Be did not want to get a Jag, But with a jolly swagger, He went out to attend a "stag," And came back with a stagger. The sleigh is at Kingsley. Train a are again running on time. The people's party will hold a meeting at the court house Boon. The enow has about disappeared and the new growth of grass is vigorous. Eight hundred are being fed at Port land in the Salvation Army soup kitchen. Pendleton amateurs cleaned up $60 for charity by playing "Ten Nights in a Bar Koom." A new safe baa been received and will be put in at the Western Union tele graph office today. The dances at Chrysanthemum hall will be held three times a week, instead of twice, as formerly. Mr. A. J. Anderson was elected a del egate to attend the Spokane convention by The Dalles horticulturists on Sat urday. Apples are now commanding a good price in Eastern markets. Wasco county ought to bave at least 100 car loads to ship at this time. On account of the bad weather a great number of workmen have been laid off at the locks, and if it continues it is pos sible the entire force will have to take a vacation. H. F. Downer writes to the Condon Globe that the unknown man who was drowned in the John Day in December was Tom Higgins, who worked for him about six months. He was considered partially demented. Some of our Chinese residents will re fuse to register for reasons peculiarly their own. Sim Coon tells us in the strictest confidence that he wants to go home anyhow, and that deportation has no terror for him. Grant County News. The Union Pacific has made another cut on wages amounting to about 10 per cent, reduction, and affects the employes of every department. Even the operat ors are remembered. The company has taken every precaution possible against a strike. The janitor of The Dalles public schools is an industrious officer. He saws all the wood himself used by the schools, keeps the grounds in tiptop Bhape, and has recently finished a big job of painting and papering that would do credit to an artisan. It costs in salaries about $7,300 a year to run the public schools of The Dalles. The teacher3 get pay for nine months in the year as follows, per month : Princi pal $150 ; assistant principal $70 ; two teachers $35 each ; and seven teachers $50 each. The salary of the school clerk amounts to about $300 yearly, which brings the sum up to $7,320. Home Needed for Wayward Girls. President Ira Powers and Superin tendent Gardner, of the Boys' and Aid Society, are daily in receipt of com munication about young girls who have shaken off their parents' control and are in danger of going to moral destruction. These letters come from all parts of the state, and in almost every instance the girl complained of is under 14 years of age. They show that a reform school for girls is a crying need, and' they should impel the proper 'authorities to do their utmost to have the building near the boys' reform school ready to receive female children as soon as possi ble.. At present nothing can be done to turn these wayward girls into the right path. Oregonian. , Guaranteed Cure.

The Sacred Concert Sunday Evening a Bate Treat. -The sacred concert given last evening by the Congregational choir, was one of the finest musical treats ever given in The Dalles. The choice talent of the city lent their efforts to making the occa sion a notable one and their success was, well merited. The church was crowded from -pulpit to vestry and many were obliged to stand even though the aisles were filled' with chairs. '. AH who were present went away with their souls full of music and expressed praise for the entertainment. The choir consisted of Mrs. Huntington, Miss Sampson, so pranos ; Mrs. Barrett, Mrs. Collins, and Miss Schmidt, altos ; C. J. Crandall, Balfe Johnson and Vine Phelps, tenors ; Drs. Doane and Botkin, ; bassos, -'Mrs. Patterson, organist. To Mr. Crandall belongs a great deal of credit, for his efforts as director contributed in a meac ore to the splendid way in which the choruees were rendered. In a program when all is perfect it is hard to mark distinctions and we are chary iri saying what was the : more pleasing. Of the choruses the one entitled "Pray for the Peace 6f Jerusalem" ' probably pleased the audience greater than any of the others. Each voice was plainly heard while they sung in perfect unison. " -The trio by Mrs. Huntington, Dr. Doane and Balfe Johnson gave great satisfaction as these favorite singers always do. - Mrs. Huntington and Mrs. Collins sang beautifully a duet called "Still with Thee." Their two voices of marked in dividuality blended together remarka bly. Miss Sampson, Dr. Botkin and Vine Phelps sang a trio in a pleasant manner. These vocalists are somewhat new to a Dalles audience but their abil ity is unquestioned. The rest of the program was very meritorious. Mr. Curtis preached' a short sermon, that was unquestionably eloquent. His text was "Making Melody in our Hearts." His words flowed in well rounded sen tence, in perfect cadence, and as the thoughts were lofty and the imagination high, the effect was that of a poem read by one whose sympathies with art and music are deep. All those present are grateful to the choir and Mr. Curtis for giving them an inspiring and uplifting evening. - Victor Xewi Notes. Victor, Jan. 27, 1894.

Gibson was fined $50 for assault and battery today, and will languish in the county jail until the amount of the fine is consumed. Last evening about 7 o'clock he en tered Folco's confectionery store, with a rock in his hand, No. 1 grade, crusher, (about the size of a cocoanut) and threat ened to throw it at Folco. That gentle man reached for his pistol and said he would shoot Gibson if he threw the rock. Gibson then threw ' it, striking Mr. Folco under -the - arm, a glancing blow which fortunately made only a bruise. Folco then discharged the pis tol, purposely missing him. Gibson then fled and was arrested immediately by a city officer standing at Skibbe's corner. The only reason given Folco for the act was that he insulted Gibson's wife by forbidding her to come into the store. Gibson pleaded guilty. There is no doubt that he is slightly nora com pos mentis.

BOB LOST HIS GEESE. How an Alligator Occupied His Spare Time During; the Summer. Six or eight years ago Bob Vorus started a goose farm on his mill pond. He knew the value of feathers, and thought the people would appreciate the opportunity of obtaining- them near home for making pillows and beds. His big mill pond was such a fine place ior them to swim and live and raise in. So he got up five or six hundred pairs of geese, and put them oh his pond. They were in their clory, and the water was dotted from morning till night as they gracefully glided .along over the placid expanse of the pond. Their nests were built in the rushes along its sides, and their melodious voices reverberated along its banks from erd to end. But they did not in crease according to Bob s notion their numbers were diminishing perceptibly. A dead one could be seen occasionally drifting along the edge of the border ing rushes. At first Bob thought it might be minks, otters, skunks, 'pos sums, or what not that were destroy ing them, but soon found out that it was alligators, for he actually saw one day one of the ugly reptiles catch a goose and pull it under the water. Partly-eaten geesewould sometimes be found. In the course of a few months Bob had the same big pond of water, but not a single goose. 1 Bob hates an alligator, and he and his ten boys have been occupying the dull . summer months in killing them. They bring into town two or three every week for the "children to get frightened at. The other day they brought up the biggest one yet. It measured nine feet .and a half in length and weighed somewhat under four hundred pounds. It was forty seven years -old by the rings on its tail. It had already begun to stow away pine knots for the winter's supply. Itscap petite seemed not to be confined to geese and light wood knots, for an au topsy discovered in its capacious cold storage reservoir a pair of brogans and a pipe.

The most remarkable case in Texas legal " history was tried recently at Oakland before Justice English Mrs. Ella Halloway vs. J. II. Van Alstyne, says a Houston correspondent of the St. Loui3 Globe-Democrat. The case consumed the day and was given to the jury at night. Before retiring the jury demanded that each man be paid his fifty-cent fee. The justice de murred and ordered them to bring a verdict or they would get no fee. - The jury retired and in fifteen minutes en tered court. They had a sealed verdict. Before turning it over to the justice the jury struck for their hard-earned fees. Under protest the justice gave each juror fifty cents. He opened the verdict, which read: "The jury cannot agree." This enraged the court. He demanded the fifty cents each juror had been paid. The jury refused and the court ordered them locked up until a verdict was given pro or con. After being out another hour the jury reported that they were still unable to agree. Judge English then demanded " the return of the fees. The jurors refused to sur render and a fine of two dollars and fifty cents each was assessed and then incarceration ordered. A compromise was finally reached by four of the jury returning the fws nd tlipntiio t, paying the fine of two dollars and fifty cents, inc nigner - courts will be in flicted with the case. . Demonstration Mot Necessary. . If a train moving at ' the speed of twenty-five miles an hour were sud denly stopped, the passengers would experience a shock equal to that of falling from a second-floor window; at thirty 'miles an hour they might as well fall from a height of three pairs of stairs: and n n Avnrpsa miii in point of fact, make them fall from a r ii . luurta story. The persistent cough which - usually follows an attack of the grip can be per manently cured by taking Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Mr. W; A. McGuire, of McKay, Ohio, says : "La Grippe"" left me with a severe cough. After using sev eral different medicines without relief, I tried Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, which effected a permanent cure. I have also found it to be without an equal for children when troubled with colds or croup. Fifty-cent bottles for sale by Blakely & Houghton, druggists. WOOD! wood: WOOD!
