The D.illes Chronicle bad an excellent

week. The Chronicle is up to date and
a credit to the town. Graea Valley

When a man divides all his property
among his children and looks to them

Col. Robert Ingersoll died at his ho re
in Dobbs Ferry, N. Y., yesterday after
noon, and thus passes another of the
brightest minds of the age. . Although
we may not agree with the doctrine lie
advocated, none can but acknowledge
him oneof the ablest men of the age.
Register J. P. Lucas has not been do
ing a 1 h il l office business for the past
two days, for he is unfortunately among
the number who are now suffering from
the much prevalent stomach trouble,
which see in a to have gotten tho best of
eo many of our citizens during the past
few weeks.
Portland is the scene of another mur
der. Clara Fitch, a girl eighteen years
of age, was found dead shortly before
5 o'clock Thursday afternoon in Cycle
Park, near Irviiigtoi'. Indications point
to strangulation as thecause of her death
and Frank McDauiel, a truck driver,
was arrested on charge of murdering
.tlie girl.
A dispatch from the presidio says the
hoys are getting homesick, and a yonng
lady, "not a sister in the happy days
xone by," who no doubt is a little
jealous, says they have faced enough
powder at the Philippines and don't
care to encounter it on the faces of
California's belles, who are noted for
using it lavishly.
G. C. and Mrs. Blakeley returned
last night from Brownsville, where thry
ent to attend a reunion of the Blakeley
family. A sister of Mr. Blakeley from
Montana is visiting her father, and the
brothers and sisters all gathered there
to meet her. It was a pleasant meeting
not soon to be forgotten, for some of the
brothers had not een their sister for
over twenty years.

People need have no hesitancy in
coming to Heppner on account of the
emallpox scare. C. E. Driskell's family
are the only ones affected and their
house is thoroughly quarantined and
the patients are . doing nicely. The
greatest precaution is being exercised to
prevent it from spreading, and under
the efficient treatment of Drs. McSwords
and McFaul it is hardly probable that
the disease can get any headway.
Times.
Judging from the documents we have
been receiving of late, The Dalles is soon
to have a visit from the Shaw Company,
a dramatic company numbering twenty
three persons, and including an or
chestra of eight musicians. This com
pany visited Salem last June, and the
Capital Journal speaks well of their
performance. How soon J they are to
play in our city we have not yet learned,
and can only eay to our readers, as their
advance sheets say to us, "Look out for
them; they're on the way."
W. E. Simon ton has recently been
elected leader of the D. C. A A. C. band.
Previous to that time Rev. Poling acted
as leader, and very ably, too; but
only with tiie understanding that
at the first opportunity be would be
released' from duty. Mr. Simonton
is a first-class leader, having had years
of experience in that line, and they are
foitunate in securing bis services. Our
band has displayed remarkable abil
ity aud will soon play to "beat the
band" that is all other bauds in the
state.
Something is responsible for the
amount of sickness prevalent in our city
at present. Many are asking "Ij it the
water?" and some have suggested that
ie reservoir be drained every day or so,
thus assisting in giving us a purer sup
ply. Whether this Is practicable we
cannot say. No doubt our water com
missioners are doing their duty In the
matter and if there is anvthlng wrong
will rectify it to the best of their
ability. One thing is certain and that
is that eels are not the best kind of in
habitants for city w ater pipes.
Asia usual with a l.cttire in The
Dalles, but about a half-boose was pre
sent to listen to Roland Grant at the
rUniint church last ninht. Those who
had the good taste to attend felt, how
ever more than repaid, for he is no doubt
an able speaker. Ilia Bubjct was
'Snakes in Paradise,' to which he likened
the petty or real difficulties which come
to ns in life, marring the Eden and mak
ing it a desert. It Is within the power
of all to make it "bloom and blossom like
the rose" if we only so choose. In his
most attractive manner he handled bis
subject urging upon his hearers the
desirability of driving out the snakes by
smiling iDstead of frowning our way
through life and doing our best to make
others happy.
For the past few days Joe Cam, known
by all as simply "Joe," has been ailing,
and Joe Stadelman, at whose place he
has been stopping, seeing be was getting
worse, sent for a physician yesterduy
afternoon ; but hia case was pronounced
a hopeless one, he having been a hard
drinker for years, and this spree proved
too much for him. He was a sheep
herder by occupation and for some
months past has been working out at
Wamic, but occasionally came in town
to spend his money and have a good
time. At such times he would stop at
Stadelmau's, for whom he worked for
three vears some time since, and who
was always kind to him. This time be
waa taken ill, and In his condition noth

hisoarnlngs in drink and having nothing
left to pay tho funeral expenses

With the passing of the theater hat,
the church hat, and now tho street hat,
thank heavens the old j ke about the
"spring bonnet," which Is nld to be
such a bug bear to every husband, must
of necossity be a thing of the past. The
latest reports from the K"t and South
tay that not only the women, but the
men also, have ceased wearing hats. In
this, as In other matters of fashion, the
men have the best of the bargain, for

and while the milliner may step down
and out, the bair dresser will "bob up
serenely" to claim a double fee for her
work. Wonder if this won't be the
(signal for a revision of the snatching
bald-headed business, and the -husband
be trving it on his more expensive half.
It will th-n be a touch of some one else
than Nature that "makes the whole

Yesterday afternoon Sydney Young
received a telegraph meBsago from Vic
toria, B. O, which simply said that
his brother, George W. Young, had been
8icidentally killed that morning, and
that he body would be in Victoria last
night. After telephoning to his mother
in Portland and sister at Vancouver to
determine their wishes, Mr. Young
telegraphed to have the body sent to
The Dalles for burial by the sido of bis
father and sister. George has been
working in the offices and on the rail
road leading from Victoria to Nanaiifio,
and was probably killed while working
on the train. It has been seven years
since he vieited this city, but his boy
hood days were spent here, and he is
well known to Dallesites of former
years, who will learn of his death with
regret. He was about 39 years of age.
Sydney has" had no return message from
Victoria regarding the shipment of the
body.
To many who were early residenters
in The Dalles, it seemed like old times
this morning when a ten-horse team was
teen to wend its way through our streets,
drawing after them three large freight
wagons loaded to the guards with 10,-
000 pounds of supplies. The team be
longed to T. J. La Brie, who is return
ing to his home at Summer Lake in
Southern Oregon. He reached here
three days ago, with his wagon loaded
with wool, having made the 225 miles
in ten days. Disposing of his load he
has been purchasing supplies, and
started this morning on his homeward
way. Hal French took a snap shot of
the outfit, for Mr. La Brie Is proud of
his horses, which are all fine looking
animals. A number of Southern Ore
gon wool men come to this city every
year, but Mr. La Brie is perhaps the
only one who comes from as far south
as Summer Lake. He says The Dalles
is the best market he finds.
Last evening John Parrot returned
from a trip through Klickitat county and
he says the grain never looked better in
that section ; that it lias not been in
jured to an extent worth mentioning,
At one place three miles this side of
Conterville, which is presumably the
Moran place, he was told that the 125
acres would yield forty-five bushels to
the acre, aud a large percentage in the
Spring creek region will produce forty
bushels to the acre. He made a trip
through Sherman county last week and
out in the Wamic section. At the latter
place crops seem to be all right, while
on Juniper Flat the crops will be short,
but the grain will be of a fine quality.
In the southern portion of Sherman
county much damage has been done,
aud when riding through there one day
when the themometer was 114 in the
shade and the hot winds were blowing,
Mr. Parrot was not surprised that such
was tho case. Lower 15-Mile seems to
have suffered more than any portion of
the country near here, and much damage
has been done.

Among the names of those who were

Allaway, of this city.
Mrs, Eliza Young arrived in tlie city
last night from Portland and will re
main until after the arrival and burial
of her son's body, which was shipped
from Victoria Saturday and will prob
ably reach here tonight.
This morning Deputy Cletk Bolton
issued a marriage license to Lewis M.
Covev and Anna L Brizendine of Boyd.
As the prospective groom Is 47 years of
ago and his bride-to-be 21, it is a case
here December will marry young May.

there, except to saw wood, and the only
time he would make bis appearance
thereabouts was when ho got broke and
needed assistance. Mr. Stadleman was
not aware that he was about the farm
last week until the farm hands told him
a tramp was sick out near the barn and
when h went out to attend to his
wants found it was Cam.
Tho Regulator, which made the round
trip Saturday, did not reach the dock
nere uniu i a. in. yesterday morning;
but so delightful was the moonlight on
the river that not a dissenting voice waa
heard. An abundance of wav-freiirht
was the cause of the delay.
Sam Jones may be all right in the
effete East or among the fastidious
Southerners; but when he comes among
the "wild aud woolly" Westerners, he
isn't quite so well appreciated ; in fact
the "wild and woolly" do not appreciate
his Clarences' and are too refined to
care to have n secand visit from the
great (?) Jones.
News came from Heppner by 'phoDe
today that E. M. Shutt, editor of the
Heppner Times, is a victim of the
smallpox, and is in a serious condition.
While the entire town is not quaran
tined, tho individual cases are, and
every effort is being made to prevent
its soread. A number of Dallesites are
taking precautionary measures by be
ing vaccinated.
A lady was heard to temark this morn
ing that she had just bought a new pair
of shoes and the first time she wore them
they hit the nail on the head and suffered
the consequences. Now she declares
she wou't buy another until tie
nails are driven down in the sidewalks.
It may be all right for women to go with
out hats, but when it comes to going
barefooted, that's another question.
Hadn't we better annihilate the nails?
Saturday evening A. L. Gude, S.
Nutting, Vic Schmidt and Gus Bonn
started out on a fishing expedition, and
yesterday morning when they discovered
themselves were on the banks of the
Little Klickitat river, near the soda
springs. Here they made camp and
spent the day angling. They report fish
ing good, but said nothing about catch
ing. As the proof of the fish is in eating
it, the Chronicle reporter cannot say
as to the catch.
Saturday the Gillespie party, number
ing eighty-two tourists, came up from
Portland almost to Hood River, on the
Dalles City. They are from Pennsylvania
and came through New Mexico to Los
Angeles, and yet they declared the day
on the Columbia the red letter day of
their trip. The boat was stopped at
Multnomah Falls and with the assist
ance of Agent Allawav and Mrs. and
Mrs. B. S. Huntington, who happened
to be on board, they missed Dothing
along the river which would be of inter
est to them.
There are at present eleven families
from The Dalles camping at Cascades,
enj ylng the cool atmosphere and drink
iug the clear cool water theie which It
said to be exceptionally good. Thursday
afturnoon and evening it rained slightly
but not enough to annoy them much.
Among those who went down yesterday
to spend the day were W. II. Wilson, C.
E. Dawson, J. C. Hostetler, Dr. SanJert,
W. H. Ilohsc n, Jas. Ireland, Bert Bald
win, Leon Dawson, Dr. Belle Rinehart,
Miss Dawson and Clara Sampson.
At the invitation of Miss Edie Fisher,
about thirty young people spent the day
yesterday at the farm of Fred Fisher,
five miles from the city. They were
ehaperot.ed by Mr. and Mrs. Fisher, who,
being as lively as any of their guests,
saw that all had a good time. The shade
of the large trees was greatly appreciated
and the day was passed pleasantly but
quietly beneath their protection. Lunch
was spread on u largo table w hich bad
been improvised, and but a few scraps
remaiued to tell the taltt of well-filled
baskets. They returned in the cool of
the evening, and at the invitation of
Carey Ballard, made their way to his he
cream parlors, where the ico cream soda
soon disappeared nt a rapid gait.
