When dug up she was none the worse for the ordeal. She bad clerked In a store that never advertised. News reached this office Monday of bloodly battle last Friday between the Irish guards and French xouavea of Kingsley. After considerable skirmish ing, the contestants come together in brief but decisive battle, which resulted in a victory for France. No lives lost and but slight wounds on either side, At last accounts both sides were resting on their arms. Dufur Dispatch. The height of modesty hss been reached by some women who objected to being saved from a wrecked ship by us ing the breeches buoy. To overcome any such objection in future it is suggested that a canvas skirt be sewed on the out Bide of the breeches. M. J. Anderson and T. H. Johnston spent several days last week in the mountains prospecting a ledge of granite rock. They are not blowing much but think they have found something good, which they propose to develop in the near future. Dufur Dispatch. A.

Mrs. Paul Kreft and family desire through Tin Chronicle to express their heartfelt thanks to the Woodmen and the associate orders, and to the friends and neighbors who have extended so much sympathy and exhibited so much kindness towards them during the sick ness and burial of the husband and father, and the loss of their borne by fire. We had the pleasure recently of an inspection of the extensive collection of Indian curios which Miss Anna Lang has iiathered together at the home ol Mrs. Lang in The Dalles. It is a rare collection, filling shelves and the walls of several rooms. Miss Lang makes a study of this work and can read the relics like printed book. As each ar ticle has Its legend this makes an in spection very interesting to the visitor. Moro Observer, H. W. Weber, brother of R. H. Web ber, of this city, arrived here tills week with his family from Kendrick, Idaho, nd will make his futire hosye here. Mr. Wsher, like his brother, is an ex perienced nurseryman.

Sheriff Kelley lias succeeded in having 'rested at Albany Pen Ferrill, ho steamboat traffic was suspended betaeen tola a gold watch soma time ago from I C. L. Rogers, of Hood River. The watch was found at the shop of Adcox I 4 Co., of this city, where Ferrill bad left it to have the name of the owner scratched off the case. It was returned to the owner and Ferrill narrowly es caped arrest. Sheriff Keily sent out notices of Ferrill'a crime, together with a description of the thief, and bat final-! ly succeeded in locating him at Albany. Constable Hill left here this morning to bring him back for trial. The Dufor Dispatch says: "G. W. Brown, teacher of the intermediate de partment of the Dufur public school, came home Monday. Mr. Brown has been with the surveyors, who are sur veying the railroad iine from The Dalles to Prineville via Dufur, for the past two months. He says that tbey have reached a point about two miles above the old Maupin ferry site on the Des chutes and so far have found an easy inexpensive route, with exception per haps of two miles, and even those two miles he does not considtr exceptionally bad or expensive to build. The camp ef the turveyort is on the eve of being moved to Trout creek, Crook county, and Mr. Brown disliking the idea of get' ting to far from borne, resigned his posi tion and returned to the bosom of bis family." A. B. Faircbild is in tows from Grass Valley. In company with his son, E A. Fairchlld, and C. A. Heath, Mr Fairchild tecently went on a prospecting tour through the Sumpter, Greenhorn, Prairie City, Strawberry Butte and Granite districts and was rewarded in finding five claims that they think will well repay development. From these point! they went to Trout creek, in Crook county, where they located three claims, of twenty acres each and did considerable development work. Assays of gold and silver from these claims were very satisfactory. Mr. Fairchild thinks the Trout creek or Ash wood mining district has a bright future be fore it. In his opinion no one need go to Klondike in search of gold, as there is more gold in Eastern Oregon, almost at our very doors. Mr. Fairchild has a high opinion of the Golden Eagle mine in the Greenhorn district, that is owned b Dalles parties. Monday's Dally. Buy one of our straw bats and reduce the temperature. Pease & Mays. Henry Johnson, formerly a black smith in the O. R. & N. Company's shops at this place, died at Albina last Friday.

Wili the owner of that cow with a bell on, that nocturnally serenades the citi zens on Fourth, In the neighborhood of Liberty, please lock after her? There is only one man in this town who likes to hear such jingling, namely, the poundmaster. It is said the Chinese pheasants aie very plentiful this year. A farmer on the Mohawk tays while mowing hay the other day he spent half of bis time kick ing the pheasants out of the way of the sickle to prevent cutting their heads off and violating the game law. Eugene Register. Now that the Iralda is a Dalles boat it will be interesting to Dalles people to know the name Iralda is derived from the first two letters of the names of the three sons of Captain Newsonie, the boat's former owner, Irn, Alfred and David. So says The Dallas Monthly Star. The father of F. W. Habeniclit, who was killed on the 14th instant fourteen miles, this tide of Arlington by being struck on the head by a sand board while standing on the steps of a railroad car, writes ti The Chronicle from the Musicians' Club, Detroit, Michigan, ask ing for a copy of The Chronicle giving an account of his boy's death.

A Portland boy tramp was run over by a freight train yesterday evening at a (point on the O. R. A N. road about Ave miles below Hood River. The lad had been beating bis way, and claims he was thrown from the car by one of the taain men. One of his feet was so mashed at the ankle that it had to be amputated by Dr. Watt, of Hood River, where he was brought on a hand car for treatment. We did not learn the boy's name. The steamer Billings, of the Paul Mohr portage company, while making her first trip from Wallula to Columbus yesterday, ran on the rocks at Quinn's, this side of Arlington, and is fast there with her bew completely smashed In. The above information was received here this noon by telephone. Inquiries at the office of the Central Navigation Company conQimed the news, but add ed no further information. Messrs. John Merriam, W. J. Sin clair and II. W. Furlong, of the Berke ley university, Calif., are in the city on their way home from an extended fossil hunt on the forks of the John Day. They are very much pleased with the result of their trip. They secured about two tons of fosBils of animals, some of which are very valuable. They secured three beads and portions of the bones of the species known as tbe three-toed horee, besides numerous bones of mas todon and rhinoceros. A small boy, who is a close observer and somewhat of a poet, gave a history of his father's pants as follows: "When dad has worn his breeches out, tbey pass to brother John, then ma she trims them round about and William puts them on. - When William's legs too long have grown and the trousers fail to hide 'em, then Walter claims 'em for his own and hides himself inside 'em ; next Sim's fat legs tbey close Invest, and when tbey won't stretch tighter, they're turned and shortened for roe the writer. Ma works 'em into cafs and rugs when I have burst the stitches. At doomsday we, perhaps, shall s je tbe last of dad's old britches." Charlie Evans, the old-time and ever popular locomotive engineer of the O. R. & N. Company, tells a good story at tne expense of the very considerable obesity he has developed since the loss of his right foot. Charlie met an old friend last Satnrday who declared the retired engineer had got so fat be hardly knew him ami added: "Come and see , 1 it uy wile. I II net sue won i miow you. To the wife thev both went and the husband introduced Charlie by saying: "Here is an old friend ol yours. I'll bet you don't know him," "Yes I do," said the lady, "you just wait a moment till I recall iiis name." In a few sec onds the lady proudly raised her head ml sit id, "I knew him the miruite I .... .i.tir. taw lilm. ny u a .nr. uuu nun joe. Tupwliiy pally. A small clip of wool was sob! jester- day afternoon at twelve cents a pound. The regular monthly meeting of the water commissioners will be held this evening at 8 o'clock. John E. Jacobsen, of White Salmon, was in town yesterday trying to dispose of 100 tons of green prunes, but without success. Leagues are being formed in Portland to fight the cigarette. It should be made hot for it generally, the nasty lit tle coffin nail, without a redeeming fea ture about it. From Mr. Paul Mohr Tna Chronicle learns that the damago to the steamer Billings is not material, and that the Central Navigation Company expects to have her floated off the rocks at Quinn's tomorrow. t Agent W. C. Allaway writes to the Astoria Regatta committee that his com pany has arranged to send a boat to Astoria with a distinguished party and to make rates to Portland in connection with tbe trains and boats. An exchange says the run of salmon taxes the capacity of the facilities for handling the fish on the lower Colum bia. And the run of salmon on the middle river taxes the capacity of the wheelmen to know where they are go ing to get the money to pay their em ployes. Wiliiara Sturgis, a lad of 10 years, was arre'ted here this morning by Mar shal Hughes in response to a telephone message from the Boys' and Girls' Aid Society. The lad had been placed with a Multnomah family, but, to use his own expression, struck for higher wages. He will be returned to the Boys' and Girls' Aid Society. Tbe temporary chairman of the Ne braska middle-of-the-road popnliet con vention, held in Col. Bryan's own capital says that "tbe bogey man of imperialism will not frighten tbe populists." The bogey man of imperialism will not frighten anybody else in particular, though that is the mission of the said bogey man. An Englishman has recently been buncoed out of $125,000 on a mining deal in Dawson City. Tbe man wbo sold the mine went to the commissioner and told him he wanted to pay the roy alty of $60,000 that be had taken out of his claim, and paid tbe necessary $0000. For this he received a receipt, with the aid of which he induced tbe Britisher to buy. Then he skipped, and when the Britisher found out that he had been "done," the miner was not to be found. C. W. Haight yesterday bet a twenty dollar gold piece against 200 pounds of pork with John Roth, of Kingsley, that MuKinley would succeed himself. Char ley is so confident that he is going to win that he hss contracted to furnish all the pork sausage the Chronicle man may need for the coming winter. Charles Brune, son of the late Charles Brune, of North Dalles, died yesterday afternoon of a fever contracted while herding sheep in the mountains north west of Klickitat county. The deceased bad been ill for nearly a month and his death was not nnexpectod. His aye was about 20 years. He was buried this afternoon on the Brune ranch, beside the grave of his father. Civil Engineer Oirar Huber, Judge Bennett and J. P, Mclnerny returned at noon today from a reconnaisance of the Deschutes river between the free bridge and Trout creek, Crook county. The object of the trip was to determine the feasibihty cf a railroad between this city and Klamath county bv way ot the Deschutes, at least as fir as Crook county. An Astorian dispatch of the 30th says: "The run of fish still continues excellent and the gillnetters and Feigners are reaping a great harvest." Which prompts Tux Chronicle to suggest that the gill netters and seigners should be stopped, once and for ever, from destroying the salmon industry at Astoria and only the wheels and traps on the Upper river, that catch nothing, because there is nothing to catch, be allowed to operate. There were ten or twelve of us, and we were gathered in front of the Salt marshe office from Germany, Ireland, England, Scotland, the Isle of Man, Dutchland, and possibly somewhere else. Said a Manxman, "Let us see the poli tics ot this crowd. I'll bet they're all republicans but one, that Irishman." Said the lone newspaper man in tbe crowd, "I'll bet that Irishman is all right." Then the lohe Irishman an swered: "Gentlemen, I voted for Bry an four years ago, but you bet your life I won't do it again. McKinley is good enough for me. I am going to vote this time to let well enough alone." Teachers' Kiamlnationi.

Boss Bryan's silver plank demands "an American financial system." We have it by order of the 11,104,779 people who voted for McKinley in 1890. Journal. A hct campaign? No. The people are satisfied with tho present condition of affairs and are seeking no change. For a hot ca'mpaign it needs a dissatis fied people. The American people ara well pleased with the existing condi tions. A hot campaign? Nit I Crl terlan. The New York World, the leading democratic newspaper in New York, says in relation to the 1ft to 1 folly which Bryan peremptorily ordered into tbe democratic platform, that "no mat ter what any politicians from this state may say to the contrary, New York it not in favor of free coinage at 14 to 1, and cannot be carried on that issue thrust aggressively to the front as it still is by Mr. Bryan." It is the esteemed Jacksonville Times whose editor helped twice to nominate Bryan, which makes this profound ob servation: "The price of tea was raised three cents a pound last week. Thus does the cost of every necessary of life Increase in these piping times of repub lican prosperity, without an adequate enhancement in the wages of the major ity of those who are in the least able to endure it." Welt, if the partial fail ure of the tea crop in Japan and the war in China have nothing to do with the rise in the price of tea, but it is to be laid at the door of the republican ad ministration, then In all fairness the Jacksonville editor should not criticise the republican organs for ascribing large crops and healthy babies to the same source. He Is in even a worse boat than they. Telegram. Sunilroke t akuowu V Mere. Mrs. J. Stewart, wife of Editor Stew art, ol the Fossil Journal, was prostrated by heat on the 24th.
