' The sale of Cbristmat trees this season
'has been unusually large, and a thriving

Mr. L. S. Davis received a letter from
(.Bishop Morris today, saying that Eev.
Jtr. Goss, formerly of Baker City, has
ijonsenied to preach tomorrow in the
Episcopal church. This arrangement
I will enable the bishop to fill a needed
appointment elsewhere. '
lJJ. H. Sherar of Sherar's Bridge one of
Jaeco Co.'s prominent citizens and
gest sheep raisers, was taking in the
. nights in town today, and from his smil
f ing countenance we were led to believe
Vnat somebody: would be made bappy
jf? with a nice Christmas present, for J. H.
r remembers the poor.
Last evening the stores were crowded
with people making ' purchases for
Christmas, at u the town had a lively
appearance.' : The postmaster and assist-
ants are doing heavy work with the
Christmas mail, while the express office
hag its bnsieBt season. Tomorrow is the
C;' gladdest day of all the year, and the pre p
f. arations for if gives untold pleasure.
The paseenger train from the east was
an hour and a half late in reaching The
t Dalles this morning. The delay was
caused by a severe storm in the Blue
mountains, which caused the snow to
gather in the cuts and cover the track in
many pieces. .The rotary plow preceded
the passenger train from La Grande to
Pendleton. ' A snow blockade Hasn't
much of a show against a rotary, though
it could give bother enough to the old
fashioned plows. '
Mr. C. F. Stephens proved to be the
lucky man in the raffling for the picture
painted by Mrs. John Filloon and on
exhibition in the Snipes-Kinersly drug
store. Ticket number 22 proved to be
the winner, and this was held by Mr.
Stephens. According to the rules of
the drawing as many cents were paid
for a ticket as the number indicated,
and so Mr. Stephens ticket cost nim but
twenty-two cents. The picture is a very
' handsome one and possesses much artis
tic merit. It was a premium-taker at
the fair last October.
f A crowd of spectators was interested
tin watching some huge .beeves hoisted
ton to the books in Wood Bros.' butcher
shop this morning. The beeves dressed
to an average of 1,200 pounds, and as
there were three of them, the space in
the shop was pretty well taken'. Mr.
Wood says these steers were the larg
est ever brought to The Dalles, and
' came from Malheur county. Thev are
truly a sight worth 'witnessing, and a
etrone evidence of what the buncbgrass
country of Eastern Oregon' can do in the
way of big productions.
Dr. Sutherland, who is attending little
Constance French, need today for the
first time in The Dalles the anti-toxin
treatment, the - discussion of which has
occupied the, attention of the medical
world every since:. its discovery. The
percentage of fatal endings of this dread
: disease has "been greatly lessened, medi
; cal authorities elaim, by the use of anti
toxin and there are those who believe it
one of ; the 'greatest dijeoveries of the
century. Dr; Sutherland' iR a reat be
liever in its efficacy; and is hopeful for
good results in the present instance.
Thursday's Daily.

The engagement of the Stanford Man
dolin Club, at Hood Kiver, has been
cancelled as the management sent word

ing the Stanford boys.
At 11 o'clock yesterday morning at
the residence of Rev. I. H. Hazel, who

ison and Miss Snsie Adams were united

We learn that Hon. W. H. Wilson of
The Dalles has been appointed general
attorney for the Lombard Investment
Company for Oregon and Washington,

of Tacotua. J. C. Burkes of this city
remains as local agent for Sherman

A series of revival services will be
held in the Ninth street chapel, com
mencing Friday, December . 27th. They

take of the supper prepared by the
Lord of our common salvation. A spe
cial invitation is given to those who are
not in regular attendance at other
church services.
The services at St. Pauls chnrch yes
terday were largely attended, there being
many visitors present from the other
city churches. The choir was augment
ed by a number of singers from other
choirs and the singing was exceptionally
fine, the solo by Mrs. Price being much
appreciated. Rev. Mr. Goss preached
an excellent sermon, after which the
Holy Communion was administered
Mr. uoss stated that he was sorry no
rector had been secured for the church
in The Dalles but thought that in a very
short time one would be. Mr. Goss re'

congregation feel very grateful to him
for bis kindness in coming to conduct
the Christmas services lor" them.
A meeting of the schoolboard was held
this morning at which were present
Directors Doane, Kinersly and Adams
The meeting was called especially to
consider the resignation of Miss Elliot,
which had been handed in. The resig
nation was accepted and Miss Cassie M
Cheese, of The Dalles, elected to fill the
vacancy. It is understood Miss Elliot
has accepted a position in the public
schools of Boise City, and as it is a bet
ter one than the one she held here, the
board granted her request to leave,
Miss Elliot is . from the East, and has
been teaching in , The Dalles schools
since last September. " Miss Cheese has
taught in this country for several years,
having been engaged in teaching the
school near' Floyds, on 3-Mile, for some
time.
Tuesday evening marked a pleasant
event in the Salvation ArmVi Two of

agreed to share one another's fortunes
for hotter or for worse. The marriage
ceremony was performed ,ty Justice
Davis Hi the parlors of the Union street
lodging house, and was witnessed by a
large number of the SalvationArmy
veterans and recruits. Justice Davis
had' never faced so large a crowd be
fore in' performing a marriage cere
mony, but went through the proceed
ings in proper style. The bride and
groom are well-known workers in the
army ranks, and enjoy the love and
respect of the members in The Dalles
for their many good, qualities. .The
romance had its beginning in" an ac
quaintance formed in the army, so the
event.- can be -called a Salvation wed
ding in every sense" of the terra. ' ' '

The financial outcome of the military
ball was very satisfactory. The receipts
equalled the expenditures and that, was
all the managers wished. The ball will
long- be remembered as a successful
event, and cause our citizens to take a
greater interest in Co. G and the Third
Regiment.
Yesterday evening a chinaman wan
dered into Herbring's store ostensibly
to make a purchase, and while looking
over some of the goods dijplayed upon
the counter, he was noticed to take
a pair of pants and secreted them under
his coat. Policeman Connelly came
along just at this time and took the ce
lestial in charge. His examination is
taking place this afternoon in Justice
Davis I court. Although all chinamen
look more or less alike, this one haa
close, a resemblance, to Lee Git the
murderer" of Lock Wo that several
persons remarked upon it.
The exercises at the.' kindergarten
yesterday afternoon were largely at
tended by the parents and friends of the
children who took part in the proceed
ings. Each child had made presents for
its parents and the pieces of their skill
were distributed to the satisfaction of
the older persons and the intense enjoy
ment of the little ones, who will coun
the day as one of the brightest in their
short memories. :'.
Yesterday afternoon as the Regulator
was passing Viento on her up trip, the
officers and passengers saw a deer wad'
ing in the riv.er along the shore. It was
meandering peacefully along totally
unconscious that, a bullet from some of
the. lumbermen in the vicinity might
bring a sudden end to its career. Deer
have at various time been seen in that
locality and several have been caught
while swimming in the river.
Yesterday afternoon Deputy Sheriff
Kelly sold at sheriff's sale 2300 acres
situated near The Dalles. The sale was
based upon an execution in the case of
the German . Saving & Loan Society vs
T. J. May, Carrie D. May and S. B. Mc-
Cormick. The amount of the judgment
ncludinz casts was 1(0597.87, and this
was the sum at which the property was
bid in by the judgment creditors. The
land "was a part of the old D. E.
Thompson's place on . 5-Mile, which
since Mr. Thompsons ownership, has
passed through several different hands.
There is about 6,000 acres in the tract
which has long been used for pasturage
purposes.
pberiff . Driver received a telephone
message from Dnfur last evenfng, saying
that the condition of Tim Edmunsen,
who was shot last Sunday by Ed. Story,
was worse and the belief prevailed that
the wounded man could not recover,
Story is under arrest and will be kept
under strict surveillance. It is possible
that he will be brought to Dufur tomor
row, and in case he is, Sheriff Driver and
Deputy Pros. Atty. Phelps will drive out
there and hold the preliminary examin
ation. More recent reports of the stab
bing say that Story claims Edmunsen
struck him with his fists and in self
defense Story 'did' the. cutting. ,. The
community at Wamic is considerably
excited over the affair. : --.v. .

The Military Ball.
Although high expectations had been
held of the military ball, which took
place at the armory last night, the scene
of brilliancv. which the spectators be
held, surpassed the anticipations of the
most sanguine. Never before in The
Dalles has there been a more representa
tive gathering of brave men and fair
women than that which crowded, the
capacious ball last evening. At the
time the musical program, which pre
ceded the dancing, began every seat was
taken and benches had to be brought in
to accommodate the overflowing crowd,
The building was decorated most becom
ingly. From the centre of the ceiling.
streamers of red, white and blue were
stretched to the four corners and sides
of the room, making .a canopy effect of
beauty. ' Long lines of evergreen trailed
gracefully around the walls; while every
where. the stars nd stripes greeted the
eye. , xne stage resembled a . young
forest,, the orchestra being partly hidden
j t-i ij t- .
in a bower of evergreen. Stacks of arms
and the regimental and company colors
gave the scene a "military appearance,
The lighting apparatus bad been supple
mented by the introduction of colored
electric lamps'," which gave a subdued
light and varied effect. ' Sentries' were
placed upon the sidewalk leading to the
hall and whichever way one turned some
evidence of the military discipline was
met.. ' e ;
. Before the dancing began the orches
band gave a promenade concert of five
numbers, to which the audience listened
with keen delight. The pieces were
new and rendered in that perfectly satis.
factory manner, for which the Orchestra
Union is famous. At 9:30 the grand
march led By Col. and Mrs. George T,
Thompson began and the marching and
countermarching were very prettily exe
en ted. , The band had given away to the
orchestra, and, as the soft strains of 'the
waltz music floated from out the stage
the floor was immediately covered with
dancers, who through the succeeding
hours enjoyed the entrancing waltz.
The program was very neatly arranged.
the sentiment of each dance being some
appropriate phrases. Some of them
were as follows: "The Third, Pride of
Oregon," "Your Wish is Our Pleasure,"
The Fair Ladies," "The Gallant Gen
tlemen," "Here's to the Field and Staff,"
And Here's to the ,Line,'r "Cannon
Balls, Cartridges and Sabres," ''Co. G,
Will Yon Help Us to Make It the Pride
our Oar city," "To the -Charming Mu
sicians," ','To Your Partner, Best of All,"
Wo1 Hope You : Have Had a Merry
Christmas," "Taps." Between the third
and fourth dances, Hoa. J.. H. Cradle-
bangh madea mostexcellent five minute
talk upon : the militia. : Mr. Cradle
baugh, as everyone knows, possesses the
happy faculty of knowing just what to
say whenever ne is caned upon, in
thought and expression . his speech was'
a model for an occasional address and
the speaker was interrupted with hearty
applause. Mr. Cradlebaugb closed with
graceful bon mot, when be praised
'tho boys who can march to the can
non's mouth or ..any .otner. j ne
peaker was giyen three cheers for his
appaeciated words. ' .Till 'after midnight
the dancers held full sway, and when
the ball was over, those who had enjoyed
the evening's pleasure were nnammous
n declaring it the nonpareil of the social
events in The Dalles.
The committees in charge of the affair
and to. whom the credit is dqe for its
great success were as follows: decep

Christmas Bra Observances.
Christmas eve was observed in The
Dalles in the old-fashioned but ever
pleasant' style. At the Christian and
Methodist churches, public exercises
were held, which drew large audiences.
At the Christian church an interesting
nrogram was rendered, after which the
gifts Were distributed and then a general
good time followed.
This exercises at the Methodist church
were very .. appropriate. The chnrch
was tastily decorated, while on the pul
pit platform two large trees stood forth
emblazoned with light and heavily hung
with all manner of Christmas remem
brances. The program consisted of sing
ine by the school, followed by i;d ad
dress, "Why We Observe Christmas,"
by Re,v. J. H. Wood, who made a few
remarks appropriate to the occasion.
Mr. Breece, a gentleman who has been
in Palestine, save - an interesting talk
of some of his experiences there
Miss Nellie Clarke gave a well rendered
recitation. After an anthem by the
choir, the gifts were distributed under
the supervision of Mr. John Parrott, as
sisted by a number of young men of the
church. A large number of people were
the recipients of presents, none of the
Sunday school children 'being unremem
bered. The occasion was a very pleas
ant one and will be long remembered
by the little ones present.
A Christmas Wedding;.
Among the several weddings which
have taken place in The Dalles this
winter, none were prettier, if such is
the word, than that which occurred yes
terday at the residence of Mr. and Mrs.
Parkins, in Thompson's Addition.
Promptly at 3 o'clock tlie contracting
parties, Mr. F. E. Horton and Mies
Mildred Parkins stood before W. C.

church, and were pronounced husband
and wife. The ceremony was simple
and impressive, and at the close the

You note the difference in
children. Some have nearly
every ailment, even with
the best of bare. Others far
more exposed pass through
unharmed. Weak children
will have continuous colds
in winter, poor digestion in
summer. They are with
out power to resist disease,
they have no reserve
strength. Scott's Emulsion
of cod-liver oil, witli hy po
