all Thursday night.
Last evening the Alumni of the W. I.
A. gave a very pleasant reception to the
. graduates, at the residence of Mr. V.
G. Woodworth. . At 9 o'clock, the' mem
bers of the classes who had graduated in
the years past, gathered, with the teach
ers around daintily laid luncheon tables,
and the new class of three young ladies
was introduced by Mr. H. Riddell in a
few well chosen words, and was received
by the vice-president, Miss Jessie Welch,
in a manner befitting the occasion.
The company lingered around the tables
-. till 12 o'clock when they seperated for
-.- their several homes, having bad a most
enjoyable time.
Mr. Truman Butler, writing to . his
father from Lecompton, Kansas, thus
describes a Kansas thunder shower:
: . "Of all the fireworks and discharging of
heavy artillery which I ever heard, this
.was certainly the grandest. Thunder!
yea it thundered till one could well ima
gine himself in the battle of Waterloo.
The lightning was a grander sight than'
the people of The Dalles witnessed when
Chinatown was burned or Ben Snipes
. had bis fireworks. But all this was too
' . fine to last long. Then as if the Atlantic
and Pacific oceans had joiaed hands
over us and with their united strength
had resolved to baptise us, the rain
descended.
Miss Ada Wood, who boards at the
house of Mr. Geo. Smith on the' bluff
! . had her trunk robbed last night under
the following circumstances : Miss
Wood had packed her trunk yesterday,
preparatory to a trip to the country.
For the convenience of the expressman
the trunk was set outside on the porch.
-During the night Mr. Smith heard a
noise outside and on opening the door he
confronted a man stooped over the trunk
which, he had forced open. The thief
was using a candle to help him make his
selection from its contents. The moment
the door was opened the man took to his
heels. Mr. Smith only got a glimpse of
him but did not know him and could
. scarcely identify him.' Three gold rings
are missing only, which goes to show
that the gentleman bad a select taste in
the choice of his plunder.
The residence of Mrs. Juker in this
city was the scene last evening-of a very
pleasant ceremony,' being the marriage
of her youngest daughter, Gussie, to Mr.
. Chas. F. Hobart. . Rev. Father Brons-
geest, in the presence of the family and
,' a few near friends joined the happy pair
'in holy ma rhnony-and all sat down to a
bountiful spread of all the season's deli
' . cacies made beautiful with rare and
choice flowers. Hardly had all feasted
ere strains of music from the Third regi-
ment. band were . . heard. .: . Some ' very
. pretty. selections were rendered after
which the band boys . were seated and
, partook of refreshments. Many gifts of
plate and decorative art told the newly

MAT NOT HATE THI REGIMENT.
A Correspondent Intimate That It la
Doubtful- About Ow Having tne
Ksrsmpmrnt. -
Editor Chboniclk : I see the town
placarded with an announcement detail
ing the proposed exercises on the com
ing Fourth of July and would like to
know through-your columns if said an;
nounceraent - is not a little premature"
As I understand it there is no certainty'
as yet of the Third regiment going into
camp here, on account of no suitable
grounds .being available . within v the
means, at the disposal of Col. Houghton',
and unless the Fourth of July committee
get to "the f ront in short order or some
other enterprising citizens of The Dalles
make arrangements to secure the only
suitable piece of ground in this1 neigh
borhood, our Fourth of July celebration
will be a fizzle and some more enterpris
ing city will reap the benefit.
This camp is to be a camp of instruc
tion and not a holiday. It is absolutely
necessary that proper parade grounds,
both company and battalion, be provided
and if the efforts of Colonel Houghton to
hold the encampment here ' are-not ably
and .'promptly., seconded, some other
locality will have to be selected. As I
understand. the adjutant-general has is
sued instructions to that effect. ; A U. S.
army officer has been detailed to thor
oughly enquire into- and-, inspect the
soldierly qualities of theOj N. G., and
upon the behavior of the boys this year
future encampments will depend. ' The
Light : Battery of ' artillery have been
ordered into camp with the Third and
this, will mean sixty . more men and
horses with all ' the accoutrements for
two gatling guns and will be a potent
factor both in the street parade and the
sham fight. AH the supplies' for the
whole encampment will be purchased at
the place where the encampment is held.
The citizens of Eugene will appropriate
over $2000 to have the Second regiment
camp there, and they have given them
outright $1200 and also provide a parade
ground and "transportation to and from
it. The little town of Mil ton will spend
nearly as much for the First regiment
encampment.
Several towns in Eastern Oregon will
give a large bonus to have the encamp
ment of the Third in their vicinity, but
if the citizens of The Dalles -will secure
the only available parade ground (viz.
the Irving place) that is all they will be
asked to do beyond what has already
been promised for blank cartridges and
other necessary expenses for the Fourth.
It is to be noped that some one will take
hold of this matter and take hold of it
promptly. As the time is near at hand
for the encampment now and if prompt
action is not taken, good-bye to the
Fourth of July celebration at - The
Dalles. . Yours, . ..O. N. G.
Authority to Build m Portage Road, at
: : . '. Celllo. . "
Editor Chronicle : Permit me,
through the columns of your paper, to
call attention to sub-division 1 of sec. 1
of the Portage Railway act, which reads
as follows, to wit :
1. To build, construct, run,, equip,
operate and maintain a portage railway
between the highest and lowest points of
the navigable waters of the Columbia
river at the Cascades', in Oregon, and
also between the highest and lowest
points of the navigable waters of said
river between The Dalles and Celilo, in
Oregon, as in their judgment shall be
sufficient to meet the demands of trans
portation at those points ; provided, that
said board shall have the right to' deter
mine which railway shall be first built.
Section 8 of said act provides for the
appropriation of $60,000 for the uses and
purposes aforesaid. It will -be seen from
the foregoing that there was no necessity
for the Raley bill, and it only remains
for future legislation, upon recomenda
tion of the Board of Portage commission
ers, or otherwise, to make appropriations
for the completion of both roads.
Probono Publico.
. The Walla Walla grand jury, impan
eled to investigate the circumstances
connected with the lynching of Andrew
J. Hunt by the' soldiers of the Walla
Walla garrison, have found a true bill
against seven enlisted men of the Fourth
U. S. cavalry. In their report they ex
press themselves as satisfied that others
of the soldiers, against whom they found
it impossible to procure sufficient evi
dence, are equally - guilty with those in
dicted. They charge Col. Compton with
negligence in not taking sufficient pre
caution to keep his men under control,
pending the excitement in the city over
the shooting of soldier Miller. They
blame the sheriff for not making proper
resistance against the mob and express
their opinion that had he done so a gen
eraf alarm could have been sounded and
in all probability the mob dispersed with
out gaining their object. . They recom
mend that as the outrage was caused by
United States troops, .the county com
missioners should make", a list of all
expenses to which the county has been
and " will be - put - in consequence, ; and
have it submitted ' to congress for reim
bursements. Finally, as the relations
between the citizens and soldiers of the
garrison ' must'- -continue "very - much
strained,', they recommend that -proper
steps be taken- to -have the-- soldiers -exchanged,
, and express the .hope, that the
war "' department' . .may accede' toV'their
'wishes.- 'TheVrepoft bears evidence of
great diligence :on"the';pa'rt -'of the jiiry
and olfXAir disposition tclreat all the
parties concerned with perfect fairness
and justice.

A True Statement of tne Facta of tne
Cane.
The breaking into the store of Messrs.
Roscoe. & Gibons, night before last was
not alluded to in these.. columns solely,
out of consideration for the widowed
mother and sisters-of the boy who did
the deed." Right Or wrong this was our
only motive in concealing 'the facts from
the public and it needed no prompting
on the part of any one to induce us -to'
adobt U. Our contemporary having- al
luded to the matter last night, after hav
ing given his solemn word that he would
say. nothing of it and- having .entitled
the article as a "burglarly committed,"
and left the inference to be .drawn that
the young man , in question was a thief,
we have felt it our duty, in justice to the
family of the young man as well as to
himself to lay the; whole matter before
the public.' Sam Gates, a son of the late
Colonel Gates was found night before
last, by Night Watchman Howe in a room
back of Roscoe & Gibon's store at be
tween two and three o'clock in the morn
ing lying on the floor with his coat under
his head and his shoes, about twenty
feet from him. He had entered the
building by breaking a pane of glass in
the door and putting in his hand and
turning 'the .key. that was left, in the
8 tore. He was promptly arrested by the
watchman, and later in the morning was
brought before Justice , Sphutz under
the charge of burglary. The young
man having- pleaded "not guilty" two
witnesses were examined . for the
prosecution, , which was;, conducted,
as was the case, by Prosecuting Attorney
Wilson. Neither of. the witnesses had
any evidence whatever that gave any
proof of intent to steal. On the contrary
Mr. Roscoe testified" that there was no
sign of anything in the store having been
touched or tarn re red with, and the night
watchman swore that above an hour be
fore the arrest he saw the boy in a
drunken condition on one of the streets.
Mr. A. A. Bonney was called for the de
ense and swore that sometime about 2
o'clock in the night he heard a noise and
shouting outside as of somebody calling,
"Oh, Newt; Oh, '.Newt," or 'some name
with the sound of the letter u in it.
Presently he heard the noise of broken
glass but by the time he got out of bed
and had opened the front door all was
still. There was therefore not the slight
est evidence of intent to steal, beyond
the breaking into and presence in. the
building, and Mr. Wilson recommended
his discharge. Judge Schutz, in giving
bis decision said there was nothing to
hinder the boy from being prosecuted
for housebreaking or trespass if parties
were so inclined. The writer visited
Mr. Ad. Keller who informed him that if
he (Mr. Keller) had been brought into
court he would have sworn that at 2
o'clock of the morning in question Sam
Gates was so drunk that he refused to
give' him any more Hquor and told him
to go home. Mr. Roscoe, whose store
was entered, said to the writer also: :;'I
don't think the man Had any intention
of stealing.' If so he would have toade
the least possible noise at the door,- in
stead of calling so loudly and breaking
the glass so violently as to wake Mr.
Bonney sixty . or eighty' feet away."
Such is the story, simple and unvar
nished, as we have it, both from 'the
records of Judge Schutz's court and the
witnesses. No one can -believe for a
moment, in the teeth of the evidence,
that, the boy had any intent to steal.-
Everything shows that he was simply so
drunk that he did not know what he
was doing. If we thought otherwise-' we
should say so or say nothing. We hope
the event will be ajesson to the boy that
he, will remember during his future life.
