" The farmers are hurrying with their
threshing and getting the sacks of wheat
under cover. The threatening aspect pt
the weather is a reminder of, the rainy
season of two yearB ago, when . a vast
amount of wheat in Klickitat, Sherman
and Wasco counties was destroyed. We

haven't as much to lose.

monstrance has been filed, will be heard
at 4 o'clock.
Mr. B. C. Wallia of Rufua is in the
city, today. . He .. reports the price of
wheat at that station to be from 31 to 32
cents. Wheat is bringing 42 to 43 cents

-Two- drunken Indians were arrested
last night and brought before the re.
corder this morning. As they had nei
ther money nor friends and seemed de
sirous of obtaining board at the county's
expense, the recorder thought the best
punishment would be to let them go,
and be so ordered,
Manager Birgfeld yesterday , wired our
hose team at -Vancouver inviting them
to attend - the performance at the Bald
win tonight. ' Seats will be reserved for
the . boys and the theatre, appropriately
decorated with blue and white, . the
colors of, the, team. ,A. large, attendance
will doubtless he present to greet the

A train load of horses is expected to
pass through town today. They will re

knife at the Lmnton establishment. By
the number of. shipments which are be
ing made a few more horse canneries
will soon dispose of the surplus studs,
which. the trolly -car and bicycles have
made a drug on the market. .
Great preparations are being made to
show tonight that they can return a
favor as well as take one.
Dr. Eshelman has received notice
his appointment as consulting physician
on the staff of the Portland hospital
which has been turned into a homeo
pathic institution.
The total enrollment of the pnblic
schools for this week ia 522. The num
ber of scholars for the same period
year ago was 455, a gain of 67. The
high school this year numbers 61 pupils
against 44 last year. The anticapation
by teachers and directors for a larger at
tendance has been justified, and the end
ia not yet'. ' .
The funeral of the late Lyndon Tay
lor took place yesterday from the Con
gregational church. A large number of
sorrowing friends of the family attended
the services, while many schoolmates of
the dead boy were present. There were
evidences of much grief in the large cir
cle of friends, which dnring his life time
Lyndon possessed. . The services were
brief, but very impressive. : The pastor,
W. C. Curtis, preached a short sermon.
One of the rules of the Firemens As
sociation, is that at every . meeting a
banquet shall be given to the - visiting
fire companies. As this waa not done
at Vancouver, Messers Sin not and Fish
supplied the deficiency as far as The
Dalles boys were concerned by the ele
gant repast given them last night. And
the best of it was that some of the
friends of the hose team were able to be
present which would not have been the
case at Vancouver. . '.

from Vancouver-saying tbo-Dalles boys

an interest in this sort of thing were on
the qui vive of excitement during the

patiently for the news. ; When it was

The house that greeted the Payton
company last night was a crowded one.
The announcement that the hose boys
would be invited was the attraction that
drew many people . besides the large
number that went to see the actors for
their own sokes. Blue and white bunt
ing decorated the stage and the fact that
there had been a tournament was every
where made apparent. Senter Payton
appeared with an immenee rosette of the
team's colors and the different members
of the company made the same sort of
recognition. An entire row of seats had
been placed across the building, which
were occupied by the hose team.
The play, "Man and Master," which
was presented last night, is a new one to
Dalles audience. Senter and Lucy
Payton in their roles of comedy did
good work, and the singing Dy.the latter
of "Little Alabama Coon" brought out
repeated encores. Mr. Molyneaux and
Mr. Fansher acted well the serious
parts, while Dk E. Curts as Kelson Oak,
the villian of the plav, acted his role
with great sucess. The remainder of
the cast gave good support. Tonight
the famous "Octoroon" will be present
ed to the audience.

Onr Team Wins on the "Dalles City.'
The winning qualities of The Dalles
team did not end when : they left
Vancouver -for home. : They also won
three; races on, board the steamer
Dalles City and distanced all competi
tors. The beefsteak race against time
was won in 2 min. and 3 .sec. The
hotcake sweepstakes against Cascade
Locks was won so qnickly that time
could not be 'taken. The soup and pie
race against vall comers was won by a
scratch : spoonful, after which they took
the Regulator for home, and arrived in
fine condition for the Umatilla House
banquet. Steward Talbot says whoever
backs .The Dalles , team . .against the
human race in a pie match is a sure
winner. Tbe boys declare . the fault is
with the stewards and their assistants for

A large audience greeted the Paytons
last night and listened to the production
for the first time in The Dalles of "The
Three Musketeers of the Brush, or Life
in the Latin Quarters, Paris." The
plot was well known . to those who had
read a recent novel of international
fame and the scenes were familiar ones,
though under a new caption. The play
laet night' was tbe best that this com
pany has yet given - in The Dalles,
Although the story -is one of great -in
terest, tbe dramatization haa been hard
to accomplish and it is only a high order
of acting that can hold the attention of
an ordinary audience throughout the
plot.. The story is intricate, and while
many parts are amusing to read, the
situations on the stage are such that un
less in tbe hands of artists they would
be apt to appear flat. That tbe latter fact
did not occnr last night is itself high
praise for the members of the Payton
company. This difficult piece was acted
with much skill by every participant in
the cast. .
Senter Payton, who took the part of
'.'Svengali," the hypnotic villian, proved
himself an actor of far more than ordin
ary merit.: The character of "Svengali"
was far different from any other part Mr.
Payton baa taken in The Dalles and very
different from tbe comedy, in which he
excels.. In bis make-up he looked . the
image of the "Svengali," as pictured by
Da Maurier. His acting was at all
times powerful and .rrew from the
audience much com mendation. In bis
hypnotic scenes he was especially strong.
F. C Molyneanx made a capital
Taffy," large in frame and of boundless
good nature. He was ably seconded by
the other member of the. trio of friends,
the "Laird,": impersonated by D. E.
Curts. Both these gentlemen had parts
admirably suited to their histrionic
powers. t
"Little Billie," who with "Trilby," is
one of the attractive personages of the
story, was : taken . by Vina Payton,
who acted the part admirably. .
Lucy Payton was an ideal "Trilby" and
added much to her already full crown of
laurels. In looks andactiona 6he carried
out the character of one who while nnder
the . influence of -a stronger mind,
changed her character into that- of
another. ; - ' ;
Iola Payton, as "Madame Vinard,"and
the remainder of , the cast carried out
tbe parts assigned to them in a manner
very satisfactory to the audience. 7
Those who did not attend last night
missed something well worth peeing. . .
The Baces This Morning at Tanconver.
The news which cornea from Astoria
today is not ns cheering as that of yes
terday. ' ' Two telegrams, received " at
noon, say that in the dry test, which
waa run this morning, the-Astoria boys
made the time in 46 seconds ; The Dalles
m 46 2-5 ; Vancouver in 47, and Oregon
City in 49. A dispute immediately
arose over the fact that the Astoria team
did not screw the nozzle tight. : The
dispatch stated that the judges gave the
race to Oregon City, and disqualified tbe
other contestants. The message is full
of mysteries, and gives no hint of why
the three teams were disqualified. A
protest was enteredrand' the decision
will probably be held in abeyance till
the matter ia further looked into.
In the apeed contest , which occurred
later, the Astoria boys were again victo
nous, with tbe. Dalles ' team second.
Tbe Astoria ran in 23 4-5," Vancouver
25, Oregon City 24J, Dalles 24 1-5.
The great race of the meeting is this
afternoon, when the championship con
test will occur. As the race will not oc
cur till 3 o'clock, and . will occupy con
siderable time , in running, the result
will probably not reach us before going
to press. Everyone is anxioua for The
Dalles team to win this race, as it is the
chief one of the series.
Death of a Bright Young Man.
- Lyndon Taylor, oldest son of Mr. and
Mrs. Frank P. Taylor, died this morning
at a little after 6 o'clock. He had been
eick several days, suffering from inflam
mation of the bowels, and yesterday the
attending physician and watchers saw
that life was ebbing and death near.
Lynn was aged just 17, and was an un
usually bright and manly boy.. He waB
the idol of his father and mother, and
the blow to them will be a crushing one.
Ho attended regularly the Congrega
tional church, and the pastor, Mr. Cur
tis, spent most of yesterday at the bed
side. - Several days ago Lyndon waa on a visit
to his grandmother, Mrs. J. H. Moeler, at
Mosier station, and went in swimming.
Soon afterwards he began to feel badly
and thinking he would be sick, got on
his horse and rode home, a distance of
over sixteen miles. He waa taken much
worse ' immediately, and for sometime
before his death was delirious. The
funeral services will take place tomor
row. -- -- '
Rome From the Conference.
diminished by its treatment of the con
ference members. Mr. Wood will occupy
bis pulpit as usual next Sunday. '
A. Belief In the Future of The Dalles.
Rev. J. H. Wood returned yesterday
from the conference and comes prepared
to remain in The Dalles another year.
The appointments to the different
charges were very satisfactory to both
ministers and churches and the utmost
good feeling and enthusiasm pervaded
all the work of the conferet.ee. . Tbe
people of Spokane extended every possi
ble courtesy to their visitors and tbe
bouses of citizens were thrown open for
entertainment. On last Sunday the
variout pulpits were occupied by visiting
Methodist, ministers, who preached to
large audiences. .. The reputation of
Spokane for hospitality waa in no way
' Mr. John Summervijle and family,
who have been spending the summer at
Hay Creek, were in The. Dalles last
night on their way to Portland. They
took passage by the Regulator this
morning. Mr,' Summerville makes his
home in Portland, but spends a large
portion of the y ear at Hay Creek, Crook
county, where he is interested in the
Baldwin Sheep and Live Stock Com
pany. In conversation with a Chsoni-
clb representative, Mr. Summerville
expressed an .opinion in which he con
sidered the prospects of The Dalles to
be of the very brightest nature. "The
country," he said, "which surrounds
this city 'is fast settling up and new-
farms are continually being opened.
With the opening of tbe Cascade locks a
greater stimulation to all kinds of busi
ness enterprises will be the natural re
sult, and this fact will bring a large in
flux of immigration."
Mr. Summerville is one of Oregon's
successlul men, and his judgment is one
that carries great weight with it.
The Dalles Boys Got an Oration.
Our hose team made a very favorable
impression at Vancouver yesterday, and
at the close were enthusiastically
cheered. Both in appearance and .be
havior, our . boys . elicited , much
favorable comment, aa the following;
from the Vancouver correspondent of
tbe Oregon inn will show. . . .... ,'
A tediona delay occured between this
and the last rnn, and when the splendid-looking
fellows from The Dalles fin
ally put in an appearance tbe prolonged
cheers which greeted them was probably
aa much an expression of relief as of ap
probation.. The plucky East Oregonians
made a magnificent race without a bob
ble, and captured first money by three
fifths of a second. Pandemonium fairly
broke out when the decision of the
judges waa announced, and the members
of the victorious team were fairly car
ried off their feet-by the enthusiastic
crowd. - Tbe members . of tbe ' Van
couver team cheered as loudly aa the
rest, feeling that thev had enough of a
Victory for one day, and that the honors
had been fairly won by their opponents.
