A meeting was held at 4 o'clock this after noon at, the hall for the purpose of in structing in the work. The fullest pos sible attendance is requested. Mr. James Kelly of Kingsley came in last evening. He is a staunch Republi can and one of tbe moat, unswerving champions of McKinley, protection and Bound money in tbe state. He was present when Judge Webster spoke at Kingsley and pronounces him one of the most able and convincing speakers of the campaign. . Mrs. H. E. Balch left today for San Francisco, to' be absent several weeks. She took with her some curious-looking pets, being a pair of Arctic, cats, with long white silken fur adapted to the cold weather of that region. These cats are descendants of tbe pets of a Mrs. John son, a very wealthy woman of San Francisco, now deceased, who" be queathed a fund of $20,000 to care for her cats as long as they lived.

Curtis has just received a letter announcing the death of Mr. Rnfus Roecoe ac Victoria, B. C. His fa neial occurred at 2:30 pm. Wednes day. Tbe deceased was very much re spected and greatly beloved by those who knew him in this community, where he lived prior to foar years ago, The remaining members of the family consist of a wife, a eon and a daughter, to whom the sympathies of this commu nity are universally extended. Mrs. S. Myrtle left for Boise last night after coming up from Cascade Locks Seven months ago her husband left her at the Locks, bound for Sitka, Alaska, on a fishing expedition, since which time she has heard nothing from him. She became destitute, her funds becom ing exhausted. Coming to Tbe Dalles she found friends, being a lady of refine ment, and was assisted by Judge Mays to reach Boise, where she has friends of long standing who will help her. Anyone who neglects to hear Gen. Geo. H. Williams at the opera house Saturday night will bave cause tor sin cere regret, Mr. Williams has been a history-maker himself for a long period of years. No mau in tbe state. has been more intimately acquainted with tbe great statesmen of this' country who bave operated on tbe field of action since the beginning of the civil war. He is a man of remarkable discernment, of wide information and is possessed of an intel ligence naturally gifted, and - later trained to wrestle with the great prob lems of economic science as they have appeared. ' ndtao Love That SnrTlYes ToutU.- ' An aged Indian' couple is reported near the city trying to maintain life as best they may. They are said to be about 80 years old each. Contrary to all traditional Indian customs, the . hus band, who can speak good English, cares very tenderly for hie aged wife.. In dians usually, regard their wives, when they become old, as cumbersome cattle, and their portion' is neglect, sometimes abuse, which makes them an easy prey to death. The old couple spoken of do not follow -the policy of their race, but are very regardful of tbe welfare of tbe other.' Thev are having a hard time to inai: a live of it, but if the storms and exprMi,-t of the .coming winter prove too severe for one of them, the survivor will mournfully attend to the proper funeral ceremony of the deceased. If they go together, it will be with a mu tnal look of love into each, other's eyes as the film that death bequeaths grows over them. - . .

He halted and stumbled,- and souttered and ranted, at the Baldwin opera bouse last evening, while following tbe usual lines of the new and popnlistic doctrine of tbe Dem ocratic party, until tbe more intelligent part ' of the audience assembled were sorry for bis sake they were present to witness his discomfiture. -Weatherford should never enter a joint debate. There were a dozen men present last evening, who had they been allowed ten minutes, would have strewn Mr. Weatherford 's labored theories to the four winds. There was nothing new in his remarks, so far as his often obscure meaning could be figured out. He upheld the right of American citizens to criticize the supreme court; reiterated the long- since exploded theory that the federal government has no right to interfere with . the rights of a etate when that state is under the rule of a-mob; and re-dcclared that international agreement for bimetallism is not to be desired nor sought. But all of these arguments are already ' familiar, ' . The only mistake made by tbe Democratic campaign com mittee was in sending out such a poor declaimer as Weatherford, when there are hundreds of bright boys and girls in the land who can repent the speech with all the arts and graces of the elocution ist, without the frequent, repetitions, and without the awful and glaring errors both of rhetoric and grammar, which Mr. Weatherford inflicts upon u help less audience.!. Big Failure la Albany. The Albany Woolen Mills -have been crushed by indebtedness. A dispatch says: A receiver was appointed for tbe Albany Woolen' Mills yesterday, upon complaiut in Judge Hewitt's court. The plaintiff's are J. M. Moyer L. D. Cole, E. D Moyer and Mrs. F. F. Craft, the owners of ninety-six shares of the stock in the Albany Woolen Mills Co., of the value of of $48,000, and constitute the whole board of directors..' The indebted ness of the mill is given at $120,000, and the value of .the -entire . property, em- wagons Has Dropn Elil Closes Oct. 17th. bracing the goods, notes, accounts, etc.. at 1140.000. The complaint states that, owing to the scarcity of money and the great de preciation in tbe market value of proper ties, the defendant has not been able to secure funds to meet the indebtedness of tbe company, that a large amount of goods .is in process of . manufacture, therefore the appointment of a receiver of tbe property is asked for. J; inn was appointed -receiver. ' "j ' . . , ' The present action' was precipitated by the attachment of tbe property of J. M. Moyer & Co., of Portland, for $8,000 ' by tbe Eastern firm of .'
