The great surgeons all now aprea that appendicitis is rarely if ever caused by grape seeds or tht like. They fail in all their operations and autopsies to find any such cause. They attribute the prevalence of the malady now to midden jars. In the suit of Ada Bir.gham against Lipman, Wolfe & Co., at Portland, the jury awarded damages of $2000. Mrs. B nghaui was charged by the lrm with Stealing from (he store. The conduct ol Lipmau& Wolfe in this case will no doubt injure their business to a great extent. A very pleasant diversion from rou tine duties was furnished the ladies of the Degree of Honor this afternoon when there appeared in their lodge room a full grown freezer of ice cream, with the compliments of their A. O. U. W. brothers. The fervor of the reception soon melt d It away. Among the delegates to the grand lodjje, D. of H., is. Mrs. Kate J Young, who is a past grand chief and whoor- gxn'iisd Fern lodge in The Dalies. Mrs. Young has been connected with news paper work for some years past, and to her Thk Ciikoniclb is indebted for a report of tho proceedings of the present session. Among the freight which was brought op by the Regulator yesterday was a large number of kegs of beer. 0;s board the boat was a strong prohibitionist, who evidently deemed the beer as dead ly an enemy as the other article of bier, for at the Cascades ho was noticed sit tine on a large keg, and by way of saving himself from its seductive in fluence whs using n life preserver as a cushion. The members of the Commercial Club have extended the hospitality of the club rooms to the delegates now in our city. This evening a reception will be given to them in the parlors. The ladies of the club are especially re questel ti be present to receive the guests and make the evening pleasant for them. The D. C. & A. C. band will be in attendance to enliven the evening with tome of their choicest selections. Say, are yi u proud of The D.illes roads " youcDnvey the visilors about the city? Don't you wish Union street bad been repaired on the bluff; or those great boulders had been removed from the road leading up from Washington; or that those measly little rocks on brewery grade had been cast into the bottom of ha ..... . - ... to uihi mere would he one decent avenue by which we could reach the beautiful drive on the bluff? Our toads are certainly no recommendation vn account of the large numbtr of visitors who are now in our city and the 'ct that the Umatilla, House where the Grunt party are to be entertained, is al ready filM to overflowing, it was deemed best to induce them to remain Portland another day, and word to that . fTt'ct whs this morning wired to Dr. Grant, and later an answer received that they would make the trip up the Jiver tomorrow.

There were not many of our giria around at tbe early hour they arrived here as they were getting breakfast at home and all The Dalles daisies were out in full bloom. Statesman. That's all right Walla Walla, we know yea kept most of your young ladies in biding when the editors were with you, seeding oily the best looking cut on paiade; but the beauty of your little city recommended itself and tbey were loud in their praises of Walla Waha and its earroundirgs. The Dalles doisiee aie alwavs in full piotm and ready to make a good show ing; but we're not eelfith nor egotistic and don't mean to be regarded in that light. A few days since the business inter ests of the Baldwin Sheep & Land Com pany passed from the ownership of Sum merville, Bre.vman fc Carlwright, tc C. M. Cartwright of Portland, and J. G. Edwards, of Wyoming. The company will be carried on under the same name as formerly, but under different manage ment, and the contracts made by the previous owners will be strictly carried out. The company is widely known throughout tho Northwest and i.as per haps the largest sheep interests in the United States, running about 35,000 or 40,000 head of sheep. They also engage extensively in raising fine sheep, hav ing some of the beet breeds it is possible to obtain. Each year they market in the neighborhood of a half million pounds of wool. All are interested in the welfare of this company and have no doubt but that its interests will fare as well in the hands of its new managers as in tho past. Thiirnduy'g Dully. The flume broke loose near the garri son lust night causing no little excite ment and compelling the workmen to get up and "fight water." During the absence of II. L. Vorse from the city bis place will be filled by L. R. Robertson, of Portland, who e.r rived in the city Tuesday evening. Paul Kreft is confined to his home to day, having suffered a severe attack of stomach trouble last night, from which it was thought for a time he would not recover. Yesterday Dr. Ligan and Geisen- dorffer performed a very critical opera tion on John Burns, son of A. L. Burns, who lives about a mile from the city on Mill creek. Tho troublo was with the tubercular glands, and was a serious one. He stood the operation remarka bly well and is Improving rapidly. W. C. Blalock, of Walla Walla, whose eyesight and hearing have been very poor for the past 32 years, suddenly found himself the other day in full pjsseesion of these faculties. He Is now in his 70th year and cannot account for the restoration of his eyesight and hear in?, which are the equal of those of his youth. His physical condition has much improved since bis good fortune. Last night the members of the grand lodge visited Fern Lodge, of this city, and spent a most delightful time. Two brothers, who are desirous of organizing lodges in their own towns hen they re turn, were initiated into the mysteries, P. G. C. Mrs. Kate Young acting as pre siding officer. Later all adjourned to tho club rooms. Ho was not dead, but dead drunk, when Marshal Hughes found him last night lying on the sidewalk, and when he awoke he was not resting on flowery beds of ease, but on ths cot in the city jail. Before morning be was repentant and Recorder Gates dismissed him to day. And his name was "John Doe." So was his cake dough. "Kissing Bugs Not Wanted Here" were the words the young man read at the gate w here his darling lived in Walla Wulla. Then be walked sadly away, for lie considered that he was an ac complished kissing bug, although not of tho late dangerous kind. He will not return until thai abnoxlous sign is re moved and the girl apologizes. Tourist traffic this year is keeping tlie D. P. & A. N. boats hustling, and almost every day parties are brought to the Cascades. Saturday the Gillespie party will be brought through the locks. On that day the Regulator will leave this city four hours earlier, or at 4 o'clock, going through to Portland, and the Dalles City will leave Portland four hours later. Yesterday Mr. Bolton received a re port from Miss Holmes, of the Business college i" Portland, niving a statement of the work done by Edward Jenkins while in the school. It was flattering indeed, the standing being among the highest made by any pupils in the college. Hie also expressed her dep regret that one who gave such romlso In the work he bad recenuy cnoecn should be so early taken away. Yesterday morning Itev. J. H. Wood and sons, Frank ami Willie, and A. Hall started for a camping trip in the vicinity of Badger lake. They expect to be absent about three weeks. Mr. Wood ha labored assiduously In bis pulpit for some time without a vacation, I except as be was ramiwlM i .i home thronjh sickness in the family, nd he has certainly earned a rest. Judge Mays returned this mrruing from a trip into the Bakeoveu country. Speaking of the crors, he said : "When I went into the country a week ago and looked over the grain I was discouraged and thought it was surely a failure, so parched did it seem ; but on this trip I some hat modified my opinion, and now bel.'eve the situation is not nearly so bad as some report it, although much of the crop will be anything but first class. The weather is some cooler and the nights not nearly so sultry, which had bettered the condition. The con-din- n of the gram is n.uch worso bo yocd Deschutes than this eide." The Commercial Club rooms were well filled with guests last night, a reception being given to the visiting at'iegaies ui our c'ty. Many were sur prised and al! greatly pleased whh the appearance of our club. Tho time was spent by some in bowling and at billiards, while the greater portion im proved the opportunity to meet the club members. The D. C. A A. C. band was stationed in the billiard ball, and we were all proud of the band and the music rendered by them. Truly they have made wonderful progress, under the directioa of Rev. Poling and Mr. Simonton, who now has taken charge. Mistakes will happen in the best regu lated newspapers, and the Ciiuoxicls is not an exception to this rule by any means. And so last night when after printing tbe entire edition, we had the temerity to glance over the paper, we were not a little surprised to read in the report of the prcc38dtngs of the Degree of Honor, that Mrs. Mamie Briggs had spoken in "gloomy" terms regarding something. As a matter of fact it would be an unusual occurrence for that happy and always cheery-dispositioncd lady to look on the gloomy eide of any subject. Therefore, we trust our read ers interpreted us aright and read it "glowing" instead of "gloomy." Geo. D. Evans, tho defaulting Wash ington deputy auditor, last Saturday was sentenced to the penitentiary at Walla Walla for five years. Evans pleaded guilty when his case came up at Olympia Saturday. He hoped by throwing himself on the mercy of the court to get a lighter sentence, but tho judge gave him five years. The assistant attorney general and the prosecuting attorney both asked that a ltlit sentence be im posed in view of the fact that Evans bad j saved the stale the expense of a trial. A letter from J. E. Frost, ex-state auditor, under whom Evans was employed, ask ing that Evans receive mercy, was read in court. FrldHj-'a Dally. Late this afternoon o. L. Young re ceived word that his brother, George, had been accidentally killed near Vic toria. M. T. Nolan has been painting bis store "red," and the effect is not only noticable, but makes a decided improve ment in its appearance. For the past threo days J. B. Croseen has been very ill, suffering intensely from stomach and bowel trouble. He is, however, somewhat improved today. Win. Menefee, w ho has been confined to his home for almost two weeks past with tonsilitis, was able to bo on tbe streets yesterday; but he is looking much the worse fcr wear. Wouldn't it be nice if we only had air ships in which to transport our tourists abjut tho country near us. In that way wo could avoid the rockiness of the roa Is, which would be no small item in our favor. The farmers say this cool weather is all right for the grain and just what we need. We're all farmers when it comes to saying the cooler weather is just w hat we need, and we're glad it's made its appearance. A special meeting will be conducted Saturday night at the Salvation Army hall. Ice cream and cake will be served after meeting. Farewell meeting to Captain and Mrs. Melby Sunday night. Everybody invited. Doug Langille was in town Wednes day. He says travel to Cloud Cap Inn has been very good so far. He has made but two trips to the t p of the mountain, the last party he started wilh played out on him before getting half way up. Glacier. Tbe subject of Dr. Grant's lecture this evening in the First Baptist church will be the novel one, "f-nakes in Paradise." None should miss the opportunity of hearing such n splendid speaker, who has been requested to repeat the lecture given in Portland a few evenings since. Admission this evening will be 25 cents. About nor.n today a special car passed through the city, on board of which was I nliiatri.il Agent Jiidsnn, who is pilot ing Secretary Wilson, of the department of agriculture at Washington, through this section of tho country. They ex pected to stop n half-hour at Seufert's orchanl and will go onto Walla Walla t inight, where the Blalock farm will lie i ispected. Wasco is determined to have n cele bration any way, whether the boys have returned to Oregon or not. Iliey have reached the coast and that is sufficient tocause rejoicing in Sherman county, and so today is a veritable 4th of July In Wasco, whera exercise will be held, eovogwith a dance touigtt. Fred W Wilson leu Tbe Dalles last evrning to deliver the oration, and he will tell them ho- it all happened In his oost eloquent manner. The locks are again in good working order, the water having fallen sufficient ly to admit of the boats passing through. Tomorrow rcorning the Regulator will leave Tbe Dalles at 4 o'clock, making the lonnd trip to Portland and return. The Dalles City will leave Portland foi r hours later than usual and bring tie Gillespie party up to Meiualoose island and back to Portland. Justice of the Peace H. A. Johnson, ol Salem, says that in bii opinion the talk about the volunteers at San Francisco suffering for want of clothing is without foundation iu fact. He says that when he was there last week, tbe boys seemed to be dressed warm enough and if any are not, it is because they prefer to eavo their clothing allowance instead of spending it for overcoats. A report Is current today that smal'. pox has reached Heppner, where there are four cases, two In the city and two too near to be comfortable. A portion of the city is said to be quarantined, but from a report bronabl by some traveling men tbat ' they refused to allow them to stop there, the entire place must be quarantined. We'd just a soon this disease wouldn't come so near home; it isn't just as desirable a visitor as it might be. A USEFUL LIFE ENDED. Mr. Ellaabeth Cat Vtrm at a IClpa Old Age A I'tonaer ICealdeut. Never in its hiotory, perhaps, has The Dalles experienced so many deaths as in the past year; and not alone our city, but the entire state has been bereft of its pioneer citizens, until before many years roll by thoir number will reach the minimum. Tuoiday night about 10:4") tbe reaper whoso name is Death again visited The Dalles and this time his sickle chose cs its prey tne ripened shea! and trom our midst was removed one of the pioneers, Mrs. Elizabeth Ann Cates, wife of John Gates. She was one of those dear old laJies whose presence in a community is always felt, though perhaps its in fluence Is mostly transmitted through other lives which it has brightened. She will be sadly missed by her old-time friends and neighbors, who in the hour of dflliction and need knew just where to find a good, true friend one of those old fashioned kind, devoid of any modern affectation, but who In the full ness of her lore was ever ready with a kind deed and word. Her maiden name was Elizabeth Ann MeConiiii'k, and she was 81 years, 2 months and 17 days old at the time of her death. Her early life was spent in Wisconsin, whore in 1850 she was married to George Frye Herbtrt, and with him came to Oregon in 1850, crossing the plains in tho party of which Wm. Laughlin, father of B. F., was a member. Tbey first settled in The Dalles, living at the gariison. Later they moved to Lane county, and from there came to 15-Mile in 1856. There Mr. Herbert died thirty-one years ago last February, She was a widow for five years and a half, when in August, 1873, Biie married John Cates. Together they moved to The Dalles in the following year, and have since dwelt in our midst. To Mr. and Mrs. Herbert were born eleven children, all of which died in early life except Mrs. Jane Sherar, wife of J. II. Sherar, and Geo. A. Herbert, who are still living. Several step chil dren also mourn her loss. Into her life came many sorrows in termingled with the j-iys; but for a num ber of years past she has lived a quiet, happy life with her husband, who will now find life extremely lonely. Ten days ago she experienced severe pain about the region of the heart, which, however, left her and she again re sumed tier little home duties until Tues day morning when she was again taken ill and continued to grow worse n.itil the end came. Lait Tribute to Kilward .leoklua. Tuesday eveningat 60'cUck the friends of tho late Edward Jenkins gathered at tho homo of bis uncle, Simeon Bolton, to pay the last tribute to his memory, and listened intently to the words of Rev. Wood, who told of the life of the deceased of his early teachings, which, although his parents bad been called away while he was yet n child, had told on iiia life and borne fruitage to salva tion os ho neared the end of a com paratively short life. Of how ho bad become reconciled to death and, while suffering intensely bus left messages for each one about his bedxide and luanv friends in The Dalles, which were en couraging to those who now moinn. Mr. Wood chose as tho basis of iiia remarks these words: "So teach us to number on' days that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom." The choir sang "Softly Now the Light of Day," "Jesus Lover of Mv Soul" and Nearer My God to Thee," the last two of which ho attempted to sing when on his death bed. The pall bearers, Ned Gates, Forest and Ralph Fisher, Frank Wood, Arthur Miibiing and tutor r-ctimldt, were chosen from among his most Intimate friends and classmates.

Th Grant Kxouritnn 1'arty In Mlilut-What They Are Beelnc. Friday' Dully. Unfortunately yesterday was an ex tremely windy day for an excursion paity to come up the river, where the force of every breeze is intensified. However, the Grant partv, numbering twenty four, enjiyed the trip up as only those can who are out for the purpose of see ing everything and making the moct of the privilege afforded to view perhaps the grandest scenery they will en counter 'on their visit to tho West, or in any other section of the country for that matter. Nothing escaped their notice, and all day long they wero moro than enthusiastic over the wonderful things they beheld. In mentioning the names of the party in yesterday's issue, that of Miss Annie Grant was omitted. Colonel Hawkins, of Portland, who is thoroughly conver sant with every t bin j relating to Oregon, also joined them on the trip to Tie Dalles and is assisting in entertainii g them. Thi9 morning, in comoany with O. D. Taylor, Hugh Gourley, Mrs. C. J. Cran d.ill, Alma, Anna, D.ivton and Burn sida Taylor, they were taken in carriages to the bills above the city, where they will be given an idea of the fishing in dustry and taken through the cannery. They will al visit II. e Senfert pluce and taste somo of the luscious fruit raised there. It is the intention to crots the river ami view the picture rocks on the Washington side. This afternoon a trip was mado to the orchards on Dry Hollow and up Mill creek. Tho warehouses here will also be visited, nnd a drive taken about the city. So that no stone will be left un turned to show them all tho points of interest and tell them of our resources. Their eyes are being opened to just what the West really is, and It is said tin prise find wonder aie depicted on their countenances as they reali.e that the West is also God's country and the favored one at that. They will leave tomorrow morning having seen a great deal they never dreamed of, and will be ready to tell others, as the old fellow said "what they seen and heerd."

"Men are scarce." This is the cry at last among employers of Oregon as tbey try to find men willing to work oa farms, in mines, or logging camps, or on the railroads. All these avennea of employment are now open to laboring men, who have quit coming forward to accept tbe positions offered. Wages ars better than they have been for five years, but, when the men are not in the country, wages cut no figure. "We axe offering $2 a day," a railroad contiactor said yesterday, "but that don't do any good. If we were offering 50 cents a day or 3 a day, the condition would be the same, ihe working men are ail at work, and the hobos don't care what t -e wages are."
