The D-tlles City breasted the waves
proudly this morning as she left the
dock having on board such an intelli-
Bent array of good looking school
inarms, chaperoned by Supt. Gilbert,
dressed in his beet suit of clothes, and
looking as wise as though he were in
wardly bumming to himself the air of
"A Charge to Keep I Have." By the
wav, the Hood River Glacier has the
superintendent down for "Music," and
if that is actually what the teachers had
in anticipation, it would seem that they
would also be singing "Oh that I had
the wings of a dove, that I might fly
away and be at rest." However, they
all looked bappy, bo we judge the Glacier
meant Mr. Gilbert's name as a signa
ture instead ot bis being a participant
in the singing. Then his wife was with
him, and she surely would not have
none had that been the case. Beside
Prof. Gavin and wife and Prof. Landers,
the following teachers were on board:
Misses Salina Phirman, Elsie M. Ball,
Ella Cooper, Nan Cooper, Minnie Mi
chell, Etta E. Wrenn, Emma S. Roberts,
Mary Douthit, Mrs. Baldwin, Mrs. K.
Roche. They were also accompanied
by Mesdames E. M. Wilson, W. 8.

visitor, nicked up a nugget near town
the other day. Its estimated value

The fickle weather of the past few
days has caused the river to be fickle,
and instead of rising, it fell yesteiday,
standing at 14.1 this morning.
The latest word as to the condition of
Bessie Rowland was received yesterday,
and was to the effect that her condition

The East End will be lively from now
on, as the wool teams begin to arrive.

miss urace waynard, the young
woman who was in The Dalles a few
months ago with McEwan, the hypnot
1st, has been called to take the long
sleep from which even the great hypno
tist cannot awaken her, and which, it
would seem, is preferable to the sleep
she bad been taking. She died recently
at St. Cloud, Minnesota. Although she
Beemed well when in this city, it was
said she contracted a severe attack of
pneumonia at Salem, as a result of
being thrown into the river by a boat

party at the time.
Captain S. B. Orrosby recently re
celved a letter from the department
ordering him to inspect nine townships
of land on the headwaters of the Des
Chutes river, in the Cascade forest

that portion to the public domain. Su

the death of Maggie Keys, youngest

game.

Moro people are working hard to ob
tain the mail contract for the route be
tween that city and Prineville. Their
promises are numerous and far reaching
hut the fulfillment is yet to come. They
are sending out advance agents alorg
the line soliciting signers to a petition
for the same. So far as we can ascer
tain but an hour or two will be gained
in time, which la the only advantage to
any one except the Moro people. The
Antelope Herald says: "Mr. C. O.
Knney, of Moro, 'spent the latter part
of last week In our town, circulating a
petition for change in the present
Prineville -Antelope -The Dalles mail
route. The proposed change, as we un
derstand it, involved the abandonment
of the above named route, and the cre
ation of a new one from Moro to Prine
ville, via Antelope. We understand
that Mr. Kuney was fairly successful, a
number of our citizens signing the
petition. However, many others could
see no specihl advantage to be derived
by anyone except the good citizens of
Moro, anil as Moro's gain would be The
Dalles' Ions, they refused to sign the
petition."

JuBt to prove that they were fiery
steeds, the team of white horses which
daily furnishes the motive power for the
city "slop wagon," got on a tangent
last evening and made Court street

way. It looked rather sloppy for a
time.
Richard Goode, chief of Pacific Di

Spokane, will fill the position of level
man in the Baker City district. Mr.
Page, of the same party, goes to the
Spokane district.
The lawns of our city are now overrun
with dandelions, which is one of the
worst enemies of a pretty lawn imagin
able. In some lots such a foothold has
been gained that there is no alternative,
they must be plowed up and re-sown In
grass. However, ll they have only
gotten a start, the best thing to do Is to
patiently dig them up by the roots look
ing to it that there are none bordering
the outside walks, from which the seeds
can blow.
Miss Adams is unable to be at her
desk in Pease & Mays' office today on
account of a slight accident which she
experienced yesterday at noon. When
coasting down the grade at the west
end of Fourth street on ber bicycle, she
fell from her wheel and striking some
rocks broke the wheel and was bruised
up pretty badly. She is particularly
unfortunate, as about a year ao she
experienced a similar accident. It Is
thought she will be able to be about in a
few days.
H. L. Vorse, manager of the Oregon
Telephone Company, returned last night
Irom a business trip in Colorado. Mr.
Vorse says that they experienced a
terrible winter in that state, and that
the railroads are just beginning to re
cover from the blockade. One thing
hat greatly surprised 'him on his trip
was the fact that the people in that
state seem to be more thoroughly in
formed concerning the mining interests
of our state than are we ourseives, and
n going away fro.ii home lie learned
list how famous Oregon is becoming in
that regard.

were surprised by a visit from tae entire
delegation of teachers of the public
schools, who had previously gathered at
Prof. Gavin's for the purpose of calling

long in find.ng out that good boys in

termed a rebel, as in those days many of
that pty sympathized with the South.
He, however, fought in the Mexican war.

tion 1 1 i'iarter-master.
He w as aouitt 79 years of age, little bar
lug kuowo as to bis early life. Coming;
to The Dalles from California in 1964, he
was hotler for Wheeler A Mayhew, who
owned the stage line between this place)
and Canyon City. He at'.erward worked
for Boomer on the Overland, making his
headquariets at Umatilla. Liter he en-
gaged in the livery business and for sum
time did a draying busiuess here. Of
late years he has been unable to work,
and subsisted mostly on a tension, be

looked after his welfare.
"Tom" was a queer character, and
though gruff In hii manner, at heart he
was kind, and his affectionate nature
was always shown in hie kindneee to

joy which he felt at finding his services

'REBEL TOM.
Soma Incident. Coiicerutnr
Nuw Ended.
HI. Lire,
Everyone who has lived in The Dalles
any length of time knows old "Rebel
Tom," who since the early '60s has been
a familiar character here, a land mark,
spending most of his time about the
livery stables of our city, until last fal',
when, becoming too ill to take care if
himself, be was taken to the county poor
farm, where Mr. Cushing has made him
his special care, until Friday when he
passed away. No one knew him by the
name of William Thompson, although
such he was christened; but In early
days it was the custom to nickname
everyone who was "one of the boys,"
and so William became Tom. Why be
might tote .the right way. Long and
faithful did they labor with Tom in the
endeavor to win a vote tor Lock wood,
but iu vain. He was then working for
R. B. Hood, and a scheme was concocted
to get rid of Ida vote at least. All at
once it was discovered that a large sum
of money must be sent to Canyon City
on election day, and none so trustworthy
to carry it as Tom, who in the an'V.ipa
tion thought himself a few knots above
the presidency. At the midnight hoar
Tom was perched on the stage seat,
with the treasury box under bis feet,
and resting on it a large shot gun for
defense. ,
Election day passed, and Tom en
countered no place where he could vote;
but he guarded the treasure until he
reached bis destination and opened tbe
box to see -that his charge was safe.
What was bis chagrin to find a box
half full of rocks, and the wrong kind
too. Returning home aud not knowing;
who to blame, many of his friends re
ceived the cold shoulder for months
after. And the Democrats lost a rote,
as they have now lost a voter.
All that remained of Rebel Tom wsa
laid to rest in the city cemetery
Saturday afternoon at 4 o'clock.
