Saturday s Dally The project of a free ferry ia being agitated among some of our citizens. A marriage license was granted today to Adolpb Everding and Miss Ora Os barn. The weather forecast for tomorrow savs fair and warmer. We would like to eay followed by rain. Circuit court begins next week at Prineville. The attendance of The Dal len attorneys this term will be small. At the meeting of the Knights of Maccabees held last evening, three can didates were elected to membership. The order is in a very flourishing con dition. The Regulator will begin Monday the taking of a band of sheep,, numbering 2000, from Lyle. They go to Troutdale, and will fill the lower deck of the boat for several days. The Degree of Honor will give a public social at Fraternity hall, Oct. 30th. A good program will be rendered, followed by a social dance. A small admission fee will be charged. Miss Hall received the ead intelligence of the death of her father, which occurred yesterday in Tauoma. As a consequence there will be no kinder garten exercises held next week. Eld. C. P. Baily will preach at the M. . church Sabbath morning at 11, and Eld. Shearman will preach at night, at 7 :30. Both these gentlemen are mem bers of the Baptist convention. Sunday school at 12:20; Epworth League at 6:30. The carpenters are putting on the roof of the new warehouse which the D. P. Ak. N. Co. is building, and soon a half the structure will be under caver" and ready to receive shipments of grain. The warehouse is mammoth in appear ance. The two new col tages of Mr. S. Wil- kerson at the head of Washington street are nearing completion and present a very tasty appearance. Tbey will great ly add to the good looks of the neighbor- ood and will prove a good .investment to the owner. Commencing next Monday the Regu lator will leave The Dalles at 7 a. m., in stead of 8, a9 at present. The increase In way-business of the steamer has made it necessary to leave at the earlier hour. The departing time from Portland of the Dalles City remains unchanged, at 7 o'clock. H. H. Biddell, of this city was elec ted one of the vice presidents of the Ore gon Bar Association at the meeting in Portland yesterday. A vice president is elected for each judicial district and Mr. Riddell waB honored by being chosen to represent the Seventh judicial district among the vice presidents. The Davenport Bros, of Hood River, have purchased from J. T. Peters & Co. the saw mill situated four miles this aide of Cascade, and known as the Ca tea mill. The plant will be moved to a lo cation near Hood River, from where the Oregon Lumber Co. have recently moved their mill. Two car loads con- raining portions of the mill have arrived and teams are occuoied in taking the material to the head ot the flume. The capacity of the mill is expected to be an output ot ou.uuu leet ot lumber psr day. There is a wheat war raging at Rock- and. Since the completion of the new dock by the boat company rival wheat buyers are on the ground endeavoring to secure the bulk of the grain from Klick- tat caunty. We understand the price reached as high as 42 cents. The Klick- tat county farmer will reap the benefit from the warring of the wheat buyers. The rise in prices in Rockland did not affect the market on this side of the river, where wheat is selling at the same figure. . new time card goes into effect to morrow on the O. Li. & IS. The train from the east will arrive at 4 a. m. and leave at 4 :05. The Portland train will reach here at 12:45 a, in. and leave at 12:50. The local from Portland will arrive at 11 :50 and leave at 1 :10, thirty- Jfive minutes earlier than now. The IHeppiier trains will connect with the blight trains at all limes except Monday. Parties who wish to go to Ileppner hould not take the day train as now, but should go on the regular passenger train. Complaints about the roads leading bast of town are heard daily from par ties who have driven over them. Mr. Jacobsen came in this morning from week spent in different portions of Hherman county and says the worst road he saw in his travels wan tha nnv. Lion for a distance of five miles from town. The wheat teamsters are loudly condemning the roads near town. If The Dalles had a board of trade the matter could be ptoperly considered, but as it is, the old adage is applicable, "What's everybody's business is no bodv'a business." Monday's Daily. The wheat is commencing to pile up on the dock at Rockland. The chance of time on the railroad will be pleasing to the travelling public Mava & Crowe have lust received a large consignment of Hickory wagons, which they claim are the best on earth The Regulator began this morning leaving at 7 o'clock. It will take the people several days to get accustomed to the change. Mre. Hannah Fleming was examined late Saturday afternoon as to her Banity and being adjudged insane was taken to Salem yesterday. The merry-go-round, which has been the chief attraction for the children of the city during the past two weeks, was loaded aboard the cars this morning and taken to some other town. The members of the hose team, which participated in the Vancouver tourna ment, had their pictures taken yesterday morning by Herrin. The boys will prize the momentoes highly. The cause of the water being so muddy is a break in the flume some distance up Mill creek. The damage has been're paired, and there will no longer be an excuse for drinking anything else in place of water. An excursion will be given to the locks next Sunday under the auspices of the Orchestra Union. The brass band will be in attendance. It would be well to secure tickets early, as only a limited number can be sold. The play Saturday night was not wit nessed by so large a crowd as on the previous evening, though the perform ance was said to be more mentorlus This week the Baldwin will be occupied by a medicine show. A large number of delegates to the Baptist convention, which closed its ses sion in the Dalles yesterday, were pas seogers on the boat this morning. The ministers expressed themselves delighted with the scenery which they viewed on the up trip. In a letter from Phoenix, Ariz., to the editor, Mr. C. W. Rice states that he met Mr. Ben. McAtee, who so myster iously disappeared from his home in Wasco county over a year ago. At the time a search was made for the missing man, but it was fruitless and we believe this is the first tiding which has been re ceived concerning him, or at least the firet made public. Two of the players belonging to the Carlton Comedy Company left the troupe at this pla"ce, refusing to go farther, it is said, until their salaries were paid. They were prominent in the cast and the company reluctantly went off without them. Dr. J. M. Kane of Dufur was a pas senger on the evening tram from Port land. While in that city he visited Dave Hixs, who went down three weeks ago to St. Vincent's hospital for an oper ation to b6 performed on his knee. Under the treatment of Dr. A. C. Smith he is improving and hopes are now held out of saving the limb. His friends trust the operation will be entirely suc cessful and Mr. Hixs will soon be re- urned cured. The Baptist convention ended its sea sion yesterday, after a most successful and harmonious session. Over $400 for mission work was raised Saturday among the delegates present. The Dalles was unanimously chosen as the place of meeting next year. The delegates ex pressed themselves as greatly pleased with the hospitality shown them by the citizens of The Dalles and will be glad to come again next year. The reports from the borne field showed a gratifying in crease in the number and strength of the churches. Most of the delegates have departed for their various homes. Arrangements are now complete for The Dalles to have an exhibition of thoroughbred poultry. Prof. Garrison goes below tomorrow, but will return on Tuesday of next week, bringing with him about 300 of the choicest fowls iu the state, which will be placed on ex hibition in the old Chronicle building, to remain for four days. This exhibit will consist of a full line of fine poultry, also a nice display of fancy pigeons, golden, silver and Mongolian pheasants, as well as various kinds of other pet stock. There are numerous local fanciers who have fine birds and these will also "be added to the collections. More ex tended notice will be given when the birds arrive. The city ia doing a good thing, which will meet with general approval from the business men and farmers of the community. Through the co operation of the water commission and the city council a water trough is being put in at the corner of Laughlin and Second streets. The city furnished the pipe and the lumber, the water commission provided for the laying of the pipe and donates the water, while a gang of hobos under the direction of Marshal Blakeney made the excavation. The trough will be a large one, capable of watering all the horses that wish to quench their thirst and has been an institution long deeded in this city. Tuesdays Doily. A slight frost was visible this morning. Lost A bundle containing a pair of pants. Please return to this office. Get ready to go on the excursion to the locks next Sunday. The tickets are selling rapidly. The Chautauqua class meets thi evening at the residence of Mrs. D. M, French. All members are requested to be present. Three carloads of hogs are at the stock yards 'awaiting shipment to Seattle. They were bought by John Parrott for a Seattle concern, the price paid being 3 cents a pound. The police court was bereft of occu pants this morning. The fair seems to have taken all the excessive spirits from out our population, and the marshal and nigbtwatchmen find little to amuse them. A private letter received in The Dalles save that R. E. Saltinarshe and W. H Moody, who have been journeying in European countries, left Liverpool on October 17th for home. - They are ex pected to come straight through without much delay. Mr. R. McNeil, foreman in the car penter shop of H. Glenn, has invented a step ladder which is very ingeniously constructed. ,The ladder is a double one and so built that it will stand on any ground sloping, steep or level. Mr. Mc Neil intends taking out a patent on bis contrivance. The pile driver has made rapid work of the new incline leading to the rail road coal bunkers and the job will be probably finished today or tomorrow. The incline is so constructed that it will be easy to extend it to the old landing of the company boat?, should it ever be deemed desirable. The Taine class met last evening with Mrs. C. E. Dunham and enjoyed pleasant evening perusing the work of John Stuart Mill. As last evening made three lessons on Jlill, the ciass will take up the study of Tennyson next Monday night. The interest taken in the. l'aine class by its members is very great. The Regulator has all it can possibly attend to this week. The steamer left The Dalles today with a large consign ment of flour crowded in as small a space as possible to make room for 500 sheep, which were to be taken on at Lyle. In spite of the amount of business daily be ing done, both the Dalles City and Reg ulator arrive at their respective destina tions on schedule time. Thosn who attended the late races will remember Steamboat Bill, who sur prised nearly everyone by beating the best quarter horses in Oregon. J. L. VanWinkle, the owner, it is said, has just refused a $1000 offer for the animal. Steamboat Bill is a Sherman county horse, and at one time sold for as low as $2.50. His rise to fame and fortune was as sudden as it is satisfactory to its owner. There is a cessation in the amount of wheat arriving in town and today the streets do not bear the accustomed crowded appearance. The bulk of the wheat which must be sold to meet press ing bills has already been brought in and the remainder is being held for a possible rise in price. The market con tinues the same here, 41 cents being paid for No. 1 club. A good deal of grain is being purchased on the other side of the river. The nights are getting decidedly cool and it begins to look as if the Indian summer must be numbered among the things soon to go. The fall has been re markable for its beauty of weather and lack of rain. Possibly Observer Pague has been so busy attending to his duties as chairman of the committee on county exhibits in the Portland exposition that he hasn't had time to manipulate the rain strings in the Oregonian tower. The old saying is that after three frosts comes rain. The farmers and stock growers are willing just now to sacrifice some weather for rain. The show given by the medicine com pany at the opera house last night was witnessed by a very large audience. This was because It was free. A great part of the evening, was taken up in a speech dilating npon the virtues of cer tain medicines. The speech was good. Following the sales of medicine came a show in which some jokes decidedly broad were evolved by the comedians. The singing by one of the gentlemen and performance of the contortionist were good, but unless the wit shall be of a higher order tonight than it was last night, it can not be commended. Captain Wm. Whitcomb, of the gov.- ernment steamer Cascades and Captain Wes Whitcomb, of the Ocean Wave, came up on the Regulator yesterday, as the guests of Capt. Waud. These gentle men are old time steamboat men, Capt. Wm. Whitcomb at one time being on the Hassalo tweive years when it plied on the mid-Columbia between The Dalles and Cascades. This steamer was after wards taken over the rapids at Cascades and later on went over to the Puget sound and for several years did hard service. Three years ago the Hassalo was brought back to the Columbia river and can now be seen among the steamers plying in and out of Portland. A epecial car was attached to the noon train today containing officials of the Western Union Telegraph Co. In the party were Superintendent Frank Jay ces, Superintendent of Construction D. R. Davies, Chief Clerk I. N. Miller, jr., all of San Francisco and Manager Wm. Duniars, of the Portland office. The last named gentleman returned on No. too ay, nut tne otners continued on a tour of inspection, which will extend over the Pacific coast and portions of British Columbia. .The new telegraph line from Portland to Huntington, which has just been completed, will be one of the objects to be viewed. The funeral of the late J. H. Hall, fnther of Mies Alice Hall of this city, took place in Tacoma yesterday. Mr. Hall was one of the best known citizens in Tacoma, coming to that city in 1880. He was born in New York City May 4, 1837, and entered Columbia College at the age of 16. He was afterward gradu ated at Oberlin college, in which insti tuted he was a tutor. In 1869 Mr. Hail was chosen president of the University of Washington at Seattle, which posi tion he filled for several years, with great credit to himself and good to the institution. He was for a time in charge of the city schools of Tacoma, but retired to enter real estate purenits. Mr. Hall was known aH one of Tacoma's most progressive citizens, always ready with his money and his work to assist in any public enterprise. The race mare Mamie S, which was one of the fleet animals at the late fair, is just now the subject of some lively litigation in the justice and circuit courts. Several days ago Constable Urqu- bart attached Mamie S, as being the property of T. J. Strickland, who was defendant in a suit brought by August Buchler. A filly was also taken in charge by the constable. At this point in the proceedings Mrs. Strickland set up a claim that the animals taken be longed to her. This morning a judge ment for default was taken in Justice Davis' court in the case of Buchler vs. Strickland, but the decree by no means ends the. trouble. Mrs. Strickland, through her attorneys, Story & Gates, now brings a damage suit against Mr. Buchler and. Mr. Urquhart, claiming $3000 as the amount due her. The papers were filed Saturday with the county clerk and unless settled out of court, the case will be tried at the Nov ember term. Mamie S was to have been taken to Heppner for entry in the races there, but this trouble has pre vented. Dufur & Menefee appear as at torneys for Mr. Buchler. The Meeting of Baptists. At the afternoon session of the Baptist church yesterday the greater part of the time was spent in discussing the secur ing of membership in the Southern Baptist convention. In the board meet ing a motion to apply for admission passed by a vote of 9 to 3, which action the convention sanctioned by a yote of 28 to 8. At 6:30 devotional exercises were conducted bv Rev. J. E. Chenault of Cove. At 7 :30 an interesting sermon was preached bv Rev. J. T. Moore of Mitchell, from Matt. xxvii:22, "What Shall I Do with thia Jesus Whom You Call Christ?" Thia morning began with devotional exercises led by Eider Mansfield. The business session began at 9:30 with the reports of the committees on home missions, on Sunday schools and on the revision of the constitution. The debate on this latter report occupied several hours and discussion was still in progress at the time of going to press. The convention will close its labors to night, though the members will remain in the city over tomorrow. Following is the list of delegates in attendance at the convention : Prinelle C P Baily, A Zell, Mrs N E-Zell, Mrs M J Baily. Moro H Neece, Mrs J B Mowery. Perrydale (near Salem) G W Pew therer.

There are so many accidents to live stock whicn cause delay and loss to the farmer in his work. In a large number of Instances the delay would be but trifling if a remedy was promptly applied. Dr. J. H. McLean's Volcanic Oil Lini ment has for many years been regarded as the farmer's friend. Its healing on flesh of domestic animals is immediate and permanent. Price 25c, 50c and $1.00 per bottle.

The play was well received by those who wit nessed it, though the applause was not as generous as at times the merit of the acting called for. The part of "Hazel Kirke," was taken by Miss Florence Ear, a young lady of prepossessing ap pearance and good ability as an actress. Eugene Kay as "Dunston Kirk," the blind old lather, who carried his pred- judices to the end, sustained the char acter well, and proved to be one of ti e best in the cast. "Piticus Greene," the comedian of the play, was represent ed by Jed Carlton, who showed himself possessed of the power to make fun and draw laughter from the audience. Stan ly Ross as "ArthurCarringford" fulfilled the character he was impersonating in a very satisfactory manner. The play was one requiring difficult acting and the company acquitted themselves well. The orchestra was preeent in full force and by their playing took away the tedi ouaness of waiting between the acts. Tonight the laughter making comedy "Complications," will be presented for the first time in this city. They Like The Dalles. From all sections of Eastern Oregon come satisfactory reports of The Dalles as a trading market given by those who have made long journeys to dispose of their products in this city. The Dalles has received the trade this year of territory which formerly sought the railroad at other places but which because of the higher prices paid in The Dalles markets owing to competition among buyers, now comes to this citv. Next year, pro vided good highways of travel are main tained, the commercial importance of The Dalles will be still farther increased., The following item from the Fossil Journal is a case in point : Napoleon B. Hastain nnd Wm. Keys returned from The Dalles Wednesday, after delivering about 80 head of cattle there for the Union Meat Co., purchased from them and others in this section. They were well pleased with the prices they obtained, having gained about $1.50 per bead by taking the cattle to Garland Stoves are the World's Best. We respectfully invite all those in need of a cook - or heating stove or steel range to call and examine our new line and get our. prices. We have a very large assortment to select from, we can give you splendid bargains this year, and will guarantee to save you money, simply because we are satisfied with small profits.

Special inducement to cash buyers MAIER & BENTON, HARDWARE DEALERS and PLUMBERS, Next door to Snipes-Kinersly Drug CS, A. Bettingen's old stand, Second street. The Dalles. They sold by weight and the cows brought about $17.50 and the two-year-old steers a trifle over $25. One cow belonging to Ed. Putnam brought over $20. Napoleon says The Dalies is lively, with lots of wheat com ing in, the price paid for which last Sat urday was 40 cents. Fire at Hiuemasliu. Mr. G. N. Moody arrived in The Dalles from Sinemasho at midnight, bringing news that fire had completely destroyed three of the large buildings belonging to the Indian school at that place. Yes terday morning at 10 o'clock, the fire broke out in the washroom and soon the building was a mass of flames. As the appliancas for fighting fire at the Indian school are primitive, the blaze soon spread to the neighboring buildings, the dormi tory and large school building being de stroyed. Two of the school buildings.the barn and commissary, are left standing and these were saved becauee of their being some distance removed from the, burning structures. The employes lost most of their wearing apparel and per sonal belongings, "while the government loss of furniture and chattels was con siderable. One of the teaphers came in last night with Mr. Moody, those remak ing stopping for the present with Rev. J. A. Speer, the chaplain of the echool, whose house did not burn. Sinemasho ia situated about twenty miles from the Warm Springs Indian Agency and for several years has been the seat of an Indian echool. Recently, however, an order from the department was given to consolidate this school with the one at the Warm Springs and the transfer waa only waiting till the build ings at Warm Spring should be ready for occupancy. Under these circum stances the damage done at Sinemasho will probably not be repaired. There ia no definite information as to just what started the fire. A Prosperous Term. The Antelope Herald has the following to eay of an estimable Dalles young lady : We erred week before last in stating that Miss Evelvn Newman was teaching a private echool at H. C. Rooper'a place, near Kidgeway. A new echool district was created in that section about a year ago, a neat, new school house has been erected not far from Mr. Rooper'a ranch. Next Friday MiBS Newman will finish a 4-montbs' term of public echool in that district (No. 55) after which she will re turn to her home in The Dalles. The echool has enjoyed a very prosperous term. ' "While down in the southwestern part of the etate some time ago." says Mr. W. Chalmers, editor of the Cbico (Cal.) Enterprise, "I had an attack of dysen tery.
