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. Thursday's Dally. Yesterday morning when A. Bruner, a sheep herder, waa splitting wood, the ax slipped and cut bis left foot very aeverely. Dr. llollieter wag called and was compelled to take seven or eight stitches iu the wound. Sam L. SimpBon, the Oregon poet, whose "Beautiful Willamette" made him famous, hag decided to quit the Webfoot slate. He will go to San Fran cisco and engage iu literary work, for 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 soon. We understand P. G. Daut, the optician, will remove hi store to a portion of the building which is to be oc cupied by the First National bank, while C. F. Cat heart will occupy hi present stand, putting in a cigar store. Other change are contemplated, but not de termined upon.

Slingerland and E. E. Savage came up from Hood River and were present at the meeting. The nurse, Mr. Ida Crawford, who is in attendance on George McKennon, the man who wa badly injured in a runaway Monday evening, inform ua that he shows little signs of improve ment, being in an unconscious state most of the time. The left side of his head was badly cut and the skull press 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 cation with the outside world. It will be particularly advantageous to them should 'phone be placed at various 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. The condition of Geo. McKinnon ia decidedly better and from all indication he will pull through all right. The management of the club have kindly invited the ladies to be present at the bowling contest tomorrow even ing. peven nean oi worn horse were hipred to Portland thi morning on the boat where they will be offered for aale.

They lie clear and clean of any tooth in the elk' head. They are In either aide of the upper jaw, two inches from tae front of the mouth. I named lately beneath the "tooth" is a toothless hollow. The part of the "tooth" below the gum bulges blunt and round, and is similiar in shape to some of the wooden golf sticks.

It was not many year ago when The Dalle wa the distributing point for all Eastern Oregon and a large share of Idaho, trade having extended as far a Boise City. Passenuer leavinir The Dalles In those day had but one cboxc the etage coach and they wre always crowded. The arrival and departure of the thorough-brace with four and six horse attached was the event of the day 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.

Use Clarke A Falk'a Floral Lotlne for unburn and wind chafing, tf 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. J. D, Bridge, editor and proprietor of the Democrat, Lancaster, N.
