Mountaineer of yesterday, ". Lane

court for a&anlt and battery, committed

fluence of liquor." Whatever may be
said on Lane's behalf this was surely
"Tim's" firat offense for Tim's friends
seriously doubt if onr esteemed justice of
the peace and president of the Y. M. C.
A., knows the difference between whiskey
and "stone fence." But if Tim did get
on a jam, he was quite right in fining the
other fellow. That's what a justice of
the peace it for.

it is a common saying that Dalles
people never do anythiug by halves, and
therefore it goes without saying that
ti e excursion from The Dalles to Astoria
Ji the Fourth, under tho auspices of the
Young Men's ChriHtian Association, will
he a grand success. Tho young men

H'l, being inspired by a noble object,
they will spare no pains to make this
''"e of Die most enjoyable events In the
history of The Dalles. The cost is with

"A little boy I knew of in the West,"
writes Rev. C) run Townseml Brady, in
the July Ladies' Home Journal, "be
longed to ft family w ho had trained him
to believo in the deep-water form of
baptism, and was experimenting with
t tie household cat and a bucket of water.
The animal evidently did not believe in
immersion, for she resisted, bit and
scratched ami used bad language-Mn
the cat tongue, of course. Finally, the
little boy, with ids hands covered with
scratches and with tears in his eyes,
gave up the effort to effect the regenera
tion of the cat. 'Doggone von!' ho
cried notice the choice of epithets in
tliue of the word dog 'go and be an
Episcopal cat if yon want to!' "
Parties who had tho best possible op
portunity of knowing what they were
talking about say that the picnic at
Bonneville yesterday was a disgrace to
civilisation. It was composed, to an
uncomfortably large extent, of a bowling,
fighting, swearing, drunken mob. There
was at least half a dozen fist fights In
w hich three or four men were severely
handled, and one at least nearly mauled
to death. If yesterday's picnic was a
8am pie of these Sunday excursions, the
sooner respectable people avoid them
the better for their reputation.
Louie Comiui writes from St. Vin
cent's Hospital that be has bad three

he will soon be back at his work with

When John Taylor Gilman, a mem
ber of congress, visited the log houses
which chiefly constituted Saratoga in
its early history, he was accompanied
one day on a hunting ramble by a young
son of the woodsman with whom he
boarded. When they returned to the
woodsman's cabin the boy enthusiastic
ally shouted, "Oh, ma, we've found a
new spring!" "Who found it?"
Turning to the distinguished lawmaker
the little fellow admiringly exclaimed
"Why, the Congress!" And to this
day the name has clung to one of the
most celebrated of the springs which
made the placa a sanitary resort long
before it became the seat of summer
fashion. Julv Ladies Home Journal.
Saturday night, well on towards mid'
night, about a dozen young bloods fell
on John Conners as he and another man
were trying to compel a young fellow,
who was under the influence ot liquor,
to go home. According to Conners
story he licked the whole outfit. Ac
cording to the look oil Conners' face, tho
honors must have been divided. The
fight occurred near the coucX house cor
ner, and while it was in full blast Night
Watchman Phirman swooped dewn on
them and captured one of the bloods
and landed him in jail, Lut the rest dis
appeared in the denso darkness. The
youn fellow put up money for bis ap
pearance and will probably have a trial
tomorrow.
Comparatively few people have ever
seen a modern warship, and even those
who have seen and were familiar w ith
the old style wooden ships with their
intricate net-work of rigging havo little
if any idea ol what a modern steel man-
of-war it like. The U. S. cruiser Phila
delphia, which has been ordered to
Astoria to participate in the celebration
of the Fourth, is one of the modern
kind anil it will be a liberal education to
anyone who haa never seen such a
vessel to go through ami see all that ia
to be Been on hjard of her. Her length
is 327.5 feet ; breadth, 48.0 feet; draft,
19.2 feet ; displacement, 4,324 tons; her
speed is 19.7 knots an hour, derived
from engines of 8,!5 horse-power. She
carries twelve (i-lnch rifles, besides
fiftesn auxiliary guns; she cost, when
built, $ 1,350,000. Kverybody will be
permitted to inspect heron the Fourth,
which will bs worth twice the cost of
a Y. M. C. A. excursion ticket. Tickets
on sale at all the drug stores.
Sopt. Gardner, of tha Hoys' and Girls'
Aid Society, is in town en his return
trip from visiting wards of the society
placed cut in Gilliam, Sherman, Crook
and Wasco counties. Mr. Gardner says
that the society has in the neighborhood
of 300 children in family homes under
their immediate surveillance. So far all
have been found in good hands, attend
ing school and properly clothed. The
officers of the society consider the peo
ple of The Dalles their beBt friends. The
interests of the society are looked after
in this city by Judge U. C. Blakeley
and Miss Anna Lang, although a large
number of the leading people are Inter
ested in the work. Tiie superintendent
says that the management feel deeply
grateful for the kindly aid given to their
support both by the county and the
charitably inclined citizens. All the
children committed from this county

From an employe of the Paul Mobr
portage we learn that all the men that
can be profitably employed are at work
on the portage. All the grading and
bridge work have been completed and
the rails have been laid on two miles of
the western end of the toad. Sufficient
ties for eight and a half miles of the
track have been received at the western
terminus, and the remaining 7,500 are
practically on the way. About one-
third of the rails, or 1237, are laid or are
on the ground alongside the track, and
a contract has been made with the
Dalles City to bring the remainder from
Portland as fast as that boat can carry
them. The company expects to place
orders today for 200,000 feet of lumber
to be used on the incline at the termin
us at the big eddy. They hope to have
the entire work completed and the road
open for traffic by the first ot August.
Coroner Butts held an inquest this
forenoon on the body of a woman who
died yesterday evening in a house of ill
fame in this city from the effects of a
dose of carbolic acid administered by
her own hand and, according to the
evidence submitted to the jury, with
suicidal intent. The woman's maiden
name was Clara Hard, but she was
known here as Dickie Wood. She came
here a week ago with a fellow named
Campbell, who claims to be a railroad
man from Seattie. She was originally
from Albany and has two sisters living
in Eugene, who arrived here today on
the noon train to see after her interment.
Yesterday was the birthday of the
"landlady'' of the joint where the
woman died, and the "boarders" cele
brated the event in due style. These
things were brought out in the evidence
before the jury and more. But why
enlarge? It is the old storv and the
nmng enu oi a mo oi sname, extending i on jt 0M9 ()j
from early girlhood lor fifteen or sixteen I cret,j
years. .So evidence was produced to
show why tha woman took her ow n life,
and the jury returned a verdict in ac
cordance with the few facts here recited.
