Saturday's Dally.
License to marry was issued today to
Oliver H. Kerns and Miss j Myrtle B.
- Patterson.
There is no change at Salem. This
remark is getting to.be somewhat similar
to tha,t daring the war, "All quiet on
the Potomac."
. Sixty clerks for thirty senVtors really
seems -like a good many, especially in
view of the fact that the senate cannot
expect to do anything.
The weather today is jast immense.
. Bright sunshine and a breath of spring,
taking the place of the lowering fogs
and drizzling rains of the past week.
Sheriff Wilcox of Gilliam county came
. op from Salem today. He told us con
fidentially that he saw no chance of a
third house organizing and so left for
borne.
Word was received last night from
Crook county that John Gage was dan
gerously ill. Hia son, living in the
Willamette valley, was telegraphed for
last night. '
- There were thirtv-eight members yes
terday fn attendance on the "joint ees
.' sion. The legislature adjourned to Moo-
journed until noon today.
. The Dalles Commercial club has prb
. vided a beautiful medal, to be competed
for bv the bowlers of the club. It is oi
gold and has the lodge emblem, an ar
row head, as the pendant of the jewel.
A. M. Williams & Co. have just opened
a new line of men's percale shirts, with
laundered collars and caffs, ranging in
sizes from 15 to 18 neck, to sell at 95
cents. Boys sizes in same style and ma
lenai at to cents.
Mr. Arthur Clarke has completed i
very pretty design ior a button for mem
bers of the Commercial Club. It is of
gold with a white enameled arrow head
for a center, and the letters D. C. A. C
also in white enamel.
Mrs. Wingate received a letter today
from Ed. She says he is delighted with
the Islands, and thinks Honolulu the
paradise of the world. He and Fred
Wilson are having a splendid time, and
are kept busy enjoying something new
and delightful in scenery or climate
The boys have not vet fixed a date for
their return.
The lecture last night on the subject
of Forestry was quite well attended
Mr. Jones proved a very pleasant talker,
and handled the subject well. He gave
quite a full .history of the order, from
the time of Robin Hood, illustrating his
lecture with some very handsome stere-
opticon views. The inclement weather,
no doubt, kept manv away, but those
who attended were well repaid for dsfy
ing the weather.
Monday's Dally.
ine docket tor this term oi court is a
remarkably short one.
At the city council meeting Saturday
night six lots were ordered sold.
The city jail had one inmate last night,
a man who seems to be off bis balance
mentally.
The highways are said to be, by those
who travel them, simply the abomina
tion of desolation. '
Hood River haB a delegation of half a
dozen of its leading citizens here to take
part in the business of the courts.
What was the matter with the wea-
hn tvrta.t Tf If 1. -I.:
(whatever that is) of spring, what was
It?
The circuit court term has brought
quite a number of citizens from the out
side precincts to do service as jurors,
among them our old friend, C. W.
Haight, who livos down on the borders
of Crook county.
TheNewberg Graphic is responsible
for this almost incredible story : "As
Btrange as it may appear in this day and
age of the world, a man walked into this
office the otbtr day and tendered the
"proprietor the .loan of $300 or $400. It
was not accepted either.''
The Woman's Belief Corps having
changed their meeting night to the sec
ond and fourth Monday of each month,
will hold their regular meeting this eve
ning at Fraternity hall, at 7:30 oclock.
All members are requested to be present.
The G. A. E. post and their families are
invited guests for this evening.
The lecture Sonday night at the Vogt,
by Mrs. Clara Hoffman, was well attend
ed and is very highly complimented.
Mrs. Hoffman in handling the temper
ance question puts it in an entirely new
and very taking light. Such lectures as
ber's do more good for the cause, tban
a thousand of the old stereotyped kind
with a feartul example as a text, and
Dale faced widow with nine small chil
dren as a moral. ... '
Tommy Conger killed on Pine creek
in Grant county, recently, a monster
gray eagle, positively one of the largest
ever captured in that county. Its wing:
meeured 8 feet 2 inches from tip to tip.
The bird was large enough to carry
child, its claws measuring 8 inches from
tip to tip, one of its spurs being 3j
inches in length.
Yesterday morning Mrs. Esther -Al
rr.ina Reno, wife of George Reno, died at
her home at Mosier from consumption
She lias been sick for some time, and
was about 43 years of age at the time of
her death. Deceased was a (laughter of
Mr. John Miler.. The' funeral will take
place from the family residence at Mo
sier tomorrow at 12 o'clock.
The soft weather for the last few days
has been causing considerable annoy
ance . to the train men on . the jMgm
branch of the O. R. & N., by loosening
rocke in the canyon south of Elgin
These loosened rocks, some of them
weighing several hundred pounds) roll
down on the track, causing the trains to
stop until they are rolled out of the
wav. .
A story is going the rounds in TXma
tilla county to the effect that Joe Hinkle,
a school teacher at Jnniper, probably
owes his life to some of his scholars
The report has it that Mr. Hinkle fell
asleep with his feet in the stove during
school recess last week, and bis shoes
and trousers were on fire when some of
his scholars rushed in, roueed their
teacher, and saved him.
Veni vidi and went away perfectly
satisfied and fully convinced' tbat men
are still capable of holding the reins of
government, even in domestic matters
When is all this? Next .Friday, Feb,
12th, at 7 :30 p. m., in the auditorium of
M. E. church ther will be a literary
and musical program by some of the
best male talent in The Dalles. After
the program, refreshments will be
served, consisting of clam chowder
coffee, cake and sandwiches. Remember
that all cooking and service will be per
formed by the men. All ladies are
asked to give this special notice and to
bring well sharpened appetites.
Doorkeeper Blundell is a very small
man: bnt he has a reputation for wit
which survives past sessions of the legis
latore, of several of which he has been
a member from Douglas county. Blun
dell got into a friendly controversy the
other day about the occupations of the
residents" of Yaquina bay. "Lazy?"
said Blundell. "They're the laziest and
sleepiest people on earth. They live on
raw oysters, and when the tide has
ebbed tjie table's Bet. Their pulse is
like a clam's, and beats once in five
minutes. They wake up jast once in
two years, and then it's only - to inqnire
if congress has passed the river and har
bor bill." Of course, Blundell was sim
ply jesting.
The Saturday Review eays tbat when
he was in Egyyt, Mark Twain hired two
Arabs as guides to take him to the pyra
mids. He was familiar enough with
Arabic, he thought, to understand and
be understood with perfect ease. To his
consternation, he found that he could
not comprehend a word that either of
the guides uttered. At the pyramids he
met a friend, to whom he made known
hia dilemma. It was very mysterious,
Twain though. "Why, the explanation
is simple enough," said the . friend
Please enlighten me, then," said
Twain. "Why, you should have hired
vounger men. These old fellows have
lost their teeth,' and, of course, they
don't speak Arabic. They speak gum
Arabic."
Good Templars ball was crowded Sat
urday night on the occasion of the pub
lic installation of officers for the ensuing
term. After the installation ceremonies
were completed, a fine program was ren
dered, and later a general good time was
had and a lunch generously served.

Tuesday's. Daily
The regnlar quarterly examination of
teachers begins tomorrow at noon and
lasts until Saturday. '
Hawthorne entered a plea of guilty to
a charge of assault and battery, this
morning in the circuit couff.. He will
receive his sentence tomorrow. .
Mr. Frank Wooddcock is in the city.
He haB taken the agency for W. J. Bry
an's book, "The First Battle," and will
canvass the corfhtry for subscriptions.
Professo Martin, the strong man,
might do a good thing for himself, and
also for the country by devoting a por
tion of his three months extra time to
lifting some of the mortgages in this sec
tion. He is - the only man strong
enough to lift one of them.
. The county commissioners, after ex
amining the' plans submitted for a
bridge across Hood River, ioday con
cluded to advertise for bids for a Howe
tras, a steel bridge and one. the name of
which we do not know, bnt the- plan of
which was submitted by Mr. Langille of
Hood River.
Miss Gladys Jones and Miss Harriet
Stevens, both of Portland, are in the
citv. and with the assistance of local
talent," will give a concert at the Con
gregational church tonight. Miss Jones
has a remarkably good voice, and Miss
Stevens has few superiors as a pianist.
Music lovers will not neglect the oppor
tunity.
We received this morning a communi
cation from a gentleman in Antelope, in
which be undertakes to answer a com
munication of Mr. Gourlay's appearing
in this paper a few days ago, concern
ing the political status of Senator Mitch'
ell. We generally take pleasure in pub
lisbing communications, especially if
something in the paper has suggested
them, but we have to draw the line
somewhere. The communication in
question would nil a column, and if
there is a tangible idea in it, we failed
to find it.( It has two faults. One tbat
the author bad nothing to say, and the
other that he did not know how to say
it. We do not rulnd giving a reasonable
space to even that kind of mental fog,
but Vben it comes to a column or two
of inane vaporings, it becomes a painful
duty to refuse it.
The Second Sandow.
Professor Martin who showed his won
derful strength in many ways, before
the Commercial Club last night, is cer
tainly a phenomenon; He breaks a steel
horse shoe in two by bending it back
ward and forward, it apparently being
as pliable in bis hands as so much taffy.
He took an iron rod about 3 feet long,
three eights of an inch in diameter, and
placing one end between his teeth, he
took the other in one hand and twisted
It into a spinal cord of three or four cir
cles. He lifted a 52 gallon barrel of
water weighing altogether ' about 525
pounds with one hand, and a cask of
32 gallons with one finger. Resting his
heels on one chair and the back of his
head on another, he permitted eight
men to sit on him at once, thus sustain
ing a weight of about 1400 pounds'. - He
then put three decks of cards together
and then tore the bundle in two, appar
ently without an effort, and this being
done he tore the half-decks cross-wise.
These are only a few of the remark
able feats he performs. He tells us he
is making the tour of the United States
on a wager that he will get home in 18
months with $1500 money earned on his
trip. He has three months yet to com
plete his trip, and when he struck The
Dalles only lacked $43 of having the
amount. He charges nothing for his
exhibition, but passes the hat for what;
ever any are disposed to give.
or Count It Was.
Lillie Devereux Blake, a very strong
woman's rights woman, has done consid
erable writing in defense of the "Wo
man's" Bible, She says, among other
things, that the - story of the creation
was "manipulated by some Jew in order
to give heavenly authority for requiring
the woman to obey the man she mar
ried." And then to show that the
female sex in all creation was just as
good, if not better, tban the male, with
a devotion to her cause much stronger
than her judgment, she writes page
after page to prove that "the chief
point of interest in the parable of Ba
laam and the ass is that the ass belonged
to the female sex." Of course it did.
How else would it ever have recognized
the angel? The average male manor
ass wouldn't recognize one without an
introduction. And, besides, the fact
that the ass couldn't refrain from talk
ing back to her master, was conclusive
evidence of sex.
Miss Devereux Blake should dissert on
something not so perspicuously self-evi
dent.
The Hood River Flame,
Mr. Frank Davenport, who has been
the city since yesterday noon, re
turned to Hood River today. He has
the contract for building the. big flume
for the irrigating company on the west
side, and has about completed the first
mile, at a coe of $6,000. The worst and
most expensive part of the work is done,
including a bridge across Hood river.
About three miles of flume remain to
be constructed, and one mile of ditch,
and he expeets to have water running
through it by the 1st of May. The
flume will furnish plenty of water for
10,000 acres of land.
. Tbe Minstrel Show.
Mr. R. K. Love came up from Port
land yesterday to complete.'arrangementa
for the minstrel show to be given by
members of The Dalles Commercial
Club in about three or four weeks from
this time. Mr. Love is an artist in the
intrl line, and expects to spend three
ays oi each week here in - training the
company selected by him.
. Tbe Dalles has some good talent, and
tbe coming show is already looked . for
ward to as the event of the season.
Ira Campbell Married.
Ira Campbell of the Eugene Guard,
has'gone and got married, without say
ing a word to any of us, his old news
paper friends, and then he goes circulat
ing down into Mexico for a btidal tour.
Ira is a genial, . generous quill driver,
who deserves a quarter section of heaven
right here on earth, and be has taken
the only step possible to secure it.
DURRANT TAKES A BACK SEAT
Scores of People Offer Gifts to
Murderer Officers Bay Bo tier
Is Weakening-.
the
Uutier, or Ashe, the Australian mur-
derer, who is in jail at San Francisco,
has been .equipped with a ward-
robe and now presents a very different
appearance in new clothes of city cut
from the figure he presented in sailor
garb. He is getting polite to everybody
and refuses many presents offered to him
by scores of visitors and come to look . at
him through the prison bars.
The authorities believe if everything
moves smoothly Butler can be started on
ma Australian trip in charge of the
ponce within two weeks. Uutler says
he will not tight for a delay. He eays
he is getting his evidence together slowly
and tbat when he reaches Australia he
will place in the hands of his- attorneys
sufficient proof of his Innocence. -
The Australian detectives say Butler
is already weakening, yid tbat he would
not have refused to go to Australia today
on the Monowai were it not that his at
torneys here urged him to show fight.
The Australian detectives say Butler's
attorneys here are working for Butler
gratuitously, expecting to be rewarded
by the notoriety they will obtain. The
longer the-case is before the San Fran-
cisco courts the more notoriety they will
achieve.
As evidence that Butler is weakening
under the strain, the Australian detec
tives cite the fact that to Detective Con-
roy Butler today said he would clear up
Welter's death and name the real mur
derers if the police in' Austria would al
low him to turn queen's evidence .and
escape punishment. He intimated to
Conroy that two other men were con
cerned in Welter's murder and that he
rhimself was not directly connected with
the murder.
Butler eays theee two mysterious mur
derers, whose identity he does not dis
close, forced him to take Weller's be-
lonings found here in bis possession,
This statement differs from Butler's for
mer statement that Weller was killed by
the accidental discharge of a gun. The
Australian detectives consider Butler's
statements tantamount to a confession.
Free Coarse of Study by Correspondence.
To meet tbe needs of large numbers
of peoDle, both old and young, who live
in remote sections of the country or in
plases where the schools are not ad
vanced, the university of Oregon has
made arrangements to conduct a four
years' course of study by correspondence.
The plan is to make this course entirely
free except a small charge, which will
cover the actual expenses. This charge
will be in the form of a small sum for
each lesson sent out. It will not exceed
what is actually paid out for postage and
clerical work in course. Students will
be expected to order their text books
either through local dealers or from the
Portland book stores. It is hoped that
large numbers of people will avail them
selves of this opportunity to do intel
lectual work under competent guidance.
It is also hoped to interest the press of
the state in the undertaking, so tbat it
may become very widely known; No
newspaper can be paid for publishing
the announcement of the course, since it
is not a plan for making money, but it is
hoped tbat a wide-spread public -spirit
may be awakened and that the press
will lend its powerful assistance toward
the success of the work. The course
will be divided into five departments of
study : English literature, Latin, his
tory and civics, mathematics, science,
Four years of work have been planned
in ' each of these departments. Any
person may take up one or all' of the de
partments, as he chooses.
The course will be conducted as fol
lows : Any person who wishes to take
one or more of tbe studies may send in
his name to the University of Oregon,
Eugene, Or. The words "Extension
Department" should be written on the
envelope. He should also state clearly
what lines of study he wishes to take
up. Directions will be sent to him at
once for procuring text books and in
structions concerning the details of the
course.
Questions will be mailed to students
covering definite portions of the text
books from time to time as they are
needed. These shonld be carefully
answered and tbe answers mailed to the
Extension Department of the university.
They wiil be corrected and returned,
together with a new set of questions.
rtis is in brief the scheme of tbe course.
The university has been carrying on
this work in a limited way for two years,
but it is' now hoped to make it much
more extensive and more generally use
ful to the people of tbe state. The ex
perience of the past, however, places the
extension department in a position to
manage the practical details of - tbe
course accuratelv and promptly. Tbe
only charge which will be made will be
for the lists of Questions and for marking
the answers which are sent in. It is
thought that this can be reduced to 10
cents for each set of questions and 10
cents for examining each set of answers.
This small fee will probably cover tbe
actual expenses of the course, and
nothing fu rtber is desired by the de
partment.
It is to be noted that this course is
open to all persons who desire to engage
in study. It will cover the ground of
the usual good high school course, and
the questions and suggestions which will
be sent out may often be used with pro
fit in reviews and examinations in city
high schools. No person' shonld feel
that a course of this kind is a complete
substitute for a good school, but if the
school is not available for anv reaeon
then much advancement in sound learn-
I ing may be made by taking a corres
pondence course,
I Full outlines of the course will be sent
free upon application.

A Copious Prevaricator.
Junius Crosby, a Boston drummer
gave the Uregonian a great nil about
getting capsized in the Columbia river
at Wyeth recently, tbe article appearing
in Saturday's paper. If Junius can eat
beans as rapidly as be can Improvise,
there will be a famine in the Hub when
he gets back. Tbere are some slight
discrepancies in bis story. He says be
knew where his friend, Charlie Green,
lived, because his mail was addressed to
Wyeth. There isno postoffice at Wyeth
He says he caught a floating railroad tie,
the first piece of drift he came across,
yet it is an impossibility to find a piece
of drift in the river at this time of year,
He says he could hear tbe proverbial
dull roar of the rapids, when they can't
be heard a mile above them at any time.
He eays that he caught on a boom, put
in the river to catch drift about a mile
above the Cascades; yet there is no such
boom anywhere below Wyeth. He says
tbe only man he met at Wyeth was "a
big backwoods-looking fellow, who came
from somewhere and shoved a sack of
mail aboard." As we have said, Wyeth
has no postoffice, and gets no mail,
trains only stopping when flagged.
To be brief, Junius Urosby has a
kaleidoscopic imagination, that ought to
save him a trip to Alaska, where he says
be is bound. All he has to do is to give
his imagination free play, and save the
price of his ticket. Junius is a dandy.
Excitement at Prineville.
One day last week the usually quiet
village jof Prineville was aroused from
its legartby by an all-round fight, which,
for tbe number of participants, the zest
with which they went at it, the sexes
represented, the lawsuits accruing there
from stands without a peer, says the
Prineville Journal. Tbe fun was stnrted
bv Mrs. Delia Frazier taking it upon
herBelf to give Emmet Holman a hiding
for insulting her. The beleagured party
naturally objected to this treatment,
whereupon Theo. Cadle flew to the
rescue. Then followed a scene of the
wildest hilarity, a sort of free-for-all
fight. No arrests were made uhtil sev
eral days afterwards, when Theo. Cadle
was called before, Recorder-Bell, and,
upon hearing, fined $15. Liter he was
again called upon to defend himself, this
time before Justice Biggs and a jury.
. George Cline -has also been arrested
and will haye a hearing next Friday.
It is understood more arrests are to
follow.
Hold-Up
Saturday night Thomas Lacey, who is
the track-walker for the O. R. & N. from
Hood River to Mosier, while crossing a
trestle, was held up by a tramp. The
tramp was hidden under the edge of the
trestle, and as Lacey passed him he fired
a shot, and then by the' tune Lacey had
recovered from his surprise, he found
himself covered by a pistol in the hands
of the tramp. He was asked if he bad
any money, and replying in tbe nega
tive, tbe tramp went through his pock-
ets and finding nothing, took his watch,
which Lacey valued at $40,
The other track-walker was held np,
probably by the same tramp ; bat upon
being called upon to bait, never limped
a bit. He just filed bis own recogniz
ance and helped himself to that kind of
bonds known as "leg bail." He fled so
fast and so far in fifteen minutes that it
took him a whole day to get back on the
freight train, but he eaved what prop
erty he had w-ith him. , .-
