Four hundred sheep were shipped on
the Regulator this morning to Trout
dale, and 230 went on the cars to Ta-
eoma.
The many friends of Harry Liebe will
be pleased to learn that his condition is
somewhat improved. He has had a
hard and long struggle, but it is hoped
that the worst is over, and that he may
move along steadily on the up grade to
health.

' before Justice Filloon yesterday after
noon. Heater pleaded guilty to an as
sault upon McNeil and was fined $50.

tion of the grand jury for the beating of
Brooke.
The Columbia is still coming up slow
ly, but it takes more than two week
rain to make what might be called a rise
in the old giantess. It takes the melting
snows and concentrated rains of nearly
a million square miles of territory to
wake her up.
Re port 8 from all the country around
ns show that the ground has received
more thorough soaking than it has had
at this time of the year, for many years
past. As it is probable the price of
wheat will remain good for another year
at least, the outlook for our farmers is
just at present exceedingly bright.
The sturgeon catch seems to be get
ting better again, from the iispiay made
at the express office. The big rubber
nosed sharks are said to make fine bone
less codfish, but they are certainly not
an appetizing object to look at. Among
the lot received for shipment today is
one 300 pound fellow that undressed
would have weighed nearly 150 pounds
more.
The picture of . Ruth and Naomi,
painted by Mrs. John filloon, was
raffled for last night at the Snipes

was completed, Miss Myrtle Michell
entered the store, and was at once re
quested to draw the winning number,
Reaching in the box she drew out the
number 31, 'which ticket was held by
Mr. Orion Kinersly.
But one hobo ornamented the dock al
the recorder's office this morning, and
he was an old man that conld hardly be
. classed as a professional. He was fined
$5, but will be permitted to continue his
travels today. Yesterday live able
bodied tramps were sentenced, and as
they all refused to work they are getting
in condition for starting a famine on
there liberation by taking in a diet of
bread and water. It is really a pity
they refuse, to work, as the street cross
ing in front of the city jail is in about
the worst condition of any in the -city.

The markets of The Dalles are well
supplied with everything in the line of
game and vegetables. The latter are al'
ways abundant, and the former gener
ally so. In looking through the markets
today we noticed veDison, wild geese and
ducks, rabbits, grouse and pheasants ;
and along with them salmon, trout and
sturgeon. Chickens and turkeys, dressed
and undressed, are abundant and cheap ;
but the recent cold snap and approach
ing Thanksgiving have furnished the
bens a cause for striking and "pggs has
riz," bringing thirty cents per dozen.
The question has been asked ns sev
era! times, " VVhy not prospect for coal
right here in the city, instead of on
Chenowetb creek?" The reason Cheno-
weth creek is preferred is that there the
coal measures He perfectly flat, showing
the country has not been disturbed.
Here the rocks show evidence of an up
heaval, the measures are broken, and
injected with basaltic dykes. Whatever
is found on Chenoweth creek -would be
permanent, and no reliance could be
placed on results found here, where the
coal veins have been broken as and
turned in all directions.
A Masicml Treat.
We are pleased to announce to the
theater-going people of The Dalles, the
appearance of the Spanish Students'
C-incert Company at the Vogt on Friday
night, Nov. 27th. - First of all, let it be
understood that this company is not the
Spanish Students that played here some
time since, but it is the original combi
nation, headed by that acknowledged
musical artist, H. A. Weber of Portland.
Mr. Weber is a graduate of one of the
finest musical colleges, in the United
States, and with him are associated the
very best talent obtainable, notably
among them being -Miss Addie Favart,
the skirt-dancer that has a string of fine
preBS notices, that would take a man a
day to read thoroughly. The program
will consist of classical selections, both
vocal and instrumental, and those old
favorites, "William Tell,," "Tanahaus-
er" and Uavalera Kasticana ' will be
rendered by the Students in a manner
that only they can do.
This company cannot come here and
depend on the feelings of the public
relative to patronizing them, but they
must have a guarantee of a certain
amount. A paper has been prepare
for this purpose and is receiving many
signatures. It has been left at tb
Snipes-Kinersly drug store, where all
who wish to receive a choice seat mav
add their name to the roll.
Manager Weber being a prommen
Elk, seats will be reserved for members

Cederson the community has lost an
upright neighbor, the state a good and
loyal citizen, and our tribe an earnest.
zealous member.

A Klamath Fatality.
The second son of E. R. C. Williams
of Langell valley, was fatal! v burned
Friday evening Nov. 6th at his home,
He died Saturday morning about 1
o'clock. Mr. Williams was at Klamath
Falls when the casulty occurred, being
summoned as a juror. Friday evening
Mrs. Williams left their three children
at the house while she went some dis
tance from the house for a bucket of
of water. When part way back she
heard the children scream, when she
dropped the bucket and ran toward the
house, only to meet her 3-year-old son
running out of the doorway with his
clothes a mass of flames. He had
backed up close to the fireplace during
her absence and his skirt had caught
fire. After the flames were quenched
Mrs. Williams got on a horse and rode
over two miles to Frank Swingle's ranch
where a man was sent after Dr. Wright
and Mr. Williams. Nothing could be
djne for the sufferer and he died the
next morning about 7 o'clock.'.

A MYSTERIOUS CASE.
A 8cog Fortnne Awaiting Louis Daven
port of M osier.
Our reporter has had a serious time of
it today, for items have failed to materi
alizo and ali sources of information that
usually yield some returns were dry and
fruitless. Just about disheartened, the
weary scribe came across the smiling
and genial Col. Sinnott, and hence this
tale.
We spoke of the robbery of Louis Dav
enporta week ago, the robbery having
taken place in 1863, or thereabouts, and
the fact that a man was here inquiring
into the matter. The man went dawn
to visit Mr. Davenport last week, and
today, as a result of that visit, Mr.
Davsjnport is in the city. The stranger
has been very reticent, his actions being
also decidedly "queer." Iu the course
of a two or three days visit, by putting
disconnected statements together, Mr.
Davenport has gathered that the man
who picked up his .grip containing the
$8,000 in gold dust is, or was, known to
this stranger. That sooaetime since,
realizing that he was approaching the
eiave, the man who took the money
made a will, and in this will he provid
ed for the re-payment of the $8,000, with
interest at legal rates from the day it
was taken nntil it shall have been paid.
The ill-gotten money, it seems, pros
pered iu his hands, and he was able to
do this. Not long since he died, and the
stranger now here has knowledge of all
thejacts. The heirs and the adminis
trator of the estate are making no effort
to find the legatee, and unless the
strange gentleman discloses his knowl
edge it may be impossible for Daven
port to get his money. In the mean
while another claimant comes forward
mysterious "French Charley," who.
it is claimed, and not Davenport, lost
the money. The latter claims, so the
Col. says, are endorsed by Mr. Euiil
Schanno.
There promises to be a pretty muddle
grow out of the situation, and it is proh
ably the legal fraternity will get
whack at the coin before the matter is
settled. As the sum now amounts to
over S27,l)UU it will be seen that the
fight might may become interesting.
Col Sinnott is, however, confident that
be is right, that Davenport, and not
"French Charley, lost the money, and
as the Colonel is generally right, and
has a memory whereof none may run
to the contrary, we, put our money on
his side of the case.
Bow Will Responsibility Affect Women?
Eliza Sproat Turner of Philadelphia.
Air. Jecky, in bis valuable work on
Democracy and .Liberty, nuus one
source of danger in the increasing in
fluence of women in politics. He thinks
their tendency in trying to reform the
world would be to over-legislation. They
have thrown themselves, for instance,
into the question of ten) perancft in such
a way as to "considerably alter its pro;
pects. And the same is true of vivi
section, which they are disposed not
only to guard, but toabolisb, thus doom
ing thousands ot hnman beings to an
untold amount of preventible euffering.
"There have been," be says, "ages in
which insensibility to suffering was the
prevailing vice of public opinion. In
our own, perhaps, more is. to be feared
from wild gusts of unreasoning, uncal
culating, hysterical emotion."
I think that common fairness compels
us to acknowledge the at least partial
truth of these opinions. Because women
are by nature more compassionate, be
cause, in their more domestic lives, they
see eo distinctly the immediate results
of intemperance, of immorality, of cru
eltj, they are more likely to be tempted
(until tbey learn its futility) to over-
legislation and over-coercion, to sweep
ing the whole world clean of sin and
error by one'grand whisk of the broom
of the law. When it comes to the' "wild
gusts of emotion," however, I doubt if
we could much exaggerate the methods
of our brothers; their little ways at a
nominating convention, for instance,
where the corrects thing is for the dele
gates to climb on chairs and tables, to
screech, to howl, to roar, to break into
eobs, to embrace each other, etc., by
way of expressing their political opin
ions; and not abont any question that
might be called ethical either. Our
doings could scarcely be more hysterical
than those in the bedlam of any city
Bourse, and we should find it hard to be
more nncalcolating than was our con
gress a short time ago on receiving the
message of the president concerning

Venezuela, when, without pausing, to
collider consequences, wit Mont stopping
to consider the unimportance of the
issue with the a ful results of aposoible
war, they set to work on their resolu
tions of approval, which were to give
the cue to a nation, with the glee of a
parcel of children starting a fire.
The fact is, we vould do better to
say that unreasontngness is the tend
ency of, the human race, and we can
afford to admit that the feminine half,
from the difference of the conditions in
which it has been reared, and from
that absence of responsibility which
always makes people more reckless in
the expression of opinions, have been
thus far even more dispoeed than men
to speak without consideration. Make
every woman responsible, let her real
ize that when she says a man ougnt to
be bung she is helping to hanggliim,
and that when she advocates war, she
is helping to send the men to the field,
and after the first wantonness of power,
especially of the supposed power to
legislate sin and suffering ont of the
world, her sense of accountability will
steady her. And then it will surely
not be amiss that she will .bring the
humanitarian view of a political ques
tion more frequently to the front.
A Prosperoas and Happy Society.
Fern Lodge,' of the Degree of Honor,
is the bannei lodge of the order in the
state, and it. well deserves to be. Its
members individually and collectively
know how to enjoy themselves, and Jo
it. One of the features of the lodge is (f
regular newspaper, The Fern Leaf, pnb-
lished every two weeks, its editor being
chansed with each issue. Some yery
bright things have first seen the light in
its newsy columns, and it is really sur
prising that .its standard of excellence
has been set and maintained so high.
Last night the paper was gotten out by
Miss L'zzie Schooling, and it was one of
the best numbers issued in a long tiui?.
The originators of the paper very wisely
determined that it should not be devoted
entirely to lodge matters, and hence it
has abounded in sketches, poetry, catchy
subjects, bright personal notes, and free
and intelligent comment on, andt criti
cism of lodge matters as well as all
all others, political and religious sub
jects alone being barred. As a result,
the paper has grown in favor until its
publication is anxiously awaited. Last
night a special program was given,
commencing with the chorus, "Picnic,"
by the Werlein Glee Club, which was
rendered beautifully. The reading of
the Fern Leaf followed and it was re-
ceived with hearty applause. The next
number was a piano solo, by Mr. Chas.
Phillips and Mr.' Charles Stephens, by
especial reqnejt. As these brothers
started for the piano, only prompt ac
tion on the part of the Chief of Honor,
prevented them being mobbed, by the
long suffering members. It was only on
their solemnly promising to not get
nearer than twenty feet of the piano
that peace was restored, so this double
solo did not come off. Mr. Briggs sang
a solo, which was very fine, and Mrs,. C.
L. Phillips gave a reading in German

To Tunnel tba Cascades.
A report was received In Portland yes
terday from St. Paul to the effect that
the Great N rthern had completed pre
lirftinery arrangements for the construc
tion of the Cascade tunnel, which will be
one of the great engineering feats in the
history ot railroad construction. It is
said that by the first of the year a large
force of men will probably be at work,
and that the tunnel should be completed
and ready for train service early in 1893.
The Pioneer Press, speaking of the gi
gantic nndertaking, said :
"The Cascade tunnel will be 2.49 miles'
long, and will reduce the highest eleva
tion attained by the railroad from 4055
feet at the summit of the switchback to
3380 feet at the east, portal at' Tunnel
City, and to 3150 at the west portal at
Wellington. -The highest elevation un
der which it will pass is 5350 feet, about
a mile from the west portal, a short dis- '
tance to the south and eaBt of which Is
Skylight lake. ' The tunnel will ran in a
straight line from the' bead of one can
yon to that Of another in It direction a
few degrees south of west, and will slope
to the. west at the rate of 90 feet to the
mile. It will be 16 feet wide and 23 feet
high, being lined with brick and stone
where necessary. Much of the natural
rock will furnish its own lining, or rather
reqnire none. The cost of the enterprise
is estimated at $2 000,000.
"The preeent famous switchback be
tween Cascade on the east and Welling
ton on the west, in Washington state,
235 miles west of Spokane, between Spo
kane and Seattle, has proved a most in
teresting point for tourists and travelers,
but the economy space and time is a
greater consideration to the Great North
ern, even when involving the expendi
ture of $2,000,000 in a tremendous and
hazardous project, than that of a uniqne,
scenic. attraction. The tunnel will re
duce the distance 10 miles and the time
one hoar.
