. A false alarm of fire was sounded Sat-

Cosmopolitan hotel was on fire, but an
investigation by affrighted citizens re
vealed that there was no occasion for
' -alarm. " '" .
- Four reckless horsemen were arrested
for. fast riding last night and came op
before the recorder-today. They paid
fines and were discharged. They were
teamsters who bad imbibed a little tod
freely, and thus for the time bad an ex-
' aggerated idea of their own importance.
'Poet and Peasant" was repeated by
The Dalles band yesterday in their af
. ternoon concert. The overture is one of
- the prettiest of musical selections, is of
a high order of merit, and its rendition
speaks well for the band. Few bands
are able to do it justice, and few there
are that attempt it.. ' .'. .
; Keller's butcher shop was burglarized
, last night. . Some one unscrewed the
r hinge from the outside screen door and
walked in.' The robber looked through
all the drawers, but found only 50 cents
to repay him for the trouble and dan

touched.' ' ":

. . The famed Italian sunsets could be no
.more radiantly beantifal than the one
- witnessed last night by citizens of The
- Dalles. Fleecy clouds filled the entire
. ky, which in the western heavens took
on a glow living with beauty. Stream
ers of light spread themselves fan-spaped '
throughout these glorified clouds, and
altogether presented one of the rarest
sights possible to witness in any clime.
Bungling safe blowers attempted to
blow open Mr. F. H. Eowe's st,fe the
night of the 4th. I: was in the open
space in the new lumber yard on Second
street and contained nothing but some
papers and books, but the burglars sup
posed it contained money and tried it.
The attempt was unsuccessful, but the
sate was almos ruined. The combina
ti6n plate was blown off and, a large in
denture made in the door. The hinge
was also tampered with. The crime
was not noticed by officers, as the time
was propitious - for all kinds' of explo
sions, and nothing was thought of it,
being the 4th of July.
The little steamer Lorelei, which came
down through the Snake and Columbia
rivers, left this morning down the river,
under the direction of her captain and
owner, Mr.. G. C. Walker. The boat
was hauled around the most dangerous
rapids several days ago. The - little
steamer is a stern-w heeler, and responds
very quickly to the movements of the
pilot. The propeller revolves very fast
and the steamer makes nine miles an
hour with little effort. The Lorelei left
for, Hood River this morning, and its
final disposition will depend upon cir
cumstances. It wonld be an admirable
pleasure launch, y
Prof. Birgfeld and family leave for
Gear lake in the morning to spend the
summer. Mr. mrgfela . will, however,
return every ' Friday to attend to his
music class. Gear lake is not a mile
from the Columbia river, but' is 600 feet
above it. It is in the Cascades in Wash
ington,' and though little known by
tourists, is one of the pleasan test of sum
mer resorts. ' In' the opinion of Prof.
Birgfeld it is a thousand per cent more
preferable than Trout lake. Gear lake
is well stocked with .'fish and is a cool,
wooded resort, with scenic attractions
second to none. . JSo one has ever
boomed it, but it might easily, be made
a very profitable summer resort. . A
hotel would be well patronized through
out the season. Mr. Gear, almost the
only inhabitant, an elderly gentleman,
has never advertised its existence,' and
comparatively few know of it.
A party of Dalles young people went
from the Regulator to the Dalles City to
meet a young friend. ' On the way back
to the Regulator they all got lost, but
the mate and several others succeeded
in rounding them up. ' On the way up
the river they . were presented with .
souvenirs little 4th of July flags.' To
the young man of party, "Jnly 4th 1896,
April Fool in July." To the main young
lady, ".July 4th, 1896, Rubber Neck."
To her two friends, "July 4th, 1896, Did
Yon Ever Get Left." and "The Stray
Lamb." . To the young lady they met,
July .4th, 1896, It Wasn't My Fault."
These souvenirs they will keep as me
mentoes of the late episode. -As they
approached the Kegulator ' they were
greeted with .the. song "They Never
Came Back." s ' ' ' ' ..

The clarionet solo of Mr. Mark Long
on Sunday was much appreciated by the
large audience present. Mr. Long is a
skillful.mnsician, as was evidenced by
the difficult solo he faultlessly rendered.
Wong Louie is afraid of becoming tbe
victim of a highbinder, all on account of
his wife. He says Ah Buck is now mak

Mr. Malcolm Moody, a cousin of Z. F.
Moody, and his daughter Miss Dora,
and Miss Edna Moody returned today to
balem. They were in ' a party which
was the first to reach the summit of Mt.
Hood this year, and returned to The
Dalles last night. The party found the
box and registered their names. Those
who made the ascent were Miss Dora
Moody, Mr. Moses, Mr. Langille and the
Messrs. Balfour.
Edwards Davis of Oakland, Calif.,
will be in The Dalles July 13th. He is
a . pianiaj , ' vocalist, : poet and orator.
Every intelligent lady and gentleman
should hear him. Tbe subject of his
lecture for The Dalles is ''The Science
of Art.". ' Edwards Davis is the young
preacher who was given much notoriety
by- the San Francisco' press something
over ' a year ago by bis dancing in the
pulpit. He is a natural actor, and was
charged by tbe press with inducing con
gregations to bear him by bis acting.
Whether it was because of this or his
remarkable oratory, tbe fact is, the
crowds that came to bear him were tre
mendous, and be was the most popular
minister, jodgqd by large audiences, in
California.

THE GLORIOUS FOURTH.
It Was Celebrated in The Dalles by the
Citizens Leaving; Io?a.
The Fourth of July was not celebrated
in The Dalles, and tbe most of oar citi
zens went out into the country and at
various points along tbe river for an out
ing on' the nation's birthday. Tbe
largest number went to Hood River, but
many went to Mosier, Bonneville and
tbe Locks, seeking quiet and shade,
rather . than celebration and noise.
Many, also, went to Dufnr, the. wagon
ette and hacks brought into use, but the
attraction of the river trip and the band
influenced far tbe greater share to take
the Regulator. -
' HOOD BIVBB.'
The principal celebration of the day
was at Hood River, probably as many
as 300 citizens of The Dalles taking the
Regulator for that beautiful vicinity
Arriving there most of Hood River peo
ple were found to be on Neal creek,
about five miles away, but there were
others, including a base ball nine, who
met The Dalles citizens. The Dalles
band gave a concert on the street, fol
lowed by dinner. J hen another con
cert, and then the ball game began
The ecore stood 13 to 13 when, unfortu
nately, an altercation began. It was
Hood River's innings, and The Dalles
nine bad one man out, and two others
on bases, when a dispute arose as to tbe
unpire's decieion, Mr. Ed. Patterson
Some one (not connected with the play
ers) very inelegantly . accused Jas. Ma
loney of being a liar, whereupon that
young man contradicted the statement
by a blow in the mouth. Others rushed
to the fallen one's aid, but Maloney held
his own against -all odds for a time,
When the fight ended, an inventory
showed ' several braised heads and
loss of considerable gore. The harmony
of the day was spoiled from this on, and
the visitors were glad to depart when
the boat whistled to go. No blame is
attached to the Hood River nine, and a
return game will be played at The Dalles
next Sunday..
. DUFUB. " . ' . .
Dufur's festivities extended from the
day before. The- afternoon of the 3d
there was horse races. On the 4th the
program consisted of music, an oration,
a barbecue and races of various kinds.
The oration by Rev. Merrill was very
fine. There were foot races, novelty
and bicycle races. In the bicycle 2-mile
race Walton Brigham was the winner

Mosier celebrated the, Fourth by the
esual program in the morning, picnic.
dinner and sports in the afternoon, with
an open air dance in the evening.
.. Double Wedding; at Dnfar.
A pretty double wedding occurred at
high noon July 3d, 1896, at the residence
of ' Mrs. ; M. - A. Thomas, Dufur, when
the Rev. T. Merrill united in marriage
Miss Inez Thomas to Mr. Edward S.
Hinman and Miss Esther Hinman to
Mr. Thomas Rohison. The brides were
becomingly gowned in white and carried
lovely bouquets of bride roses. . The
double parlors bad been converted into
bowers of . beauty by the aid of ferns,
roses and choice potted plants.' From
the arch between , tbe rooms was sus
pended a . magnificent floral horseshoe,
caught to' the sides with festoons of
maple, beneath, which the couples were
stationed, while the impressive marriage
ceiemony was read. , -- '. ; ,
' At the completion of tbe ceremony
tbe happy eouples received tha congrat
ulations of relatives . and friends, after
which all repaired to the dining-room,
where a sumptuous wedding breakfast
awaited. The delicate appointments of
the tables, the beautiful floral decora
tions and the lovely toilets of tbe ladies
created a living picture.

Hinman, Mr and Mrs Thos Robison,
Mrs M A Thomas, Mr and. Mrs Will

JACKSON GUL1CK DROWNED.
He Fall From a Fish Wheel Into the
Current of the Colombia. '
The cruel Columbia haB swallowed up
another victim. Jackson Gulick, aged
about 30 years, was drowned early yes
terday morning at bis father's fish
wheel. Some' drift had floated in the
wheel and he prepared to get it out.
Among the drift there was a log that
had floated in, which he proposed to
snare with a rope. For this purpose he
stepped upon a brace, which was thought
to be secure, but which gave way be
neath his weight, having been probably
loosened by tbe floating drift, He fell
through and , into the current, which
rapidly carried him onward and into a
whirlpool, when be sank, never to rise
again in life. His father had to witness
the agonizing spectacle unable to lift
hand in aid of bis drowning bov. The
young man must have been injured
when he first sank, for he seemed dazed
when he appeared on the. surface tbe
first time, and though a good swimmer,
made no effort to swim.
The scene of the drowning was at the
fish wheel owned by his father, which is
the first above The Dalles. It is placed
just above 3 Mile rapids, through which
Jackson Gulick. passed. The body has
not been recovered. '
Work ef an Incendiary.
Rome one set fire to Herrick's cannery
this morning, but it was fortunately dis
covered in time to check it befoe any
damage was done. About 3 o'clock a
Chinaman sitting on the walk in front of
Maetz & Pundt's saloon observed the

was turned in from "106," First street.
Tbe electric light company was phoned

blaze. Mr. said that the fire was ont.
This was easily accomplished . with'
with a small hose from the cannery, and
the fire department was not summoned.
It is . inconceivable why ' ' any
one should wish to burn the cannery.
There is little enongb business going'on

Mrs. Cassie Wiley-Hill died at 6
o'clock last evening after an illness of a
