Press Dispatches.
LOCAL BREVITIES.
Mr. Henry Steers, of Antelope, is in
the eity.
Messrs Leon Rondean, Charles Payette
and Ezra Henson of Kingsley are in the
city.
A letter has been received from Mr.
Geo. Blakeley conveying the informa
tion that his father is a little better and
may possibly recover.
Miss Etta French of San Francisco,
came to the city yesterday and is the
guest of her uncle, D. M. French, Esq.
She will remain during the summer.
Mr. D. Farrington, from lower Fifteen
Mile Creek, came into the city this
morning. He says they had a fine show
er in his neighborhood. He also informs
the Chronicle that he ' learned from
Mr. Holder that they had enjoyed a
huge rainfall on the ridge" of the Des
chutes six miles above Mr. Farrington's
place. .
Fine rains have fallen throughout this
section in the last 48 hours, and the late
spring grain is vastly benefitted. . The
early sown, likewise the volunteer was
too far gone to be restored. The high
altitudes have not suffered for want of
moisture as rain has visited those local
ities while lower lands were passed over.
The timely rain has rendered the crops
certain.
There came very near being a runa
way this morning, but the gentleness
and good sense of the horse concerned
spoiled a newspaper item. The horse of
Mr. Vanbibber, while standing in front
of Mr. George Ruch's store, on Wash
ington street, got one shaft of the wagon
around a post which supported the
awning, and the post giving way, the
horse started to run with one end of it
between the shaft and his breast. He
was caught before he had got any dis
tance awav and was easilv Quieted.
The Dalles can feel pleased that Port
land succeeded In electing Mr. W. S.
Mason as mayor.' That gentleman is a
friend to an open ' river. A short time
ago he told one of our prominent busi
ness men that he was thoroughly in fav
or of opening the Columbia at the earli
est possible moment, and would do all
that lay in his power to bring it about!
As we can expect no help from the big
Portland paper it is a good thing to have
as prominent an official as Mr. Mason to
aid us in obtaining that long desired ob
ject an open river to the sea.
It is practically of little moment what
the organ of the defunct reminiscence
says about anything but we cannot allow
the statement, twice repeated in its issue
of vesterday evening to go uncontradict-
ed. It is charged that we have ' "at
tempted to besmirch every candidate
with mud, filth and lies." The state
ment is without a grain of truth In it.
On the contrary this journal has gone
out of its way to speak a good word for
the candidates on the 'defeated ticket
and not a line was ever written that
threw the shadow of a reflection on the
character of one of them.
Last night, a ltttle after nine o'clock
the third regiment band started on a trip
around the city frr the purpose of sere
nading the candidates elected last Mon-

ed in front of the Chronicle office and
made the welkin ring with happy joyous
music. From here the band proceeded
. to the residence of mayor-elect, the
Hon. Robt. Mays. After two pieces of
music had been played and Mr.- Mays
had brief! v thanked the serenaders, three
cheers were' called for our next mayor.
They were given with a will, and "one
cheer more." . The band then proceeded
to the residence of Mr. Frank Menefee,
the successful candidate for city recorder.
Here the same programme was enacted,
after which they proceeded to the house
of Mr. I. C. Nielson who, however, was
not at home, and thence to the dwelling
of treasurer-elect Kinersly. A piece of
music having been played. Mr. Kinersly
came to the gate and announced that he
was not built to make speeches but in
vited the boys to a refection of lemonade
and ice cream and cake. : Before separat
ing three cheers and "one more" were
given for our next treasurer, and given
with hearty good will. Meanwhile a
crowd of citizens had gathered in front
of the Monogram cigar store and sent up
into the night a number of fire balloons
accompanied by the bursting of bombs
and the firing of rockets and darts and
"double-headed Dutchmen," and the
glare of Roman candles and Bengal
lights. And thus the people's victory
was ceieoratea.
State lecturer of the grange Mr. Will
iam Holder of Grass Valley is in the
city. -
The feed-yards in the East End are
crowded with freight teams from the
interior.
"The Wasco ware-house received over
400 Backs of wool on Monday and 200
yesterday. - -
The divorce case of Tieman vs. Tieman
of Hood River, was yesterday argued
and submitted.
The case of - Egan, administrator of
estate of the late Leslie James is con
tinued daring the term.
Two common drunks and one tramp
were arrested last night and in default of
the means of paying the fine of $10 each
are today working the streets.
In the circuit court today Judge Fee
of Pendleton is presiding while some
cases are being tried in which Judge
Bradshaw was interested before his pro
motion to the bench.
Mr. J. B. Huntington, a brother , of
Messrs. B. S. . and J. M. Huntington,
register of the tJ. S. land office at Burns,
Oregon, is visiting his father and broth
ers in this city.
The election is over, and as if the
heavens sympathized with the earth a
refreshing shower of rain has fallen. It
is a coincidence worth mentioning that
the same thing happened after the port
age railway bill passed the legislature.
" The case of Casey vs. the'railroad com
pany is on trial. Mrs. Casey sues the
company for damages on account of her
husbands death near the Lower Cas
cades more than a year ago. At three
o'clock this afternoon a jury had not
been secured.
' Word has come to this city that a man
in the employ of the railroad company
as one of the steel gang was killed this
morning as he was riding on a hand car
on a bridge near Viento, the No. 1 pas
senger running into the car. This is
the third man killed on this line inside
the past month and all under one con
ductor who, however, is in no way to
blame. .
There is trouble among the brakeman
on the Union Pacific. Some time ago
Superintendent -O'Brien issued a bulle
tin to the effect that the brakemen
would not be allowed to ride on the loco
motive and must not come nearer the
engine than five cars.- The consequence
was the brakemen refused to work.
Yesterday, word came to Albina to sus
pend for the present the operation of
the bulletin.
While the band was serenading the
Chronicle office last night Mr. Stacy
Shown passed through'the crowd driving
a wheel-borrow decorated with Ameri
can flags and bunting. In the barrow
was Mr. Bert Phelps, whom Stacy was
wheeling around a city block to pay the
forfeit on a bet he made with Bert on
the result of the election, as regards the
candidates for the office of city recorder.
A Flank for the New Party.
There is one plank the alliance men
could put in their platform that if per
sistently carried out would do more to
abolish the . mortgage indebtedness of
the agricultural classes and place them
in a prosperous condition than all their
remedies for an extension of the cur
rency and for cheap loans from the
government, and that is getting out of
debt and keeping out. It is the most
singular thing in all this "reform" move
ment that the chief effort of the reform
ers concerns itself witrh schemes for in
creasing the mortgage indebtedness of
the agricultural classes instead of di
minishing it. A plank that would read
after this fashion, ought to draw under
the banner of the party nt would
adopt it every farmer in the United
States. "We believe it is a crime for a
farmer to go in debt." We commend
this plank to the new party and if they
adopt it we promise to help them make
converts. " " .

The Company Disbands.
It now appears that the Pendleton
militia company is defunct for good and
all. The company was disbanded this
morning by Colonel Houghton, who
came up from The Dalles for that pur
pose, having come to the conclusion that
me enort to have a company at this
place was a failure, since so little inter
est was taken bv the members. Uni
forms and eauiDments which arrived last
week have been shipped back to The

New Lexington, Ohio, will be of interest
to persons troubled with Rheumatism.

bottles in all, and there is nothing I have
ever used that gave me as much relief

Making Ught of a Harder -
The period of patting on spectacles ia
often long deferred by middle aged peo
ple, who "hate to seem old," or dislike
confessing to themselves that they have
reached one of the significant turning
points of life.. People have, however,
different ways of accepting the inevit
able. . One charming woman, who has
passed this visual limit, declares that
her comfort is thereby daily increased.
"I was always so lazy!" she says.
"Nevertheless, I had to do a thousand
things I hated. Now when I go out for
an afternoon I . can leave my glasses at
home, and so, when I am asked to look
at photographs, try a new crochet stitch,
or read 'dear Mary Ann's last letter,1 1
can refuse with a clear conscience. And
it is such a rest of mind and saving of
tissue. "
Another woman,- and a very pretty
one, owns to a bit of tacit deception in
wearing her cross. : "
"I try to put my glasses on with the
air of having always worn them," she
confesses. "I can't help hoping that
people will think me near sighted from
childhood."
But a dear old gentleman, who can't
see without glasses, actually goes to the
length of declaring that he doesn't need
them at all. He proves the case by
standing at a distance from print and
reading it without difficulty.
"There's ' nothing the matter with my
eyes, he then explains humorously.
The only trouble is, my arms aren't
long enough. Youth's Companion.'
An Owl Is the Fanner's Friend.
Of all birds, from the farmers' stand
point, owls are the most useful. They
bunt silently and in the night, and are
nothing short of lynx eyed cats with
wings. The benefit they confer upon
agriculturists is most incalculable, and
is susceptible of proof . It is well known
that owls hunt by night; but it may be
less a matter of common knowledge that,
like other birds of prey, they return by
the mouth hard indigestible parts of the
food in the form of elongated pellets.
These are found in considerable qnanti
tits about the birds' haunts, and an ex
amination of them reveals the fact that
owls prey upon a number of predaceous
creatures, the destruction of which is
directly beneficial to man.
. Of course the evidence gained in this
way. is infallible, and to show to what
extent owls assist in preserving the bal
ance of nature it may be mentioned that
700 pellets examined yielded the remains
of 6 bats, 13 rats, 237 mice, 693 voles,
1,590 shrews and 22 birds. These truly
remarkable results were obtained from
the common barn' owl, and the remains
of the 22 birds were those of 19 sparrows,
1 greenfinch and 2 swifts. The tawny
and long eared owls of our woodlands
are also mighty hunters, and an exam
ination of their pellets shows equally in
teresting evidence. Cornhill Magazine.
. Greek and Bonn Stoves.
Warm as Greece and Rome and Egypt
are, stoves were made there in the dim
and misty vistas of the past. It was not
just the pattern used in Chicago at pres
ent, but was a metal basin in which
charcoal was burned. It sat in the mid
dle of the room, and as the resulting
smoke was of the slightest no opening in
the roof or elsewhere was necessary.
The same implement, still called by its
old Greek name of brazier, is still em
ployed in many portions of continental
Europe, where it is utilized for heating
as well as cooking.
But the progressive Romans improved
on that and made a hypocanst. It was
the germ of the present furnace. ' It was
made under the house in a little cellar
prepared for it, and the heat was con
ducted to the rdbms and baths through
crevices left in the floor and lower por
tions of the wall. Later flues were pro
vided, conducting heat to any portion of
the house. In some of the old Roman
villas in England the remains of these
old time furnaces are still found. Chi
cago Herald.
A Remarkable Phenomenon.
; On Thursday, March 19, 1719, there
appeared at London, about 8 o'clock at
night, a "sudden great light moving af
ter the manner but more slowly than a
falling star. It started from a point be
low Orion's belt, then lying in the south
west, and went upward instead of down'
ward like a falling star. Its size, ac
cording to the testimony of numerous
observers in Spam, France, Ireland, Hoi
land and some parts of Germany, as well
as those who saw it in London and all
over England, was about that of the full
moon. It was of whitish color, with an
eye in the center as blue as the most
azure portion of a June sky after a thun
der storm. It "went straight upward in
its course until out of sight, leaving a
track of fiery red sparks in its wake."

Reason for Gratitude.
"I even once read a grateful defence
of Captain Kidd, the pirate."
"But you don't know the circum
stances under which it was written?" -
"No."
"He boarded a vessel where everybody
was seasick. He gave the usual order,
'Your money or your life.' Everybody
felt so thankful at the prospect of being
put out of their misery that they one
and all refused the money. He accord
ingly hung them, and the captain, who
was spared, was so thankful to be spared
their complaints that when he got on
share he wrote the article." St. Paul
