The county convention of the W. C.
T. U. closed its labors last night at the
Methodist church. The Scripture read
ing by Mrs. Riggs was from Isaiah lviii.
Mrs. Riggs mentioned that in famine
stricken Russia last year 800,000,000 gal
lons of alcohol were used, which re
quired 20,000,000 bushels of grain, which
if used for food, would have done away
with all of the suffering from hunger.
She related many facts of interest.
The reading of the annual report of
Mrs. Doughtery next took place, fol
lowed by music by the Alki club.
Recitation, Miss Georgia Sampson.
Miss Trumbull the speaker of the even
ing, was then introduced by Mrs. S.
French. This lady gave ..one of the
pleasantest talks it is ever been our
pleasure to hear. Dealing with the tem
perance qnestion in all its phases, she
touched upon and illuminated them
with choice rhetoric, with phrases, that
while continually changing as the scin
tillations of a diamond, were yet accur
ate; with a candor that was unmistaka
ble ; with grace, and ease, and unaffec
tation, with musical, modulated tones,
she held the audience spell-bound by
the force and purity of her language and
the common sense of her ideas. We
will not attempt a review of her lecture ;
to mention any of it would be an in
justice to the remainder; and to give all
f it is beyond our abilities. Those who
tended were well repaid, and those
ho did not should avail themselves in
e future, if it is ever a possibility, to
ear this delightful lecture.

There is in Berkeley a young ladies'
fraternity, called Kappa Alpha Theta.
The wicked Berkely youth, knowing no
respect, calls them the Kats horrid
feline cognomen, suggestive of backyard
concerts. When the Kats first took their
place on the high board fraternity fence
fraternity, considering the sex, is, per
haps, a misnomer they became at once
the sport of the joking boys. Once, the
temple ot Vesta, otherwise the Kat
house, was even decorated as to its door
knob with festive kine but of that the
newspapers have said enough. Re
cently, however, a hotly contested elec
tion was held in Berkeley for the posi
tion of football manager a position
which ia full of glory once or twice a
year. Among the contestants was Billy
Denman, a son of the supervisor from
the Twelfth Ward. Toward the close of
the day, when it appeared that the elec
tion was going against himJ Denman got
the Kats together, and offered to pay
their assessment if they would vote for
him those only being allowed to vote
who had contributed to the football
iuna. xney consented, and voted ac
cordingly. Shortly after, Jack Mays,
son of Mayor Mays of The

"Here's his assessment."
"I guess the dog can't vote, Jack,'
rejoined the man at the polls.
Mays turned to the crowd :
"Boys," he said, "I'll leave it to you
if a dog's vote ain't as good as a Kat's."

GOT HIS MAN.
Dane Introduced to the American !
Style of Hotel Runners.
The hotel runners ot The Dalles come
nearly worrying the life out of a passen
ger occasionally, and it will not be sur
prising if some time, some poor indi
vidual will become so befuddled as to
turn out a raving maniac. Yesterday a
Dane arrived on the 4 o'clock train and
he was immediately surrounded by run
ners. He didn't know a word of Eng
lish, German or French, which were all
tried without avail, but by heroic ges
ticulations Skibbe secured control of
him and his grip. Ere he could go a
dozen feet he was hemmed in in front,
in the rear, and on both sides by run
ners of the other hotels, all shouting,
and gesturing, and vociferating as if a
murder had just been committed and he
was the assailant caught in the act. In
fact the poor deluded devil did turn
white in the face, and abandoning his
grip to its fate, started to run. He was
caught again and shouted to, with
Skibbe walking along in front hotel
ward, with one of his irresis table smiles,
and finally emerged from view within,
when he was given Up it was a close
rub for Skibbe though.
MARKET REPORT.
It is manifest that the present depres
sion of trade is exceptionally severe, and
promises to be enduring. Some attrib
jite this depression to the injurious ef
fects of the McKinley and other protect
ive tariffs instituted in foreign countries
and in our colonies ; others to over-
speculation, and yet others to the trades
unions, which have increased the wages
and diminished the hours of the work
men. But these appear to be secondary
and minor causes. With scarcely an
exception all our correspondents speak
of a fall of prices greater than that which
can be attributed to the normal prog
ress of industry the introduction of
labor-saving appliances, etc. Many ad
mit that the demand for the special ar
ticles which they produce is good, while
insisting with a curious unanimity upon
a general and continous fall in prices.
Exchange.
Turn Ont Everybody.
A mass meeting of citizens will be held
at the court house this evening for the
purpose of making arrangements for en
tertaining the Volunteer Fireman's As
sociation of the state of Oregon; which
meets in The Dalles in September and
for the additional purpose of determin
ing whether a hose tournament shall be
held on the Fourth of July. Every one
is requested to be present.
Thursday, April 20. The week just
past has been variable in weather and
likewise in the volume of trade with our
business men. There have been fitful
spurts of activity among business houses
which evidenced an improvement over
the former week. Quite a number of
teams have come in from interior towns
after freight and immediate supplies
which has given a stimulating influence
in business circles.
In the produce market there is the
usual quietness. Eggs continue to come
into market sparingly, and 15 cents per
dozen is the ruling quotation for today.
Butter is more plentiful and 40 cents per
roll is said to be the price paid for good.
Poultry is scarce in the market with a
better inquiry. Potatoes are steady at
$1.35 to $1.50 per 100 lbs.
In groceries, sugar has advanced a
quarter of a cent on all grades. Coffee
remains steady on former quotations.
Beans have declined of a cent per lb.
Stock salt has declined, likewise Liver
pool. Mill feed is steady at former prices.
Rolled barley has advanced in conse
quence of an advance in barley which is
becoming more scarce as the season ad
vances. Oats are difficult to get, and
owing to the increasing scarcity, the
market is very firm with a strong ten
dency to higher prices.
The wool market remains in a dor
mant condition at present. No one
cares to give an opinion of the market
from recent advices.
The cereal situation is far from satis
factory. The future prospects for a
repetition of 1891 in an over production
is not expected, judging from the report
from the U. S. department of agricul
ture, as the present average wheat con
dition shows only 77.4 per cent, of a full
crop. Oregon's standing is 99 per cent.,
while California has 67 per cent., and
other prominent wheat states average
80 per cent.
Money for Argentine.
London, April 19. The Argentine
government has made, through the Bar
ings, an offer to the Rothschild commit
tee to pay 1,500,000 annually, with re
sumption of payments of full interest
after five years, as a settlement of the
foreign debt, the bondholders to arrange
among themselves how the amounts
shall be apportioned. This last pro
vision probably will render futile the
whole offer, as it is likely to cause end
less discussion among the claimants.

The Hen Gave Up the Job.
A "Cape Codder" tells how he cured a
setting hen. "I made," he says, "half
a dozen snowballs and soaked them in
water. In the morning they were solid
ice. I shaped them as near like an egg
as possible and then placed them under
the setting hen. She smiled. I stood
by and watched her. She cuddled the
ice eggs under her and chuckled softly
to them. In about ten minutes she ap
peared to get uneasy. She arose and
scratched the darlings together and
shook herself; then, evidently sat
isfied, settled down again. Soon she
got up once more, this time -with evi
dent concern; something was wrong,
surely; perhaps the weather was get
ting cold. She felt wet and chilly, but,
with great perseverance, she sat down
again, and again got up, this time for
good. She walked out of the box and
then turned and looked in, but she had

On arriving home last week, I found

now well, strong and vigorous, and well
fleshed up. S. B. Cough Cure has done
its work well. Both of the children like
it. Your S. B. Cough Cure has cured
and kept away all hoarseness from me.
So give it to every one, with greetings
for all. Wishing you prosperity, we are
