Maurice Bcfta, the 7-yeap-old child
who disappeared from Portland a week
go Sunday, and who was supposed to
have been kidnapped, is now discovered
to have been drowned, and his body was
found fljating under Madison bridge
ystenlay morning. A reward of flOO
bad been offered to anyone who found
him alive, and $25 for the recovery of
his body in case he was dead. ,
There is to be a meeting of the Hook
and Lsdder Company tonight, when
there will be a "warm time." Not a
tire, but an energetic discussion of
methods to procure a new equipment.
Every member should be there.
This has been just tne kind of a day to
make one wish he owned an Eastman
kodak. If you haven't one, the Butler
Drug Company can tell you just tiow to
get it. Nothing will add more to the
pleature of a long walk or diive.
The council made a move last night
which will be seconded by everyone who
loves light rather than darkness, and
again we venture the hope that ere the
dark, wintry weather sets in some agree
ment will be entered luto whereby we
shall "have light."
Postmaeter Kiddell has received a
complete description of the new money
orders referred to in TliK Chronicle re
cently. The supply of old ones will be
used up about the 20th, when the new
ones will be on hand. After January
1st the fee on money orders will be ma-'
terially reduced.
The Chronicle evidently got band
concerts and collection day mixed yes
terday when we spoke of theimpossi
bility of standing on wet "payments" to
listen to the music. Wet payments is
good when referring to the foolish habit
which prevails when payments are made
nowadays; but we really meant pave
ments that time,
From the amount of smoke which has
been iseuing from tho freight office at
the depot yesterday and today, one
might have been tempted to call out the

r,k Finnell Snndav, afternoon In
wok county near Antelope, died last
j,'. Up t0 tht llB ' going to prew no
bad been received ai to whether
or not Finnell had given himself op or
neen captured oy the deputy who was
in search of Mm. Information received
since yesterday is to tbe effect that
Moran started down to Perry Maopin'e
place and as he passed Fionell
he informed hiui where he was
giing. Seeing he was in an iutoxi
cated condition and fearing ha might
frighten the ladies, Finnell followed
him. When he arrived be found Manpin
and Moran fighting, and interfered,
when tbe latter pitched on bim ferocious
ly. Finnell then fired his pistol, striking
Moran j'ist below the sixth rib. the ball
coming out near the spine. No doubt by
this time Finnell has given himself up,
but no word has been heard.
The LUi:e9 now has a band in which
it can take pride, as was attested by the
concert given at the club rooms last
evening. Their selections were chosen
with artistic taste, and the manner in
which they were rendered showed that
the musicians have an idea what trite
music is; not a juruble of souuds, but
the blending of tones so that some ex
pression is given and the effect is not
lost on the bearers. The second number,
"The Wayside Chapel," was particularly
beautiful and much appreciated bv all,
as was also the march "The Great
Captain." The musicians were eeated
in the billiard room, and the parlors
were well filled with members of the
club and their lady friends. At the
close of the concert, at the request of
the directors, the band gave another
selection and many enjoyed a waltz in
the parlors. A request has been made
for a repetition of the concert, which
will no doubt be granted if the weather
will permit its being given in the open
air when the leader of the band ,eturns
from his vacation trip.
Thursday' Daily.
Wa understand the contract has been
let for repainting the old Cosmopolitan
hotel. This will be a great improvement,
not only to the building, but that part
of the city.
Albert Mullen, recently of Toronto,
has accepted a position in the dry goods
department of Peaee & Mays' store, and
took up his duties there a few days
since. He is a brother-in-law of Dr.
Hudson.
Who knows but Chicago's warm wave
may be coming our way. The report
says fair and warmer. Well, we can j
stand a little summer weather this year,
and Chicago, which is cooking, cou!d
ttand some oi our rain.
Tbe county commissioners today
granted a six-months liquor license to
C. L. Schmidt, of Portland, to carry on
a s iloon at Cascades. Also a license to
Clyde Bonney to run a ferry between
Hxid River and White Salmon
When Dr. Logan was in Portland a
few days since he called upon Chas.
Evan! at the St. Vincent hospital. The
improvement made since his lei: was
amputated has been remarkable and he
expected to leave the hospital Tuesday
Monday evening at 8:30 o'clock, fire
broke out in the dye house of the Pen
dleton woolen mills and in thirty min
utes the machinery was destroyed, a
huee pile of Indian robes and steamer
rujs was turned and the building was
damaged to the extent of $300.

We suppose tbe name of the new town
at Cross Hollows is intended to be
in honor of A. Scherneckau.wlio was per
haps the olJest settler there, making it
his home for many years. But while
there's much in the former way of spell
ing it, there's quite a difference In Shanl
ko. Any way it will be easier to spell
correctly.
The sans and sisters of the late Sam
Simpson are taking steps to have his
poems published. Leaving out some of
the leaht admired of his works, there
will be enough to make a book of some
400 pages. Details have not been fully
arranged as yet, but it is probable that
there will be an edition In fine paper
and bound in excellent style, and an
other of a less expensive character.
The book will doubtless meet with a
large sale in Oregon and will find favor
elsewhere.
Still the fishermen on the lower river
are not content, but must find fault
with the upper river fishermen. A din
patch from Astoria says: "The fall
fishing season will open next Sunday,
but unless reports are untrue, some of
the upper river fishermen and canneries
are already at work." Inqniry regard
ing the matter proves this statement to
he false. While the canneries may bave
lv.t hnav a oortion of the close season,
those who know say they were engaged
In potting on labels and finishing up
other work.
A. A. Bonney, stock Inspector, came
Into the city yesterday afternoon, having
driven In a thousand neaa oi laraus,
hich have been purchased by V. l.
Ketchum. Mr. Bonney says n me
nrant movement of clos ng the reserve
to grazing is carried Into effect, the
result will be the utter destruction of
the industry. The agitation which has
been carried on so long baa been In
Itaelf sufficiently dlsaitrou, and now
that Secretary Wilson's visit ba re
Vlved it, will be the more so
At tbe
re;ut of tbe Ciikomcli Mr. Bonney
will soon give oar readers the benefit of
bis views on tbe question.
The sisters of St. Mary's Academy
hv commenced their fall term of
school and are now in regular working
order for the year, undies having been
resumed Tuesday morning after a vaca
tion of ten weeks. A number of board
ers have already arrived and many more
from the country districts will come in
later, when the duties at home can be
laid aside. They are now in better con
dition than ever to accommodate board
ers, having thoroughly renovated the
building, put in gas for lighting it and
new bath roc mi throughout, with the
latest fixtures. Oiher improvement
have also been made, so that arrange-
i ments are very complete.
I The Columbia may be a dangerous
i stream, but there's one little colt that
j proved he wasn't afraid of it. Recently
! Otis Savage presented Mrs. Garretson
with a fine little colt, which is now four
months old. Mr. Garretson had it sent
across the river with the idea of having
it cared for on that side; but "colty"
didn't like the idea, and getting out of
pasture, whin the ferry boat came over
was down ready to return. He was
driven back, but in a short time came
down again, and wading in began to
swim like a Trojan. The current car
ried him down opposite the railroad
company's shops, but he made it to
this side, if he was a little the worse
for wear.
If anyone wants to get ahead of The
Dalles bowlers they must get up early
in the morning, and then our bowlers
will stay up all nieht to be ahead of
them. When the team composed of
Messrs. Houghton, Mays, Baldwin,
Nolan, Kurtz and Schmidt visited Salem
last winter and had a contest with the
team there, their hosts could not do
enough for them and entertained theai
more than royally. In vain did the boys
try to pay their bills, (that is so they
inform us and we don't like to public
ly doubt their word) for even after
Grant Mays, who stayed longer than the
rest, succeeded in paying, a check was
sent to him upon nis return home.
Wishing to show their appreciation of
the kindness in some manner, they con
ceived the idea of presenting the Illihee
club with some remembrance and hap-
pilv chose the photograph of an Indian
recently taken bv Gifford, which is cer
tainly the finest specimen of an Indian
picture we have ever eeen. It is 20x24
and framed in a wide black frame, hav
ing a silver beading next to the picture,
and is particularly apropos as the club
has an Indian name. -It will be sent to
Salem this afternoon.
At an enthusiastic meeting of the
Hook and Ladder Company held Inst
evening in the council chambers, it was
decided to give a dance for the purpose
of raising a fund to purchase a new
truck, for the company. An executive
committee was appointed which will
make nececsary arrangements. It is the
Intention of the company to give such
an entertainment that all who attend
will not only feel better for having given
something for a good cause, but will
have tbe added pleasure of having spent
an enjoyable evening. To anyone who
has lived in The Dalles, the necessity of
keeping up the fire department is easily
apparent. The destructive conflagrations
which have visited our city, bave shown
that money spent in aiding our fire de
partment is well invested. The mem
bera of the company arc not asking any
thing for themselves, but are only taking
t lis means of enabling our citizens to
ehow their appreciation of the arduous
work the boys have done many times to
protect property in danger. A new hook
and ladder truck is Ladly needed, and
Tuk Chronicle hopes that the results of
the dance will go a long way towards
enabling the company to purchase one.
The dance will be given Friday evening.
September 16th, in the Vogt opera
house, Mr. Voet having generously
donated the hall for this occasion.

Arthur Clarke has organized a foot

a challenge to Tho Dalles boys. It they
accept, a new team must be 'organized
as the old team has dissolved.

Company will have tickets for their ball

but those of the community at large.
People who have been in from the
country today say that the scarcity of
harvest hands has been a great problem
with farmers this year. It has been the
same in all lines of business, for it is
almost impossible to obtain help.
Tbe committee is busy arranging for
the lunch which will be served to the
visiting teachers tomorrow in Acaden y
rark, and each one Interested Is looking
heavenward, not for the dally manna,
but to see if the skies look lowering to
that their plans for an outdoor spread
will be frustrated.

Company at a meeting of the board of
directors held at 3 o'clock yesterday
afternoon in Poitland. The only other
changes made in the personnel of the

chosen tD succeed Arnold Marcus as
treasurer, nd Alexander Miller to sue- '
ceed A. C, Tracey as assistant secretary.
The new asylum superintendent will

The fast passing away of the pioneers
o' the Northwest is attested by the
many death notices which appeared in
Wednesday's Oregonian, each one a
pioneer. Xheie were four in succession,
Mrs. Eliza Ensley, of Drain, a pioneer of
1852; W. A. McCully, of Joseph, who
also came here In '52; Dr. C. C. Pagett
of Chebalis, w ho croeecd t tie plains in
tho early '50's; and J. II. P. Hope, of
Lebanon, another pioneer of '52. For a
year past almost every day a notice re
minds us that soon they will all have
left us.
The art rooms of Mrs. O. W. Morgan,
in the Masonic building on Third street,
are a veritable bower, tilled with every
thing beautiful in the art line all sorts
of embroidery patterns, which she is
prepared to give instruction in ; the
most dainty China painting, of which
she makes a specialty. Her oil paint
ings have always been considered very
fine and may be setn at the studio,
where she will receive pupils. It will
pay the ladies to call on her and see her
work, even If they have no thought of
purchasing.
Next Sunday will be the date for the
open fishing season, hut unless more it
done along that lino than during the
last open season It wili hardly pay the
upper river fishermen to put down their
wheels. It Is hardly to be i-xpected,
however, that our fishermen will stand a
ghost of a show when the rier below
here it literally filltd with leads, which
give the Uih no chancj to escare tbem.
A lead is now being put in at the Mc-
Gowan cannery and a ntimler of others
between Lyle an J Momaloots island.
Tbe fishermen on tbe upper river will
be compelled to make a deeierate move
against this state of affairt.

dealers endeavored in vain to secure

with a boycott. But its a good thing for

The marriage of J. H. Egert and
Miss Lizzie Ehrck took place Wednes
day evening at 7 o'clock at the residence
of the bride's parents six miles from
Hood River, Rev. Troy Shelly perform
ing the ceremony. The bride's sister,
Miss Mary Ehrck, acted as bridesmaid
and Chas. Clark was best man. About
forty friends were present, ainrng whom
were Misses Kathryn Sargent and
Rachel Morgan, of this city, and Miss
Eva Slusher, of Dufur. At the close of
me ceremony a Dounteous supper was
served and later dancing was enjoyed.
The bride and groom left Thursday for
a two-weeks trip to Salem, where the
relatives of Mr. P:ggert reside. Thev
will make their home in Hood River.
It would seem but fitting that our
citizens who are not members of tbe
Hook and Ladder Company should bave
taken the initiative in procuring means
to purchase a new equipment for the
boys;but as the boys have not hesitated
to do more than their part.the only thinii
left for others to do is fall in line and
give all tbe assistance needed. Those
who dance will "net their money's
worth," in the enj yment afforded on
the 15th, and those who do not attend
should at least purchaso a ticket for If
they have not already been benefited
sufficient through the efforts of the Hook
and Ladder boys, they will probably
have reason to he indebted to them in
tho future and should at any rate help
them out in their commendable effort.
A Komantlo Courtnlilp.
A most romantic courtship culmin
ated in a happy marriagp, at the Marion
county court house, on Tuesday, after a
series of ups and I'owna experienced by
few couples receiving marriage licenses
there. The marriage was that of Miss
Ama Walker, one of the equestriennes
of the Waiter L. Mam circus, to Captain
Hugh Thomason, of the Rough Rider
brigade attached to the same show.
The story of this happy young couple
is a most romantic one. Hugh Thoma
son and Ama Walker were not always
circus performers. They were both
born and raised in a beautiful Southern
village, and became sweethearts. Ia
some way a lover's quarrel over some
trifling matter caused a separation, and
the young man strayed away from his
refined and respectable home, and, when
the Cuban ineuirection broke out lu
1895, he was one of the first American
adventurers to tender his services to the
Cuban leader in their fight for liberty.
After a time his sweetheart learned of
his report d death, and, alter a season
of mourning, became the bride of an
other schoolmate and in hit company
became a bareback rider in a circus.
Ahont a year ago she trcured a
divorce from her husband, resuming her
maiden name, and joined Mr. Main's
big shows as an equestrienne.
A few weeks ago a com pi ny of rough
riders joined the circus, and In the tall,
handsome captain of the company, Miff
Walker wat turprised to recognise the
lover of her earlier years wt.om tbe bad
mourned at dead. Lovt wat not dead,
