0 dreii circle. Monday a small
d cJcln visited Portland. It was
about fifty feet in width and running up
against a small building in a brickyard,
removed the roof to a distance of 300
feet. No other damage was done. It
was the second that has visited the city,
so says the oldest inhabitants.
County Clerk Kelsay was the firet
person outside of the army to lend a
hand toward the furtherance of the
Hallelujah wedding, which takes place
Saturday night. Yesterday alternoon
he granted a license to Frank E. Potts
and Cora E. Johnson, which gives them
the consent of the county to become
one.
Charles E. Evans, O. R. & N engi

right log resulting in its amputation, is
getting along finely at St. Vincent's hos
pital. It has only been a little over two
weeks since the accident happened, and
he is able to get around on crutches and
in a wheel chair. He ia cheerful and
recovering rapidly. Oregonian.
Everybody remembers the gallant
achieyementof the big battleshipOregon,
and her commander, Captain Clark
They have spread the state's fame
abroad, and arrangements are being
made to present the captain with a
handsome sword. The proper place for
the presentation is in the great exposi
tion building at Portland during the
Oregon Industrial exposition, when the
whole etato will be represented there by
thousands of people, and arrangements
are being mado to thus honor the gallant
captain. The fair will be held from
Sept. 23 to Oct. 28.
Charles Hoyfs play, "A Midnight
Bell," is to be produced in Portland
commencing Sunday nignt. e nave
always heard this play spoken of in the
blithest terms and are glad to lnlorm
nnr rpadnri that the company will visit
The Dalles on Sept. 4ih. Mr. Butler is
determined to give theater goers here
the benefit of good companies, and is
conscientious In his efforts along that
line. Among other plays we are to hear
is "My Friend From India," which
appears here some time in October.
There is not the slighest doubt regard
ing this production, which has already
established a reputation for iteelf.
There is a queer old Chinese character
seen often on the business streets ct our
city. He hailed from Portland recently
and Is a veritable "dope fiend," being
drunk from opium the greater part of
the time. He is not so beside hlmielf,
however, ai to forget to be sociable and
peak! to almost every cne be passes,
most of the time requesting a job of
washing windows. This is not appre
ciated hy the ladle, to whom he is a
great terror. It would be well were the
authorities to look after him and stop
his meanderlngs. A dianken white
man li detestable enough, but when it
comes to a "doped" Chinaman It is time
to call a halt and get rid of him.
Mr. and Mrs. I. N. Sargent returned
last night from Clatiop beach, where
they have spent the laat month. While
it was rainy during the latter part of
their stay.cauiing Mr. Sargent to re
turn with bad cold, his wife Is very
much Improved In health. A week ago
Saturday the campers and friends about
there discovered that it was their wrd
ding anniversary, and just as they were
about to retire, they heard the sweet
strains of voices singing, "The Old
Folks at Home." After several other
selection, a large party entered their
cottage, extended congratulations to the
happy old couple and spent a short time
very pleasantly with them.
A very sad death was that of Etta,
the year-old daughter of Frank Ward,
which occurred last night at their place
near Wapinltia. Sunday evening Mrs.
Ward had placed a kettle of water on
tha etcve preparatory to boiling some
beane, when the little one crawled up
and holding on to a chair pulled the
boiling water over, icalding her fearful
ly. As she lingered, the parents hoped
to ave her life, but, although the
services of two physicians were seemed,
little could be dono for her and the died
last night. Two neighbors arrived in
town this morning to secure a casKet,
and the burial will take place this
evening- &he was the only child, and
the sad circumstances makes the death
doubly hard for the parents to bear
A party consisting of Mr. and Mrs.
W. S. Myers, Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Miller,
Mrs. J. A. Geisendorffer and Miss Sarah
Henderson started this morning for
Cloud Cap Inn on Mt. Hood, and a por
tion of the party are determined to
reach the summit of the mountain.
From Fred Houghton, who was at the
Inn last Friday, we learn that this is just
the time to make the trip. While it is
ighter colder than in former years, the
mountain is now at its best, and the
rains have so cleared the atmosphere
that the maguificent view obtained from
the Inn cannot be imagined, but should
be seen by all. Generally in August the
forest fires make the atmosphere so
smoky that the mountain and those in
the distance are obstructed from view.
This year that difficulty la obviated.
Those who have never made the trip
have no idea of what they are missing.
Dry goods clerks may not always come
out ahead at base ball, but when it
comes to downing "camp followers"
they're lure shot, as was proven by a
tragedy at Stevenson last week. Two
fellows had been skulking atout the
place for some time and had frightened
io me children dreadfully, so that camp
ers were on the lookout for them. On
the memorable night at midnight the
clerk was dreaming, when tuddenly
rocks began to descend on the canvass
and a noise was heard outside. Gather
log his revolver, the brave hero went
forth to battle. Creeping cautiously
over the gny ropes and n. ensuring his
steps, he saw undt r a tree near by, the
figure of a man. In accents tragic the
youth exclaimed, "What want you
here?" No answer came, and still the
youth crept on. Suddenly as he drew
near he saw the arms extended and the
figure bend toward him "and the villian
'.ill pursued him." In desperation he
took swift aim, the bullet went home
and the villian fell pierced through the
leg. Hurrying to the scene, the mur
derer bent to lift the dying form, when
lot and behold, the life went out and
the man returned to the straw from
whence became. And now the clerk is
looking for the neighboring small boys
and attempting to keep the tragedy from
the papers.

The Telegram asks "Can it be that
the prevalence of the name Dewey is
the cause of all this on timely humidity?"
Perhaps if the names of Summers or
Otis bad been chosen, we'd have had
less winter and better prospects for a
good crop.
Yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock, at
the home of the bride's mother in Du
fur, Henry Hudson Jr. and Miss Mar
guerite Covey were wed. The newly mar
ried couple arrived in The Dalles last
evening and are guests at tho Farmers'
Hotel.
Last night the Maccabees again exem

degree is becoming very popular with the
members of that order.
The Shaw Company begins a week's
engagement at the Marquam in Port
land next Monday. We notice by a
Pendleton paper that Clay Clement was
to have been in that city on the 9th of
next month, but owing to bis taking a
trip t J Honolulu firet, will not appear
till some time in December. There ia
an actor whom Dalles people would
appreciate, and no doubt with a little
effort he could be induced to eive at
least one night's performance here at
the same time.
Brigadier Stephen Marshall from Port
land, assisted by a number of el a IT and
field officers, is to conduct a hallelujah
wedding in the Baldwin opera house on
Saturday evening, August 20th, at 8
o'clock. A bin time is anticipated. The
brigadier is a man of old experience a
along this line of business and can do the
work up in stylo. Tickets can ba pro
cured from all Salvationists for 10c each
The brigadier will also conduct the
usual Sunday meetings in the S. A. hall
A cordial invitation is extended to all.
In Humaeon's Addition to Dalles City
lots sell from $100 to $150 each. One
acre of land contains 12 such lot, there
fore one acre of land in that locality
should be worth from 1(1200 to $1800.
Now listen to this. Dad Butts has one
acre of fine, level, well-watered land in
this addition that he is going to sell to
the firet one that wants to buy it for the
sum of $-150. Now, if any one wants to
invest in city property investigate just
what has been said. It is situated near
the public school building and Is beauti
fully located. Call or write to Dad Butts.
The national G. A. R. encampment
will be held in Philadelphia from the
4tb till the 0th of September. The
Oregon delegates will leave about the 1st.
There are nearly 5000 G. A. R. men
In Oregon. Many of the rank and file
intend to attend, but the delegates do
not as yet warm up to the idea very en
thusiastically. Every delegate is ex
pected to pay his own expenses, and
while it is a great honor to attend as a
delegate, it means considerable of an I
outlay to go such a long distance as
where the encampment will be held
this year.
The Oregon Press Association which
met this week in Astoria eltcted the fol
lowing officers: J. S. Stewart, Fossil,
president; B. F. Irvine, Corvallis, vice
president; Albert Triier, Portland, sec
retary; Fred C. Baker, Tillamook, treas
urer. The president was authorized to
appoint the executive committee. Ash
land was chosen as the plecs to bold the
next annual meeting. The association
was particularly fortunate in its choice
of president, Mr. Stewart being one of
the most agireBslve newspaper nun in
the state and having the best interests of
the association at heart.
6o many letters addressed for delivery
in Hawaii, prepaid at the rate of 2 cents
per ounce, are being mailed all over the
country, that N. M.. Brooks, mperin-
tendent of foreign mails, has found it
necessary to call the attention of the
public to the fact that the postage rate
of 2 cents per ounce applies only to let-1
ters addressed to persons connected with
the United States forces in Hawaii.
The rate applicable to letters addressed
to other persons In Hawaii is the Postal
Union rate of 5 cuts per half ounce. If
that rate is not prepaid in full, double
the amount of the deficient postage is
required to be collected of addressees
upon delivery ; that Is to cay, a letter
weighing not more than half an ounce
and prepaid only 2 cents, would bo sub
jected on delivery to the addressee in
Hawaii to a charge of 0 cents, or double
the 3 cents short-paid.
Returning from a jaunt about the hills
near bis borne four miles from this city,
Sunday afternoon, Dick Elton com-
city yesterday morning. In the after
noon about 4 o'clock two physicians per-
lorn.ej the operation, but at once found
that the bowels were ruptured and peri
tonitis had set in, making his chances
for recovery doubtful. Pick, who is the
youngest son of John Elton, is 14 vears
old and has always en jjyed good health.
He was anxious for the operation to be
performed and no fear was felt in retard
to the result until the decton discovered
peritonitis had set in.
.At 11 o'clock last night, Milton Ray.
uiond, the second son of R. E. and Vio
let M. Williams, aged 4 years, 3 months
and 15 days, died at their home four
miles from this city, in the Mt. Zion
neighborhood. He had been ailing for
some time, but showed no signs of any
serious trouble until 1 o'clock yesterday
morning, when hi was taken with
spasms. During the day his tonsils be
gan to swell, and to prevent his choking
to death they were removed last evt ning
about 0 o'clock. He was very weak and
grew much worse until 11 o'clock when
he died. Having no thought of any
thing beyond sickness common to child
ren of his age until he was taken with
spasms, and then to be compelled to
give him up in so short a time has been
a great trial to the parents, who have
the sympathy of their friends here. The
funeral took place this afternoon at
3 o'clock, and the interment was
made in Odd Fellows' cemetery.
"Oh, if it had once got fairly started
what a fire we'd have had," was heard
many times last evening when it was
discovered where tho fire was; but it
will take s pretty "foxy" fire to outdo
the fire department these days, and that
which started in the steam laundry last
evening at 8 o'clock didn't succeed.
'Twas not a defective flue this time, but.
defective carpenter work which caused
the fire. Instead of being placed at a
safe distance from the chimney, the fur
ring had been put directly against it, so
that when the chimney burned out, the
heat ignited the wood and it was soon
ablaze. A small bucket of water aud a
ladder was near, so that it was Kept in
check until the firemen arrived and
brought the hose into play on it. So
methodically did the firemen work that
the blaze was put nut without anything
in the laundry being injured by the wa
ter, a rare occurrence, showing the trust
worthy character of our department.
.Mr. MacAlllster.has taken the greatest
precaution to prevent fire; so much so
that the insurance rate has been re
duced, and every evening the premises
are looked over to see that all is safe.
None need feel concerned over fire orig
inating there.
Friday ' Dally.
Yesterday afternoon J. M. Reeder, one
of Antelope's most prominent sheepmen,
obtained a marriage license from County
Clerk Kelsay to wed Miss 11. L. Stocker,
also of Antelope.
The little steamer Flyer, which hit
Uken the place of the Regulator while
she is disabled, is acquitting herself in
a splendid manner and she will yet
show what she is made of. Yesterday
she biought up over four ton of freights,
and each day is welt loaded with
passengers. The Regulator will b
ready t. make her usual tripe by
Wednesday at least.
Mrs Brigs and children left Arling

Ai we notice a few drops of rain fall
ing as we go to press, we were inclined:
to consult the weather report and find
that Pague says, "Probably occasional
showers for tonight and tomorrow."
We will just add they are anything but
welcome.
The Churchman published at Denver
says: "The Dean has returned from
Grand Lake and expect! to be here tha
rest of the summer. He has been kindly
assisted by the Rev. Joseph DeForesl.
w ho has a parish in Oregon and is here
to spend August with his family.
In conversation with a numberof vis
itors from different sections of the conn
try today, .e learn that aside from a
slight bleaching to some of the grain
there has been really no injury done by
the recent rains. This is good news.
M ich better than we dared expect.
The Dalles had a distinguished visitor
last evening in the person of Hon. Geo.
II. Williams, who was on bis way to
Pendleton where he has some important
legal matters to attend to. He made
the trip up from Portland on the boat
and remained over until the night train.
Judge Williams is always a welcome;
visitor In The Dalles, where he haa
many friends,
Goldendale and Hood River are de
termined to have a sufficient number of
newspapers. There is scarcely field for
one paper at the former place, and yet
they already have two, and will have
another by the end of October, the new
one to be an agricultural journal. The
Hood River Glacier is a neat, newsy lit
tle sheet, but what in the world dues at
place the size of Hood River need of two
newspapers?
Yasterday afternoon when B. F.
Brewster, the veterinary surgeon, was
about to administer a dose of medicine
to a sick horse which had just been
brought in from the country to Wilaon'a
stable, in the East End, the animal
objected and kicked him in the left arm.
The arm was broken a few inches be
low the shoulder, and be was thrown
against a stall near by, injuring his left
side, from which he is suffering much
today. Dr. Geisendorffer reduced the
fracture and rendered other necessary
services.
Last night at the Methodist church.
Rev. N. Evans, pastor of the Golden
dale M. E. church, who has just returned
from the National Epworth League con
vection held at Indianapolis, gave a
very interesting address on the work of
the convention, which was especially
enjoyed by the League members. For
an hour or more he held the attention
of bis audience and all were disap
pointed when he ceased speaking, so en-
rapt were they by the manner of his ad
dress and the Idea be gave tbem of the
good work which ia being done by the
League throughout the United States.
