It beingsuggested that tlie" bachelor,"
In making their achedule of price of ad

night, were manifesting a vindictive
spirit toward the old maid, in assess
ing them 50 cent a head, we gathered
from a conversation with one of the al
leged bachelor today that their reason
for o doing waa that the old maids, being
always Instinctively attracted to any
assemblage of bachelors, would likely
occupy a large portion of the seating
capacity of the Christian church, there
fore the bachelor took the proper pre
cautions and made the above charge.

Last evening a the august board of
directors, with dignified bearing, were
. in the director' room at the club
assing weighty matters. uddenlv
there flew through the transom above
the door a delicate little note. Strange
it was to see the reserve and wise ex
pregsion change to an eager look of
expectancy a each member started
from his seat with the assurance that
the missive was directed to iiim by
bis wife. It, however, transpired that
it was a partnership affiir, addresped to
the board and containing a special re
quest from the ladies that the doors of
the club be opened to them Saturday
evening that they may witness the con
test game between the club team and
the l'lehee bowler of Salem. Needless
to say the request had been foreseen,
and they are to be received with open
oiuir. iuai jg, providing there 18 no
"rooting," which the ladies understand
to mean that there is no favoritism to
be shown, or undue applause. Dalle
ladies understand the situation.

which occupation he is by natural en
dowment well qualified.
The Salem bowling team which will
play against the club team Saturday
tiittht, is composed of Messrs. McGrew,
D'Arcy, Hatch, Barker, Griffith and
Minto. It is probable The Dalles team
will consist of Messrs. Bradehaw, Nolan,
Houghton, Baldwin, Schmidt and either
DcHutf or Hertz, the latter name being
decided by the result of their try-out.
There are to be a number of changes
in the location of business firm

optician, will remove hi store to a

Williams, W. A. Slingerland and E. E.
Savage came up from Hood River and

ing against the brain cause him untold
suffering. An operation will be
performed tomorrow morning.
"Hello, Endersby," was heard to
vibrate over the Oregon Telephone w ire
yesterday afternoon, the line being con
nected with that postofrke yesterday.
No doubt the people of that section will
be delighted to be in direct communi

farm throughout that section.
Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Bigg returned
on lBt evening's truin, after having
spent six months visiting relatives in
Missouri and California. Their first
vieit was in Canton, Mo., after which
they went to Kansas City for a short
trip. They report the winter a hard
one. Coming to Southern Calllornia
they spent some time In 1 Angeles
and other cities. On their way homo
they remained In San Francisco about
two weeks. Altogether they have had a
delightful trip. Mr. Biggo says Los
Angeles county is still suffering sadly for
want of rain, only about four Inches hav
ing fallen this season. Much of the
fruit crop will be lost. Mr. and Mrs.
Itiggs will remain here for a short time
at leant, and we truBt will decide to
make The Dalle their home.
doubt would be much
aware that a
Senator McBride ha been urging up
on the official in Washington that work
te taken up and pushed to secure the
right of way for the proposed boat
runway at The Dalles. He con
k )d the chief of engineers a to just
what bad been done in this direction
and was told that for the right of way
and for the terminal facilities of the
boat railway, 323.83 acres of land were
required. Of this amount, up to June
HO last, title to, or right of way over
188 .09 acre bad been obtained. In view
of thi fact, be has urged that (he matter
be pushed to a epeedy conclusion, that
the right of way may be completed, and
some of the money now on hand be ex
pended in getting the project under way
in time to secure further appropriation
from the next congress. Until the right
of way 1 obtained, none of the fund on
hand can be expended, and congress will
make no further appropriation. The
fact that the right of way wag not fully
obtained prevented anv aDDronriation
for tbia project in the last congress.
Mghtwatcbman Phirman wag this
morning about 1 o'clock called upon to
straighten out a man (?) whom he
should of at once thrown into the Co
lumbla, and probably would have done
so, bad not his respect for our grand
river caused him to hesitate to eo sully
its waters. The aforesaid individual
lives somewhere in the vicinity of the
garrison, and unfortunately has a wife
who ia now helpless, and four children,
who for years have been scarcely able to
eke out an existence, and have been
wandering from pillar to post, the thing
wbocalls himself their protectorspending
every cent for that which put the
finishing touches on the job which
nature pretty ably accomplished in
creating a fool. At 1 o'clock this morn
ing he came home reeling, and kicking
open the door gained admission and
made things lively for his family for a
short time, when Phirman wa aent for,
and the culprit landed in the city jail.
Such brute should be settled once for
all, and the amazing thing is that
women have no more stamina than to
put up ith their brutality.
Friday's Dally.

How well do we remember hearing of
the dreary all-day and night journey
in lumbering, creaking vehicle.
Few remain in our vicinity today, and
from all appearance it will be but
(hort time until they are a thing of the
past.
But the old stage driver, he will still
be with us, vigorous a ever, alwaya
ready to rehearse with pathetic earnest
ness the glories of the old coaching day,
and likely will often resent the intrusion
of the railroad.
That the iron-horse ha crowded out
the thorough-brace in Shermau county
ia not aurprising, and should it pursue
its course on to Prineville, Crook county
would not be out of reason, for at
prerent that place is not nearer than
Tbe Dalles to a railroad, and i the
center of a yery large atock country.
A interior place are settled, more
become the need of quick transporta
tion and it Is but a matter of time until
the shrill whistle will reverberate among
the hills of the southern part of our
county and we will, with the old stage
driver, regret the demand of the age.
Truly the world grow smaller every
day.

A brief dispatch from Co'ville pub
lished Tuesday told of a remarkable)
o.i.e of w hat appeared to be hydrophobia
at that place, the victim being Misa
Nettie Fogg. The case a it cow de
velops is on e of the most peculiar that
ever occurred in tbe Northwest. Hya
tericai imaginary hydrophobia Is what
it might be termed, for tba young
woman was never, to the knowledge of
her relative and frieuds, bitten by at
mad dog.
Saturday she was thrown into a eerie
of convulsion that seemed as if it must
terminate fatally. She barked, gulped
food and lapped water like a do;, and
twisted and turned her body a a dog la
agony would. Suddenly she righted
herself and with a vicious snap teiaed
one of her thumb b 'tween her teeth
and would have bitten it off, but for in
terference. A few seconds after this
Nettie began to bark, growl and snap
just as a dog does when irritated. Sha
remained in that condition for about
five minutes when another spasm look
her and the united muscles ot three)
were required to hold her. In period of
semi-consciousness she would point to a
tear on her breast and say "Garfield did
it." On inquiry, it was learned that
Garfield wag a dog for many years ia
the Fogg family. One of tbe sister
said Nettie had told her that the clog
had bitten her about nine years ago.
The dog at one time was suspected of
being mad, but recovered from the
seeming attack.
It is thought Nettie was bitten by tha
dog and had been greatly frightened
thereby, thinking she might some time
contract hydrophobia. Being of a
nervous temperament and recently in
poor health, the theory is Bhe worked
herself into a hysterical c mdition, when
she imagined she had hydrophobia and
developed all the symptoms of that
malady, something not unusual in I he
history of medicine.
In Favor of Colorado Sprlnga.
Chas. II. Gleira, traveling freight and
passenger agent of the Colorado Midland
Railway, is In The Dalle. The purpose)
of hli visit to our city is to interest the
Elks in the ma! ter of holding the grand
lodge meeting of 1900 in- Colorado
Springs. Tbe national meeting tbia
year in to be held in St. Louis in June,
and by instructing their delegate to
vote for Colorado Springs as the meet
ing place of the following year, the Elks
have no idea what a favor they will con
fer on those who are permitted to at
tend. To one who hn'B been privileged
to visit that beautiful place, and take ia
the grandeur of it surroundings Pike's
Peak, theGarden of tbe Gods, Cheyenne
Canyon, and numerous other places fully
a wonderful, the very Idea of cuch an
opportunity ia enough to create any
amount of enthusiasm and cause one to
wish ho might be a delegate. -
A trip over the road which Mr. Glelm
has the honor of representing is enough
to Induce all to vote for Colorado
Springs. No route could be chosen
which would give delegates better op
portunity to see scenery which must of
necessity be remembered for a life time.
as every newspaper representative who
bad the privilege of traveling over that
route laet year will affirm.
Tliis winter ha proven an excep
tionally hard one on the railroads
of Colorado, on this road in particular,
which for seventy-seven days was tied
up with a blockade of enow which ear
passed any previous blockade in its
history. One can scarcely believe the
weather bureau contain facta when it
give the fall of mow during the winter
along that road at 31.' s feet ; but such
were the reports.
Mr. Gleim will visit various lodges
throughout Oregon and as far as San
Francisco, in the interest of Colorado
Springs for a meeting place In 1900.
Muat Women Wear Wlga.
If the pompadour head prevails much
longer women will be bald and wig a
crying necessity. Already from across
the water come rumor of wigs worn by
smart Parisians, whereat our men groan
in spirit and beseech their womankind
not to adopt this latest freak of fashion.
But it isn't a freak of fashion; it has
reason for being, and many a woman
will bail with delight this opportunity
to bide her baldness.
In other day thosa same women
would have done their hair up on wav
ing pins over night, but the time has
passed when women are willing to go to
bed looking like frights. And that is
another reason for Increasing baldness
that so many women keep their heads
overheated by the use of tbe pompadour
rolls.
Subjected to incessant use of tongs and
the scalp overheated by the roll, hair
die a natural death. Dame Nature
tubmlt to abuse just about so long and
then the take rcyenge. She is taking
revenge now nice little bald spot on
women' beads, the result of hair di op
ping out by the handful.
