, Salt marsbe and Ross were present and took part in the deliberations. The object of the meeting was to con aider the improvement of sidewalks throughout the city and find means of compelling property owners to put in repair walks that are out of order. The marshal read a list of sidewalks and crosswalks which need repairing, after which the best way of getting them fixed was discussed by the members. On motion of Mr. Nolan, seconded by Mr Eshelman, the side and crosswalks upon certain streets in town yeero declared dangerous, and it was ordered that new walks be constructed according to the city ordinances. The recorder was in structed to publish the notice of im provement ae required by the charter, The cost of improvement will be as sessed directly against the property benefitted. : As the sidewalk question was the only one before the council, when it was settled, the meeting ad journed. . Accident This Morning. A sad accident happened today, which has maimed a strong young man for life. This morning about 8:30, Martin Eng man had both bis Lands crushed in a bay baler. He' was working for Mr. Henricbson on A. W. Whetstone's place and was just putting a board in to cover the hay, when be miscalculated and reached too far. The heavy press came down on his hands, crushing them terribly. . The injured man was placed in a wagon and rapidly brought to' town. Drs. Iean. Doane and Sutherland beld a consultation and saw that amputation Strength, Durability, Honest Construction. : The Heaviest and Beet Ironed Wagon on earth. First Premium award ed at the World's Fair.' FULL LINE OF- of the entire left hand was necessary and one finger from the right hand. The young man had rare grit, and laid down upon the operating table as if go ing to sleep instead of parting with one of life's dearest treasures. The opera tion lasted about three-quarters of an hour. Mr. Engman came to this country from St. Paul and had lived in Portland about a year before coining to Eastern Oregon. Ho is unmarried. A short time ago he was the possessor of an ac cident policy, but unfortunately had al lowed it to lapse. Last night be bad av dream that something serious was to happen and two or three times was on the point of telling Mr. Henrichson he did not want to work today? He ' strong, healthy farmer, and to 1 x-k at him in his sad condition would melt strong heart to sympathy. Quite a scene was enacted yesterday by a woman with disheveled hair and terror stamped upon her face, rushing out of a house on Court street, scream ing at the top of her voice, and making all the actions of ja person being chased to death. Constable Urqnhart quickly eame and took her to the city jail. To a. group of city officials and a Chboniclb reporter she told a wild disconnected' story about lieing purened by people de sirous of taking her life. She said her name was Mrs. Ragsdale, and that she was a short time ago separated from her husband. Sbe was under great nervous ' excitement, and for the time at least was bereft af all reason. Dr. Hollis'er, who was called,' pronounced it a case of over-indulgence in alcohol. The woman bad evidently seen better days, and) had been fitted for a better life than the one to which site had sunk. After some medicine from the doctor, she was taken to the city jail, where the made an interesting night for the jailer and .prisoners.. This morning, as she felt better, her freedom was given her. Dr. Doane is the possessor of a sjrao book which contains many things of interest connected with the past history of The Dalles and surrounding places. Among them is a description of a trip to . . Mt. Hood, in which Dr. Doane, E. B. McFarland, J. W. Blakeney, and sev eral other parties, at that time residents of The Dalles, participated. They were the first people from The Dalles who ever . ascended the grim old sentinel,'. and the description of the trip, written -hy the doctor, is very entertaining. From the summit they could see the farms in the Klickitat valley and the fertile fields of Wasco. The day waa' semewhat smoky, but the country east to Walla Walla was visible. The Dalles could be seen, and a spire, supposedly that of the Catholic church, con Id be . discerned. The trip was taken In 1872. The following year E. B. McFarland, O. D. Doane and Theodore W. Pyle, now a resident of Cincinnati, Ohio, went on a. visit to the ice caves near Mt. Adams, aud climbed that noted peak. The ex-' periences described were very amusing ' Mrs. Julia Obarr, proprietress of the Farmers Hotel, has commenced suit against Dalles City for $1154. Papers were served upon the recorder today. The complaint, after setting forth alle gations of the city's incorporation, and ' the like, goes on to say that during the late smallpox quarantine the city au thorities appropriated her hotel, and all that it contained. The articles which were destroyed on this account were one white blanket, one quilt, eight towels, forty-five chickens, fifty feet of gxrden hose, one ladder, five lard buck- . ets, one watch chain , groceries and cord- wood, all to the value of $76. Besides . this, she was out rent - and electric - lights. The whole bill thus itemised comes to $154. Mrs. Obarr claims that in addition her business was damaged in , the extent of $1000, for which sum she ; prays judgment against the city. J. C. Moreland of Portland is ber attorney.' Dr. J. H.
