A "schooner" in hand is worth two in
the keg.
Blessed is he that knoweth nothing,
for nothing will trouble him.
Four loads of wool were delivered yes
terday at the Wasco warehouse.
You will never miss your German
buttermilk till the keg runs dry.
One by one the "lone fisherman" is
returning. Plenty of tan and freckels,
bnt no fish..
The west bound U. P., passenger train
arrived here this morning one hour and
thirty minutes late.
At the Wasco warehouse today, four
teams were loaded with 'freight for the
Antelope and Mitchell country.
The state board of agriculture has the
thanks of the' editor of The . Dalles
JJ Chronicle for a complimentary ticket
to the Oregon state fair.
The new steamer Regulator is now the
centre of atti ation in The Dalles and it
has got to be quite a fashionable fad
among the gentle sex to visit the wharf
every evening and discuss the fine points
of the new boat.
Frank Perry, late foreman of the water
works gang, of this city left for Portland
this morning. He has accepted the pos
ition of foreman of construction on the
Great Northern railroad and will be in

oats, this morning which he sold to C.
L. Richmond for $1.25 a hundred. Just
as Mr. Harriman had got about twelve
feet from the place of unloading the off
hind wheel of his wagon broke down.
He considers himself lucky that the
break-down did not occur on the .road.
Those in this city who noticed, about
noon, that the town' tipped over, just a
little, towards , the east, may be com
forted by the knowledge that the tipping
was not caused by .an earthquake but by
the fact that the two great editors of The
Dalles dailies were over at the East End
at the same time gathering items.
A letter received yesterday from the
president of the Board of Immigration,
by Major Ingalls who has charge of the
' work of gathering and shipping to -Port-'
land all the products brought to him in
""tended for the exhibit, "Oregon on
Wheels," contains the following "There
will be but one car and we will try and

land, although Portland stands the en
tire expense. You are the only gentle
man -who has volunteered : to do any
work on it at all, and we will, see that

8am Thnrman Finds a Bee Tree.
(Special Corr spondence from Collins' Landing.)
Sara Thurman is in camp at Collins'
landing with George Filloon and family.
He is chief cookand bottle washer, and
by the way, has made quite an impres
sion on a certain young lady of the
camp by his continued efforts. He
amuses himself between meals by fish
ing, hunting, bathing and chopping
wood ; in fact he is more useful than or
namental. On one of his bathing trips
he found a bee tree while he was sunning
himself on a sand pile, and immediately
proceeded to make prisoners of the bees
by stuffing all his shirts, underwear and
battling towels in the hole where they
went in and out of the tree. -. Of coarse
Sam had his axe along (to protect him
self against bear) and at once began the
task of robbing the bees of their honey.
He succeeded in felling the tree and. at
tempted to split it, with the proud
thought of how tickled his girl would be
when he got back to camp with his
honey. What a surprise it would be to
all to have some real .genuine bee honey
and Sam would be the hero. ' He could
scarce wait-until he. jbad secured the
sweet, delicious prize; iut he never
looked up from his work until after an
hour's hard toil, chopping. and splitting
the old trunk. - It finally popped open
when a swarm of yellow jackets escaped
from the nest and in less time than it
takes to tell it, Sam was completely cov
ered with the pretty little bees and
looked more like a yellow jacket himself
than anything else, and if Sam ever, did
get a move on himself it was then. He
jumped, yelled and struck, kicked and
laid down and rolled,- but all to no effect,
and, finally,' as a last resort took to the
water to drown them, which finally done
them up. Stung and almost killed Sam
made for camp and, being clad only in
garments oi nature, ne hid behind . a
clump of bushes near camp and called to
George to bring vaseline and other sooth
ing salve and some ' clothes,. He was
helped into bed where everything was
done, that could be, to relieve pain
Sulphur , water .from the springs was
brought" and ' nixed with salt, pepper
and sauce and was fed him with a
spoon;' Sam pronounced it good. At
last accounts his eyes; were swollen shut,
and he was unable to navigate. Sam
says that next time he digs for honey he
will be sure that he has his' clothes on
and that they are genuine Italian bees
Poor fellow, he has the sympathy of his
friends. Reporter.
An Example.
The teas for American consumption are
bought in China by European experts,
who are called "tea-tasters." The en
cyclopedias are authority for the fact
that in a few' years they have to give up

the adulterations and mineral coloring

Th Robber Got Little. '
A interview with Charley Adams, the
stage driver, who. was held up on the
Deschutes hill on Wednesday, last, re
veals little new to the Chronicle beyond
the fact that it is now pretty certain
that the thief got away with no valuable
registered matter, and, outside of money
enclosed in ordinary letters, of which
comparatively little passes through the
mail, he can not be much richer than be
was before. The three - mail sacks were
brought in on the stage last evening.
They had been cut open and rifled.
The third sack was found in Buck Hollow
and beside it was the greater portion of
the mail which had been opened and
left there. There is yet no evidence
that the robber had an accomplice be
yond the fact that two masks were
found near the scene of the robbery.
It is believed the thief , had a- horse
cached in Buck Hollow during the time
of the robbery and that as . soon as he
had gone through the 611 ail he left for
parts unknown. It is known that the
day before the robbery, at 'least one
registered ' package, containing $500 in
greenbacks, was mailed from this city
for a man in Crook county ; but the
thief was too late to catch this by one
day. The package, addressed ' to the
Baldwin Land and Live Stock company
that Mr. Fairchild suspected to contain
greenbacks, was found with other rifled
mail and was a package of dry goods.
Mistaken Identity.
Two persons recently escaped from
the county jail at Baker City and a dep
uty sheriff and constable started in pur
suit of them. Suspecting that the pris
oners had followed the railroad track,
the two officers boarded a freight train
for Haines station, and after arriving
there they started to walk back, expect
ing to meet the prisoners on the way.
Arriving at Willow Creek they sighted
two men coming towards them and
when about seventy feet from them
some remark was dropped that led the
the strangers to turn a shot gun, loaded
with buckshot, and a pistol, loose on
them. The officers, who were armed
with- revolvers, responded till eleven
shots were fired when the strangers
took the brush and escaped. The offi
cers searched in vain for them all night
and till nearly noon next day,' when
they learned, to their surprise, that it
was a case of mistaken identity. Each
pair had mistaken the other for the es
caped prisoners. No harm was done;
however, beyond the fact that one of the
strangers had been struck on the boot
heel by a bullet.
v Ean de Cayenne.
A short, time ago the Chronicle rec
ommended its readers to try the' effects
of cayenne pepper on trees and vines in
fected with lice or ' bugs. The other
morning a lady on Fourth street deter
mined profit by the' advice, and she
plentifully dusted the handsome vines
and flowering shrubs in front of her
residence with the scarlet condiment.
Just as the operation was over and the
lady had closed the front door behind
her, a peddler, dressed in a gorgeous plug
hat and immaculate linen duster walked
up the front steps and while waiting for
a response, to his knock, thought he
would sniff the fragrance of the lovely
flowers. One sniff was all he asked, and
when the lady came td the door all she
saw was the coat tail of the peddler
swaying in the breeze as he huurriedly
closed the front gate and managed to
stammer out between coughs and
sneezes, "I can't speak."
A Good Appointment.
Mr. S. L. Brooks has been appointed
agent, at this place, for The Dalles, Port
land and Astoria Navigation company.
No better appointment could have been
made. Mr. Brooks has jtiberally contri
buted to the enterprise 'and his interest
in its success as well as his native energy
and familiarity with the wants of the
community will insure efficient service
to the company and obliging accomoda
tions to its patrons.' The office of the
company will be in the rooms over the
Chronicib office and any enquiries as to
rates and other matters connected with'
freights ' and transportation will be
