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 lunch served to while away the hours in a thoroughly agreeable manner for those present. These were Mr. and Mrs. A. R. Thompson, Mr. and Mrs. Chap. Groat, Mr. and Mrs. L. Clarke, Mr. and Mrs. C. S. Gilbert, Mr. and Mrs. S. Bolton, Misses Maud Gilbert, Effiie and Vesta Bolton, Mrs.' Haley, Mr. John Cates, Fred, Arthur and Charley Clarke.

JYork will be commenced soon on the new store building. Peach buds have not been injured in the country except in rare instances. Within the city, where the buds were influenced by walls of buildings, a loss has in several cases resulted. Mr. A. S. Blowers today filed the fol lowing statement with the county clerk : "I hereby tender my resignation as county commissioner of Wasco county, to take effect as soon as approved by the county court." Mr. Wickman, a farmer . living on 5-Mile, says that the cold snap has de troyed millions of grasshoppers in his vicinity. The warm weather caused them to hatch freely, and the freeze de stroyed them unanimously. All parties who have subscribed to tbe Rattlesnake road and are delinquent will please pay right away, as Mr. McDonald can superintend the work while working out the appropriation given by Sherman county. All money and labor should be in before the 20th of March. , In the report of the McKinley club meeting the' names of the committees appointed by the president were- inad vertently omitted. The committees are as follows: Executive B. S. Hunting ton, Frank Menefee, E. Jacobsen. Mem bership M. T. Nolan, W. H. Wilson, T. A. Hudson. , . The friends of flon. Fierce Mays in The Dalles will be glad to hear of that gentleman's election to the presidency of the Multopor Republican Club, the lead ing organization of its kind in the state. The delegates to.the last two club con ventions remember the hospitable en tertainment given by the Multopor Club and under Mr.. May's presidency the same conditions are sure to continue. The Multopor Club carries the Republi can banner well to the front. " 'Mr.'FWL. Bkibbe has "attached a thermometer to bis telephone. It is suppoeed to indicate the degree of heat a person is in when anything is the mat ter with central or he don't catch what is said after repeated efforts, and is in tended merely as a safeguard. Blood heat is indicated at 100. It is very dan gerous to stand at the telephone when it gets above this figure. ;. ; 1 : Ex-Gov. Moody received word . this morning of the death of his eldest brother, Mr. T. H. Moody, of Lewis, Edwards county,.,Kaneas. His first in timation of his brother's sickness or death was the receipt of a marked copy J of a Kansas paper containing the an- j nouncement. ' The deceased is about .70 years of aee.

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. Tuesday's.

The crim inal cases will occupy the time of the court for Several davs. Several attor neys of The Dalles are in attendance. The Mckinley club met Friday even ing and gathered strength for the coming campaign. The council chambers were well filled with members, the leading Republicans of the county being on hand to assist by words and their pree ence, the work of Kepublican organ ization. ; After the minutes of tbe previous meeting were read by the secretary, H H. Riddel), the president stated ' why the meeting had been called to con eider the ways and means for doing good work for the Republican party in the coming campaign-. . Mr. . W. H Wilson started the ball rolling in an en thusiastic ten-minute speech, and was followed by Mr. M. T. Nolan, who in fused life into the meeting., by his well delivered remarks. . Mr. B. S. Hunting ton was the next speaker and continued the good work begun by the other gentle men. Mr. M. A. Moody pledged his efforts to assist in making the McKinley club a factor in bringing success to the Republi can ticket. Mavor Menefee made an earnest speech on the necessity of speedy organization. Good speeches were made by Hugh Gourlay, W. H. Butts. Albert Roberts of Deschutes, Troy Shelley of Hood River and H. H. Riddell. The speeches were all marked by earnestness and as was said during the evening, Wasco Republicans do not have to go outside the couty for good material for campaign speaking. 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. ."India," though separated fromns by vast waters and continents, is none the less a great nation. It will be interest ing to study its old civilization and com pare itB present development with our own. Mrs. E. W. Allen will tell of its people and custons tonight, accompanied by fitting stereopticon views. In the Oregonian's amusement column today appears the following, taken from its criticism of tbe Spanish Students : Edna and Eva Taylor, two bright, hand some little girls, who made such a hit in "Fatinitza," again scored a success last.nigb.t with their dancing, being re called, for which they gave the cocoanut dance, with calcium-light effects. ' Jim Crate eluded the vigilance of the marshal yesterday and escaped." While 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, and when the officers catch bim next time he will probably wear an iron cr nament. Mrs. E. W. Allen of Portland, who will lecture this evening at the Congre gational : churck on the subject of L "India," will, have a great deal to Bay of Interest pertaining to - that far-away corner of the'world. To impress it the more fully on the mind, the lecture will be illustrated by stereopticon views, gaid to be the finest instrument in the state and handled by one of the most skillful operators. .

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. enthusiasm. ' -A well-prepared and 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.

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. Pendleton, March 9. Thomas G, naiiey, anti-A. r. A. candidate, was elected echool director today by a ma jority of ten in a total vote of 370. . IN EUGENE DIFFERENT. Eugene, Or., March 9. An exciting school election brought out about 85C votes and resulted in tbe choice of C. S. Frank, the A. P. A. candidate, by a ma jority of 130 over G. B. Dorrie, the op position candidate. Liberty Ball. 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.

In a Cliff Near the City and Baa Many Visitors. y The polls for the school election opened at 2 o'clock p. m. at the office of Wm. Michell yesterday. Voting continued lively during the entire afternoon, and when the polls closed at 6 o'clock there were yet a few stragglers who made their appearence to vote, but were prevented by the hour having expired. " More than the usual number of ladies werent yes terday. The total vote amounted to 327. The several candidates and their vote is as follows : fob director. Adams 218 Barnett ..: .106 for clerk. Jacobsen 198 Kraus 129 MAJORITIES. Adams ..112 Jacobsen . . . .- 69 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. ' When Baby was sick, we gave her Castoria. When she was a Child, she cried for Castoria. . When she became Miss, she clung to Castoria, - When she had Children, she gave them Castoria, 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. Another Bad Man Mistaken. A FAMILY EPISODE. A Wife Swaps Her Hashand and Chil dren for Ber Guest and ills Children. Subscribe get the news, 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."
