Pitta and Point Paragraphed by Oar

When mother held the little chap
And sang to him a tune
At ulght, when he sat on her lap,
He cried to get the moon.
Now more than half a century lies
Between him and his birth ;
Kt more to get the moon he cries,
Today he wants the earth.

Watch out for specious arguments
sprung at the last minute. They should
receive no consideration. They are gen
erally false, or they would allow time
for reply.
A. W. Branner, of Nansene, has pur
chased the restaurant which has been
operated by Chas. Haight for so long a
time. Mr. Haight will perhaps change
his residence.
Troy Shelley narrowly escaped being
seriously hurt yesterdry, while riding in
a buckboard just after crossing the iron
bridge across Mill creek. Here a team
from the opposite direction struck him
and he was thrown from his seat under
the horse's heels and afterwards run
over by the wagon. His injuries, luckily,
were confined to bruises.
We have the pleasure of acknowledg
ing the receipt of an invitation to be
present at the John Hopkins Univer
sity, Baltimore, commencement, which
took place at that noted institution on
last Tuesday. Mr. Frederick W. Wil
ssn of this city had the honor of being
graduated at that time, and has done
credit to his family and his Oregon
home. Mr. Wilson is one of Oregon's
promising young men, and it affords us
pleasure to congratulate him and the
Wasco graduates on the honors thev
have borne away.
Dr. Logan and son returned today on
the delayed train which arrived shortly
before noon. He was duly impressed
with the grandeur of the White city,
for which he has only words of praise.
He says that the stories of extortion is
exaggerated to a great extent; that
while prices are high in the "Tender
Join" and like districts, there are other
respectable quarters of the city which
are no higher than need be. In'sup
port of this claim he cited a hotel which
entei tains a host of good people from all
quarters of the country, where he paid
but $1.50 a day, and stated that the ac
comodations were fully as good as at
Chas. Haight's restaurant.
The citizens of Heppner have been
struck by the rain-making craze. Re
cently they attempted to bring rain by
exploding dynamite cartridges at differ
ent points on the high hills about Hepp
ner. The bombardment was kept up
for several hours, but failed to bring the
much-needed moisture from the clouds.
The Record thinks it isj useless to try
to bring . rain out of the clouds by ex
ploding dynamite on the ground. If
the explosives were discharged high up
in the air it might do some good, but
the trial proved it was a waste of pow
der to try to bring rain by exploding it
on the ground.
SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
John Stevens and Airs. Stansbury Per
haps Fatally Injured.
The Big Bonanza Co.
A large house greeted the Big Bonanza
Company at Wingate's hall last night
and none were disappointed. A first
class entertainment was given, being a
specialty performance, some of the
features of which were never seen in
any other company. One of these was
the "Georgia Wonder," which is a very
apt name, for the mysterious force she
utilizes cannot be explained by the lead
ing scientific minds, who confess them
selves baffled in trying to account for it.
The combined force of a dozen strong
men cannot force her from kn erect
attitude, when standing merely on one
foot. She weighs but 85 pounds, but
when standing on a chair and the chair
removed, all the men possible to get a
hold upon her cannot prevent her from
falling to the floor. The miniature song
and dance team were very skillful ami
comical. The mind reading tests were
the most severe that could be devised,
leaving no possible doubt that the per
formers can actually tell the thoughts of
another's brain. The performance, by
request, will be repeated tonight, with
some changes.
rutting Down the Help.
The Union Pacific company are re
trenching with a vengeance. News is
to the effect that the offices are to be
discontinued at Bonneville, Mosier,
Celilo and Blalocks. Wherever it is
possible to dispense with help in any
branch they have done so. There is
now but one switch crew in the yards
here, and from 11 in the morning till 11
at night not a car is moved. The re
trenchment will extend down to the
section hands on the road, as well as the
higher offices.
Ward Meetings.
The ward meetings last night by the
citizens resulted as follows :
First ward W. H. Butts, council
man ; Hugh JChri8man water commis
sioner for three years an.d P. DeHuff for
one year.
Second ward Dr. G. C. Eshelman
councilman; Thos. A. Ward, water
commissioner.

Last evening about 10 o'clock a hack,
filled with people, backed off the bridge
about half a mile below Dufur, and two
of the occupants had a narrow escape.
John Stevens of Dufur and Mrs. Stans
hury of Portland, the mother of Mrs.
Andrew Dufur. The occupants of the
sack were in attendance upon the camp
meeting. The stream at this point runs
very swiftly, and in the darkness the
rescue was very aitncult. lnis was ren
dered more so by the fact that the per
sons named were thrown under the
hack, and being caught.were held there,
their lungs soon filling with water.
After they were extricated, which was
with great difficulty, they sere uncon
scious and Dr. Vanderpool was at once
summoned. Everything possible was
done for the sufferers, but though still
living, they are reported today in a
very precarious condition. A gloom is
cast over Dufur and the accident is the
one topic of discussion.
MrsVstansbury is in a more serious
condition than Mr. Stevens, but both
are suffering acutely and are danger
ously ill.

ALUMNI REUNION.
One of the Pleasantest Entertainments
of the Season
There is something very cheering
about the word reunion, and as the
term alumni reminds one of the happi
est days of life school days, taken to
gether they form a pleasing combina
tion, especially to those who were per
mitted to meet with the alumni of
Wasco Independent Academy last even
ing at Praternity hall, for never were
guests more highly entertained. Mrs.
Eunice Crowe, as president, assisted by
well-chosen committees, did the honors
of the evening ; but every member of
the society apparently belonged to the
reception committee. Indeed, it must
have been a delightful task to entertain
such a host of congenial young people,
for all were determined to enjoy them
selves, and who cbuld succeed better
than a bevy of old schoolmates?
Interspersed with the social inter
course were two instrumental solos by
Mrs. Grace Condon and Mr. Nicholas
Sinnott, a piano duet by Miss Lang and
Miss Nona Ruch, a piano solo by Miss
Brooks and a reading by Mr. N. Sinnott,
which were greatly appreciated. Al
though the class of '88 has but one rep
resentative, it will always be a source of
congratulation to the alumni, for the
able manner in which Mr. Sinnott ren
dered Shakespeare's "Cassius to Bru
tus" displayed talent of which any
alumni might well be proud ; in fact,
this society has always been noted for
the superiority of its entertainments..
Pfhe guests were soon invited to the
parlors below, where tables were spread
in such a manner as to fairly take the
breath, but not the appetite, as was
proven, while the mandolin and guitar
club favored them with the sweetest
music. At the center table was seated
the class of '93, and at each one's platf
was found a beautiful little souvenir
booklet in the form of a marguerite, the
class flower, with marguerites painted
on the leaves, and the whole bound to
gether with ribbons of the class colors,
yellow and white.
Another happy hour was enjoyed
after lunch, and it is safe U say no one
present ever spent a pleasanter evening
than that with the alumni of Wasco
Independent Academy.
Among the guests were Prof. Brown,
Miss Leora Slutz and Miss Bessie Hol
comb, constituting the faculty of the
academy, and Mrs. Mary Myers, who is
always welcomed by every student of
that institution. The one regret of the
evening was that out of an alumni num
bering sixty members all but the fol
lowing were unavoidably absent: Class
of '82 Miss Anna Lang; '83 Misses
Besee Lang, Jeannette Williams, Minnie
Michel 1 ; '84 Mrs. Eve Houghton, Mrs.
Eunice Crowe ; '85 Mrs. Grace Con
don ; '86 Miss Lulu Bird ; '87 Misses
Ursula Ruch, Annette Michell; '88
Mr. Nicholas Sinnott; '90 Miss Etta
Story, Messrs. Edward French, Frank

Iva Brooks, Nona Ruch; '92--Mi8ses

INDIAN AGENTS.
The President has Gone Back on his

at Grande Ronde, Ogn. ; W. L.Powell,
of Seattle, at Neah Bay ; Lewis T. Irwin,

tions of warning to present incumbents
in office. J. H. Robbins has been ap
pointed receiver of public monies at La
Grande, Ogn. Henry Blackman, of
Heppner, is expected to be appointed
collector of internal revenue of Oregon.
