They will remain over till the next train and proceed to Pendleton to attend the carnival at that place. The night watchman la't night ar rested a rancher from White Salmon for drunkenness. The man had considera ble money on his person, which his im prisonment probably kept him from squandering. As no charge was booked against him, the recorder turned him loose this morning. We have a long list of country and city property for sale cheap.

Hudson & Brown hill, opposite U. S. land office. R. T. Elton brought to town this morning the scalps of three catamounts, which he killed recently near his house on the north fork of Mill creek. One of them he shot and the others trapped. The two trapped were big fellows that were capable of doing a heap of mischief around a farm house or among a band of sheep. At 2 o'clock this afternoon Marshal Driver arrested a white man, a stranger in the city, for selling liquor to Indians. The man is said to have furnished enough liquor to a lot of Indians in the F.ast End yesterday to have made them all drunk. One of them, who is known as Charlie Tumwater, was so drunk this afteriuon that the marshal had to half earry him to the lock-up, where lie now languishes. Thero is a practically unlimited de mand for all weighty mules of the best claps. In East St. Louis a pair that brought the scale-beam up Bt 3,200 pounds changed hands at $175, which is the host price reported paid in years on Ihat market. A f ill carload of good, ''g, though not extra mules recenily brought i:j5 around at the same point and the orders for that sort are very far ' being tilled. This Chiiomci k has it on good author ity that the difficulties of the Paul Mohr portage w ill souii lie adjusted, and prob 'V in time to handle a portion of this year's crop of grain. The company has "Hers, from various sources, of all the money it will require to discharge exist ing obligations and start the plant into operation. They are now considering ihich ofler it will be best to accept. When a determination is arrived at it will only require two or three weeks to bave the plant ready for handling freight. Two Astoria men got to discussing P'litics, when one of them told tho other that he didn't have as much sense dog, whereupon the other pnlled his revolver and fired, but hit nothing but the air. Albany Democrat. The real point in the incident referred to Las been overlooked by the Democrat man, and is real'y funny. The facts as re ported are that one mil toll the other not to be too dogmatic in his political statements. The other, wlu was a poor linguist, imagined he had betn likened to a dog, and immediately went on the warpath, resulting in the shooting. He was evidently a disciple of Bryanism. At least one ancient widower in this town is reaping a harvest of fun from the balloting for the queen of the carnival. We met him this morning with his pockets stuffed with tickets that he had just purchased from Charlie Stephens. He explained that he bad to buy the tickets in self defense. Since the balloting begAn all the pretty girls on the bluff where be lives, w henever he happened to meet them, wanted to kiss him, and the thing has got so tiresome that now whenever one of them puckers her lips he just hands her a ticket, and tells her to go and vote it for herself. That pleases the girl and saves his lips a good deal of unnecessary wear and tear. A few months ago a paragraph was going the rounds of the press alleging that Mrs. Eddy, the founder of Chris tian Science, wbb suffering from a can cer that was expected to soon end her life. The Chbonicle published the paragraph, having no reason to suspect that it was a pure invention, which it now turns out to be. For Mrs. Eddy, who is very retired in her habits, lately appeared in public at th-s Concord state fair and notwithstanding her age, which is said to he more thin three score and ten, it was remarked that "she is youth ful in appearance and vigorous in every act and movement. Her bright, spark ling eye, her clear, fair complexion, her quick, vivacious movements, bespoke a strong body and a forceful intellect." Whatever people may think of Mrs. Eddy's theories tf healing, it is very evident they lied about her who said she was suffering from a fatal disease. In addition to the $1,500,000 worth of work done in the past fiscal year by the O. R. & N. Co., in straightening curves, replacing bridges, etc., on its line the Baker City Demncrat says: A few days ago President A. L. Mohler let contracts for 500,000 worth of additional work, which w ill put the road bed of this com pany into the best possible condition and ranking with any transcontinental or trunk line road. A large force of men was put to work this week between tunnel No. 3, just west of The Dalles and a point twelve miles beyond, and in cluding tunnel No. 2. From a careful inspection made of this section of the line it can be said with confidence that it is the most important work yet ever undertaken by the company, and will absorb more than $300,000 of the new appropriation. This section of the line has been one of the most crooked on the road, following all of the curves of the river, and has been a bugbear to the transportation department for years. In a distance of eight miles, the im provements contracted for will elimin ate 91)0 degrees of track curvation ; will reduce grades and replace bridges with rock tilling. In straightening ifct this piece of track a new tunnel will bo made just west of tunnel No. 2 and wi'l be GOO feet in length. Nine miles of new work has also been commenced at Echo in the way of changing the line, curves and grades. Saturday'! Dully. Parties from Crook county recently bought 400 head of hogs in the Wapini tia country. They were bought for de livery to the purchasers Oct. 1st. Elder Paul Kruger has taken charge of The Dalles Christian church of this city and will enter upon his work at once. His family will be here shortly. Stophen Caleinzie was arraigned in the recorder's court this morning for being in a beastly state of intoxication last night and fined $5, which he paid. The executive committee of The Dalles carnival and street fair have de cided that the vote for queen of the carnival will close Tuesday, Oct. 2nd, at 9 o'clock sharp. Tumwater Charley, the Tumwater si wash, who was arrested yesterday for drunkenness, was arraigned this morn ing before his honor, Judge Gates, and after depositing 3 In the city treasury was discharged. Congressman Tongue will speak in Washington three times during the campaign. Governor Geer will stump sections of Idaho and Washington. It is not definitely settled whether or not the Governor will take in Ohio. IIul-Hiii tk Brownhill are receiving enquiries daily from the east for 'farm property, and any persons having farms for sale would do well to place them in their uands for cale, and thereby get. ad vantage of their extensive advertising frco of cost. E. G. Colter recintly purchased 400 head of cows with calves and dry cows in the southeastern pari of this county and in Harney, paying fIJO for the former and f25 for the latter. He will take them to his farm on lower Trout for breeding purposes. C. W. Phelps, a former resident of this city and father of Attorney G. W. Phelps of Heppner, died of dropsy of the heart at Berkeley, Calif., yesterday morning. The remains will arrivo here on the noon train tomorrow snd the (uneral will take place at 3 o'clock p. in. from Crandall A Burgett's undertaking rooms. riemis of the deceased are in vited to be present. The fishing records have all gone broke, says the Glacier. Win. Stewart in four hours' fishing at Tucker's bridge Monday afternoon hooked twenty sal- trout, the aggregate weight of a rr, which was fcrty five pounds. This at an average of a fish every, twelve minutes, and it takes ten minutes to land a salmon trout. Mr. Stewart savs he qutt in disgust when he pulled out salmon, or he would have been fishing yet. The catch was made with a bare fly-hook, and is what you would call genuino sport. Monday Daily. At Lyle, Club wheat is selling at 51 cents and Bluestem at 54 cents. A Kentucky editor, given to imagery characterizes the deadhead subscriber as the "veriform appendix of newspa perdom Shaniko now has telegraphic comma nication with the world at large, the wires being put in at that place Monday morning Having been questioned several times regarding her candidacy for queen of the carnival, Miss Myrtle Michell takes this means of announcing that she is not a candidate for that honor. The marriage of Mr. M. Fitzgerald, of Mitchell, and Mies Evelyn Maddron, of this city, will be celebrated at the Chris. tian church at 8 o'clock tonight. The pastor. Elder Paul Krnger, will officiate The Skamania Pioneei says a contract lias been let to get out telephone poles to connect Stevenson with Cascade Locks, and the contractor and a foice of men began getting out the poles last Monday. Mr. I. N. Sargeant left at this office this morning a lot of very handsome ap pies of the King of Tompkins county variety that were grown on the Ed Wii son ranch on Eight Mile and a bunch of grapes that tipped the beam at 2' pounds. if you contemplate building a house and desire one of the finest locations in the city, we have it for sale. Three lots 50x120 each, which cost the owner $500, if sold within the next thirty days we are authorized to lake $300, cash. This is a great bargain. Hudson & Brown- bill. ine last term ot circuit court in Wheeler county cost the taxpayers just $198.50, there being a very light docket, says the Fossil Journal. This expense was more than met by a fine of $200 im posed npon a saloon man named Derr, who was convicted of selling liquor with out a county license. Wheat-hauling has commenced in good earnest, and from the indications today it would appear that it has only commenced. There were strings of wagons this afternoon leading from the warehouses to half way up the brewery hill. Threshing is nearly over and from now on the East End will be the busiest part of town. Fruit growers will be interested in learning that the Oliver Chilled Plow Company will give a 10-inch Oliver Chilled vineyard plow to the farmer or orchardist making t'te best exhibit of fruits at the coming fair. It is expected that a number of other valuable prizes will be offered for exhibits, w hich will be reported later. C. McPherson, ot Hay Creeki Crook county, returned here yeaterday morn ing after delivering at Fossil eighty-six head of yearling cattle, which he and S. G. Douthit, of Cross Keys, sold to Wy oming parties at tiie.rate of $20 and $22 a head. Mr. Mo Pherson, who is an ex penenced cattle man, thinks it more profitable to part with his yearlings at these prices than to run the chances and expenses involved in keeping them over a couple of winters. Allen Fligg, of Endersbv, and Mrs. Lizzie Farris, of this city, were united in marriage at 3 o'clock this morning by Rev. W. B. Clifton at the residence of the bride's mother, Mrs. Davis, on Fourth street. Mr. and Mrs. Fligg left immediately after the ceremony for Portland, where they expect to spend about a week, and, on returning, will make their home on tho Fligg ranch, near Endersbv. The Chronicle wishes Mr. anJ Mrs. Fligg many happy days.

A fore 9 of cirpontcrs commenced this morning on a 24x40, two-story building for J. T. Peters on the lot east of the millinery store of Mrs. Periano on Second stret. When completed the lower story will, in part, be occupied by Mr. Blon din's barber shop. Another force of men will commence, in a day or two, the erection of a 10x40 building for F. W. L, Skibbo on the lot immediately east of the Ohurr hotel which, when finished, will be opened as a meat mar ket. Marshal Farrier, of Arlington, who Friday night shot and killed a negro by the name of Jones, whom he took to be ! connected with the robbery of Mays - 1 A Crowe's store a few hours before, and lcause the negro refuted to throw op his bands when ordered and made aj motion towards his hip as though he: was going to draw a pinto' on the mar- shal, was arrested yesterdav ou a war-1 rnt issued on the affidavit of the county , nA.,H... It. a tf T 1 n . coroner, Dr. A. II. Rudey. Farrier's examination was set for 2 o'clock this afternoon. The secretary of the State Press Asso ciation shows that there are in Oregon nineteen dailies, 173 weeklies, five semi weeklies, forty-four monthlies, two semi-monthlies, one quarterly ; a total of 241 publications. He classes these papers according to the fields they rep resent, as follows: Republican 97; democratic 24; people's 14; independ ent 44; religious 27; poultry 2; mining 3; miscellaneous 14; stock and agricul tural C; fraternal 9; youths' 2; drugs 2; college 5; lumber 1; medical 1; labor 2; commercial I; prohibition 1. Total 244. The Umatilla House has secured the services of Mr. George Stoll as chef, who comes to The Dalles very highly recom mended, having been connected with some of the best kitchens in America. He has been with the Alisky Winter Garden in Portland since it opened, and previous to this was chef at the Butler Hotel in Seattle. The Rio Grande dining car and hotel service was under his charge. The Knntsford, of Salt Lake, grew under his management of the kitchen to bave one of the best tables in the west. Among other hotels Mr. Stoll has been connected with may be mentioned the Auditorium and Le land hotels, of Chicago, which in itself speaks for his ability as a first-class chef, Sinnott & Fish are certainly to be congratulated on securing the services of Mr. Stoll, as he no doubt will make the dining room second to none. Ld Rondeau, a former resident of Tygh Ridge, now of Gervais, Marion county. In company with his wife and two children, took the train here this afternoon for home, after working for ohout five weeks with the threehing crew of Leon Rondeau & Co.. of Kings ley. The machine is a new 32-inch J. I. Case, and in a run of thirty-eight days it threshed 75,000 bushels of grain. The largest day's run was 1400 sacks, which, at an average of 140 pounds to the sack, equaled 3266 bushels. In three hours, at the close of the week's run of week oeiore last, ouu sacks ot Parley were threshed, giving three sack sewers all they could do for the time. Mr. Ron deau thinks the average yield for all kinds of grain threshed by the Rondeau machine was easily thirty-five bushels to the acre. Some wheat fields yielded as Ingti as fifty bushels and the lowest yield of any was from a field of volunteer that went twenty-five bushels to the acie. Mr. Kondeaa, who had abundant experience in wheat-raising on Tygh Ridge in former years, says the average cost of raising this year's crop on the ridge will not exceed thirty cents i bushel. In many cases it will not ex ceed twenty-five cents. So that a Tygh Ridger with from 5000 to 10,000 bushels, even at. the low price of fifty cents a bushel, will have a handsome profit for this yen's labor. Wlae Suggestion.

MAYS & CROWE'S STORE ROBBED Kohbary Lad la Hi Ilrath ot a N (io at Arlington, au,l Altar All Waa I'rohahljr Arriuplihd hf Loral talrtl. " The store of Mays A Crowe was robla-d as-t night of Colt's revolvers, raurs and pocket knives to the ' value, aa near as can be estimated, of about $125. The thieves obtained entrance to the store by unlatching the hook of the iron shut ter of a back window and forcing the window open. The unUtehing was easily accomplished by a small pine stick that the robbers discarded and which was found Iving on the ground at the base of the window, The window was evidently forced by a stronger in strument, as the marks of its pressure is visible on the window till. A bullet hole was made in the plate glass at the east front entrance of the store, for what reason it is impossible to determine. Tho roblery occurred alter midnight and Marshal Driver, on being Informed of it, ttlephoned to the marshal at Arl ington to be on the look out for suspi cious characters, w ith the result that on the arrival of tiie next passenger train from The Dal es the Arlington marshal hailed a negro, who dropped off the train, and ordered him to throw up his hands. The negro made as If he was reaching for a pistol and the marshal shot bim dead. The dead man, it was found, had no weapon and none of the stolen goods were found on him. As the store of Pease & Mays has been robbed a number of times during the past three or four years, it is not in the least improbable that this last robbery, and probably the oihere, was done by local talent. Special Meeting- ,.r Uio Council. A special meeting of the council was held Inst nii;ht. at w hich F. Lempke, W Shackelford, F. Gunning, J. L. Kelly and H. Liebo were present, with Mayor Dufur in the chair. C. L. Phillips, representing the street carnival, requested the council to pass an ordinance giving the fair mannge ment the right to occupy so much of the public streets as may be deemed neces sary. The council proceeded to pasj an ordinance giving the fair the right of exclusive use and occupation for the space of five days, from October 9th to October 11th inclusive, of all that part of Third street situated between Jeffer son and Washington, lying between the sidewalks on both sides of Third stret; also Laughlin street from the alley be tween Second and Third streets to fifty feet south of tho south line of Third Btreet. At the request of Mr. Phillips another ordinance was passed granting to the officers of the Street Fair and Carnival all moneys that may be collected for licenses, as provided by city ordinance, for any show, exhibition, game or privi lege that may operate or exhibit during the time of the fair, when such are con ducted in the fair or in connection there with.

Tha Kntlr Midway Attraction of la I'uMlaud (arniral Will II liar. i There is no longer a shadow of donht I that the coming fair and carnival will ; he the Litest thing of the kind ever ! re n in The Dalles. It wiil not only have the biggest and best exhibit of the products of the county, but it will hava a greater number of other attractions than ever before m t in the city at one lime. The executive committee bai secured the presence of all the attrac tions that were recently gathered in the Midway at the Portland carnival; seven big shows that will require a w hole rail road train to bring them here. Russell A Co., the big implement house of Port land, will have two traction engines and two separator on the ground, and abundance of unthreshed wheat to give threshing exhibitions nightly bv electric lights generated by their own dinaino. The committee has contracted with the local Electric Light Co. for 15 arc lights of 2lH)0 candle power each, w hich ougtt to make the grounds as light as day; while every booth and stall will be lighted up with its own incaudescents. Architects are at work drawing plana for the structural works, and it is ex pected that the committee will be ready to entertain bids for their erection by tomorrow. The co operation of farmers and horticulturists is earnestly solicited in order that the exhibits along their lines may be equal to the occasion and worthy of Wasco's magnificent capacity and resources. " A. Stray l'rrtiinnliig Doir I Adopted by Many Hyde I'ark lleat denta. A stray poodle that dances on Its two hind feet and holds a lighted cigar in ita mouth bus uppeared fre quently in the neighborhood of the Hyde Park police Motion of late, says a Chicago paper. It i.s thought Unit the animal has escaped from some show. Almost every morning' the dog iniiy be seen on Luke avenue, near Fifty-third street, doing a number of antics for tunic children. The dog has no license, but it is thought that inside of a short while some thought ful person will ndopt the canine. It can waltz beautifully. In f;iet, the niiimul will always start to move its feet nt the sound of music. Many of the policemen of the Hyde Purk station have taken a great fancy to the nnimul and frequently given it food out of their own lunch enns. The dog i known by the name of Jack and ever Bince the little fellow hns in iid c its appearance in the neigh borhood Jack has become a household word. As Boon ns a Hyde Parker liv ing in the vicinity of Lake avenue and Fifty-third street speaks of Jack everybody knows what he or she ia talking about. Every morning Jack makes a round of nil the houses. When the dor ap peared in Hyde Park one day lately he was very thin, but nlrendy a no ticeable change is apparent in his con dition. Jack can with ease hold a lighted cignr in its mouth for five minutes. Some of the boys hnve made a habit of givinjr the animal bits of cigarettes to hold between Its sharp teeth. DOES NOT LIKE ELECTRICITY. Poet Qaeen of Uoamanla Will Not Have Her Gnllerlea Property MBbted. Elizabeth, the poet queen of Rou- mnnui, better known to the reading world' ns Carmen Silvn, shores with Queen Victoria a dislike for electric lights, and opposed, their use in her apartments until quite recently. Her boudoir was lighted by crystal flow ers, in the heart of which pleamed pale, colored1 lights. The place is tilled' with panel pictures and' verse), all written by the queen or painted by one of her gifted court ladies. The great dining hall Is ornamented with tall panels illustrating the principal works of Carmen Silva's novels, re mances and poems. The room is very somber, being furnished with black osik and cordovan leather and' lighted only by stained glass windows, bril liant in color nnd representing court balls, weddiing bouquets nnd other rny.ii festivities, but nevertheless they prevent the sun from penetrating the gloomy grandeur of the apartment. And this is why the queen, who loves beauty and harmony, stricty forbids the wearing of black or dark dresses nt her table. She prefers a uniform to conventional evening dress and does not shrink from any fancy dress if it be gay nnd pretty. CASTOR i A For Infants and Children. The Kind You Hava Always Bough!
