Today County Clerk Kelsay era n ted a
license to O. L. Fields and A. J. Hunter
to wed.
Mt. Hood Camp and the Women of
Woodcraft will hold a joint installation
on Tuesday, January 17th, in Woodmen
hall. Woodmen's wives and Circles'
husbands are iuvited to be preeent.
It is expected Col. Patterson will ar
rive in the city this afternoon and be
' present at ir.e militia meeting tonight,
i when election of officers of Co. D. will
take place and a regular drill be had
, Dr. Sanders informs us that he will
take charge of Dr. Frazier's dental office
' on Monday next. We understand the
. latter will leave soon for Southern Ore
Kon; but is at present confined to bis
j home by sickness.
' . Rev. Wood requests that we announce
. to the public that he expects to be able
to conduct the regular church services to
morrow, and extends an invitation to
all, especially members of his congre ga
tion, to be preeent.
r And now it looks a little bit more like
a tba'T, and the rain so If.ng predicted
by the weather prophets is beginning to
, make its appearance. The report for to-
' morrow says "rain." Soon the small
boy will put up bis sled and go to wad
' ins, while the young man who was con-
templatin the cost of an hour's ride in
. "one-boree open sleigh," will be
, doomed to disappointment)
1 The work was very bad on our
carriers last week. The Trout Lake
man got on the wrong road and had to
stay out all night, the mail carrier from
Hood River got caught in the ice and
staid out tive hours while the ferryman
and 83ine boys from town pulled him
to shore. The Chenoweth man has
been having trouble also. Hood River
Glacier.
' Capt. Lewis has returned from Hood
Xtiver. Although the weather was such
that it was impossible for the people to
torn out to listen to the lectures, the
captain is not discouraged with his trip,
but reports a pleasant visit with friends,
part of the time being spentat the home
of Mr. and Mrs. C. G. Roberts. He
leaves Tuesday night for Wasco, where
. he will lecture on Wednesday evening.
Work has been suspended on the con
struction of the Columbia & Southern
. railroad for the season, after the track
has been laid from Wasco, the 1807
terminus, a distance of ten miles to
Moro. Over 200 men were employed on
the grade during the season of 1898, and
. the total length of line thus far con
structed is twenty-nine miles south of
Biggs, the junction with the O. R. A N
The cost of construction of this sec
tion is estimated at $60,000.
No doubt the accident which occurred
on Union hill last night will somewhat
dampen the ardor of coasters for a time
but it will probably not last long, for
personal experience is the only teacher
whode precepts are heeded. The pleas
ores wbicn require the most daring are
always the most attractive to us, and
tbe rarity and shortness of the coasting
season causes us to forget the rnisfor
tones of others.
Tbe treasurer has just tnade a warrant
call for something less than 3000,
Which is a rather unusual occurence for
this time of year, bringing the warrants
to less than four years to rnn, whereas
tbey have hitherto run from four to
four and a half years. Warrants now
readily sell at their face value at six per
cent, interest, but not long since
tbey sold at a discount drawing eight
per cent., thereby showing tbe good
financial condition of the county at
tbe present time.
The last official act of Secretary Kin
caid, it Is said, was the allowance in
favor of himself of a warrant carefully
and formally drawn on the state funds
for the sum of $00, representing a claim
for subscription to the Oregon State
Journal, of which Mr. Kincaid is owner
and managing editor, from October 1804
to December 1898, furnished the state
library. And so even the state of Ore
gon was among the list of delinquent
subscribers. Certainly the state might
have paid up in wood, pumpkins, or any
old tiling so it might not be numbered
among the tiansgressors.
A large number of yonng and old
gathered at the Congregational church
last evening, and soon four Urge
sleighs were filled with the merry
party, who after driving around the
city for some time, made their way to
the Roberts place on Dry Hollow. The
alelghing was good and the crowd lively,
which was sufficient to make tbe even
ing complete. Upon reaching their des
tination they found everything cory and
comfortable awaiting ' their arrival.
Two hours were spent In music, games
and a general good time, aupleinented
lund5' Daily.
A series of revival mention will hegia
J this evening in the basement of the
Methodist church, to which all are in
vited. Last night Night watchman Pbirman
arrested Peter M. Games for vagrancy.
Recorder Gates fined him 2 today, but
having not tbe wherewithal, he spent
the day in trie city jail.
Miaa Alice Lyle, of Pease & Mays' dry
goods department, and Miss Elizabeth
Schooling, of A. M. Williams & Co.'s
store, are again able to fill their posi
tions, having suffered from attacks of
grippe during last week.
Pearle Haslam is another boy who has
found out that coasting has its pains as
well as pleasures. Saturday evening
while going down Union hill he sprained
his ankle severely, and this morning bad
to he drawn to school on a hand sled.
And the rain descended, and the
slush cometh on apace, making walk
ing a delightful past-time, and tbe
thoughts of our residents turn from
sleighs to arks, and other craft. From
the looks of the Klickitata.'the festive
chinook has told them to "be blowed."
A. L. Gude, of the shoe department of
A. M. Williams' store, having spent the
past few weeks at his home In Los
Angeles, returned on last night's train.
Mr. Gude, in speaking of his trip from
San Francisco by steamer (and berth
principally,) confidentially advises his
friends to make tbe trip by rail this
time of the year. The scenery is better
he says.
Saturday I. II. Taffe, of Celilo, had a
painful accident, which to one of his
years, will no doubt prove a serious one.
When going down a flight of steps,
which were very icy, ho slipped and tell,
giving his back a severe wrench and in
juring his spine somewhat. Dr. flollis
ter was sent for and went up to Celilo
Saturday evening to attend him. Dr
says his injuries will cause him to be
laid np for a week or two.
Grippe seems to have chosen the
ministers of our city as its favorite vic
tims, Rev. Poling being rendered unable
to All his pulpit last night on account of
an attack of ttiis disease, while Kev.
Wood, who has been ill for two weeks
past, was present at but one service yes
terday, the League taking charge of the
evening meeting. W hile there seems
to be a number of cases of grippe in our
midst, vet fortunately it is not of the
dreaded .type which is prevalent in Ta
coma and Eastern cities.
An amusing incident occurred en Com
mercial street Friday afternoon. Mc-
Ewen thebipnotist, had placed a person
in a cataleptic state in the: window of
Peterson & Brown and a crowd bad
gathered near the store. One of the
men in the crowd freely remarked that
McEwen was a "fake," and that the
person in the window was not In
catapletic state, but that he also was
"faking." McEwen happened along,
and unknown to the man who was roast
ing him, listened to his abuse for a few
moments. Then walking up to the
man. he introduced himself, snapped
his fingers in the person's face and in
formed him that he bad lost bis voice
and could not speak. The man was
dumb as an oyster, but be ceased bis
roast when McEwen brought him back
to his normal condition. Doubtless be
will not toon again roast bypnotista as
"fakirs." Astorian.

Tbe property belonging to the F. Vogt
estate, opposite the Chronicle office,
now occupied by tbe Salvation Army,
was this afternoon sold at public auction
by M. A. Moody, assignee. It was
bought in by Wm. Weggenraan at $1200.
levers of dancing are beginning to
look forward to the grand ball to be
given by the Elks on tbe 10th of next
month. Most of them would rather miss
every other amusement during the year
than fail to attend the K'ks' party. It
takes tins order to do things up in a
swell manner.
Mrs. Agnew, of Portland, has rented
the house recently occupied by Kev. De-
Forest, on the corner of Fourth and
Union streets, and having fitted it np
nicely, will take a number of boarders
and lodgers, either by tho day, week or
month. Apply to her at her resi
dence. 14-3t
Last night was a jolly one for the
friends of Joe Knebel, who invited them
to spend the evening at his home on
Mill creek. A nnmber went out in con
veyances from this city and joined in the
evening's pleasure. Dancing was in
Julged in till a late hour, and one of
the best suppers ever served was then
partaken of. All report a fine tljie.
Last evening at 5:30 o'clock, In Ms
office. Justice Bayard united in marriage
Wallace Weaver and Edith Naylor.
The groom is a member of the firm of
Weaver A Neagle, who own tbe soda
manufactory in the East End ; while the
bride has many friends tere.beinga
yoUDg lady of excellent character.
Their friends in The Dalles extend their
congratulations.
At the last meeting of the city council
an ordinance was passed requiring a
semi-annual license of $60 to be paid on
all electiical slot machines. Yesterday
tbe first payment was made for tbe en
suing six mouths and $250 was collected.
At preeent there are tive machines in
the citv run by electricity, the remainder
not coming tinder the rulings of the
ordinance.
Tbe river blockade begins to look
shaky, and will soon get a move on its
self and move along. It is now clear up to
Crate's Point, and will soon allow tbe
boats to come op. The Dalles City will
improve her first opportunity. The re
port for tomorrow says "rain,".acd our
slushv streets bear evidence of the fact
that it bas rained. As Mill creek is raia
mg but little it looks as if the moisture
is ail seeping into the ground.
When the National Editorial Asso
ciation met in Denver last year, each
guest was given a souvenir of the city
in the form of a very nicely gotten up
pamphlet description of the city. In
fact, every place they visited on their
trip some such literature was given
them. Would it not be a splendid idea
for the executive committee to make
some arrangement whereby each editor
could receive a copy of the pictoral sup
pleraent of t'.ie Oregonlan'a special
edition, accompanied by more condensed
reading matter concerning tbe state?
It strikes us that it would be a splendid
advertisement, as every visitor would
have statistics to refer to in their write
ups of the trip.
We will defy any city in the state, or
out of it, to produce local talent equal to
that of The Dalles in the histrionic line.
Nowhere, outaide of professionals', can be
found better material for a good minstrel
show, or entertainment of that character
And this year we are to have another op
portunity of hearing tbe boys in one of
their famous shows. Every church
society, charitable institution and whut
not that has appealed to these young
men for assistance, Lave been given the'
benefit of their services, often at an ex
pense to themselves, not considering
the amount of practicing required. Now
that they are to give an entertainment
tinder their own auspices, there is no
doubt but that the Vogt will not be able
to contain tbe crowd. We are all
anxious to hear them.
At 5:50 Thursday evening, as A, Lyon,
proprietorof the jewelry store and pawn
broker's office in Portland, was seated
in the rear portion of his place of busi
ness, he heard a crash, and thought
some of tbe messenger boys in tbe tele
graph office next door had let something
fall. He arose and came out to the
front, when he found that his show
window had been smashed with a beer
bottle and seven or eight diamond rings,
valued at $1000, hurriedly abstracted.
The street was very quiet at the time,
and the deed so quickly accomplished
that not a soul in the neighborhood hud
the least inkling of It until it was all
over. The plate glass is one of two
which formed the front of the show
window. It is a quarter of an inch
thick, and in size four feet by 10, stand
ing perpendicularly in the sash. The
bottle had broken out a triangular piece
from the lower right-hand corner whose
sides would measure eighteei inches in
length, thus giving the crook plenty of
room to help himself.
Tha Oregonlao'a Annual Number.
Every year residents of Oregon look
forward to the special edition which
tbe Oregon ian is wont to publish,
deeming it the best advertisement of
Oregon's resources which can be sent to
friends in the East. Each edition shows
an improvement over the former one;
but never has anything been gotten np
In tbe state which gives such a thorough
idea of the resources of Oregon and tbe
beauty of its scenery, as does yesterday's
edition. The first twenty-four pages is
devoted to its resources, industries and
schools-in fact everything which relates
to the state and its welfare. That tho
pictoral supplement was gotten up by
au artist is self evident, some of the en
gravings being beautiful, most of them
showing forth the grandeur of our
scenery, while others cannot tail to Im
press tho beholder with the wonderful
facilities which Oregon has for manu
factories, etc.
If you have friends whom yon desire
to have make their home among us,
send them an Oregnnian, and they'll
surely not fail to come.'
Attack it as we may, complain of it as
we will, every Oregoman is proud of the
piper of the state, and none of in would
part with it. It is, and should be, the
pride of all, for it has few peers in the
United States, editorially and otherwise.
One of its chief attractions it the absence
of sensationalism, which for, us so prom
inent a part in most city journals.
When the OregonUn says so, its gener
ally so, and you ran depend on it.

o'clock to hear of the death ot John
Brock house, which occurred at 10 o'clock
at the Skibbe hotel. All have been
aware that the old gentleman had been
in failing health for many months, but
even the recent attack of grippe, with
which he has been suffering for the past
five days, did not seem a cause for alarm.'
However, in his weakened condition, it
proved too much for him to stand, al

A COLLISION.
grazing lands next summer.
The interior department has called
upon Capt. Ormsby tor a report in this
connection, and before rendering it he
wishes to ascertain tho views of the
sheep owners with regard to the pro
posed change. This matter is a very
important one, as the grazing question
has been a perplexing one ever since
the alpine hunters in the East and in
Portland have assumed jurisdiction of
t'le sheep and sheep mes also.
The government seems disposed to
treat all classes fairly and to this end
gives the wool growing interest an op
portunity to ba heard before any defin
ite plan is determined.
In view of the important interests at
stake, Mr. Wilson, in the absence of
George A. Young, president of the asso
ciation, who ia in the East, has called a
meeting of the members of tbe Wool
Association to meet in the Commercial
Club rooms, in The Dalles, January
24th. Captain Ormsby will come up
from Salem to be present, and it is ear
nestly aesirea py ttie executive com
mittee of tbe association that every
member will, if possible, attend,

been made. Mr. Bartell haa been
U-n titled with military interests in the
city for some time and is well up in mil
itary tactics. Other officers chosen were
R. A. Spivey, first lieutenant and Djvid
Johns, second lieutenant, both of whom,
judging from past deportment in thie
regard, will till their iKitition well.
During the eveuing Captain Bartell
drilled the new company, which bids fair
to be a credit to our citv.

however, that the war department has
decided to allow between 19,000 and 20,
000 of the regulars who enlisted "for tho
war" to go. This will leave about thirty
regiments of volunteers to be retired.

With the joys of coasting, each year
brings also its accidents, and there is
scarcely an exception to the rule that
some one must suffer from bones broken
while going down on the "bobs." Yes
terday the first accident of the year oc
curred.
Ivan Gibons, the 14-year-old son of
Ralph Gibons, was one of the occupants
of a large bolt sled which waa going
down Union cut at a rapid rate, when a

These queer people called Quakers or
the silent worshippers of the Almighty
God, have from century to century re
tained their religious reputation free
from all blemishes, by their daily
practice of honesty, integrity and aocial
purity. History teaches us that in
olden times these good people were ter
ribly persecuted for their religious be
lief. But through all the punishment
bestowed on them they proved to be
the happiest and most contented class of
people on God'e green foot-stool. Absti
nence, chastity, peace.Jood will and
brotherly love is the foundation stone of
their faith, their motto being peace i nd
good will toward nit men.
