The weather report from Portland this
morning says : "The hot weather of

three days."

bachelor, about seventy Tears old. '
.. The river this rooming was at the 32.6

weather prevails throughout all the
. country ' around the Columbia-tributaries.
The. Snake is rising, but it is
thought its worst flood is. over and that

Hood Eiver is getting anxious about
berry pickers, fears being entertained
that there will not be help enough to
harvest the crop. ,

sold, the $20,000 worth bringing $20,500,
with all accrued interest up to date of
delivery refunded.
Hamilton, the man who was injured
by being caught under a brakebeam last

to making the day pass pleasantly for
onr visitors.
Prof. G. H. Dunn, principal of the
Athena public schools, and who read
law with Huntington & Wilson of The
Dalles, has been admitted to the bar as
attorney and counselor at law at Pendle
ton. The Congregational church yesterday
morning "did itself proud" by not only
making a determined 'effort to raise
money to pay off the church debt, but
by raising it. The sum of $611 was
raised in a few moments, arid the entire
church debt liquidated. - -
A number of gentlemen have been
busily engaged today placing a largt
tent in position on the lot owned by Mr.
G. C. Blakeley, on the corner of Fourth
and Washington, where meeting will be
held by the .Methodists each evening for
the' coming ten days, commencing to
night. The diamond drill has at last got
through the hard stratum - through
which it was only able to go at the rate
of fonr inches a day, and is now in much
easier rock. If the present conditions
hold, progress will be made at the rate
of four feet a day, and the question of
coal or no coal will be soon settled.
A. M. Williams & Co. 'a big window
yesterday was the center of attraction
for ' boars, a .. crowd blocking - the side
walk to such an extent that pedestrians
had to take to the street. The window
was ' decorated with Indian blankets,
bows, arrows, quivers, etc., and two little
tepees, wigwams, wick-e-ups, or. what
ever they might be called, were made,
and occupied one by a verj pretty young
Indian girl, the other by an older squaw
and cunning little beady-eyed pap
poose. It was a catchy advertisement.
It is now pretty well settled that

Word was received in this city yester
day that Henry V. Duffy of Waukon,
Iowa, was murdered at that place on
the night of April 27th by a burglar who
entered bis store, where Mr. Duffy had
a sleeping room, and whom be evident
ly attempted to prevent from accom
plishing his purpose.. Mr. Duffy, who
was 33 years of age, was a brother of
Miss Alice Duffy, formerly a teacher in

The river this morning stood at 36.6, a
rise of exactly four feet since Saturday
morning. At'l o'clock it had reached
i
the 37 mark, and reports from up-river
points indicate there is enough water on
the' ay down to add five feet more.
By Thursday morning a pretty accurate
idea of the ultimate height to be reached
can be given, but it is not probable it
will go above the 46-foot mark, and cer
tainly not above 50 feet. The latter
mark would bring it almost to railroad
track. In our opinion there is no danger
whatever of water high enough to inter
fere with railroad traffic, or to do any
material damage.
Some time ago James Brown bad a
row with a cripple in the east end of
town and gave him a severe beating. A
warrant was sworn out for his arrest,
but he skipped. This afternoon about
3:45, Constable Hill saw him near E. J.
Collins & Co.'s and undertook to serve
the warrant, Brown resisted and started
to get away, when Hill pulled his pistol
and took a snap shot at him. " The bul
let probably went high, but at any rate
Browu stuck his Raffs into his caynse,
(he was on horseback at the time,) and
if he kept up the gait at which be etruck
the brewery grade, he is bv this time
due at La Grande.
Richard L. Kelling, the young book
keeper who was arrested by Detectives
Holsapple and Reilley Friday afternoon
on a charge of embezzling $3000 from
the Grafton & Knight Manufacturing
Company, was arraigned in the munici
pal court yesterday afternoon. His at
torney, Mr. George C. Stout, requested
a continuance of his case till Wednesday,
which was granted. Selling's bonds
have been fixed at $3000, and he has
thus far been unable to furnish any. He
spent yesterday in his cell in the wo
men's quarters of the city j nil. and dur
ing the afternoon a number of his young
lady friends called to see him, but only
a few were admitted, and those but for a
few minutes. He still refuses to say
anything for publication. Sunday Ore

Hood River wants berry pickers, and
in another week, with warm weather,
the demand will be largely increased.
The berries are many, the pickers few.

here that the congressional delegation
from this state are doing all in their,
power to get the reservation open to

powerful influence and tireless energy.
Had he been returned as eenator to add
his strength in an official capacity to the

been opened long ago.
. Hood River Notes.
Glacicr.
Mr. J. J.Luckey has a patch ot a little
less than two acres of strawberries that
good judges estimate will yield 400 crates.
These plants are two vears old. He has
three or four acres of young plants on
his place besides.
The warm weather of the past week
forced along the strawberries, and next
week shipments will commence in ear
nest. Ripe berries can be found -in
most of the patches along the state road,
but not enough to commenoe picking for
shipment.
It is to be hoped the measles will not
attack the Indians. 'Hood River de
pends on the noble red man and bis
family more than upon any other class,
for strawberry pickers, and if measles
were to break out among them just at
this time, onr strawberry growers would
be in bard luck. .
Hood River's harvest is at band. For
the next six weeks everybody will be
busy employes working ten ' hours a
day and the bosses eighteen, Sundays
included. All danger of a killing frost
seem 8 to be past, and now, if the waves
of the lordly Columbia do not roll too
high, the wave of. prosperity will soon
heave in sight. '

THAT- BIG EXCURSION.
Twenty-six Coaches, 190O Teople, and
800 Turned Away.
Yesterday was a gala day for The
Dalles. By 11 o'clock the crowd beean
to gather in front of the Umatilla, where
it remained good naturedly until the
first section of the excursion train pulled
in at 12:25. As the train pulled in the
band welcomed the visitors with some
lively music, and in a moment, the
streams of merry people began pouring
ct of the cars. Nearly all of the visi
tors .had acquaintances here and the
greetings and handshakings were innn
merabie. A qnarter of an hour later
the second section came in with fourteen
cars, the first being twelve, and the
aarae scenes were enacted over again.
The crowd was hungry and about the
first. thing it did was to scatter in search
or dinner, liie umatuia house was
prepared forjihem, feeding over 700, and
the other hotels and restaurants were all
kept busy, though double the number
could have been taken care of.
When 'this part of the program was
over, the- people Ecatteied over the town,
eujoyiug the shaded streets and admir
ing the pretty lawns and door yards.
Many attended the ball game, and had
the pleasure of seeing one of the best
games of amateur ball ever put up on the
coast. Portland has a fine team of ex
cellent ball players, but our boj-s with
very little practice, played them a very
close game, the score being 6 to 4 in
favor of the visitors. Our boys played
almost an erroiless game in the field,
but showed weakness at tho ba,t and on
the base running. 'They' also had a
swifter pitcher than they ever faced be
fore and he fanned out many of them,
but good work kept the visitors' score
down. It was one of the prettiest games
ever played in the state, and our boys
may well feel proud at tbeir work.
There was considerable of a breeze for
an hour or two and about 4 o clock a
light rain began falling, which caused
the crowd to seek shelter and soon the
Umatilla and Columbia hotels were
filled and the covered sidewalk ou First
street furnished shelter for several hun
dred. The first section pulled out at 5
o'clock, the second twenty minutes
later, each being sent off with a hearty
cheer that was as heartily responded to,
and the visit was over.
It was an unusually orderly crowd.
there being no disturbance of any kind
during the whole day, and The Dalles
hopes to soon again have the pleasure
of another visit. ' It is said The Dalles
weather always kicks up a "bobbery"
upon such occasions, and if the rain waa
dne to the visit of our Portland brethren.
we owe them something, for it was of
inestimable benefit. .
Mrs. Jennie Kufeno Dead.
Saturday's Daily.
It was with profound sorrow that the
citizens of our city 'learned of the death
of Mrs. Jennie Rufeno, who passed away
at 2 :30 this morning. ' The circum
stances make her death a peculiarly sad
one. Easter Sunday, Jennie Russell
surrounded by joyous friends Dlaced her
hand in that of the man of her choice,
and pronounced the words that made
her a wife. Today her body lies in the
bouse of her father, awaiting the coming
of anot.ber sun, when it will be laid
away, bidden from mortal sight forever
more. Young, talented, loved, life
seemed to promise so much, but its buds
scarce opened ere Death, the silent one,
touched with icy band the tender petals
and and it drooped and died.
There are occasions when words are
powerless to express ones thoughts, or
clothe ones ideas, and this is one of them.
Beside the grave of those we love, lan
guage is mute, and the sympathy of
silence alone is eloquent. There is no
balm in. words, no partnership in grief,
but each must bear as best he can the
burdens piaced upon bim, and let the
fountain of h:s tears put out the burning
! anguish of his woe.
Jennie Russell was born in Oakland,
California Nov. 3, 1874, married April
18, IS97, and died May 15, 1897. Brief
tepan, short history, and yet ber life was
such that its "influence has made and
will continue to make itself felt, and
memory will recall to ber bereaved hus
band and relatives the many beautiful
traits of her 'character. God's finger
beckoned- and she has gone home.
Peace be with her and with her's.

- Farewell Party to Miss Wenner
Those who attended the dancing party
at Schanno's ball last night felt that the
evening's pleasure fully compensated
for the dearth of such amusement dur
ine the past winter. ' The party waa
given by Messrs. R. Gorman, Leo
Schanno and Miss Alma Schanno as a
farewell to Miss Wenner, who for the
past year has been visiting Mr. and Mrs.
T. J. Sehfert, and who will leave for ber
home in New York on Monday.'
The hall, which jvas just the size to
accommodate the number present and
make them feel perfectly at home, waa
prettily decorated In bunting, with
bouquets of snowballs scattered promis
cuously around, which, together with
the exiling len.onado furnished, nroba-
bly accounts for the fact that the warmth
of the evening was forgotten, for as soon
as Mrs. Varney was seated at tho piano
and the waltz began, all seemingly
danced with the same enthusiasm as ia
displayed in the coolest weather. '
When the evening was balf over, Mr.
Gorman, who acted as floor manager,
requested the gueBts to form for a grand
march, which, to their surprise, termin
ated in the cosiest little refreshment
room, lit with Chinese luoterns, which
shed such soft 'light that it seemed like
a fairy bower. There ice cream and
cake were served, and couples loitered
in conversation until the music again
enticed them..
The general verdict was that the hosts
and hostess proved themselves adepts in
the art of entertaining, and aside from
the regret felt at parting with Miss
W enner, who has made many friends
here, the guests considered it one of the
most enjoyable parties ever .given in
The Dalles.

His Hack Broken.
John M. Hamilton of San Francisco ia

broken back and partially paralyzed.
With his brother, George, be came into
town this morning on the brakebeam,
they being bound for Umatilla, where
they expected to change cars and take
the train for Spokane. Hearing the
name Umatilla House called, George
supposed they had arrived at Umatilla
and got off. His brother was riding the
rear brakebeam, and George . called to
bim to get off, which he attempted to
do, but before be could get out the train
started and he was caught by the brake
beam and doubled up in such a manner
that bis back was broken. He was un
able to rise, and was carried iuto the
Omatilla IlouBe, where bis injuries are.
being attended to. His condition has
improved somewhat today, one leg re
covering from the paralysis, but the
chances are against bis recovery. '
His brother, who is with him, saya
the injured man is a cook, and for a long
time had worked on the steamship
Colima, running from San Francisco to
Panama.

' Fnneral ot Mrs. linfeno.
The funeral of the late Mrs. William
Rufeno took place Sunday from the
Congregational church, Rev. W. C. Cur
tis conducting the services. The Degree
of Honor, Eastern Star and Relief Corps
were alf in attendance, marching from
their halls to the house, and thence to
the church. The body, enclosed' in a
white casket, was borne into the church
and was covered with white and delicate
pink floral tributes from sympathetic
and sorrowing friends. Rev. Curtis
spoke very feelingly, and there were few
dry eyes in the bouse when he paid a
fitting tribute to the worth of the dead.
Preceding the sermon the choir sang;
"Come onto Me when shadows darkly
fall,'' and following it "There is a home
eternal." The 'services at the grave
were . very brief, and when the mound
was heaped, it was covered with masses
of flowers, the silent farewells of loving;
friends.
Who Did the Bead Belong- toT
While a church is not the most re
markable place in the world to find
mysteries in, there is rather an unusual
one ia the Church of the Holy Trinity,
London. The mystery in Ibis church is ia
lite form of a human head preserved ia
a glass case, which has rested under the
pulpit for nobody knows how many
years. I he Kev. bamuel Kinns, one of
the ministers in charge, issued a mono
graph to prove that .the head was that
of the Duke of Suffolk, father of Lady
Jane Grey, who was beheaded in 1554
or shortly after bis daughter had met
with the same fate. It ia believed, how
ever, that the real identity of the head
w iH never be known beyond question. ,
