The lectnre of Prof. Riddell at the
Methodist cnurch last evening was very
largely attended, me audience was
much pleased with the lecturer and his
theme and listened with close attention
to all that was said. The subject of the
evening was "Blunders" and the speaker
handled it in a novel and forcible man
ner. There's no question but what Prof.
. Riddell is an unusually good speaker and
those who did not r.ear him last night
; missed something they would have en
joyed. One of the old time residents of The
Dalles, Mr. James M. Smith, now of
Seattle, has been a visitor to the city
-this week. Mr. Smith is well-known to
. the residents of The Dalles who were
here ten years ago. .' Along in the early

' mechanic at The Dalles railroad shops,
at that time under the ownership of the

organization can be formed without any
great trouble.

bid farewell to the shores of America
forever. - In talking to a group of men
just before the train left, Lee Chu said
he had worked hard ever since he had
been here, but had been unable to make
any money, and so when a letter came
from his mother in China asking him to
come home, he was willing to go. He
refused to take out a certificate, as iie
had determined to stay in the Flowery
Kingdom as long as life and the Japs
would let him.
Mr. anu Mrs. A. walker met wmi a
very happy surprise Wednesday after
noon. About twenty-five of the mem
bers of the Junior League of the M. E.
chnrch, under the leadership of Mrs.
Wood and Mrs. Willerton, visited them,
carrying with them presents of various
kindp, such as are useful in the house.
About thirty minutes were spent in
social converse, followed with singing
and prayer. The children's hearts were
very happy in showing this kindness,
and it is needless to say that the recipi
ents were exceedingly grateful, and will
ever hold iu sacred remembrance the
members of the Junior League.
The memorial exercises of the E'.ks at
Cascades yesterday proved very interest
ing. John Michel, Esq., "of this city de
livered the eul)gy in i a feeling manner.
His words were very fitting to the occa
sion. V. Courtney Lewis recited "Than
atorjsis" in a way that touched the sen
sibilities of his hearers. The singing of
'Nearer My God to Thee" by the lodge
was a part i.f the exercises. The only
one in the order who died during the
year was George H. Clacking, one of the
victims in the Pendleton fire. Many
visitors attended the "Lodgeof Sorrows,"
the exercises being public. Mr. Micnell
returned last evening.
The monthly social of the Gesang
Verein Harmonie was well attended last
evening and the singing was very much
appreciated by those present. The suc
cess of the society in singing is due in a
large measure to the efforts of Professor
Birgfeld, its efficient instructor. The
vocal eolo by Mr. Karl Gottfried was very
well rendered and the young gentleman
compelled to respond to an encore. The
society gave several very acceptable
selections. The Orchestra Union ren
dered some of its choice pieces, some of
them new ones played for the first time
to a Dalles aud:ence. The Gesang
Verein is one of the pleasantest social
and musical organizations in The Dalles
and provides manv delightful evenings
for its members.
New Year's eve will be the occasion
of a swell social event in this city. At
a recent meeting of the Columbia Hose
Company it was decided to give a grand
ball New Years, at which the beauty
and fashion of The Dalles should gather.
The arrangements will be made on a
large Ecale, and from the way the boys
are pushing the matter the occasion will
be a gorgeous one. A committee, con
sisting of E. C. Pease, Judd S. Fish, R.
H. Lonsdale, George Gibons and F. S.
Gunning, has been appointed to take
full charge of all arrangements, and
from the make-up of the committee it
can be told that nothing but the best
will prevail. The dance just given by
the Mount Hood company was a great
success in every way, and there is no
doubt but what the same can be said at
the close of the Columbia ball.

A meeting of the Hook and Ladder
Company is called for tomorrow evening
in the recorder's office. All members
are requested to be present. The busi
ness of the meeting will be transacted as
speedily as possible so that the members
may have an opportunity of attending

Club has called a meeting for tomorrow

who are interested in the formation of

organization.
Either The Dalles is growing rapidly
in population' or its citizens are more
prone in going out in public. ' Last even
ing the Methodist church was filled with
listeners to hear Prof. Riddell, while a
large crowd packed the Baldwin at the
performance of the CbaEe Stock Com
pany. Besides these several lodges held
regular meetings and probably they had
their full share of attendants.
A crowded house greeted the Chare
Stock Company at the Baldwin last
night. The play was ''Uncle's Darling,"
produced for the first time in The Dalles.
The company is composed of actors and
actresses of merit and the audience was
generous in applause. Some very good
singing was interspersed in the play.
The company carries their own scenery
and that representing an Arctic scene,
showing a ship fast in the ice, was very
realistic. .
:lhe fallowing witnesses were exam
ined today in the case of the State vs.
Lee Ching. E S Bench, Dr Sutherland,
Dr Doane, W H Loch head, Dan Maloney,
K V Gibons, Chris Bills, F G Connolly,
J H Blakeney, Chow and C C Cum
mings, the interpreter. Although Ching
is a card looking citizen, there are a
good many people who think he may be
innocent of the charge against him. His
story that he was present but did not
know that a murder was to be committed
is a reasonable oue.
The first slide of the season occurred
last night about 11 o'clock at the new
grade near the high bridge, about seven
miles west of town. The rain and snow
of yesterday had loosened the soil,
which had been already torn up by the
blasting of last summer, to that a por
tion of the hill came down upon the
track, covering it lor a distance of forty
feet. A gang of men was immediately
set to work, and in a couple of hours the
track was cleared. The passenger train
from Portland, which usually reaches
here at a little after midnight, did not
arrive till 2 o'clock. .
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 that the "Old Hickory" is what we claim it to be ma best madb wagon

Guarantee every piece of timber put into the "Old Hickory" to be First-Class,
and will cheerfully replace fueb of charge any piece broken, which proves to be
brash or unsound, regardless of cause of breakage.
Come and see the "Old Hickorv." It talks for itself.
WLMTEB & CROWES,
Second and Federal Sts., THE DALLES, OR,
Lee Git will Get a Life Sentence.'
"Guilty of murder in the second de
gree" was the verdict rendered in the
case of the State vs. Lee Git. The in
terest in the trial culminated Saturday
afternoon and evening when tho argu
ments of the attorneys were made to the
jury. A. F. Sears, jr., of Portland made
the opening argument for the state and
proved himself a speaker of much abil
ity. He reviewed the evidence in detail
and claimed it was sufficient to justify a
verdict of murder in the first degree' be
ing given. Mr. Sears is a rapid speaker
and chooses his language with precision
and good effect. At times he rises to
eloquence and in.portraying some of the
scenes disclosed by the evidence was
very effective. He made a strong im
pression both on the jury and spectators.
He was followed by Mr. H. S. Wilson,
who plead the cause of the defense.
After referring in a jocose way to some
parts in Mr. Sears' argument, Mr. Wil
son passed on to the merits of the case.
He stated that the state had failed to
show any premeditation and character
ized the identification of the defendant
by the dying man as deficient. Mr.
Wilson's style of speaking is totally
different from Mr. Sears', but is no less
effective. He is cool, dispassionate and
logical, at times witty and dealing in a
touch of sarcasm. His argument mado
an undoubted impression on the jury
and was well received by all who heard
him. At"the close of Mr. Wilson's speech
Judge Bradshaw declared a recess till 7
o'clock.
Upon the re-assembling pf court Mr.
B. S. Huntington addressed the court
upon Borne instructions which the de
fendant asked the court to give and then,
gave his attention to the jury. Mr.
Huntington spoke for an hour and a half
and won the closest attention of t he jury
and the interest of the crowded court
room. He spoke of the great responsi
bility which lay upon the jury and the
attorneys in the case and said iv was one
which no one would wish to take upon
himself. Mr. Huntington went care
fully over the testimony and declared
that any verdict which would take away
the life of the defendant would be un
just. Granting that a murder had been
committed Mr. Huntington said it was
possible than another hand had com
mitted it than the hand of the defend
ant. Mr. Huntington spoke earnestly
and added much to his reputation as an
advocate. Prosecuting Attorney Jayne
closed the case for the state and made a
good argument to the jury. In review
ing the evidence for the state he said the
chain connecting the defendant was com
plete and a verdict of guilty as charged
was what the state demanded and felt
itself entitled to. His argument was
strong and perfectly fair, being free
from any bias. After the instructions
from tho court th inry retired at 9 ;30 to
deliberate. The crowd hung around the
courtroom till after 11 o'clock, when the
most of the spectators went home. At
half past twelve a knock was heard upon
the jury door and when the judge and
counsel arrived the verdict was received.
Lee Git, the defendant, was overjoyed
at the termination of the case and when
the intelligence had been conveyed to
him made no attempt to conceal his
pleasure. He thanked the jury individ
ually' and collectively,' shaking hands
with each man with fervor. He has
probably felt his neck a dozen times to
be sure he had it on. '
