air.
Mrs. McCully, widow" of the late Perry
McCully died at Dufur this morning at
6 o'clock, after a short illness of typhoid
fever.
Mr. T. A. Hudson of this city has Been

The Chronicle lorce is indebted to
the courtesy of a gentleman too modest
to give "his name for a nice mess of
grapes.
Frank M. Amen of Aurora, formerly a
resident of Wapinitia and Kingsley, left
on the passenger last evening, after a
short trip to his old home.
Mr. Frank Gabel of Wapinitia is in

addition to his sheep range.
Yesterday morning the eighteen
months son of John A. Splawn, who
lives in Klickitat cpunty, near the Col
umbia river, was found drowned iu a
trough in the spring house, which Mr.

- Parties who have bills to collect from
the city should remember the new reso
lution: of the council, to the effect that
all bills must be handed to the recorder
at least twenty-four, hours before the
meeting of the council at which they are
expect to be paid.
A Chronicle reporter met a China
man on the street yesterday and observ
ing that he was lame, asked him what
vas the matter with him. John
promptly replied. "I have got the lem
entations in my feet." This new disease
is commended to the study of the med
ical faculty of this city.
' rWe were shown today a sample twig,
cut from an Italian prune tree, growing,
on a dry hill side, without irrigation,
and without cultivation for several years
on the old Lair Hill ranch west oi Mill
Creek. The prunes are huge and well
formed snd the trees adjoining are liter
ally loaded down with fruit, all of which
goes-to prove, if proof were nec.c.seary,
that our dryest bills are adapted to the
Bitccessful growing of this kind of fruit.
Sunday iaStj; .in Baker' City," a trunk
at one of the hotels was noticed to give
out a very offensive einell. - The land
lord, not knowing whose it was, had it
moved to the sidewalk to give it air and
then informed the authorities of his
suspicion that there was u dead man in
it. Next morning a constable armed
with proper authority opened it, when
it wan discovered, that the trunk con-
tained druggists samples and that the
smell arose from the contents of a broken
bottle.
Forty-eight teachers are now registered
on the list of those attending the teach
era' institute.
. There will be a grand open air concert

ment band. Members are requested to

self as confident that Portland will con
tribute liberally to the portage railway
scheme.
.Miss Jennie M. Long the elecutionist
from Portland, who is to take part in

gregational church this evening arrived
on the noon train today.
Uncle John Cates, our fellow towns
man, has been annoyed for some time
by a lot of worthless curs that get into
his cow-yard and worry his cows. This
annoyance has been repeated so often
that he loaded his gun for the intruders.
This morning he unloaded the gun and
as a result there are now two dogs less
to worry his cows.
Superintendent Troy Shelly", received
a letter this morning from Indepen
dence, Or., informing him of the death
of the wife of his brother, Mr. Roswell
Shelly. The deceased was under forty
years old. She leaves a husband and
four children. Mr. Shelly feels it to be
his duty at this time to remain at bis

which is matched for a half mile running
dash against Joe Trippier's gelding, Pay
Day. The race will come off the first
day of the fair and the stakes ar6 $100 a

A TALK ON PHYSIOLOGY.
An Interesting Talk ljr Professor Acker-
-lnstitnte Notes.
Professor Ackerman began the pro
gram yestet day morning by an exercise'
in numbers and arithmetic, in which he
showed what the child's work should be
for the first year. When the pupil has
learned all the combinations of figures
up to ten he has done his first year,s
work.
In the mental arithmetic work, Mr.
Nowlan was at a loss to know where the
squirrel went, which was hopping np
and down the tree, till the instructor in
formed him that the tree was hollow.
From the impression which Prot.
Wetzel left on the little children in the
model reading class ' yesterday,, it must
be admitted that he is a success with
children and child -teaching.
He lays a special stress on cultivating
the voice in reading, for it is a sure indi
cation of a refined, cultivated nature.
The instructor touched some' teachers,
we feel sure, . in his tone imitating a
country school boy's reading, and the
teacher was left to take the hint.
Xr roiessor Ackerman 8 instruction in
physiology this forenoon was in the
form of an entertaining talk. This ex
ercises was followed by Prof. Wetzell on
the subject; spelling. The professor gave
as an illustration of the old way of spell
ing the word.in-com-pre-hen-si-bil-i-ty,
but got tne nen ana tne bill (bil) so
badly mixed that the chicken escaped
from him. The remainder of his exer
cise consisted in tracing the history of
words. This was one of the most inter
esting exercises of the institute.- -
Up to noon the roll showed forty-two
teachers in attendance.
Instructor Wetzell is an enthusiast on
vocal music. In fact he says he will
not be angry if some personshould call
him a crank. By the way he is the mia
sing link in our institute, for, an insti
tute without a vocal conductor, is insiped
Neighbor Gilbert of Hood River got
throughly stirred up over Prof. Wetzell 's
instruction in writing, and thought like
Miss Mever, "It may be all right, but I
don't agree with you."
Prof. Wetzell in his subject of history,
yesterday afternoon got down to the
practical point in teaching. This prac
tical side of the question is what the
teacher is looking for, and, by the way
the instructor took occasion to give our
Monarchial State Board of Education a
shot on the enforced use of the state
series of text-books. We are glad to
hear our prominent educator of our state
raise his voice against these tyrants.
At the afternoon recess yesterday, Mr.
tand Mrs. French furnished the teacher
a treat iu the form of three big card
board boxes filled with peaches the
rarest specimens from their garden.
The only thingbetter than the peaches
are the big, kind hearts of those who
remembered the teachers so generously.
Coule again Mr. and Mrs. French
whether you have a peach or not.
.-Following recess, Prof. Ackerman took
up the subject of geography. If there
is a teacher in the institute who does
not understand the subject of mathe
matical geography as far as the professor
has gone, we fear he is a hopeless case.
The final subject for discussion yester
day afternoon was "The state series of
text books." Supt. Shelly appointed P.
A. Snyder to lead the discussion. The
weather being hot, the time short, and
the teachers fatigued with the day s
work, the subject was only partially dis
cussed. However, it was plainly shown
phat there are four text books, namely.
Glark's and Sell's grammers, Montieth's
geography and Watson's spellers, com
prised in the state series against which
the teachers are ready to revolt. '
A certain official in the state, should
he come up for re-election again, will
find it necessary to do a "mighty sight"
more "hustling" than he did two years
ago. Teachers may be fools, but it does
not take them for all eternity to under
stand why these antiquated' text-books
are foisted upon them, and these they
must use and no others." Oregon
has become the dumping ground
for all the worthless text-books
which, years ago, have been kicked out
of all the Eastern schools. There is one
sweet little remedy left to a long-suffering
public the ballot, and somebody is
going to hnd himself beautifully cov
ered over with a white drift of snow a
year or so hence.
Wasco Independent Academy.
The faculty for the year beginning
Monday, Sept. 7, 1891, is as follows:
Principal, W. C. Ingalls ; Preceptress,
Miss Selma G, Krehbel ; primary, Miss
Lorena Slutz ; assistant and teacher-of
art, Miss Bessie B. Holcombe. Mr. In
galls, it will be Temembered, was the
principal last year. The other teachers
are new in the school, but they come to
us very highly recommended, and a
successful year is assured. Quite a num
ber of new pupils have announced their
intention to enter school this fall. The
prospects were never better. It is also
encouraging to note the increasing inter
est in the school, manifested outside the
city. People are rapidly finding' out
that the Academy is a first-class school
in every particular. ,
A 'Warning;.
The sneak thief who stole the ther
mometer from the front of Crandall &
Burgett's store night before last is sol
emnly warned, on pain of exposure, to
slip back gome night soon, when no
body is watching, and put the stolen in
strument, back in the place he found it.
It is the only thermometer of the . kind
in The Dalles, the thief is known, and if
it is not returned in short order, it will
indicate a climate for its fraudulent pos
sessor, of about a million degrees in the
shade.

Those who prate about the deplorable
custom of wheat , raising as a means of
bringing a farm out of debt will this
year have to take a back seat. The
truth of the matter is that, properly
conducted, wheat farming has as many
merits to commend it as a means of
making a .success as many other
branches of agriculture, with additional
advantage of requiring less preparation
and bringing in quicker returns than
any other. Whenever a full crop com
mands a good price it proves a bonanza,
and while it is certainly discouraging in
the extreme to have a short crop of
wheat in a year of depressed prices, yet
tor soiia prosperity tnere are lew sec
tions that can hold over the wheat
growing states of the west. One year
with another, there are few occupations
that can beat grain growing among the
purely agricultural employments. Uem

The Emmit club met at hotel Linkville
last night to consider the question of

The Woman that Laughs.
For a good, everyday household angel,
give us a woman who laughs. Her bis
cuit may not always ,be just right and
she may occasionally burn her bread and
forget to replace dislocated buttons, but
for solid comfort all day and every . day
she is a paragon. Home is not a battle
field nor life, one long, unending row.
The trick of always seeing the bright
side, or, if the. matter has no bright side,
of shining up the dark one, is a very im
portant faculty, one of the things no
woman should be without. We are not
all born with the sunshine in our hearts,
as the Irish prettily phrase it, but we
can cultivate a cheerful sense of humor

state that iu the early part of 1881, my age being 56 years, I took out a Ten-Payment Life Policy in
the Equitable upon their Ten-Year Tontine Plan, for f 40,000. My premiums during the period
amounted to 37,512.00. The Tontine period expired early in January of the present year, and the
Company then offered me the following terms of settlement;

me hi iaae one oi ine oiner torms ot settlement, but finding that I was determined to surrender the
policy and take the cash, they finally instructed me from the home office to sand policy and receipt
for the amount, 136,496.80, to their State manager in Cleveland, and he would remit me the amount.
I followed their instructions and sent the policy and receipt through my bank in Springfield to our
correspondent in Cleveland, only to have it returned from the Cleveland Bank with the informatioa
that the State manager of the Equitable states that he "had not sufficient funds to meet it." Tb4
