Tickets for the excursion will be on sale at the following business houses: Clarke & Falk's drug store, J K. Rees' barber shop, Parkins & Mene fee's book store and William Jones cigar store. Herbert Spencer, in a recently report' ed conversation, replied to tbe question as to when he thought society would be perfect by the statement: "When it is truthful. No one Is now. We all ex aggerate; we all use 'very' when we do not mean it. Truth is the one founda tion Btone possible for perfection." The present common council are de serving of great praise for the econom leal business administration they are giving the city. As will be seen by the report of last night's council meeting. they have, during the past eighteen months, placed $7,500 in the sinking fund against the city debt. Were it not that they are required to set aside $1000 a year against this fund and pay annual interest on the debt to tbe amount of $3,420, tbe income from licenses, fines and other sources would maintain the city government without a cent of taxes. What city the size of Tbe Dalles, or any size, cau beat this? The voter of Multnomah county have repudiated Assessor Greenleal, the man who reduced the assessable value of Multnomah property last year by over eleven million dollars and "faved" that county some $40,000 of state taxes that the other counties had to pay Wasco among the rest. Tbe republican con vention repudiated Greenleaf, who thought he was strong onoogb to run as an independent. Now notwithstanding his demagogic appeal to the pockets of his constituents, they very justly eat down on him. "Whatever other states may declare for, Oregon is for expansion and all that it implies," said a prominent and well known democrat, who always voted with bis party, today in tbe hearing of a CmtoNici.it representatve. "Oregon is for expansion and the gold standard, and the rest of the country will declare itself as Oregon has done the moment it gets the chance. The only thing the coming democratic national convention can wisely do is to come out boldly for expansion and denounce imperialism, nd imperialism is only a Don Quixote windmill." A Dalles physician of large practice was rung np at 1 o'clock this morning "nil asked to visit a sick woman in what proved t be tbe tenderloin district. The woman was a stranger, a Cyprian from Arlington, and in fits of convulsions she had chewed ber tongae into rags. To add to the wretchedness ol the scene she was surrounded by a lialf dozen bleer-eyed women of ber ciass and another half dozen whiskey tf'l things in men's clothes, of a still 'ower dass, all In drunken hysterical Plirenzy, screeching out their prescrip tions for the woman's relief. The dos tor has seen some pictures of human rctcliedneBS and depravity, but he never saw one that quite equals the Picture of last night. Tim board of school directors of The dalles district met yesterday and elected "'e entire present corps of teachers to ,ff,ve for thejext school year. At her own leqnest Miss Elsie Ball was granted leave of absence for one year to attend the Monmouth normal school, and her 'tor, Miss Alice, was elected to serve in 111. ,.l..rt f. .t - . m: lur mo coming year. jiiiesj Alice is a former graduate of The Dalles nig!) school and has been teaching at Starbuck for the last two years. Tte I Dai e sshools have a very excellent corps of teachers and the action of the board in retaining tbem will meet the approval of ttie patrons of the schools. Washington correspondents say that an amusing and good-natured rivalry exists between Congress nan Eddy, of Minnesota, and Congressman Cushmsn, of Washington, as to which of them shall be entitled to the distinction of being the homeliest man iu congress. It was Eddy who was charged at one time by a rival candidate for congress in bis district with being "two-faced." He went home from Washington to answer the charge. "I hardly think," he said, "that this charge needs a terioua an swer. Does any one think that if I really bad two faces I would keep on wearing the one I have with me today?" Thursday's Dully Dr. Hugh Logan, of this city, was at Niagara Falls last Sunday. Sheriff Kelly this morning turned over to the county treasurer $3,730 56, the amount of taxes collected during the month of May. Remember the D. C. & A. C. band also tbe Portland orchestra and Hood River band will furnish the music for the Woodcraft Social Club excursion Sunday. A yearling wether In the flock of Frank ' Durbin, of . Marion countv, sheared 26,l pounds of wool this spring. A vearing ewe in the same flock sheared 23 pounds. Portland is making arrangements for a big celebration on the Fourth and the Astorian characteristically complains that.'Portland is trying to take Aetoria'e Fourth away." Ex-Secretary of State Kincaid's cam paign for the county judgeship of Lane county has ended disastrously. Now let the old man quit. The people have bad enough of him. Deputy County Clerk Bolton, Justice Timothy Brownhill and Recorder Ned Gates are this afternoon canvassing tbe election returns. The official vote of tbe county will be known tomorrow. The Northern Pacific announces a re duction in rates for the transportation of horses in carload lots from points in Oregon to St. Paul. The rate per car has been reduced from $185 to $175.50. A train of fourteen cars of cattle, mostly yearlings, were fed at the Salt- marshe stock yards today on their way to Cutbank, Montana They were pur chased in Tillamook, Polk and Benton counties, but chiefly in Tillamook. There is much opposition to tbe re turn of Chief Joseph and his people to their former bunting grounds in the Wallowa valley. A report comes from Washington that Joseph has secured the assent of tbe government to the proposed change. Thomas Gavin, who was injured a short time ago at Shaniko through a pile of sacked sugar falling on him in the store of Pease A Mays, and who came here for medical treatment, has so far recovered from his injuries as to be able to return to his post today. Mr. L. W. McAdam accompanied him to take charge o( the dry goods depart ment. Governor Geer's wedding invitations have been received by several parties in this city. The bride, as is well known, is Miss Isabelle Trnlinger, of Astoria. The wedding will take place in the As toria Presbyterian church on Thursday afternoon, June 14th, Mrs. J red Bronson had a message from her mother, Mrs. John Gore, of Oswego, Oregon, this morning announc ing that she had been "severely burned," iuet how severely was not stated. The lady is 81 years old. Mrs. Bronson left for Oswego on the mid day train. The Linton horse abattoir, if that ex pression is permissible, is running on full tliue. Sixty horses are slaughtered each working day, and since the season opened 1000 have been killed and packed for shipment abroad. The output for the year will not fall much below 3000 bead. C. B. llaney, thirteen years ago a teamster for Fields A Johns of this city, is in town from Gilliam county, where be and his brother have a growing crop of two thousand acres of wheat, fourteen hundred of which is fall sowing and six hundred spring, all giving promise of an immense yield. Everything indicates that The Dalles will Handle more wool mis year man ever. The scouring mm will attract wool from districts that never previous ly sent a pound here. Mr. Russell, of the scouring mills, says he has already contracted for the scouring of a quarter million pounds from a point that never sent any wool here and never would but tor the scouring mill. The approaching city election bids fair to be a hot one. Everything indi Ctee that the sewer question will be tbe bone of contention. The parties who will have to bear the brunt of the cost of the system in case it prevails have been "laying low" but have not Deen asleep by any means. Their time will come when a new council is to be elected, and In view of the number of signatures to the remonstrance the result is hardly a matter of doubt. A rew coin three cent piece has been authorised by act of congress, to take the place of the old coin which was so nioch like a dime that it coinage wa topped. Tbe new three cent piece i ordered to be made of nickel, the of the old broLie cent, although thicker, In the center is to he a hole one fourt of an inch in diameter. This will make the coin easily distiuguUhed by tiitht or loach. It will be tome time, how ever, before this coin will be in circula tion. Here is co-operation carried to llm ex treme.

According to th complaint, the manager reprimanded the waiter for taking an order from patron in undress and ordered tbe plaintiff from tbe place. The good men and women who are making a crusade against the army can toen do not stop to consider who are their allies and who would be the bene ficlaries of what they are attempting t accomplish, inese are the unecrupu lous people who kept shops for the ea of bad liquors within convenient reac of the army posts and garrisons, and who are awaiting the opportunity to re sumo their occupations. None knows so well as the old soldiers the practical temperance reform that has been effect' ed by the army canteen. Philadelphi Record.

As will be teen elsewhere, Judge Bennett ran ahead of Mr. Williamson in this county 85 votes. These figures, which are partly official, give Mr. Williamson a majority over the judge of 151 In the district. Rhv. G. W.

Ciifton, who is attending the Baptist Association at Fossil, Mr. Black will preach in the Calvary Baptist church next Sunday.

Mrs. Bronson had arrived at her mother's be.Uide bclore her de - partnre, having tieeu summoned there by a dispatch winch said that she had heen severely burned. No further par ticulars have reached here at the hour of going to press. With official figures of tour counties, and more or less imperfect reports from the other thirteen counties of the First congressional district. Tongue's pleral ity over Daly is 3139. In the Second congressional district three counties have reporteJ officially figures, and the other thirteen are Incomplete, and the showing thus made is a plurality of 86.'2 for Moody over Smith. On the state ticket Wolverton, for supreme court judae, leads Greene by 10,380 votes. As the reports gains in completeness tbe republican pluralities increase. The city fathers at Hood River this week passed an ordinance (which, how ever, the mayor refused to sign) reduc ing the saloon license from $1000 a year to $600. "It is expected," says the Gla cier, "that three saloons will take out licenses under this new law, and Hood River will put on city airs. With three saloons we will have a "live" town Our town has been rather "live" for the past month or so, and if we keep on at the present rate, it will be "live enough for the most zealous advocate of the theory that the saloon makes the town. The barn of Larkins Lamtof Mosier, was burned to the ground yesterday afternoon. It contained a nearly new wagon, about a thousand pounds of hay, a lot of grain, a set of double harness and a number of other things. The cause of the fire is unknow n. The barn was a long distance from any other building and no one is known to have been near it when tbe fire started. Mr. Lamb happened to be at the Mosier store, half a mile distant, when he heard of the fire, but before be could reach tbe building it bad fallen in. There was no insurance. The Hond River Glacier Bays the strawberry yield is not so good this year as in former years. Some think tbe shortness is caused by tbe severe frost we had in April. Various causes are given, but many are of the opinion that the Clark's seedling strawberry is run ning out, the fate of all plants of its species. Our growershave been careless in selecting plants when Betting ont a new plantation. No other berry has yet been found to be as good as the Clark's seedling for Hood River, and this favorite variety might be saved to us for years to come, by judicious se lection of new plants. Setts should be token only from new plants, and these new plants should not be allowed to ma ture fruit. Miss Bess Isenberg returned on Tues day from her trip to Kansas, where she spent six weeks delightfully in visiting old friends. On ber way home, while at Colorado Springs, she saw two crates of strawberries placarded, "Hood River Berries." Other berries were on the long table, but no others were placarded. She inquired of the merchant why those two crates were singled out, and none of tbe others marked. The merchant said : "Here are berries from California ; here are Missouri berries, and here are Kansas berries, but these marked 'Hood River' are the best. They come from Oregon, where they can grow the best berries, and where they know how to put tbem up in good shape for market." She then told the merchant she was from Hood River and asked to see the berries. He opened a crate and they proved to be very fine. They were from H. S. Ilibbard's fruit ranch. Glacier, Fire insurance agents in The Dalles have receiyed new rate books from tbe board of fire underwriters which recog nize the late valuable improvements to the fire department and water supply of The Dalles. The rates apply only to property below the bluff and are equiv aletit to a reduction of about ten per cent below former rates. In soue in stances the reduction is more than ten per rent, in others lees; but the adjust ment is generally recognized as uniform nd equitable. Agents are advised that as tbe reductions would prove onerous to companies and agents if they made necessary the return of premiums on policies in force at date of publication, the board has ordered that the reduc tions shall only apply to renewals on policies issued on or after March 25, 1900, and that reports of return premi ums on account of said reductions on policies Issued prior to that date will not bo approved.

WILL HELP THE. SCHOOLS- Bllr (ioitew Oul by Stale Ha. perluteadetil Arfceriuan. I Superintendent of l'unlic Instruction , J- H. Ackerm.in has just completed a 1 new register, to b used in all the rub- lie school iu the state. The general plau in the new register is to have a de tailed record of the work of every pupil, from the time he enters school until he leaves, and a copy of the record to be left by the teacher for the use of his successor. It has heen the experience of ever teacher wto is employed lu the country schools that their predecessors are neg ligent In the matter of leaving records. A "new teacher" has been compelled to enter tbe ecrooliooiu on the first day of the term v'thout the slightest informa tion regarding the classes, the woik they have covered, the proficiency of the pupils or the Btudies they should next pursue. The new register is de signed to remedy this defect in the pub lie school system. Aside from the facts regarding attend ance, deportment, etc., shown by the old form of tchool registers, the new record book contains blank spaces for a list of classes, the names of pupils in each class, the text-books used, the page at which the pupils began and ended, tho pago at which they should begin in the new term, and special information regarding in dividual pupils. A full programme of the branches taught, with the hour at which each class recites, and the number of minutes given to each recitation, is also to be given. The register contains detachable blanks, which must be filled with copies of the programme, and filed with the county superintendent. The annual report, heretofore made singly, is now to be made in duplicate, one copy to be left in the register and the other to be filed with the county superintendent. After the teacher shall have completed bis record for the school year, be must sign it and have it approved and signed by the chairman of the school board. Each teacher is required to report to the county superintendent whether the preceding teacher left the records as re quired. By the use of this new register the records left in each school in tho state will be so complete that a new teacher may enter the schoolroom and take up the work exactly where his predecessor left off. Secret of Mrs. Green'e Sncceai. Hetty Green was recently induced to talk to a writer for tbe June Ladies' Home Journal of ber business methods that have won ber $00,000,000 or more. Tbe secret of ber success is worth know ing. "I don't believe In speculation as a rule," she says, "and I don't specu late as much as people think. When offered so many shares of stock at so much I boy one share and then send out to see what it will bring. If its a good advance I buy the rest. If not, I don't. This was my plan when I used to deal in horses. I would get a day's option on a horse, and see wbat it would bring before buying it. I attrib ute my success chiefly to the rule of al ways buying when everyone wants to sell, and selling when everyone wants to buy. There's a price on everything I have. When that price is offered I sell. I never buy anything just to bold on to it. Not much! And I try to steer clear of Walt street. Any one who hasn't a whole fortune to back his deals had better do the same. I do every thing with all my mind. If there is a lawsuit on hand I go into every detail of it with my lawyer. It'a the same with everything else." Hchool Report Victor Dlatrlct.

A Klamath county lawyer who haa been watching the local political situa tion pretty closely was avked yesterday what he thought Graham Glass would say to Senator Simon when the latter returned fro n Washington and asked how a 5000 majority bad been converted into a 1000 minority. "I don't know," said the lawyer, "but I havo an idea it will be something; like the answer of the Klamath sheep herder. Never beard of that? Well, this herder was engaged by a rancher to herd a baud of sheep, aud he went out on the range. In about a month he came came back and asked his employer if there was any more work for him to do. " 'Work !' exclaimed the rancher. 'Of course there's work. Didn't I hire you to herd my sheep?' . " 'Well,' said the herder, 'if you want me to do that you will have to get some more sheep, for them I had is all gone.' " A Thouaaud fouauea Could not express the rapture of Annie E.
