composed of the following members; M.
' V. Phelps, first tenor; J. S . Landers,
second tenor; Rev. D. V. Polling, first

manager. '-These gentlemen : are each
known to be good musicians, with -fine
voices; and The Dalles is fortunate in
having such an organization in her

Even the Mormons know a good thing
when they see it, and have . therefore
purchased a half, section of sugar beet
land near La Grande; also 500 acres near
the Pierce tract, and other reality, mak
ing, a total of $40,000-wortb. - They have
platted the land, enrveyeil a street
through the center of the entire tract,
. and divided the land into 40-acre lots.
.A Mormon family will be placed on each
40-acre tract. '. Next apring they will
put in a large department store and
settle "a "colony of Latter-Day " Saints
there. Presumably a goodly number of
polygamists will be among them, which
will be encouraging to many lone women
who are now resorting to newspaper ad
vertising to secure some one to support.

At Tuesday's election In Multnomah
county Dr. S. . Joseph!, Republican
candidate for statu senator, was elected
to succeed Bon. Joseph Simon in the
state senate. Although the vote was
' light, tiffing less thaa - half of what it
AT REDUCED PRI
PEASE & MAYS,
was at the general-election in June, the
result shows that the Republicans of
Multnomah county are still very much
alive. Out of a total of 7733 votes cast.
Dr. Josepbi obtained 4646, a majority of
1559 over all of his competitors.
, The boys are busily-engaged In practic
ing their turn for the Catholic bazaar.
Four will take part in the turn, which Is
to be extra good. This will assure the
ladies a crowded house, not mentioning
other excellent features of the program.
What is "commonly knawn as the Pa
louse section of Washington, claims to
be the banner wheat raising country of
the world. : Within a radius of six miles
a crop to the amount of 2,000,000 bushels
was raised, and harvested this year. The
record is a good one and hard to beat.
The. "Pulse of New York" Company,
which was billed to appear in the Vogt
on the 2tst of this month, has changed
its date until the 5th of December. We
had hoped to have, the Bittner company
with ns soon.-but Manager Kinersly has
bad no word from tbem recently and
t'iey are .now playing in the Kootenai
country. '' ... . ... ;"
Today has been one of those days that
"must be dark and dreary." It rained
and the wind was never weary. But we
have no complaint to make unless it is
that it didn't rain enough. Yesterday
the fall was .10 of an inch ; today it has
been much Itss. However; it is to be
hoped that it has been more plentiful in
the country surrounding us.
The will of Hampton Kelly, who died
on Juniper Flat. October 16th, was filed
for probate in the county clerk's office
yesterday in - Portland. ; He bequeaths
all pf his personal property and real es
tate to his wife and. children,' with the
exception of $400 to '. Helen O. Manly, a
span of horses to Del ward Lloyd - Tru
man, and the use of certain property to
the Methodist Episcopal church.
: A number of changes are being made
in the agents of the O. R. & N. company
at different stations along the line, - J.
A. Walden, ; who has acted as nighi
operator here during-, the absence of I.

This morning twenty-one members of
Wasco tribe, 1. O. R. M., left fcy boat to
attend the -funeral of James Roberts,
which occurred at Hood River this after
noon, lie was a memberot the order in
California and was also a Past Sachem.
At such a time the brotherhood of the
various orders is shown to be genuine,
for whether it be a personal 1 friend or
one who - is only . knowa as a fellow
brother, the same respect is shown and
the same offices performed.

noor. today we have had .65 of an inch
rainfall, and from reports it is general
throughout the country.. :- ;
The Dalles is to have -entertainments
garlore in the near future. Mr. Kinersly
informs us that "Hi Henry's Great Min
slrels" will be here some time during
the first week of next month. . . ..
The Elks haVe secured the famous
orator, J). Solis Cohen, to deliver the
eulogy at their memorial exercises on the.;
first Sunday of next month. Certainly
the ball will not' contain the audience
on this occasion, for beside bearing Mr.
Cohen the services are beautifulfend im

' W. A. Shngerland butchered three
hogs tast week tba weighed 980 pounds.
There is nothing remarkable in that
statement,- but the hogs were grown
and fattened on prunes. ' Three weeks
before killing they were fed on shorts.
The time has come w hen Hood, River
cad fatten pork without relying on high
priced feed from a distance. Glacier.
Del Norte, the famous gnideless pacer,
with a record of 2:04, is in - this city,
where he will probably be .kept during
the winter. - Barrows Bros., the ownere,
have about decided to remain with him
at the capital city, until the coming
spring. He is quartered at White &
Wail's stable in the rear of the old post
office block, on Ferry ; street. Salem.
Statesman. . " - - r
For weeks, yea months, we have had
occasion to mention the "hull" of the
Regulator, and it now becomes our duty
to add the- stereotyped expression "as
we go to press," for at that time the
Reg. was putting ' on - her1 bull "hew
riggin'. . She looks more natural than
he ever has as she stands on her stilts
getting ready before "she starts, she
stirs, she move." . Tomorrow will , see
her togged in her new suit of clothes. .
Last night Mr, J. T. Peters' horse,
which was kept in bis stable at the East
End. "broke down the door and running
into'a projecting timber injured himself
so badly that he died this morning. The
horse was a valuable one, and one which
bis owner regrets parting with. James
Blakeney also had the misfortune to
lose one of bis horses last night. - The
animal had been sick for a week past
and last night went to horse's heaven.
Last night just i after the-boat arrived
there was an "Angel hovering round,"
and when some men were about to move
a wagon onto the dock, he was requested
to fly away. Being somewhat rattled he
forgot his wings and stepping aside fell
into the river. The water was but a few
feet deep, and by clinging to one of the
piles he kept his feet- until he could re
ceive assistance. -Mr. Angel got pretty
well ducked, and to prevent further bap
tisms the gates on the sides of the plank
have been nailed on.' '
Father Dilman, who hasheen in this
city during the past ' week visiting old
frjends and scenes, returned to Astoria
today. He was- formerly well known
and beloved in The, Dalles, having had
charge of the - Catholic church' in this
city in '63 and '64. For two - years he
was stationed at Canyon City, afterward
gogg to Astoria, where , he has since
remained.' The few - days spent here
have been very . pleasant - ones both for
the Father and his old friende, who were
pleased to meet him again. -.-
It Ralneth andAll Are Happy. '
So welcome was the shower this morn
ing that not a single individual was
heard to remark ".Rain, rain go away,1
for Johnnie is perfectly willing to post
pone his play indefinitely for the sake of
listening to the patter of the rain npon
the roof: but more particularly on the
parched earth. Even Nthe . workmen.
who have been endeavoring to get the
work on the new . buildiDgs in stick
shape that the : coming she wers would
not affect tbem, would not deign to
raise their voices in complaint; nor have
we yet beard a murmur from a young
lady in reference to new hats or bange,
All are content, and" especially the
farmer, for from reports the shower baa
extended into tlie country, wbere it is
sadly needed. ' The petition ; thatgoes
up now is that it may rain supreme and
continue to do so until its effects are felt
far and near. A bill has also been in
troduced praying thai .the weather re
main warm and that frost be prohibited
so that the most good may . come from
the Bhower ' "" - -

OUR BOYS MUST STAY.
No Immediate Preapeeta of Their Return
- " . from Manila. -
It was hoped that some arrangements'
would be made whereby Oregon's sol
dier boys might soon - return home.
However, neither those who have en
listed nor " their friends would ask for
their recall if their services are yet need
ed, for did they hot enlist With tbe un
derstanding that they belonged to their
country to be used for the maintenance
of its principles and to uphold its
honor? '."..'' ' ' v
Tbe following dispatch puts a quietus
on any' hopes which might have been
entertained as to their speedy- return to
home and friends :. ."."''
Washington, Nov 14. Adjutant-Gen.
Corbin said today, when asked if there
was any prospect of the early . return of
tbe Oregon volunteers, that there is not
at present; and that there are no regi
ments now available to take their place.
There has of late bran a strong demand
to have the volunteers at Manila brought
back to tbig country, but all such re
quests had to be refused, pending the
peace negotiations. If it ie determined
in the end to maintain a garrieon at Ma
nila, congress will lave to provide-rc::
lar troops to replace the voluntrsrs, iJt
of whom are anxious to return to this
country,
. While relatives' and friends of those
who are to be held at Manila do not
ask for their return unless their stay
there is deemed unnecessary, yet they
dOgBSk, and it should be demanded by
oar governor, that they be treated as
human beings. While reports are con
flicting ' concerning their treatment,
enough has - been written to assure ue
that the government or its .officers are
remiss in duty ; , and to such a degree
that their slackness become criminal.
The very fact that the men have been de
nied that which rightly, belonged to
them, or required to purchase what
had already been given them, is .proof
sufficient; but such extracts as tbe fol
lowing, taken from . letters written by
men whose statements we cannot deny,
make even those who have no loved ones
who are compelled to stand such treat
ment, fairly wild, or almost determined
to snatch ' them as brands from the
burning. One letter says r ' :' -
"Of the quarters provided us, you can
not depict the honors of our present
ones. -' We are quartered in an old Span
ish building," the closet of which is in
the same room. The sewerage is de
fective, and the stench which arises from
this cesspool of disease, is. beyond de
scription. There is no smell in America
equal to it. To reach the closet proper,
wejiave to wade through human offal,
thus laying tbe foundation for the fevers
which are prevalent, and generally end
ing in death. We are forced to sleep in
this loathsome atmosphere,- and if we
were not tbe strong, - heoitby men that
we are, could not stand it. - As it is, we
ariee in the morning with headaches and
sick etomachs. No wonder our . hospitals
are full. - Could this be remedied? Of
course it could'; : but the . officers only
laugh and do nothing." - - , ; -
How much can be gleaned by reading
between the few lines of . the following:
'Please excuse this scratching, as five
months in tbe army does not improve a
man's handwriting, especially when he
is eating government grub. ... It is near
supper-time now, and the chef is an
nooDcinc the ten-course bill of fare."
If they must remain, can we not de
mand thot they must have proper treat
ment. " . - " 1 -

suggested that the secretary be instruct

end that unanimity of action be secured.
Deafness Cannot De Cured
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, hearing will be destroyed for-'
ever; nine cases out. of ten are caused '; .
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the . mucous sur- . -faces."-'
-
We will give One Hundred Dollars for ' "
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Hull's Catarrh. . 'k

An Important Difference. '
To make it - apparent to thousands,
who think themselves ill that they are
not afflicted with any disease, but that
the system simply needs cleansing, is to
