Press C. Thompson, a well-known
stockman of Morrow county, died at the
Good Samaritan hospital Monday morn
ing, after a short illness. He was a
native of Missouri and was 72 years of
ae. The remains were taken to Heppner
for interment.
Dr. Ford Warn n nnd Dr. Gertrude
French arrived in Portland Monday
evening from N-w York. Dr. French
Is much Improved in health, and will
resume her practice t oi.oe. Mr. and
Mrs. Fiench will remain in the East for
timo visiting friends.
The battle-hip Iowa having been
ordered to pr, o-ed to Manila to relievo
the Oregon, and the inlter to Si.n Fran
cisco as soon as the Iowa appears, Port
land people are now planning to have
the Oregon thrre for the celebration on
the Fourth. What a draw Ing card that
would be. That city In to haye cele
bration this year which m a celebration.
J. II. Kic'.anbon, the old gentleman
who bns been a. inmate at the poor
house for so.iie time and wandered away
rrcently, was today examined ty Judge
Mays and Dr. Shackelford, when' he
was adjudged insane. He ia wretched
looking old man, but is not violently
insane as yet. Officer Phirmau will
leave with him this afternoon for Salem.
Tl. i . . . . .
can ue no uoudi now that we
are to have play Monday evening
; which is exceptionally fine. Everyone
, has read Henry Ibsen's "Doll's House,"
! ,h,-y hv not heard it played bv
Clara Thropp, who appeared in it six
hundred times in the Duke of York's
j theater in London. Our people should
be sure this ti. ue ml not miss a good
thing.
"It'll all eoaie out in the wash" sure
ly now that thelaundrv is fitted ont so
completely. The latest improvement
was its enlargement. Finlintf. that the
! room in the center was too dark to be
i used as ah ironing room, the building
on the east has been added nnd fitted
up, so mat there are now three auart
ment. There is hot a particle of reason
now for tending laundry away trom the
i cltr, a9 it can be fullv as well done at
home.
Prof, and Mrs. Thos. Condon, of
Eugene, arrived in the city on last
night's train to visit for a few days with
Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Condon. Their old
friends will be glad to again greet them
in The Dalles, where nearly thirty yean
ago Prof. Condon was - stationed as
pastor of the Congregational church. To
them, no doubt, the city will be changed
almost beyond recognition, as years
have passed since even a visit has been
made; but among the sea of strange
faces, here and there will be recognized
that of a friend of days lang sy tie.
R.C. Judson, the industrious industrial
agent of the O. R. A N. Co., hag eecured
of the Carmen Inland Salt Company, of
San Francisco,' a quantity of their
crystal rock salt, to test in some of our
wheat fields as to its value as a fertilizer
as vrelj as its power to draw moisture.
Mr. Judson will experiment with the
salt in (lie Umatilla and Walla Wa.lla
counties. The salt will be sown broad
cast upon the grain at different stages
of its growth, and a record of the con
ditions under which it is applied and
the effect of the application, will be kept
a. a guide to future use. It is thought
that the evil effects of drought maybe
measurably prevented by judicious ose
of salt.
An expressman lonnd out yesterday
that the bed of the Columbia river was
as "soft as downy pillows are," arrd a
little bit stickier, for, attempting to
navigate it with a team of horses and
a wagon, he got stuck not "on it," but
in it. Having taken a small boat down
to float on its billows, and not being
able to drive through the w harf boat,
he decided to drive into the water a
short dtstaoce, w hich was not a difficult
matter, but like the fly who walked into
the parlor, he found it another matter
to get out. It might not have been
quick sand, but it was a quick trip the
outfit made in its descent; while it took
about three hours, with all sorts of
contrivances, to get on the solid ground
again.
Thursday's Dally.
Among the arrivals at the Umatilla
Ilcuse last night wo notice the name of
E. Coke Hill. As none of his friends
seem to have seen him and he has dis
appeared as silently as be came, we sup
pose he was passing through the city and
left us his autograph to remember him
by.
Yesterday a marriage license was
granted to Daniel A. Moad and Elisa E.
Stoy, loth of Wapinitia.
The funeral of the late W.D. Jones tock
place from the residence of his daughter,
Mrs. A. M. Kelsay, this afternoon at 1
o'clock and was largely attended by
friends. His comrades of theG. A. R.
were present in a body, and I lie remains
were interred in their cemetery adjoin
ing Odd Fellows cemetery.'
Sam Jones asked the question "Do
you know that boys are more particular
than girls who they go with? Yon may
think it is a strange statement but it is
so. A girl will go cn the street with a
boy that gels drunk, but the minute he
finds out a girl gets drunk he won't go
with her". Portland Welcome.
The filth anniversary of the Dpgree of
Honor which was held at Fraternity
hall laBt night was a very enjoyable
affair. The hall was crowded, almost
too much so, for dancing to bf fully ap
preciated until the crowd thinned out a
little. A good program was rendered
at the opening of the evenins'a enter
tainment; so that every part of the
entertainment was a success.
This morning A. A. Urqnhart arrived
from Cclilo with four white men and
five Indians, who wpre to be witnesses
in the Indian murder esse, and at 10
o'clock the preliminary hearing began.
It is an endless task to examine Indian
witnesses, and the examination was not
finished as we go to press. It seems
however, to be going much against
Indian Jack, whose teriihlecountenance
is enough to condemn him.
This seems to be a lime of changes in
the O. R. A N. rflices all along the line.
J. A. Walden, who has been the day
opeiator in the office here, will leave at
once for Winona, whete he will act as
agent. His place will be filled by J. C.
Clay, whose position as night operator
will be taken by C. F. Neff, who arrived
last night from Portland. Agents also
are to I changed at Tekoa, Rockford,

maiu in The Dalles, bnt to all who have j un haJ the highett sirgle score. !;
beard of hi wondeiful intellect aid ' while Mr. Nolan came out ahead in the
power of entertaining, to learn that he
will speak this evening in the Congre
gational church at the regular prayer
meeting bour. Hi subject will be,
"The Old and the Xew, or What the
Church Ha Loot and Wh.it It Has
Gained in the Last Fifty Years."
No firm in the city seems to be more
intent on making Its store as replete
as does Pease A Mays, and to that end
they aie continually repaiiing it and
adding thereto. The latest improve
ment 19 the addition of 40 x" 32 feet to
their grocery department. The archway
connecting with the remainder of the
building is now cut through and the
cash carriers are being placed in posi
tion. In a few days the new apartment
will be completed.
"Murphy" is on a bender, and will
be dropping lower from now on. We
have been paying $1.25 a rack for our
spuds," but today price wi.l begin to
fall. The Oregonian yesterday said
"The price of potatoes appears to be on
the decline, which will be good news to
those who have to buy many of these
tubers. Last week they sold as high as
$1.75 per cental, and one day farmers
received $2.08 per sack. Yesterday loads
found slow sale ai f 1.25 per sack. Those
who have held on too lcng are likely to
lose by so doing."
It is not a common thing to hear of
persons being stung by scorpions in the
neighborhood of The Dalles, although
they are often found among the reck
heaps near by. Yesterday, however,
Dr. Hollister was called to attend
Mrs. Stouklii, of Dry Hollow, who had
been stung by the dreaded insect.
In the morning she had gone to tiie
spring for water, and was there bitten
on the foot. It seems there must be a
veritable nest at that place for sous
time since another memberof the family
was stung in the same manner. Mrs.
Stocklii is getting along nicely, and it is
not thought the ' injury will prove
serious.
Representative Tongue has received
the following letter from the quartermaster-general
ot the United States
army, concerning the removal of the
bodies of dead soldiers to their homes:
"It is the intention of the government
to remove the remains of the officers and
soldiers who died at Manila to the
United Stales, but for eanitary reasons,
the disinterments have been discon
tinued. Il is possible that they will
not be done until next winter. The
father of the soldiers should make per
sonal application to the quartermaster
general, asking that the remains be sent
home when received in the Unfted
States."
The Aid Society of the Congregational
church held Us annual meeting yester
day, April 5th. The special interest of
the meeting was centered in the yearly
report of the treasurer, Mrs. J. B. Con
don. It was so satisfactory that, though
the balance in the treasurer's hands ia
small, when the announcement was
made that the last doilar of the debt
was paid the society gave expression to
their feelings of thankfulness by singing
a doxology ot gratitude. Ir.e annual
election of officers resulted in Mrs.
Gilford being elected vice president,
Mrs. Morgan secretary, and of such long
continued habit is the re-election oi
Mrs. Condon as treasurer, there never
seems to be a thought of change in that
respect. Mrs. S. I.. Brooks succeeds
Mrs. A. R. Thompson as president. The
society is to be congratulated on its
excellent work in the fiscal year just
closed.
While Miss Clara Thropp, the best and
brightest of American comediennes was
appearing in London at the Duke of
York's theatre as Nora in "A Doll's
House," CKment Scott, the great Eng
lish dramatic critic visited Miss Thropp
on the stage between the acts, And the
next day he wrote the following lines in
his paper regarding the comedienne:
"As merry as a lark, and as twittering
as a swallow, who has flown from the
home of its birth to gladden our hearts
with Its soft music." Miss Thropp will
shortly appear in this city at Nora.
"A Doll' House" as presented by her is
regarded as the most remarkable play of
the century and has created broadside
of newspaper discussion both in Amer
ica and Europe. She is supported by
an admirable company.
No one would dream that any of the
gentlemen of The Dalles would beat a
lady, not even using the Comtne c!al
Club as his weapon. And yet tuchras
been the case in two different imtances
of late, their excuse being that torn
alKiut is fair play. However, no cisea
have yet come up in court, which we
judge is due to the fact that the defeated
ones are mostly irarnod Indie nnd
therefore courting days aie over. Last
night Merer. Bradehaw, Baldwin, De
Huff, Kuril!, Nolan and May were
challenged to a contest with the team
which they won the honors from before,
consisting of Mesdames Seufert, Hunt
ington, Houghton, Blakeley anil Misses
Lang and Schanno. The defeat, how
ever, was not so sweeping as formerly,
two game being won by the ladies and
two by the gentlemen, the latter coming
out 35 pin ahead. The highest single
total, having 174.

It has been decided to again hold rn
exposition in Portland next fall, and ar
rangements have been begun in earnest
toward that end.
The preliminary examination of In
dian Jack resulted in his being held to
appear before the next grand jury.
W. S. Lytle, a cousin of E. E. Lytle,
who has held the position of auditor of

The Oregonian says the fare to Cloud

last year at Portland, including the
stage trip, for $10. Are we right?
Among the numerous improvements
which no to beautify the homes of our
city, Messrs. Schenck, Seufert and
Butler are preparing to place paved
walks about the grounds surrounding
their residences.
.There will be an ice cream supper at
the Salvation Army on Saturday evening,
April 8th. Tickets 10o. On Sunday,
April 9th, Ensign Evans and Captain
Helm will farewell from The Dalles
corps. Everybody invited to attend the
meetings.
It always seems like parting with old
friends when we see such old landmarks
as the poplar trees, which have for go
many years surrounded the lot cn the
corner of Third and Liberty streets, cut
down. No doubt it is necessary to re
move them, but It is to be regretted that
such is the case.
A new dining car for the O. R. A N.
will be delivered to the company in
Chicago next Monday, fully equipped
for immediate service. A crew has gone
to take charge of it, and bring it out to
the O. R. A N. lines. The new dining
car will run between The Dalles and
Umatilla on the through trains to and
from Huntington. It is expected to
begin service about the 15tb.
, Some people are already beginning,
liktf Noah of old, to build little arks pre
paratory to the oncoming of the June
flood, c'aimiug that it's bound to come.
Well, it may be all right to be cautious,
but let's not prepare to wade tefore the
water gets here. It'll be hard enough
to ford the stream when it reaches ue.
Let's not go to meet it.
In a few day The Dalles will be in
full bloom. . The trees are all putting
forth their bud and nearly every lot in
the city contains just enough fruit trees
to beautify it with their blossoms. 1 he
lawns also are emerald green. Are you
sure, though, that on your lot or sur
rounding it Is not something to mar the
perfeclness of the picture; something
objectionable to the viewT
The Chronicle was mistaken about
Cjke Hill neglecting hi Dalles friends
and passing through the city without
stopping. He spent yesterday In the
city, leaving today for Prinevillu. Al
though it has becu almost fourteen
years since Coke left The Dalles, he is
as loyal as ever, and would even leave
San Francisco to return here if business
Inducements were sufficient to warrant
the change.
One of the most beautiful spots in the
city is the Academy park. It is now in
the best of trim, and kept in such
perfect order that it always looks In
viting:. Tho grounds about the High
school building have also. been terraced
and planted to grass, w hile Irish juniper
and a specimen of cedar trees have been
placed at intervals about the campus.
In time it will vie with the grounds ad
joining in their beauty of verdure.
Tonight is the time for the Easter sale

The Oretiotn'.in haa the following con
cerning F. Kinaey, a former Dalle resi
dent w ho was engineer on the O. R. fc
N. beats for many ears: "Frank
Kins-ey, who has been engineer of the)
reform school at Salem for the past three
and a half years, has returned to his
home on the East Side and is now a
private cit'.xen. A complete change
was made in the employes of this school
and the total number cut by five. Mr.
Kiiisey while serving as engineer at
Salem, did not move his family there,
but they lived on the Eist Side. Ue
made a good' record, and retire to
private life with the satisfaction of hav
ing done his duty."
At the same time when "Slim" was
arrested for having obtained money
under false pretense by selling two
different ordtis for the' same county
scrip, it was alto enid (hat Raymond
Chavry was implicated in the same
kind of a deal. It w ill be remembered
that he was another prominent witness
in the Forrester case; but at the
time Slim was arrested, the Spaniard
could not be found. J. II. Jackson has
been on his trail nnd discovered him at
the Flnlay3on ranch, eighteen miles
from Antelope. He made no resistance
and last night the officers brought him
to the city and placed him in the county
jail. He appeared bclore Justice
Bayard this afternoon, and waved ex
amination. Hi bonds were placed at
1 100J
We are more than fortunate in having;
such nn actress as Clara Thropp spend
an evening in The DalleB. It Is to be
accounted for from the fact that the
company is passing through the city on -
it way East, and, having an extra date,
will fill iu by btopping over in this city.
A she will rpeud Monday in the city,
it has been tuggested that p triors be
secured and the Indies be privileged to
hear Miss Thropp read during the after
noon. 'Tis not often we have an op
portunity to listen to such a talented
actress as this and wo should mue the
most ot it. Of course every theater-goer
will hear her Monday evening. During
the rendition of "The Truant Spouse,"
the comedy which follows "A Doll's
House," she will sing Rndyard Kipling's
famous barrack song, "On the Road to
Mandalay."
Arrival of W. It. June' Body.
Messrs. F. W. Silvertooth and Wm.
Ashby arrived in tho city at 10:30
o'clock this morning with tho body of
William Jones, having left Antelope
about noon yesterday. The remains
were taken to the undertaking parlors
of Wm. Michel, and will be removed to
the residence of hi daughter, Mrs, A.
M. Kelsay, this evening, where the
funeral services will be held tomorrow
afternoon at 1 o'clock, conducted by
Rev. Rushing, of the Christian chnrch,
of which denomination deceased was a
member.
William D. Jones was born in Ray
county, Missouri , on Dec. 5, 1S40, mak
ing him 53 years and 4 month old. He
enlisted and fought in the Civil war. In
1873 he moved to Colorado, and after re
maining there about a year went to
California, where he lived till 1879, com
ing in that year to Wasco county, and
settling in Antelope, where for the most
part, he has since made his home. Since
the removal of hi only daughter to this
city, he has spent quite a little time
here, and was highly respected by all
who met him; as was be also at Ms
home in Antelope, making bis untimely
death deeply regretted by everyone.
