Easter sale by the Guild takes place
directly thereafter at the K. of P. hall,
which the Foresters have kindly given
up for that occasion.
Mr. acd Mrs. Chas. Hansen, of this
city, have adopted the five-weeks-old
baby girl, whose mother, Mrs. E, Waud,
died a short time after its birth. The
little child has fallen into the best of
bands, and no doubt will be tenderly
cared for by those whose kindness of
heart prom pted them to make it their
own.
The lack of rains in California has
made meat so scarce and high-priced that
beef is now selling at 8 cents at wholesale,
ai is also pork selling at a higher price,
Much of the supply for Southern Cali

The Salvation Army officers and
soldiers are now holding their annual
week of self denial and prayer. Every
body is invited to take part, by denying
themselves some luxury or ntcessary
article, and giving the proceeds to the
benefit of the social operations of the
S. A. work in America and also to help
the army operations in some of the
heathen countries. There will be special
meetings this week on Wednesday,
Thursday and Saturday. Holiness meet
ing Friday night. Everyone welcome.
A detachment of the U. S. Geological
Survey, in charge of Mr. Carlotk, has
been making its headquarters in The
Dalles for the past week or more and
is now wo'kiuft several miles above
the city. They are running a series of
levels to be a base for field operations
in taking up topography this season.
They have established bench mark in
the southeast corner of the court house
yard, the top of which it 103 feet above
the sea level. On the top of this mark,
hicb looks as if it might be a large
pipe, is the inbeription "U. 8. Geologic

Astoria. B. M. Two hundred and
fifty dollars fine for disturbing this
monument."

waa burned to the groond with all its
contents. At the time of the fire Mr.
Scbola was plowing, and hi wife and
baby were in the houee. The roof evi
dently caught fire from a spark from
the floe, and when Mr, fccholz discov
ered it, it was all ablaze. She at first
attempted to extinguish the Amies, but
upon entering the room where the baby
was sleeping found tbe roof was on fire
and cinders were falling around the
child. She at once grabbed the baby
and escaped just in time, being unable
to save a particle of the furniture. The
family are now stopping at the farra ,f
Mr. Speicinger, who . with another
neighbor, Mr. Kneat-el, are soliciting
throughout our city to obtain funds to
enable them to rebuild their horue.
They were very successful, as our citi
zens responded liberally.
Thursday's Daily.
License to wed was today granted to
Wm. O. Johnson and Constance Harri
man. Also to R. E. Clanton, and Laura
E. Cooley. Mr. Clanton is a resident
of Centerville and Miss Cooley a well
known Dalles young lady.
We are glad to learn that Mrs. James
, Blakeney is again aMeto be around, as
it was much feared that the result of a
fall which she received while working
about tbe bouse the latter part of last
week would prove serious. Having
struck the back of her head on a tub
whicti was standing near as she fell.
brain fever was feared for her, and she
was confined to her bed for several days
The zero mark of the river gauge at
Tbe Dalles as determined by the U. S.
Geological Survey, is 45.3 feet above sea
level. Aa stated yesterday in The
Chhonicle, they have determined the
altitude of the city to be 103 feet, in
stead of 116, as was given us by the rail
way survey stveral years ago. The
highest point between this city and
Portland is Clarnie, and the second
highest is at a point five miles below
the city.
Engineer Hunter, who came into tbe
city this morning, brought the news of
tbe death of C. S. Wike, who is better
known as "Jack" among Dalles people.
No particulars were given regarding his
death, other than that he fell between
cars while braking on the Canadian
Pacific near Alberta, in the Northwest
Territory several days since, and was lit
erally cut in two. Ilia remains were
shipped to his relatives in Illinois. Mr.
Wike was for years employed by the
O. R. & N. here, and was one of the
most popular and best known railroad
men on the road.
The tables turned last night at the
club bowling alleys, and tbe ladies were
not in it, not even for a minute, being
beaten by the gentleman in all four
games rolled, although in the first game
by but one point. The total score of
the men was 918 and the ladies 872,
making a victory of 46 points. Mrs.
Seofert and Miss Sehanno held the
highest total icore fcr the ladies, with
130, while Mis. Nolan was highest in
single score, 39. Mr. Nolan was high
man all around 184 total, and 48
single score. A return contest will take
place on Wednesday of week after next,
when the ladies will no doubt regain
their formergood luck.
The managers of the Willamette Valley
Chautauqua Association have finally
succeeded in securing the renowned
lecturer, 8am Jones, to appear at the as
sembly at Gladstone Park this season.
The difficulties of making the arrange
ments for this engagement have finally
been cleared away, and recent inform
ation from headquarters announces that
everything ia satisfactory. This has
been a matter of deep concern to the
assemblies on the coast, and the news of
its final settlement will be highly
gratifying to the public as well. 8am
Jones' wit and wisdom are familiar to
students of literature, but to have the
opportunity to hearing and seeing him
tu person would be a rare intellectual
treat to his many admirers.
Lovers lane tfor such the walk on
Fifth street, leading to the bluff is
termed) is not an exception to the gen
eral rule which is applicable to many
walks in our city, and therefore Is sadly
In need of repairs. About half way up
the walk, a section of the railing is miss
ing, probably torn asunder by some des
perate maiden who was intent upon
giving her lover a railing, and never re
placed. As love is said to be blind it is
a very dangerous state of affairs to have
a narrow walk like the one in question,
ungarded by a railing, particularly as a
misstep would probably cause a serious
accident. Some years ago In this city
such a small matter as the absence of a
barrier of this sort caused the death of a
visitor to our city a Mr. Skottowe, and
a serious injury to his wife. These mat
ters which appear to he trifling, are.
often productive of much harm and
should be attended to.
Friday's Dnlly.
Happy he who possesses a good supply
of spuds these days, as the price Is faet
advancing, having now reached the
dollar mark for a sack.
The Good Intent Society will have
their regular sale of all kinds of pastry
at J. H. Cioss' store all day tomorrow.
You can save yourself the trouble of
cooking by calling open them.
J. T. Neff, principal of the Frankton
school, ami R. K. Allard, of the Hood
Rivet ichool, will be among those who
will attend the educational meeting at
Dufur a week from tomorrow. It Is the
intention of the county superintendent
and the teachers ot the schools here to
leave this city early that morning and
spend the day attending the institute,
returning io the evening.
Mr. Kinerely has received word from
the manager of the Metropolian Opera
Co. informing him that on account of
the advance agent booking them for the
sound at an earlier date than was ex
pected, it will be impossible fur them to
visit this city before their engagement
there. However, thev will plav in
Portland in about two mouths, when he
will endeavor to secure them for one
night at The DaKes.
John Aubin, alias "Siiui," w ho figured
so prominently as a witness in the
Forester trial, is again before the public.
This lime he was arrested for obtaining
money under false pretense. It seem
that his fee as a witness in the afore
said case was $30.00, to be paid in
county scrip. While here on Februarv
14ih he gave Cornett, who is a stage
driver, an order on the county for $10
worth of the ecrip. On February 21st
he also sold to Andrew Baldwin an
order for $31 50. As soon as the tacts
were determined Constable Jackson was
sont in pursuit of Aubin, who was found
at upper Trout creek, in Crook county
He brought him to this city this morn
ing, where he was arraigned and put
under $200 bonds to appear before
Justice Bayard tomorrow morning at
10 o'clock.
Excitement ran high at the club
bowling alleys last night, and feeling
waxed warm as the first team which
yielded the honors to the ladies played
a challenge game with those who gave
up the palm in the second game with
them. Having come out of the contests
with exactly the same scores a challenge
followed, and last night Messrs. Brad
sliaw, Schmidt, Mays, Kurtz, Van
Norden and Hostetler played against
Houghton, Baldwin, Sampson, Nolan,
Delloff and Phillips, the latter proving
by a majority of twenty-five points that
the ladies had the more formidable
rivals in them. The games were even,
the first team winning the two first, and
the second the two last and twenty
five points more, entitling them to the
oysters as well as the honors. Not
willing to yield to defeat so easily,
another contest will take place tonight.
Tbe accident of yesterday is only
another reminder to Dalles people, of
the fate which is awaiting some of the
foolish boys (and boys of an oldtjr
growth) who persist, in the face of
lesson after lesson, in boarding tbe train
when it is passing through our city, and
after riding a tew blocks, jumping off
while the train is in motion. It is a
source of great annoyance to railroad
men and will some day be a sad annoy
ance to tlisir parenta and friends.
JuBt before the accident yesterday, as
the engine came down, two boys jumped
on and rode a short way, much to the
annoyance of the engineer. There is an
ordinance In our city prohibiting this
habit, and it. is high time it was en
forced. As far as the younger boys are
concerned, their parents should take
the alternative in the matter, thus
preventing the possibility of having
them brought home lifeless or maimed
for life.
Realizing the great benefit which
would come to them by being in im
mediate communication with the outside
world, Endersby people have for some
time been insisting on having a tele
phone service established in that neigh
borhood. Yesterday Mr. Vorse, manager
of the Oregon Telephone Co., made a
trip to Dufur and Endersby for the
purpose of consulting with the people
regarding the matter. The result was
that it is more than likely a branch
line will be put in from Dufur connect
ing with the Endersby postofllce; and
if the plans are carried into effect, later
a party line of about ten 'phones will be
connected with various farms in that
district. This will be of untold benefit
and satisfaction to tbe people there.
This company has recently placed twelve
new 'phones irrat Dufur, and w ill oon
have every portion of the country near
and far included in their district.

A DREADFUL ACCIDENT.
Mike W(Mr la fearfully Ma(Ud
V htle Attempting I
Hteal Ulde.
In spite of the numberless lessons
I given to the tramp fraternity as to the
I fearful result of attempting to steal
j rides, another one was this morning
addrd to the long list of victims to that
foolish habit.
About a quarter to 12 o'clock this
morn'ng a man, who gave his name as
Mike Wagner, with hia partner, de
termined to get to Portland by riding
on the brake beams. Just as a freight
train was passing the crossing at the
foot of Court street, the latter succeeded
in getting himself into position for tbe
ride; but rot so with Wagner. The
train was going at a good rate of speed,
aud, stepping on, a rock, he slipped and
fell under the wheels. Several who saw
the accident hastened to hia assistance
and found his right leg fearfully mashed
and broken just above the ankle. His
left leg was in about tbe same condition,
while both legs were badly bruised
above the thighs.
Wm. Van Bibber arrived with his
wagon a few minuteti later and took the
poor fellow to the city jail, and Dra.
Hollisterand Logan were then sum
moned. His moans we're heart-rending
and he besought Mr. Van Bibber to kill
him or give him something to cause his
death, claiming that be has no relations
and nothing to live for. Many who
stood by felt it would be a deed ot mercy
to end his sufferings at once. The sur
geon made him aa comfortable as pos
sible aud finding it necessary to ampu
tate both legs below the knee, placed
him on the operating table this after
noon and, assisted by Mrs. Ida Craw
ford, a trained nurse, amputated the
right leg just below the knee. The
patient was so weak that it was found
impossible to attempt to amputate the
other member, the man being nearly
dead when taken from the table. It is
thought he cannot survive tbe shock.
Wagner is a Swede about 35 years of
age, and has not the appearance of a
common tramp. He claims that this Is
his first attempt at stealing a ride. That
he has been working up in tbe country,
and reaching town without any means,
thought he would get n free ride to
Portland, and attempted it with the
dreadful result, which Is even worsethan
Instant death.
Mr. Miller, of Des Chutes, who is in
the city, identified him aa being a man
who worked for him last fall and says
he is a splendid workman and a trust
worthy fellow.
THE GENTLEMEN ENTERTAIN.
Their Quartet Highly Appreciated
Alao the Cake.
The success of the gentlemen as hosts
was proven last night when the Ladies'
Aid Society and a host of their friends,
at the invitation of Messrs. W. II. Wil
son and A. M. Kelsay, gathered at. the
home of the former and were so admir
ably received and entertained by them.
At the door they were greeted by Mr.
Wilson, whose duties in the dining
later required that bis evening suit be
guarded by a neat white apron. Mr.
Kelsay, dressed in the same manner,
assisted tbe ladies to remove their wraps
and gracefully arranged the bon boo
caps on their beads.
When the parlors were crowded with
guests tbe program began, and con
sisted of aolos by Wm. Frank and Rev.
Poling, a quartet by Messrs. Landers,
Doane, Gifford and Jayne; an Irish read
ing by J. F. Hampshire, and a classical
quartet by Messrs. Wilson, Glenn, Hob
son and Kelsay. As this is tbe first
appearance of these gentlemen as musi
cians, all were anxiously awaiting their
entree. Their extreme modesty sug
gested to them the idea of appearing in
a manner which would hide their
blushes. They therefore appeared in a
sheet and pillow case costume, with
masks hiding the facial expressions,
which otherwise must have been touch
ing in the extreme. As the perfect
melody filled the room, surprise was
depicted on every countenance and all
deplored the fate which had for lo these
many years kept them in ignorance ol
the wonderful talent in our city. It
was, however, suggested that the singera
must be drawing their Inspiration from
the two large American flags which
formed a background for the quartet
and covered a window in the room,
through which it seemed was wafted
strains fro n the "choir Invisible." A
suspicion at once ran through the as
sembly, deepened by the fact that
neither ol the singera turned the leaves
of his music, but sang the entire selec
tion, as well as an Impressive encore
entitled "ltig-a-Gig, Gig" from one page
of music. Far be it from us, however,
to afvtiae the reputable gentlemen of
duplicity, ami we await their re
appearance at some future date.
'Tis to bo regretted that the suggestion
of the choir invisible caused a feeling of
distrust to remain when refreshments
made their appearance and also sug
gested the idea of a "conk invisible."
But again we refrain from passing an
opinion and say that be the cook who
the may, her cakes take the cake.
On exhibition in the dining room
were two fine looking cakes, frosted
with care (but not by the guests) and
labeled with their bakers' murks, Kelsay
and Wilson. Kach one present was
furnished with a sample and a eagerly
grasped a pepsin tablet which lay near
by. All were loud in their praises of
the flavor and lightness of these cakes,
and, as no fatalities are reported today,
we must join in saying that although
they must have teeu Uaten, they are
hard to beat.
These gentlemen were successful in
turning over to the Aid Society a neat
uiu of money a a result of their efforts.
THINK OVER THE MATTER.
Woultt It Not Ha AtfJvUabla to Cloae
the dtoree Karljr Hurlug the
Heated Term.
The people of Salem are now strongly
advocating a question which, it seema to
us, it would be well for the people of
The Dalles to Leg in to take into con
sideration before the heat of the summer
is upon us. We refer to the question
of early eloBin of our business houses
during the heated summer months.
While we would not advocate the ad
visability of such a c mrse until perhaps
during the months of July aud August,
we would sutcgest that the matter he
agitated prior to that time and the good
judgment of the patrons as well as that
of our merchants, be used in consider
ing the matter.
Previous to those months it will prob
ably be necessary to keep the stores
open until a late hour to accommodate
the country trade; but after that time
would it not be an unselfish deed for the
ladies of our city to unite in the deter
mination to, for two months at 4east,
agree to do their shopping during the
day, although it may seem a trifle hard
at times, for the greater benefit t! at will
come to those who are compelled to be
shut np during the entire day, io
close alrcosphere which ia at times al
most unbearable. Most of the ladies of
our city consider it a necessity to super
intend the marketing. Then why not
at the same time attend to the shopping.
which ia a minor matter during the
months when the heat prevents much
dieesmaking being accomplished.
Much may be aaid pro and con con
cerning the question ; but Jto many who
have unselfishly looked into the matter,
it seems that it would be a commendable
movement for the ladies of The Dalles
to inaugurate, aa they are in a great
measure responsible for the large
amount of trading which is done in the
evening, deeming it impossible to get
out during the heat of the day. But
(when looked upon in an unselfish way)
what of tbe numberless merchants,
bookkeepers and clerks, who after stand
ing all day behind tbe counters are
compelled to spend two or tiiree hours
in the evening at the same post of duty,
while their more fortunate neighbors
are driving by enjoying the bracing
evening air, because many simply re
fuse to put themselves out in the slight
est manner by doing their trading dur
ing the other nine hours afforded them.
Were they privileged to have these
hours in the open air, they would arise
in the morning invigorated and ready
towithstand the depressing days; but
having no time for recreation, they are
unfitted for the duties required of them
and before the summer is over are com
pletely worn out.
Our object in bringing up this matter
at so previous a date is that it maybe
thoroughly canvassed, and the result
he satisfactorily to all concerned.
DEATH RELEASES HIM.
Nike Warner, Who Was Injured Yea
terdajr, Dlea Last 1C renin-:.
At about 5:30 o'clock last evening,
when the nurse was watching over him,
death came to the release of Mike
Wagner, who was run over by the train
yesterday noon, and he gradually sunk
away, seemingly unconscious of his
sufferings. After the right leg had been
amputated, during which time he was
under the influence of anesthetics, he
seemed to be in a stupor and remained
in that condition until the end came.
At 7 o'clock his body was taken to the
undertaking parlors of Wm. Michell,
and this morning an inquest was held
over the body, resulting in the following
verdict.
We, the jury summoned by W. H.
Butts, coroner of Wasco county, Oregon,
to inquire into the cause of the death of
the body now before us, after viewing
the body, and after hearing the testi
mony of the witnesses produced before
us, and after due and careful consider
ation and deliberation frnd the follow
ing facts :
That the name of the deceased was
Mike Wagner, a German, whose age
was about 35 years ; that he was about
six feet tall, whose weight was about
2'.'0 pounds, and that he was light com
plexioned ; that he was a laborer, ami
had no fixed place of residence; that he
came to liis death on the 23d day of
march, In Dalles uily, which death
was caused by woumlsrecei ved by being
run over across the legs by a moving
freight train, while attempting to board
said train.

Nothing further than waa reported

He claims to have no relations, and w ill

afternoon at 4 o'clock.
Who'll He the MrxtT
Cupid has certainly taken np hia
residence and gone Into the wholesale
business in The Dalles, Judging from
the number ot weddings which are at

month is a veritable wedding March.

them the good will and best wishee ot

The Markets.
Reports say that there ia not much
encouragement in the wool market, and
in spite of the fact that another clip ia
close at hand growers are not inclined to
accept prices which might be obtained
and.quotations continue largely nominal.
Tbe market for mohair received a ter
rible jolt right in the opening of the
season, with a decline of fro-u 53o per
pound in the Turkish mohair, and local
dealers have reduced their quotations
to about 20c per pound, although on a
speculation pending the adjustment of
the market a cent or two more might be
squeezed out.
A dispatch from Chicago regarding
wheat, says :
"The fear of crop damage in Europe
and indicationa of a late spring caused
a better feeling in the wheat market
from the commencement. May opened
a shade higher, at 67 7 8 to 68, and aa
domestio bad crop claims were a nu
merous as ever, the price gradually rose
to 68 5 8. Bradstreet's report of the
world's visible made an increase of
678,000 bushels, compared with 2,597,
000 bushels decrease a year ago. The
market weakened on that information
and May wheat, which previous to the
announcement bad been bringing 63 3 8
to 68, dropped at once to 68 18 to
03 '4. It was steadied again, however,
in a few minutes by reports tf New
York of 45 boatloads being taken for
export.
The local market is as follows :
Hay and grain Wheat hay, $12.
