Dalles Thursday. The Oregonian men
tions it, but we can find no authority
for it here. That is we do not know of
anyone here receiving notice of the fact
from Astoria. The party will be
brought up in the Harvest Queen and
Thompson. Our Astoria friends will be
gladly welcomed, for though they live
down at tbe mouth, they are far from
being that way themselves.

iseue.
A west, wind has been blowing nearly
all day, but it does not seem to have
much Chinook in it. Tbe thermometer
kept above freezing point though, and
nearlr all the snow is gone from the
streets and sidewalks.
Ed. Marshal, found guilty of larceny,
was yesterday sentenced to-pay a fine of
$25. The jury recommended him to the
mercy of the court, and the fact that be
had spent nearly five months in jail
awaiting trial,, no doubt, bad much to
do with making bis sentence light.
A letter received by Mr. J. S. Schenck
today from Mr. Gray of Astoria, says
that owing to the inclement weather,
the Astoria Chamber of Commerce will
not visit The Dalles. . It is to be re
gretted that this has been decided upon,
aa we should all be glad to welcome a
delegation from Astoria, and especially
tbe first one through the canal and
locks.
The recent storm extended over a
wide extent bf territory, and the rainfall
has not been equaled for many years,
At points in the valley the precipitation
has amounted to an inch a day for fif
teen days. At all other points the rain
fall has been heavy. The Willamette is
on a rampage, and the rivers of Wash
ington are all running over their banks
doing considerable damage to railroad
property.
Tbe great emotional drama "East
Lynne," will be produced at Antelope
Nov. 26, under the auspices of tbe Brass
band and Dramatic Association of that
city. -The performance will be followed
by a grand ball and supper, and the
tickets for the whole combination are
only $1.50. If tbe play is as well execut-
ed as the posters gotten out by the An
telope Herald it will be all right, for
they are as neat a specimen of job work
aa we Have seen for a long time.
We lift our cat to tbe Portland wea
ther man, who in the midst of yester-
day's downpour telegraphed the news
that it would be clear today and cooler.
We rather apologized yesterday in pub
liehing the notice, for it did not seem
possible then, that the Eastern sun
should this morning send his bright rays
gleaming back from the snow
clad hills. The snow fall here was
about three inches, but south of us, aC
cording to reports, it is considerably
more.
Portland had quite a fire last night, it
being the building occupied by the Ore
gon Cracker Co. on, the corner of Front
and Davis streets. The alarm was
turned in about 10 o'clock, but the
flames had gotten such a start that the
fire was beyond control by the time the
firemen arrived. The south end of the
building was destroyed, tbe total loss
being estimated at $30,000, two-thirds
of which will fall on the Oregon Cracker
Co., the balance on the estate of J. C,
Ainsworth.
A Weather Item.
A comparison between the rainfall for
the month of November, in the years
1875 and 1896 is made bv Mr. S. L.
Brooks, and by days is as follows, the

A Dellgrhtfal Evening- with tbe Ladles'
, McKinley Club.
Owing to a long and expensive cam
paign, followed so closely by the cele-
cration of the completion of the work at
Cascades, that gave us an open river,
and more than all the unpropitious
weather, the male members of the Re
publican party felt that a ratification of
the election of McKinley should be dis
pensed with. They were satisfied wi:h
the grand victory, and willing to accept
it with all its grand possibilities quietly
and thankfully.
Not so with the ladies, their enthusi-
asm would not down without some kind
of "a demonstration that would let the
surplus energy escape. The Ladies Mc
Kin ley club took tbe matter op, and de
cided to give a banquet. It was a suc
cess from tbe moment they thought of
it, the only obstacle being to get a hall
large enough to hold all those whom
they desired to invite. While this was
impossible, the immense dining room at
the Umatilla was tendered by Sinnott &
Fish, and quickly and thankfully ac
cepted. While regretting its inability
to invite everybody, the club went dili
gently to work to provide for the 300
whom it was possible to seat.
The Dalles band, which always does
the right thing at the right time, volun
teered its services, a hasty' program was
made, a dozen toasts framed, and as
many persons selected to respond to
them. All this was done Thursday. Fri
day invitations were issued and Satur
day night at 8 :45 nearly 300 ladies and
gentlemen assembled at Fraternity ball,
the proud guests of the Ladies McKinley
club. At 9:15 all proceeded to tbe ban
quet hall, where the long tables loaded
with good things and ornamented with
great masses of chrysanthemums, were
soon surrounded, and tbe first business
of tbe evening, the sampling of the eat
ables, was attended to.
After a half hour devoted to this ob
ject, Mr. F. W. Wilson, as toast-master,
in briet but eloquent language spoke
of tbe time-honored custom of celebrat
ing victories, whether those of Peace or
War, of the magnitude and effect of tbe
recent political battle and tbe certain
fruits of that great Republican victory,
and concluded by calling upon the presi
dent of the Ladies McKinley club.
Mrs. M. E. Brigga responded by an
address of welcome that made all feel
glad to realize that they were present.
Then followed the toast, "Looking
Forward," responded to by our honored
county judge, Robert ays. In many
respects, Mr. Mays' response waa the
most interesting of the evening, for as
he said, "It is well before looking for
ward, to take a glance backward, that
we may judge of what is to be by
what has been." He then spoke of tbe
growth of Wasco county and The Dalles
since he came here 44 years ago, of the
wonderful changes that comparatively
brief time bad wrought, and then al
luded to what tbe coming years had in
store for us.
The response to ;Our President Elect1
was made by Hon. A. A. Jayne. The
thread which ran through all bis speech
wes the true Americanism of both the
president elect, and the circumstances
of his lite and election. It was the his
tory of many another great American
who lifted himself by the sheer force of
character from tbe lowliest walks in life,
to the highest position attainable by hu
manity; starting on the farm, and
crowning bis life work aa tbe free choice
of 70,000,000 people aa their chief repre.
aentative.
The Flag"' was responded to by
Lieut. -Col. J. M. Patterson, who in the
course of his remarks, gave a history of
the making and adoption of the flag,
that waa very intereating.
At thia point the program waa broken
into. The toast-master .stated that
State Senator. Fuller of Massachusetts
waa present, and about to leave on the
train for home, and called upon him for
a contribution to the good cause. Mr,
Fuller responded in a 5-minute speech
that was heartily applauded.
"Viewed From a Tree Top," waa re
plied to by Mrs. J. T. Peters, who ex
plained juat bow an election with its
banda and its speakers, its uniformed
clubs and torch light processions, march
ing through mud and rain, and all the
other seemingly crazy antics begotten of
elections and indulged in by generally
staid and soberciticens, appeared to one
wno oeing Dorn on the wrong side ot tbe
house, was not allowed to vote.
Mr. G. W. Phelps told his feelings in
connection with casting "My- First
Vote,". in a 5-minute speech, that was
brimming with Americanism, and that
was a surprise to even those who knew
his talents best.
M. T. Nolan created whole Iota of
amusement in his telling about bis
first political Speech, and it is quite cer
tain that if the speech waa aa thor
oughly appreciated aa hia description of
it, it was a good one.
"Woman's Share in the Future" fur
nished Mrs. W. 8. Myera a text that
produced a thoughtful discourse that
waa thoroughly appreciated.
.Hon.- W. H. Wilson made a fitting re
sponse to -tbe selection from Bryant a
famous poem, "Where Rolls the Ore
gon," a response that bad but one fault,
and that, its brevity..
Mayor Menefee told ub all about "Our
City," and as be knows more about It
than anyone, he left nothing to be said.
Roger B. Sinnott bandied the subject
saying that from the time of hia eariliest
recollection he had threa inordinate
longings First to own a pair of red
topped boata, and when he got them he
immediately wanted to lick the firat boy
he met, and got whipped instead. Hia
next anguishing desire was to smoke his
firaj cigarette. This be accomplished
onlyv to get in return a second licking.
The third waa to cast his first vote, "and
thia time," said be, "proved tbe old
adage that the third time meant success,
and I did not get whipped."
'How It Seems to Be Licked" was
responded to by one who experienced
the sensation in June in a personal de
feat, and again in November by the de
feat" of the fused and re-fused party.
That individual is now penciling these
lines, but , his "innate modesty and
blushing diffidence, which are said to be
two of tbe most charming . traits of bis
lovable character," forbid bis saying
anything about bia remarks on that oc
casion. Indeed, a treacherous memory
has already made it impossib'e, wbicb
should give you, gentle reader, a cause
for thanksgiving, and if those who heard
and still survive will also kindly forget,
it will be a source of thankfulness to
him.
Mr. Hugh Gourlay gave a brief his
tory of Mark Hanna, telling who and
what be is, and giving him credit for all
h'e has done, besides pointing out a great
many things with which the other side
credited him.
Mr. B. S. Huntington waa to have re
sponded to the toast "Oregon, "but owing
to the saddest of all causes, the deattfof
a loved one, he conld not appear. In
stead, however, Mr. D. H. Roberta read
the response which Mr. Huntington had
prepared, and which showed in every
sentence tbe love of the writer for our
great and beautiful Oregon.
We cannot close thia article without
saying just a few words concerning the
bright young gentleman who so ably
filled tbe very difficult position of toast
master, Mr. F. W. Wilson. In every po
sition in which lie is placed he surprises
bis friends by. just exactly fitting it.
He is cool, collected, tactful, and baa tbe
happy faculty of saying just tbe right
thing and no more. The ratification
would have been a success, no doubt,
without him, since the ladies were be
hind it, but we detract nothing from all
that they did, in saying that he added
largely to tbe pleasures of the evening
by keeping the wheels moving steadily
and without friction. As tbe boys all
say, "Fritz" is all right. .
During the evening the band rendered
several fine selections and were heartily
applauded.
Aa the different toasts were responded
to there was vyigorous and hearty ap
plause, but neither the essence of tbe
speeches nor the vibration of tbe re
sponeive chords can be put in print.
Suffice it that at midnight, or shortly
after, the pleasant affair ended, and the
guests wended their way homewards
delighted with their evening's entertainment.
The presence of many grey-haired
veterans and the music of the band sug
gested, and we trust will excuse, the
putting in print of the lines herewith
annexed, which might be entitled

McNiei's story be and Brooks were going
on the bill to see a man named Johnson.
Hawthonteand Heater were lying in
wait tor some one, and mistook Brooks
and Mi-N'ie! for the partiea, so that there
waa no cause at all for the row. These
outbreaks have grown decidedly monoto

The jury in the case of lbs State
against Ed Marshal, charged with lar- -
ceny from a dwelling, returned a verdict
last night finding him guilty of simple '
larceny. Thia is simply a misdemeanor,
punishable by imprisonment i the
county jail.
Tbe case of the State against L.T.
North is another case tbe punishment ,
for which is limited to imprisonment in
the county jail. Sentence will be pro
nounced Monday. '
In the case of L. Leonard, charged
with forgery, hia offense being the. sign
ing of tbe name of George Thompson to
an order on Mrs. Davia for two weeks'
board, one of which he got. Defendant -entered
a plea of guilty, waived time for
sentence, and waa eent to the peniten-.
tiary for two yeara. It will be seen that
he bnilded better than be knew, for in
stead of getting two weeks board, be
gets two years, and steady employment
besides.
Almost Barled Alive.
Last week a Miss Dickeson of Monnt
Angel, Marion county, bad a narrow es
cape from being buried alive. She waa
supposed tobave died, and preparations
were made for the funeral. After tbe
services were held at the home, tbe un
dertaker in placing the lid on the casket
discovered signs of life and tbe woman
was speedily removed from tbe casket.
She was awakened aa if from a trance,
and the house of mourning was turned
into a house of joy. Miss Dickeson iB
now reported to be almost well.
The moral of all this is, be not to hasty
in disposing of the bodies of your loyed
ones. Be sure unmistakable signs of de
composition have taken place before con
signing them to the grave, lot nothing .
imaginable can be more terrible than
an awakening from a trance or catalep
tic fit' and find above six feet or more
of earth and not a possible chance of es
cape. Weather and Other Things.
It seems that we are o have climatic
changes, aa Well aa commercial ones, on
account of . the opening of the locks. '
Since that date the dull leaden clouds of
webfoot have sent their runners up the
old Columbia, and they have evidently
found a fine opening for extending tbtir
business. Since Nov. 6th a regular
webfoot rain has prevailed, soaking the
ground aa it haa not been soaked in the
lame length of time iu years. Today '
the air is balmy, soft and indolent, aa
though it came but yesterday from Japan
or Cathay. Tbe green grass and abun-'
dant flowers, the gentle rain, and breath
of May would almost convince one that
buds and birds, bees and Easter bonnets
were due, instead of the lordly gobbler
and the golden pie. Great is Oregon !
and the crowning glory of her greatness

Lee Joy Pays a Fine.
Lee Joy, indicted by the grand jury
for assault with a deadly weapon upon
one Tom Loui, a countryman of bis, this
morning pleaded guilty to a simple as
sault, waived time for sentence, was
fined $50, and is now free as a bird.' The
chances are that Tom Loui waa aa much
in fault aa Lee Joy, but as there is no
getting at the truth in a Chinese case.
anyway, Prosecuting Attorney Jayne
wisely made an average of the case and
accepted tbe plea of guilty to siuiple as
sault. A Chinese oath, like a China
man, is a delicate and fragile thing, and
adds about as much to the solemnity
and truthfulness of their statements as '
it would to that of a murderer testifying
in hia own behalf.
Death of Mrs. C. A. Huntington.
A' Brutal Attack.
Saturday uigbt Hawthorne and Frank
Heater attacked a man named Brooke,
employed by Ward, Kerna & Robertson,
and another, named Owen McNeil, near
the school house on Union street. What
the cause of the row was seems to be un
certain, one ascribing it .to onetbing
and one to another. That generally ac
cepted is an overdose of whisky and the
brutal instinct of tbe attacking party.
Brooks was beaten into insensability,
and at first it was thought he would die,
but all danger in that line is past. When
Nigbtwatchman Wiley, and-. Sheriff
Driver reached the scene cf the tow, be
ing' hastily summoned, they made vigor
ous search, but found nothing but an old
brown bat. Inquiring at Mrs'. Alexan
der's house, the officers fcuad they had
heard the noise of the conflict, and look
ing through the window they bad seen
two men, whom they thought to be
Hawthorne and Heater, dragging the
body of a man into tbe schoolhouae yard.
Tbe officers at once arrested Hawthorne
and Heater, and thia morning they were
taken before Justice" Filloon, and each
pleaded guilty. The justice postponed
