"W. W. Ames, tbe well known fruit
grower of Columbus, while visit:og
Goldendale today gave encouraging re
ports of the Columbia A Dalles Railroad,
in progress of construction. Paul F.
Mobr is reported to have been iu The
Dalles yesterday, where he was met by
Engineer J. W. Strack and driven over
the work on the north side in tbe vicinity
of the fisheries. Another rumor in con
nection with the road now being con
structed from Co'.umbus to Tbe Dai lei
is that a spur will be extended from
Columbus in a northerly direction to
Goldendale, tbence easterly to the town
of North Yakima, and then to a point
on the Colombia river above Priest

Hon. E. B. Dufor is now in Portland,
w here be is attorney for the plaintiff in
a case where R. H. Boyd seeks to secure
from the Portland General Electric
L'ght Company foOOO damages caused
to bis son at Woodiawn in 1897, whtn
be was injured by a broken end of a live
electric light wire striking hiui. The
p'aiotiff alleges carelessness on the part
of tbe company. The boy, by bis father
as guardian, brought a former action
ai;ain U the defendant, which was tried
in March, 1S9S, three months after the
accident occurred, and recovered a
verdict for the full amount sued foi,
$5000. This tbe court reduced to (2500,
,nd . ,ppeal WM uken t0 the eDpreme
court, where the case is still pending.
This case is brought on a different
ground, for the benefit of the father in
stead of the son, on the grounds above
stated. It is also alleged by the plaintiff
that since tbe former trial tbe boy, in
consequence of the ii juries received, has
bad fits, and gone into convulsions and
become peevish, disobedient and quar
relsome, as be had not been before; tbat
be will continue to grow worse, and bis
parents will not only lose bis services
in fatare but will be required to con
tinually nurse and provide medical at
tendance and medicines for him ; which
condition and circumstances were not
known at the time of tbe former trial.

The Regulator was very late in reach

caused by loading cattle at Lyle, which

Capt. H. L. Wells, of Company L. has
been delivering a lecture throughout the
state regarding experiences during tbe
Philippine campaign and particularly
those of . Company L, which bas been
greatly appreciated and well spoken of j
by the papers. Dalles people will be
glad to know that the captain will vieit
our city on the evening of Oct.5tb and
speak in the Vogt opera house. He will
bring with him a stereopticcn and g:ve
views which will add much to the in
terest of the lecture.
Among the stereoscopic views of the
Philippine campaign" is one especially
interesting to Dalles people. Sitting up
on tbe embankment f the fifth trench
at Malabon is E l Lmison, looking as
natural as life, but gazing complacently
at two dead Filipinos lying in tbe
trench. The picture is a perfect one,
and gives an idea of tbe horrible scenes
which become to familiar to soldiers.
Earl Sanders is agent for these views,
and will begin delivering them tomor
row. Misfortune seems to be following Mr.
and Mrs. Chas. Johnson, who are now
in Portland, Mr. Johnson having been
in the hospital there for some weeks.
Sunday their little daughter, Irene, who
is about 3 years old, was playing at the
window in the second story cf Mrs,
Johnson a aunt's leeidence, when sbe
fell cut. Sbe was very badly hurt, ber
face being severely bruised and her arm
broken in three places. It is not how
ever, thought that sbe has suffered any
internal injury, but that she will get
along all right. The shock to the
parents was very great, especially to Mr.
Johnson, who is just able to walk about
a little.
A cannon was shipped to this city,
from Portland, last night, and will be
placed in position under tbe direction of
Mavor C. P. Bishop, today, to be bred
in honor of tbe arrival of Admiral George
Dewey, on American soil. The govern
or's office will receive notice, by tele
graph, from New York city, the moment
Admiral Dewey sets foot on land, and,
upon a signal from the capitol, the can
non will be fired in an admiral's salute
seventeen guns. Jt is expected mat tne
reception to the admiral (and be will
land at tbat time) will take place to
morrow, aod not only New York city,
but tbe capital of every state, and all
the large cities throughout the United
States will celebrate bis landing at that
time. Salem Statesman.

And now as to the name of the new
tjwnsite, abo'it which much bas already
been said. While Mr. Scherneckan was
a respected cit z?n of thi section for
some years and a very popular one also,
it would seem that as J. H. Ward, lather
of Tom Ward of our city, was the second
oldest inhabitant of that plce, having
settled there in '03 and remained seven

County Cleik Kelsay basjust returned
from a trip into the Antelope country,
and through Sherman county. He
visited the famous Silver King mine, on
Trout Creek, near Antelope, and tells
us things are lively in that section. At
the little mining town of Aehwood they
are balding a two-story hotel, have
bank, a general merchandise store and
saloon, beside many houses, barns, etc.,
which go to make up such a town. At
the mine they have a large amount of
ricn ore on tne dumps and are shipping
it out by six-horse teams to More. A
great deal of machinery for operating tbe
mine has been purchased and is now on
the way. Prospectors are numerous in
tbat section and while prospecting is
yet in a crude state, everyone bas rea
son to feel encouraged.
About twenty-five of tbeir most in

amusinggame was played which brought
the initials of the guests names into
prominence and pozsled tbeir wits to
answer the questions with only words
which began with those letters. Some
of the combinations were comical in tbe
extreme, particularly tboee in answer to
the question, "What is your opinion of
woman's suffrage," and it was remark-
aoie to note the number of young ladies
who seem to have no tendencies in that
line. It is said tbe gentlemen friends of
tbe ladies played even by enjoying a
stag party at tbe home of one of their
number, but as we have heard no ac
count of broken furniture or arrests in
consequence, we judge tbe social
function was postponed.

also the telegrams and letters of con-1

abroad. Another feature which greatlv
pleased Mr. and Mrs. Mays was the

them such a delightful serenade. This
happy thought of the members of the
band will ever be cherished by them,
particularly so as Mrs. Mays' invalid
condition prevents her enjojin; their
music so often as do thoe who are in

will resound in her ears for many years,
and lighten ber hours of suffering.
