Wednesday's Daily.
This morning the funeral of M. D. L,
' Reminington, the Woodburn machiaist
and inventor who died at that place
Monday morning, was held en Silverton,
Marion county.
Profeseor Wann, late of the Capital
business college of Salem, has succeeded
Professor Miles as principal of the com
mercial department of the Ashland
' state normal school.
Monday night the inhabitants of Col
far were terribly excited. Abont 12 :30
the . electric lights went ont, and the
people of the town thonght preparations
were being made to hang the murderers
of Orville Hayden.
Our football team is making a fine
showing considering that a number of
the players are new beginners, and from
present indications will give the Dofur
ites a lively game on New Years day.
They are putting in what time they can
can practicing, which, owing to the fact
that many of them have long working
hours, is somewhat limited.
In a private letter received from F. A
Seufert, who is at present in New York
City, he says that all lines of business
are looking np in a remarkable degree
in that section, and that during the
present month more business has been
. done than in any month of December
for over four years. He states further
that there are fewer men out of employ
ment and more prosperity . among all
classes than there has been for years.
J. H. Greer, agent for the Oregon and
- Asiatic Steamship Line, was in the city
yesterday. Mr. Greer has completed a
contract with some Klickitat horse
raisers for a large number of draft and
pack horses to be used in the Klondike
traffic next spring. Mr. Greer says that
this is the easiest time to get into Daw
eon, as the trails are well broken and
frozen hard, making . traveling much
easier than it will be when spring opens.
A pleasant dancing party was held at
- the Baldwin last night. The attend
ance was fairly good, and nothing was
overlooked by the managers that would
add to the pleasure of the evening.
These dances will probably be held reg
ularly Tuesday nights during the winter,
and will be an excellent place for young
people to spend a pleasant evening, as a
select crowd attends, and no one need
stay away through fear of questionable
characters being present.
- The advance agent of the Excelsior
Company, Mr. A. C. Fox, left for the
East last night, having concluded his
business in this city. On account of
"South Before the War" having occu
pied the majority of the big bill boards
previous to his arrival, it was im possible
Terry 5i?nstmas
Jo HI,
to display the pictoral matter that he
desired to, having large posters which
were unfitted for the space at his dis
posal. We sincerely wish to see him
soon again in advance of his company,
giving the people of The Dalles the op
portunity of witnesbing either of the
plays in their reportoire.
Miss Mollie Battorff, who for some
time past has been in the employ of
Mrs. Briggsin the milliinery business
in this place, left for Spokane yesterday
where she will remain a month or more,
visiting her mother. About the first of
February Miss Bottorff intends return
ing to this city and opening up a new
milinery establishment, with a larger
and more select stock of goods than has
ever been offered for sale in this city,
Miss Bottorff is ascknowledged by all
competent judges to be an adept in this
line, and there is no doubt that she will
do well in her venture.
Thursday's Daily.
A marriage license waB issued today to
Mr. E. B. Miller and Miss M. E. Bish
op. No one should miss Eeeing the Er
celsior Dramatic Company in Hazel
Kirke on Saturday night.
The will of Deitrich Stegman, who
died in this city a few weeks ago, was
probated in Goldendale yesterday.
The public schools closed for the
Christmas vacation this afternoon-and
studies will not be resumed until Mon
day, January 3, 189S.
As there are no extra charges for
reserved seats for Hazel Kirke everyone
should secure their seats as soonj as
possible. Tickets will be 50 cents.
This morning Constable Hill arrested
a Froat street Chinaman for selling
cigarettes to "'minors, and he will have
his bearing before Justice Filloon this
afternoon. This is a more, serious offense
than most people consider it, and is
panishable with a fin9 of from five to
fifty dollars. It is also an offense for
minors to purchase cigarettes, ana it
would be well if this law were more
rigidly enforced, so that our boys would
not gow up slaves to this vile habit.
The four persons making the four
highest scores on Christmas day at the
Umatilla House alleys will be given a
box of cigars each.. There is little donbt
that all the high rollers will do their
best on that occasion.
The testimony in the divorce case of
English vs. English was taken before
D. S. Dufur as referee yesterday. Owing
to the illness of one of the principal
witnesses the case could not be finished
today. A. S. Bennett and H. H. Bid-
dell appear for the plaintiff, and Dufur
& Menefea for the defendant.
John McAuley, a well-known sheep
man, has built a new residence on ais
ranch at Rattlesnake Bprings, in Gilliam
county, and sent back to Ross-shire,
Scotland, for a young lass to be his
bride. Her name is Miss Mary Ann
McKay, and Mr. McAuley has bean
courting her by letter ever since he left
the old country, nine years ago. ...
S. F. Fonts, the cigar-maker who re
cently located in our city, says that he
is more than surprised at the amount
of business he is doing, and if orders
continue to come in as' rapidly as they
have, it will be necessary to put on an
additional man. His ten-cent cigar is
as good as it is represented and today
be ordered 400 pounds of the tobacco
used in its manufacture. His cheaper
goods are also in demand and to say
that all his brands are equal to import
PEASE & MAYS.
ed stock of the same price is no exag
geration. The governor's medal has. been won
by E. W. Moore, of G company, First
regiment. Our townsman, Sergeant W
A. Moore, of Co. G, Third regiment,
came second, being but one point be'
hind the winner, the winning score
being 43, while his was 42. Neither of
those scores are remarkable ones as
there is a possible fifty, and the victori
ous Private Moore came within but
seven points of that mark. ,
A few days ago the Mountaineer spoke
of - some turkeys averaging seventeen
pounds ach, which were brought into
markat. Those were small compared
with those brongbt in from Klickitat
county by Mr. Crawford a few days ago,
There were thirty-four turkeys in the
lot which averaged over twenty-one
pounds, and it is unnecessary to say
that they were beauties. They were
purchased by The Dalles Commission
Company.
This morning C. F. Jghneton who had
been accused of larceny from a dwelling,
of an overcoat of the value of $18, had
his hearing in the recorder's conrt and
bound over to appetf before the next
grand jury. The private prosecution
being H. S. Turner, who alleges that the
overcoat was stolen from him at the
Umatilla House. 'Johnston's bonds
were fixed at $200, and as no bondsman
has yet been iound he was placed in the
county jail. x
j.The Excelsior Dramatic Company in
the production of "Hazel Kirke" and
"Ticket of Leave Man," have every in
dication of doing a very large business,
for the fact of the entire floor of the
Yoet' being the same price. There is
little advantage derived frum buying a
75-cent ticket when a 50-cent is just as
good. Patrons of the theater are ad.
vised to procure their seats as soon as
possible, there being no extra charge
made for reserved eeatB.
E. P. Weir of Fossil, Gilliam county.
shipped several carloads of hogs from
Fossil to Portland last week. Hoffman
& Hastain of Fossil are purchasing hogs
and turning them into bacon. Laet
week they received twenty head from
Frank. Knox that averaged 271 pounds
in weight, and ten head from J. D.
Livingston that averaged 170. ' The
prices paid were four cents and 3.90 per
lb., live weight, respectively, which
made the hogs bring over $11 a head.

The report of the condition of the First

umn today.
A fresh line of choice French candies

Factory. They will be sold at prices so
low that it will surprise you.
The members of the Methodist Sun
day school have decided to have a
Christmas tree on Saturday evening at
7 o'clock in the church. Friends of the
school are invited to place presents on
the tree. A committee will be at the
church to receive them in the afternoon,
and it is requested that they be brought
in early. .. .
The funeral services of Mrs. Perry
Morgan will be held at the home of her
father, W. H. Taylor, on Dry Hollow,'

city cemetery.
. A short program has bean prepared
for the entertainment at the Christian
church tonight, which will precede the
distribution of presents and the arrival
of Santa Claus. Exercises will begin
at 7 :30 sharp. .
Owing to the fact that no paper will
be issued tomorrow, Christmas day, Thb
Chbonicle takes advantage of this, its
last opportunity, of wishing its readers,
young and old, big and little, rich and
poor, a Merry Christmas.
- Today the Woodmen of the World
paid the $2000 beneficiary due to the
family of one of its deceased members,
D. H. Thompson. This should gladden J
the hearts of the widow and children,
and aid in making the Christmas mer
rier., At a meeting of the A. O. U. W last
night A. N. Varney was taken through
both degrees, and is now a full-fledged
Workman. D. C. Herrin and others
made speeches, end the meeting from
beginning to end was pleasant and in
teresting. The Chinaman who had his bearing
before Jnstice.Filloon yesterday for sell
ing cigarettes to minors, was found
guilty of the offense charged in the in
dictment and fined $15. It would be
well if a number of others Nwho violate
this law ' were treated to a dose of the
same medicine.' - -
Editor Doutbit, of the Mountaineer,
returned from Portland yesterday, where
he has been attending to business con
nected with the special edition.. He
says the same will be out about January
3d, and is well pleased with its appear
ance so far. From what we can learn
and have seen of it, there is little doubt
as to its being one of the finest special
editions that has ever been gotten out
in Eastern Oregon.
A little boy about 7 years old was
found strolling around town today in
quest ot his father, whose name he says
is Mike Bohan.from Grants. He was
turned over to Deputy Sheriff Kelly,
and proves to be a bricht little lad. He
says his name is Paul Bohan, and that
he and his father came down from
Grants recently, and that he strayed off
from him and does not know where he
is. Mr. Kelly will take care of him un
til his father is found.
In case good service ia not given in
the local telephone exchange today, no
one should feel indignant, as a piece of
mistletoe, which was brought all the
way from Webfoot, is .suspended over
the heads of the operators. We have
every reason to believe that if some of
the Dalles young men are not responsi
ble for its being there, they are at least
conscious of its presence. In case a
muffled "Hello!" comes to the ears of
any ofj the patrons, we ask them not to
blame the 'pbone.
A Domestlo Episode,
When Mr. Eastwood arrived at the
dock this morning prior to.tbe time for
the hoat to pull out, everything looked
serene. But later a medium-sized
woman, with a look of determination on
her face, mixed with a John L. expres
sion, bought a ticket for Portland, and
then cast her lights on a 'lanky farmer
from the country south of this place,
who, by the way, was her husband, and
said, with more determination than
politeness, "I want those children!"
at the same time pointing to two little
ones, who were standing bv the side of
their paternal. He refused to give them
up, and in another instant there was an
indescribable mix-up, as his "better
half" proceeded to forcibly take her off-
sprig, uttering in the meantime such
exclamations as "You can't have my
children!" "I'll break your nose !' "Til
scratch your eyes out!"
As the boat gave the final whistle be
fore starting, she stopped to take breath
and size up the results of the encounter,
One glance was sufficient, and when she
noticed that the blood was flowing free
ly from a number of scars and scratches
on the husband's face, but that she was
anable to get possession of the children,
she proceeded up town to get the assist
ance of the authorities. We could
not find out how the matter was settled
up, but we can say on thing," that many
person has been punished for assault
and battery who did not do up his man
in anything like the artistic manner in
which she handled her victim. . .
A Deserter Captured.
Herbert G. Galteahue, a" private of
troop G, Fourth United States cavalry,
who escaped from Vancouver barracks
several weeks ago, while he was held
nnder court-martial sentence for deser
tion and perjury in enlistment, volun
tarily gave himself up Saturday night
to the Pendleton police. Sergeant Holt
man and another officer of the Fourth
cavalry at Walla Walla, arrived Sunday
and left that night with the prisoner
for Vancouver. Galteahue says the rea
son for desertion was on account of be
ing in love with a Pendleton valley girl.
He says be has the girl now and is con
tent to serve his time. Since escaping
from Vancouver he has been wandering
over Oregon and -Washington, Private

The Bowling Tournament.
A bowling tournament between a
picked team from the Commercial Club
and outside players was arranged yes
terday. It will be held in the club
rooms on the afternoon of Christmas
day and on Monday evening, and on
the Umatilla House alleys on Wednes
day and Thursday evenings. The club
team is made "up of the following bowl
ers: Judge Bradsuaw, A. J. Tolmie,
Chas. Phillips, Joe Bonn, Otto Birgfeld,
Victor Sampson, while the outside team
consists of . the following men : Mark
Fleming, A. B. Estebennett, H. Maetz,
W. Birgfeld Chas. Frank, James Ben
ton.
Both teams contain a number of the
best bowlers in the city, and the tourna
ment promises to be close and exciting,
Death of Mrs. Ferry Morgan.
This morning about 7:30 o'clock
Mrs. Alice Morgan, wife of Perry Mor
gan, died at the heme of her parents,
Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Taylor, on Dry
Hollow.
Mrs. Morgan has been ailing for some
time, growing steadily worse since the
death of her child in August of last
year. She was 26 years of age, and
has lived in The Dalles . since her
sixth year. Among those who knew her
she was a great favorite, being of that
sweet, gentle disposition calculated to
maka friends and to keep them.
Nothing definite has been decided as
to the funeral, relatives being expected
from the valley ; but will probably be
held on Saturday.
The Glenmorag.
Mr. John Kiernan, owner of the Glen
morag, was in Astoria Sunday night
last and stated to a News reporter that
the only damage the vessel had sus
tained in recent storms was the break
ing of a couple of spars. It is true the
cable parted, but the hull is ' uninjured,
and it is probable that another attempt
will be made to float her in the course
of the next ten dayB or two weeks. Mr.
Kiernan thinks the Glenmorag was
moved obout thirty of forty feet further
up the beach. 4-8 there was a nine
foot tide on the 20th and one six inches
higher on the 25th, the owner hopes to
make bis next , effort on or before
Christmas day.
Eight Mtle Debating Glnb.
The 8-Mile Debating Club met Wednes
day night for the first time in debate,

ital Has Done More for the Human
Race than Labor." After a spirited
