A little impromptu gathering was
had at the hall' over : Mr. Nichelsen's
store last evening which proved very
enjoyable to those who were present.
Mr.' Charles F1. Riggs, the manager of
the Abbie Carrington grand opera com
pany, had some friends in the - city and
in order to give them a treat decided to
give them an informal ,-jnusicale , and
with the able assistance of Mrs.
Dexter succeeded ' in- doing : so. i ,Mr.
Riggs is a cornetist that ranks with
Liberatta and other ' renowned "players
and in the east among professionals lie
is said to excel the famous Italian leader
in the quality and excellence of his play
ing. At ay rate Mr.- Riggs gave those
assembled a rare treat in the music he
played. The first piece on 'the pro
gramme . was the old Irish air of
"Savourneen Dheelish," which 'was so
well executed that an encore was de
manded . which was cheerfully given.
Mrs. Dexter gave a remarkable well .ex
ecuted piano solo ' next and - then
"Robin Adair" was played, by- Mr.
Riggs and his fair accompanist. Mrs.
Mabel Riggs conferred another treat by
'the recitation of "Lasca" and as an en
core gave Bert Hart's New York "Letter
from the Belle of the Season." Mrs. Riggs
is a fine'elecutionist and gave both reci
tations with much force and dramatic
energy. She has a sweet, well cultivated
and modulated voice and her efforts to
please were well received. Mrs. B. S.
Huntington followed in a charming
rendition of "Sweet Alice, Ben Bolt,"
sung in her pleasantest manner and best
voice. Many compliments were bestowed
on Mrs. Huntington and both Mr. and
Mrs. Riggs said that they bad not
listened to so charming a voice for a long
time. Her singing was in exquisite taste
and was highly appreciated. The Dalles
is fortunate in having lady of her rare
abilities as one of its residents. "Annie
Laurie" was the closing cornet solo by
Mr. Riggs, and - he and . his charming
wife will be long remembered for -the
pleasant manner in which they, entered
some - of our appreciative citizens
last evening. . Mrs. Dexter' s .playing
was very fine, .taking.; as she did Mr,.
Rigg's difficult music and playing it at
.sight, a thing that no one but the best
of musicians are competent to do.

We have received another commuica
tion from Mr. R. H. Thompson f Port
land on "the single-tax question. Mr.
Thompson seems to think that "all you
have to do to build up the vacant . Iota of
the city ia to pile up the taxes on them,
because ' the owners in that case could
not afford to allow 'them to remain
vacant. The Chhoniclb will rise its
powerful influence to have , Mr. Thomp
son appointed city assessor of The Dalles
if he will promise to so assess the vacant
lots of the garrison property or West
Dalles that the owners shall be com
pelled to improve them. Rev., O, D.
Taylor is just now absent in the east,
but we believe he would pay a good '! stiff
premium ' to have the! experiment tried
on North Dalles, but if not. Mr. Thomp
aon could try the experiment on Mr..
Taylor, himself J and' we,4 over this way,
will look on with wonder and admiration.

OBi'iirAl:,
Kindly Word of the Late Mr. William
.'-.-.- : O'Dell ,.'....
" A friend and neighbor of the late Mr.
William O'Dell, of Hood River, who had
known him long and intimately, bears
the following testimony to his character
and worth : i
One rare grace he had which was to
bis character what its perfume ia to the
rose ; this was his affection for his fami
ly. From the time 28 years ago, when
he took the hand of his girl-bride, in his
until the hour when he called her to him
and said, "I am as dead from my waist
down as I shall ever be," if the wind
blew roughly on Mrs. O'Dell, it was be
cause he could not belp it. As few men
ever do he cherished his wife and when
he could no longer work for her he spar
ed her all he could. Mrs. O'Dell's loss
would be unbearable but for this ; by pre
cept and example he'trained five manly,
christian sons to give to mother and sis
ters just the care he gave.
In his outward relations to be apprised
of need, whether a personal friend or
not, was with him to supply that need
if possible. His home was open to all
humanity to share such as he had. .
How many dying beds he has soothed.
So when he was brought home helpless
and lay three weeks between life and
death, there was no lack of men to .work
all day anl watch as tenderly as women
by his bed all night. His grateful words
for his "faithful watchers" was ample
recompense.
. Mr. Odell's Christian light ws
kindled at a Methodist camp fire in
California more than 30 years ago and
though dim at times never went out.
For seven years since bis baptism he has
lived a devoted life, testifying for Christ
at every opportunity. About one and
a half years ago he was elected elder in
East Hood River church because he
thoroughly fulfilled the requirements of
1st Timothy 3 :1 to 7. '
As he lay at Dufur able to move one
band, to those who came to see him,
rough men and Christians, he testified
of the grace of God as no minister could
have done. That was his Beulah land
and .the Delectable ..Mountains from
whence this VHappiestMan," saw Heav
en and tpade" others see it too.' There
love contrived a way to bring him home.
There for three days Death's River threw
him up above its billows and dashed him
down again until his heart and his flesh
failed him but still his anchor "held
within the vail " for it grappled the
"Rock of Ages.".' : j . .', ,
So his eldest son or some christian
friend would, repeat a verse of the Word
or breathe a prayer and then he would
lie at ease.
So for a week and then he got clear
vision of the glory and, as it says in the
Pilgrim '8 Progress, " After that the en
emy was as still as a stone until he was
gone over," In that last week he tried
to sing : " In the cross I 'glory." jAnd
when they asked him "why," he said
" I have seen the most beautiful garden
ever I saw and I never was so happy in
my life," so as he had , foretold them " I
shall just go to sleep," and peacefully he
went that ere one watcher could scarce
say to another " he is going." ! Lo! he
was gone.
Gone ! Out of the body that had the
cancer, out'of the body that was paraly
zed, starved and tired to death, his last
wish granted, " Gone home" to be with
the Lord. " Evil things " all past and
he is V comforted," and now is come
true. Rev. 2 :7. 8. S.

A collegian says : "What is left of the
Parnellite organization in Ireland . is to
receive a fatal blow within the next few
days. It is authoritively stated that the
two Harrington brothers, Timothy and
Edward, have decided ' to give in" their
adhesion to the nationalist party. Tim
othy, report says, will make the first
move. The two brothers have .been by
all odds the most formidable of Parnell's
friends because they control the machin
ery of the old ' National , league. Unless
the Parnellite envoys in America hurry
home tbey will find themselves without
enough colleagues ,to comfortablv fill the
outside of a car on their return.''

Baby is sick. The woeful expression
of a Des Moinea teamster's countenance
showed his deep anxiefjr'was not entire
lv 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," wa8 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

was no danger in giving it even to a
baby. For sale by Snipes & Kinersly.
