C. Stimson, of Goldendale, who represent the Northwestern Light Co. of that city.

The horses were all bought In the vicinity of 'Dayton, and are of various ages and sizes. Some of them are draft horses, and will be used in logging in the camps in Western Washington. Last evening Mrs. C. J. Crandall left on the 5:20 train for Almota, Wash., in ELACK. 3 tfimia . far S Ifofew . t f mm pitll iimmi But Very Nice.5SS There isn't another line in the city that can meet such a requirement as this with such a quantity as you will find in our stock of grips and telescopes. Something can always be found here, in good taste at the wished for price. N I i response to a telegram stating that Henry Spalding, an old friend of Mrs. Crandall's family when they lived at Almota, had been fatally burned in a hotel fire, and was expected to live but a short time. . Treasurer Bartholet, of Yakima county, is preparing delinquency certi ficates for unpaid real taxes, and the certificates are for sale. The treasurer es timates that fully C000 of these certifi cates will be issued ; and, as they draw 15 per cent interest and are a first lien upon the property assessed, the security is unquestioned. A Havana diepatch yesterday alleges that Captain-General Blanco and Gen eral Manterola have notified the Span ish government that they will resign their offices if the torpedo fleet is to be detained at the Canaries in obedience to the demand made by President McKin ley. Captain Eulate, of the Vizcaya, is said to have sent a similar message to the admiralty. A report is current that one of the members of the club team had such grave fears of the ladies defeating them. that he had bis lunch brought to the Commercial Club so that he could spend almost the entire lunch hour in practic ing. . We suggest that a lunch counter be set up in the club for the accomoda tion of the members of the bowling team, for they will all be equally anxious to practice since last evening's defeat. It is quite possible Spokane people will be able to hear the Hon. William J. Bryan speak in Spokane before many weeks says the Chronicle. The North Pacific Lyceum bureau is now In corres pondence with him and hopes Boon to be able to announce bis coming. The man agers of the bureau have had one letter from him.

A telegram was received yesterday Btating that Rev. O. D. 'Taylor, of this place, who has been tried in the courts of Michigan and found guilty of the crime of obtaining money under false pretenses, waa sentenced for six years in the Jackson state's prison. As Taylor's chances for an appeal are very limited, this is, in all probability, the closing scene in the Nirth Dalles drama, of which the majority of the citizens of the East and West have heard more or less, and in which not a few people have been actors to their great sorrow.' Dr. Hollister, who was called to at tend Captain Endersby, the old gonlle man who broke his lee yesterday morn ing, retnrned last evening, and re ports the patient in a bad condition. Hie left leg was badly crippled from rheumatism before the. accident occur red, and yesterday his right leg was broken a short distance above the aokle, which, considering hi advanced aire, will probably cripple him tor lite. The accident was caused by the running away of a team on a road-scraper. Mr. En dersby got bis leg fast in the machine in such a way that the bones were badly broken. Old Lock-Ups, a noted Klickitat In dian, and tor some time a resident of this city, died last week at Columbus. Lock-Ups must have been fully 100 years old.

In his youth he had bad many battles with the Snake Indians, with whom his tribe was alwavB at war. For some three years he had been blind and unable to get around. For two days and nights the Neequal- ly Indian: have been matched against the Puyaliups in a great gambling con teet, held on . the reservation of the former tribe, now almost deserted, and far from a prosperous condition. The Indians' passion for gambling is satis fied by several games, prominent among them being that known as "slahal " It was this sort of gambling that occu pied the attention of the neighboring tribes for forty-eight hours. At the end the game was declared a draw, and the horses, wagons, blankets, articles of clothing and $200 staked on the out come, did not change hands. Thursday's Dally. Advices say that the president will stop the Cuban war on humane grounds. Telephone messages from Portland to day etated that it was snowing at that place this forenoon.

For several weeks he has been confined to hia room with an attack of rheumatism, bnt has so far recovered as to be on the streets today. All necessary preparations are being made for the G. A. R. encampment to be beld at this place in May, and from present indications, it will be the best and most largely attended encampment that has ever been held in this state. . - Tuesday, while climbing 'into a hay loft, Mrs. R. A. Moore, of Wasco, fell a distance of ten feet. Her wrist was dis located and the bones of her right arm broken near the wrist.

A report received from Portland at noon today states that the Silver Re ' publicans and Democrats are prepared to go ahead with the convention, but the Popaiists are holding back, and how long this state of affairs will continue is hard to tell. At present it looks very discouraging for the fnmi.nists. Henry Spaldin. the well known fruit grower, died luesduy evening .at Al mota, on the Snake river, (nun injuries received recently while carrying lurui ture from his burnirm building. Mr. Spalding-whs a son of Ksv. H. Simlding who came to the Pacific Northweei in 1836 with Mai cos Whitman. He was abont 50 years old. J. K. Armsby, the luilloinaire con-. densed frnit manufacturer of Chicago, who has bei-n i u Portland sounding the fish market preparatory to putting Co lumbia riyer salmon on' the Eastern market, finds the market in a very un settled condition, he says. The fisher men don't seem to.kniw what they in tend doing, according to his opinion. However, he thinks there will be plenty of fish, and furthermore that the market will not vary with other seasons. . A grand jury was organized Tuesday afternoon at C"lfax, C. Tinglini, a rail road man, being appointed foreman. The judge, in bis chargfe to the jury, laid epecial stress on the recent lynching of Chadwick Marshall, urging that a care ful investigation be. maile, so that the members of the mob might be indicted and punished. Ho also called attention to the necessity of abating the vices of gambling and prize-fiichting. The grand j'iry issued subpoenas for two witnesses, supposed to know something about the lynching, and the jury began its labors yesterday morning. In response to the kind invitation of the managers of King Hallabahoola II, the reporter attended the reheareal last evening, and although he must refrain from'giving awav the plot or character of the performance, he is permitted to say one thing, and that is that it prom ises to surpass anything ever given by home talent in The Dalles. Their songs, dances, jokes and music are the latest and best, and owing to the good spirit with which everyone enters into their parts, as well as the amonnt of practic ing the boys are doing, every turn will be put on in the best possible shape. Tne Champion base-ball team has re organized for the season and will com mence training immediately. Jac Mc Grath and Mike Robinson, two profes sional ball-tossers of Chicago, have con sented to play with them.

Dnfnr, Jim Crate, Mike Robinson and Jac Mc Grath. Goldendale Sentinel : A -proposition has been made by J. Russell Jones', now in New York, that if the right-of-way can be procured for a railway to connect Goldendale with The Dalles, that' some capitalists, whom he represents, will have the line surveyed, and if the route is practical, will build a road. It is ex pected this route will follow that of the Lyle railroad as far as Ceotervllle, then run in a southerly direction toTbeDalles mountain, climing it at a gradual grade and crossing it where The Dalles wagon road reaches the summit; then descend ing in a westerly direction, making a turn on the G. W. Smith place, and then to The Dalles. Committees have been appointed to get the .right-of-way, and surely no one will be so hoggish as not to grant it. Judge Bellinger yesterday morning denied the motion of plaintiff for a new trial in the case of H. M. Smith vs. J. G. & I. N. Day. Smith sued for $25,000 damages based upon injuries alleged to have been sustained throokh the negli gence of the defendants in setting off a blast at Cascade Locks. Smith was struck in the bead by a piece of rock w hile lie wa' sitting in the cabin of the steamer tied up near the locks which the defendants were building. The plaintiff alleged in-hia bill of complaint that by reason of these injuries he has not only been permanently disabled, hut has been put to a great deal ot ex pense for hospital care and medical treatment.

A special received to day says : The Spaniards are not endeavoring to settle the but on the contrary are looking for a . fight. The Spanish flotilla has start ed west from the Canary islands and pur govern ment says it must stop. At no time since the be ginning of the trouble has the situation looked so critical as it does at the present time, and the dogs of war may be turned loose at anv mo- ment. All that could be learned from the state convention today was that an or ganization had been effected of the three parties, and a platform adopt ed. No nominations bad been made when the last telegram was received and as yet we cannot give the names of any of the candidates. A telegram was received by the friends of Rev. O. D.

Mr. Miller has almost a -national reputation, and his coming is loked forward to with pleasure by all interested in the work. It seems that some of the petty thieves with whom other towns have been in fested, have reached The Dalles, and it would be well for our citizens to bar the doors and windows more tightly. This morning wben Mr. Win. Mich'ell got up and started to dress, he found that bis 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 ihe wagon1' and you will agree with us.
