Court does not convene until November, and it is certainly qnite an - expense on the coonty to have to feed such characters for the next four months. Jamea Davenport wa4 shot and mor tally wounded Thursday afternoon at La Grande, by a Negro, who fled. J. S. Pearson, justice of the peace, had - the wounded man sent to Dayton. He . is shot through the stomach. The shoot ing was without provocation. Search ing parties have returned, having caught the Negro. The party giving his name as Thomas Kelly, who stole the steel traps from Mays & Crowe's store Thursday had his preliminary hearing before Justice Bay ard yesterday. He claims that be bought the traps from another party but his plea was too weak for consider ation and be was bound over under $200.00 bonds to appear before the next grand jury. He has been unable to ee- cure a bondsman and is in jail awaiting his bearing. Thursday the body of one of the In dians who were drowned near Seufert's some time ago was found on the beach near Mosier. The remains were turned over to friends and received decent burial. The bodies of the other two, the boy and the Indian woman, have not yet been found, bnt a search is being made by their friends and they may be recovered at any time. Yesterday morning's rain came too late in the season to do any good to the crops, while, on the other hand, must have done some damage to the rapidly ripening grain and the hay which is seasoning in the fields. Showers at such an onusual time as this will remind the farmers that Oregon is very uncertain and cause them to rash with their har vest until they have their grain threshed and safelv nnder cover: A young man at Dufur last week was married to a young lady under fetching circumstances. Just before the knot was tied the prospective bride changed her mind and absquatulated, striking out oyer the bills. The sturdy young swain took ber trail with a six-shooter and a marriage license, finally overhaul ing ber and they were married. Instead of taking a wedding tour he took a pistol to 'er. Ground was broke Monday morning for the new Masonic bnilding in Con don. The present work is of a prelimin ary character, being done to determine the depth it' will be necessary to sink -the touudation in order to hnd solid T1 . i . hi. I t . grounu. xuat point ueiDir eemeu, uiup will be called for the stone work. The contract tor the carpenter work has al ready been let to Jas. H. Snyder, of Ar lington, for $397. The lots are being graded this week, and active work will begin in the near future. Every train and boat brings a large number of laborers from tbo Wilamette valley- who are seeking work in the wheat fields of Eastern Oregon. A abort time ago a number of men who came across the mountains from Corvallis to seek for work, returned home being enable to find a job. Tbey were in the John Day country, where they went ex pecting high wages, long jobs and plenty ot work to do. Tbey found on eyery road covered wagons carrying people from all parts of the country, even Cali fornia, all bunting work. We are informed by Superintendent Gilbert that the annual teachers' insti tute for Wasco county will be held in this city on September 7th, 8th and 9tb. Everything goes to indicate that the in stitute will be 'one of the best and larg est attended that bas ever been held, as almost one hundred teachers have Big- j nified their Intention to attend. The directors have generouBly offered, the use of the new schoolbuilding, and at the conclusion the ceremouy of dedicat- ing the building - will be held. In a short time the programs will be issued and mailed to the different teachers. Last night a worktrain of the O. R. & N.. a number ' of outfitting cars and a large crew of men left this city for the vicinity of Blalocks where they will be gin operations, ballasting and graveling the track and laying new rails heavier and better suited for the road. There is a rumor current also that a new bridge will be built across Five mile creek at Seufert's, as the one there at present is getting old and the company are making every effort to put their entire line in the beet of shape. Their good intentions are plainly demonstrated by the tre mendous work they are having done be tween this place and Portland, especially in the vicinity of Vicnto. Sunday's Doily. The sale of Oregon fruit in eastern markets this year is onoeually heavy. Everv night a large amount of peaches and plums are shipped by express from The Dalles as well as other points along the line. The contract for the foundation work of the new Methodist church to be built at Grass Valley, was let to Henry Frock, of that citv. When the building is com pleted it will be the handsomest church edifice in the country. . A delightful entertainment was given at the Calvary Baptist church last even ing. A nicely-arranged and equally well-rendered program by the young folks was the first feature, after which ice cream and cake were served. The proceedings of the evening were delight fully informal, and the donations of those present will go to the young peo ple's society. -- - In a private letter received from Mrs. John O'Leary, who at present resides in Portland, she stated that Mr. O'Leary is getting aiong as nicely as could be ex pected, being able to sit up in bed. and has a splendid appetite for a men in his condition. On account of the serious ness of the wound his leg is still in a bad shape, but is healing very rap idly. Gov. Lord's proclamation against forest fires, while made in the best of faith, will continue to be observed about as much as are some of the defunct laws now on our statute books," says the Heppner Times. "The Portland dudes who come up here every year to fish and hunt are the ones most responsible for the destruction of our forests by fire, and until more vigorous means are in stituted to put a stop to such outrages, the practice will be continued." Yesterday three cables were attached to the steamer Regulator, and a supreme effort to get the boat off the rocks will be made today. The cables will be at tached to the hydraulic windlass at the locks and two engines, and when these different forces pull together something will certainly come. It is expected that the boat will be gotten off in this way and if this last resort fails it will be left on the rocks until the water goes down, when it will be raised, repaired and launched. - Albert Mason informs the Hood River Glacier that bis young orchard of twenty acres was overrun last spring with cut worms. The worms would come out of the ground and swarm on the trees and cut off the leaves and buds. He waa at a loss for a while how to guard against the depredations of the worms, but finally decided to wrap the trees with crinoline, cutting it in small strips and tying the strips on in skirt shape. This proved effective, and the worms soon gave up the fight. A shooting crape took place near the Arlington depot last Wednesday after noon, T. H. Wasson firing two shots at Mike Harvey, neither of which took effect. The former was fined $30, which he paid. The trouble was caused by Harvey, who is a gambler, " having alienated the affections of Wasson 's wife at Boise not long ago, and when the two men met, Wasson went after the other fellow with blood in his eye, but the distance between' the gun and its mark prevented a more serious result. Fritz Rader, son of George Rader, a wealthy stock man, living a few miles north of Long Creek, Grant County, came near loosing his life while riding after stock Thursday afternoon. His horse stepped into a badger bole .while going at full speed and fell, the 'young rider being violently thrown to the ground. The force of the fall rendered him unconscious for sometime. His in juries were serious though not necessar ily fatal. " Rev. H. H. Wikoff, ot San Francisco, preached at the Congregational church. Hood River, last Sunday morning. An old debt amounting to about $315 has been resting on the church since its erection in 1891. The congregation con cluded it was time this debt was paid, so after the sermon the whole amount, less $12 50, was pledged in less than twenty minutes. It Is expected that a few members, who were not able to be present, will take care of the $12.50. Mrs. Rose McCoy, Mrs. J. F. Armor and Harbison Bros., each subscribed $50, and G. R. Caatner $25. In a short time seventy-five brave hearts will be made glad by this num ber of "kits" of soldiers supplies which the ladies of the Dalles Emergency Corps are getting ready to send to the front as soon as possible to be distribu ted among the soldier boys. Each kit contains a towel, bar of soap, sleeping cap and fever bandage, a pair of scissors, writing tablet, lead pencil, bunch of envelopes, and a supp'y of needles, thread, buttons and pins. Each kit is done up in a cotton handkerchief and weighs less than two pounds. Quite an enjoyable time was spent in Ramsey last Sunday at the residences of W. H. Defur and Mrs. A. Slushor, through the efforts of the Ramsey Brass Band, which is now being organized, and sure to be a success, as everything else undertaken in Ramsey has proven to be, says the Dufur Dispatch.

All were well-to-do and were anxious to find some place to locate where crops can be raised withont irri gation. The funeral of the late George Gosser was held from the family residence on the hill at 5:30 last evening. The cere monies at the residence and grave were conducted by Rev. Grey, of the Luther an church, of which the deceased daring his lifetime was a member. The fun eral was largely attended by friends and relatives of . the old gentleman, who used the Inst opportunity of show ing their respect to a kind father, a good husband and a true friend and honest neighbor. . ' ; Yesterday the Diamond Flouring Mills, of this city, shipped a carload of their unparalelled flour to San Francis co. Although they have shipped flour to almost every point in the. United States, this is the first shipment that tbey have sent to that market. Yesterday W. H. H. Dufur was offi ciaiiy noticed ot his appointment as Forest Snpervisor and took his oath of office. He stated on stepping into this position that bis great aim- and object during his term of office will be to fill the place . honestly and consci entiously. - James Muckle, sr., of St. Helens, last week received a paper to apply for a medal which the Canadian government is issuing to all survivors who took part in the defense of their country daring the Fenian raid in 1866. The paper was forwarded to the captain of the company to which Muckie belonged, who has all these years kept track of the old gentle man's location. Mr. Muckle will be 90 years old in a few weeks. Every manufacturer in this vicinity should begin ' to make calculations on getting together a creditable collec tion of his handiwork and putting it on exhibition at the Oregon Industrial Ex position at Portland, Sept. 22 to Oct. 22. Such samples on exhibition in such a prominent place will help the manufac turer extend his business, help this vi cinity, help the northwest, help every body. We undtrstand on good authority that beginning next Sunday, July 31st, the O. R. & N. Co. will commence running a special train out of Portland to this city. The train will leave Portland at 8 a. m. and arrive in this city at 11:30. Returning it will arrive in Portland at 6 :30. ' This will make three trains daily each way between The Dalles and Port land, and when we add to this the tre mendous traffic on the D. P. & A. N. boats, we can see the amount of business done by the transportation lines leading to and from the Inland Empire. ' '.' . An Albany boy rebelled at parental chastisement and took flight. The fath er gave chase, but wbb ' soon distanced. Occasionally the by would slacken his speed and call out; . 'Dad, if I come came back will you promise not to lick me?" and the puffing dad would answer "No." Finally the by put on extra steam and disappeared. The Albany Herald says that the latest news from the front is that dad bas raised a flag of truce. '. '-... J. E.

Robert McNeil ly, a farmer living ten miles southwest of Colfax, was arrested Saturday, with his two sons and two daughters, on a charge of murder, the alleged victim being an infant child of one of the daughters. The story is ut terly revolting, involving allegations of unspeakable criminality on the part of the mother of the child and one of her brothers, and of murder or accessory to murder on the part of the other mem bers oflhe family. All are now in the Colfax jail. . . - - - Among the names of the officers ap pointed from the recruits, we note with pleasure the name of S. F. Fonts, of this city, who has been appointed as first sergeant of Co. I, which is at present t San Francisco waiting to leave for Ma nila August 3d. Among those afflicted with the measles and other maladies appears the name of another young man from The Dalles, George McKinney His case is slight and the only one among the Dalles bovs at the Presidio who is in poor health. Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Filloon had narrow escape Sunday from what might have been a very serious accident. They were driving down Mill creek, when i careless driver, going in an opposite di rection, drove into their rig, throwing Mrs. Filloon out and considerably dam aging Mr. tilloon'a vehicle, as well as almost demolishing his own. Mrs Filloon's injuries are not serious ; while the other characters were not hurt at all The accident terminated tery fortunate ly, as there was an abundance of room for very sei ions damage.- .Grant county stockmen have sold more stock this year than for the paet seven, and from preeent indications there are enough buyers in the field to handle every marketable hoof in the county.- Not only are the regular for eign buyers taking all they can possibly contract for in the way of shop and cat tle, but local men are buying for speed lation. Money seems to be unusually easy, and the general proBDerity' and riee of wool and live stock since the in auguration of the present administration has instilled old-time energy and con fidence into the hearts of Grant county's citizens. Yesterday morning news was brought to the city from Kingsley of the death of another of Rondeau's little girls, Minnie, aged abont 7 years. Less than a week ago Annie, aged 9. died of scar let fever and diphtherie. Friday the old, gentleman, "Grandpa" Rondeau, passed away, and by the death of the little girl the number is increased to three in about a week, which seems to prove that "trouble never comes single." This makes the third child that Mr. and Mrs. Rondeau have lost in the last few years, the first being Nellie, who died abont five years ago, and was at the time of her death about 7 years old. AH three children were remarkably in telligent and pretty, and the entire com munity sympathize with the bereaved parents in their terrible affliction.

DEATH OF MR. RONDEAU. One of VTasoo County's Most Respected Pioneers Passes Away at King - ley Interment Today. Friday afternoon another of Wasco county's pioneers passed into the silent bevond. Elziard Rondeau, who for the past twenty years bas resided in tbe vicinity of KingBley, in this county, passed peacefully awav at the residence of bis son, Leo Rondeau, of Kingsley. Mr. Rondeau waa born in Montreal about 72 years ago and when he reached manhood he married and moved to Ver mont.. He remained in that state until after the death of bis wife when, with his family, he moved to Oregon, where he has since made his home. About four years ago be was taken sick; but for a time , his malady was not considered dangerous,' later it turned into dropsy, which disease caused his death. He leaves seven children, four sons Remi and Leo, of Kingsley, and Joseph and Edward, of Ger.vais, Marion county. His three daughters are Mrs. Patneud Mrs. Emerson Williams, of Kingeley, and Mrs. Per alt, of Grass Valley. . Mr. Rondeau was well known through out this county and . bad a host of friends, being a kindly old gentleman who -had a pleasant word for every one and was highly esteemed by all ' who knew him. The splendid family of young men and women which he has raised is cer tain!)' recommendation enough, for a father. , " The interment will take place in the Catholic graveyard near Kingsley this afternoon. A DIFFICULT UNDERTAKING. The Job of Moving: the Regulator Prom Ber Position on the Bocks Proves - 'More Dlfllcult Than 'Was at First Expected. Up to last night the force employed in raising tbe Regulator bad met with lit tle success. Tbe machinery and every thing in fact but the boiler bas been removed, still the craft holds obstinate ly to the rocks. What makes it all the more difficult is the fact that a strong curreat strikes the side of tbe boat and drives it further on the rocks. " Various schemes have already been tried to float the vessel but as yet none have proven tbe least bit successful, and the only thing to be done now is to leave the vessel where it is until the water goes down, and then after putting its bull in good shape launch it. '. Fears were entertained that the boat would be broken to pieces if left long In 1 its present position, such, however, does i not seem' to be pected that bat done in this way. the case, and it is e: slight damage will bet If everything else fails the upper part of the boat and all tbe machinery cart ba saved and replaced on a new hull bo that in any case the loss will not be aa serious aa it could be under different circumstances. PLEASANT SUNDAY AT CAMP SAMPSON A PARTY OF DALLES PEOPLE EN JOY AN OUTING AT THIS NEWLY-NAMED RESORT. A Model Place to Seek for Biosphere, Beautiful Few Mosquitoes and Good Time. a Cool' At Scenery, :.a a General In company with a pleasant party ot friends, and in response to the kind in vitation of the hostess of what was in appropriately known as "Old Maid's Rest," the writer took the 7 o'clock train Sunday morning to spend the day in one of the cool retreats of the Cas cades. On our arrival at the Locks we were met by Miss Georgia Sampson, of this city, who, by the way. with her grand mother, Mrs. C. M. Donnell, as co-partner, is proprietor of tbe "Rest" to which, we were invited. - A few minutes' walk brought us through the city of Cascades and in view of a small tent, in a beauti ful level grove, which we were informed was our destination. The camp's sur roundings are delightful, itbeing cool, shady and picturesque; bounded on one side by the high mountains, on the other by the roaring torrent of the Co- ' lumbia; while in the immediate vicin ity are curiosities enough to keep a per son busy for a week viewing them all. On our arrival a lunch was served, after which tbe government locks and wreck of the Regulator and other points of interest were visited. As there were kodaks in the party, all kinds of snap shots were taken, and we have no doubt that the collection will be valuable. The question of a new name for the camp came up during the dinner hour, and after a discussion it was decided to re-christen it "Camp Sampson," not after the admiral, but that estimable young lady who presiJes over the favor-, ite resort. The afternoon waa spent in fishing bnt as the attention of the fishermen and women was eomewhat diverted, we will not speak concerning the number of speckled beauties caught. A flag raising was billed for the after noon, but the rain prevented such . patriotic performance and the ceremony was postponed indefinitely or until the rain stopped. As "all is well that ends well" the en tire party decided to end the day in that manner and attended church in the evening.' All deported themselves ad mirably, with the exception of two of the boys, who had bad success in sing ing and went out to get the air. They squared themselves, however, by re turning in time to meet the congregation -at the door as they were leaving. " After bidding the hostess adieu, cast ing a few longing glances at the camp where we had enjoyed ourselves so well, and receiving pressing invitations to re tarn again, we took the train at 10 o'clock on our return trip, which waa uneventul in tbe extreme, as-everyone tried their best to spend the time .in dreamland, and owing to tbe exertions of tbe day tbey were tired enough to be delightfully successful.
