Dr Lewenberg, who left The Dalles
few days ago for Walla Walla lost a valu
able pocket book while on the train
He missed it after the train had left
Pendleton, and telegraphed the conduc
tor of bis misfortune. The article was
found by one of the railway officials and
the owner received it by express. The
doctor will think that the eyes of the
man who found the pocket book will
need no fixing.
The funeral of the late I. I. Burgett
took place this afternoon at 2 o'clock
from the Masonic Hall. The services
were very simple consisting of singing
the beautiful hymn, "One Sweetly
Solemn Thonght", by the choir, and a
touching prayer by Rev." W. C. Cuvtis
The services were very largely attended
and the procession of carriages showed
in what esteem the dead man was held
The services at the grave were conduc
ted by Dr. O. D. Doane, the master o
the Masonic lodge.
The scene at the dock Saturday night
was a reminder of the landing in New
York of an ocean steamer direct from
Europe. The boat carried many people
returning from the coast and each one
had two or three friends ready with
greetings. The amount of kissing that
went ou between the fair young ladies
made the crowd of young bachelors
green with envy till they thought there
were two sides to the question, whether
it was better to be born a boy or a girl
After the required amount of osculation
was gone through with, bundles and
baggage were gathered ' up and the
sprawling on the ground. A farmer
driving in this morning, asked inno
cently, where Mr. McHaley was going
to move his barn, but that gentleman
replied he was seeking anchor chains
instead of moving appliances.
The bouse of Truman Butler, which
has. been undergoing a process of re
modeling for some time, is now nearly
completed. Extensive alterations and
improvements have been made, and -the
residence is now practically a new one,
it will be an ornament to that portion
of town. Some people are wondering
bow long it will remain unoccupied, but
mis question might be embarrassing.
When completed, the new residence
of J. M. Huntington, on the bluff, will
be one of the handsomest in town. The
situation is a commanding one, and-the
building built according to the latest
architectural design.. The plastering is
of a new kind, and makes a splendid
finish for the walls, ' being perfectly
smooth and free from any cracks. The

bered in the lives of those who attend.

ly enjoy a good time when away from

give abundant opportunity for the exer
cise ot social qualities.

1. 1. Burget died yesterday morning at
a little after 1 6'elock. The intelligence
cansed little wonderment among the cit
izens' o( the town, who have watched
for the last two years, Mr. Burget's
struggle against almost certain fate.
For several years he has been a sufferer
from that dread consumption, and as
each day passed its close found him
weaker. Sunday morning he was taken
with a eevere fit of coughing, and arising
sat on the edge of the btd. Mrs. Burget
hastened to his side, and Jound him
stricken with a hemorrhage. Physi
cians were summoned, but before they
could arrive he was past all earthly aid.
In a few minutes from the time he be
gan to cough, death' took him. Mr.
Burget felt somewhat better the last few
days, and Saturday was in bis office till
6 o'clock. He had made arrangements
to go fishing on Chenoweth creek, and
in the evening expressed a wish to have
breakfast earlier. He had . purchased
fishing tackle for the occasion. .
Mr. Burget was liked to a degree that
few men ever are.- It is doubtful if a
man could be taken from the city who
would be more sincerely missed than I.
I. Burget. He bad in him all the quali
ties of true manhood. Although doomed
to a certain death, that might come
slow or . .fast, the length of time being,
at the best,-not very long, he kept
cheerful heart, and up to the day
death uttered no word of complain
Faithful, honest and generous, his place
will be a bard one to fill in the circle of
friends and acquaintances.
' Mr. Burget first came to The Dalles
in 1876, but went to Poget eound, re.
turning in 1883. He worked ton
years for Mr. Hugh Glenn, and then
formed . a partnership with Mr,
J. Crandall, : which has continued
ever since. ' He was repeatedly honored
with public office and at the election
last J une, received every vote tnat was
cast for city treasurer. Mr. Burget was
a believer in the principles of Masonry,
and stood high in the Order, being
member of the Royal Arch degree. He
was twice married, and leaves .a wife
and three children. He was born
Illinois forty-four years ago. Several
months ago Mr. Burgett submitted to an
operation for the removal of an abscess
and although greatly weakened at the
time, seemed to rally and grow better
but the improvement was only tempo
rary and the inroads of the silent con
snmtr were every day more apparent
If the world were fall of more men
like 1. 1. Burget, it then would be littl
need of preaching against the eins
men.

'What Others Think of Us.
Wheneyer a bad report goes abroad, it
is pleasing to hear it followed by a good
one, so that the effect is counteracted.
It cannot be contradicted that Wasco
county has a debt that is very annoying,
Dut at tne same time we are glad our
neighbors know that we have the re
sources and ability, and, above all, the
disposition to liquidate it. The follow
ing from the, East Oregonian illustrates
the point in question :
Wasco county is in debt $100,000. It
is gratifying, however, to know that The
Dalles and - Wasco county s future is
brighter than the past bas ever been.
and the chances are that the debt will
oe wiped out by good management and
economy in the next few years. '
The Racing Cart.

A marriage license was granted this
morning to A. E. Stewart . and Miss
Margaret Watson. Both the lucky peo
ple ate from Antelope. '
is king again.
Mr. A. D. . McDonald, a prosperous
farmer of Sherman county, has leased
bis land and will remove to The Dalles,
where ne will make his home. He has
rented the old Lee property on the bill.
Through the kind co-operation of Mr.
E. E. Lytle, agent of the O. R. & N. Co.
The Dalles, Mr. R. W. Baxter, the
Portland representative of the Union
Pacific, 'and Mr. A. G. Barker, the
Chicago and Northwestern agent in
Portland, the hose cart, which our boys
recently ordered from the east.was billed
through at one half the regular tariff.
The saving amounted to twenty dollars,
which will come in very conveniently to
the hose companies just at this time, and
they are under obligations for the
courtesy shown. It will make them try
alljbe harder to win the race. . ;
Freight for Prluevllle.
Four'wagon loads of freight for Prine-
ville left the Wasco warehouse today,
mere were two trains ot two wagons
each and drawn by eix horses. - Over
ten tons of merchandise were loaded in
the wagons, consigned to Prineville mer
chants. M. Sichel & Co., M. D. Powell
& Co., Howard & Belknap, C. M. Elkins
& Co.-and Fuller & Co., were, among' the
consignees. W. Taylor, and H.. P.
Evans drove the wagons. The mer
chants from the interior are receiving
their late fall supplies. The roads are
reported in fairly good condition. '
Bound Orer to the Grand Jury.
A party of Odd Fellows left The Dalles
yesterday to attend the funeral of the
late D. E. Thomas, which occurred at
Dufur; 1 he services were held in the
Methodist cbur.ih. The sermon was
preached by the Rev. .Mr. Merrill and
was a . hne eulogy 01 the dead man s
past life. The funeral was by far the
largest ever held in Dufur, and possibly
the procession the largest the county
has ever seen. Forty-one carriages were
in line and over fifty people on horse
back followed the remains to their last
resting place, in the little hillside ceme
tery, near Dufur. Mr. Thomas was an
old and respected resident and .bad
served the people of Dufur viry accept
ably as postmaster. Previous to living
there he was a resident of Prineville,
where he served, several years as post
master. The party from The Dalles
went out in the wagonette and consisted
of the following Odd Fellows : IJ Nor
man, W H Butts, 0 D Doane, George
Roch, H Fiege, H C Nielsen, I C Nickel-
sen, T A Ward, George Pbirman, C. L,
Phillips and Henry Clough.

Walter Brooks and F. A. Pease were
yesterday bound over to the grand jury.
Their bonds were placed at $150 each,
bnt up to the present time they had not
furnished them, and are now in the
county jail. The defense put in its tes
timony yesterday afternoon, but it vas
not strong enough to convince Jus
tice Davis of the defendants' innocence
and he gave the' men a chance to tell
their troubles to the grand jury.
Major McNeil, receiver and -general
manager of the O. R. & N. Co., and
Henry Failing, the wealthy banker- of
Portland, visited The. Dalles yesterday
They came up on the local train and
after spending the interim in looking
over tne company s interests, returned
to Portland. Just what the object of
their visit was could not be learned
Both gentlemen realized that "silence is
golden" and were extremelv close-
mouthed. They engaged in conversation
with few people around the hotel, but
their remarks were on matters entirely
foreign to railways and the O. R. & N.
in particular r This is the second vit-it
Mr. Failing has paid our city within a
short time and it is not to be supposed
that he comes merely to pass the time
away even if he bas a pass. Mr. Mc
Neil, a few days previous, had started
on a trip to the East, but was recalled
by a telegram urging him to return. If
any changes are to be made which will
affect The Dalles they will probably be
learned in due time.
Some Superior Sheep.
Albert S. Roberts, an extensive stock
raiser on the Deschutes, has just brought
from Troutdale six thoroughbred Shrop
shire lambs, which he purchased at that
place. The lambs were bought from Mr.
Cleveland, "an experienced stockman,
and who has been very successful in
such business. The animals are fine
looking specimens. The wool on , the
body of most of them' is very white,
while their beads and legs ' are coal
black, the contrast making a pretty
looking animal. Three of them were
boinin March and three in May, but
they are unusually large. They will be
used for mutton breeding purposes prin
cipally, but their wool is a long staple
and of fine variety. The sheep are now
at Agnew'e feed yard, near the old mint.
Mr. Roberts intends taking them to the
country today.
Returned Front Spokane.
At the Baldwin Last Night.
Mr. J. H. Cross returned yesterday
from Spokane, where he went as a dele
gate from the Methodist church of this
city, to the Columbia conference held in
'Spokane. The meeting be describes as a
great gathering. Ministers and dele
gates were present from nearly all the
churches la the Columbia district and
the greatest interest was shown in every
topic that came before the assemblage.
Bishop Bowman, the senior bishop of
the Methodist church, was present and
delivered powerful addresses. Other
distinguished personages, notably among
whom was Dr. John F. Goucher, presi
dent of the Woman's college at Balti
more, were present and lent dignity and
power to the conference.
The question' of admitting women
delegates to a seat in the conference
body was brought before the gathering
and warmly discussed. When vote
was taken an overwhelming majority
was found in favor of their admission, eo
in this instance the ladies are trium
phant. . A vigorous effort was made by
the members of the Methodist church in
The Dalles to have Rev. J. H. Wood,
their present pastor, returned for
another year.
The Opening- of School.
Over 400 scholars were enrolled at the
opening of the public schools yesterday.
Many will arrive every day during the
remainder of the week and until the
harvAt is over the complete attendance
will not have been enrolled. The
teachers were bney yesterday assigning
new students to classes and seeing that
the former scholars were properly classi
fied. The book-stores were crowded
with girls and boys, big and little, who
came to secure the books out of which
their beads were to be filled with
wisdom. At the close of the day's ses
sion the streets bore an appearance
which the long vacation had made un
familiar. Troops of children, with books
under their arms, were coming from
school, gaily chattering over the pros
pects of work before them. The prin
cipal and his associates are all thorough
instructors and with the strong support
given by the present board of directors
the present year should be the most
successful in the history of our public
schools. -The enrollment this morning
was an even 500.
- -
Mr. C. G. Strong, principal of the
public schools at Anderson, Cal., says:
'I have used Chamberlain's Pain Balm
and have found it an excellent remedy
for . lameness and slight wounds."
Lameness usually results from a sprain,
or other injury, or from rheumatism, for
which Chamberlain's Pain Balm is es
pecially intended and unequalled.- It
fiords almost immediate relief and in a
short time effects a permanent cure.
For sale by Blakeley & Houghton Drug
gist.-
The Pay ton company opened a week's
engagement at the .Baldwin last night
to a crowded bouse. All the seats were
taken, and the "Standing Room Only"
sign, although not in evidence, was ap
propriate. The title -piece was "Falsely
Accused," a drama of much merit and
originality. The scene. is laid in Eng
land, a part in a country village, and
another portion in the Portland prison.
A fast young man and an honest brother
are the figures around which the plot is
weaved, and many side characters are
introduced, which relieve the serious
ness of the drama. "Harry Glyndon"
is accused of robbing his father, and be-,
ing convicted, is sentenced to a term of
years in the Portland prison. He es
capes, only to be re-captured. Finally"
he is proven innocent through the testi-'
mony of a money sharper, "Levi Moses,"
who previously had concealed bis
knowledge of the affair. The fast young
man is shown to have done the deed,
and the innocent triumph in the asual
way.
The piece Was an exceptionally strong
one, and held the undivided attention
of the audience from the raising of the
curtain to the reconciliation between
father and son In the last act. Benter
Payton, as "Levi Moses,", the London
sharper, scored a great success, and his
every movement and witty speeches
brought tforth sallies of laughter from
the audience. The part of "Harry
Glyndon" was taken by Fred Moly
neaux, a new member of the company, 1
and an actor of much power and pathos.
Lucy Payton won the hearts of the an-'
dience, as she did on her former visit to '
The Dalles. Her acting was refined and
natural. Loyd Fancher, as "Jack," the
London vilhan in gentleman's clothes,
acted well his part, as did D. . Curta
in the double roll of "Owen Glyndon,'.'
the father, and the Irish warden of the
prison. The remainder of the cast beld -well
to the standard the others had set.
The play, taken as a whole, was one Of
the best and cleanest ever presented to a
Dalles audience, and the hearty applause
that greeted the actors showed bow
much the audience appreciated the pro
duction. No one will regret attending the per
formance of the Payton company, and
Manager Birgfeld and bis associates of
the Orchestra Union are to be compli
mented for securing such a high class
attraction. -
