John Crate purchased them from John Perry, H. ; Johnson, E. Bratchie and Mr. Foreythe and then sold them to Monroe Grimes for the Trout dale Packing establishment. The stock brought the top notch price, as their condition was excellent. The men who are at work in The Dalles yard limits, replacing the old telegraph poles with new ones, are find ing the task rather difficult. Most of the poles had to be set in Bolid rock, re quiring a great deal of blasting. Today the men were at work on the Mill creek bridge. The project of re-building the entire line between here and Portland is now completed with the exception of the portion between The Dalles and Mosier.

They have been absent for a month, and visited all the principal places of interest in the East. The agents and their families visited Niagara Falls in a large excursion. Three special trains were run from Bos ton, consisting of luxurious Wagner sleeping cars. Everything that could enhance the pleasure of the visit was done, and the trip will be long remem bered. On their way home Mr. and Mrs. Lytle stopped in Pennsylvania to yisit relatives. The case ot tbe city versns the women charged with violating a city ordinance, came to an abrupt close this morning by the city's attorney moving to' dismiss the actions. This action was taken by a defect being discovered and made apparent to all the attorneys and re corder. The bail money was refunded and those who bad been arrested were allowed to go. It is the intention, so the city officials say, to make the arrests again and try the case to a finish. The battle so far is a drawn one, but the end seems not to be yet. A flim-flam game was attempted on W. E. Garretson yesterday, which re suited in tne nim-nammer getting a bruised bead. About 4 o'clock a well dressed stranger entered tbe jewelry store and told Mr. Garretson he wished to buy a gold locket. After being shown several different kinds he wished to see more, and while tbe jeweler's back was turned put one of the lockets he bad been handling into his pocket. Mr. Garretson missed it, however, and after waiting a few minutes to Bee whether the fellow meant to steal, demanded that he give it np. A refusal brought on a scrimmage at the close of which the thief gave np the locket and went down the street as fast as a pair of good legs could take him. Diarrhoea should be stopped promptly. It soon becomes chronic. De Witt's Colic and Cholera Cure is effective, safe and certain. Hundreds of testimonials bear witness to the virtue of this great medicine. It can always be depended upon, its use saves time and money. Snipes-Kinersly Drug Co. - Cholera Morbus is a dangerous com plaint, and often is fatal in its results. Tq avoid this you should use De Witt's Colic & Cholera Cure, as soon as tbe first symptoms appear. Snipes-Kinersly Drug Co. ' Acting nnder instructions from the council, City Marshal Biakeney and Nightwatchman . Connelly ' last night rounded up the questionable houses of the town, which exist in opposition to the municipal ordinances. . Eighteen women, .inmates of so-called lodging honses, were arrested and brought be fore the city recorder, who kept , his office open till 2:30 this morning, im posing fines and fixing bail. The regu lation penalty fixed by the recorder was $20, which was paid by only one of tbe women. Fifteen gave a caBh bail of $20 each and two spent the night in jail. The matter has caused great consterna tion in certain circles, and it is probable tbe validity of the ordinance . will be tested. The End of the Convention.' The Christian Endeavor convention ended its labors last evening. " The meeting was in every way a great sue. cess and the delegates returned to their homes encouraged by tbe cheering re ports from the different societies and en thused to greater efforts during the com ing year. The afternoon session began with a praise service, led by Rev. W. E, Hoskins of the Cascade Locks Methodist church, which was followed by ten-min ute talks Try different members of the convention. Two . papers, by Mrs, W. D. Palmer of Portland and Miss Cora Aldrich of Cascades, greatly interested the delegates. In the evening the large church was crowded with visitors who listened at tentively to all the proceedings. After tbe devotional services were over, some time was spent in the business of tbe meeting and listening to the reports of the committee of resolutions and the committee on credentials. Music by a quartet, composed of Miss Aldrich, Bessie Rowland, Dr. Eshelman and Rev. I. H. Hazel, was the next on tbe pro gram. Tbe address of the evening was by Rev. J. H. Woods, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church of The Dalles. Mr. Wood's subject was "Chris tian. Citizenship" and bis words were fraught with wisdom. Both in subject matter and manner of delivery' Mr. Wood was earnest and impressive. He called upon all people to set high ideals of good citizenship and strive to attain them and impressed npon the young people how much responsibility for the country's future depended npon them. Mr. Wood's address was well received and maiiy favorable comments were made at the close of the meeting. Mrs. E. C. Price sang in, a pleasing manner Rodney's sacred solo, "Calvary." The consecration meeting was presided over by Miss Aldrich and proved a period of much spiritual enjoyment. Many of tbe delegates Bpoke on religious topics. At the close of the evening's exercises the usual handshaking and good byes were gone through with and both delegates and visitors dispersed after thoroughly enjoying all phases of the convention, Tbe place and date for the next conven tion was left to the choice of the execu tivt committee. ' A Great Time for the Elks. The Dalles members of the order of Elks are looking forward with pleasura ble anticipations of the meeting in Port land the second week in October. The Elks of the metropolis hve made ar rangements for a grand time and mem bers will attend from The Dalles, Cas cade Locks, Pendleton, Walla Walla and aa far east as Moscow.' Idaho. An Elk day will be a feature of the exposition. One of the great attractions will be the presence of Past Grand Exalted Ruler Hay of Washington, D. C. A re ception will be given Mr. Hay, for which elaborate preparations have been made. A committee of Elks, comprising State Treasurer Metschan, Judge Frank A. Moore, of the supreme court, Attorney General Idleman and Ex-Attorney Gen eral George E. Chamberlain, were ap pointed a committee to meet Mr. Hay at the state line and welcome him to the state of Oregon.

In tbe evening tbe Elks will hold sway in the exposition. A special train may possibly be run. The Water Witch Visits The Dalles. The residents of The Dalles heard the whistle of a steamboat on tbe river front yesterday which considerably mystified them, as the sound was different from the well-known tones of the Regulator, heard ..... - j so regularly in tbe morning and evening. The promenaders on the street and the loiterers on the corners hastened to the dock where they found a trim little craft just making a landing, she 7"" 7fr !t? Irm "f" Locks and belonging to the contractors t , t -.r t . Messrs. j J. ana x. sx. uay. - ai me i wheel was Capt. f. h. Sherman, weiir known on the middle Columbia,, while Tom King acted as engineer. ' The pas sengers were "Doc" Day and Mr. Mc Kee, the head bookkeeper for the con tracting firm at tbe Locks. The Water Witch is a trim little craft quite a number of passengers. She is "Old Hickory" Wagon Is knocking them all out. Best material, best ironed, best painted, best made Wagon on the Coast. Our 3-inch " Old Hickory Wagon" has as large Spokes. Felloes, Etc., as any other make of 3 Wagon, and is Better Ironed. Don't take our word for it; measure it yourself. And the Price? What's the matter -with it? It's all right. Come and see it. MaYS ( CROWE, Second and Federal Sts., used as a dispatch boat to ply- between the government works and the quarry, three or four miles up the river. The steamer left the Cascades at 9 o'clock yesterday morning and. made stops at Cates' mill, Sprague and Chenowith, where the boat went up the Little White Salmon for quite a distance, and at White Salmon for a twenty-five minute stop. From the latter point the Water Witch made a straight run to The Dalles, reaching here a little after 3 o'clock. It is an uncommon thing to hear a strange steamboat whistle at The Dalles and for a moment people thought that some thing must have happened at the Locks so that a boat passed through. Possible Reduction In Kates. Mr. Albert Stillman, who is one of the chief surveyors in tbe Insurance Union, was in The Dalles Saturday, and in com pany with T. A. Hudson, J. S. Fish and Engineer Brown, made a tour of the city and examined the water system, closely inspecting the fire plugs and not ing the appliances with which we are a Die to ngnt a nre. jar, stillman is here to see if The Dalles can be granted a twenty-per-cent reduction in insur ance rates, and upon his reports de pends the result.. In conversation with a Chronicle re porter it was stated that only one thing is needed to make The Dalles sure of getting the reduction, And that one thing is a fire alarm system. The in' surance companies say they are willing to reduce the rates if the city will take tbe trouble and expense to put in a sys tern of alarms. It is understood that Messrs. Seufert & Condon have ex pressed a willingness to put in tbe sys tem, and make it complete in every de tail, at a cost to the city of $15 per month. The saving in rates of insurance would be many times aB great.. The matter will be brought before the conn' cil at its next meeting. How They Fish In Hood River. A certain well-known member of tbe dental profession recently went to Hood River for a little fishing. On his return he related the number of 'finny beauties he had caught, and quoted it at 250, and their lengths from four to six inches. The tale finally reached tbe ears of his Hood River host, and he addressed a letter to the aforesaid doctor, which fell into the hands of a Chronicle reporter. If the Hood River people can tell as large stories about their fair as this gen tleman did concerning the fish, the fame of the coming fruit exposition will go far and wide. Tbe writer Bays : "I have no desire to belittle the story you tell about catching 250 fish in one day, but it sounds like a small catch in com parison to what we make down here. ' I will just mention one case, where C. G. Roberts, a former townsman of yours, caught 339 fish, weighing 3,249 pounds, in a day. It took two wagons to haul them. So you will see tbe advisability of not mentioning yonr small fish in a place like this, where fishing is good." ' A Saturday Evening Party. During tone of the summer months a small party of excursionists went from The Dalles to Bonneville, where they bad a delightful time, tbe guests of friends there. So thoroughly enjoyable was tbe trip that an early reunion was deemed appropriate to tell each other again what a good time tbey bad, and further to show appreciation to Miss Enright and Mr. G. D.

Bettingen's Old Stand, becond Street . THE DALLES, OR. the trip a pleasure long to be remem bered. For this purpose tbe hospitable home of the Misses Lay was thrown open Saturday night to tbe same young people who had made the trip to Bonne ville. The evening was spent in having a good time, and the guests all declared they had it. During the evening a pleasant diversion occurred by present ing to Miss Enright and Mr. Snowden some tangible tokens as evidences of ap preciation. With the exception of Miss Grimes, who is now in Portland, the same number were present on both oc casion, as follows : Miss Enright, Clara Story, Etta Story, Ursula Rucb, Louise Euch, Miss Lay, Minnie Lay, Messrs. H. H. Riddell and G. D. Snowden. The Sherman Connty Road. The people of Sherman county are in earnest regarding the building of a new road to tbe free bridge. They are tak ing hold of the " matter in a proper spirit, as tbe following letter by one of the promoters, to the Wasco News, evinces: Please allow me to inform your read ers that the proposition for a road down Rattlesnake to the free bridge is vcy favorably' endorsed by The Dalles busi ness men and citizens. In company with our old friend, W. H. Biggs, we visited a number of tbe business men and dealers, among them being Messrs. Glenn and Brooks, who positively assured us that tbe amount asked for, viz, $1500, is forthcoming whenever the road shall have been prop erty established. We also visited tbe large warehouse now being built by tbe Regulator Co., which covers 96x250 feet, and will be soon ready for business, which, by the way, we predict, may receive many a load of Sherman county wheat. The route chosen for the road is the very route proposed by these men when tbe free bridge was first built. We want a dirt grade, and in this route we get one. ' Now is the time to unlock the toll-bridge-poisoned county. J C. W. B. An organized band of ' hoboes visited The Dalles yesterday and proceeded to begin operations. There were about twenty in the crowd. Last night while the members of tbe Home Dramatic Club were practicing in the theatre tbe door was broken open and several men of uncouth appearance, came in. For tunately the heroes of the play were on hand and gave the prying hobos quick notice to leave. A little while later sev eral of the same gang were found prowl ing around the China house on the corner ot Second and Union streets, with tbe evident intention of stealing some clothes which were hanging. npon the line. The city officers gathered the prowlers in and after an examination before the recorder this morning they were remanded to jail. This is the first time such an organized gang ever visited Tbe Dalles, and the officers were wise in taking such prompt action to break np tbe crowd. None Bnt Ayer's at the Worlds Fair. Ayer's Sarsaparilla enjoys the extra ordinary distinction of having been the only . blood purifier allowed an exhibit at the World's Fair, Chicago. Manu facturers of other sarsaparilla sought by ' every means to obtain a showing of their goods, but they were all turned away under the application of the rule fore- bidding tbe entry of patent medicines and nostrums. The decision of the World's fair authoritfes in favor of Ayer's Sarsaparilla was in effect as fol lows: "Aver's Sarbaparilla is not a patent medicine. It does not belong to the list of nostrums. It is here on Us merits." - ' Call at the Snipes-Kinersly Drug Co. those in need of a cook or uovd a voir uouu.vu.v... -iaia V.,; K4o o,- apicuuiu va.iBam j"'f money, simpjy Decause we do tilumbine, tinning, hot inducement to cash buyers. & BENTON,
