fifteen days.
The wheat market looks eomewhat
shaky, the price tailing two cents, yester
day at Portland, and ia falling here to
day. Engineer Granlnnd is busy at work
on the Regulator getting her in shape by
the time the new hell arrives.which will
be in the course of a month's time.

Last night a very pleasant social took

rendered and refreshments served, after
' which the members and their guests
spent an hour or two in dancing.
Mr. Payne, of Grasa Valley, obtained
the highest price paid for sheep this
fall, Prather & Bevin, of Eugene, paying
him $3.75 per head for 300 culls too poor
to winter, and $3.50 per head for 300
ewes, ranging in age from three to seven
years.
We are informed that new and much
larger engines have been ordered for

ing on leaving Portland on account of tb
extreme amount of freight she is bring

At 7 :30 yesterday morning the tolling
of the bells at St. James' cathedral and
the Houee of the Convent, in Vancouver
announced the death of Rev. Louis
de G. Schram, vicar-general to Right
Rev. Edward J. O'Eea, bishop of Nes
qually. Father Schrams' illness dated
from last February, when he was
stricken with an attack of eerosis of the
liver. A little over a week ago be euf
fered a relapse in the form of a hemor
rhage, from which he never recovered.

Only two weeks more remain.
xne patient at me city laii, wno was
injured Friday night on the railroad
track, is getting along much better than
was expected.
ine voluntary reduction of passenger
rates in Washington and Idaho by the
Northern Pacific railway from five cente
per mile to four cents makes the rate In

The East End was fairlv blocked with
wheat teams today, although the mar
ket still looks discouraging. Today 50
cents is being paid ; California somewhat
lower; Uhicago at a standstill, and Eng
lish easier. -
Yesterday Mr. C. L. Phillips picked
up a pocKeioooK on ine streets ot our
city, which he says the owner may have
Dy proving property. We question,
therefore, whether the puree contains
anything worth mentioning.' However
the purse itself may be of value.
ima morning uoroner iJ'ius was
called to the Cascade Locks, a man hav
ing been run over and killed by a train
there yesterday. No particulars bave as
yet been received ; but it is supposed to
have been the same train from which
the man jumped yesterday end got in
jured.
A cumber of gentlemen from this city
recently visited Goldendale, and they in
form us it is very likely that in the near
future a railroad will be built between
that place and Lyle. Nothing definite
baa been given out as yet as to the par
ties who are interested in the same; but
eo much is assured and that ia the road
will be built.
A meeting of the city council will be
held this evening, and the aforesaid
body would confer a great favor upon
the citizens of The Dalles if they would
begin agitating the question of putting
in arc lights ' before winter is upon us
and we are compelled to wander in dark
ness. It was suggested at the Wizard
Oil concert the other night that red
headed girls be placed on each street
corner as a means of lighting the city.
The entire community will be red-headed
if we are compelled to walk in dark
ness much longer. Can't eomething be
done to keep our citizens out of the gut
ter this wicter? Temperance pledges
cannot alone avail; the council must
have a hand in the reform.
Mr. Chas. Stabling has placed a fine
new bar in his saloon, which is reported
to be a "beauty." It is of oak,' and its
beauty lies in the fact that it is so neat,
not being covered in tawdry decoration,
but of rich polished wood. Back of it is
a large mirror of plate glass, extending
the full length of the bar. He has also
added a patent refrigerator for draught
beer, which contains four nickle-plated
faucets.
Only a very few senators and repre
sentatives were to be seen in Salem
yesterday, the majority having either
gone home or to Portland to spend the
recess.- A large part of the lobbying
contingent dissolved in like manner, so
that so far as the state house was con
cerned a comparatively dead quiet pre
vailed all day, and politic! and legist
tion toak a rest. This quiet was, doubt
less, counterbalanced by a correspond
iog activity among the hotels of the
metropolis. It is reported that a caucus
will be held this evening to make a
nomination for senator.
Saturday we were informed that Tom
Purdy, who formerly was a resident of
this city, and in the employ of J. T.
Peters, passed through the city Friday
evening on bis way to Pendleton, and
that when he returned Dalles girls could
sit at the depot and eee him go by, aB
Mrs. Purdy would accompany bim
Loath to believe it, we made no mention
of the report ; but the Pendleton Tribune
confirms our suspicions by publishing
the fact that a marriage license was
granted to Thomas A. Purdy and Agnes
Lillian MrNorris. No heartier congrat
ulations will be received by Mr. Purdy
than those extended by his friends in
The Dalles, whose wishes for their
future happiness and Euccees are profuse
and sincere.

Today has been an ideal day for col
lection day. Indeed it ia a perfect day
in every respect. Talk about the "rare"
days of June; what's the matter with
October?
R. B. Hood waa busy yesterday ar
ranging the furnnure in his new store,
in the burnt district. He baa new and
second-hand goods, and says be ia pre
pared to sell cheaper than be ever did.

It was not a mistake to remove them.
It ia therefore hoped that ere long we
will bask in the brilliant light afforded
by the electric current and cease groping
in darkness.- .
C. B. Durbm lost nearly his entire
band of thoroughbred Spanish and De
laine backs at Prairie City recently. He
says he thinks they were poisoned
by strychnine. Dr. Belknap examined
the stomachs and found the mucous
membrane eaten out and the entrails
were pefectly smooth and white. If the
cause had been due to alkali the en
trails would have ehown presence of
grit. This is quite a loss to Mr. Durbin,
as he had a band of 400 head, eaya the
Grant County News. -
On Thursday evening the Columbia
river branch of theWoman'eForeignMis
sionary Society of the M. E. church will
convene in this city, continuing over
Sunday. It ia expected that about
seventy-five delegates from Oregon,
Washington, Idaho and Montana will be
present, and for some weeks past the
ladies of that society bave been pre par
ing entertainment for their guests. An
excellent program has been prepared for
each meeting, and as two or three return
missionaries will be in attendance and
give addressee on their work, all cer
tainly will be interested and entertained.
The public is invited to be present.

If the reporter bad been able to reach
the East End this morning, no doubt
many items of interest could have been
gleaned from this hub of business actlv
ity; but not even a pedestrian could
make way through the countless wheat
teams lined up in front of the ware
houses. However, a telephone message
informe us wheat is selling the same as
yesterday, at fifty cents.
The matter of repairing the road and
opening a street between the properties
of Robt. Maya and M. Randall, on the
hill, ia an important one. This short
road really ia private property belonging
to the two gentlemen mentioned, who
have offered to donate it to the city pro
viding work ie done in putting it in good
shape, aa it ia now not fit for use.
This will be a great convenience and
should begone.
The first frost of tbe season occurred
last night, though not severe enough to
do any damage. This is considered
early for its appearance, although Mr.
Brooks informa ua that since 1875 we
have bad frost on tbe 3d of October three
iffirent years in 1877, 1878 and 1884.
The latest date of ita arriyal since that
time waa on October 31, 1876.
In looking over today's Oregonian we
came across a large cut, which was sup
posed to represent Hon. Albert 8.
Roberts, joint representative of Wasco
and Sherman counties. However, like
the school boy's picture of a cow, it bad
to be labeled before any of his friends
could tell. who it was. We claim Mr.
Roberts as a Dalleeile, and are proud to
do so; but always thought him good
looking enough to sic for his own photograph.
For some time much discussion and
controversy have been going on over the
matter of making Hood river a public
highway, arising mostly over the fran
chise obtained by Winans Brothers. A
petition was presented to the county
court asking that this etreaui be de
clared a public highway," and County
Commissioner Evans has been instructed
to procure the neceseary right of way as i
eq aired by law. His report will proba-
y be presented at thenext term of court.
The action of the council last nfcht in
regard to lighting our. streets with arc
lighta will meet the approval of a long,
suffering public, who have been clamor-
ng for more light ever since they have
been deprived of what waa the pride of
tbe city the arc lights. : While ap
preciating the fact- that the council did
hat they deemed expedient for the wel
fare of the city, it was. a question in
many minds whether in the long run
Sunday just after noon in front of
the Columbia Hotel some harvest hands
who were about to return to their homes
in the valley, were diecuseing agility in
boarding a moving train, when one of
them, a man named Parker, determined
to give a representation of his particular
talent in that line. Aa a freight train
waa just then passing he struck
attitude and mounted the ladder, only
to be repulsed by the brakeman. Not
to be thwarted in his exhibition he again
boarded the train, but in attempting to
6trike ground again his left foot fell on
the track and three small toes were so
badly mashed that they bad to be am
putated, which will perhaps lame bim
for life.
To those who have occasion to be at
the train as they come and go tbe won
deria that more accidents do not hap
pen, for it is a common thing to see not
only small boys, but men, jump on when
tbe train hae started, aod sometimes
going last. Many lessons have been
taught by the fate of others; but some
are not willing to accept instructions ex
Snake cept from a private tutor; and they will
I have sufficient tutorage sooner or later
Ke Feature In Bowling:.
Interest is awakening in bowling
circles as the winter months come on
and a great deal of eport in that line ia
anticipated. At tbe club last night
something a little out of the common
method of carrying on a game was
initiated. A "three-cornered" or "handi
cap medal tournament" - was begun, in
which any member can take part,
handicaps being allowed in accordance
with tbe expertness of the players,
inese games win De played every
Friday evening, the team winning carry.

team wins the medal for three con

The following players took part last
night : Ogden, G. Bonn and F. Bayley,
with a total score of 464; Van Norden,

Upon Btarting cn the tour of Colorado,
the Oregon delegation determined to be
unprejudiced and make no comparisons,
tbat ie, in public. What a serious task
we had given ourselves not one of the
party imagined until we began to reach
the. mountainous regions, aud then as
the saying goes, it was like "pulling eye
teeth" to keep from expressing our
thoughts, and often we found ourselves
saying, "along the Columbia in Oregon",
and tbe remainder of tbe observation
was drowned in the loudness of the
praises eang by Eastern delegations
whenever a small hill was sighted. Not
that we would call Colorado'a grand
mountaina bills, for are they not higher
than ours, and some of them as majestic?
None would gainsay this fact, although
from the elevation from which they are
viewed they do not appenr nearly eo
high, and to those accustomed to our
grand snow-capped peaks standing like
hoary-headed teniinrls eo far above us,
we are compelled to say they eeem but
insignificant.
For instance, Manitou ia 6,629 feet
above tbe sea level, and Pike's Peak
towering 7,518 feet higher, loses some
of its loftiness when it iB compared
with our grand old Hood and Adams,
the former lifting its snowy head about
11,215 feet above us. . Then the many
ragged mountains in close proximity de
tract from its stateliness, and caused an
Oregon hayseed to quietly ask: "Say,
which is Pike's Peak?" The scarcity
of snow also makes it less attractive.
In fact this wonder of "the Switzerland
of the West" cannot be compared to
any of our snowy peaks. The wonder
ia not so much in the work of Nature in
this state (although she has bees lavish)
but in the genius ot man, displayed to
such a remarkable degree in bis maneu
vering? to conquer what;Nature has
made so difficult of attainment, that is,
the possibility of conveying the tourist
up the steep gradep, over tbe winding
curves, through tunnels, and over preci
pices, until not an iota ot tbe grandeur
of the scenery of the state is missed.
Had' Oregon such roads, over which the
tourists could ride and behold what now
ia seen only by the solitary sheep-herder
or an occasional traveler on horse-back,
nowhere could eight-seers find anything
to compare with a tour of our state. In
deed, many who have made the trip up
the Columbia on the boat from Portland
or over the now famous O. R. & N.
place this phort stretch of scenery ahead
of anything they bave ever seen.
While on - our trip, in conversation
with a tourist who had traveled the
United States over in - eearch of grand
scenery, ne remarked, "And you are
fortunate enough to live on that grand
stream, the Columbia; I shall never for
get my trip from Portland to 'Dalles
over tbat won'derful road the O. R. & N.
Never have I beheld such mount
ains, such a river and so many
beautiful falls. I fairly held my breath
when the train stopped at one (from his
description Multnomah) and allowed a
few moments in which to stand in awe."
Often do we hear such remarks, which
lead us to believe it is not all prejudice
which causes comparison to be made
Where in Colorado can be tound a place
where one can behold five snow-capped
peaks from one point of view? And yet
just across the Columbia river from tbe
Klickitat hills may be seen Hood, Adams,
Ranier, Jefferson, St. Helena and the
Three Sisters, standing out in bold re
lief, seemingly defying competition.
But we have confined ourselves alone
to mountains', saying nothing of the
valleys, and to the scenery as viewed
from Eastern Oregon. Well, tbat is
sufficient.' We cannot do justice to the
grandeur of our own section, and there
fore will not attempt to trespass further.
We can, however say without fear of
contradiction, that Oregon is destined
to be the Mecca of tourists, for her
reputation in tbat line ia already made.
She only requires that the civil engineer
try bis skillful hand and brain in ber
behalf to make the world resound with
praises of the wonderful things which
Nature has done for ber.
tana. When first interviewed he
said he had been sand-bagged and
robbed of nine dollars; but being ques
tioned later said he had been sitting cn
tr.e track and tn engine struck him.
Marshal Lauer, after making en ex
animation of the place where be was
found, thinks it more than likely that
he waa either walking the track and at
tempted to board the train, or was sit
ting on the edge of the track and was
struck by the engine He is positive
ttiere was no foul play.

VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
A Stranger ia Fonnd on the Track
ly nor. .
Saturday morning as a track-walker
was walking along about three miles east
of the city be saw a man pass him and
cross three mile trestle. As he had his
hands clasped and acted queerly, be
overtook him, and, finding that be had
been injured, returned to the city with
him.
Marshal - Lauer was called and took
him to tbe city jail, when Dr. Holliater
was summoned and upon examining his
ounda . discovered that he had been
badly injured. A deep gash, somewhat
in the ehape of a Y, was found on his
head, causing concussion of the brain.
His shoulder and back were hurt and
his hands bruised. Today he refused
nourishment, and the doctor fears for his
recovery. "
It has been difficult to find out any
thing definite concerning the accident,
as the patient is not in a condition to
give any account of it, at one time say
ing one thing and at another time an
other. - Hia name is P. F. Feazelle, and
he claims be was on his way to Mon-
Two distinct Republican caucuses were
held at Salem last night for the purpose
of nominating a senator. At the Corbett
caucus thirty-six members were present
and Corbett received thirty-one votes
M. C. George 4 and Joseph Simon 1.
At tbe anti-Corbett caucus twenty-two
members participated and four other Re
publicans were vouched for as being in
sympathy with tbem, though unable to
be preeent. They agreed to oppose
unitedly Mr. Corbett, but the members
were left free aa to whom thev should
vote for aside from him.
A special today from Salem says the
fight is cow on. In the senate this
morning Corbett had thirteen votes;
George, 6; A. S. Bennett, ft; Hewitt, 1;
Ai- en, 2; Williams, 1 ; Colton, 1.
In the bouse Corbett received 23 ;
Ellis 1 ; Williams 4 ; Dunne 1 ; George 10 ;
Bennett IS; Aiken 3. Tbe requisite
number of votes required for election be
ing forty -six, Corbett now lacks ten of
the goal, which only . strengthens his
chanees of defeat.. Lender the present
showing it looks much as if the condi
tions existing at the time of McBride's
election are to be repeated and that a
dark horse will again step in.
A later dispatch points to M. C. George
as tbe strongest candidate, and says no
change IB expected in tomorrow's joint
assembly. The Corbett men will proba
bly break Monday.
Eight committee clerks were allowed
in the house this morning, and eeveral
more this afternoon.
jl Lucky Escape.
The Dalles had a narrow escape last
night from fire, which, if it had gained
headway, would no doubt bave entirely
obliterated tbe frame buildings opposite
The Cbbokicls office. At 11 o'clock the
junk man, who is plying his vocation in
the city at present, was going down the
alley back of Kinersly'e drug store.when
be noticed flames bursting up in tbe
back end of Do Bois' , furniture store.
Hurrying into the drug store he informed
Mr. Kinersly, who grabbed a fire extin
guisher, burst in the front door ot the
building and found tbe room full of
smoke and several pieces of furniture all
ablaie. It seems that Louis Pulskey ,an
employe in the store, and who was
sleeping there at the time, bad placed
his bed too near the air-tight heater.acd
that the mattress after smoking some
time had finally ignited and caught the
furniture near it. ' The fire bell being
rung, the hose were immediately on the
spot and the engine was ready for work,
but the flames had been extinguished by
smothering them with quilts and using a
few buckets of water. Strange to say
the occupant of the bed, who ia slightly
deaf, waa oblivious to hia peril until hia
feet were badly scorched and hia hair
singed somewhat, when" be . awoke to
the situation. The damage to the stock
was slight, tbe bed, a number of quilts
and some dishes being destroyed, aa well
aa Injury done to a few pieces of furni
ture. 'Twaa a lucky escape.
DeWitt's Little Early Risers,
. Tbe famous tittle pills.
The attendance at the convention of
Christian Endeavorers, which has been
held in this city the past two days, waa
somewhat of a disappointment to those
most deeply interested, only about six
teen delegates from abroad being preeent.
However, some very profitable meetings
were held, one of the most interesting;
oeing ine rauy ot Junior .Endeavors at
the Congregational church yesterday
afternoon. Their superintendent, Mrs.
Herehner, of Hood River,' being unable
to attend, tbe meeting wa9 led by a
iiwujcfttuui lutj o unior societies
of our city. During the session a recita
tion was given by Helen Stevene, of
Hood River, and at the close of the after
noon's program Mrs. Boltz read a very
well-written paper on "The History of
the Junior Work."
At 6:30 in the evening the convention
joined with the Epworth League in a
meeting at the Methodist church, and at
7 :30 a union service was held in the au
ditorium of the same church. A large
number was present, and It was a fitting
climax to their fifth annual convention.
auo uuugitrgaiiuu&i cnoir lurmenea
music for the occasion, and the meeting
opened with the hymn "When I Survey
tbe Wondrous Cross," followed by
prayer by Rev. Wood. The anthem,
Praise the - Lord," by the choir waa
beautiful, containing a soprano obligate,
sung by Mrs. Huntington, which is suf
ficient proof of its excellence. After a
sctipture lesson the congregation joined
in singing the hymn "In The Cross of
Christ I Glory."
In introducing Rev. Poling, who de
livered the sermon of the evening, Rev.
Wood's remarks were well chosen, and
seemed to create a feeling of unity in the
congregation during the entire service. '
He first spoke of the satisfaction it gave
him to know that the churches of the '
city were so united in their work, and of
tbe pleasant fellowship which had exist
ed between the former pastor of the Con
gregational church, W. C. Curtis, and
himself. He then said that it afforded
bim great pleasure to introduce the new
pastor of tbat church and that he hoped
the Christian - fellowship would be
strengthened as the work of the year
progressed.
Mr. Poling, as an introduction to bis
remarks, said that he did not intend to -preach
a sermon, but merely give a few
suggestions which he hoped would be of
benefit to tbe workers ot the Christian
Endeavor, choosing as a topic "Conse
cration," and as a basia for bis remarks
the words of Christ, "Father, for Their
Sakes I Consecrate Myself," and urging
upon his hearers the necessity of conse
cration, not from a selfish motive, but
for the sake of others. Tbe epeaker won
bis congregation upon this, his first ap
pearance before a union meeting in oar . -
city, and if future impressions are aa
r- . n - - - ,
he will be a power in the community.
At tbe close of.the sermon, resolutions
thanking tbe people of Tbe Dalles for
their efforts in behalf of delegates, and '
tbe D. P. & A. N. Co. for reduction in
rates from Hood River, were introduced.
Tbe officers for tbe coming year are as .
follows: President, H. C. Bateham,
Hood River; first vice, O. B. Hartley,
Hood River ; second vice, Jos. O'Brien,
Dufur; secretary, Edward Davenport,
The Dalles; treasurer, Maie Cushing,
The Dalles ; Supt. Junior Endeavor, Mrs. '
Armor, Hood River.
The convention closed with a conse
cration me?tinsr led bv Jas. Powell, of
Dufur.
Air. Pollnfs First Sermon Be re.
Mr. Poling, in beginning bis work as
newly-elected pastor of tbe Congrega
tional church of this city, did not make
anything like an introductory sermon ;
but as one standing as an ambassador,
charged with a message from bis Master,
began his pulpit service with the words
of Jesus recorded in Matthew 26:45 46,
'Sleep on now, and take your rest",
and "Arise, let us be going." He ex
plained tbe apparent contradictory na
ture of the two mandates by saying the
first had reference to the work and duties
of the past the irrevocable past and
belongs to tbe order given before to
"Watch therefore"; now the hour of
arrest had come, nothing could change
t; watching was of no avail ; those who
wanted might take their fill of sleep.
But to others there were still duties and
privileges the accompanying with sad
sympathy to the judgment ball ; watch
ing for the last words of counsel that
should come from the divine lips. To
those tbe command to ''Rise, let ua be
going", waa the next duty. Mr. Poling
gave the application to those of us who
had failed in "Watching" to. let the
dead past of . sleep be enough, and to
rise and do what work remained for us
to do.
He held hia large audience with
great power, and it is believed that the
new pastoral opens under most hopeful
auspices. . .
