Nearly all the delegates to .the con
vention returned to their; homes today,
andon leaving appeared to be well sat
isfied with the work they had accom
plished. The Republicans of Wasco

comes to a matter of being elected.

List evening a rehearsal of "King

house. The orchestra was present and

In fact, the entire program was gone
through as it will be next Tuesday
euening, and the boys made a splendid
showing throughout. Each and every
character are as near perfect in their re
spective parts as is possible for them to
get, and it'will take more than the ordi
nary amount of stage fright to make any
number on the program a failure in the
slightest degree. There will be no
musical rehearsal at Schanno's hall to
night. Last night the fusionists' nominee for
eleriff and one of the delegates to the
Republican convention decided to econ
omize on lodgings and share the bed to
gether. How long they shared it we do
not know, but there must have been a
mix-up; for about 9 o'clock this morning
the Democratic candidate was around
inquiring of his friends where his Re
publican brother was. He appealed to
be slightly ruffled, informed tbem that
he, had made s mistake and taken one
of the Republican's gaiters fn place of
his brogan and wanted to rectify the
unfortunate error. The owner of the
gaiter was found and the matter settled
peaceably. Now they are wondering
what caused such an error. We answer
by saying that they must have met too
many newly-nominated candidates be
fore retiring. Perhaps be may carry
his ideas of fusion to such an extent that
his Bhoes muBt need fuse with those of
his neighbor. However, if the Repub
lican shoe fit him he should have worn
it. .

General Lee has been -recalled. ' Our re
lations, with Havana will be severed
Saturday. Unless ' Spain yields before
that time, war will certainly be declared,

since Spain declares she will not yield
to McKinley and that she will not be
satisfied with anything ehort of war.
Our government is determined,' and
touble can be averted only by surrender
on the part of Spain.' . . -
W. H. Babb met with a painful and
f shocking accident Wednesday forenoon
1 at Pendleton. He was harnessing a
horse at his ranch near Echo when the
animal kicked him in the face. He was
putting the crupper.; nnder the beast's
tail aid was in a stooping poeiiion when
the horse kicked. The force of the blow
knocked him down, and when he was
picked up his face- was covered with
blood. The lower jaw was fractured at
the angle, and a gash was' cut in his
cheek. His tongue was almost cut in
two. The cut extends diagonally across
the member. While the injuries sus
tained are severe and very painful, there
is no danger of any serious- results from
the accident.
No more flattering recommendation
for "King Hallababoola II" could have
been desired than the anxiety ot every
one to secure seats at the box office this
morning. Pat McNeil, late of the Com
mercial Club, was the first one to-arrive-
on the scene, and at 4 :30 took his
place in front of the drugstore. Soon
others arrived, and by 7 :30 o'clock the
line was a half a biock long and still in
creasing. Had the box office remained
closed an. boor longer, the- line-up
would have ended somewhere in the
East End ; ' but at 9 o'clock sharp the
seats were placed on sale, and by 10 :30
the majority had been satisfied and the
excitement abated. There are still a
tew seats left, and: in. order to get tbem
one will have to go immediately if not
sooner.
The announcement of the early ap
pearance in our city of the distinguished
actor, Frederick Warde, cannot but be
a source of genuine satisfaction to lovers
ot thedramp and admirers of all that is
noble and true in art. For sixteen
years Mr. Warde has been recognized as
one of the foremost actors of the coun
try. He has won the respect and admi
ration of the public by his devotion to
bis profession and fidelity to the Shakes
pearean and legitimate drama. Mr.
Warde appears in a. character that he
has made peculiarly hi9 own, ''Virgin
ius," in the grand old play of that name
by James Sheridan Knowles. It is safe
to assert that no grander impersonation
exists on the American stage today, and
that its equal has never before been in
our city. ' "
In a private letter received from Fred
Skibbee, of this place, who several
months ago left for Skaguay, he states
that be has started in the saloon and
hotel business there and is doing well.
He also says that property has raised
wonderfully in price there since the
rush commenced, and it costs J 50 per
month for a'lot 50x50. At present the
nights are cold in kagnay, but during
the day it is ' pleasant. He informs us
that the reports concerning the spinal
meningitis raging there . were false, and,
as far as be knows, there were no cases
at. all in Skaguay or along the pass.
Horses, mules and burros command a
high price there, but outside of pack
animals everything is very reasonable.
He speaks about the loneliness of the
place, but outside ot this, has no com
plaints to make, and concludes by send
ing regards to all Dalles friends.
May Day Exclusion to Bond River.
The Sons of Veterans are making prep
arations for a May Di)y excursion to
Hood River. In a short time voting
places will be arranged and candidates
for a May queen will "be selected from
among the yonng ladies of the city, and
the one receiving the highest number of
votes will have the honor of being queen
of the May. Although arrangements
aie not completed yet, it is expected
that the Regulator will carry the merry
makers to and from the scene of the fes
tivities, and it will indeed be a pleasant
change to some of our city people to go
for even a single day to as beautiful a
rasort as Hood River. Appropriate ex
ercises will be rendered and we are sure
that a very enjoyable May" day will be
spent.
