Discharged the Section Hands.
It is currently reported today that
the Union Pacific road has just made
another sweeping reduction in their help.
The section foreman here, Bailey by
name, Maloney on the division above,
and at Mosier and "Viento on the divi
sions below, have been instructed to dis
charge all their hands and do the best
they can without them. A little over a
week ago these gangs were reduced to
two men each, and now that all of them
have been laid off the state of the track
a few weeks hence will be frightful to
contemplate. In warm weather the rails
expand, breaking the fish plates, and
occasionally a rail will get out of place
and project past another one. In many
places the roadbed will get covered with
sand on a windy day, and no regular
force is provided to remove it. The
piesent managing of the road may be
d j?nated as economy gone mad, un
less it is proposed to soon discontinue
all train Bervice, for a roadbed un
watched and unattended will soon,
go to wreck and ruin.

The members of a church at Fostoria,
Ohio, 400 in number, are hereafter to
have individual wine glasses out of
which to receive the wine at commun
ion, it being considered that in these
days of microbes and germinal disease,
it would be dangerous to the health of
the congregation to use glasses in com
mon. It may be presumed that the
initial of the communicant will be
ground on the glass as a matter of fur
ther precaution against contaminating
influence. The Fostoria 400 are cer
tainly fastidious about what touches
their pious lips.
Dr. M. J. Davis is a prominent physi
cian of Lewis, Cass county, Iowa, and
has been actively engaged in the practice
of medicine at that place for the past
thirty-five years. On the 26th of May,
while in Des Moines en route to Chicago,
he was suddenly taken with an attack of
diarrhoea. Having sold Chamberlain's
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy
for the past seventeen years, and know
ing its reliability, he procured a 25 cent
bottle, two doses ot which ' completely
cured him. The excitement and change
of water and diet incident to traveling
often produce a diarrhoea. Every one
j should procure a bottle of this Remedy
'jeiui leaving home. For sale by

WORKING FAMILY PRIDE.
Sleek Stranger Asks Several of Onr
Citizens fur Small Amounts.
About 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon a
man came into the Chboxicle office and
.stating that his name was Harlan asked
for $6.50 to enable him to get to his
brother's stock ranch, 123 miles from
Portland. He particularly pressed his
relationship for the loan. He claimed
to be recently from Scotland, and
stranded in The Dalles, just short of his
goal. His brogue was the only evidence
of the truth of any of his statements,
and his request was unsuccessful. It
was later learned that he claimed fof bis
name Glenn, Mclnerny and Lochhead,
and recited the same tale to these gen
tlemen with like result. Later in the
evening he procured a buggy at one of
the livery stables and drove around the
streets. He is probably the same man
reported by the East Oregonian as fol
lows :
"Tuesday evening, about 6 o'clock, a
young, round-faced man, wearing a
gray suit and derby hat and possessed of
a tongue that wagged glibly, his talk
being marked by a pronounced Irish
brogue, drove in front of F. F. Wams
ley's residence with a gray horse and
top buggy, and asked permission to tie
his horse there until he had time to see
the Catholic priest, Father DeRoo.
The stranger failed to get any financial
aid from Father DeRoo and also Mr.
Wamsley, but it is said 'worked' the
priest at La Grande for a ticket to Pen
dleton. He is supposed to be the same
fellow that obtained $8 from Landlord
Cook of the Hotel Warshauer, Baker
City, by representing himself as "Mr.
Cook, from Nebraska.' This forenoon
the sharper tried to work the name
racket on Mayor Alexander, S. P. Gould,
J. V. Tallman, Sam P. Sturgis, C. H.
Carter and I. T. Barr, without success
in either case."
A TOTAL LOSS.
The Oregon Lumber Co's.
Plant Dei
troy ed by Fire.
Hood River, Or., June 22,
1893.
Special to The Dalles Chronicle.
The planing mill and lumber yard of
the Oregon Lumber company, situated
three miles below Hood River, burned
this morning about 3 o'clock. Loss be
tween $8,000 and $10,000. No insurance.
u'he origin of the fire is unknown, but it
s supposed it caught from a spark from
he engine, as the mill had been running
ill 12 o'clock last night. This leaves
ome twelve or fifteen men out of em
iloyment. The flames also spread to the flume
and at this writing it is still burning.
The roadbed of the Union Pacific a short
distance away is unharmed.
This Fish Goes Hunting.
The jaculator fish, the piscatorial
nner ef the Javan lakes, uses his
mouth as a squirtg-un, and is a marks
man of no mean ability. Go to a small
lake or pond filled with specimens of
jaculators: place a stake or-pole in the
water with the "end projecting' from 1
to 3 feet above the surface, place a
beetle or fly on top of the pole and
then await developments. Soon the
water will be swarming with finny
gunners each anxious for a shot at the
tender morsel which the. experimenter
has placed in full view. Presently one
comes to the surface, steadily observes
his prey and measures the distant 3.
Instantly he screws his mouth into the
funniest shapes imaginable, dis
charges a stream of water with pre
cision equal to any sharpshooter,
knocks the fly or beetle into the water,
where he is instantly devoured by the
successful nimrod or some of his
hungry horde. . This sport may be kept
up as long1 as the supply of beetles and
flies holds out. . . .
Sense of Smell in Dogs.
It has often been proven that dog's
are able to track their masters through
crowded streets, where it would be im
possible to attribute their accuracy to
anything' except the sense of smell
alone. Mr. Romanes, the naturalist,
once made some interesting experi
ments as to this wonderful power, as
exhibited in his own dog. In these
tests, the naturalist found that his
dumb friend could easily follow in the
tracks of his master, though he was far
out of sight, and that too, after no less
than eleven persons had followed,
stepping exactly in the tracks made by
Mr. Romanes, it being the deliberate
intention to confuse the senses of the
poor dog if possible. Further experi
ments proved that the animal tracked
the boots instead of the man, for when
Mr. Romanes put on new footgear the
dog failed entirely.
Different points upon the surface of
the earth revolve with different veloc
ities. At the poles the speed of rota
tion is nothing, but at the equator it is
greatest, or over 1,000,000 miles per
hour.
