There are several cases of scarlet fever in town, and' complaint is made that proper quarantine ' ib not established. While it is trne this disease and diph theria have never been epidemic here, the utmost precaution should be taken .' that it may be stamped out at once. Dafnr will bold a' local teachers' insti tute on the 21st and 22d. Thursday ' evening there will be an entertainment. by pnpils of tha Dufur school, and Fri day evening Professor P. P.

A., being the lecturer, and the subject, "James Russell Lowell." The attendance was good, and . the committee feel greatly encouraged. The subject was handled in a masterly manner, and those who attended were highly pleased with their evening's en- tertainment. , There are minstrel shows, and min strel shows, bat the best minstrel show that visits the Northwest, is the one coming next Tuesday, the Georgia Uni versity Graduates. The show is clean, '- and is composed of first-class artists in the minstrel line. The Dalles bas the reputation of always patronizing bad shows and shunning good ones. This iurnishes an excellent opportunity to change the habit. Mr. Huntington is at bis desk in the legislature ready to do business when ever the balance of the members get ready. Yesterday when Somers and Smith got into, a wordy argument, then Huntington objected because they dis turbed bim at bis writing. , He is emi nently right. The people do not care to hear anything from the nnorganized house. What they want is to hear that - the house is organized and attending to the business for which it was elected. Miss .Eliot' of Portland, who gives singing lessons each week in The Dalles, may slay over a week soon in order to ' give a few of her pupils the advantage of daily practice. If there are any who are thinking of taking lessons in the near future, it would be wise for them - to begin a? this time, that 'they may ' have the same opportunity. Miss Eliot may be conferred with on Thursday afternoon or Friday niorninit of this week, either iu person or by telepnone at Mrs.' Leslie Sutler's. ; Thursdays Daily ..

Miss Pearle Williams came tip from Portland last night, and is visiting her sister, Mrs. H. W. French. ' C A warm southwest wind prevailed to day, and it only lacked the scent of flowers, the song of the birds and the boys at their marble games, to make it a genuine section of spring. Mr., Nichols exhibited a bird shot near bis place in this city. this morning. It is a rare one for this country, bat is the common night heron, and ia com mon in the Southern states. Osborne who has been in jail for some time, as a result of the joke of turning out the lights at the dance Christmas eve, was released on bail today, John ston Bros, of Dufur, going his bond.

Mr. Hood and family contemplate making their . future home in California, and hare purchased deligbtiul home near St. Helena. The Dalles has just raised $500 for the purchase of a diamond drill with which it is proposed to bore for coal in that vicinity. This is a deserving enterprise and shows The Dalles possesses the right spirit. This is the spirit that will develop Eastern Oregon and make it the home of thousands of prosperous peo' pie. East Oregonian. The East Oregonian has a fall descrip tion of the meeting of state Woodmen Circle at Pendleton, and from it we judge the Woodman have had one of the great est meetings ever held by a secret society in the state. ' Among those making re sponses to toasts, we noticed the name of Mrs. Inez Filloon of this city, but credited by the East Oregonian to Dal las. . - The sale of tickets for the charity ball has been a phenomenal success. The Elks never do anything by halves, and it was an assured fact that the ball would be a grand success from the moment that energetic order took hold of it. The work of decorating the hall is approach ing completion, one of the Ornaments be ing the magnificent elk recently mounted by Mr. Bert Campbell. The best of ma sic has. been secured, and just everybody and everybody else is going. Miss Griswold, although an amateur, per ormed with all the brilliancy and tact of a professional, and it took some time to convince some some of the audi ence that she was really but an amateur. Miss Griswold followed with a recital of Bryant's "Robert of ' Lincoln." It would be difficult to give any of our readers, who were not present at the performance, and idea of the really per fect rendition of this extremely difficult selection. Here was seen all the grace and perfection of a professional in the person of a young amateur. Miss Gria wold possesses a most pleasing voice and fully knows the secret of how to use it, Her rendering of the chorus "Bob o'Link," etc., was undoubtedly perfect and the nearest approach to the natural we have-ever bad the pleasure of hearing. National Republican. The date for the positive appearance of Georgia University Graduates and oper a tic stars has been finally agreed upon for Tuesday, Jan. 26, at the Vogt.'

The Georgia Univer sity Graduates present to us the first minstrel show of the season, and will no doubt reap a rich harvest here, as they are also first in public favor, in fact first and foremost in all things theatrical. Watkins, Gillam, Oliver, McKlnger, and Miss Nettie Goff, Allan Watkins Gillam, and thirty other high class artists - will be the ones you will see in a grand min strel festival. Friday's Dally. . The would-be employes at Salem are now singing that old refrain ' "How happy could I be with either, were tother dear charmer away." Yesterday the people of the state were in suspense, Wondering what the day would bring forth. Now they are in suspenders because it was twins. Every item oar reporters . gel these days is chaste decidedly so. Chased al! over town before it is cornered and then it does not amount to much in the shape of news, Pnpils will be received at the private primary school at any time, though the spring term will begin with the month of March.

A large audience enjoyed the services at the M. E. church last evening. Ret. J. H. Wood delivered a fervent and thoughtful address, followed with some wordB of earnest invitation. There will be a meeting tonight, and all who at tend are assured of a most cordial wel come. Willard Sloper, a pioneer, died at Gol dendale Wednesday.

Mrs. Wilson received a letter from her son, fred, yesterday, stating among other things that they arrived at Hono lulu safely, but both he and Ed.

Dam, on "The Making of the Bible," giving popular account of the principal manu scripts (with facsimiles) from which the Bible as we now have it is derived, and a description (with numerous illustra tions) of the famous Oxford University Press, where Bibles are produced by the million, with the finest art ever achieved in book-making, and in every known tongue. On Monday evening next the intel lectual and truly literary citizens of oar city will receive a rare treat in the en tertainment of Miss J. Montague Gris wold, which will be given at the Vogt opera house. Miss Griswold is an artiste in dramatic art, and our citizens should avail themselves of the oppor tnnity of bearing her recital. She gives a recital in a manner which ranges in variety from grave to gay, from comedy to tragedy, and we anticipate a tall house, which she deserves. Speaking of Miss'Gnswold's ability as an elocutionist, the Constitution of Mid dleboro, Conn., says: "On Monday evening there was a crowded bouse, 'and the utmost satisfaction was expressed, The readings by Miss J. Montague Gris wold of New York, were very fine. She is an elocutionist of rare promise. Her reading ot 'The Raven,' was very dra matic, and called forth repeated ap plause." Miss Griswold will appear at the Vogt Grand, Monday evening, Jan 25th, and will be ably assisted by the most popular home talent. Price of ad mission 50 cents. The musical given by . Mrs. E. C, Pease and Mrs. G. P. Morgan' last night at the home of the former, partook very much of the nature of a party, eo pleas antly did the evening pass. Programs, on which some of the fine pen work of Mr. Morgan was displayed, did credit to the excellent program which was rendered, every number of which de serves special mention if space and time permitted. Miss Griswold, who by re quest gave the bird imitation, delighted everyone present, and was heartily en cored. After the program, bon-bons were passed around, and soon each guest was wearing a paper cap of some description, the while they partook of refreshments. The proceeds of the evening were tor the benefit of the Con gaegational church. THE HOUSE ORGANIZED. Senator Hoar's Opinion followed Ben son Is Speaker.

Suspended by threads from the top of the window are innum erable purple butterflies, and from across the street the Immense window looks as thoueb it contained a bevy of them. However, the only. way to get an idea as to how pretty it is, is to go and look at it. - ' . This Ia Tour Opportunity.

A. woman will broil a steak, says a wise woman who knows, and see that the coffee does not boil over, and watch the cat that she does not steal the re mainder of meat on the kitchen - table, and drese the youngeet boy, and set the table, and see to tbe roast, and stir the oatmeal, and give tbe orders to tbe batcher, and she can do it all at once and not half try.

But he cannot find a spool of red thread in his wife's workbasket : he can't discover her pock et in a dress hanging in the closet ; he cannot bang out clothes and get them on the line right end up. .He cannot hold clothespins in bis mouth while he is doing it,eitber.

That's what he can't, brother, and there are whole lote of things besides he can't do. He can't talk bis other half to a standstill with his .mouth full of hair pins, and not miss a note ; or look pretty and talk saucy tfith both hands engaged in tying up his back hair. He can't keep up a running conversation on nine different subjects at once, and not get them tangled or the pronouns mixed, He can't put the baby's stockings on without getting the heel on top of the foot, and he can't chew gum worth a cent. He can't kiss the pain from child hood's hurts, or charm smiles into eyes but a moment before filled with tears, He can't wet-nurse the baby bv first in tentions, but has to fall back on bis old friend, the bottle. He can't be a down sprouted angel, with a. voice like falling waters, one minute, and a full-fledged devil of a bucking cayuse with the breeching kicked off, the jiext. He can't match colors in woolen and silk goods, not to save his immortal soul. He can't love his enemies to their faces, and bate his friends behind their backs. He can't hit the bargain counter, where goods are selling for cost, and get twenty five per cent discount without any back talk. He can't dance all night in a pair of tight shoes, and smile like the face of Nature in Jane. He can't look sweet and pretty in a suit of clothes costing six bits, and he can't do a hundred thousand other things that the dainty. dimitied, little darlings can do without an effort. But more than all, he can't get along without the charming, cantankerous, wbeeedling, purring, lovable, kissable, wrap-a-man-around-their-fingerabledod gasted, measly little darlings, whose eyes go tbrongb a fellow like an X ray, and whose presence is as the scent of vio lets in the breath of spring. , She is nature's grandest handiwork, God's last and best gift direct from heaven, and only kept from being an angel from as sociation with man.

The body of old man Willy, who was buried near Vale seven years ago, was taken up and moved to the Vale ceme tery Monday, on account of tbe grave being npon tbe premises now occupied by M. G. Hope's new Btone residence. The coffin was in a fair state of preser- vatfon and waB quite easily handled, but the most peculiar phase of the affair was that the body was tamed over in the co fin and was lying upon the left side, resting upon the-left arm, which was doubled underneath it. This could not have been occasioned by the moving, which was done so carefully that the shroud, which had become a powder that could be blown away, was not dis turbed by the handling. The beard on his cheeks had grown to about three inches in length, though when he was buried it was not more than a quarter of an inch long. The position of the body in tbe coffin ia all the more strange in consideration of tbe fact that the corpse, when buried, was in such mal-odorous condition that a large amount of carbolic acid had to be used upon it to enable those in charge to handle it in burial. This apparent state of decomposition bad preceded death for several hoars. And Frank Glenn, who assisted in placing tbe body in the coffin at the burial in - 1889, vouches for the fact that it was lying npon the back in the regulation position for burial.

' BADLY BURNED. A Totfng Lady and Three Children Nar rowly Escape Being Burned to Death. On last Friday evening, while Miss Minnie Boatman, a young lady of about 18 years of age, was carrying a lighted lamp from one room to another, a door swung to and knocked the lamp from her hands, which exploded after striking tbe floor, says the Enterprise' Aurora. The oil saturated her clothing, which at once took fire, as did also tbe house iu which the three small children of B. T. Long were sleeping, the parents being absent to the literary society, which Was in session in the ball at the ti Jfe. Miss Boatman having great presence of mind; ran out into the street and seeing a light in tbe Aurora office, which stands next door to where the accident ocenred, she rushed in all ablaze. Messrs. L. J. Rouse, Geo. Voris and J. W. Allen were at work in tbe office, and by the nse of a couple'of coats, succeeded after some heroic-work, in getting the blaze smoth ered, but not till tbe girl's hands were fearfully bnrned. Mr. Rouse rushed in to the house and found the room - all on fire, and a baby carriage with the young est child in it asleep and surrounded by flames. A few buckets of water soon brought the burning building under con trol. SECOND DEATH LOSS. United Artisans Fay Promptly celpt or Death Proor. on Re- The East Oregonian of January 16, 1897, says: The second death loss ever incurred by the United .Artisans was paid Max M. Moorhead, district deputy lor East ern Oregon .and Washington,. Friday. It was for $1000, and paid to Mrs. Mary Gibbs, of Ukiab Assembly of Artisans, and was certificate No. 2362. The claim was paid with a promptness which indi cates that business methods are being pursued by the head officers of tbe Ar tisan order. The organization is only twenty-five months old, and has had a growth of 3,500 members. The death loss was paid by the supreme clerk im mediately upon tbe receipt of the proof of loss. The supreme officers of the Artisans, which is an Oregon institu tson, are John H. Mitchell, U. S. sena tor; C. B. Bellinger, U. S. district judge; C. L. McKenna, Francis I. Mc- Kenna, F. S. Akin, F. L. Willis, George W.Bates. Peculiar and valuable features pos sessed by the. order of Artisans .is a re serve fund and the admission on equal terms of men and women. The Bubonic Plague. The fact that two cases of bubonic plague have developed in London is a reminder that eastern epidemics too fre quently girdle tbe earth in running there course as did la grippe, which was first heard from in Russia. We ' are ex posed on two sides to invasion by the bubonic plague, wiich is the "black death" which in 1665 killed 100,000 Eng lishmen.

Tha swarming rats,, dying by thousands, were the first warning the Chinese had that the epidemic was upon them. From China the disease got to Formosa and tbe Malay peninsula. Tbe Japan ese,' with their modern learning, kept the deadly invader comparatively at bay ; but the disease crept into India and baa spread with frightful rapidity. In India, as in China, the advent of the plague was heralded by an epidemic among; rats. -I The feature of the disease is the sud denness olattack. The first symptom is usually a chill. Then follows acute nervousness, with fever that sends the) temperature to from 100 to 107 degrees. Headache, thirst and intense pain in tbe upper part of the abdomen follow. Sticky "perspiration exudes from the) pores and then follow the glandular swellings, from which the disease takes its names. These occur in tbe groin or neck or under the armpits. The more of them there are the less dangerous the attack. Dark spo's appear npon the skin of the victim jast before dissolution..
