Mr. Stadleman was bald np the

night by a couple of footpadR, but they
got nothing for their trouble.
It is reported that J. A. Powers, who

opportunity in a.long time. The game
promises to be a strong one. Admission

Monday when the Si Perkins band
wap playing, a runaway occurred in the
Edit End, but nobody paid any atten
"'ii tn it, just let it run. Music hath
, '. sum more potent than a runaway
tt.im for Dalles people ; which shows
that our cult (whatever that is) is all
the same Boston man's. That's one of
the things we are noted for, that and
and onr tout ensemble, especially the
tout.
The Si PerkinB show last night was a
genuine bilk. The curtain was down
most of the time, while traps were being
packed for shipment, and the play was
. cut right and left to get through and go
" off on the train. The first night's show
was good enough, bat last night was the
worst kind of a fake. For one thing it
rved to demonstrate the necessity of
" g. .ting the curtain up promptly and
"rly.

A Quiet Wedding; at the Umatilla Hons
Last Night.
There was a quiet wedding at the
Umatilla bouse parlors last night, the
contracting parties being, Mr. Joseph
Binkle, of Prineville, and MiBS - Maban,
of Portland. Mr. H inkle arrived from
Prineville yesterday afternoon, the lady
coming from Portland. ' 'At 7 o'clock in
the presence of a few friends, the couple
stood up facing bis honor, Judge Brad'
shaw, who in a few sentences made them
man and wife. After the congratula
tions were over, Col. Sinnott suddenly
made his appearance. "My friends'
said he, "It has been the custom for
many years tHat the eonior member of
this firm start all couples married in this
bouse on there wedding journey with a
proper and becoming salute to the bride.
For years Major Handley took upon
himself this pleasurable duty, and before
his death cautioned me to to not let the
custom fall into disuse. Therefore I am
here tonight," and so saying the Col.
gently placed his arm around the bride's
waist and gave the salute in a manner
that indicated a thorough understanding
of the Mary Anderson style of osculation.
Mr. and Mrs. Hinklo leave for their
home at Prineville, accompanied by the
best wishes of many friends and warmed
and cheered by the paternal benediction
of this family paper.
SETTLERS, ATTENTION!

The register and receiver of the land
office received a telegram from commis
sioner of the general land office today,
notifying them not to receive filings on
forfeited lands until further notice. Un
der this ruling no filings of any kind will
be received for any of the odd numbered
sections within the limit of the forfeited
grant. '
Mrs. Harris Entertains.
Although every lady who reciived an
invitation to Mrs. N. Harris' "At Home
had made up her mind that from past
experience in regard to that ladv's abil
ity to entertain, a most delightful after
noon would be spent, none were in the
least dieappointed, for from the time
they entered the beautifully-decorated
parlors until they bade the hostess good
bye they were royally entertained. By
way of an introduction to the afternoon's
pleasure a number of portraits of promi
nent personages were banded around
and a contest enaued as to which lady
could guess the names'of most of those
represented, at which Mrs. E. E. Lytle
proved herself an adept, and Mrs. Alex.
Grey carried away the booby prize.
On the back of each score card was a
list of numbers corresponding to those
with which different dishes were labeled,
and the ladies were asked to choose
from the numbers what thev would have
for lunch. It afforded much amusement
when some one would be handed a plate
of pickles or olives, a cup of coffee, etc.
However, Mrs. Harris kindly eaw that
all were well supplied with the number
less dainties provided.
The ladies present were : Mesdames
S. L. Broook, E. Collins, W. S. Myers,
E. E. Lytle, D. M. French, B. F. Laugh
lin, A. R. Thompson, Alex. Grey, C. J.
Crandall, Chas. Schmidt, Wm. Tack-
man, F. Vogt, E. Suhanno, H. C. Niel

THE CHRISTIAN'S CHIEF DESIRE.
Sermon by Btr. O. D. . Taylor at the
. Michigan Avenue Baptist Church.
We desire to bring to the notice of the
public the fact that the piano nsed at
Yaw's concert was a "Jewett," handled
by the Jacobsen Book & Music Co., of
The Dalles, and also desire to call the
attention of the public to the fact of
Yaw's advertising on' ber program the
"Ludwig" piano, another instrument
handled by the Jacobsen Book & Music
Co., of The Dalles, Oregon. In fact
this is the only place in Eastern Oregon
where yon can find first-class instru
ments at moderate prices. We make a
specialty of handling nothing but first
class instruments and invite your cor
respondence, and if you are contemplat
ing the purchase of an instrument, drop
us a line and our representative will
call on you. djtw

r Rev. Oreon D. Taylor, of The Dalles,
Or., whose name for more than a year
has been associated in the public mind
here with a criminal case in the courts.
in which Mr. Taylor was charged with
obtaining signatures under false pre
tences, occupied the pulpit of the Mich
igan, avenue Baptist church 'Sunday
morning. ""For three month? or more he
has lived here with his wife, and 'people
have become somewhat acquainted with
the man, and have learned something in
a general way of the business transac
tion which resulted in the preferring of
a criminal charge against Mr. Taylor by
those who onlv a few months ago had
utmost confidence in him. The fact
that last week two of the .rases against
him went out of the court, temporarily
at least, on the ruling of Judge Snow,
led the pastor of the Michigan avenue
church to extend to Mr. Taylor the
courtesy of an invitation to occupy the
pulpit. ... .
It was a good-sized congregation that
assembled to listen to the gentleman.
After a- sermonette to the children by
Mr. Maxson, based on the story of St.
Christopher, he introduced Mr. Taylor
as one who had been with them for
some weekB, ond who might not be with
them much longer, .one whom they
would be glad to listen to. Mr. Taylor
showed considerable feeling on coming
before - the congregation. He said his
heart was fall, and he did not know
whether he would be able to preach or
not. He referred to the uniform cour
tesy and kindness that bad been shown
him during his stay in Saginaw, though
that stay was under peculiar circum
stances. The people, the attorneys, es
pecially his attorney, the court, had all
treated him with kindness.
"This morning," said he, "I have re
ceived the greatest expression of kind'
neas and confidence, in that your pastor
who, one day must give an account of
stewardship, has invited me to preach
to you." He then took bis text from
third -epistle of John, 3d chapter and
part of the second verse: "Bat that we
now that when he shall appear we
shall be like him, for we shall see Him
He is.'.' He said : "The purest
mortal shrinks from ' meeting God.
Moses of old feared exceedingly when
he talked with God, and when be came
down from the mountain the people be'
sought him to veil bis face, for they
could not even look on it because it
shone with the glory of God. 'We can
not look at the sun in its full glory,
but when its rays caught by a drop of
water, are refracted, we behold with de
light the beauties of the rainbow. In
Christ we see the glory of God the
Father reflected so that we may look
upon it. To see Christ was the greatest
desire of the Christian. - Who has not
wished that be might have lived when
Christ was on earth? What child
would not have been one of the little
ones that be took in bis arms and
blessed? What a privilege it would
have been to have been a lawyer when
he was tried. . What beroes there were
in , those days , and the speaker ex
pressed his admiration for St. Peter, the
rock on which Christ built his church.
He eaw in him a grand man. He ap
preciated to .some extent his feelings
when be denied Christ. . It was an
awful thing to feel the stamp of a lie on
one's face. A lie was never necessary,
but Peter thonght it was. He was will
ing, for his love of his master, even to
commit perjury, though he had learned
at his mother's knee that he who swore
falsely lost all hope of this world and the
next. Then the ' speaker expressed bis
admiration for Paul and the sacrifices
and bardships be passed through. His
shipwrecks, his being stoned, his fight
ing with with wild beasts at Ephesis,
and his battling with the powers of the
air. He closed with a touching des
cription of how Christ was the hope of
the fallen, the sinner, and the out
cast.

was created. Miss Jennie Young came
oat ahead in the guessing contest and

herself equal to drawing as fine a bicycle
as every adorned a blackboard, failed
when it came to judging of her compan
ions' abilities. After Mrs. Micbell bad

busy guessing. ' Then all joined heartily

A Change of Mode.
Hood Rivkb, Or., Dec. 30, 1896.
Editor Chbonicle: . . "
Through the medium of your paper
the undersigned desires to respectfully
request the members of the Oregon
legislature to eo change the law.regard-
ing the manner and time of auditing the
bills of the road supervisors. Under
the present law, as .1 understand, if a
man is appointed to that office and re
fuses to serve, he is liable to a heavy
fine and if he serves he must wait until
the end of the year before he can have
his bills audited and get his pay, and is
liable tc have his bills cut down if in
the judgment of the county court he has
done too much work. The natural re
sult, is that, under the present law,
many roads are more or less neglected,
the supervisors, many of whom are poor
men, not daring to take the chances and
wait so long for their pay. Now what I
would ask is that the law be changed so
that the road supervisors' bills shall be
audited and paid at the regular sessions
of the county courts at the same time
when other county officials are settled
with, and by such frequent settlements
we will have better roads. The courts
will know, at all times past how the
work is progressing, and if too much is
being done, can check it, or if too little,
increase it. All the public is interested
in good roads, and I hope oar legislators
will take speedy action in this matter.
Respectfully,
W. R. Wimans.

With the close of the Presidential Campaign THE TRIBUNE recognizes the
fact that the American people are now anxious to give their attention to home and
business interests. To meet this condition, politics will have far less Epace and
prominence, until another State or National occasion demands a renewal of the
light for the principles for which THE TRIBUNE has labored from its inception
to the present day, and won its greatest victories.
Every possible effort will be pnt forth, and money freely spent, to make THE

The Dalles, to hear the celebrated vocal

Leap year ends tomorrow night, and
comes no more until 1904. Therefore,
we have been considering the advisabil
ity of publishing the list of yonng ladies
left over. We think the bargain counter
feature of our idea a fine one, and we
believe The Dalles could offer some re
markably choice selections in this line
Our acquaintance is entirely too limited
to undertake the affair unless' we can
get assistance; but if the ladies will
kindly Bend in their names, with such
information as to them may seem best,
we will gladly publish them. Just be
fore the seaside season we will have a
special clearance advertisement of rem
nants that will clear' out the stock. We
do not propose to be behind our contem
porn riep ; not if it takes the last button
off our cuttt.
Class Gathering.
- About twenty-six of the 'membere of
Mr. Wm. Micheil's Sunday school class,
which numbers thirty, were entertained
at his residence, on Fourth and Wash
ington streets last evening. The young
ladies had apparently looked forward to
this annual gathering, and so were ready
to enjoy every pleasure afforded. The
early part of the evening was spent in
sketching, each one being given a card
bearing the name of some article or ani
mal to sketch. As the artistic ability of
the different participants was shown,
I and the critics endeavored to name each
but everything was lost, drowned and
swallowed up in the desire to listen to
that magicvoice. Miss Yaw was kind,
indeed, responding to every encore, and
gave the old melodies, "Comin' Thro
the Rye" and "The Last Rose of Sum
mer," in a manner tnat few of us ever
expec to near equaled. Miss Yaw left jve orders for Dressed Tur-
