of them desire to attend, as it was im

W. II. Vanbibber, as nice old man as
ever lived, has quit "peddling milk" in

tinuous services, says D. C. Ireland In
the Observer. Every morning of these
long years with one exception, at a little
Iter midnight Van covered the three
miles between The Dalles and bis ranch

nilklngs of the previous twenty -four
hours. He has grown rich and prosper
oris and might yean ago have retired
'rom business on an ample competency
hd not old habits kept him in the bar
He has sold tons of milk that he
never got any pay for; but never sued a
customer. Once ha was leaving the
'cteal fluid at an out of-the-way place to j
a poor widow with two invalid sons.
Noticing the difficulty which the grand
old man had to deliver that quart, a
cash customer close by remarked to Van
one bitter cild morning: "Why do you
do it? You'll never get a cent." "That's
here you're mistaken, my friend,"
said Van cheerfully, "God Alar'ghty has
paid that bid years in advance."
A four-horse team belonging to John
Proctor, of Klickitat county, while on

daeh hack to the neighborhood of Pease
it Mays' implement warehouse, where
they a ere stopped by Adolph sdmuder.
Ou Second etree; they collided with the
brewery wag in, which, however, was

J. 13. lirown, ot ttus city, wtio was
tried yesterday before Justice Brown
hill on complaint of J. W. Moore on the
charge of using obscene language in the
presence of Mre. Rachel Moore, wifa of
the complaining witness, was acquitted
of the crime, the evidence, in the opin
ion i f the justice, failing to prove the
charge. Mrs. Moore swore positively
that Brown, in a loud, angry voice, called
her vile name, in presence of Frank and
Mabel Spencer, who stood at a distance
of about 150 feet ; near enough, as Mrs
Moore admitted, for them to hear all
that was said. The defense put Frank
Spencer on the stand, who testified that
he and his sister heard Mr. Brown and
Mrs, Moore salute each other as they
met at the time mentioned iu the com
plaint; but Mr. Brown used none of the
language Mrs. Moore accused him of
using, and if he had lie (Mr. Spencer)
would have heard it. Tliren of Mr
Brown's neighbors were called and bore
strong testimony to Mr. Brown's good
reputation in the neigb borhood of his
home, where he has resided for two
years" as a peaceable and law-abiding
citizen.

A physician recommended that one of
the Roseburg citizens should take sul
phur in whiekey lor rheumatism. The

the Plaindealer savs he is doing as well
as could be expecta unuer uie circum
stances. W. II. Davis, the well-known Wapin
itia cattleman, arrived in town last
evening with a load of wheat, the first
he ever hauled here, and probably the
last, fof he believe fie can get more
than 60 cents a bushel out of his wheat
by feeding it to hogs.
C. L. Ireland of the Moro Observer
was in town today. He says Sherman
County will be largely represented at
the coming carnival ami very naturally
thinks that a little judicious advertising
in the Moro paper by the Dalles mer
chant would, at this paiticlar time,
bring good returns.

o'clock. At 1 p. m. Mr. Stephens will

there are others. The editor of this

needs it with his pants on, and uulees
the delinquent readers of this rag of
freedom pay up before Ion, he will Deed
bread without a darned tiling on."

Mr. W. W. Williams came down from

with his family. He reports that wheat

ties that the railroad company has no
tified the farmers that no more can be
received at that station till some of that

car next to the caboose, on which was
a number of Japanese employes of the

on the spot. Coroner Butts went down

The verdict ot the jury recites the bare
facts mentioned above and attributes
the deaths to "accidental collision."

eerlously. Their injuries were attended
to by Dr. Logan, of this city, and Dr.
Watts, of Hood River.

A young man of 25 years or so, who
was beating his way on an east-bound
freight train last night, was struck by
something, as he claims, and thrown
from the brake-beam to the ground and
came perilously near losing bis life. He
saved himself by grabbing an iron rod
and holding on for some six miles, till

An Ohio sheriff was taking a crazy
man to the Columbus asylum the other
day on tho train. At the next station
another sheriff with another lunatic got
on. The sheriff knew each other and
got talking, placing the two crazy men
in the seat before them. They also, of
course, got into conversation; one ask
ing his neighbor where he was going.
"I am going to the asylum at Colum
bus," said Crazy No. 1. "What is
your trouble?" asked Crazy No. 2.
"Business reverses and heavy financial
losses several years ago upset my mind
and I have been gradually worse. Now
let me ask where you are going." " Why,
j I aai going to Columbus to enter an
, asylum too." "Indeed, what's is the
I matter with you?" "Imperialism sent

Three girls, after 'a long bicycle ride,
stopped at a spring on the road-side to
have a drink. One of them, after re
freshing herself, playfully dashed a little
of the water on her wheel and said
1 baptize thee William McKinley, for
you made a good run." Another of the
girls repeated the performance as she
said : "I baptize thee, Teddy Rooee

water on her wheel, said: "I baptize
thee William Jennings Bryan, because
you're full of wind."

James Hagan was convicted of larceny
yesterday afternoon in Recorder Gates'
court and fined $75, which he will serve

near the store of Pease & Mays, she
dropped a five-doilar bill which she saw
Hogan pick up. She asked Hagan for
the bill but he denied having found it.

The patron of the Vogt opera house
have a genuine trip to Chinatown
Wednesday evening, Oct. loth. Chas.
E. Hlaney's elaborate fcenic production
of the "King i;f the Opium Kiiijj" is
equal to a visit to the famous China
town, of Fianciso. The atniosnhere of
the play and the locality of its action
are faithfully portrayed. The produc
tion is a novelty, and that, first ct all,
commends it. It is the only production
on the road which gives decidedlv inter
esting pictures of Chinatown. The firct
act shows the bay of San Francisco with
the golden gate in the distance, with the
revenue cutter in hot pursuit of the
smugglers' yacht. The second act is a
scene iu the Chinese quarter under
ground, and show the interior of an
opium j tnt and the effects of the deadly
drug. The third act opens with a street
scene in Chinatown. The dark change
follows and the linm re turned ou a
market in the heart .1 Chii.atowt. on
the celebration of Chinese new year, the
scene being beautifully illuminated and
decoiated with lanterns, flags, etc. In
this act the wonderful acrobatic feat of
tho Chinese gymnasts takes place.

P. Watson's big squash, ho was remind
ed of the big squashes grown in Nebras
ka, He said he worked for a man who
had five acres In corn and .so Hashes.
The squashes were so big they couldn't
get them into a common wagen bed and
had to put on the hay rack to haul them
in from the field. The man took off
enough squashes to fatten sixty head of
beef cattle that winter, besides forty
bunhels of corn to the acre. A man from
Frankton who heard the big squash story
said a rancher in Montana was growing
a big squash for the state fair. A care
less hired man, in hoeing about the
squash, accidentally cut it off the vine.
The rancher was greatly grieved at his
loss, hut the hired man said lie could
raise it by hand. Fortunately the stem
was still on the equash, and procuring a
pan of milk, the stem was inserted and
the milk soon disappeared. The squash
was fed in this way until ripe. It was
taken to the state fair and took the
the premium for being the largest of its
kind. On opening it a nice roll of Jersey
butter was found in the center. Hood

A Hoatload of Piano.
The sidewalk in front of the Jacobsen
Book & Music Company's store was
literally blockaded with fine pianos and
organs yesterday morning, and passers-
by were simply astonished to find that
nearly all these instruments were of the
most expensive makes.
Among the many fine pianos a'.ready
in the store is a very fancy, upright
Cbickering, an exact duplicate of one
recently purchased in Port'and by Mrs.
J. A. Geisendorffer and also by Senator
J. N. Williamson, and a duplicate of the
beautiful cabinet grand Weber recently
secured by St. Mary's Academy, and
then there is also one vt the beautiful
world's fair exhibition models of the
famous new scale Kimball pianos in
fancy quarter sawed English oak case.
This instrument is the most beautiful
piano, both in tone, quality and appear
ance, that has ever been shipped to The
Dalles, ami is bound to attract the en
thusiastic admiration of musicians and
lovers of the artistic anil beautiful.

town, that of Pease & Mays and Fred
Houghton's drug store. The buildings
destroyed wero of orrugated iron and
were in a block. The store oiPense.dc
Mays was 50x100 feet. The drug store
was 25x75 and there was an empty store
adjoining of the same size. These two
belonged to Mrs. Lord, of this city.
The buildings are a total loss. From
the drug store nothing was saved bnt a

thirds of the dry goods in the Pease &
Mays store were saved. All else went
np in smoke. The building and store
goods were insured.

learned of it on his arrival, bad his
office and rooms in the building and

The New York Herald published a
poll of states yesterday, showing : Mc
Kinley, 258 votes; Bryan, 168; and
doubtful, 21. The doubtful states are
Indiana, Montana and Idaho, with the
indications that they are more likely to
go for McKinley than for Bryan. The
states which voted for Bryan four years
ago, and are given as sure to vote for
McKinley, are South Dakota, Kansas,
Washington and Wyoming. The states
which voted for McKinley four years
ago, and are placed in the Bryan column
this year, are Kentucky and Maryland.
The Herald says that the foil is made
after a most careful Invtstwi.tiou by its
correspondents in every tart of the
country. Nothing but a great upheaval,
of which there is no sign, ecu Id change
the result, sccording to its view. Os

Stuats Zeitung, lias d.clared against
Bryan. He is the most potent German
influence in the country, ami wi l prob

Germans from the republican I arty.
