There was a case tried at the term of
court closed in Condon that resulted in
a very pecnlar verdict. It was that of
the State against Kenney, charged with
stealing two calves. The jury brought
in a verdict that he was gnl'ty of steal
ing -one calf and recommended him to
the mercy of the court. It was further
found that other calf waB in the pos
session of the prosecuting witnes. The
result was that Judge Bradshaw ad
ministered the lightest punishment, a
fine of $100.
Shortly after' 2 o'clock this morning
an alarm of : fire brought most of our
citizens oat of their beds, who soon dis
covered that the house belonging to
Mrs. Bunnell on Ninth street was on
fire. The Mt. Hood Hose team was
soon at work, bat the fire had gotten
such a start that nothing could be done
bat protect the surrounding property,
and the building and contents were a
total loss. Her folks being away, Mrs.
Bunnell - was spending the night at
a neighbors, and how the fire originated
is a mystery. The building was in
sured. Mr. C. W. Moore, of Camas prairie,
Wash., was in the city yesterday ar
ranging for the sale of butter trom the
Mt. Adams creamery, located at Camas
prairie. Creameries are rapidly taking
the place of the old-fashioned plan of
every fellow handling his own dairy
products, and it is well that it is so.
For one thing, the creamery is bandied
on scientific principles, has a reputation
to maintain, and consequently makes a
better and more uniform kind of batter.
Mr. Moore left tor Cama9 this morning,
having arranged with Pease & Mays to
handle the?prodncts ot the-Mt. Adams
creamery. .If the' products are 'like the
sample we saw, there will be a. much
larger demand than supply :. .

There has been an epidemic of measles
throughout the Northwest. Recently
Baker City reported 300 cases, bat just

Mr. McGann of Lyle conducted the
services at the Episcopal church yester
day morning, where a large congrega
tion was in attendance. The music was
exceptionally good. .
The delayed passenger train stopped
here this morning for the hungry pas
sengers to get their breakfast. The cars
were almost empty, there being only an
average of two passengers to the car.

John Andrews, who was charged with
exhibiting , obscene pictures, had his
preliminary examination before Justice
Filloon today, and was bound over' to
appear before the grand jury, with
bonds fixed at $500. ...
Sunday morning was as fair and beau
tiful an Easter as we would wish to see;
bat in the afternoon a Chinook wind
suffering from the .delirium tremens,
came along with a jag on that was sim
ply immense. The way the dust and
everything else loose flew was a caution,
and it kept it up well through the night,
too, bringing some rain before it quit.
The members of the Lutheran Sunday
school gave a sacred concert last night
in the courthouse, which' was well at
tended. The sickness of Rev. Grey,
who had the training of the children in
charge, caused some inconvenience, bat
every little tot did their part well, and
it was a success. The room was beauti
fully decorated.
The services at the Congregational
church yesterday morning were particu
larly impressive, and the church ' was
well filled with an attentive congrega
tion. The singing was np to its nsual
degree of excellence. Besides the cus
tomary anthem and hymns, a solo,
"Ashamed of Jesus," was sang by Miss
Mamie Cushing. The pastor, W. C.
Curtis, chose for the topic of bis sermon
"The Nature of the Heavenly Life," and
made,' a very effective address, after
which eight persons united with the
church. The service closed with the
administration of the Lord's Supper.
The river yesterday morning was 20.4
and this morning 23.9, a rise of some
thing over three feet in twenty-four
hours, ending at 8 o'clock this morning.
During the day the rise has been at the
rate of about three inches in two boars.
The change in the temperature, if ex.
tending to the head waters of the Snake
and Columbia, may slacken the flood in
three or four days, but there is water
enough coming from the effects of the
warm spell to send the river up to the
30-foot mark. It is now nearly four feet
higher than on April 19,1894, at which
time it was falling slightly, standing at
19.5, and having been a foot higher than
that. ' : .' ' "'. '

The new bowling alley is . rapidly ap

doubt, be quite well patronized. It is a
fascinating game, and a healthful one. .
It can be stated on pretty good au
thority that Max Pracht will not be ap
pointed governor of Alaska. Max was
sure of the place. He saw his title as
big aB life, bat it don't look quite so
good now. It is possible that he may
land in some place in one of the depart
ments herein Washington, as it is
known to be the wieh of the president
to appoint him to a suitable position.

tice. By order of the committee.' The
regular session will be held. .
Ten feet more water in the Columbia
will begin to make the boats iustle to
get up to the locks. The ride down the
Columbia, or up it either, at this time
of the year, is the grandest in the world
Under the new time card in effect to
morrow, onr citizens who desire to visit
Portland will arrive there at either 5
o'clock a.m. or at noon, and ran leave
either at 2 -.45 or 9 o'clock in the evening
to return.
On account of the change in the ar
rival and departure of the mails, and
for the ' convenience of the public, the
postoffice will be open on Sundays and
holidays, from 10 to 11 o'clock, instead
of from 12 to 1, as heretofore.
The sale of the city's lots in Gates1
addition, which takes place May 17th,
will furnish an oppornity for those who
desire to acquire homes to do so.' The
property is all desirable, the prices rea
sonable, and the payments easy.
The ladies of the St. Paul's Guild are
to have an Easter sale of fancy and use
ful articles at the residence of Mrs. J. S
Schenck next Friday afternoon from 2
until 5 o'clock. Ice cream and cake
served. It will be a pleasant place to
pass tue hours, and all are welcome.
The water commissioners met last
night bat there was only a trifle of
business to be attended to. A bond in
demnifying the commissioner,' against
loss, for paying the amount due on a lost
coupon, was received from the state
treasurer, placed on file, and the amount
of the coupon ordered paid.
B. S. Chandler of Lakeview had a
stroke of paralysis the other day while
sitting in his chair waiting for breakfast.
His wife called him to breakfast, and
beard his paper drop, but as he did not
appear, she went in and foand him help
less. On account of his advanced agfa,
the stroke is severe on him, but he has
improved considerably.
Under the new time card people from
down the river, who have business here,
will-be greatly inconvenienced, having
to stay here two nights to accomplish
anything. The boats and trains will all
leave for the West in the morning, the
latest chance to get oat being on the
8 :30 train, and as they all arrive here in
the evening the banks and county offices
a.re all closed before they arrive.
The river this morning was at the 25.7
mark, and coming up at. the rate of an
inch an hoar. The principal portion of
the flood seems to be coming from the
Blue mountains, though the foothills of
the Cascades are sending down a gen
erous supply. The " John Day and
Deschutes are both high, and the Yak
ima is at flood stage. The minimum
temperature for the twenty-four hours
ending at 8 o'clock this . morning was 44,
and if the cool weather extended East,
a fall of several feet may be looked for
within a week. There will probably be
a rise of from five to seven feet before
the waters begin to recede. .
- , Whence Comes the Flood.
One can get an idea ol where the flood
is coming from, from the following taken
from the Baker City Democrat of
Sunday :
The oldest inhabitant of Baker City
never saw Powder river when it had on
its fighting clothes like the present. A
week ago the stream was on a tear, but
that was mild as compared to its mad
ness yesterday and last night. All day
yesterday it raised rapidly, and last
night it was a second Columbia.
The great rush of waters has caused a
change of channel in many places,-and
through the city it has widened its banks
in many places, causing considerable
damage to property owners in its vicin
ity. ' At Donald's grove the overflow has
cut a channel on the west side and water
to. quite a depth, is running over the
north part of the city and flooding many
residence lots. Where the water comes
in Front street near tbe old Brothers'
school building it has cut a channel due
north down the street in some places
three feet deep.
The bridge on Valley avenue is oat
and much of the grade with it. Tbe
footbridge on Washington street is im
passable.. The black bridge lower down
is in danger of going out, and if this
should occur it will entail a big loss to
tbe city. '.. , ' ,
School Funds.
In accordance with law, the April ap
portionment of county school funds was
sent out from the office of county super
intendent .today. The total amount dis
tributed. $7,612.65.' after deducting the
$50, for each of sixty districts entitled
to funds, gives $1.15 per capita on the
school enumeration. In April '96 the
amount distributed was $10,717, the per
capita being $2. The greater per centage
of delinquent taxes this year has caused
the shortage in tbe county fund and as
the delinquent'roll is ; now placed with
the sheriff for farther collection, it is
probable that the August apportionment
of '97 will exceed that of Auguet '96.
Zachary Beard From.
In reply to oar comments on the
school trouble week before last, Mr,
Taylor airs himself in The Dalles Chron
icle as follows :','.' ; . "
I desire to say that the article above
quoted does not state the facts, there be
ing two notable misrepresentations.
Mr. Z. Taylor has not at any time, nor
naa anyone elee, circulated a petition
asking for tbe return ol Mr. La he to said
priocipalship, or for any other purpose
in connection wi h the school. It fol
lows that it could not. have met with
"a cold rebuke," or that "it was
mighty soon dropped." In connection
with others I canvassed tbe district to
see how many were in favor of Professor
Lake's being re-instated, and we found
the district almost unanimously in favor
of it, there being, only about" six op.
posed. A petition waB not circulated
because we understood that two of the
directors would not sanction his return,
even though the sentiment of the dis
trict were unanimous in favor ot .his
doing so. ,t
The people generally do not believe
the statements made concerning Pro
fessor Lake, and think - he has been
wronged, and that only the prejudice of
the two directors, Sbutt and Condon,
prevents them seeing and understand
ing this. Z. Taylor.
If the aboye article would be read
only by those who know the facts in
the case, who know Mr. Z. Taylor, and
who know his record for consistency,
truth and veracity, it would require no
refutation whatever. However, as many
will read it who have not this informa
tion at hand, ' we shall reply briefly as
follows:
The article which the Herald pub
lished week before last does not state
the facts connected with the case. Mr
Taylor himself, voluntarily and person
sonally . stated to the writer, that be
heartily approved of the action taken by
the directors in Mr. Lake's case, and
that under the circumstances they could
not have possibly done anything else
than to demand his resignation ; that he
I Taylor) knew the facts before they be-'
came public, bat that he smothered
them under as long as possible, and was
sorry they had ever got out;' however,
that as the matter had now been laid be
fore the directors, it has been settled
properly, and that he heartily approved
of tteir action. Then, with bis usual
skill of turning a double somersault, or
flip-flop on the mat of consistency, in a
couple of weeks from that time, Taylor
personally canvassed our citizens, and
asked them "if they would sign a pe
tition for Mr. Lake's return, provided a
majority of the other citizens did so.
From all but about six individuals (who,
by the way, heard not a single word of
tbe direct testimony) Mr. Taylor's pe
tition (and what else would you call it)
met with the cold rebuke which it
merited, and from men and women
whom we are proud to call our very beet
citizens, he got this reply: "The di
rectors heard all the facia in the case,
and we did not ; the directors were all
warm friends of ,Mr. Lake, therefore in
a position to give him a most impartial
hearing and the benefit of every doubt;
they unanimously demanded his resig
nation, and if you and the whole neigh
borhood demanded a reversal of their
decision, I would not." This being the
almost universal reply, the petition was
mighty soon dropped. No one has any
knowledge of anyone except Taylor can
vassing the district. And as to Shntt
and Condon being in the least particular
prejudiced against Mr. Lake, that is a
malicious and intentional falsehood.
Some people, it is true, have to go
fifty miles away from home Cwhere they
are unknown) in order to get into a
ledge, but if Mr. Taylor is on for a fight
with tbe school directors of this district,
and wants to carry on warfare ala tbe
modern pugilistic fashion on paper
the Herald, right here at home,' will give
devise and bequeath unto Zachary Tay
lor, his heirs and assigns, one-half a
column of space each week until the
referee the public yells "break
away." Antelope Herald.

Married, in this city, on Sunday
morning, April 18tb, by W. C. Curtis,
pastor of the Congregational church, at
the residence of the bride's, parents, on
Third street, W illiam J. Rufeno, of Port
land, Or., and Miss Jennie S. Russell,
of Tbe Dalles.
The ceremony was simple, only rela
tives of tbe parties being present, with
the exception of Captain and' Mrs.
Wand. The parlors were handsomely
decorated with a profusion of flowers,
apple blossoms prevailing. The mar
riage took place at 10 o'clock and the
young couple left on tbe afternoon local
for Portland. A large number of friends
were at the Umatilla house to bid them
God-speed, but as they had boarded the
cars at the depot there was only time to
wave handkerchiefs and . throw a, few
handfnls of rice, old shoes and con
gratulations, all mixed, after them. We
wish them, the very happiest of honey
moons, that may extend .'through the
next fifty years.
' Oar New Fostmaster.
Mr. Wm. Yates has received the ap
pointment of postmaster for Hood River,
and his commission will follow in doe
time. , Mr. Yates is in every wav quali
fied for tbe position of postmaster of our
growing community, and tbe Glacier
predicts he will make a model official.
Capt. J. H. Dukes was his chief oppo
nent for the appointment, and it was
generally thought he would be success
ful. Capt. ' Dukes ' was endorsed by
Canby post of the Grand Army, of
which he is a past commander and a
respected member, and by?a large pe
tition signed by many of the leading
members of his party. The appoint
ment of Mr. Yates, like that of Mr.
Yates, like that of Mr. Hermann's,
shows that ex-Senator Mitchell and Con-,
greasman Ellis have charge of tbe Ore
gon appointments and will look out for
their friends every time. Mr. Yates and
Capt. Dukes, both supported Mr. Ellis,
and both favored Mr. Mitchell's re-election,
but Mr. Yates was backed by the.
straight-out Mitchell Republicans of
Hood River and Wa3co county. While
congratulating Mr. Yates, we can sym
pathize, with Capt. Dukes, knowing how
itisourself. It takes a strong political
pull to get an office these days.4 Hood

Kaster Services.
'"' The Easter exercises at tbe Methodist
church yesterday morning were beauti
ful. The decorations were very pretty,
and of the usual Easter order, consist
ing of potted plants, lilies and other
flowers. The most unique decoration
was a regular tree of the Christmas vari
ety that had grown a prolific crop ot
highly-colored hen-apples. It was the
only genuine egg plant we ever saw,
and we wouldn't have believed it then
if it bad not been in the church. How
ever, when the exercises were through'
rhe Sunday school children were each
given an egg from the wonderful tree)
and were delighted with them. The)
music was all good, and the children's
songs not only well rendered, but well
selected, the motion song being especi
ally effective. It was sung by about a
dozen little girls, dressed in white, and
when the little arms went all at once,
reaching np as if asking to be. taken into
someone's strong arms, it made as
pretty a tableau as we ever witnessed.
There were so many pretty things that
we cannot remember them all, but have
only a memory of having snent a most
delightful hoar and a half enjoying with,
the little folks the . beautiful Easter day.
It has been twenty-one years fince we
attended Easter service before, and it
bad somewhat an air of newness to us;
but after yesterday's experience we will
not miss another soon.

The remains of the late U. S. senator,
Daniel W. Voorhees, lay: in state here

tbe state capital; and were viewed by
fully 15,000 citizens.
: Tbe act of the legislature placing tbe
street oar fare of this city at 3 cents in

The State fax Board has directed that
tbe paid-up life insurance policies and
those having a cash surrender value are
both representative of value, and should
be taxed, as the governor says, at some
value. There are policies in the state of
this class representing $115,000,000, and
some individuals have as much as $100.
000 insurance.
The weather here tbe past week has
beencool, with rain or snow most of the
time.
There is comparatively no spring:
plowing done, where, at this time last
year, corn was planted. Farmers also
complain of the outlook for a . wheat
