Spokane train was forced to go round
ia Pendleton, which delayed it about
two boars. It arrived shortly before
soon in place of the usual time.
W. H. Moore, the general manufactur
ing carpenter and undertaker of Dnfar,
was in the city and made us a pleasant
call today. Undertaking is a new line
of business in that vicinity, and as there
is a large section of country around Da

should not do well in it.

E.E. Lytle and D. C. O'Eiley, presi
dent and general manager, respectively,
of the Columbia Southern railroad, say
that twentv miles more of their road will
be completed this summer. They have
no idea of going to Alaska, as the conn
try their road "runs through is licher
than Klondike, and the - gold can be
turned np with a gang plow. They have
also some idea of starting a stock farm,
tin the plan suggested by taeir old friend
J. D. Woodworth, of the O. E. & N..
whose ideas they immagine they can
successfully carry put.
. Considerable excitement' was caused
in Colfax at an early bonr Friday morn
ing by the report that two of William
Codd's sons bad been Kidnaped. Mrs.
Codd entered the bedroom of her two
sons and found the bed empty and the
boys gone. - She gave the alarm and a
searching party , was ' organized, and.
after diligent search, the boys were
found near the home of their grand
mother, coasting. The boys bad awak

arrived, arose, dressen and set' out to

when their absence was discovered.
The A. O. 0. W. and Degree of Honor

coming of their distinguished guest,
Past Supreme Master Tate, wbo will de
liver an address here on Saturday even

ing local talent, will be rendered and

License to wed was issued this morn
ing to William D. Martin an'd Dorcie M.
Hollett, both of this place.
There is no truth in the report that
the people of Harney county are indig
nant at the action of Judge Lewis in ad
mitting Edward Oliver, the man wbo
shot Peter French, to bail, or that the
bond is a straw one. . As the prosecu
tion presented a weak case, no other ac
tion was possible. The bondsmen are
among the best business men and lead
ing stockmen of the country, wbo could
raise the amount of the bond at any
time on short notice.
As an outfitting point for the Klon
dike The Dalles cannot be excelled.
This has been proven in a number of
instances. The latest is that of one of
our citizens who is about to start a hotel
in the Klondike and who naturally sup
posing he could fit himself out to better
advantage in Portland, made a. trip to
the metropolis for that purpose. As be
purchased a large bill of goods from
Peaee & Mays this morning, one item
of was sixty-one pairs of blankets and
comiorters, the conclusion is apparent.
The ladies of the Good Intent Society
bad a very pleasant meeting yesterday
afternoon at the borne of Mrs. W. A.
Kirby. About twenty ladies were pres
ent, and as it was the anniversary of
the hostess1, birth, the meeting took
upon itself the form of a party. The
society Dresented Mrs. Kirby with a
very pretty birthday gift as a token of
their appreciation of her faithfulness in
the work. During the afternoon a sur
prise in the way of a tempting lunch
was served to the guests, and the best of
good will prevailed throughout the en
tire meeting.
This morning James Thrall of this
place, met one of his old ' schoolmates,
Alex Bruce, of Woodstock, Ontario, as
he was passing through, on his way to
Portland. Mr. Brace's object in going
is to join the Alaska relief expecition
which will start in a short time. It has
been years since Mr. Thrall had seen
his old friend, but at a glance thev rec
ognized each other, and it is unnecessary
to.say that the short space of time the
train stopped in this city was not suf
ficient for them to begin to tell a fraction
of what each bad to say after these
years of separation.

offered by the visiting team are very
reasonable, and a good game would cer
tainly be played. There is but one
thing required, and that is an assurance
that the game will be sufficiently pat
ronized to pay all expenses. In order
to do this a committee should take the
matter in hand and investigate the
same, and we are certain that a guaran
tee can be given to the boys, and if this
is done the game will come off. .As the
town is very dull at present, a little ex
citement of this kind would liven up
things, and we are sure that everyone
would apppreciate a foot-ball game very
much. ;

Afterwards all repaired to the dining

pleasantly, and on leaving all voted that

Women Find Them Very 1'seful In
Suppressing- "Crowders.
"That hat riiin," said a young woman
on the elevated, as sihe arranged her
headgear, reports the Chicago Times-
Herald, "has been steeped in gore!"
"How aiwful!" whispered her friend.
"Was it employed on a burglar?"
"No; on a crowder." j
"A what?" ,
"A crowder is a creature who is pe
culiarly a Chicago product. I certain
ly never met him in any other city.
He is the man who getsinto a car where
every seat is occupied and crowds him
self into the merest scrap of room be
tween two persons; generally two wom
en, who dare -not resent his imperti
nence. Then- he coolly reads a news
paper." "I've met the specimen often, but
what cari.you do?" inquired the friend.
"Well." said the athletic young wom
an, "if I had been a men I would have
bounced him from the car. But in that
case he would not have crowded. I dare
say I 'looked as meek a Moses, but I
had a scheme to get even and I worked
it. I took out my hat pin and gave Mr.
Crowder a jab." -
"Did he jump?" '
"Xot at first, eo I jabbed again. The
f-ar gave a lurch and he yelled "Mur
der!' in the first degree and rushed out
and ofl without asking the cond uetor bo
stop. I'm glad I saved the bat pin, as
I -may need it again," she concluded,
sweetly, as she impaled her head with
the vicious thing..

Unknown Body Identified.
At Hood Eiver on the 10th day of last
October an inquest was held over a body
that floated np from the Columbia- river
and lodged on the beach just below
town. The body had been ia the water
for some time, and for that reason was
buried near the place where the inqneet
was beld. The circumstances bad been
almost forgetten. However, a young
man from Hood Eiver was visiting at
the home of Mrs. Frederick Foster in
Portland a short time ago and learned
that the husband and father had not
been heard from since the 27th of last
September, at which time he was in
Pendleton and about to start home. The
young man told the family that some
thing must have happened to him, and
then thought of the body that had been
buried at Hood . Eiver without being
identified. When be returned home a
picture of Mr. Foster was brought with
him, and the men who composed the
coroner's jury thought it the missing
man. : ' .
.Last Monday Mrs. roster came up
from Portland to have the body ex
humed. All day Tuesday and until II
o'clock; Wednesday was put in in search
ing for the body before it was found,
the water being high and the grave not
distinctly marked. Mrs. Foster identi
fied the body as that of her husband by
be clothing.
The remains were taken charge of by
the Masons, of which order he was
member, and given proper burial in
llewilde cemetery Wednesday after
noon. Mrs. foster returned to Port
land today, where she will no longer
listen for the footstep that is never to
come.
Mr. Foster owned an interest in a
mine near Baker City, and bad been
there doing the assessment work on the
same. V
Prospect o f a Mine Here.
Thursday's Daily.
A bulletin received from Portland to
day states that a rich coal strike has
been made near this place. This may
all be, but the people ot this place are
unconscious of any such good fortune,
and we believe -that the originator of the
report was mistaken at least, and in all
probability suffering from a more Berions
malady.
It is true that for a number of years
some of our business men have been
prospecting near Cbenoweth creek, and
that they are having the farmers - in
that section grant them the rights and
privileges to any mineral claim that
they may locate. The company that is
doing the prospecting does not own the
land, and it is no more than right that
they who spend money in this venture
should benefit by it, and that the prop
ertyowners should grant them the right.
If this is done a shaft will be sunk, and
if coal mines, or mines of any descrip
tion, are to be found, they will be opened
up as soon as possible, and it will prove
a great help to our city,' as well as the
community at large.
It lies in the powtr of some of our
citizens to help this project along, ad
we hope they will not be slow in eo do
ing. .'''' '
The
"KUSHFOflD
Is the most desirable
"Wagon on the Market.
It is not as cheap as some others, but is better than all
others. This is a broad assertion, but examine the wagon
and you will agree with us. It, is constructed from carefully
selected material, and it is the aim of the manufacturers oj
make the best Wagon on the market.
It has more improvements and points of superiority
than we can enumerate here. If you are thinking of getting
a new Wagon, examine the "RUSHFORD " before buying.

Death of D. L. Da Wolfe.
Daniel L. De Wolfe, a former resident
of this place, died at Newball, Cal.,
Wednesday afternoon. Jess Crandall re
ceived a dispatch to this effect tht night
which' stated further ' that the remains
would be sent here for interment, and
requested him to meet them in Portland
Tbursday'nigbt. '
While in The Dalies Mr. De Wolfe
was engaged in the business of a car
penter and builder. A few years ago his
health began to fail and he and bis family
moved to California in the hope that
the mild climate of that state would
help him. . The change did not seem to
improve him and he continued to grow
weaker, until yeeterday the dread con
sumption claimed its victim.
He was about 35 years of age and was
a member of the .Workmen and Wood
men lodges of this pkce. He leaves a
wife and one child, a mother and a sis
ter to mourn his loss.
As yet the time for the funeral has
not been definitely set, but it will in all
probability take place Sunday afternoon
under the auspices of the Woodmen and
Workmen orders.
Fnneral of Mrs. Mary Langhlin.

tage of this last means of showing re
spect to their departed friend ' and
neighbor.

church, offered .prayer and the choir
sang two beautiful and appropriate selec
tions, "I Would Xot Live Alway" and
"Sweet the Hour of Closing Day." The

gational church, was brief, but con
tained many words ot consolation to the
bereaved ones.

were : Eobert Mays. Sr., S. L. Brooks,
John Marden, Ben Snipes, .John Cates
and George Such.
