The wreck of a freight train of twenty
cars occurred Monday morning last at
Shoshone, Idaho. The cause, as near as
we could learn, was a defective bridge.
The trainmen on No. 7 last night reported
that the engineer and fireman had been
killed.
The measles are having quite a run at
Dufur, there being a large number of
adults as well as children afflicted with
that disease. It is so bad in the public
schools that it is seriously thought of
closing down for the term and it is prob
able that will be done.

berries at 25 cents a box, while California
berries were selling at 15 cents. Yester
. day the quotations of Hood River straw
berries only were given and they had
raised to 35 cents. It is almost safe to
eay that the California berries are still
15 cents. Hurrah for Hood River.
Crook county has lately been produc
ing a bountiful crop of criminals and
lunatics. Sheriff Booth left here for
Salem last Sunday night with two crazy
men. Since that time a deputy passed
through with one man sentenced to the
state penitentiary for three years for
grand larceny and another sentenced to
one year for attempting the life of his
father-in-law.
. Isaac Joles wenf off "fishing" last
Saturday and returned Sunday night,
bringing with him a specimen of gold
bearing quartz. All who have seen it
pronounce it to be the richest thay have
seen for many a day. Where he found
; i ; . w -i i i
lb in ins own secret, air. joies leit again
on Monday morning and has not since
been heard from, but some people are of
the opinion that he has struck it rich,
and the Chronicle hones he has.
F. A. Snfert met with a painful ac
cident yesterday at the fishery which
will lay him up for a week or two at
least. On jumping from a small eleva
tion to a board "floor his left foot landed
... on the poing of an eigbtpenny nail that
projected so far that it ran right through
his foot from sole to upper. It is need-.-
less to say that the accident gave him a
restless night but the pain has consider-
ably subsided this morning and no dan
ger is apprehended.
Mr. J. F. Venner has on exhibition at
the store of Fish & Bardon one of the
simplest devices in the way of a churn
we have seen for a long time. The
power is obtained by a small balance
. wheel and crank which gives the dash a
rotary movement, thus doing away with
all splashing of the cream. The power
can be used on any old fashioned churn
or crock. Mr. Venner is simply selling
the right for Wasco county.
Now is the time when the youngsters
enjoy a game of marbles out in the warm
evening air on our clean streets, under
the shining of the electric lamp. Such a
game was witnessed last evening by a
' Chronicle reporter, in front of the Joles
Brothers' store, and it was enjoyed im
mensely by a crowd of onlookers. Tom
, Joles, who weighs 300 and ever so many
J pounds, was certainly the smallest boy of
the lot and it was no small part of the
entertainment to see the little fellows
scoop him out of every marble that he
had.
THANKS TO ALL.
Reo I A tion s Fused Ty tbe ' farmers'
v i "A Institute at Wasco.
Ki.- Wasco, Oregon, May 15, 1891.-
EDrroB Cijroniclk: - At the Farmers'

14th inst., the following resolutions were
adopted.-- '

stitute be tendered.

, Bring out That Pick.
The railroad commission, it is said,
spent two days examining the road be
tween this city and Portland. We hear
they carried a pick along, wherewith to
examine the timbers of the bridges and
tressels on the route. That was right.
We hope the pick did not catch cold by
being too freely exposed outside the
Pullman sleeper to the raw air of our
climate. If what we hear is only half
true the commission ought to have had
with them, beside the. pick, a few dozen
monkey wrenches, an army of track lay
ers, several hundred thousand new ties
and a regiment of bridge builders. A
gentleman well known in this city says
he has within the past three days walked
the track between The Dalles and
Chenoweth creek and he offers to bet a
thousand dollars that on this little bit of
road he can pick with bis fingers enough
spikes out of the rotten ties to fill two
100-pound nail kens. He found, in sev
eral places the nuts off the fish bars,
either half way off or peacefully lying
beside the bolts. Some of these he
screwed back into their place, the best
he could with his fingers. It is said
that parts of the bridge across Mill creek
are rotten and liable to crumble to dust
at any time. Tbe gentleman referred to
says that after' what he has seen with
his own eyes he would scarcely take his
chances of a ride between this city and
Portland for a million dollars, and yet
we have no doubt the commission will
continue to draw their salary and re
port that the Union Pacific is in "excel
lent condition and its trains run on
time to a dot."
A Dalles Boy In the Kast.
An exchange from the east brings the
following letter from a young man who
emigrated from that section a year or so
ago and has cast his lot with the good
people of The Dalles. We hope the
young man, whoever he is, will remain
a Good Templar while he remains in the
city and will not fall into other bad hab
its, for he seems a bright, wide awake
boy. Below is the letter : t
A letter received from Commodore
Shorty, dated The Dalles, Oregon, says :
"This will be a busy week for me, for
we will have the right, real simple-pure
Uncle Tom's Cabin company Monday
evening. It shows in a tent. What a
chance for a small boy ! Then on Thurs
day I have to meet the president. He
will stop fifteen long minutes for me to
look him over. Then I have an interest
in a sail boat, which requires some at
tention ; and then just think of it ! on
Saturday night I have to attend the
Good Templars' lodge, of which I am a
-shining light, and help by my influence
to save the tallen. un, i am a Joe at
that, you bet!"
Lillian Smith, the girl shootist, who
has been giving exhibitions through
Oregon during the last year or so made a
big hit in Tacoma during President Har
rison's visit. The big banner on the
grain arch erected in honor of the presi
dential visit threatened to demolish the
strucsure. An effort was made to lower
it, but the halyards were tied to the top
of the arch and could not be reached,
the structure being regarded as not
strong enough to bear a man's weight.
In the emergency Lilian volunteered her
services. Producing a small rifle, she
shot ' away the halyards, though they
were swaying at a lively rate in the
strong breeze. The feat was watched bf
a large number of people and heartily
applauded.

Sabbath Defenders Sustained.
Tacoma, May 18. The appeal case of
D. M. Cook from the judgment of Jus
tice Sharp, in which Cook was taxeed
with the costs of prosecution in the case
of the state vs. Bowers, came up in the
superior court todsy. Cook was acting
for the anti-Sunday Saloon association
and swore out warrants against a saloon
keeper for keeping open on Sunday.
The case was dismissed by Justice Sharp
and Cook taxed with the costs, on the
ground that the charge was frivolous.
The association appealed to the superior
court, and today Judge Allyn reversed
Justice Sharp's decision and taxed the
costs on the county.
Judge Allen in the course of his decis
ion goes out of the case at issue and
gives his opinion of the Sunday law in
general, pointing out that the city or
dinances must conform to the state law
and that the city officers have full power
to enforce the law. He protests, how
ever, against prosecutions of this class,
as they are a burden to the state and
county, and the courts have too much to
do to have their time taken with these
cases, which could easily be settled, as
it is simply a case of police regulation.
It is understood that the question of
Sunday closing will now be pushed again
vigorously by tbe association, as it has
retained Parsons & Corell to conduct
the suits. -
About Heading;.
There is food for thought in the fol
lowing remarks found in the Themis of
Sacramento:
Men are but grown-up children.
Plato's reasoning with regard to instruct
ing children applies with full force to
adults. That which a man is forced to
read never makes any lasting impression
on his mind. Superficial and hasty
reading is positively injurious to the
memory. Plato said long ago : "Les
sons that instills forcibly into the mind
do not remain there. Make use of no
violence towards, the children in the
lessons ye give them ; manage in some
way or other that they educate them
selves while at play, in this wise ye will
be better prepared to become acquainted
with the disposition of each one. It is
necessary to lead children to war on
horseback, let them approach the thick
of the fray. Ye will put aside patience
in toil, more courage in danger and more
ardor for the sciences." It is not the
amount one reads that makes him
learned, but what he digests and stores
up in his memory. This loose and
promiscuous reading is detrimental to
the mind.
A Oreat Mine Shut Down.
The greatest silver and copper mining
camp on earth, Butte, Mont., has not
been dull for years. Wednesday the last
of the employees of the great Anaconda
Company were discharged, even to
watchmen, and the company mines at
Butte and the mammoth smelter at Ana
conda are shut up. More than 3000 men
are thrown out of work. The fact that
the workmen were kept on the pay-roll
several weeks after the order to shut
down was given, but at last let go, indi
cates that the company hoped to resume
soon. That hope has undoubtedly vanish
ed. It was announced that the trouble
was a dispute with the Montana Union
railway over freight rates, and Marcus
Daly vouched the information that work
on a new line of railroad would begin at
once, which may or may not mean that
the works will not resume until the
road is finished. Anaconda is a dead
town and Butte is crowded with idle
men, all because of the shut-down.
The latest fad of engaged couples is
for her to take a long hair of bis mous
tache between her teeth as he kisses her
and jerk it out as they draw apart. A
young woman in Harlem has over three
hundred of these hairs, and all of a diff
erent color. -
As fine a lot of strawberries as we have
ever seen is now on sale at the store of
Barnett fr Rice. They were grown on
the ranch of Mr. Cashing.
Lost, on the streets of The Dalles, a

please return it to this office. -

"'Baby is sick. The woeful expression
of a Des Moines teamster's countenance
showed his deep anxiety was not entire
ly without cause, when he inquired of a
druggist of the same city what was best
to give a baby for a cold"? It was not ne
cessary for him to say more, his counte
nance showed that the pet of the family,
if not the idol of his life was in distress.
"We give our baby Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy," was the - druggist's answer.
"I don't like to give the baby such strong
medicine," said the teamster. You know
John Oleson, of the Watters-Talbot Print
ing Co., don't you? inquired the drug
gist. "His baby, when eighteen months
old, got hold of a bottle of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy and drank the whole of
it. Of course it made the baby vomit
very freely but did not injure it in the
least, and what is more, it cured the ba
by's cold. The teamster already knew
the value of the Remedy, having used it
himself, and was now satisfied that there
was no danger in giving it even to a
baby. For sale by Snipes & Kinersly.
