. Prof. Landers, principal of our High
' school, has kindly given to the commit
tee bis opinion of Chaplain McCabe'a
. noted and popular lecture "Bright Side
. of Life in Libby Prison." We desire to
call attention to bis statement that, this
lect-ire gives us a view of the bright side,
that side, that every ltcturer or author
bas wholly ignored. These tell us of the
starvation, the sickness, the unmeasured
suffering of the "boys in blue" in this
prison pen, so the . Chaplain's lecture
. will be wholly new to all. Also notice
. Rev. W. H Iliff s estimate of this lecture.
.All who fail to bear the Chaplain will
lose a wonderful chapter of our nation's
history.
-' Monday's Daily.
Today thirty new names were added

Several cars of the construction train
got off the track- between the Cascades
and Yiento today which forced the pas
senger train,' which was due here at
11:30, to remain at the Cascade Locks
until such time as the track was cleared.
The wreck must have been quite serious
as they were still working on it at 3
o'clock this afternoon, and at that time
the passenger had not yet left the Locks.
Since the opening of the fishing season,
up to last Saturday, theeatch of fish
kept getting lighter so that the fish
ermen and owners of canneries began to
despair of making anything to speak of
from the fall run. Saturday the fish be
gan to come more satisfactorily and the
amount caught at preeent is on the in
crease, so .that the season promiees to
be a profitable one in spite of the gloomy
prospect last week
Saturday W. E. Mason, who works on
Congressman Moody's ranch near Hood
River, was grubbing ' when the axe
glanced and inflicted a terrible gash in
one of his feet. He was brought to Hood
River and Dr. Shaw called to attend to
his injury. Although he will be laid up
for four or five months with the injury,
which is extremely painful, still the
doctor hopes that he will reeover fully
and that no serious results will come
frqm the same.
The paBt week has been the liveliest
Dalles bowling circles of any since last
winter. An nnuuil large amount of

We are informed that the freight rates
on the O. R. & N. and D. P. & A, N. Co.
have been raised on wheat between this
place and Portland from three cents per
bushel to four and one half cents. The
rates on other goods have also been
raised in proportion! - The D. P. & A. N.
people inform us that the rates have
never been raised on freight since the
opposition boat was running, and state
that the rates were so low that they lost
money on various shipments of goods
which are difficult to handle.
The music that will be enjoyed at the
Oregon Industrial Exposition from Sep
tember 22 to October 22 will be the best
in the land. It will cost .much money,
but the Exposition managers realize that
nothing is too' good for the people, -so
they engaged Bennett's Full Military
Band, whose music is snpurb. There
will be concerts by this famous band
afternoon and evening, and the pro
grams will be arranged by .compe
tent music committees, the numbers
being adapted to the better tastes of
all audiences. . There are a number of
talented soloists in the band, and they
will all be beard to the best advantage.
Yesterday afternoon two employes of
the O. R. & N. went in bathing in a
slue about one mile below Hood River.
One of the men was named Huston, and
in attempting to swim across the sine
he was taken with a cramp, and before
any aid couldjreach him be sank and was
drowned. A search was made for bis
body which was found this morning at
abont 8 :30 o'clock. Huston is a stranger
in Hood River, having come to that
place recently, and from what we could
learn he is from Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
No papers were found in his clotting
that would throw any further light on
his identity. Coroner Butts was sum
moned and left for Hood River on the
first train.
C. S. Smith and Frank Cockerline, of
Boyd, both of whom were formerly en
gaged in the grocery business and who
are experienced in this line, have pur
chased the store of Fred Fisher in the
East End. They took possession of their
new stand this morning and are now
prepared to meet all their friends and
Mr. Fishers former patrons and offer
them as reasonable figures on anything
in the grocery line as can be quoted in
The Dalles. Both are honest and reli
able business men and will certainly
gain their share of the patronage of the
people of The Dalles and the surround-!
ing country. The business will in
future be run under the name of Smith
and Cockerline. . .. " j

tion than on her last trip and some fast
running may then be looked forward to.
There ia not an Indian in the state eld
enough to recall a day when the Willam
ette river was lower than it is this sum
mer, says the Salem Statesman. There
is simply a huge rift in the valley where
the proud stream used to be." in the
bottom of this, ,' just ' enough water is
running in a cramped channel to permit
the masters of the steamers Gypsy and
Pomona to laboriously find tbelr way up
there from Portland - and lower valley
points. ; - .
Under the most favorable weather
conditions ever experienced, the' hop
crop of 1S98 has been garnered. It
was a profitable one for tbe picker, the
grower and the " state. . Pickers made
easy money; growers eaved their crops
without delay, - and tbe state will re
ceive reputation for - quality, for all the
crop was "Bayed. Like all other pro
ducts, the grower was disappointed
in point of yteld. ' -
Theodore Meguet who has a farm on
Mill creek about four, miles from this
city, brought in several boxes of fine
strawberries this morning to the- Dalles
Commission Co. Mr. Joseph Bonn in
the kindness of bis heart presented tbe
Ciikoxicle office with a bis, of theeame
and they were pronounced delicious.
The strawberries are the second crop.and
show plainly bow prolific the soil of
Eastern Oregon is that will produce two
crops of berries in one eeason.-
Wllliam Rector, who was convicted as
an accomplice to tbe Ladd grave rob
bery, and sentenced to two years in the
penitentiary, was pardoned Saturday by
Governor Lord. He bad completed
about one and a half years of bis term.
He was brought down from Salem two
weeks ago to testify in tbe Magone case,
and was held at the city jail until his
release Saturday. . The pardon -was
brought to Portland by A. N. Gilbert,
superintendent of the state penitentiary.
A meeting of the emergency corps was
held at tbe Umatilla House parlor this
morning for the purpose of appointing
delegates to go to Portland to make ar
rangements to join this with ' the Red
Cross society. The emergency corps will
be made a state organization and it will
be so arranged that both societies will
work in conjunction. . The delegates
chosen were Mrs. George Blakeley, Mrs.
A. S. McAllister and Mrs. T. Lang.
Last evening Frank Somniers and H.
C. Roopert returned from a hunting trip
on Tygh Ridge. They : were, out two
daytand saw in all two prairie chickenB
which flew before thev were within a
quarter of a mile of them, sofiat ' they
feel somewhat discouraged at their bad
luck. Mr. . Weggenman accompanied
them out returning Sunday. He lost a
splendid black and white setter in Pice
Hol'ow about four miles south of Dufur.
He informs us that tbe dog went into
the canyon where there was water and
failed to return.
Two bowling teams, one consisting of
married women and the other of maid
ens, have been organized among ' the

team consists of the following ladies:
Mesdamee. Geo. Blakeley, Fred Hough
ton, Judd Fish, B. S. Huntington, Judge .
Bradahaw, and Theo. Seufertthe latter

Lang and Edna Glenn. . ; As yet they.
have only five members, but before the
tournament, which wilL take place Fri

and will be prepared to give tbe elder

The Republicans of Goldendale Satur
day showed by the harmonious proceed
ings of the convention, that the party is
united in Klickitat this fall, as more
than half of the nominations -were made
by acclamation. Ringing resolutions were
adopted favoring President McKinley's
policy in regard to the disposition of the
Philippines and termination of the peace
negotations with Spain. Senator George
Turner's recent assault on the admin
istration was branded as cowardly and
unpatriotic. The platform also recom
mended the speedy completion of tbe
Nicaragua canal and commended the
recent decision of tbe supreme court with
populist law that ia so obnoxious to the
business interests of the state.
Last evening Mrs. Captain Wand re
turned from a business trip to Portland.
She informs ua that she received a letter
from the captain a few days ago in
which he stated that he and Captain
Micbell Martino, who was formerly in
the employ of tbe D.- P. & A.N. Co.,
are running the steamer Flora on the
Stikeen river. Captain Wand is of the
opinion that there will be an abundance
of provisions in Dawsou this coming
winter. In less than two weeks over
three thousand head of beef cattle bave
been shipped in. Transportation com
panies are at present doing a big butness
and provisions are fifty per cent cheaper
then when be went to Alaska early in
the summer. . Since he has been there
he has been- offered a . position by the
Canadian government running cna -of
their steamers at higher wages than be
at preeent receives, also a position from
another transportation company, but
he. was unable, to lake advantage' of
either offer on acconnt pi a contract Le
has with the company by-which be is
la employed. .

County, died at the Farmer's Hotel in
this city last evening. .. In company with
his son J. H. Beckley, two daughters
and two neices be left Portland last
evening for Omaba, where they intend
ed attending the exposition. . Shortly
after leaving that city he was taken sick
and as he grew rapidly worse his son
telegraphed ahead .to have a doctor at
tbe depot when the train arrived. Dr,
Doane was in readiness, but when the
train pulled in Mr. Beckley was about
ready to breathe his last. , :. - - -
' - It was impossible for the doctor to
state exactly what his malady was as be
was troubled with violent pains in the
chest and stomach, and as be was a sub
ject of heart disease, his death was prob
ably due to that cauee. He was taken
to the Farmer's Hotel and was dead in
less than one-half hour after tbe train
arrived. Mr. Beckley was about sixty
four j ears of age and figures as one of
the most prominent c.tizens of Douglas
county, being an ex-Senator from that
county and a prominent man in politics
J. C. Crandall prepared tbe remains
for interment and they were shipped
below on the early morningtrain today,

The Married and Single Men Boll Tbe
Former Are Extremely Lucky and
Win the Slipper.
A -, lively - bowling tournament took
place on tbe Club alleys last evening be'
tween tbe single and married men, and
as it is often the case, luck predominated
our science and the married men 'bore
away the palm ot victory.
The single men . put, op a splendid
game but fortune did not smile on them
as could be plainly seen . by the center
after center was taken out by the skill
ful young fellows, while, the married
men on the other band seemed to have
nothing to do but throw the balls care
lessly on the alleys and strike followed
strike on their side.
The wager for the tournment was an
oyster supper, and at the conclusion of
the match the successful team was taken
to the Palace of Sweets by their op
ponents and treated to all the place
offorded.
Quite a number of spectators were
present at the tournament and much
enthusiasm was shown. . Another match

A PLEASANT PARTY.
The Farewell ta Miss Georgia Sampson
The First of the Season and a Host
- Pleasant Affair. -
The first dancing party of the season
was held at the K. of P. Hall last even
ing and was as pleasant an affair as was
ever held in The Dalles. " .
The party was given as a farewell to
Miss Georgia Sampson and the large
number in attendance spoke too plainly
the namber of friends the young lady
has in thiB city.
The music was furnished by Professor
Ryane, quartet and the excellence of tbe
same added much to. the pleasure of tbe
evening. Shortly before ten dancing be
gan and not until long after twelve did
the merry crowd break up and repair to
tbe Palace of Sweets and Andrew Kel
lers where they partook of abundant re
freshments. Before leaving the hall,
however, Miss Sampson was bidden fare
well by all present and if the many
wishes for a pleasant journey will count
for aught, ber trip will certainly . be one
of the most pleasant of her life.
: She expresses the warmest feeling of
appreciation to her friends for the de
lightful party given in her honor, and
expresses regret that Bbe must epend a
year away from The Dalles and those
many kind friends. . While in St. Louis
she will entertl-e conservatory of music
Where the will take a years course.

LA FAYETTE'S NEGLECTED TOMB
Monument to Be Erected Over the For
gotten Keating; Place.
In Paris there is a convent and gar
den known through tbe imprtal Hugo's
"Les Miserables." It is the conveut of
the Petit Picprxs. In the grounds of this
convent is a small cemetery where near
ly 1500 victims of the guillotine were
buried indiscriminately. . Here also re
pose the bones of La Fayette beside those
of his wife, ' who wished to be buried
there. . The resting place of La Fayette,
generally unknown and forgotten, is
marked only by a plain granite slab,
Upon a register kept by the concierge ol
the convent there are inscribed the
names of but a very small numbers of
cansual visitors.
In view of these facts the "La Fayette
Memorial Comznission"has been formed
for the purpose of erecting a ' monument
to the memory of La Fayette as a twen
tieth century tribute from tbe people of
this nation, to be unveiled with fitting
ceremony on July 4th, 1900, and thus
grandly celebrate United States Day at
tbe Paris exposition. It is proposed
that tbe cost of the undertaking, which
is estimated to approximate a quarter of
a million dollars, shall be defrayed by
8 mall contributions secured through the
agency of the school children throughout
the eo us try. V . .' -
Tbe dedication of this monument, se
cured and built through the efforts of
the young people of this country, will
make conepicously.' resplendent our I
United States day at the Paris exposi
tion of 1900.
No country will find such a basis for
the celebration of its national day in
Paris ; but all the nations of the earth
will unite with us in the dedication of
this beautiful memorial, a tribute which
shall forever mark the grave of La Fay
ette, whose memory is consecrated in the
hearts of men. -
It requires no argument to convince
the liberty-loving people of America of
the far-reaching value of this . most fit
ting, opportune and significant move
ment. It will promote patriotism and
implant in tbe minds of our young gen
eration, from the Atlantic to the Pacific,
a broader knowledge ot their country's
hiBtory.
It is proposed that the president ask
the governors ef tbe Btates to especially
designate October 19, 1898, as La Fay
ette Day in every school district through
out tbe land, when our children will be
told of the struggle for liberty, and tbey
may then contribute their help and pen
nies to the memory of the defender of
their nation. ' "
TR PLAN SUGGESTED - ,
The committee has decided on October
19th, tbe anniversary of the. surrender
of Cornwallis, at Yorktown. as the day
which the schools of tbe United States
are asked to recognize as La Fayette
Day. On this day, it is hoped by con
certed effort to raise ample funds to
build the monument on a scale com
meheurale with the occasion.
In the universities and colleges of the
land, tbe beads of the institutions are
asked to appoint committees from their
stuJents to arrange and carry out public
exercises suited to tbe idea ; embracing
pernaps historic drama, patriotic drama,
etc, charging an admission fee or collect
ing voluntary contributions as the local
conditions may suggest, and turning the
proceeds over to the president of the
college, who shall forward it to the treas
urer of the memorial committee.
Tbe foregoing suggestions are tenta
tive and may be changed to suit tbe
local conditions. . "

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 California Fi& Srmn

all the importance of purchasing tbe
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the California Fig Stbup Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured by other pea
ties. The high standing of the CALI

cal profesaion, and the satisfaction
which, the genuine Syrup of Figs baa
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

Ashland, company B., and George
Brown of Portland, company G. He
confirms the many reports of the poor
treatment tbe privates received on the
trip. Their accommodations were mis
erable while their food was made up of
a mixture consisting oi small chunks of
bacon .water and hardtack, with cotfeo ia
which, anything could be found from a
cigerette snipe to a chunk of coal, while
the officers were feasting like princes in
their private quarters. Mr. Dye etatea
that nothing could induce him to take
the trip again. He is now on his way
to Walla Walla in search of employment.
Notice to Delinquent Taxpayers.
' The delinqent taxes of Wasco county,
as shown on the rolls now in the hands
of the sheriff are f 60,000, an amount al
most equal to the indebtedness of the
county. Every citizen will doubtless
admit that this state of affairs should
not exist, and that all taxes should be
collected. On account of hard times
in the past the county court Las shown
leniency to taxpayers, but that leniency
has reached the limit, and the court
cannot wait longer on delinquents to
make settlements. For this reason a
warrant bas been attached to each de
linquent roll commanding tbe sheriff to
collect all taxes by seizure and sale of
property. With a bountiful crop now
in eight, there can no longer be any rea
sonable excuse for tbe non-payment of
taxes. The sheriff is bound by oath to
comply with the terms of the warrants
attached to tbe tax rolls for the collec
tion thereof, and bas no option in the
matter. Delinquent taxpayers can save
the cost of seizure and sale of " property
by settling their taxes at once.

Sheriff and Tax Collector for Wasco
County.
