rector ; M. H. Nickel-sen was re-elected
clerk for the third time. .
Mr. M. F. Sloper of Hood River
visited the Goldendale mines and be
. lieve the reports should have read 72
tons to tbe dollar. He found nothing
but a volcanic rock, any quantity of
which may be found around Hood River.
He says the country has all been located
by the farmers around there, who would
have been better off if they had just
kept on plowing.
W. R. Winans was circulating a . peti
tion during tbe week to the connty court
asking that body to appropriate $500 for
the completion of the road from Tucker's
mill to . Mt. Hood by way of Winans.
The petition received sixty-six names iu
the town of Hood River, and will also
be circulated in The Dalles. The Glacier
says that this is the most direct road to
Mt. Hood, and hopes the commissioners
will see the necessity of granting the
petition.
The Umatilla house has recently
. placed a nickel -in-the-slot machine on
tbe bar counter, which has proven quits
an attraction. It represents a deck of
cards, which shuffles itself when the
nickel is inserted and shows a poker
hand. Anything higher . than a pair of
queens wins a cigar, the higher the hand
the more cigars won. Patrons of the
machine claim it is about a stand-off as
regards losses or winnings. Mr. W. H.
Jones, of the tobacco store, has had a
similar machine for several months.
A very pleasant bouse warming was
given by Mr. Fred. Fisher at his pretty
cottage on the bluff last evening. Music,
games, songs, declamations and a fine

a thoroughly agreeable manner for those
present. These were Mr. and Mrs. A.
R. Thompson, Mr. and Mrs. Chap.

The'Orchestra Union will give a dance
on the 17th of March. The members of
the Union are deserves of buying some
new uniforms and choose this way to as
certain whether their efforts to entertain
the public are appreciated or nbt. The
orchestra desires every encouragement it
is possible for the citizens to bestow,
and they Ehonld show it in buying liber
ally, of the tickets. Many a summer
night have the boys pleased our ears by
their sweet melodies, ministering to our
joys or dulling the edge of sorrow with
the perfect harmony of their instru
ments. Often again in tbe coming sea
son will they contribute to our pleasure
without money and without price. The I
Dalles has every reason to be proud of
its orchestra. It. contains talent of a
high order. The coming ball will have
an intrinsic value of its own, apart from
any other consideration, which : should
secure a large and general attendance.

The matter of holding a -big rally
March 27th,theevening before the county
convention, at. which the country dele
gates could be present and share in the en
thusiasm was brought up. The matter
was discussed pro and con, some gentle
men thinking it beet to hold the meeting
the evening after the convention. Upon
motion, the subject was laid over till the
4 next meeting, in being suggested that
the secretary write to the clubs ia the
country and ascertain their preference
of the two evenings.
The meeting last night was a worthy
beginner and it was the general feeling
that such gatherings could be held fre
quently. The next meeting will be held
March 14th.

Crate had the liberty of the back yard
for a few moments, and Blakeney was
talking to a lady in the office, Jim
cleared the fence and was not discovered
by the other Jim until two blocks away,
Jim chased Jim, but he got awav. It is
believed he is still in hiding in the city,

skillful operators.

' There was not a ripple on tbe sea of
harmony; not one single circumstance
to mar the sweet accord of the meeting.
Just how many offices the Democrats ex
pect to carry at the next election, tbe
committeemen did not say, but if to
day's meeting was an index to the future
of . the party, there will be no lack of
harmony. In fact today's meeting was
too harmonious to be interesting.

bountiful repast was also partaken of,
and shortly after 12 the guests reluct
antly departed, with many expressions
of well wishes that their teacher might
live to enjoy a few hundred more equally
pleasant and delightful birthdays. On
behalf of the class, one of the young
ladies presented Mr. Stewart with
elegant gold fountain pen as a birthday
gift. Those present were Mr. and Mrs,

In Portland.
Portland, March 9. Probably the
most exciting school election in tbe his
tory of Portland "took place today. It
was a straight issue between the A. P,
A; and. those opposed j,to the principles
of that organization. Prof. R. K. War
ren was elected by a majority of 630 over
S. H. Finley, who was put forward by
the A. P. A. The total vote of the city
was 7,000. Long before 2 p. m., tbe
hour set for opening the polls, doz
ens or carriages, placarded with the
names of the candidates, were bringing
people in to vote. Challengers for both-
jdes were at every polling place and
many quarrels occurred though no ser
ious trouble took place.
BE8ULT IN PENDLETON.

Mr. Stewart Entertains.
Mr. George Ernest Stewart, teacher o'f
the Young People's Bible class of the
Christian Sunday school, gave a. recep
tion to the members of his class last
Saturday evening, at the residence of
Hon. E. B. Dufur, the occasion being in
honor of . the anniversary of his 20th
birthday. Tbe event is one long to be
remembered by the merry guests pres
ent by reason of the manner in which
they were most happily and royally en
tertained. Father Time, who is, at his
very slowest pace, an exceedingly diffi
cult fellow to keep up with, seemed to
have issued special orders for that even
ing, that his winged element tax its
speed to the very utmost, in order that
the hours might appear to be about half
their usual shortness, for ere tbe joyous
party were aware of it, the midnight
honr was warning them that it was time
all honest folks were in bed. Several
new games were introduced and success
fully carried out, as well as a number of
old ones, in ecstaciea of great mirth and
Mr. Hugh Gourlay announces that in
few days he will deliver a lecture in
the First Baptist church on the subject
'Civil and Religious Liberty vs. A.
P. Aisni, from the Standpoint of a Pro
testant American Citizen." He will
discuss tbe questions: What does
American history teach regarding tbe
loyalty of our Calholic fellow-citizens?
and what do Catholic authorities teach
regarding the civil or temporal power of
the pope?
Rev. O. D. Taylor cheerfully extends
the use of the church to Mr. Gourley,
who takes somewhat opposite views to
those of Rev. Sutton, who lectured last I
Wednesday evening. Mr; Taylor says
he would be glad to have all great ques
tions which are now agitating the minds
of the American people discussed in a
public manner, and will give tbe use of
the church to such discussions. 11,6 be
liees in the American principles of lib
erty of speech, liberty of thought and
liberty of the press, and is willing to
make of the church a veritable liberty
hall. Some time since he had oppor
tunity to grant the use of the church to
a "sound money" advocate, but a free
silver speaker being minus, he held th6
matter in abeyance until such time as
both sides could have a hearing.

Republicans at Gnu Valley.
The opening gun of the campaign in
Sherman county was tbe big Republi
can rally at Grass valley on Saturday
last. ..There were over 500 people pres
ent, many coming . from a distance of
twenty miles. Tbe speaker of the even
ing was Hon. John Michell, who held
the floor for over two hours, amid much
enthusiasm. He handled tbe political
situation in bis accustomed forcible
manner, and administered potent medi
cine from his generous laboratory of facts
and figures. The inclement weather
(there was Bnow on the ground) did not
detract from the size ol the assemblage.
Three brass bands and two quartettes
contributed to the enjoyment of the
evening. '

John Woodruff has-solved a part cf
the social problem in tiia own way. He
is living" as a hermit about a mile west
of the city in tbe hillside above the Odd
Fellows' cemetery.
Woodruff is an old man, who last
worked at the Columbia hotel about two
years ago as night clerk. He is a good
conversationalist, an omnivorous reader,
and has the mildest manners and most
innocent cast of countenance conceivable.
The gentleness of his disposition xehows
in every lineament of bis countenance;
he has tbe hair and eyes of a poet, the
mobile mouth of an idealist. He has a
smile for every visitor and is ready to
talk and always has something to say
pon every subject brought up, either
the, realms of Bience, politics or
rel:gion. .
His domicile he calls Rock Castle. It
is hewn out of tbe conglomerate rock
which jots out from the hillside about a
hundred feet from the base of the moun
tain. The doorway is just sufficient to
admit an ordinary sized man. Enter
ing it yesterday a reporter found the old
man at his usual occupation, reading.
Before he entered upon his present life
he was a great patron of the free reading
room above Pease & Mays store.)
There is room comfortably for four or
five persons within. He was sitting by
fire, within an ingeniously contrived
re place made of an old piece of stove
fitted in the side of the rock wall, a
chimney leading up through the side of
the cliff and out to the air. A single
bunk extends along the rear wall, which
comprises the . greatest width of his
dwelling. There are a few cooking
utensils, but these serve only for bim to
live in the most primitive way. Out
side is a woodshed, the roof of which is
an overhanging cliff. The most unique
feature of his dwelling is a needle-shaped
rock about twenty feet high, rising from
nearly over bis abode, which inspired
the name Rock Castle. It sets off the
cave very neatly. Though forgotten by
the world in this out of the way place,
he does not the world forget. He has a
splendid birds-eye view of the city, the
winding river and the distant mountains
towards three points of the compass.
What thoughts revolve in his mind as he
gazes upon the smoking chimneys of the
city, the bustle and activity of a world
of which he once constituted a part, is
beyond conjecture. His needs are few
and they do not trouble him. He comes
to the city every two or three days to re
plenish his larder and gets water from a
sprint; be has discovered near by.
it is just possible the old man does
get enough to eat. It was remarked bv
a vjsitor yesterday he does not look as
well as formerly. Perhaps it might b;
well for some of his former friends to in
vestigate. . Though a hermit, he does
not possess .that austerity commonly
supposed to exist with that species of
misanthropists, His greatest need be
expresses to be Wading matter.
Woodruff hat spent the winter in bis
present dwelling. It is warm in winter
and cool in' summer. He 'is satisfied
with it, and seems to be enjoying bis
declining years in'this nnueual manner.
The divorce was granted Mr. Angel oa
January 15th last, together with the cus
tody of four children, ranging in age
from 9 to 14 years.
The next slep in the Bradley-Angel
history was tbe marriage last evening of
Darwin Bradley and Mrs. Minnie Angel
at the Columbia hotel. The woman who
chose against husband and children to
marry her guest and- care for his chil
dren arrived in the city the day or tbe
day before the ceremony. ' The divorced
husband heard of it and insisted upon
being present at the ceremony, and as a
matter of fact was tbe first to congratn- '
late the newly-wedded pair.
It has not been two months since the
Angel divorce was granted,' nor four
months since Bradley's wife died,
therefore the wedding appears a little
hasty under the circumstances. An
Oregon statute forbids the marriage of a
divorced person within' six months time
from the granting of tbe decree. But
there are devious ways to evale tbe law,
and when two hearts beat as fondly as
those of the impecunious Bradley and
the rash Mrs. Angel, love laughs at lcck
smiths as of vore.

tor The Chronicle and
Mr. Darwin Bradley and Mrs. Minnie
Angel were married at 8 o'clock last
evening at tbe Columbia hotel.
There is something of a romance con
nected with this event which is worthy
of presentation by Tub Chronicle. . Mr.
Bradley has been a travelling photogra
pher, a man of family, but of habitually
limited circumstances.. His wife died at
the residence of Oscar Angel in Novem
ber last, after a very short illness, and
was buried November 15: h. The Brad
leys for several months previous had
been invited by Mr. Angel to make his
house their home, sympathy for them
in their straitened -circumstances induc
ing bim to make the offer. When Brad
ley's wife died, leaving three children
motherless, he was nnable to meet the
funeral expenses, and the county footed
tbe bill for the coffin. .
In a short time domestic infelicity was
apparent between Mr. and Mrs. Angel,
resulting in a divorce suit and the de
parture of Mrs. Angel about Jannary lt
to relatives in the Willamette valley.
Jim Crate is a sadder and a wiser man
this morning. He has labored not under
the delusion that the world owes him a
living, but that a small share of it, that
class of society known as tbe demi
monde, are financially responsible for
his needs, be theyjlarge or small. While
in a bouse of ill tame adjoining Maeti &
Pundt's saloon last night be made bia
usual demands for money of the inmates.
They refused, but he persisted, even re
sorting to threats of personal violence.
They retaliated and threatened to call
the police. He then defied the whole
police force of the city. Shortly after
ward Officer Connelly and Marshal
Blakeney Brrived, having been sum
moned. Crate fled fo the room next
door, where hp was followed by the offi
cers. Being approached by Blakeney,
Crate shot out his left, but some way it
missed connection, and a stinging blow
in the face felled him to the floor. Both,
officers picked him up and' he went very
meekly to the city jail. Blood was
streaming from his face, and a physician
called, who found that Crate had sus
tained a fracture of the noee. He waa
patched up, and this morning appeared
before the city recorder. He plead
guilty and was fined $50. There is an
other fine of $50 banging over him for a
misdeed some months ago, which he for- '.
feited by coming back to tbe city. He
will now have to pay-the (50, or serve it
out in fail, before he is given another
opportunity to leave town.
The Sheep Outlook.
Mr Otto Kohler corrects an item
which appeared a few days ago in The
Chronicle that 4,500 head of sheep
were being fed at New Brighton. He'
says: ."There is at present about
42,000 here. There has been about 3,000
shlppe J out the last few days. There are
about 35,000 head -over at South St.
Paul feed yard also, and as the sheep
market is very dull, about $1.30 per 100
pounds lower than last year at this
time,' feeders are badly disappointed, as
loss is staring them in the face."
