A black astrachao cape, marked "J.
E. A., which was left at the opera house
last night, can lw had by calling at
Harry C. Liebe'8 jewelry store.
A few days azo a long? distance tele
phone office was established at Viento, a
few miles west of this place, and Mr.
Early, who is O. R. & N. agent at that
point, will have charge of the office.
The funeral of the late George Harri
on, who died yesterday morning, took
place from Crandall & Burget'a under
taking parlors this afternoon, and was
attended by numerous friends of the
deceased.
F. W. L." Skibbee, proprietor of Ihe
Skibbee Hotel in this city left on the
boat this morning for Portland. Mr.
Skibbee intends going to Skagnay in a
short time, and has gone to make neces
sary preparations. He will either rent
or sell his hotel in this city and go into
business of some kind in Alaska. What
it will be he has not yet decided, and
be may go into the mining districts;
bat at present he thinks that bis fntnre
place of business will be Dyea or Skag
nay. t '
Harry Heppner of Heppner arrived
in the city yesterday and spent the day
shaking hands with his many old
friends in this vicinitv. Harry intends
taking a trip to Klondike, bat as he has
not navigated in anything nearer to a
water craft than a prairie echooner for
a long time, he fears sea-sickness, and
as an experiment be went down on the
Regulator today. If the trial trip suits
him, he will, in all probability, go to
Alaska, and if be is not the Barney Bar
netto ot Alaska before many years hence,
we will greatly miss our guess.
Last night a dance was held in tbe
North Dalles corset factory building, and
some ot our young people decided to at
tend it. One genial young fellow In
company with a young lady, started tor
this suburban resort with the hearts of
both set on the pleasures they were
about to enjoy, but where they bad I
their eyes cast we do not know, as in go
ing to their boat which was near the
Regulator wbart, they advanced too far
and with a splash, both fell into tbe icy
water. As tbey rose to tne surface be
grasped her with one hand and - a rope
which chanced to be banning from one
side of the boat, in the other. Parties
who were near by and heard their cries,
fished them out, and they were the wet
est pair of suckers that have been caught
at the wharf for a long time.
Fen Batty left on the early morning
train for Portland today, and ru.mor says
that his object in going is to purchase
Klondike supplies. Such is undoubted
ly the case, as he has been making some
extensive preparations of late. He has
spent hours in training his favorite dog,
"Lord Fontleroy," to drive with a jerk
line, and the remainder of his epare
time was spent in looking up nice large
canines suitable for tbe Cbilcoot. We
do not mean to say that he swipped any
of those dogs, but we must admit that
several disappeared very mysteriously,
among them Billy Gribble's old dog,
"Shag." Of course some unscrupulous
sausage-make may have taken them,
but the sounds that were said to have
been heard in the Umatilla House
chicken coop a few nights since would
have been sufficient to convince the
loser where the most likely place to
find a Chilcoot roadster would be.
Monday's Dally.
. The site has been purchased for the
200-barrel flouring mill which will be
built near Milton, in Umatilla county,
near tbe O. R. & N. railway track.
Testimony for the defense is being
taken today in the divorce case of Eng
lish vs. English. Douglas Dufur is tak
ing the testimony and acting as referee.
Two carloads of fine stall-fed beef cat
tle are in tbe stockyards today awaiting
shipment. They were bought fiom
Robert Mays by the Union Meat Co.,
of Portland, and will be shipped to their
packing house at Trootdale, tonight.
Today Jim Benton left for Dafnr,
where he will be employed for some
time in doing the plumbing in the club
rooms at tbat place. We understand
that the rooms are about completed and
that they reflect much credit on the
town.
. The Christian chnrch was again taxed
to ita utmost capacity, last.night. At
tbe close of the sermon four were added
to the church, making twenty-seven in
two weeks. Tonight Elder Boltz will
take for his theme "Mind Your Own
Business." i
The Ontario News says that A. J.
QuackenbuBb dug a well on his ranch in
Malheur county, a short time ago. "He
dug 82 feet and struck gravel. After go
ing down three feet in the gravel he un
earthed1 the remains of a prehistoric an
tmal. Tha bona was examined,' and it
was concluded to be the second bone of
thn thnmh o'f a man : If so. the man
was at least 23 feet tall. ,
Thu hleh scores for .the past week at
the Umatilla House alleys were as fol
lows: Monday, F. Pundt 60; Tuesday,
J. Benton 59; Wednesday, F. Pundt 64
Thursday, N. Sicnott, 50; Friday, A
Johnson 46; Saturday, J. McCoy 54
Sunday, Estebennet 58.

mercial and Athletic Clab will be held
in Schanno's hall, over Brown's grocery
store, to consider the matter of giving a
minttrpl and vaudeville show in-the
near fnture. All members of the club
are expected to be present.
The high scores for the week ending
veaterdav were as follows at tbe club
alleys": Monday, Nolan and Tolmie,
61 ; Tuesday, Ketchuin 57; Wednesday,
Bonn, Sr., 53; Thursday, Phillips 55;
Friday, Menefee 61 ; Saturday, Hostett
ler 54 ; Sunday, T. J. Seafert 52.
Parties who attended the meeting of
the Northwestern Fruit Growers Asso
ciation state that Wasco county bad the
finest display of fruit on exhibition
This is" flattering for oar county and
should encourage our fruit-growers in
their effort to raise fruit second to bone
in the land.
Workmtn are putting in the stone
crosswalk between French s bank and
tbe Commission Co.'a today, and from
all appearances it will be a great im
provement over the old style plank
walks. Tbey cost about $5 each, but
they last much longer' and are in need
of little or no repairs, making them
cheaper in tbe end.
The attendance at the M. E. church
yesterday, both morning and evening
sevices, were very good. The subject
of tbe evening discourse was, Tbe second
coming of Christ to judge the world in
righteousness. This coming will be in
all His glory, attended by His heavenly
hosts. Tbe eternal destiny of all men
will then be fixed according to their
works, whether they be good or evil,
Three persons were received into tbe
church. The meetings will continue
daring tbe week, commencing at 7 :30.
A most cordial invitation and ' welcome
is extended to all persons.

Dr. Lannerberg wishes to inform bis

to call on him.
Sheriff Matlock of Morrow county
went down on the boat this morning.
He had in charge a crazy man, whom
he was taking to tbe asylum in Salem.
He was accompanied by one of the
friends of the insane man.
Attention is called to tbe fact that in
all school districts throughout the coun
ty special meetings for levying school
tax, nnder the new law, must be held
during the month of January and the
returns sent to the county clerk on or
before February 1st. '
This morning the pile-driver crew
moved down the road to bridge 144, be
tween tunnels No. 1 and 2, near Mosier,
where they will do some repair work on
tbat bridge. In n couple of weeks they
will be back to this place to drive piles
for tbe o- R- & N. wharf and incline,
opposite the coal bunkers. ' ' "
Today we received a letter from Tygb
Valley stating that a fifty-barrel floor
mill, made by the Case Co. of Colum
bus, Ohio, for F. S. Gordon of Tygb is
now in operation, giving perfect satis
faction. This is a complete mill in
every respect, having a redaction and
flow system identical in every detail
with the system of the largest mills
made.- -
A large and interesting meeting of the
minstrel boys, was held last night.
Harry Lonsdale was elected chairman
and committees appointed to arrange
different matters so that work can be
began as soon as possible. Nothing def
finite can be said, however, until the
committees iytve performed .the tasks
imposed npon tbem and ' reported con
cerning tbe same. '
J. B. Ivey, collector" of customs for
Alaska, passed through this city on last
night's train. He has just returned
from a 4000-mile trip up the Alrskan
coast, and tells some ' fabulous
stories about that country. - He . says
tbat it' will take a century at least to
folly explore and prospect that land of
wealth. Mr. Ivay is at present on his
way to Washington to attend to some
government affairs.
We understand tbat Charles Kohler
of this place, who is making prepara
tions to go to Klondike, haB chosen to
buy his supplies at home, rather than in
.Portland, and Pease & Mays were kept
busy , yesterday getting his : outfit to
gether. Price lists have been sent here
by persons' who have gone to Portland
to get outfits, and the manner in which
the merchants of that place charged for
goods was outrageous. Oat merchants
have everything that anyone contem
plating a trip to tbe gold fields could de
sire, and persons getting outfits would
do well to buy at borne, for Portland
merchants have little scruples about
overcharging strangers. We hope that
people In this vicinity will take advan
tage of these suggestions, and in this
way save money and at tbe same time
patronize our home merchants,
A letter was received from I) Rother
mie, who, was in jail in this place a few
years ago for several offenses, and who,
before he left, succeeded in duping a
number of our townspeople in a remark
ably smart manner, in which he states
that be is in tbe queen's service in Mel
bourne, Australia, and that he has an
abundance of funds. He states further
that he intends sending money to pay
np all the debts which he left unsettled
which cews will be encouraging to some
of our people to whom be owed consider
able sums.
A private letter was received yester
day from Jobn Arndt, who is at present
in Seattle, and whom many of oar peo
pie will remember, since he was for a
number of years engineer at The Dalles
Packing Company's cannery near this
place. He states tbat he is going to
leave for the Alaska gold fields in a short
time and before be goes he intends call
ing oh his Dalles friends. He wants
number, of dogs weighing over sixty
pounds, and persons having such live
stock to dispose of would do well to see
him. "
THE ELKS' BALL.
Bills Allowed.
Tha Great Social Event of tfce Winter-
Large Crowd and a Flae Time.
The saying tbat tbe Elks never do
anything by halves was never better
verified than Friday night at the grand
charity ball. We spoke a few days ago
concerning the decorations, ana since
that time many improvements were
made in that line, so tbat tbe hall
offered a more beautiful appearance than
we predicted. Especially artistic was
tbe stage decoration, the back of which
represented a forest, with elk browsing
among tbe trees, lbe front was Dor
dered with palms and potted plants,
in the center of which was a large elk's
head, while from each antler was bang
electric lights. In the center of tbe
stage was seated the orchestra, and
everyone present not only enjoyed the
playing, but had a pride that such music
could be furnished by our home musi
cians. Many of the latest popular airs
were played, giving renewed zest to the
dancing. :
Tbe lights were, with a few excep
tions, purple, and tbe soft light cast by
the many-colored globes had a very
pretty effect.
Tbe grand march commenced at a few
minutes past 9, and about a hundred
couples kept time to . the delightful
music played by Birgfeld's orchestra.
The march was led by Mr. and Mrs.
Geo. Blakeley, under tbe supervision of
Mr. Phillips. It was beautifully ar
ranged, and from beginning to end there
was not a blunder worthy of note. Tbe
floor was well filled with dancers, bat it
could not be said that it was crowded to
the extent tbat dancing was not pleas
ant ; on the contrary, everyone seemed
to enjoy it to the fullest extent.
With scarcely a single exception the
ladies who danced were attired in beau
tiful full dress costumes, while the ma
jority 'of the gentlemen appeared in
evening dress, so that the ball was as
admirable in this regard as in others.
It was remarkable how many who
usually do not care to dance, were so
highly enthused tbat night.. No matter
what the number was, whether a two-
step, a waltz, a lancers or a schottiscbe,
everyone joined in, and it was this
spirit that made the party tbe enjoyable
event and tbe social sucdess tbat it
was.
The Elks deserye much credit for the
pains tbey took in making the ball
what it was, and surely they must feel
more than repaid by tbe success of tbe
party." From a financial standpoint we
can say nothing regarding it, since no
report has yet been made ; but we can
remark emphatically that it' was in
every regard a social success, and a
flattering one.
1 Another Interesting: Meeting;.
The meetings at tbe M. E. chnrch are
growing steadily in interest. A very
quiet, attentive audience listened last
night to the sermon by tbe pastor, who
took for bis text "Tbe word is nigh thee,
even in thy mouth and in thy heart ;
that is, the word of faith which we
preach.", The preacher said : - "This is
a progressive age. "Many are saying,
"Show as some new thing." What of
this. Christ? .. -, Tbey would tbat one
should . ascend into heaven to bring
Christ down, or descend into tbe deep to
bring Christ up. By their theories men
blind themselves to the fact tbat God
has put in every heart sufficient knowl
edee to ': lead tbe way to Himself. If
they would follow the light that is their's
by birthright, it would reveal tbe Christ,
tbe Anointed. . Tbe horjest heart in
penitence crips out for a promise, and
always finds one sufficient for his help.
The word of faith preached by Paul is
this: "If thou shall confess with thy
month the Lord Jesus ; and shall believe
in thy heart tbat God hath raised him
from the dead, thou shalt be saved."
God is no respecter of person, "For the
same Lord over all is rich onto ail that
call npon his name."
Nearly all present responded to the
call to come around the altar that they
might receive the blessing from' tbe
Lord. .'

DEFENSE VIRTUALLY GIVING UP.

DEATH OF MRS. MARY LAUGHLIN
Passes Away Peacefully at

Her Hons
.
Counsel for E." Killfeather and I. H.
Taffe, on trial for conspiring to corrupt
ly influence a petit jury, and. for con
spiring to defraud the United States by
endeavoring to seenre an exorbitant ver
dict in the Cehlo boat railway right-of-way
condemnation proceedings, virtu
ally threw up the eponge yesterday, in
refusing to put the defendants on the
etand.- Since J. W. Walker entered a
plea of guilty, the defendants have had
but little ground to stand on, and this
t i j i , .. .. I
hmo ukku uemonstraiea ov tne tactics
pursued, by their counsel.
The greater part of yesterday after
noon was dnvoted to the teetimony cf C,
S. Brattan, the juror who first confessed
to the crime of having accepted a bribe
from Taffe, and J. W. Walker, whose
plea of guilty created consternation in
the camp of the defense at the opening
of court yesterday morning. Brattan
again rehearsed the details of his meet
ing with Taffe, Walker and Kilifeather
in the back room of a ealoon, and to the
agreement entered into by ' him with
Killfeather and Taffe to use their influ
ence to secure a large verdict in consid
eration of $5000.
Walker is the man who brought Taffe,
the alleged bribe-giver, and Brattan
and Killfeather, tbe alleged bribe-takers,
together. He drew up the notes that
operated as a contingent consideration
and in a general way engineer the deal
His testimony, though varying in de
tails, was largely in corroboration of the
Btory told by Brattan.
Before tbe attorneys commenced with
their argument, the court ruled that the
objection to the first count in the indict
ment alleging conspiracy to corruptly
influence a jury would be sustained, and
that consequently this charge need not
be considered by the jury. Judge Julius
C. Moreland made the opening argn
ment on behalf of tbe government. He
was followed by Attorney Rufas Mai-
lory for the defense, and United States
Attorney Hall will conclude the argu
ment in bebalt of the prosecution.
Portland Evening Telegram.
A special bulletin received today says
that the jury brought in a verdict in tbe
above case of guilty of the crime as
charged.

At 2 o'clcck Tuesday morning Mrsw.
Mary Laughlin, widow of William C.
Laughlin, passed away peacefully at her
home, on the corner of Third and Jeffer
son streets, in this city.
Mrs. Laughlin must be reckoned as
one of the early, if not the earliest, pio
neers of the county. She came here
with her husband in 1850, they having
crossed the plains in tbe usual manner
of those early day?, and first took up a
claim near Crate's- Point, but tbe next
year tbey abandoned it and moved to
Hood River. la 1S53 they moved to
The Dalles, where Mr. Laughlin located
a claim, on which the present eaet end
of this city is built.
She was 80 years of age, having been
born in Shelby county, Kentucky, Janu
ary 28, 1818. In 1832 she moved to
Qaincy, Illinois, with her parents,
and was married to William C. Laugh
lin in that place in 1840. Shortly after
tbeii marriage tbey settled in Missouri,
where their three children were born
Mrs. Elizabeth Lord and Mr. B. F.
Laughlin, of this place, and James
Laughlin, who was drowned in the Co
lumbia some twenty years ago.
T v T Ll! .
-iub viijjr wua ixira. j-iuuguuu une oi
the oldeBt residents in The Dalles, but
one of tbe most respected, and rever
enced, and as one by one these early
pioneers leave us, we feel the loss keen
ly, as to them it seems we were wont to
look for guidance. It is always sad to
eee the young cut down in early man
hood and womanhood; but even more
do we miss the gray-haired mothers and
fathers who have been with as so long a
time. ,
The funeral will take place from her
residence at 2 o'clock today (Wednes
day. Friends of tbe family ara invited -
to attend.
. In Olden Times.
People overlooked the importance of
