For November the weather clerk has
furnished the past few days some of the
'most beautiful spring weather imagina
ole. Another week of it and the spring
poetry should begin to come in.
Portland had quite a snow storm Fri
day, the gronnd being covered to the
' depth of three inches, while Lere we
bad barely enongh to cover the gronnd,
and that turned to slash almost as fast
as it fell. Pagne has been calling the
torn on it for nearly a month, and final
ly fetched it.'
The clouds having cleared away, it
will be possible to study the heavens to
night. It is expected that there will be
quite a brilliant meteorical display both
tonight and tomorrow night after mid
night, though the grand display occur
ring every thirty-three years is not due
until next year.
The pile- driver has been pat in place
for building the new trestle across Mill
creek, and today several carloads of pil
ing have been dumped over the bank
and will soon be in place. A dozen
teams are engaged in b ruling all the
Mill creek bottom onto the bill, and
several gangs of men are blasting oat
the cat.
A man supposed to be from New berg
walked overboard from the steamer
Regulator yesterday morning at Port
land, and was drowned. He was under
the influence of liquor at the time, and
.though the crew did everything possible
no opportunity was given to help the
unfortunate man as he never came up
after his first plunge.
"The face of every woman is a history
o r a prophecy," said Mrs. Margaret
Sangster at the annual banquet of the
Emma Wiilard Association recently.
"1 have no sympathy with women who
try to (ffjce wrinkles. A woman has
no business to look younger than she is.
There is a hiEtory in every wrinkle of
her face,"
Mr. J. G. Woodwortb, general freight
agent for the O. R. & N., in an interview
with an East Oregonian . reporter the
other day, speaking of the visit of the
Portland merchants to Eastern Oregon
and Washington, said: "In crossing
from Washington into our own state and
coming to Pendleton, the first important
Oregon city which we have visited,"
etc. .Portland and tlie U. K. & JN . may
class The Dalles as of no importance,
but they will slip their trolley, when
they do.
The Circle ball at the Vogt last night
was one of the most delightful events of.
the year. The attendance was light,
but the music, was fine, the floor in ele
gant condition, and those who attended
were unanimous in the statement that
the Circle knew how to entertain and
bad given them one of the most enjoya
ble evenings possible. The programs
were unique, the front page of each hav
ing a little pen or pencil sketch, the
work of Mrs Inez Filloon, and we noted
that each of them was kept as a souvenir.-
the Portland hospital, and is making a
success of his mission. ' The Leaguers
were fortunate in persuading him to
lecture for their benefit. '
The fair for the benefit of the Catholic
church will begin Tuesday evening, No
vember 23d.- Doors will be open for
guests at 7 :30, and an enjoyable time
can be assured all who attend. On this

hall this (Saturday) evening at 8:30
o'clock. This meeting is called in pur
suance of general orders received from
national and department officers, in
memory of Mrs. E. Florence Barker,
past national president, who died at her
home in Maiden, Mass., on September
11, 1897, and Mrs. Julia Abraham, past

No matter where they go The Dalles
boys always come to the front. This is
shown in the case of Forrest Fisher, re
cently elected captain of the Stanford
foot ball team. The San Francisco Call
of the 16th gives him a column, and
also shows a very good picture of him
Mr. Fisher has two brothers here, Ralph
in French & Co.'s, and James, in the
employ of Mayor M. T. Nolan. Fisher
has won his way to the front in college
athletics, and his election as captain of
the foot ball team is simply a recogni
tion of merit. Not only is be at the
front in athletics, but Wasco county can
feel prond to know that one of her boys
is coming to the front in other lines.
Fisher is manager of the college paper,
the Daily Palo Alto, and he is making a
decided success in the study of the law.
There is one thing on earth that excels a
Dalles bov, and that, of course, is a
Dalles girl. We regret that lack of space
prevents as republishing the full state
ment of the Call about our young towns

Methodist church was well filled last
evening on the occasion of the lecture
by Rev. W. H. Iliff, who took for his
subject "Through the World of Night,"
which gave a very vivid and eloquent
description ot a visit to the mammoth
cave of Kentucky. Mr. Iliff is a very
eloquent speaker, and the vein of humor
which seems to be a part of his nature
and runs through the whole discourse,
gives It flavor often lacking in the con
ventional lecture. Rev. Iliff was sent
to Portland by the general conference of
the Methodist church in the interest of
Monday's Dally.

The song of the turkey is beard in the

sudden attack of throat trouble that will
terminate his career and send him to

and he "done up brown."

The Portland business men, who have
been visiting the Inland Empire, arrived
here dr) thfir way home yesterday after
noon at '3:50 and remained over until
6. The cars stopped at the Washington
street crossing, where, tne visitors
stepped off and were met by a commit
tee of the Commercial Club, who escort
ed them to the ciab rooms, which they
were informed they owned - as long as
they were in tbe city. They were de
lighted with the rooms and astonished
that The Dalles was able to support
such an institution. It gave them a
better idea ot the wealth of the place
than almost anything could have done,
Many tried i -the alleys and the billiard
tables, and then scattered over the town
to make new and renew old acquaint
ances.
Tbe Umatilla House toward evening
presented a lively appearance, the offices
and billiard rooms beine filled with the
Portland and Dalles mixture, gathered
in groups, and apparently glad to see
one another.
Tbe train pulled out at 6 o'clock,
starting from the Umatilla House,
There were hurried .good byes, and ur
gent requests to come again that showed
our . visitors if there has been coldness
between Eastern Oregon and Portland,
it was not because the former was hard
to woo.
We are glad indeed that the visit haB
been made, and we . believe it will
awaken Portland to the fact that Eastern
Oregon is for her a veritable Klondike, a
field to be tilled with the certainty of
abundant harvests. ' .

COLUMBIA CANDY FACTORY.
Walter Norman Takes
Tomorrow.
Charge of It
Tomorrow Mr. Walter Norman will
open the Columbia Candy Factory, hav
ing recently purchased the same.- This
old-time favorite resort of Dalles people
wilt regain its popularity under his
management, assisted by Harry Kelly.
It is his intention to make the Colom
bia second to no other place in tbe city
in its accommodations and its wares.
Besides fresh and dainty candies, oys
ters, coffee, cake and everything pertain
ing to first class refreshment rooms will
be furnished. . .
Walter is a Dalles bov, and as The
Dalles never goes back on its boys, it is
safe to say that he will from the first, re
ceive, as be 8boold, a generous snare 01
the patronage, and thia being the case,
the best of wares and service will hold
fast all those who visit him.
Bin found Rich Placers.
Mr. W. T. Young, of the Sand Gulch
Mining Co, (the one in which the Joles
brothers are interested) arrived in tbe
city Sunday, coming for tbe purpose of
purchasing hydraulic pipe with which to
work their mine. He brought a bottle
of gold taken from the claim that con
tained $107, which was taken from tbe
claim in a rocker.' The gold is coarse
and ragged, and has probably accumu
lated from the decomposition of email
Stringers of very rich ore. The ground
prospects well wherever a bole has been
sank on it, and will no doubt yield a
handsome fortune to the lucky owners.
The company has a ditcb eix and a
half miles long that will carry 650 inches,
miners' measurement, of water, and
with fine pressure and plenty of dump,
next spring's results will make people
think the Klondike no great shakes
after all. '
Cash In Tour Checks.
All county warrants ' registered prior
to July 7, 1893, will be paid at my I
Saturday's Daily.
Today at noon the trial of Jake Prahl,
indicted for manslaughter in the killing
ot uan Moloney, terminated in a ver
diet of acquittal, the jury being ont only
five minutes. The verdict meets with
general approval, even by those who
knew and appreciated the better side
of Dan Maloney's character. As we
said at tbe time, about the worst fault
Maloney bad was tbe disposition to take
the. law into his own hands, and he did
not stop to argue any side of a case ex
cept his own. He was brave, fearless
and not particularly vindictive, bat once
imagining himself right, that settled
it. There was nothing Maloney would
not do for a friend, and he was just aa
generous in paving his debts to his
enemies. -
The writer of 'his article had, perhaps.
a better acquaintance and a more thor
ough understanding of Maloney's char
acter than anyone. There were so many
things that, under more favorable cir
cumstances, would have made him a
leader, that, we regretted his taking eff
as in some respects a loss to the com'
inanity. And yet we recognized the
justness of the verdict rendered today,
In a pioneer settlement, with outside
dangers to contend with, such as the
earlier settlers found in their conflicts
with the Indians, Maloney would havo
been a Daniel Boone or a Davy Crock
ett, for he was without fear. ' And yet
this very trait of its character that an
dr different circumstances would have
made him a hero, caused his death, apd
that, too, in a way that causes every
good citizen to . indorse the verdict of
the jury in acquitting the man who
killed him. '
CRUSHED IN A WRECK.
Woman In Charge or Outfitting- Train
Fatally Injured.
One of those unaccountable accidents
likely to befall the best regulated rail
road family in the country, occurred on
the O. R. & N. line, near Boonville.Jlate
Saturday afternoon, wrecking three cars
of a boarding outfit train, and in the
mix up" injuring Miss Kate McCall,
who was in charge of the boarding outfit
so that she had to be taken to Portland
and taken to St. Vincentis hospital for
treatment. Her injuries are sufficiently
serious to make her case a precarious
one for several days, until the reaction
sets in.
The train was an east-bound extra
freight, which had several boarding oat-
fit cars, made np of dining, kitchen and
bunk cars, for the laborers. When about I
1)4 miles eaBt of Bonneville one of the
outfit cars jumped the track, the cause1
being attributed to the dropping of a
bolt or brake beam. 0irg to the prox
imity of a bridge the train was going
slow, so that tbe derailing of one car
carried only the two following with it.
There was considerable excitement
among the laborers, but as they all re
' mpined inside none were hurt.. Miss
McCall however made a break, for the
platform, presumably with the inten
tion to jump off, at the first sound of the
wreck, and reached it just as her own
car jumped the track, where she was
caught and crushed into an insensible
mass.
The men turned out and made heroia
efforts to extricate her remains, but it
was found impossible to remove the
heavy timbers. In the midst of tbe work
Mies McCall revived,- and the fact in
creased the zeal of rescuers. After some
15 minutes, which must have seemed
an age to the suffering woman, she was
taken out and tenderly cared for. , A
special car and engine was at once put -into
Bervice and she was taken to Port-;
land.
Miss McCall, who is about 35 years
old, is an old employe of tbe company,
having bad charge of the outfitting
trains for years. -
Obituary Notice.
Died, at her borne in Tygh Valley,
Mrs. Mollie Powne, wife of our esteemed
and beloved doctor, N. G. Powne1.
Deceased was born Nov. 1,1871. At
the age of 3 years she was adopted into
the family of Mrs. Horton, who was in
deed to her all that a mother conld be.
At the early age ol 15 she gave her heart
to God, was adopted into His family and
placed ber name noon tbe roll of the
Baptist church (the church militant)
and lived a consistent Christian life un
til God called her to join the church tri
umphant. She lived and died in the
Christian hope, and we believe she has
gone to enjoy the Christian reward.
She leaves a husband, to whom she
sis united in marriage December 4,
1894. and a mother, who deeply mourn
their loss; but "they mourn not as those
that have no hope.'? We would com
mend them to God, the father of all,.
who can give them grace and strength in
their hour of bereavement. She leaves
a large circle of friends, who will miss
her loving councils and kind deeds
among them. It may be said pf her, as
it has been said of others, to know her
was to admire and love ber.
The services were conducted by the
writer to a large and sympathetic audi
ence. Text, Keveiations xiv:id.
In behalf of the husband and mother
we wish to thank the many friends who
o kindly assisted them dnriuz her ill
ness and in the burial of the dead.
