Six cars of flour from Rockford, WaBh ington, passed through town this morn' ing for Portland, where the flour will be' loaded aboard the Mount Lebanon and taken to China. The establishing of the Q.

The bazaar to be held next Friday and Saturday evenings will be some thing well worth attending. For a lengthy period the ladies of the Congre gational church have been laboring bard preparing the articles of fancy .work, etc., for the different booths. Tne pro gram arranged for both nights is very attractive and contains some of the best musical and literary ability to be found in town. A nominal admission fee of ten cents will be charged. The features of the bazaar will be very unique and entertaining. Bad news was received in a private letter this morning from Mitchell. It is slated that 600 sheep belonging to Mr, Conroy have been poisoned and are dead and more are dying. It is possible the whole band of 2300 will perish. Some one with a heart in him like a devil has done the deed, having no clue or trace of the perpetrator. It is likely that the same hands laid the poison for the sheep that set fire to the hay of Mr. Conroy a few weeks since. Stock owners in the Mitchell region are becoming thoroughly alarmed and if this sort of thing keeps up and no one is caught at it, many sneep owners win ue compelled to go out of business. Mr. Conroy, who is a new comer to the Mitchell country, has suffered greatly from eome one's devilish ness and should the offender be appre hended there is liable to be no necessity to trouble a court of justice with trying the man. Monday's Dally. The play which will be given next Wednesday night by the Dramatic Club will be for the benefitjof St. Vincent's society, a charitable organization of the Catholic church. R. H. Darneille has purchased the feed yard known as the Brooks & Beers feed yard and is prepared to attend the wants of all customers.

The Japanese booth at the bazaar next Friday and Saturday nights, is sure to attract much attention. A great va riety of articles will be for sale with the prices marked low. Pies, cakes and other eatables will be on hand for sale. The program will be very attractive. and among the many objects of interest everyone will find something to please them. The bazaar will be held at the Araory hall next Friday and Saturdav evenings. ine ranroaa is beginning to carry large amounts of wheat from the interior to the seaboard. The wheat movement has been unusually delayed because of the producers holding for a higher price, but the prospect of bad weather has caused the farmers to begin to get rid of their surplus. Several extra trains passed through The Dalles yester d iy loaded with wheat from the upper country, while nearly a train load leaves this place every day. Business on the railroad will be livlur from now till the wheat shipments are over and the rail road boys will draw larger checks on pay dav. The Denton case will go to the jury today. The state rested at 11:15, and at 2 o clock all the evidence for the defense was in. Huntington & Wilson are assisting the prosecuting attorney, while tne defendant is represented by Story & Gates. Twenty-one witnesses were examined for the state and seven for the defense. ' The closing arguments are being made as we go to press. Last evening about 5:30 persons on the street noticed a bright light in the direction ot Dry Hollow. It could be told that some house or barn was afire, but just where was not learned till this morning. The scene of the confla gration was about three miles from town, where a house belonging to Marshall Hill was burned. The building was oc cupied by a family named Walker, new comers to Wasco county from the Wil lamette valley. The origin of the fire is a mystery, as when the family left home at noon to do some visiting, everything was all right and the fire did not occur till several hours later. The loss to the Walkers is complete, as everything they had was burned. All their furniture, clothing, bedding, etc, Was destroyed, so the family is without shelter or suitable provision for the winter. Tuesday's Dally. of hogs and a car load of the stock shipments last A car load cattle were evening. A right of way deed from J. A Mun day to the O. R. & N. Co. was filed for record today.

Over $500 in cash was taken. There ia uo clue to the perpetrators.

This Is the wind up of the Chinese murder case, as far as the offenders are concerned. The tax payers nave yet to foot the bill. Sheriff Driver returned Sunday from Salem, where be took Lee Git, who en ters the penitentiary for life. Git has come to the conclusion that he has a dreary prospect before him and just be fore leaving the jail said he wonld as leave be banged as go to the penitentiary for life. He would probably change his mind, however, wljen put to the test. Tonight the Woodmen will give a "smoker" at their lodge room In Frater nity ball.

P Batch, the well-known druggist at that place, is lying very ill. He was in The Dalles about a. week ago and was LEflDS THEBI JUL taken sick soon after returning home. For some time Mr. Balch has been in poor health, and the present attack was not unexpected. His friends hope to hear of his early convalesence. ' G. C. M.jsier and M. C.

With the men that are at the head of the movement for the organization that shall combine the merits of a Commer cial, Athletic and Social Club, the pro ject could be nothing else but successful. The council chamber was filled Satur day with an enthusiastic assemblage which had gathered to complete the or ganization of a club whose objects just at present are better known than its name. The meeting was called to order by the president, J. S. Schenck, and the results of the trustees' labors were an no'unced. Propositions concerning i building were received from the Mich- aelbach estate and from The Dalles Lumbering Company. After much dia cussion it was waB decided that the The hearty reception with which the second story of the building occupied by proposal is met shows that the desire for the club has long been dormant in the hearts of our citizens and all that was needed was ior some one to take the lead. Yesterday the gentlemen who were chosen as trustees spent a portion the Lumbering Company should be leased under a temporary arrangement and fitted up to suit the purposes of the club, When it came to selecting a name for the organization an amusing debate was of the day securing members and the carried cn between some of the mem result exceeded the hopes of the most bers. Three names were proposed sanguine, bankers, merchants, capital- commercial," "yuinette" and "Dal ists, doctors, lawyers, voung men and wasore," the latter being a combination old men were eager to sign the lists and made from the first three letters of the promise aid in every possible wav for words Dalles, Wasco and Oregon. As the enterprise. The committee have the matter of choosing a name was con been unceasing in their efforts to place the club on a firm basis. Mr. Vogt has consented to erect a building which in every way will be suitable for the pur poses of the club. While the committee has made no definite arrangements, it is more than likely Mr. Vogt's proposal will be accepted. Till this building could be erected the club will occupy temporary quarters somewhere. The enthusiasm which has been shown over the formation of the club is remarkable. It is to be hoped it is of the kind which will continue. A prominent capitalist stated in the hearing of the writer that he would rather give $50 than see the project fall through. Tonight all those sidered to be a very important one, it was finally decided to postpone further action upon the subject till Tuesday evening, until which time the meeting adjourned. The attendance was very satisfactory, the number of business men represented being very large. Much interest and enthusiasm was shown throughout all the proceedings, and it can be safely said that the establishment of the club upon a basis that will provo successful is as sured. During the interval till Tueeday night it 68 expected that the bright minds of the club will be busy evolving a name that will prove pleasing to everyone. As soon as this matter is ue- wno nave expressed a willingness w oe- cided upon the articles of incorporation come memoerH are requested ro De win be forwarded to Salem, and it is present at the council chambers, when expected that work will immediately be the organization will be completed, beguti upon the fitting up of the club's Let every business and professional man quarters be present and by Ins counsel, aid in starting the enterprise aright. Of its value to the town there is no question, It. will be a nucleus around which the citizens may rally and a means of caus ing other institutions to come, which will benefit our growing city.

Mrs. Wilson, Mrs. Esbel- man and Mrs. Hostetler had the most correct answers and drew lots to see who should carry off the beautiful prize.
