Mrs. A. Schooling will give a grand

Mr. and Mrs. Buckley, of Grass

that the health of Mr. Buckley has been

Mr. and Mrs. Scott of Portland; and

Through the courtesy of Master Thos.
M. Roberts, son of Rev. Mr. Roberts, of
his county, we have received an invita
tion to attend the third annual junior
exhibition, of the university of Oregon
to be held at Villard Hall, Eugene City,
on Fi-iday evening, April 4th. We no
tice that Master Robers is down on the
programme for an omlion on the ques
tion, "Do recent events tend to show
the stability of republicanism in Span
ish America?' ,
Yamhill County Ledger "T How can
we wonder at the young men and boys
indulging in the brutal amusement (if it
can be so called) of prizefighting. Every
paper almost contains some account of a
prizefight in some part 'of the United
States. Then how long will people re
main quiet readers and quiescent specta
tors of these open violations of the law
and revolting exhibitions of brute force.
How much better for the youths of our
country if the whole army of prize
fighters were at once banished from the
land and warned never to return until
they have learned to make their livings
by honest toil. : " - : : -
A New Star Discovered at Hood River.
After the darkness had settled down
on the Hood river valley last evening a
couple of good natnred young fellows
of. the village lighted a lantern and
climbing a tall pine tree on the southern
bluff, tied the lantern to a limb and re
turned to" town. .The stores were still
open and the boys lost no time in point
ing out, with all the mock innocence
they possessed, the new star that peeped
through the tree tops. The ruse worked
like a charm. Jim Langille, a veteran
of the civil war said, "Boys, that star
means war. -Just such signs as that ap
peared in various places before the re
bellion.". George Prather said, "Boys
that's a comet," And then he wanted to
telegraph the news to the Chronicle.
Henry Howe insisted that it was Mars,
and E. D.. Smith turned a telescopek-on
it with what result no one knows for
Mr. Smith . never gave himself away.
George Crowell thought the day of
judgment had come, and after saying his
prayers, he gathered up all the money
in the tills and laid it away in the safe.
And still the' mock star twinkled in
the tree top till the small hours of the
morning, when it sank exhausted into
the surrounding darkness.
PanplDg ts Gravity.
J. L. Carroll of Pendleton, whom the
people of The : Dalles will remember
kindly for having brought down Pendle
ton's contribution to the sufferers by the
Dalles fire, was in town last night. In
the course of a pleasant chat with a
Chronicle representative reference was
made to the water works of the town of
Pendleton, a town, with a population
nearly equal to that of The Dalles. Pen
dleton has the luxury of a pumping sys
tem, a luxury that some men of narrow
comprehension and broad prejudice
would like to have saddled on this city.
Pendleton is sorry she has a pumping
system and would like to swap it off for
gravity and may do so before long. . Two
engineers are employed about half the
time. The engine consumes about 100
cords of wood a month . at an average
cost of 4.60 a cord. Other "lesser ex
penses make the system an immense
burden on the city. Besides accidents
will happen occasionally to the machin
ery and then the water gives out in the
city. Last summer an accident of this
nature left the town three days, without
water. Contrast " these facts,' ye tax
payers of The Dalles, with your water
system and rejoice with exceeding great
joy that the wisdom of the city council
delivered us from a like oppressive bur
den. Speaking of . politics Mr. Carroll
thought that Hon. John C. Leasure was
ahead of every other candidate of Uma
tilla county for the congressional nomi
nation. He was satisfied Mr. Leasure
would have no trouble in carrying the
whole thirteen deligates and probably
some adjoining counties as well.

Editor Chronicle:
As erroneous statements have been
made and repeated in the Chronicle as
to the receipts-of the county clerk's
office, I deem it my duty to remove the
impression that has gone abroad as to
this office being a veritable mint, by the
following sworn statement of receipts
from ail sources for the first year of my
incumbency.
State of Oregon, County ot Wasco, ss. :
I, James B. Crossen, county clerk ol
Wasco county, do solemnly . swear that
the following is a true and correct
statement of all fees received by me as
such county clerk from July 7th, 1890,
to July 1st, 1891 :

Subscribed and sworn to before me
this 25th day of March, 1892. -
Frank Mekefee,
Notary Public for Oregon,
The first item . includes all payments
made by the county of every nature aud
is the only part of the statement in
which the taxpayers are interested.
The ' second embraces all - litigation,
recording, licenses, etc.
It must be remembered that this office
has . expenses as well as emoluments.
The item of clerk hire alone during the
above mentioned period amounting to
$2450. The present,' my second year of
office, will average about the same as to
receipts. I have no desire to conceal
from the taxpayers or from any other
persons what fees I. am receiving as they
are all provided for"by statute. .
The books of this office "are always
open for the inspection of anyone seek
ing the same, and I think investigation
should be made before reckless state
ments are published for political or any
other effect. . J. B. Cbossen,
County Clerk.
' -.Literally Death by Inches.
A Los Angeles physician told us the
other day that the most trying time in
all his experience was . during, the past
five weeks, when he stood hopelessly by
and saw a poor ranchman near Pnente
die by inches of what is known' as pro
gressive paralysis. The patient was first
affected in one big toe. In a short time
the limb was paralyzed to the knee.
Two physicians were called, and all the
known remedies'' were applied to stay
the progress of the deadening attack,
but in vain. Hour by hour death moved
on its victim. . . The patient was propped
np in an armchair and fully realized
bis condition. He awaited the end with
the coolness and bravery of a martyr.
As the line of death .crept nearer and
nearer his heart he made calculations as
to how much longer he could live. He
said, "Now it has reached the. body,"
indicating the exact place with his
finger. In a little while he said, "It
has reached the bottom, of my lungs."
Another short wait and he said faintly,
"It has touched my heart," arid he fell
over dead. Pomona Express.
Electricity to Succeed Horses.
An electrical parcels delivery van, con
structed by a London electrical com
pany, is a compactly designed vehicle
upon four rubber tired wheels, and is
driven from a seat similar to that of an
ordinary van. Switches are used to set
the motor in operation and to apply the
brake, while a vertical wheel and end
less worm are revolved to change the in
clination of the front axle and thereby
the direction in which the vehicle trav
els. The motor is worked by accumu
lators of sufficient power to run from
two to two hours and a half at a time
and at the rate of six miles an hour.
It is claimed that the use of electricity
over horse power will show an economy
as compared with horse traction, and
the company will immediately put the
van to exhaustive experiments upon the
London streets as a parcel cart. It will
carry about half a ton of goods. New
York Telegram.
How a Name Originated.
About 250 years ago Jonathan Meigs
fell in love with a beautiful Quakeress,
He was repeatedly refused, but he per
severed in his suit, riding seventy miles
every Saturday across a country infested
with hostile Indians in order to pass the
Sunday near the lady at "meeting." On
the last visit, as he slowly mounted his
horse to ride away, the sight of his de
jected face touched the young lady, and
lifting her hand she beckoned to him,
crying, "Return, Jonathan." The phrase
was adopted as a Christian name in the
family that sprang from the subsequent
union, and a man named "Return Jon
athan Meigs" has just died in Washing
ton. Yankee Blade.
Cruel Treatment of a Mother-in-law.
In Dantzic two weeks ago the shop
keeper Gode, from Pasewalde, -was sen
tenced to eight days' imprisonment for
frightening his mother-in-law, Fran
Weiss, with a telegram. Gode owed,
Fran Weiss money and she provoked
him by . writing for it. . She had once
warned Gode -never to send her a tele
gram, as she "was so nervous that it
would kill her." Immediately after re
ceiving the dun from her, Gode tele
graphed back, "My wife is dead." Frau
Weiss fainted and was ill for a week be
fore she learned that Frau Gode was
well, and that Gode had sent the tele
gram out of malice. Then she had him
arrested and punished. New York Sun.
