Dufur Dis patch. It is no secret in Portland that large booths are fitted up for hobos, who in return for two meals a day and lodging, sign a contract to stay in Portland until June 1st to vote a certain ticket.

Fortunately no serious in juries resulted from the fall, but the lady was considerably frightened. Dufur Dispatch. The weather has been cool and cloudy, and the river is yet at a very low stage for this time of year. An unusually high water is certain, though few believe it will approach the height of 1894. Mr. DeHuff does not believe the road-bed is endangered, though looking for very high water. A sudden and continned spell of warm weather would precipitate a vast volume of water from the Snake and upper Columbia, and there is no telling what height the river would at tain. Monday's Daily.

A few days ago The Chbonicle spoke of a man who had lain next to the track, with his bead on the rail, and escaped without injury. Today the Oregoniah reports the finding of hi? rody. His in juries must have fscsped the hasty ex amination made by the trainmen, and his apparent stupor irorri drunkenness would have been the tame from the blow received by the train. . The name of the man ' was M. M. Brummet, evidently of St. Paul, Marion countv. The body was not discovered until yes terday morning, when the engineer" bt No. 1, coming west, about 7 o'clock, saw what he thought was a man lying asleep alongside the track. He reported the fact at Troutdale, and the section boss, on going to the place, louna tne man dead, and also cold and stiff, showing that he had been dead many hours. The remains were; taken on a handcar to Troutdale, and Coroner Cornelius tele graphed for. , An examination of the body showed the face cut open from the nose up diagonally across the left eye, and the skull crushed, the result of a blow from the sharp edge of the cow catcher on the locomotive. The rest of the body was intact, without even a bruise, and the jury's and ' coroner's conclusions were that Brnmmet, who was under the in fluence of liquor, had lain down outside of the track, which sloped off, with his head resting on the track, in which posi tion, and being drunk, he fell into a deep sleep, and was a ready victim for the enirine when thundering along in the night at a 45-mile gait. lfcr. De liennet's Lecture. The illustrated lecture on Russia last night was very entertaining and in structive, as previously promised. "The Heart oi Russia" is Moscow and the veiws were principally taken from that citv. The chief buildings, of interest were the Kremlin and church of St Basil, the latter the most fantastic and gaudy colored in existence. The archi tect was an Italian whose eyes were put out by Ivan the Terrible tor fear he would design a handsomer one. The Kremlin was the former palace of the emperor, surrounded by sixteen miles of walls of masonry, twenty feet high and nineteen feet thick. The great need of Rushih is railroads. The lecturer drew a contrast hetween the politics of Russia and the United States. Towns and com m unities select their own mayor and other officers by ballot, and not by ap pnintnient as generally supposed. ' Dr. De Knnet said that while in America a man would spend $10,000 to secure a $3 000 office, in Russia it was hard to induce a man to take an office, and had to he coaxed and fluttered a good deal befoie he would accept the nomination The cause of I his is there is no salary at tached to Russian municipal offices. In like manner there are higher assemblies of the people who select judges and at' tend to governmental affairs much like our statejegielatures. The religion of Russisi is the Greek church, resembling the Roman Catholic in some respects, bat there are four principal points of difference. The Eus sian church does not admit nor recog nize- the temporal power of the pope; the priests must be married men instead of celibates ; the churches have no seats ; and the choirs are all composed of 'men. Over the principal door which leads to the Kremlin is a statue of Jesus, and no living man o. this earth may go through that door without removing his hat, be he monarch or plebeian.' Avery good likeness of the present emperor, JNickolaus II, and -the empress was shown. Nickolaus was described by the lecturer as being the beet of emperors, the least autocratic, enterprising, and well loved by his 120,000,000 subjects, Leaving Russia, Dr. De Kannet pro duced an excellent likeness of the Mid winter fair, which be treated with mar velous mechanical effects in lighting, coloring, etc., the whole dissolving into patch of magnificent clouds, colored with all the accuracy of nature. There were also some excellent Columbia river views, which drew forth the admiration of the audience. The entertainment con cluded with a magnificent allegorical picture of Columbia bearing the, flag of our country, prefaced by the remark. I will now show you a flag which never saw defeat." Burglars at Hood River. The stores of A. S. Blowers & Co. and R. Rand & Son were burglarized last Saturday night. Blowers' store was broken into by prying off the outside lock with a pick. Nothing was taken from this store, so far as could be no ticed. The cash drawer was found to be empty, and it is presumed money was what they wanted. At Rand's store they carried off the cash register, and taking it over to E. L. Smith's barn, bureted it open add secared $1.85. The tools used by the burglars were secured bv first breaking into John E. Nickel- sen's blacksmith shop. The Joys of Birthdays. Last Saturday a few of the many friends of Mrs. Crossen', remembering that it was the anniversary of her birth day, planned and carried out for her a surprise that was a successful one. ' The ladies assembled at Mrs. Crossen's resi dence at 3 o'clock, and spent a very merry four hours in games, singing, and in lingering at the table over the discus sion of a sumptuous luncheon. Mirth and merriment reigned supreme, and to the casual listener at any one moment it seemed as if parliamentary rules were erriitrhed ; to smithereens during that afternoon, for at no timewas the floor occupied: by less than Beven speakers. Mrs. .Crossen ' received her second sur prise when there arrived tfnandsome cherry ar?d leather rocker, which her friends present had designed as a souve nir for "her of this nleasant day. All present Toted that birthday par ties : were the very best of all, and a count was made of the variousjguesta' birthdays to see where the next anni versary celebration should be held. It was acknowledged to be one of the short est afternoons ever spent by Mrs. Rin nott, Mrs. Lytle, Mrs. Thornbury, Mrs. Bradshaw, Mrs. Glenn, Mrs. Crowe, Mrs. W. H. Wilson, Mrs. Hudson, Mrs. Kinersly, Mrs. Fish, Mrs. Peters and Mrs. Hobson. . ' A PATHETIC REQUEST. Sir. and air. Campbell's Dying Child Wanted to so With Mamma. The funeral of Josephine Campbell occurred Sunday at the Episcopal church. She was aged 5 years, 4 months and 7 days. The-parents are yet stran gers in our community, and the funeral was not largely attended. Their advent into our community is a sad one. About two weeks ago Dr. T. F. Campbell and wife, and their little daughter arrived in Portland, en route for The Dalles, where the doctor proposed to take up his rest dence. The family put up at the Barr I hotel on (rlisan street, and soon after lit tle Josephine was taken very sick. Her ailment developed into brain fever, re suiting fatally. The child realized that she was dving. She knew that she would not long remain here, so she said to her mother: "Mamma, please do not let me stay here after I'm dead. I want to go with you." The pathos of that appeal must have greatly intensified the grief of that heart broken mother, and little Josephine's dving request was granted. The last sad page of the chapter was the funeral yes terday. . Little Josephine was always an inter esting child, beloved by everyone and the very idol of her parents hearts. At the age of 4 she read in the newspapers and wrote letters to her friends in the East. She was bright and beautiful and to all appearances of good constitution Her fatal illness is believed to have been superinduced for some weeks by typhoid infection, by measles and by cutting permanent teeth. Travel, change of climate, even the sea voyage was taken for her and with much apparent benefit. Besting at Portland over Sunday she was taken seriously ill. All that skill and loring care could do was hers. Four of Portland's leading physicans and her father gave every possible attention. Though the blow was lightened little Josephine seems to have been called to go. She passed away peacefully to her rest Thursday, May 7, at six in the even ing. She was interred on Sunday, yes' terdav, at The Dalles with the beauti ful burial service of the Episcopal church, surrounded by friends and flo ral offerings. Her parents have the sympathy of all. A Sister's Inquiry. The following letter has been received by the postmaster and referred to us for publication. It is a touching inquiry from an only sister, directed to an only brother, informing him of the death of their father. The letter is dated Ash- boro, Indiana : Dear Sib Will yon please inform me if you know where, James Jameson is If be is there will you let me know. He is my brother, and all the living relative I have. 1 have been writing to bim, but cannot get an answer. I -am bis only sister and would be so glad to hear Ironi him. it you know where be is, tell him that pur father died the 17th of April, and I am so lonely without some one in this big world to call iriend. . J. think if you have a little sister you would be glad to hear from her. If he is not there, will you trv to nnd out where he is. . I will be bo thankful to yon. I know that he was there some time ago. I will look for an answer from you. Let me know as soon as you get this, and if he is there give bim this letter. . I remain yours with respest, Mabtha J. Tbibbls. He Knows Crittenton. The following is taken from a letter; written by a gentleman in Eureka, Cal., to a friend in The Dalles concerning Mr. Crittenton, the evangelist, and his work. He says : 'We had him here last year. He will do your churches no harm. He has no axes to grind outside of saving the lost. He is no proselyter and has no selfish ends to gain ; sincere and earnest not a sermonizer, but a pleasant talker. ' All churches here united in general services in the armory ball, the largest in the city, and the effect was good on all the churches. He is independent financially and otherwise. ' He is no beggar and is not embarrassed by mixing up money with the more needful things of the soul. I wish he would come again. Here he took rooms at a hotel like a commercial traveler, because he wanted, to receive calls and feel free to invite everybody to his room. He is one of a thousand neb, and is spending his fortune in Beeking and saving the lost. I hope he will be much blessed in The Dalles." For Bent. cottage. Inquire A 4-room of A. Keller.

Another Secret and Exclusive Organiza tion la Oar Midst. Of all the unique and exclusive clubs in the city, that known among a certain class of boys in The Dalles as the "Dirty Dozen" club stands unrivalled in its claBS. They have an organization, with all the advantages of autonomy, a club house and set of rules, to promote their pleasure, apart from the fcrutiuyof the world, and uninterrupted by parental eolicitude or the vigilance of the city and county officers. In fact some of its members ure eons of some of these offi cials. Their quarters were unearthed yesterday in an unexpected way. While hunting for a roll of blankets, which was taken from a camper under the D. P. & A. N. Co.'s wharf, an offi cer entered a shabbily constructed Bhack on the bank of the slough below the China garden, and there were the blankets, spread out on the floor, and a couple of boys lying- on them smoking cigarettes. Others were about, talking smoking and reading. They regarded his entrance as an intrusion, and for moment it looked as if he was going to be thrown into the slough, but the boys luckily did not uee extreme measures, and the officer was even permitted to leave with the blankets. The club contains no bowling alley or gymnastic apparatus as yet, but the library is well stocked with such tales of adventure as "Ten Buckets of Blood, or a Boy's Eevenge," "Dick Dead Eye, the Blind Scout," "Nosebag Gallagher, the Terror of. the Black Hills." "The Maiden's Escape, or the Keyhole in the Door," etc. Here the boys have chewed and smoked and told vulgar yarns, and read hair breadth escapes. played cards and gambled to their un bounded delight for no one knows how long, but if their rendezvous is not broken up soon by the officers, the high water ill do the work. Another foot or two and it will enter their den, and as ooys hate nothing so bad as water, they will be compelled to abandon it. Whether they will remove and carry on their club at another place, or tempo rarily disband is not known. The boys' club is a first-class place to breed in cipient vice and it should be attended to. HE SAVED THE BOY. John Todd, of This Cltv, jDrownlne; Lad. Rescues Mr. John Todd, of this city, did a very heroic and courageous action a few days ago, saving a life at the old Graves' ferry at the risk of his own. A youth whose name is unfortunately not known at this time, started to cross the John Day river at the ferry operated by Mr. Clarno, in a row boat. A cable is stretched across the river and the young man attempted to cross above the cable. The boat drifted down to it and was cap sized by it, throwing its occupant out who grasped the cable. The current kept continually pressing him under, and he only tried to keep bis hold. Todd was looking out the window of Clamo's at the time, dressed in a heavy overcoat ROLL OF HONOR.

His strength then de serted him, and he fell fainting on the bank. When he revived his brain waa temporarily affected, and when found he was crawling around over the sand on all fours. He has probably by this time fully recovered. This is one of the fev Instances outside of fiction of a heroic deed, calling for su preme strength, fortitude and nerve worthy of a giant.
