The Dufur Dispatch correctly predicts that next spring after the opening of the Locks, The Dalles will Bee a gennine business boom especially in the build ing and real estate lines. ' Complaints have been made that the landing at the ferry on the Oregon side is so steep that teams are almost stalled : trying to pull up it. The matter might be remedied at very slight expense by the proper authorities. Judge L. R. Webster ; addresses the citizens of Boyd tonight.. Attorney H. S. Wilson speaks this evening at Hood River. Messrs. B. S. Huntineton and N. J. Sinnott will speak Monday ttight at 8-Mile at White's school house and at ' Kingsley on the 14th. . ... rut T T-v? fortunate tnis year, ine uuiur ub patch reports another accident to that gentleman. He accidentally got his left hand under the blade of a teed chop per last Monday, which so mangled the two middle fingers as to render their amputation necessary. Henry Keuiino," of Farmington, in Washington county, was attacked Mon day by a mad boar. He was driving the hogs out of a stubble field when the infuriated animal rushed upon him and thrust his tusks into Kemino's thigh, above the knee, striking the bone and lacerating the muscles. A doctor was called and dressed the ' wound, 'and thinks that if blood-poisoning should not set in the man will get along an right. . A phenomenal pumpkin vine was raised this year by Mr. Burchtorf on Mill creek. It covers a space as large as that between the four corners of in tersecting streets in The Dalles. It bears twenty-two large pumpkins of an average weight of 24 pounds, to say nothing of the small ones, and hence has over 440 pounds of pumpkin. The vine can be seen Dy anyone curious enougn to walk np on the hill, besides other vegetable curiosities worth looking at. The worst piece "of road in the county at the present time is that between The Dalles and Floyd's, about five miles dis tant. It is reported that three wagons broke down upon it yesterday and one the day previous. There is an enormous amount of taxable property along the .line of this road, and the only one for which those property owners contribute. Being th main traveled road from Sher man county it should be repaired as soon as possible. Our readers will excuse us from re porting the matinee this afternoon, "The Garroters." There was no possible way for our reporters to witness it. The windows were curtained, the ventilators deadened and even the keyholes guarded. If some lady friend will not condescend to furnish us with a report, the play must ever remain a mystery to the num erous husbands, fathers and brothers of those who attended whq,' after all, are about as inquisitive aa they claim the gentler sex to be. . : .

The Wizard Oil Company arrived. in the city . this morning and begins week's engagement at the Vogt opera house tonieht. - This is one .of the strongest companies of the kind in ex istence in the "United- btates. The show they- present is refined, artistic and moat entertaining. Among the company are some excellent comedians. dancers and specialty men. It is the product of fifteen years of travel con stantly improving. The admission fee is placed at the very low sum of 15 cents, and the house will doubtless'be crowded nightly.. ' ' . . " There will be a stereopticon exhibi Hon of Pacific Northwest views with lecture Wednesday night under the aus pices of the Artisans. Rev. O. B. Whit- tnore. who delivered the sermon at the M. E. church last, evening, is the ex hibitor and lecturer. The . views are said to be the finest anywhere, eighty of them being hand-painted by Mrs. Weister, who has charge of the art de partment at Portland university. The screed is a very large one, being twenty feet square in dimensions. One lens shows a picture of this size sixty feet away, the other lens shows a twenty feet square picture forty feet distant. This very fine exhibition will take place Wednesday evening next ' at K. of P. hall. . "Take out your pencil sand I will give you a good item," eaid Robert Kelley as The CnBpxicLE and Times-Mountaineer reporters appeared simultaneously at the sheriff's office today. Out came the note books and pencils,' while a beautiful smile bespread the expectant faces of the newspaper men. "Are you all ready?" said Kelley. "Yes," hurry up,-" "-was . the simultaneous reply. "Well, Harvey Scott's brother is dead," and in answer to the puzzled look be burst into a laugh and presented the following clipping from today's Ore gonian: "There is a story 'going the rounds' that 'a brother of the editor of The Oregonian, named Robert Scott, re pudiates the gold standard.' The editor of The Oregonian has no living brother, and knows no one named Robert Scott." ' - Tuesdays. Dally ..Wizard Oil Company - At the New Vogt tonight. . ' - ' . Senator John H.

Grant Mays and Thompson were in Mitchell last week buying cat tle, and purchased some yearlings and 2-year-olds at $11 and $16. The stereopticon exhibition Wednes day evening at K. of P. ball will be something very fine. The apparatus is now on exhibition in A. M. Williams & Co. 'a window. H. C. Myers of Heppner, Morrow county, has filed an assignment for the benefit of his creditors in the office of Recorder Malcolm in Portland. The assignee is John Myers. - Mr. N. Whealdon -is exhibiting a specimen of what he calls "Pennoyer wool," which is a fine quality of asbes tos found in the John Day country. The ledge is about half an inch in thick ness, between solid walls of rock. If we were a gambling man and had a loose hundred-dollar piece lying in our vest pocket we would plank it down against $50 that Wasco county will give McKinley a majority of 500 on the 3d of next month. Antelope Herald. ' OrviUe Hendershot, a young man for merly a resident of this city, made an unsuccessful attempt at suicide in Port land early yesterday morning. He suc ceeded only in inflicting a slight flesh wound by shooting himself in the side with a revolver. . ' . J. E. Campbell of the Warm Springs agency, informs the Prineville Review that the work on the government echool buildings is progressing very rapidly. Several fine structures are being erected, and the government is going to consid erable expense in so doing. ' A petition is being circulated signed by a large number of "poor innnocent j men ' for tne . iaaies -mespian uiuo to repeat their excellent entertainment of Saturday last in the Baldwin ' opera house for the delectation of the petitioners.- The ladies promise to "think over it." ; v - David B. Hill,, who has for many years carried the state of New York ,in his yest pocket, estimates that McKin ley will carry that state by no less than 150,000 plurality.,' Coming from such a high Democratic ' source, it shows that one can safely gamble on the empire state setting down hard on Bryan and alibis wild" theories. - PLEAD GUILTY. -. .'- i Guy Moulton Fined 810 for Bending; Obscene Letters Through the , , . Hails..' 1 :' . Guy ;L.i Monltoo, proprietor of the steam dye works, at The Dalles, was ar raigned in the United States district court yesterday charged with harrowing his wife, from whom he is separated, by tending her letters courhed in abusive, taunting language,- and , naming the woman and her relatives in appellations not fit- for print. The trial was short, the defendant pleading entity and he was fined $10. The Oregonian today says : "He looked pale and disgusted, and had evidently made, np bis mind that the easiest way out of it was the best, as he waived reading of the complaint and pleaded guilty. There njust have been some extenuating circumstances connected with bis case, as the court im posed a fine of only $10, which was paid. Mr. Moulton will now give up corre sponding with the lady." Deputy Marshal Humphrey, who ar rested Moulton at The Dalles, tells the Telegram .this story of the prisoner's chagrin on finding himself in the mar-, sbal's presence. ' , " - "In the dye works business Moulton ?s father is connected with him, and it seems that the pair bad received an ink ling of - the proposed arrest. Moulton had therefore cautioned his father to keep a close watch for any government officer that might come about the place and give warning to the writer of ob scene letters that he mizht make good his escape by the rear windows. As it happens, Deputy . Marshal Humphrey's home is in Albany, where also the Monltons long resided before removing to The Dalles, and all parties were well acquainted. Humphrey ar rived to make the arrest early in the morning, finding the v elder Moulton arisen, but the younger still in bed. - 1 T nrnnt. in baa inv ' citiitt tho nffipAF "Peter Moulton opened his month to give a warning, but the look on his face gave his purpose away. ; : "'Don't!' quietly said Humphrey. 'If you do you'll both go to jail.; Just tell Guy a gentleman is in the shop waiting to see him.' The old man, overawed, did as he was told, and a moment later the younger Moulton appeared. He got a glance at the marshal and 6tarted back aghast. ' . " 'Holy smoke, dad 1 You bloody old fool !' he yelled, 'don't vou see it's Humphrey?' and started to beat a hasty retreat, but was induced by the officer to hold bis ground. " 'I knew it, Guy; I knew it,' wailed the pater, 'but Humphrey wouldn't let me holler. " - v i , We were . never in a position to offer such values in our Underwear Department as . -we are this Pall.

The cattlemen of the Soat'ufork conn try, last spring, organized for toe pur pose of excluding sheep from a portion of their section of the country and early in the summer they made considerable trouble for the sheepmen, killing many beep and burning provisions. An eye witness brings to ' the Prine ville Journal an account of their latest exploit : Some sheep from the Mitchell country, moved in on . territory which the cattlemen say shall not be herded by sheep. One day last week, fourteen armed men visited this trespassing band of sheep and' one of the party, who' was masked, relieved the herder of his gun, at the same time giving him some point ers a9 to the inadvisability of his remain ing ip that section of the country if he placed any valuation on bis life. ' The whole party then fired into the band of sheep, killing and wounding from 200 to 250 head, burned the camp outfit and departed; promising to return again' if the Bheep were in that locality at a given time.

Highest Honors World's Pair, . Gold Medal, Midwinter Fair. ? CREAM Most Perfect Made. . 40 Years the Standard. The Baldwin opera house rarely, if ever, contained such a fair audience as greeted "The Garroters'.' Saturday after noon, and even the sterner sex could not exceed . them in appreciation, for all through the farce load applause and peals of laughter might be bard. Miss Grubbs' training showed to good advan tage, as both ladies and gentlemen (?) performed their respective parts to the satisfaction of all. ' .- , . . The plot runs thusly: Mrs. Roberts of Boston, who is to do the honors of hostess to a large circle of friends that evening, sends ber dutiful, "henpecked" husband on an errand before their arri val. On his way through the Commons, just as he bad unfastened bis coat to look at his watch, a man brushed heavi ly against him, and missing his watch immediately after he concludes the man has robbed him, runs after him, and snatches that article from bis pocket. Returning home exhausted, he relates bis adventures to bis "worse half," who upon the arrival of each guest rehearses his exploits, so enlarging upon . them that she finally makes it appear a gang of garroters had attacked him and, in his successful attempts to regain - his property be was injured internally. She also makes him out a perfect hero. In a short time Mr. Beniis enters, and with his coat torn open, bis - bair disheveled, and his whole appearance - indicating bad UBage, he announces that he has been robbed of his watch while crossing the Commons. ..During the conversation Roberts grows uneasy and stealthily asks his brother-in-law, Willis Campbell, to accompany him to his dressing room, where they are soon discovered, Roberts confronting Campbell holding tip two watches, having found upon investiga tion that he had left his own watch on the bureau, and consequently could not have been robbed, but on the contrary had robbed his guest, Mr. Bern is. Campbell, who is a diabolical mischief maker, endeavors to -farther annoy him by enlarging on the enormity of the crime, while he plans means for Robe its to explain the matter. In the mean time Dr. Law ton, who is a match for Campbell, discovers the secret and dis closes it to the guests, much to the con sternation of Mrs. Crash aw, Roberts' aunt. 'Roberta and Campbell soon ap pear, after the latter has concocted a plan for explanation, which he knows the former, with bis honest, upright character, can never carry out. After some banier between Law ton and Camp bell, Roberts attempts to carry out the plan, but ends with confessing all and securing Bemis' pardon, which greatly amuses the company, woo Dad been forewarned.- .' . . The farce . afforded much mirth, apd together with the musical program, was a decided success. .Chief among the musical attractions ' was the male (?) quartette, "There Was An Old Woman All Skin and Bones." In anewer to an encore some good local hits were ' made. there is nothing to look at bat the drop curtain. . As before stated, the show part of it is "immense," and reveals a surprising variety, comprising the pleasing features of (he concert, the minstrel, the circus and the , comedy. The quartette have excellent voices and sing fresh, -new songs. Mr. Gallagher is possessed of a rich bass voice and is a comedian and facial artist of rare ability. The tenor in his solos was pleasing, the rendition of "Bonnie, Sweet Bessie," one of the prettiest of old 8cotch ballads, being plaintive and sweet. The little man is a wonder as an acrobat, and his short stature makes his song and dance appear very comical. The juggler has also much talent,, and his baton spinning was never excelled in The Dalles. The evening concluded with a -roaring farce comedy, full of fun, which put the large audience in the best of humor. The opera house will be crowded nightly, as the entertainment is deserving of liberal patronage. . - ' The Coming District Fair.' Land Office Transactions. The Wizard Oil Go. The Wizard Oil Company is- more meritorious than half the vaudeville shows now on the road pretending to be first-class. Of course for the privilege of being admitted for 15 cents, one must listen to a talk upon the merits of Wiz ard oil, but the talk is short and actual ly interesting, and consumes no' more time than the space between acts when Hardly second in public estimation to the subject of politics is the Eastern Oregon District fair, which opens on Tuesday next at the-fai grounds. A little inquiry shows there is a lively in terest taken in the different features, and all indications point 'to a successful fair. As regards exhibits, they promise to be unexcelled in variety and high quality. The racing features, also, have excited great interest,, and besides the local favorites, there will be as many as forty racing horses from abroad. A new de vice for starting in a race will be shown for the first time, known as the electric starting gate. The horsesvare all. lined up in front of s web stretching entirely across the track. At the instant the button is touched the web disappears and the horses then have an even start, no failures. - ..Surprise Party. On Monday evening at the home of L. L. McCartney, there, was a surprise party given for Miss Annie Cos. : Those present were, Mrs. Parkins, Mr. and Mrs. Fagan, Mrs. S. Davis, Miss Edith Davis, Mrs. Becht and family, Mr! and Mrs. John Fagan," Mr,. Irvin Par kins, Mr. C. Fagan and family, Mrs. Mary Thompson, Miss Meaby,Mr. Harry Davis", Mrs. McMaley and family, Mr. Charlie Davis, Mr. -Dinsmore Parrish and family. A most enjoyable evening was spent. Games were played and mueic was furnished by Mrs. L, McCart ney and Mr. Irwin Parkins, with violin and guitar. Refreshments were served and the party broke np at 11 :30. - Beginning with tonight, the streets of Eugene will again be lighted by elec tricity, after a period of darkness lasting nearly three months. At the meeting of the city council last . evening the terms of the electric light company were accepted, aod it was voted to contract for 24 arc lights at the price of $9 each per month. --.
