The teachers are working hard and the pupils doing their beat, so we may expect a treat. Lee Moorehouse, Pendleton's leading amateur photographer, who is making sac') a fine collection cf Indian pictures and siso local scenery, came Gown from Pendleton yesterday and spent today hers.

The board of directors of our public schools have appointed Prof. T. J. Sett as principal of the schools, to fill the place vacated by Prof Landers who has accepted the supenntendeccy. In do iug so, they have chosen well, jndginu from tbe splendid record wh'ch he bears as an educator. He is a graduate of Ann Arbor, and just before coming to this coast he was principal of a high school in Turner, 111., one of the suburbs of Chicago. For the past fow years he has been connected with the Hood River schools, where he has given entire satis faction. We bespeak for our schools much success under the nsw adminis tration of Profs. Landers and NerT. Howtver, if thev are as successful as during the years since Prof. Gavin took charge no more could be asked. Considering it his doty as president Of The Dalles d igs to.welcoue any visiting canines to our city, and extend to thrm tbe key of the city, upon noticing a fine lot of these animals coming up Second street last evening, "Billy MjiKluley," Mays A Crowe's beautiful animal, pranced out with all the pomposity Imaginable to give them the glad bark. But alas! poor McKinley tell among thieves and bis wool was in danger of needing protection, for he struck a free trade gang and it was a case of sixteen to one for a few moments thereabouts. As is usual with that persuasion, thev mistook his good intentions for hostility and thinking the show was all up unless they fought, they proceeded to whip him. But Billy's friends came to hi protection, ana soon tne enemy was routed and his eupremacy declared. It takes a pretty tricky dog to do up McKinley. Thursday's Daily. F. II. Wakefield is building a neat little residence on the hill near the old fair grounds, which will be occupied by Assessor Whipple. A recent advertisement in an Irish paper announced that Mr. So-and-so ex traded teeth with great pain. What's the matter with The Dalles when from one warehouse in the city is shipped to the interior 200,000 pounds of freight in two days? She's all right. "nearest," she murmured, "l in bo afraid you'll change." "Darling," he answered; "you'll neyer find any change about me." Which was painfully true in a double sense. You can aid in swelling the monu ment fund by taking advantage of tbe cheap rates offered to Portland on the 30tb, and spend a few days pleasantly at tending the exercises being prepared by tbe committee there for your entertain ment. Souder's elephant brass band, which is one of the features of Ringling Bros.' iamous big circus this year is musical organization composed entirely of elephants. It is one of tbe biggeet hits of the season. Messrs. J. W., D. M. and Smith French lift for Hood River this morning. We learn that they are contemplating doing away with steam and utilizing water power from Hood river in gener ating electricity for the electric light plant. Ringling Brothers' zoological collection is the finest display of rare and costly wild animals in tbe United States. Tbe massively carved golden cages in which the animals are exhibited are tbe roost elaborate and expensive eyer constructed.

Van Dujn telephoned in today and said they were having some of the finest showers Tygh valley has ever ex perienced. He says if present con ditions continue they'll be short of room in which to store their crops. Charlie always looks on tbe bright side, and he has ample reason this year. A dispatch from Manila yesterday says that the Oregon boys are returning there from the front. A statement has been prepared which shows the number of deaths which have occurred tn the army since the beginning of war with Spain as follows: In Cuba, 1399; in Porto Rico, 287, In Honolulu, 45 ; in the Philippines, 006; in the United States, 3872. Total, 6209. The Dalles had somewhat the ap pearance of a reservation yesterday, Indians by the wholesale lining the streets and holding np the corners. List night two big "tyhees" thought they'd have a little circus of their own, and of course the swallowing of fire water was oiie of the principal feats, and as a natural consequence a few hours later the "akookuiu house" had swallowed them. This morning they were brought before the reorder and the city treasury swallowed III of their hard earned "chickamtin." At about 1 :30 this afternoon a special passed through the city bearing the Fonrth cavalry, composed cf seventy eight men under Major Morton, who have been stationed at Walla Walla for the past seven months and are now on their way to the Presidio at San Fran cisco, and from there to Manila. Among them was Homer Barnett, a halt broiler of X. M. Eastwood, whom be bad not seen for several years and was delighted to meet at the depot. The young man was much pleased at the prospect of reaching Manila ere long, and said be had been anxiona to be there ever iince fighting began. Reports again are rife that the Oregon Railway and Navigation couv,iny is to put on another train from Portland to Huntington, connecting with the new Short Line train. In case this is done the long desired throngh car service for Spokane will probably be secured, al lowing passengers to and from Spokane to make connections without having to change cars at night.

In the year 1894 on May 24tb, the river at this placa stood 18.8 higher than it stood yesterday. From Dr. Hollister who visited Dr, Frazier while in Oakland, we learn that the latter is more than pleased with his new home, and is building up a large practice there. He has secured the patronage of the Berkeley college students. Mr. C. W. Phelps who re cently moved there from this place is not quite so enthusiastic over Oakland, he having beon ill most of the time since he arrived there, and is planning to re turn to Oregon. This morning the grand jury brought in a finding of not a true bill in tbe case ot the State vs. F. K. Spicer, charged with killing W. D. Jones about two months ago in Antelope. Most of the witnesses who were subfa-niei from that place returned today. The much heralded case against Receiver Otis Patterson was not even taken up, in the senee of an investigation, it being considered too trivial, and was therefore dismissed. Tbe circuit court this term was short lived, coming to an end this afternoon, when the juries were dis charged at about 3 o'clock. This was an exceptional term, not a single in dictment being brought in by the grand jury, nor civil case tried. Jailer Fits Gerald is now contemplating advertis ing for boarders, as bis hoBtelry is now vacated. Friday's Dally. It would seem that the cattle from a thousand bills had been turned in Salt marshe stock yards today, a large band being fed there this afternoon awaiting shipment. Last night tbe High school graduating class was entertained by Miss Carrie Butler, who, had she continued, her studies here, would have been a mem- Lber of the claes. Tbe evening was passed most pleasantly. The Regulator will leave ber wharf at 8 o'clock Sunday morning for Hood River with the ball team and a large number of excursionists who will spend the day in that town. Returning, will leav! Hood River at 5 p. in. Tickets 50 cents. . And now Pague says the river will stand at 23 by Sunday at this place and and at 30 Tuesday, and there is enough of a raise in the upper rivers to warrant the prediction. The weather, however, is cooler above, which will tell on tbe rivers after that time. Tbe case of Emma Sparling vs. Henry Sparling, for divorce, was heard in tbe circuit court before Judge Bradshaw yesterday afternoon and tbe plaintiff was granted a decree of divorce on the ground of cruel and inhuman treatment. Ned Gates appeared for the plaintiff. Superintendent Gilbert bas just re turned from a visit to schools in the districts of Liberty, Center Ridge, Sura- nit, Fairfield, Five Mile and Eight Mile. He found them all In flourishing condi tions, under tbe charge of the best of teachers. This morning Mr. Gilmore, who has been ill in this city for some months past, was taken to his home at Center ville. Mr. F. W. Crofton came over from that place yesterday and accom panied him over, he being taken in a closed hack and made as comfortable as possible. From Dr. Logan, who accompanied Chas. Ross to Portland, we leain that he stood the trip remarkably well, and was taken to St. Vincent's hospital, where Dr. McKenzle, assisted by Dr. Logan, amputated the crushed feat about midway between the ankle and knee. He bore the operation bravely and is getting along splendidly. The remains of eighteen soldiers who died in the Philippines were landed yesterday at San Francisco from the transport Sheridan, and will be sent for burial wherever relatives or friends mny desire.

Coudon Globe. A large number of excursionists will spend next Sunday in Hood River, and a more desirable place could not easily be selected. Many who are posessers of kodaks will profit by the splendid op portuuity ottered to secure l umerous snap-shoU; while bicycle rid:rs and those who enjoy driving will have a chance to take a ride over tbe finest roads in the state. The river ride on the favorite steamer, the Regulator, is well worth the price of the tickets, which is but 50 cents. None can afford to miss the game between our team and the picked nine of Hood River. Tickets are now on sale at the drug stores and other business houses, and at the wharf on Sunday morning. Word was received early this morning from Portland telling of the death of Reta, the youngest child of Mr. and Mrs. Polk Mays. Several months ago their three children were afflicted with typhoid fever in very bad form, and Reta, who was about 5 years of age, seeming to gain no strength wben tbe fever left her, it was thought best to take her to tbe hospital in Portland, and Mrs. Mays took ber down about three weeks ago. However, she was not benefited thereby and died last night about midnight. Her remains will be brought to this city tomorrow for burial. Much sympathy is expressed for the be reaved parents, who since their arrival in this city last fall have had sickness In the family continually, and are now called upon to give op the pet of the household. It seems that everything at Atlin is not what it was purported to be, and business is at a standstill. The miners are growing disgusted at the manner in which the Canadian government runs things, and on account of the on. certainty ot the laws Americans are afraid to put in any money, for there is no telling what will be done. A letter from Mr. Butler this morning says that on the day the letter was written, May 4th, the thermometer stood at 10 above, while along some of the creeks the ground was frozen 8 feet deep and no work could be done. He says that only one man out of a hundred will get his money hack. The trails are in very Dad condition and the mail which came out that day was supposed to be tbe last until the steamers run next month A gentleman coming out recently, said that all the way out he saw much sick ness. The men are compelled to eat snow to quench their thirst, and this soon leads to cold and pneumonia. The best way to go to Atlin seems to be to stay at home.
