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

As it has varied scarcely a hair's breadth,
this is considered remarkable.
The windows of the public school

and one would almost believe the finan
cial condition of the country had been
solved by a general shower of $20
gold pieces over the country.
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

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

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.

A Killing Frost.
Griffin of 15-Mile is in town. 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.

Washington Compared.
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.

INSTANTLY KILLED.
Johnny Campbell, Seven Years
Thrown From a Horse.
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.

Walla says he will not take the Mana

with big chances of dying with yellow
fever ; it . rains nine days a week, one

the position is now held by his brother-in-law,

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 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. For sale by
