At the annual school meeting held at
Waeco Monday, R. P. Orr was re-elected
director, and C. J. Bright, clerk.
The lumber for the new flouring mill
which is to be built at Wasco, was re
ported on the ground yesterday. The
foundation is completed, and Mr. Scholl
expects to have the carpenters commence
work in a day or two.
Since the roads have dried up and
are in good shape for teaming, much
ot the wheat that was not hauled in last
fall is being brought to market, and as
coon as the farmers finish sowing their
spring crops the amount will greatly in
crease. .
The case of Albert Nelson vs. Otto
Birgfeld was at iseue before Justice Fil
loon this morning. The date rt bearing
was set for the 18th Inst. Reger B. Sin
sott will appear as attorney for the
plaintiff. The attorney for the defend
ant has not yet been selected.
Five carloads of fine beef cattle were
unloaded and fed at Saltmarshe & Co.'s
stock yards today. They are on their
way from Baker City to the Portland
yards, and being in splendid condition,
will undoubtedly command a high price.
They were shipped by W. Woods of
Baker City.
Sealed bids for the contract for furnish
ing the pipe to be used in putting in the
tbe 1200 feet of 6-inch main on eaH
Second street, were this morning con
sidered by the water committee, and the
contract awarded to Maier. & Benton,
their price being (26 50 per ton. This
maine is a needed improvement, as the
water pressure in the East End hereto
fore has been very poor. '
Arrangements are being made today
for an excursion from Portland to The
Dalles on Sunday, May 8th. Mr. X. N.
Steves and Mr. Orton are in the city
making arrangements for tbe same. In
the Red Men's excursion of last year
sufficient, cars con Id not be secured in
: Portland to carry all who wished to
come, .and there is no reason why this
should not beeqnally as well patronized.
Last night the 2 year-old daughter of
H.B.Brown, of 5-Mile, foond a bottle
of atropia, which is a deadly poison, and
drank, it is supposed, about four grains.
As soon as possible she was brought to
Dr. Hollister for treatment, and is at
. present out of danger. Her recovery
was almost miraculous, as 1-100 of a
grain would have been a fair-sized dose.
She muBt have thrown np almost the
entire amount, else it certainly would
have proven fatal.

morning, Frederick Kinder, an employe
at the Pendleton woolen mills, fell over
on the table dead. He was happy all
evening, and had just come from a dance
of the Cactus Club at Armory ball. Two
or three hands of a game were played,
when Kinder suddenly placed his hands
to bis hands to his head, exclaimed,
"My, but I'm dizzy 1" He sunk on the
toble, gasped for a moment, and all was
over. He was 26 years old, unmarried,
a man of jovial disposition, and never
drank a drop.
Last evening when tbe Sons of Vete
rans were holding their usual meeting
they were aroused by a violent knock
ing on the outer door, and from the dis
turbance concluded that they were at
tacked by tbe "sewer gang" or a detach
ment of Spaniards. Upon thorough
investigation, however, they were
agreeably surprised at seeing that their
aggressors were none other than the
Relief Corps and the G. A. R., with well
filled baskets of good things. The in
truders were allowed to enter without
tbe pass word, and a splendid lunch was
spread, and delightful time was bad by
all who were fortunate 'enough to be
present.
"The blustering boreas did encrocbe
and beat opon the solitarie Brere," thus
sang tbe poet of olden time, but yester
day there was more truth than poetry
in this saying, for old Boreas got frolic
some and made Dalles real estate move
faster than ever did Tbe Dalles Real Es
tate Exchange. Old Dad Butts, bow
ever, was np with tbe pace set by old
Boreas, and while Boreas only moved
the surface Butts moved everything from
tbe sky to the center of the earth on one
or two pieces of property. Butts has
the bargains that make property move,
and be does not depend on Boreas or tbe
co-operation of anyone else to assist him
In making sales. A Jew more bargains
left for those who come early.
Last evening's meeting of tbe Eastern
Star was an unusually pleasant one.
Quite a number were present, and after
tbe general order of exercises the ladies
determined to give their husbands a
practical lesson, showing just how much
labor has to be expended in constructing
the much talked-otand expensive spring
bonnet. Accordingly, each gentleman
was provided with an untrimmed hat
and materials for trimming itj with or
ders to make them look "swell." Amid
much laughter tbe task was completed,
when the ladies eat in judgment and
awarded Mr. A. S. Mac Allister the prize
for the most artistic work, discovering
too late that the trimming was not sub
stantial, but pinned on. Harry Clougb,
having less experience in that line, was
given the booby prize. All were then
ready for the banquet, which was great
ly enjoyed. .

This afternoon Bertba Glenn was clos
ing the safe in her father's office, when
in some way her thumb was cangbt be
tween the heavy door and the side of

very painful one, but she displays un
usual grit and considers It a mere trifle.

tbe attending physician says there is no
serious danger.
The committee which has been mak
ing arrangements . for tbe Red Men's
excursion, to take place on May 8th,
have bad splendid success and there is
nothing at present to prevent tbe excur
sion from coming off. It wiP be ran on
the same principle as that of last year,
leaving Portland in the morning and re
turning that night. Three trains, con
sisting of thirty-three cars will be furnished-
by tbe railroad company and
they will undoubtedly be crowded with
people.
A special council meeting was held
last night and the following ordinances
were passed. A special ordinance for
the repair of Court street between Main
and Second and another ordinance for
the repair of the entire length of Union
street from Main to Twelfth. Tbe coat
of tbe above improvements will be as
sessed on tbe property owners along
those streets, and as they are badly in
need of repairs it is a commendable
move on the part of the council to put
them in shape.
This morning a dozen of the finest
Plymouth Rock chickens we have ever
seen arrived at the express office for M.
A. Moody, from George Goodhue, of Sa
lem. While they are young chickens
they are quite large. The -admirable
feature of this grade of fouls is that tbey
grow very rapidly, and can be marketed
for the highest price when but a few
montns old. Mr. Moody'intends send
ing these chickens to his farm on Tygb
Ridge, and acts wisely in securing tbe
best varieties tbat can be found.
Tbe young men of the Commercial

be one of the best things of the kind that
has been put .on in Tbe Dalles dur
ing the entire winter. They have
not decided yet as to the date when the
show will be put on, but in all probabil
ity it will not be before April 15th. The

paralelled performance, and tbey have
decided to have sufficient practice so
that tbey can put it on in a manner as
near .perfect as possible.

wishes, it it is promised that he shall

employment. His conceptions are usu
ally applied to things practical, and are
pictured in a catchy way. His latest

determination.

A KLONDIKE-BOOMER IN JAIL.
What Befell Mrs. A. T.
Pittsburg:.
Brodbeck In
Mrs. A. T. Brodbeck, a rich widow, of
Southern Oregon, and her Alaskan pro
tective scheme have come to grief in
Pittsburg, Pa.
It is charged that the charming widow
has been fleecing innocents of the smoky
city. Her traveling companion was a
young man of Portland and, it seems,
he gave the snap away, and tbe Pitts
burg police are much exercised trying to
find out whether Mrs. Brodbeck's cre
dentials are all she .represents them to
be. Mrs. Brodbeck is under arrest. Her
companion has desappeared. Tbe
charge against her is having defrauded
an applicant for a position with
her promoting scheme out of $250
a deposit required "as a guarantee of
good faith."
Tbe news will startle a large number
of Portland people. Mrs. Brodbeck was
formerly a school teacher and claims ac
quaintanceship with many prominent
people of Portland and this state. The
most dangerous feature about her pres
ent plight at Pittsburg is that she has
taken advantage of a number ot letter s
which are in her possession and wbi h
are indorsements from Oregonians not
of her Klondike company, by tbe way,
but of men who acted as directors foi
Mrs. Brodbeck's ALASKA MUTUAL
AID & PROTECTIVE ASSOCIATION.
The widow makes use of such names as
Judge M. C. George, of the circuit court,
State Senator Brownell, Gordon E.
The
"RUSHFORD
Is the most desirable
Wagon on the Market.
It is not as cheap as some others, but is better than all
others. This is abroad 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.

A quiet wedding took place last even
ing at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. H.

none but a few relatives and intimata
friends of the young people were pres
ent. The rooms were appropriately deco
rated for the occasion, and the event
was made a very happy one. Lunch

joined in the heartiest of congrgtuhv
tions to the newly-married couple.
Miss Deming is an adopted daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Biggs, and is a very
bright and accomplished young lady.
During the few years she has made this
citv her home she has gained many

Mr. Bunker has lived here for a num
ber of years, and is known to eve-yone
as a good, sober and reliable young man.
He has been employed in the Diamond
Mills for several years, and has won thar
esteem of his employers during that
time.
Tbe young couple will make thefr

friends, as well as Thb Chronicle ex
tends congratulations and best wishes)
to them both.
Yesterday being the twenty -ninth an
niversay of the marriage of. Mr. and

it the occasion of a double wedding.
No objection was made by Mr. and Mrs.
Biggs, both declaring tbat having felt
no regret since the event which occured
twenty-nine years ago, they were mora
than anxious to spend their remaining
years together.
