On apace, and we discover odd lots of goods that require the pruning knife. We are not
loath to give them their just desert, for these things must perish; if not by the aid of the

; This morning Monroe Grimes received
word of the serious illness ot his mother
in Portland, who is suffering from pneu
monia. The latest death of an Oregonian at
Manila is that of Wistar Hawthorne, of
Eugene, son of Professor Hawthorne.
He was twenty years of age and died of
paralysis of the heart.
A letter received from one of the boys
at Manila says that a monument Las
been erected over Will Field's grave,
and' that the Oregon boys are keeping
the graye in good condition, havinn
planted crass thereon and made it look
lee lone.
Elan Frost, a pionner of '60, who died
at Canby Sunday morning, was the
father of Mrs. Turner, of Hood River,
and Mrs. Jus. Nolan, of Dufur. His re
frain were brought to this city Inst
night and taken to Dufur this morning
for burial. Mr. Frost, who was in his
60th; year, was a resident of Eastern
Oregon for five years, his wife being
buried here three years ago.
This morning at 7 o'clock the tainily
of M. T. Nolan heard footsteps in the
ball at their homo on Second street, and
npoo coming out, Will Mosbns saw a
man going down the back stairs. He
immediately started after him and found
that he had in his possession an over
coat and dress coat, which he had taken
from one of the adjoining rooms. He
took them away from him and afterward
bad Marshal I.auer arrest him. Later
be appeared before Recorder Gate, and
was bound over In the sum of $200 to

of the Irish fair to be present at a recep
tion to be given to the newspaper fra
ternity at the exposition building Friday
evening. The Irish fair which begins
Saturday and ends on February 4th, is
the topic for conversation now in Port
land and will be one of the grandest af
fairs given, In that city for some time.
It is to be conducted by the Sisters of
Mercy, and the proceeds will go toward
a worthy institution a home for the
aged. Many Dalles people have signified
their intention to attend.
Through the kindness of Senator
Dufur and Representative Roberts we
received copy of bouse bill No. 108, in
troduced by Willamson and termed the
scalp bounty bill. As it is virtually the
same as when published some weeks
ago, we deemed it unnecessary to again
print it. We are also in receipt of
Senate bill No. 3, regarding educational
matters in the state. No doubt its
contents would be interesting to many
of our readers, but containing thirty-
six pages of type-written matter, we
would be compelled to devote the whole
paper to that bill alone were we to at
tempt Its publication. Any one who
may be desirous of perusing it will be
given the privilege by calling at this
office.
Quite large number of friends gath
ered at the Catholic church this morn
ing to offer the last tribute of respect to
an honored pioneer, and listen to the
services over the remains of John
Brook hou?e- Father Bronsgeest spoke
in the highest terms of the life of one
whom we all know well, and of his de
votion to his religion. The floral offer
ings were many and very beautiful,
among them being a flower crescent,
bearing the name "Father." The pall
bearers who were all old friends of the
deceased, were: J. Dougherty. II.
Frszier, G. A. Liobe, It. F. Gibbons,

I. II. Talfe, the Celilo ennneryman,
has Hied suit in the state circuit court
against the O. R. & N. Co. to recover
$1500 damages on account of a delayed
shipment of fresh salmon. He alleges
that he shipped 10,000 pounds of fish at
Celilo September 17, 1808, ,to Chesobro
Itros., Fulton market, New York city, in
refrigerator cars. The salmon, he s.iys,
was due to arrive September 23d, and he
avers that the contract was that it be
sent through at once. On September
23d, Taffe states, the shipment was
worth $1500 in New York, but on Sep
tember 27th, when it got there, he al
leges salmon had taken a drop, and was

The condition of Mr. II. II. Learned,
who has been very ill tor the past two
weeks, was somewhat improved yestei
day. Reports just received from Govern
ment camp, near Mt. Hood, give the
depth of snow there January 1st, as
sixty-six inches. This is less than half
the usual depth at this time of year.
Workmen at Mays Crowe's new
building are now engaged In putting in
the shelving and doing other work on
the interior of the store. All are anx
ious to see this building completed, as it
will be great credit to the city, as well
as an ornament.
Portland and Salem papers spoke
very highly of the play "Boy Wanted"
when it was put on the boards there.
Dalles people need not be afraid of the
program being cut short Saturday night
as the troupe will remain in the city
over Sunday.
Hermann Johnson received word yee
terday of the death of his brother, Peter
Johnson, in Idaho. If possible his body
will be brought to this city for inter,
ment, as he has some children buried
hore. Mr. Johnson lived In The Dalles
for a number of years, being employed
at the shops here.
By tomorrow the river will certa'nly
be clear of ice. The Dalles City is ex
perted to arrive here at about 1 o'clock.
She will bring the Regulator and other
craft down from winter quarters, and
make her regular trip Saturday. It will
seem more like old times when the boats
are running and it is to be hoped they
w'll nut be again compelled to tie np.
The boys have decided to give their
minstrel show on the night of the 30th i
or 31st, which will be good news to
Dalles people. They have about deter
mined to repeHt their entertainment at
Heppner, as the Elks there have offered
to give them a guarantee w hich will be
an inducement. If the coming show is
up to the standard of former ones

The druggists in The Dalles are be

claimed that whether furnished over a
telephone or ovtr counter makes small
difference, in the long run, and drug'
gists feel they must protect their trade,
Gentlemen, as well as ladies, are be
ginning the fooliBD use of such cos
metics. II. H. Riddell returned last night from
Salem, where he spent most of his time
at the capitol championing the bill to
regulate the tax law and watching the
proceedings of our legislators. While
there are many bills being introduced
amounting to simply nothing, and which
will no donbt die a bornin', Mr. Riddell
says there is a great deal of good hard
work being done, and many important
bills will be passed. He says prospects
for the tax bill, which was introduced bv
Roberts, look encouraging, and at
present it looks as if it will be rubbed
through.
Just at this time the streets af our city
are in a terrible condition, the soft,
slushy snow making navigating a diffi
cult matter. The crosswalks, many of
them, are almost impassible, and when
one bravely steps on snow, which looks
substantial enough, he sinks deeper and
deeper, and finally wonders where he is
"at." His case will be a hopeless one
unless work is soon begun on these
walks. They should be shoveled off so
that pedestrians could determine wheth
er they are stepping on air, water or
hoards. Now is also a splendid time for
propertyowners to have their sidewalks
cleared of all snow. It Is not likely that
we will have another heavy storm soon,
and tlio walks should be cleared at once.
Yesterday afternoon the members of
the Good Intent society met at the home
of Mrs. Win. Michell, the principal busi
ness of the meeting being election of of
ficers for the corning year. Mrs. D. M.
French was chosen president ; Mrs. Par
kins, vice president; Mrs. W. A. Kirby,
secretary, nd Mrs. Jennie Haight,
treasurer. The ladies have accomplished
much in advancing the financial interests
of the church diiring the past year, and
deserve much credit. Last Sunday their
pastor complimented them very highly
from the pulpit. After the business was
dispatched yesterday, the hostess served
refreshments, and a social hour was
greatly enjoyed.
R. C. Judson, the Industrial agent of
the O. R. & N., has returned from his

number of important industries that
will eventually make Oregon their home

of the O. R. AN. Just what these are
Mr. Judson feels would be premature to
announce at this time. "There will be a
large wave of immigration from the
East this year for Oregon," said Mr.
Judson. "There cannot help being.
This is the proper Mecca for all who
wnt to better themselves, and who can
bring some capital with them. How
could it help being; such? We have here
every condition that may be desired
climate, weather and soil."
Last night's Oregonian contains some
clippings which were printed in that
paper thirty-seven years ago yesterday.
Among them was as article on the
Portland Academy. The reporter called
at that institution and found Professor
Hall at the head of the school, with Miss
Pentlasd (now Mrs. Brooks, of this city)
as assistant principal. Mies Pentland
had graduated the spring before and ac
cepted a position at once. Among the
pupils in one of the rooms was Master
Dufur, who was commended very high
ly for his proficiency in reciting. He is
still reciting, and his voice is now heard
in the balls of legislation. The man is
but the boy of an older growth. It is a
common occurrence for boys, especially,
to dodge the literary exercises of the
school room, but their influence and
profit is sure to tell in after years. No
doubt Enoch was often kept in, and per
chance chastised, for his reluctance to
speak his little piece; whereas it is
difficult matter to keep him from speak
ing it now.

place from the Catholic church thia
morning at 10 o'clock. Pease & Mays'

Mr. Harkness Is employed, was closed

Lsst Tuesday morning Ross Field, the
3-year-old eon of Mr. and Mrs. Adelbert
Field, formerly of The Dalles, died at
Yashon, King county, Waeh. He was
sick but about six hours, his death be
ing caused by spasms. He was step
brother of Wm. Field, who died at Ma

in anotLer column? Mr. Brooks has re

prices with the view to lajing in a new
stock and otherwise renovating. Great
bargains can now be obtained at that
popular dry goods and grocery store.
A. S. MacAllister has purchased the
boiler which was formerly used by the
Crystal Ice Company, and this morning
it was moved from its station in the
burnt district to the laundry on First
street. The boiler which has been used
at the laundry proved insufficient for the)
amount of work it was required to do.
Tuesday night some unknown person
or persons entered Marsh & Medler'a
drug store at Wasco, through back
window and broke open the till, but
obtained only 15 or 20 cents No goods
have been missed. It is thought some
one who knew the run of the store hoped
to find the safe open. But they "bad
o ui 10 cents.
Chancellor Thoburn, of the consoli
dated university in Portland, has been '
appointed pastor of the CentenaryMeth-
odist church, on the East side. Rev.
Thoburn visited this city a month or so
ago and spoke on the subject of "Mis
sions," in the Methodist church. He is
one of the best speakers that has ever
preached in The Dalles.
Americans who have failed to secure

property owners will be allowed to work
that property, but cannot acquire other
property ; and no ono outside of citizens
will be allowed to work the mines unless
a license has previously been obtained,
wuicu license is gooa lor out one year.
The Dalles City no doubt has seen
"peck o' trouble" today in reaching her
present position, which,aa we go to press,
Is between this city and Crate's Point,
where she was having a heavy tussle
with the ice jam. She was reported at
the locks at 8 o'clock, and if all had
been clear sailing she would have reached
here abont 11 ; but na large chunks of
Ice were floating down the river all day,
she must have bad a time holding ber
own. Doubtless she'll come out on top
and make her trip tomonow, leaving;
here at 7 o'clock.
For some months past two characters
have invested The Dalles, who are ' not
only a burden to themselves, but sn eye
sore to everyone who meets them. One
of them has been collecting "old rags.
old iron and old bones" or any old
thing which ae can turn into money
with which to purchase the "drug," and
how either of them exists is a mystery
to those who have watched them. Last
night Nightwatchman Phirman arrested
one of them, E. Russell by name, for
vagrancy. What to do with him is now
the question. Marshal Lauer has de
termined to compel him to move alonir
and leve the city, but at the same time
can not help wondering where the fellow
win move to. lie is really an object of
pity; but one whom no one carea to
take charge of.
A special meeting of the oitv council
has been called for this evening, to con
sider the new city charter, which will be
sent to the legislature, after being pre
sented to the council. The city tax will
also be levied. Under the present char
ter a regular levy of five mills may be
made and a special of a mill and a half.
It is required that the levy be made be
fore February 1st. Among other changes
the new charter will admit cf a three
mill special levy. It alsoauthorir.es the
council to put aside and loan $UG0 a
year as a sinking fund to meet the
bonded indebtedness of the city amount
ing to $."7,000 and changes the bound
aries of the corporation so that the west
line of the "Methodist mission" shall be
the western boundary of the city.
