they return them in good condition by

niper poles of the required height are
very scarce and valuable, but Mr. Gil

resign bis pastorate of the First BaptiBt
church in Portland, and will preach his
last sermon on Easter Sunday. He will
then take a prolonged trip through the
T"wild country of the British Northwest,

desired to visit; thence he goes to Chi
cago, and afterward to the East.
Mr. and Mrs. Judge Bradshaw enter
tained the wbist club last evening. Mr.
Houghton and Mrs. Crosson won
the first and second respectively. The
weekly meetings of the whist club
never wane in interest, and even the all
absorbing topic of the county Republi
can convention did not detract from its
attendance. One of the club's famous
banquets was a part of last night's pro
gram, and, as usual, was the most
pleaeant number.

make this change.

8 o'clock to consider the Fossil road
proposition. This is one of the most im
portant matters that is likely to come
before the club the present season. All j
prospective fields for business must be
looked after if The Dalles is to rise to
that commercial importance which be
longs to her by right of topographical
and geographical position. The Dalles
should control the trade of that entire
region' of country bounded by the Cas
. cades on the weet, the Prineville region
. in the south, a large portion of Sherman
county to the east and of Klickitat on the
' north. The ripest fruit to pluck just
now is the Fossil region, and there is
little doubt the Commercial Club will
take the necessary steps to do so.

action upon the Fossil road project,

made in our columns heretofore. There
will, doubtless, be a full attendance of
the club.

The committee on order of business
presented a majority and minority re
port. The majority report was signed
by G. W. Johnston, F. E. Bronson and
N.T. Sinnott, and recommended that
first the state and congressional delega
tions be elected, and the county ticket
be next taken up from the lowest office
to the highest. The minority report
was exactly opposite that the county
ticket be first selected, commencing with
office of sheriff and down to coroner, and
follow with the state delegation. This
report was signed by W. H. H. Dufur
and E. J. Husky. Spirited arguments
were made bv the adherents of betb re
ports. Those speaking in favor of the
majority, report were Messrs. Nolan,
Gourlay, Anderson and Isenberg, while
the adoption of the minority report was
urged by Mr. WH. H. Dufur and J. A.
Soesbe.' Being put to a vote of the con
vention, the majority report was
adopted.
Agreeably to this finding, a motion
was made that the chair appoint four
delegates from the convention to confer
with Mr. Moody in regard to the dele
gates who should be selected for the con-
and a second ballot being spread, Phill
ips received the nomination. The vote
was, Phillips 44, Michell 26, Jacobsen 1
For sheriff Thos. Driver and F. C,
Sexton were nominated. The vote re
suited Driver 49, Sexton 23, and Driver
was declared the unanimous choice of
the convention.
For clerk, Mr. A. M. Kelsay and Mr,
H. C. Rooper were placed in nomina
tion. The first and only ballot resulted,
Kelsay 42, Rooper 29

F. D. Kiiusey of Antelope was selected
commissioner.
This completed the county ticket,
After the commissioner bad been chos
en by the convention, a motion was
made that it was the sense of the con
vention that Mr. A. S. Blowers of Hood
River be requested to withdraw his res
ignation as county commissioner, which
was carried.
A second motion was made that in the
event Mr. Blowers insisted upon Lis res
ignation the county central committee
be authorized to name a candidate to be
placed upon the Republican ticket to
fill the vacancy. This was also carried.
Nominations for justices of the peace
constables and central committeemen
followed. Those of the country cannot
be ascertained at present, owing to the
absence of the secretary and his min
utes, but the justice selected for The
Dalles district was Mr. G. J. Farley, and
Julius Wiley constable. Committee
men East Dalles, Frank Gabel ; Bige

West Dalles, T. A. Hudson ; chairman

son, with authority to select a secretary.
A iece8S of fifteen minutes was then
voted to allow the precincts to select
justices, constables and central com
mitteemen.
After recess they were reported. The
committee on resolutions tpen verbally
reported that it was the sense of the
convention that matters of policy be left
to the state and national conventions,
having a firm faith that they would con
serve the best interests of the country.
The convention then .adjourned sine

Hope for ConaamptlTee.
Dr. O. C. Hollister has 1 been trying
the aseptolin treatment for consumption
on three patients residing in this city.
This is the latest medical diecovery, by
Dr. Cyrus EJson, which has filled the
medical journals of late, and has even
taken much of the news space of our
daily press. It is too recent a discovery
to claim that it is a positive cure for the
dread disease, but it is noted that the
distressing symptoms accompanying
tuberculosis disappear soon after the
treatment commences, -provided the
patient has not reached what is known
as the third and lat stage of consump
tion. In the cases under charge of Dr.
Hollister, theilght sweats and diarrhoea
have ceased, and the cough has nearly
disappeared. The aseptolin is a color
less liquid, used bypodermically, from
twenty to sixty drops being injected in
the abdomen. These local cases will be
followed with interest, as thev are the
f first so far as known to be treated with
the newly-discovered medicine. If a
cure can be effected, it should become
apparent ten days hence.
DIED.
Peter Gremaud died at 4 o'clock yes
terday afternoon from apoplexy at his
place on Mill creek, about eight miles
from the city.
He was inv his usual health until 8
o'clock, when he suffered the .stroke
which resulted in his death. He leaves
a wife, but no children, and was a well-to-do
rancher and an old resident of
Wasco county. "
tion were invited to a grand Republican
rally at 8 o'clock Saturday evening, and
the invitation was accepted. The meet
ing was under the auspices of the Mc
Kinley club, of which Mr. F. W. Wilson
is president, and that gentleman pre
sided. The. hall was filled with dele
gates and Republicans from both the
city and county. Mr. Cooke of Hood
River set the ball rolling by a ridic
ulously funny burlesque speech on the
coinage question. This speech had the
effect of putting everyone in good humor
and anxious for the solids to follow.
Mr. M. P. Isenberg next gave a charac
teristic speech, abounding in good Re
publican doctrine, forcibly expressed.
Mr. John Michell followed with au able
expose of the Republican attitude on
the tariff and coinage questions. Mr. M.
A. Moody was next called upon for a
speech. He responded briefly, thank
ing the delegates who voted in his in
terests at the convention just past. Mr.
B. S. Huntington then made a very ap
propriate and witty speech, followed by
Mr. Huch Gourlay in one of his felicitous
efforts. This rally, the first after the
convention, gives the Republican part
of the campaign an impetus that will
gain strength as time, advances and re
sult in an overwhelming victory at the
polls next June. The delegates present
were in splended humor to accept the
invitation given at the close of the meet
ing by the Commercial Club to enjoy
the hospitality of the club rooms, and
nearly all availed themselves of the
kindness. They were soon thereafter
entertaining themselves in a jolly man
ner at the bowling alley and other
points of interest at the club. I
One of the most unusual, yet delight
ful, church entertainments was tbs
Brownies Saturday night at the Bald
win. It attracted a house full of people.
who took no note of time, because they
were pleased to the last fall of the cur-
tain. The chief Bource of 1 interest, of
couse, were the Brownies themselves,
who appeared eight times daring the
even:ng. When the curtain rose for
their first appearance and they filed la
through the wings and began a fantastic
march, the lights being turned down in
the auditorium, they seemed to people a
fairy world, apart from the practical one
just before them, an elf-land where the
unexpected was to be expected, capable
of all sorts of hobgoblin-antics, such as
are gleaned from nursery lore or the re
ality of a childish dream. This experi
ence was enhanced by the Brownies act
ing entirely in pantomime. There were
nearly thirty of them, little people with
fat stomachs, gaily costumed, and flit
ting among each other with a central
purpose, yet no concerted manner of at
taining it. Once only after the arrival
chorus did they use their voices, the
Brownies at singing school, but the
combined product of sound, as might
have been expected, was a Babel of
noise, yet not noisy, no two having the
same key or saying the same words, if
indeed they were words at all. Very
comical was the Brownies at the polls,
imitating the action of their elders with
all their earnestness and conflicting in
terests. The baby Brownie was Alden New
man, 3 years old. Of about the same
size, but a year older, was Gilbert Kelly.
These two midgets did not exhibit the
least embarrassment, and kept the au
dience laughing with ttheir natural and
inimitable antics.
The numbers between the appearance
of the Brownies were very satisfactorily
given. Especially worthy of comment
were the solos by Miss Aldrich, the eu
phonium solo by Mr. J. G. Miller and
the recitations by Miss Vandersal, and
they were compelled to respond to m- .
thusiastic encores, w
The entertainment will be repeated
this evening, with some changes in the
musical program and a different recita
tion by Miss Vandersal, as there were
many who were prevented from attend
ing Saturday evening by other engage
ments. . .

The evening of March 20th was the oc
casion of a pleasant gathering at Rev. J.
T. Merrill's. Some of his , numerous)
friends in Dufur made a . forcible en
trance into bis quiet dwelling, surpris
ing the good man and his family beyond
expectations. Each visitor carried
articles of value and usefulness, and
from a wagon at the door came larger
and weightier articles, which contribute
to the enjoyment of life in this world.
After a few words of thanks and greeting
from Mr. Merrill, Mr. Hinman, in be
half of the people of Dufur, presented
him with a goodly double handful of
dollars and half dollars. Mr. Andrew1
Dufur was called upon for a speech and
responded with remarks indicative of
the regard in which Mr, Merrill is held
by the people of Dufur. Mr. Merrill ap
preciates these evidences of respect and
regard and desires to thank the people
of Dufur for their kindness.
