Wtrlncrdny'i Dully. Three cars of sheep passed through last night from tie Willamette Valley on their way to Spokauo. Wool ig slowly but surely beginning to arrive. Today the Wasco warehouse received two heavy wagon Iads of the product from the Deschutes. Yesterday Frilss Ilerziif, a native of Switzerland, appeared beforo County Clerk Kclsny and declared his Intention of becoming a citizsn of the United States. Yesterday there were fifty-two sheep shearers in town, roost of them being Mexicans This morning two four horse loads left for Antelope where they ill beuin shearing. There has been a good deal of com print about the condition of the road to Hie free bridge) on the Deschutes, but we have it from irood authority that the ame will be put In first-class condition "'n ediately. Court has been grinding very slowly l late at the recorder's office, but this morning the monotony was broken when I'Otiis Lund, of Antelope, was brought Wore his honor and fined 10 lor being ""ink and disorderly. A man giving the name of Martin I'ines and clulmlng to bo a resident of Spokane, applied to the nlghtwatehnian bout 2 o'clock this morning for lodging, saying he was 111 and out of funds. He ia apparently quite a sick man and is being cared for at the city jail. Deputy Sheriff F. Sexton and J. C. Meina left this morning for Salem with Geo. McKinnon, who was adjudged in sane yesterday. McKinnon is quite harmless but is suffering from the effects of a runaway accident in which his skull was fractured. It is without doubt that the Hook and Ladder Co., need a new truck. This mornings alarm proved that the present apparatus ia practically of little value. In coming out of the house the front j wheel on the truck was cramped under the ladder and it was some minutes be fore the matter could be remedied. This should not have occurred but the old truck lias seen so unich service and has been patched up 10 much that it is even a wonder that it holds together. The matter should be taken in hand and some means adopted for securing for those who are willing to serve the city without pay something that Is modern and that will be of more service than the present apparatus. After lodge lust night the Modern Woodmen o' America gave a very pleasant entertainment to the members and a number of invited guests. Thero were several selections from a graphs phone secured for the oceasslon, after which Messrs. Long and Gifford de lighted the audience with a clarionet duet. A reading by Mrs. Kddon was greatly appreciated, after which the star number on the evening's program was rendered. It was a solo by Mr. Geo. Ross, whom to many of the au dience was not known to be a musician. However, he acquitted himself In such a manner that he was conlpelied to re spond to several encore. His instru ment was rather antiquated, being one of the old style band organs, but never theless Mr, Ross proved himself to be an entertainer of no mean note. After tho program dancing was the order, and, with Trof. Itrigfeld at the piano, was a most pleasant pastime. AtirinVtnrk tlitu mnrnlna an alarm of fire was sounded and in an incredibly 1 short space of lime the department was on the scene ready for action, but hap ; pily their services were not needed for the fire was extinguished with few tncketa full of water. The fire was in a room in the O'Barr hotel and was j caused by a lamp exploding. Dr. Geia j endorffer, who was attending a patient at the hotel, swelled coal oil and spoke to Mr. Smith, the landlord, about It. I As they started to investigate one of the i help cried Ere and pointed to the room j in w hich tho flames were creeping lo ) the ceil ng. Several men ranie to the rescue and with what water was at j hand, succeeded in puttiug out what likely would have been a very seiious I 41 i . . luniisgrauon Dau tut a lew more min ute elapsed before it was discovered. Thurtdayt Dully. Dr. Jno. II. Hudson has arrived in Tjie Dalles and has formed a partnership with Dr. O. C. Hollister. They are to be found at Dr. Hollieter'a old office rooms in the Vogt block. 3t The weather report says we are to have occasional rains tomorrow. Let them eontinne ; we care not how it ponrs while the atmosphere is so clear and delightful. This morniug, however, we thought from the look of the Klickitats we might expect enow. Woold it not be splendid idea for a rock brigade to be formed and by this means nd our streets of those "measly" little rucks which are so provoking to those who are compelled to encounter them in driving about tho cityT Now is the time to enlist and shoulder a rake. Those who intend to visit the seaside this year would do well to figure on little advance in the price of living, as it is said bote! proprietors will rajee the the price of board on account of com modities going a p. The harvest of the summer hotel is brief, and therefore must be great. The board of fire delegates held meeting last night to consider the appli cation of the South Side Hose Company No. 5, to become permanent organiza tion and to be equipped by the city. It was recommended by them that the council at its next meeting equip the company with a hose cart and bose. We bavo heard nothing regarding petition being started for the early closing of our stores during July and August. It only requires the energy of some enterprising man or determined woman to get this petition circulated and signed. Just as soon as our mer chants find it is the wish of the ladies, it will be done. In spite of our anxiety for news con cerning the fate of our bowlers at Salem last night, only the meager, unwelcome news came that they bad been beaten by the Illihee team, which came out twenty-seven points ahead. It makes quite a difference to thoe interested here just bow many games they won or lost. Twenty-seven points ia not much of a victory unless onr team failed on games. But we must wait patiently for the return ot the bowlers on the evening train. The ladies of the Good Intent Society of the Methodist church were delight fully entertained by Mrs. H. P. Lee, at her home over Pease & Mays' store yesterday afternoon, about twenty members being present. Mrs. Lee served a delicious lunch during the afternoon. A large number of tbe mem bers of the Ladies Aid Society also met at the home of Mrs. James Snipes, on the hill yesterday. A splendid program was given and the afternoon passed most pleasantly with conversation, etc., and was greatly enjoyed. The following pupils of the Hood River public school passed the eighth grade final examination April 19, 20, 21, as prescribed by the course of study lu the following branches : English litera ture, writing, spelling, arithmetic, gram mar, geography, drawing, vocal music, physiology, United States history, read ing and mental arithmetic : Louis Bald win, Belle Howell, Mary Wolfard, Nettie Kemp, Gladys Hartley, Pearl Cox, S. M. Bloers, Ida Strannban, Altlia Parsons, P. C. Logsdon, Nellie Clark. They now hold certificates which entitle them to enter the Ninth grade of any school In the county without further examination. W. H. Butts met with an accident at 4 o'clock this cfternoon, which we much fear will prove a serious one to a man of his age, especially as he has scarcely re covered from a siege of the urippe. Mr. Butts was standing cn the crosswalk on Second street, between French's bank and Nielsen's store, when a runaway team camo down the street. They were not attached to a wagon, but the harness was on them and as one endeavored to run one way and the other another, he could not gel out of their way, but whs thrown down and a bad gash cut in his head. He was also unconscious, not even coming to as be was placed in an express wagon and taken to his home. Mrs. II. Lauretsen and daughter, Miss Km ma, returned on last nights boat the body was not to badly decomposed as might beexpected.and Miss Jacobsen informs as bis tie remained In the same bow which she tied for him before he left her home ou the Lttat afternoon cf tbe drowning. Harry Patterson, who has ben foing the rvnuds of the coast imposing on the various rboiches, is now said to be in Helena, Mont., still plying bis old vocation. A year ago be came here and affiliated himself with the Baptist people claiming that his church letter was then on tbe way from California. In the meantime being out of the "where withal he appealed to some of its members and received assistance, leav log one day for new fields of labor with out mentioning the fact to his creditors lie now shows np in Helena and is claiming be will a-xn receive a church letter irom I he Dalles. Tbe pastor there, however, has taken the precau tion to write here concerning him, and no doubt will receive a letter from the church which will open somebody's eyes, but not contain church ere dentials. The best of good times was that had by about twenty of tbe young lady friends of Miss Harriet Marden, who re cently retain d from Washington, they being invited by Mrs. O. W. Morgan to spend last evening with her at the home of Dr. Belle Rinehart. A surprise pro gram was the novel teature of the ev n- ing, every guest being required to con tribute something to the "amazement" of the others, and attempt to call Into play talents which they failed to possess, and thns as one after another gave solos, recitations and speeches, the latter be ing on such subjects as "Woman's Rights," Politics, etc., tbe remainder of the company positively grew hilarious in their enthusiasm. Another pleasant diversion was a guessing -contest in which Miss Nona Ruch was the success ful contestant, and Miss Alma Schmidt the winner of the booby. About tbe walls of the parlors wore pinned slips of paper of every imaginable shape, and containing parts of quotations which by placing them together decided tbe partners for lunch, and when all were seated at the tables, these quotations were read and the names of tbe authors guessed. The refreshments could not have been more tempting, and were served In juet such a maimer as to make tbem taste all the better. Mrs. Morgan is a genius when it comes to entertain ing, and fills every minute with some thing attractive to her guests. Friday's Dally. August Buchler will place bia cele brated Bock beer on tap Saturday and Sunday. Rev. Crawford R. Thoburn, pastor of Centenary Methodist church at Portland will dedicate the new Methodist church at Moro next Sunday. Fresh solio paper and Eastman's films all aizas direct from the manufactures at Snipes-Kiuersly Drug Co. As we go to press this afternoon the attending physician informs us that Mr. Butts' condition has aesujied more serious indications, there being onmis takable signs of internal injury and serious results from the shock received At Columbus, O., three of the lead ing churches Congregational, Methodist and Baptist have adopted the rule that women remove their hats. There is op position among the women, but the movement promises to make gradual progression. At the Baptist church several maids are employed to wait upon the ladies as they enter, take their hats and wraps and issue checks for them. The Salt Lake papers all speak well of the Bobby Gaylor Company, which plays here tomorrow night. The Tribune says ho is a very sharp-witted IriBh comedian, and that whenever he visits that city be is sure ot a crowded bouse James S. Stewart, editor of the Fossil Journal, went all the way from Fossil to Portland to hear "Ian Maclaren." Mr. Stewart is one of the liveliest, brightest editors of tho state, and never misses an opportunity to hear something good. He was brought up in the same town with John Watson and they played to' gether as boys. That is one reason he was eo anxious to see him. The Dalles zephyrs have again been dealing in real estate today, and it has come up with a vengeance, much to the lisgustof teamsters who have had to encounter it. A number of wool teams came in this morning in spite of the sand. The wool w hich is now arriving is said to bo that from the country nearer town, none from the Antelope section having as yet made its appear ance. Lare loads of pelts are now be ing brought in every day. Portland scalpers huvu been taught a lesson in buying up theater tickets by their exieiinc in that regard with the seats for the Rustonians, and they are now returning them to the box office. The city council has also passed an ordinance providing a brokers' and speculators' licence fur those dealing in theater tickets. A license fee of ff20 per kicked in the chest it ss feared be may be inj'ired Interna ly.

Crowe's building, which is now belcg completed. A partner ship has been fornud by P. G. Daut and S. D. Stoufer, and as soon as the furn iture arrives and everything ia in trim they will be ready for business. Some of the very latest and nicest furnishings have been ordered, and will arrive in about tin days. Cathcert and Strauss have formed a partnership and now oc cupy Daut'a old stand on Second street, where they a ill be ready tomorrow to (urnith customers with the beet brands of cigars and tobacco. Wednesday being (he eightieth anni versary of Odd Fellowship, it was de cided by the members of the order in this city to hold anniversary exercises on ttie regular meeting nwht of the Rebekahs. Accordingly, about eighty members and guests were present at the a., oi r. nan to enjoy the program pre pared. The literary and musical pro gram consisted of a solo by Dr. Doane, a duet by Messrs. Craudall and Doane, solo by Miss Maie Cushing, (with guitar accompaniment? and a short ad dress by Hon. John Michell regarding the order and its, benefits. The grand march, which was led by the leading officers of the orders, and which at once proceeded to the small hall in quest of the banquet, was somewhat different from the usual custom which prevails, from the fact that every gentle-ran was required to have a partner, and could not got a '.'lady of his own," but must have some one's else sweetheart or wife. That may account for the fact that the banquet, which was served by A. Keller, was said to be his very beet effort In that line, and to have been also the most enjoyable the guests ever sat down to.

The eerviees.whicli were conducted by a minister from Hood River, were very largely attended, tbe ciicunistances of bis sad drowning and the length of time which b.id elapsed before the body was found, making the funeral a very Impressive one. In spite of the many months which had passed since the riyer claimed him as its victim, selling theater tickets for profit except the manager of a theater. Violation of the ordinance Is punishable by a fluo of 50 or 25 days imprisonment, or both. The accident which happened to Mr. Butts yesterdav afternoon ia deeply re gretted by his friends, who feel he Is scarcely able to withstand Its results. It is difficult as yet to determine just how badly he is hurt, but having been Retarding the Death of Mrs. N. C.WiUoa. The Arizona Republican has the fol lowing concerning tbe death of Mrs Norman Wilson at Phoenix: "In the passing away of Mrs. N. C. Wilson, whose death occurred ehorllv after 11 o'clock ou Wednesday evening, Phoenix as a community suffers tbe loss of one of those kindly spirits whose in fluence is to touch the beart and to stir the soul to nobler and better aspirations Kind of heart, generous to a fault, with a genial hospitality which extended itself alike to stranger and friend, talented, always filled with a desire to make happiness for others, to those who were so fortunate as to call her friend' ship their's, she lacked nothing of a per' fection of womanly tenderness and gentle Christianity. Her fortitude, maintained far beyond her physical strength and almost to the last moment, inspired hope in the hearts of those who watched tenderly for possible improvement. A trip to the mountains had been planned and its possible benefits anxiously an ticipated by all ; but upon tbe day set for departure the gentle spirit calmly and peacefully took flight to those at titudes to which the soul alone aspires, The deceased waj born in Moulton, Iowa, April 3, 1875, and has been a res Ident of Phoenix for over four years, In which time she has gained an ever widening circle of most sincere friends, It is two years since, as Leona Woold- ridge, she married Mr. Wilson, and tbe deep affection existing between the two had ever been tbe cause for admira tion among those who knew tbem best. As one of the most genial spirits in the commercial life of Phoenix Mr. Wilson will receive the sympathy of bis asso ciates, and the family that of the entire community. . Iallra I'ulillo Schools.

He enlisted in company I, Fourteenth regiment, last year, while it was sta tioned at Vancouver. List fall be strained himself, and for several months was in the hospiul at Manila. He was out in time to engage in some of the early fights with the Filipinos, but was again taken sick and eventually discharged on account of dis ability. IU left Manila March 10th on the Arixona, in company with about 150 other discharged men, and reached San Francisco April 6ih. "Going over ou the transport," said Mr. Saltiman, "we encountered enough to take the patriotism out of any mar. Several days before reaching Honolulu our meat all spoiled. We continued to eat it until we reached Honolulu. Wo were fed on it for twelve davs there. and then lived for eighteen days mor before reaching Manila, with no other kind of meat. ' "I saw strong men so weak with hunger they could scarcely get out ot bed. If the spoiled meat was eaten It gave one cramps so badly that starva tion was preferable. "After we reached Manila the food was better. Until the Filipino war broke ont we bad frozen beef from Australia, aud it was good. After tba trouble began we were given canned beef, and half of it was spoiled. ' I was only in one tight with the rebels. That was at Cingalon, February 5th. The battle beuan about four mi lee out from Manila, and from' 7 o'clock ia the morning until 3 in tbe afternoon it was a hot affair. "We advanced steadily, but slowly, firing all tbe time. The rebels woald turn their guns upside down and bold them high over their heads and fire. Ia this way nothing but their banda and tbe guus were visible above tbe trenches. Of course they couldn't bit us shooting in that fashion, but they kept up a hot fire until we were within twenty feet of them. Then they broke and ran into the canebrake. "We followed them, and found them in trenches oa the other side. Driving: them from there they fled to a block- bouse not fur away. It was while ia this second trench that the hottest fighting occurred. "Tbe rebels who were fighting us that day were Aguinaldo's crack men. They wore white helmets and bad good guns, and if any one tells you they will not fight, don't you believe it. If they ever learn to shoot like our boys can, they will be a hard lot to handle. "I think it will take a long time to conquer these islands. They will never be worth the lives and money it will take. There are eo many natives that killing a few thousand doesn't count. There are millions to take their places. "In each battle there are a number ot men in the rear armed only with knives. When a man in front is shot, his place and gun is taken by one of thesf. "Carbines and sixshooters are the weapons Uncle Sam can use to best ad vantage there. Bayonets and sabers are worthless, and are really in the way. "Tbe boys there think Dewey's mis take was in not sailing out when he had destroyed the Spanish fleet. But Dewey Is tbe idol there. All of the boys would like to see him put in charge. They think Otis is a good office man, but be is too slow for active field work." Mr. Saltzman says if there are any boys there who do not want to come home he couldn't find tbem. "For a few days after the fighting be gan, he said, "while excitement ran high, they forgot all about home, but that soon passed away, and they are longing for home again."
