So successful has been inoculation
agaiiiBt cholera among coolies employed
by tea planters in India that the ratives
are now eager for the simple operation.
The planters have clauses in their con
tracts calling for inoculated coolies.

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. As an
illustration we c in sell you a good five
room house with two lots, 50x120; good
barn and well of pure cold water; twelve

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

"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.

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.

$198.50, there being a very light docket,

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.

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

expenses involved in keeping them over
a couple of winters.

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.
If there is any chance to boom your
town, boom it. Don't be a clam. Don't
be a kicker. Don't pull a long face and
get sour in your stomach. Hope a bit.
Get. a smile on you. Hold up your
head. Get a hold with both hands;
then pull. Bury your hatchet. Drop
your tomahaw. . Hide your little ham
mer. When a stranger comes here jolly
him. Tell hi m this is the best town on
the coast. It is. Don't get mulish.
Don't roast. Just j illy. All men like
to be jdlied, always. So jolly. Get
popular. It's dead easy. Help your
self along. Push your friends with you,
and soon you'll have a whole procession.
No man ever helped himself by knock
ing other people down, lou cannot
climb the ladder of fame by stepping on
other people's corns. They're their
corns, not yours. And they're tender.
Keep off the corns. All men are not
alike. Once in a while you may find
one who is very much alike; but some
are different. You are not the only
shirit in the wash. If you don't like
their style, let 'em alone. Don't knock.
Walk right in. Anil make yourself look
pleasant, You'.'l get used to It. There's
no end of fun in minding your own bu-
iness. It mahes other people like you
better. Better have other people stuck
on you than get stock nn yourself. Xc-
hoi Iv gets stuck on a kicker. Don't be
one, nor two.
The street fair is coming. It needs
your help. Put your shoulder to the
wheel. Get a move on yourself. And

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

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

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

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.
