During the months of June, July,
Annuel and September the fire com

It had almost befn decided by the

give a rpptiiiiou of the pl tonight;
h.lt durii:g the performance Mr. Levin
received a written request from the au
dience to ar.ncui.ee a repetition, and

hoped they will play to a packed house
tonight as tiie prices have been placed

bumane society in this city, and every
few days our convictions on the subject
ire intensified as we see the cruelty
practiced by that species of being who
dares to call himself man. Only yes
terday our attention was called to the
fact that a poor sick horse bad been
dragged to the beach and left to die. He
lay there all night, and next morning
the neighbors found the poor beast still
alive. Civilized people are always sup
posed to either minister to the wants of
thii, man's beBt friend, or if nothing
nn be done, end his sufferings at once.
Such inhumanity is beyond the ken of
any one with the least spark of human
ity in them. If we have such brutes in
our midst, the officers should see that
they receive punishment which fits the
crime.
Thursday's Dally.
Poitland at last has a mayor, Hon.
W. A. Storey having been elected at
meeting of the council Tuesday night.
Hon, A. S. Blowers filed in the clerk's

This year's encampment of the re
organized Oregon National Guard will
be held at the state fair grounds ir
Salem about July 10th. Biigadier-Gen
eral Beebe and Adjutant-General Tut
tie have made arrangements with the
etate board of agriculture for the use of
the ground?, after a careful examination
of the facilities found there for handling
a large body of men, whirh are believed
to be the best in the state. Ten compa
nies of infantry and one battery will
participate in the encampment, which
will last ten days.
"It never rains, hut it pours" wonld
be applicable to the situation In Th
Dalles as regards entertainments. For
the next month we are to have anv
amount of traveling shows, interspersed
witn numberless home affairs. Beside
the circus which will pitch its tent here
on the 10:h of next month, the bill
boards are today covered with posters
announcing the appearance of Norris
Bros.' Equine and Canine Carnival.
The Portland papers have been speak
ing very favorably of this show, and it
Is no doubt good one.
We are always pleased to note the
progress being made by Dalles boys,
and to find that they are filling posi
tions of trlist in various places where
their lots have been cast. A private
letter received from Ray Logan yester
day tells of his appointment as house
surgeon at St. Vincent's hospital in
Portland. Ray has for some time been
student In the medical department of
the university of Oregon, and it is en
CO traglng to those interested in him to
find that he is making the most of his
opportunities.
A letter from Dr. Siddall tells of his
arrival at Log Cabin, on the dividing
line between the British and American
possessions, where are about fifty
houses, mostly made of cloth. He says
the trip over the railroad is pertectiy
grand. Knowing that the doctor was
from The Dalles and might get lonesome
without a fire, Skagway got up one for
his special benefit the night before he
left. Seven buildings burned and the
loss was about $17,000. Being in the
night it succeeded in unfitting him for
his long trip if nothing else.
Our attention was today called to a
caseot actual wai.t it our city. It is
that of a woman with three children
two toys and a girl who came here
from the Sound expecting to receive
word and assistance from a brother in
Montana. Being disappointed in that
regard she is now In need of help from
some source. They are stopping at the
Cosmopolitan Hotel and we understand
seem to have nothing to eat but potatoes,
and very few of them. Here is an op
portunity for Dalles people to dispense
their charity, which has always been
forthcoming whenever the needy were
found.
Friday's Dally.
Thomas J. Jackson, of Salem, has
been appointed assistant teacher of
Warm Springs Indian school at f5J0 per
annum.
The extreme heat of last week was
tempered by a delightful snow-storm,
Saturday. Condon dudes are ordering
elegant lur overcoats for the Fourth-of-
July. Globe.
For the past ten days Mr. G. W.
Miller, of this city, has been very
dangerously ill ; so much so that his sons
who reside In Goldendale were sum
moned to his bedside. We are pleased,
however, to note that he is now con
sidered some better.
Hood River berries are beginning to
enter the markets, ana ocinre iunu mij
young men and women will be given an
opportunity to make a few dollars pick
ing strawberries. The price this jear
for loose picking will be l ' cents per
pound, and where packed also in me
Id, l.'i to 2 cents.
rrof. Lyman, of Whitman College,
who is to lecture this evening before the
Taino class, arrived en last evening's
train. He will remain in the cily over
Sunday and will gladly give any In
formation concerning the college with
which he Is connected to those who may
contemplate entering that institution.
The evening with German authors
and composers which the ladies of the
Good In tent Society had planned to he
held at the home of Mrs. N. Harris on
the 27th has been postponed until the
31st. Great preparations are teing
made to hay an entertainment which
will be both novel and entertaining.
Pease A Mays teems tu have dis-
"""u "i summer is nere, ana are
prepring to indulge in the ooling
drinks so necessary on hot tuoimer days,
and accordingly Hire root beer to as
sist them in keeping cool. We were not
aware that summer had made its appear
ance, but are just as much obiiged for
half djn bottles of Hire's root beer,
which will no doubt be a pleasant re
minder of the fact.
The most attrraivc thing to the small
boy now seems lobe the bill boards,
which arc loud in tLeir display ef ele-!
phsnts, drgs, horses, acd all torts of
flaring posters calculated to make tho
bjyspUy circus for mouths to come.
Yesterday the advance car for Ringing
Bros, circus, containicg twenty sevrn
men, was in town and they left their
maiks behind them. The circus will be
here on June lOih, and from all we learn
is a good one,
Dr. F. J. Fluno, of Oakland, Calif.,
will arrive 111 the city this evening and
lecture in the court house to night on
Christian Science. The doctor is a
member of the board of lectureship of
Christian Science on this coast, and a
famous Scientist. So few really under
stand the principles as taught by
Scientists, and this will be a good op
portunity to find out what they are
and what they are not. The lecture
will be free. Go and hear Dr. Fluno.
Somehow the report has gained
ered-nce that Mrs. C. J. Stubling will
soon sell out her greeuhouse and go out
of the floral business. Upon inquiry
we find there is no truth iu the state
ment, that she in has such intentions.
Many wiU be pleased to loarn ot the
falseness of the assertion ; not only those
who are regular patrons, but all whom
she 1. as so kindly assisted by loaning
potted plants and palms for various
decorations at public entertainments.
If any class of people on earth deserve
a pleasant vacation trip it is the weary
school teacher, and this year they are to'
have a splendid opportunity in Oregon,
and it does not take a great amount of
money either. State School Superin
tendent Ackerman has received a letter
from General Passenger Agent Mark
bam, of the Southern Pacific, announc
ing that his road will grant a (35 round-
trip rate for the National Educational
Association meeting at Los Angeles for a
party of 100 or over, the tickets to be on
sale July 5 to 0, with the final limit for
return passage fixed at August 15.
From the amount of property which is
changing hands and the number of resi
dences that are being built, it is evident
the people of The Dalles have great
hopes for Its future, and are willing to
invest their money here. Among the
real estate changes being made on the
hill we learn that R. Rorden has pur
chased the Rabine property, now oc
cupied by F. Sampson, C. L. Phillips
has bought the Whittaker property
opposite his store, and having moved
the housb north on the lot will transfer
his building to that side ot Eighth
street; F. H. Wakefield now owns the
old Beczley property on the south side
of Sixth treet and and is moving the
old buildings back and will soon erect a
residence on the site. This will greatly
Improve that portion of the bluff, and
repair buildings which have for some
time been an eye sore to passers-by.

Variety being the spice of life, we must
have a little change once in a while and
what more exciting than a hold up?
Accordingly, we were treated to one last
night.
Frank Murphy, who works for the O.
R. & N. and makes bis ho jie at Jos.
Berger's, started home about 10 o'clock
last night and when he reached the cor
ner of the club building was met by
man who excitedly told him fellow had
had bis foot cut off up the track a ways.'
Not suspecting anything, he followed the
man and when they came near the elec
tric lljiht house two masked men jumped
out and told him to hold up his hands.
Thinking they were joklnst, he attempted
to laugh It off, but was told to obey at
the point of two revolvers, which, of
course.he hastened to do. The man who
accompanied proceeded to investigate
and secured his watch and 43. The
watch they handed back, but, for some
reason, took two letters from his pocket,
presumably to determine who their vic
tim wai, although it was thought the
robbers were aware that the company's
men had been paid off the day before.
As soon as the job was finished they
lit out, and Mr. Murphy hastened to In
form the night-watchman, but though
searching was made at the hobo camp
and elsewhere, no clew has so far been
discovered.

By request of James W. Nesmilh Post,
No. 32, we publish the following general
orders, So. 8. which have ben received
from headquarters at Philadelphia :
"Comrades: In accordance with the
requirements and customs of our order
the senior vicc-co.amander-iu-c!.ief calls
attention to the approaching Memorial
Day, May 30, 1S09, confident that every
comrade of the Grand Army of the Re
public will unite in paving our annual
tribute of flag and flowers to the mem
ory of men who, iu days gone by, fought
for the uuity of the nation, the purity
and truth of the flag, and who atood
ready to yield up their lives to secure to
us as a people the inestimable blessinge
of liberty.
'The year closing with the next Men.
orul Day has added new strength and
power to the nation and new glory to
the flag. The worth and the fame of
the American soldier and sailor has been
gloriously advanced. The achievements
of the "days of the sixties'' st:!l remain,
and have rendered possible the glorious
victories won in the interests of liberty
and humanity. Let us, then, on Mem
orial Day, strew Spring's choicest flowers
in tenderness and love upon the grave
of every defender of the republic, and in
song, story and fitting ceremony recall
the services and unmatched sacrifice of
those w ho, sleeping in the gardens of
the sea or in the bosom of the nation,
their place of sepulchre unmarked and
unknown, gave not only their lives but
their very name for their conntry.
"The men whose memory is perpet
uated by tho loving service of Memorial
Day were part of the greatest comrad
ship the world has ever known. Let us,
who still survive, be so earnest in our
tribute, so pure in our affection, and to
loving in our remembrance of them, that
the lessons of patriotism which we teach
shall find a lodgment in the hearts of all
the people, binding all together In de
votion to flag and country.
"It is enjoined upon every Post that,
in accordance with a custom now firmly
established, they attend divine service
on the Sunday preceding Memorial
Day.
"The Thirteenth National Encamp
ment provided that the reading of Presi
dent Lincoln's address at Gettysburg be
made special feature in all Memorial
Day exercises conducted under the au
spices ot the Grand Army of the
Republic."
Following is a portion of General
Orders, No. 7, from the headquarters at
Portland ;
"In compliance with the rules and
regulations of the order, Memorial Day,
May the thirtieth, will be observed by
the officers and members of nil Posts
throughout the department, in com
memoration of the deeds of our fallen
comrades.
"It is now thirty-one years since this
Memorial Day was Instituted, and dur
ing these long years our ranks have
grown thin and gray, and each succeed
ing Memorial Day we are called on to
visit the new graves of hundreds of our
comrades who have gone before to the
reunion of the Grand Army above.
"Let us, then, on the appointed day,
gather round their last resting places,
and raising above them the dear old flag
they loved so well, strew their graves
with choicest garlands, and renew our
pledges of loyalty to conntry and flag,
and our surviving comrades, especially
those who are in want or suffering from
disease and wounds.
"The clergy of all denominations are
respectfully invited to give one service
on Sunday, May 28, 1899, as a memorial
service, and Post Commanders will,
through their decoration committees,
see that this request be conveyed to
them, and all comrades are urged to at
tend such services."

The demand for these goods is ever on tho increase from
the fact that there is nothing produced that has tho style,
beauty and character that is depicted in a well fitting suit,

feature is in tho fact that these goods do not crush and can
be laundered like a pocket handkerchief, They are found in

the two stripes are combined, making a decidedly novel and

Tha Governor's Action Commended.
At a regular meeting of James W.
Nesmith Post, No. 32, Department of
Oregon, G. A. R., the following resolu
tion was unanimously adopted :
Ketvlted, That the members of this
post do most heartily thank our gover
nor, Hon. T. T. Geer, for his action in
regard to asking for the return of the
Oregon volunteers now in the Philippine
islands. The prominent part taken by
the Oregon regiment in the recent
battles around Manila, entirely refutes
the idea that these brave young men
are not in the right place. We do not
believe for a moment that a single mem
ber of that regiment wishes to shirk his
duty or to return home without the
honor of having been "iu at the death"
of the insurrection.
lleolved, That this resolution be
published in the local papers, and a copy
sent toGov. Geer,
