S. senate has passed a bill ap oronnatine $10,000 for maintaining a quarantine station at Astoria. The weather has moderated here slishtlv. bnt it is still cold enough. All - indications are for warmer weather. Europe is yearly using more of our corn product. The shipments of this grain for 1896, exceeding that of 1895 by 67,000,000 bushels. The Fayne mine in the Slocan dis- trict is now shipping sixty tons of ore per day, that yields from 250 to 400 ounces of silver to tne ton. Lapwai, Idaho is the liveliest place in the Northwest just now. The checks arrived last week for paying the Nez Perse Indians, $180,000, and' payment commenced Monday. Revival services continue at the M. E, church with unabated iuterest. Bev. J, H. Wood, assisted by Bev. J. K. War ner, will conduct the services, and a general invitation is extended to all. T.ionf -fVl Tatfarann arant t n TotiIa. . ton last night, where he will sit with the board to examine the captain and first and second lieutenants elect of Company C, and the second lieutenant elect oi company a oi Aa txranae. We again call the attention of the charitable societies to the fact that a representative of the Elks will be at the city recorder's office all day tomor row, and that the society desires to have worthy cases, where relief is needed, pointed out; and it will assist them. In the course of his three days speech on Cuba, Senator Tarpie denounced Weyler as the "Herod of Havana," and as "this indescribable diminutive rep. tile." Tarpie has a valuable and sting ing tongue and serves a good purpose in stirring up .the animals in the senate occasionally. The Regulator was late getting in last night, being detained by the freez ing of the locks. Today she did not leave until noon, as it was thought best to wait until the condition of the locks was known, which was not until about 9' o'clock. It being found they were open, she took on her cargo and left shortly after 12. The two American ladies receiving the highest salaries as choir singers are Miss Clementina De Vere, at the Pax ton church in New York, who receives $4600 a year, and Miss Dutton, at the Baptist church in the same city, who receives $3,000 for her services. The men in the choir at Westminster Abbey receive sal aries ranging from $400 to $500. Hon. Lydell Baker came up from' t.ij - . i j i i - v . j v k ' T .u . , - n . . . . tares. Owing to several circumstances the attendance was not so large as it might have been ; bat those who went were well repaid. Mr. Baker is a thor ough student, a logical reasoner, and is apt in the expression of his thoughts. Mrs. Arthur Sawal, wife of the late Democratic candidate for vice-president of the United States, is an expert ama teur photographer, and has received di plomas for .her work, not only in New York and Boston, but also in Paris. Mrs Bewail, who has traveled extensive ly, both in America and Europe, has made a charming collection of land scape photographs. The Umatilla bouse looked like old tims last night, it being crowded with enthusiastic Elks, bound for Heppner apd their friends bound to see them off. About twenty-three members of the order made the trip, and the prize band belonging to the lodge accompanied them. There Were quite a number of Elks came up from Portland, bIbo bound for Heppner. The small boy is a pretty good ther mometer, and he knows by intuition not only where every pond is, but just how many degrees of cold and how long continued it takes to put the diff rent ponds in condition for skating. He is visible, or was, a short time this morn ing with his skates hanging from his arm, hence we feel safe in saying the skating is good some place near town. We understand from one of them it is at Alkali lake, the other side of Mill creek, where they are congregating today. . Great destitution is reported among the ."poor in Chicago; but that, city knows how to take care of its own. The mayor calfed for subscriptions to a relief fund, and has met with instant response. The Pbstal Telegraph Cable Vo. gave $2,000; the lumbermen raised $1,300 in sixteen minutes,' and - promised $2,500 more; the Pabst .Brewing Co. of Mil waukee telegrabhed $1,000; the Pope Bicycle Co. cave a thousand ; ' and $35, 000 was raised almost before the mayor's call had grown cold. Pally 2,000 peo ple were given shelter last night at the public stations and Salvation Army bar racks. . . J 1 ' Thursday's Dally Don't forget the school meeting Satur day afternoon at the brick school house. Weather Obeerver Pague-is doing some remarkably good forecasting, hit ting the quality ol weather we are to have, every time. ' There is just a little slush ice running in the Colombia today, but if the pres ent weather continues there will be plenty of it in a day or two. L. Bcrden & Co. have jaoved their grocery and crockery store to ithe new Vogt block, next to H. .'Herbring'B, where they will be pleased to see their old customers and cultivate new ones. This afternoon is ladies day at the club, and they begin contesting for a medal which has been purchased by the club to be worn by the best lady bowler, until she is outrivaled and some one car ries away the medal. John Neebit, chairman of . the board of county commissioners of Klickitat county, had a partial stroke of paralysis of the heart Tuesday. His physician says this is one form the grip sometimes takes, and there is no fear of future re suits. ; The Regulator did not get through the locks yesterday, and up to noon today was still on this side. If she does not get through today, she will return to her wharf here tonight. . It was thought this morning that she would get through ime time today. The Christian church will give a Dickens entertainment , in the near future, and wish to procure a bust or portrait of the great novelist. If anyone knows where either can be procured in the city, a great favor will be conferred by leaving word at this office. There was a light fall of snow last night, and all day there has been a sprinkling of fine flakes falling from leaden skies that would probably furnish us plenty of the beautiful if the weather would turn a little warmer. As it is, there has just enough snow fallen to spoil the skating. Secretary of state Kincaid, refuses to draw warrants for printing bills for the lower house. This is tough on the "printer, but it is only one of the many results of the unlawful holding up of the legislature by a gang of "public 6er vauts," who will not accept the offices they asked the people to give them. The many friends Miss Yaw made here will be pleased to learn that she is not only very much aliye, bnt also very much in demand. ' At Salt lake she had ovation, aid at Colorado Springs seats were sold at $1.50 and the bouse was packed- One gentleman remarked that it would not be long until people would be tramping on each other in their scramble to pay $6 for the privilege of bearing her. The bill to license prize fighting has passed one .bouse of the Nevada legis lature, and bids fair to "become a law. The license is fixed at $1,000. After all, it may not prove altogether bad to have some place where the big bruisers may meet and pommel each other to their hearts content. It will at least put a stop .to the long distance . fighting, and serve to make the brutes less notorious in the newspapers. Nevada, just now, is n acconnt tot y other P"Pe. and there is nobody there to be offended. The new woolen mill at Pendleton is appreciated as a desirable industry by the residents of that city, as is shown by the favor- wbieh a plan . proposed by the East Oregonian has met. The plan is to make up a subscription list of as many, as will agree 'to purchase cloth made at the Pendleton woolen mills for one suit, the same to be taken at one time and made up by -any local tailor desired by any one. The mills are pre paring to manufacture a large number of patterns, so that the Individual can have many from which to choose. Thurston Daniels received forty-four votes for United Slates senator ' from Washington yesterday, and Turner thirty-three. Daniels is a quiet, clever gentleman, an old newspaper -man, and while he might not be arrested for arson of the Columbia caught fire, he would make a tireless and energetic officer. Washington may go further and fare much worse. Besides his Other qualifi cations be had the privilege of associat ing with the writer hereof for several years, a thing of which his competitors were unhappily deprived. About two years ago, a number of-Hollanders settled In Snohomish county, purchasing land in as large tracts as pos sible, and working the adjoining farms together. The colony is gradually grow ing, and almost without exception tee little groups of farms have prospered. A movement is now bring started to bring over a number of colonists direct from Holland. The Hollanders have taken up the matter of flax-raising, and will plant a great deal of flax this year, They have also encouraged their neigh bore to do likewise, and -will probabl erect a mill in that vicinity in time to work next year's crop. ' Friday's Dally. A telephone message, from the Locks at 9: 30 this morning elated the Begnla- tor was at that time on hex way through the locks. ; , President Penrose and Judge Lowell have exchanged dates for their lectures here, the former lecturing Feb. 2d and the latter Feb. 16th. ... " Mies Jessie Butler is very low with ty phoid fever. In response to - telegram her sister, Nellie, who is teaching in Portland, came home last night, and to day her sister, Mrs. Dvsart, and her husband arrived from Centralia, Wash Snow commenced falling last night about dusk, and for a little while came down at a rapid rate. About six inches tell during the night. . The east-bound paseenger was three-quarters of an hour late,-' caused by drifting snow, at Bridal Veil. - The sound of the sleigh bells has been continuous all day, and will probably be kept up until a late hour tonight. The weather clerk tells us it will not last long, and while it may be more snow to night, it is also possible that there will be rain, instead. It will no doubt greatly Np'ease tne many admirers of Miss Gladys M. Jones and Miss Harriet StevenB of Portland, to learn that these young ladies, who bo captivated . their Dalles audience in the musical recital given here about a year ago, will be in our city and give an en tertainment ' in .the Congregational church Tuesday, Feb. 9th. ' Jim Wesley, an Indian who' is, or was well known by all old residents here. died Wednesday at his home on the other side of Mill creek. He had been at a dance the night beiore, and came home apparently all right, but im mediately threw himself down on his blankets and in half an hour was dead. It is snpposed he over-exerted himself, a thing an Indian is likely to do only at a dance. - . - ' The funeral of the late J. E. Graham will take place tomorrow morning from the Crandall & Burget undertaking rooms at 10 o'clock, and will be con ducted by the Knights of Pythias, of which order he was a member. All Knights are requested to be at the lodge room promptly at 9 o'clock to assist in the funeral ceremonies.. Arrangements haye been made for conveyances to the cemetery. . , ' , ' The dedication of tha new Christian church at Heppner, Or., has been post poned from Jan. 31st to Feb. 7th. . Rev, W. F. Cowden of Tacoma, Wash., will preach the dedicatory sermon. A cor dial invitation is extended by the church at Heppner to their friends from a dis tance to join them in the worship of the Lord on the occasion. Elder J. W. Jen kins has secured a $5.80 rate from The Dalles ana return, providing ten or more persons will go. Mr. Gray, who had the contract for erecting the buildings at Warm Springs, has completed his work and arrived in town yesterday. Inspector Lane, who was here a short time ago, was enthusi astic in his commendation of affairs at Warm Springs. He pronounced their schools the finest of the kind in the United States, not even excepting the famous one at Cirlisle, Pennsylvania. Mr. Cowan, the new agent, is a thorough and competent- business man, and has everything systematized and running on business principles. The Jury 1.1st.

It is a good troupe, in many re spects a very good one, but it served to emphasize the fact tbatlt takes a white- man to make a real genuine "nigger minstrel." Miss Edwards singing was good, bo was that of the Thompson sis ters. The balancing feats by JohnPam- plin were exceptionally good, and the fUck wire work of Allie Brown, . proved that he was entitled 'to -the name of Monarch of the s lack : wire." There was lots of noise, lots of dancing, bat the features we have mentioned comprise the meritorious portion of the show. - Boeklen'a Anno salve.

' The interview with Edward Rose water," editor of the Omaha Bee, tele graphed from Chicago, in which he states that the affairs of the Union Pa cific system would be straightened out and a settlement reached with the gov ernment hefore March 4fch a.t.t.rnrre general attention among local railroad men yesterday. 1 ' It has come to be generally under stood that the Yanderoilts will secure full control of the Union Pacific sys tem, and with- it the Oregon Short Line, and the question now is whether or not the Oregon Railway & Navigation Com pany, with its line from 'this point to Huntington, will not also come under the same control and give .to Portland a through transcontinental route. It is generally understood that the Short Line owners control a majority of the O. B. & N. stock, and that, under the reorgani zation plan of the former road, with the fulfillment of existing agreements with holders of preferred O. B. & N. stock, that road will be merged into, the Van- derbilt system and afford it a Pacific coast terminal. - The statement made by Mr. Rose- water that the Vanderbilt system would construct a road from Salt Lake City to Los Angeles is not regarded seriously here. This is no.t the time when rail road corporations are building new lines of road to offset some rival com pany, and. so far as business is con cerned Portland has so many advan tages over Los Angeles as a distribut ing point that all talk of seeking a coast outlet in Southern California is deemed idle. The Herd Came Back. The Elks who visited Heppner. leav ing here Tuesday night, arrived home this morning. There were twenty-four of them from this city, six or seven from Portland and Astoria, and quite a num ber from. Walla Walla. . The. institution of the new lodge was completed about 6 o'clock yesterday afternoon, after which a splendid banquet was served, and the visitors left for home at 10 o'clock. A Pullman sleeper was provided for the occasion, but some of the boys did not sleep much, owing to the fact that a few ot them took advantage of being out in the sage brush, to practice on the dox- ology. They report having had a fine time, and all are enthusiastic in their praises of Heppner's hospitable people. ' The party was composed of the follow ing : W . L,. iiradshaw, Hal .t rench, Jacobson, Ed Williams, Geo. Ferguson, Ad Keller, W. H. Wilson, J. A. Crossen, W. A. Johnson,' Grant Mays, P. DeHuff, Frank Somers, James Blakeney, T. J. Driver, T.

The town of Hood Biver is blooded, and when it wants anything it generally goes to work and gets.it.' It has the finest school house -in the county, and the finest of its size in the state. ' At the school meeting held held Tnesday a special tax of 15 mills -was voted for carrying on the schools, which insures a full year term of school and good teach ers. Of course, opinions are divided concerning the advisability of levying so heavy a tax, but one thing is certain, and that is that in these modern days no town can grow and prosper without first-class school facilities. .We believe Hood River will feel the effect of having good school, immediately, and that it will do more to assist in the growth of the town than anything its citizens could have done. ' A Workman Decapitated. ' An unparalleled accident occurred at the Illinois steel plant at Joliet yester day, whereby. Nelson Johnson was de capitated. He was employed in the rod mill, and in falling from a high platform his bead came in contact with the edge of a platTorm, and the connect ing rod of the engine cot his bead off at the neck. The first his fellow-workmen knew of the accident was when the bead came tumbling into their midst. YOU -r i!fi9z- nothing BUT THE GENUINE The Contents of a Cow's Stomach.

Total, ninety-five -pieces. One of the most remarkable things connected with the incident is that the cow was in good health when slaughtered. A New Difficulty Attending Bicycling. A new difficulty attendant on bicycl ing befell a pair that bad journeyed fur ther than they intended to when hun ger overtook them. "Hadn't we better stop at some house," said he, "and - get our lunch instead of trying to reach home first?" She thought that would be lovely and they wheeled merrily along to a dear little inn. They swung off their wheels and he suddenly turned red. "I say," he stammered, in an un dertone, "have you any money with you? It's deuced awkward and stupid, but I have left my money in my other trousers," She smiled sweetly, then of a sudden looked blank, too. ''Good gracious!" said she, "and so have I."
