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

The enow has about disappeared and

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

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. ,

POETRY OF SONG.
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. -

Ed Gibson Fined SSO for Assaulting;
J. Folco.
Ed. 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.

A Jury on a 8trlRe.
. 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

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
