The most severe sand storm of the
season occurred yesterday between
Wallula and Grants. For a distance of
several miles the sand formed along the
track fora depth of from six inches to
three feet. All trains were delayed,

because- of the new fences.
White Salmon river is ruined for a
driving stream. A boom gave way dur
ing the winter, floating a short distance
below the narrows, where there is a
large waterfall, and lodging. This boom
is composed of logs firmly bolted to
gether, and has formed the foundation
for gathering and holding drift of all
kinds. Logs and huge trees have float
ed in and so interlaced together that it
is estimated it would take ten carloads
of dynamite to remove the obstruction.

San the Wrong Show.
A small boy of The Dalles worked
hard all day and got together 15 cents to
see the ourang outang, which has been
on exhibition at the opera house for sev
eral days. He was in a perfect fever of
anticipation, and when he entered the
door was so intent upon' being delighted
that he looked neither to the right or
left, but supposing the show was in the
opera house proper, passed through the
room where it really was, opened a door
which communicates with the main hall,
and went in through the wings of the
stage and dressing rooms where the
"Spanish Students" were preparing to
give their entertainment, down the stage
stairs, and took a. front parquet seat
where he could get a good view. He
listened through the two hours of mu
sical entertainment, ever looking for the
introduction of the ourang outang, but
the nearest to any gymnastic antics he
observed was the dancing of the Taylor
sisters, and he -was disappointed. He
went away puzzled and outdone. When
he went home his parents asked him
how he liked the ourang outang,
"Weil," says the boy, "1 got it wrong
some way. I seen the whole show, and
if there was any ourang outang about it
I don't know where it came in. 'Peared
to me like it was just a drama of some
kind."
St. Patrick's Day. ,
C. A. Curtisa is the name of a relig
ions zealot who has been expounding 8
peculiar doctrine on our streets for some
nights past. He makes some very
startling announcements from a religious
point of view, and are given publication
because, of' tneir extreme oddity. For
instance, he said last night Jesua was
not Christ until he was baptised in the
river Jordan ; that He was purely hu
man until the epirit descended upon
him like a dove, when he became divine.
There is an nnconventionality with all
established forms of religion in the
above statement that is eimply auda
cious. Again he preaches universal sal
vation for all souls and spirits. He
cl.'iims that this belief may be obtained
by the simply reading of the word of
God, as ia the fact with all of his tenets.
Regarding universal salvation his theory
is that all who die go first to hell (the
grave); the spirit then comes to the
grave, takes up the soul ana goes to
heaven. Everlasting damnation or for
ever, as used in the mole, means
a limited time. lie finds there are living
144.000 sons of God who will not die,
therefore will not go to hell. He ex
pects to be one of these 144,000 if he
keeps the faith. Asked if he gained
many converts, he said no: he did not
expect only about one in every 3,000,
He would therefore expect one in The
Dalles, one in Pendleton, and about ten
in fceattle. This proportion, it contin
ued, would just about make the 144,000
sons ot tiod. lie does not expect any
immediate results in The Dalles, and
therefore cannot be discouraged. If the
public.does not volunteer enough finan
cial support to carry him and his little
boy, who is traveling with him, the
leaders of the eociety, or church, or
whatever it may be, carry them alone
until they go broke. He claims that he
is fulfilling the 22d chapter of Matthew
by bis nightly talks on the street cor
ners of The Dalles. The name of the
church is the New and Latter House of
Israel, which has had an autonomy since
1830. Its headquarters in the United
States is Grand Rapids, and in the
world London, England.
There is a novelty about this Curtiss
and his teachings which attracts atten
tion. He said among other things,
'Anyone can know God by reading
the first chapter of John," and that
the 15th chapter of Acts contains the
only laws for the Gentile world between
the lids of 4he Bibie. It seems that he
writes and dedicates a poem to every
city in' which he works. The Chbom-
cle todav gives publication to the ones
intended for Pendleton and The Dalles,
the first time they have ever appeared
in print:
PENDLETON.

large, all who attended were well repaid
for bo doing. The members of the
troupe are, without exception, masters
in their rule. The first number was by
the full orchestra, a very brilliant selec
tion rendered with the most facile ex
pression, the music changing at a touch
from rapid and bold to soothing or
plaintive. The first violin and cello
would make a beautiful duet in them
selves. However the addition of the
guitar and mandolin served to complete
and accentuate the melody. Jack
Myers has a very full and rich baritone
voice, and last night he was in prime
condition. D. C. Rosebrook is a leading
cornetist and his difficult solo provoked
much favorable comment. The Taylor
sisters executed some very neat dances.
The elder sister is a very pretty sonbrette
and her abilities as an actress were also
shown in the farce which followed the
musical program. vRay Youngman
proved himself to be a master of the
banjo, as well as the possessor of a fine I
tenor voice. Altogether the "Spanish
acuaents" are a weii-Daianced company
and deserves the success it will un
doubtedly achieve. The entertainment
will be repeated tonight with an entire
change of program.
Mr. Bradley's Defense.
Many citizens of The Dalles wore
the green today, in memory of Ireland's
patron saint, Patrick. A. M. Williams
& Co. gave away 250 emblems of the day
before 12 o'clock to those who responded
to the advertisement in The Chronicle,
and they. Were called for and worn by
representatives of nearly all shades of
belief. The day has been celebrated in
a quiet manner, much like the celebra
tion of an ordinary American holiday.

Friends, there are troubles soon to appear;
There will be weeping; also great fear.
Soon Revelations, chapter 13,
Will be f ullilled, friends, plainly 'tis seen.
In great affliction, with all their might,
Will all the nations make war and fight.
Great tribulations, sorrow and strife;
Son against daughter; man against wife;

After the plagues are over;
After the strife is past,
Israel then will be joyful,
Reigning with Christ at last,.
Come and join their number,
Come and be one that's blest.
Take on the yoke of Jesus;
njoy His rest.

The Oregonian of yesterday contains
the following neat endorsement of
Dallea Oity's school clerk, Mr. E.
Jacobsen :
Among the novel arguments the vari
ous school campaigns throughout the
state have brought out, none is more
unique than one furnished by The
Dalles. Within three years 380 names
have been added to the list of those
who draw school money in The Dalles
school district. This would indicate an
increase in the population of the district
of about 1500, but there has been no ench
increase in the population, hence the
additional names added to. the list
must be attributed to the efficiency of the
clerk who made the last three enumer
ations. The per capita apportionment
of state and county school money is
about $5 per year, so the addition of 3S0
names means an addition of $1,900 to
the school funds. of the district. The
man who did all this, pro bono publico,
it was argued, should be vindicated at
the polls. It is gratifying to learn,
therefore, that the school clerk of The
Dalles district was re-elected by a hand
some majority.
"Spanish Students."
Though the house which greeted the
"Spanish Students" last night was not
Mr. Darwin Bradley, mention of whose
marriage to Mrs. Minnie Angel was
made in JThe Cbbo.nicle a few days ago,
called at the effice on Saturday, and de
eires a few words said in palliation or
explanation of his late matrimonial
venture. While denying none of the
essential facts aa stated in the issue
of March 10th, he deplores the coloring
in which they are given, as leading to a
wrongful interpretation, when not taken
in connection with other points of the
brief family history which led to the
marriage last week.
Mr. Bradley says the divorce did not
arise from any suspicion on the part of
Mr. Angel of unfaithfulness; thqt there
bad been domestic trouble for years be
tween Mr. and Mrs. Angel, and the di
vorce would havd resulted if she had
never known Bradley.. The latter says
that Mr. Angel and himself were always
the best of friends, and are to this day.
The Bradley1 family had lived in another
house, on the farm, for which be regu
larly paid rent, and in that house Mrs.
Bradley died. - He eays it is true he has
been in bard circumstances, but that
it was bis intention to pay his obliga
tions to the last dollar. He says, also,
that there has been a great deal of un
founded talk, or gossip, concerning bis
relations with Mrs. Angel. He brands
it all as falsehood, and resolved by mar
rying Mrs. Angel and taking np bis resi
dence in The Dalles, to live down the
bad name so gratuitously given him, in
stead of running off to other fields, He
did not become engaged to Mrs. Bradley
nntil after the divorce was granted
January 15th. The engagement was by
letter, both agreeing that the best course
to pursue in the matter was to become
married and settle down in the comma
nity where they had been defamed and
live it down by a life of unimpeachable
integrity. The marriage so soon, Mr,
Bradley says, ia by force of chance.
When Mrs. Angel arrived from Silver-
ton her coming was in the interest of
getting two of her children, which the
court allowed her the custody of. She
did not appear in defense ol the divorce
euit, and Angel was granted the .divorce
by default. But after arriving, Bradley
sought her, telling her of the scandalous
talk going around concerning them, and,
acting upon the advice of friends who
recommended him to become married at
once, he urged her to do so. She agreed

Republican Club's Good Work,
t
A large number of Republicans met in
the council chambers Saturday evening
to be present at the McKinley club
meeting. This club bids fair to bean
active element in the coming campaign,
and its membership is increasing very
fast. A spirit of good will and fellow
ship ia apparent among Republicans
thia year that will make them a mighty
engine of reform. Prominent in the
work are the Republican clubs of the
country under the various names they
adopt of promimect American Republi
cans. And prominent in The .Dalles is
the McKinley club. At the Saturday
night meeting many good speeches were
made.- It was decided by a vote of 9 to
7 that a rally be held tho night before
the county convention, at which the
country delegates are invited. A motion
was also carried that hereafter no in
itiation fee w ill be charged for member
ship in the club. . - -

Campbell.-Endersby. ill-dw2w
W. A. Burt Campbell is a hunter and
trapper of many years' experience in
Wasco county. Many trophies of the
chase adorn residences and business
houses of The Dalles which are from
wild, animals killed by Mr. Campbell
He invariably receives county scrip for
bounties at every session of the county
court, and prizes every fall from the fair
association. Yesterday be had a most
unusual experience, and one which has
probably never before been duplicated
While making the rounds of his traps be
came npon one about 3 o'clock in the
afternoon which held a coyote. The ani
mal watched Mr. Campbell's approach
without fear, and indeed tugged at its
chain in the effort to reach Lira. When
within about fifty feet, the coyote suc
ceeded in extricating his foot, and in
stead of fleeing, made for the trapper,
determined npon giving him battle.
Campbell was so thoroughly surprised
he stood motionless waiting its approach.
No one ever' before heard of a coyote
that would attack a man under any cir
cumstances, and Campbell supposed it
would surely turn and run before reach
ing him. But not so. The coyote soon
reached Mr. Campbell and fiercely at
tacked him. As it jumped for him be
threw an arm around its neck and tried
to strangle it. The animal proved too
strong for these tactics and Campbell
loosed bis hold with one hand in order
to get a knife from his pocket. While
doing this the coyote bit him on
the leg, through a pair of chap
para'jos (shaps), If it had not
been for the leather garment the
wound-would have been much more
severe. But Campbell had now got his
knifd out and quickly cloeed the battle
by plunging it repeatedly in his ribs,
and cutting his throat. He at once
came to town and had the wound
drebsed. Mr. Campbell will probably
save that pelt as memorable of the only
coyote fight ever recorded it trappers
history.

fit of the needy.
Another Old Pluneer Oone.
The town of Dufur was considerably
astir yesterday, because of a trial taking
place within its precincts. On the
night of February 15th, while some resi
dents of school district No. 20 were con
ducting the meeting of a literary society
at the Liberty school house, the build
ing received a sudden shock aa if it were
struck by a large object from the out
side. Investigation- proved thia to be
the case and a large oak lying upon the
ground showed what had been used.
The directors of the district made efforts
to discover who had done the deed and
finally complaints were sworn out
against Frank" Coculine and John
Mason, charging them with being the
perpetrators. The trial occurred yester
day and its progress caused considerable
interest, as all parties were well known
in the community.' Deputy Diet. Atty
Phelp3 conducted the prosecution, while
M. J. Anderson of Dufur pleaded the
cause of the defendants. At the con
clusion of the evidence and arguments,
the jury, after due deliberation, re
turned a verdict of gnilty. Justice
Brigham imposed a $10 fine npon each
Qf the defendants, taxing them also with
the cost.
Woman's Relief Corps.
A most enj jvable event of past week
was the entertainment given Satnrdav
evening by the .Woman's Relief Corps.
At an early hour the hall was filled with
young and old. . The prorame was not
only carried out as published to the sat
isfaction ot all, but additions were made
to it that ronndea out a delightful even
ing. Mrs. Alice Vamey presided.
Miss Georgia Sampson rendered a de
lightful piano solo. The Misses Edna
Van Dyke and Pearl Jones gave a duet,
while Nellie and Lora McHaley contrib
uted with sweet childish voices a war
song. The recitation by Miss Jennie
Russell : was N warmly applauded.
"Asleep at the Switch" by Wm. Ras
mus emphasized his ability to depict
tragedy, pathos and humor, for the reci
tation abounded in all these. The read
ing by Mrs. Phillips and recitation by
Masters Webb Varney and ' Walter
Reevia waa well received. A beautiful
News was received in this city today
of the death of Cdl. James Fulton at hi
home at Des Chutes. He died at 3
o'clock Sunday morning.
-Col. Fulton would have been SO1 years
old had he lived until tomorrow. ' Ha
waa one of the very oldest of Oregon,
pioneer?, having come to the state in
1845, settling in Yamhill county. In
1S49 he went to California during the
gold excitement, returning to Oregon
with considerable wealth, gained by bis
succees in the gold fields. He removed
to Wasco county in 1838, and haa lived
here ever eince. He laid out Fulton's
addition to The Dalles, and the old
house where he used to reside yet
stands, but a little back from its former
position. For many years it waa the
only house npon the bluff. He also laid
out the town of Fultonville, in Wasco
county, and the orchards which lie
planted are vigorous and flourishing.
Col. Fulton was an old Indian war vet
eran and commanded a company at
Yakima, which did valiant service in
the early struggles with savage toes. Her
was also prominent in political life, hav
ing been a member of the Oregon leg;-,
islature in earlier yearj.
His children are James Fulton, David
Fulton and Frank Fulton of Sherman
county, one of whom is county judge
-and the others prominent stockraisers
of the county. Miss Anna Fulton and
Mrs. Isaac Scholl are daughters, also
