Tub Chronicle reporter predicts that
in spite of the splendid entertainments
given etch year by the pupils of the
public schools, this year's will be the
crowning one of all. The teachers are
working hard and the pupils doing their

Un't so easy a

man's eyes, and it requires tbe gift of
gao to get a hearing.
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.
Mrs. Harris is a royal hostess,
and assisted by tbe ladies, wil
entertain all who attend the "Even
ing with the German Authors and
Composers" in her happiest manner.
Beside tbe program is to be an excep
tional one, as tbe best talent has con
sented to take part.
C.J. 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.
River readings this morning were as
follows: Lewiston, 12.6; a rise of one
foot and four-tenths. Wenatchee, 19.6;
riseofl.2. Sorthport, 7.4; rise of 1.1.
Umatilla, 13 6; rise of .8. Columbia,
21 feb j a rise of one foot. Pague still
reiterates that on Sunday the river heie
will etand at 27; at Umatilla, 16; at
Portland, 15 feet. 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. Among them was the body of
Will Fields, who died of typhoid fever
on September 3d. His remains will be
sent to Centaur, Mo., where his mother
now resides.
A telegram received by Mr. Houghton
this morning from the Astoria team
which played the Commercial club in
Portland last night, says that four
bowlers and a mascot will arrive on tbe
evening train. The contest will begin
at 8 :30, and the Commercial Club band
will be In attendance. A banquet will
be given our visitors atter the games
are ended. We wish our team as much
success as they had in their recent c
test with the Illihees.
J. T. Neff.pf Hood River, has accepted
tbe principalship of Tbe Dulles High
school. Mr. ebT is one of the most
competent instructors in the state, and
ma sciiooi Doarj ol itie Dalles made no
mistake in making bim principal of
their high st-hool, s school that has
gained a reputation along with the lead
ing institutions of learning in the North
west. Glacier.
This section of Eastern Oregon bas
bee i, visited by fine rains lately and the
chances of a good wheat crop are ma
terially enhanced. Farmers say that
while the cold weather of the past fe
weeks has kept the grain from making
a good showing as it otherwise would
have done, it bas been "making root"
beneath the surface and is now in good
condition for making a wonderful growth
witn ice advent ot better "growing
weather." 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.
CHARLES ROSS BADLY INJURED

Al-
Just so often are we called upon to
chronicle some railroad accident, where
some poor unfortunate has lost bis life,
or some member of his body while dis
charging his duties as a train rpan.
This time it la Charles Ross, man

the road where he bas been employed
for some time. However, of 1 ate be bas

Portland and took tbe place of brake-
man on the work train, which was en
gaged in hauling gravel to fill in the
bridge near Seufert's cannery. This
morning about 11 o'clock when Ross was
walking across the train on some gravel
his aukle turned and losing bis balance
he fell, his left leg falling across the
track and being almost severed a
short distance above the ankle.
He was brought to the city at noon
and the company's physicians, Drs.
Logan ond Doane, dressed the wound as
best they could and he was taken to the
bospitul in Portland, where it is ex
pected the foot will have to be ampu
tated. Mr. Ross is an unmarried man about
30 years of age, and Ins relatives reside
in Portland. He was very brave during
