' The great volume of the rise of the Snake is over, so that unusually " nigh water is scarcely to be feared. The riyer is about on a standstill. Dr. Hollister received a letter this morning from Mr. Chas. Malette, . for merly timekeeper at the shops here, that bis father bad died very suddenly in Kansas last week. The old. gentle man was at one time governor of South Dakota. , The attorneys of the city believe they are a litltle Btronger on a bowling game than other classes of professional men and are especially inviting the doctors, druggists and dentists to knock the chip . from their shoulder. Their confidence is supreme, and some of them are just 4 little aggressive about it. Owing to the high stage of water in the river the salmon catch continues light, tierrick canned a few caees Thursday and is putting up a few today. Altogether the wheels are doing poorly at the present time, but a very large catch is expected when the water re cedes about ten feet from the present stage. Th9 larger number of Good Templar delegates left on this afternoon's train and many of their new-made friends of The Dalles were at the train to bid them adieu. Just before starting the visitors gave three cheers for The Dalles, and as the train disappeared through the cu : handkerchiefs were waved by the visitors and guests, marking the last farewell for the Beaion. The Dufur Dispatch has the following kind words for our city : ' "The Dalles the most important wool mart on the Pacific coast. It is the center of a wool and stock business for two hundred miles round about. Even the wool growers of Washington haul their prod uct right by stations on the Northern Pacific railway seventy-five or eighty miles into The Dalles. Over 4,000,003 pounds of wool are now in the ware' houees there, and as much more is ex pected to arrive." It has been agreed upon between Supt Troy Shelley and C. L. Gilbert, superintendent-elect, to hold a normal insti tute at The Dalles, beginning July 13th and continuing four weeks. Besides the common school studies, instruction will be given in such of the higher . branches of study as shall be decided upon later on. This will be a rare opportunity for all those now engaged in the profession of teaching or preparing ' for the same. Farther information will be given about board and rooms. Monday's Daily.

' , , .- The concert given yeBterday by The Dalles band was the finest of the season. The most of. the city's inhabitants were out to hear it. '.The medley of sacred selections and The . limiting scene were especially pretty.' Any kind of a political campaign in : volves a great deal of lying about candi dates. If everything stated today against . both Mr. Menefee and! Mr Adams was true neither one deserves election, but fortunately neither is as black as he has been painted." .' - Capt. Waud made an inspection of the whirlpool below the dalles of the Colam-1 bia yesterday, and decided the boat I stood but little show of weathering it in safety. The machinery in the boat will therefore be hauled around : by wagon and the boat will wait for lower water. The band 'was the recipient, through Director Peterson, of a. very handsome bouquet 'yesterday. ; No instructions were received ' with it, and to prevent a auarrel which might have ensued be tween the bovs. it was decided to accept it an a 'trift to the whole band from an appreciative unknown. The finest halls in town by long odds will be the ones in the Yogt block. K. of P. hall will be second only to Armory hall in seating capacity, and the ball ad' joining, though smaller, is large enough accommodate all the members of 'any sinele society in town. Both halls will be models of. neatness and convenience, and are well lighted and of an even tem perature. : . ' ' ' '- luesoay s. iaixy. Dr. Leavens' residence at the Cascade Locks was burned last night. ' The cause of the fire is believed to be from chil dren playing with matches in the pan try. At 8 o'clock this morning the river stood at 38.4. This is already an un usual height, and will overflow the isl and at the cascades from two .to three feet, making it possible to injure the government work by washing. No word has been received from Mc Coy's Portland, friends regarding funds to pay the men, and this afternoon Sheriff Driver took the afternoon train for the purpose of enforcing payment of the note. If payment is refused, the sheriff proposes to commence a suit at once. The note It considered first-class. Mr. McCoy received an answer from Parsons about 4 o'clock yesterday.' ' He tried bard to secure the money to pay the men, promising any kind of security, and Parsons promised to do what be could and answer by 12 o'clock today The answer, however, did not mature, and Mr. Driver goes- this afternoon to Portland. We were in error yesterday in stating that Sheriff Driver distributed a number of revolvers to bystanders, or at anv rate that number was ' small, and was confined only to regujar deputies, of which there were not more than one or two. The sheriff placed great confl dence in the law-abiding spirit ot the men, and it was not misplaced. They behaved handsomely, though none the ess determined to make McCoy yield a share of his treasure for labor honestly performed. . ' The city band filled the air of early evening with the charm of music last night, serenading the successful candi dates of the day. The first call was at the residence of Mayor Menefee, where that gentleman was totally surprised by the bewitching music suddenly bursting out. in front of his residence. He re sponded with a heat speeeh, and the serenaders turned their footsteps to the homes of the other candidates. Messrs Randall, Crandall, Knck, Seufert and Peters were visited, and their selection as city officers complimented in this pretty and old-fashioned custom. Beal Estate Transfers.

There Is an air of suppressed , excite' ment in militia circles at the present time, and the boys are on the qui vive of anticipation over the Astoria troubles. - Little can be learned from either officers or turn, owing to the secrecy ' which lis enjoined ' upon them from head quarters, but this much" is known, that they have received orders to bold them selves in readiness at an hoar's notice, As another evidence that the atmos phere is strongly impregnated with th martial ' spirit, it may : be observed that the : orders expected . to have been Issued ; early in the week for the encampment at Hood River on the 23d, have not been issued. It is also known that the officers here have for warded guns and ammunition to other companies of this battalion, The Dalles beine the supply point. Levi Chrisman captain of Co. G, yesterday received supply of webbed cartridge belts, and it is probable that be has orders to supply the . same to all the companies. Al together it would not be surprising if the assemble call should be sounded on our streets at any time. The situation at Astoria Is now very tense. Many murders have already been committed, and the time has come when some effort muBt be made on the part of the state to prevent loss of life and property. If a call to arms is made, it is possible a special train would start from Baker City, picking up the militia companies on the wav. THEY WANT THEIR MONEY. McCoy Interviewed by His Workmen at ' Noon Today. By preconcerted arrangement the Mc Coy laborers assembled shortly before noon at the. corner of Third and Union streets, and when the town clock struck 12 walked over in a body to the court house. A plan had been arrange! for a meet ing between McCoy and his laborers at this hour. The men began going up the steps and into the hall, when the sheriff pushed them back, telling them to remain at the foot of the steps and he would bring McCov to them. , The sheriff tben addressed them in a tew words of firmness, telling them he ex pected them to be peaceable and order ly, and that he would not tolerate any funny business. He then 'went to the cell and soon stepped out escorting Mc Coy. The sheriff had previously dis tributed a few loaded revolvers to citi zens who were present, and besides the laborers there were not a dozen others present, including the sheriff and prisoner. ' McCoy was met with glances of hatred and suspicion on the part of the men, but standing a little in the shadow of the sheriff's athletic frame the portly contractor began bis little speech. . It may be stated here that the note exe cuted by McCoy was not honored at the Portland bank, and the sheriff conse quently again took charge of the prison er. "1 am glad to see you again, boys," said McCoy, and I know what you want. I am here to offer you the best possible settlement I can effect. 'The time I bad in Portland . was limited, else I might have done better. I now offer you $1000 in cash, which you may divide up among you and the balance secured by lumber, which you can probably dispose of for cash." - The speech did not bring that degree of satisfaction McCoy perhaps expected We need our money, and we want all of it." . "When do we get the $1,000?" , "You lied to us once and we won't be lieve you now." A man stepped np and presented his due bill given by McCoy in exchange for his time check. McCoy took it, read it and handed it back. "I can't pay it now," he said, "I havn't the money." You are a liar, you scoundrel," said another, "or if you havn't got it you can eet it." "What about that lumber deal?" asked another. Here the sheriff took a hand in the conversation, and what he said left no doubt where his sympathies lay. "Mr. McCoy," said Mr. Driver, that lumber offer is a bunco game, and you know it. Now I want to tell you something about these men. You may think you can starve them out, and that they will peter out one by one until only two or three are left ; but you are mistaken. Tbey have friends who are holding them up, and they expect to stay in The Dalles till they get the money." I want you to understand that I am not going to let you beat these men over my shoulders. You will stay in Jail until you dig np, and X advise yon that it is the best thing you can do. I know as well as you do that you have the money, or' that you can get it with- oai a7 trouble, and you had better get if ' it.' 'We want to know before 6 o'clock whether we are going to get the money," said the spokesman for the laborers. We have been deceived in this matter as long as we will stand it." McCoy suddenly remembered - the name of a Portland man who had money and promised to try and get it by letter and would let the men . know in the morning. "No that won't do," they shouted. There is a telephone and that is good enough for us. Very well, then, by telephone," said McCoy, "and with the sheriff he re - treated to the sheriffs . office, where he promptly brought the instrument into requisition. While awaiting the ans wer, the sheriff gave two of the men liberty to be present to hear what Mc Coy would, say to his Portland friend, when he could be found. Up to the hour of going to press the Portland man, Paulson by name, could not be found. A Perilous Adventure. 'Geo. C. Walker passed through Celilo rapids yesterday in a steamer forty feet long, and tied up his boat at the mess house above the dalles rapids. He is in the city today and saw Capt. Waud, whose opinion he is soliciting as to hether be can pass over the dalles in the boat with any degree of safety. The captain will go in the morning and make an inspection. Mr. Walker says it looks at present as though the swell at the dalles is about thirty feet high. The owner of the craft has come in It all the way from Lewiston, making the dis tance in thirty hours. The first eighty miles was made in five hours. It is a stern wheel steamer furnished with two engines and a 175-lb boiler. He wants to take the boat to Portland and sell it. , The met perilous part of his trip was in Snake river canyon, where be says while passing through some rapida the boat stood up nearly on end, as it dashed down a steep place into a whirlpool at an elbow of the river. Opinion is di vided as to what will become of the boat at the dalles. Some believe It will be whirled underneath and never appear on the surface agajn. From tnr Exchangee.

Conroy, better known among bis . friends as "Bock" Conroy,1 wa fatally injured at 5 o'clock yesterday atternoon near Arlington tie was braking on the work train which is engaged in filling in tba track lour miles west of Arlington. While setting the brake, the iron that holds it in place gave way, and with it he fell between the cart. He fell outside the track, except his right leg, which was crushed and torn from near its junction with the body. When found directly after he remarked: - "Weir, bovs, stayed with the wheel, and I have got it with me,", and such was the case. The poor fellow still bad the brake wheel in bis grasp when the crew ran to his aid. The remark is thought to have indicated bis thought that he realized bis Injury was ; fatal, and with an unselfishness seldom encountered, hla last were of his family and their mainte nance after he had breathed his last, and he desired to retain the wheel as evidence of the cause of his death. He was at once carried to the caboose. and taken to Arlington and ' in an ' incredibly short time Dr. Geis endorfer . of ' Arlington was sum moned, who did everything in his power for the injured man. He was brought to The Dalles, ' arriving here about 8 o'clock. In the judgment of the doctor, he was sent to Portland, tho company kindly furnishing a special car and loco motive. But he never reached that city alive. He died about 12:15 at CTarnie, the first station out from Portland. With him was his sorrowing wife, who waB notified of her husband's misfor tune at The Dalles and promptly came to his side. Mr. Conroy leaves two children, the older only three years of acre. The younger is an infant of four months. ' The deceased was widely , known in the city as a sober, Indaitnous man, kind to his family and was universally liked. He has been unemployed regu larly for about three years, and was an extra-man, filling in his time at other kinds of work as he could get it. For a time he worked on the Vogt building. At 7 o'clock this morning his body was brought home from Portland by special, and at 11 o'clock Coroner Butts held an inquest on the remains. - r THB VERDICT. A verdict was arrived at by the jury at 3 p. m., and is as follows : We the jury imnaneled bv W. H.

' MAYS & CROWE, The Dalles, OrL ONLY AN ARTIST'S DREAM. rietnre- on the Drop Cnrtala Mistakes for The Dalle and Surroundings. . There has been much speculation on the part of audiences at the New Vogt as to whether the drop curtain repre sents The Dalles and its mountain sur roundings. The picture of the city is of course fanciful, representing the ancient Grecian style of architecture, and tha -steamer in the foreground is much too ponderous to be a good imitation of th Regulator. However the appearance of of the mountains and the river and the situation of the city, as depicted on the curtain, presents a general view similar to the existing topography surrounding . The Dalles, but a minute Insnection fails to confirm the impression that it is a copy of nature. The entire picture is a creation, though the artist came so . near reproducing nature that it must be considered a remarkable, coincidence. - The fact is that the artist was only In the city a half hour before painting the scenery, tie was then here only for business, and bad he been inclined for sketching the day was drizzling with, rain, and he would have been unable to- do so. The conclusion is that The Dallea with its surroundings is a fit subject for the artist's brush. The picture he cre ated might be such a one as he would produce from memory after years of ab sence, and conscientiously endeavoring; to make a true copy. It is a fact, how-' ever, and a very complimentary one, that the grand landscape shown on the drop curtain, though resembling the city and surroundings so nearly as to deceive many who have lived here for years, wast only an artist's dream.
