tion car a thina of beauty and a joy for
ever. Dr. Emmens, the noted chemist,
lately claimed to have made a discovery
whereby he can make (told from silver,
says an exchange.' That's nothing,
friend, Mr. Bryan's coming to Roseburg
reminds us that he bas been doing that
right along for the past three or four
years. Plaindealer.

Love and Mike O'Brien.
Every man bas good use for a suit
case. Just the thing to take along on
short trips, as it is large enough to hold
a change of clothes, etc., and not large
enough to be found inconvenient. Those
on exhibition in A. M. Williams & Co.'s
eaat window are just right and they
are free to suit customers.

Every British reader should know the
origin of the sobriquet "Tom my Atkins."
Tommy Atkins was the name of a sentrv
who, when the Europeans in I.ncknow
were flying for the residency from the
mutineers, refused to leave his post,
and so perished. After that it became
the fashion to speak of a conspicuously
heroic soldier in the fights with the
rebels as "a regular Tommy Atkins."
London News.
A royal revel with Old Mumus is
promised theater-goers of this city when
the bright and breezy play of "Have
You Been Smith," which has created
furore wherever seen, will appear
'"re. As a mirth-producer "Have You
Neen Smith" is pronounced an enormous
success. From the rise of the curtain to
tle firiAl fall of the same the interest
never flags, the humor never loses its
piquant flavor, and the entire piece goes
''ppling merrily on to an nproaronsly
funny termination. Incidental to the
action of the play, a perfect plethora of
catchy specialties are introduced.
A block of granite from the Raymond.
Ca! fjri.ia, quarries, weighing 6500
r , pound?, was taken to the Odd Fellows'
! cenii'tery yesterday by L-miij Cuminl to
form the base of a sarcophagus monu
ment to be plased over the remains uf
the late Mark Vanbihber, who was
drowned in the Columbia river, near
Crate's point a few years ago. The
monument will be of red granite, from
Red Beach, Maine, and wilt be the
largest sarcophagus monument in the
cemetery.
Sheepmen can now leave their flocks
for a day at a ti:iie and no lurui will
come to them, says the Lakevlew Ex
aminer. W. K. Barry's band was with
out a herder for six days, and wandered
away from their grazing ground, and
there was no perceptible loss. This is a
good argument in favor of the nonrepeal
of the coyote bounty law, as so many of
these animals have been destroyed thai
the bounty money to be paid hereafter
wilt not amount to much, and at the
same time the work of extermination
will go merrily on.
In launching the steamer Reliance
last Wednesday morning she stuck in
about five feet of water and her shoe
was badly twisted. Yesterday morning
the boat was hauled out on the ways,
where the damage will be repaired as
rapidly as possible. She will be ready
for her trial trip tomorrow, and will
probably go on the run about the latter
part of the week or the first of next.
Messrs. Allaway, Glenn, Mclne.-ny and
Crowe will leave on this afternoon's
train for Portland to make arrangements
for the trial trip.
Senator Beveridge bas been out in tbe
Phillipines islands, and, among other
interesting incidents of bis stay there,
tells the following: "One morning I
dismounted at an outpost occupied by
Kansas troops, aud, unslinging my
glasses, proceeded to inspect the Pill
pinos, who were plainly visible from that
point. A young Kansas boy approached
and said: 'Senator, if you stand there
long you'll get h shot out ot you.'
'Why, can they shoot so far?' 'Yes,
and farther, too; the air was full ot
boles here not an hour ago.' " The
senator hastily retired, leaving the Kan
sas boys in possession of the perforated
air.
lie was not disorderly but simply
stupidly drunk. All he asked was to
be let alone and sleep on the floor of the
saloon and at short, waking intervals
stagger up to the bar, get another drink
and go back to his lair again. He
started out yesterday morning with $30
in his pocket started out to prove that
be was as willing, unreasoning hog and
succeeded. His poor little wife, not
long out of her teens, had begged him
to come home, but in vain. Then she
appealed to the marshal and the officer
put him in the lock-up at 8:30 this
afternoon till be would sleep off his
debauch. He had $5.30 left but he had
demonstrated that be was a hog.
Tie proper place for a postage utamp
on mail matter is the upper right-hand
corner of tbe address side, says Edwin
C. Madden, third assistant postmaster
general. This facilitates cancellation
and distribution, and insures prompt
and proper treatment throughout to?
service. Stamps placed elsewhere are
liable to be overlooked, and the matter
mibtreated as unpaid, or otherwise, and
perhaps delayed in dispatch; therefoie,
unless impracticable, stamps should be
affixed on the "face" of all mail matter.
Postmasters should advise patrons that
the department does not hold postal
officials responsible for delay in dis
patch or wrong treatment resulting from
the Improper placing of postage stamps.

It Is generally understood, says the
Seattle Pout-Intelligencer, that George
H. Baker, of KliekiUt county, will be

Mrs. Smith French had a letter a few
days ago from the Rev. Mr. Simpson,
who was pastor of the M. E. chnrcb at
this place some ten years ago, announc
ing the death from diphtheria of his
son, Kenwortby, aired 6 years. The
death occurred on the last day of March.
Mr. Simpson is stationed at Scranton,
Pa.
President E. E. Lylle, of the Columbia
Southern, denies that there is any truth
in the dispatches that have erainated
from Baker City to the effect that bis
road is making arrangements to connect
with the C. B. & Q. Mr. Lytle says the
Interests of the Columbia Southern are
too closely allied with those of the O. R.
& N. to make such a deal desirable.

13; blank 1. The closing ballot stood
Frank Menetee 14, N. B. Sinnott 13.
Emile Schanno, of this city, member
of the State Board of Horticulture, kept
a close watch on the thermometer dur
ing the late cold nights, and he is quite
certain no damage bas been done to
early fruit in the immediate neighbor
hood of The Dalles. The past two
nights have been quite mild and the
prospects never were better for an enor-
nrous crop of peaches and cherries
, Experiments at the Washington agri
cultural college have demonstrated that
a bushel of wheal can be turned into
twelve pounds of hog, which at the
prices prevailing for stock on the boot,
would make the wheat so transformed
worth 60 cents a bushel. Where the
feed is mixed, wheat with vegetable re
fuse, the results are even better. It has
also been thoroughly demonstrated that
it is not difficult, with ordinary prec.iu
tions, to keep the swine free from dis
ease.
Senator McBride has been asked by
the Portland chamber of commerce to
withdraw his amendment to the sundry
civil appropriation bill, providing for
the expenditure of the full amount rec
ommended by the engineers for the im
provement of the Columbia river. The
action was ordered at the regular meet
ing of the trustees of the chamber of
commerce, after the subject had been
freely discussed by those present. It
was feared that the amendment would
fail to get through, and would thereby
injure tbe cause more than it would
thereby injure the cause more than it
would benefit it.

"Have You Seen Smith," one of the
season's chief farce-comedy successes,
will make its debut in this city shortly.
The play is billed as "the farce-comedy
surprise," and that it is a genuine
novelty is the universal opinion of all
who have witnessed it. In constructing
the work, the author is said to have de
parted entirely from the well-worn
methods so long employed in the build
ing of similar pieces, and the result is a
production that unfailingly tickles the
palates of all classes of theater-goers.
White-whiskered "gags,v old-fashioned
devices like trick stairs and siphon
bottles, and all the rough and tumble
concomitants of the average farce'
comedy have been rigidly rxclu led ; and
in their placs la found fresh, spontaneous I
lature of 1890,
' bumor, legitimate comedv situations.
and a myriad of novel magical features.
Representative MooiIt has hmn .

men last year. Permits will be granted
to sheepmen according to the previously
established custom. If congress should,
as bas been requested, authorize the
secretary of the interior to imposo a
nominal chame for graaing, he may ex

along with other reserves; but even if
granted it is doubtful if any charge will
he made for this year's grazing privi
leges. Marshal Hughes arrested three drunks
yesterday afternoon, who had loaded
themselves with bug juice out of wages
they had earned on the Paul Mohr port
age. One of them tried to escape and
ran into the Oregon saloon, when one
of the proprietors; as the marshal
claims, made an attempt to prevent the
man's arrest. The marshal took him
'along, however, and lodged the three
men in tbe calaboose. One of them was
discharged this morning, another was
fined $5, and the one who attempted to
escape was fined $10. The fines were
not paid and they will be worked out on
the streets. The marshal subsequently
arrested the saloon keeper, and he will
be tried before Recorder Gates tomorrow
afternoon on the charge of resisting an
officer.

They were from West Virginia and were
bound for Promise, Wallowa county.
In the two families there were just
twenty children, mostly boys. They
were a lusty lot and we commend them
with "all their hopes of future veara"
to the fortunes of the land of Promise.
W. M. McCorckle, the veteran miller
of Tygh Valley, arrived in town laBt
night and left for home this forenoon.
He informs The Chboniclk that the
fruit in the valley has not been serious
ly injured by the late frost. Peaches,
prunes and cherries were thinned out
but as far as his own orchard is con
cerned there will be more than enough
of these left. As regards Wamic and
the Wapinitia Flat his information is
that early truit is seriously damaged if
not, in most places, ruined.
Here is a sample of the boiler plate
editorials tiiat have appeared of late in
our Democratic country press. It must
be read in the light of the fact that un
der the Puerto Rican tariff bill Puerto
Rican sugar and tobacco come to this
country free. Tbe name ol tha paper is
omitted out of respect tor the alleged
editor: "The president of a Porto Rico
tobacco company states that the fifteen
per cent tariff shuts their tobacco out of
the United States. A fine way to treat
the producers of our latest acqniied ter
ritory! It is all in the interest of tbe
sugar and tobacco trusts."
Several members of the Scottish Re
serve, before leaving for the cape, were
entertained at a farewell supper the
other evening by their workers in Dun
dee, Scotland. "Now, boys," said tbe
chairman after an appropriate speech,
"treat what is on the table as you would
the Boers." As the feast ended one of
the Reserves was observed by the chair
man stowing away a bottle of whiskey
in tns pocket. "What a that ye re
daein,, Tarn?" shouted the chairman
good huuioredly. "Oh," replied Tain,
to the great amuaement of all, "I'm
only obeyin' orders. Ye tell 't us to
treat the supper as would the Boers,
and ye ken, what we dinna kill we are
tae tak' prisoners."
People who believe that there can
never be too much fun in this work-a-
day world will do well to make note of
the appearance in this city Monday
night of the most successful of all recent
farce comedies, "Have You Seen
Smith." This piece has been well de
scribed by a western critic as the "beat
existing exemplification of honest fun."
It is all fun from the first rising to the
last falling of the curtain. The ludi
crous characters, the laughable happen
ings that follow one another in swift
sequence, the essentially funny plot,
the fresh and merry specialties intro
duced, are what combine to makeup
entertainments of this class, and "Have
You Seen Smith" is said to be one of
the happiest blemlings of the above-
mentioned ingredients that our stage
has seeu in many a long day.

Tkie Dau bs, April 11, 1900.
Km ri: CimoNu-LK :
Ti.t re ur- liia e kcow of and ill we

travel over the Height toll roal from
Bakeovn to Trout cretk he will con
clude that all the ills the human rac

From Bakeoven to th head o! Cow
canyon it ii one continuous jolt over
rocks an i int ruts. It does not appear
that a reck his Ix-en thrown out for a
years. The ilragio of heavy loads
over the roads has worn rat a rut oa
each si. I of every rock. This makes a
trip over this excuse of a road hard on
teams and disarreit lo to drivers.
But th3 roal company never fails to
collect toll from Ir.tve'ers, 50 cents for a
to-hurie team esch wy. Now, Mr.
Editor, I want to know if there ia any
way to fore the owner uf the road to
put it in tit shape for travel or quit
charging toll. If there is not, the
charter should he forfeited. The con
dition of the road is an imposition apoa
the traveling public and the charging of
toll a bit of graft. For one, I would say
cauo the churter to be forfeited and the
road thrown back to the county as a
public ttioroutihhtre, or force the owner
to keep it in decent ft. ape for travel.

Mtaii(hatt-tl Mayor Vincent.
When the overland passenger train
rolled into tho O. R. A N. station this
moriiiny, a big crowd of Pendleton and
Umatilla county delegates and politi
cians were assembled, many bound for
Portland to attend the state conventions
and others merely having gone to the
station to see the politicians eff snd im
part wise counsel as to the action in the
state conventions. Among those who
did not intend to go was Dr. F. W. Vin
cent, mayor ot Pendleton, chairman of
the Republican county committee, and
late chairman of the Republican county
convention. The dector bad lots of
business which kept him from deciding;
to go to Portland, and he so informed
the otiiers.
Without saying anything about it,
Senator Taylor and Ju.lge Fee put np a
job on the mayor, and, ju9t before the
train pulled out, tho doctor was seised
by half a dozen, raided on board" the
Pullman, jammed down Into a seat and,
so it is said, sat on by numerous men
until the train had attained too great
speed to permit him to jump off.
The shanghaied mayor is now on the
overland, flying toward Portland. It is
intimated by some of his friends that
he will bring an action for exemplary
damages and for the expenses incurred
while in Portland. East Oregonian.
Wagons and Bugg-len from tba Factory
I. R. A. Gilley, representing the
Spaulding Manufacturing Co., of Grin
nell, Ohio, is at the East End with a
carload ol forty-five hacks and buggies
which he snd a force of men will try and
dispose of in the country tributary to
The Dalles. The machines are direct
from the factory, and as Mr. Gilley and
bis co-laborers are simply tbe salaried
employes of the company, each convey
ance will be sold without the interven
tion of a half hozen middlemen, each of
whom must have a dividend from the
price the purchaser has to pay.
These men have been operating over
much of the Willamette valley, tbe Big;
Bend country in Washington, around
Walla Walla, North Yakima, the Grande
Roude valley, Pendleton and other
places in Washington and Oregon.
They sell direct to the purchaser. Each
machine is built of the bent material
and by the best mechanics money can
be procure and is sold subject to any
reasonable teBt that may be conceived
of to prove the character of the material
in its make np. And lastly, each ma
chine is sold under a written guarantee
