Remember tbe auction sale of Cbas,
Frazier's frnit ranch on Saturday, July
17th, at 1:30 p. m., In front of Bayard's
office, on Washington street.
Recorder Phelps has been very busy
the last few days winding np the year's

pleted the work and now baa tbe books

The excursion given by the Eegalator
company to Potland was well patron
. ized. The Regulator left this morning
a boot 6 o'clock with a full cargo of cele
brators, and arrived at Portland some
time before 12 o'clock.
Cbas. Frazier will sell his fine fruit
farm in Thompson's addition on Satur
' day, July 17th, at public auction, as
business of importance demands his at
tention in the East.
The potato crop will be a record
breaker in Gilliam this year, says tbe
Fossil Journal. Contrary to the usual
course of things, there was rain almost
throughout tbe mdnth of June, and the
"spuds" have profited by the moisture.
The highest daily bowling scores for
- last week are as follows : Monday, C.
N. Clark, 46; Tuesday, Mrs. Jadd Fish,
45; Wednesday, Judge Bradshaw, 51;

Among tboBe receiving appointments
to federal positions we note that of C.

It is seldom Dalles people get left, and
we are glad to note that Mr. Bice bas
come to tbe front.
The wool clip of Yakima county has

clips at North Yakima and four at Mab
ton, says Banch and Range. James
Bigham and T. H. Smith, of Yakima,
each sold last week 20,000 pounds of
to C. Carmicbael, for 7 cents.
Tbe 4th was rather a quiet day in The
Dalles. Tbe recorder only bad two D.
D.'s, one being fined $5 and tbe other
$10. A drunken sheepherder broke a
window in one of the saloon's, cutting
his wrist, so that it was necessary to call
in medical aid. At the present writing
he is resting easy.
At his farm, near Weston, during a
thunder shower recently, W. H. Pruett
tied a calf to tbe fence near his barn,
. and started for the house. He had
hardly gone fifty yards before a blinding
flash came, quickly followed by a peal of
thunder. The calf was found dead.

If you are buying children's and
misees low shoes, it will be of interest
for you to know that A. M. Williams &
Co. have put on their bargain counters
an assortment in sizes from Sl. to 2, at
75 cts. and $1. These same shoes in tan
and black Bold regularly at from $1.50 to

A party consisting of Mr. and Mrs. H.
W. French, Mr. E. M. Williams and
Miss Sampson left this city for Hood
River Saturday, and yesterday morning
were driven to Cloud Cap Inn. A tele
phone message from Mr. Williams this
morning informed bis friends that they
were enjoying a genuine snow storm.
A man confined in the city jail last
night jammed his band through the
window in his wild desire for freedom.
As the doctor sewed np the gashes made
by the broken glass, the prisoner's long
ing for tbe wild freedom of the hills van
ished, and be expressed a desire to enjoy
the home comforts of the jail instead.
The bowling alley at the Umatilla
House waB opened today, with a grand
galaxy of the leading lights of the city
present. Among those bowling tbe first
game were, Col. Sinnott, Judge Brad
shaw, M. A. Moody, I. J. Norman, Jadd
Fish and about a dozen others. The
boys who set np the pins were daisies,
but we are not going to give them away.
The alleys are fine, and will, no doubt,
receive an abundant patronage.
Dufur had a big time Saturday, doing
everything there was to do on the occa
sion of the nation's birthday and having
a barbecue besides. . Mr. N. J. Sinnott,
our talented young townsman, delivered
tbe oration, which those who heaid it
say was out of the usual line and was a
splendid effort. There was a big crowd,
and to say that everybody enjoyed them
selves is simply a repetition of tbe
statement that they spent the 4th in
Dufur.
Just to show that misfortunes never
come singly, the Garfield Enterprise
says that M. V. Butler, who lives four or
five miles east of Garfield, lost a milch
cow last week. She laid down and died.
In no very cheerful frame of mind, Mr.
Butler harnessed one horse and bitched
it to the cow to drag it away. When
he tried to start, the horse could not
pull it. Mr. Butler thought the horse
was grunting more than it was pulling,
so be picked np a stick and bit it a
wback. The horse reared and fell back
on the cow, dead.
Rettie & Patterson of Gilliam county
have squared np with The Dalles Na
tional bank, and did not lose a cent. In
fact, it seems they owed the bank a few
dollars, which they have paid, says the
Fossil Journal. They were agreeably
surprised at tbe state of affairs. They
had about $800 in tbe bank and owed the
bank $800, which they expected to have
to pay in full and take what they could
get of the $800 in deposit, but it appears
tbat there is a law which provides that
the one account shall offset the other.
John Dysart of Condon had a similar
experience to tbe extent of about $500,
and in like manner has not lost a single
cent. Oregonian.
The Dalles has been deserted for the
last few days, most of the people having
gone to Portland, while not a few have
taken advantage of the holiday to visit
Hood River, Bonneville and Dufur. We
have heard of one party tbat in

of this week.

tended returning yesterday afternoon,
but one of the party, who was sent to
hire the team, told Tom Ward that he
wanted a horse tbat would balk when
wanted, and Tom, who ib always accom
modating, supplied the neceesary article.
After spending a pleasant day up Mill
creek, tbe picnicers started home, when
the driver, who bad hired the horse,
gave tbe necessary jerk to the lines for a
balk, and forthwith the horse balked
That was very enjoyable and everyone
had a good laugh. After the fun had
died out the driver, following out Tom's
instructions aB ho thought, gave tbe
signal .to go ahead, but something
went wrong, either he forgot or the horse
did not stop npon tb order of going, but
refused to move. The team was on a
hill and every one in the wagon had to
get out and push, and puBh they did
until the top was reached, when it de
cided to go. They arrived home about
12 o'clock, and the young man says tbat
he will never ask for a balky horse
again.

Yesterday a very pretty canary bird
came to Dr. Eshelman's residence on

a pet canary, and the owner can have it
by calling upon Mrs. Eehelman.
Our soldier boys, who were in Port
land yesterday adding to tbe attractive
ness of the parade, came home on the 1
o'clock train this morning, somewhat
sunburned from their week's outing.
Tbe members of C company of Pendle
ton didn't know they were serenading
the editor Saturday night; but that
did not alter the fact that tbey were ar
tists in their line, or make their music
any less enjoyable.
Our citizens who were in Portland
yesterday report the parade as being un
usually good. As is customary on cele
bration days, it rained. However, the
clouds disappeared and gave tbe parade
a chance, the rain coming down as soon
as it was over'.
Lieutenant Marah of Wasco is in the
city today, stopping on his way home
from Portland. The company went
home last night. We just want to add
in this connection that at the review at
Hood River Lieutenant Marah looked
like a major-general.
As a sample of American snobbery, it
is stated that since tbe withdrawal of
Mr. and Mrs. G rover Cleveland from the
First Presbyterian church in Washing

ple who go to church to look at each

There was a lively runaway in the
East End this morning. A four-horse
team took a little trip of its own, start
ing from in front of E. J. Collins & Co.'s
and coming to a stop Back of J. T.
Peters place. The end of their run was
a woodshed, where horses, wagon and
everything else went crashing through
tbe timbers. The only occupant of the
shed was a hen, who was engaged in a
laudible effort to hatch a brood of young
ehicks. The timbers went smashing
around her, but she stuck to her job re
gardless of the ruin around her, and
never stirred from her nest, even when
the wreck was being collected.
The Oregonian gives the following re
cipe for losing a pound a day : A "man
about town" who has been living on the
fat of tbe land and doing nothing, found
himself taking on too much adipose tis
ane. Concluding there was no royal
road to getting rid of this incumbrance,
he struck out for the country, chopped
brush ten hours a day, and every even
ing bathed in the creek, and at tbe end
of eighteen days found he had reduced
his weight eighteen pounds. He slept
like a log, and was cured of snoring, and
has come back to town feeling like a new
man. To all who are overborned with
fat he says, "Go thou and do likewise."
It is safer, better and more effective than
anti-fat or any other nostrum.
THE GILMORE BAND.
The Dalles Gets Away With the Honors
and Lemonade.
One of the moat attractive features of
tbe great Fourth of July celebration at
Portland was our Dalles Indians, twenty
four of whom went down on the Regula
tor yesterday morning. Their chief was
Bill Gilmore, mayor of Grand Dalles.
Through the kindness of ex-sheriff, Tom
Ward, who kindly loaned him hia In
dian masquerade suit, Bill was enam
elled in the highest style of the art, be
ing a genuine incarnadine mostly red.
Tbey carried a banner, displaying the
colors of the Regulator line, and, of
course, bad the best of the display.
Thev were taken in small boats to the
Monterey and Monaduock and serenaded
tbe crews of those big war vessels.
It is said they were treated to lemonade
and cider, but that Bill was heard to re
mark in tbe purest Indian dialect tbat the
lush was thin." At the same time
the reception committee refused to pene
trate bis disguise, and save his life with
an offer of something more substantial.
It is said tbat these noble savages
etruck up those two weird Indian
chants, "We Won't Go Hon.e 'Till
Morning" and the "Cruieken Lawn,"
which they sang to the queen's taste
after they got tuned np.
'Indian Bill and his company are ex
pected home this evening. i

AT CAMP JACKSON.
Location mod
Gathering.
a Notable
lhe encampment at Hood River is
over. The boys in blue and brass but
tons have folded their tents and silently
stole away. Tbe white tents have van
ished, and with them have disappeared
the hopes and heads of many of Hood
River's fair aamsels. There is nothing
catches the female mind like a ejldier'a
uniform, with a soldier inside of it.
The encampment grounds were beauti
full located, and the whole affair was a
success from Bfart to finish. Saturday
evening Governor Lord visited the boys
and reviewed them.
At Hood River town, tbe G. A. R. had
a Big 24 -pounder cannon, and arranged
for giving the governor a salute of
twenty-one guns. The cannon was
planted in the old school house ground
ano when the governor arrived, Com
rade Hunt of the G. A. R. touched her
off. There was a flash and a reverbera
tion that made Mt. IJood tremble. The
gun was the only thing that kicked dur
ing the encampment.1 There was onlv
one shot fired, because it waa too ex
pensive, that shot breaking several of
the windows in tbe school house. At
Camp Jackson, though, there were no
windows 'to be broken, and the unns
belched forth a welcome to the "Commander-in-chief,"
that could be -heard
over half of Wasco county.
The camp proved a great attraction,
many visitors coming from The Dalles
and Portland,. while half of Hood River
valley turned out to see the boys.
Our reporter was handicapped by
knowing a good many of the officers, as
well as the high privates, and it was
only by an effort he could change the
greeting. Hello Billy," to "Ant Glad
to see you General." He wasn't "up"
iu epaulets, and so had to aim high,
realizing that to call a captain "general"
was all right, but to call a major "cap
tain," inexcusable.
The boys broke camn last night and
went to Portland this morning,, to take
part in the big parade there todav.
The encampment waa a grand success.
and gave tbe boys a taste of camp life
and discipline that will be of great bene
fit to them, and will develope a keener
interest in matters military.
Why Spain Has Failed' In Cubs.
General Weyler should have subdued
the rebellion within ninety days. No
unprejudiced military authority who has
studied the two forces, and made due al
lowance for the advantages possessed by
those who fight upon their native soil.
will . dissent from thia proposition.
There are Spanish generals in Cuba who
admit its truth. There are others who
have returned disgusted to Spain be
cause their suggestions of plans to end
the war were not allowed to be die-
closed at the Palace. A four months'
stay in Cuba, beginning in January and
ending with April of this year,, much ot
which time waa passed in observing tbe
forces in the field, has resulted in, the
conviction, on my part, that it has not
been the purpose of General Weyler to
end the rebellion. Conversations with
Spanish officers, from generals to cor
porals, showed that the same motives
that were evidently actuating tbe com
mander in allowing tbe war to drag
along were prompting a large proportion
of tbe staff and line in carrying out the
policy of their superior. The recital of
a few experiences, tbe description of
actual conditions, an explanation of
methods employed, and an account of
the poor result achieved where success
was possible, will prove this indictment.
If it be admitted tbat General Weyler
bas tbe slightest military ability, the
situation in Cuba today will, convict
him. Tbos. Gold Alvord, Jr., in the

The Floyd-Craig Maptlals.
Sunday evening after vespers at the
Catholic church, in the presence of a

Tbe bride is one of whom we all feel
proud, having been brought up in The
Dalles from her infancy. Possessed of
a charming disposition and a most envi
able character, she has boats of friends,
who, while extending to her their best

that she leaves The Dalles.
The bride and groom left on the 1

Hank Ladahoff came np from Cheno-
weth yesterday, and is in tbe city today. .
Now, to the general reader who does not
know Hank, this statement is devoid of
interest; but to the his othera who went
with him to McCoy creek in March,
1896, the name "Hank" will always be
remembered-. A couple of frying-pana,
united to his genius, kept life and con
tentment in that little party for forty
nine days. The boys kicked at the sur
roundings, at tbe enow, at the hills, but
never at the cook. Hank is simply a
dandy, and when from the poverty
stricken bill of fare he managed, on top
of fifteen feet of snow, to dish up dough
nuts, the boys all rose np with one ac
cord and voted him a leather medal ont
of Jim . Langille's boot top. Hank is
modeat and wouldn't take it, because
Ji.n did not have any boots, but we want
to say right now that for seven long
weeks camping on the snow Hank gave
ua fish on Friday and duff on Thursday,.
and tbat, too, with nothing but flour,.

Deafness Cannot be Cared
by local applications, aa 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 thia tube is in
flamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it ia-en-tirely
closed, Deafneea ia the result,. and
unless tbe inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, bearing will be destroyed-forever:
nine caws out of ten are- eaueed
by catarrh, which is nothing but an. in
flamed condition of the muooaa sur
faces. ,
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case ofi Deafneas (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars; free..
