Mr.-Pague prophesies the weather for
tomorrow to be fair followed bv rain or
enow.
The divorce suit of Glenn vs Glenn
was referred to D. H. Roberta to take
testimony and report.
I A gentle rain has been falling all
' afternoon and its merry patter will be
a welcome sound. . Long may it continue,
is the general wish.
A bond for a deed from W. G. Clelland
to S. L. Young, was filed with the county
clerk, also a warranty deed from J. .S.
Taylor to G. W. Eunyan.
Frank Summers who has been con
fined to his bed for over a month is con
siderably better and yesterday was able
to sit up the greater part of the day
A new rudder for the Regulator has
just been finished in Mr. Glenn's ehop
and will be placed on board the boat
this evening. An extra one is always
carried so in case one of the rudders
should be injured it could be replaced.
The Knights of the Maccabees will
hold their regular meeting next Satur
day evening instead of Friday as
formerly. The change is made through
an arrangement with the whist club,
who will occupy Fraternity hall on Fri
day evenings.
The Regulator took away her custo n
ary load of 500 sacks of wheat this
morning. Another large shipment will
be made tomorrowJaa drays have been
busy taking wheat from Moody's ware
house to the boat dock.
The case of the State vs. F. W. L. I
Skibbe and Alex. Hugenine came to a
conclusion last evening by Justice Davis
discharging the defendants. The de
fense introduced some witnesses to show
that the plaintiff had begun the disturb
ance and the justice decided that the
evidence was not strong enough against
the defendants to justify their being
held.
The teachers' examination began this
afternoon in the countv court room. Six
young ladies are present as applicants
and this afternoon are working their
brains answering the test questions,
The examination is being conducted by
Superintendent Shelly assisted by Prof.
Neff of Hood River and Miss Lang.
The ordeal will be over Friday and the
applicants will shortly after know their
fate.
Yesterday afternoon the case of Wil
Iiams & Co. vs. A. A. Urquhart and
Anna Urquhart came to a speedy , con
elusion. When the evidence of the
plaintiff was in the attorney for the de
fendant. Mrs. Urquhart. moved for a
non-suit, on the ground that the com
plaint did not allege tbat the defendants
were husband and wife. Judge Brad
shaw granted the motion and the caee
was dismissed.
The grand jury made two reports this
afternoon just as we went to press. One
was a"not true bill" in the case of R. A.
Power, charged with assault with a dan
gerous weapon. This is the outcome of
the shooting case at Hosier last summer.
The other report was a true bill against
Dr. Julius Rothermel, charging him
with embezzlement. Just before they
reported the grand jury came in and
asked for further instructions a? to the
number of votes neceseary to find an in
dictment. . The good work done on the present
ownership books by J. M. Huntington
and Co., is shown in the increaeed
amount of taxable property this year over
last. Most property which hitherto has
escaped taxation was found and put
upon the roll and the county will be the
gainer not only this year but in the
future. The present ownership books
were undoubtedly a good investment.
With the increased amount of taxable
property shown by Assessor Wakefield's
summary there should be a lighter levy
next year. A oarelul cutting out of all
unnecessary expenditures will be most
acceptable to the taxpay rs. -
Late ytsterday afternoon the grand
jury returned a true bill against H. F.
jacKson, charirm'' imn witn Keeping a
bawdy house at the Cascade Locks. ' A
demurer to the indictment was put in
Dy me aeiendants attorney, out was
overvuled. Jackson then plead not guilty.
, The case was continued until a witness
from Baker City could be obtained.
Jackson has been under bonds since last
summer when he was bound over to the
grand jury by Justice Birnie, . at the
Locks. Recently his bondsmen becom
ing apprehensive sent an officer to Walla
Walla after him.
White Salmon has furnished some ex
citement in the arrest of J. P. Egan, P.
T. Bradford and Mr. Ziegler for cutting
the fence of C. D. Moore. The three de
fendants passed through The Dalles this
morning on their way to Goldendale to
be arraigned', it is not thought the
matter is very serious, as Mr, Egan, Mr.
Brad ford ' and . Mr. Ziegler are too ' good
citisena tp'; do 'any intentional wrong.
MrgaSiS, the1 justice of ,; the piece "at'
White Salmon and Mr. Bradford the
constable. All the gentlemen, including
Mr. Moore, live on the bottom land be
tween White Salmon and Rankin's
landing. .
Mr. Thomas A. Ward left on the Regu
lator this morning for San Diago, Cali
fornia where he will remain till next
Anril. Mr. Ward has not been in the
best of health for some time and bis
physician has ordered a change of clim
ate. . Mr. Ward was accompanied by his
wife and daughter. Tom, as he is faniil
iarlv known, is an old time resident of
Wasco county and drove stage in the
days when stage driving was an art. His
friends hope tne soft .air of California
will bring him the coveted restoration of
health.
Klickitat county is. keeping well up
with the march of progress. The latest
venture is ' tobacco culture. Thomas
Jenkins, a well known farmer of the
Klickitat valley , brought to The Dalles
some tobacco which was grown on his
place and bad it made into cigars by the
factory in this place. The tobacco is
healthy looking and good judges, who
have tried some of it, pronounce the
flavor excellent.. Mr. Jenkins is going
to increase his acreage of tobacco. The
soil of Klickitat is fertile enough to grow
almost anything and experiments prove
that when the farmers conclude to
diversify their crops they will find other
things grow as well as wheat.
Thursday's Dally
There are now six inmates ' of the
the county jail, but the number will be
materially reduced within a few days.
Mr. George A. Liebe of The Dalle's has

trict, will preach the sermon. Everyone

ment, secured bondsmen last night and
was released from jail. The bond was
placed at $500 with August Buchler,
George A. Liebe and C. G. Roberts as
bondsmen.
The rain has been slow in coming, but
it has been all the more welcome. The
showers of yesterday and today have
soaked the ground for quite a distance
and the promise for more rain is good
The farmers will yet have cause to ob
serve Thanksgiving.
The members of the Young People's
Society of the Christian church are busy
planninfi for the Merchant's Carnival

Work on the Rattlesnake road has
commenced and the commissioners,
through their chairman, S. B. Adams,
have issued a call to all those who have
promised labor to report at the head of
the grade. The commissioners intend to
push the work vigorously and before
long the grading will be well under way.
The revival services at the Methodist
church are attracting much attention.
Meetings conducted by the pastor, Rev.
J. H. Wood, assisted by Miss Laura
Pippett, are held every evening and the
results are proving very satisfactory.
Large crowds fill the church every even
ing and pay close attention to the words
of the speakers. The meetings will con
tinue for some time.
Passenger business has been quiet
both by boat and rail for the last
few days. During the days when the
exposition was in full blast the travel
was very heavy and most of those who
had business in Portland took advan
tage of the exposition rates and the fine
weather. November is generally a quiet
month in the transportation business.
Freight traffic on the Regulator and
Dalles City c mtinuea very good.
The athletic club will finish its lessons
this week. The members have enjoyed
the course under Prof. Christol and have
made marked improvement. Regret is
expressed that the professor has to leave
so soon to meet his engagement in Port
land, as there are many who would like
to keep on with lessons under his in
struction. It is more than likely an
athletic class will be formed from the
members of the class and outsiders who
may wish to join.
Despite the very inclement weather
which prevailed at the Locks yesterday,
the laboring force kept at work. The
men are congregated at the upper and
lower ends of the canal at which places
most of the work is being done. Ai the
, Harry, the Chinaman" who is in
county jail, awaiting trial for the murder
committed last summer, took a notion
be didn't want to eat and for five days
tasted no food. The last day or two he
came around to coffee and bread, but
persistently refused a uiore strengthening
diet. He is showing the effects of his
abstinence and confinement and looks
pale and wan. Just why he dislikes to
eat is not known bnt some facetious wag
has said that the Chinaman was dieting
himself so that in case the jury should
bring in a verdict of guilty, he would
not be heavy enough to mate the rope
taut and consequently escape strangu
lation. But. that is rather a ghastly joke,
A business man of The Dalles, who
lately returned from Tacoma, said the
"City of Destiny" shows the result of
overbqoming in a lamentable degree.
Blocks of elegant buildings are standing
tenantless and "for rent" and "for sale"
signs are too frequently seen. ' Tacom
grew faster than its resources justified
and its present condition is one that
could have been foreseen had cooler
judgment prevailed. The future is not
at all hopeless, however, for when things
are reorganized on their proper basis the
city will progress at a satisfactory pace.
It seems, though, that Tacomans must
be content to acknowledgo that Seattle
has passed them in the race, and instead
of striving to be the metropolis of Wash
ington must work to maintain second
place. And even then the city will have
a ustyrival in Spokane.
Rev. S. G. Irvine, the pioneer of 1851,
who died in Albany, Or., Oct. 31st, was
for forty years the pastor of the United
Presbyterian church at Albany. ' He
had preached over 4000 sermons to the
members of bis congregation. Dr,
Irvine was a man of more than ordinary
ability and ranked as one of the most
prominent divines of the state. In 1854
fortv-o'ne years ago, lie performed the
marriage ceremony o Joseph G. Wilson
and Elizabeth Millar. Mr. Wilson died
in 1873, while a representative in con
gress from Oregon, while the bride of
forty years ago is still a resident of The
Dalles. Dr. Irvine eucceeded - Rev.
James P. Millar, the father of Mrs.
Wilson, as the pastor of the Albany
church. Rev. Mr. Millar was killed by
the explosion of the steamer Gazelle at
Oregon City in 1854.

regular meeting last evening. All the
members of the board were present ex
cept Mr. Mays, who is out of the city.

satisfactory and showed that a large
volume of business had been done.
Only routine matters were gone through

Workmen go down to the Cascades to
morrow to make some alterations in the
portage incline at the lower end of the
locks. The bulkhead is now sufficiently
cleared out so that the dredge can go to
work. This necessitates tbat a portion
of the incline be changed. The job
will not be a very lengthy one. The
management of the boat lines and the

to the welfare of both
The parade of public school scholars
was witnessed by a large crowd this
afternoon. There were 600 students
line but as they marched along the side'
walk it seemed as theugh the number
was an under-estimate. It was a good
opportunity to get an idea of the size of
the attendance in our public schools
The exercises are being held in the
Armory, but they will not be through in
time for this afternoon's paper. A full
report will be given tomorrow. The
Armory contains a vast crowd who are
much interested in the program.
Tlie Borne Dramatic Club
The members of the Home Dramatic
Club are busily engaged practicing for
the comedy "A Night Off," which will
be produced in the near future. The
piece is an extiemely funny one in the
opinion of some who have heard it more
laughable than the "Arabian Nights,'
which the Dramatic Club recently pro
duced with the aid of Miss Tittell. Two
rehearsals have already been held this
week and another one will occur Friday
night. The Dramatic Club will produce
the piece without any outside aid. but it
is believed the performance will be one
that will please all who witness it. Fol
lowing is the cast.

Dr. Shores Medical Co. In Oregon City.
The following regarding the Dr. Shores
Medical company will be of interest to
their many friends in The Dalles. . It is
taken from tbe Oregon City notes in
yesterday's Oregonian.
"The 'doctors disagreed and there were
two kind." of trouble today in the "Dr.
Shores Medicine Company,' an itiner
ant medico-theatrical organization that
has been holding forth at Shively's
theater for tbe past week. The trouble
began when Dr. D. S. M. Fretwell, the
manager, called Dr. Swain to account
for practicing the art of "mashing." Be
fore the interview had closed, the man
ager had discharged Swain and Swain bad
given the manager a black eye, for which
offense Justice Dixon this afternoon sent
him to jail for ten days in default of $20
fine. Immediately after the close of this
trial, Dr. W. E. Carll made complaint
Tomorrow will occur the presentation

Tbe program which is published below
is a very interesting one and the exer

a large audience. The exercises will be
held in the Armory at 2 p. m. tomorrow
