The new play, "A Night Off," which

tions and bright dialogue.

cured. The professor is meeting with

Late last night Z. : P. Jones was
brought to the Umatilla House in a
badly injured condition. . He has been
at work for Mr. Taffe at Celilo and yes
terday was standing upon a board hoist
ing a beam. The boatd slipped and Mr.
Jones was precipitated to the ground, a
distance of seventeen feet. " He alighted
on his back, striking upon solid rock.
He was hurriedly brought to town and
an examination by Dr. Sutherland dis
closed the fact that no bones were
broken, though the injuries are very
severe. - He will at least be confined to
bed for quite a time.
The stereoptican views at the court
house were not witnessed by a very large
crowd last night. There had been
misunderstanding in the date which ac
counted in some measure for the small
attendance. - The views were scenes
from OiegOD, showing different pool
buildings in Portland and Oregon cities
with pictures of the Willamette falls, the
great electrical stations, the Oregon City
locks, with a steamboat passing through
them. The fruit lands of the Willamette
vallev were also pictured as were the
notable objects of scenic interest alon
the Columbia, such as Multnomah falls
the Needles, Rooster Rock and the like.
Mr. Goetzraan left last night for Pendle
ton and after stopping there and
Baker Bity will go on East. It is to be
regretted that some views of The Dalles
and Eastern Oregon do not accompany
Mr. Goetman. We do not want the
people of the Eastern states to think
that the Willamette valley, great as it is,
includes all of Oregon. The pictures
last night were much enjoyed by those
who were present.
The place where the steam shovel is
working at Mosier must be especially
dangerous. This morning a special
train came to The Dalles bringing
William Eastman, whose leg was broken
and badly lacerated. This morning h
was at work digging when suddenly the
bank began to cave and before be could
get further away than ten feet the sand
and gravel was upon him. He was
thrown across the iron rail of the track
and sustained a compound fracture of
the right leg. Dr. Logan was called and
set the limb and dressed it. The in
jured man was taken to Portland on the
afternoon train, where he will go into
the hospital. The flesh is so torn that
it may be necessary to amputate the leg,
This makes the second accident at the
same place this week, the other being
Karl Barkentine, who was killed Tues
dav. Mr. Eastman had a close call for
had he been a few steps nearer the bank
he would have suffered the same fate as
did his comrade Tuesday.
Sheriff Driver arrived in town this
morning at 4 o'clock from Wapinitia
bringing with him Ed. Barker, who
charged with selling some sheep belong'
ing to Solomon Houser of Tygh Valley
and neglecting to account for the pro
ceeds. Some time ago Barker and Win
Scott were entrusted with the care of
Mr. Houser's sheep and were instructed
to drive them from Ttoutdale over the
Barlow road. They were told to sell
what number they could. According to
Mr. Houser over 80 sheep were sold and
the money not turned in. Mr. Barker
who has been a confidential manager for
Mr. Houser, claims to have bad nothing
to do with the selling of the sheep, but
lays the burden of the charge upon
Scott. Scott has been apprehended in
Pendleton, word having been received
from the sheriff of Umatilla county that
he is there. Deputy sheriff wm. Con
ner. of Multnomah county, came up on
last night's train and will proceed to
Pendleton this evening. He will take
both the men to Portland for examina
tion, as the crime charged is alleged to
have happened in Multuomah county.

with black clouds and the indications

A cough which persists day after day,
should not be neglected any longer. . It
means something more than a mere
local irritation, and the sooner it is re-

to cure.
Don't forget the Tom Thumb wedding
and supper at the Methodist church,
next Monday evening, November 4th.
A large number of invitations have been
sent out, aud this general invitation is
given. Let everybody come, for every

The only permanent cure for chronic
catarrh is to thoroughly expel the poison
from the system by the faithful and per
sistent use of Ayer's Sarsaparilla. This
ondcrful remedy ' proves successful
when all other treatment has failed to
relieve the sufferer.

David Creighton, one of the pioneer
fruit growers of Wasco county, brought
to The Chronicle office this morning, a
Bellflower apple, which measures 14
inches in circumference. It was a
beautiful specimen, we use the past
tense because the apple no longer exists
as an apple, it having been sacrificed to
journalistic appetite. It would have
been a prize winner at the Portland ex
position, but it Buffered an, untimely
fate. There are many other apples that

This morning many an irate citizen is
chasing around through alleys arid back
streets looking for a missing itate. Last
night was Hallowe'en and judging from
the appearance of things this morning
the brownies must have been out in full
force. In some portions of town every
gate is off its hinges, while it wouldn't
be safe for a person on Second street to
judge the character of a business bouse
from the sign displayed upon it. N.
Harris' name appears upon George
Ruth's grocery store, while near the top
of the flag staff on the Dalles Lumbering
Company's building swings a watch
maker's sign and something which has
the resemblance of a pair of exaggerated
bloomers. Hallowe'en and the 1st of
April are the two trying times of the
year, but boys are ever the same and as

Some Itare Poultry.
The poultry show, in the old Chroni
cle building, is now in full blast. The
display is certainly grand, and is count
ed as fine as was ever made in the
state. Those having never visited an
exhibition of this kind, can have but a
faint idea of the perfection attained in
the poultry kingdom, both as to form'
and beanty. The Regulator last even
ing brought up about two hundred
fowls, and more are to come tonight.
In addition to tho entries published
yesterday, the following exhibits were
made today by Dalles people: Joles
Bros., wild geese and peacocks; J. H.
Rigas, Chinese or Mongolian pheasants ;
Liebe, white Bantams; W. C. Barrel!,
block breasted Red Games; E. M.'
Smith, Buff Leghorns. Other entries
will be made this evening and tomorrow
morning.
Many of the coops contain specimens .
of great value. A coop of Langshana
may be seen that are valued at $75. A
coop of magnificent light Brahmas, value
$50. The cock in this coop weighs four
teen pounds and has yet much to grow.
All the other classes are also represent- .
ed by specimens most perfect in form
and color. The crop of Chinese pheas
ants attract great atteution, as these are
the first that have been exhibited on
this side of the Cascades. The fancy
pigeon display is very large and unique. -The
fantails are there in all colors, and
behave in a most pleasing manner. The
carriers are grand birds and nioet at
tractive. The exhibit, as a whole, is indeed
fine, and no one should fail to see it.
unfortunate
Cod-liver oil suggests
consumption, which is al
most unfortunate.
Its best use is before you
fear consumption ; when
you begin to get thin, weak,
run down ; then is the pru
dent time to begin to take
care, and the best way to
take care is to supply the
system with needed fat and
strength. Scott's Emulsion
of cod-liver oil, with hypo
phosphites, will bring back
plumpness to those who
have lost it, and make
strength where raw cod-
liver oil would be a burden.
