Comparative'y few public cilices
were held by the deceased Indianan,
and the actual duration of his public
service was not long. His only im
portant national posts were repre
sentative in congress and sectetary of
the navy, tbe last of which offices be
held in
the cabinet of President
Hayes. IS'o other man of his day,
however, declined so many Impor
tant posts, administrative and diplo
matic, tendered by presidents as he
did. Among the presidents who
offered him otllces which he did not
accept were Taylor, Lincoln, Grant
and Harrison. As a Whig at the
outset in his active life and as a He-
publican ever since tbc Republican
phrty wag founded, he wrote more
platforms of his own stale and as
sisted in writing more national plat
forms than any other American who
ever lived, lie personally saw every
president of the United States except
Washington and the first Adams, and
was on tcims of intimacy with man)'
of them. In every presidential can
vas from tbat of 1132, when he took
the stump for Clay, he made speches,
even In that of IHOC, in which year
he was a delegate to the St. Louis
convention. A great djal of history
has been made in the United Slates
since I'icbard AV. Thompson first
entered national slation sixty years

A Freight Train Wrecked.
Yesterday morning at 3:30 a west
bound freight was wrecked at Grand
avenue bridge in Portland, smashing
seven flatcars and knocking a bent from
under the bridge. When about a mile
from where the bridge erosces tbe inilch
over the bridge the train broke in two,
and the engineer slowed down. - Just
hack of the break in the train was a
"dead" engine, which was being hinlcd
into town for repairs. Its weight gave
the rear portion of the train great mo
mentum, especially as it was on a down
grade. In soon caught np with the for
ward section, and the two came together
ith a craeh, at the Grand-avenue
bridge. The cars reared up in the air
and took a big "bite" out of the bridge
and then pitched over into the gulch in
indescribable confiuion. A couple of
hobos who were on the train had rattier
a thrilling experience, and ft seems a
miracle that they were not badly Injured
or killed. One was riding the rods on
one of the flatcars which received the
full force of the shock, and the other was
taking it easy in a boxcar.
Rt. Valentin' Ijr.
St. Valentine's dar, which occurs on
February 14th of each year, has been ob
served by civilized folk for many years.
The day wis originally observed in com
! memoralion of St. ValentiDe, a bishop
who was decapitated in A. D. 270, dur
ing the Clandian persecution at Home,
Some, however, trace the custom to tbe
Koman Lapercolla (Feb. 15ih), h?n
practices similar to the modern custom
were observed. There is a legend which
says that on this day birds soled their
mates. Modern writers for valentines,
though they often have little regard for
mankind, have still less repet for
poetic license.

a' to apply to Sadie Lauer as "Micaa
Daw" and Marion Convere, Bibbie'
ejaid, for tlioogh tbe latt?r bad !ees
prominent characters were faiiy as ex
acting. Adcipb Jackson evidently has a con
ception of tbe character of the little
rtiinitter which is hardiy understood
by l.ii aadience. The Oregon ian spoke
of him as appearing "dazed." And such
is the impression given ; more of cte
who is ouuer the bypnotic iufioeDce of
the "littie witch" as he terois her. As
toch he could not have done better;
and no doubt bis is the correet interpre
tation, for looking at it in another light
he lacks enthusiasm acd it woclJ stem
was wanting in the Scotch heartiness.
One of the most taking tilings in the
p!ay was the part which the fonr eiders
carried out so perfectly. Their facial
expressions, poses and niake-ap were
faultless and it is not an unueoal thing
to meet their cocnterpart in every day
life. They afforded much amnsemtnt.
"Bob Daw" as the faithful friend of
his minieter and one who would give
his life lor him was a veritable Scotch
man in tbe whole-souled character he
represented.
It has been some lime since such an
alt-round good company has visited The
Dalles and our people are very grateful
to Mr. Clarke for the pleasure afforded
tbew. Tiie Dalles would soon gain a
reputation a a theater-going commun
ity were e to have many such plays.
SMALL-POX IN TOWN.
Victim Cams From Acroii lha River A
Charge on Ibe Cltj.
A man by the name of McDonald, who
has been working for the Central Con
struction and Navigation Co., came in
town this morning and went into one of
our public buildings in qnestof a doctor.
Me happen d to meet one in the hallway
and was asked what seemed to be the
matter with him. Replying that he did
not know, he took off his bat and the
doctor immediately recognized that the
man had small-pox. McDonald was ad
vised to take a walk to tbe corner of
Third and Washington streets until tbe
authorities could be notified. A couple
ol conncilmen happened to be paeeing
and they in conjunction with the City
marshal decided to take the man im
mediately to the pest bouse which is
located far back in the pines.
It was rather amusing to see Marthal
Hughe on one side of the street and
the afflicted r.ian on the other wending
their way to the place of isolation.
McDonaid is not very bad at present
but a nurse will have to be secured to
take rare of him within a few days. It
seems rather nervy of the fellow to
march in on the population in the man
ner he did as he may be the means of
spreading the disease. The city officials
think also that they are getting the
worst of it but they agree where succor
is needed it must be given.
McDonald stated that more cares
would likely break out in the same
camp he came from, which is located
only a few miles up the river on the
Washington side. It would probably be
well for those in authority to investigate
and should there be any danger, a
quarantine should be placed against any
Irom the camp viaitinj The Dalles. j
He Never Came Back.
Aman giving the name of Lewis Boggs,
who has been about town for a number
of days secured a saddle horse at L. A.
Porter's livery stable last Saturday say-
ing ne wantel to go to W asco. Ho
started but only gotas far as Biggs where
he arranged to lease twelve head ol
horses to a rancher, and hired the man
to ride the saddle-horse to The Dalles,
claiming that his wife bad telegraphed
him that she was very sick, so ba wrs
anxious to return and would come by
train.
Before leaving, however, he told the
rancher he had left a bugzy team aith
Geo. Miller and for him to get it and re
turn to Biggs where he, Hoggs, would
again meet him. The rancher arrived
in this city last evening and Immediate
ly started out to find Mr. Miller, who
had no knowledge of the transaction of

the affair whatever. The authorities
learned of the man beini in town so
bunted, htm up and cured tli3 horee
fur Mr. Porter, who had btcowe some
what alarmed over the absence cf his
property. Ths sequel ol the atfur is
that Bogg hae no wife or team here and
had no intention of returning by train.
He is surely a peculiar man, for bad
he desired he could have dispo.-ed cf li e
horse and outfit, pocketed the money
and gone East on the railroad.
We learn from the eheriff that only
last year Boggs was releiseJ from the
penitentiary where he had been serving
a two-year sentence for stealing a team
from Levi Claike, at Rufur, and couiin
to The Dalles and disposing of it. Tbe
man surely is slightly unbalanced or he
would never have visited the same
vi.'irnty and commit a similar crime.
He has not been located as yet, but
tt e authorities are keeping a sharp look
out for tbe fellow and it ij thought he
will be secured before long.
The claim of other ough medicines to
be as good as Chamberlain' are ttfectu
ally set at rest in the following testi
monial of Mr. 1. D. Glass, an employe
of Bartlett & Dennis Co., Gardiner, Me.
He says: "I had kept adding to a cold
and cough in the winter of 1397, trying
every cough medicine 1 heard of without
permanent help, until one day I was in
the drug store of Mr. Houiehnn and be
advised me to try Chamberlaiu's Cough
Remedy and offered to pay back mv
money if I was not cured. My lungs and
bronchial tubes were very sore at this
time, but I was completely cured by
this remedy, and have since always
tnrned to it when I got a old, and soon
find relief. I also recommend it to my
friends and arn glad to say it is the Lest
of all cough medicines." For sale by
Blakeley & Houghton.

"I hobbled into Mr. Blackmon'a drug
store one evening," says Wetley Nelson,
of Hamilton, Ga., "and he asked me to
try Chamberlain's Pain Balm for rheu
matism with which I had suffered for a
long time. I told him I had no faith in
any medicine as they all failed. He
said: 'Well if Chamberlain's Pain Balm
does not help you, you need not pay for
it.' I took a battle of it home and used
It according to directions and in cne
week I was cured, and have not since
been troubled with rheumatism." Sold
