on the train. It goes east over the
Great Northern. '
This is the last week of vacation and
next Monday another year of study be-
- gins. The scholars generally win look
. forward to the opening day with pleas-
, . ore, for, alter all, too much vacation gets
a little tiresome, and they long for the
pleasant companionship and asoocia
tions of school life. '
, The pile driver has finished tbe first
row of piling for the steamer warehouse
- and is now well started on the second
row. The work will go forward more
rapidly now, as the hardest part has
. been gone over. Some idea of the mag
nitude of the building can be obtained
from the number of piling and the
length of the rows. '
Mr. E. B. Dufur, that prince of gentle
men, returned yen terday from fishing on
15-Mile. He brought in the results of
superior fishing skill, and. out of the
'generosity of his heart, remembered the
editor of The Chronicle with a fine
mess. We hope he may continue to go
fishing and -dispose of a portion of his
. catch in the same way.

Between the Salvation Army, tbe hose
team and the cow-boy evangelist, Second
f street was alive last- night. The
sidewalks were crowded with people I
walking up 'and down, till tbe scene
looked like a promenade concert. Tbe
i u w .uiuUoi,
listened to the exhortations of the Salva-
tionists and evangelists with, the same
zeal as they watched ' the bose contests.
. The hose companies and those who at
tend the Vancouver tournament, have
- made arrangements for going on the
' , Regulator. The boat company - have
made an extremely low rate. Only $2
will be charged for a round trip ticket
to Vancouver. The nose, team and cart
will be transported free. Whenever it
is a question of helping Tbe Dalles, the
boat company can be counted on to do
its share and more.
- A eherins sale was held this morning
on the courthouse steps. Sheriff Driver
sold to Charles Stubliug, the old Bonzey
Droperty on Front street, which for sev
eral years has been vacant. The price
paid was $475. The sale was by virtue
of a foreclosure decree granted in . tbe
case of Sroupe and McCrum vs R. G.
Clostr, administrator of the estate of
A. K. . Bon zey, disceaaed. The judg
ment was for $495.75; interest,$61.80;
v attorney fees, $50 ; costs, $27.10.
.. Rev. . J. R. Rice, "the cowboy
preacher," and his wife, attracted con
siderable attention on tbe street last
night with their religions exercises. The
gentleman is a good singer and the gro
tecqueness of his garb and bis long hair
probably aid him in securing an audi
ence quickly. Mrs. Rice is a clever
talker and held the close attention of a
J large crowd of hearers last, eventing.
She speaks fluently and arrays her argu
ments and statistics in an impressive
.manner. -
So many patrons of our public schools
bave expressed a desire to see the build-'-'
ings in . their renovated condition, that
:'.'. the directors have made arrangements
- .for the opening of the buildings tomor
row morning from 9 to 12 and In the'
afternoon from 1 to.4. Suitable persons
will be at the academy park building
and at the Court and Union street build-
ings to show visitors the improvements
made. .Everybody should take an in-1
terest in our schools and view the ex
cellent work which has been done under
the supervision of , the present board of
directors."- ' J '
In a town not many miles from The

"I like Shakespeare very much, but

young man sat during the remainder of
the eveninz in profound meditation
upon the modern education 'of the mod
ern woman.

minute. '"
The elements were on a jangle last
night, and a eprinkle of rain and heavy
wind resulted. - It looked for a while as
if we were to be treated to a regulation
Willamette valley rain storm
Miss Nettie Anderson of The Dalles,
who is visiting at A. S. Powers', at Mc
Kinzie Bridge, killed a fine five-point
buck on one of the trails the other night

The little boy ot Mr. and Mrs. Oakes,
who live at Mitchell, died last Saturday,
after being sick but a few hoars. He
was aged one year. Mrs. Oakes was
Miss Jessie Wallace before ber mar-
riage, and her friends here will deeply
sympathize in tbe present affliction.
Monday mgnt senter ayton opens a
wekV of. k nlH,in
opera house. The people of The Dalles
have bad an opportunity of witnessing
this noted actor, and . will be glad of an
other chance to laugh at his witticisms.
Seats can be secured at tbe usual place.
County Assessor W. H. Wakefield is
no-v at work making up the city assess
ment. He has completed all the work
in the county, except a small portion
near Celilo. ' Mr. Wakefield is working
diligently and making every endeavor
to obtain a complete and fair assessment
roll.
A telegram has just been received by
Mrs. C. W. Dietzel announcing the
death of her grandmother, Mrs. Breese,
at Carlyle, Illinois. Her death occurred
yesterday. Mrs. Breese was the widow
of the late Sidney L. Breese, at one time
chief justice of the Illinois supreme
court. She was aged 89 years.
The Regulator had a heavy load of
freight last night and a good list of pas
sengers. The usual dull season in mid
summer did not come this year to tbe
boat company, and the two steamers
have done a satisfactory business from
the start. Shipments of freight will be
even heavier from now on, as the mer
chants are receiving their fall supplies.
The stock yards are fall of she"p to
day. Aleck Fargher is making one of
the largest shipments to Chicago that
has gone from The Dalles in many a
day. Over 7000 will go in two trains.
Eight hundred of the number are lambs.
These will be- placed in three deck cars.
The scene around a stockyard' is very ex
citing when stock is being loaded, and a
large number of spectators are watching
the proceedings. . u - . ;
City Marshal Blakeney arrested a mab
in a drunken condition last night, and
in searching his clothes found $995 in
greenbacks and a few dollars in silver,
The man; who is well known in town,
came in from the country and drew from
the bank $1150. The difference can
easily be accounted for by his condition
He can thank bis stars be fell into bon
est bands, for be stood a splendid chance
of meeting some light-fingered ind
viduah who would ease him ot any
trouble in seeking a good investment for
his money. '
Rev. , J.' R. Rice, "the cow-boy
preacher," and his wife, Who haye been
in The Dalles for the last few days
preaching on tbe streets, left last night
for Pendleton, where they will engage in
tbe same work. Mrs. Rice is a remark
able woman and elicits unusual atten
tion from people of all classes of intelli
trence. The evancelists found The
Dalles a hard field to work upon, though
there is an abundance of material that
could be radically improved without
harm to anyone. We are afraid Pendle'
ton will be found equally callous.
Last night about 9 o'clock the sky
over the mountain back of Chenoweth
creek was of a land hue, and many
thought it a strange phenomena, but in
vestieation this morning disclosed tbe
fact that the people of Mosier wee en
joying a bon fire. Some slashing bad
been. done in the Limber and a favorable
opportunity was being awaited to burn
the brash. The effect of the red sky in
one place, with the greater part of the
heavens inky black, was quite unusual
and in days of superstition would have
been taken as some ominous potent.
Mr. T. A. Hudson has returned from
Sherman county, where be traveled over
a large portion of the wheat-growing
section. The farmers are in the midst
of threshing and everybody is busy,
The fall-cown grain, it is estimated
will thresh twenty-five bushels to the
acre. The volunteer and spring-sown
wheat are not in as good condition as
that grown on summer fallow. The gen
eral sentiment seems to be that next
season will see very little volunteer
grain and those who bave been accus
tomed to sowing in the spring will
scatter the seeds in the fall. - -
Night Watchman Frank Connelly, as
sisted by Thomas Haslam, made a clever
capture last night of one of the diamond
swindlers, who worked the bogus dia
mond on W. T. Wiseman. The officers
were looking for the fellow and traced
him to the brewery. He evidently be
came suspicious that the-pincers were
looking for him, for when he saw them
coming be started for tbe Wasco ware
bouse at a rapid rate. He was caught
and taken to tbe city jail to await bis
examination today. These fellows are
very clever in their way, but the chances
are pretty good that yesterday s game
will be the last they will work for some
lime to come.
Mr. J. A. Douthit of Prineville ar
rived in The Dalles last night. Mr.
Douthit is a newspaper man of experi
ence and ability and comes to tbe city
with a view of locating. He has been
negotiating for some time to purchase
the Times-Mountaineer ,and it is now be
lieved the sale will result. Should the
purchase be made, the Moantaineer will
change its politics and be issued as a
democratic paper. The matter will be
settled one way orjfche other in a day or
two, and if Mr. jDouthit assumes the
paper, he will do so on tbe first of tbe
month. The democrats of The Dalles
will bear a share in raising the purchase
money ,and the Portland democracy have
promised assistance.

this city was chosen corresponding sec
retary for the ensuing year.
One unfortunate greeted the recorder
this morning and admitted that he bad
been indulging too much in strong
iquora. Four dollars was the verdict,
in default of which be went to jail.
The fruit car which was expected to
go last night did notgetaway. It is being
loaded today and in all probability will
leave tonight. Up to noon 575 boxes of
pears and other fruits had been loaded.
The wind last night .caused a great
deal of bother along the railroad track.
The sand was piled in many places and
the railroad men bad to dig their way as
though it were a snow bank. The
trains are ranning on time.
The stock yards are a ecene of activity
again today. The remainder of the Far
gher sheep are being loaded, and will be
shipped on a special train today. This
will make . the . second load, as a train
went yesterday carrying sheep to Chi
cago. ;

In spite of the rain last night, which
mast have been much heavier in the
mountains, tbe smoke . still bangs over
the mountains and fills the valleys. All
the surrounding bills are hid from view
and the atmosphere in all directions
looks like a big fog bank.
The work on the new warehouse is
progressing very rapidly and the piling
looks now like a young forest. The
worst part of the work is now over and
there will not be the necessity for doing
so much cribbing work as formerly.
The piles are driven in over ten feet
until they strike bed rock and can go no
further. Mr. Sands, who is in charge of
this part of the undertaking, is an, ex
perienced man in the business and is
showing bis knowledge in the way the
present work is being done.

introduced by the defefiBe, tbe justice
concluded to bind tbe defendant over to
the grand jury. -The matter of bonds
was discussed and finally were placed at
$500. Mr. Denton filed tbe necessary
bail bond with C. W. Denton, T. M.
Denton and J- L. Thompson as sureties.
The justice. court has done an unusual
amount of business tbe last , few days.
There have been quite a number of cases
before it and all of tbem Important.
Two Chinamen were examined on a
murder charge, one man charged with
arson and today two men accused of
swindling bave been going through the
mill. Besides this the case of Mr. Taffe

attained, the ladies of the Aid Society

Word from the country says the etorm
last night was of unusual severity in
outlying districts. A gentleman from
15-Mile says be never saw it rain harder
than it did for a few minutes daring the
height of the storm, and some of tbe
galleys were filled with water. " Back of
Chenoweth creek the rain came down. in
torrents, while the wind blew a small-
"Bized hurricane. No particular damage
reported from any locality to the
grain or truit. . The river tnis morning
was colored very muddy, showing that
there were washouts along its banks,
and in some places probably cloudbursts
occurred. " The electrical display was
very marked, the heavens being lighted
by repeatednasnes oi iigntBing.

Justice Davis' court was crowded yes
terday afternoon with spectators intent
on watching the proceedings in the
China murder cases. It was thought
that only one of them would be tried,
and the other used as a witness, but tbe
prosecution decided differently and both
defendants were examined . yesterday.
Lee Git's trial was held in tbe afternoon.
The testimony was similar to that
given at the coroner's inquest. Dr.
Doane testified as to the nature of the
wound and the fact that the defendant
was pointed oat by the dying man as bis
slayer. Mr. Lochhead, Sheriff Driver
and City, Marshal Blakeney repeated
their testimony, previously given. The
state was represented by Deputy Pros.
Atty Phelps and Henry E. McGinn of
Portlandwhile Huntington and Wilson
appeared for the defense. The prosecu
tion did not put in all their testimony,
while the defense was content to merely
cross-examine the state's witnesses, and
reserved its evidence till the circuit
court trial. The proceedings were un
marked by anything out of the usual
questioning, save now and then a bout
between the opposing lawyers as to the
admissability of evidence. When the
state had rested in "Lee Git's examina
tion, the defense waived their testimony
and the justice bound the- defendant
over to the grand jury without bail.
The examination of Lee Ching, who is
accused of being an accomplice, was
much tbe, same, and he was also bound
over to the grand jury. The attorneys
for the defense made an effort to have
Lee Ching released on bail, which the
prosecution resisted. The justice said
he would take the matter under advise
ment and render a decision at 10 o'clock.
This morning Justice Davis decided
that he would not admit to bail Lee
Ching, the Chinaman accused of being
an accomplice " in the recent murder.
Both Chinamen will now be confined in
jail till the giand jury meets, but will
be kept separate, eo that no communica
tion between tbem can be neld. .

A meeting of business men was held
last night in tbe council chambers to

A large number of representative citizens

lister called tbe meeting to order? The
chairman stated the object of the gath
ering, and laid - the matter before those
who' were pfesent for discussion. Mr.
Mac Allister stated that if the fair waa
to be ' held, it would be- necessary to
raise" a earn of money which would in
sure its success. The amount was vari- -ously
estimated from $300 to $1000.
Should this sum be pledged, the success
of the district fair would be guaranteed.
Anjnformal dlecussion oy several busi
ness men developed tbe fact that them
was little doubt but what the amount
could be raised. '
A motion was made and carried that
a committee be appointed to canvass the
town and see what amount could be
raised. The committee was composed
of M. A. Moody, A. S. Mac Allister, H.
J. Maier, J. S. Fish, L. E. Crowe, J. P.
Mclnerny, Owen Williams, J. O. Mack.
Several others will be added to the list.
The committee was instructed to report
at - the earliest opportunity, and the
meeting adjourned to be called again
when the committee shall have done its
work.
.After the meeting adjourned tbe com
mittee met and discuseed wfys and
means for securing pledges. The sub
scription book for the Fourth of July
celebration was gone over and estimates
made upon that basis. The work for
today was mapped out, tbe city being
divided into districts, and different gen
tlemen assigned to various portions. .
Much enthusiasm was shown through
out the meeting, and the sentiment was
fully expressed that a rousing fair meet
ing this fall would be just wbat The
Dalles needs.
Word was received yesterday that O.
D. Taylor bad arrived in Saginaw, and
been placed under $16,000 bonds. At
the time of the writing be had not se- '
cured them. The preliminary trial will
occur today. The defendant has secured
the services of a prominent Michigan
attorney. The outcome of this matter
will be watched with a great deal of in
terest by everyone who has seen the be
ginning of North Dalles and tbe various
stages through which it has passed.
The opinions of people as to how the
case will result are somewhat varied.
