The city got off pretty light for circus day only one drunk and disorderly. The East End feed yards are full of teams today, there being not a vacant his forenoon.

Numerous attempts were made yes terday to pass counterfeit $20 pieces by camp followers of the circus, but no in stance is known where the scheme suc ceeded. The Regulator left at 3 p. m. for Cas cades, connecting with the Dalles City for Portland. She carried 33 head of stock, 8 wagons and 20 passengers for Portland. The river is 31.8 feet above low water mark, and has been standing at this identical point for four successive days. As it has varied scarcely a hair's breadth, this is considered remarkable. The windows of the public school buildings are being shot out, presumably by unruly boys, and the school directors offer a reward- for information that will lead to the conviction of the malefactors. The record at the Portland race track is being maintained. Ruby won the three-fourths mile dash yesterday and a purse of $325, while Serretta waa third in the same race.

Frank Menefee is a most accommodat ing gentleman, but he would rather ptranger would suffer the inconvenien of carrying four five dollar bills than $20 gold piece. Consequently when was approached by a flim-flamer yes day he kept his double eagle, and sav shrinkage. An impression is out that F. S. Bur doin, who was reported to have died at White Salmon, was the young man re cently married, and considerable sym pathy has been expressed over the sad event. The impression, however, is an error. The deceased was the father of the young man. Indians saw a body floating in the river about a mile above The Dalles, but made no effort to secure it. They curiously reasoned that as they believed it was an Indian they would let it float. Perhaps a truer solution is that they objected to the smell, as they say it was badly decomposed. A. meeting of the fruitgrowers of Wasco county will be held at The Dalles at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon at the city hall. Court street, and S. A. Clarke will deliver an address on the occasion. He is thoroughly posted on horticultural matters, having had years experience, and is a good speaker. The ladies are making great prepara tions for the lawn social, which is to be given at the home of Mrs. D. M. French on the evening of the 4th of July, and no one can fail to enjoy an evening spent on such a beautiful lawn, with such pleasant surroundings, a good musical program and a lunch. Sanger & Lent's circus is very meritor ious. The acrobats, contortionist and special features were good. It had but one ring, and the return to the olden style is popularly pleasing. Three rings are bewildering and unless one is cross eyed the acts are unsatisfactory because of their variety. They were rather light on animals, but on the whole did very well. Mr. Eastwood dressed up the windows of the postoffice store yesterday in honor of circus day. A procession of toy horses, elephants, band wagon, mounted men and animals of all kinds led to a miniature tent, where a clown with open mouth seemed to be yelling direc tions to the crowd. It was a good take-off and was quite an attraction to scores of people who passed along Second street. Mr. Eastwood is original. Condition of Snipes' Bank. The committee appointed by the cred itors of Ben E. Snipes & Co. to investi gate the present condition of the bank, report the assets to be $231,118 in excess of the liabilities. The committee ex press the opinion that no depositor need feel in any way alarmed for the safety of his claim against the suspended institu tion. The entire individual estate of Snipes is in every way bound for claims against the firm of which he is a mem ber. Favorable progress toward re sumption of business is being made by Snipes.

He ports that there was a heavy frost yes terday morning, and that potato vines, which were over a foot high, were killed for half their length. Grain is also se riously hurt. The story is confirmed by various other reports to the effect that light frosts occurred on the creek bot toms and in some places a thin layer of ice. The continued cool weather is re markable, and the year 1893 will doubt- ess prove the coldest on record. PERSONAL MENTION. Geo. Smith of Albina is in the city. D.'H. Roberts, a grrduate of the state university, returned home Wednesday. Mrs. J. C. Oliphant and Mrs. Joseph Beezley went to Portland on the Regu lator t. iis afternoon. Mrs. J. M.

We will hear a great deal said on the 4th about George Washington. That George was a good boy and man nobody will deny. But simply because he didn't tell a lie because he couldn't, doesn't entitle him to very mnch credit. Compare bis little hatchet and cherry tree experience with one of our town boys who killed an old lien, the mother of a brood of chickens, the other day. When George's father asked him about it, he simply answered: "Father, I cannot tell a lie, I done it with my little hatchet," while the boy of the period answered when asked by his mother if he killed the hen : "You betcher life; she was eating up the cabbage, and blow me if I didn't take her napper." The boy could have lied, but he didn't ; and the chances are that a hundred years from now you won't hear his name mentioned, although his possibil ities are as bright as Washington's.

Old A sad affair was that at Hartland, Wash., last night which resulted in the death of Johnny Campbell, a 7-year-old boy and the only son of Mr. and Mrs. Angus Campbell. While returning from school on ponies, an older boy proposed a race. The little fellow accepted the friendly challenge, and after running some distance lost eontrol of the animal. The horse, sud denly shying, threw Johnny vlolenHy to the ground, striking on the back of his head. He was instantly killed by the force of the concussion. His companion was terrified at the unlooked-for result, and at once sought aid. Upon arrival he was found to be dead, and was after ward conveyed to the home of his parents, who were grief-stricken at the news. . Both are old people and their hopes had all centered upon their only child. A messenger arrived this morn ing who returned with a coffin for the little unfortunate. He will be brought here for interment and the funeral will take place from the Catholic church at 1 o'clock tomorrow. Rev. V. II. Wilson Stricken Paralysis. With A report was received yesterday that W. H. Wilson of Mitchell, father of Mrs. B. S. Huntington, has had a severe stroke of paralysis, and considerable anxiety is felt as to his condition. His son Parker, who received the news, left for Mitchell this morning. Later A letter received by Mr. and Mrs. Curtis confirms the above state ment. The further particulars are that Mr. Wilson was feeling much better and was quite sanguine when leaving Hot Springs after a pleasant stay of a week. On the 2 1st, when returning, Mr. Wil son fell over in the wagon, without a movo or sound, and when Mrs. Wilson tried to litt him up he could not speak, and was unconscious. He lay in a stu por and has not uttered a word since the fatal hour in which he was stricken. The doctor gives hut little hope. Mrs. Wilson is a faithful attendant at the bedside and has not undressed nor slept since he was taken ill. After Many Vears. John McGrail, who has been absent for ten years in Montana, met his par ents and family unexpectedly in The Dalles yesterday. The family were in town for the circus and John happened to be here at the same time, en route to the old folks' home in Kingsley, intend ing to happily surprise them with his sudden appearance. John has changed from a beardless boy of 17 years to a strapping, broad-chested man over six feet in height, and had so totally changed in appearance that he passed unrecog nized. Not so with the family. He recognized them at once and his heart thumped with the sudden joy which is unexplainable to those who have not had a similar experience. It required great self control to keep from bursting into tears as he saw the familiar features of his childish acquaintance, and noted, with nerves strung to the highest ten sion, the changes which Father Time had made in the faces of his beloved parents. After acquainting the others of the family of his identity, he pro longed the pleasure (or pain, which is it?) of making himself known to his mother, and passed her several times on the street purposely to see if she would not recognize him. But the transforma tion was so thorough she did not, and when he stepped before here and ut tered the magical word "mother!" the good old lady almost fainted from the sudden meeting. It is safe to assume that the shades of evening settled upon no family gathering happier thun the McGrails. - Begs to Be Excused. Colonel Frank J. Parker of Walla Walla says he will not take the Mana gua consulship if it is offered to him be cause "the salary is only 2,000 a year, with big chances of dying with yellow fever ; it . rains nine days a week, one has to live on red pepper and beans and be devoured by flies, and not a drop of good whisky in the country." Besides, the position is now held by his brother-in-law, who will probably be allowed to remain in possession. Palouse Gazette. Attention A Company. Third Regiment.

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 u 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 should procure a bottle of this Remedy before leaving home.
