Mr. M. J. Anderson -is ia
from Dufur.
Ernest Jacobsen returned home laBt
night from a business trip in Grant
connty. .-
But four applicants for teaehere' cer
tificates are attending the quarterly ex
f ' amination, which began today.
The case of the state against Millard
commenced yesterdiiy is still on trial,
bat will piobably be conclqded tonight.
The regular monthly meeting ot tbe
Endeavor society of the Christian cbnrch
is called for tonight. All members are
requested to take notice and be in at
tendance. It was rumored yesterday that -Mr. E.
Jacobsen bad been recommended by the
delegations for the positon of postmas
ter of Tbe Dalles. Tbe rumor does not
seem to have anything tangible behind
it, though it may be true. Mr. Jacob
sen stated to our reporter tbat he had
heard nothing whatever about it.
The case of O. Cedarson, adminis
trator, against tbe U. K. s JS. was up
at the noon hour today for arrgument of
the motion to have the complaint made
more definite. Attorney Minor of Port
land appeared for the O. R. & N., and
Judge Bennett appeared for the plain
tiff. The case grows ont of the killing
of Cedarson near Seufert'a last spring.
McCarthy & McConllogb, of the Linn
ton horse cannery, were in Pasco recent
ly, after horses, says the Pasco News.
. They say they want all of Franklin coun
ty's horses, for which they pay $2.50 per
bead. They will probably ship five or
six more trainloads daring the next few
. week?. Two dollars and a half is not
. very much for a horse, but they take
everything as it comes, and in this way
. the owners are satisfied to sell. -
Dr. J. C, Wightman, of Branch port,
K. Y., has lately presented to WLitman
college in Walla Walla, a lock of Dr.
Marcus Whitman's hair. - The hair is
brown in color, showing no trace of
. gray. It was given by Dr. Whitman to
; his sister, Mrs. Alice Wisewell, of Bash-
" ville, N. Y., on his last visit to the states
in 1843. The hair will be framed and
, given a position in the ' college chapel
alongside of a lock of Mrs. Whitman's
hair, presented to the college last year.
In asking for aiew trial for his client,
William Wicoff, who was recently con
victed in Colfax, Attorney J. T, Brown
.. presented an affidavit - signed by Robert
.. McNealy, one of the jurors who tried
Wicoff, in which he says that be was
wholly influenced to return a verdict of
gnilty by the speech of Prosecuting At
torney Matthews, and that the reference
of the prosecuting attorney to the assault
on Mrs. Sogers, at Garfield had great
influence upon him, and was largely re
sponsible for the verdict of guilty.
Brilliant bnt innate .stage pictures are
promised us on the appearance of Jnle
Walthers in his merry comedy "Side
Tracked," at the Vogt, Monday Novem
ber loth. Mr. Walthers is so well known
to theater goers as the gentleman tramp,
that he hardly needs an introduction.
His natural method of portraying the
wandering Willie has made him world
famous, and his play, "Side Tracked,"
lives because ot Mr. Walters' genius and
originality. During tbe action of the
play some high-class vaudeville features
will be furnished.
Word was received this morning that
Neddy Briggs, son of Mr. and Mrs.- S, P.
M. Briggs of this city, is in a critical
condition. About a week ago Mrs.
Briggs took the little fellow, who was
suffering from , inflammatory rheuma
tism, to the home of her mother in Che
halie, Wash., hoping that the climatic
change would improve him. He grew
better for a few days after bis arrival
there, brut afterwards began to grow
worse, and although the best physicians
that could be secured are attending him,
they pronounce his chances very poor,
as the rheumatism has shifted to tbe vi
cinity of his heart, and inflammation
has set in in that organ. "
A few weeks ago one the most extra
ordinary fish ever known . came to light
in Devonshire. It was a chub found in
a muddy pool, and certainly it was as
hideous a thing as one could imagine.
It was imprisoned in a sort of cage
formed of the roots of an elm tree which
projected under the water, and it had
evidently wormed its way into the pris
on when quite small. Being unable to
find its way out, it was forced to trow
in the shape of tbe cage, instead of the
natural form tbat all chubs should take.
With no room to develop 'this fishes'
tail had disappeared altogether, save for
a little deformed stump that had wedged
its way between the roots of the tree.
The back fin had also vanished for there
was no room for it to grow in. The
whole body of the luckless chub was
distorted and it bad grown into the
gnarled and twisted form of tbe root
cage. Tbe scales were encrusted with
mud and arranged in layers like roof
slates. It is a puzzle to immagine how
tbe fish fed and lived daring its growing
years in that watery prieion, and what
it done when times were hard and no
food came by. It seemed contented
enough and was certainly healthy end
strong, in spite of its distorted shape.
Thursday's Daily.
Licences to wed have been issued to
Henry E. Goodrich and Milla R. Blanck
and to Frank J. Ward and Noamah
Smith. .
The programs for tbe Circle ball, to
be given Friday, November 19tb, in the
Vogt, are said, by those who have
seen them, to be unique and beautiful.
The trial of Jones, arrested with Mar
shal who skipped, before Justice Filloon
yesterday afternoon, resulted in bis dis
charge, there being no evidence against
him. " . .
- Pneumonia is thinina out the siwash
population along the Okanogan river, on
the Col ville reservation. Six or seven
Indians have died of tbe disease recent
ly, and others are doomed with it, and
are not expected to recover.
The grand jury today 'returned true
bills against E. Simmons, Hugh Brown
and Robert Wilson, charged with as
sault and battery upon Geo Rea, and
against I. V. Howland for larceny by
bailee in etealing wheat from J. L
Story.
Under the city charter the Seattle
council had until Monday to elect a sue
cessor to Mayor Wood. Hereafter it
must meet once a day until it has agreed
upon Wood's successor. The three
prominent candidates for the office are
T. J. Humes, H. R. Cliee and J. M. E.
Atkinson.
Those who have received invitations
to the Circle ball on Friday evening.
November 19tb, please bear in mind it
is to be held in the Vogt. No expense
has been spared to maktr this the ball of
the season. The Circle never does any
thing by halves, and its guests are in
sured a pleasant evening.
Tbe finishing touches are being put on
the Commercial rooms,' and they are
certainlv as fine as anv in the North
west. As soon aa everything is finished
and the tout ensemble is in place, a spe
cial reporter will be detailed to write a
description of the club's new home.
Until then any attempt to do the sub
ject justice would fail.

erly pastor of the First Congregational
church of Tacoma, being tbe principal
speaker.
' The case of C. E. Bayard, administra
tor, against the (standard Oil Co. is up
for trial today, and most of the after
noon was taken up in securing a jury.
The rase involves some nice questions of
law, and with Judge Bennett on one side
and Cake and Fenton on tbe other, it
promises to be a battle royal. The ac
tion is brought to recover damages for
tbe death of Perry Watkins, who was
killed .by bis bors9 running away.
Plaintiffs allege that the horse became
frightened at the oil tank put up near
the road and tnat.it caused tbe accident.
Tbe Degree of Honor had a social
time last night after regular lodge work.
The committee on amusement bad pro
vided a guessing contest, and tbe editor
of this paper.i? pleased to state tbat he
waikt-d off with the booby prize. He
has been guessing what position the Or-
egomau would take next so long tbat
his gueseer has slipped a cog, broke its
main epring, and Is generally all broke
up. The prize consisted of a rubber
ddfl that whistled through a bole in its
head when squeezed, another point of
similarity with the results in that other
guessing contest. ;
Ira Millard has been found guilty aa
charged, and be was . charged with in
decency. 'He will be sentenced tomor
row, but as be has already been in ' jail
four months, bis sentence will undoubt
edly be light. Of course offenses against
tbe law must ,ba punished, and yet it
does look . as though it could be man.
i aged with lees expense, and it certainly
could be if justices of the peace should,
instead of binding prisoners over to the
grand jury, make the punishment fit
the crime when within their jurisdic
lion. The Millard case will cost tbe
ounty between $300 and $350, when it
shuuM have been disposed ol for $75. -
Friday. .'.
The grand jury this mor&ir.g returned

Captain Henry Coe, in-this week's
Hood River G'acier, gives an interesting
bit of the history of the war with the
Indiana along the Columbia. It is ex
cellently written and deserves to pre
served among the historical records of
the pioneer society.
The city recorder bad one prisoner be
fore him this morning, the charge being
drunk and disorderly. Said prisoner
was an Indian ; a fine looking fellow
togged out in a new blanket and good
clothes. He looked sorry, and the re- I
corder let him off with three days in tbe
jail. "
rremont a ie ot uieui met with a
terrible accident Tuesday, in which be
almost lost his life. He was on his way
to Arlington with a load of wheat when he
either fell or was thrown from his wagon
rendering him unconscious. His team
came on, and it was some time before
George Welshhons came along and
found the poor fellow, still unconscious,
and brought him to town; also his
team. It is not yet known how badly
be is hurt.

Girls' Aid Society to Judge Blakeley,
Connie has a home wi'.b Mr. and Mrs.
Tborburn of Wapinitia, and Frank with
Mr. and Mrs. Freeman on 8-Mile. The
boys are bright, intelligent looking little
fellows and seemed pleased with the idea
of getting permanent homes. Mrs.
Thorbnrn is in the city today -and will
take the Arvold boy home with her to
day. .
. The ever admirable comedian, Jule
Walters, will again sustain tbe charac
ter of Horatio in his comedy, the new
'Side Traeked," on its appearance here.
The play has been toned in every part
nntil it is scarcely recognizable. The
scenic effects which have been added
with unstinted liberality and detailed
care are said to be the least noteworthy
of the changes which have been affected.
The specialties are all new and were se
cured from tbe leading vaudeville thea
ters in America. At the Vogt Monday

The last boat to arrive in Dawson
City, August 17th last, had only hard
ware and liquors on board, having been
unable to get over the flats of the Yukon
with her entire cargo. It Is easy to un
derstand why the liquors should have
been given quick dispatch, instead of
flour or bacon ; but why hardware?.
Tbe lot of the frozen miner is hard
enough anyway. No soft drinks could
be made from the kind of liquor begot,
and to add hardware to bis lot, except
for fuel, seems, at this distance, insult
piled upoc injury. Oregonian. - -
Commencing Monday, the loth, Tbe
Dallee, Portland & Astoria Navigation
Co. will put another boat on the run .be
tween this point and Portland, having
made arrangements to run the Maria iu
addition to .their regular boats. The
Maria will leave -. Portland Mondays,
Wednesdays and Fridays at 5:30 a.m.,
and The Dalles Tuesdays, Thursdays and
Saturdays at 6a. m. Mr. G. D. Snow-
den bas accepted tbe position of purser,
which is the best selection the company
could have made. Captain J. Miobell
Martineau will have charge of tbe wbeel.
Tbe steamer Homer arrived at Seattle
yesterday afternoon from Juneau.
Among her passengers were C. C. Burns,
who left Dawson City September 23d.
Burns pohd up the Yukon and came
out over the Chilcooe trail. ; He stated
that when he left Dawson no one had
started down the Yukon for provisions.
The people were daily expecting boats
from St. Michaels. They thought that
the boats were delayed by accident, and
knew nothing of their inability to ascend
the river. Burns said there would be
no starvation at Dawson this winter,
though rations would be limited. '

Marshal Freferg the Freedom of

the
Cah In Your Checks. -
All countv warrants registered prior
to July 7, 1893, will be paid at my
office. Interest ceases after Oct. 27th,
1897. C. L. Phillips,
" County treasurer.
- A man named Jones "and another
named Marshal were arrested Tuesday
charged with larceny of clothing. Con
stable Hill took them before Justice Fi!-
loon . Wednesday for examination
The constable lett them for a few min
utes to fill out some legal papere, and
Marshat took advantage of tbe opportu
nity to step outside. He is still outside
and probably still stepping. Jones re
mained and was. let go on his own rec
ognizance.the case being postponed until
4 o'clock this afternoon, at which time
it will piobably be indefinitely contin
ued, unless Marshal should inconsider
ately show up. Mr. Roger Sinnott was
engaged to defend Marshal, but doesa't
see his way clear to do it as things are
at present, while Constable Hill, vainly
wondering which way Marshal went sees
no way to solve the difficulty.
Jones bears a good reputation, and
tnere seems to be no evidence to connect
him with the case. Marshal, having
taken that remedy known by tbe home
ly phrase "leg bail," makes at' least a
quasi-admission of guilt. ElBe why
should he prefer the fieedom of the roll
ing buncbgrass bills at this inclement
period of the year to the home com
forts, sot mention the . luxuries of
the county jail? Why expose himself
to the danger of having to toil for his
daily bread, when so good an opportu
nity was at band, to have it furnished
him, along with beef and mustard, by
so geaial. a gentleman as John Fitzger
ald? Why soil his shoes with Wasco
eounty mud during the "sawdust dayB
of the year, when he might be taking
bia morning exercise on the freshly
scrubbed asphalt of the jail corridor?
Why prefer the thankless task of asking
for a band-out, with Thanksgiving
turkey' already ripening in every farm
yard?
But thus it is ever, man's best oppor
tunities are neglected, and Marshal may
regret, before the hillsides are whitened
again, that he made so serious a mistake
when he turned his back on the jail
comforts and the kindly ministrations
of John Fitzgerald. But be is gone like
a borrowed umbrella, never' to return,
and may an unfaltering determination
lend strength to his legs, and kindly
Fate keep bis back pointed this way
until he has traveled at leajt 13,000
miles.
The Catholic Fair.

the fair, the committee has arranged
that all who desire to do so, may indulge
in terpsicborean enjoyment. On this
evening gentlemen will be charged fifty

As tbe ladies have a number of beauti
ful articles to dispose of, chances should
be purchased immediately as only those

It is not as cheap as. some others, but is better than all

and you will agree with us. It is constructed from carefully
