The recent sharp advance in the price o( wheat, cotemporaneouB with the meeting of the national republican con vention and the proposal to give the country four more yeais of McKinley prosperity, will necessitate a fresh flood of democratic literature on the ancient law of supply and deaiand. Yesterday evening Thomas Smiley was united in marriage to Mies Josie Akin, both of this city. The ceremony was performed by Rev. TJ. F. Hawk in the presence of a few friends of the bride and bridegroom at the residence ot the bride's sister, Mrs. Charles Adam!. An elegant refection followed the wedding ceremony.

Night Watchman Pbirman arrested a drunken squaw last night and kept her in confinement till she was turned loose this morning, a sober but hyas sick siwaeh. The pity of it was that the drunken woman had a poor little papoose that had to be brought to her by another woman to receive its wonted measure of liquid nourishment and then removed to keep it out of dangei till its drunken mother had sobered up. J. T. Reynolds spoiled a good news paper item this afternoon and probably saved a fine new back from destruction at the same time by baiting a team that hud started to run away from the store of Maier 4 Benton, where it had been left unhitched while a couple of ladies, who had it in charge were trading in the store. Just as the horses were getting on a good head of steam Mr. Reynolds dashed in front of them, and, at the imminent risk of his limbs, brought them to a stand. Thursday's Dally Reports from over the river say they had a fine rain yesterday in the Klicki tat valley that came timely and will prove highly beneficial to the grain crop.

A Moro editor, after' having trid to masticate a leathery Sherman courty beef steak, sat down and penned the following solemn reflection: "It is tough to think that many an old cow is cut short in the day she should have lived, simply to satisfy our appetites." The Astoria News tells of a census enumerator who called on his own father and read the questions off till he came to the one "Are you married?" The father looked at the young hopeful for a moment and then deliberately an swered, "You would be in a devil of a fix if I weren't married." J. H. Harper and Sid Kelley returned yesterday from Dutch Flat, where they painted and pupered a new house for Mr. Chittenden. They report a fine rain in that section that lasted all yes terday forenoon and thoroughly satu rated the ground, practically insuring the largest crop ever harvested on the Flat. This morning a man ol about thirty five years, a stranger to this deponent, while seated in a buggy, ostensibly driving, but really so paralyzed with drink that he had no more propulsive energy than a gunny sack, while sharp ly rounding the corner of the street at French's bank, fell out of the buggy, bead foremost, In a heap ogaiqBt the cement sidewalk. Luckily the fellow's neck was not broken, and two or three by-standers picked him up and put him back in the buggy and the horse carried him on its way. The O.

An old man of 75 years, a veteran of the civil war, gave our night watchmen a rough and tumble time last night while placing him nnder arrest. He hails from Portland and had been out in the Bakeoven country on an unsuccess ful hunt for an old-time friend of his b th nam of Johnson. Returning here yesterday evening hungry and thirsty, ha took a series of appetizers that set Liiu crazy drunk. The watchmen had to hatiJcti J biin before he would submit to be taken to the calaboose, and on the way lie squealed like an Indian and fought like a tiger. He was discharged this morning without fine as he was en tirely destitute of funds. Ben Openheimer of Walla Walla, who Is well known in The Dalles, was ar reseted on the train at this place by Sheriff Kelly, Wednesday, on a warrant issued at Pol tland, charging him with larceny by bailee, preferred by W. IP Chapin in the matter of a transaction occurring back in 1S9S. In the opinion of the Portland police it is a case for the civil courts and not the criminal. Open heimer was taken to Portland yesterday and released on $100 bail. Edward Breen, a quiet, inoffensive laborer, who has been working for some time on the ranches of D. P. Ketchum and J. T. Rorick, got a frightful pum mel ing last night in an East End saloon. Breen had been drinking and he claims that without the least provoca tion one Enos Lane struck him in the face and beat him so that he had to apply to a physician this morning for the repair of ids injuries. Breen i nearly killed a couple of weeks ago at North Dulles by a Tumwater Indian, known as Pretty Dick, who ran Breen down with a horse and struck him a couple of severe blows on the head with a loaded quirt. The Indian had Insisted that Breen should come over to The Dalles and buy him a bottle of whiskey, and B.reen had bluntly responded by telling the Siwaeh to go to hell. Pretty Dick is now in jail at Goldendale await ing trial for the assnult. Breen swore out a warrant this rooming for Lane's arrest. He was arraigned before Jus tice Brownhill this afternoon, when he pleaded guilty and was fined $10. Death of George Henry ltuch. Wednesday's Dally. It is with profound sorrow that we record the death of George H. Rucb, the only son of George and Ursula Ruch of this city, at the home of his parents yesterday afternoon. The de ceased was taken down about twelve weeks ago with rheumatic fever, and the complications of the heart that arose out of it ba filed all that human skill could accomplish. Seldom in the his tory of The Dalles have the hearts 'of the people been more deeply moved than they were when they learned yes terday afternoon that Geotge Rucb, Jr., had passed away. He was a young man that gave unusual premise of a useful, honored life. He was a model eon, brother and companion, and his loss leaves an aching void in the family circle as well as the community which his short young life so beautifully adorned. George Henry Ruch was born in this city June 29, 1881. He was educated in The Dalles public schools and graduated from the high school in the claBS of 1809, whose alumni elected him president of their association. It was his intention to commence a college course next fall He bad been a consistent member of the Methodist church for some four years. He was the only son, and the youngest of four children, who all sur vive him, they being Mrs. James Suther land, Louise and lone Ruch, all of whom were present at his bedside during his illness.

How Dalles Woodmen Appreciated the Kutertalument Olsen at That I'lace. The people of La Grande must be of the kind that good Woodmen are made of, judging from what Timothy Brown- hill says of them. Mr. Brownhill says; "I have attended many gatherings in different towns, but never in all uiy experience have 1 seen people enter taineiTin such a lavish way as were the delegates to the 5tb district convention, V. O. W., held at La Grande on the 20th. The delegates arriving on the 10:30 train of the 19th, at La Grande, were greatly surprised by being met at the depot by a lare crowd of people and the La Grande brass band; and from that tiaio on the music by band, orchestra and concert phonograph ap peared to be nevev-ceasing. "A special train was placed at the disposal of the delegates, which was promptly taken charge of, and hied itself away to the beet sugar factory thnt was erected some time ago at a coat of half a million dollars. Returning from this the delegates were again gathered In the Klks hall, when a season of rejoicing and entertainment commenced, such as Is seldom equalled. A short time was spent in telling "fun ny stories," some of the best being told by Roy Reed, the "Mark Twain of La Grande," and listening to selections from the grand concert phonograph, furnished for the occasion by Fred Meyers of Camp 100. "We repaired to tho banquet room, and while listening to beautiful strains of music, discoursed by the La Grande orchestra, (which had been hiredforour special benefit) we ticked our palates by discussing, in a material way, the finest diuner ever sat down to in tho history of the convention. There were spring duck and the finest Oregon ham, limbtirger, swiss and cream cheese, and th9ii such cider, lemonade, "joy of life" and other good thinus too numerous to mention as kept the elated choppers at the festive board until the hours when all good people are supposed to be in bed. "Then we again repaired to the hall, and wero entertained by stories fiom matrimony to spiritualism, more music and cake-walks, by neighbors Berry and I lee,!, which took the shine out of any i specialist in the land. In fine too much cannot be said in praise of the boys at La Grande, and the least that can be said is that the boys of that place have made a host of friends tlmt can never forget La Grande Camp, 10!', and the citizens of that pluce for their kindness to tlio strangers within the Rates Starvation never yet cured dyspepsia.
