On last Thursday evening in Portland,
Rev. T. L. Eiiot joined in marriage, Mr.
Ralph Oswald and Miss Anna Korten.
The bride is well known in The Dalles,
where she. was born and spent early
childhood years. She is the daughter of
the late Ben Korten, a pioneer resident
of Wasco county and at one time its
treasurer.'. Mr. and Mrs. Oswald will be
at home to 'their many friends at 121
Tenth street, on Mondays, The friends
of the young bride in this city will join
in hearty congratulations over the aus
picious event, and wish much happiness
in the future.
Today has. been a good one for runa
ways. This afternoon as the local
started for Portland, a four horso team
from Klickitat was about to cross the
track at the junction of Union and Front
streets, when the horses took fright.
The horses jerked violently around, the
leaders breaking and running, while the
wheels smashed the tongues. The last
seen of cbe leaders they were dashing
up through the Union street cut headed
for Mill Creek.
he first lecture in the winter course
was held, last evening in the Congrega
tional church. A large number of the
best people of ..the city were present to
hear Hon. Thomas N.. Strong sneak
upon. "Municipal. Reform." The lect
urer was introduced by B. S. Honting-
ton. Esa.. and immediately launched
into the midst of his theme. Mr.
Strong is a very attractive speaker.
Cool, impartial and convincing, he ar
ranged his facts in a logical manner.
He is thoroughly imbued with the im
portance of the subject, and soon had
the audience, in perfect sympathy with
him. Mr. Strong spoke mainly of Port
land its misrule and the efforts which
have been made to have the city taken
out of the clutches of the politicians
and run on a business basis. He told of
the committee of one hundred and the
work it had done, and of the present
Municipal League and its labors. Mr.
Strong closed his address with an im
pressive appeal to all patriotic citizens
to take an interest in the government of
our cities, and aaid that the nation can
not prosper , while municipal rule is so
corrupt. The speaker and his address
were well received, and the beginning
of the lecture course is auspicious. The
next lecture will be given December 3,
1895, by Dr. Kaatuer ot Salem. The,
eubject will be "Move On."
A wedding ceremony took place this
morning which was of a rather a unique
character. Justice Davis was called
upon to join in marriage, Miss Chow a
native of the island of Japan, and Mr.
Ching of the Chinese kingdom. When the
justice had pronounced the impressive
words which made them one, congratu
lations were given the happy pair. The
following invited guest were present,
W. H. Lochhead, O. Kinersly and W. C.
Allaway. We were unable to get a list
of the presents, but understand they
were rich and varied. The wedding
took plase at the residence of the groom.
At the last fair meeting, S. B. Adam's
horse was entered' in the great roadster
race, but for some' reason Mr. Adams
and the race steed did not appear on the
track, and the contest was won by Kis
ter, a horse belonging to Lou Wash
bourne of Goldendale. At the time it
was noticed the horse felt very badly at
not having a chance to show his speed,
and ever since has grieved over the lost
opportunity. This morning the animal,
pitched to a driving sulkev, was stand
ing by the Waio warehouse brooding
.over the disappointment, when suddenly
a, notion struck him that there was a
tgood opportunity to show some speed.
So breaking the bitching strap, the horse
turned down Second street and set a pace
imore .noteworthy for steadiness than
-speed. Several heroic attempts , were
.made to stop his wild career, but they
.were. of no avail until the steed had
trotted the length of Second, street, up
Union, to Third, and east on Third to
Court, where the horse fell into the
arms of Marshal Blakeney. After the
record made this morning, it is probable
Kister will be-efclled upon to defend his
.championship.
Thursday's Dolly

A marriage license was issued this

Cronin..
- C. F. Stephens is offering rare bar.

A slight shower was among the inci
dents of the afternoon. What there
was of it was good, but its duration
pioved too short.
The Orchestra Union will be present
at the Baldwin this evening and play
between the acts. The music last eve
ning was greatly enjoyed by the audi
ence, and Manager Howe had some very
complimentary remarks to make about
the music.
Stock shipments are veiy frequent on
the railroad at present. ' Every day sees
cars leave lhe Dalles loaded with hogs
generally for Troutdale. This morn
ing five car-loads- of hogs were shipped
from Saltmarshe's feed yards. Beside
these, three cars of hogs and one of cat
tle came from Heppner, and two cars of
hogs from Weiser, Idaho. They Sail
went to Troutdale.
The Trade's Carnival, which will be
held Friday and Saturday evenings in
the armory, promises to be a very unique
entertainment. Those who will take
part in the parade, are practicing every
day and becoming very proficient in the
marching. Our fifty business houses

very handsome displays. . The programs
for both evenings give promise of de
lightful entertainment. The carnival
will undoubtedly be largely attended
and prove very interesting.

The Rothermel trial is on its third day
and bids fair to last out the week. The
case is one of importance, but is proving
very wearisome because of the slowness
of its progress. The private prosecutor,
August Morsbazh, was upon the stand
all day yesterday and as he is not
familiar with the English language, the
court appointed Mr. E. Jacubeen inter
preter. The reading of letters written
in German and necessitating translation
took up a great portion of the tiiiie. A
little life was instilled into the case this
afternoon during the cross examination
of Dr. Hesse, one of the witnesses for the
prosecution. The doctor proved an in
teresting witness and the spectators
enjoyed several passages of repartee be
tween him and Attorney .Dufur.

its prospects; and expects to do a good
business here.
Mr. A. J. Shruni of Cherry creek, who
is in the city today, says the stockmen
in that vicinity do not want any rain just
now. They are afraid that the eeason

; A fatal accident happened at the Cas
cade Locks yesterday evening about 7 :30
o'clock, Charles Morril, a laborer upon
the works, had been drilling a hole in
the rock, making ready for a blast to be
set off. He began to walk away from
where he bad been working, and had
gone a distance of about fifty feet, when
he stepped into a valve shaft, and fell a
distance df fifty-six feet. He was in
stantly killed. The valve shaft is a
small aperature in the masonry work,
extending from the top of the wall to
the bottom of the canal. Mr. Morril
was aged about" 40 years, and leaves a
famiiv t mourn his sudden death.
Mr. King of the Locks came up on the
night train and purchased a casket, re
turning with it on the morning train.
From the circumstances as related it is
not believed any living person is to
blame for the nnfortunate man's death.
The Grand Jury'a Beport.
Say, why don't you try De Witt's Lit
tle Early liisers? These little pills cure
headache, indigestion and constipation.
They're small, but do the work.
The grand jury finished its labors this
morning and received their discbarge.
Following is the report :
In the circuit court ot the state of Ore
gon for Wasco county :
The matter of the final report of the
grand jury, for the November term, 1895.
We, the grand jury for the November
term of court, 1895, respectfully submit
this, our final report for the term :
We have been in session nine days
and from time to time as matters were
brought before us, have found and re
turned into court twelve "true bills"
and five "not true bills." We have sub
poenaed and examined before ue, ninety
five? witnesses on the various cases.
. We have visited the county poor house
and found the same neatly kept and the
inmates seemed generally satisfied ; the
building is comfortable, but the sleeping
rooms are somewhat overcrowded, and
we would recommend that an addition
be bnilt and made into comfortable bed
rooms. We have visited the various
county offices and found the same in
perfect order and clean. The county
records as far as we were able to judge,
were neatly and correctly kept, and we
congratulate the taxpayers of Wasco
county on having such honest and capa
ble men in charge of the various offices
and the county's finances. We have
visited the county jail and recommend
that as soon as the county finances will
almit, the county court purchase a lot
and erect thereon a good and sufficient
jail, the present one being in our opinion
totally inadequate. We further rec
ommend that the present jail be cal
cimined inside and the water closet be
placed in proper condition.
We would further call the attention of
the court to the fact that certain justices
of the peace in this county seem morn
desirous of making fees than of perform
ing the legitimate duties of their office,
Sometimes frivolous cases ate begun
and the parties bound over to the grand
Jdry, of the parties discharged and the
costs taxed Of to the countv. We find
upon examination of the county court
docket that at the September term of
the county court, the enormous sum of
$1000 was allowed for justice courts
alone, for cases tried during only two
months. We heartily endorse the action
of the county court in disallowing all
bills where in their opinion the charges
made were unnecessary. - We submit
the county treasurer's report, hereunto
attached. -
Having completed our labors we res
pectfully ask to bi discharged.

The Rothermal Case.
Jayne and H. H. Riddell, who appeared
for the. private prosecutor, and sub
mitted to the court last evening. This
morning the' decision was rendered in
favor of the defendant's contention.
The cost of the case has been very
heavy. A great many witnesses testified
for the prosecution and a large number
Summoned for the defense who did not
testify. Some have estimated the cost
of the trial at over $1000, but this prob
ably an over-estimate ; but at any rate
the bill will be large enough.
A Charming Social Event.
A charming party was given by Mrj.
Brooks and Mrs. Garretson Thursday
afternoon at the resdence of Mrs. Brooks,
which was enjoyed by the guests to the
very fullest extent. Fancy work was in
order, and claimed attention till part
ners were chosen for luncheon, by the
aid of conundrums. Those who had en
joyed the hospitality of that most hos
pitable bouse, felt that the hostess had
simply carried on its good name for de
licious things to eat. After lunch, pen
cils were distributed, and guessing the
aggregate weight of ten ladies present
was begun. Interest waxed fast and
furious, and astonishment was ex
pressed when it was known how little or
how much the big sleeves present were
filled. Mrs. B. S. Huntington covered
herself with glory, and also won the
head prize of a gold thimble, by guess
ing 1370 pounds, which was within one
pound of the correct number, while Mrs.
Eugene Price, who is a lady of large
ideas, won a silver thimble by putting
her guess on the card at away up
in the ISOOs.
A more pleasant afternoon all agreed
was never spent, and it is one that will
long be remembered by Mesdames

A large audience greeted the Howe
Readick Dramatic Company in "Monte
Cristo," at the Baldwin last evening.
However high may have been the praise
for the acting on the previous evening,
the words could be repeated in describ
ing the performance last night. The
piece is well known to be a strong one
and it suffered nothing at the hands of
suoh players as compose the Howe
Readick Company. The audience was
very responsive and the applause was
loud and frequent. Mr. Readick, Mr.
Ross and Mr. Makin were superior in
their parts, while the same may be said
of the remaining members of the cast
especially Miss Tittell and Miss Free
man. Miss Tittell is a favorito In The
Dalles and Miss Freeman made herself
one by her acting last evening. The
music of the Orchestra Union added
much to the pleaure of the evening.
Tonight "Tony the Outcast" will be re
peated by request and tomorrow evening
"The American Girl."
The Rothermal case went "eky high"
this morning when Judge Bradshaw in
structed the jury to return a verdict in
favor of the defendant. The state rested
last night and immediately the attorneys
for the defence Duiur & Menefee and
Huntington & Wilson introduced a mo
tion to the effect as stated above. Argu
ments were heard yesterday afternoon
and evening and this morning the court
granted the motion and the defendant
was discharged. No evidence bad been
introduced by the defenee. The point
raised was that the indictment dharged
Rothermal with embezzlement, bnt the
evidence went to show that' Rothermal
was not the agent of Morsbach, the man
from whom the money was alleged to be
stolen, consequently he was not guilty of
embezzlement. The point was vigor
ously combatted by Prosecuting Attorney
When persona are weak and languid,

that the blood is out of order, and they
need help to throw off the miserable
