A commercial club has been organized
at Moro, and this mornicg W. Hadley
went through the city on his way to
Taconia to purchase a doable set of
bowling alleys for the same. The peo-
. pie of Moro are enthused over the club.
and are taking great interest in helping
it along.

university, and B. J. Bretherton.of New
port, have associated themselves togeth
er for the purpose of carrying on the in
vestigations as to the fishing resources
of Taqnina bay from an economic and
scientific standpoint. The result of

. and distributed free by the state uni

Camp No. 3, E. W. Pike post. Sons of
Veterans, division of Washington, was
organized in Goldendale Tuesday even
ing. The muster-roll contains more
than forty names. Colonel W. W.
Sparks and Professor Paul Sutton, of
Vancouver, Wash., installed the elected
officers.
Since the football season is over the
baseball players of our city are talking of
organizing; a team that will be second to
none in Eastern Oregon, and if our boys
are successful in so doing we see no
reason why a series of interesting
games could not be played here during
the coming summer with- teams from
both sides of the mountains.
A. W. Stanton, buyer of sheepfrom
Montana, completed the purchase last
Saturday In Pendleton of 1600 head of
yearlings, 3,500 choice breeding ewes,
and 3,000 lambs, to be delivered a Uepp
ner after shearing. The ewes brought
$225 a head and the lambs $1.65. The
seller was R. F. Monroe, an extensive
sheepowner of Condon, Gilliam county-
.
The Indians are again making tbeir
visits to Morrow . county, some from
Umatilla and others from the Columbia.
During the past week they have brought
in to Heppner nearly 1000 pounds of
wool, which tbey have disposed of at fair
prices. Last season it is estimated that
over $2500 was paid to the Indiana for
wool and pelts, most of which tbey
gather on the range,, generally without
the consent of the owuer.
The Dalles Crystal Ice Company, of
this city, filed-its articles of incorpora
tion at the department of state Thurs
day. The papers name a capital of
$3000 divided into one hundred and fifty
$20 shares. Joseph Folcn, F.. Mathieu
and Ben Wilson are subscribing incor
porators. A cold storage is something
that The Dalles lacks, and there is no
reason why the project should not be
nelped along by our people.
One of the finest churches in Oregon
was dedicated Thursday and ' we
have the foundation started for the
finest school building in the state. Such
facts' as these ehoald -be sufficient for the
wise and induce everyone contemplating
a change to come and locate with ns.
Property can be bought very reasonable,
and especially so from the only .live real
estate agent In town, old Dad Butts. - A
hint to the wise is sufficient. tf
The man who assaulted Charlie Neu
burger yesterday morning was caught
and brought before Justice Filioon yes
terday. He gave his name as H. J.
Carney, and says be is from Sherman
county. Carney was a very-small and
not a dangerous-looking character, and
when the muscular Neu burger was com
. pared with the little Columbia Southern
section boss, the prosecution decided
that there could be no ease against the
defendant, and be was dismissed.
Frank Aldrich, of Arlington, visited
Goldendale yesterday. Mr. Aldrich is
one of the best posted men on the sheep
outlook' on the coast. He predicts fair
prices for wool and sheep, and says that
. with present protection continued,
sheepmen will prosper. He further
states that the sheepmen of East Klick
itat are in an .exceedingly j yful mood
over the light winter and the wonderful
promising outlook of tfie lambing sea
son, which will be in progress soon.
The hoe and dairv convention, was
brought to a close in Walla Walla pn

England is snrpiised that the United
States should t-xcile herself over Spain's
paper navy.
Latest reports state that President
McKinJey is almost broken down. He
is said to fear assays' nation and has fits
of despondency. The present crisis is
almost too much for him. '
The participants in the centennial cele
bration of the evening of St. Patrick's
day take this means of thanking Mayor
Nolan; also Jno. Donohue and J. M.
Toomey, for the eupply of refreshments
furnished for the occasion.
The following are the hig"b scores for
the week ending Sunday night, at the
Umatilla House bowling alleys : Mon

Wednesday, Maetz, 56 ; Thursday, Og-
dec, 51; Friday, Birgfeld, 58; Saturday,
Manning, 54; Sunday, Birgfeld, 55.
In 8 few davs an addition to the rear
of the building occupied by Blakeley
& Houghton, will be begun by French &
Co. Owing to the increase in business,
and consequently the increased stock of
goods which this firm is compelled to
carry, this additiion is very necessary.
The lambing season' is on in Morrow
county, and, if the present fine weather
continues, very little loss in lambs will
be Buffered. Everything at present in
dicates that 'the flock master will, the
coming year, enjoy an era of prosperity
unprecedented in the history ot the
country. '
What might have been a very dis
astrous fire started yesterday morning
in the reeidence occupied by Mrs. Wi th
em, on the corner of Fifth and. Court
streets. The blaze originated from a
defective flae, and when discovered the
roof Was afire. An alarm was immedi
ately turned in and in a remarkably
short time a powerful stream was play
ing on the roof and the blaza got under
control. It was very fortunate that the
firemen. were so prompt in responding to
the alarm, for if the fire gained any
headway in such a high wind, it would
have been next to impossible to save the
buildings on the south side of Fifth
street, east of the scene of the blaze.
Judging from the cool threatening
weather we had yesterday atternoon,
and the thin covering of snow which
fell during the early hours of this morn
ing, one would think that winter was
not yet over. The bright sunshine to
day dispelled this fear, however, and we
find ourselves in the full enjoyment of
spring weather.
Yesterday the morning passengers
bad a trouble in getting through the
sand east of this place. The early morn
ing train got stalled near Biggs, and the
engine from the Spokane local uncou
pled and went ahead to help them out.
In returning, this engine got off the
track, but no serious damage was done.
The trains passed through several hours
late.
The La Grande Chronicle says that
one of the physicians there reports that
there is danger of an epidemic of diph
theria at Alicel, in Union county, as a
young son of Henry Rnhl died of the
disease a few days ago, and during the
illness was visited by many neighbors.
The 4-year old child of J. H. Herford is
now down with" the disease, and the case
is' considered critical.
Sheepmen in Grant county are count
ing on a heavy crop ol wool tnis year,
their flocks having been kept in good
condition during the, past winter.
Should spfing weather prevail, shearing
would soon be general in that county, as
sheepmen are anxious to get their wool
ready for market and then wait tilt the
mountain roads between them and the
railroad become passable.
The original farce . comedy', "King
Hallabahoola.II," is surpassing the ex
pectations of everyone concerned, and it
is indeed encouraging to see with what
good spirit they boys all throw them
selves into their respective parts. In
all probability it will be put on immedi
ately after the lenten season, and unless
some changes are made later, the date
will be Toesday evening, April 12th.
, During the week ending yesterday at
the club alleys Xhe following scores were
made: Monday, Nolan, 66; Tuesday,
Houghton and Tolmie, 63 ; Wednesday,
J. F. Moore, 54: Friday, Sampson, 55;
Saturday, N. Sinnott, 53; Sunday, Brad
shaw, 72. On Thursday Mrs. Charles
Stephens held the board with a score of
38, while on Wednesday and Friday
Mrs. Theo. f-eufert scored 49 and 50 re
spectively. , .
i The bowling tournament between the
ladies of the Commercial Club and the
regular club team' will take place tomor
row evening. The ladies' team consists
of Mrs. T. J. Seufert, captain ; Mrs. G.
C. Blakeley, Mrs. M. T. Nolan, Mrs.
Fred Van -Norden, Misses Annie Lang )
and Alma Scbanno. A handicap of
ten pins will be givea each lady, or
sixty for the game. . But one game will
be played Tuesday night, owing to the
fact that there are many ladies who do
not have an opportunity to bowl on
other days,' and those bowling in the
tournament do not wish to take up the
alleys lender than it take to bowl one
matched game.'

This . morning's bulletin states, on
good authority, that a condensed report

Work was begun today on a new terry
boat for the Rockland Ferry Company,

This morning a messenger came in
from Endershy for - Dr. Hollistet. He
stated that Capt. Endersby of that place

feared the shock will be very bard on
hiiu.
John Temple Graves, editor of the

Maud Miller, who is visiting her un
cle, Charles Hilborn, in Coos county, is
a daughter of Joaquin Miller, the poet,
and at one time attracted attention on
the American stage as an actress, which
profession she followed for a number of
years. Miss Miller will probably make
Coos county her permanent home.
Last night we bad a heavy frost in this
place, and fears are entertained that
serious injury has been done to the early
fruits, especially peaches and 'apricots
Nothing definite, however, can be Baid
about this until later, as the trees are
just beginning to bud and- there are
hopes that no serious damage has been
done. .-'..'.
W. O. Hadley passed through the city
this morning on bis way to his home at
Moro. He has purchased the Olympic
double bowling alleys in-Tacoma for the
Moro Commercial Club. They will be
shipped to Moro as soon as possible and
put in place in the club rooms. ; It
speaks well for the enterprise of the
people of a town of- Moro's size to be so
liberal in putting in an expensive club
room.
The Sherman county Populist, Silver
Republican and Democratic convention
met at Moro Saturday. A joint confer
ence committee was appointed to ar
range for a fusion, and, so far as the di
vision 'of spoils was concerned,' the two
conventions had no trouble in agreeing.
The Populists, however, Insisted upon
the adoption of resolutions by the three
conventions in which tbeir entire plat
form was embodied, and this prevented
a fusion being effected.
Yesterday the Dalles Commission Co.,
of this city, started a carload of -potatoes
east. Joe Bonn, one of tbe partners in
the firm, informs - us that they are
shipped by them via. New Orleans to
the starving Cubans, in order to show
this company's liberality to those in
need.' We have always known Joe to be
a truthful young man whej speaking of
anything outside of a fishing trip, and
believe that the potatoes have really
gone to starving concentrados.
April 8th has been set aside as Arbor
day throughout the state of Oregon. It
is laid down in the school law that
teachers will observe 'the afternoon of
this day by appropriate exercises in
planting trees, beautifying school
grounds, anl inculcating lessons of
beauty and order into the minds of the
children. - Circulars and instructions
have been mailed to every district, and
it is hoped that every teacher will ' re
port the result of the day's work.
. Yesterday evening about fifteen min
utes before tbe usual lime for starting
up' the engines in the electric light
plant, the. gasket in the safety valve
pipe, where it connects with the bjiler.
blew out, and from that time until 8:30
stores and private residences in which
electricity 'was used were left in dark
ness. 'Nearly all tbe business houses
closed at 7 o'clock, while a tew brought
.the old style coal oil lamps into use for
the evening. Second street, indeed the
whole city, had a dismal appearance,
and by 8:30 o'clock, when the lights were
turned on, our citizens were all wonder
ing how we ever got along before the
plant was put in.
People "traveling over ' the road be
tween Bakeoven and Antelope say tbat
the same is improved in a marked de
gree since Mr. Joe Sherar has bad
charge of -the improvement and con
struction work on this roati. He has
picked out a route so tbat tbe hills are
avoided,, and has done such good work
in grading and filling that not a eingle
reck can be found on this piece of road,
which heretofore was a terror to those
having to drive over it. Mr.. Sherar de
serves more credit than he receives for
his excellent judgment in bnilding roads.
and if our county had a few more men
with the zeal of Mr. Sherar in this di
rection, we would have different high
ways.

Memorial Service fur Miss Willard.
A large number of people gathered at
the Methodist church Sunday evening to
bin with" the members of tbe W. C. Ti
in honoring the memory of their late
leaaer, Frances E. Willard. . Artistic
hands most certainly have had charge
of tbe decorations, for they were beauti
ful and appropriate. ' Over the large
vocation was an a-ch painted white,
on either side of which was draped the
stars and strips. In the center were tbe
gates ajar, through which could be seen
a pure white croES, surmounted by the
crown. At the top of the arch was bung
a picture of the one who has received
her reward. Draped cn either side of
the platform were American flags, while

hung in a conspicuous place was a
motto, tbe dying words of Miss Willard,
"How Beautiful to Be With God." At
one side of the church was the motto of
the W. C. T. U., ."For God and Home
and Native Land," and on a white eaeel
on the platform was a life-like nictnreof
her whose memory they revered. Putted
plants and cut flowers we,re in profusion,
but it was noticable that not a sign of
mourning marred the beauty of tbe pic
ture, for she had requested that for her
no mourning be put on.
The services were presided over by
Mrs. C. T. Donnell, acting president of
the local W. C. T. D.,and each paper read
was a beautiful tribute to their lost
general and brave advocate. Mrs. W.
H. Biggs read tbe call for "memorial ser
vices issued by the Union, and the early
life of Miss Willard was take up by Mrs.
Dean ; her life work by Mrs. E. M. Wil
son ; Rev. Wood spoke of her Christian
character, and Mrs. S. French of her
noble defense of tbe home. The papers
were each well written, and gave to the
audience a clearer insight into the wealth
of her character and the greatness of her
work. . .'
Mrs. Reynolds recited fin a touching
manner "He Giveth His Beloved Sleep,"
and Miss Myrtle Micliell sang "One
Sweetly Solemn Thought," while the
anthem by the choir, "In Ileavenlv
Love Abiding," and the hymns were
particularly suited to the occasion.
Rev. Curtis dismiesedrthe audience
with the benediction, and everyone left
with tbe 'conviction that the meubers of
the W. C. T. U. were not discouraged,
but determined to work with new eeal.

The three parties adopted resolutions
favoring the free coinage of silver.
As a great deal of business had to be
transacted, the convention did not cloee
until 11 p. m. How well satisfied the
delegates are with the proceedings of
tbe convention is hard to say. Grum
bling, however, was heard among a
number of the deleates.
Reception to Mr. and Mrs. Booker.
Last nigbt at Fraternity hall Dalles
Lodge, I. O. G- T., gave a reception in
honor of Mr. and Mrs. C. O. Bunker,
both of whom are energetic workers in
that order. Nearly every member was
present and a number of invited guests,
who seemed to appreciate tbe short, but
excellent, program rendered. At the
close of the program, Mr. and Mrs.
Bunker were presented with a very
handsome berry snoon as a gift from the
lodge, when Mr. Bunker responded in a
neat and very appropriate manner, as
surnng their friends of the pleasure it
afforded ibem to feel that they had
been so kindly remembered. He a'leo
said that tbe occasion must not be con
sidered a farewell, but a reception, as it
wa-t not their iiituniion to desert tbe
work of tbe order, but to remain staunch
workers in the cause of tempetance. .
After a song by the quartet club, ice
cream and cake were served, ana later
all took occasion to extend congratula
tions and best wishes to the younj cou
ple, who re starting on the journey of
life with such fair prospects for success.

A TERRIBLE TRAGEDY". '
Louis Gebhardt Kills Hla Wife,
Then Shoots Himself.
News was received here today of at
(hocking tragedy which occurred at Cas
cade Locks last night. Louie Gebhardt,
of that place,- murdered hia aged wins
and then blew out bis own brains. '
Gebhardt had the reputation of being
a man of a bad disposition and violent
temper, and at various times he is said
to have uttered threats against bis wife.
Of late ha has not been feeling well, and
it is thought that he became mentally
unbalanced. A, bad scar was found on
Mrs. Gebhardt's head, which might
have been made with a club, and the
supposition is that lie struck her on the
head and stunned her, and then, fearing
that her injuries might prove fatal, he
ended the. terrible deed by shooting her
through- tbe breast, and then, placing
the gnn in bis mouth, ended bis miser
able existence by blowing out his brains.
In both cases-death seemed to -have
been almost-instanca'neous.
. Gebhardt was about 72 years of age,
while his wife was several years younger.
At times he acted as if he were Jealous
of bis wife and showed in many wava
that he was not of sound mind.
Mrs. Gebhardt was known to all to
be a woman of good character and was
highly respected by all who knew ber.
Coroner Butts left for the scene of the
trageay today, and will, in all probabil
ity, return this evening, when a more
accurate account can be got.

The Shakers of Mount Lebanon, sti,
community of simple, honest, God-fear -ing
men and women, have prepared the
Shaker Digestive Cordial for many years,
and it is always the same, simple, hon
est, curative medicine that has helped
to make the Shakers the healthy, long
lived people tbat they are. The Shak
ers never have indigeetion. This is
partly owing to tbeir simple mode of
life, partly to the wonderful properitiea
jot Shaker Digestive Cordial. Indiges
tion is caused by the stomach glands not
supplying enough digestive juice.'
Shaker Digestive Cordial supplies what's
wanting. Shaker Digestive Cordial in
vigorates the stomach and all its glands
so that after awhile tbey don't need
