A marriase license was today issued
to Victor Doynes and Miss Emma Cries,
both of Wapaoitia, Oregon.
Mrs. Frank Fulton, of Sherman county,
. underwent a'very critical yet successful
. operation at St. Vincents ' Hospital,
Portland, on Thursday. The operation
was performed by Dr. Byron E. Miller,
of Portland, and Dr. Esbelman, of this
place.
' William Mansfield ' and bride arrived
, on the delayed train from Portland this
morning. After their marriage at Cos
mopolis, Wash., they went to Tacoma,
where they visited Mr. Mansfield's rela
tives and then to Seattle, where they
made a short stay. Billy's friends all
gave bim a hearty welcome home this
morning, and at present think seriously
of giving him a genuine charivari.
Last night while the bar-tender in the
Columbia hotel was attending to some
thing in one of the back rooms of the
hotel, he heard the bell of the till ring,
, and on coming into the bar-room, found
that a man was trying to open it. He
saw the bar-tender coming and attempt
ed to escape, but before he reached the
door the bar-tender . caught, him and
turned him over to Night-watchman
Wiley, who lodged him in jail, where
be awaits an examination. .
The Annual Conference of the United

year also meets at Dafur on October 16
and 17. Pentecostal services on Mon
day, Tuesday and Wednesday preceed
ing annual conference at U. B. Church.
The reporter strolled up to the race
track yesterday and was surprised at the
preparations which are already made
for the coming fair. The track is in as
good, if not better, shape than it ever
wes, and as it is being worked and
sprinkled daily, it will be still better by
the time the fair commences. Stables
and pens are also in readiness for stock,
and in fact there is little left for the com
mittee to do. Suretto, Mamie D, Jim
Crow and Princess are kopt at the
grounds, while a number of other horses
are kept in town and are brought to the
track ' daily for training. Most of the
horses from Salem will not arrive be
fore Monday, as the state fair does not
close until tonight.
' A bold tramp entered the residence of
Mr. Ed. Harman yesterday evening and
demanded something to eat. Mrs. Har
man, who was getting supper, stated
. that she bad nothing ready which she
could give him. He then undertook to
. help himself to everything in sight.
After taking what he wanted, he left the
bouse, and although the officers made a
diligent search they could not find bim.
He is described as being about 18 years
old, medium height, smooth faced, and
wore a reddish brown bat, dark coat and
vest and light trousers. Mrs. Harman
was terribly frightened, and is ill this
morning In consequence. This was an
unusually daring act for a tramp to per
petrate in daylight, and the offender
should be sought out and taught an ob
ject lesson that will cure him of such
pranks.
Monday' Daily.
Rev. A. Bronsgeest has changed his
plans, and will hold services in thiB city
as nsual next(Sunday, instead of, else
' where.'
Pools for the races will be sold at the
Umatilla house every evening daring the
week. Mr. William Ayera will have
charge of the pool box. ;. . -j
' : The trains were late again this morn
ing. The overland did not arrive nntil
8 :00, while the Spokane ; train was also
behind a couple of hours. -'--.
Dr. W. A. Wise, of Portland, who is a
first-class dentist every sense of the
word, is coming up on the local this
evening to assist Dr. Frazior for a few
weeks.' - .'. ' . . f V "- '
John Hayes, who attempted ' to rob
the till in the Columbia Hotel bar a few
nights since, had a hearing in the jus
tice court today and was bound over to
appear before the grand jury. . "
Three drunks were taken before the
City Recorder this morning.' Two were
fined $10.00 and the other $5.00. - In de
fault of the necessary amount they will
have to sojourn in the city jail for a
time. ;
At present the police are very diligent
ly watching all the trains coming into
the city for questionable characters, and
when ever they arrive then are immedi
atalv notified to move on to the next
station. "'.;-.
, Yesterday's Salem Statesman says
that Mr. Ed Hostetler of that city left
for The Dalles to accept position in
French & Co.'s bank. Mr. Hostetler is
a brother of J. C. Hostetler, cashier of
the bank.
The bowling score for the week ending
Sunday night at the Umatilla House
allev was as follows: Monday, Maetz,
63: Tuesday, Kurtz,. 56; Wednesday,
Nicholas. 51: Thursday, Cbas. Frank,
56; Friday, Fred Houghton, 55 ; Satur
day, Maetz, 53 ; Sunday, Kurtz! 55.
.. The stage setting for the ship Pinafore
was under the direction of Mr. Ernest
Jensen, whose knowledge in that direc
tion and unflaguing interest in every'
thinir that is for a nood cause, added
greatly to the euccess of the opera. ' '
Commencing Wednebday noon, Oct,
13th, the ladies of the Christian Church
will serve meals in the vacant store
building next to the U. S. Land Office.
Don't fail to patronize them. The bill
of fare will be the . very best and the
charges reasonable, '. ' - .
Deputy U. S. Prosecuting Attorney
C. J. Schnable, paseed through this city
on this morning's train. He has been
in Pend'.etoo trying the case of the man
who robbed the post-office at that place.
The culprit was bound over to appear
before the U. S. Grand Jnry.V, Mr.
Schnable is the person about whom a
question exists at present as to whether
or not he is a civil service officer.
Last night a daring' foot-pad entered
the house of Mr. Emit Schanno, in the
west end, by removing the screen from
one of the windows, and helped himself
to all the good things that the pantry
contained. He then took a coat and
vest of Mr. Schanno's and went away
satisfied. As yet nothing else of value
has been missed, and as it appears that
there are always a number' of such dep
ridations committed about fair time
there should be a good force of extra
police put on at once.
The following horses are at present at
the fair grounds : Endicott and La Fon
taine's horses, Gust and Jim Corbett :
Jim Crow, Snrretta and Mamie D., be
longing to Andy Allen ; A. . Neal's
horses, Harry N., Pat Tucker and Latah ;
J. L. Cook's, New Moon; J. R. Thomas
has Allicia and Sallie Goodwin ; I C.
Sharp has Black Alder, Raindrop and
Endymion. : More horses will be up on
tonight's boats and trains. . The num
ber, as well as the class of - horses
here for the fair, go to prove that the
speed program will be hard to beat, and
anyone interested in . racing would act
foolishly in overlooking a single day of
the 8 port.
Tuesday's Daily. v
Mr. F. C. Clausen of Dufur was in the
city yesterday.
Today the lone took one of the largest
cargoes away from The Dalles that it
has carried since going on the upper
river. : , -
Will trade a bran new '97 bicycle for
hay or a buggy. Address R. W. French,
The Dalles, or call on Haworth, the job
printer.
The old awning in front of the Elite
Millinery Parlors has been torn way and
the front of the building repaired so to
improve its appearance considerably. ' .
Do not miss the beautiful music the
interesting illustrated lecture and the
Btereopticon views from Alaska at the
Vogt opera house tonight. There will
also be a fine display of exhibits.
Licenses to wed were issued yesterday
to the following persons :. Mr. 8. Rich
ardson and Miss E. B. Hyre; Edward
W. Berth and Annie V. Burdeck, and
Mr. Samnel Wilkinson and Miss Martha
A. Bobbins. 1 ' "
Teamsters report that the roads be
tween this place and Dafur are at ' pres
ent almost impassible and are getting
worse daily on account - of tbe large
amount of hauling that is being done
over them at present. ......
Next Friday the public schools of the
city will close, and probability is that
all the business-houses will do tbe same.
The band will be at the grounds on that
afternoon, and in all probability it will
be the gala day of tbe fair. -
The following horses came np on the
Regulator last night : . Meteor, belong
ing lo Mr. Miller Mr. Steward's Allen
S, ; J. Soyer's Deceiyer ; J. Philly's Joe
D. ; D. Schilling's Pathmount and Ice
land W., and J. Kirkland's Island Boy.
W. D. Frazee of Oceanside, Calif.,
will thiB evening deliver a free illus
trated lecture at the Christian church.
His subject will be "Tbe Divinity of the
Bible Shown by the Fulfillment of
Prophecy According to Infidel Xesti
raony." ';,' i . V" .
Yesterday W. Gschwendner was hav
ing a good natured wrestle with someone
In Skibbe's barroom. "He tripped and
fell in such a way as to break the bones
in his right arm between the wrist and
elbow. Dr. Hollister was called and re
duced tbe fracture, and at present he is
doing as well as could be expected. .
This morning Mr. Whealdon received
a large American flag, which was be
queathed to him by tbe will of the sister
of Linas Hubbard, a kindly old gentle
man who used to reside in The Dalles L
several years ago, and who was one of
Mr Whealdon'a warmest friends. It
was one of the stipulations of the will
that the flag be sent to Mr. Whealdon,
and it arriyed this morning. That he
appreciates this last remembrance of bis
old friend very highly, is needless to say.
There is one thing certain ' and that is
that something should be done for the
roads on this side of the river as well as
on the Washington side, and it lies in
the hands of tbe citizens of this town
and the surrounding country to decide
as to what they want done,, and the
sooner decided the better for Tbe Dalles
and vicinity. - -A
large crowd attended the repetition
of V Pinafore" last night, and several ex
pressed the opinion that, if possible,
the rendition was better than on Satur
day night.' The ladieB of the Guild will
realize about $175 as the net proceeds,
and are delighted with the euccess of
the venture. , At the close of the opera
refreshments were served bytbe ladies
to those taking part, and a general good
time was had..
Last evening Fern Lodge, D. of H.,
gave a farewell party to Mr. and Mrs.
George Gibbons. Refreshments were
served and toasts were offered and re
sponded to by J. F. -Moore, J. A.
Douthit and Dr. Lannerberg, To say 1
that a good time was had by all , present
is scarcely necessary as the Degree sel
dom has anything else but good times
at their social meetings. Mr. and Mrs.
Gibbons will leave in a few days for
their farm on the Sandy, near Portland
at which place they will make their fa
tare home. - '.''.
Tbe farm residence of James Patterson,
two miles east of Elgin, was totally de
stroyed by fire about 11 o'clock Sunday
No one was at home at the time but
Mrs. Patterson, and when neighbors ar
rived on tbe scene, she informed them
that she had purposely set .fire to the
buiding, says the Record. She started
for the river, with the avowed purpose
of drowning herself, but was restrained
by neighbors. It is supposed that over
work and domestic traublea had mantal-
ly deranged her for the time being.
An example of rapid increase in cattle
is furnished by G. L. Reese, a prosper
ous farmer who lives near Albany. He
sold last Friday for $35 a cow and calf,
the mother being se'ven-eigbtbs Jersey.
The cow is now not quito 3 years old,
but she is a record-breaker as a money
maker. She was a grandmother when
27 months old. She has presented her
owner with three fine calves, the oldest
of which with her calf be sold for $40.
The second calf he sold for $25 and now
tbe cow witb the third calf by her side
he sold for $35, . making a net total of
$100, saying nothing of the milk and
butter produced.
Near ' Haines, in Baker county, last
Thursday, two men on horseback ran a
race down the road at breakneck speed,
and two men walking in the same di
rection the horses were coming, and un
conscious of the danger in their wake,
were run over. The result was a gen
eral piling up of all concerned in a heap;
After tbe dust cleared a way, it was found
that one of the horsemen, a young man
by the name of Toney, had sustained an
injury to to bis head of such a serious
nature that the physician called to at
tend him had grave doubts about his
recovery. A leg of one of the footmen
was broken. -v
Efforts are being made to secure a par
don for George F. McConnell, formerly
of Ashland, who was sentenced about
a year ago to the Oregon penitentiary
for embezzlement of funds belonging t,o
the Grand Lodge Knights of Pythias of
Oregon, while he was' holding the office
of Keeper of Records and Seals, In Port
land. McConneli's record during a ten
years' residence in Ashland was a very
clean one, and there are said to be ex
tenuating circumstances connected with
bis crime. . He was sentenced to three
years' penal servitude and was fortnnate
in being made a "trusty" in the peni
tentiary at Salem, which will reduce his
time one-half, making bis term expire
about August of the coming year. The
efforts at securing a pardon are with
the intention of restoring ' bim to citi
zenship when his liberation takes place.
A Farewell Party.
A farewell party was -given Eddy
Michell last night at the residence of
Mr. Edward Beck by the young people
with whom he has associated while in
The Dalles. Logomachy was the game
of the evening, and a very enjoyable
evening-was spent, barring the thought
that one of their number was soon to
leave tbem, as Ed goes to Portland to
morrow to accept a position with ' Peas
lee Bros., printers, of that city.
Lunch was served later in the evening,
and soon they were saying good-bye and
bidding Ed God speed, after which they
sought their respective homes.
' Those present were: Misses Hilda
Beck, Lolah Ewbank, Nelle Sylvester,
Elizabeth Schooling, Edythe Randall
and Ethel Deming, Messrs. Freas Saun
ders, Melvin Murcbie, Ed Hill, Frank
Wood, H, Parkins, Carey Jenkins and
C. O. Bunker. '

H. M. S. PINAFORE.
A Successfal Rendition of tile Opera
Jl7 Home Talent.
Our home talent demonstrated the
fact that they are proficient in operatic
as well dramatic work when they ap
peared at the Vogt Saturday night and
so euc-esstully rendered a beautiful
opera. , l he good ship "i"inatore" ar
rived, and if ever a crew of tars deserved
admiration the "Pinafore's" did, and
they certainly got a sufficiency of praise
from every member of tbe delighted au
dience. ' ' ' v ; -
Mr. J. F. ' Hampshire as "Sir Joseph
Porter," acted bis part from beginning
to end so ably, and was so well adapted
to it, that one could ecarce believe be
could be tiny one other than Sir Joseph
himself. .
."Captain Corcoran" was personated
by Cbas. C. Clarke and both his sing
ing and acting proved that the young
man has talent and ability for both.
His voice is particularly , sweet, and
delighted all. V.
Miss Myrtle ' Michell : personated
"Ralph Rackatraw," the successful sui
tor, to perfection, in Bpiteof the fact
that she had to play tbe part of a man.
Her acting through the entire perform
ancewas"perfect, whileher Singing was
beautiful in the extreme. ! . - .' '
. Miss De Forest as "Josephine" did
able work, and in view of the fact that
she has scarcely ever taken part in any
thing of tbe kind -before, we must eay
that she did remarkably well Tbe only
proof that anyone could desire of what a
beautiful voice she has would be to have
heard her. ' ; ' ' ' - ;
.:. Miss Rose Michell as "Little Butter
cup," labored " under a great disadvan
tage on account of a severe cold and sore
throat. It seems impossible, however, for
Rose to make a failure on the stage, and
her attempt Saturday night far from be-,
ing one, was a flattering success.1
'Mrs. Varney acted the- character of
"Cousin Hebe" in a way that could not
be improved upon, and we consider it a
tribute to her work to say, with all who
saw faei, that she did "simply fine." - --'
Arthur - Clarke's ' conception of the
character "Dick Deadeye," . which he
represented, could not haye been better.
His make-up was good, and to add still
more to tbe effect, his strong, rich voice
was admirably adapted to his part.
The part of the Boatswain was well
acted by John Hartnett, who gave suffi
cient proof that he can make his mark
in' an opera as well as in ballad singing.
.The choruses although difficult, were
executed remarkably well. In fact each
and every one who took part have the
best of reasons for feeling proud of hav
ing succeeded in putting an opera on in
such an able manner ; as has also Mrs.
De Forest, to whose able training a great
deal of credit is due. Miss' Lang, as ac
companiest, aided the singers greatly, and
each one who took part depended on
her as sure support. , ,
DISASTROUS FIRE AT PORTLAND.
Destruction of Zimmerman's
. House Friday. -
racking
The Zimmerman packing house on
tbe Macadam road near Portland, was
destroyed by fire between 12 and 1
o'clock Friday morning. Owing to
the distance from the center of the city,
the fire department did not reach the
scene until the building was nearly all
in flames and beyond saving anything
but a small portion. ' '
The fire originated in the boneroom
near the engine-room, but how it started
is a mystery. An alarm was turned in
from box 73 by William Porter, an em
ploye in Powers' furniture department,
which brought out engines' 4 and 5,
truck 2 and hose 2.
Tbe capacity of this plant was about
300 head of hogs daily, 50 head of cat
tle and 200 head of sheep.: It was fur
nished with a fine engine, boilers and
cold-storage apparatus. The original
plaat was Valued at $50,000, and last
spring Mr. Zimmerman pot in about
$8000 worth of improvements, including
some fine refrigerator machinery.. Tbe
establishment , was. built only a little
over a year ago. L. Zimmerman is the
principal stockholder and manager. The
packing house was running at full force,
and employed over a dozen men. The
total loss will foot np over $85,000.
Body Found In the Columbia
Hood River.
Near
The body of an unknown man was
found floating in the river near Hood
River last Thursday. .The marks about
his bead and face would indicate that he
had been murdered. Coroner Butts was
called and the following was tbe verdict
rendered by the jury : .. -
Hood Kiver, Oregon, Oct. 8, 1897.
The undersigned, em panneled hy W.
H. Butts, coroner of Wasco Coanty, Or
egon, as a jury to enquire into the cause
of the death of an unknown person
whoee body is now before cs, after hav
ing heard tbe testimony of the witnesses
sworn at this inquest, find as follows :
That the body of said deceased was
found in the Columbia river, three miles
west of Hood River, Oregon, in Wasco
Countv, on Thursday, October 7, 1897. :
We find that the deceased probably
came to his death by an act of violence
administered by- some person at this
time unknown to ub, and base this con
clusion trom the fact that there are
plain indications of severe wounds upon
the face and head of said deceased.
This verdict is father sustained by the
fact that bis pockets have been rifled by
some party by cutting with a knife or
some ither sharp instrument. Deceased
was probably German and about , fifty-
five or sixty years of age ; five feet ten
inches is height and weight about one
hundred and eighty pounds. . Respecta

good woolen socks; heavy leather boots;

The neighborhood of Minnehaha,

erably excited over an elopement which

ties to the elopement were Will Hull, a
private of the Fourteenth infantry, and
Mrs Carson, wife of Manfred Carson.
Hull and Mrs. Carson left Vancouver
Tuesday morningjon the steamer Dalles

refused. Mr. Carson . was away from
home at the time of tbe elopement. : He
Baid he would not follow the couple.
' They arrived here Tuesday evening,
and Wednesday morning endeavored to

as to engage the Edward Shields Com
pany to give an illustrated concert, in -connection
with the Birgfeld orchestra,
