Pease & Mays a short time ago issued a grocery catalogue, printing a mam moth edition of 5,000 copies. They are now preparing - for circulation a dry goods catalogue and an equally large edition. The two catalogues do not yet cover the field of their wares, for they are a mercantile institution of great magnitude, covering almost every known ' want bf mankind. Rev. W. C. Curtis exhibited to us to day an 1871 dollar, called by this gener ation "the dollar of our daddies," which is now a rare coin, and worth consider ably more than 100 cents, from its value by coin coHectors. , Judge Northup, in bis speech a few days ago, said he had seen but three in his life. Mr. Curtis' dollar is one his eon cut his teeth upon. That son, who is now at Williams col lege Mass., ca6ts his first vote the com ing November. Monday's Daily. Circuit court began today.

A bunch of keys, also a white silk handkerchief with monogram on the corner, was found yesterdav, and mav be regained by the owner at this office, Rev. O. D. Taylor brought in some fine specimens of branches loaded with the various fruits today, from which it appears that the weather has not in jured iruit much in bis locality. . Hon. A. S. Bennet, Democratic candi date for congress, will speak at the court borne tomorrow evening at 8 o'clock, in stead of' the 30th, as announced, hereto fore. The change of date is because of - Memorial day, which occurrence was overlooked at the time the announce ment was made. , The. Dalles City band propose to give a grand ball Saturday. ..The boys failed v financially on. their excursion,, and. an effort will be made to recover the losses, and pay for some new music they have . lately purchased,' i Some of the boys claim the existence of the band ia pre carious for lack of funds. i . The excursion of The Dalles band was not liberally attended, and resulted in a financial loss. -Tne day was not favor able for the excursion, and if it should be repeated later would be far better patronized. .The band was reinforced yesterday by Mr. Fred Helf rich of Duf ur, who is a first-class musician and wbo plays the Eb clarinet. Next Wednesday and Thursday at the Baldwin Opera House there will occur an unusual entertainment, and of a char acter which never fails of drawing large crowds. Charley . Brockman, . the . boy wonder, is the possessor of a wonderful power, or the medium of one,, which he does not know, nor does he know the son rce of that power. It, therefore, goes under the name of occult science a paradox. No explanation can be given by. witnesses of .the manifestations, seemingly impossible, . but nevertheless revealed. Whether this power is spirit influence, mennerin power or odic force the fact is the same. Either is incom prehensible. .Tuesday's. Dally. Mr. Otto C. Birgteld was declared a citizen today before the circuit court. .The Wasco warehouse received a large consignment of wool this afternoon.

It was issued by the state from the Miami county bank at Troy, and at the time was good in Indiana, Ohio and a portion of Ken tucky. . Among the many beautiful - floral tributes given to members of the High School graduating class was one pre pared by the Velarde family. This was a ship the hull coyerea with white flowers surrounded by a rim of yellow Austrian roses, and the rigging trimmed with smilax. The piece was one of the most artistic we have ever seen. One of the strongest attractions at the Crittenton meetings . is the singing of Mr. Wallace and his direction of the vocal music. Possessing a good voice of great depth, of which be has a complete mastery and wonderful expression, many are led to the meetings who love to hear the beauties of the human voice. As a leader of congregational singing he was never before equalled in The Dalles. . The Florence Mission reecne work is the title of one of the most interesting subjects handled by the Crittenton evan gelists. This is a work which appealed to Mr. Critten ton's efforts and fortune and for the success of which he is de voting the best labor of his life. It is a labor of redeeming the fallen from the damning criticism of an uncharitable world, to rescue their bodies from de struction and their souls from spiritual death. Tomorrow night at armory hall at 7:30. N : A -comprehensive picture of childhood was presented this afternoon at the Crittenton meeting at armory hall. A sea of bright little faces, upturned to listen to the story of Jesnslove for them was one of the most inspiring and elevating sights that mortal may wish to see. -Very handsome they looked in their variously-colored array, each little face wearing an expression of earnestness and innocence, and an inspiration must they have been to the evangelists and Christian ministers who are trying to show them the way, the. truth and the life thus early in their career. Judge A. S. Bennett, Democratic nominee for congress, speaks at the court house this evening: 'Political speaking is a new departure for Judge Bennett, but if we may believe the As- torian, a Republican newspaper, be is as interesting and logical on the stump as before a judge on the bench.

E. E, Lttle, Agent. PATRIOTIC GRADUATES. . Essays and Orations Reveal of Country. Tbelr Love Between 800 and 1,000 people assem bled .at Armory .ball Saturday night to listen to the commencement exercises of The Dalles public schools for 1896. A class cf nine had eucceesfullv finished their long course of study, and with the ample education furnished by our bene I ficont government by means of the free public schools, were pronounced fitted to enter the turmoil of the business and social world. i The exercises began with a chorus "The Banner of the Free." It was in dicative of the character of the program throughout. More than half the class took patriotic subjects..' The address of Master Angell was positively belligerent, while the oration of Master Baldwin was a brilliant defense of Americanism appealing to the strongest instincts of patriotism. Some cf the young ladies also revealed their love for their country in their essays, and there was not One graduate of the nine who did not betray their pride in and fealty to their native land. Such training in our public schools is sn perlatively com mendable,and proves over again the old assertion that the public schools are the bulwark of our liberties. '; "Heroes," by Misa Virgilia Coope was mainly a review of the heroea of his tory. The old yet ever new 6tory of Le- onidaa was retold in a simple yet charm ing style. The heroes of Scotland and Switzerland were again brought to view In Misa Cooper's opinion the hero whose name shines out brightest in all history was our . own Lincoln. - But heroes are not always measured by deeds of prowess. Cornelia, the mother of the gracchi, was a heroine in the manner of bringing ; up ber children. Those are heroes also who conquer their own pas eiona. - ' Mr. Curtis Egbert "followed with an oration entitled "The Growth of Con at i tutional Liberty." The growth of liberty is slow, but it is a thrifty plant, declared the speaker. Its tenacity of existence was then shown by the tender root of liberty which extended across the At' lantic and found lodgment in the Ameri can colonies, and its development was pictured by Mr. Egbert in rare and beautiful language. "Religious and constitntional liberty -are comrades in war, and brothers in peace," was another original statement of the speaker. He pictured the slow progress of liberty dor ing the dark ages, but its spark was never extinct, t-nd through the troublous times of the Fifteenth and succeeding centuries it was re-establiBhed In the form of various European republics. The number of these republics is con' Btantly increasing. The Misses Myrtle and Retta Stone at the conclusion of the address favored the audience with a brilliant duet on man dolin and guitar, Miss Mabel P. Riddell's essay was en titled "Beneath Our Feet Lies the Work of Ages." Thia waa a very pleasing pa per. The picture portrayed of the im meuse age of our planet, revealed by geology, was awe-inspiring, and the con trast between a moment and a cycle of time was sharply drawn by numerous local adaptations at our very doors. The formation of Oregon from an original two islands, one along the base of the Blue mountains and ope at the Siskiyous; tropical rushes found in Dry Hollow thirty feet beneath the surface; fresh water shells found on top of the highest mountains ' surrounding The Dalles; mastodon fossils found south of us; the the evidences of ancient forests where now are plains ; were among the various statements, of .Misa' Riddell which claimed almost breathless attention on the part of - the large audience. The paper showed tnxmh patient research and 6tudy, combining with the information gained from book lore the practical evi dencea that' ' are everywhere apparent around ua. if we but use our God-riven sense of eyesight, Mr. Edward F. Jenkins' subject .pOB8ibilit5e8 of Electricity," an cuuri, bs giuwiug wiui iu9 aa me BUDieci rr . , .

Who can place a limit to human gemuB? This is the train of thought suggested by Mr. Jenkins review of the progress of electricity. ' After a beautiful trio cf female voises, entitled "Down in the Dewy Dell," Miss Dasie Alia way read an essay entitled "American Progress." This progress was made possible primarily by liberty, which the colonists first demanded. Thia induced immigration,-invention and established industries. The- first thing the colonists observed was the need ot education. Never before had the common people had educational facilities. Aa a result the 9 o'clock school bell today summons eleven and a half million children. AmerVaii pecu liarly favored by situatii n for the un interrupted growtb of liberty and edu cation. We have put oceans between ua and the quarrels of the old world. America baa no titled aristocracy, no class privileges, a free press and free schools. The essay left an impression of love for bur country - and renewed the determination to preserve our schools as necessary to the preservation of our liberties. The oration by Mr. Homer D. Angell was a natnral continuation of the sub ject under discussion by Miss Allaway, "How May the United States best main tain Ita National Rights and Dignity?" The gospel of peace, the settlement of international difficulties by arbitration is far far from the thought of Mr. Angell His opening statement waa "Warfare is the foundation of all nations." The necessity of preparing for war was shown in the case of China by the late war with Japan. England presents the opposite extreme. The land upon which the sun never sets has a principle of aggression, supported by the most powerful navy afloat. Since we must preserve the honor of our. nation and be prepared to resist foreign aggression, it is an idle thought to desire an abandon ment of our oeast defenses. Attention was directed to the invasion of our rivers by the war of 1812. Even at the present time New York City, the best defended of American cities, has but three guns; San Francisco baa but one. The Columbia can be entered without a show of resistance. The European na tions are all thoroughly equipped for a foreshadowed general war, and the United States should not be idle. The danger of delay was shown by the length of time required to construct a navy, an average of three years being required to furnish a man-of-war. Mr. Angell has a manly style of delivery, aggressive like his subject, and compelled the strictest attention to his decidedly warlike ora tion. "A male quartet, "Softly Sleep," fol lowed, by four youtha with harmonious voices, when Mies Pearle Butler read an essay entitled "What Is Their Story 7" It was of trees Miss Butler referred, and she instanced many specific trees of his tory. Among them were the charter oak of Hartford, Conn., the elm under which Washington assumed command of the army, and the elm tree nnder which Wm. Penn executed his treaty with nine Indian tribes, the only treaty which waa never sworn to and was never broken. Of interest also was the hun dred-horse chestnut and the cedars of Lebanon. Nearing the conclusion Miss Butler said: ' "Trees speak to us with a heroic eloquence." We hardly take lo the woods under Miss Butler's leadership, after the fright given ua by Mr. Angell, before we are recalled by Mr. Edward D. Baldwin This young man spoke with a force and eloquence, an understanding and con ception of the duties of American citi zenship far bevond his years. "One of the highest duties of an American to perform is the conscientious discharge of the duties of American citizenship was his opening statement. The spirit of love of country was exemplified by reference to the gallant fight made by a handful of Swiss into the solid Prussian ranks. An intrepid leader invited death. because the sacrifice was demanded in the cause of liberty. Of the same mind waa Patrick Henry when he aroused the nation with his memorable words, "Give me liberty or give me death." Henry Clay said: "I'd rather be right than president." Mr. Baldwin renewed the demand of Americans when be said : 'Every man must be free to worship God according to the dictates of bis own conscience, and to cast his ballot for who ia bis personal preference.' This liberty we have inherited from our fathers', and it is our duty to leave it unimpaired to our posterity. He re ferred to our corrupt legislatures and boss rule. He believed it waa the duty of every American citizen to inform him self on the questions or the day.' The ballot ia a gigantic power for either good or evil, and it is criminal to neglect ita duties. Next month' occura the state election. ' If our duty as voters ia prop erly done the various positions' will be filled with true patriots. He ureed the importance of attending the primariee,' exposed the danger from the etayathomc voters, and charged that because of this many of our great cities are today under boss rule. - He closed the subject by stating that voters must not be misled by partisan zeal, and concluded his ora tion with" a touching address to bis classmates. Mr. ' Baldwin shows a comprehension of the conduct of politics surprising in one so young, and an in- ormation thousands of men do nut pos sess who have bad a vested right to vote for years. Misses Lorene Lee and Clara Nickel sen then favored the audience with the piano duet "Waif er-Caprizen, Nicode, Opp., 10 faultlessly rendered. The closing essay waa by Miss Nona Rowe, "Where Rolls the Oregon." She commenced with the discoverv of the Columbia by Capt. Gray in 1792, which "ho named the Oregon, and told of Spain and Russia's first claims to this extensive Northwest territory. England alio claimed jt, and the claim was en forced ' by the Hudson Bay company. The citizens of St. Louis were surprised one day by the arrival of four Flathead Indians, who came to petition for mis sionaries. -The appeal was neglectea by all except Marcus Whitman, who braved the perils of the transcontinental trip in 1835.' A year later H. H. Spaulding and wife came. The trip was 3,500 miles long, which took six months to accom plish it. When they appeared at Fort Walla Walla, Mrs. Whitman possessing T8 Pries on Farm wagons Has DAped;" mr-vAol K1?' th0PrIcn some wagons baa fallen below our price on "OLD mtK-OKY Wagons. Why? Because no other wagon on the market will sell alongside of the "OLD HICKORY" at the same prices. It is the best ironed, best painted and lightest running, and we guarantee every bit of material in it to be strictly first clrss. If vou want the CHEAPEST Wor.n n tl.. m.rV.t m,. haven't got it ; but we have got the BEST, and solicit comparison. MAYS & a beautiful face, was mistaken for a spiritual being of another world and re ceived an adoration almost amounting to worship. Great Britain pressing her claims Whitman went east and returned with 200 wagons and 2,000 troops, thus holding possession of- a country which was much undervalued in the East. Miss Rowe prettily told of the collapse of the Bridge of the Gods. She referred also to the near completion of the locks. Her essay was appreciative of our im provement in the past and hopeful for the future. ' A double quartette next rendered the song "Awake. Eolian Lyre," followed by presentation of diplomas, and the cIrbs song. A basket of flowers was presented each graduate at the conclu sion of their effort. The stage was decorated with palms and potted plants. WAS HE A FORGER? At Any Rate Be Disappeared From the Face of tha Kartn. Aoout o clocK yesterday morning a man offered .to Ben Wilson a check for f3o on James Connelly,' a sheepman, which Mr. Wilson cashed. Shortly after 9 o'clock Mr. Wilson took the check to the bank and got the money on it. During the forenoon the man hung around the saloon drinking ' a good deal and finally went to a restaurant in the East End, where he laid down in a back room. About 3 o'clock in the afternoon word came from the bank to Mr.. Wilson that the check was a fogery, and Wil son telephoned for an officer. Frank Gable, a deputy, was sent by Mr. Kelly who found the man, but could not arouse him, and Gable supposed by hia ap pearance be waa in that physical 'condi tion known as "dead drunk." He went back to the saloon and reported and was told to keep an eye on the man. Half an hour later Gable re-visited the room and the man was gone I He could not be found anywhere. The question is, what became of him? If he simulated,, drunkenness he was probably guilty. If he was really drunk he must have been spirited away. The place where he was found would then naturally come under surveillance. What of the place? It ia the bouse apokan of in The Chronicle some time ago as being constructed for immoral purposes. The city council took decided action looking to its suppression for that purpose, and lo, it blossomed out a res taurant. It may be a legitimate restau rant for anything Thb Chronicle knows to the contrary, but it seems strange that it would harbor a drunken stranger, and half an hour after an offi cer was there to arrest him, he waa ab sent. Verily, aa a mayor of old once said to hia fellow townsncen when he waa eeeking re-election: "There ia some things in this city of ourn wicb needs lookin' after." , tt not only is so, it must be so, One Minute Cough Cure acts quickly, and that's what makes it go.

' CROWE, The Dalles, O THE EVANGELISTS. Mr. Critten ton's Greitt rersuasive Povsr Assisted By (load Music' A large audience aHsembled in Armory Hall at 10 :30 yesterday morning, where Evangelist Crittenton and his associates began a series of union meetings. Mr. Wallace, the leader of singing, first' con ducted several selections of congrega tional singing from Gospel Hymns. mmm. $f s2k .'.t'.i.v CFIA8. N. CBITTItNTON. There were associated with Mr. Critten ton on the platform nearly all the Chris tian ministers of this city, who entered into the Bpirit of the occasion with great zeal. The sermon by Mr. Crittenton partook of the character of an appeal to accept Christ, and during the course of the sermon there were two situations al most dramatic. At the conclusion of a pathetic story be raised his voice in song, assisted by a female voice in the choir, and later in his talk he with two others assumed a:i attitude of prayer, but instead of the expected supplication there sprang from the lips of the trio one of the prettiest, roost melodious and solemn songs of warning that were ever heard. At the conclusion of the sermon all who desired to be saved, saint or sin ner, were invited to arise, "and the invi tation was generally accepted. In the afternoon a joung people's meeting occurred at 2:30 o'clock, at which there was a liberal attendance. In the evening the large hall was crowd ed. The text waa from Daniel xi :13, "But go the thy way till the end be, for thou shalt stand in thy lot at the end of the day." The same character of ad dress as the morning was noted an ap peal to come to Christ. As a result there were about 20 unconverted persona who signed cards pledging themselves "thia day to give myself to Jesus, and with bis help will hereafter live a Christian life." Tuesday is children's day. Wednesday night ia set apart for the story of the Florence Crittenton missions,, which never fails of arousing the most intense interest, and for the maintenance ot which all the nightly collections are. re served. There are thirty of .these now in existence. All the meetings com mence at 7:30" in the evening." FAMILY AND HOTEL RANGES Are unrqualrd, brcsuse they are made of malle able Iron mid wrought stool.
