Mr. Charles Koehler and L. L. Cart
ney favored this office by letting the
light of their countenances shine on us
today.
Uncle Tom's Cabin drew a crowded
house, as it always does. The play is a
back number, and is about as much like
Mrs. Stowe's story aa limberger cheese
is like attar of roses.
Dr. Eshelman was 'called to 15-Mile

That artist in iron work, Harry Clough,
"with hammer and eledge, has ministered
to the wants of the boiler and our hap
piness all day, with a series of diabolical
noises invented in inferno. We sin-
cerely hope the goddy old power pro
ducer will not need repairing again, at
east before next year.
John Gleason, an ineane man, was
brought over from Goldendale Thursday,
in charge of the sheriff of Klickitat, who
is taking him to the asylum. Coming
' down the grade on this side of the
mountains one of the stage horses
kicked over the traces, and then tried to
ran away. The team ran nearly half a
mile before it was checked and all the
time Gleason, in spite of the sheriff try
ing to pall him down, stood ap in the
wagon swinging his hat and yelling at
the top of hiB voice. He eojoyed the
ride immensely.

been good.
A competent woman wants a place
doing housework or nursing. Call at
this office.
It is probable some action will be
taken as soon as congress meets again,
towards settling the status of the for
feited railroad lands.
Our main streets are not at all sightly,
but are much better than they look,
Second street is awfully sloppy, but
under the superficial elop it is as hard
and firm as bedrock.
County Judge Mays being absent on
account of sickness, there will of couree
be no county court this month, but the
commissioner's court will meet as usual
to look after county business. Commis
sioner Blowers, being the senior commis
sioner, will probably act as chairman of
the board.
The Republican presidential electors
meet at Salem one week from today, to
cast their ballots for president, and to
select one of their number to carry the
vote back to Washington. It is very
probable T. T. Geer will be selected for
this latter work, he having received the
greatest number of votes.
The young people's societies of the
different denominations met at the
Methodist church last night, there
being 145 present. Tbe meeting was of
a devotional character, there being no
prepared program, and the exercises
were led by Misses Louise Rucb, Martha
Whealdon and Mr. Chlpp.
Miss Seldom, of Friendship, N. J.,
was for many years a teacher. A pain
ful affliction of tbe eyea forced her to
give np her position. She turned her
attention to cultivating frogs, and now
from a swamp of twenty acres has a
handsome income from frog legs fur
nished city markets.
The examination of the man, Os
borne, charged with being accessory to
tbe robbery of Roth way near Fourth
street Thursday night, is being held be
fore Justice Filloon this afternoon. Up
to the time of going to press not enough
evidence had been submitted to base an
opinion as to his .guilt or innocence
upon.
The annual parish meeting of the
Congregational church will take place at
their vestry this evening at 8 o'clock

Tbe metal gallium is much more
precious than gold. It is quoted in the
market at $3000 an ounce, avoirdupois.
Traces of it occur in some zinc ores, tons
of which must be worked over in order
to obtain a trifling quantity. Gallium is
a very remarkable substance. At the
ordinary summer temperature of 86
deg. Fahrenheit, it becomes liquid like
mercury.
The case of tbe state against James
Maloney was tried before justice Filloon
Saturday, a verdict of guilty found, and
a fine of $10 imposed, and so the glad
some result of that loke of putting out
the lights at the Christmas ball continue
to spread like waves from a pebble
thrown into a pond. The joker most
be nearly suffocated with hilarity by this
time.
It is evident that another attempt will
be made by the Mitchell people to di
vide Crook county, and also take a slice
from Grant, for the pnrpose of creating
a new county with tbe county seat at
Mitchell. From their situation, Mitchell
people, if any in the country ,are entitled
to a new county, for nearly half tbe
year they are cut off from coromnnica
tion with the county seat at Prineville.
However, the matter is one for them
and the other citizens of Crook county
to settle among themselves.
Mr. Joseph Howard, who went East
about the middle of November with
train-load of cattle, arrived here this
morning and went on to Portland this
afternoon. It may be remembered that
he and those with him got their band of
cattle to 15-Mile just as the November
freeze-up struck us, and in consequenee
it was expected tbe cattle shipment
would entail a loss. Mr. Howard, how
ever, asserts that he is well satisfied
with the trip, and did not lose anything,
Friday night, just as Mr. and Mrs,
W. A. Kirby were about to retire for tbe
night, a load rapping was heard at the
door and upon opening it they were sur
prised to be greeted by a crowd of friends
and many wishes for a happy new yew,
Tbey were soon in possession of the
house and engaged in enjoying them
selves to the fullest with games, lunch,
etc. It was a complete surprise to Mr.
and Mrs. Kirby, but little Maude, i
had somehow discovered the secret, but
permitted herself to be put to bed, in
formed her mother later that she "knew
all about it."
Tuesday's. Dolly
A. M. Williams & Co. will close their
store evenings at 6:30 until further

There was an addition of twenty-one
in the attendance at the public schools
yesterday.
The regular monthly meeting of East
End Hose Co., No. 3, will be held at
their hose house tomorrow evening, at
7:30 o'clock.
There were three tourists without
money before the city recoader this
morning! They are working for the city
today in consequence.

stroke received last Saturday. He was
a man of sterling character, and has
done much towards building np the city
of .Portland
The examination of Dan Osborne,
charged with robbing Rothway Thurs
day night, was begun before Justice Fil
loon yesterday afternoon. This morn
ing the state finished taking its testi
ruony. Osborne was bound over to ap
pear before the grand jury with bonds
fixed at $250.
The motion for new trials in the cases
of the United States against Seufert and
Taffe in the condemnation proceedings,
were set for argument before Judge
Bellinger today. It is more than likely
new trials will be granted, as the judge
is dissatisfied with the verdicts, and so
are all the parties and their represents
lives.
Last mgnt toe following officers were
installed in Friendship lodge No. 9, K,
of P., for the ensuing term by Frank
Mencfee, deputy grand chancellor : L

The Woodmen Circle .Entertainment.
The Woodmen Circle entertained at
Fraternity hall last night. The building
was packed, and it is to be regretted
we have not a larger ball in tbe city in
which the different societies could have
entertainments. The whole programme
was excellent, and was as follows:
Piano Overture Mrs Patterson
Solo Charles Clarke
t a The Charcoal Mam
Recs. 6 Torris Little Star , ....Miss Griswold
( e Money Musk 5 -
Solo ..Male Gushing
Recitation "FitzJames and Bhoderick
Dhu" Walter Eeavis
Trio Mrs. Varney, G. Sampson, Mr. Crandall
Recitation Miss Griswold
Reading Mrs. Phillips
Miss Griswold's selections were given
in a naturally charming manner and
show her to be an artist in her line.
Each number was given in an easy
graceful manner, which captivated her
audience.
Walter Keavia also recited, and if be
cultivates his natural talent for dramatic
art, will eventually be on the top round
of the ladder in the dramatic field of art.
His every gesture, every tone shows this.
The evening ended with dancing till
midnight, and every one went home
with the feeling that a very pleasant
first evening of the year had been spent
The football Game.
The football game yesterday afternoon
between Tbe Dalles team and one pieked
from the high school, attracted a large
crowd at the fair ground. The game
was, everything considered, very well
played on both sides, but tbe high
school boys had not the practice and
were out-classed, tbe score resulting in
22 to 6 in favor of The Dalles. H.
Clyatt, of the high schools, made some
remarkably good plays, but was pretty
badly knocked out several times. We
have not space to give the game in de
tail or to mention the features of the
game. The teams contained only nine
players each, instead of eleven. Those
of The Dalles "were, Bartell, center; Ma
loney, left guard ; Elton, right gnard ;
Burgett, left end ; J. Clyatt right end ;
Grant Mays, quarter back; Fisher,
right half; Kelley, left half; Jenkins,
full back; and of the High Schools,
Snipes, center; Bagley, left guard; Tay
lor, right guard; Riddell, left end;
Clark, right end ; Barrett, quarter back ;
Reavia, right half ; Saunders, lett half:
H. Clyatt, fall back.
Bobbed of Fifty Dollars. .
Charles Rotbway was held np and
robbed Thursday night about 9 :30, on
Liberty street between 4th and 5th, by
two masked men. He waa in company
with a man named Osborne, and they
were on their way to a house on the hill.
Rothway going at Osborne's invitation.
When they were stopped, the robbers
went through Roihway'a ' pockets, bat
did not bother Osborne, simply telling
him that if he ever said a word they
would kill inm. The highwaymen got
about $50 dollars from Rotbway. Os
borne was arrested yesterday and is con
fined in the city jail, he being suspected
of complicity in the crime, but no evi
dence has been fonnd warranting the ar
rest, or lur that matter, suepicion of any
body else.
Lecture Coarse.
Thursday night a bold hold-up and
robbery, accompanied by the shooting
of the man robbed, occurred here, the
victim being Mr.tO.'C Wilson. Mr.
Wilson is a pleasant-appearing, inteili
gent young man, who takes the loss of
his money and the injury to himself
philosophically. To our reporter th
morning he told the story of tte robbery
as follows: .
"I came up from Portland on the boat
Thursday evening, and a little while be
fore 10 o'clock I walked up to the depot
to see a boat purchasing a ticket to Bran
don, Minnesota. I remained at the de
pot until perhaps twenty minutes after
the east-bound train pulled oat, and
then started down tbe railroad track for
tbe hotel. About a car's length this
side (east) of the switch bv tbe electric
light plant, a man stepped from behind
a car and presented a pistol within six
inches of my face, accompanying the
action with the words, "Hold no vonr
hands, and don't say a word or I'll blow
the whole d d head off von!' I had
my hands in my pockets and in the
pocket was a bunch of keys fastened to
an aluminum chain, and in pulling my
hand out I suppose the rattle of the
keys or the gleam of the chain made the
robber think I had pulled a pistol, and
he fired instantly. The ballet passed
throngh the skirt of my coat, a sack, and
the pistol was so close that the flesh set
it on fire. He again raised the pistol
and as he did so I struck it down with
my hand, and this shot was the one
that wounded me. I suppose the shock
rendered me unconscious, for I have no
recollection of tbe man robbing me,
crawled over to the electric light power
house, my legs seeming to be paralyzed
and the engineer telephoned for the
night-watchman and Dr. .Logan, who
removed the ballet."
In the coarse of the subsequent con
versation our reporter learned that Wil
son haa a cousin near Hartland, Klicki
tat county, named Robert Stratbers,
with whom he stopped for some time,
He came from Albia, Iowa, last May
and smilingly remarked that bis shoul
der bad been dislocated and an arm
broken since that time, which, with the
presenc incident, be remarked, served to
relieve the monotony of life in the West.
He says instead of going East be will go
back to Hartland as soon as able and
get a new start ; that he likes the cli
mate ever there better than that of the
East, anyhow, and thinks it more
healthful even than that of The Dalles
The ballet struck Wilson on'the inside
of the right thigh, passing behind the
bone and lodging under the skin on the
other side. The wound is not a danger
ous one, and a few weeks will see Mr,
Wilson in good shape again. The rob
ber got $31; but a purse containing
few dollars in change in bis hip pocket
was overlooked.
Here's Wejler.
A vivid pen picture of tbe man who is
charged with the terrible responsibility
of suppressing the insurrection was
thus written by Mr. Rappleye.an Amer
ican correspondent: -
"My journey through the forest of
eold lace terminated before the closed
door of General Weyler's official abode.
There an adjutant, more bedizened than
the rest of the dazzling multitude, trod
softly to the portico, gently opened the
way, retired again without saying a
word, and we were alone in tbe presence
of the man.
And what a picture 1 A little man.
An apparition of black black eyes,
black hair, black beard dark, exceed
ingly dark complexion; plain, black
attire. His eyes, far apart, bright,
alert, and striking, took me in at a
glance. His face seemed to run to chin,
his lower jaw protruded far beyond an
ordinary indication of firmness, persist
ence or will power. His forehead is
neither high nor receding, neither is it
of a thoughtful or philosophical man.
His ears are set far back, and what is
called the region of intellect, in which
are those mental attributes that are de
fined as powers of observation, calcula
tion, judgment and execution, is strong-
developed. Weyler is lean, diminu
tive, shriveled ambitious for immortal
ity, irrespective of its order, a master of
iplomacy, tbe slave of Spain for the
glory of sitting at tbe right of her throne,
unlovable, unloving, exaulted." . x
How Did It Get There.
The ladies of tbe Congregational
church have arranged for a course of lec
tures daring the winter. The opening
lecture will be , by Col. James Jackson,
U. S. A., and the topic will be "James
Russell Lowell." The second lecture
Will be "The True versus the False Doc
trine of Monroe." The . dates and snbr
ects of the balance of the series will be
given later. " ,

M. 8. Taylor, of Thornton, Whitman
county, is spending the holidays with
bis sister, Mrs. J. Buroker at '.Valla
Walla, says the Statesman. Mr. Taylor
tells of a peculiar thin;,' that came to
ght in bis vicinity a short time ago. A
neighbor was having a well dag, and at
the depth of ninety-eight feet a black
walnut log about twenty inches in di
ameter waa struck. The log was as
sound as the day it was placed there,
there not being a sign of decay. A piece
of the wood about six feet Ion? was re
moved to the surface and found to be of
the very finest quality and cnred to per
fection. When the wood was removed
from its position in the well, a plentiful
supply of water babbled np. Tbe owner
of this rare walnut stick prizes it highly.

The members of the circle came carrying
numerous packages which they kept con
cealed. Mrs. French was indeed sur
prised, when after tbe lesson, about

were read by Mrs. Donald, Irene Adams
and Alma Taylor. The remainderof the
evening was spent in social conversation
and games, the special one being a
guessing game, in which Mr. Ketchum
received the first prize and Mr. Laughlin
distinguished himself by carrying off tbe
booby prize. The hidden packages were -'
produced, proving to be things suitable
for a dainty lunch. Those present were :
