There were two boys and two drums
in the alley back of the Commercial
Club rooms this morning that deserve
praise for the consideration shown their
parents. Had they beaten those drums
within half a block of home, their moth

lime. Filial affection is a noble trait,
and one we will continue to admire even
though it kills us.
The work begun by Mrs.L. M. Miller,
of Eugene, the publishing of an Oregon
magazine, devoted to Western literature
and the preservation of Indian tradition
and historical data, is meeting with
more than the anticipated success, and
she has decided to issue the publication
at Portland instead of Eugene, says the
Guard. The first issue will probably be
out about September 15.
- The Dalles this year has maintained
its reputation of being tbe best wool
market on the coast. Yesterday a very
large number of sales were made, but so
quietly it is impossible to correctly es
timate the amonnt. It is certain though
that the sales cut a large slice off tbe
available supply in the warehouses.
Prices ranged from 9 to 11)4 cents, this
being from a cent to a cent and a half
above prices at other Eastern Oregon
points, and there was but little sold
under 10 cents.
A dusky maiden of the forest was be
fore his honor, the "city recorder, this
morning charged with being drunk and
disorderly. As the city recorder has not
been in office long enough to become
bard-hearted, he gave her the benefit of
tbe doubt as to whether it was all the
spirit of the white man, or part the
spirit of her fathers, and fined her $5.
A she was locked up she said some
thing in her native' tongue, which was
probably a reflection on the city jail.
Translated it might have run : "Stone
walls do, not a prison make, nor iron
bars a cage."

The city recorder is doing business
with the expressmen today, most . of
them applying for a renewal of their
licenses.

Sumpter News. ' :
W. S. Byers, of the Pendleton flouring
mills, entered into a contract to deliver
15,000 barrels oi flour for shipment to
Japan. He had the option of tarnishing
25,000 barrels more, but as it was re
quired earlier than this mill could turn
it out, he had to refuse the order. Per
haps no one in Pendleton has felt the
improved condition in business more
than Mr. Byers, says the Tribune.
Whereas last year be was often obliged
to turn out orders at a loss in order to
keep tbe mill running, this year be has
repeatedly been compelled to refuse or
ders. Moreover his business has been
eo steady and remunerative during the
present year that he has been able to in
crease the salaries of bis employes.

Sumpter reminds one of tbe good bid
mining camp days. On a recent visit
there the writer saw a game of poker
going on in a saloon where there were
not less than $800 on the table, and It
was a three-handed game, too. The
Sumpter News mentions the fact that
this same saloon took in on tne 5th ot
July $1010. '-,

D. C. Ireland, tbe genial editor of the
Moro Observer, came in from Sherman
county on tbe train and went to Port
land on the Dalles City this morning.
He says everything looks prosperous in
Sherman, and that the wheat crop is
something really wonderful. He insists
that there are fields that will yield
sixty bushels to the acre.
Mr. Landers telephoned in from A. SJL

" The passengers on a Chester trolley
car were very much amused yesterday
by a conversation between two colored
men, one ot whom was a deacon in a
down-town church. He introduced the
surged of a new fence around a grave
yard, and asked his companion, who had
more worldly inclinations, for a contri
butlon for tbat purpose. His reply was :
"What yo' want a fence 'round dat
graveyard fo'? Live pussons doan' want
to git in, and I'm doggone sure de dead
ones ain't a-gwine to try an' git out. I
ain't got no money fob graveyard
fences." And the argument was clinched
right there. Philadelphia Record.

Yesterday afternoon a lot of small

out it is certain she knows more about
that enamel then either the night, clerk
or porter. The stuff Is. remarkably
sticky, turpentine or alcohol being re.
quired 'to remove it, once it gets a grasp
on you. The hot water evidently had a
tendency to heighten the agglutinating
qualities of the stuff and it was equally
evident that the bather did not know
anything about it until she entered the
tub. It wasn't necessary that , she
should, for she was thoroughly informed
before she got out. Tbe circimstantial
evidence tells an eloquent tale. On the
foot of the tub are prints showing where
first one foot and then the other was
placed againt it to pull, the other loose.
Oh the incline at the bead is-' jiist one
mark where the fair bather's bead first
struck, and the long tresses still clinging
told of the.desperate yank that freed her
hair , from the grasp of that , deuced
enamel. . There were marks on the sides

that by tbe time the bather got out she

out as enon to get rid ot tbe stuff was

A QUIET WEDDING.
George Aleck, Not Yet of Age,
for the Third Time.
Marries
There was a quiet wedding in the sher
iff's office this morning, the high con
tracting parties being Mr. George Aleck
and Mies Nellie Argoi, both of Hood
River. Justice Filloon performed the
ceremony in the presence of the county
officials, Clerk Keleay, Deputy Bolton,
Deputy Sheriff Kelley, Janitor FitzGer
ald, and J. M. Huntington. : We are
told that Mr. FitzGerald, upon the con
clusion of the ceremony, stepped for
ward and said : "A custom has been es
tablished at the Umatilla House by Col.
Sinnott, tbat all brides married there
shall be first saluted by him as senior
partner of the firm. It is a pretty cus
tom, and one that should become gen
eral. As the oldest and best looking
man in the courthouse the pleasant task
has been delegated to me." And then
he put tbe tips of the fingers of bis left
bandSnnder her chin, lifted it gently to
an angle of 60 degrees, and with a le
gato movement imprinted the court
house seal upon her lips. Mr. FitzGer
ald denies this, but insists that he tried
to get tbe boys to delegate him, bat they
refused; and as they could not agree.
each of them performed bis share of the
osculation.
Tbe groom is the eon of Joseph Aleck,
who carries the mail from Hood River to
White Salmon, and who is a full-blood
Indian. So is tbe groom ; but tbe bride
is apparently only a half-blood. George-
is only 20 years old, yet has made an
enviable record in the marital line,, this
being his third venture. His other
wives left him one at a time (he had
both at once), so this time he concluded
to see if. the white man's ceremony
would tie the third Mrs. Aleck any more
firmly to him. We fear his confidence
and bis money have been misplaced, bat
at any rate this one to marry again le
gally will have to tackle the divorce
courts. .
George is sporty, gambles and drinks,.
has kleptomania and other things,, and
the fature of the bride of today seems to
ns at least far from roseate.

- There was a crowd of aboutf 860 or TOO
people at the depot at 12:30tbjmoreing
for the purpose of seeing and hearing
the Hon. W.J. Bryan. If was- a ffood
natured crowd, each anxious to see the
great American advocate of the double
standard, and hoping and expecting: to
hear him speak. When the train came
to a stop tbe crowd gathered arouo the
rear platform, and Mr. Bryan stepped
out. In tbe gloom it was at first almost
impossible to recognize him, anil F. A.
E. Starr, who accom panied him, stepped
out and said: "Gentlemen, this is-Mr.
Bryan." Then be received an ovation.
He did not speak, explaining that- he
was worn out and could not do so, bttt
bis remarks were heartily cheered,, and
everybody pressed forward to shake- hie
baud. He looked tired, sleepy and wort
out, and it was really asking a great deal1
in routing him out of his bed at that
time, especially wben it is remembered -that
he had made five speeches the day
before, talking 8 hours. As tbe train
pulled out he was given a hearty parting
cheer, and the visit of Brvan to -The
Dalles was over.
Yesterday's Kioarilon.
The excursion yesterday was not the
success financially that it should' have
been, tbe receipts but little rr.ore than
covering tbe expenses. The accounts
have not yet been balanced, but tbe net
returns will not exceed $15. .'...,
Otherwise it was one of tbe most de
lightful affairs of the kind ever origin
ated in The Dalles. The day was beau
tiful, and with only 115 passengers thoee
who went had plenty of room.. The
boat arrived at Multnomah falls at10:4&
and left at 2 :15, and the three and a
half boars up under the cool falls were
all too short.
The band accompanied the excursion
and furnished delightful music, as-it al
ways does.
Captain Waud and several others
climbed the cliff to tbe top of tbe falls,,
and announced their arrival at the top
by throwing their hatsover.
The good old Regulator, with flags fly
ing- and band playing, arrived at ber
wharf at 7:15, and was met by nearly
everyone in town, who . went down to-
welcome the excursionists home. ' .
Tbe members of the hose team, worked
hard, and it is too bad that their- effort'
were not crowned with a greater reward.

Considering that the institute will be
in session one month and that oaoet of
those already registered are from The
Dalles, the, outlook for a full, attendance
is encouraging. About eighty-four
teachers were enrolled last year, and
this number is likely to reaob that mark
inside of the neit two weeks.
The teachers will be pleased to have
parents and others attend as visitors at
any hour. The general discussion hour
at 1 :30 is always interesting, and tomor
row Mr. Gavin leads in the subject of
"Preparation of the Teacher."
A Swift beqol.
Yesterday we noted tbat George Aleck
was married, we alsb stated that George
bad kleptomania and other things as.
bad. Now it seems that onr diagnosis
of George's qualities-was eminently cor
rect, fur though yesterday was April-fool
day for him, and a blushing bride as
Virgil puts it, petulnl tvtla, he could not
it seems, resist bis inclination to com
bine business witu pleasure, and he is
charged with having stolen five pistols,
revolvers, rlffed-cannon, gatling guns or
something of that kind . from Arbuckle,
who keeps the second-hand store. This
morning Arbuckle missed bis arsenal
aud re nvetu.be Fed tbat George bad been
around yesterday trying to buy them.
This coupled with George's repatation
caused suspicion to fall on him, and
Depnty Sheriff Olinger, of Hood River
was telephoned to, to arrest him, which
was probably done today. It may be
possible tbat George is innocent, or at
least tbat the stolen property may not
be fouBd and the proof lacking, but it is
quite likely that George will again lan
guish in tbe county jail next door to tbe
room where only ye,teiday he took unto.
