ing to William A. Crawford of Golden
dale, and Mrs, Virginia Crooks of this
county.
Oue vagrant appeared before the city
recorder this morning, 'and was eent
back to jail where he will remain
- until this evening, when be will be re
leased. The way Prof. McE wen's class picked
imaginary strawberries on the stage
and peddled them among the audience
last night, sold peanuts, laughed, cried,
and went through a number of other
maneuvers was highly amusing.
Robert Thompson, son of the late H.
S. Thompson, was thrown from a horse
this morning and bad one of the bones
broken at the point of the right
shoulder. Dr. Eshelmsn was called to
attend him, and he is getting along
. nicely.
Yesterday morning a slide occurred
near Bonneville which delayed the 5 :15
trainjabout four hours. Wejunderstand
that it occurred at what is known as the
eliding mountain, wbich has always
given the company a great deal of
. trouble.
A committee has been appointed by
the Bed Men to make arrangements for
a grand ball to be given New Tear eve.
Arrangements have not yet been com
pleted, but the committee are doing all
in their power to have a enjoyable party
and there is no doubt that success will
crown their efforts.
Since the ladies were not allowed to
attend the club last night, a large num
ber took advantage of this morning be
ing ladies' day, and enjoyed a few hours
bowling and other- pastimes, which no
place but the club rooms afford. They
did not succeed, however, in break inn
the record or making any phenomenal
scores. ,
No clue as yet has been discovered to
the persons who burglarized MaeU &
Pandt'a saloon Monday night, and un
der the circumstances it is impossible
for the officers to do anything. . - There
seems to be a eet of smooth thieves in
the city at present who are committing
robberies right along, and it js to be de
plored that the officers cannot lay their
bands on them. .
A foil house awaited ' the opening of
Prof. McEwen's entertainment . last
night. A number of ' professional and
business men were called on the stage,
and after proving beyond reasonable
doubt that the man who was in Liebe's
window yesterday was asleep, he woke
. him. The sleeper complained of no dis

comfort, but said he felt fine. The pro
fessor then allowed himself to be blind
folded and had some of the gentlemen
borrow articles from members ot the au
dience and conceal them. He would then
take bold (of the man's band, go into
the audience with his eyes bandaged
and find the articles, returning them to
the owners. A number of other diffi
cult tricks of this nature were per
formed, after which he called a class to
gether and gave funny and interesting
exhibitions of his mesmeric and hypnot
ic power. -
Thursday's Daily.
No. 1 arrived about five hours late
this morning, coming in shortly before
the Spokane train and remaining long

fast.

A few days ago some kleptomaniac
stole a couple of insurance signs belong
ing to J. M. Huntington, which he had
banging outside of his door. What any
one could have wanted with such things
is a mystery, except that be wanted the
frames.
An entire change of program will be
presented tonight at McEwen's enter
tainment at the Vogt, and there is no
doubt if the crowd keeps increasing as it
has during the last three nignts, that
the opera house will scarcely be able to
accommodate them all.
An ' habitual drank, who has been
causing considerable trouble around
town recently, and who has been before
the recorder's court about a half dozen
times, was arrested again last night and
fined $50, which it is hoped will prove
as good in his case as a term in the
Keeley Institute.
Work is being pushed rapidly on the
new railroad bridge across Mill Creek.
The piling on which the bents will rest
are nearly all driven, the blasting on the
other side is about finished, and the

done, so that in a short time this piece
of road will be in first-class shape.

a pioneer of 1845, and father of A. A.
Bonney of this city, to Mrs. Agnes G.
Fisher, occurred at the Methodist Epis

ton, Illinois, in 1845, and has ever since
lived on his donation land claim one
mile east of Woodburn, -' excepting a
short time which he spent in the mines

B. B. Hays, one of the most promi
nent men of Tillamook county, and well

quality for our purpose."
Forty-six persons in all are prostrate
in Corvallis as a result of eating poison
ous food, several are still in a very
serious condition, though the physicians
in attendance believe that the danger
point is now passed. Violent purging

each case, and some are absolutely pros
trated with weakness. A similar case
occurred in a family in this citv not
long since, but of a less eeriouB nature.

said, bat grave fears are entertained by
Corbett's friends that he will not be seat

at band business is rather lax. This
can be attributed to the- bad condition
of the roads, and as, the ground is very :

that business will pick up in a' moderate
degree.

Kill feather, another juryman to secure
favorable verdict for Taffe, was arrest
ed in San Francisco Monday on a bench
warrant issued by Judge Bellinger at tbe
request of U. S. Attorney Hall. It was

probably be a week before tbe water
goes down so tbe break can be perma
nently repaired, though the water com
pany hopes it will fall within a day or
two to make tbe building of a temporary
line around the broken section possible,
There is water enough in the reservoir
to last a short time, in case there are no
fires, but no more water can be pumped
in until the line is fixed.
ZTM'EWEN THURSDAY NIGHT.
A Crowded House and
a Laughable
Entertainment,
A number of highly-amusing special
ties were introduced last night by Pro
fesBor McEwen. At tbe commencement
of the entertainment tbe professor made
number of instructive remarks con
cerning tbe hypnotic and; mesmeric art,
after which he,commenced work with his
class, which contained a number of new
subjects, but nevertheless proved very
successful. An amusing feature- was
where one of the members forgot bis
name and was told by the professor
that a person in tbe audience had it.
Tbe subject immediately proceeded to
get it by force or any other means, and
after being sent around the hall by the
different ones he' approached, was told
that Sheriff Driver had it, and proceed
ed, without any hesitancy, to force that
worthy official to give it up, insisting
that he come up on the stage so that he
would have a chance to take it out of
his bide. Another one imagined that
he had lost his nose, and, with tears in
his eyes and afterwards with threats,
besought the audience to return it.
The "Cleveland Band" was one of the
best things of the evening, and the way
the members of the class sang and
turned tin whistles, broom-sticks, chairs
and old horns into first-class instru
ments, was a caution. After playing
their resptctiv parts on the stage, they
formed in the order ot march and parad
ed around the ball with as much pomp
and self-conceit as would Sousa's grand
aggregation.
Nothing could speak better for Prof.
McEwen than .the increase noticeable
each evening in tbe attendance, and.
udglng from ' the interest everyone
takes in his peculiar art, there is no
doubt that be will have crowded bouses
each and every night that be remains
here.
AT THE VOGT LAST NIGHT.
Another
Side-Splitting- Entertainment
Given by McEwen.
Prof. McEwen's-entertainment last
ight was as laughable as usual and
well attended. He had an excellent
class and did good work. The most
amusing thing of the evening was the
milking scene, where every member of
the . class milked imaginary cows for
dear life and sold the milk like profes
sional venders to the audience.
The class was then provided with fisti
ng poles, and tbe way they pulled tbe
speckled beauties from in front of the
footlights waa indeed amusing. Some
of them fell into the supposed river
while engaged in this diversion, and the

Commercial Club Klectlon.
In the election of a board of directors .
for Tbe Dalles Commercial and Athletic

The members of the club showed ex
cellent . judgment in re-electing this
board, as they have done as much for
the advancement of the club as could
possibly be done. They have been un
tiring in their efforts to make it what
it is, and no better proof of their success
could be desired than the present flour- -ishing
condition of that organization.
We have no doubt that under their wise
management in future the club will con
tinue to advance as it has during the
past two years.
