While Mr. Butts Is not considered out of danger by any means, the doctor in forms ns this afternoon that he is much better than he was yesterday at this time. Never mind a little' cold weather. Think of the fearful blizzirdsin Missouri and be content with your lotA for the weather report says fair and warmer for tomorrow. Lambing is pretty well along in the sheep-raising sections, and flock owners state that the increase will be about 75 percent. This is considered good after the past severe winter. Heppner Times. At a meeting of the Commercial Club last evening a committee was appointed to solicit subscriptions to assist in pur chasing instruments which Home of the bovj are lacking in order to complete arrangements for a club band. Henry Krause, one of Wasco's lively citizens, is in town today. Mr. Krause tells us Wasco is about twice the size that it was before the Columbia South ern discovered it, and tbe citizens are still very hopeful of its future. For several Sundays past a number of onr young men have found great amuse ment in engaging in a game of ball at the fair ground. Tomorrow afternoon a team from the Commercial Club will meet a picked nine on the diamond. From a letter by J. C. Johnston, who ii superintending the log drive on the Deschutes, we learn that the body of Charles Sweeny, who was drowned some weeks ago, has been recovered, and was buried on the 20th, lost. Further than that the body was recovered by Indians, there were no other particulars. Dufur Dispatch, A number of The Dalles Masons will attend a meeting of the Royal Arch Masons in Hood River tonight unless Ko. 1 comes in too late for them to reach there in time. Among those who en ticipate going are Messrs. G. Liebe, R. F. Gibbons, C. W. Dietzel and wife, Otis Patterson, Dr. Saunders, Dr. Logan, "d Victor Marden. Thursday rendleton people were greatly surprised to he visited by a light enow storm, and the farmers who ive wheat way behind the times in regard to growth were becoming appre hensive. There Is moisture enough; but what they need is warmth. And nch seems to he the need of the country '"the vicinity of The Dalles. A " port somehow got circulated this morninK tlmt the Bobby Gaylor Co. ould not appear at the Vogt tonight. There wr positively no foundation for , " "" rtion, and the company arrived ere this morning. Many traveling D'n '" 1'ave visited the city, and "'e-n in the highest terms. One might imagine MalcrA Benton ere about to declare war from the ap- """ice ol their show window, which eontai ns a very novel advertisement for Wind 'i-r cartridges. It was gotten "P l7 A. 11.

There will be a large class of graduates four young men and eleven young ladies c mpleting the course. The teachers are already engaged is preparing a closing entertainment for the public cchcels, wbich till be held on the Friday evening precrediug. Their entertainments are always good, and this is to be no exception. Yeeterday W. E Garretson reie ivtd a, document of which he is very proud. It is in the shape of .a diploma from the South Bend College of Optics iu Indiana, conferring on him the degree of Doctor of Optics, the highest honor which the institution can give. Mr. Garreteon was much gratified at its receipt as be had expected to receive only the grad oate degree. The resident, however, assured him that the evidence of close application to detail and his thoroogh understanding entitled bira to the highest honors. No doubt many of the residents of The Dalles, who have failed thus far to discover that type is far from Infallible and that mistakes will happen in the best of offices, at once determined upon purchasing a piano as they read in flaring letters last night that Jarohn is selling thorn at $1 ISO a piece. It is an acknowledged fact that that company is offering unheard-of bargains, but if you are thinking of buying a piano take $150 with you instead of $1.50 or you'll get left. A small period, when creeping into the wrong place, may often make a hundred dollars worth of difference. Ian Maclaren writes on "The Art of Listening to a Sermon," in the May Ladies' Home Journal, the first article of a series on the relations of tbe pulpit and the pew which he will contribute to that magazine. This author-preacher w rites that the regular church-goer has a great advantage over the "casual" in comprehending the minister's discourse, nearly half the beauties and points ol a sermon being lost if they fall on un trained ears. Hearing requires as much effort as preaching, says Ian Maclaren, for "no sermon is worth hearing into which the preacher has not put his whole strength, and no sermon can be heard aright unless the bearer gives his whole strength also." Two of our bowlers, Ed Kurtz and Vic Schmidt, returned home on last evening a train. The remainder, they say, have been attempting to get home ever since the game, but somehow there an attraction in the valley towns which cannot be overcome. If we were not so well assurred as to the good be havior of The Dalles team we would say, judging from the time the Telegram reporter must have bad in deciphering their names on the hotel register, that they were unable to get here. It is re ported that it was with difficulty Mayor Nolan was induced to leave Salem, and he fairly declares it was the good treat ment they received which caused them to be beaten ; that he could not bear to again down such a generous, hospitable people. Expressman Kurtz is now re gretting that he is not an eloquent writer that he might give vent to his apprecia tion of their reception, while Vic Schmidt is just as ardent, the only feature wbch he regrets at all being the absence of young ladies to witness the game.

Today S00 school bonds of District No. 5 were sold to W. h. Bell, of Spokane, at par, at six per cent, with a premium of 2. Charles Dewey, a brother of the ad miral, says that the family name was always whjit It Is, and . has never been changed from Tuohy. Although Mr. Butts' case is still a serious one, and he suffers greatly, thf re is yet hopes of his recovery, and his friends are anxiously awaiting raws that he is better. Mr. W.J. Blake, of The Dalle, has purchased Thos. Davidson's large band of sheep. The price paid w as 1)2 er head with a cut of five per cent. There were about 0000 in the haul purchased, lone Herald. We are more than pleased to learn that our efforts in behalf of the early closing movement Is appreciated and. that the ladies of our city are preparing to take the matter in hand and see what can be done. W. H. Fowler cinie home this morn ing from Chicago, having visited sev eral other cities In the East. Mr. Fowler Still retains his preference for the Wei-t, and says that considered from any point of view, it Is the only place In wl icli to live.-E. O. Mr. Geo. MrCrrdy. says an exchange, will shear over 8000 sheep this "spring, Owing to scarcity of range these sheep will be driven to a point near Golden dale and the wool hauled to The Dalle. DALLES WEEKLY CHRONICLE WEDNESDAY. MA-V 3, 1899 Jir. jiciredy could not see bis wav clear to shear near Arlington. Mr. William Shelley arrived this morning from Celilo bringinu newa of the deatb of Thomas Walsh at hit farm near that that place, he having been ! auxea oy a horse near tbe region of the heart, and living but an hour and a half afterward. He will be buried at that place tomorrow. The matrimonial market in Wasco county has ben somewhat dull of late, and Cupid ha not been doing a rushing business. He, however, fell somewhat encouraged Saturday when as a result of his labor County Clerk Kelsay issued license to J. D. McAndio and Miss rannie Mcrphy, of Antelope. A'itBta..la..'.

Having lived in The Dalles for jears and having many warm friends yet residing here, the sad news will be received with deep regret in this city. W. E. Simonton.of Albany," a splen did musician and friend of Rev. Poling, arrived in the city yesterday. He favored the audience at the Congrega tional churcb last evening with a fine cornet solo. It is to be hoped Mr. Simonton will be persuaded to remain in The Dalles, as he would be a great addition to our musical circles. The infant child of Mr. and Mrs. D. Morris, died of brain fever yesterday at the home ot Mrs. Morris' parents, Mr. and Mrs Davis, in this city, and was buried today from the United Brethren church, Rev. Wood conducting the ser vice, Mr. and Mrs. Morris formerly lesided here, but are now living at Sumpter. Our 'orirer Dalleeites in. Hood River are letting their light so shine that other residents of that place, who are. still using coal oil, feel like hiding their lights under a bnehel. Friday evening the business places of Clyde Bonney and Charles Clarke were lit for the first time with acetelyne gas, and loomed up in great style. Beginning on Wednesday,. May 3d, tbe steamers of the D. P. & A. N. Co. will leave the dock in this city at 8 o'clock instead of 7 as at present. This will be good newa to those who find it dificult to get down In time to catch tbe boat in the morning. But no doubt there will be just as many passengers reach the head of the walk just as the steamer la pulling ont as there are when it leaves earlier. The ladies at the west end of Third street were badly frightened this morn ing by a vicious old tramp, who, because they refused to feed him, began cursing and swearing, and at one house where a lady is sick, almost frightened her into spasms. The marshal was telephoned for, but at last eccounts bad not found him. After reading in an Oregonian editoria1 Saturday how there are at present 7000 boy tramps in the United States, one is led to wonder where this dreadful nuisance will end. Ernest Jensen, who is an old sailor, as a matter of courso would not forget Dewey day, and the window at Wil liams' store is proof that he has remem bered it well. In the center of the window is the Olympia, floating in the blood red water of Manila bay, and on its bow, with glass in hand, a figure rep resents Dewey. . To the right is the dispatch boat McCullough, sailing out in blue waters on the way to Hong Kong, 028 miles distant, to bear the news of the great victory to the world, which triumph is today celebrated throughout the United States. On the flag poles Ernest has placed brooms, signifying the clean sweep, while many other features, among which Is a large picture of the hero, shows what a genius the window dreeser is in that art. If anyone has an idea that Dalles people have forgotten that the old-time May day has given place to another holiday which is to commemorate the wonderful victory of one of the greatest heroes of the age, and from henceforth will be termed "Dewey D.ty," iet them look all about them and see the display of our iiutional colors, which indicate that we have raieed thorn "lest some forget." 'Twus a beautiful eight to the eyes of the school children as they rested on the brow of the hill this morn ing and saw the Stars and Stripes float ing from the school building and upon looking around on every flag staff in the city beheld the same colors wafted to the breeze. 'Twas a lesson than which no better could be given, and surely must have made their hearts glow with patriotism as they remembered the hero ol Manila bay and his wonderful victory (or our country. If a prisoner intends to escape the vigilant eye of John Fitzgerald he must get up early in the morning, much earlier than I), as was proven yester day morning. Michael Dunn was pretty eute ahum it, but he yet languisheth. As Is his wont, Mr. Fitrgerald told the .til, iiita Saturday to get In a sufficient r ,,t of wood so that there would be! am no need of their being let out on Sun day, but this they neglected to do pur-imm-ly. At 5 o'clock yesterday morning Dunn went to the Indian's cell, the one nearer the outside gtating, and made him get up and let him occupy it. When the Jailer cbiiih down later he told the Indian to l.ghl a fire, but was answered that they t ad no wood. Supposing no one was in the Indian's ceil, he walked to the stove, leaving tbe door to the sheriff's office ajar, having hit eye on the remainder of the room. As quick as a flash Dunn dashed from the front cell out into the office and on through the hall to the street. Syd Kelly, ton of tbe aheriff, happened to be near bv and started after Mm, aucceed.ng la heading bim otf, and at he reached Court street, between First and Second, Fitzgerald captured him and again landed bim be hind the bars. He is in for alight of fensestealing provisions but he hat made bit lot a harder one by his esca pade. T'letdajr'a Dally. Joe Bonn, who has been confined to hit home for the past few dayt with the grippe, is again able to fill his place as clerk in Mart and Crowe's store. A letter received from Union, in Grand Ronde Valley, says that yester day there were eight inches of anow on the ground and it was ttill snowing so, bard one could not tee across tbe street. The office of the Eastern Oregon Land Company bat been moved from itt former location to rooms 17 and IS of the Vogt block. Mr. Geo. T. Parr, who has recently arrived in the city, will be the resident agent. The body of Thomas Walsh was brought to tbit city this morning from Celilo, followed by quite a large pro cession of friends from that place. The funeral services were held at tie Catholic church at 11 o'clock. Cascade Locks Is said to be receiving more than even its usual apportionment of rain this year. Every day they have a rain storm of some description, and the portage road has suffered greatly from washouts, slides, etc. Remember that the boat leaves at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning, instead of 7. 'Tbit change Is made to accommo date tourists on the other end of the line who are desirous of seeing the locks and cannot do so when tbe boats meet below tho locks. It is now expected that a bowling team from the Astoria club will visit our city on the 15th of this month, when a contest game will be played with the Commercial bowlers. Tbit is said to be a aplendid team, and no doubt tbe game will be an Interesting one. On account of an over-rush of work, it will be impossible for Thc Chhon ici.b's collector to call upon itt patrons tomorrow. He will, however, make his appearance either on the 4th or 5th, when he hopes to find all bit debtors ready to receive bira with good grac, having been given few dayt of grace. It it a source of deep regret to the numberless friends of Mrs. C. E. Height that she Is again confined to her bed, having been able for tome months to be about ber rooms. At the same time it it aleo remarkable to note the fortitude with which she bears her suffering, and her concern for fear of being a care to ber friends. the has requested that her appreciation be expressed, through Tux Ciiboniclb to the many friends who have shown such kindness to" her, re- gietting that her condition forbids ber receiving them at her home and thank ing them personally. Last Sunday was a day of special in terest in Moro. The town has been en joying a very rapid but healthy growth. The church interests have kept pace with tbe prosperity of the town and country. Under tbe able and inspiring leadership of Rev.. C. D. Nickelsen, a very beautiful and commodious Metho dist church has been erected at a coat of $2700. Much credit is due to the car penter, W. A. Raymond, and to tbe painter, R. M. Brash, for the elegant finish which makes it an exceptionally fine building. Dr. C. R. Tboburn preached the dedicatory sermon, after which $900 was asked for to settle out standing claims. The response was so hearty that $104j.(0 was realized. At a special meeting of the water com missioners held last evening, a resolu tion, substantially as follows, was adopted, and it now in force and effect: "That each property owner is granted the privilege of not more than a one inch tap on the city water mains for a stand pipe to be used for fire purposes only, at the rate Si $1 per month for each fifty feet or part thereof for said property. That said tap is to be put in under the direction and supervision of superintendent of the water works, and said pipe is to be under the control of the chief engineer and firn warden. That such privilege is to be granted on condition that the privileges stated may be revoked, altered or amended at any tiu.e the corhmiesfon may ete fit or just cause. Mr. and Mrs. S. French arrived home this morning from a three-months visit in New York and the New England states, coming over tbe Great Northern route. While glad to ag.iin le at home, they report an extremely pleasant visit with old friends, spending some time in eac'i of the New England states, Maine excepted. Among tho many reunions and gatherings which they atlendeil wat one given by Ex-Gov. Grout, of Derby, Vermont, to a party which visited a '!!' plantation and there they were permitted to tee an me latest metnous and appliances for making the famous maple sugar. Mr. and Mrs. French both feel that their health, which wat much Impaired, hat received benefit by the trip, and re encouraged by the im provement noticable in Dr. Gertrude't condition. Amos Root it up from Mosler today. Speaking ol the fruit conditions in hit section, Mr. Root says he will have ab solutely no peaches, a partial crop of prunes, a few pears, which, strange to say, are found on the very topt of the trees, and a good crop of cherries. Mr. Creighton of 3 Mile, Informed us Satur day that he expected a very good crop .f i ,. . . u, imi-j praciira, wnne (lie later onet were mostly killed. Other fruit seems tobe in pretty good condition. He says the tituatiou ie extremely queer, the frost seeming to have struck in spots, lor while one tree escwped, an other In close proximity wat killed. George Snipes, who wat up from hit place today, being asked how peaches were faring in hi neighborhood, said a number had fared pretty badly, he hav ing cut down about 500 trees in his orchard, two-thirds ef hit peach trees having been killed. However, many of hit neighbors have suffered little In that regard. Yesterday afternoon and thlt mornv inic Messrs W. 11. Wilson and E. C. Pease, of the Commercial Club, called upon our citizens and solicited subscrip tions to aid in procuring instruments which are lacking, music and uniforms for the band which is being organized In theclub. Dalles citizens are noted for the cheerful manner in which they re spond to such requests, and these gentle men inform us there were but two or three exceptions to the rule in this instance. A city the size of The Dalles cannot afford to get along without a good Land, which somehow infuses a life into a community as its strains are occasionally heard in the air. For the present the band will be directed by Rev. Poling, who is said to be a splendid bandman, and they Intend giving con certs at least twice a month on the club portico. Occasionally a sacred concert will be given on Sunday afternoon. The concerts which were given two years ago in this city were a source of great pleasure to everyone, and these will be equally as well enjoyed. The club feels very grateful for the manner in which its committee was received, and yet we consider that the community at large is to enjoy the benefits of tbe band equal ly with the club members. The total amount collected was $413. When .Nature Needs assistance It may be best to render it promptly, but one should remember to use even the -most perfect remedies only when needed. The best and most simple and gentle remedy Is tbe Syrup or Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co.

Portland people have been agitating; the question ot having the Oregon vol nnterr mustered out in that city; bat when they understand the state of affairs) they will probably be unselfish enough to change their minds. It would, no doubt, be better for the Fourth of July entertainment to have the boys tail up the river and disembark in a body on tbe 2J or 3d of July, but it would be bad for the boys. If they are mustered ont in Portland they get only their monthly pay up to that time. If mustered out in San Fran cisco, each man will get mileage and, in addition, pay and subsistence for tho distance between Portland and San Francisco at the rate of 20 miles per day. This will amount to a little more than $&) for each private and from $100 to $200 each for the officers, or more thao $30,000 for the entire regiment. The boyt could charter tralna in San Francisco, or come up on the steamer at a low rate, and in this way have a few dollars extra to live on until they get settled down to work again, Th Tvachera Entertained. In response to an invitation from the) Misses Roberts, the teacher of tho publio schools gathered at tbe home of Miss Natl Cooper Friday night at 7:30 o'clock, where they were met" by bucks and conveyed to the Roberts home on Dry Hollow, there to enjoy one ol the most entertaining evenings imaginable. The parlors seemed doubly inviting and cheery after the ride out in the bracing; air, and the guests were soon engaged in playing a game of word-building, which was especially amusing at the teachera realized that a word to the wise it not sufficient when one indulges in this game. They also were led to sympathize) with tbelr pupils as tbey were stood on the floor and asked questions. A very pleasant part of tbe evening; wat that wbeu Mrs. Robertt entertained them by displaying her splendid collec tion of curios gathered while at the Caroline Islands, and explained in a very attractive manner tbe experiences of her husband and herself while mis- " sionaries among the native islanders. Her collection of all maimer of curiot ie a valuable one; and interetting, and to hear her tell of life there wat a great treat to her guests. Mrs. Roberts knew what it meant to be deprived of tho blessings of civilization and to be where mail and supplies came to them bat once a year. After listening for some time to her charming recital of experiences, the visitori were served with refreshments, and enjoyed the remainder o' the ever. ing in social converse, returning homo at a late hour.
