'Owing to the train A .. V.lnf? at. ?'ow speed no damage was done. The Dalles has not been favored with I a theatrical company for some consider l . able time.

An qwtef aa made to putt he Baker on the route between this city- and the Cascades on the 17th but was cancelled the next day. . To save expenses would it not be ecomony to abandon the trains on account of a few inches of snow on the track? . .:.'. , ; The snow storm that visited this sec tion last Saturday night was general over Eastern Oregon and Washington. The depth of fall here was twelve inches and gave a precipitation of ninety-five one-hundredths of an inch of melted snow, . . The passenger train that left here' for the west about 10. o'clock this ' morning was ditched not far from Wyeth, in juring several passengers. There is a rumor that three or four were killed.

Sneak thieves are at work around the churches. A silk umbrella was stolen from the Congregatianal church last eve ning during service. A man who would lo as mean a thing as that would steal the pennies from off his dead mothers eyes, and kick the corpse be cause they were ' not quarters. The wretch should have the umbrella shoved down his throat and opened.' There is no hopes of recovering the stolen article for the place the thief is to go is so hot that the umbrella will burn up. Mr. A. W. Branner, the proprietor of the stage line, running out to Prinevill.e aame in over the road last evening. Mr. Vyfanner says the storm of the past few Ways has favored the interior with a good depth f snow ; in some places it is two and a half feet deep, and has fallen , on unfrozen ground, with the exception of the higher points. He thinks theout look for an abundant growth of grass and a large .harvest of cereals was never better and with reasonable facilities for trans portation and cheaper freights, the .an try is all right. of Rellgtoaa xerelaee ' Yesterday.. ' CONGBBQATIONAL CRUBCH. Depite the fact that the pastor was suffering from a severe sore ' throat he preached two eloquent sermons yester day to fair sized audiences. Mr. Curtis took for his morning discourse the words found in James I, verse 27, "Pure Relig ion and Undented." The speaker said if we asked a man his idea of first rale farming the answer would be as various as were the ideas of the men asked. Over 300 years ago rules for different kinds of farming were published and since that time books and magazines and papers devoted to farming have sprung into existence. The man that does not believe in book farming rubs up against the man that does and obtains and makes use of bis ideas, and so the world progresses. . If we asked what was pure religion we would be answered in as many different ways. There are many, great precipns facts of religion that have been freighted with peace and joy. As with the farmer it ia the fruits that tell the truth of right, methods. "By their fruits ye shall know -them. -The prophet' tolls us that " the head of our. relision is -. a "Father." - The world has been slow to accept that conception, but when it does take that' human word it seems to come into a closer relation to the deity. One drop of God's mercy comes down and sweetens the life of the worst of us. Human weakness and dispalr is often God's opportunity to bring men to him. In the evening Mr. Curtis preached on the life and lessons of Washington, and made his address a patriotic one. It was an excellent sermon but we have not the space for a synopsis. ... AT THI BAITIST CHT8CH. The Rev. Mr. Cowden, Missionary off the Christian churches of Oregon and w ashmgton held service at the Baptist church of this city yesterdav. The talented preacher ' took both morning and evening themes from 1st . and 2nd l . c . . uuuprers oi isi neorews. The evening service was a continuation of the morn ing discourse, and both were very inter esting. Mr Cowden is a ' forcible speaker and those who listened to him were much ' taken with the charms of his manners and his eloquence. It was his intention to have remained for a few days and held services at this place, but as he did not desire to interfere with the meetings now under way at the M. E church, he postponed his work here until some future time.' . -'. : . . . ; .1 , ,.AT THE M. aV CIICUCH. '.,', ., f ' Rev. Mr. Craven, of Clark M.

Mr. John Filloon, of this city has shown the Chhoniclk some very hand some specimens of slate and coal which were brought in by Mr. A. C. Sanford from Rowe creek about twelve miles from the Fossil section. The slate is exceedingly handsome and has the marks of leaves and ferns stamped all over it. In the lot is some quartz that bears strong indications of lead and silver, which should be developed. The coal is of an excellent quality and has undoubted value. We hope that Mr. Sanford will follow up the discoveries that he has made. City Treasurer's Notice. t AU0CUy,,Warrant8 registered prior to July o, 1889 are now due and payable.
