Mrs. E, Scbutz is very ill at the home ol Mrs. Storrs, on Second Btreet.We hope soon to chronicle an improvement, al though at present her condition is critical. In epeaking of the election of officers in the grand lodge, K. of P., the Ore gonian says: "It Is expected that W. L. Bradshaw, of The Dalles, will be elected to the office of grand prelate. The Pendleton" Tribune has secured the services of TomSawyer as city editor All that is required now is for the East Oregonian to employ Huckleberry Finn as a dispenser of city news, and Pendle ton will certainly have the liveliest time in newspaper circles yet known. We are sorry to learn that another of the old residents of the vicinity of The Dalles is to take his departure. - Mr. WT m haa ron tort K!a nlsno naar this city, and, with his family, will re move to Seattle. His health has been failing for some time and the change is mad with the hope of benefiting him. mi n , i r !1 "1 1 ine UTegon oaye at manna win ao doubt rejoice at the arrival of a cargo of Oregon hardtack which has recently been shipped to the Philippines. The shipment consists of 2,000,000 pounds packed and sealed in tin cases. It is mnAa stf ftrArrnn flnnr v Oroornn ISnnHn. ii uuu w. a. " j - D 1 and while it is hardtack it will be "from home" to the boys. As the time approaches for our district fair, the merry-go-round makes its ap pearance and will make things live ly on the CDrner of Third and Federal streets, soon tne "nigger Daoies" win be lined np only to be knocked down by the successful thrower. The streets of .The Dalles will put on their fair' apparel and everything will hum. ; ' For auick anBwers and witty sallies commended ns to the erstwhile editor of Thb Chronicle J. H.;.Cradlebaugti. Yesterday as be was standing chatting with a newspaper reporter, our genial postmaeter.who is every reaay iorajose, nma h- nnd remarked for the benefit of the reporter: "A man dropped dead up on the corner a few moments since." Cradlebaneb. immediately retorted: "What's the matter, Jimmie? Did some body deliver hiB mall to him on timeT The Pacific Bridge Co., which has the contract for laying our new water mains. wn nrt deretand has aeaeed to Etve prefer ence to Dalles citizens in regard to labor thereon, and it is farther nnaeretcoa that Chinese and Japs will not be em ployed on the work. This will be an im provement over the nsual method of im porting labor and thus taking the money out of town. We have as good, and per haps better, workmen here than the average foreign product. - Jack Cradlebaugh, for several years editor of Thk Chronicle, at The Dalles, i was in the city yesterday an route to Portland. Mr. Cradlebaugh is one of j the owners of the Golden Eagle mine, and is its manager. The property is situated in the Kobinville district and is promising. A three-stamp mill is on the mine, and from the ore reduced the expense of development work 'has been kept up. Mr. Cradlebaugh is an old Comstccker and his opinion is that the Baker City goid belt is the best in the world. Democrat. Wotd has been received by the ladies of the Emergency Corps in this city that the members of the Portland corps will send a shipment of dried fruit to our soldier - boys at Manila The ladies bare decided to purchase a certain amount to be sent from here, and sev eral of our fruit men have signified their desire to contribute to the shipment. The D. P. & A. N. Co., have kindly of fered to carry such fruit free of charge to Portland where it will be added to that sent from there. Any who wish to send any kind of dried fruit with what is being shipped may do so by leaving it at the D. P. & A. N. wharf tomorrow afternoon, but no later. -This morning Tom Driver's big dog became curious as to the contents of the reservoir now being repaired on the ccrner of Third an'd Washington streets. He accordingly . began ".- promenading round its edge, sniffing as he went until he finally became dizzy headed. and slipped in. He swam around for a few moments, and coming to the conclusion that be had no desire to become a water dog, proceeded to get out, which was not such an easy matter. Setting up a howl for the steam fire engine to come and pump him out, he attracted the at tention of two young men who gave him the necessary assistance. He is now a cleaner and a wiser cur. - Thursday's Daily. From the records, of the county clerk we find a marriage license has been granted to Frank S. Clarke and Nannie Mercer, both of Hood Riyer. Wheat is on the standstill, the price remaining at 51 cents.

The owner may have the a by cillin; at this office and paying for the notice. This morning word was received in Salem announcing th,e death of the wife of Governor-elect Geer, and the legisla ture adjourned until 3 o'clock out of re spect for the deceased. It has been decided to close the dis trict fair with a' grand ball, which will be held Saturday evening, October 22d. Some of our Dalles young men have taken the matter in hand,' which ' in sures its success. . A: telegram received" by Mr. Kurtz from Representative Roberts, says that the sturgeon bill as passed "will not ef fect the waters of the Columbia above tide water, which we nnderstand does not extend farther than Bonneville, even at high tide. . '. " . - J. E. CottiDgham, a well-known char acter in our city, is wearing his arm in a sling, having fractured his shoulder by falling on a pile of rocks behindhis cabin Tuesday evening. This accident is very hard on Mr. Cottingham on ac count of his age and ill heath The race track is a favorite place for roadsters now, and every morning some fine races take place : but it is difficult to learn the winner, each one claiming that proud distinction. Mr. Mack in forms ns that all of the circuit horses ' which are now at La Grande will be here during the fair, and some fine; races may be expected. " Mrs. Dr. Frank, eye specialist, carries the largest stock of artificial human eyes this side of New York City. Any one wearing an artificial eye will be able to get an improvement on any former fit and will have no trouble in using it. ! The doctor's office is room 38, directly over U.. S. Land office in the Chapman block. Entrance from Washington street. Among the stereopticon views which were shown at the exposition in Portland on Native Sons' night was a very fine view of Victor Treviit's monument, on Memaloose island. This picture was taken by Dr. Doane, and the members of the order of Native Sons in our city had it sent down for the occasion, as the new cabin was named for this well known pioneer. At Fraternity ball Saturday night will be given a phonograph concert, which is said to be a novel as well as a pleasing entertainment, as every selection can be heard distinctly all over the bouse. The proceeds are for the benefit of the G. A. R. and W. R. C. of this city, and for this reason no doubt there will be a large attendance. Admission 25 cents ; children 15 cents. The bill, which was passed by the legislature, to pay $1.50 per day to the "boys" who volunteered for service in the, war with Spain and were rejected on account of physical disability, for the time from date of enlistment to date of rejection, is a graceful act of compensa tion to the young men who were disap pointed through no fault of theirs in not reaching the goal of their patriotic am bition. Prof. J. M. Garrison of Forest Grove, who has for the past twenty years filled the chair- of penmanship iu Pacific University, returns to The Dalles by in vitation and announces a business course in writing to be given at the high school beginning next Monday afternoon and evening. Mr. Garrieon and his work are well known to our readers. , We recall some of our brightest writers who have been members of his classes. The Misses MacDonald, who are in troducing the Swedish system of facial massage in our city, come very highly recommended by society ladies of Port land to their friends here. This is the latest and most ecientlfio of all com plexion treatment and our ladies would do well to call upon them-at room 43 in the Chapman olock. They will give free treatment every afternoon for a week that they may introduce this ex cellent Lystem here. - " At the monthly business meeting of the Epworth League, which was held laet evening, the following officers were elected for the ensuing six months: Edwin Hill, president; Miss Constance Whealdon, first vice-president; Mrs. E.

Collins, the ladies of the Good Intent Society spent the afternoon at their home on Tenth street. The business of the society was hurriedly dispatched and the remainder of the afternoon spent ! in social converse. As the meeting drew to a close the president, Mrs. S. Bolton, in a very graceful manner presented Mrs. Collins with a handsome picture repre senting the Madonna, at the same time conveying to her the hearty congratu lations and best wishes of the society. Last night's east-bound train was four hours late, arriving at 4 o'clock this morning. The delay was caueed by the wreck in Portland. This morning's west-bound passenger, which is due at 3 :50, had not arrived as we go to press, but will probably reach here about 5 o'clock. Five of the cars on the west bound freight, which was in advance of the passenger, jumped-the track about a mile above Seufert's cannery, causing a very bad wreck, but no one was in jured. At noon the wrecking train was sent to the scene, and the passenger was held at Biggs until the track was cleared.

Fresh Olympia and Shoal water Bay oysters by the pint, quart or gallon, de livered, at greatly reduced prices at the The Dalles Commission Company. 12-lw ."Duat thou art to dust returnest" waa certainly not spoken of the soul; but if Longfellow had finished the sentence we think he would have said it referred to The Dalles, from its appearance today. The ladies of the Catholic church who have formed themselves into a church debt society, are planning to give an en tertainment and bazaar on Thanksgiv ing afternoon and evening. Further notice will be given later. ' "-' . Yesterday the Emergency Corps and some of the parents of our soldier boys shipped between five and six hundred pounds of dried fruit to the boys at Ma nila. - No doubt they , will be very wel come, as well as the little tokens of af fection which many i of the boxes con tained. ..

The grand jury re turned two indictments, one for the murder of Young and the other for the shooting ot Mrs. Worcester. The first charges murder in the firet degree. A report from Lone Rock says : "This is certainly the dryest fall weather that has erer been known in Eastern Oregon. Stock owners are gathering their herds into pasture as fast as possible, as stock of all kind are still outside losing strength very fast as there is no grass that they can get and in many places no water. The nights for the past week have been very cold, ice being plentiful." It is by special request that Mrs. Dr. Frank, the celebrated eye specialist, of San Francisco, has decided to remain with us for a short time, and has located in room 38, Chapman Block, over U. S. land office, where she can be consulted and will make all examinations free of charge.' Any one will be able to procure a pair of those diamond rock cryetal lenses, such as the doctor uses in her profession, at the' manufacturing price. Dalles people have Deen very anxious to hear the famous tenor singer who has created such a stir in musical circles in Portland. Through the efforts of the managers ot the district fair we are now to have the privilege of hearing Loren Pease, who will sing on the opening; ntght of the fair and also on Wednesday night. Thursday and Friday nights Mrs. Walter Reed will be the principal attrac tion on the programs. Surely the armory will be crowded every evening, as it is a rare opportunity to hear two such famous singers. - A letter dated September 11th and re ceived by Mrs. D. J. Cooper yesterday from her son, John, who is with the troops at Manila, in speaking of the death of Will Fields, says : "He joined the hospital corps that he might be of assistance to the other boys, and the doctor says caused his own death by his unselfishness, for he was waiting on others when his fever was" 105. - We Oregon boys buried him." "He also says: " Walter Dickey. is recovering, but he is nothing but ' skm and bones. I think he will leave for home on the Bteamer which sails tomorrow."H is own health he reports as good, and says the accommodations there are very com fortable, although the meals are not cal culated to make one's month water. " The larceet crowd which nas ever gathered at the exposition building in Portland was present Wednesday even ing when three unfortunates were,, in the words of a recent correspondent to Thk Chboniclb, joined 5n the "wholly bounds of matrimony." -Now, all We need to make our fair a bowling success is a wedding or two. Who'll be the first to sacrifice themselves for the benefit of the Bociety? Brothers Kelsay and Bolton have volunteered to furnish the license ; any of our ministers or justices of the peace will perform the ceremony ; the different firms of our city have their presents ready, and there is already a discussion between the preeident and the secretary of the association as to which shall, tie on the blue ribbon and kiss the bride. We will all dance at your wedding, and Judge Bradshaw will pronounce the benediction "May the Lord have mercy on your eou1." THE "TIPPING" SYSTEM. A Nuisance to the Tra-elinc Fubllct V hlcll Should Cease. A bill has been introduced in the legis lature to prohibit the lowering of npper berths on sleeping cars when the lower berth is occupied and the upper one ia not. The bill further says that all lower I .1 1 L.- J 1 f l .. f utr I L u 0 must ut) uinpuseu Ul UCIUIO WIIB- Eponding upper berths shall be sold. A fine of $500 dollars is to be the penalty if the bill becomes a law. Every traveler who has the extreme pleasure of spending a night in the com modious qnarters of a sleeping car will say "Amen" to tnis Din. xiowever, it would have been well bad a bill been introduced prohibiting the "tipping" system, now so extensively carried on. and compelling the railroad companies to pay their employes sufficient wages to prevent the necessity of feeing sleeping car porters and dining car waiters as much as the fare amounts to in order to obtain accommodations which should be includeu when the railroad fare&as been paid. So annoying is this practice becoming that even the merest conveniences can not be secured without the aforesaid "tip," and these brunettes will fairly block the aisle as a traveler attempts to leave the train unless in his every-wait-Ing "paw" has been dropped the neces sary passport. In a hotel or diningcar, where seventy five cents has already been paid as the price of a meal, the hungry tourist will eit until the train leaves, wondering why be is not served, when he has been eo amiss in the laws of ettiquette as to fail in depositing another seventy-five with the dark-eyed waiter who stands for a few moments in expectancy. If this nuisance to the traveling public is continued, people who can barely" af ford to pay railroad fare will be com pelled to remain at home, or watch their chance and walk the ties, where no doubt will be found "tips" of a . more serious nature if passing trains are not avoided. But 'lis not only an annoyance to those who are not able to assist the rail road company in paying their porters, for 'tis not bo much the pittance (al though it . has ceased to be a mere pittance) which is expected- that is ob jected to, but the audacity which is dis played by these legalized beggars, who go persistently remind one of their pres ence.
