- Today we were shown some brooms
made at the new factory in the East
End. Thev are first-class in every re
epect, and were made of broom corn
which cost the manufacturers, Merton
& Co., $130 a ton. At the Midwinter
fair in Sao Francisco this same broom
was awarded the premium. Here is a
splendid opportunity for as to show ap
preciation of the industries in our own
city. Let as help this new enterprise
along and in the near future the factory
can be enlarged, more workmen employed
and The Dalles be benefited thereby.
Such enthusiasm as is at present man
ifested in our schools over the writing
question, has not been known for some
time. Prof. Garrison has been doing
some volunteer work in the different

der the auspices of the order of Odd
Fellows, of which he has been a mem
ber for the past forty-four years. A. J.
Brigham, of Dufur, conducted the ser
vices, speaking feelingly of the deceased,
and the sorrow felt by all at the loss of
such a kind neighbor and iriend. A
large number of Odd Fellows and Re
beccas were In attendance, among them
Messrs. T. Ward, W. II. Butts, Adolph

Mr. A. N. Varney had the misfortune
to dislocate his shoulder this morning.
While helping to cirry a large dry goods
box np the steps to his residence, the

ably delay the journey."-We are very
sorry to learn of their intention to leave
The Dalles permanently, as we can illy
afford to part with such valued residents
as Mr. and Mrs. Varney. The latter
will be greatly missed in musical circles,
-where she is ever ready . to render as
sistance. .. ' - 1
. The reporter yesterday stated that the
local land office was receiving daily
an average of three applications for
publication notice to make final proof.
We could have added that homestead
filings are coming in at the rate of three
a day. This won'd cause most peopl
to A.n ler where i on earth all this laud
is located. The office is also very bu
with cash purchases ef forfeited rnilroa
lands, the limit of time In which such
can be made expiring on January
1899. -This is causing the settler to "get
a move on." It is fortunate that a good
wheat crop and fair prices exist to help
the farmer at this particular time, all ol
whom are anxious to cet their share of
the forfeited lands, when situated so as
to avail themselves of the joppo rluuity

A dispatch from Washington says
The secretary of the interior has ap
proved for patent to The Dalles Military
Road Company a list of lands selected
under its grant, embracing 597 acres in
The Dalles district."
Who said our streets are dirty? If
any one did, they'd better take it back
before the street sweeper makes them
for he's busy at work today on Second
street. Don't let him pass your door
without giving the street in front of it
at least a passing rub. .
The Oregon Bar Association will hold
its annual meeting in the United States
court room, in Portland, November 8th
and 9th. " This meeting will bo an iin
portant one, inasmuch as action will be
taken to raise and maintain a h'gher
standard for the profession in Oregon.
Wheat is not coming in from the iijjj
terior so lively as it has been, the bulk
of Wasco county's crop being already
stored and a small quantity sold. Klicki'
tat wheat is still moving rapidly toward
The Dalles, and there is much yet to
come. The price still stands at 51 cents.
Mr. D. Goodstein, of the firm of Good
stein & Co., of Portland, . is in the city
today making arrangements to etart
clothing and furnishing store in the
building lately occupied by W. A. Johns,
ton. We welcome this new firm to our
city and trust they will find this a first
class place for their line of business.

The funeral of Mrs. Mervin Rand,
who died in this city Friday night, of
consumption, took place from the family
residence, at the bead of Liberty street,
this afternoon. Deceased was but 25
years old, and has been a great sufferer
tor months, keeping up as best she could
on account of her two small children,
Mr. Rand himself being unable to care
for them. One will now be sent to the
orphans' home, while the other will be
taken in charge by kind friends. .
At a meeting of the members of the
Christian church last night after service,
the work of the pastor, Rev. Boltz. was
highly commended, and there is little
doubt that be will be retained another
year. Daring bis ten-months' pastorate
here the church has been built up won
derfully, seventy-eight accessions being
made to the membership, and an inter
est being awakened which will tell in the
future welfare of the society. He is not
only a good worker, but an eloquent
speaker.
Oar library is steadily increasing its
list of books, 130 volumes being received
yesterday, and 200 more are expected in
a few days. Nothing which has been
started in our city for many years has
given each satisfaction in literary circles
as the library. Its books are the latest
and very best to be procured being
chosen by a committee well fitted to
make selections. Those who do not im
prove the opportunity to get such
good. reading for so small a sum as
twenty-five cents a month are missing
much.
The steamer Sarah Dixon left this
city Saturday, night about 9 o'clock and
made a through trip to Portland passing
through the locks at 3 o'clock, m hen
the moonlight made it almost as light as
day. At 2:30 the Dalles . City came
through on its way to Lyle, where- 3000
sacks of wheat were loaded and the
steamer returned to .Portland. The
Dixon arrived at The Dalles about 8
o'clock last night. The amount of freight
carried by this line during the past few
months has been immense, compelling
them to make extra trips. As soon as
the rush caused by .- the shipment of
wheat is over the steamers will leave
the city at an earlier hour. ; ..
A very sad and fatal accident occurred
at Cascades Saturday. . Mrs. J. J. Gib
bons and her son were driving into town
in a cart when the boy stopped to pick
ap a horse shoe - in the road. ( The
horse which tbey were driving became
frightened and ran away, throning Mrs.
Gibbons out and breaking her neck,
horseman who saw the runaway tea
endeavored to catcb np and stop them
but , failed to do so,' overtaking them
only in time to raise the lifeless form
of the unfortunate woman from the
road where she bad been thrown. The
husband of the deceased was formerly
employed in the shops at -this place.

Mr. C. E. Nestor, of the Oregon Tele
phone line, is in the city soliciting sub
scriptions which will induce tbem to ex
tend their line to Prinevilie. Many are
responding liberally and we trust the
good work will go on.
Yesterday in speaking of the falal ac
cident to Mrs. J. J. Gibbons we said it
occurred at Cascades, instead of at Hood
River. The deceased lived four miles
from Hood River, and her funeral was
held at the Chrielian church there yes
terday.

Workmen are engaged in gradjng the
grounds surrounding the High school
building. These will no doubt be made
the most beautiful grounds in the city
as the building is so situated that they
can be terraced to the foot of the grade
This morning at the Farmer's Hotel
Mr. H. M. Woolen aDd Miss Ida Med'
lar were united in matrimony by Jus
tice Bayard. Both the bride and groom
reside at Wasco,, and are membors of
society circles there, the bride being a
daughter of B. F. Medlar, who is well
known in The Dalles.
Yesterday as Julius Bankonin, with
his wife and child, who live on Ninth
street, were starting out for a drive in
their cart, the horse became frightened
and ran away, going but a short dis
tance before the occupants of - the gig
were thrown out. Mrs. Bankonin . and
the child received several bruises which
are not thought to be serious.
Mrs. Susie Parmenter, of Salem, grand
chief of the order of Rathbone Sisters,
will be in the city Thursday evening and
exemplify thework at their meeting,
after which a general good time will be
had. Members are requested to make
an extra effort to be present, as it is de
sired to give her a hearty greeting and
receive as much benefit as possible from
her visit.
This morning John Seymour, a Warm
Springs Indian, with bis wife and family,
started out for home, when on reaching
the 5-Mile hill bis wagon was crowded
off the grade and they were thrown out.
The children were bruised slightly, but
Mrs. Seymour had two ribs broken
Agent McCowan, who was also on bis
way home, brought the unfortunate
woman pack to town, and summoned Dr,
Hollister, who attended to her wounds,
Many flattering remarks are made by
several of our prominent citizens regard
ing the wonderful skill which Mrs. Dr,
Frank displays in correcting visional de
fects. Those suffering from impaired eye
sight, which often ends in total blind
ness, should not neglect calling on Mrs,
Dr. Frank, Room 38, Chapman block,
over U. S. Laud office, lou will be
sure to find ber in the office the entire
day on Saturday, November 5th. .
It seems that' another arrangement
has been made in . regard to the Christ
mas boxes for the soldier boys at Manila,
and that a further opportunity will be
given to send tbem, as the Sunday Ore-
gonian says:. "The Emergency corps
will receive boxes for the soldiers at
Manila all through tbi9 week." It has
been ascertained, however, that they
should be shipped from here by Friday
morning. Notice is also given that
none of them must weigh more than
fifty pounds. : The freight charges are
free from Portland, and as the D. P. &
N. Co., has previously carried them
free to that ' place, they will no doubt
do so again.
The gobgobblins and spirits were un
usually quiet last night, and must hare
been on their good behavior, or else
most of the gates in our city were suc
cessfully held down by parties returning
from the entertainment, for few were off
their h:nges this morning. " However,
residents of the hill were reminded that
last night was Hollowcen when they at
tempted to rome down the Rinheart
steps this morning - and found them
blocked by a cart, which had been placed
so that it was impossible to pass. We
have learned Mr. J. C. Means was minus
cart this morning' which he is very
anxious should be returned. Speaking
very emphatically regarding it be said:
If my cart isn't returned tonight I'll
find oat who stole it and be will suffer
the consequences" Now, boys and girls,
return Mr. Meins' cart, and we advise
yon to do so after he has retired.
ONLY AIR AND NOTHING MORE
'Air Ship" Fell Flat, Bat Mot Flatter
ing Sball IV e Have Good Shuwc?
The Air ship company, which was all
that the name implies, very airy, suc
ceeded in disgusting an unusually large
audience Saturday night, and making
them wish an air Bhip would transport
them to any old place but where they
were. People who, after reading the
flattering notices given bv-theOregonian,
and fooliebly copied by the papers here,
went to the opera house expecting to
see a passably good play, were com
pelled to listen to what would not be
considered an excuse for a 15 cent va
riety show.. There was not a plot to the
play, not a singer, an actor, a dancer,
nor even a pretty fcirl on the stage, the
only redeeming feature being the beauti
ful scenery, and the tableau between
the second and third- acts. The play
consisted of well, c-'il give it np, un
less it was a conglomeration of skiits,
which were built bj 119 to display homely
forms.
No blame can bo attached to the man
ager of the opera house, who did all in
his power to find out the true status of
the companv. It seems a good deal of
money must have been put up in Port
land as every report has been flattering
However, if such plays were the only
ones broneht to the city it would be no
more than could lie expected, for some
how it seems they are the etyle most
appreciated. When such singers as Yaw,
such actors as Ward, or even as the
Noble company, which need no recom
mendatiou troni any one, appear in our
city, about a dozen gather at the opera
house to greet them, while the reed of
the theatre-going public have as an ex
case tor their absence that tney were 'so
bilked' when Si Perkins and the - Air
Ship company were here," that they
were "afraid to attend." The next week
when some snide minstrel or third-class
"Uncle Tom's Cabin" show pastes'up
its glaring, heart-rendering bills, a rush
is made for seats and the opera house
will hardly contain the crowd.
What incentive istherefor a manager
to eildeaver to get good companies to
visit our city ? None.
CLEAN UP THE STREETS.
The Subject Slay Be a Chestnut, But One
Worth Opening;.
We cannot refrain from making an
other plea in behalf of the appearance
of our streets, for a-small effort on the
part of each individual citizen would
make snch a marked difference in the
general effect which oar city produces
on etraiigere who are here bat for a day.
Remaining longer the visitor is im
pressed with the immense amount of
business which is going on, bat spend
ing jast a short lime in our city-one can
not fail to have unfavorable impressions
when upon looking around they see the
streets and sidewalks covered in debris
here a box; there an old plank, block
ing the way; old tin cans, papers, etc..
scattered promiscuously abroad and
everything in disorder. AH these Small
matters, be tbey ever so trivia to those
who are accustomed to ' viewing them,
give the city an untidy appearance.
The cities, Bach as Denver, which are
noted for , their pretty, clean streets.
employ men who go through them every
night, removing every scrap which has
collected daring the day and sweeping
the pavement. A place the size of The
Dalles could not be expected to do any
thing of this tind; but each individual
owner of property can do his part.
Suppose every merchant should make it
his business to see that the sidewalk and
street around his place of business is
carefully cleaned and the scraps of pa
per, etc., removed every morning, what
different looking business streets we
should have. It would require bat a
few moments of the porter's time, and
not only add to the general appearance
of the city, bat to the attractiveness of
his particular store. ' Any purchasers
would naturally expect to find the best
goods at the neatest looking place.
Can we not prevail upon our citizens
to study this matter over and decide to
make an effort along this line?
Worthless Hoodlums.
Last night several hoodlums of about
fourteen and sixteen years of age were
tearing around generally up near the
merry-gp-round and finally succeeded
u ecaring up a fight, which is the height
some boys.' ambition. Nightwatch-
man Phirman arrived on the ecene and
endeavored to quiet -thenr, when Carl
Ostlund, who lately ran away from the
reform school in Salem, raised an iron
bar and struck at him, coming within an
inch of striking him, which would cer
tainly have been fatal, had be. not
dodged in time. Ostlund was taken to
the city jail, ' where at last reports he
was etill confined. As. the watchman
took the young villian to his present
quarters, there followed in his wake
about a dozen boys of the same ilk, brag
ging as to how near they came to down
ing the officer. -V.
This element in Tbe Dalles seems to
be endeavoring to get the upper hand of
reform schools,' parents and officers. It
is appalling to think; of the future in
store for tbem if a stop cannot be made
to their wild career. Many of them can
not be kept in school, which is too often
the fault of parents who refuse to nphold
the teachers when tbey attempt to cor
rect them. Others, whoee parents can-
not afford to keep them there fail to find
employment because of their worthlees
ness. Who is to blame for this state of
affairs?
Y. P. s. c. E. Service.
At the Congreantional church last
night the service was under the direction
of the Y. P. S. C. E., the president, Miss
Story, conducting ihe meeting. The
singing was exceptionally good, (which
means much) two anthems being rend
ered by the choir ar.d a solo "Over the
Stars There is Rest" was sung by Mr.
Arvine Phelps, who several years ago
was wont to delight Dalles people by th
sweetners of his voice.
Rev. Poling gave a short address, tak
Ing as bi3 text the words of the Lord to
Elijah, "Whatdoest thou here?" Th
speaker in enlarging on the theme said
the-text implies purpose, which mus
be the foundation of every successful life,
Character is nurpose focalized Achieve

pose. Circumstances do not make the
man, bat are secondary. Great oppor

haps one cut of every thousand makes
success in life because of circumstances
while it has been proven even in th
life of the greatest of all examples, Christ
himself, ttiat the sublime purpose which
characterized hia stay on earth made
his lifa 'worthy of imitation. In con
elusion be nrj-ed the Endearorers to take
the words i f Pan! as their own when h
said: "But this one thing I do, forgetting
those things which are behind, and
reaching forth unto those things -which

the high calling of God in Christ Jesus,"
To Extend the Telephone.
The Prinevilie Review has the follow'
ing concerning the telephone line:
"Messrs. Seufert & Condon, of The
Dalles, have written to Mr. M. A. Moore
the president of the company, that they
wiil build from The Dalles to Sberar's
bridge. . The business firms of The Dalles
would no doubt' take some stock.
"If sufficient energy is put forth, we
could have telephone connection with
The Dalles. Other places with less buei
ness transactions nave telephone con
nection witn tne ontEiae and we see no
reason why Prinevilie should not,
If
our business men will on'v "loosen up'
a little it could be done. Oar etockmen
throughout the country should also assist
liberally in this enterprise. We have
frequently heard the remark : 'If we
had a telephone line to The Dalles I
would have made 1500 or $1000 by selling
when the market was up.' This remark
not only applies to our theep owners
but also to our cattlemen. Then why
cannot they subscribe $500 to an enter
prise that will be of incalculable benefit
to every one. We then could be ap
prised of the state of the markets in a
few minutes after being received at The
Dalles."

Edueational Meeting-.
Superintendent Gilbert seems to be
awakening an unusual interest in educa
tional matters all over the country, and
meetings such as have never been held
before are taking place in the different
districts. Saturday at Wamic about 175
people were present, and showed an en
thusiasm which speaks well for the peo
ple of that section.' Next Saturday a

THE GHOSTS' VISIT.
Large Attendance, and Snccestfal 1b
. Every Particular.
Not many more could have edged their
way into the Baldwin opera house last
evening on the occasion of the Holloweea
party given by the young ladies of the
Congregational churcb. The
whicb were over a hundred dollars, will
give some idea of the large number
which attended, although about $20 was
taken in at the candy booth and over
that amount at the lunch tables.
ine program was good, Hampshire
and Clark, as was expected, carrying
away the honors of the evening in their
negro sketch. Strangers were heard to
remark : "That comes up to anything I
have seen in professionals." Other num
bers on the program were a male quartet
by Messrs. Poling, Doane, Landers and
Phelps, which so delighted the audience
that an encore was demanded. The
guitar trio by Messrs. H. D. Parkins,
Erwin Parkins and J. R. Rees was very
-sweet, but round of applause failed to
bring them out again. Miss Myrtle
Michell's selection, "Past and Present'1
07 De Kcven, was loudly encored and
she responded with a lighter ballad,
"Rbse Sweet Rose." A number of the
ghosts of some of our liveliest young
ladies appeared in the ghost march, mak
ing the audience imagine they were with
Tom Sawyer in his graveyard act. They
evidently frightened themselves from
the manner in which tbey made their
exit.
The remainder of the evening was
spent in partaking of refreshments and
viewing the photographic collection
which was presided over by Mrs. Tolmie.
The Dalles has tinny artists in thia line
as was shown by the display last even
ing. -Two photographs of twin pap-
laucu uv iuuuicnuuKUi 1 fun it-Tvtiri
attracted much attention, and are cer
tainly the finest Indian pictures we have
seen.
The young ladies are to be congratu
lated on tbe decided success of their
undertaking.
