Blessedness Debating Society nextTaes
day evening, and old bachelors will not

To accommodate their patrons Pease
& Mays have decided to keep their store
open until 8 o'clock Saturday nights, it
having proven inconvenient to a large
number who are compelled to do shop
ping that evening to have them clote at
6-
The first deaths in Spokane from
smallpox occurred Monday afternoon,
when two patients at the pest house
succumbed to tne disease. Out of 125
caBes wnich have been reported at that
place since last spring, these are the first
fatal cases.
When the Granta-Goldendale . stage
reached the latter place Monday they
brought with them the body of J. B
Burrell, of Seattle, traveling salesman
for a Missouri firm. He died suddenly
on the road, the cause apparently being
heart trouble.
John Waldron came to the conclusion
this morning that it doesn't pay to be
a vagrant, and promised Marshal Hughes
he would endeavor to obtain a job on
the portage road if he wen but turned
loose. He was given a trial, but the
next time will be compelled to pay bis
fine.
The special meetings hare been con
tinuing daring the week at the Meth
odist church, and will close tomorrow
night. All are especially invited to be
present at the two closing services,
which it is anticipated will be the best
of all, though much good has been done
throughout the entire series of meetings.
Mrs. YV. 8. Halllman, who was injured
ten days ago when the wagon tipped
over on the Mill creek road as she was
on her way to the Wick'a place, is still
condned to ber bed. The physician has
given her permission to attempt to walk
with crutches tomorrow. Her husband,
W. S. Halliman, arrived last night from
Ojwego to visit her.
The examining physician has d eel i red
IIuh Brown, the prisoner at the county
j til, insane and commitment papers hav
ing been made out, he will be taken to
the asylum tomorrow. No dcubt a strict
watch will be kept over him, for it is not
unlikely he may yet show them that a
man of his character can feign insanity
so that the sharpest cannot detect it.
A new salmon cannery is to be r ut op
at Rooster Rock, below the Cascades,
work having been begun on the same,
and it is expected the building, which
will be 200x60 feet, will be com pit ted
by May lit, in lime to handle the Inlk
of the spring run of fish. The cannery
will be built by the Columbia River
Packer's Association, which will also
construct two or three fish wheels to
supply the fish.
Portland seems to be particularly un
fortunate within the past few months
or year in the fatality among her promi
nent citizens. Edward Failing, a pioneer
merchant and one of ber best known
citizens, being the last to paea away,
bavin? died at bis residence in that city
Monday night. Mr. Failing came to
Portland in 1851 and baa teen promi
nently allied with its business interests
since that time.
The festivities of China new year in
The Dalles have ceased to a great xtent,
death having entered the abode of one
of their leading merchants, Dock Sin,
and taken bis wife, the mother of little
CUue, of whom we spoke yesterday.
The woman has been sick for four or five
year with c nicer and this morolog at 6
o'clock died. They will lury her to
morrow afternoon. Little Chuj will
not lack friends to care for him, Judging
from the attentions which are constant
ly given him by all the Chinese here.
The Regulator Is to have a new purser
tomorrow, Fred Bronson having re
signed and Lawrence Ainsworth taking
charge. Mr. Alniworth has been in the
employ of the D. P. A A. N. Co. for
some time In Portland and during the
fall in The Dalles office, and having
proven himself trustworthy, competent,
nd a yonng man of splendid habits,
the directors have perfect confidence In
him. Having come frem a family who
for years have been connected with
steamboat interests he also takes natural
ly to the work.
Tlmt interesting historical magazine,
the "Oregon Native Son," for January,
is on our table. It Is highly illustrated
with pictures of scenery In the North
west and portraits of many ol the early
pioneers. Among them being four
of the pioneer Methodist missionaries
The work undertaken by the Native
Son to publish the nnwritten history ot
the original Oregon, and descriptive
articles of the magnificent scenery, lakes
and mountainsot the Northwest abound
ing hereabouts, is deserving of much
credit and show of appreciatien. Everv
article is from the pen of an authorita-
tive writer, and is couched in language
and style especially suited to evening
reading around the home circle.
The Kangaroo court, which hold
forth at the county jail, got in its wtrk
this niorniog in great shape when
O brief, alias Campbell, entered their
august presence. It is a strict role of
the court that each stranger be initiated
and pnt up a certain amonnt as fees, to
be need for the purchase of tobaco and
other luxuries. As Campbell pur
potted to oe a traveling man of means
the decision was that he be taxed $
The new arrival seuously and strenu
uously objected, until it was found nee
eesary to put him tbiough a course of
sprouts, and be was taken over one of
the Kangaroo's kneeBand chastised nntil
be declared had he been aware of the
goat he had to ride he should have used
some of the tinware he carried as a lin
ing to bis trousers. But a compromise
was made and the boys succeeded in
getting a dollar out of him, as well as a
whole lot of fun.
Thursday's Dailv.
- I tie talk about coal in Ihe Dalles is
a) far from the surface as the coal itself
and if a reporter mentions coal they get
the coal shoulder.
The latest report, which reached here
from Kentucky at aoon, says Goebel
still lives, though it was not tbonght he
would survive long. y
The regular dancing club party will
take place tomorrow night at the Bald
win. There are but four more parties
in the series, which have been so enjoy
able to the participants.
On account of the smallpox scare in
places where the Noble Dramatic Com
pany were booked to play, they wjll
make The Dalles an nnexpected visit,
playing in the Baldwin ail next wetk.
Hugh Brown, who was taken to the
asylum by Deputy Sexton today, may
not have been insane, but he was too
weak to do any harm, having eaten
nothing for ten days.
Nes. Simon son is confined to his home
by illness, which it was feared jesterday
would prove to be appendicitis. Many
of his friends are, however, ready to say
Nes is downed by the defeat of the
English. '
Charles Dexter, who was formerly
employed in the O R. & N. company's
office here, but for some time has been
city ticket agent at Spokane, yesterday
entered upon his new duties as soliciting
freight agent for the company.
About twenty of the ladies of St
Paul's Guild were delightfully enter
tained at the borne of Mrs. Harris yes
terday afternoon. During the afternoon
the hostess terved refreshments and the
meeting partook much of the nature of
a reception, although important matters
connected with the work of the Guild
were not forgotten.
We actually began to wonder if
Christmas comes twice a year when we
saw several large trees being taken into
the Salyation Army hall this morning.
But upon Inquiry we found the army Is
to conduct a mid-winter campmreting,
beginning Saturday and continuing until
the 15th. Brigadier General Marshall
and wife are to be present and we notice
that several of our lecal ministers, in
connection with their yonng people's
societies, will conduct meetings on dif
ferent evenings.
The little Star, which we find has
descended to our table, says: "Kickers
say the marshal won't take a bit of
notice of the condition of the sidewalk
at the top of the Court street steps."
He can't help it if he walks over it;
neither can the pedestrians. But if
some one doesn't notice it soon there'll
be some broken legs to be mended.
Sunday at Spokane, Frances M. Bald
win, formerly of this city and a sister of
J. M. Baldwin, who was connected with
the Ciibonicle office, was united In
marriage with Henry L. Imhoff, of
Davenport. Miss Baldwin is a young
woman greatly admired by all for ber
gentle, womanly character, and her
Dalles friends extend their best wishes
to her In her new relation in life.
Tuesday night Dr. Harry Littlefleld
left Portland for Ashevllle, N. C, where
he will be house surgeon at the Winyah
sanitarium. It will be a great satisfac
slon to Mrs. Bradshaw to have her
brother with her, which was his main
object in seeking a position in the sani
tarium. Mrs. Bradshaw assures her
friends hero that she Is Impiovingand
Is much encouraged.
A dispatch which was received yester
day from several of the delegates to the
old maid's convention, which was to
have been held Tuesday evening, In
forms the members in this city that on
account of the muddy condition of some
of The Dalles crosswalks and the absence
of street lights, they will be compelled
to delay the convention for one week
and will arrive when the streets are in
a better coudition and they have put
their lanterns In trim for use.
A Chinese funeral, conducted In the
customary manner', Is not often seen in
The Dalles. That of the wife of Dock
Sing, the merchant, which took place
this afternoon, wa perhaps as near it
as any ever held here, although it was
not nearly so elaborate as those seen
in cities. The service which took
place at the house was equal to a circus
to those who could not understand their
meaning. After arranging the b-jdy in
the coffin il was carried onto the side
walk and a ceremony of a half hour's
length took place, composed of all man
ner of maneuvers which were "Greek"
or "China" to the spectators. Among
other things a table was set, with all
sorts of eatables thereon, and the coffin
placed nigh so that the deceased could
eat. A long procession of carriages
filled with Chinese followed the remains
to their burying ground, adjoining the
city cmetery, and on the hearse sat a
Chinaman tossini abroad small pieces
of paper filled with boles, through
which it is said the devil must pass be
fore reaching the departed. There were
perhaps 200 people at the cemetery,
where tapers were burned and another
long ceremony took place. Here all of
the belongings of the dead woman, no
matter how elegant nor costly, were
piled np and burned, and as the grave
was filled in, all kinds of food was
thrown In, upon which she is supposed
to feed on her long journey.
Friday's Dally.
Brigadier and Mrs. Marshal! will lead
the Salvation Army meeting at their
hall on Saturday evening, and at the
Congregational church Sunday after
noon at 2:30. All are invited to come
and enjoy these gospel services.
Ever) one who has read Barrie's "Little
Minister" la anxiously, waiting for its
appearance in our city on the 15th of the
month. The company is said to be an
excellent cre, and all its readers will
tesitfy as to the merits of the book.
Next Tuesday evening Rev. G. W.
Grannie will visit The Dalles in the
Interest of the order of Artisans, and
will speak in the Congregational church
Mr. Grannie is not a stranger to Dalles
people, and is known to be a moct in
teresting speaker; not one of the dry
kind, although he is a strong temperance
worker, but full ot wit and good humor.
Great interest is being awakened
among the AitNans of The Dalles, oc
casloned by the visit of II. G. Sibray,
D. G. M., who is visiting different cities
in the state in the interest of the order,
and informs us a number of members
will be added to the local lodge here at
the next meeting on Wednesday of next
week.
The winter season is passing by,bnt so
far but little severe weather has been
experienced, in fact it has been so
mild that only the occasional frosts have
kept the fruit from too early budding
and the' probable killing by later severe
weather. All indications point to an
early spring and big crops of fruit In
Hood River valley. Sun.
If the ground hog made his appear
ance today he certainly found no reason
for returning to his abode and remaining
there the next six weeks, for he surely
caught not a glicoee of his shadow,. It
is said if he fail to see his shadow, we
are to have tu early spring. It would
rather seem that winter has been en
tertaining spring during the entire
season.
The University Monthly for January
is a splendid number and gives a good
ideaof what the school is accomplishing.
Among other features we note two cuts
one of the Glee Club and -another of
the Treble Clef Club, the latter being
composed of twelve young lady students.
Among them we find a splendid likeness
of Miss Daisie Allaway, of this city, who
sings alto with the club.
Last evening Frank Duffy and a man
named Deed were having a sociable sort
of a fight on Mays A .Crowe's corner,
both of them being intoxicated, when
Marshal Hughes interfered and landed
them in jail. The former plead guilty,
was fined $5, and Is now spending a
short time in jail. Deed did not seem
to have been the aggressor, and was
fined but $3, which he paid.
The elements certainly seem to be
leagued against our streets this winter,
and j nst about the time we have our
minds made np that they are going to
dry up and the crosswalks are becoming
passable, a slight fall of rain will make
them worse, If possible, than before.
This morning snow covered the ground
and during ihe day there has been a
question whether we were to have snow
er rain.
While business at this time of the year
hardly warrants the D. P. A A. N. Co.
in running two steamers, still the
familiar toot of the approaching steam
er la greatly missed when It fails to fall
upon the ear each evening of the week.
However, the boats will soon make
daily visits, as it is expected the Dalles
City will be ready for the run about the
12th of the month. She will be in ex
cellent trim, if anything better than
new.
We have learned that some of our
citizens do not fall in with the idea ad
vanced by Councilman Wilson at a re
cent meeting of the council and second
ed by the Ciihoniilk Wednesday, re
garding the proposed sewer systom. The
Idea is to send a statement of the amount
of taxation which tho new system will
occasion to each person and thus give
them an oppottunlty to have a voice in
the matter. We can see no reason for
objecting to such a plan, for whether a j
citizen be for or against the idea, il is
but just that he be allowed to express
an opinion in regard to the matter.
Tonight the members of the Students'
Literary Debating Society will hold a
moot house of representative. Those
who attended the recent session of the
senate say il was a uuet interesting one,
and as the houe will discuss the leasing
of public lands, visitors will no doubt
find the rueetirg equally as interesting.
It is the intention of the society to have
a number of lectures from local talent
as well as from speakers of other cities.
Next Friday night they propose to have
a lecturer from abroad.
The Latter Day Saints, who have fre
quently of late honored (?) Toe Dalle
wun tneir visits, do not seem to be re
ceiying me "glad Land ' troni our peo
ple and it would seem as though they
ought to take the hint and seek greener
fields. Jf they do not, then tbey should
be given a stronger reason for so doing,
We speak thus emphatically because we
bave been informed they are becoming a
nuisance to the residents in the vicinity
of the pines, annoying the women in
that portion of the city greatly. Thi
should not be tolerated. No person who
enters The Dalles on a miseionjof mercy
or for any good purpose is ever treated
other than hospitably ; but It certainty
appears that these people cannot reason
ably be placed In this category.
In the supreme court Wednesday the
cabe of the State vs Otis Savage was
argued and submitted.- The circum
stances Of the case are still fresh in the
minds of Dalles people, although five
years bave elapsed since Otis Savage and
Frank Klein were arrested for robbing
the Pacific Express office of $14,000,
Klein plead guilty, showing the place
where the money was hid under the
sidewalk on First street, and served out
a sentence in the penitentiary. Not so
Savage, who plead not guilty, was tried,
convicted of grand larceny and sentenced
to four years in the penitentiary. Since
that time he has spent most of his time
on the streets of The Dalles, having ap
pealed to reverse the judgment, assign
ing numerous alleged errors of the court.
To the people of this enlightened and
Christiau age, the superstitions of the
Chinese appear ridiculous and we view
with amazement the forms and cere
monies which were gone through yeeter
day at the funeral of one of their cum
ber. And yet again this morning was a
visit made to the grave, where tapers
were burned thereon and a lunch set by
the side ot the mound. The little ton,
followed by the few companions with
him, made an obeisance and said 'a few
words, w hich one of the Chinese inter
preted as "Good morning, mamma."
I hey then lighted tapers on each grave
in the cemetery, and placing a generous
spread of eatables on the new grave, left
the deceased to enjoy her meal alone.
Generally the spirit of some Weary
Willie happens along and keeps her
compan y at her meal.
As was expected, Hugh Brown's case
has proven to be one in which there was
method in the madness. Such was the
opinion of the officers here, but to prove
the fact was another mattei, for Brown
did the crazy act up to a nicety. To
use every precaution, the sheriff sent a
communication to the superintendent of
the asylum giving him full details of
the case and expressing the opinion that
the Insanity was feigned, at the same
time asking them to use every test
possible. It see .as the latter injunction
was followed, for Brown had been with
in the walls of the asylum but a short
time when he was compelled to confess
to the strategy, and Sheriff Kelly re
ceived word to end back for bis man.
Sexton, therefore, retraced his steps
and will return with bis prisoner to
night. Suspicibning that his pal, Wil-
ron, wa in league with him, and had
probably fed him at nights, the former
was locked in his cell today, and both
will be kept in chains until their case
comes up at this month's term of court.

Editor Chronicle :
Al assembly Wednesday morning the
student body listened to an a.ldres by
IVan Sanderson of the Eugene Divinity
school. Rev. Sanderson said that Ore
gon was not giving her institution Ihe
proper snpport. That the churches
should not endeavor to maintain their
denominational schools, but should lend
their support to the state university
where those of all creeds would meet
and learn to know and have a greater
respect for one another. That the uni
versity now bad a president who was
strong in ability as well as in name.
Ha was sure that the new life that the
university had this year received would
next year bring from 400 to 500 students
to the institution.
The Fhilologian literary society
listened to a prepared address by our
professor of athletics, Chas. Burden.
Prof. Burden gave a summary ot the
records of the past thirty or forty years
to the present. Old records are con
tinuously being broken and with one or
two exceptions, the athlete of today is
developiug a higher macular activity.
One does not see today the pale face
student neglecting his body iu trying to
produce an anomalous brain, but both
are being developed together and better
results are being expected in'both lines.
The society debated this question :
"Resolved, That senators should be
elected by direct vote of the people."
C. E. Copple and J. O. Russel upheld
the affirmative while V. L. Holt, C. W.
Wagner upheld the negative. The neg
ative received the decision. A com
mittee was appointed to extend to Pres
ident Penrose, of Whitman college, an
invitation to deliver a lecture under the
auspices of the society in the near future.
The Laurean society debated the ques
tion : "Resolved, That the contested
teats of ongreesuien and senators
should be refered to the supreme court."
L. E. Hooker and K. C. Miller upheld
tho affirmative and R. S. Smith and
Condon Bean the negative. The affirm
ative won the decision.
The musical students of Prof. W.
Gifford Nash gave a public recital at
V illard Hall Satuiday evening. The
Treble Clef Club also sang a number of
quartet. This was interspersed with
piano solos by Prof. Nash and Arthur
Frazer. The recital was a rare musical
treat.
The first semester examinations com
mence Thursday teu. 1, and continues
until Friday, tbe 9th. These are the
students busy days.
The January number of the U. of O.
Monthly is out. It contains beside a
nnmber of interesting stories, an article
entitled "The Evolution of the Glee
Club" by W. Gifford Nash. A history
of the U. of O. Club and an account of
the Glee Clubs recent trip through
Eastern Oregon by Prof. I. M. Glen.
Half tones of the Glee Club and Treble
Clef Club also appear. Anyone desiring
a copy will receive one by giving his or
her name to Geo. Ruch, Jr.

Ain't Got No Money fos Tackses.
As a sample of the communications
which are daily received by newspapers,
we publish the following from the Eu
gene Guard sent in by an aspirant for
the office of school superintendent,
which should be filled by the best edu
cated man a county can slford. It also
serves to determine from what source
comes the objection to taxation for tbe
benefit of our schools and everything in
connection therewith. The correspond
ent says:
Mister Editer:
I see by the Guard that you uns over
to Ugeen, air goin' to have a nieelin' to
vote a school tacks. I wan't to say a
few words of warnln' to the voters of
your deestrick : -
feller citizens, don t you do it I we
air taxed to death now. Here in our
deeetrict they have jest voted a tacks
that will coat me a dollar on every $1000
I've got, which is a unboiy and unjust
demand. I have labored and saved un
it I've got somethin' nigh $10,000, and
'. ain't got no 10 dollars to waist on
schools, neither bave you my oppressed
comrades. Hannah, she's got some
propity too, but she's rite in fur a tacks.
She went to the meerin' and voted fer
it. Think of that, Mr. Editer, a feller's
own wife votin' squat agin him, and
the law allows her to do that very thing,
bein' as she's got propity in her name.
I give her a talkin to about it, and Mr.
Editer, it was a hart-rendin' trial to
ere the way she persecuted me.
llowsoniever, you men at Ugeen hav
en't got Hanner to make life a burden
for ye, so do all yon can to put down the
oppressin school tacks, lor you 11 need
all your spare money, aeein the election
s romin this year.
Right here I'd like to remark that I
annonce rovseit as a canuydate lor
eountv school superintendent, and I
promise if I am elected to do all I kin
agin these hero extra tackses as is drain-
n us poor feller s pockets, also to en
devor to cut teachers' wages to $10 a
month and board; they can board
around like tbey used to.
Yonrs truly,
OnAniAii Evrrat Oldway.
P. S. If vou print this, Mr. Editer,
kinder fix up the spellin' bo's to make a
good impression on the voters. I ain't
got time to hunt up all the words in the
lu-tionary. Don t send liannera paper
with this in.. O. E. O.
Arretted for Larceny.
Coii'tabta Hill had a lively chase after
a fellow yesterday afternoon, and finally
succeeded in catching him this morn
ing. It will brt remembered that some
time ago Joe Kerchoff had a saddle
stolen from his horse, and could find bo
clew to the thief. A few days sine ha
saw a man riding down the street and
recognizing his saddle, asked him where)
he got it. The man answered that he)
bought it from one C. E. Obrist, who
ha been employed as janitor by Max
V. gt. Immediately Joe informed the
sheriff and Hill was put onto .his track.
He located him at a friend's house) in
the pines above the city, and spent yes
terday afternoon chasing him up, but
learning that he was wanted he succeed
ed In invading the officer.
Hill, however did not give him up, but
finding that he had secured a room on
the boat and intended to leave this morn
ing, was on hand. The officer went to
the door of his stateroom and finally de
luded him into opening the door. He
had shaved his mustache and arranged:
bis hair so that it was difficult to recog
nize him. He gave his name as Camp
bell and said he was traveling for a hard
ware firm in Portland, Mid had come in
from Dufur the night before. Hill, how
ever would not be footed and commanded
bis man to follow him, matched him to
the county jail. He was stil! persistent
but was arralgend on a charge of larceny
and, putting np $100 bonds he was re
leased and his hearing set for thi after
noon at 2 o'clock when it was postponed
until Saturdav at 10.
SPECIAL TAXES.
Levies Msds by Many of Waseo'a School
Districts.
Tho increasing interest in educational
matters throughout the county of lata
years has been very apparent, and, look
ing at it from every point of view.onr
schools were never in a better condition.
Not only are thoso directly connected
with the work fully alive to its every
interest, but the public in general the
property owners and seemingly every
resident of the county, are ready to fall
in with every move for tbe advancement
of their interests. This is perhaps as
well shown by the special tax voted by
the various districts, as In any other
manner. This matter is optional with
tbe districts and so far reports
been received as follows:

Another Forgerer.
In spite of the almost inevitable fate
of the forgerer, every few days some
new case of forgery is brought to light.
The latest was revealed in The Dalles
last night about 6 o'clock, when a fellow.
giving his name as Allen Edward.
