LOCAL BREVITIES.
Wednesday'! Dally.
F. C. Sexton has Bold Lis feed yard io
the Eist End to Chaa. Payette, of Cen
terville, who took possession yesterday.
We understand that S. Wilkinson has
purchased the I.nsher property on
Fourth 6treet. This is a very desirable
piece of property and when the house is
all renovated ana improved, u will
nuke a very pretty home.
One of the leading orchardiets of our
city was heard to question a young
gentleman today concerning what com
bination of fruit he thought best. The
jonng man, who is known to be a
masher, quickly answered "I prefer a
date with a 'peach.' "
Riubard Barter, or "Pretty Dick," as
be was always known in The Dalles, has
again been appointed a patrolman in
Portland. He seems to be a favorite as
a policeman, having filled that place
very satisfactorily for a number of years
before.
W. J. Roberts is down from Pullman
and will spend a few dys In the city on
business connected with the proposed
sewer system, and to consult with Judge
Bennett, who ha9 been engaged as at
torney. Soon the property will be taxsd
and the new sewer system bfe a sure go.
Lieutenant Lewis, who is in our city
for the purpose of obtaining recruits for
the 3oth regiment, U. 6. Volunteers,
has bad many applicants, some of whom
be was compelled to refuse. Eight were
examined this afternoon, and are now
anxious to know whether they passed.
The lieutenant attended the drill of
company D last night.
The Columbia Southern Railway Com
pany has appealed to the supreme court
from the judgment rendered in Judge
Sears' court, May 2, 1899, in favor of S.
W. AUlrich for about (4000. The suit
was to recover on acontract for building
road, and the defendants concede that
about (2000 of the amount sued for is
due.
Next Mon lay evening the Georgia
Minstrels w ill make their first appear
ance in the city at the Vogt. This is
not the same company which visited
The Dalles some time since. It is com
posed of colored people, who are noted
for their harmonious singing. The way
they sing the old Southern melodies is
said to win them great favor. Ten
comedians help pass the evening.
W. P.Clayton, of Provo, Utah, J. G.
Workman and VV. L. Flint, of Parker,
Idaho, and A. T. Flinders, of Ogden,
Utah, are Morman elders, who have
been Jin the city for seyeral days
making arrangements to hold meetings
here. With the consent of the mayor
they will hold services on the corner of
Second aud Washington streets each
evening, presumably commencing to
morrow night.
It is again Salem vs. Portland. This
time it Is a question of receiving the
returning soldier boys. Silem people
are planning to raise money to assist in
bringing them to the capital city, where
a big reception would be given them
and the expenses of the boys whose
homes are in Southern Oregon paid to
return thither. This will no doubt wake
Portland up and renewed efforts along
that line be commenced.
Gov. T. T. Geer. has received a letter
'rom Brigadier-General Row, of New
Vork slate, Inviting the Oregon National
uuard and Naval Militia to attend the
reception to Admiral George Dewey,
npou his arrival in New York about
October 1st, and participle in the
paraue on that occasion. At the ex
pense of transportation etc. is to be
borne by the state, it is not likely that
the militia will be ordered to go to New
lork.
The Oregonian lays that if this
weather continues. Portland will be
'vorite summer resort. And it will
hve a formidable rival in The Dalles,
where the weather could not be im
proved on, If 'twere not that an entire
change it necessary when one expects
o receive benefit from a vacation, it
would not be necessary to leave home
lhi year, for while the beat will be op
pressive for a few days, along comes
J"t as many cool days, when the air
"oli off and the weather is perfect.
Yesterday we called attention to the
tl'ist'e notice published by the marshal,
ho intends to rigidly enforce the same.
This will probably interest those who
hve property which It not occupied
fore than any one else, for there It the
place to find a good crop. If, however,
oners could raise a crop of their own
nd not distribute their harvest over
ol"r people', lawns and gardens, it
oold not be to bad; bat not only those
ho w are the onet to reap. If pride
n Tour own property doet not prompt
Too to heed the maithal't warning, be ,
unselfish enough to consider yoor neigh-
uor ana ine trouble which yoa are
e using him.
In the West it is quite the proper
thing for rejected suitors totnd the lives
of those who dare to refuse them. These
are generally white men, however; but
the East goes us one better and doe. not
permit a white woman to refuse her
hand to even an Indian. A dispatch
tellt of a graduate from the Indian
school at Carlisle, Pa., who shot and
killed a girl in Amherst, Mast. The
Indian had been employed on the farm
for abont a year, and during tbat time
be had paid much attention to the girl.
iiie murder, without doubt, was the
resalt of her refusal of bis attentions.
Mrs. E. B. Crccker hat con?ved as a
gift to the local lodge of the Benevolent
and Protective Order of Elke, of Sacra
memo, rier mansion in that city,
which, with the surrounding grounds.
is valued at 190.000. The Dronertr in
the old home of E. B. Crocker and is
connected by a covered passage with the
Crocker art gallery, presented some
yean ago by the widow of Judge Crocker
to the city. The building it spaciout
and well built and the grounds are ex
icubivo ana nigniy improved. It is
understood that the gift is absolute,
and the only requirements are tbat the
mansion and grounds shall be kept in
good condition.
don, of this city, it attorney for Wasco
county.
Like the Telegram and all the rest of
the "leading" journals, Th Chbosicli
not exempt frjra errors and so on
Babies are all right in their place,
and it is a strange person who does not
love a child.be it ever to small; but
there are places where babies are n the
"wrong pew," and one is at the theater
or other large gatherings where it it nn
comfortable it9elf; shares that feeling
with its parents, and when it gets
enough of the performance, proceeds to
let everyone present know such is the
case by announcing the fact in any
thing but a pleasant tone of voice. We
realize tnat it sometimes seems neces
sary for parents to take; the babe or
mies the show themselves; but when
such is the rate they should know
just wnen to arise, take up their babe
and walk; or in otiier words, when it
ciies, leave the hail until it is again
quiet.
Thursday's Daily.
The first peach plums were shipped
last niisht, when Judge Bennett tent a
carload to New York.
We understand that G. T. Parr, cf the
Eastern Oregon Land Company, has
leased the Magee property on Fourth
street whicn is now occupied by the
family of Leslie Butler.
Ralph E. Moody, the well known at
torney, has been honored with appoint
ment to the office of dietrict deputy
grand exalted ruler of the Benevolent
and Protective Order of Elks for the
state of Oregon. Mr. Moody is a mem
ber of Portland lodge, No. 142, and the
local herd is well pleased with this
recognition shown them.
Last night at their home on the Mill
creek road about two miles from the city
Chester, the 7-year-old son of Albert
and Clara Burns, died of brain fever.
Ilia parents moved from the Valley last
fall, and shortly after Chester was u'ken
with typhoid and has never been well
aince. The funeral will take place to
morrow at 10 o'clock from the residence.
The Daily Astorian has been sold to a
corporation called the Astorian Publish
ing Company. John Adams, John T.
Lighter and George Gray are named as
the incorporators, and a cash consider
ation was paid for the paper and its
Dlant. It is understood the new com
pany has ample financial backing, and
the Astorian will be immediately inv
proved and enlarged.
List night Mr. Shaw promised the
audience at the Baldwin that if possible
he would havea number of raised seats
placed in the back of the hall for the
convenience of those who have general
admission tickets. He now announces
that benches have been put in which
will accommodate 200 porsons, and add
greatly to their comfort, while it does
much to preserve quiet in the building,
The horse canning buslnest must te
on the boom at Linnton. Three thous-
ant head have recently been bought up
on the Simcoe Indian leservation, and
are being brought here and shipped to
that preserver of horse flesh. They are
fine looking animal?, too. Laet year
amona those that were bought for that
purpose, a gentleman saved out a team,
for which he has since been offered $150.
In SDeakios of a trip made by the
Ora, the steamer of which O. S. Waud

rnblihed at Dawson, savs: I be pat-
tengere who ctme on the 'Ora' tpeak In

adopted by tho land board recently, to
take the place of the forms used in the
past, have been tent to the attorneyt of

Tuesday last in speaking of the arrest of
Fred Walthar, we said he was fined (5
for attempting to choke the ton ot John
Walthar. We should have said the ton
of John Matthews. Fred objects to
having it said tbat he was arrested for
chastising any of his own relation! (if
there were such a boy) although betayt
he'd shake them np if they needed it.
Burglars seem to have chosen that
portion of the hill near Mays' residence
as their favorite rendevous, and lat
niht one of them hid in a dry goods
hex in Mr. Wm. Cates yard and after
that gentleman had gone to bed called
upon Lira, without the usual ceremonies.
After he had gained entrance, however,
air. ates heard him and got up to
receive him with open revolver ; but
he was not so sociably inclined and not
only backed out, but ran out before he
was accoeted. Mr. Cates' faciily is
away, and no valuables were left around,
so his visit was fruitless.
Last night about 8:20 President Mel
ten's special train passed through thit
city from Portland. Ou board was also
President Mohler, of the O. R. &. N.
There has been much stir in railroad
circles since the arrival of President
Mellen, and his visit is said to relate to
the future traffic arrangements between
the O. R. & N. and the Northern Pacific.
Curing his visit Mr. Mellen declared
that unless the Union Pacific gave the
Northern Pacific traffic arrangements
over the O. R. & N. to Portland his
road would build a direct line there.
The result of his visit is not yet known.
As proof of the condition of our side
walks an accident which happened to
an old lady on Third street this morn
ing is sufficient. When coming leisure
ly along, she ran up against one of those
ever-present spikes known as nails, and
stumbling, fell to the ground. Luckily
she escaped injury, but 'twas not be
cause any condition of our sidewalks
prevented it. The sidewalk question is
an old one, out it cannot oe at old as
some of the walks. Among others
which are tottering and broken down
with age are two which lead to the
bluff, one on Fiftli street, going up from
Washington, and the other in front of
the old Fulton property. Either one of
these might be responsible for any num
ber of broken legs were the pedestrians
not aware of their terriblo condition and
failed to step carefully.
Regarding the Georgia Minstrels,
which appear at the Vogt Monday, an
exchange says: "Far superior to the
ordinary farce-comedy is that of the
Georgia Up-to-Date Co. as seen last
night for the first time at Love's opera
houe. They are the cleverest of dark
comedians, and are so well drilled that
it is a pleasure to note the thorough
system that characterizes all their work.
The opera house was packed and jam
med to its utmost capacity and the
laughter and applause were almost con
tinuous. The vocalization was fine, the
dancing simply wondeiful, and all the
gag9 and songs were new. From
the first rise of the curtain to the last
drop the audience is assailed with the
finest singing ever heard here by any
company, l tie nrst act opens aown in
Georgia before tho war and carries you
up to the swell upper-ten of the colored
400, to close with a grand medley of the
late comic operas-
iy well pleased with the purchase as
the stock are fine, large and well adapt
ed to the Wyoming country, to which
ttate they will be shipped. He left
last night for Spokane to join his family
Last night the city paps ordertd the
bicycle ordiuanc strictly enforced.
Now the cyclists must not bide their
light under a bushel, but let everyone
known it when they're out at night
They must also give the tU'ewalks the
' go by."
W. J. Roberta will return to Pullman
thit evening, having enlightened tbe
council on tome minutia regarding the
proposed sewer system. Mr. Roberts
it associate principle of mathematics
and civil engineering in the college at
Pullman.
We are sorry to learn that for many
reasons (real and also imaginary) our
evaporator has failed to materialize.
" iwere ever inns," and tte best way
to do is never to feel sure of anything
until yoa are sure It will not evaporate
before your very eyes.
Prof. W. Smith, who was formerly
principal of tho public schools in The
Dalles, came up at far as Cascades
yesterday. lie was accompanied by
Mrs. Smith, he having been recently
married. He is now principal of the
schools in Grass Valley, California.
Yesterday afternoon Willard Ferguson
was arrested, charged with larceny from
the dwelling of Theo. Mesplio on Mill
creek. lie had been employed by Mr.
Meepl'e for about seven years, but of
recent years has not been making bis
borne with them. He was arraigned

A fine rain visited this section Friday
night and Saturday morning. The dust
was put out of business for a while aud
the crops very much benefited. Dan
Rinehart reported having heard of one
man who was kicking about the rain
because bis bny was in tbe field but lie
did notgivo bis name. Condon Globe.
Lieutenant Lewis informs us that out
of thirty-five applicants he has accepted
eight recruits and rejected tw enty-seven.
Five left this morning and three will
leave tomorrow. Others are being ex
amined daily , and no doubt quite a
number will betaken into the regular!
service before the lieutenant leaves tbe
city.
The following telegram was received
in Portland yesterday by General Beebe
from General Summers: "Will leave
here Tuesday, 5 p. m-, and arrive home
Thur8davP2p.m. Will bring through
fully COO men or more as a regiment.
Arrange for a reasonable parade. At
the end of the parade the colors will be
presented to the governor, also the gov
ernor can review tho parade. Havea
band for the regiment, us ours had to
turn their instruments back."
Surely there is not such a marked
difference between the weather in The
Dalles and Portland. And yet an ad
in The Telegram last night beaded "Ex
citement," would indicate that they are
having wintery weather. The cut rep
resents a in n rushing to the office on J
Wednesday evening, with a big fur
coat on and his hands in his pockets
while the wintry wind was whistling
around. Evidently the ad man hud
used one of last winter's old cuts .
Some of the boys of our city, between
the aaer. of 8 and 13, fail to remember
tbat "lis a sin to steal a pin," or iny
thing however small, and therefore sev
eral in the West End of town have teen
in the habit of swiping everything ly
ing loose about their neighbors' prem
ises garden hose, hammers, tools of all
kinds. Yesterday two or threo of them
went Into a yard and unscrewing a new
brass faucet from a hydrant, walked
away with it, leaving tho water running.
It was afterward found by the owner in
a boy's pocket. The gentleman bad
compassion on the boy and refrained
from having him punished as he de i
served; but if these petty thefts con
tinue "somethin' mnst-drap." Parents
should give more heed to their boys' ac
tions and when anything is found in
their pockets unaccounted for, invest!
sate the matter. Such small thieves are
but fitting themselves to fill a cell in the
penitentiaries, "for great trees from lit
tle acorns grow." Really they should
be tent to our reform schools.
