We forget to mention in the list of
prize-winners at the masquerade, the
hose team. It was presented a box of
cigars.
Thursday two divorce suits were
granted, Frank J. Meyer getting segre
gated from Annie M. Meyer, and Ketty
Staley from J. E. Staley.
The total receipts of the masquerade
were $145, expenses $55, leaving a bal
ance of $90, which was turned over to
Mr. Crate at noon today.
The examination of teachers for county
certificates closed last evening. Today
there are two applications for state cer
tificates, one for state diploma and one
. for state life diploma.
Lots 4, 5, 6 and 7 in Sec. 6, Tp. 1 N.
E. 10 E., were sold by the sheriff today,
by order of the circuit court, in the case
of J. J. Spencer vs. W. R. Winans and
others. The plaintiff bid in the prop
erty for $1,208.47.
. The case of the State against Oaburn
is on trial today, and will probably be
concluded tonight. The evidence is all
circumstantial, and with Judge Bennett
for the defense, it is certain that the
chain of evidence will baye to be proven
very straight if a conviction is had.
The .Woodmen Dramatic club of
- Dnfur will make its appearance before
the Dufur public, February 17, in the
play of "Tue Deacon." It is in five acts,
and we judge from the synopsis given in
the Dispatch with the talent of the char
acters, it will be one worth hearing.
J. W. Taylor, son of Osborn Taylor,
near 12-Mile., was thrown from a wagon
--Tuesday morning by an unruly team,
and suffered a severe dislocation .of his
left shoulder. The displaced bones
were readjusted by Dr. Dietrich, anil in
few days young Taylor will be himself
again. Dufnr Dispatch.
A shouter at Salem, defending Senator
Carter, said he knew he told the truth
that Carter crossed the plains in '52,
and, said he, "those old pioneers caiinot
tell a lie. They are different from the
men who came by easier modes of trans-
portation." The ebouter came by the
easier modes, hence his statement, so
. unqualifiedly made.
.Owen Williams, who has been in the
hospital at Portland for some time, has
left that institution and is now under
the care of other physicians. He writes
that his present physicians pronounce
his trouble catarrh of the stomach, and
tell him he will be all right in a short
time. His health has improved consid
erably since going to Portland.
Major and Mr?. Parker, commanding
officers of the North Pacific division of
the Salvation Army, comprising Oregon,
" Washington and Idaho, will visit The
- Dalles next Thursday and Friday even
ings. Thursday evening an admission
.'of 10 cents will be charged, when the
major will speak on their future pauper
policy and bousing of the poor in
America. Captain Sheridan, of Seattle,
will accompany them. An Interesting
program has been arranged.
The dispatches state that President
elect McKinley will conyene congress
soon after his inauguration, for the pur
pose of amending the tariff laws. It is
somewhat of a coincidence that when
Cleveland was elected upon a tariff re
form issue, he convened congress to
- monkey with the financial buzz saw,
and ignored the tariff. McKinley was
elected on the financial issues, and con
venes congress to change the tariff.
Tomorrow being St. Valentine's day,
. and it being Sunday makes the delivery
of the tender and sentimental tokens of
love-gladdened hearts somewhat tedioue.
However, they will keep much longer
perhaps in safely than the infantile love
which is responsible for them. One
. thing is gained, and that is that the
cheap fellows, calculated to turn the
milk of all human, kindness to gall, will
also be delayed, and perhaps will not be
sent oat so numerously as usual.
- - This morning a slender and graceful
gentleman, with a smooth and. smiling
- countenance, drove up to Pease & Mays,
seated in the firm's delivery wagon. ' He
was dressed in a long linen duster and
apparently wearing a mask. The boys
in the store at first thought it was
the much talked of harbinger of spring,
but finally concluded it was some man
who had attended the masquerade and
had forgotten to remove his costume. A
critical examination proved the latter
surmise to be ttue, and when the mask
waa removed it turned out to be none
other, than Tom Ward. .
Newspaper men are blamed witn aioi
of things they can't help, sucn as using
partiality in mentioning visitors, giving
news about some folks and leaving
others out, etc. ' He simply prints the
news he can find. Some people inform
us of things and others do not. An
editor should not be expected to know
names and residences of all your ancles,
annts and cousins, even if he should see
them get on and off the train. Tell as
about it. It's news that makes a news
paper, and every man, woman and child
can be ao associate editor if he would.

Senators A. J. Johnson and C. E,
Harmon, tne former from Scio and the
latter Grants Pass, were in the city yeB
terday, being on the portage railway
committee. They are both young men,
but from .indications at Salem will be
considerably older before tbey are called
upon to act in their official capacities.
The case of the State 'against Osbarn,
charged with robbing Rotbery, was tried
Saturday, the jury being out but a short
time when it agreed upon a verdict of
acquittal. The evidence was entirely
circumstantial and the jury evidently
did not think it strong enough to pre
clude other reasonable theories of his
innocence.
Can you afford to miss it? We refer
to A. M. Williams & Co's generous offer
ings in woolen dress goods. Their 35
cents grades of very desirable weaves,
suitable for either street or house dress
es, to close at 20 cents a yard. Some
very choice patterns in 50 cents goods
going at 30 cents a yard. No need to
put off buying that new dress or wrap
per any longer.
, We received this morning a copy of
the Hawaiian Star, published at Hono
lulu. It is intensely American in its
views, and advances some forceful
arguments in favor of the United States
annexing the Hawaiian islands. We
confess to a change of sentiment on the
subject after a perusal of its columns,
and believe it would be a good thing for
this government to at least establish a
protectorate over them.
Pease & Mays have not completed the
repairs to their big store, but they are
far enough along that tbey are again
waiting on customers, and In a few days
they will have the best equipped and
largest general merchandise store in
Eastern Oregon. The new grocery de
partment is being nicely fitted up and
will be soon completed, and the big sky
light baa made a wonderful improve
ment in the way of lighting the back
part of the store. -
-A single type dropped from the
forms of the Pittsburg Leader the other
day, and its loss cost the paper $405. It
appears that a Pittsburg concern had
advertised in that edition of the Leader
a special sale, of ladies' wrappers at 98
cents each. In handling the form the
figure 9 dropped out. The loss was not
noticed until next morning, when the
store was besieged by ladies wanting to
buy wrappers at 8 cents, as advertised.
The firm stood by its guns until the last
wrapper was sold. Then it sent in a bill
for $405 to - the Leader, this being the
sum representing the difference between
8 cents and 98 cents on each Wrapper
sold. The Leader paid the bill without
protest.

the Congregational church this evening.
Mr. Lowell is one of Eastern Oregon's

A cougar visited the sheep camp of J.

band broke camp and the next morning
the sheep were scattered all oyer the
country. Mr. Circle found twenty-one
carcases, and although it has been about
a week since it happened he is oat about
ninety head more. Mr. Circle Bays that
his sheep are doing well, and unless we
have a very severe winter he will not
have to feed any.
Sunday evening at the Methodist

her, was read by Mrs. Smith French
Miss Deming sang a very pretty solo
and Miss Mabel Cross gave a missionary
recitation, which was well rendered,
after which Mrs. J. R. Warner spoke in
the most energetic and feeling mariner
on the work of the society. She is an
exceptionally good speaker, and a thor

Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local . applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased , portion of the ear.
There is only one' way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube is in-ftritut-d
you have a 'rumbling Bound or
imperfect hearing, and when it Is en
tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restoredjto its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine caws oat of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the macous sur
faces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars ; free.

THE BRADLEY-MARTIN BALL.
It Costa Them 300,000, and the Guests
' ' aa Much More.
The Bradley-Martin ball which has
caused bo much comment is a thing of
the past. , It was the most costly affair
of the kind ever given in America, and
consequently Mrs. Bradley-Martin is
supremely happy. A dispatch a day or
so since gave the following description of
the affair : .
Never in New York has a greater
floral display been made at a ball. Tiny
electric lights and colors were used in a
bewildering and artistic manner, all
combining to transform the already
beautiful hotel to ' an enchanting fairy
honse. The arrangements for the ball
were tested to ttreir fullest, but with ex
cellent good fortune tbey were equal to
every emergency. ' Thousands of men
and women crowded the streets around
the hotel, but the police kept them mov
ing and no conflicts or excitement of any
kind resulted. Detectives swarmed in
and around the house to prevent trouble,
but their presence was not needed.
The costumes were exquisite. All the
great men and women of the last three
centuries were represented. Arrayed in
rtituent costly beyond the dream of the
originals were the men and women who
appeared last night as ladies and gentle
men of the olden periods.
At midnight the great ball was at its
height. All society was there gathered
to portray the regal splendor of past cen
turies. The great ball room of the Wal
dorf, beautiful with a wealth of rosea
and fragrance,was then a scene of grand
eur never before equaled in this country.
Courtiers of old, of every clinfe, mingled
with grand dames and ladies, kings and
queens, princes and princesses; but here
and there the old spirit of loyalty had
manifested itself in the presence of colo
nial men and women of the old and
quaint days in America.
The only way to bring the magnifi
cence of this ball borne to the under
standing of common people, who consid
er a one dollar hat check charge as rob
bery, is by comparison. This Martin
ball broke the record. It outshone- the
famous Vanderbilt ball of fourteen years
ago, which bas stood as the high water
mark of extravagance in New York.
Mrs. W. H. Vanderbilt's ball, March
26, 1882, cost $250,000, while Mrs. Bradley-Martin's
cost $300,000.
Between 1500 and 2000 guests were
present. All of the costumes of the
members of tne Bradley-Martin family
were bought in New York. Mrs. Mar
tin bought 300 pairs of eilk stockings at
$5 a pair for the servitors. They ap
peared in the costumes of the period of
Louis XV. Four hundred carriages at
$7 each, were ordered by the Martins for
the guests. The carriages were arranged
in a procession, and guests on leaving
took the first carriage at the door. This
prevented confusion, and obviated the
necessity of calling out numbers.
It is announced by the "gossips of I
Gjlham," that the ball was given osten-1
eibly to announce the engagement to
Miss Alice Post, niece of Mrs. Frederick
Vanderbilt, to Bradley-Martin, Jr.
While this is denied by tie Martins, it
is stated in society circles to De a fact.

beautiful colors and geometrical figures.
That is, the figures of the dance were
geometrical, but those of the maskers
were curves of beauty and nature's own
magnificent handiwork. The masquer
ade was different from any ever held
here, being noticeable for its lack of
tramps, squaws, Indians, negroes and
elowns, and for the neat, tasty and
sometimes gorgeous costuming. Every
body was there to have a good time and
tbey had it. Shortly after 10 o'clock
the masks were removed and the prizes
distributed, to the following winners :
Handsomest costume, lady, Mrs,
Burns, Spanish senorita; best sustained
character, Miss Emma Jacobsen, rail
road; best waltzer, Miss WilmaTeague;
handsomest costume, gentleman, Fred.
Burchtorf, Spanish Cabailero; best sas
talned character, Fred. Lemke, colonial
duke; best waltzer, M. Hansen; most
comical character, Joe Woodfred, apple
peddler.
Tbe immense hall was filled with
dancers, and the stage-and every avail
able place with spectators. ' Financially
as well as socially it was a decided suc
cess and will leave quite a neat 'little
sum for its worthy recipient, John Crate.
One hundred and eighteen tickets were
sold. The music was furnished by the
Birgfeld orchestra and that requires no

DIED.
In this city, Friday, Feb. 12th, of ty
phoid fever, Jessie Butler, aged 16 yrs.,
7 mo. and 7 days.
And thus, after weeks of suffering,
one of the sweetest and most lovable ot
characters bas been taken from the
borne circle and from the many friends
to whom she had endeared herself.
Jessie Butler was born in Ottawa,
Kan., July 5, 1880,-and came with her
parents to The Dalles when about 2
years of age. She was converted about
a year ago. when she joined tbe Method
ist church, being taken into full connec- .
tion two months ago. In every branch
of church work and deeds of charity con-
nected therewith she was foremost, and
often in the hours of her delirium did
she speak of the noble work which she
loved. In her home life and with her
schoolmates the sweetness of her dispo
sition was most apparent, and in her
quiet way she won all hearts.
Jessie's death has been doubly hard
for her parents, brother and sisters to
bear from the fact tbat having at one
time daring her sickness given up all
hope, they were led to believe, as she
rallied and become somewhat better,
that she might be spared, only to have
those hopes overthrown after days and
nights of patient vigil.
If in each sorrows sympathy could
avail, their's would be a lighter load;
but in euch an hour human sympathy
fails to be a balm
