The 10-year-old daughter of Mr. and.
Mrs. Lemon- was buried this afternoon
The funeral took place -from the house
on the hill.
The public schools of the city will
open a week from Monday. This will
be the first Monday in September, which
falls on September 7th. ,
The Wyoming Republicans have norai
nated a woman for one of their presi
dential electors. Her hueband being a
. Democrat, she may have to sue him for
- non-support. :
In some parts of the East the farmers
are 'so wrought on politics that they
paint signs on their houses, barns or
gates to show how they stand on the
money question. ' , '
There are scarcely any vacant honses
in the city. Building, although it has
been reasonably brisk all summer, fails
to keep up with the reqduirements
Tenement houses would yield a good re
torn on the money invested.
A notice is posted np on the poetoffice
door asking everyone to watch out for
. Archie Beers, a 11 -year-old runaway
from Chicago. The picture accompanies
the notice and he don't look to be any
' more valuable than the ordinary kid of
that age.
All that was mortal of R. G. Closter
was laid to rest this morning by the Ma
sonic fraternity, of which the deceased
was a prominent member. The Odd
Fellows also attended in a body. Dr,
Leavens of the Cascades came np to at-
' tend the funeral.
There has not been a line of reliable
news a tangible fact so far which
would enable anyone to lay there is any
gold whatever in the new so-called min
ing district of Lookout monntain in Ska
mania county. Even the enthusiastic
Timothy O'Snllivan confines himself to
extraneous subjects, and has more to
say concerning the people coming in
than the finds anyone has ever made.
It is reported that the game law is be
ing recklessly violated by hunters who,
instead of waiting for the' open season
for Chinese pheasantB, are slaughtering
them daily. A farmer who came to
town yesterdav said that he believed be
heard five hundred shots fired during
the forenoon. He said hundreds of
pheasants are being killed. Oregon has
good wholesome game laws and they
should be enforced. The game warden'
should take prompt steps to prevent this
wholesale violation of law. Albany
Democrat.
McCl ore's magazine for September
will contain the first report ever pub
lished of Abraham Lincoln's famous
"Lost Speech," delivered at Blooming
ton, before the first Republican state
convention held in Illinois. "I never
witnessed such a scene before or since,"
eavs Joseph Medill, editor of the Chicago
Tribune, who was a member of the con
vention and writes an introduction to
the report of the speech describing the
occasion.
One of the neatest and altogether the
most appropriate of the many campaign
badges is a McKinley button originated
by F. E. Mellis, of Baker City. It con
sists of a diamond-shaped metal plate,
. half an inch long on each side, one-half
of which is gold and the other half eil-
' ver, the back of both being gold, and
across the face in blue enamel letters is
the word "McKinley." This teaches the
Republican doctrine of maintenance of
the parity of gold and silver, and the use
of both metals as money,' the silver be
ing backed by gold. These campaign
badges promise to become very popular.
E. McNiel has filed a complaint
against J. G. and I. NV Day for the re
plevin of engine No. 291. The Day
Bros, claim' they bought it from the
Union Pacific and McNiel claims it was
not theirs to sell or at any rate it belongs
. to the O. R. & N. Co. since the road has
passed from' the hands of a receiver.
, Sheriff Driver went down today to locate
the engine, but the nearest he came to
it was the number 291 ', marked with a
lead pencil below the headlight. Other

The Spokesman-Review is circulating
a superbly beautiful publication entitled
"A Race for Empire and Other Tree
Tales of the Northwest.", . The resident
of the East into bands the book may
fall will be astonished to find that the
"wild and woolv" .'. West contains so
much substantial architecture, bo many
great industrial enterprises and so grand
and varied natural scenery as is here
represented bv the engravings from life
with which the book is as foil as a plum

that there was a mortgage on the office
and. not being an athlete, it was too

The annual M. E. conference begins
next Wednesday at North Yakima and
extends over until the following Mon
day. Rev. Hoskins of . the Cascades
came up last night, and with Rev. Wood
of this city will attend it. ,
The third annual fruit fair at Spokane

articles donated for exhibition purposes.
One more effort will be made to settle
the marshal proposition.- The city
council meets tonight with a full board
to ascertain if five out of nine men can
agree upon a nomination: Ihe special
meeting is called owing to the fact that
one of the councilmen will be absent at
the regular meeting.
The Chronicle sanctum has been
visited by many Missouriaus this after
noon and will doubtless be visited by
many more tomorrow, when it is known
that there is now on exhibition some
fine samples of persimmons, sassafras,
pawpaw, hackberry,- black haw, sarvis
black oak, burr oak, ash, hickory, chin'
copm and Bumac. The - specimens are
fresh and green and' were recently gath
ered by Mr1. 1. J. Norman, who returned
last night with his daughter from a visit
to Missouri after an absence of 1 J years.
The championship cup, won by the
hose team, is very handsome and is now
on exhibition in Pease & Mays' window.
The cup stands about 10 inches high.
On the bowl is engraved various sym
bols of the fire service a hat, ladder,
pikes, etc. The handles are representa
tions of hose coiled in the desired shape,
and attached to hydrants. The cover is
surmounted by the representation of a
flame. The cup is a beautiful specimen
of the jeweler's art and is well worth
striving for. It must be won three times
in succession before a company is en
titled to it perpetually.
The residents of Mosier were alarmed
last evening as to the safety of Albert
Eberi, who with his hrotber, Ben, has
been engaged in the fishing business
there for the past two years. It was
noticed he was absent and inquiries
were started, which resulted in ascer
taining the fact that no one had seen
him for several hours. He was laBt
seen on McUIure a lake fishing, and
thinking he must have drowned therein,
the entire night was spent trying to find
his body by the alarmed ranchers. If
they had known the truth, that Albert
was comfortably snoozing in bed in The
Dalles, having come up in the night
without saying "nothin' to nobody,"
they would have saved themselves much
trouble and anxiety of mind.
Friday's Sally.
The Roseburg public school will not

The thunder storms of . yesterday
missed The Dalles, - though both rain
and lightning were near at hand. In
Umatiila county the effects were more
severe. A son of A. T. Perkins, living
north of Pendleton 16 miles, was struck
by lightning during the progress of
thunder storm. He lies unconscious
and may die. He was driving a water
tank at the time the stroke came.

McKlnley's Acceptance.
Major McKinley issued his letter of
acceptance yesterday. It is a . verv
lengthy document and strong through'
out. It is a plain presentation of the
issues of the campaign in simple lan
guage, and an able defense of the pria
ciples of sound money,' protection and
reciprocity. The monetary question is
handled at great length and forms an in
vincible argument against the free coin
age - ol silver at the ratio 01 lt to 1
Other questions discussed are foreign
mmigration, liberal pensions for soldiers
and sailors, the building up of the mer
chant marine, civil service reform, etc,
The length of the document prevents
The Chroniclk from publishing it at
this time. It will doubtless, however,
constitute one of the best campaign doc
umenta and be printed and circulated
by the tens of millions. The Oregonian
says of it in part : ' "McKinley's letter
of acceptance will surprise friends and
foes alike. It discovers breadth of view,
intellectual grasp, power of clear state
ment, command of elementary princi
pies, keen discrimination of the essen
tial, with which bis admirers have not
credited him. He has been reticent to
good purpose, if he has thought out this
masterly discussion of public questions
while an impatient party has been clam
oring for him to break silence."

v CREAM
FROM CRATER LAKE.
The Haiimii Are Returning; from .
Highly Successful Oatlng-.
: W. lj. fcteel writes to the Oregonian a
very interesting account of the Mazamas
at Crater Lake: ' ' ' ..
Friday morning- the ' heavy, fall of
smoke that had obscured Crater lake
was gone, and Mazama day broke clear
and beautiful: During the forenoon the
club met in the crater of Wizard island,
elected a number of new-members and
transacted such other business as was
necessary. The afternoon was given up
to strolls and climbs, and an audience
of 250 attended the exercises about the
camp fire. . The meeting was; opened by
an excellent recitation by Miss Newman,
and was followed by the president's ad
dress, at the close of which Miss Fay
Fuller was Introduced and recited an
original poem on Crater lake ; ' tben,
with a few appropriate words, broke a
bottle of water distilled from the snow
of Wizard island's crater and officially :
bestowed the name of the club on the
hitherto unnamed mountain. She was
quickly followed by the lusty club yell
and the explosion of firecrackers and
Winchester rifles. Mr." W ilbur was then
introduced as toastmaster, and the fol
lowing responses were given: '"Mount
Mazama," by J. S. Diller; "That Tired
Feeling." by Professor Everman : "The
Forest Trees," by Dr. C. Hart Mernam
The Poetry of -Nature," by Captain O.
C. Applegate; "The Cascade Range For
est Reserve," by W. G. Steel. Professor
Everman gave the result of his. search
for fish tood in the lake, of which he re
ported an abundance.
The entire party then adjourned to
the walls of the lake, and gave a signal
to Mr. C. C. LewiB and Professor Hutch
inson, Who were on the island, and im
mediately a brilliant red light shot forth
in the night air, and again the old crater
was ablaze. . Aside from the large num
ber of camperB around the lake, qnite 4
number of Indians bad come dp from
the agency, and were greatly delighted
to see a fire that destroyed no timber,
So, it came to pass that a day of general
rejoicing closed in a halo of glory. There
never was a happier baud of mountain-
climbers than gathered on the walls of
the lake to watch the brilliant light on
Wizard island.- So far no incident,
however trivial, has occurred to mar the
pleasure of our party. The entire trip
has been one succession of successes and
unlooked-for pleasures ' have followed
each other in quick succession. Six
hundred people have visited the lake, of
whom over forty were' members of the
Klamath Falls Crater Lake Club. On
Saturday morning Mr. and Miss Pit
tock, Mrs. Middleton, Mies Leadbetter,
Messrs. Parsons, Marmon, Scott and the
writer left camp on the way home.
left the remainder of the party at Pros
pect, and walked to Central Point, 45
miles distant, in time to catch. Sunday
evening s nortn-Douna irain. ine
others will arrive in Portland Wednes
day, and those who left camp Monday
morning will get here on Thursday. So
clobed one of the most successful outings
ever attempted, and every one seemed
sorry to seek again the ways of city life
and civilization.
BY THE SAD SEA WAVES.
A Very Interesting Letter by a Dalleson
Abroad.
Long Beach, Wash., Aug. 25, '96.
Editor Chronicle :
In spite of my intention to write and
eive you a full account of the proceed
ings of the Press Association while in
session at Astoria, I find it has passed
and every moment was so occupied that
writing was an impossibility. However,
t is not too late to say that it was the
most successful in every way business
and socially I have yet attended.
About sixty-five were in attendance,
and all seemed determined to see that
the meeting was not one of pleasure
alone, but that the welfare of the asso
ciation was promoted as well. Besides
the routine business, a number of very
fine papers were read, those oy Mr.
Himes, the historian, and Mrs. Olive
England, being especially good. - The
most enjoyable of the sessions was held
at Gearhart Pafk on the afternoon of
Friday, the 21st, at .which time the new
officers were elected. The association
was particularly happy in their selection
of a president, and all felt that Mr.. A.
W. Patterson, of the Heppner Gazette,
just the president who will put life
and earnestness into the work. You
have no doubt had glowing accounts of
the hospitality; of Astoria . people from
our winners of the championship race in'
the hose contest, and let me say that
even in their enthusiasm ' over their vic
tory and the royal manner in which
they were treated they cannot do the
subject justice, for if they were enter
tained as well as the members of the
PreBS Association, they could not .be
otherwise than enthusiastic. Mr. G. T.
Gratke, of the Astoria Daily Budget,
waB chairman of the reception commit
tee, and together with the other mem
bers, did everything possible to make us
enjoy ourselves.
Baker City was chosen as the next
place of meeting and September as the
month. ; -
After the meeting adjourned a number
of members came over to Is or th Beach
to spend Sunday, and left the writer to
enjoy the remainder of her- vacation by
what is termed the "sad sea waves." I

am not going to tell you about the waves
"kissing the shore," for I think ft mean
to give anything of that sort away; nor
that, as a jwy gentleman said, as I
109k at the oaean I think "How infi
nitely small is man," for , I guess that
poor fellow bad been trying to distribute
himself among the many lone females at
the beach, and, in the worda of the im
mortal Cradlebaugb, wiuhed he'd been
"born twins." However, North Beach
does not remind one of heaven, as most 1
beaches, for at some of the resorts, men
are absolutely an unknown quantity. 1
One thing I have found out,, whereas at
the association Republicans were in the
majority, here things Democratic are
more numerous. Protection is in the
background, unless it is in regard to
foreign importation, and most of the
married' men, as well as the women,
have the wool pulled over their eyes.
Be-ides, free silver is paramount sil
very waves silvery eande, 16 to 1, (six
teen, women to one man) and everything
has a Bryan-y flavor, while the roar of
the silvery bellows reminds one of the
Democratic convention, but with all the
roar they end in. foam.
North Beach is- about 30 miles in
length, and for most of the distance 'is
dotted with stations, and quite thickly
populated. Every where one goes may
be seen the pleasant countenances of
Dallesites. At Ocean Park the family of
N. Harris resides; at Nahcotta H. C.
Keilsen and family and H. Klindt; at
Centerville the families of D. M. and S.
French, W. Lord, I. A. Hudson, H.
Glenn, W. H. Wilson and Mrs. Mary
Laugblin are occupying cottages, while
stray friends from home saunter in at all
times of tbe day. ' .'
Mrs. G. C. Blakeley is a guest at Sum-
merside cottage, where L. E. Crowe and
wife were until coaipelled to leave yes
terday on account of Mr. Crowe's sick
ness.
There are many places of interest to
visit, and we inten-t to miss none of
them ; nor will we leave the breakers
for our friends to jump alone, though a
crab ebould get hold of our toes. .
One or the Six.
Working- Them Too Bard.
It is little wonder The Dalles team did
not win the first races of the tourna
ment, when it is considered that
the cart tbey 'were compelled to
drag was twice as heavy as that
of any other team. Their cart weighed
600 pounds exclusive of hose; and with it
and the trappings, abont 1,000 pounds.
It was almost eaongb to stall a horse,
and then to think that twelve men were
compelled to drag this immense dead
weight and rim at breakneck speed or
lose the race, is calculated to draw tears.
The ether teams had carts weighing 300
pounds. It was comparatively easy to
start off with so light a cart and to main
tain a good rate of speed with ease. Not
so with the big cart. The effort to start
the unwieldy affair and get it under
headway left tbe boys panting and ex
hausted before 25 yards had been cov

ered. They were in no condition to
race after such a useless task. It is a
wonder some of them did not break '
blood vessel. The, tact that they were
only beaten by six inches in the hub-and-hub
race shows of what superior
timber our boys are , constructed. In
this race the winning team also had a
start of thirty feet. The department
should have a racing cart. All the carta
in the city are service carts and rery
heavy, and it is nothing short of im
posture to inflict so heavy a burden upon
our own boys, making them work
harder than every other' team to win a
prize, to say nothing of the danger of
losing tbe honors altogether through so
unfair a handicap.. .. . .
C
F. LAUER FOR MARSHAL.
The Third Name Presented by tbe Mayor
Received Confirmation.
The vexed marsbalsbip question has
been settled at last: At a special meet
ing called for the purpose last evening
five of the councilmen agreed upon a
name, and there will not be another
farce of the kind which has lasted two
months for another ten. It is a mistake
to suppose the mayor and conncil are
not as tired of the new way of choosing
a marshal as the people are. By the
change made by the legislature in The
Dalles city Charter, the mayor is given
supposed authority to appoint a marshal. '
But actual experience proves it to be a
myth. Tbe only power with which the'
mayor is gifted is that be need appoint
no one who is peruana non grata to him
self. The difficulty is that tbe appointee
most also be the personal choice of five
of the councilmen, which is a very diffi
cult requirement. The mayor and the
council are aware that the position in
which both have been placed has not
been a dignified one, and they would
have been glad to have disposed of the
marshal appointment long ago.
At the meeting last night, a full coun
cil was secured about 9 o'clock, when
they were called to order by tbe mayor,
Mr. Menefee. He at once presented a
list of namee, the third name securing
tbe requisite five ballots. . Tbe name of
L. S. Davis was first presented and
lacked one of confirmation ; Jess Blake
ney lacked two; while C. F. Lauer re
ceived five votes of the nine and was de
clared elected tnarehal.
The only other business was the read
ing of a petition asking for the opening
of the south aud east side of block 28
Referred to committee on Btreets and.
public property.
