Mr. Emil Schanno was at Hood River
yesterday, and asserts that it was as
nasty a day as be ever saw. The snow
fall was much greater than it was here
and the streets were a sea ot slash.
The "Cradle Songs of the Nations,"
which will be given in costume at the
Vogt opera house on December 4th, will
be something entirely different from tbe
general rnn of entertainments, and is
well worth looking forward to. .
The steamer Maria left Portland this
morning for the first trip. It is tbe In
tention to have ber do most of tbe local
freight work, tbns enabling the Regu
lator to make quicker time. She will
now regularly make trips every other
. day.
Rev. William Duncan, father of the
Methiakahtla Indian village, on Annette
island, Alaska, is in Seattle. : He de
nounces tharumors of throuble between
tne minere ana tbe Mathlakahtla In
dians as all lies. He says there is no
mineral on tbe island worth speaking of,
and there were 827 Indians on the island
in 1890, bat they have not been counted
since. . ;-'.-'.
The steamer. Nixon left the Orondo
landing, on the Columbia, with a load
of eighteen cars of wheat for Wenatchee
last Friday. ' About six miles further
down the river she struck a rock, caving
in her bottom. The steamer was at once
headed for shore, and now eatnds- with
her stern under water and her bow rest
ing on tbe shore. Seventeen cars of the
wheat were injured by tbe water.
- Tbe case of the State againet Simmons
was taken np yesterday afternoon and a
jury impaneled. Simmons is one of the
three men accused of beating and rob
bing several Indians near the ice house,
east of town, last summer. This morn
ing tbe jury was taken to the scene of
the alleged robbery in Ward & Robin
son's wagonette,, returning about 9
o'clock. Attorneys Fred Wilson and B.
8, Huntington are for the defense.
Count Achilles de Vecchi, a distin
guished Italian nobleman, died at Wash
ington City a short time ago from eating
PEASE
mushrooms. His death has caused tbe
subject of mushrooms, edible and non
edible, poisonous and otherwise, to be
largely discussed. The secretary of ag
riculture is going to print a book on the
subject for the benefit of the fungivora.
The scientists of the department say
that tbey are unable to hazard an opin
ion as to the character of some particu
lar fungi, as the varieties frequently rnn
into each other. This being true, it
seems like a waste of time and money to
try to described for the benefit of others
that which they cfannot distinguish
themselves. We have a remedy to sug
gest for those who insist on eating the
deadly mushroom, and that is to change
their diet and fill up on Oregon prunes.
Thursday's Dally. .
Wild geese are plentiful in the mar
kets, and are both fat and cheap. .
A sidewalk is being laid on Union
street in front of tbe Leslie Butler prop
erty. -A
marriage license was issued yester

Alice Colleary. ,
A letter received by Miss Bottorff this
morning from Mrs. Briggs states that
Neddy is much better and is out of dan
ger, though confined to bis bed and in a
condition that he cannot be moved.
Mrs. Briggs will come borne tonight on
tbe 5 :30 train.
The 800 Angora goats recently shipped
from Boise, Idaho, to Pendleton, will be
wintered near Pendleton. It is said to
be the intention to ship them to Klon
dike in the spring to make mutton for
the miners. They are hardy and nimble
animals, and can more easily be driven
over tbe mountain passes than sheep.
Work on the new Mill creek trestle is
being pushed energetically, a dozen
teams being employed running scrapere,
and the sound of the blasts in . the new
cut on the other side reminds one of a
mining camp. ' Today tbe piledriver is
being put in place and in a few days
tbe work.of building tbe trestle will be
gin. --The report of tbe public school for the
quarter ending November 12th, shows a
total attendance of 792. The highest
previous record was in tbe same quarter
in 1896, at which time there was 729 pu
pils. Tbe average number belonging is
now 695, against 662 a year ago, and the
average daiy attendance is 670 against
637 in 1896.
The, Indians on the Warm Springs
reservation sold to the Western Packing
Company of Linnton, Or., last week, 600
bead of horses at $2 a bead. It required
considerable persuasion on tbe part of
the jRent to induce the Indians - to dis
pose of their wild and worthless cayusea,
but they now show x disposition to even
sell 2000 bead more, and turn , the pro
ceeds in td stock of greater value.
A man by the name of Morrell was ar
rested yesterday for. holding up one oi
our citizens, or to be more exact, rob
bing hitn while pretending' to be his
friend. The citizen in question had
been trying to get a lot of small change
for a friend at Antelope, and had suc
ceeded in getting twenty-five or ' thirty
dollars worth ot quarters. Morrell was
with him and persuaded him late in tbe
evening to go to his room. Next morn
ing tbe confiding citizen discovered that
he had just ten cents. Morr ell's arrest
followed,' with an examination before
Justice Filloon today. . '
At a meeting of the Seattle Ministe
rial Association Monday night, one min
ister made the assertion that there were
& MAYS.
50,000 people in Seattle who never at
tend church, and that in tbe matter of
church attendance Seattle is a- heathen
city. .
Tbe case of tbe State agains Simmons-
is still on t rial today .'.having been tak
ing tbe time erf the court for forty-eight
hours, Ab there are nine cases growiDg
out of the assault on the Indians, for
which Simmons is being tried, it begins
to look as though the court term would
be an exceedingly long one.'
The streets are quite sloppy and yes
terday the street ciossings were out-of
sight, but this morning most of them
showed up free from mud. Whether it
was tbe fairies, tbe marshal or the prop.
erty owners who caused this, we know
not, but however it was, they have the
thanks of all the ladies in town.
The trial of Jake Prahl for manslaugh
ter, in the killing of Dan Maloney is set
to fellow the case now pending, and
which will probably be concluded this
afternoon. The securing of the jury will
probably occupy considerable time,
nearly everyone having taken an inter
est in it, and being pretty well informed
concerning it.
"The worst cold I ever had in my life
was cured by Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy," w.ites W.H. Norton, of Sutter
Creek, Cal. "This cold left me with a
cough and I was expectorating all the
time. The remedy cured me and I want
all my friends when troubled with a
cough or cold to use it, for it will do
them good., Sold by Blakeley & Hough

Tbe Gordon massacre, which occurred
in (Jhoke unerry canyon, rtevaaa, in
18o2, was presented at tbe Baldwin last
night, and was practically - re-enacted.
It was a massacre general in its nature,
beginning with the Englieh language
and taking in everything from that
down, including the Gordon family.
The audience was not large, but it was
large enough. There is no excuse tor
permitting that kind of thing to run
at large; but as tbe company paid its
license, and so had the authority of the
city behind it, it could not be stopped
on account of it being really a crime.
Circuit Judge Lowell rendered a de
cision in Pendleton Saturday involving
tbe right of the secretary of tbe interior
to cancel a lease of government reserva
tion lands. Judge Lowell said: "When
an allotter haB en tested into a lease in
accordance with tbe prescribed require
ments and the secretary has given the
contract his approval, rights become
vested which no power exwpt a court
can disturb, and if for any reason it is
believed by the secretary that any . lease
so made and approved should be can
celed, tbe government should direct its
law officer to proceed in the proper tri
bunal in behalf of said allottee against
the lessee, that the questions involved
may be judicially determined."

Don't forget the. Circle ball this even
ing, it promises to, be the event of
tbe season.
- Hosea Brown, a veteran of the war of
1812, died at Grants Pass Tuesday,- aged
105 years and 4 months.
A; Y. Marsh and Geo. Joles will have
a turkey shoot on the beach on Novem
ber 24th and 25tb, (Thanksgiving day).
There will also be trap and pigeon
shooting at tbe same time and place. 8-24
Work is being pushed as rapidly as
possible on the new O. E. & N. bridge
acroe9 Mill creek, - Everything is in
readiness to begin the pile driving, and j
in a short time this badly-needed im
provement will be finished.
The Catholic fair begins next Tuesday
and lasts tbe balance of. tbe week. Tbe
fair will .. be held in . the Vogt opera
bouse, and -win, no doubt, cause the
assembling of one of the largest crowds
ever gathered in the building.
- Last nigtt the Salvation Army held a
meeting in the basement of the Method
ist church, when Major Marshall spoke
on "Fnll Salvation." Tonight they will
have and old-time meeting at their bar
racks on First street, led by Major Mar
shall, assisted by Miss Parks.
' Tuesday night at Albany Tom Cul
bertson, a boy 14 years old, boarded a
freight train. He was ordered off just
as the traia was starting. As he
climbed down he slipped and fell, al
most nnder the whesle. One of his feet
was badly injured. It is thought the
foot may be saved. ,
The rain, which has beeu falling al
most constantly since yesterday, makes
everyone think that this side tbe mount
ains is becoming somewhat of a webfoot.
The farmers are the only ones who ap
preciate it) and expect to commence
plowing immediately if the ground does
not freeze up so us to prevent.
As near as we can learn, the excursion
of the Portland merchants will arrive in
The Dalles on their return trip Monday
afternoon at 3 o'clock. This is a little
more like it, as it seems very strange
that the merchants should pass through
a town oi 1 he . Dalles magnitude and
basiness standing without etayiDa over
for at least a few hours. "
Interest in bowling is increasing every
day at the club-alleys, which are in fine
condition. Last night Mr. John Bonn
broke tbe record of these alleys with
a score ot 8U, the former record being
held by Mr. Chae. Lord at 73. Mr.
Bonn made spares on the first and sixth
frames, - tbe rest being strikes, with
three strikes on the final frame.
A number ot new crosswalks are being
put in, and this is certainly a very com
mendable step, as many of them are so
low that they are covered with mud
continually and have . noles , broken
through them which makes it dangerous
for persons traveling over them, and'
should an accident occur, there is no
doubt that the city would have a dam
age suit jon its hands..
Byron, tbe 14-year old son of Mr. and
Mrs. Wiley Norton, of Blodgett, in Ben
ton county, was found dead in a ditch a
few yards from tbe family borne Thurs
day of last w eek. The lad, who was
subject to epileptic fits, went after the
cows and it was supposed that he was
attacked by. a fit while crossing on a
footiog, and fell into the ditch, which is
only two feet deep and a few feet wide.
The case of the State of Oregon vs.
Jake Prahl is being tried today. Tbe
following jurors have been selected :
Geo. Cooper, M. V.Rand, Frank Aber
nathy, M. Dichtenmuller, J. L; Cooper,
G. W. Miller, W. B. Rodman, H. C.
Butcham, Grant Ashby, Hans Lage, W.
Obrist, W. H. Rodenheiser.' This prom
ises to be a long' case, as well as an ex
pensive one for the CDunty.
A few evenings ago Mr. J. Roberts,
living out on the John Day, was taken
into Wasco to be patched up by Dr. Sut
cliffe. He had gob mixed up with a
barb-wire fence and a horse, and came
out with a dislocated shoulder and not
many clothes. He was trying to lead a
fractious horse over the wire, and the
animal reared and catching in the wire
tangled bim up so he was unable to free
himself.
There was a fight at the freight bouse
Tuesday night between a freight con
ductor and bis brakeman. Those who
saw it eaid that tbe conductor swung his
colored lantern, giving the- brakeman a
danger signal, and as this was not heed
ed, he used the lantern to beat tbe
brakeman into a state of subjection.
The blood was scrubbed off the platform
next morning, but tbe lantern was de
molished. No cake, no cards,' no ar
rests, and no names. ,
Tuesday evening about 8 o'clock Mrs..
Forb, the wife of an engineer on tbe
Sumpter Valley Ry., who resides in Ba
ker City, was terribly burned by the ex
plosion of a kerosene oil lamp, says
the Baker City Democrat. . In some un
accountable manner the burning lamp
exploded and the blazing oil inflicted
painful injuries on the lady's head and
breast. Dr. Snow was hastily sum
moned and greatly relieved the suffering
of Mrs. Ford. It ia not thought that
her injuries will endanger ber life.-
Rev. Chris Nictelsen tells of' the big
gest spuds so far heard from.'. Eight or
nine years ago, while- helping to dig po
tatoes on the ranch now owned by F.
H. Button, he'found two potatoes in one
hill, one of which weighed 9 pounds
and the other 8 pounds. Two hills of
potatoes filled a ' bushel basket. An
other potato, dug in the same patch the
same day, weighed . pounds. The
spuds ( were . 'weighed by George T.
Pratber on his scales.- Joe Purser, the
chatnpion potato digger was present
and can verify this story. Glacier.

AN OLD OLD-TIMER.
Invitation to the Firrnien's Ball Held
Here ou July 4 1877.
While the lower part of the building
now occupied by tbe Commercial Club
was being cleared out preparatory to
putting in the bowling alleys, Mr. Joseph
Bonn found an old invitation addressed
to Mr. William Grant, who erected the
building and ran a general store there
The invitation reads as follows:
The Dalles, Or., June 16, 1877.
Mb. Wm. Geast: . -
Yourself and lady are cordially invited
to attend tne second annual ball of Uo
lumbia Relief Hnse Company; No. 2, to
oe given at tbe JNew Umatilla House, in
this city, on tbe evening of the Fourth
of July, 1877.
Committee of arrangements Messrs.
Z. A. Moody, Omer Sylvester, C M. Du-
vall, John McDonald and Frank Mc-
Farland. ;
Tickets, admitting gentleman and
ladies, $2.
Accompanying the invitation . was a
card containing tbe "order of dances,"
which were twenty in number, with an
intermission of one hour at tbe end of
the tenth dance. The dancers ot these
days, or nights, would hardly be satis
fied with tbe program, for of the twenty
dances ten were quadrilles and only
three waltzes and two polkas. '
Many changes have taken , place in
The Dalles, and neither be to whom the
invitation was sent nor any of the com.
mittee that sent it are at present resi
dents ot The Dalles. Z. A. 3Ioody is at
Grants Pass scratching (travel for gold
nupgets; Omer Sylvester is dead ; CM.
DuVall vanished, almost from the mem
ory oi man : John McDonald was in
Sherman county the last the writer
knew of him, and Frank McFarland is
in Southern California. Men have gone,
but the old Columbia Hose Company fs
still on deck, ready to face duty' at a
fire or beauty at a ball. -
It will be noted, too, that the tickets
were sold at $2, double the price usually
asked now, and no doubt tbe red-shirt-ed
boyB bad a grand time and added
largely to their exchequer. Money was
more plentiful then, and people bad not
acquired the trick of hanging on to it.
Accidentally ahot.
Tuesday evening Webb Varney and
Willie Kasberger found an old 32 pistol
in a desk in Mr. Varnev's place of busi
ness, and as there was not much for
them to do just at that time, they be
gan fooling with the pistol, which, of
course, was not loaded. Tbe Kasberger
boy ; who is about 14 years of age, was
sitting down, tbe Varney boy standing
in front of him with the pistol. Kas
berger grabbed the ' pistol and tried to
pull it away from Varney, and in the
scuffle the pistol was discharged, the
ball striking tbe Kasberger boy in tbe
left side. Fortunately the bullet took a
course around the boy's body just under
the ekin, instead of passing straight
through, and Dr. Doane, with a slight
incision, removed it. I
The wound will be healed in a few
days, but the lesson . will not soon be
forgotten by' either the shooter or the
ehootee. Of coursa they did not suppose

A RED-HOT TAMALE MAN.
Gives a Hobo the Very Best He Had On
Board.
Wednesday night at 11 o'clock as Mar-
vin Rand, the tamale man, was coming
down from the East End with bis sixty
pound outfit of taiualea, coffee, etc., be
was held .up by a burly fellow, who
stepped out of a doorway just this side
of Mrs. Julian's restaurant.' Tbe man
caught him by the sleeve and demanded
that he give him four bits; "But," said
Marvin, "it takes me all nigtit to earn
four bits, and t have not that much."
"Give me what you have," was the
reply.
Marvin plac?d his itinerant lunch
counter on tbe ground, and before the
fellow knew what bad happened to him,
Marvin let go his right, catching tbe
bold robber in the neck. The man went .
down like a log, and Marvin, instead of
fastening on to tbe fellow and capturing
bim, as be could easily have done,
picked up bis outfit and came down the
street .calling "Red hot! All hot! Hot
Tamales!" while the fellow picked him
self up and remarked that red hot ta- -males
were not an unknown luxury to.
bim; - but tbe follow who run the busi
ness in The Dalles was the red-hottest
tamale he had tackeled in a long time.
Killed His Sister.
Last Monday the 9 year-old ' eon of
Thos. Gray, who resides near Merlin, in
Southern Oregon, while playing with .
bis father's rifle, accidentally discharged
it.the ball entering the 3 year-old sister's
head, killing her instantly. Tbe only -person
near, an old gentleman, a friend
of the family, was in an adjoining roomr
Hearing the shot, be went to ascertain
the cause, and, seeing what . had hap
pened, started for a neighbor's house to
inform tbe children's parents. Daring
tbe old gentlemen's absence the little
fellow, realizing what he bad done, ran
awav from home without a hat, coat or
shoes. Arriving at Merlin after dark.
hetuid the section men, with whom he
stayed over night, that bis father bad
whipped bim and that he ran away.
After a niitht's rest, the section men
supposed he would go home, but instead
he took to tbe bills, and although a
strict search bad been made, at last ac
counts he had not been found. - - -
Sea the Chrysanthemums.
