treasurer $7761 44, taxes collected daring
tbe month of January.
"I was at the head of my class today,
Pa." "That's good." "Yea. teacher

about th' last being first."
Prof. Sandvig announces that his
dancing classes and regular soirees on
Wednesday and Saturday nights will be
held as usual this week, the company
which was to occupy the ball failing to
fill their engagement.
They're baying them in batches of
four. Every man seems to realize the
great snap A. M. Williams A Co. are
offering in Manhattan cbirts at a dollar.
They're going going, and the first
thing' yon know-- they'll be gone.
Catch on?
Dalles people are constantly clamor
ing for good plays, and now that one of
Frobman's companies is to present such
a play as "The Little Minister" In oar
city, they should show their apprecia
tion by giving It such a house as few
companies are greeted with.
Eight hundred delegates attended the
League of Republican Clubs in Portland
yesterday, which, with the large number
o( spectators present, made an enthusi
astic gathering of Republicans. The
Dalles, however, did not loom up very
auspiciously, although she is not lack
Ing when it comes to politicians of that
popular faith.
Arthur Crelghton, of 3-Mile, will
probably be laid up for a month with a
lame foot, caused by a bad cut which he
received yesterday afternoon. While
cutting the limbs off of some trees the
xe slipped and struck his right foot, in
meting a severe wound. Tbe young
man was brought into the city and Dr
Logan found it necessary to take about
a dozen stitches.
An immense crowd attended the Mid
winter Campmoeting last night to listen
to Rev. D. V, Poling, who spoke on
"The Glory of the Physical and Spirit
ual Life." His address was most ef
fective and at the close of the service
four persons were converted, making fif
teen converts since the meetings began.
RfV. Hawk and the young people of the
Epworth League will be at the camp
meeting tonight.
If the CiiKoxici.E force isn't clean it
will not be through any neglect of D. C.
Bowers, who called this morning and
left us a generous supply of the Colum
bia Star Mfg. Co.'s soaps of all kinds.
A printing office Is a splendid place to
test anything in that line, and having
had previous experience with this par
ticular brand, (since which time our
devil has found it necessary to use no
other) we can recommend it.
Mrs. Robert Lowe.of Fairfield district,
has many friends in The Dalles, who
will be pleased to learn that Mr. Lowe
returned last night from Portland bring
ing word that the physicians now give
the most encouraging reports concern
ing hid wife's condition. Mrs. Lowe
left for Portland about a month ago and
entered the Good .Samaritan hospital.
A week ago she underwent an opera
tion for a tumor, and is now in a fair
way to recovery.
In Idaho a unique suit for damages
has Imen filed by a hobo against the
Oregon Short Line. The hobo recites
that he was stealing a ride, being located
on tho brake rods underneath car,
that he sustained the injuries received
owing entirely to the fact that servants
of the corporation knew he was there
without right and did not put him off as
was their duty, and that through their
gross negligence he sustained the inju
ries for which he claims damages. Owing
to the peculiar claim the attorneys of
the road are deeply Interested In the
case.
To the already large assortment of
hooks in the public library the following
have recently been added: "Red Pot
tage" by Mary Cholmondeley j "Cyrano
de Bergerac" by Edmund Rostand; "In
Connection With the Willoughby
CUim," Frances Hodgson Burnett;
"Janice Meredith," Paul Leicester
Ford; "The Woikers,"(two volumes)
Walter A. WyckofT; "Friend Olivia,"
Amelia E. Barr; "A Knight of the
Nets," imella Barr; "Pembroke" Mary
K. Wilklns; "Fables in Slang," George
Ade; "The Abbe Constantine," Ludovic
Halcvy.
If the ordor of the Artisans were not
benefited by the address of Rev. O. W.
Grannis In its behalf last night at the
Congregational church, It would be un
countable, for more effective and
fclnatlng speaker would be . hard to
f nd. While leaving out not a Jot or a
tittle of the facts necessary to a thorough
understanding of the workings of the
order, he clothed them in such an at
tractive manner that the triteness ot
the bare facts and figures was lost and
tbe audience was interested throughout.
Mr. Grannia is witty and at tbe same
logxil. The audience should have been
much larger to do justice to the speaker.
As a preliminary to the work which
the ladies of the W. C. T. U. are about
to enter npon and as a means ot becom
ing better acquainted, a reception was
held at the Christian church yesterday
afternoon, a large number being present.
A short program, consisting of a hymn
by tbe Union ; a grapljophone solo
"Nearer My God to Thee;" recitation,
Miss Maud Dustio ; solo, Edna Barnett,
and a coronet solo by the graphophone
occupied the early part of the afternoon,
and a reception followed. Banded to
gether, as they are, in such a noble
work a feeling of sympathy existed
which made their first fecial session a
most happy one.
Wm. Vanbibber, who is out at all
times of the nigbt with his milk wagon,
says tbe storm ot Monday night was the
most severe be bas ever encountered in
The Dalles, compelling him at one time
to slop bis borse and got out of tbe
wagon until its furor ceased. It seems
that the storm was general, as a Spo
kane paper says : "For eight hours last
night a terrific windstorm raged all over
eastern Washington. It increased in
violence until its velocity was over thirty
miles an hour. Every wire connecting
Spokane with tbe outside world was
prostrated by 2 a. m. West of tbe
mountains tbe wires east, we6t, north
and south went down before 1 o'clock
and news reports were shut off at that
hour. , Telephone lines were seriously
interfered with in Spokane, and there
were few connections able to communi
cate with "central." Tbe wind was
from the southwest. Pedestrians on tbe
down town streets found locomotion
difficult. It was warm work making
one's way bofore the fierce gale, while
traveling with the gale it was still more
difficult to prevent a record breaking
gait."
Thursday's Dally
Sloan P. Shutt seems to have a mania
for starting newspapers, and his next
venture will be in Granite, where be is
to establish tbe Granite News. His
outfit is now on the way there and wot k-
men are putting up an office building at
that place.
Sophia Stnckup will read a paper on
woman's rights at the Single Blessed
ness society Monday night, and Mary
Ann Ruggles will favor the society with
a solo "No One to Love," which is ex
tremely impressive, particularly to those
in convention assembled.
This time the motto Is wrong. Every
thing don't come to the man who waits,
that la if he waits too long in taking ad
vantage of that shirt sale at Williams &
Co.'s. Manhattan's at a dollar, are
proving a great drawing .card lor this
firm. But that price wont last.
Elder W. B. Clifton, of the Calvary
Baptist .church, will preach at the Sal
vation Army barracks tonight. Subject
"What Is it to Believe in Christ."
Services will commence at S p. m. Song
and testimony service will be held a few
minutes bp lore the sermon. Please
bring Gospel Hymns 1, 2, 3 and 4.
The first death from smallpox in Moro
occurred this morning when T. M. An
derson, a man well known at that place,
died from the disease. Although his
was said to be the worst case they have
Lad in Moro, it was not thought It
would prove fatal. Mr. Anderson is a
man of about 45 years and a member of
the Woodmen and also Cedar Circle.
Up to about a year ago he was engaged
in farming, and since that time was em
ployed in tbe Co'umbia Southern sur
vey. The double quartet choir of the Con
gregational church, assisted by ten ad
ditional voices, will give concert in the
near future at the church. The object
is to so increase the organ fund as to en
able them to place a first-class organ
in tbe church. Work of rehearsing bas
already begun and future notice will be
given later.
At the biennial meeting of the Oregon
Republican Editorial Association, held
in Portland, the following officers were
elected for the ensuing t wo years : Pres
ident, D. M. C. Gault, Hlllsboro; sec
retary, Wm J. Clark, Gervais ; treasurer,
8. 5. Train, Albany; executive com
mittee, J. B. Eddy, Forest Grove; J. R.
Whitney, Albany; C. L. Ireland, Moro.
Advance Agent Keena's presence to
day bas awakened a renewed interest in
the presentation of the "Little Minister"
next Thursday night by the Frohman
company, and seats are beginning to go
already. Call at Clarke A Falk'a and
get yours, for If we are fooled as to the
merit of this company then are all the
newspapers where they have appeared
responsible, and their notices are de
cidedly misleading.
Our roads and those throughout the
country south of us are becoming fam
ous, but it is a fame which is not envi
able. E. P. Marshall, one of Umatilla's
leading stockmen, who has just re
turned to Pendleton from here, tells the
East Oregonian that he found some of
the worst roadi over which he ever
traveled a vehicle. Mud was so deep
tnat in many places it has been neces
sary to tear down fences and travel in the
fields.
Many of our people seem at a loss to
understand what Is the true nature of
tbe organixation known as the "Yonng
Ladies Siofle Blessedness Debating So
ciety," or as some choose to term if'The
Old Maids' Convention." Its workings
are ot a strictly secret nature ; but as a
public meeting is to be held at the Bald
win Monday night, and all are invited
to attend, tbe public need not be Ig
norant of its workings. An admlsssion
of 25 .wnte will be charged to defray the
expenses of the delegates who come
from abroad.
Yesterday morning two Dalles young
people left tbe city for Portland giving
no intimation of tbe important nature
of their visit, but later in the day some
how it crept out that word had been
sent back for a marriage license, and
today news reached here that Fred
Burchtoifand Leon a Gosser were mar
ried at the metropolis this morning.
Nothing further concerning the cere
mony was given. Both the bride aod
groom are well thought ot in The Dalles,
as such worthy young people would be
esteemed wherever their lot is cast; but
at the same time they will have to
answer to their friends forgoing back on
Tbe Dalles when it comes to soch an
important transaction.
Allen Edwards has been arrested in
The Dalles for forgery. It is believed
by the officers in this city that this is
the same individual who operated with
success in Walla Walla about two weeks
ago. The forgerer succeeded in (heating
business men out of $44 by giving them
bogus checks. The signature which ap
peared on tbe checks was George E.
Allen. There is good reason to believe
that tlie Dalles forgerer and Allen are
one and the same man. Union. Mar
shal Hughes received word from the
officers rtt Walla Walla regarding Ed
wards, but after investigation does not
believe he is the came man.
The efforts of Gov. T. T. Geer, regard
ing the interment of deceased Oregon
volunteers on Oregon soil, which has
been resisted by the war department
at Washington, is at last bearing fruit
Tuesday the governor received a tele
gram from the war department announc
ing that a change had taken place in the
plans of the secretary, and that the au
thorities had decided to deliver the dead
of the Oregon regiment to the state's
officers fornterment. The military au
thorities have purchased a most beauti
ful plot of ground in Riverview cemetery,
at Portland, one or the most sightly
cemeteries In the state, wherein to lay
to rest the brave dead of the Oregon
regiment. This plot of ground is ample
to bury all of the deceased members of
the regiment, and tbe authorities pro
pose to make the spot as beautiful as
possible. When the bodies arrive it is
proposed to hold fitting services in their
honor, and to inter them all at tbe same
time.
Every city is justifiable in guarding
jealously Its Interests; but when in so
doing the welfare of neighboring cities
is criminally jeopardized, then should
soiuo menus be used to thwart Buch pro
ceedings. Such a course, it seems, is
being pursued by some of our Eastern
Oregon towns regarding the presence of
smallpox In their midst. While travel
ing men and Others coming from Baker
City have reported an epidemic of that
disease there, the newspapers have
steadfastly refused to acknowledge the
fact, and it is said have thus caused it to
spread to thei.' neighboring town. A
Portland man who came down to Pendle
ton from that place the first of the week
says be ascertained by personal investi
gation that the town is full of it, and
three patients have recently died,
proving there are at least some genuine
cases. Be tbe disease what it may, it
is certainly loathsome enough to cause
the greatest caution to be used, and its
presence in any town should not be dis
guised. As was feared, smallpox has developed
in the Mullikin family, who were ex
posed by visitors from Moro, Mrs.
Mullikin and ber little daughter having
broken out with the disease this morn
ing. When the Poole family left bere
two weeks ago the Mullikin were quar
antined and the children taken out of
the school. It will be remembered at
that time that the wife raised some
objection, deeming it unnecessary, but,
so far as we can learn, tbe quarantine
has been enforced, which now proves to
have been the proper course, and has no
doubt prevented the entire city trom be
ing exposed. Another thing In favor of
the cuy is the fact that the family lives
sofaroutof town, or rather the thick
ly settled portion, residing this side of
Thompson's addition. The strictest
quarantine is being enforced and it is
not thought there is immediate danger
of contagion. It is well, however, for
all to be guarded in view of tbe experi
ence ot other towns.
Friday
We are pleased to state that City
Bnpt. Landers is again able to resume
his school duties today after several days
illness.
During January more postage stamps
were told in the United States than dur
ing any previous month in its history.
Compared with January 1300 the In
crease was Vi per cent. The total num
ber Issued was 457,048,645 of a value of
f!),105,llrt.
Fatter Sunday is on April 15 this year
and Lent commences February 28. The
date for Easter is unusually late, and in
fact Is within one week of tbe latest
possible date for the feast. Tbe setting
of the date la by means of the Paschal
moon, and on tbls account it is Impoe-
sible for it to come earlier than March
21 or later tban April 25.
We will soon have another train pass
ing through The Lalles, which will leave
Portland in the morning. The officials
of the Union Pacific, the Oregon Short
Line and tbe O. R. A N. met in Salt
Lake Wednesday aod decided to place in
service a second through train.' No par
ticulars have been received in Th Dalles
as to bow soon the new train will be
put on:
Charity Longface, a delegate to the
"Old Maids' convention," has sent word
that the will favor tbe members with
new selection entitled "Ben Bolt." As
those interested are desirous of knowiug
where Ben Bolted, it will be a principal
feature of the evening. Betsy Bobbett
will also read a touchlngpiece of original
poetry, which fairly melta the conven
tion to tears.
beats are now on sale at Clarke A
Falk'a for tbe "Little Minister." In
every city where tbe company has ap
peared, the advance agent informs us
they have placed reserved seats at f 1.50
Dalies people, however, do not take
kindly to such prices, and $1, 75 and 50
cents will be charged. Our people are
fortunate in having an opportunity to
near this company and should patron
ize it accordingly.
A battle royal was being waged on the
hill near the Christian church yeeterday
between tbe young British and Boers,
and as tbe conflict reached its height
and imaginary soldiers were falling on
all aides, a private citizen passed that
way. "British or Boers" shouted the
young enthusiasts as they started toward
him. "Kentuckian" he answered, and
both armies fell back, while a little fel
low shouted : "Guess we'll let you pass
At the annual meeting of tbe Colum

The W. C. T. U. sent for County Sur
veyor Goit to locate the eastern boundry
line of our town. Mr. Golt came from
The Dalles on Monday and did the work.
His survey showed that the bunk bouse
of the Lost Lake Lumber company was
42 feet east of the corporation line. This
disqualifies about 25 workmen, who
make their home at the bunk bouse,
from voting for town officers. These
men voted at the late town election, and
most of them signed the petition for tbe
saloon license. Glacier.
An agent was in our town a few days

At the urgent request ot their many
friends the young ladies (?; of the Single
Blessedness Debating Society have de
cided to place on sale tomorrow morn
ing at Blakeley A Houghton's reserved
seats for the convention Monday even
ing at the Baldwin. The price of admis
sion will be 25 cent, with no extra
charge for reserved seats. At the close of
tbe session a reception will be held at
which the "old maids"and their friends
will "trip the light fantastic." Re

Yesterday afternoon Dr. Belle Rine
hart was called to the farm of her father,
D. J. Cooper, on 10-Mile to attend her
brother Cyrus, who was suffering with a
broken leg. He was riding horseback
into the barn when a hcrse kicked at the
animal be hns riding and struck bis left
leg between tbe knee and ankle. While
the break is not a very serious one, it
comes doubiy bard to tbe young man,
who was already slightly lame from
spinal trouble. After the doctor had set
his leg, he was carefully arranged In a
buggy and brought to his home in the
city.
A great many people are laboring
nnder the impression that the portage
read, now being constructed from Grand
Dalles to Columbus, will come to Crate's
Point and transfer to steamers t that
place, but such is not the case. The
Central Navigation A Construction Com
pany has not secured the right-of-way
through A. H. Curtis' place and will,
therefore, come to a point opposite
Seufurt's canrery and there transfer tc
steamers, unless The Dalles has the
long-talked-of bridge across the narrows
by the time they reach that point, w hich
is not likely. --I'ioneer.
One of the most clever aod forceful
newspaper writers on tho coast and one
who has been connected with the Ore
gonian for some time, is J. W. Redding
ton. No matter what subject that writer
tackles, be it the prosiest or the most
sensational, the most is made of it, and
the reader's attention is attracted and
held. We understand Mr. Reddington
has leased the Heppncr Gazette and
issues the first number nnder its new
management this week. This Is not a
new field for this popular icurnaliat. for
Heppner was his old stamping giound,
where be formerly wrote for the Gasette.
It is said that a few evenings sines as
Rev. Frank Spaulding was on his way
from his home at Belmont, near Hood
River, to attend an oyster supper at a
neighbor's some distance away, he met
with an accident which verified the
Biblical statement, that "without are
dos." Wending his way along singing
"as pants the heart,' a savage dog
jumped out and grabbing Lis trouser leg
at the knee, ripped it open to the ground.
Evidently tbe dog was desirous of
(increasing bis own pants at Mr.
spauiaings expense; but tie made
mistake when he tackled a minister,
who s pants generally bag at the knee,
and it was fortunate in this particular
instance that such is the case, otherwise
the beast most have taken off a good
share of tbe bark.
At tbe time of the death of Mrs. M. J.
Beesley some months since at the home
of her daughter, Mrs. G rover Simpson,
In Chicago, ber remains were Interred
in a vault there with the intention of
removing them to The Dalles at an
early date, where they might rest beside
those of her late husband, Joseph Beex
ley. It was expected Mr. and Mrs.
Simpson would arrive on tbe 14th with
the body, but a telegram received by
Mrs. C. J. Crandall this morning in
forms her they will reach here on Sun
day afternoon, the 10th. While no ar
rangements have as yet been made for
the funeral, it is expected it will be held
at tbe Methodist church Monday. How
ever, tbe friends of the deceased (for she
had a large number in Tbe Dalles) are
requested to watch the papers tomorrow,
when further particulars will be given.
BENSON A BIGAMIST.
Former Dalles Marber Marrlea An
Albany Girl Before Ha la Divorced
From No, 1,
Charles Benson, who was employed
in Parkins' barber shop for a few months
last fall, has gotten into serious difficulty
in Albany. Although at first he seemed
to be a worthy fellow, Mr. Paikins soon
diecoveied he did not meet his financial
obligations, and at the time of the fistial
encounter, which took place down the
river, he took such a decided interest in
the disgraceful affair that his employer,
deciding he bad no further use for him,
gave him his walking papers. He then
left town, leaving bills to the amount of
about $110.
While here Benson employed a lawyer
and commenced divorce proceedings
against bis wife, but suspicioning Mm,
the lawyer dropped tbe matter, and has
since learned that he cheated Salem
lawyers in the same kind of a deal, and
pPovcd himself an all-around bilk.
It is taid that the Miss Watts, whom
he married in Albany last Saturday,
visited him in this city last fall.
The Albany Herald has the following
concerning his escapade there:
"Charles G.L. Benson, the Broadntbin-
street barber, left town Friday night
and has not been heard from since.
Benson came to town several months
ago and purchased the barber shop back
of Young's store. He represented that
he had been married, but was divorced.
Shortly after coming to town he com
menced to keep company, with Miss
Erma Watts, and last Saturday night
they were married. Friday morning a
woman came to town who claims she is
Benson's legal wife, and had never
secured a divorce. Benson hired a bug
gy at the livery stable, and, as near as
can he learned, drove to Shedd Friday
night and stopped at that town until
Saturday morning, when he left for
Independence, probably crossing the
river at Peoria. He was accompanied
by Mis. Watts and Mis. Benson No. 2,
but the former returned yesterday morn
ing and her daughter came back with
the buggy late in the afternoon. Benson
evidently headed for Portland, and as
he has about f-'fiX), borrowed from his
new mother-in-law, he will be able to
keep moving, as there seems to be no
one particulaily anxious to bead bim
off."
A Mild Type or iallpo.
The same disease, which has been de
ter mined as smallpox aud is creating
such a sensation on the coast, seems to
be prevalent throughout the states, and
physicians everywhere are investigating
it. Among the literature recently sent
out by the Minnesota state board of
health the most important is from the
pen of Dr. M. Welch, of Philadelphia,
and seems to solve the question.
He takes the ground that the present
disease now going the rounds of many
of tbe northern slates has its source in
the very mild epidemlo of smallpox that
prevailed in the south two or three years
ago. It was there very Irequently diag
nosed as chicken-pox, in fact, the pro
fession was about equally divided on the
point. But the disease was ever ot a
mild type and rarely resulted fatally.
Not infrequently patients kept about
their tasks and youths at the quarantine
losnitals often would while away the
line by playing ball.
Tho disease followed much the same
course in the northern states, pnysi-
ians often failing into the error of
diagnosing it as chicken-pox, and con
sidering tiie unprecedented mtldues of
the disease, Dr. Welch says he is not at
all surprised at the disagreements lu
diagnosis. After a tlu ly of twenty.
nine years in hospital work covering
5500 cases, be says he has never seen
casts of uniformity so mild a type, nor
j ran he find a similar epidemic in this or
any other country. Previous to Nov. I
ot last year he had 123 cases, without a
single death. In the smallpox epidemic
of 191 in Philadelphia the mortality
was .18 in tbe uavaccinated, and thersj
was an average of 53 per cent lo all
other epidemics in that city back to
1S70,
The average death rate during the
eighteenth century was about 40 per
cent. The mortality from the present
epidemic he declares is practically nil.
Why the disease should present itself in
such an unprecedented mild form is a
question that he will not undertake to
answer, but there can be no doubt of its
being genuine smallpox, he avers.

The Little MlnUter.
Charles Frohman will offer onr theater
goers a great treat w hen he will present
the comedy "Tbe Little Minister,"
adapted by J. M. Barrie from his famous
and popular novel of that name. Un
doubtedly this play holds the record for
phenominal business. The engagement
in New York extended over a period, of
300 nights, . and played to bouses at
every performance that packed the
theater to the doors. It was only taken
off to give tho company a much needed
rest. Since the comedy was sent on the
road the business it did in New York
has been repeated wherever it has been
seen. Tbe Boston engagement was
remarkable. It was necessary to give
extra matinees at tbe Hollis Street
theater dnring Its run there in order to
accommodate the people desirions of
seeing tbe play. Great care has been
used In the selection of the company.
Its presentation bere will be in every
re? pec t a perfect one and is sure to be
greeted by a splendid audience on the
15th at tbe Vcgt.
