BREVITIES. Wednesday's Dally A "pitched battle" took place on the corner of Second and Court streets last nierht. between a half-breed Indian and a white man whose name is unknown For a time there were "razors flying in the air"; but the arrival of the night watchman cansed a suspension of hos tilities. From an advertising sign In front of a show on Court street we are inclined to think Adam aud Eve are visiting rela tives in the citv. The show may be a good one,but if Father Adam and Moth er Eve are the leading lady and gentle man, the entertainment is certainly not " np-to-date. Friends in LaGrande yeBterday eent a souvenir specimen of La Grande's beet snar to Mrs. W. A. Kirby of this city It consists of a neat little pamphlet detcr'ptiveof the industry in LaGrande, and to the cover was attached a email bottle of white sugar, clear as crystal. How Ions will it be before The Dalles sends forth some such souvenir of an industry, which lias been started here? Two individuals who were, in their eB' limation. eniovinz themselves to the "fullest" extent, found their way to the recorder's office by the help of an offi cer this morning, and one of them was compelled to make the city a present of $5. The other, escaped somewhat eaeier, but has been taught a substantial lesson and will in the futnre endeavor to keep bis spirits under control. Friday is to be the day at the fair grounds. The schools of the city .will nave a holiday; in the afternoon the business houses will be closed from 12 to 6 o'clock, and everybody will turn out to see the races. The exhibition of Del Norte will take place at that time instead of on Saturday as advertised. This famous guideless pacer is truly a wonder, being the most noted of three of bis kind in the United States. Judge A. S. Bennett, of The Dalles, arrived in Salem last night, and is registered at the Hotel Willamette. He will appear as counsel for S. T. Richard son, one of the defendants in the ballot fraud cases, in the circuit court today. Judge Bennett was one of the gentlemen for whom the silver men cast their votes for United States senator during the special session ot the- legislature just closed, and be is said to be one of the ablest jurists and criminal lawyeia in Oregon. Statesman. If any of the confidence men and tl.uje may have bad an idea that they came to a good field in which to ply their vo cations when they came to Eastern Ore gon, they will change their minds before they have worked many of the so-called "Hayseeds" of The Dalles and vicinity. Their experience with Mr. Gilpin Mon day night must have given them a point er in this regard. They bad better look well to their laurels, or some of our "yaps" will capture them.and the laugh be on the other side. Thursday. . The new Pendleton Roller mill, which began their active career nnder such bright auspices Saturday, are now in full bum. Tuesday W. S. Byers purchased about 7000 bushels of wheat at 50 cents. Special sale in trimmed hats at the Campbell & Wilson Millinery parlors during fair week. Trimmed hats for $1.50 each aud upward. All the latest novelities in ladies and children bead wear. - 18-lw The full-blooded Jersey cow, belong ing to Mr. Shannon, of this city, called at The Chronicle office today, arrayed in the blue ribbon placed on her at the fair. She was raised by Mr. Warner at White Salmon, and is a little beauty. The ball ia rolling, with a committee of young men giving it a push which will finally land it in the pavilion Satur day evening, when all are invited to en joy the evening dancing to music by the orchestra, which it is impossible to - re sist. Tickets 75 cents. . Tomorrow the public schools will close duricg the entire day. that the pupils may have an opportunity to -attend the fair. They will be admitted free to the grounds, and at the pavilion tonight and all day tomorrow but ten cents admis sion will'be charged them. , . " , .Penmanship is having a revival in our schools, three seesions of instructions being held each day and one during the evening. . Prof. Garrison has a class composed of seventy teachers and pupils, .who are taking an unusual interest in improving their hand-writing under his .excellent tutorage. Marriage license was issued to3ay to Emil Hackler and Lvdia D. Brace, of Ridgeway ; also to Boy E. Narss and Mary Howe, of Antelope. . We learn that the former couple were married to- dav: but as we have not been officially informed of the authenticity of the re port, hanllv care to take it upon our shoulders to pronounce tbem man anc wife. v . Rkiii 38, Chapman Block, over U. S land office, is where you get the genu ine article. One pair of the genuine Brazilian Diamond Rock Crystal lenses, such as Mrs. Dr. Frank uses in her pro fession, costs her about as much as a dozen pair of the common glasses others use. Don't you see there is good reason why thev don't want to use and recom mend the Brazilian Diamond Rock" Crys tal lenses. .-"'. Another fatal accident from foolishly maninnlatine a -shot gun occurred at Baker City Tuesday afternoon, when Fred Snow a popular young man in mat city shot himself by practicing twirling his gun around his head. He was found lying dead on his bed with his bead in a pool of blood, and from all indications his death waB caused in the above man ner. The public school catalogue will be ready for distribution some time the latter part of nxt week. Beside the ordinary work of the school, this publi cation will contain a complete report concerning the new school building, the total expenditure on which was $19,376. Dalles people are proud of this evidence of the interest taken in educational matter in our citv, and the building is truly something to be proud of. For several years Mrs. Walter Reed has been Portland's favorite vocalist, and Dalles people who have not had an opportunity to hear her have fell that they were missing much. This evening that privilege will be afforded them, and, although the price for such a treat would probably not be considered, it is worth mentioning, however, that la cents seems a small sum to pay to hear such an artist in her profession. No doubt she will be given an ovation on her first appearance before a Dalles audience. . Sixty-three merchants have signed an agreement to close their places of busi ness between the hours of 12 and b p. m. tomorrow, and sixty-three more will attach their signatures to Che document today. Tns Chronicle, is up-to-date, and therefore follows suit, so if you find this family journal calling upon you at high noon tomorrow, containing little else save a shadow of its former great ness, invite it in and spare your criti cisms, for newspaper people are human, and a part of the race, therefore it can't go on without mem. it any nave a lick" coming they will find us at the grounds. Last night after the regular session of the Dezree of Honor, a very pleasant party was given in honor of two of their members, Miss Mabel Sterling, who is home on a visit from San Francisco, and Mrs. C. F. Stephens, who was elected to the third highest office in the Grand Lodge of Oregon. An - interesting pro gram was rendered, after which all were invited to partake of adelicions luncheon The recipients of the honors were called on .'or speeches, to which they respond ed. The evening closed with a social dance, and the music furnished by Prof. Ryan assisted by Messrs. Erwln Parkins and Clinton Alden was delightful. Friday's Daily. If The Chronicle has called too late for dinner, leave ns on the porch and give us a hand-out. There's room for the filling process to get in its work today. Tomorrow night will be the night for real enjoyment at the pavilion, when everybody can take a very active part in the evening's pleasure. Come witL your dancing pumps on, or your slippers either, or dance' in yonr boots; any way so yon can get the most enjoyment out of it. About a week ago a broom factory was started in the East End, unpretentious, but nevertheless the best of brooms are manufactured ' there. Mr. Sheridan, . who is at the bead of the concern, is an old band at the business, having made brooms for all the leading ,firms of the northwest. County Clerk Eelsay has been doing bis duty during the past few days, and his efforts to secure a wedding for the fair are untiring. - He baa come to the conclusion that the inducements offered by the management are not sufficient, and says if they will only furnish the hearse he will procure the corpse. Mary Anderson, who is now Mrs. de Navarro, and lives in England,bas alio w- el herself, her new English home and hsr two-year-old baby to be photograph ed for the first time for publication. Some twenty pictures have been made, anl the beat of these will appear in an early issue of TheLadics' Home Journal The baby's picture is, of course, the cen tral one of interest. - The Ta9t race on the official program yesterday afternoon was a quarter-mile dash; but . for some reason, it was de clared off and a five-eighths mile dash substituted. There were five horses en tered, which got away under a good start arid made a very pretty race. Volta -came in first. Nervosa second Uncle True third wittt Barnato and Twister a cloee fourth." ,-. ..-.'-, :. - The state railway commission is no more. The governor has signei the special emergency bill abolishing the of fice. The commission is now in the midet of their regular report. -They do not I know even that the state had dispensed with their services. The report is half finished, and will never be finished. There is a lot of other business which the members will have no time to wind up. - . -; - '. Everybody wants to sea the roadster match race. . by what is termed the "slower horses" which is to be called at 1 o'clock this afternoon. The horses may not be quite so fast as some others, but-iie names of the owners are proof that it will not be a "6low" race. The horses entered are- Doc S, owned by C. F. Stephens: Baby F., by H, Fowler; Snip, by Mell Murchie; Mamie, by W. H. Hobson. " - . Dalles young ladies are hereby notified that it will not be necessary for them to go South for "Hobson's kiBses," they can be secured right here at home, by calling at Pease & Mays' store tomorrow. The Chronicle force may be "Hobson's shoice," having already been treated to a sample of that article, which they as sure you are not only the sweetest kisses, but the latest candy out. They don't come high, and you must have them, five for five cents. Yesterday Capt. Lewis received a let ter from the wife of Gen. Bacon, who is attending to his correspondence in his absence. She informs him that the General is still at Walker, preparing for the winter's campaign. Speaking of the fight at Bear Island, ehe says it was a narrow escape; that nearly naif of the men in the Third infantry were recruits and hardly competent to lead or fire their guns. Genera Bacon is a person al friend of Capt. Lewis. - Mr. Baldwin informs us that Samuel Wells, the great Sbakeeperean ; reader is to visit The Dalles, and that a series of four entertainments will probably begin Monday. Fifty cents will be charged for one evening, or $1.50. for the series. Mr. Wells . comes very highly recom mended, having complimentary notices from Bach men as Chauncey Depew, and Dalles people should improve such an opportunity, which is seldom given us. From all sources may be heard com plimentary remarks regarding Wasco county's exhibit at the Portland exposi tion. "It is the best we have ever had. I was proud to 'say I live in a county where such fruit can be raised." So say visitors from here, and Mr. Varney, who has had charge of the display, says noth ing in the exposition causes more favor able comment than does this one section of the building. Among other things there is a watermelon, which if 'twere hangin' on a vine would make the vine groan, as it weighs 74 pounds. Let them beat Wasco if they can.,. .' 'After the second race yesterday the jockeys had some trouble, and as Boyn ton rode up to the judges stand awaiting the signal - to dismount, Earrin,- the rider of Little T. G., rode up beside him and made a wicked strike at him with the butt of his whip. Boynton received the blow on the cheek bone, and as quiet as a flash retaliated, striking Kar ri n in the mouth, splitting Doth his lips. The riders then dismounted and were summoned before the judges, as a foul was claimed. On returning to the weigh ing room they again came together, but were separated by friends and rushed to their quarters. . At the Ground. "- Wednesday the weather was perfect and the attendance at the grounds was somewhat better - than yesterday, 'al though it was not what it should have been. . ' The first race was a trot and pace, two best in five. Ida Mack, Almolene, Lo Lo and Helen J., were entered. In the first heat Helen J., came in first; Almolene second; Ida Mack third, and Lo Lo fourth. - The horses . were quite a while scoring. and finally got away under a very poor start. Mutuals paid straight $2.50. Place, Helen J., $2.40; Almolene, $3.80. Time, 2:30. In the second heat Helen J came in first, winning the race and heat, making the same time as previously. Solo; oar local horse, coming in second, followed closely by Almolene, who took second money. Mutuals paid straight $2.30. Helen J, place; $2.40. Solo, place; $3.65. The second race was for thre-year- olds and upwards tor four and one-half furlongs, five ' horses, Lolo, Twister, Volta, Jim Brownell, Little T. G. and Bill Howard being entered. -. The start was fair, and for the first quarter mile wis an exceptionally pretty race, as the horses were bunched. . However, Bill Howard was too much for the rest and forged forward, coming under the wire first followed by Little T. G., with Li Lo as a close third. Time 1.59. ' ' .

Flemming, THE PAVILION OPENED SMALL ATTENDANCE BUT MUSICAL PROGRAM. GOOD Blrgfeld's Orchstra at It Best Lauren Pease Delights the Audience List of Exhibits. . . . - Wednesday's Dally. For some reason -the impression was given out yesterday that no program was to be rendered at the pavilion last even ing, and consequently many, who other wise would have attended, waited until tonight when they might hear the musi cal program. However, the small audi ence present congratulated themselves upon the fact that not a' note of the ex cellent selections given was missed by them. The Birgfeld orchestra seem to play better each time we hear them, and last night, perhaps on account of the length of time which has elapsed since they were last heard, were a, their besi, the' selections being well chosen, the German Patrol and -National Fencibles seeming to please the listeners most. Much was expected of Mr. Pease, whose fine tenor voice has been spoken of so frequently in the Oregonian, and who is a recent acquisition to the Con gregational choir in Portland ; and none were disappointed, for though Einging under difficulties, his tones were as clear and pure as we have ever heard. He is perfectly at ease on the stage, and sings as though it were no effort whatever. Perhaps'the most pleasing of his selec tions was "Night Time," although sev eral encores were given, only one being responde: to. While many exhibits are already in, many more are expected today, empty spaces last night indicaticg some were yet to 1 entered. The most attractive display as the hall is entered is that of Mrs. C. Stubhng, whose potted plants,' ferns, palms and flowers fringe the stage, and add so much to the beauty of the pavilion. This is even better than that of last year. ' Adjoining Mrs. Stulling's plants is a display' by the Campbell & Wilson Millinery parlors, who have fitted np the southwest corner of the hall very ar tistically and show their goods to the best advantage. " . Near at hand may be seen a number of splendid crayon sketches - and water colors by Mrs. A. J. Toloiie, while at the northwest corner of the building are some sketches by Miss Violet- Kent, whose talent in this line is well-known in TbeDa'.les. ' The exhibit of oil painting this year seems to have been slighted ; .but we noticed some fine pastels by Mrs. T. Baldwin, and one in particular by Miss Winnie Myers, who has never taken a les6on in art. It is a fisher girl, with basket in hand, and proves that the art isthas'rare ability. - The lace' exhibit of Mrs. J.W.Lewis is especially good,' the work being re markable. .- - The embroidery pieces shown by Mrs. Sheldon and Mrs. Cashing claim the at tention of all visitors.. The. designs, as well as the work, are very artistic and extremely well done. " -: A collection of pieces ot Mexican drawn work J)y Mrs. Clark, a compara tive stranger in our city, is very beauti ful. The deftness of the fingers of Mrs. Clark, who is romewhat of an invalid, is evident in her work. - At the entrance to the hall is a boots) showing some Egyptian laee- work by Annie Shaddy. Mrs. E. J. Collins, Miss MattieHollis and Mrs. Pashek and little daughter have entered some crochet work which is first class. .T ''X - Some of the rarest and most beautiful china painting is on exhibition by Mies O'Leary. - - The eye of every visitor is caught by the novel Florentine bent iron work by J. C. Hostetler. This is something new, and the perfect workmanship and unique designs-are attracting much attention. " A number of crasy, and at the same time pretty, crazy quilts are exhibited,' as well as sofa pillows in all designs. . Mrs.' Marden's embroider d piano cover is one of the best in that line dis played, while Mrs. J. W. French has same rugs and afghans specially worthy of mtntion. .... The space in the .southwest corner of the ball is devoted to the cyclone camera? advertised by M. Z. Donnell.-- Perfect specimens of pictures taken, and every thing in connection with a complete camera are in abundance.- At the center of the south wall Gifford has some elegent photographs, which evidence shows the superiority of his work. ; ' . A complete and choice lot, of kodak views taken by Louise Ruch also fill a prominent place among the pictures here seen. ; . " In the miscellaneous department may be found a map of Cuba, drawn by Miss Dora Sexton', of the High school. Miss Rosemary . . Baldwin also has an es pecially fine herbarium on exhibit. .. A document which will not fail to be noticed is a Doctor's certificate, granted to Parker For wood in Maryland in the year 1821, and printed in Latin. From it is extended by a string a seal, made of red sealing wax and inclosed in a small tin case. - This is an interesting relic. . Some brooms from our . new broom factory in the East End are much no ticed, as many were not aware such an Industry had been started here. .A pretty floral display by the Velarde family adds to the appearance of the north side of the hall. Beside large bouquets.they have thebattleshlpOregon made of flower?. They are adepts in this line of work. - Mesdames Marshall Hill, M. Z. Don nell, F. A. Van Norden and Fleck have not forgotten the canned fruits and jel lies, and have some delicious looking specimens on hand. Two of our most enterprising firms, Clark & Falk, and Prof. Daut, the op tician, show that they are wide awake advertising their wares on the north end of the pavilion. - - As yet the horticultural department, under the supervision of A. N. Varney, gives but a hint of what a showing might have been made had sufficient interest been taken by our country friends. ' D. A. Anthony, of Des Chutes makes the most extensive display, among which are all kinds of fruits in season f pep per plants and four varieties of peppers; a large Japanese cucumber and extra fine vegetables ot all varieties. W. H.Taylor, of Dry Hollow, has some immense squat hes aud also sacks of wheat, barley and oats which can't be beat. N. A. Ericson's exhibit of vegetables is first-class, while the fruit BhowB just what can be raised on a Mill Creek farm Among the grapes were eeen bunches of Flaming Tokays and Rose Cbasslas weighing three pounds. Among the fruit display of J. Pashek is a variety of raiaia grape known as the Malvosa, which has never before been exhibited here. He also has three speci mens of early varieties of potatoes and some large cabbages. Some apples grown by Peter Godfrey on the high hills are found in the horti cultural department, but have not'been entered in competition. . Twenty varieties of apples from Judge Bennett's farm, cannot fail to be awarded a blue ribbon if appearances are not de ceitful. .. W.. J. Davidson's apples make a fine showing; while the garden eeeds of L. L. McCartney looked anything' but "seedy" in their fair attire. No nicer dried prunes could be found than the three .Loses entered by J. VV. Koontz this morning. The main feature of this department seems to be a large squash about 2 feet long entered by J. C. Wingfield. Upon it is carved a ship, underneath which is written, "Remember the Maine." Be side this he has some mammoth spuds. - Lauren Pease's Singing. . Although Lauren Pease, who sings to night at the pavilion needs no introduc tion" to a Dalles audience after last night's performance, we publish a few newspaper clippings found in Minnesota papers: In speaking of his rendition' of the part of "Frederick' in "Pirates of Pen sancs" 'a Fairbault paper says: "He surprised his warmest admirers and the general verdict was that his singing has never been excelled by a tenor, voice on the Fairbault stage." " A Pleasant Point paper thus com ments: "Mr. Pease sang a number of selections in a rich tenor voice that car ried the listeners far away in a dream land mood, which was broken with re luctance when the songs were con cluded." " Lauren S. Pease, Jr,. did not fail in his efforts to please, as he never baa. He sang in a rich, clear voice of excep tional sweetness, and never did-violin and voice harmonize more sweetly, as in his solo "Answer," which was sung with deep feeling and expression, and he threw bis whole soul into his encore, "Love's Sorrow." His enunciation was a pleasing characteristic. Pilot. Mr. Pease has consented' to sing "Answer" this"" evening also "I Love Thee" by Buck; "Cavatina,' Faust; Since First I Met Thee," Rubenstein ; "Comfort Ye My People'.' from Handel's Messiah. ' ; A LARGE CROWD ATTENDS. Last Might's Program at the FTlllon - Mr. Walter Reed Slog Tonight. As was anticipated, a much .larger crowd attended the pavilion- last night than on the previous evening, and, bar ring the fact that the building was some rtn eaters '.- : . . Carload of the celebrated WiK , ;. ' son Heaters just received-- All sizes and kinds at ; your own ; .: ' price. ' " ' - - Our Fire Sale is still on. AH goods . . . ... from 25 to 50 per cent reduction. : x Noxt Door to Land Office, what chilly, the evening's entertainment was complete in every detail, i First the exhibits are viewed, and tha ladies discuss-the fancy articles pro and con, while the gentlemen stand around and wonder what they see beautiful in a piece of goods with holes cut in it and then darned over, and then wander to the opposite side of the hall and spend the remainder of the evening in the horticultural department expostulating: -on the merits of grain, fruit and vege- . tables. In the meantime the musical program has begun, and conversation ceases as we listen to the different selections. The orchestra last night played even better than on the first evening, and received frequent applause. Lauren Pease who was to sing four solos was compelled to double the number in answering; en cores. ' The sweetest of his voice cannot be fully appreciated in such a large hall, where many of the softest, most effec tive tones are missed, for therein lies the beauty of Mr Pease's singing, and all who listened to him here are anxions to hear him where the acoustic properties of the building are good. Held Up and Bobbed. Thursday's Daily. The curtain rose last night on the sec ond of a series of hold-ups, which will continue during the week. The hero in the play was Mike Welch, but the gentle men (?) who took the part of heavy vil lains prefer to remain incognito. In other words, last night about 10:30, as Mike Welch was returning to his home on the hill, and was in the act of cross ing the street near Joles.' residence, on Washington street, a man sprang from out the darkness and knocked him down, holding his mouth with one hand ' and with the other grabbing him by the throat, almost strangling him. Ar.o'her actor then made his appearance, and as Mike attempted to rise, gave him a hard blow on the stomach, and then proceed ed to go through his pockets, from which he took a silver watch and eight dollars in money. They then started on the run down the street, with Mike after them ; but being so badly used up be was soon out distanced. Going directly to the officers he informed them of the occurrence, and they immediately started in pursuit of the villains, who have so far evaded ca. ture. Deafness Cannot De Gnred by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is caused by an inflamed con dition of the mucous lining of the Eus tachian Tube. ' When this tube is in flamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it Is en tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, bearing will be destroyed for ever ; nine casas out of ten are cansed by catarrh, which is nothing but an in flamed condition of the mucous sur- . faces.
