LOCAL BREVITIES.
The East End is remarkably quiet
today.
The fire and other bells will ring at
7 :30 this evening.
Mr. F. M. Thompson and J. H. Gilniore
f Dufur are in the city.
Mr. Orien Kinersly and Dr. J. G. Boyd
-went to Hood River yesterday.
Miss Dell Crook, ,of Goldendale, is
visiting her sister Mrs. John Filloon.
There is quite a enow fall between
here and Portland and the storm still
continues.
Mr. MacLeod, of the firm of Mac
Eachern & MacLeod, went to the sound
yesterday.
The case of Flaherty against the rail
road company was taken up at 1 o'clock
this afternoon.
The board of trade last night decided
not to purchase the boats on the upper
river, but to build here instead.
The jury in the case of Carlsen against
the railroad company brought in a ver
dict for the plaintiff for $3,606.66. '
Mr. Ben E. Snipes shipped a carload
of hogs to Seattle yesterday. There
were 81 of them and they weighed 16,000
pounds.
The wires are down and locals as scarce
as hen's teeth ; none of the force were on
a jamboree last night although we,proud
ly admit that the paper looks like it.
The following railroad cases have been
settled in court today by the railroad
company paying $ 2000 and costs: John
J, Flaherty, Ingeborg Frost, Thomas
Coyle and Henry Restorff.
It is probable now that Judge Webster
can be pursuaded to remain here until
the docket is cleared. A bill passed
recently gives his district an extra judge
and this will inake it possible for him to
remain here.
The wires have been down nearly all
day, but a dispatch oyer the railroad
wire stated that the passenger train was
puling its way towards Portland behind
a flagman. There seems to be no infor
mation as to what the trouble is. - -
Most of the cases agaiast the railroad
. company were up on motion of some
kind this morning and were put off un
til Monday to give defendants time to
. answer, the motions except in one case
being overruled.
By examining the calandar we find
that yesterday was St. Benedict of
Anian's day. As it was the brightest
and best day The Dalles has ever had, we
suggest that St. Benedict is entitled to
the position of Patron Saint of our city
The wise managers of the Cascade
locks built a steamboat below the rapids
and a ten thousand dollar wharf above
them. The boat cannot reach the wharf,
and the wharf of course cannot navigate
the canal. Great heads.
The celebration at the Vogt Grand to
night promises to be the grandest affair
' of the kind ever held in The Dalles. The
weather is bad for such a gathering but
if we mistake -not the temper of our
people it will take more than an average
rain shower to dampen their ardor.
No doubt the passengers on the west
bound train this morning are enjoying
themselves while a flagman has a piece
- of the bell-cord on the engine leading it
along. Most of the engines were broke
to lead last winter and it is hoped no
trouble will happen in managing this
one.
License to wed was yesterday issued
to R. Prather and Mrs. M. J. Huskey
both ot xiooa Kiver. a lew days ago
Mrs. Haskey's son was married to Mr,
Prather's daughter. This is entirely
family affair, and by a happy stroke of
policy peVvents a multiplicity of mother-
in-law.
There has been a steady light rainfall
ever since yesterday about half past four
o'clock, and as we. go to press, it con
tinues. As far as we learn the storm is
general, all over the Inland Empire, and
in the higher altitudes, there is a heavy
snowfall, j.. The precipitations ' since it
began here, is 50 hundredths of an inch
v The rain which commenced yesterday
. evening fell steadily all night the rain
gauge showing that one' fourth of an inc
ad fallen. It still continues its soft but
steady drizzle, and every 'drop , is being
absojJxMl by the glad earth. It will be
worth thousands of dollars to this county,
and it is to be hoped . that it may con
tinue its good work for a full week.
For a cut, bruise, burn or scald, there
is nothing equal to Chamberlin's Paint
Balm. It heals the parts more, quickly
than any other application, and unless
the injury is very severe, no scar is left.

EEYIEW OP THE LOCAL MABBET.
There is not many changes to note in
our review of the market for the past
week. The great anxiety felt about the
successful passage of the portage railroad
bill for the Cascades, has absorbed
everything else at. the expense of all
kinds of traffic and as a result there has
not been much done in business lines.
Freight rates have been discussed
thoroughly ; also the condition in which
the producing classes are interested.
The high rates charged by the railroad
company on grtrln from the interior of
Eastern Oregon to the sea board and the
increased rates on ocean tonnage of
vessels to foreign markets has put a
different phase on the situation and now
as a result the greater part of the wheat
is going east by rail, instead of west to
the metropolis, thereby realizing more
for the grain laid down in Chicago, net,
than at Portland. The present freight
rate on wheat is 10J cents per bushel,
and were the rates reduced to 1 cents
per bushel, our f armers . would realize
59 to 60 cents instead of 56 or 57 cents.
An open river from this point to the sea
would remedy the evil as far as inland
transportation is concerned.
In the present' condition of the local
wheat market here, there are no changes
of importance. The European markets
are up and down just as often as cargoes
are repored off the coast, and the quota
tions are correspondingly the same.
Chicago and New York grain quota
tions are as fluctuating as formerly,
with no encouraging features to report.
Chicago's May delivery quotation is
97; New York, 1.04.
Portland's market remains unchanged
with a firmer tone. Its quotation is
unchanged. Valley is quoted $1.25
1.26J4; Eastern Oregon. $1.151.16.
Dalles market has no change to report
since last week .56 for No. 1 ; .54 for
No. 2.
Oats The oat market is very quiet
and offerings limited at quotations with
an upward tendency. We quote, extra
clean $1.50 per cental and inferior $1.35
1.40 per cental.
Barley There is nothing doing in
barley. There is none offering. Quote
prime brewing $1.051.10, feed $l.00
1.05 per cental, sacked.
Millstukfh The supply is quite suffi
cient for the demand. We quote bran
and shorts $20.00 per ton. Shorts and
middlings $22.50$24.00 per ton.
Hay The hay market is unchanged.
The continued warm weather has
checked the usual demand for the season.
Quote, timothy, $17.00 per ton, wheat
hay in compressed bales $12.00. " Oat
hay dull -sale at $11.0012.00. Al

assigned yesterday, was arrested last eve
nine on complaint of Benjamin Selling

Keatly Caught.
The device lately hit upon by a mem
ber of the Paris" police force for catching
a truer was certainly an ingenious one,
but now . that the , light fingered fra
ternity know of the trap they will prob
ably be on their guard in future. At one
of the large dress warehouses in the
Faubourg St. Germain there had been,
it appears, for several weeks past a
number of robberies committed, and
though the strictest watch was kept by
the inspectors it had been impossible to
discover the thief. In the majority of
cases the unknown shoplifter took away
with him elegant and costly mantles ex
posed for sale on dummies in the shop,
choosing his time for operating so well
that his identity remained a mystery.
The police were at length appealed to,
and in order to catch the rogue one or
two agents were, at the suggestion of a
member of the force, ordered to substi
tute themselves for the dummies or
rather, to hide themselves inside their
wirework frames. It was not long be
fore the plan succeeded. A day or two
since, just as a richly trimmed mantle
was being cleverly removed from the
shoulders of a dummy, the individual
engaged in the act felt himself grasped
tightly by a pair of strong arms, and
held a prisoner. . The shoplifter's fright
at finding the dummy to be, so to say,
inhabited, was so great that it deprived
him of speech and action, and he made
no attempt to escape from the constable's
grip or to explain away his conduct.
He is now lodged in prison, and on any
future thieving expedition of this kind
he will probably be suspicious of dum
mies. London Standard.
Football on the Bowery.
In a shop window on the Bowery is a
most realistic and exciting representa
tion of the Yale-Princeton football
match. The back of the window is cov
ered with a strip of canvas painted to
represent a grand stand filled with peo
ple, and the floor of the window is spread
with green stuff to represent grass. The
players are dolls dressed in the appropri
ate costumes and colors of the players,
ana a lot or tnem are massed on top of a
small football in the center of the field.
The names of the players and their po
sitions are posted at the side, with the
announcement that these two teams have
been engaged to play an exhibition game
for the delectation of the employes of
tne turn making tne display.
It would be interesting to hear Capt.
Poe and Halfback McClung's remarks if

A. Monster Tuning Fork.
While walking along the new elevated
tracks of the Pennsylvania railroad, as a
train passed over it at a fair rate of
aed, the steel work gave forth a dis
tinct musical sound, as though a great
violoncello were stretched from Hender
son to Monmouth streets. There was no
tremble or jar, or click at the rail joints.
Indeed, the sound did not come from the
rails, but from the steel girders and pil
lars, and continued until the locomotive
had struck the solid- ground six blocks
above. . The sound is an octave above
the deep bass of Niagara falls.
With a long vestibule train the effect
will be startling. I venture to predict
that the dwellers along the line will not
complain of the noise of the passing
trains, for, though somewhat loud, it is
yet harmoniously musical. Hence it
will not disturb anybody. Philadelphia

Bard Punishment.
Curt Abel, retired corporal in the
Wurtemberg contingent of the German
army, nas been condemned to fourteen
days' arrest by a court martial in Frei
burg. Abel's offense was that he ex
posed the abuses practiced by German
officers on German privates, and enu
merated in several sensational pam
phlets cases in which soldiers had been
beaten, burned with cigars, and cut
with knives ' by lieutenants in command
of them. The ostensible reason of his
punishment, however, was that he had
observed these abuses without reporting
them. Abel s trial and sentence have
aroused much indignation in all the
German Liberal dailies which consider
his treatment a matter of simon pure
intimidation. Berlin Letter.
