The man White, who was' sent here

pitiable object. His face, bands, and
feet are now bleeding, skinless, horrible.
Today he had a fit and fell down the
back steps at the court house, bruising
himself np badly. Looking at the poor
fellow, we could not bat think that it is
a mistaken trait in civilized humanity,
that does not allow the ending of such
misery as his. ua naa oat a snort

possible for Lim to get here at noon, and
so the afternoon exhibit could not take
place. Last night there was quite a

with the unique exhibit. Owing to the

of young horses on lower Crab creek, in

Mrs. David Griffiths, of West Rosebury,
was drownSd yesterday in - the Utapqua
river, near the bridge. The child was
playing with another small boy on the
bank, and waded in after a duck, where
he soon got beyond his depth. The
other child immediately gave the alarm,
but it was probably an hour before the
body was recovered.
T. H. Buford ought to be reasonably
satisfied with himself today. Last night
he lost a pocketbook containing a check
for $G0, quite a number of notes and
evidences of indebtedness and $15 in

ing to the sheriff, and at about the same
time Al Everding brought the pocket
book to this office. It had been found
by a Chinaman working tor Mr. Ever

Justice -Filloon has been trying a
small case this morning, it being that of
L. S. Davis against Pope and H. H. Rid-
deil. the suit being brought to recover
fees due Mr. Davis while be was justice
of the peace. Mr. Riddell had brought
the suit for Mr. Pope, and as the latter
did not pay, Davis brought suit against
both. The facta in the case were not de
nied, 'he only question being as to
whether Mr. Riddell could or should be
held responsible for the fees. The court
took the matter nnder advisement. .
This morning there was quite a lively
runaway on second street, it starting
near the Snipes-Kinersly drugstore, and
terminating at the corner of Court and
Second. The team was that used to dis
tribute the matutinal milk for the
Simonson dairy. . In some manner one
of the horses got a bridle off and then
the fun started. There was a generous
and impartial distribution of milk, made
much more speedily than usual. The
horses managed to go on opposite sides
of a telephone pole. The damage was
slight and the horses were not injured.

time was passed. About forty-four

physician was summoned but he could
do nothing to relieve the sufferer, and
another was called in. His efforts were

Your letter just received. . ;
I am now corresponding with a man
(a band man) who is going to start a
cigar factory somewhere in the West,
and I am engaged to run it for him at a
good salary, as he is not a practical man.
He expects to employ at least five men
from the start. tie "is a composer and
arranger and was saxaphone soloist with
tne Iowa btate band, so you may know
ne must be all right. He expects to
employ noinmg Dot musicians. . He and
nis Drotner are going to start out next
week and bunt up a location. I will
turn him over to you and you mav do
what you want to with him. I will also
recommend your town to him. His
i.ame and address is : E. S. Thomas,
Maryvilie, Mo. The town that secures
him will be fortunate, indeed. It makes
no difference to me where be locates, I
will run the shop anyhow. His brother
would take the road is not a musician.
I should like to see yon - secure this en
terprise for The Dalles, but von have to
oner some inducements, : There are
others after him. If your Commercial
Club would offer him a small bonus 1
think you con Id catch him. . The band
could also piy him a little during- the
summer season. He does not expect
much salary, for he knows that bands
can't pay it these times. - If you offer
him $20 per month during the .concert
season it will be enough, or Say $25. He
is said to be a good director, and that
would give me a better chance to play
my part. I haye never met him person
ally. I will not be here in time to get
your reply, but. you may address. 1637
Penn street, Kansas City, Mo., and it
will reach me. I go to" ioin him in
about a week. Now if you ever got a
hustle on you in your life, do it now and
secure this enterprise.' Lay it before
the Commercial Club or anybody that
has influence. Think of six first-class
musicians and a director for The Dalles I

Mr. and Mrs. Rufeno Entertained.
The Degree of Honor held a special
meeting last night in connection with
the A. O. TT. W., the occasion being a
gathering of the family circle in honor
of Mr. and Mrs. Bufeno, who had just
returned from Portland, it being their
first visit since Misa Jennie 'Russell bad
discarded the last name to take that of
her husband. A short program was
rendered,' consisting of music and read
ings, after which the editor of The
Uhrosiclb was called upon to present a
pretty - trifle, not of much value) in it
self, but representing whole lots of good
will, it being a gift of the lodge. The
present was a silver sugar bowi, bearing
simply the letter "B." The remarks
were in that peculiarly modest and quiet
vein for which the Chbonicxe man is
noted, and besides eliciting applause
that the remarks were over, also brought
out a very happy response from each of
the young conple. Ice cream ana cake
followed, and then dancing, which was
kept up until nearly midnight.

No better description could be made
of Edward Shields' entertainment, to be
given at the Vogt opera house tomorrow
night, than the following flattering com
ment from the Ilwaco Journal, one of
the leading newspapers ol Southwestern
Washington:
"In the two illustrated entertainments
that Edward Shields gave here last Mon
day and Tuesday evenings he sustained
the excellent reputation' he has made
everywhere, as a public speaker and en
tertainer, and it is to be regretted that
more people did not turn out, for it was
given as a benefit to create a library
fund for our city, schools. . Besides the
entertainments themselves merited bet
ter patronage; but it is as Mr. Shields
says, tbere are so many parties running
around the country with little "Jim
Crowe'.' magic lantern outfits humbug
ing the people, that when a good enter
tainment comes along they are the loser.
"On Monday evening Mr. Shields gave
a history of the Columbia river and its
environments, illustrated with about
100 views. The first view shown was
that oY the Fort Can by life saving crew
going, out to sea from the mouth of the
river. This was followed by a series of
pictures of local interest, which .elicited
much applause. These were followed
by views of the different points of inter
est along op the river to the dalles, and
after giving a description of . the great
Inland Empire, the lecture closed with
a history of the city of Portland
"Novel and pleasing features of the
entertainment were the illustrated songs
by Mr. Whiting, and also the illustrated
poems by Mrs.' Shields. Mr. Whiting
possesses a baritone voice of .deep vol
ume and great richness, and the audi'
ence showed their appreciation of his
talent by vigorously recalling him after
each song. Mrs. Shields' poems could
not be beaten in their line, each verse

The animatiscopp, which is now ex-
niuiiing tne wonoeriui pictures in our
city, is located at the old Vogt. building
about across the street from the Cheon
iclhs office. Mr. Wilbur, who is in
charge of it, is an honest and conscien
tious exhibitor, understands his busi
ness, and succeeds in presenting, not
pictures, but the moving, living objects,
To appreciate it you will have to see it.
The Marehfield Sun speaks of it as pub
lished below, and dozens of other papers
attest the perfections of the living scenes
reproduced: . . ' .,
The animatiscope entertainment last
week was a scientific -treat : it was in
fact everything claimed by Mi. Wilbur,
The pictures are produced with such ra-
piaity and exactness as to show every
movement as realistic as if lookicg at
the real object. It fa simply marvelous,
and one who haa never seen the animat
iscope will never reeret paying the price
of admission, aa the show is more than
value received for your money.

Cause A Myatery.
A strange occurrence at .Everett is re
ported, in- which death resulted from
injuries received by a baseball catcher.
Young Charles Brodeck 14 years old.
was playing baseball with other lads of
pictures thrown on the screen. She has
a pleasant voice, and was the recipient
of much applause. . The beauty of Mr.
Shields' e peaking is his easy and un
affected delivery. He haa his subject
well under control, and talks without
the aid of notes, introducing just enough
wit to keep the audience in good humor.
As for the stereopticon views they are
the finest ever exhibited in Ilwaco.
The views shown to illustrate the songs
and poems were fine, while the pictures
displaj ing scenes along the Co'umbia
river stood out on the canyas like steel
engravings. ' - .
