' crossing from the Catholic church and
broke her arm. She is now resting easi
ly and the fracture will doubtless meud
The desire has been generally ex
pressed that the business houses close
tomorrow, or at least the greater portion
of the day. Holidays are not very fre
quent and both proprietors and clerks
will be better for the rest.
Tickets for the dance to be given to
morrow night are selling rapidly and it
is expected a large number will be pres
ent. The Orchestra Union have some
new music which they will play upon
mis occasion. ins xnanKsgivmir oau
promises to be a great success.
The next attraction booked at the
Baldwin opera bouse is the Smith-Lieb
Company. This company opened the
New Park theater in Portland, under
the management of J. P. Howe and de
lighted the theater-going public of that
city with their excellent playing. The
cbmpany will open their engagement in
this city on Monday, December 2nd.
Tomorrow evening Miss Elliot will
give a musical recital in the Congrega
tional church. The program is pub
lished in another column. Mies Elliot
is possessed of a rich cintralto voice and
. ber singing is much appreciated wher
ever heard. During the evening some
of our local talent will be heard from.
The concert will be well worth attending
by all lovers of music.
This morning Judge Bradsbaw sen
tenced Lee Morehouse to three years in
the penitentiary, Morehouse bad been
convicted on two charges, one of burglary
and the other larceny. For the first one
be received two years and the second
charge one vear. This afternoon Sheriff
Driver took him to Salem. Taft who
was Morehouse's partner in the crime
will be sentenced Friday.
A meeting of citizens was held in Hood
Kiver yesterday to nominate a ticket to
be voted for in the coming city election.
The nominations made were as follows :
Mayor, L N Blowers; conncilmen, S E
Bartmess, Lucas Henry, H F Davidson,
J H Dukes. L E Mor6e, J P Watson ;
recorder, George T Pratber; treasurer,
M H Nickelsen ; marshal, E S dinger.
It is not yet known whether or not there
will be any opposition at the polls.
Miss Daisy Matlock will leave The
Dalle's next Saturday for Portland,
where she will enter the training school
for Salvation Army officers. Miss Mat
lock has requeeted us to say that she
would be pleased to have her friends call
at the barracks Friday evening, where
ber farewell will be taken, and say good
bye. The young lady has been one of
the most enthusiastic workers of. the
army in The Dalles.
Next Sunday tbe Elks at the Cascade
Locks will bold a lodge of sorrow a
time of mourning for tbe dead. The
service is one of tbe moat beautiful
among tbe rites of the order and makes
a deep impression upon the members.
During tbe services of commemoration a
eulogy is pronounced. Mr. John Michell
of this city has been selected as the
orator and his effort will undoubtedly be
a worthy one. It is not yet known what
arrangements bave been made for the
attendance of members from Tbe Dalles
but doubtless lhera will be some an
nouncement before Sunday. Quite a
number of the Eiks irom this city ex
pect to attend. '
Mr. Alfred F. Sear?, jr., of Portland,
arrived in The Dalles last evening. Mr.
4rs has been retained by the friends
of the murdered Chinaman, Lock Wa,
to assist in the prosecution of the alleged
offenders, Lee Git and Lee Ching.
Henry E. McGinn waa to be one of tbe
attorneys for tbe prosecution, but bis
elevation to the bench has made it nec
essary that he withdraw from being of
counsel. Along with Mr. Sears came a
Chinese interpreter, who will act in the
case. Both sides find it necessary to
bave interpreters.
.The grain shipments by the Regula
tor continue very heavy. Every day
tbe boat is well .loaded, the number
of sacks ranging from 500 to 1000. This
evidenceof prosperity is very gratifying
to the well-wishers of the boat line.
Among the things for which the people
of The Dalles can give thanks tomorrow
is the Regulator. This steamer and the
enterprise which it represents has made
it so that even if the locks are not open
at the promised time, the hardship will
not be a great one. Freight and pas
senger rates have been brought down to
such a figure that it may be truthfully
said no one asks them to be lower.
Without the eteamers of tbe D. P. & A.
N. Co. this citv could not occupy the
commanding commercial position it now
does.
Monday evening was the occasion of a
very pleasant garnering neia in nonor
of Miss Williams of Portland. Miss
Marden was the hostess of tbe evening,
and proved a most hospitable enter
tainer. r Tables were arranged for whist,
and the earlier part of the evening de
voted to this popular diversion. The
head prize was taken by Mr. Max A.
Vogt and the booby captured by Mr. J.
H. Weigel. After refreshments, conver
sation ruled till a late hour, when a de
lightful evening came to a close.
Among those fortunate enough to be
present were Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Tolmie,
Mr. and Mrs. H. W. Frencli, Miss Wil
liams. Miss Kuch, Miss Michell, Miss
Lay, Messrs. E. M. Williams, Charles
Lord, Max A. Vogt, J. H. Weigle and
Victor Marden.
The Denton case consumed today in
the circuit court. The evidence of the
state, which was circumstantial, sought to
prove that the defendant was about the
premises at the time of the fire and from
previous statements he bad made drew
tbe inference that be did the deed. The
theory of the defense was an alibi. The
first witness for the state was exam
ined yesterday afternoon. Today tbe tes-
mony was all in. B. S. Huntington
made the opening argument for the state
and made a very forcible speech, pre
senting the facts in a logical manner. Mr.
Huntington was followed by N. H. Gates
ho made a strong speech for the de
fendant; J. L. Story also for tbe defense.
Mr. Story was speaking as we go to
press. Pros. Atty. Jayne will close for
the state. What the verdict will be no
one seems willing to guess.
Friday's Dallv.
A slight frost was Visible to early-ris
ers this morning.
Cooler weather with rain or snow is
the prediction for tomortow.

tiary. Taft was found guilty of the lar
ceny of some grain, and was jointly in
dicted with Lee Morehouse.
The spirit of improvement still keeps
on. The O. E. & N. Co. is re-shingling
the roof of their large round bouse in
The Dalles. The job is no small one,
and it will take several days to complete
the work.

sixty-four nights in Portland and the
unqualified approval of the press and
the large audienees be has attracted in
sures a rare treat for the citizens of The
Dalles.
Of the many pleasant family gather
ings which Thanks iving !ay witnessed
in this city, few were more interesting

William and Edna, children of Edward
and Eliza Pease ; also Dorothy and Pru
dence, children of Frederick and Pru

Thanksgiving services were held yes
terday evening in the Episcopal church.
Tbe service iwas read by Mr. T. O. Mc
Gann, of Lyle, a layman, who bad been
asked by the bishop to read on this oc
casioo. A large number of worshippers
were present and took part in the ser
vices. As there is no regular rector for
the church, the members are very grate
ful to Mr. McGann for bis kindness in
officiating upon the occasion. '
Thanksgiving' day was royally ob
served at the county jail. Mrs. J. H.
Cross sent to the prisoners a dinner,'
which would bave pleased the taste "of
the .'greatest epicure. There were tur-i
key, chicken, custard pie, mince pie
cranberry sauce and all. the other good
thinea that go to make up a Thanks
giving feast. It is needless to say the
inmates appreciated the change from
their accustomed diet, and were very
grateful to their kind benefactress.
The ball given last evening by the Mt,
Hood hose company proved to be the
great success wa which anticipated. At
the hour of beginning the floor was cov
ered with dancers, while a large number
of spectators were present to enjoy the
good music and watch the gay trippers
of the fantastic. The floor committee
saw to it that everyone had a good time,
while the music of the Orchestra Union
was all that could be desired. Tbe ball
lasted till a late hour, and everyone
went home hoping the first dance of the
Mt. Hood boys would not be their last,

After being out twenty-four hours tbe
jurors in the Denton case came into the
courtroom late yesterday afternoon and
announced to Judge Bradshaw their in
ability to agree upon a verdict. The
judge, thereupon, dismissed them. The
case went to the jury Thursday after
noon and while no one expected a speedy
verdict it was generally thought some
conclusion otner than a disagreement
would be reached. It is understood the
vote in tbe jury room was at different
times eight to four and seven to five and
six to six for conviction. All efforts to
come to any agreement were seen to be
futile. The case will be re-tried at tbe
present term of court.

Tbe Atbletlc Social Club s Go.
A list has been circulated yesterday
and today for persons to sign who
wish to become members of a social
and athletic club, the organization of
which is contemplated. The project
met with a cordial reception, and its
success, seem 8 already assured. Sixty
three signatures were obtained within a
short space of time, and there are many
yet to be seen, some of whom at least
will jein..' " " . '
If the club can be organized, as in
tended, it will be a fine thing. Al
though nothing is settled as yet, the in
tention is to have a gymnasium, with
shower-bath attachment; a bowling
alley (if not immediately, as soon aa it
can be obtained); a reading room, li
brary and social rooms. A prominent
business man told a Chronicle reporter
that he waa readv to build a t-uitable
structure for tbe club in case it was de
cided to proceed to organization. The
matter will be pushed to an early com
pletion, and in all probability early ar
rangements will be made for.a suitable
building and apparatus. The social and
athletic features will become very popn-

An Afternoon Party.
A pleasant party was given yesterday
afternoon at the handsome residence of
A large audience filled the Congrega
tional church last evening upon the
occasion of Mies Elliot's recital. Seated
in the church were people who were
drawn together to listen to an evening of
music and it is safe to say a more cul
tured or intelligent concourse of people
it would be hard to find in the city.
Among the first numbers on the program
was a piano solo by Mies Clara Nickel
sen, a young girl of but 14 years,
who acquitted herself remarkably well.
She played with much pr. cision and ex
pression. An instrumental duet by
Miss Schmidt and Miss Nona Euch was
among the delightful numbers on tbe
program. Their selection was exceed
ingly well played and the young ladies
were given a hearty encore to whicti
they responded graeious'y. Mrs. Briggs
alwavs a favorite. with a Dalles audience
or wherever her bright face is seen, next
gave a recitation which carried on the
theme of the evening, the old, old story
that "makes the world go round com
pletelv in a somewhat umerent man
ner. Her selection waa very happy and
given in a manner that carried witn tier
the hearts of the whole audience those
to whom the words brought only mem
ories, and those to whom were brought
sweet dreams of tbe fucure. '
Of Miss Elliot herself words of high
praise should be given. Her singing de
lighted tbe audience in hi unmistakable
manner. She acted wisely in the choice
of a program, us tie f-elt ctions were of a
kind tin t pleased those who possessed
no technical knowledge in music and
yet lacked nothnig in dignity. Miss
Elliot hn h b- utiful voice and one that
has been c:uefnlly cultivated. She was
at her best last evening and ber tinging
added much to her already high reputa
tion as a vocalist.
Forty-five "Old Hickory" Wagons have been sold by us in the past four
months. This we think is an expression of the opinion of the people who use
wagons tbat the "Old Hickory" ia what we claim it to be the bkst made wagon
on earth. We are not otterine the "Old Hickory" as a Uheap Wagon. We fully
Guarantee every piece of timber put into the ''Old Hickory" to be First-Class,
and will cheerfully replace fbee of charge any piece broken, which proves to be
Drasn or unsound, regardless ot cause ot breakage.
Come and eee the "Old Hickory." It talks for itself.
