The Mic-Mac Glee Club guarantee uulea of approval to all that attend the voncert this evening. Tickets for the Mic-Mac concert this evening may be bought at the stores of Snipes & Kinersly and Blakelcy & Houghton. A farmers' alliance has been organ ized at Kingsly with eighteen charter members. The. next regular meeting will be held February 21st." Miss Sarah E. Walker has sung to large and critical audiences, and the Mic-Maca' assure our people that they cannot fail to eniov her beautiful and pathetic singing. The talented young lady who is to sing "A Bird in Hand" at the Mic-Mac concert this evening will also be heard ' in a duet with a sweet contralto from the state of New York. A society lady of The Dalles who has been favored with a glimpse of Miss Sarah K. Walker's costume for the con cert this evening, was heard to remark . that nothing like it had ever been seen here. . There will be Congregational church services in the court house as nsual Snn- dav at 11 a. m. : Sunday school at 12:15 p. m. ; Young Peoples' Society of Chris tian Endeavor at 5 p. m. Union ser vices at 7 p. m. with preaching by Rev - VV C. Curtis, pastor of the Congrega tional church. - - Byrne, Helm & Co. have just received a large shipment of new goods which they are now opening out and placing Sa sale. They include drugs, perfumes, , .toilet requisites and druggists' sundries, besides a supply of the best, liquors for medicinal use that could be bought for money. . The'CHKOKicLE itself would add one -word on behalf of the nieetting of the! Mic-Mac club tonight. We have the best of reasons for expecting the most' enjoyable time that- has been ip The Dalles for many a day. . We urge every one to go who can, on pain of regret afterwards. You will certainly get the worth of your fifty cents in solid fun and then too the money will all be devoted to the benefit of the city churches, whose property was deetroyed in the great fire. "-" Yesterday afternoon a representative of the Chbokiclk started; out to inter View a number of .leading1 citizens as to what course it was judged best our ounty court should take in the matter ofrmaking the county levy, in view of the : fact that Multnomah's county court had entirely ignored the findings of the state board of equalization, having -been ad-1 vised to do so by tne best legal talent in Portland. After havirfg conversed with Judge Bennett, Treasurer Ruch, Judge Story, Clerk Crsssen, Recorder Menefee and Dr. P. G. Barret of Hood .River,- and -finding there was only one sentiment, .- namely, that it would.be perfectly safe, not to say the wisest course, to follow the lead of Multnomah county and make our levy on the basis of the'--, county as sessors', returns it was considered need less to go farther. We are satisfied that the mass meeting' called for Monday night will prove that there is only one sentiment Jn.Jth.jxmumtiJtheJ subject. -. .' ' 7 Miss Lulu Bird went to Hood River Lyesterday to visit friends. - The celebrated vocalist Miss Sarah E. Walker is now in our city and will be liappy to receive Visitors from 2 until 4 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. ' N. Harris and. his daughter Miss Annie left last night for Chicago by way of Portland and the Northern Pacific. Mr. Harris goes on business and expects to be absent abont a month. . , It is rumored among the express men that they intend to petition the common council to pull down the Ruch building on the corner of Second arid Washington so as to make room for Will Vanbibber's team.! ' a" '"'' ' ; The beauty, if not the chivalry of Wasco's capital was gathered last night at the Wingate hall, in attendance at Miss Mason's Soiree. There was a very large attendance and a very en joyable time was had. , A number of . citizens nave signed a petition' to" 'the mayor and.' common council requesting that an arc light be placed at the corner of Fourth and Laughlin streets. A light somewhere near that place is very much needed and would undoubtedly be very much appreciated. ' A ball was given at the Kingsley hall, Kingsley, on Thursday night last which was quite a grand affair and a very pro nounced -success.; Oar informant says he happened to be there and took it in', and he thinks the Kingsley people are the best and iolliest people in the world and the Chronicle thinks so too. The Congregational church social held at the residence of Dr. W. E. Rinehart last evening was probably the most sue cessful event of the season. It was largely attended, as many as seventy persons being present, and the enter tainment freni beginning to end was most heartily enjoyed by all present. Sickness has laid its bands heavily on Georgr Herbert and his family. " He is iust able to be up from an attack of la grippe, and now Mrs. Herbert is sick. Mrs. Cates, his mother, came down to assist in earring for him, was taken sick and is lying at death's door. George Morgan, bis brother-in-law, who visited him, was also attacked and his wife- IB also seriously ill. It is hard lines, but we hope to note the speedv recovery of all. Glacier. , . The place where the Regulator is anchored has been christened by An drew Keller, the baker, "Hungry Har bor." The harbor contains, besides the Regulator the scows "Garfield," "Inter state" and "Flyer," Captain Stone's fish-wheel arid a dry land scow inhab ited by a couple of Swedish fishermen. All are occupied, save the fish wheel and "Hungry Harbor" forms a little com munity of its own, but they claim they Show me a, manwhp. ,ba8failedia Jtiia. business because of bis giving too much time and attention to matters outside of his business,' and nine times out of ten I will' show yoa a man' who; whe'ri a boy, did not learn as he should have learned, to pay that undivided Attention to bis school'1 work 'which-, the formation of such qualifies of character aa attention and application demands. An old adage tells ns that; it is riot profitable to have too "many irons in the fire at the same time. . ,. " -. : In the second place it is unjust both to hia classmates that a child should be permitted or compelled to be unnecessa rily absent from his school duties. " Ev ery' absence renders it necessary for the teacher to do special work?' with ' the ab sent hild when he returns in order that the child may- not lose any portion of the subject which the : clasa has gone over in hia absence and which is necess ary for the child's intelligent and profit able continuation; of the subject. This extra work done by the teacher is nearly always at the expense of time or energy or both that properly belong to the class as a whole and not to any individual member of it. : When the absence is un avoidably necessary ; the teacher will gladly make this extra expenditure of time and strength - and. the clasa Will ehtwM-fnllv aenniesce therein. .But When the absence is unnecessary,, then the necessity of the performance of this ex tra labor is an iniustice, both to the teacher and to the child's classmates. In the next place the tax-payers of this community and of this common wealth, do not maintain public schools as play places where children, whether of their own volition or by and with the consent of their parents, may attend school or not just as it happens to please them. And ntrain. inasmuch as under the laws of Vermont everv absence, excusa ble or otherwise, diminishes to a certain extent the district's share of the school money, so when such absence is avoida ble, the parent consenting to it, or worse still, requiring it, in effect casts upon all the-tax-pavers of this commu- . . . ' . 1 1 l. ; nity a certain nuiuuut, smau i"6u be. of increased burden of taxation. This again is manifestly unjust and in consistent, with tne duties ana ooiiga- tiona of good citieenship. 1 rest the matter nere,. trusting mat the proper spirit will take Jt into con sideration and that the result will be more regular attendance on the part of many and less frequent requests for ab sence on grounds reasonably avoidable and unnecessary. I know that the best sentiment oi tne community upon this subject is right and. in complete accord witn wnat i have stated above. It only , remains then, for this "beat aentiment" to make itaelf decidedly felt and those who might otherwise venture will no longer dare to run counter to it. The results - will be moat beneficial to the schools and their work. - I have said the above in kindness towards everybody - and from a sense of duty. - I remain, dear . friends, your obedient servant, James D.

The match was talkedabout so much that a museum manager paid the couple $10, 000 to exhibit themselves.'- ' Now she is suing for divorce"? alleging that her hus bank gets drunk and ill-treats her. But that is not all. - Her father, who wan a Washington official of some prominence, felt so badly about : hia daughter's action that he took to drink and was recently killed on a grade crossing in South Dakota.

An inquest was held at Pendleton on the 21st over the remains of Fireman V. H. Pound, who lost his life in the rail road accident which happened near that place a few days ago.

At the top of the rail the break was fresh, bnt the bottom showed that it was an old crack. The ties were proved to have been in good condition. Will Apply to Onr Schools. Editor Chronicle : The following communication clipped from an eastern periodical contains much good sense and practical advice that I should esteem it a favor if you would'give it a place in your columns.

Sincerely" yours. i f f -, - s f W.C. Ingalls, Principal W. I. A To the people of thia community in creneral. and in particular to those who have children in our Bchoola : Dbak Fbikndb : It ia my conviction, and not only inline, but it ia the convic tion of other teachers in our school with whom I have talked .wpon thia subject, that there does not 'lst in this com munity that strong sentiment that ought to exist against absences froni school work. Iu too many 'cases, parents not onlv permit children, to absent them selves from school but. worse still, act ually detain them from their school work for reasons that are "neither good nor satisfactory ' The illness of the abeent pupil, or ill bees of the family are always aatisfactory .reasons for absence and where honestly given will always meet with ready ac-. ceptance. But beyond thjese there are very few really good reasons that can be advanced for the detention of a child front his school duties, -and especially so when considered 8ide by eide with rea sons like the following against such de tentiqtE .- Tb-ii, with, it ist positively harmful to the 'developing. cliaii)'!,iV of a "child either to encourage hlviior to pttmit him to forsake bis school duties for any reasSns other than those most abso lutely imperative, j His school work is, or should be, his chief business' at his time of life and every other call whether of asocial, business or educational na ture phould be . made. . to .

A wagon' has to leave the grade and "go square down 4or up, as" the case may be, the pointof the mountain "where it ia so steep that one has to hold on with his teeth." How long will this state of af faire continue? Ia there n man in the three settlements of Tygh, Wamic and Wapinitia who has energy enough to sav to his neighbors "Come and let us build the new grade and remove this blot upon civilization' and humanity? Now is a time when work on the ne ir grade might be started." A month or two from now everybody will be at the plow. Must another year pass without anything having been done to remedy this evil? - The above had scarcely been set in type when Frank Dean, of Wamic, called at the Chronicle office and in formed the writer that in attempting to come up the particular place referred to, on his way to town yesterday, hia hack slipped off the grade and pulled the team over the bank with the result that the hack ia badly .damaged while the horses fortunately escaped with nothing worse than some bad bruises. This sort of thing has bees happening at that place every year or so for a long time. Three or four -years ago W. H. Butts, of thia city waa going down the hill with a four-horse load of wheat and . at the exact place' where Mr. Dean met the mishap, the' wagon left the grade and waa dashed to ' pieces in- the canyon a hundred feet below. A valuable span 4 of wheel horses waa killed on the soot, and the leaders only escaped because they had been tied "behind the wagon for convenience going down the hill. Again we demand -how long is this state of affairs to .last? While it is not possible to make a good grade at that particular point it could certainly be worked so that it would slope toward the hillside instead of towards the bluff, and the supervisor, whoever he is, Bhonld see that this is done. But a new road altogether is needed and tor cms the county court would certainly do something generous, but it ia only fair that the people of the three settlements interested should first show a disposi tion to help themselves. . When this is done the Chronicle and its friends at this end of the line will do everything in : their power to help the matter along. Besides a liberal appropriation from the county court the Chronicle believes that a generous subscription could be raised 'here ; but the people themselves must start the ball a rolling. Will they do so or wait till some more teams are killed and wagons destroyed and per haps human Uvea lost? We shall see. When Baby was alct, ire gave her Castoria.
