LOCAL BREVITIES Saturday Daily. Some people keep the Sabbath so holy that they don't work any for three days before or three day after. John Mooldnck, a prominent pioneer .ettler of Grant coonty, who had mined there for forty years, died in Canyon City Thursday morning. He was a 32d degree Mason. The surveyors for tbe ezteneion of the Columbia Soothern forty-six miles fur ther south, claim they have found easy grades over most of the route, tnd work will begin in a few days. Work wag begun yesterday on the new laundry and already the foundation Is laid and also the floor joist. Mr. Mac Allieter expects to have everything in working order inside of two weeks. Chae. Butler has purchased six car loads of cattle from Prineville stockmen, amoDg whom are Messrs Cram, Lyle and Dunham. They are in the Saltmarehe yarJs today and will be shipped to Port Towneend tonight. C. E. Miller, of Pease & Mays' dry goods department, is not .in his ac customed place today, but confined home by sickness. Mrs. Miller and both children have also been ill, so that they're home has been a veritable hospital. Paul Mohr is expected to arrive in thecityina few days, and it is to be hoped that every effort will be made by oar citizns toward the enduing of the river at the narrows and to induce company to make The Dalles terminus. The thirtv-ninth exhibition of tbe the the Oregon state fair opened last evening at 6 o'clock at the fairgrounds at Salem. Tb9 exercises consisted of a band con cert by Parson's orchestra. No better weather could be asked, and it bids fair to be a decided success. A change has been made In the "hello girls" at the Oregon telephone office. Mist Jnsie Jenkins, who was night operator, lias resigned her position, which is now filled by Miss Minnie Barteli. The day force consists of Misses Cora Joles, Maie Elton and Martha Schooling. They say some real estate agents are so enterprising that if they go to sheol when they die, they will cut the place up into town lots, get up a boom and then unload on poor mortals who are enticed there by statements that they will never have to pay any coal bills. A drunken man by the name of Hum phrey, who was arretted yesterday after noon, had a notion of causing the mar shal a great deal of trouble by resisting arrest. There were razors flying in the air for a time, but it doesn't take a grrat while to conquer a drunken man, and he was soon 'landed." Tbe body of a woman which was found in the river at Shogren'i landing, near Arlington recently, has proven to be that of Clara French, alias Violet John Ion, who before entering upon the down ward course which ended in suicide, lived in Jefferson, Or., and was from a iJ'pf ( table family, who are now heart broken over the tragic ending of such a m staken life. It is surprising the number of letters of inquiry which are being received all over the state from Eastern people who desire to make their homes heie. Post master Riddell Is constantly receiving uch communications and tells us he has o far answered each one, although it has taken quite little work. Oregon's 'me is fast spreading and the state Mpidlj being filled with those who no doubt come with the idea of not only Vowing up," but keeping up with the bvs spirit of the West. There la an over-abundance of melons I" the market this season, due perhaps to the light demand for them this U'nmer. While the shipment is large, It does not equal that of other years, hich it accounted for from the fact that the cool weather is not conducive to. a taste for this fruit. While in former yrt our merchants paid from l to 'r)0 a doz-n, this year the prices range 'rom forty cents to f 1.23. The flavor is "ot so good, either, for a great deal of unnhina , necessary if the best melons re produced Tliere is ( n crop In Orf gon this year whic':i s'eins to have been anything but Injure, and that is the fly crop, par ticu'arly those which choose the horse their victim. Somehow that mil anc (oeinj to be worm than ever, i I the poor tnimats are annoyed al no t to death, fairly twitching their tils ff in the en'loimr to get rid of ln n. As thit is the cbS" It wcuM be well (or farmers and others, who keep tl'olr h.ret Handing for 10 long hitched J" ""ino town post, to consider the com '"ft of these poor heastt. Through the effortt of tho Arlington tTlr.Kn..u P . . " u'(warlarrangementicave been made to receive all the wheat grown on the Wathington tide of the river. They will have platforms and scales and tufficieot men to onload and receipt for the wheat the tame at if it were delivered in Arlington, thus ena bling farmert to return home without delay. They have also leased the ware boute of Balfour, Guthrie Company and will operate both as one to the interests of the wheat growers. Thit arrangement will be very beneficial to Arlington. The city health department estimate! that there have been over five hundred persons vaccinated in Pendleton during theprestnt week. Of these, the pro- riiuuu n uniurm to oiuer persons is about ten to one. All the physicians have been busy, although just now the rush is all over, and only comparatively a few come into the offices to have the operations performed. There is only one case of smallpox, contrary to are port that appears to have become cur rent. That is the man taken to the pest house a week ago, and in charge of an immune nurse, George Hayes. He was somewhat worse today, but is having good care, and will receive it as long as he is ill. E. O. A mammoth wheat farm for sale. An opportunity for some one to great that it seems hardly true ; 800 acres of deeded land, all well fenced.

The traps are doing fairly well and catch nearly all the salmon delivered at the canneries. Fishermen do not look for increased catches until about the 23th instant. Astorian. The Butler Drug Co. have just re ceived a new stock of wall paper and in order to rcake room for it, tbey are of fering paper of all grades at prices that will surprise you. Call and examine their stock. Still the matrimonial market is lively and marriages are taking place daily. Today a license was granted to Emma Jacobsen and Chas. Nelson, and Chas.

Yesterday was lively day for ti e Regulator. Saturday evening at 8 o'clock she I. ft for Lyle with a load of shsep and made two trips that night. Yesterday she also made two trips to Cook's Landing with sheep. They are Ketchum and Mays' flocks. Judge Cake, grand chancellor of the K. of P. of Oregon, arrived in the city this morning, and will visit Friendship lodge tonight. At th i close of the regu lar lodge, a reception will be given him and ail members and their families, Raihhone Sisters and visiting members are invited to be present. We are informed that Deacon Caleb Brookt hat been very ill of inflammation of the stomach and kidneys for the past two weeks, at his home seven milns from the city. Mr. Brooks it now 70 years of age, and it Is therefore leared he will not eurvive such an illness, although he was tomewhat improved yesterday. La-t Saturdiv John Quirk, an old - ...I , i I . I.

It tkes a person with a hardy constitution and strniK nerves to oven go thiongh the or.leal of reading srmo of their ads, which would make well people turn sick. Fur instance the new ad. for "Celery's Compound" a nerve mcJidn?, is harrowing in tbe extreme, and calcu lated to give all who peruse it ingrowing nerves. Many have expressed a desire to hear from our boys regarding Hie in the Philippines and their experiences in battle. Tbey are soon to have an oppor tunity, as Earl Sanders is making ar rangements to deliver a lecture on the 27th. The place wher it will be given has not been decided upon, but will be given later. An admission of io rents will be charged, acd 15 ctutt to children. Judge Mayt this morning recivtj a telegram from Supt. Paine, of the In sane asylum, announcing the death of John Stocking, who was committed to that insulation some months ago from this placs. Many will remember him as the old gentleman who conceived the idea of building a hotel on Third ttreet and commenced the structure out of old tiu cans. He was in poor health when committed and it was not thought he could live long. He came here from Sherman county, and not knowing of any relatives, Judge Mays answered the Inquiry regarding the disposition of the body by telling them tc bury him al Salem. Tbe Methodist congregation was de lighted to again have Rev. Wood occupy the pulpit yesterday morning. Having preached bis farewell sermon previously and leceived his appointment elsewhere, he informed his congregation that bad he anyt hing against them for which be desired to censuie them, now would see.? to be the acceptable time: but in his heart was only tbe kindest feolings, which would ever remain. He preached a splendid sermon, which only intensified tbe regret of his members at parting with such an able and beloved pastor. Rev. Hoskins, who is to be stationed at Moro, occupied the pulpit nn the evening. A few days since word was received that two soldiers of tbe regular army had been sentenced to be hanged on the Philippine Islands for assaults on native women. That Gen. Otis had recom mended the execution. One of them was Geo. B. Damphoffer, son of a prominent brewer at Vancouver, and well known there. He enlisted in the Sixteenth regulars; served in the Cuban campaign and his regiment was afterward sent to Manila. His father has petitioned Senator Foster, who is now at Washing ton, and Senator Simon to endeavor to have the sentenced commuted, either to a life sentence or to interpose as much as possible in his behalf. They have signified tl.eir intention of so doing. If any one has an idea that advertis ing in the Chronicle does not pay, and that its columns are not read outside of the state, we would refer them to Dad Butts, who is constantly receiving letters of inquiry from different ttates concerning bis real estate ads. This morning be received a letter from a man In Essex, lows, concerning a farm be has for sale. This is still another proof of tbe interest Eastern people are taking in Oregon. We are also reminded that every column in the paper is perused when a slight error occurs in a reading notice or in an ad then every reader is sure to see it. So If you wish to let peo ple all over the United States know you live In America, just tell them so through the columns of the Chkoniclk. The children were very successful in their entertainment given for the monu ment fund at the home of Genevieve Fish Saturday afternoon. The parlors were well filled and Mrs. Fish was com pelled to borrow chairs from the neigh bors that all might be comfortable. Every child did his or ber part well, and the cike walk, in which all participated was "too cute for anything." Most of the little ones had a good deal to say about how their costumes were arranged and they were all right. At a result of their effort! $11 will be added to the fund, much more than hat been raised by any like entertainment in Portland. The children are very proud, and little Harold Fish informed a friend that they were to furnish the money to build tbe entire monument whicn wouiu De at tall at the Catholic church steeple, he thought, and have an eagle on the tip top.

Yesterday there wat a gain of forty-six popils over the at tendance on the opening day. The neat little cottage being erected by Harry M shear, on ths comer of Laugblin and Second street, is Hearing completion and when finished will be occupied by W. A. Johnston and family. Wheat teams were numerous in the East End today, and no one would ever dream that inch a thought as fail are was ever suggested to the farmert of the Inland Empire. It's a wet dav when we of Eastern Oregon get left. In connection with our report yester day of tbe Congregational anniversary evercises, we neglected to mention two important factors in tbe church work the Y. P. S. C.

Rev. J. II. Wood detiret us to an nounce to the public that as he will leave for North Yakima in a few days, be would be grateful if any who have business with him, or with whom he may have business that he has over- looxea, win can ur-ou turn at once, so that a settlement may be made. Intereet hat been awakened at The Dalles in the monument fund, w hich is as it should be. The latest contribution is from that order which is constantly dispersing charily which others know not of : but this time it wat discovered that the tlks yesterday sent $2o to Portland as their donation to this fund. Opening of the fail and winter mil linery at the Caupbell & Wilson Mil linery Parlors from Tuesday to Saturday inclusive, Sept. 19th to 23rd, '99.

There has been considerable inquiry as to how some of the prominent men in the Dreyfus trial pronounce their names. As nearly as can be learned Dreyfus is pronounced Dryfoos, though some in Franco call it Drayfus. Gen. Mercier, his greatest enemy, is appropriately called Mairseeary. Labori is Lahboree. Demango, Demanzhe with a nasal n. Casimir-Perier, Cazimir-Payreeay. The president of the court marshal, Col Jouaust, it called Zoo-oh; Jndgotuec day de Beaure paire is Ken nay do Bo-ruhpair. W e have always considered the Blue Mountain American one of our most valued exchanges and now we find upon our table another Sumpter paper which it a model of neatnesa and full of news. We refer to the Sumpter Miner, a week ly paper, which began publication last Wednesday. It is an eight-page, four column paper, and as neatly gotten up at any newtpaper we have seen for some time. Should the number of advertise ments increase in proportion to the way they start out, the Miner has undoubt edly struck a Klondike, or a Sumpter, which are synonymous. The Chronicle greets the new paper fraternally and will gladly place it on our exchange list. Ex-Congressman Ellis, who is spend ing a few days in Portland, says be is not trying to get the position of serjeant-at-arms of the house of representatives, as has been reported. He is attending strictly to his own private business, which is the practice of law, in his old home town, Heppuer. The position of sergeant- at-arms, however, is quite an acceptable one, at the pay it the tame at that of congressman $5000 a year while the duties are more of the grand-marshal-on-parade order. The official takes the lead in the procession when the senate meet in committee of the-l whole, an I I e also acts as treasurer for congress, each n. ember of tbe lower house receiving his salary through the sergeant-at-arms. The othVe holds good for two years, when a change is usually made. Oregf nian.

Just acrott the river, five miles back on a road leading off of the main Goldendale route, it a curiosity which we have never before heard cf nntil Mr. Giffori mentioned it today. It it an immense rock, which it shaped like a cabbage. From a large base extends a narrow neck about eight inches across and perhaps as many inches high. Poised on this is a huge rock, weighing tons and having the form of cabbage. In company with the surveor of the new road, Mr. Gifford visited that section yesterday and secured a splendid picture of it. The audience room of the Met hod it t church wat filled iatt night with not only members of the church and League, but many friends who had come to express their regret at the departure of Rev. Wood from our city. The ixercises were conducted by the Kpworth League and e insisted of a literary entertainment, after which refreshments were served and a good time enjoyed. Exercises opened with singing, after winch Miss Mabel Collins gave a recitation. Ptof. Landers sang a solo, and at the close Misses Hilda Beck and Grace Willerton sanga duet entitled "Good Bye." Mrs. S. French spoke of the wonderful influence which Mr. Wood has exerted over the League; of the pleasant relations which have existed between that society and their pastor, and also of the great work which through bis instrumentality, they are now accomplishing. In answer Mr. Wood said that be felt unworthy of all that had been said regarding him and his work in that connection ; but must say that nowhere could be found more willing workers and a better class of young people, ever ready to do the work assigned to them with cheerfulness. He could not estimate the help thev had been to him and the impetus given bv tneui. As little as possible was said about parting and so the evening passed pleasantly. Mr. ood cannot now toll how soon he will leave the citv, and may remain over another Sunday.

The Hook asd Latdr Hoja Kaaw Haw to Oat I a I'arij. On all tides Saturday was heard ex preit.n4 of surprise that the Hook and Ladder ni had been so successful in the crowd w hi h attended the dance. Many bad expected that no matter what care was exercised in the tale of tickets, it would be next to impossible to obtain a detirable crowd; but although the ball wat crowded, had invitation! been teat out the attendance would bave been about the tame, and the boyt are de lighted with the success of the party in every particular. The floor wat In poor condition at first, but toon became smoother, making danc ing much pleasanter. Birgfeld'a or chestra furnished the usual good music, and in several instances the continued applause com pelted them to give encores. Dancing ceased at 1 o'clock, and it ia safe to say everyone felt satisfied at the en j lyable time they had spent. Not only was it a social success, but financially as well, tbe grott receipts be ing $343. Their expenset were light, the opera house, printing, etc., being do nated.
