A letter received by A. Bettingen to
day from John Little, of Antelope, con
firms the report received yesterday by
Mr. Glisan, in regard to the where
abouts of Forester, and adds that it was
expected he would be captured Wednes
day. No further word has been received.

quintet club will be here Thursday

musicians, and the vocal part of the
program by local talent will add much
to the entertainment.
Several Dallesites received invitations
yesterday to atfcnd a jubilee meeting at
Goldendale tonight, the occasion for
which is the Republican victory just
achieved. There's nothing selfish about
Goldendale, and when they have a good
thing they call in their neighbors to re
joice with them.
On account of tie immense amount of
freight and large passenger list to
day, the stage line between this
city and Frineville was compelled to put
on an extra conveyance. For some time
this line has been doing an extra amount
of business, winch does not seem to
abate in the least.
The Oregon Telephone Company has
recently purchased the Sherman county,
line which extends from Grants to
Wasco, Moro and Grass AJalley. The rate
for telephoning from this city over that
"line has thus been reduced from fifty to
twenty-five cents. At their office in this
city a sound-proof booth is to be put in.
It is thought that the coal Kretzer will
strike near The Dalles will rate second
to none prospects show it. Then if
people down there will invest some of
of their savings in home improvement,
and part with less on life insurance bun
co, they may find The Dalles a second
Pittsburg lime fine day not far off.
Observer.
As a result of the teachers' examina
tion, which ended yesterday, the Follow
ing received county certificates : Second
grade, Bessie Hastings, Boyd ; Mrs. R.
K. Allard, Hood River. Third grade, G.
W. McClure, Boyd; Hester Howe,
Viento (who received a second grade
standing). There is one applicant for
life diploma.
In the handicap tournament last even
ing on the club alleys, the team com
posed of Stadeiman, Grimes and Kurtz
carried away the medal with a score of
552. Much excitement prevailed, as a
team consisting of Bradshaw, Schanno
and Baldwin bad won the two previous
games, and. bad they - been successful
last night would have been the winners
of the medal for keeps.
The Dalles is vigorously endeavoring
to have theTacoma and Columbia Biver
railroad extended on to their city. Mr.
Woods, a prominent mill man of that
city, is now in Tacoma doing some hard
work. - This road if extended would in
all probability go through this town.
That it would be a paying investment
is certain. The Dalles is probably the
greatest wool market in the world, yet
this is only one of the big industries
awaiting its facilities. Goldendale Ag
riculturalist. Thursday evening at the home of Rev.
J. H. Wood, who performed the cere
mony, Mr. Hiram Dodds, of Dnfur, and
Miss Elena M. Henry, of Croy, Wis.,
were made one. . Dr. Dodds has recently
located at Dufur, and his bride arrived
in the city from Wisconsin on the morn
ing of the day she was married. From
all appearances Dnfur is very fortunate
in having as residents such a refined
couple, who will no doubt prove welcome
adjuncts to society there.' -' "
' A number of young people gathered at
the home of Mr. and Mre. M. Parkins
last night to spend a few hours in music
and social converse. The evening was
a very pleasant one, and greatly enjoyed.
Mrs. Parkins had provided refresh
ments, realizing that music hath cLartns,
but' to be fully appreciated must have
some substantial accompaniment. Those
present were: Mieees Maie Cushing,
Maltie Cushing, Elizabeth Schooling,
Cora A. Joles, Emma Fisher and Hester
Howe and Mrs. R. R. Allard, 'of Hood
River, Messrs. H.M. Ryan, John Wiegel,
Clinton Alden, James Rees, H. D. Par
kins, Tunis Parkins, Erwin Parkins.
Poles have already commenced to ar
rive for the Oregon Telephone and Tele--
graph company. Copper wire will be
placed between The Dalles and Prine
ville, taking in the towns of Dufur,
Kingsley, Tygh VaUey, Sherars Bridge,
Bake. Oven, Ridgeway, ' 'Hay Creek,
Prineville and Antelope. This line will
cost between $30,000 and $40,000. The
tariff will be 50 cents from The Dalles to
Prineville, and a corresponding rate to
other points in the Northwest and else
where. , From Prineville and all other
points on that line parties will be able to
canverse with any town or hamlet in the
Northwest. ' The Oregon Company are
branching out to all of these as rapidly
as men and material can be procured.
Thursday evening at their heme on
3-Mile, a farewell party was given to
Eugene Moore, who will leave tomorrow
for Colfax. Music and games was the
order of the" eyening until they were
summoned to partake of the lunch pro
vided." A good time .was enjoyed by
Rachel Morean.KatherineSargent, Eiva
Creighton, Bertha Hill, Retta Taylor,
Lulu and Emma Creighton, Lena Moore,
ftnndhilda Beck. John Cooper, James
Taylor, James Creighton, Charles and
Arther Creiehton. N. Moore, Victor

Will, Eugene and Garfield Moore.
Yesterday a gypsy outfit visited The
Dalles and threatened for a short time
to stop not only the town clock, but the
wheels of the many and .varied manu
factories In the city. Fortunate it ie
that the arc lights are still under
bushel, or, with the assistance of
nnmber of citizens, thev would have
even Blcceeded
in putting them out.
The outfit consisted of a man, woman,
.two children, a bear, four cabs and a
monkey, the latter adding respectability
to the otherwise disheveled company
The woman was in full dress, decollette
with a vengeance, while the shortness of
her swell costume bore evidence that she
had no visible means of support, and no
stockings or shoes with which lo conceal
that fact. As the procession proceeded
the cubs could not for-bear to display
the small amount of agility which re
mained in their make-ups and began
climbing the telephone poles, much to
the delight of the small boy. who fol
lowed in their wake. Indeed, they were
a sorry looking lot, and many were
tempted to look into their own future
for the sake of making that of the poor
unfortuuates a little the less hard to en
dure. -
Monday's Daily. " . -
At the morning service at the M. E.
church yesterday thirteen probationers
were received into full membership in
the church.
This afternoon the jury in the case of
the United States vs. Basil Delore was
chosen and the case will come to trial
this evening at 7 o'clock.
At the fair to be given by the ladies of
the Methodist church next month, they
have arranged to have on band each
evening all sorts of pastry cooked in the
best manner possible. -
The harp though a favorite instru
ment, is not often heard. Thursday
night we will have an opportunity to
listen to its sweet strains when the
Wilder Quintette Club visits us. " . .
MaySr Nolan and Mr. S. French, rep
resenting the electric light company were
this afternoon engaged in viewing the
city, and determining the best corners
npon which to pla-.;e the new arc lights.
This looks like business.
Xchimney burning oul at . the resi
dence of Theodore Seufert last evening
about 6 o'clock, caused an alarm of fire
to be80unded, and residents to hasten
to the scene. Although the book and
ladder company succeeded in reaching
the residence at once, their assistance
was not cecessary. .
Yesterday's Oregonian - gives an ac
count of the death of Frank E. Rofeno,
of Portland, at Manila, Sept. 27th. Al
though the name was not spelt exactly
as Wm. Rnfeno, who was formerly em
ployed on the Regulator, spells his, yet
it is thought to be a brother, since be
had a brother named Frank E. . . .
Saturday evening Mrs. E. J. Collins
entertained a number of young ladies in
honor of Miss Cowles. The principal
feature of the evening was a candy pull,
which was greatly enjoyed. . The re
mainder ot the time was spent in music
and a general good time, while the re
freshments served was no minor part of
the program. .All report a gay time. '
Adjutant-General Tuttle and Captain
Mocum arrived in the city Saturday
evening and twenty-three passed the ex
amination required in order to become
members of the Oregon National Gnard.
The requisite number to form a company
at this place was not obtained,-but as
soon as the full list of names is obtained
the officers will return and swear them
in.
Saturday evening residenters in the
West End , noticed a team going by
driven (or supposed to be) by a- man
whose inclinations seemed to be to sit on
the ground and guide his . horses. He
finally succeeded in falling off the seat
to the ground cutting a lad gash -in bis
forehead. Passers-by picked him op
and carried him where assistance . could
be given and where he might be sobered
up; but the horses, evidently used to the
proceedings, walked away and would
have reached home without a driver had
not someone taken them In hand.
It is very evident that the thugs and
characters of the same ilk have not de
serted The Dalles, since they occasional
ly make themselves known. Last night
when Harvey Allen was walking through
the school yard .on Union stieet he was
greeted with an invitation to ,balt and
throw op his hands, which Harv, in the
goodness of his heart,coutd not' well re
fuse. The man then proceeded to trans
fer $1.10 and a cork screw from his
prisoner's pocket into his own. Harv.
I gays If he had thought of receiving an
invitation tola' hold-op he certainly
would have left the cork screw at borne,

Yesterday in Los Angeles, Calif., Mies
Bessie Cram, of this city and G. W. Mc
Ifamara, of Los Angeles, were united in
marriage. They expect to make their
home in that beautifulcity. Dalles peo
ple have only the very best of wishes to
extend to the young couple. -
A boy by the name of Merton, who is
employed in the broom factory in the
East End, . this afternoon fell on- eome
of the machinery of the. factory, badly
lacerating his bip. Dr. Hollister wae
immediately called and dressed the
wound, - ; - ..
Dr. C. H. Chapman, president of the
University of Oregon, is to resign, such
action to take effect at the end of the
present college year. Information an-'
houncing the contemplated resignation
was received Friday by members of the
board of agents in Portland, to whom
the news came as a complete surprise.
No previous intimation of: the .intended
action has been received. .'-
This afternoon"! he artist, Perrin, who
is visiting our city, made a display of
bis work at the residence of Mrs. O. L.
Barrett. He is a member of the R. A.
and also of the National Art League of
Europe, and his water colors are beauti
ful, as is also the tapestry shown by
him. Any who failed to see them to
day, may call at Mrs. Barrett's tomorrow
morning. .
Messrs. Isaac Joles, W. T. Young and
M. Miller returned yesterday from their
mining claim in Sand Gulch, Grant
county. They brought with them $560
in gold nuggets which were taken out in
clearing bedrock where the find of last
year was discovered. Mr. Joles informs
us that his claim is still very promising,
and that from present prospects his
most sanguine hopes will be realized.
This morning a large force of men
under Contractor Robinson left town to
commence work on the Seufert & Con
don telephone lino south from Dufur.
The residents of that section must be
rejoicing in the prospect of being in
such direct communication with the
towns and cities Which it otherwise re
quires such a length of time to reach.
This line has indeed been a blessing in
many ways.-
Frank Menefee today received word
from Mr. C. G. Roberts, of Hood River,
announcing the death of hia brother,
Jamee Roberts, today. ' Mr. Roberts was
in his 72d year and was a native of Gal-
sbiels, Scotland. He bad been sick for
some months at the home of his brother,"
where he died, hie death . being caused
by heart disease. The funeral vill take
place from the Congregational church in
Hood River, at 1 :30 o'clock Thursday,
November 17th. ,
From Mr. Joles, who reached the city
last evening, we learn ot an accident
which happened to a . freighter by the
name of Grimes yesterday on DesChutes
grade. Grimes had stopped his team
and was repairing bis brake before start-
ng down the grade, when in chopping
some pieces of wood to be used, the ax
slipped, 'cutting off two fingers of his
left hand. He immediately left his team
and went to Sherar'e residence, where
all the aid that could possibly be offered
under the circumstances was given him.
The mayor's real reason for vetoing the
light ordinance has just been discovered
by a reporter who interviewed him yes
terday and found him being petitioned
by a young lady not to place a light in
front of her residence. The mayor has
alwavs been a lady's man and surely
that must account for the aforesaid veto,
-as be could not, as Cradlebaugh would
say, refuse the "little dimitied darlings'
It is an assured fact, therefore, that no
agreement will be . reached unless the
lights are placed where they cannot cast
their rays on the numerous gates being
held down, or rather, the young ladies
bsing held up. . ",.'
Mr.- James Blakeley, who has been
visiting hisrson, George, in this city, re
turned this morning to Brownsville.
Mr, Blakeley is 86 years old and crossed
the plains in 1846, Reaching The Dalle?,
bis party built flat boats in which they
went down the river. He still lives on
the donation' land claim which was
given" him" in " that year, the city of
Brownsville being located on his claim.
This is a remarkable ' incident, as per
haps a similar case could not be found
in the state. During the Rogue river
war in 1856 he formed a company, among
the members of which were Marshall
Hill, Arthur and W. Walker, and J. A.
Gnlliford. ' .Yesterday the old gentle
man . was delighted and surprised to
meet hie old lriend Max Ramsey , of Sher
man county, whom he had not seen for
forty years.- Mr.. Blakeley is very well
preserved lor one of his age, and his visit
with his sons in Eastern Oregon has
been very enjoyable.
'At a meeting of the Woman's Club in
Portland a vote was taken as to' which
would be the most appropriate choice
for onr state flower, and a decided prefer
ence was given the "Mahoma," or Ore
gon grape, although uiaay . others were
suggested, such as the squash blossom,
and one old bachelor1 suggested the
bachelor's button. .- Bachelors are cer
tainly very much in evidence in Oregon,
but as to their buttons, unless the famous
button woman, who made herself so
obnoxious in this city some time since,
make" herself numerous in the state
soon, they will be minus. The married
men, are partial to the early morning
glory ;the married women, four o'clocks
the young men, tulips or the moon
nower; me young ladies, Heartsease or
the dandelion ; old maids, the century
plant, and one gentleman, presumably a
miller, suggests that nothing can be
mure representative than good wheat
flour, unless the honor be shared by
little old rye.And yet when it comes to a
decisive vote nothing can be more ap
propriate or give more genuine satisfac
tion than the Oregon rape. -Reioluttooaen

New or Forester,
Monday Sheriff Kelly received the fol
lowing letter from Deputy Sheriff Brown
at Antelope, dated Nov. 13th.
"The latest concerning Forester says
he is in the vicinity of Prineville. Some
immigrants came in town last evening
and said they saw. him yesterday and
that he was making his way toward Car
micbel's Crossing, on Crooked river,
where be expected to stay all night.
They gave a pretty good description of
the man and it "tallied fairly well with
Forester. Frank Gum, John Brogan and
Dave . McKelvey immediately left for
Carmichel'a Crossing, and will in all
probability get there before this morn
ing. .''.-.
if it is the right man and he is still
there they will get him, as they are all
determined men and are well prepared
to take him. If it were Forester, and be
bad left the crossing they will follow
htm nntil they get bim. If they fail to
get bim or if it is tbe wrong man I don't
see as I can do much ' more, as he pro.
bably is too far away by this time to
send men after bim from here. I think
the reward is all that will catch him now.

... Deputy Sheriff.

SHOT DOWN AT HOME
Pendleton Young Woman Probably Fa
tally Wounded A Cbineie
Tomb, Suspected.
Miss May Wallace, a teacher in the
Pendleton academy, was shot' through
the body while standing by a window at
the home of ber parenta in that city at
9 o'clock Thursday evening. The shot
was fired through the window glass by
some person who stood outside of the
bouse.- Suspicion, rests upon a young
Chinese named Goon as the perpetrator
of the crime.
Miss Wallace came there from the
East with her father's family a year ago,
and has beon teaching at the Pendleton
academy. She is one of the brightest
most cultivated, intellectual and charm
ing socially of all the young' ladies of
that city.
Miss Wallace has been teacher of a
class of Chinese youths, in addition to
her regular duties on the faculty of the
academy. Recently she expelled Goon.
a young Chinese boy-, probably not more
than 20 years old, from the class. Goon
was much mortified and enraged at bis
expulsion." . -
That night, just at 9 o'clock, Miss
Wallace stood by a dining table in her
home on Webb street, doing some sew
ing, when some one fired through the
window, the bullet entering' her body
just below the hip joint, ranging op
ward and coming clear through, so the
surgeon located it on the other side just
beneath the skin. An operation was
performed and it is difficult to determine
what the result will be. Phvsicians
however, fear the worst, as it is feared
the vital organs have been so affected as
to prevent her recovery. -

Viavi company, whose headquarters are
in Portland, will lecture to ladies. in
the email K. of P. ball on Tuesday, Nov.
15th, at 2:30 p. in. . Subject: "Health
and a Higher Life for Women."
These lectures are very instructive to
all ladies and none should lose this op
portunity to- hear Mrs. Read, who has
been in the lecture field for tbe past
seven years. She claims that physical
reform is the basis of all reforms, and
that when health and happiness reign
in the home, the saloons and other
questionable places of amusement" will
close their doors for want of patronage.
This is one of the reform movements
ot the nineteenth century that has
spread all over the civilized world and
is endorsed by the clergy and all cul-
tureu peopie woo are interested m good
works and whatever is of benefit to the
human family. No admission is charged.
All ladies are cordially invited.

Funeral of G. H. Barnett.
Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock the
funeral of G. H. Barnett took place at
the Methodist church, Rev. J. W.
Jenkins, of Hood River, assisted by Rev.
H. Wood, conducting tbe ' service.
which was very largely attended. The
choir sang, "Asleep in Jesus," after
which Rev. Jenkins, taking for bis text
words of Apostle Paul, "I have fought
the good fight ;I have finished my course ;
have kept 'the faith. Henceforth.
there is laid up for me a crown of right-.
eousness which the Lord, the righteous
udee shall give me at that day ; and not
to me only, but unto all them also that
love his appearing," spoke of the life
work of the deceased being one whose
fruits .will be gathered for years to come
and tell in the lives of many. Rev."
Wood then made a few remarks con
cerning hia early acquaintance witn
Father Barnett, hen as a boy he listened
to his words of wisdom and looked np
to him as an example.
