The sewer on Court street is causing a
sensation today. Becoming stopped In
some manner, it began to back np into
the cellar and basement along its line,
and quite a little damage was done to
goods in J. P. Mcln'erny'a basement,
while at last accounts Prim St Nitscbke
feared they would be compelled to move
out the goods atoied in the lower story
of their building. Workmen are en
gaged iu digging up the sewer in the at

The American girl depicted on Hood'
Sareaparilla calendar, ia certainly a good
advertisement for that famous medicine.
She looks as if she'd taken something
for that "tired feeling" which had been
very effective and makes her appearance
as fresh and sweet a a daisy with the
June dew upon it. The American girl
look well wherever yon put her, and is
always up-to-date. The calendar Is a
very pretty one and artistic in every de
tail. Ask you druggist for one, or send

A remarkable coincidence, which may
be of interest to believers in telepathy
and other kindred occult services, is to
be noted in connection with the recent
destruction of the Fulton cottage at Sea
side. On that night the members of the
Fulton family were alarmed by a strange
sense of smoke prevading their
entire residence in the city.
The odor was so marked and distinct
that the ladies of the family became
alarmed and Insisted upon a thorough
examination by Mr. Fulton of the entire
premises, which, of coarse, failed to dis
close any fire. Strange as It may seem,
this was a veritable occurrence, and be
lievers in the mysterious can make as
much or little of it a they please. As
torian. '
Pague's snow did not arrive until late
today. Tomorrow he promises us fair
weather; continued colder. We are hav
ing winter on the installment plan, and
the river is again blocked at Crate's
point. From present indication and
the amount of floating ice In the river,
we will soon be able to cross on the ice
here. Report ay that the thermometer
range between 8 and 16 along the
Snake. There are two inches of ice in
the locks, and the Dalles City did not
attempt to make the trip from Portland
today. Hungry Harbor is the favorite
winter resort, and there Is quite a fleet
in that quarter at present, the ferry boat
joining the other craft this morning.
Great interest was manlfeated last
night in the fate of the big candle,
which had been burning in Jacobsen's
window since the night of the 24th of
December, and which had about run its
course. At 8:10 o'clock it collapsed,
having burned 239 hours and ten min
ute. This morning the list of guesses
was looked over and the following re
ceived presents: Ned Baldwin, having
estimated the lengh of time at 239 hours
and fourteen minutes, was awarded first

Keep these prices in your minds,
monopolized by one woman." Another
one says: "Why how delicioua to kiss
such a hero." And still another: "The
men are jealous, that's what' the mat
ter. Just because they can't get the
same." So we may expect a visit from
Hobson soon ; but perhaps it would be
well to inform the Webfoot girl that
there' nothing selfish about Eastern
Oregon girls, and they can monopolize
tbe general kisser. Besides its not
kisstomary in Eastern Oregon to send
abroad for heros ; each girl has one of
her own in this part of the state. We
sympathize with Hobson, for we believe
It takes more courage to face some of the
mouth he ha encountered in tbe past
few months, than it did to face all the
cannon' mouth he ran across in bat
tle. However, pity is not akin to love
in this case, and the Portland girls can
(end for him if they wish. Dalles girl
ay they take no stock in such a pro
miscuoua osculator, and would rather
"carry arms" than he compelled to fall
in line in the kissing march.

In a letter received by Marshal Lauer
from Supt. Gardner, of the Boys' and

up tomorrow to take them down. Mr.

Tbe midwinter course of popular lec
tures on practical subject of the Oregon

It behove everyone to use every pre
caution to prevent au attack of the
grippe, which is now making it appear
ance not only in the cities, but in every
hamlet, village and town. Not in any
light manner does it grip the victim, but
its effects are fatal. In Tacoma two
deaths from this disease are reported
since the first of the year, and the city
physicians predict an extensive rage of
the disease. So far we have heard of no
case in this city, but an ounce of pre
vention is worth a pound of cure.

It really seems like cowardice to be
continually attacking the poor bovine

never uttered. We had supposed all was

to mention general ordinance No. 298,
regarding licensing electrical slot ma
