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.'

The council was .' able to announce that : plans had been . fully arranged for the formation of a fire insurance company that, shall give the benefits of absolute insurance against loss by fire to members in good stand- 1 ing, at' the lowest " possible' cost to " the ' parties insureds We heartily wish these measures abundant success. Ingalla.' Wasco Academy, June 12, '91. Editok "CHB6KICI.BJJ- Permit me to 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 ning. Sincerely yours, - ; W. C. Ingalijj, Principal. 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. .

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.
