Mr. H. P. Ernst who haa resided in ,
The Dalles for the past two years left
yesterday morning for his old home in
Mendon, Mich. On Monday evening;
the Congregational choir (of -which Mr.
Ernst was the basso profoundo) met at
the residence of J. M. Patterson to hare
a parting song. About 9 o'clock, to the'
surprise of the basso, about 20 of 'his
friends filed in to take a hand in the
parting.' : After speding a very pleasant
evening and presenting Mr. E. with a
beatuful oil painting of "Cape Horn on
the Columbia," in appreciation of his
choir services, the company dispersed
feeling that they had performed a very
pleasant duty. t; -. t-:-'.'-'. !V
To Lovely for Anything.
Much of the beauty, if not the. chiv
alry, of The Dalles was gathered at the
fashionable milinery store of Mrs. C. L.
Phillips last night to view the fine dis
play of new spring styles just received
at that popular ladies resort. " The re
porter was too bashful to obtrude where
there was not a single person . of the
male persuasion to lend variety to that
part of the scene, but he was permitted
to peep through the half open door
only that and nothing more as his bet
ter half entered, and the scene pre
sented was one ot rare beauty while the
said better half informed him afterwards
that Mrs. Phillip's new bonnets and hats
were "just too lovely for anything."
The opening will be continued tonight
and every lady in The Dalles who has
any desire to know what is going on in
beau monde should pay it a visit.
Shooting Scrape at Antelope.
The Bake Oven stake driver brought
ill word last night of a' shooting scrape
at Antelope, which occurred on last
Sunday. - The . particulars are- very
meager. It is only known that W. F.
Kelsay shot . Ed. Glisan through the.
body, it is believed, fatally. - Glisan is
the man who shot and killed an Antelor. e
saloon keeper named Pratt some four or
five years ago. Glisan was tried for the
crime and acquitted. Kelsay is a man
who always bore a . good reputation,
while Glisan is reputed to have been
quarrelsome, especially when in liquor.
It is said Kelsay offered to give himself
up but no one would assume the respon
sibility of taking him - into' custody.
Prosecuting Attorney W. H. "Wilson re
ceived a letter from the Antelope Justice
last night asking what steps should be
pursued, pending the result of Glisan's
injuries.
Millinery Opening.
Mrs. C. L. Phillips invites 'the ladies
of The Dalles and vicinity to . call

will take pleasure in exhibiting all the
latest styles of new millinery goods for
the spring of 1892. -

A Courtship by Letter.
Mrs. Mary M. Stevens, of Lincoln,
was married the first of the week at
Grand Island to Nelson Wetson, of
Cheyenne. The marriage was the out
come of a strange correspondence. A
friend of Mrs. Stevens is in the employ
of Nelson in Cheyenne, and suggested
to him one evening that he knew of a
woman who would make him an excel
lent wife. Nelson agreed, if ' the fail
creature should. prove acceptable and
could be won, to marry her. . He imme-
. diately wrote to Mrs. Stevens, setting
forth that he was the owner of a large
and paying ranch, was well off in the
world and wanted some one to share his
lot and help eat his potatoes. The lady
was not averse to embarking in the
matrimonial sea for a 6econd time, and
agreed that if everything was as repre
sented and the man was of a good moral
character she would accept.
She was fully satisfied on these points
ana tney, immediately considered them
selves engaged;. Business interests pre
vented. Nelson leaving home long enough
to come to. Loncoin ana be did not wish
to be so ungallant as to compel his be
trothed to go . to him, so they compro
mised and agreed to meet at Grand Is
land. Mrs. Stevens left for Grand Island,
wnere tne couple met for the first time,
Both considered that they had secured a
bargain and were made .one at once,
A letter was received, in .this city from

Collecting Back Dues.
The charming blond who presides at
the registered letter window of the poet
office threw up her dainty bands with
surprise a few days ago' when a gentle
man walked up to the window, and up
turning a big grip-dumped its contents
before her. . - There were 470 letters to be
registered.' ; Such a task bad never be

who provided help in the shape of three
assistants for her, and the pile was soon
disposed of. The man stood -by until
the receipts were given him. '
"The fact is," he explained, !'I am sec
retary of a fashionable club, and it's the
most difficult matter in the world to
make them pay up. I send hundreds of
bills, and when I speak to members
about it it's always the same story: '1
never got the bill, old -fel; certainly ril
pay up. Just send me a bill and I'll see
that you get it There are 470 delin
quents in the club and I'll be sure they
all get their bills this quarter." " , .

' Arizona's Petrified Forest...
From the Atlantic and Pacific railroad
it is not hard to reach one of the great
est of natural curiosities the petrified
forest ' of. Arizona. Much the nearest
point is the little station of Billings, but
there are the scantiest accommodations
for the traveler. Only a mile south of
the track at that point one may see a
low, dark ridge, marked by a single Cot
tonwood tree. ,
Walking thither, over a valley so alive
with jack rabbits that there is some ex
cuse for the cowboy declaration "that
yon can walk clear across on their
backs," one soon reaches the northern
edge of the forest, which covers hun
dreds of square miles. Unless you are
more hardened to wonderful sights than
I am you will almost fancy yourself in
some enchanted spot.. You seem tc
stand on the glass of a gigantic kaleido
scope, over whose sparkling surface the
sun breaks in infinite rainbows. . You
are. ankle deep in such chips as I'll war
rant you never saw from any other wood
pile. " . -
What do you think of chips from trees
that are red moss agate and amethyst
and smoky topaz and agate of every hue?
Such are the marvellous splinters that
cover the ground for miles here around
the huge prostrate trunks some of them
five feet through from which Time's
patient ax has hewn them. I broke a
specimen from the heart of a tree there
years ago which had around the stone
pith a remarkable array of large and ex
quisite crystals, for on one side of the
specimen which is not so large as my
hand is a" beautiful mass of crystals of
royal purple amethyst, and on the other
an equally beautiful array of smokv
topaz crystals. St. Nicholas.
Bic Guns in China.
The Pekin Gazette contains a curious
memorial from the viceroy of Canton re
specting 103 7f-centimeter guns manu
factured by Krupp on the order of Chang
Chihtungthe late viceroy of the prov
ince. The viceroy says the guns are
excellent in every respect, but they do
not suit the fortifications f Or which they
were intended. The damp climate of
the province and the white ants, "which
eat anything and everything," would
destroy them; the district is so hilly that
they could not be moved, the coast is
composed of wet sand, in . which - the
wheels would get fixed immediately; the
guns are too long, for the embankment
on which they were to be placed and
could not be turned around; there are no
horses in the province to drag them, and
if there were there is no forage for them;
finally, the horses in the adjacent prov
inces are so small that if they were im
ported they could not drag such heavy
guns. The obstacles being so numerous
and insurmountable,' the - memorialist
asks that he may be allowed to transfer
the gnns to his brother, Li Hung Chang,
lor use in the north, payment to be made
for them When he can. Should he re
ceive ..any money from his brother on
this . account, the memorialist promises
to report the fact. The emperor author
izes this course to be followed.
