This is circus day. . , . ...
The circus train arrived in the city to
day about 11 o'clock, f
. A large number of people are in town
presumably to attend the circus..
Mr. R. G. Guthrie, a prominent stock
man from Sherman county, is in the
city.
Dr. Logan, on his late visit to Port
land visited Mr. Solomon and , was
pleased to find him improving though
somewhat slowly.
Watch your houses closely tonight.'
Thieves run in company with most cir-.
cuBes, and this one may prove no ex
ception to the rule.
Mr. Guy Wright and Fred Fisher who
used to work in the Company's shops at
this place came up this morning from
Portland.
, r The new model cyclone fish wheel of
Winans Brothers is doing good work.
,Np run of fish has occurred in the river
as yet, nevertheless the three w' eels of
these gentlemen caught in the twenty
four hours of yesterday about 4000
pounds. ,. t ,
The country between Dufur and Tygh
Ridge had another fine rain last night,
the heaviest precipitation being, as
usual, "on the ridge. .. Parties from that
neighborhood inform us that they, have
had all tha rain they need and that noth
ing can now prevent large crops except
hot scorching east winds.
In the rush of going to press yester
day the name of Mr. Frank Menefee was
omitted from amongst the signers of the
letter of acceptance, and we reprint the
letter with his name in its proper place
today. His name may have been left
ont accident all before election, but ne
, wiMinot ne lett on tnat aav ior ne is a
deserving gentleman and will be elected
by a handsome majority. . ;. y f
. .The excursion and picnic of the pupils
of the public schools', which took place
yesterday, was a grand success. . The
Baker arrived at Hood River about 9
o'clock a. m. and the little and bis folks
as well , heartily enjoyed themselves in
the woods around Hood 'River till the
boat left at 5 o'clock. The Baker arrived
borne about seven without an accident
to mar the pleasure o the trip.
i The success' of the Australian ballot
system in this country is hastening the
period of time when' the electoral col
lege will be abolished, and presidents as
well as United State senators, will be
chosen by'a popular vote of . the people.
In this sense the proposition becomes a
startling proof of the belief that the
government is largely : undermined by
corruption. .The senate has long been
called a millionaire's club, and the de
, ma'nd for elections by the people has as
sumed very significant proportions the
past few years.
Hon. H. H.' Dufur brought with him
from the Colvilie reservation a present
from Moses, chief of the Columbia In
dians, of which he is. very proud. It is
a tomahawk that was once the property
of Sarsarpin, chief of the Okonagans,
. who died at an advanced age about , two
years ago and who owned the weapon as
long as Moses remembers. Sarsarpin
made a gift of it many f years ago, ' to.
- Moses and Moses in turn presented it to
.Mr. Dnfur. Th w&nnn in nmiorVuKlv
'.well made. Its hollow handle serves' as
' a' pipe-stem and' the head is the shape
and form of a tobacco pipe. It is stud
ded with star marks, and has a round
copper plate set in tjhe center of the
'.blade. 'What tales the old weapon could
tell if it could only e peak.' '

express ;;tfirotigJi yodV columns my ap-preciation-HEis
well a? thai of the officers
and pupils of the academy of the kind
ness of the many friends whose efforts
contributed so largely to the enjoyment
of our commencement last evening.
Our thanks are due to the Congrega
tional church and society for the use of
their pleasant house of Worship', and to
the .friends who furnished flowers and
other material for decoration. ' v v '-"y
.Miss Elizabeth M.-Folsom, who had
charge of the decorations, and the pupils
who assisted her,"' are ' especially to be
congratulated on the skill and taste dis
played. ' !The music furnlshedy was a
rich treat, and the performers one and
all, are the recipients of ' our ' sincere
thanks for their share of the exercises.
We are also, under obligations to Mr.
I. C. Nickelsen foi the piano used, and
to Mr. J. M. Huntington for efficient
services as chief usher. "
I cannot close without alluding to one
other matter' which gave me more gen
uine pleasure than anything else. . It
has ' been my 'fortune to be present at a
great many commencements,' but I have
yet to see, on such an occasion, a more
attentive and appreciative audience
than that which assembled last eve

Thatcher's MlnatrelH.
' Manager Kinersly begs to announce to
the amusement-loving public of The
Dalles that he has concluded arrang
ments with Ceorge Thatcher's famous
minstrels to appear at the Vogt Grand
next Monday, evening, June 15th. , The
company is certainly the strongest and
best in the country today f and should be
liberally patronized. The Portland Ore
gonian says of the company's appearance
at the Marquam Grand :
A crowded ' house greeted ' George
Thatcher's, miustrels at the. Marquan
Grand last evening. ' Their performance
throughout was excellent, in fact it was
probably the best minstrel entertain
ment ever given in Portland. The au
dience was in splendid humor over the
consolidation victory and greatly enjoyed
toe 'varied prolamine.?
Thatcher, who is one of the best-known
minstrel comedians, was, as usual, a
whole show in himself. The famous
LewDocketadter captured the audience
with his specialties and his local hits.
His song, r"Try,,Try Again," In which
he took occasion to localize with points
pn consolidation and .city affairs, "took
immensely'' ,'and; he was' encored' time
and time again. He appeared made up
as President Harrison and -for nearly
an hour the audience would hot 'permit
him to leave the stage. Bert Shepard
makes a good partner for Thatcher on
the end and was enjoyed almost as much.
After Dockstadter'6 great .hit the most
enjoyable selection was R. J . Jose's ren
dition of "The; Lone Grave." . It is sel
dom that one is given an opportunity
to hear a voice of such. marvelous 'sweet
ness as that possessed by Mr. Jose. H.
,V. Frillinan is well known here and, he
sang "The Lost Chord" as onlv he can
sing it. The . vocalization of Kaymon
Moore, Thomas' Lewis, J. A. Coleman,
and the other members of the company
was " heartily .'enioved.r The oik was
made up of bright and clever specialties,
none of them tiresome, but all just long
enough tor"T.,ause ;the- audience to wish
lor more. 'Drank La .Blond hu, in his
original act: "tun on a clothes-line.
Cain and Loreno, in their burlesque
trapeze performance, Shepard's comical
cornet solo, and Thatcher's monologue
and song, kept the audience wavering
between open-uioilthed wonderment and
uproarious laughter. Ihe performance
terminated with - "t he.Jtete of the Gon
doliers."' introducing the entire companv
in a beautiful Terpsichorean feature that
apuy illustrated me poetry oi motion.
The audience, which was the largest of
the season, "several hundred being turned
away, departed more than satisfied with
the show. . ,
. : , . Commencement Exercise.
The tenth annual commencement of
the Wasco . Independent ' Academy was
held at the Congregational church last
evening."" The church was a'T6wer of
beauty and the decorations were euperh
The building was crowded by friends
and well-wishers of the school, and noth
ing occurred to mar the pleasure of the
evening. The motto "Gradatim"
step by step was hung conspicuous! v
over the choir's alcove and was In hand
some letters.' - The graduates were Misses
Nona lona Ruch, I va C: Brooks, and
Margaret-Ann Keys, each of whom read
the regulation essay. They were beau
tiful young ladies and each was 'dressed
with ''becoming '.taste.- Each graduate
received from twenty to thirty-floral
tributes du ring the evening. . We regret
that .we have npt space to spare to com
ment on the programme' which was well
arranged : and, carried out. . It ""was
pleasing and successful commencement

District attorney Wilsoh'calls our aten-
to one little inaccuracy in our article of
yesterday .on the arrest and trial of Sam
Gates. ; .' Mr.'. Wilson did not "recom
mend" the discharge of the prisoner.
He says he made the best case he could
and submitted it to the-, court without
argument.'- But he also says he had no
cane and that justice Schutz could do
nothing but discharge the prisoner. The
testimony of the night watchman 'alone,
who was the main witness for the pros
ecution, ?was sufficient to show- that the
boy had no dishonorable intention what
ever. We are informed that his shoes
were found stuck in the hole of the
water closet and not as if he merely had
taken (hem off to facilitate a quiet es
cape; He did not make the least effort
to escape but was found quietly asleep
with his coat under his ' head and his
shoes fifteen or twenty- feet apart in the
position already described. The friends
of the boy may rest assured "that not
the slightest stain of dishonor , attaches
to him" or them on' his account, :bevond
the fact that he was so drunk that he
did not know what he was doing.
