A gentleman who came in from Klam
ath Falls last week says that Republi
cans and Democrats alike are shouting
for McKinlev out there, are doing it in
dependently and without tbe consent of
Brvan or any other people on earth, for
it is simply a matter of business pros
perity with them.-
Senator Mitchell is the ablest speaker
who is to address our citizens during the
present campaign. His reasons why
free silver Republicans should vote for
McKinlev and old established and
honorable Republican principles are en
titled to great weight, and we antici
pate, therefore, the presence of all those
divided from the party on this sole
issue.
The reporter, bearing some beantiful
music, apparently of the mandolin, but
tounding much firmer and more melo
dious, was attracted into the Jacobsen
book and music store this morning, and
was much surprised to find that it ema
nated from a beautiful piano. He was
then informed by Mr. Jacobsen that
that is the latest. Ingenuity will cer
tainly never cease, and the world of
music does not lag in the procession.
So great is the demand for Senator
Mitchell from all parts of the state that
the state central committee finds it bard
to meet all calls. It is about the same
with Geer, the fame of whose effective
speaking has spread in all directions.
Sherman county has sent at least 20 de
mands for Mitchell, but no date in that
Dart of tbe state has yet been fixed for
bim. Senator Mitchell's time has been
fully occupied all of this month, and he
has numerous dates in October, includ
ing many places in Eastern Oregon.
Judge Bellinger, in tbe United States

plaint. Tbe suit was brought to restrain
defendant from trespassing on the Cas
cade reserve, by driving and pasturing

days in which to answer. The decision
is in effect to declare the right of the
government to protect the reserve' by
civil process.

Though it was adopted last evening in
tbe interest of a losing cause, it attracted
the attention of a considerable number
of people, particularly the veterans of
the late war. -
There was an unfounded report today
that the exposition building at Portland
burned this morning. Inquiry by" tele

foundation.
The Fossil Journal damns its Gilliam

and forcible language adapted from a

We've heard there is a very sensation
al entertainment on tbe boards a week
from this Saturday, in the shape of a
tragic farce gotten up by some of our
ladies for the benefit of one of onr
churches. If all is true that is said, we
hope ye reporter will be there.

political order, tbe Patriots of America,

up in a safe-deposit vault.
Miss Dorothea Eliot of Portland has

Dalles. She may be conferred with,
either in person or by telephone, at
Mrs. Leslie Butler's, on any Thursday
afternoon or Friday morning. The les
sons will bo given either at Mrs. Butler's

ferred. The north wall at the locks is now up
ten feet, and tbe first course of stone

lay. The south wall, made of cement,
was finished a week ago. Tbe contract
ors expect to finish the work and open
tbe locks to navigation some time before
the contract date, November 15th,
Dredgers are working at both ends.
senator Mitchell, whom Oregon is
proud to know as one of the ablest seca
tors in our present congress, will address
our citizens tomorrow evening. The
opera house will be patronized on this
occasion not only by the ladies and gen
tlemen of The Dalles, but extensive pre
parations to hear him have been made
by people residing throughout the en'
tire county. Dufur, Kingsley and 8-
Mile, will send large delegations, one
McKinley club postponing it sregular
meeting in order to attend in a body,
Mrs. W. W. Brown, who is one of tbe
leading members of the Good Intent
Society, will leave soon to make ber
home in Crook county, and the meeting
of that society yesterday at the home of
Mrs. Wm. Micbell was a farewell in ber
honor. About twenty members were
present, and bad it not been for the
thought of losing one of their earnest
workers, would have been a pleasant
meeting. During tbe afternoon lunch
was served, at which time, the presi
dent, Mrs. W. H. Biggs, presented Mrs.
Brown with a set of Bilver teaspoons as
a token of the regard in which she is
held.
Friday's Dally.
A meeting of the newly-organized
Chautauqua Circle will be held tomor

The New Vogt will accommodate
something like 1000 people. . Every
inch of floor space will be occupied this
evening by adherents of all parties to
bear Senator Mitchell. A special invi
tation is extended to all free silver Republicans.
It is suggested that if Senator Mitchell
can spare a lew moments of time this
evening apart from a purely political
speech, the public will be glad to hear a
few words concerning the great internal
improvement at the Locks which has
beea tbe. source of much anxiety and
speculation for twenty years how soon
tbey are likely to be open, and what pro
vision has been made for their operation
when tbey are open.
The opening of the social season for
the Rathbone Sisters was last evening,
when the K. of P. ball was crowded with
members of that order. - After ,tne busi
ness of tbe evening had been disposed
of. including one initiation, the order
devoted themselves to pleasure. Prizes
were given for best guesses of conun
drums."- After an hour or more of social
enjoyment, a grand banquet was pro
vided. The tables were most beautifully
decorated. The festivities concluded
with a dance.
The McKinley Zoaarea.
The McKinley clnb of zouaves was or
ganized last night at the city council
chambers.
Mr. Havward Riddell was chosen
temporary chairman anct Dave Lemerson
temporary secretary, and later the or
ganization was made permanent. The
president stated tbe object of tbe meet
ing, and in response to a request for fur
ther information Mr. Kerns said that G.
J. Farley bad sent for forty zouave cos
tumes and Bixty cape uniforms.
Mr. F. W. Wilson moved that a civil
and military organization be perfected ;
that the civil part consist of a president,
vice-president, secretary and tieasurer;
that tbe military part consist of a cap
tain and first and second lieutenant;
and that an election of these officers be
made at once. The motion carried, re
sulting as follows: Havward Riddell
president, L. S. Fritz vice president,
Dave Lemerson secretary and treasurer.
These were by acclamation. The mili
tary officers were chosen by ballot, Levi
Chrisman being the unanimous choice
for captain, and J. R. McAvoy and A.
B. Kerns receiving an equal number of
votes,. On motion of Kerns, McAvoy
was chosen first lieutenant.
Captain Chrisman then made a brief
speech, in which he said the time was so
short the club must get to work and drill
at once and it was important for every
member to be present. The under
standing was' reached that Thursday
night be given to practice in Armory
ball, to learn a few of tbe simplest evo
lutions for tbe night following, on which
Senator Mitchell is to speak.
The club then adjourned, to meet at the
council chambers at tbe call of President
Riddell, or at tbe Armory at call of Cap
tain Chrisman.
WHEAT AND WOOL.'
Prices Rising, Business Improving and
Confidence Returning;.
- - 9
Business is improving. ' Whether it is
because of tbe assurance that McKinley
will be elected, or whatever the cause,
that mysterious factor called public con
fidence is surely returning.
Wheat is now worth 45 cents in Port
land and is rising. The warehouses are
paying 49 cents for first grade, and the
Diamond Flouring Mills 52 for best
quality Klickitat. About four carloads
of wheat per day is leaving The Dalles.
There is a disposition on the part of
some farmers to hold it, in anticipation
of a further rise.
Tbe wool market, also, is not station
ary by any means, though most of what
is leaving now is upon consignment.
About 4,000,000 pounds of this year's
clip has left the city already. Last
week's shipment amounted to half a
million pounds. About 100 carloads
have already gone to Boston, and all tbe
large furniture cars which arrive in The
Dalles are sidetracked in the. yards to re
ceive further shipments. Tub price of
wool has not materially improved of late,
but an indication of the feeling may be
learned by the fact that a buyer recently
offered to contract a grower's crop for
102 cents in case McKinley was elected
ine increase ot railroad business in
tbe carrying trade is denoted by the in
crease in tbe number ot trains, two
extra crews having been added in the
past week.

Increasing! Efficiency of the Band.
The band makes constant efforts to
increase its efficiency. Advertisements
have been inserted in musical journals
for an experienced musical director, who
can live in The Dalles by some other oc
cupation. A place is now open for a
good leader and cornetist as a barber,
tailor, table waiter or printer. A pbo
tographer fulfilling all tbe requirements
recently promised to come, as tbe result
of a series of letters, but a better opening
presented itself to him at just the wrong
time for the band. The band has al
ways been short of alto players, as well
as the leading born, and it is with pleas
ure we announce that Mr. M. H. Howell
of Ashland, a brother of Mrs. D. C.
Herrin, a solo alto of much merit, is
soon to arrive.
Harry TVatblns' Might Ont.
Harry Watkins, a Populist presi
dential elector,' spoke at tbe Baldwin
opera house to a large and indulgent
audience. Mr. Watkins is possessed of
considerable oratorical ability, but is de
ficient, like all Populist haranguers, in
the essential regard of logic. He drew a
beautiful picture of home life, in refined
and elegant language, and then .merci
lessly destroyed that home (in imagina
tion) by a boulful dissertation on the
evils (?) of the gold standard. However,
the speaker pleased Lib Populist friends,
and they assembled after tbe meeting.
gave him tbe glad hand, and expressed
their mutual admiration, while the
great majority of the large audience pres
ent filed sadly, thoughtfully, but quick
ly put into tbe refreshing night.

A large audience greeted "A Bowery
Girl" last evening at the New Vogt,
arger than the merits of the production
warranted. Theater-goers were gen
erally disappointed and there was
manifest lack of applause, which could
not be stirred at the last by the one re
deeming feature of the whole play, tbe
fire scene, at the close of the last act
'A Bowery" Girl' does not come up to
its pretensions and the fine quality of
its advertising paper. Its tragedy is
weak and its comedy insipid. The
specialty songs and dances are fair is
their way, but are nothing above
mediocre. "A Bowery Girl" assumes to
be a melodrama, but the plot is hyster
ical and the situations impossible. The
heroics of tbe star in the title role are so
plainly for stage purposes that the at
tempted counterfeit of real life betrays
itself too plainly. The heroine, a girl
stripling of 16 years, who foils the heavy
villain by her physical prowess in
parlor full of people, Is always behind a
table or a box to listen to his plans, and
in the last act, after fair warning, fall i
victim to bis stiletto with faint resist
ance, has too much of the essence of the
dime novel to suit an intelligent audi'
ence. There are redeeming features of
the production! but they are apart from
tbe plot and tbe actors. They consist in
tbe properties. I he special scenery is
perhaps the finest ever shown in the
city. The palisades on the Hudson, the
bowery in New York City, and the scene
of the roof tops of the city, the latter
culminating in the finest fire scene the
writer ever witnessed, are worthv of
generous praise.

That is. the price on some wagons has fallen below our price on "OLD

alongside of the "OLD HICKORY" at the same prices. It is the best ironed,
