LOCAL BREVITIES.
, Wednesday's i)aily.
; . The annual missionary convention of
' . the Christian church begins at Turner,
-, Gr., on Jane 19th, extending to the 30th.
Democratic state conventions were
'held yesterday in Idaho, California and
. Lonieiana. All declared ter free- coin
age of silver. at the ratio of 16 to 1.
The existence of the locks is now
trembling in the -balance. If they are
lost, the railroad corporation can after
twenty years of opposition give ns the
ha ha. ' .
The funeral of B. T. Conroy took place
at 2 p. m.' today from the Catholic
- church, Rev. A. Bronegeest officiating.
. The funeral was attended by the Wood
men in a body, and almost the entire
railroad force turned out.
Today is the anniversary of the battle
- of Bunker Hill. This was the second
great battle of the Revolution, and has
been celebrated yearly in Massachusetts
- and the eastern- states with as much
' ardor af the Fourth of July.
Grasshoppers are making their ap
pearance in large numbers on 15-Mile,
but have done no damage as yet. The
Oregon grasshopper is not so large or
voracious as the Kansas variety, any
way, and seldom do extended harm.
Mr. and Mrs. S. J. Hanua were in the
' city today from Boyd and called at The
Chronicle office. Mr. Hanna states
. that the early varieties of spring wheat
'. are heading up nicely, and that fall
wheat has already headed. A rain
: would help to fill the grain, and would
do much good, but fair crops are assured
, without it.
All Is not vexation of spirit in the life
. of the militia boys. At the coming
; Fourth of July celebration in Pendleton
the militia have been detailed to dance
with the country girls beneath an arbor
. 150 feet long extending the width of the
. street. It would now be a pity if they
had to leave that pleasant pastime to
shoot Finns at Astoria.
. Two carloads of strawberries were
. shipped from Hood River last night.
This- is the heart of the season, last
night's shipment being the largest.
From the way the river is rising, they
may not be able to ship to eastern mar
kets more than a day or two longer, as
the water at the present rate it is rising,
will soon efface a portion of .the track.'
. Officers are out today looking for
some boys against whom complaint has
been lodged by Mr. G. H. .Riddell for
maltreatment of animals. It is alleged
that on the 7th of June Walter Carlyle.
Henry Wickbam and John Dalryample
secured a stallion colt belonging to
Mr. Riddell and so mistreated it that it
died the following day. The act oc
curred in Mr. Riddell's neighborhood,
, about ten miles from the city.
The golden jubilee of tbe Oregon pio
neers at Portland is being celebrated in
grand style. In a street procession yes
terday ; 2,500 -school children marched,
each carrying a flag and strewing flowers
- in the path of the pioneers who followed.
Some grand speeches were made by Geo.
H. Williams, John F. Caples, Mrs. W.
'' J. Plymale and original poems were
read by Joaquin Miller and Ella Hig
ginson. Mayor-Elect Pennoyer deliv
ered an address of welcome,

street cleaning department in Portland.
. A new daily is to be started in Port
land. It is to te an evening paper, and

The D. P. &. A. N. Co. has lost some
' of the piles at the foot of the incline,
which were pulled up by the lifting

'-' To celebrate or not to celebrate is the
. question . to be decided at the council
chambers tonight. . Everyone interested
in a fitting celebration of the nation's
great holiday should attend the meeting.
The river rose eight inches since 8
o'clock yesterday morning. .' Reports
from above show a steady rise at Wen
atchee, Lewieton and Umatilla. At - I
o'clock this morning pbe river stood 40.2
at The Dalles. .
The Ancient Order United Workmen,
of which Mr. B. T. Conroy was a mem
ber, was represented by several mem
bers who followed him to the grave yes
terdav. Mr. Conroy 'was not a member
of tue Woodmen. . V
The band will render the strictly clas
sical overture "Poet and Peasant" next
Knntlav at the school erounds. This is
one of the finest productions of the old
masters, Von Suppe being the author.
It is a very difficult, but beautiful over-
ture, and is of a class not heretofore at
tempted by any band inThe Dalles
The militia last night were practiced
on the skirmish drill. Though this was
their first practical lesson on the drill,
they accomplished it very creditably,
under the direction of Capt. Cbrisman
The drill is a very Important one, estab
lishing from a. com pact line of men in a
very short space of time, a line of skir
mishers five naces between men. . Alter
the skirmish drill they were marched to
the armory, where they executed fault
lessly the remainder oj the tactics in
military discipline.
At McMinnville last week the Yam
hill union-bimetallic central committee,
with several leading members of the
party, voted unanimously to call a state
convention at that place for July 9th to
arrange for a state organization of the
party, to be composed of men of all par
ties who favor the use of both gold and
silver as standard money and are op
posed to the single gold Btandard and
who favor the unlimited coinage of both
metals. The convention will consist of
298 delegates appointed from several
counties..
The graduating orations at Albany
were somewhat , similar in tone to the
ones delivered in this city. The Albany
Herald says : "They were all on patri
otic and practical themes, and any one
listening must immediately have dis
pelled any fears for the future of out
country. With young men growing up
with such glowing patriotism, all is well."
The oration by Mr. Sternberg was much.
like Mr. Angell's of this city. He said
"During the last century nations have
been fortifying and strengthening them
serves until now. they stand with chips
on their shoulders. A stronger enforce
ment of the Monroe doctrine -will array
half of Europe against us.' Arbitration
cannot put down present greed, war is
inevitable. We should provide this
nation with stronger .fortifications and
armies."

reports that the fruit crop is rained
Many farmers, with good orchards, say
that they will hardly have apples enough
for their own use.
The Dalles will not celebrate this year.
There were not enough citizens favora
ble to a celebration to make a commit
tee quorum at the couLcil chambers last
night, and no action was .taken of any
kind.
The Dalles Commission Co. 'shipped
out ten boxes of Royal Ann cherries
yesterday and ten this morning. The
strawberry market is declining. Ad
vices from Salt Lake quote $2.50 yester
day. .
Mr. Stubling will have on sale tomor
row a non-alconolie drink called malt
nu trine. This drink comes in pint bot
tles and is intended as a tonic and an
appetizer. It is a malt extract, posi
tively without alcohol.
While Mrs. C. C. Croner, of Eugene,
was in Salem last Sunday she visited. the
state penitentiary. As she" was being
shown through the building, one of the
convicts picked her . pocket, in which
was a well-filled purse. '
, The janitor is making benches on both
sides of the avenue leading to the school
house door. This is for the convenience
of ladies when listening to the Sunday
band concerts'; and is very thoughtful on
the part of Mr. Glasius. ' .
' A conteet at bowling between the mar
ried and unmarried ladies at the club
yesterday resulted in a victory to the
matrons, the score being 192 to 184
points. These continued results go to
prove that mariiage is not a failure.

S. B. ' ADAMS ' RESIGNS.
Th Defeated Candidate for Mayor
Won't Have School IMreetarthlp.
: The sensation of today in educational
circles is the resignation of . Mr. 8. B.
Adams as school director, - a position
which he has creditably filled for the
past six years, and a reporter of Thi
Chboniclk met Mr. Adams Ibis morn
ing to ascertain his reasons. . v'.'
The gentleman wa9 found to be very
much displeased over the result of the
city election, which decided against him
for mayor of the city, which he regards
as a personal affront. In casting about
for the causes of - his defeat, it is evident
he lays a great share of it to Mr. E. B.
Dufur, Mr. Menefee's law partner, and
in his letter of resignation, ironically
recommends him as. his successor in
office, - Mr. Adams' claims to have
turned forty votes to Dufur in Sherman
county, without which aid Dufur would
have been defeated.
"But," said the reporter, "that was
surely not a good reason for resigning
your office as school director," and Mr.
Adams replied': .. . . -.'
Well, the people don't want economy
anyhow. My record is based on that.
When I went in as school director six
years ago, Drencn x tJO. naa a note or
$10,000 against the district, upon which
even the interest was not paid. I re
deemed both principal and interest, and
then I took hold of the academy and put
that on its feet. There is nothing in it
for me; I am money out. Why, there's
a finger (showing a digit that looks as
though it had once been mashed) tnat
cost me (65 on account of my personal
activity in saving the BchooK district
money." " -
How was that done?"
In moving a school house up here on
the hill. I was superintending the job,
and whi'e helping to lift the corner of it,
the blamed thing settled on my hand.
The doctor charged me $65 for fixing
t up."
The following is Mr. Adams letter of
resignation:
To the honorable board of directors of
School District No. 13, Wasco county,
Oregon.
I herewith present to vou my resigna
tion as director of said distiict, to take
effect from and after this date. - Yours
truly, . S. B. Adams.
The Dalles. (Jr.. June 17. iaut.
P. S. I will cheerfully . recommend
Hon. 12. B. Dufur as a suitable man to
fill the vacancy. S. B. A.
' The Chbonicle regrets the fact that
Mr. Adams finds it necessary to resign
He has made a good official, a statement
in which the public will unanimously
agree. We believe, also, that he acted
with some haste,' while suffering the
pangs of defeat, and that if he had post
poned his action for a week he would
not have resigned. In this frame of
mind he as not a fair conception of the
real situation. While Adams bas a good
record for economy it does not follow
that he has a monopoly of that virtue.
Mr. Menefee bas made quite as good a
record in the same line, and an encono-
mizer was not ' demanded. The people
have chosen Mr. Menefee for one term,
and it is but natural they desire to en
doree his good record by re-electing him
for mayor. '
t
McCoy's Troubles Accumulate.
Information is received from Portland
that Mrs. McCoy is making a serious
effort to Becure the money due the labor
ers, and that she employed yesterday
afternoon in a search for funds in com
pany with Mr. Paulsen. Sheriff Driver
is now in Portland on the errand of en
forcing payment of the $2,500 note, the
proceeds of which will go to the
mea. Whatever Mr. McCoy's past ac
tions have been, the situation at present
is that a heroic effort is being made by
himself and friends to secure money to
pay his workmen.
But McCoy's financial troubles are not
ended with the payment of the men.
Two actions were begun before circuit
court by filing notices at the clerk's
office yesterday on the! part of the Wasco
warehouse by Huntington & Wilson, at
torneys for plaintiff. One is styled
Wasco Warehouse vs. G. H. . McCoy for
the recovery of $292.08, interest and
costs of action, a sum-alleged to be due
for goods, wares and merchandise, pro
cured between the 12th and 28th of May
1896. The other suit is by Wasco Ware
house vs. Clinton & McCoy for $500,
which is for the sum due on a bill of ex
change given to the Wasco Warehouse
company by F. Erickson, and accepted
by Clinton & McCoy.
The Looks May Be Lost.
The safety of the locks at the Cascades
is now threatened with each added inch
of high water. If- it gets much above
the 40-foot stage, which seems an as
sured fact, the damage is sure to aggre
gate many thousands of dollars, and the
whole work may be ruined irreparably.
The loss of the locks cannot be attributed
to a lack of vigilance on the part of citi
zens or press of Eastern Oregon. The
threatened danger was brought to the at
tention of congress several months ago,
when there was yet time to have pre
vented it. Congress was in session, but
no measure of precaution was taken. It
may take some such catastrophe as the
loes of the locks to awaken the people to
a sense of their rights and how'best to
enforce them.
An Imperial Verdict.
Justice Davis decided a case yester
day which will not appear on the docket.
A camp " of Indiana gave three white
visitors $1.50 to buy toxao whiskey for
them, and the Indians were told to stay
in camp till they returned with it.
About 10 o'clock .' the Indians became
anxious, and coming to town noticed the
white men around the Btreets celebrat
ing with the $1 50. - They were expostu
lated with by theTmliitiis, and were told
to return to camp, they would come up
in a little while with the whisky. They
did1 not appear by midnight, and the
Indians went to the white men's camp
and took what they thought was about a
dollar and a halt's worth, the booty, con-
sistipg of two blankets a coat and
shirt. Returning to camp a squaw eaid
the two i lan Wets were stolen - from ' her
on circus da v." 1 he white men then
hunted the Indiana up and all agreed to
go before DavU as an arbitrator. After
two hours of investigation, Day is re
stored the coat and shirt to the white
men, and held the blankets until Satur
day, when if the white men will pay the
$1.50 back 'to the Indians they may re
gain them. If they do not, the blankets
go to the Indians.
TEN FEET MORE OF WATER.
That Is tne News at Out by Observer
i Pag-ne Todav.
Portland. Or., 'June 18. Your river
will nee about'. ten feet more.. A con
tinued rise is probable until the maxi
mum height is reached. Cooler weather
for the next three days.
. This is the text of a telegram received
this morning by Mr. S. L. Brooks from
Observer Pague, and. was confirmed by a
telephonic message. This would bring
the rivt-r to n height of fifty feet, lackiug
only niuv :'.nd six-tenths feet of being up
to the 1894 rise. In telephoning to Air.
Pague, the latter said that ten feet he
considered . the maximum -figure to
be attained, and that six feet more than
the present stage was positive. This
will do a vast amount of damage and
cause considerable trouble and expense.
The largest loss might be the destruction
or partial destruction of the locks. The
railroad company would -also suffer a
great loss. Some of the fish wheels
would be liable to go with a rise to fifty
feet.- The D. P. & A. N. warehouse
would be compelled to put in a false
floor to raise the wool, with whicb the
warehouse is almost filled. It is now
about seven feet above the Burface of the
water. There is such a vast floor space
of . this warehouse that tbe expense
would not fall short of $1,000. Many of
our merchants, with a rise of ten feet,
would have to look to their basements,
and some expense would be entailed in
moving goods. - The memory of 1894 is
yet strong enough" to remind us of what
are the evils of an unusually high water.
The Track In Great Daag-er.
The river stood this morning at 39.4, a
rise of a foot in 24 hours. It is now
dangerously near the . road bed both
above and below The Dalles, and rail
road men are reasonably alarmed over
tbe situation because another foot or
two of water will wash away the filling
from under tbe track. Last night was
a buty one with the extra crews who are
getting out rock and hauling it to Uma
tilla to protect the tract, and trains were
palling out throughout the night bound
for the scene of danger with all possible
haste from the quarry Bixmiles below
the city. Through business is also being
rushed, so that in-, case of a tie-up all
freight possible shall have passed. The
greatest source of trouble at present is at
the sliding mountain near Bonneville,
where 100 men are working with might
and main to keep the track in repair.
The present spell of hot weather with a
warm wind is melting the snow rapidly,
and unless a spell of cool weather sets in
at once at the headwaters, the end of
high water is not yet. t

A quiet borne wedding took place last
Tuesday at 1 o'clock p. m. at Red Wil
lows, tbe home of the bride's parents,
Mr. and Mrs. R.' R.' Hinton. Their
daughter, Lillie May, was united in
marriage to Mr. John L. Hollingshead,
the ceremony being performed by Rev.
Leech of Antelope in a most impressive
manner. Only immediate members of
the family and a few intimate frieuds
were present. The parlors were taste
fully decorated ' with numerous wild
flowers, which rendered the scene of
festivity a sylvan bower. The bride was
lovely in a gown of ' white organdie,
prettily trimmed with lace, with veil,
held in place by a spray of lilies of the
valley. . ,
After cordial congratulations, the
guests repaired , to the dining-room,
where a dainty luncheon was served
The numerous presents received attested
the high esteem in which the bride and
groom are held by their large circle of
friends and relatives.
Deplorable Accident.
The death of Mrs. W. W.'Wbeaton oc
curred at Huntington Sunday, resulting
from injuries sustained in being thrown
from a cart. The fatality Is a particu
larly sad one, as Mrs. Wheaton, whose
maiden name was Miss Kate Collins,
was a bride of but four days, having
been united in marriage to Mr. Wheaton
in Baker City on Wednesday of last
week. Mr. - Wheaton has a fruit farm
on Conner creek and it was while on
their way to their future home from
Baker City that the horse became un
manageable and Mrs. ' Wheaton was
thrown out and fatally injured. -'
The deceased lady has been engaged
In teaching school, and has a large num
ber of friends in Baker county who are
painfully shocked over her untimely
death. .
He Liked Artichokes.
John Wilson has quite a liking for ar
tichokes, and last Wednesday he went
up to the Chinese gardens to dig some,
says the Astoria Herald, but made a
mistake and unearthed some poison
thing with a name long enough to wrap
around a sore leg. He was found a ehort
time afterward'ih the shape of the letter
S, and it took a force pump and a doctor
three hours to get the kinks out of him.
Some people are constantly troubled
with pimples and boils, especially about
the face and neck.- The best remedy is
a thorough course of Ayer's Sarsaparilla,
which expels all humors through the
proper channels, and to make the skin
become soft, healthy and fair.
