Io the circuit court today a decree of
divorce was granted to Martha M. Wick-
ham from R. F. Wickhaui.
7 This section has been visited by eev
eral good showers of late, and the grass
. on the range is beginning to look qnite
tempting to the sheep again. Heppner
Times.
- A report today from the ladies of the
. Catholic cborcb is to the effect that
.greater financial success was attained at
their bazaar than was at first thought,

G. B. Bosh, of the Oregon Telephone
Co., came op from Portland yesterday
and left today for Dafar to establish an
office there? Their line will be com
pleted as far as Dafar either on Monday
or Tuesday of next week. - -
The medal for the successful team in
the handicap tournament seems to be
destined R be a rolling stone, as no
team appears to be able to keep it for
- more7 than two weeks at a time. Last
night L. Schanno, J. Vogt and A. Bald
win captured it, with a score of 537..
The man who was arrested for
vagrancy yesterday called upon Re-
corder Gates this morning and was fined
$10. He is one of the kind who "pays
nothing, bat saws wood-,", and will in
the co one of the four days he is em
ployed greatly increase the pile of wood
at the city's reception headquarters.
The residents of The Dalles are soon
to have an - opportunity of hearing
another of Portland's- favorite; vocalists,
as the ladies of the Good Intent Society
fcave secured the services of Miss Rose
Bloch for their fair to be given next
month. She. will render solos two even
ings, which will be the beat of news to
every one. .
This afternoon a freight train passed
through this city, a part of which
brought winter with it, being covered in
now a foot and a halt deep. The cars
bad no doubt been nseJ in section work
' in the Blue mountains. The trainmen
derived a great deal of amusement from
' snowballing passers-by as the? went
through.
The jury in the case o Mrs. M. J.
Mosier vs. the O. R. & N. Co., having
been out since 9:30 p. m. yesterday, at
2:30 this afternoon brought in a verdict
for $1500.' Jn removing and straigbten.-
- ing the roadbed between this city and
Portland, an acre and a half of plaintiff's
land was caused to elide, and for the
damage she ened the company for f30OO,
receiving a verdict for half the amonnt.
In the football game on Thanksgiving
day between the Berkeley and Stanford
teams, the former won for the first time
in seven years, with a score of 22 to 0.
Daring the game Don Fisher, cf this
city, was carried from the field wifh a
badly twisted knee. Don is one of the
best players in the team, and reports
eay the accident finally capped the
limax. v
It was rumored yesterday that E.
- Beck, formerly a jeweler in thiscity.was
one ot the losers m the recent San
Francisco fire ; bis store being one of
those on the ground floor of tbe build
ing. However, as his name is not re
ported in connection, with the" names
- given in the dispatches, it is thought by
bis friends to be a mistake as to his be-
. ing included among those whpwere
. barnedont. .
.Workmen on Mays & Crowe's new
building have made their heads fairly
swim in the attempt tt get the structure
enclosed before the winter storms came
on. . Today will see it completed, roof
and all, and Monday work will be be
gan on the interior. So rapidly has the
building gone ap that it seems bat a few
days since work on the foundation was
began. Would we had a number more
ot the same kind in the coarse of con
struction. If the children of the public schools in
our city grow op to be selfish men and
women it will not be because the prin
ciples of generosity have not been in
stilled into their minds. Last' week,
hearing that Superintendent Gardner,
of the Boys and Girls Aid Society, bad
appealed for help, tho' teachers of some
of the primary rooms made it a point to
mention the fact to. their-pupils, many,
of whose parents readily-responded, and
- quite a sam was thus raised and sent to
. the institution at Portland. It was a
commendable move, and will certainly
- tell in the character of the men and
women of the future.
' The patriotic entertainment at the
Christian church last evening was a
very creditable affair, and the treasury
of the Christian Endeavor Society is en
hanced to the extent of about $15 there-
" by. " This r program 'was entertaining
throughout', there being several original
and unique tableaux introduced, while
the patriotic selections otherwise were
3f :
hiohl awAntahla to the audience; As
a slight diversion, six of the yonng peo
pie had prepared a humorous dialogue
entitled "Peleg and Patience," which
was exceedingly well rendered. - At the
conclusion of tho program, refreshments
were served in the baeemcnt of the
church, and a social hoot was spent to
good advantage by all present.
No more enjoyable, and at the same
time instructive, amusement caa be had
than that furnished by the various
guessing games now so mnch in vogue
in society circles. One of the most novel
was that which engaged the attention of
a number of young ladies who were
entertained bv Mrs. W. H. Wilsonllast'
evening in honor of Miss Wilson, of
Springfield, Ohio, who Is a guest at her
home. It was termed a "Flowery Love
Tale." and each Question asked' was
answered by the name of some familiar
flower, such as, "To whom did theyoang
lady refer her lover?" -1'To - Poppy."
"Who performed the ceremony?"
"Jack in. the Pulpit." Miss Louise
Bach proved herself well versed in flow
er lore and was presented with a beauti
ful painted picture frame, while Miss
Linra ThomDBon! less - fortunate , in
guessing, was equally, fortunate waen
the ptizes were given.' A number of
musical selections were rendered during
the evening and the refreshments were
extremely tempting. Before parting
Mrs. Wilson took a number of flash
light pictures of the young ladies, which
will be treasured by Miss Wilson and
her guests as reminders of a very pleas
ant evening: '""-;. ; -
Monday's Dally.
Next Friday evening Chaplain Lozier
who is a renowned lecturer and one who
is particularly pleasing, will appear at
the M. E. chnrch under the auspices of
the League, and speak npon the subject
of "Apron Strings."
You will regret it if you make exten
si vo preparations for Christmas before
attending the fair next month. -..
ladies will have on band all sorts of
fancy and substantial articles, and yoa
will surely find what you want.
A band of 4000 sheep', which had been
purchased by a Montana dealer named
Harvey, were brought to the city yester
day and will be shipped tomorrow morn
ing. They were bought from Messrs
Mays, Rooper, Grant, Don and others.
It was expected ti-at .- the November
term of circuit court would be an extra
long one; but matters were dispatched
so promptly that the session has already
adjourned and the jurors and others in
terested have gone to their respective
homes. "' " "
Word was received in this city yester
day that George Bice, eldest son of Wes
Rice, was dying of typhoid pneumonia
at the home of his parents in Perris,
Calif. He had been attending echool in
Sacramento and came home seriously
ill. As it was requested that either hie
uncle, J. E. Barnett or D. . W. Mann
come down, the latter left this morning
for that place. -
Of coarse The Dalles will, help the
Canyon City sufferers, and this morning
when a petition was presented to her
citizens,- they responded nobly. ' No
sum, however small, is . refused, and so
everyone can come to the front in this
good work. ' When the list is handed
to you add your name to it, and what
you will scarcely miss will go i& toward
lightening the burdens of those whose
homes were so ruthlessly taken from
them. " ".'' '
The recent heavy rains and the snow
that has fallen came too late fo start the
grass, bat will be of great benefit to the
stcck. ' Springs and streams had so
nearly diied up that cattle and horses
were suffering from want of water, es
pecially so on account of almost uniform
ly cold nights .that-prevailed, daring
the first part of the month, freezing up
the little watet that remained. Crook

Ye8terdayConstable E. : S. dinger
brought up from Hood River John K.
Stocking, who had been arrested for in
sanity. ' This morning he was examined
before Judge Mays, when he was dis
charged, as bis insanity could not be
proven. . Hood River is so accustomed to
having cases of insanity in its midst that
the residents must have concluded ' they
were neglecting their duty and that it
was time they were Stockin op.' ; '
Mumps have been holding high carni
val in oar city, and are still qnite numer-
oas. Although they are very paintai,
no alarm is caused by their appearance.
However, the slightest hint of a case of
scarlet fever causes much anxiety, and
so this morning when it was learned
that Carmel Bolton was ill of this dread-
fat disease and a flag had been bung oat
at the home of Mr. J. W. French, where
they reside, much concern - was felt.- It
is hoped that it will prove to be a light
case and spread no further through the
city. '.. . ... 1 - - " - '
Saturday evening a parly of friends of
Mr. and Mrs. Mel M archie repaired to
their borne on the hill with, the intent
of offering their congratulations and. en
joying a" few hoars with them. - The
gathering was a surprise to the recipi
ents and proved to be a source of great
pleasure to all, as they joined ifl conver-1
sation and music, at the same time not
forgetting that the best of good will al
ways prevail around, a well-spread table.
As an expression of their good ' wishes
Mr. and M re.; M archie, were presented
with some very pretty silver pepper and
salt sbakerB.rMhe 1 following young peo-
pie composed the party : Mr. and Mrs.
Teague, Mr. and Mrs. Ed HilJ, Misses
E.lythe Randal, - Hilda Beck, Lola
Ewbank, Mtssre. Frank Wood, Freas
Saunders and Chester Starr.'
- Ed." Warren, who was arrested at
Sumpter on a "warrant issued oat of
Jadge Rulison8 court on a charge of
arson, had his hearing at Canyon City
last Tuesday, the jadge on convening his
court Wednesday - stated in substance
that in his opioion be did not consider
the testimony sufficient to convict the
defendant, but in the name of justice he
deemed it proper that the defendant be
held to await a farther investigation by
the grand jury. His ' bond was placed
at $1000, which was not given at last re
port from Canyon City.
Saturday . evening Mies -Margarette
Kinersly entertained a number of young
friends.in honor of Miss Jennie Berea-
ford, who is her guest. Nothing which
could add to-the pleasure of the evening
was overlooked, ; and as they sang
danced and - played games it was evi
dent that all were enjoying themselves
to the fullest extent. Mrs.Kinersly had
prepared a very inviting lunch, and each
one vied with the other in showing their
appreciation of;, the good ' things pro
vided. ; The hours were small before
the company could tear themselves away
from so much enjoyment.
'A correspondent writing to a Golden
dale paiier says :- "Never has the writer
seen The Dalles road in a better condi
tiori for travel than this fall. Rome work
was put on the road on the Columbia
side of ttiemoontain, soon after the first
rains thlsTall. which put the grade in
very good shape." .And this very fact
has been telling on the trade which has
come to this city from our neighbors
across the way..'; It requires a great deal
of work and constant attention to keep
this road in any kind of. a condition, the
sand done causing much trouble, bat it
pays in the long run, and, with the in
ducement of free ferriage given to wheat
producers this, fall, has been a source of
profit to all concerned. Not only have
Dalles people felt its effects, but Klicki
tat farmers have been benefited thereby
"When she will she will and yon can
depend on it," and so . the goat which
has so long held undisputed right of way
through the streets of oar city, must go,
for so say the ladies . whose rose-bushes
and garden shr-ubs have furnished food
for his 833thetic taste. ' "The .flowers
that bloom in the fall have something to
do with his case." Long has he roamed
about with his noEe in the air and bis
right there was none to dispute, but the
tables have turned and the place that
once knew him shall know him no more
forever, for "they've got him on their
list." He will not - be raffled, neither
will he be re-tailed, nor sold for batter
(nor worse); bat when that weapon that
is mightier than the sword (the broom
stick) is weilded in vengeance' over his
offensive hide, there'll not be enough of
him left to tell the tail. His days are
certainly numbered,and no more will he
be seen gracefully scaling the fence, for
he has committed his last offense, either
in public or u6 rosa. ' .

Orlando Morgan. . whose borne has
been ou S-Mile since childhood,, arrived
in the city yesterday morning with' his
wife, having-been married at Grand
Junction, Colo., in September. They will
make their future home at the old home
stead on 3-Mile.
A letter received from Mrs. Winans,
ot Hood River, yesterday by a friend,
said that she was expecting her son,
Walter Dickey, to return any day. A
gentleman who came up from Portland
last night informs as that he arrived in
that city yesterdsy. '-'-"-'J'-.' -7 " '
Yesterday an explosion of giant powder
and caps, used by the workmen in blast
ing for the water trenches, took place on
Jefferson street, and several of the'men
received slight scars.. The' explosives
had been placed too near the fire and
finally made the fact known. No par
ticular damage, however, was done. . ' . .
On account of the -removal of - The
Dalles steam, laundry from its former
quarters to First street, adjoining the D-
P. a A. N. Co's. office, the work this
week has been somewhat delayed. - To
morrow morning work will ,be resumed
in earnest - in the new quarters, and
patrons tray expect to receive laundry
in good time. ' " -
Yesterday $103 were raised in oar city
and $81 of it forwarded to Canyon City.
On account of a report which came out
in the ' Portland Telegram last evening
saying that Canyon City people refuse
future help, claiming that they have a
sufficiency, collection has 'been ceased
until word Js received. Much more
cocld have been raieed were it necessary.
The ehpw windows in our city are re
minders that' the merriest time pi all
the year is near at hand,' some of them
being already beautifully - decorated.
One which' is especially pretty fs the
arrangement of he glass medallions in
the window of E. Jacobsen's store. , The
designs are most artistic, the color giv
ing them a - touch which makes them
very life-like. . ....
Last night Night Watchman Phirman
ran across one the boys who ran away
from Portland a few days agar, on the
streets, of oar city, and taking him nnder
bis-protecting wing, hied him 'to the.
county jail. ; His father, was then tele
graphed to. Who will- arrive and see that
the runaway boy gets home. The latter
is, however ready-to " turn his .steps
homeward, not having found the bag of
gold at the end of his journey. ' His
name is Huffin Donnelly, and he is 13
years old. '."- ' - - "
-Mrs. Robert Kelly received a letter
this morning from her husband, which
was written, on the 26th at Sacramento.
Deputy Sheriff Sexton also received word
from him from the same 'city. He re
porta progress slow on account of failing
to get requisition papers at Salem, it be
ing Thanksgiving ; day. The papers
cowever, were to follow him. it was
his intention to start for Carson that
evening, arriving at Winnemucca Mon
day evening. It is thought now that he
cannot reach this city before the last of
the week. .. , "' - ;'
iooa itiver is to nave an immense

of La Crosse, Wis., are in the city today,
having just returned from Hood River,
in company with B. C- Judson, in
dustrial agent of the O. R. & N. Co., and
while there . arrangements were com
pleted for putting, in. a large mill, the
cost of which is to be $1,000,000. All
sorts of reports concerning it' are going
the rounds, such as that the company
will pat in a' plant and famish electric

The Antelope Herald says:- "Mr. J
H. Sherar, of Sberar's Bridge.displays a
friendliness towards educational inter
ests Which is but rarely found among as,
He refused to 'Charge for tollage, feed for
team, or for meals for three gentlemen
from The Dalles, who were . en route
to the educational meeting at this place,
saving that he could not charge them
wnne they were helping along each a
good cause.' Such a spirit is highly
commendable." -' His interest in the
welfare of Antelope has also been .very
extensively displayed, be having charged
bnt half toll on all the lumber shipped
from Wainic to re-bnild the part of that
town which was destroyed by fire,-.

'Within the past few days reports
came in that several., hundred head of
sheep have died in various sections of
the country, seemingly of poison," says
the Heppner Gazette. "In an interview
with Frank Farns worth, he informed ns
that over one hundred have died within
the last day or two in their corrals, be
longing to his father and Mr-. Bishop;
His supposition coincides with other
sheepmen, who believe that climatic
conditions have brought to the surface
an alkali poison which is doing the mis
chief. Messrs. Herri n and Stevens are
also reported losers of a Dumber of head.
It seems a wise suggestion that an
analysis be made and the result might
enable the sheepmen to combat the
evil." ' ' - ' :' -' : -
WHERE SHALL: AID' BE GIVEN?
Do VTe Help Those Who Hare Mo Care to
" ilelp Themselves? .
The question of just " how much as
sistance should be given men who travel
the country over and infest : our cities
claiming that it is impossible to secure
employment and asking help of those
who are more fortunately situated,' is a
greatly controverted one,, especially - be
tween kind-hearted house-wives', and
their husbands, the latter claiming that
the least encouragement given tbem is
best for them and the country in which.
they live. The. Dalles has of late months
been remarkably free from such visitors,
bat in former years as many as eleven
of these self-invited guests: have been
fed in one dayJay women, . who in the
fear of turning away the wheat with the
tares, have granted : every request
made. ' -' '' . '.''"-
The Oregpnian yesterday in dieenssing
the matter, took sides against the 5-cent
restaurants, soup kitchens, 1-cent dishes
and lunch, counters, -claiming that so
long as men can live around town for
nothing, or next to nothing, they, will
do so, while contractors fairly beg for
workmen There is plenty of , work at
railroad building, grabbing-, quarrying,
elc.,.but scarcely a man can be found
who is willing to give up "city life" and
wield the pick and shovel in the' sec
tions where such work is to be had.
How often, have . parallel cases been
encountered in oar own city, when day
after day are we requested for "hand
oats" and at the satne time farmers in
the interior are advertising far and near
for. harvest bands.' - " ,-'
Not only does this question apply to
the men, bat time after time when our
charitable institutions . have been ap
pealed to for - help for destitute families
and responded liberally, have those who
go as messengers of mercy foundrown
up daughters standing -ready to accept
the aid given, never inquiring' as to ' the
number of calls made for household help.
Frequently it is discovered thatlbe Very
clothes given have been donated by
; some woman or girl who has 1 stood for
rj tenrhours a day in stores or offices, work
ing far harder for her daily bread than
would these strong girls be .required to
do in some family, where,- when -'.her
work is done she will find hours which
are her's to rest or spend as she may
like. . - - , -1'- '
Not that we would advocate the idea
of lessening the work of charity or ceas
ing to give aid to those who are destitute.
One of the circumstances . which made
Thursday -the best Thanksgiving day
spent in many years in Oregon was the
fact that everywhere was this grand
work made to predominate over every
selfish thought. But for fear of en
couraging indolence, is not. the idea of
the Portland employer, good one, when
he advocates looking into the worthiness
of subjects for charity and inquiring
whether or not tbey might procure em
ployment, before promiscuously giving
aid. -.; - - . - --
FREIGHT SLIGHTLY WRECKED.
Train Broke In Two and Three Wheat
Laden Cars Thrown From
the Track.
- One . of those fortunate " . accidents,
wherein but for the if, which means so
much, a serious and fatal catastrophe
mast have taken place, occurred Saturday
night just after the west-bound freight
from Umatilla had passed the Summit.
The train had just twenty-five minutes
in which to reach The Dalles before the
passenger arrived, when a journal-box
broke, letting the truck down and caus
ing the train to break in two and three
cars loaded witlj - wheat to leave the
track, piling up in a heap. Engineer
Ferguson, seeing that nothing else conld
be done, sent a flagman back toward the
Summit and started on to - The- Dalles
with the forward part of the train. Just
as they reached . Seufert's, - three miles
from town, the east-bound passenger
made its appearance and was flagged,
when it backed down to the ' city and
was compelled to wait until 8 o'clock
yesterday morning.- 'In the meantime
the 3 :30 and 7 o'clock west-bonqd trains
were flagged, and were also compelled to
wait nntil the track was cleared. - "-
A large force of men from here, and in
fact all the workmen to be obtained,
were sent to the scene of the wreck, and
the work of clearing progressed rap
idly, t ; "---:
- Fortunately no lives were lost and the
loss to the company is slight,being about
$300, barring the delay.
Trainmen, however, eay that had the
accident occurred half : a mile further
west,- one of the worst wrecks ever
known on the road would have taken
place, as the steep . down grade would
necessarily have added to the disaster.
Can Nothing Be Done? '
Oregon's volunteers at Manila will
be detained there indefinitely, and only
such as are incurably '" sick in ' that
climate will be furlongbed. That is all
the satisfaction Senator McBride got at
the war department when he called
there and made a request to have onr
boys sent home. . - - ' .Vr ..
And yet every few days is the news
borne to some parent of the death of a
son, caused, not on the battle field while
fighting for bis country, but from neg
lect of officers ' who have their", lives
fairly in their bands and should, when
they are finally called to render up their
acconntsTlbe made to answer, to the
charge of murder. , Onlv so long ago as
Thanksgiving day were the parents of
Charles McKinnon caused to mourn the
death of their loved, one, who passed
away at Manila a day or two before, no
cause being given for his death, but
from letters received a short time before
friends are led to believe starvation was
the real .cause. His home was in Port
land. ' - . '
Is it necessary that we sit idly by
while this state of affairs continue? Can
nothing be done to at least compel the
government to do its duty, even if the
hoys cannot "be discharged? '
