Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Groat, who
is very feeble, fell while going into Mrs,
Clarke's honse, and sustained bad
gashes in the cheek and forehead. Dr.
Doane was called and found that the
injuries were quite serious, but not
dangerous. In the fall she was knocked
- unconscious. The neighbors saw her
and carried her into the house, where
medical attendance was summoned,
Thursday morning over the Columbia
Sonthern railway there arrived in Wasco
a train of twenty cars all loaded with
combined harvesters from Stockton, Cal.
This is the largest lot of harvesting ma
chinery ever shipped into an agricul
tural community on the coast, and gives
an idea of the immense amount of wheat
raised in Sherman county.
Yesterday morning our eigheteen vol
unteers left on the 7 o'clock train.
Through the thoughtfnlness of Messrs.
Al Bettingeu, Charles Frank, P. F.
Fonts and others, the boys were given a
rousing send off. Quite a number of
people were at the train to see the boys
off, and the braveness they all Bhowed
at parting with home and friends was
remarkable.
The ladies recently appointed by the
Commercial Club to take in hand affairs
connected with the emergency corps,
will bold a meeting in the armory
promptly at 7 o'clock this evening, to
which all ladies interested in the war
are invited. The purpose of the meet
ing is to determine if it is advisable to
at present organize a corps, or what
other action shall be taken. A general
invitation is extended to all ladies to be
present.
The president has appointed tomorrow
as a day of national thanksgiving for
the victories which have attended our
armies in their recent battles; and also
a day of prayer for the safety of our
troops, that "they may be shielded
from harm alike on the battlefields and
in the clash of fleets, and be spared the
scourge of suffering and disease while
they are striving to uphold their coun
try's honor." The proclamation will no
doubt be observed by the different con
gregations as they assemble for worship
in our city tomorrow.
Here is what Peter Cooper, who died
worth many millions, said of a newe
piper: "In all the towns wbeie a news
paper is published every man should
advertise in it, if nothing more than a
card stating his name and the business
he is in. It does not only pay the ad
vertiser, but it lets the people at a dis
tance know the town in which you re
aide is a prosperous community of busi
ness men. As the seed is sown so the
seed recompenses. Never pull down
your sign while you expect to do busi
ness." Thursday Judge Bradshaw rendered a
decree in the case of Mrs. C. Covington
vs. Winans Bros., The Dalles Lumbering
Co., and the O. R. & N. Co., which was
a foreclosure proceeding, commenced at
the October term of court. The decree
was that ' the mortgage held by Mrs.
Covington for $9124.22 be foreclosed and
property sold, the first proceeds to apply
on the mortgagee's note, the balance to
apply on liens held by the lumber com
pany, and that the O. R. & N. Co., have
right-of-way through the land. H. H.
Biddell was attorney for the plaintiff
and Huntington' & Wilson and J. M.
Long for defendants. - -
Last evening Carl Gottfried and Geo.
Weigel were in the Lutheran church
examining the new acetylene lightning
process, when the gas, which happened
to be escaping, caught from a bicycle
lamp, which was near by, causing an ex
plosion. Carl escaped with having his
face slightly scorched and his hands
somewhat burned ; while George's face
was badly burned. The boys came
down town and went, at once to
Blakeley & Houghton's drugstore, where
Dr. Geisendorfer dressed the injuries.
Peter Pierson was killed and P. L. Lar
sen was painfully injured ia Baker City
Sunday morning. The two men accom
panied by two other men, and the two
Misses Larsen and Miss John bod, bad
ridden from South Baker to the Sumpter
Valley and O. R. & N. yards on a hand
car. Oa the haudcar beside the seven
people was the trunk of Mr. Pierson,
the unfortunate man designing to take
the eastbonnd train to go to Utah to
visit his wife and children. Too party
ran the handcar npon a side track on
which an eastbonnd freight was backing
some box cars. Oa seeing these cars
backing onto them, the seven people
jumped for their lives. Piersen and
Larsen being in the Sumpter Valley
railway a3 section men, attempted to
save the handcar. They were run down
and Larsen escaped with several scalp
wounds, while Pierson was frightfully
mangled, the flesh being about stripped
from his right leg. Several fingers were
cut off and he was cut and and bruised
about the body and head.
What migl t have been a fatal acci
dent occurred at Foasil on the night of
the Fourth. Miss Sbelton, a young lady
of Mayville, had retired in her room at
the Donaldson hotel, leaving the lamp
burning for the use of a young lady
friend, who expected to occupy the room
with her, and after she had fallen asleep
the lamp, from some unknown cause,
exploded, scattering burning oil in
every direction. The report and flames
awoke her and at ths same time attract
ed the attention ot Dr. J. H. Hudson
and H. T. Booth, who occupied the ad
joining room, xne gentlemen at once
rushed to the lady's assistance, and
without much difficulty the flames were
subdued before much damage was done.
Dr. Hudson was unfortunate enough to
cut his hand severely on the broken
glass, an artery being severed and an
injury sustained, which will take some
time to heal. Had the flames not been
discovered until a moment or two later
they would have been beyond control,
and a disastrous and perhaps fatal fire
would have resulted.
Sunday's Daily.
We are pleased to note the improve
ment in the. condition of Joe Robinson,
who for several days has been confined
to his room with sickness.
As the pastor, Bev. Father Brons
geest, will be out of town today, there

The Heppner Times says in a recent
issue: Utis Patterson s successor, air.
CorlieB Merrit, of Portland, arrived last
Sunday and has already taken charge of
the Heppner Gazette. Mr. Merrit is ac
companied by bis wife and little son.
The rivers have fallen to and below
the danger line. There will be no fur
ther rise ; a continuous fail will prevail
until the gauges at Portland and Uma
tilla show about 10 feet and at Tbe
Dalles about 18 feet, when it will become
stationary. The necessity of these bul
letins having ceaeed.they will be discon
tinued. Yesterday B. B. Galbraitb, of 15-Mile
brought in a sample of snowflake and
Australian club wheat, which cannot be
beaten in any country. It stands about
5 feet and is well headed and will cer
tainly produce well per acre. It was
sown rather late in tbe spring and grew
without irrigation, and is a goodjsample
of the crops Wasco county will produce
this season.
S. P. Shutt, recently manager of the
Condon Globe, with 12 years' experience
as a publisDer in Gilliam connty, has
pnrchased tbe Sumpter News of J. Nat
Hudson. He will take charge next
week. Under his management the pa
per will be independent in politics. Mr.
Hudson will remain in Sumpter and
practice law'. He may possibly return
to journalism later.
In the future tbe library will be

Fellah" by H. Glllman.
Last evening Mr. Fault, the popular
night cashier in the Commercial sample
rooms, was repairing one of the electric
fans when his band slipped and his
finger was caught by the rapidly-revolving
fan. A terrible gash was inflicted,
the Lone being stripped almost the en
tire length of the finger. Dr. Hollister
stitched the wound and did all possible
to ease the pain. However, Mr. Fault
will be forced to quit work for a few
days on account of tbe accident. : -
When the Dalles boys arrived in Port
land Friday they were received by tbe
Oregon Emergency - Corps, escorted to
the Armory, and regaled with a good
luncheon. They then viewed the city
for several hours, and when they started
back to the depot the ' women . of the
Emergency Corps presented each with a
well-filled lunchbox and the usual kit of
towel, comb, soap, etc., besides an illu
minated copy of Mrs. Ord way's Bongs to
cheer .them on their way. . The boys
thanked the women very heartily and
gave them hearty cheers.
There is a question whether fish li
censes in Washington can be issued by
State Fish Commissioner Little without
attaching a revenue stamp. It ia be
lieved in some quarters that a 10-stamp
will have to be affixed and steps have
been taken to get a rnling on the ques
tion from Washington. The fish com
missioner wired Assistant Attorney
General Vance for nn opinion, and he
answered that he was of the opinion
that the licenses were exempt, but he
states that he had asked the department
at Washington to give a rnling.
Oscar Spencer was Friday afternoon
bound over in (1000 bonds, charged with
the murder of Willie Sleepy, July.4, at
Zillah, near . North Yakima. Sleepy
was ehot in the breast. His body was
found by a white girl who was hunting
cows, beside the riyer, Near the body
lay Spencer drunk. The latter claims to
know nothing whatever of the murder,
but at the preliminary examination
sufficient evidence was brought out to
warrant Justico McCrimmon in holding
him. Spencer's wife is also said to be
implicated, and both are confined in
jail. All are Indians with some prop
erty.
Three masked men attempted to force
an entrance to a house at Dayton occn
pied by Mrs. Stootsman and a yonng
woman named Lottie Bivette. Tbe girl
formerly lived with the Bivette family
at Mica, Spokane county, but because of
their cruel treatment of her, she was
taken from them and placed in tbe cus
tody of Mrs. Stootsman. Lottie thinks
that the Rivettes kidnapped her from
her home in Canada, and want to get
hold of her now in order to obtain the
ransom. She says that one of the men
who attempted to enter Mrs. Stool s
man's house had a voice very much like
Bivette's.
. Tuesday's Dally.
. It has been decided by the school
board of this city that the public schools
will open on Monday, September 12th.
Every evening a large number of farm
laborers arrive over the D. P. & A. N.
line. From hers they go into the in
terior, where they can easily find em
ployment in tbe harvest fields.
The trial of the damage action of
Walter L. Main, proprietor of Mam's
circuB, against the Oregon Short Line
Railway Co., was still in progress in tbe
United States circuit court yesterday
morning. The court has confined the
issue to the actual value ot the property
destroyed in the smash-op, and elimin
ated all claims for general damages
based upon delay and speculative loss
of business. The accident resulting in
this litigation occurred near Medbury
during May, 1S96. Some twenty carsj
carrying the circus outfit, were derailed
and thrown down an embankment.
A large number of Dalles people took
advantage of the extremely- cheap rates
to go to points along the O. R. & N. be
tween this place and Multnomah Falls
Sunday, and nearly all who went were
delighted . with the coolness of the
weather at Bonneville and Multnomah
in comparison to the disagreeable warm
weather we had in The Dalles. On ac
count of the large number of through
passengers on the 5 :20 train many of
the excursionists had trouble in finding
seats. This, however, was the only dis
agreeable feature of tbe day and there
promises to be a call for extra cars to
carry those who will go next Sunday.
A force of ship carpenters was at work
Sunday on the steamer Dalles City, of
the D. P. & A. N., for which a new hull
is building at Snpple's yard in Portland.
The river is falling rapidly, and it is de
sirable that the boat should be launched
as soon as possible. 'The finishing
touches were being put to the hull and
it is hoped that she can be got into the
water by tomorrow or Thnrsday. The
new hull is longer than the old one was
and the house has been cut in two, and
a piece inserted. The boilers and ma
chinery have been overhauled and put
in first-claes order, and the Dalles City
will be practically a new boat when she
goes into service again.
The extremely warm spell of last week
put a damper on bowling to a great ex
tent. On Monday", the 4th, no ecores
were made at tbe club alleys ; on Tues
day Victor Schmidt scored 51 ; on Wed
nesday and Thursday Bradshaw held
the board-with scores of 54 and 55,
while on Friday Grimes scored 58; on
Saturday and Sunday no scores were
made. At the Umatilla House alleys
H. Maetz continues to score high. On
Monday he made 63, Wednesday 64,
Thursday 57, Friday 56, Saturday 57,
while Sunday he made 62. Douglas
Dufur was tbe only party outside of Mr.
Maetz who scored high during the week.
On Tuesday he held the board with the
high score of 71.
At 10 a. m. today the Chautauqua As
sembly will be formally opened in Glad
stone Park. . The opening address of
welcome will be delivered by President
B. A. Miller, which will be responded
to by Governor-elect T. T. Geer. Camp
ers have been on the grounds for a day
or two, and . the management reports
more applicants for tent space than
ever before. Ground Manager Cross
and his assistants have been busy locat
ing camping parties for several days
past. There is no charge for camping
space or privileges, a season ticket being
all that is required. - Campers can get
everything the market affords delivered
on the grounds at usual rates. . The
water supply is pumped from the mid
dle of the Clackamas river, and is dis
tributed by mains to all parts of the
grounds. The program this year will
be more elaborate and extended than
ever before. Besides the classes and
athletics, there . will be four complete
programs daily ; the first one beginning
at 11 o'clock, the next at . 1 :30, the next
at 5 o'clock, and tbe last at 7 :30.

Resolution of Appreciation.
At the regular monthly meeting of tbe
board of trustees of the D. C. & A, C,
held at the club rooms, July 7, 1893, the
following resolution was passed by a
unanimous vote :
The recent celebration of tbe Fourth
of July having been in all respects a
success, and far beyond the most san
guine expectations of this club, under
whose auspices it was undertaken, and
the great success of tbe celebr ation be
ing due in a great dart to the untiring
efforts of Capt. John W. Lewis, and he
having relieved tbe officers of the club
of many arduous duties, and in many
ways advanced the'work and insured the
success of the celebration, therefore, it is
hereby
Resolved, That a vote of . thanks be
and is hereby tendered to Capt. Lewis
for his valuable services in tbe further
ance of the celebration, and that this
resolution be entered upon the minutes
of this meeting and given to the city
papers for publication.

Accidentally Stabbed.
Yesterday morning the little son of A.
A. Jayne met with an accident that
might have proven fatal, but which,
from present indications, will not have
any serious results.
It appears' that- a young man
named Bayard", who is selling pictures
in tbe city, St down by the tair grounds
to await his partner, whom be expected
along in a short time.
While there several email boys, the
little Jayne boy among the rest, began
playing with him. He had a knife in
his hand, with which he had been whit
tling, and in some way be drew his
band back and stuck the blade into the
little Jayne boy's side, striking a rib
which stopped the knife from penetrat
ing further. The wound, while painfnl,
is not considered dangerous.
Bayard was placed under arrest and
will have a bearing before Justice
Bayard today. It appears to have been
an accident, as it is not likely that he
could have haVlany malicious intentions.

A LEAF FROM THE PAST.
Grlf Chamberlain, of Goldendale,
jolces at the Expected Fall or
Santiago.
Re-
One citizm and farmer of "Klickitat
connty, in the person of Griffin Cham
berlain, better known as "Uncle Griff,"
will rejoice as much as any man in the
United States over the fall of Santiago
de Cuba and the blowing to atoms of
Morro castle. He was in Cuban waters
in 1873 at the time of tbe Virginius mas
sacre. He recalls vividly the shooting
down like dogs ot General Ryan and his
brave men, who happened to be aboard
the ill-fated collier Virginius.
One hundred of the passengers of tbe
ship were saved by the"British man-of-war
Neyoba, commanded by Captain
Carron, that happened into the harbor
during the slaughter .
After a number of court-martial exe
cutions, the remainder of the prisoners,
numbering one hundred, were placed in
the dark dungeons of Morro castle, wors;
man any hog pen, and, before the de.
mand for their release from the United
States was granted, many of them died
from the harsh treatment and Btarva
tion.
"Uncle Gnf," had some very dear
friends who suffered death on that his
torical occasion. The aged veteran's
blood seems to boil with the fire of
youth when he tells of scsnea as he wit
nessed them in Cuba.
He was heartily in accord with the
plans of the late President Grant, of set
tling the Spanish tyranny in Cuba. He
says that General Grant was familiar
with the whole situation, and foresaw
the cost of the continuance of Spanish
rnle in Cuba, and now, 25 years later,
America has awakened to the awful fact
and the civilized worlds beings avenged
for tbe wrongs done through the taranny
of Spanish rule.
EMERGENCY CORPS ORGANIZED
The Ladles Are EnthnsiastlcWork to
Be Commenced Immediately.
A very enthusiastic bevy of ladies met
at the armory last evening to complete
the organization of an auxiliary to the
Oregon .Emergency Corps, and if any
imagine that the women of Tbe Dalles
are not heart and soul in this noble
work - and ready to march shoulder to
shoulder with their sisters in other
cities, such should have witnessed the
interest displayed. -
The meeting being called to order, the
following officers were elected: Presi
dent, Dr. Belle Rinehart; vice-president,
Mrs. Lang ; secretary, Miss Bertha
Glenn ; treasurer. Mrs. G. C. Blakeley.
Among' other business it was decided
that a committee be appointed to solicit
subscriptions of $1, which will entitle
the donors to an honorary .membership.
However, smaller subscription will be
gladly accepted, and as this fund is to
be need in procuring necessary articles
for our brave volunteers, no doubt the
following committee will meet with good
success as they call on our citizens to
day: Mrs. G. C. Blakeley, chairman ;
Mesdames Fish, Seufert, Stubling,
Wand, Berger, and Miss Bertha Glenn.
The duties of tbe Oregon Emergency
Corps are many, each day new calls
being received from headquarters for
articles which are not only for tbe com
fort of the boys, but necessaries. Not
here alone does their work end, but
their duty is to aid in caring for any
who may be left helpless through the
ravages of war.
The meeting adjourned, after much
discussion of plans and satisfactory con
clusions, to meet at the Umatilla House
Thursday evening. All ladies interested
in the work of this order are invited to
be present.
OLD GLORY FLOATS. .
It M as Hoisted Over the Nansene School
With Appropriate -Ceremony.
The spring term of school at Nansene,
taught by Prof. R. C. Deems, closed

THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS
is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it ia
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the Califoknia. Fig Srsup
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the importance of purchasing the '
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the Califopvta Fia Srsw Cot
only, a fe?; 0 y
assist one In avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured by other pal
ties. The high standing of the Cali
fornia Fig Si-hup Co. with the medi
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which tho genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. It is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not gripe nor,
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
effects, please remember the Dams of

Tbe year of 1893 will see many new
railroad lines commenced, branching off
from tbe main systems, and independ
ent lines, to tap new sections of the
rich, fertile state. The first to be started
will probably be an extension of the
Corvallis & Eastern to Prinevllle, and
on to connect with the Oregon Short
Line. This move bas been contem
plated for some time. . In fact, the
bonds were out and ready to float, with
a view to such improvements, when the
war came on and unsettled the promo
ters' plans. As the conditions brought
about by the war are readily adjusting
themselves, however,, the company in
tends to push the thing. This road,
tapping as it does the richest agricult
ural, timber and mining belts in the
state, will prove a valuable line and aid
greatly in developing the state.
Throughout Eastern Oregon tbe wool
market this year presents a different
feature than ever before, but the out
look for fair prices is belter than it was
a few weeks ago, and growers may ye,
realize from 12 to 15 cents for their Wool.
Ordinarily at this season of tbe year
there have been plenty of buyers in tbe
field, and they were offering all the
market would stand, but this, season
they are holding off, and are not mak
ing any offers that the growers can
afford to accept, says the Long Creek
Eagle. ' It is generally believed that the
market will open up within sixty days,
and that all the wool offered can be sold
at somo price. There is a tendency on
the part of wool merchants to make ad
vances on clips, and take wool on con
signment on terms that are very fair,
