Saturday's Dally.
'" Fred Hertz, a German, was today ad
tnitted as a member of Uncle Sam's
family.
License to wed was today issued by
the county clerk to Frank Heater and
Mildred Linweff, both of this city.
The Question now is. "What shall we
do with our streets?" They are too thin
for cultivation and too thick for naviga
tion.
We regret to learn that Mrs. S. B,
Adams is sti l very ill. So serious was
her condition this morning that her son
in-law, L. Brown, considered it advisable
to remain here, and therefore secured
J. D. Tunev to take bis place as driver
of the stage to Moro.
Farmers who came in town today re
port the main road in a very bad condi
tion. Mr. J, B. Haverly was considering
the advisability of following Noah's ex
ample; while L. Rice was congratulating
himself that his horses were tall so that
their heida could be seen above the
mud which enveloped tbem.
Walter McPhee, a laborer,who had the
misfortune to get his toes frozen a short
time since while traveling near Ripana,
causing him to be unable to walk, is now
an inmate of the city jail from choice.
Finding himself unable to proceed farther
be begged leave to spend a short time
within these not inviting walla in
preference to wandering aimlessly about
the streets.
Work on the new water mains seems
to be progressing very rapidly, although
it is claimed it has been somewhat de
layed, material not arriving. Today
they are engaged in changing the direc
tion of tb sewer on Union street, so
that it will not interfere with the courseH
which the main takes. It was expected
that the ten-inch pipe on that street
would be laid this afternoon."
This morning just as the Goldendale
stage was loading op in front of the
Umatilla House, one of the horses in the
lead became frightened and started to
run up Union street. The driver, who
was busily engaged placing articles in
the back of the vehicle", immediately
went in pursuit of the rig, and with the
assistance of W. H. Butts, succeeded in
stopping them. The two lady occupants
were much frightened, as 'well they
might have been.
D. Solis Cohen and wife will arrive in
the city this evening from Portland and
tomorrow afternoon Dalles people will
be privileged to hear this eloquent
orator deliver the address at the Elks
memorial. These exercises, which are
always very impressive, are looked
forward to from year to year as being
an occasion upon which some very ex
cellent addresses and sweet music are
listened to and where is beautifully ex
pressed the brotherly love which still
-exists for those who are departed.
Yesterday morning about 8 o clock a
strange atmospheric phenomena was
noticed in the heavens, consisting of a
streak of white extending from the
southwest portion of the sky almost
diagonally across to the northwest. So
bright was its light that a snap shot
taken by Mr. Brooks made a distinct Im
pression on the plate. It was also ris
ible this morning, with perhaps a little
less brightness. No one seems to under
' stand juft what it is. as nothing of that
nature has been noticed here previously.
A dispatch from Sacramento to the
Oregonian on Thursday eaid that Sheriff
Kelly passed through the city on that
day with Frank Forester, and it is
thought he will arrive here tomorrow
evening. The dispatch also says that
Vi a Ktara rt ff elAAft txraa mid I Ka Vamil,
officer. The notice of the arrival of the
prisoner is given that any ladies who
. wish to prepare bouquets may have
them in readiness. - Whether be be
guilty or not guilty remains to be settled
by the court ; but at any rate the Bowers
that bloom in the spring (or fall) should
have nothing to do with his case.
' Monday's Dally.
Last night was the coldest oae of the
season and frost was qoite numerous
this morning. The thermometer stood
last winter. . .
Last evening a number of the mem-
Ders ot cascade lodge, a. r. u. gave
a dinner in honor of their guest, D. Solis
Cohen, which was very enjoyable. ' Mr.
Cohen returned to Portland today. .'
Mr. Patterson, receiver, and Mr. Lu
cas, register, of The Dalles land office,
seem to be the right men m the right
place, ' People who have business with
them appreciate their promptness and
accuracy in business transactions. Grass

ing quite prominent in our store these
days. A collection of fancy glass and

W. 8. Keat, representing the Rambler
bicycles, is in town today. He is also
interested in the Rambler football team,
and arrangements have about beeu com
pleted for a game here on New Year's
day. This will be good news to all, for
aside from the fact of the enjoyment, it
affords a pleasant pastime for the holi
day. The Methodist church, both morn
ing and evening yesterday was crowded.
In the morning Rev. Tbobum, who is
the son of a missionary, and who him
self spent some years in the work in In
dia, addressed the audience oh "mis
sions." So earnest was he and so elo
quent and touching his appeal, that all
agreed they had never heard a better
sermon on this subject. The missionary
apportionment of $96 for the church
here was raised with.no special appeal.
In the evening Chaplain Lozier occupied
the pulpit and gave a stirring address
on the subject of dedicating what talents
we have to the work of the Master. At
its close he sang his beautiful solo, "The
Man of Galilee."
Last night the members of tbe order
of Elks attended the Congregational
church in a body. No previous arrange
ment bad been made with the pastor,
making it impossible for him to give an
address suitable to the occasion. How
ever, the eermon was much appreciated
by his listeners. Tbe music was especi
ally good, a very pretty anthem being
sung, and a duet rendered by Mrs. But
ler and Miss Schmidt.
Last night, while Miss Minnie Harper
and her sister were attending church,
some one entered her residence, near tbe
East Hill school, and ransacked things
generally. This morning when she went
to her trunk to get ber purse, she found
that it had been broken open and the
purse, which contained $4.50 in change,
stolen. Undoubtedly the burglar is not
a hundred miles from tbe city. These
petty robberies should be ferreted out
. Tuesday's Dally.
Travelers who had occasion to cross
the Klickitat mountains today, suffered
greatly with tbe cold. The wind is re
ported as beine colder than has been
experienced for years.
The diphtheria patient, recently report
ed in the Singleton family ,on the bill, is
said to be improving rapidly, and no
new cases are reported. There are said
to be a few scarlet fever cases, but
not serious ones.
George Van Duyn,
who ' committed
suicide In Aberdeen, Wash., on the 1st,
was a brother of Miss Emma Van Duyn,
who during ber short stay in this city
won so many friends and so much
ad
miration for her worth of character,
was also a half-brother of Mrs. W.
He
H
Mansfield.
This ' evening a meeting of the
club members will be held for the pur
pose ot electing officers. Every mem
ber is earnestly requested to attend.
The pleasure of having the ladies pres
ent on this occasion will of necessity
have to be foregone, so that ladiea'even-
ing this week will be paaeed over.
Last Saturday evening at a meeting of
the members of tbe Calvary Baptist
church it was decided to extend a call to
Elder W. B. Clifton, of Prineville, to
become pastor of the church in .this city.
He is eaid to be a fine preacher and an
excellent gentleman and it is to be hoped
the society here will secure his services.
Great preparations are on band for
the fair, and Wednesday, Thursday and
Friday nights of next week there will be
great "doina" at the Vogt. Good pro
grams will be beard every evening, Miss
Rose Bloch being tbe attraction for tbe
first two nights. Beside, tbe ladies will
have on band all sorts of articles for
Christmas presents.
If Dalles people have an idea they are
going to hibernate this winter ' for the
lack of amusements, they are decidedly
mistaken. They are to have entertainments-
galore. On the 12th the "Daz
zlers," which the Oregonian speaks so
highly of, will appear at tbe Vogt ; on
the 13th Mahara's minstrels will appear
at the Baldwin. On the 14th, loth and
16th the fair will be held at the Vogt, j
when the programs will be exceptionally
good, and on the 17th Hi Henry's min
strels will .visit onr city. What more
can we ask for?
It is certainly here. What? Winter
of course. Haven't you seen te people
rushing around today with collars turned
up and mufflers in evidence? And those
who are in a position to. judge, say
every indication points to a genuine
snow storm. The same conditions exist
which we had in 1884,' when on the 9th
of December the barometer read 30.51,
with a strong northeast wind. On the
13th snow began to fall and by January
10th we bad nine feet of snow. Don't
be frightened, we wonldn'tcare to be put
on oath as to whether or not tbe same
state of affairs will exist, but we will say
positively we won't have the same snow,
and we hope not tbe same amount.
However," the barometer today reads
30.70 and the minimum thermometer
this morning said 29 degrees. Let the
cold weather coue ; don't stop it. We
all feel better wbeh she's here, even .if
she does give us the ehake.
One Minute Cough Cure, cures,
That i what It was made for.
BOYS MAY COME HOME.
President's Policy la to Replace Volun
teer With Regular.
If the war department should send
woid, as a New Year present, to the peo
ple of Oregon that their sons, husbands
and brothers now in Manila would be at
home before the coming of spring, such
a shout of rejoicing has never yet been
heard in this state as this gift would call
forth.
. That such news may come is not at all
improbable; in fact, indications point
strongly in that direction, and tbe
mothers whose hearts have been full of
sorrow since their boy went away need
not yet lose hope, for their boy may
soon return.
Seven regiments of the regular army,
now situated in "Wisconsin, have been
ordered to rendevons at San Francisco
at once, preparatory to sailing for Ma
nila. This might mean that more troops
were needed there and nothing more
but for tbe tact that the president in bis
message to congress, says that it is his
Durnose to order the volunteers mus
tered out as soon as regulars can be sup
plied to take their places.
It is the opinion of military men that
any volunteer who can pass the exam
ination, and whose record is good, will
be admitted to tbe regular army if he
desires to remain in service. Few of tbe
boys in Manila, however, would be like
ly to enlist if they had to stay there, as
the months they have remained tbere
have been full of sickness, hardships and
death, and tbe majority of tbem are ful
ly ready to return borne.
'The president," said a gentleman to
day, ,-in addition to being a good and
wise man, is not adverse to gaining fav
or with the people, when such an action
does not interfere with the carrying out
of his policy, and' he no doubt realizes
that he could not do a more, popular
thing just now than to arrange for the
soldier bovs to come home. I believe
such arrangements will be speedily
made and that the order for mustering
out will be given within the next three
or four months, or earlier if the regular
armv conld bs increased sufficiently be
fore that time." Telegram.
Its Pulsation Weakened.
The "Pulse of New York" does
beat exactly the same as it did
not
last
year. The manager should take an in
ventory of bis company before adver
tising, for in vain did the audience last
night look for the members of the com
pany whoeo delighted them' last, year.
and who were billed to appear on this
occasion. Many were aware that the
Thompson tots would not be seen, hav
ing known of the death of the oldest one
atTacomanot long since. However,
the little ones who did appear, and who
are said to be the Lamb children, of
Portland, were equally as good and de
lighted the audience fully as much. The
part of the tough girl was also well taken
although not so taking as the famous
"button girl" of former .years. "Snpp
per" is the same old fellow and the life
of tbe show. His dancing was the best
ever seen on a Dalles stage. It was
thought the dancing of tbe Dutch char
acter with tbe Bitttier company was ex
ceptionally good, but "Snapper" excels
him.
These four characters constitute the
whole show, for with the exception of
the a single appearance of Jake, tbe
poker-playing German, the remainder of
tbe caste was very poor.
Mrs. Shields, who is familiar to Dalles
people, unless she improves materially,
will never make an actress, while Ed
ward Shields, who appeared in two
characters, had far better stick to bis
stereopticon than to be posing as an
actor, for if an audience wanted to attend
a stereopticon show they would call on
him as being a firBt-claea manipulator;
but no one would ever choose him as
hiving tbe slightest talent in the histri
onic line.
Tbe Pulse is all right in its way, but
it doesn't weigh much when it comes to
putting on tbe characters it advertises.

SOLDIER CLASSMATE HONORED
High School Literary Society GlTes a Re
ception to Walter Dickey.
Perhaps the most pleasant meet
ing ever held by tbe Higb School Liter
ary Society was tbe one of last evening,
when the program partook of a patriotic
nature and a reception was tendered
their former classmate, Walter Dickey,
who was a member of last year's grad
uating class, but who dropped his
studies to take up arms in defense of bis
country's honor. Their ' joy at eeeing
Walter was expressed in many ways,
the feeling bring intensified by tbe
thought that his life for a time bung by
a thread. In his speech before the so
ciety among other things be spoke feel
ingly of the death of t is comrade, Will
Fields, almost breaking down as be at
tributed his recovery to the loving min
istrations of he who yielded up bis own
life soon after. He also spoke-of the
kindness of bis former schoolmate, John
Cooper.
The main room of the high school was
beautifully decorated with flags and
bunting, while on tbe blackboard was
a sketch of Admiral Dewey which was
the work of Walter's classmate, Violet
Kent, The program rendered was as
follows:
Song Battle Hymn of the Republic Society
Roll Call Quotations from Whittier. . .Members
Sketch of Whdttier'8 Life Minnie Bartell
Recitation Circus Boy .....Jessie McLeod
Recitation Bine and Gray Bessie Vogt
Instrumental Soft) Pearl Grimes
Recitation Yankee Girl Stella Darling
Debate Resolved, That the Life of the Sailor is
Preferable to that of the Soldier.
' Affirmative; Harry Curtis and Ivan Oakes,
Negative: Lloyd Robinson and George Ruch.
Won by negative.
Speech Walter Dickey
Song America Society
At the close of the program a very nice
lunch was served, and for fear Walter
might miss the delicacies of a soldier'
life, hard tack was in evidence, upon
each piece of which tbe soldier wrote
message for his companions. At his
table wore seated the members of hi
class present and their teacher; at the
table nearest sat next year's class,
while at other tables were grouped his
schoolmates. - , .
Walter's furlough lasts until Decern
ber 21et, when, unless he is successful in
having it extended until after Christmas
he will return to Manila. He left this
morning for bio home at Hood River.
APRON STRINGS.
Witty and Eloquent Entertainment
Given By Chaplain lozler.
If the audience which attended the
entertainment last night has not a much
broader and better idea of mother's
apron strings as they are used to convey
the idea of companionship with and love
of mother, 'tis not because the subject
was not presented in tbe most eloquent
and expressive manner possible by Chap
lain Lozier. Tbe entire address was a
poem throughout, containing truths
both novel and far-reaching, expressed
in beautiful language. His tribute to
mothers was grand, and as he enlarged
upon a subject which is far beyond the
eloquence of mortals to describe, he
found an answering chord in tbe breast
of every member of bis audience, and
caused tbe tears tostart from many eyes,
Not only did he extol tbe virtues of tbe
mothers of tbe land, but, contrary to tbe
usual order of things, the mother-ic-law
who is a target for the stale jokes of
every tb'rrd-class minstrel show, and of
ten of the first-class addressee, received
her share of the praise which so rightly
belongs to her. While his tribute to
editors was not of such a nattering na
ture, it was none the less applicable,
therefore it was lucky for the poor un
fortunates that they remained at home
and were represented by their reporters
So much of wit was contained in every
thought brought forth that one was in
clined to give tbe strictest attention for
fear of losing some brilliant expression
involving bidden truths.
Ibe chaplain is a singer, as well as a
speaker, possessing a rich bass voice,
and his solos, "Tbe Man of Galilee" and
X our Mother s Apron strings ' were
particularly pleasing, being sung in a
very expressive manner, and so clear
were the words that not a thought was
lost. -
At the close of the entertainment many
remained to shake hands with the speak
er, as well as leave their names for bis
poem and receive copies of bis songs.
Forester Confined In County Jail.
In spite of tbe fact that nothing defi
nite bad been given out as to the train
on which Sheriff Kelly would arrive
with bis prisoner, curiosity ran so high
that for fear the opportunity of catching
a passing glance at Forester might be
missed, a large crowd was waiting at tbe
Umatilla House wben the 5 o'clock
train arrived Saturday evening, joining
in the procession which conveyed the
murderer of Brogan to bis quarters at
the county jail, which he will at least oc
cupy until the February term of court.
Sheriff Kelly reports an uneventful
trip back, the prisoner being very easy
to manage, causing no trouble whatever.
Tbey were delayed for a half-day at
Sacramento on account of some slight
accident .to tbe train, when he occupied
the jail at that place.
A Winnemucca paper, with whose re
porter Forester conversed freely, said
that. after the killing, which he claims to
have committed ; in self defense, he
walked 150 miles, when he bought a
horse and started for Nevada. On the
way he encountered a traveler, whom
he fell in with and to whom he dis
closed his crime, informing the fellow
that $1000 had been offered for his ar
rest. On reaching Winnemucca his
companion notified the officerp, who im
mediately captured him.
Forester is now closely confined be
hind the bars, and no one is peimitted
to interview him, although tbe prisoner
makes no objection. During tbe entire
day yesterday the sheriff's office was
crowded with visitors, many of them
acquaintances of the prisoner, eager to
see bim ; but it is impossible to grant
tbeir request, it being thought best to
exclude all visitors.
His case will not come np until tbe
February term of court.
ELKS' MEMORIAL.
Beautiful and Appropriate Exercises
Held Yesterday Afternoon.
It may be truthfully said of the
brotherhood of Elks that whatever is
undertaken by them receives their un
divided attention, and nothing that will
aid in the perfection of the desired end
is omitted by them. Perhaps this spirit
is more admirably displayed in tbeir an
nual memorial than upon any other oc
casion at which time their minds are
turned to loving thoughts and remem
brance of those in response to whose
names comes no sound save tbe toll of
the bell.
The exercises yesterday afternoon
were not an exception to this rule, and
those who were privileged to attend felt
that the hours spent with the Elks were
full of benefit to them, causing them to
imbibe some of tbe brotherly love shown
not only for those departed, but for all
mankind.
The opening and closing ceremonies
are indeed beautiful, and when added to
them is the eloquence expressed in ad
dress and song, they are doubly imprea
sive.
Tbe music by the Columbia quartet
was particularly well chosen, and sung
with such harmony and expression that
all were enraptured. Nothing so com
pletely carries one away and adds
solemnity to such exercises as does the
stra n of sweet music, fairly lifting one
above. The solo, "Calvary," rendered
by Mr. Wm. Crossen was so well adapted
to the richness of bis voice that as he
sang "Rest, rest for the weary ; peace.
peace to the soul," it seemed that no
selection conld have betn more appro
priate nor so well suited to such an oc
casion as were tbe words and music of
that solo.
The eulogy delivered by Hon. John
Michell was extremely eloquent and so
delivered that not an iota of its depth of
feeling was lost on his hearers. His
words in remembrance of the two de
parted brothers, George Clacking and
Owen Williams, showed truly that their
faults bad been written on' the sands,
while their virtues were engraven
tbe tablets of love and memory. ,
, Those who had expected a treat when
it was announced that one of Oregon's
most famous orators, D. Solis Cohen
was to be with us, were far from being
disappointed. His every thought, word
and gesture were eloquence, and tbe
more appreciated because of tbeir
originality. As he spoke of the teach
ings of the order and impressed upon
his brother Elks that tbe best lessons to
be gathered from such services are those
which teach tbem their duty to their
fellow man, bis very emphasis and ex
pression, showed that he is a true orator,
who feels what his words convey. The
sentiments brought ont at closing when
speaking of the truths contained in tbe
flower of the order, tbe forget-me-not,
wero beautiful. Indeed the entire ad
dress was a gem of oratory, and i
grand expression of tbe thoughts con
cerning the departed which were throng'
ing bis memory.
Such meetings cannot fail to leave
their impress on the lives of those who
take part in them and those who are
listeners.
.Birthday Party.
Saturday being the 13th' birthday of
Ella McCoy, a number of her friends
spent a very pleasant afternoon with her.
Upon their arrival they found tbe
parlors fairly enveloped in a spider web,
woven by human hands. The work .of
un winding immediately began and Daisy
Deane reaching the goal first, captured
the prize. Afterward tbe game of cin
derella's slipper engaged tbeir attention,
at which Bessie Eddon proved herself an
adept. Helen Lytle was equally unfortu
nate at both games, and carried away
the booby prizes. The birthday, iunch
was one which received no less attention
than did tbe games, and tbe, young
misses did justice to it.
Those who were fortunate in receiying
invitations were: Constance French,
Helen Lytle, Alberta Shepherd, Wini
fred Wilson, Florence Williams, Hazel
Huntington. Lena Moore, Nina Guthrie,
Lela and Lota Kelsay, Clara Dunham,
Lulu Nicholas. Luella Nelson, Delia
Young, Daisy and Dora Deahe, Bessie
Eddon, Diucilla Moody and Bertha
Steers.
One dozen of those extra finish Platino
FotoB, made by Gifford, will make you
twelve fine presents, for Christmas.
Nothing would be appreciated more, and
how is the time to sit for them..; Don't
put it off too long and then expect to
have them finished in time. 11m
WHAT OUR CITY DADS DID.
Nothing; of Great Importance at Sati
day' Meeting;.
At roll call Saturday evening at the
council meeting the following city dads,
answered "present:" Kuck, Keller,
Clough, Gunning, Stephens, Barnett
ana uutta.
After the reading of the minutes of the
last meeting, a slight correction was.
made, when they were approved.
. Kuck, of the finance committee, re
ported, in the matter of the claims of
the city against tbe county for taxes,
which matter was referred to tbe finance
committee at the last meeting, that tbey
have not yet employed an expert to in
vestigate; therefore ask for further timew
C. F. Stephens, of the committee ont
streets and public property, reported
that the committee had appraised the
city's lot on Third street, adjoining Bro
gan"s property, at $1200, and recom
mended the same to the council, which
approved the recommendation.
The matter of the removal of all build
ings situated on public streets without
permission of the council, was referred
to tbe committee on streets and public
property.
Dr. O. D. Doane and Geo. A. Liebek
mpmharn nf t hp onh nnl Kno rt onnna,.ul
before the council and stated that they
had been served with notice by the mar,
sbal, notifying tbem to remove the nuis
ance caused by the water closets at the
school building on Court street. Tbey
acknowledged that at the time com
plaint was made they were in a bad con
dition, but that it was the first time
there had been cause for such complaint,
and that eaid cause would be removed.
However, as tbe district has already
spent much during the past year, and if
the notice were complied with it would
make an additional expense of about
$700 or $800, they asked that it be not
required to put in patent closets, which,
would also cause much trouble by freez
ing. Their request was complied with.
Regarding the electric light question,
the mayor and recorder presented the
matter by reading the contract submit
ted by tbe company to them and refused,
and the one presented by them to the
company, which has not been acted np
on as yet. It seems there are some dif-
terences in regard to tne situation or the
lights. No action was taken by the
council.
W. A. Johnston having changed his
place of residence from the First ward, a
new councilman was elected. Council
man Keller placed in nominatiou'Cbas.
Michelbach, who was elected by acclam
ation. It w as ordered that sidewalks be con
structed on Laughlin street, between
Sopnnrl imrl Third.
The claim of Douglas Dufur for $56.50,

ings, was referred to the finance com
mittee. ' -
