A private car containing Superintend
ent O'Brien and party was attached to
the local from Portland this morning.
Today is collection day. Merchants
report that bills are being paid more
promptly than for some nionthe and col
lections are good.
The Degree of honor will hold a meet
ing tonight, at which all members are re
quested to be present. Matters of im
portance will come bofore the lodge.
The sewer on Union street caved in
last night and as a result, the street in
the vicinity is badly overflowed. The
street commissioner is busy today re
pairing the break.
The scow Rustler, with the lumber for
the new dock, arrived last night and no
time waB lost in unloading. The car
penters, who have been inconvenienced
by the non-arrival ot the lumber, will be
again at work.
The Independent Workers held a so
ciable last Monday evening, which was
well attended and thoroughly enjoyed
by those who were present. Three can
didates were initiated, after which the
evening was given over to social enjoy
ment. E. H. Merril, John Osborn and S. S.
Smith leave tomorrow for Crates Point
where they will put in nets and lines
for sturgeon fishing. A good deal of
money was made last year in this busi
ness and a good many fishermen are
going to try it again this season.
While Ihb Chronicle s steam press
was running ofTthe semi-weekly edition,
a fyreak in the machinery occurred, which
caused a temporary delay. The damage
has been repaired and the remaining
papers will be issued today. The city
list had been printed, so it is our coun
try friends who have been inconveni
enced. Justice Davis court has been occupied
all day with a crowd of spectators listen
ing to the trial of Julius Kotherniel,
charged with larceny. Some very amus
ing tilts between the attorneys and wit
nesses occurred. The prosecution has
now been the greater part of two days,
and as the defense has yet to bring in
its witnesses there is no telling when
the case will end.
Constable Urquhart, who had his
shoulder dislocated some time since by
being thrown from a bnggy, has recov
ered sufficiently so that he has discarded
all bandages and taken his arm from
the sling. It will be sometime before he
will be strong enough to perform the
duties of his office. . During his incapa
city Hugh Chrisman is acting as consta
ble. Two deeds and a patent were filed for
record with the county clerk today : The
patent was issued to W. A. Slingerland
and conveyed the w nej, and the vt
ee, sec 12, tp 2 n, r 9 e, W. M. The
state of Oregon also deeded to the same
party the nwj ewj, sec 14, tp 2 n, r 10

Breese to C. W. Dietzel for block 10 in
the Fort Dalles Military Reservation ad
dition to Dalles City.
At the business meeting of the Young
Peoples Society of Christian Endeavor
held last evening in the Congregational
church, it was decided to hold a fair some
time in December. The large armory
will be used for the purpose, and the peo
ple of The Dalles will be given the oppor
tunity of seeing a festival such as was giv
en at times, four or five years ago, before
the disastrous fire. The young people
aregoingto work with vim and from now
till December will be busy making ar
rangements for the feetival.
A band of sheep numbering 2700 was j
ferried across the river today. The
sheep were brought from the Mt. Adams
pasturage and purchased by Messrs.
Wiseman and Sherar for the Chicago
fiiatket. The stockyavds presented a
busy scene today while the sheep were
bring loaded in a train which will take
them eastward tonight. Seventeen cars,
some of them three deckers, were occu
pied by the sheep. The venture of buy
ing this amount of stock and shipping
east is a risky one and it is to be hoped
good fortnne will attend the result.
Despite the fact that Chicago market
lowered its price for wheat yesterday and
Portland dropped a half a cent.the market
in The Dalles remains unchanged. If
anything, the situation ehotvs better
strength. The Diamond Mills is paying
forthy-one cents and offering free fer
riage; the Moody warehouse forty cents.
S. B. Adams is also doing considerable
buying and quotes his figures to the far
mers at forty-one cents. The mill is get
ting most of the wheat today as the item
of free ferriage is an important one to the
farmers. The other warehouses are be
coming crowded. The Wasco has put
In increased flooringtoaccoromodateover
6000 sacks. If the price raises and even
continues at its present figure the next
week will see freer selling. The farme rs
have their eyes on the fifty cent work, and
everybody hopes wheat will reach that
figure.
Thursday's Dally.
Fair and warmer weather is predicted
for tomorrow.
Elder J. H. Miller, pastor of the Cal
vary Baptist church, will be in his pul
pit next Sabbath morning and evening.
Mr. Miller is on his way home from an
extended visit in California.
The topic for consideration at the
Conerezational church tonight will be
"Early Missionary's of This Country."
Some reminiecenses will be told by some
of the older ones and a profitable meet
ing is expected.
The orchestra has been practicing
every evening during the present week
getting in trim for the evening concerts
to be given in the armory during fair
week. Lovers of music will be regaled
with choice selections played in a per
fect manner.
We learn that there are objections in
Sherman county among meat stockmen
entering The Dalles fair for prizes, chief
ly because there is an alleged industrial
enterprise, or combination down there,
resolved upon retaining all honors
amongst themselves. Observer.
The freight train that generally leaves
The Dalles about 8 a. m. for Portland,
contained so many loads this morning
that it failed to get across the bridge
over Mill creek, ihe engine reached
the cut, but then was stalled and had
to back up to the switch. Another en
gine was coupled to the train and this
time the grade was easily made.
City Marshal Blakely received a letter
this morning from Constable Trana, at
Cascade Locks, asking him to be on the
look-out for H. F. Jackson, who is sup
posed to have taken himself to parts un
known. Jackson was arrested two
months ago charged with keeping a
brawdy house, and after an examination
before Justice Birnie, was bound over to
the grand jury. He was released on
bail, and bi.i bondsmen getting alarmed
at his absence noti tied the authorities.
It is possible Mr. Jackson is only taking
a vacation, but those who are interested
in his being present at the next term of
court, wish he would make his inten
tions known.
H. LadebofT, an employe of the Oregon
Lumber Co. at Chenoweth, showed a
Chronicle reporter this afternoon some
gold which bad been found on the head
waters of the Cowlitz river, about 25
miles from Mt Adams and 75 miles from
The Dalles. The gold is found in both
placer and quartz mines, and judging
from the specimen, the find is a rich
one. The company which has been
prospecting at this point consists of
seven men, some of whom are residents
of The Dalles. The prospectors are
greatly elated over the indications so
far and next spring will return to the
locality of their discovery, expecting to
take lots of gold from out the ground.
The country around the head of the
Cowlitz river has long been looked npon
by miners as good mining land and per
sistant work has led to what seem to be
rich diggings.
A new law firm is about to start in The
Dalles, which we are confident will be
numbered among the most successful.
Nicholas J. Sinnott and Roger B. Sin
nott, two young men born and raised in
The Dalles, are busy today preparing to
hang out their sign as attorneys-at-law.
These young gentlemen are the eons oi
Col. N. B. Sinnott, a pioneer citizen of
the Northwest, and have proved them
selves possessors of more than ordinary
ability. They both graduated from the
Wasco Independent Academy and then
went to the Notre Dame university from
which institution they received bach
elors degrees. The senior member of the
firm, Nicholas, studied law under Judge
A. S. Bennett, while Boger holds a di
ploma from the law school of the Notre
Dame university. The Chronicle
wishes them the best of fortune in their
professional career and is confident the
members of the new firm will take high
rank among the lawyers of Oregon.

in conrt this afternoon and entered a plea

A small number of people left on the
Regulator this morning for the Hood
River fruit fair. We expected to see a
large crowd go doirn this morning, but
most of the people are waiting for to
morrow. Horse racing will be one of
the features of tomorrow's card.

This would be a great attraction for tlie
people who come in to the fair, it is un
doubtedly one of the best pieces eyer put
on the boards here by professionals or
amateurs.
The recorder had a large audience
greet him when he put in an appear
ance this morning. The following titled
gentlemen were fined $10, one hobo,

Hon. Geo. A. "Young, a prominent
sheep raiser of this county returned last
night from a trip to Montana, and ex
presses himself as well satisfied to re
main a resident of Eastern Oregon.
Among the many amusing incidents he
has to relate, is that he saw an emigrant
wagon train with the following inscrip
tion conspecuasly displayed, "Colorado

Grover Cleveland's Administration for
Hell and Damnation. We Are Bound
for Oregon, or Bust."
On their arrival in The Dalles, Col.
Sinnott, the veteran fisherman and host
of the Umatilla House, has generously
volanteered to set-urn up for the imi-
grants.
Mr. C. F. Stephen has a very novel dis
play in bis hoe window. It consists of a
flock of ten nearly full grown prairie
chickens which have only been in captiv
ity a week, and they are almost as
tame as domestic chickens. A large
number of people were attracted to the
window last night and many were the
queer questions asked. It seemed rath
er strange that in a land where there
are so many praiiie chickens that there
should be such a great number of people
who could not recognize the birds. Mr.
Stephens is one of our up to-date busi
ness men and we may look for other uni
que displays by him.
Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Peters enter
tained a number of their friends last

Disturbance at the Revival Services.
During the revival services at the
Christian church the speaker and the
audience have been bothered considera
bly by adisturbance caused, by a number
of young boys who congregate at the
outside door and by loud talking and
various noises make their absence greatly
desired by those inside the building.
Last night several prominent members
of the church notified Officer Connelly,
who came promptly on the scene and
took three of the youths to the city jail.
where they remained for several hours.
It is probably thoughtlessness on the
part of the boys that cansed them to get
into trouble of this kind, but such
thoughtlessness often leads to trouble of
greater seriousness. The statute is very
explicit uKn the subject) of disturbing
religious meetings and section 1SS3 of
Hill's code says:
If any person shall wilfully disturb,
interrupt or ,disqniet any assembly or
congregation of people met for religious
worship, whether in the bouse or in the
open air bv making an xxn-
necessary noise, within the place where
such meeting is held, or so near it as to
disturb the order or solemnity thereot,
such person, . upon conviction
thereof shall be punished by imprison
inent in the county jail not less than one
month nor more than six months, or by a
fine not less than $10 nor more than 20U
It is probable the boys did not willfully
disturb the meeting, but the result was
just as unpleasant, whether done in ten
tionally or not. It is to be hoped there
will be no further occasion for comment
in this matter and the revival meetings
be undisturbed. If otherwise, The
Chbonicle is informed that a complaint
will be entered and the disturbers
brought to trial.
Found Not Guilty.

The trial of the state of Washington vs
E. C. Smith. J. Smith, James Bunnell,
John Bunnell, Albert West and James
Canfield, charged with an assault upon
F. A. Seufurt, came to a conclusion last
night by the jury returning a verdict of
not guilty. The case was tried before
Justice J. T. Rorick of Grand Dalles and
a jury composed of William Brune, Peter
Agidius, V. T. Cook, J. C. Barker, Wil
liam Wilkinson and Mr. Pitman. A. S.
Bennett and W. B. Presby appeared for
the prosecution, and N. B.Brooks and
Hnntington & Wilson represented the
six defendants. The case was drawn to
a weary length, and more time was tak
en up in argument of disputed law
points and theadmissability of evidence
than in the testimony itself. The pro
secution sought to prove that an as
sault bad been committed upon Mr.
Seufert, while in the enjoyment of his
legal rights. The defence claimed that
the defendants had as much right to
fish at this point as did Mr. Seufert,
and whatever the defendants had done
was necessary to protect their property.
At the close of the arguments the jury
brought iii a verdict of not guilty, and
the acctiM-d men were discharged. There
were originally eight men arrested, but
one of theiu II. F. Smith, was discharg
ed at a previous examination and. W.
Aiken bound over to the superior court.
Grand Dalles has had the honor of being
a legal battle ground instead of furnish

Our Water Works.
by people allowing the pipes to remain
open when there was no use for it. On
August 1st ten metres had been put in,
eince which time the number was in
creased to twelve. The success has been
greater than the most sanguine anticipa
ted. The wastage has stopped to such
an extent that the reservoir is full and
has been ever since the placing of the
metres. The high pressure has been
used continuously, which condition
never was possible to exist during pre
vious summers. Mr. Norman estimates
that the people wasted as much water
as the amount necessary for use. More
meters have been ordered. The rate
charged for water is now as follows:
From 1000 to 25,000 gallons, 30 cents per
month ; from 25,000 to 50,000 gallons, 25
cts per month; fiom 50,000 to. 100,000
gallons, 20 cts per month ; from 100,000
to 200,000 gallons, 12 cts per month ;
over 200,000 gallons, 10 cts per month.
As compared with the rate charged in
Portland, our rate is cheaper on amounts
over 100,000 gallons. In Portland the
charge on such amounts is 15 cts for
each 1000 gallons, while in The Dalles
the rates are 12 and 10 cts per thous
and gallons. The change will be a wel
come one to citizens who are interested
in seeing the efficiency of the water
works increased. We have a good sys
tem, wisely managed by an able com
mission and efficient superintendent.
There can be no doubt but that Mr.
Norman is the right man in the right
place.
Sewall Williams Nuptial.
On the evening of Wednesday, Oct.
2d, at the residence of the bride's mo
ther, Mrs. A. M. Williams, No. 53 Ella
St., in Portland, Or., Miss Maie Evtlyn
Williams, formerly of The Dalles, and
Russell E. Sewall, the very efficient
depnty city attorney of Portland, were
united in inarrlage. At precisely 8 :30
o'clock, Lohengrin's beautiful wedding
march was struck np by the orchestra,
and the bride, accompanied by her bro
ther, Mr. Ed. M. Williams, and pre
ceded by her bridesmaid, Miss Virginia
Marden, entered the west drawing-room,
where they were met by the groom and
his best man, Mr. Guy G. Willis, and
there, ander a bower of white roses, the
two were made man and wife.
The bride was an emblem of loveli
ness in a gown ot white moire covered
with white organdie trimmed with val-'
enciennes lace, and carrying a oouquet
of white carnations and maiden-hair
fern, and the bridesmaid presented a
most charming picture in a dress of pink
silk and carrying pink carnations.
The parlors and hall were elaborately j
decorated with antumn leaves. Mi:ilax I
and fern, and the dining-room was par
ticnlarly beautiful with its large, square
table loaded with carnations and roses,
and broad streamers of pale pink ribbon
banging from the chandelier to its four
corners.
The presents which were beautiful
and costly were fitting emblems of nu
merous friends, and were displayed in
the music room, in company with the
dainty decorations of sweet peas.
Supper was served at 10 o'clock, when
Miss Marden distinguished herself by
getting the piece of cake wherein was
contained tho prophetic ring, and Mr.
Williams was favored by fate to the ex
tent of finding in the piece of cake he
selected, the coin which marked him aa
"next" in the martrimonial market.
After the refreshments, amid a gen
eral hand shaking and the congratula
tions of loving relations and friends, the
young couple took their departure for
the Sound, where they will spend a
couple of weeks. They will be at home
to their friends Thnrsdays in November.

A Winter Lecture Course.
To The Editor: The attention of
the people of The Dalles is respectfully
invited to consider a movement to in
augurate a course of lectures, where the
people niav have a place to spend some
of the winter evenings, both profitably
and pleasantly. Our people are intel
lectual, progressive and prosperous.
We have good schools, excellent churches
and numerous fraternal aud other or
ganizations designed to promote social
and literary culture. To supplement
and extend the influences of these good
things, it is proposed to try to get six,
eight or ten persona of learning and
ability to give us an evening on their
different subjects, of interest to thinkers
and investigation, and also to those who
are lovers of good literature.
It is hoped that the community will
give this effort their earnest and united
support and that the necessary aid may
be secured. Every publicspirited per
son will be given an opportunity to help
in this movement, as it can only result
in good to all who attend.
