A rumor is afloat today that th6 O. R.

everyone wears a shamrock, a green tie,

The motion for arrest of judgment
snd motion for a new trial in the case of
the United States vs. I. H. Taffe and Ed
Killfeather, who were some time since
convicted of conspiring to influence the
jury in the case of the United States vs.
I. H. Taffe to return a verdict awarding
exorbitant damages for the condemna
tion of right of way for the Celilo boat
railway, were argued before Judge Bel
linger Taesday. The motion that judg
ment be not entered against defendants
upon the verdict returned in the case is
made on the ground that the indictment
upon which said defendants were tried,
and upon which said verdict Is based,
does not charge any crime against said
defendants, or either of them. The mo
tion to set aside the verdict and grant a
new trial is based on the following
grounds : "Insufficiency of evidence to
justify a verdict ; . the verdict is against
errors in law occurring at the trial and
duly excepted . to by the defendant."
R. Mallory appeared for the defendants,

was $3 70 per head. '
Some people eat to live; others live to
eat. To either class there is an attrac
tiveness about wholesome, pure grocer
ies. With either class there is a desire
fur the most substantial food for the
least possible outlay. Pease & Mays
supply both clas-es. A glance at the
display of cured and canned fish in their
window will confirm 83 in this state
ment. Persons riding bicycles should remem
ber that the law strictly forbids riding
on the side-valks, and every time- they
do eo they put themselves in a position
to be fined for the violation of this law.
On account of the number who ride at
night it is also neceesary to have a lan
tern, otherwise the marshal will be
forced to act in accordance, with the
measure.
The amount of wheat which is being
hauled from the interior is increasing
daily, and the employes of of the several
warehouses are kept busy unloading
freight from the carp, loading it on the
interior-bound freight wagons, and
handling the wheat. Today was the
first day that we have Been a string of
teams lined up at the warehouses await
ing their turn to load or unload, since
last fall.
A stranger, who is evidently unbal
anced mentally, ha9 been in tbe city for
several days. He represented himself
to Deputy Sheriff Kelly as a deputy from
Walla Walla, anil induced that worthy
official to show him through the jail and
treat him with all the respect due to a
fellow deputy, before he found oat that
he was being doped by a freak. The
same party made a contract with Salt-
marshe to feed fifteen carloads of cattle,
and by this and other like actions his
real condition was learned.
This morning an altercation arose be
tween Charles Nenberger, of this place
and a gambler from Montana, wbiuh
terminated in Neuherger being knocked
down and haudled rather ronghly at the
bands, or rather feet, of bie aggressor,
wtio kicked him in the mouth, loosen
ing several of bis teeth, and cut his lip
open so that it was neceesary to have
six stitches put in the same. Nenber
ger has sworn out a warrant for tbe ar
rest of tbe man who did the kicking, and
at present Constnble Hill is on bis trail
and will bring bim to justice if he can
be found.
It seems to be entirely out of the
question for some teamsters in the city
to have any regard as to how or where
they drive. At times two teams will
take up an entire street, and the driv
ers do not seem to realize that they are
making just as good time by driving
over behind the other as they do by
driving two or three abreast. There is a
side for teams going in either direction,
and they ehonld see that tbey observe
Kthe rules and keep on their respective
sides. They may thus make-it more
agreeable and safer for others riding
or driving along the street.
United States Deputy Surveyor Dep
uty Surveyor Jacob' Richardson snd
County Surveyor William F. Byars bave

tat, where they finished blocking oat
work on tbe Goldendale and Lyle wagon
road. They report that rapid progress
bas been made on tbe Klickitat grade.
It is now believed Klickitat-county
wool-growers may avail themselves of
the new road to the boat landing at
Lyle, and the people of this city should
awake to the importance of keeping the
road leading to tbe ferry across tbe river
in perfect condition so that Lyle may.

The pupils of Miss Eliot gave their
final mneicale at the home of Miss
Myrtle Michell last evening. As each
member of the class invited three of
tbeir relatives or friend?, quite a num
ber were present to -enjoy tbe singing
and note tbe improvement made by
each. Solos were sung by nearly every
one, of them, and during tbe evening
Miss Eliot and Miss Stevens gave selec
tion?, which were highly appreciated.
Ice cream' and cake were served after
tbe - program had bt-en rendered, and
after spending a time in, social converse,
the pupils and friends bade Miss Eliot
good bye, wbhing Ler success and hap
piness w berever her lot may be cast.
A bloody fcobo battle took place late
Monday afternoon near the Great North
ern railway shops in Hillyard. Fully
a dozen, of the worst type of tbe genus
hobo were driven out of Spokane, and
upon reaching Hillyard began to get
drunk. They teemed to have plenty of
money, gold watches, knives, mors,
spectacles, jewelry, etc., and whisky and
beer, soon began to flow their way. In j
theGermania tbey bought some liquor
and stole a fancy bar bottle of whhky.
In the fight that took place, one tramn
lost an ear and another's scalp was
split open for several inches. Others
were bruised and battered and their
clothes were literally torn In shreds.
A MUSICAL TREAT.
Miss Eliot and Miss Stevens Delight an
Appreciative Audience.
A good-sized audience of intelltctual,
music-loving people attended the rau
sicale given by Miss Eliot and Miss
Stevens, under the supervision of the
ladies of the Good Intent Society ,atK. of
P. hall Wednesday night. It was a treat
tfhich Dalles people failed not to enjoy,
and every number seemed to be fully
appreciated, as the audience listened
breathlessly for fear of losing a single
tone.
The program was opened with a duet
by the two young ladies, whose voices
harmonize perfectly, although of an en
tirely different quality. Especially
beautiful was tbe closing duet, which
gave scope for showing to the best ad
vantage just how thoroughly they both
understand the art of nsing the voice.
A trippU quartet by the ladies of Miss
Eliot's class was very pretty and they
were compelled to answer to an ethusi-
astic encore. .
Although the people of our citv have
considered themselves fortunate in hav
ing Miss Eliot as an instructor of these
who before had no opportunity of hav
ing tbeir voices cultivated, and have al
ways been anxious to hear. her sing, yet
they realized more fully last night what
it has been to have her with us. The
beauty ot Miss Eliot's singing lies not
alone in the sweetness and clearness of
her tones, bnt in. the easy nionerxf
their execution and the freedom from
all affectation. To Bingle out any of her
selections as being the best would be
impossible, as each was a gem.
The regret at the loss of Miss Eliot as
a teacher will not be felt so keenly when
it is understood that her place is to be
filled by one who acquitted herself as
did Miss Stevens last night, showing
that she is a master of her profession and
competent instructor. Since Miss
Stevens' former, appearance in our city,
we have looked upon her as a pianist
of great merit; knowing nothing of tbe
excellence of her voice. However its
sweetness and range impressed every
one favorably as a revelation of her
ability in that line, and all are pleased
that we are to bave her with us.
Tbe musicale was a success in every
particular, leaving a pleasant memory
with the audience
THE DEDICATION.
Impressive Services Held , Tbnrsday
Sermon by Archbishop Gross.
The dedication of the new Catholic
church took place last Thursday. The
eerviced were conducted by Archbishop
Gross, assisted by Rev. Verbag, of Ba
ker City, Father Bronsgeest, of this
city, and Father Bohler, of Oregon City.
After the service Archbishop Gross
preached one of his elcquent sermons, in
which he paid tribute tbe life and virtue
of the patron of the church, Saint
Peter. He aUos poke at some length on St.
Patrick, on whose feast day the dedica
tion took place.
. In conclusion he expressed his sur
prise and pleasure at the splendid edifice
which the people of The Dalles have
been so liberal in contributing toward.
High mass was eung by Rev. Father
Verhag assisted by Fathers Bronsgeest
and Bohler, as deacon and sub-deacon,
while Wigande mass, in honor of Saint
Patrick, was sung by the choir, accom
panied by Birgfelds orchestra.
The ceremonies throughout were beau
beautifuland impreesive,and very large
ly attended by people ot the varions re
ligious denomications.so that the edifice,
large at it is, was unable to furnish
standing room for all who were in at
tendance. Tbe people of The Dalle may justly
feel proud of tbe new structure, as it is
a beautiful building throughout, and not
only is credit due to the members of the
church, but still more to the people out
side, whope kindnt-es and liberality has
done so much toward making it what it
is.
