up Second street, when, in front of C. F,
Stephens' store, he stumbled and fell

of the building, breaking one of the
panes out. Not having the price of the
same, he was lodged in jail by the mar
shal.

fect shape and the fastest of all the Co
lumbia river boats.
Yesterday Dr. Hollister examined
Mrs. Frank Marsh, of 8-Mile, and ad
judged her insane. She was sent to the
asylum in Salem on this morning's
train. The case is a very sad one, but is
considered to be somewhat of a tempor
ary nature, and it is hoped she will re
cover in a short time.
Dr. Hollister was called out to Dufar
this morning to attend Mr. Gnlliford of
that place, who was seriously injured by
being thrown from a horse. The doctor
found that no bones were broken, but he
was badly braised about the body and

being the Easter opening of pattern hats,
bonnets, and all sorts ot pretty headgear.

ance of flowers used this season make

Manager Kinersly begs to announce
the initial appearance of the unap
proachable magician, "Dante," Eliason,
and his select company of artists with
.an entirely new array of mystical novel-tiee-a
program of unquestionable merit;
new in every detail. Dante's perform
ance is quite a relief for ordinary, and
after the frequent visits of operatic and
. farcial companies, will oe indeed quite
a relief. ' So we warn onr theatre-goers
to prepare to laugh as they have never
laughed before, be mystified, startled
and carried away with amazement. - At
the Vogton Monday and Tuesday, Aprft
4th and 5th. The New York Journal
says: "Dante is the only eligible suc
cessor to 'Herman the Great.' "
We learn from Mr. Schanno, who has
been inspecting numerous orchards in
the interior, that the scale is worse this
year than last. This is probably due to
the belief that the early frost in tbe fall
of '96 killed the pest, which caused the
owners of orchards to be careless about
syraying last spring. In this way the
scale got a good start, and all orchards
in which any sign of it is found should,
by all means, be sprayed this spring.
Johnny William?, "Frisco," an old
timer in the ehow business, and who
Mite manager for three rears for the late
Hermann, tbe magician, Chae. Froh
uitii and Dan A. Stewart and W. A.
Wbeejock, pugilistic contests, is in town
managing tbe greatest of all magicians
Dante lEliason.) Mr. Williams called
at this office this afternoon. He says
ho has the greatest show on earth, and
wishes it understood that his company
is by no means a one-man ehow. bat an
aggregation of twelve artists, and -from
critical indorsements we judge the
genial manager tells the truth.
The following is the apportionment

all probability, be made today.

tumes ever used ch a Dalles etage, and
ill assist largely in making the per
formance a rare attraction.
The funeral ot the late George W.
Rowland took place from tbe family
residence, on Fourth street, yesterday

with tbe exception of Mrs. Plummer, of
Missoula, and the- large number of
friends who attended told too plainly
the esteem in which the deceased was
held in the community. The funeral

GEORGE ROWLAND DEAD.
Another of Oar Worthy Citizens Passes
Away Friday ETenins;. '
At about 7 o clock rnday evening
Geo.Rowland,one of our oldest and most
highly respected citizens, passed away
at his home, surrounded by the mem
bers of his family.
He was taken sick early last fall, and
since that time he has been gradually
failing, so that his death was hoc unex
pected. " However, several weeks ago his
conditio! seemed to change for tbe bet
ter; but for so short a time that hopes
were scarcely revived nntil he began to
decline rapidly, until the end came to
relieve bim from bis suffering.
Mr. Rowland was about 60 years old,
and ranks among Wasco county's oldest
pioneers, having come to this city in
1844. For a number of years he has
been engaged in tbe real estate and in
surance business, and was noted for his
honest dealings. ,
About thirty-five years ago he married
Miss Taylor, daughter of Judge Taylor,
of Polk county, who survives him, and
with her to mourn his loss are six of
their children Mrs. Margeret Ains
wortb, of this city, Mrs. I. H. Plummer,
of Missoula, Allie, Bess and Gertude
Rowland, and one son, Ralph, as well as
a grandchild, Lewina Ainsworth. '
Mr. Rowland was a leading member
of the Christian church in this city, and.
bis religious principle were so practiced
in daily life as to be a blessing to those
around hiu, though he would always be
the last to mention any act of kindness
done by his bands.
. This family has been severely afflicted
within the past few years, death having
entered its circle three time, first taking
Miss Levia Rowland, in the bloom of
womanhood; then Mr. Ainsworth, not
many months ago, and now the bead of
the family is to be missed. Tbeir
friends feel that surely human sympa
thy availeth little, although largely
given."
ANOTHER GOOD CITIZEN GONE.
Albert Betting-en Dies of Pneumonia at
San Francisco Sunday. .
A day or two ago it was our painful
duty . to announce tho death of one ot
our oldest and most highly respected
citizens, George Rowland. Today a like
doty again falls upon us of writing the
obituary of another of our city's honored
pioneers, Albert Battingen, who died at
tbe residence ot his niece, Mrs. Edward
Duffield, in San Francis.) Sunday,
March 27th.
Mr. Bettingen was born in Luxem
bourg, Germany, on March 1, 1827, so
tbat he was 71 years and 27 days old.
When 24 years old he married Karlioe
Zinnen, and immediately alter his mar
riage be and his youcg bride came to
New York City, where he went into
business and remained several years.
Afterwards they moved to Chicago, then
to San Francisco, and eventually, about
thirty-eight years ago, they arrived in
this citv. Since that time The Dalles
has been their home.
For . number of years Mr. Bettingen
was engaged in the hardware business,
and by bis upright and honest dealing
be won many friends and patrons.
Seven years ago he sold oat his business
to Maier & Benton and settled down to
the enjoyment of his ' old age. This en
joyment was thort-lived, however, for
about four years ago bis faithful wile
was taken from him by death.
A few weeks ago he went on a visit
to California, and while in Los Angeles
caught a severe cold.: He went to San
Francisco, and on Tuesday, the 22d, his
cold turned into pneumonia, and tbe
befct medical practitioners of that city
were called to bis aid-; but tbeir united
efforts were of no avail, and three days
after be was taken sick his physicians
gave up hope of his recovery. Until the
last moment everything that friends
could do was done, but in spite of all be
sank rapidly until yesterday afternoon
death came to his release.
Besides two brothers, Charles and
Anton, of St. Paul, Minn., the deceased
leaves three daughters, Mrs, Matilda
Baldwin, Mrs. J. 'P. Mclnerny and
Rosie Bettingen, who is at present in
the convent at Ashland, and one eon,
Albert Bettingen, Jr., of this city. -
. His eon, Albert, Is at present-in San
Francisco, and- will have the remains
tent to Tbe Dalles for interment. As
they will leave Frieco tomo-row even
ing, they will arrive in this city Thurs
day evening. The grandson of the de
ceased, Bertie Baldwin, who- is at pres
ent at Mt. Angel college, will join them
at Wood burn and be present at the fun
eral, which will probably take place
Friday.' ' '
Mr. Bettingen was a life-long member
of tbe Catholic church, and beside being
a faithful christian and charitable man,
be was a good husband and father, and
it is indeed sad to see each men taken
from our midst. He was an exception
ally robust and healthy man, and any
one who saw bim leave on a pleasure
trip afew weeks ago would have little
thought tbat death would claim him and
his remains' be sent back in a coffin.
Truly in tbe midst of life we are in
death.
HANGED AT COLFAX. . " - .
John Leonard, the Murderer, Pays the
Death Penalty.
The .legal execution of John Leonard
for tbe murder of Jacob Malquist, at
Texas City, -occurred at Colfax yester-
day afternoon, in the presence of fully
1000 people.
Leonard was brought from the j til
and ascended the scaffold steps unassist
ed, at 1 :16 o'clock. Father Kearns.'nt
the request of Leonard, read a- short fi
nal statement protesting his innocence
of wil.ful murder.
At 1 :21 Leonard stepped on the trap,
and shook hands with the officers and
reporters.
At 1 :24 a voice called out, "good-by.
Jack," and Leonard responded in full
tones,- "Good-by, Charley." As the
last word left bis lips the trap was
sprang, and Leonard dropped six feet,
the body rebounding slightly and then
hung stark, not a movement of the
muscles being noticeable. Tbe body
hiing sixteen minutes, when he was pro
nounced dead by the physicians in at
tendance. Leonard on the scaffold, although
showing- nervousness, looked about at
the surrounding crowd. The body was
at once taken in charge by Father Kearns
and conveyed to the cemetery, where
funeral exercises were held.
JUMPED TO HIS DEATH.
An Unknown Han Killed by the Passen
er Train Sunday Night.
' Sunday night, some time after the east
bound passenger train had arrived, a
man who gave his name as Edward Isn-
non informed the night clerk at tbe
Umatilla House that a man had been
killed on the west side of Mill creek by
the night tram. Nightwatchman Wiley
immediately went down and. found
person abont 4-5 years of age lying dead,
with a terrible gash in tbe top of bis
head. His remains were brought to
Crandall & Bu reel's undertaking rooms,
and it was found out at the inquest from
Theodore Bennett and Edward Lennon,
two men who were riding on- the blind
baggage with the deceased, that he got
on at Hood River, and from his actions
he appeared to be. not of sound mind
When the train whistled for The Dalles
be opened the door of the vestibule and
was looking out, and when his com pan
ions looked again he had either jumped
or fallen from the train. From the ap
pearance of his injuries he must have
struck his head on a sharp rock, which
caused death instantly.
Nothing was found on his person that
would lead to bis identity. When be
boarded the train he told Bennett, cne
of his companions, that he was from
California : more than this could not be
learned. The following is the report of
the coroner's jury :
We the jury empaneled bv the coro
ner, W. H. Butts, to inquire into the
cause of the death of an unknown man,
whose bodv is now before us, find from
the evidence produced, an follows:
Tbat the deceased, whose name is un
known to ns, came to his death at or
about 11 :40 by jumping or falling off the
overland passenger train, close to The
Dalles, Oregi n : that he was probably
under some mental aberration, and that
bis description is as follows: About 46
years Vf age, dark coroplexioned, dark
moustache, about sixieet in height, and
his weight about ISO pounds; a dark
Buifc of clothes, pretty well worn ; black
J. B. Stetson bat, and a dark overcoat.
dark woolen gloves and a heavy woolen
shirt, blue socks, lace shoes. From tbe
evidence we find tbat he came to his
death through his own act, and tbat no
fault or blame attaches to anyone.

An 'Attempt to Float the Glenmorag;.
Another effort .is to be made before
long to get tbe stranded ship Glenmorag
afloat. John Kiernan, who owns her,
is going to the beach tomorrow to ar
range for having the leak in ner null re
paired temporarily, and thasand in her
removed. He proposes to build a sort
of cofferdam around the leak inside and
so prevent any more sand from being
washed in through it. The sand in tbe
hull will then be cleaned out. and when
fine weather comes another effort will be
made to float the long stranded ship.
Just what is to be done with the Potrim
pos, also stranded on north beach, is
not known, but her owners have had a
force of men at work removing the en
gines and pumps placed in her, and
cleaning her out, so that it is probable
another effort will be made to float her.
It is generally conceded by those inter
ested in the attempt to float these ships,
tbat a mistake was made by waiting for
the high tides caused by winter gales to
poll them oft the beach, as the. advant
age gained by the higher tides was more
than offset by the accninpunying atrong
winds and surf which could not be over
come, and which, as toon as the vessels
were moored, always drove them fur
ther up the beach or placed them in a
much - more unfavorable' position for
working. ' ' "

this instance wus Mrs. Sarah B. Chap

since the death of her husband last
August, has been in the Lewis building,

iii the city, was in charge of the elevator.
ffpon reaching the fourth flor Mrs.
Chapman stepped out and was about to
go to her room when Peters called her
back, informing her that he had a couple
of packages left with him for her. She
Stepped back to the landing while Peters
reached for tbe packages which were ly

he turned around to pick np the pack
ages the elevator began to .descend, and
the next instant Mrs. Chapman was
struck on tbe head by the iron railing;
surrounding the cage door. Peters was
horror strickened and tried to pull her
into tbe cage by her clothes. His ef
forts to save her were too .late, however,
for with a shriek she fell to tbe floor un
conscious. "The entire building was soon
an uproar as the news of tbe accident
spread from door to door and from floor
to fluor. The injured woman was at
once taken to her room, and in the midst
of the confusion someone had the pres
ence of mind to summon a' physician.
Dr. Herbert C. Cardwell arrived in re

that Mrs. Chapman was beyond all surg
ical aid. Her Skull was crashed in and
she died within a hour after the acci
dent, never having regained conscious
ness. Miss Ollinger was also summoned
after the accident, bat arrived too late
to see her aunt alive.
