The question now before us is not to get the stuff. The crowded
shelves, the counters fuU, both show we've got enough. What we need just now
is buyers folks who spend the ready cash; so we mention a few "flyers,
knock the prices into smash. This metrical announcement may tempt you to
invest. YOU BRING; THE MONEY TO US; OUR GOODS WILL DO

The correct reading for the day, which is
taken by Mr. Brooks at 8 o'clock, was
32.8.

pect to arrive here before the 12th, at
which time the quarterly examination
of. teachers takes place. l
County commissiopers' court ad
journed yesterday, having completed all
the business of the term. There were
no road contests, or other matter of that
kind, and consequently the session was
the shortest on record.

He attended the post graduate course
for two weeks in New York City during
bis trip. If he leaves Chicago tonight,
It is hardly probable the locks will be
operated today, on account of high
water. Should this be the case, the D. P.
& A. N. will transfer freight and passen
gers on the Washington side to the mid
dle landing. This will have to be kept
up as long as the water is above the
32-foot stage.
There is no further news concerning
The Dalles National, no statement of
assests and liabilities being yet made.
The closing of the bank at this time is
very unfortunate, but depositors are
taking the matter calmly, and the opin
ion seems to be general that the tangle
will be straightened out in a short time.

The river this morning at 7 o'clock
touched the 32.7 mark, a rise of 2.1
since yesterday morning. The weather
bureau reports freezing weather Thurs
day night on the head waters of the Co
lumbia, and intimates the river will be

ther is predicted for the country east of
us, commencing Monday.
Citizens ot Marble, Wash., a small
town on the Spokane Falls & Northern
railroad, near North port, stoutly assert
that yesterday they saw a flying machine

dearly outlined against the horizon. -'
There were two sales to have been
made by the sheriJT this afternoon, one
being a postponed sale from laBt week
in tho suit of Mays & Crowe against

While Charles Emerson was cleaning
out a well on his ranch, about four
miles from Coupeville, Wash, Tuesday,
he found the remains of a man in the
last stages of decomposition. He noti
fied the coroner, who found the skull
broken in on the right side, as if from a
blow with a hammer. The coroner's
jury declared It believed the body to be
that of Finley Garrison, who bad been
killed by - some unknown man and
thrown In the well. '
The mild answer and ' the ample
apology do not always turn away wrath.
The Hood River Glacier rather roasts
the young folks who visited the town
last week for knocking down the flume
and shutting off the water supply, and
this' in spite of the very full explanation
given that it was an accident, and the
expression of regret therefor. We ad
mit that it is an awful thing when a pro
hibition town gets out of water, but
really think the kindly editor of the
Glacier might forgive our young people
and forget that there was anything to
forgive.
Next Wednesday the dog license ordi
nance goes into effect, and all dogs not
properly tagged will be liable to be first
impounded and then ruthlessly slain.
Dog owners, who desire to save the lives
f of their animals, will go to the treasurer
and pay the license $1.50 for dogs and
(3 fordoggesses and take the treasurer's
receipt for the sum. This receipt they
will present to the city recorder, who
will thereupon issue a certified check,
which can be fastened to the dog or dog-!
gesses collar.' This entitles the wearer
to trayel in the highest doggoned circles
of the society of dogville.

of the tributaries of the Cispus, a branch
of the Cowlitz river.
Enaggs, our old-time friend George,
who was here when the "Bridge of the
Gods" fell down, was ud from Portland
yesterday looking as fresh as a daisy
and 160 years younger than he did fifty
years ago. His many friends were glad
to see him and will have the opportun
ity to again gaze on bis classic features
next Saturday, when he will be here
again.
No further developments have been
made in the matter of The Dalles Na
tional bank. Governor Moody tells us
that as soon as the directors can be got
ten together, a full statement ot the
bank's condition will be published, and
that as soon1 as they can find exactly
what requirements tbey must meet,
energetic efforts will be made to meet
them.
Hood River just now is certainly one
of the most beautiful places on earth.
The big oaks are in full leaf, the grass
the brightest green, and the ground in
places fairly carpeted with flowers.
There is no more delightful place for a
day's outing in the world. The straw
berry patches are masses of snowy blos
soms, and everybody we saw yesterday
had a smile as broad as that npon the
face of Dame Nature. Strawberries will
begin to come in this week, and the
weather -continuing favorable, in tea
days or two weeks the harvest will be at
its height. ..

The man Daggett, who attempted sui
cide at Bafoa last night, will be brought
here on the morning train for treatment

Klickitat farmers are taking advantage
of the good roads and spare time to haul
in their surplus wheat, and quite
quantity of it is being received daily.
The river this morning was just 33 feet
above low water mark, and falling
slowly. Indications now are that the
high water at the worst will not gJ much
above the 40 foot mark.
Do not forget the sale of city lots be
ginning May 15th. This will give those
who desire to make a home for them
selves an opportunity to gratify that de
sire at a reasonable cost. See ad. on
fourth page. v

its socials next Friday evening in the M
E. church. A good program will ben
rendered, after which a lunch will be
served. The small sum of 15 cents will

Mr. J. Frederickson, ' who drives
team lor the Johns' .Lumbering Uo., was
kicked in the stomach by one of his
horses while taking care of it last night,
and it was thought for a while he was
8erioasIy hurt, but be is all right today.
Nearly forty members of the Grand
Court, Foresters of America, arrived on
the Dalles Citv last night. In the even
ing, refreshments were' served at K. of
P. hall, and an interesting program was
rendered. The regular session began at
10 o'clock this morning, and will prob
ably end- tomorrow. A banquet will
wind up the session.
There was a lively runaway last night
about 7 o'clock, Maier & Benton's team
doing the running. The team was in
the alley back of Keller's saloon when it
started, and the way the animals lit out
showed they were in a hurry to get
home. At the corner by George Gib
bons' residence . they ran into a tree,
knocked the fire plug over, and demo!
ished and demoralized the wagon and
harness.
The man White, who came here in
such bad shape from Walla Walla, left
for California this morning, accom
panied by bis brother. His care cost
the county a little something, but it was
well worth the money. He is not fully
recovered, but will be entirely well in a
short time, and it is certain that had he
been "forwarded" as the counties above
did with him, he would have been dead
He feels very grateful for bis treatment
here, and Wasco couhtv need feel no
shame over her treatment of him.

Attempted Suicide.
Mr. Wallace, who came down from
Rufus this morning, says that last night
a man named . George Daggett stopped
at' the hotel at that place, and upon re
tiring, left word to be called for this
morning's train, which passes Rufus

had no idea he contemplated harm to
himself. '
Water Notes.
The river was at a stand from Sun
day " morning until this morning, and
has fallen .2 since morning, standing at
33.6 at 4 o'clock.- Mr. BeHoff returned
from Ripana this morning and reports
the Snake as having fallen 2 feet at that
place uo to laet night. A fall of 6 feet
more is expected, and it is further
thought that the Sniike will not again
reach a point as high as it has teen this
season. . The-weather has been remark
ably cold through the upper country,
which accounts for the fall. Mr. Bay
ard tells ns that at Lone Reck, Gilliam
county, Thursday night ice half an inch
thick formed.. If the reports Irom the
Snake are correct, all danger of high
water is over, for the Columbia itself
cannot make a flood.

THE DUFUR PICNIC.
As Reported by Patty Brown, Whu Was
Certainly There. .
The boys mnst have had a fine time at
Dufur yesterday. Oar reporter this
morning interviewed "Fatty" Brown for
the purpose of getting a description of
the baseball game, and this is what he
got:
"Say, Barrett is all right. When he
got in the pitcher's box he sent some
red-cheeked I mean red-hot drives over
the plate, and fanned the boys out i
gracefully as the Dafur girls do. He
can give the ball a curye like that blue.
eyed girl's lip. (I forgot you didn't see
her.) But say, she was . a daisy, talk
about your Dalles girls and your Hood
River girls, tbey ain't ip it. ' She just
threw a carve glance at me and I fanned
out, never got to first base. She bad
black hair, and eyes like a cricket, her
head wasn't big enough to hold them
The score was 22 to 21 andfehe was about
18. Yon just ought to have eeen her
cheeks, talk about rosea and red apples
The infield was all right, bat the creek
was too handy, and I spent moBt of my
time fishing the ball out of the creek
with a willow. Say! She reminded me
of a willow, she was that slender and
graceful and stood 5 feet 4 and wore a 22
corset ; but the boys played a good game
of ball just the same. They had one
Coon in the Dufur team, bat he was a
good ball player just the same ; she wore
a green skirt with a waist made ot
changeable colored stuff and a bat that
was a flower garden, sure, but he made
some good plays' and was a good batter.
I danced with her three timeB iu circum
ference and she said 'foolish boy' when
I told her how I felt. Then I felt more
so than before, and sue . laughed at me.
The boys wanted to stay and play to
day, but I bad enough, she couldn't flirt
with me another day, not for a dollar,
and then I supposed she would not be
on hand the next day. That's the reason
we didn't stay, the boys had to get home
and go to work. : I'm going to Dufur
Sunday, got an invitation all right, but
say, the ball game was all right and we
beat, score 22 to 21 and she was 13 years
old, eyes like a cricket, black hair, fine
picnic it was, prettiest girls I ever
saw.'-' ,
And aa he closed his eyes in blissful
memory of the ball game and the Dufur
divinity, our weary reporter, being loaded
with information, slipped away.

The Baseball Oame at Dafur.
The baseball game between The Dalles
and Dafur nines was. one of the most
stubbornly contested and most interest
ing of any in which the Champions took
part this season. .'' ',
One of the most pleasant features of
the game, as well as everything else that
occurred during the. day, was the per
fect harmony and good will of all who
were present. Daring the ball , game
the vocal chords of all were taxed to
their utmost capacity, however, no per
sonal remarks were indulged in, and at
the conclusion of the game the Dufurites
ielt that tbey had suffered a defeat that
was no disgrace, and our boys delighted
in a well-earned victory, the score being
22 to 24. Ed. Patterson gave universal
satisfaction as umpire, while Harry
Esping kept the official score.
The following are the players of both,
teams:
Dufur J. McGraves, catcher; W.
Vanderpool, pitcher; J. Staats, short
stop; W. Sloam, lat base; H. Temple,
2d base; W. Ragsdale, 3d base; A.
Huott, R. F. ; W. Heisler, L.F.;F.
Cockerline, C. F. Champions J. Pow
ers, catcher; N. Johnston, pitcher; B.
Barrett, short stop; J. Dafifron, 1st base;
G. Dufur, 2d base; G. Moabus, 3d base;
W. Nichols, R. F. ; A. Ferguson, L. F. ;
M. Bartell, C. F.
Home-runs were m,ade by J. Powers
and J. D. McGraves. Three base hits
Max Bartell 3, Joe Daffron 1, Geo.
Moabus 1.
Atter the fifth inning Barrett took
Johnston's place in the pitcher's box,
and won many laurels daring the latter
part of the game.
' All who cared to trip the light fantas
tic had a splendid opportunity in the
evening until an early hour, when they
returned home well satisfied with May
day in Dufur.
All the Dalles people speak highly of
the hospitality of the citizens of Dufur,
and -express their thanks for the kind
treatment which they received. Should
the Dufur boys care to cross' bats with
bur boys on their diamond, thev mav
be sure of a fair game and equally kind
treatment at our hands. .
I. K. Taffe Indicted.
Sunday's Oregonian mentions the fact
that probably four indictments bad
been made by the United States grand
jury, one of which was of I. N. Taffe of
Colilo, and the other three, jurors In the
last' trial of the condemnation suit
brought by the United States against
Taffe. It states that one of the iurors
had turned "state's evidence," and also
that Taffe had wined and dined the
jurors. Taffe was arrested this morning
and taken below by Marshal Humphrey,
the charge against him being presuma
bly bribing the jurors.
Now, we know nothing whatever
about the case, but we do know Taffe, -and
will wager any reasonable sum that
if there has been any "skullduggery" in
the trial of that case that it was not' on
Taffe'a side of it. For some unknown
cause Judge Bellinger has evidently de
termined that Taffe should receive little
or nothing for his land, though the fact
is he received aa much or more damage
than anyone. - Another thing that
throws discredit upon the whole prop
osition is the fact that unless he bribed
every one of the jurors he could not ex
pect to gain anything, unless it was a
disagreement, and he could not afford to
pay for that. J. T. A p person and one
other of the juror?, we understand,
wanted to bring in a verdict giving
Taffe nothing.
Mr. Taffe baa many friends here, and
there is not one of the lot that believes)
there is anything in bis indictment, but
that hunger tor fees may have some
thing to do with it.
Jada-e MoArthar Dead.
At the home of Levi Ankeney in Walla
Walla Monday afternoon at 4 o'clock.the
spirit of Judge L. L. McArthur took

riage with Harriet, second daughter of
the late Col. Nesmith,' Two sons and
the wife survive him.

train' this morning, and will be buried

The Blind Phrenologist.
Prof. Vinter F. Cooper, the blind
phrenologist, will lecture tomorrow
evening at the Baldwin opera boose at 8
o'clock. Admission is free. The fol
lowing testimonial gives some idea as to
his standing as a lecturer :

To Whom It May Concern :
The bearer of this, Prof. Vinter F.
Cooper, has delivered a course of lec
tures in Fisher's opera house in this
city, to large and appreciative audiences.
It is quite generally regretted that bia
couree of lectures was not longer. His
manner of reasoning and speaking will
command attention from any audience.
