and magnificent success, and his friends
looked on him as a veritable Isaac

It is a great satisfaction to everyone
to hear the opinion so generally ex
pressed that the "back bone" of the an
ticipated flood for 1899 ia broken, and to
have the report say that the river will
not rxceed 41 at this place. This
morning It stood at 43, a rise of only .4
In the past twenty-four hours, and it
fell .2 from 8 till 3 o'clock. At
Lewislon it fell 1.9, and at Umatilla .2.
The weather has a little to eay regarding
the flood, but it ia almost a certainty
that we will not wade very deep this
year.
The state normal school school at
Monmouth announces a new depart
ment, that of manual training in addi
tion to the departments of last year. It
has also added to its training depart
ment an ungraded school, to give prac

The training department is now per
haps the most complete in the United

facilities for work, and this next year
promises to be the best the school has
known. The catalogue shows a marked

The smallpox scare which has kept
the people of Walla Walla in a ferment
two weeks baa not abated. The doctors

11 the patienta have had mild attacks.
There are six patienta at the festhouse,
and several persons are quarantined at
various places in the city. Special pre
cautions are being taken to prevent in
fected persons fiom the railroad camp on
Snake river from reaching that city.
Tho river continues to fall sightly,
standing at 42.1 this niorninn. The

would have been particularly unfortu
nate, since so many improvements have
been made in the business t.ortion of
the city recently. In 1S91, whllo it was
a great loss, everything was older and
in need of repairs.
Did we bear someone bewailing the
late of The Dalles, and prophesying all
sorts of calamity for the future? It may
seem dull to those who are not on thii
inside track and do not know just how
much busiuess is being done here. If
for once a newspaper had not been
sworn to secrecy we could a tale unfold
regarding the business of one firm here
that would make its readers' eyes pop.
The Dalles is all right ; don't let its wel
fare cause you auy uneasiness.

When the 700 soldier boys meet in
Portland to go in camp and also to wcl
come their comrades home from the fray,
not the least attractive among the com
panies will be Co. D. of The Dalles,
whose new uniforms have arrived and
which will make a showing of brave,
stalwart soldiers who will certainly de
mand recognition from all. Among
them are men who have brothers in the
ranks who have won honors iu the con
flict, and we have every reason to be
lieve would make as good records under
similar circumstances. Theciptain has
shown a heroism which deserves as
much praise as could any who marched
to Mar.ila to face the foe. At home
were mother, brothers and sistera who,
left fatherless, must have some protect
ing hand to guide and watch over them.
While his brother Max, has received
honors on the battlefield, he who fights
on the battlefield of life protecting those
he loves surely deserves equal honor.
There are others in the company who
were placed in like circumstances, and
we say all honor to the boys of Co. D.
A Successful Repetition.
If possible, the repetition of the
minstrel performance on last evening
was an improvement over the first night.
Certain it is, it sulTdred nothing by the
repetition, and was as much enjoyed,
even by those who had witnessed it the
evening before. The j ikes of the end
men (t) were perhaps an improvement
over the first night, although The
Chronicle was slandered by having
a sample of its spring poetry rehearsed
for the amizement of the audience, and
we were made to hear ourselves as
others bear us. Unlike a second per
formance generally is, the participants
seemed to be as energetic, if not more
so, than on the previous evening.
The addition of the sinking and danc
ing. by little Jennie Mouser, of San Fran
cisco, was worth the price of admission.
She is a dear little girl about 7 years of
age, and her voice ia remarkable, show
ing a training which Is wonderful in one
of her years. Her dancing is perfect,
and she glides over the stage with the
graca of little fairy. She was re
peatedly encored, and seemed perfectly
at home on the stage. The cake walk
between her and tho little son of Mrs.
Runcie was very cunning and they were
encored loudly.
We cannot refrain from mentioning
tlio excellent playing of tho orchestra

Aa soon as tho Columbia river begins
to do the backing ait and makes its ap
pearance in the alley betweeu First and
Second streets, people begin to get ex
cited, aud all aorta ol high water etoriea
are rife. Iet evening about 5 o'clock it

While only conjectures can be made
the weather holding the situation in its
own hands, people generally do not an
ticipate an unusual height this year, as
the cooler weather now prevading will
certainly have the desired effect, al
though the report says warmer from
tonight. Tho upper rivers will become
stationary after Friday, the Snake (all
ing slightly tomoirow. Tho Columbia
will riee until tomoirow night, when it
will stand at 44, The report also says it
is thought that will be the maximum

LAST LETTER FROM MANILA
Showing- What a Prominent Part the
Second Oregon Has Taken In the
Battle.
Although the boys are now on their
way home, and can soon tell us "how it
all happened," it will not be amiss to
publieh the following letter received a
few days since by Mrs. S. L. Armstrong
from her eon, A. A. Bonner :
Moronco, April 30, 1899.
Dear Mother: I have not wiltten to
you for some time, as we are not near
Manila now. We are fighting in the in
terior and have no regular service to
these parts. For the last ton days we
have been marching and fighting every
davbutone. It is a regular guerrilla
war. We have captured four towns in
that time, and have one more in these
parts to take. It is San Miguel, twenty-
five miles north of here, ami that will
probably end the war. Three of we
boys havo been in every fight and march
that the company has been in, aud have
not received a scratch or been sick a
day eiuce we first went out. We are
now in the first brigade, third division,
composed of the I3th Minn., fourth
cavalry, sixth artillery, and Second
Oregon, under the command of Col.
Summers. We have marched over one
hundred miles, forded five rivers, fought
the enemy everyw here that they made
a stand, and have lost less thai: a dozen
men. Well, I hope this war will soon
be over and we can return home, as it is
just one year ago today that we left The
Dalles to enlist.
Polag, May 8, 1899.
We are now camped here for a few
days. All are well. Havo had several
fights lately. We pick up many things
here that would be valuable souvenirs,
but cannot take care of them, as a
soldier's pack in tho field is not a vry
light article. It is not very often that
we get a chance to write, as we nre in
the interior of tho island and have no
opportunity to tend mail out. I sou by
lhe papers that the authorities at Wash
iiigtuii claim that the volunteers want to
stay In the service. It is one of the
biggeirt lies ever ir.vented, and on fxcuse
to keep us here. But if it were not for
the volunteers here, tho regulars could
d nothiti, as most of tliein are green
boy a from t lie Eastern cities who never
handled a gun.
It ia very hot here, nnd wo have a

In an Ohio county a man named
Miller married a widow who had a
grown-up daughter. His father fell in
love wi'h the stepdaughter. The father
became the son's eon-in-law and the
stepdaughter became his mother. Re
cently the son's wife had a child. The
child was Miller's father's brother-in-law
and Miller's own uncle, for bo was a
brother of Ids stepdaughter. Miller's
fat bet's wife, his stepmother also had
son, who was, of course, Miller's

people Armstrong had been camping
with. Constable dinger at orce took
charge of the campers and on June 14th
moved them into the grove next to the
old graveyard on Paradise farm, jnst
