A big fire raged all this afternoon on
the mountain point beyond the Halvor
place below Crate's Point. Viewing it
from here at 2 p. in, it appeared to
reach from the river to a point on the
mountain a mile or more south, and in
dengerous proximity to grain fields that
are just turning yellow. It seemed to
be playing havoc in the scrub pine on
the mountain point.
"There is not a day in the week,"
said Dad Butts to the Chronicle man
this morning, "that I have not from
one to ten applications for houses to
rent that I cannot fill. The houses de
(ired are mostly of the better class, Lav
ing six or eight rooms. This would in
dicate that The Dalles is being settled
op by a class of people that have money
or are earning good w ages.
C. L. Gilbert yesterday closed a deal
with C. A. Bell for the purchase of the
Mount Hood hotel and contents at

excursionists from all the towns between
Pendleton and the Cascade Locks, as
well us those on the line of the Colum
bia Southern from Shaniko to Wascj.

lor Hill, E. R. Carev, of Prineville, and

The Bohemian club room of thfs city
that has been the resort of more bud
ding statesmen and the theater of more
political discussion than any room of
its eizj this side Kansas, was handsome
ly papered and decorated yesterday till
it looks as if a cyclone of McKinley
prosperity had struck both it and the
cranky, but always geuial, chairman of
the club.
The fire that raged all yeBterday after
noon near Crate's Point destroyed a lot
of newly cut hay belonging to A. Y.
Marsb, about half a mile of plank fence,
and all his fall pasture on the mountain
side. Mr. Marsh estimates his loss at
$300. The Are started from a lot of
wild mustard that had been ignited in
a field belonging to the Benedictines
and got beyond the control of the men
who ignited it. Part of the Vanbibber
pasture was also burned over and de
etroyed.
"We believe in the constitution of the
United States; we believe in the declar
ation of independence; we believe tl at
the love of liberty is born in tiie linman
breast, and that, possessing its fruits
ourselves through more than a century
of trial and temptation, we cannot deny
them to others." Thus spoke Chairman
Webster Huntington at the opening of
the Ohio democratic state convention
which met at Columbus yesterday, and
at the close, to illustrate democratic
faith by its works, a squad of twenty
police was eent for and ordered to "clear
the aisles, knock down those who would
not bit down, and compel the disturbers
to be silent."
It is very evident that John Phillips
was not the only man in The Dalles
who sells whiskey to Indians. Yester
day morning as Alex. Mcintosh, Sr., of
Paulina, was coming to town and had
reached a farm house on the other side
of Five Mfle, he found three drunken
Indians threatening the wife of the
farmer, who was not at home. The
lady appealed to Mr. Mcintosh for pro
tection, and when that gentleman order
ed the Si washes to move on, one of them
pointed a six shooter in his face and
ordered him to move on. Mr. Mcintosh
was unarmed and had to obey or take
the cbance of losing his life. Ho the
lady got rid of the Indians we could not
learn.
Louie Comini, of this city, went to
Portland Tuesday morning to consult an
oculist in regard to treatment for his
right eye. Last Saturday while using a
steel chisel a small pi?ce flew off and
struck the eight of the eye. This was
removed and Mr. Comini thought the
eye would be all right, and so continued
to work. On Monday it became so
painful that he was compelled to quit
work and e'ek further relief. He con
sulted Dr. E. C. Brown, of Portland,
who found an infected ulcer on the
sight of the right eye and eent Mr. Co-
mini to St. Vincent's hospital. It will
be about two weeks before the eye is
well enough to use again. Any one
needing stone work will do well to wait
until Mr. Comini returns, or to call at
the shop, where Mr. Wicks or Mr. Co
mini can always be found. Mr. Comini
needs the work very much now and will
be very reasonable with any one giving
him work. Patronize home industry
and a taxpayer.
Friday s Dally.

Marshal Hughes yesterday afternoon
arrested a Warm Springs Indian lor
drunkenness. He paid a fine of $2 this
morning.
Tl.o Yakima Indians brought over to
day from North Dalles the last of 900
hoad of rayupes for tho Linton cannery.
The Indians say thty have 300') or 4000
more that they may bring hern Inter on.
Lnst night and this morning the
Dalles City took down to Stevenson
2200 head of sheep for I. P. Ketclinm.
These sheep will be summered in the
mountains till towards fall, when they

John Philips. ho was arrested here a
couple of weeks ago for selling liquor to
Indian", was brought buck from Port
land today by Deputy United States
Marshal Huberts under a sentenco of
sixty days In the county jail. Mr. Rob
erta turned the prisoner over to Sheriff
Kelly and proceeded on op the road.
Phillips pleaded guilty acd thus escaped
a well-deserved longer sentence.
The fame of The Dalles weeding ma
chine, patented recently by Frank Gen-
ning, has reached the fatherland, and
today Frank had a letter from the firm
of Hodder A Wessler, manufacturing
agents of Danzig, asking the price of the
machines free on boarj ship al New
York or Hamburg.
Commencemei.t exercices at the state
university wera concluded yesterday
with the exercises of the graduating
class. The degree of bachelor of arts
was conferred on Mi?a Daisy Ernestine
Allaay and Mr. Homer D. Acgell, of
The Da'les. At the meeting of the
alumni Miss Melissa H 11, of The Dalles,
was chosen vice-president of the asso
ciation. Connty Clerk-Elect Lake has an
nounced his intention of appointing
Simeon Bolton as his depnty. It is
doubtful if Mr. Lake could have made
any other selection that would have
been as satisfactory to the taxpayers of
Wasco county. Mr. Bolton is in many
respects a model public official. Steady,
sober, patient, efficient, obliging and
always at the post of duty are qualities
which meet with just recognition in his
retention in the position he has filled
with honor to himself and satisfaction
to the public for more than five years.
A tramp printer who had earned a
small wad of money picking berries at
Hood River, arrived in town yesterday
and proceeded to blow himself in. Night
Watchman Phirman arrested him and
kept him in the calaboose for the night,
as much as anything to save him from
being robbed. When he was discharged
this morning he was not long till be was
again full. He had a bundle of clothing
which he dropped on the Bidewalk and
staggered off. Marshal Hughes picked
up the bundle and put its drunken
owner back in the calaboose, where he
remains at this writing.
A London dispatch says Mrs. Glad
stone, widow of William E. Gladstone,
died at 5 :40 yesterday afternoon. She
was 82 years of age, and was the daugh
ter of Sir Stephen Glynne. For sixty
years she was the faithful helpmate oi
England's "Grand Old Man,'' and his
death lay heavily on the evening of her
life. It was her mother's benevolence
and care for thi poor which laid the
foundation for the daughter's wide and
active sympathy with. suffering, and her
pity and compassion during her minis
trations to the victims of the great
cholera epidemic in London.

THE LADY MINSTRELS.
Hew Admirably Ike Beret Cera Artists
Euterlalaed Their Audience.
WedoeMlaT's Dull v.
A good hone greeted the beauties in
burtt oik l.irt ninht. Everything
went. Ti;e ladies appeared in robea of
all colors and lints known to art, and
ami. let a storm of applause and loud ac
clai.u on the part of the audience, the
trouble bi?g.n.
Tl.e performance was snrpriningly
good. It must be voted a succc be
ciiUee it was efftctive, and surprisingly
so. The opening overture brought on
tha end ladies with as much rush and
abandon as o;.e Would expect to see In
Primrose and Wrst's minstrel. Tiiey
were followed by six rt, dressed iu the
national colors, ai d the children did
themselves prcr.J." The s;x tiger iillies
In "Thai's a Pretly Girl" were very
dainty aud charming throughout the
cumber, and closed it with a ehuwer of
kisses, which they threw at the ten
young meu who held the bald-beaded
row, and whose make up and generous
exuberant spirts added much to the suc
cess of the performance and the enjoy
ment of the audience.
- Master Wellesley Rancie and Lela
Keleay brought down the house iu
"Your Money's N Good." Miss
Georgia Sampson was exqu site ia white
face, and "My Hannah Lady" in a man
ner to grace any performance. Miss
Edna B.irnett iu "I's a Lady" was "to
the manner born." Mrs. Jayne fairly
captivated the house with the only
ballad of the first pait. Misses Fredden
aud French did "Move on, Mr. Nigger"
in truly artistic style aud repeated their
success of laet year. They are a fine
team in character work. "My Soldier
Man" by Misses Patterson and Barnett,
and Baby HanBen as "Ike Razzors"
made one of the bits of the evening.
The curtain fell on a good first part,
with seven pickaninnies jigging to beat
the band, while the entire company
floated American flag9.
The olio opened with Baldwin's or
chestra playing in good style. The
daiky cavaliers, sixteen misses in blue
ana white military costunre, ilk! a
unique turn. Their posing, marching
and singing were much applauded. The
number closed with Miss Sampson in a
baby go-cart singing "Baby Isn't Old
Enough to Know." She did the num
ber justice and it was a good climax.
The Irish song and dance by Welzie
Runcie pleased tho audience, and no
words could express how cunning the
"Hoo Doo Doos" were. Miss Bessie
Lang added a very large slice to the sua
cess of the program in her dance. She
looked charming.
The program closed with a rollicking
jubilee sketch, in which pretty special
ties were introduced and everyone
danced the short, the tall, the thick,
the thin.
The only criticism on tho minstrel is
made by tho young men, who complain
that the ladies did not hit them hard
enough In the jokes; but wait for to
night and they will try again.
WILL FIGHT THE SEWER SYSTEM
Trnperty Owuers Ask for an Injiiuctlon
Itetrftlnlng the City from Enforcing-
the 1'rovlalnns of tho
Hewer Ordinance.
Wednesday's Daily.
A large number of the larger property
owners of the city, whose interest are
effected by the proposed sewer system,
have instituted proceedings against the
city praying for a temporary injunction
to restrain the authorities from collect
ing or enforcing payment of the aafees
ment for, or building or constructing
the proposed sewer system, or enforcing
the provisions of ordinance No. 321, and,
upon final hearing, that the injunction
bn made permanent.
The necessary papers in the case were
served on Recorder Gates yesterday
afternoon. Huntington & Wilson and
W. II. Wilson have been retained by
the plaintiflV, and Judgo Bennett by
the city. The ground of a 'lion is stated
in the last section of tl.o complaint as
follows:
That each and nil of the proceedings
herein mentioned and referred to were
had, done, taken and performed f.y the
defendant Dalles City, its officers,
council and agents, without any notice
to the plaintiffs or any of them, or any
opportunity of the plaintiffs or any of
thsm to be heard at any stage of the
proceedings or at all upon the question
of what proportionate cost of said drain,
sewer, st wers or ecwer system shall oi
should be borne by tho different prop
erties benefited thereby, or the propor
tionate share of the cost thereof to be
assessed to the respective properties
benefited by such drain, sewer, sewers
or sewer system or otherwise, or at all,
and that tho plaintiffs had no notice
whatever of the time or place w hen and
where said matters were acert;ined or
determined, but paid council ascertained
and deUrmined the same and the whole
thereof without bearing the plaintiff
or anv of them, or giving them or any of
them an opportunity to be heard there
on in any way or at all, and said pro
ceedings, upon tho part cf the defendant,
Is and was an attempt to deprive tho
plaintiffs and each of them of ttieir
property w ithout due proceps t f l iw and
were and are in contravention of section
cue of article XIV of the constitution of
the United States and are null and void.
Subpcribo for The Chronicle.
Obltaary.
On Suuday morning, Mary Wigle
Taylor, wife of William II. Taylor, died
at her home near this city a't r months
of iuleuia suffering fiom that dread
disvase, cincor.
Miry Elizabeth Wigto was born in
Adams couuty, Illinois, April SO, 1S40.
S:iw came with her family across the
p'aius to Oregon in 1852, arrivirg late
in the fall ami settling in Linn county,
near tho pie.-ent location of II.il.-ey.
Stia was married to Mr. Taj lor, who was
also a pioneer of 1853. on December 20,
ISoo. Mr. unj Mrs. Tavl r moved from
the Willamette valley in Hie fad id 1S70,
locating on Willow Creek, Umatilla
county, near tho present town of
Ih-ppner, and resided iu that fhictt till
the fall of 1870 when they moved to
their pieteut home iu Waeco county,
near The Dalles.
Ton children were born to them, six
of whom are living and who were, to
the great comfort of the mother, preser.t
wiih her during the last ten days, the
eldest son, John A., coming from River
tide, Calif., and the oldest daughter,
Ella (Clark) from Brownsville, Ore.
While in Umatilla county they lost two
children by diphtheria and two from
this present home.
Mrs. Taylor waa 54 years, 1 month and
10 days old whtn called to her denial
rest. Though never publicly professing
Christianity she lived her religion. She
never hesitated, no matter how malig
nant the disease, to visit anil minister
to the sick, and to do good to mankind
whenever opportunity afforded. Her
friends say that no duty, no work was
ever too urgent, too pressing, the day
never too stormy, the night never too
dark, when ber neigii-i aud friends
had eicknesa and troub.e, '.-it sho would
go to their help. It wai hile exercis
ing this spirit of self satiii that the
germs of diphtheria were e.irued to her
own home so fatally. About four years
ago a cancer developed upon her side,
the result of a terrible burn received in
childhood. It was then that the true
spirit of the woman was revealed in the
utter absence of all complaint and re
pining, nlways enduring the intense
suffering towards the last with n calm
ness and patience almost to be wondered
at. "Good and faithful," which she was,
she surely received a welcome of "well
done" when she entered the 'presence of
her Lord." X. X.
