The school clerk, Mr. E. Jacobsen, has completed the school census, and finds more children than ver. There is a total of 1,050 children in the district, meaning a total population of over 4,000, Owing to the snowfall the sidewalk is very slippery in places, and yesterday, while returning from dinner, Mr. 1. 1 Burget sustained a fall which rendered him dizzy for a time. He struck on his back and back of his bead. He was assisted to his feet and continued the re- , xnainder of his journey to town slowly, The annual . school meeting will be held on, Monday, the 5th day of March, at 2 o'clock p. m. . The meeting is for the purpose, of electing one director to serve for three years, one clerk to serve . for one year, and to see what' action the district will take to lease, build .or .-, ' purchase a school house - or house provi ding for additional room. The storm that visited this . section yesterday morning has been general all over ' the Pacific slope, .. north of Los .'Angeles. The Northern coast had heavy rains and snow, accompanied with high winds. Reports say the snow storm pre vailed over the entire Northwest, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, and the ' northern I part of California, not to say Oregon, - which came in for its full share. The depth did not vary materially in the eastern and western portions of the state, 'ranging from three to five, inches. At The Dalles the depth of the .fall did not exceed five inches. Today has been fine " and warm with a clearing up tendency, State op Ohio, City of Toledo,) Lucas County, t Ba" Frank J. Cheney makes oath that he ia the senior partner of the firm of F. J.

Schanno, a delegate to the Northwest Fruitgrowers . meeting ' at Spokane, returned Sunday. He says that it. is the first meeting of the kind ever held on the Pacific coast and that great interest was taken at the meeting looking to the advancement of fruit growers generally. The proceedings.of the meeting will be compiled in pamph let form by Mr. S. A. Clarke, and a copy will be mailed to each one who attended the meeting. Mr. Schanno had taken with him a display of Yellow Newtowns, which he said looked better than any apples shown. Of all fruits that take 'best in the East the Hungarian prune, properly packed, ranks among the first, but for that matter any fruit will sell that looks nice to the eye, -Oreat pains, therefore, should be taken by the growers to ship only the best fruit of its kind and packed so as to look well. The railroad company was represented at the meeting, and liberal concessions were, offered. Instead of paying $125 for the use of a car and $25 more for ice, as haB been the custom, the company will furnish their own cars free, and, in addition, will al low a reduction of 10 per cent, off on all fruit shipped east of the Cascade moun tains. This means larger profits for the growers. . Proper action will be taken at future meetings to secure better prices for fruit, Last summer some growers only realized a cent per pound, while the fruit sold retailed later in the same day for 20 cents a pound. The trouble is conceded to be the fault of the commission men who have some sort of a. combine they successfully work. ' . i- COLUMBIA COLUMN. Newsy Batch From LS-Mlle. Old Lower Columbia, Feb. 19. Special corres pondence. I date this article at Colum bia, as that is the proper name for what was Lower Fifteen Mile precinct. The weather here is wintry today, but, like the surrounding countxy, we have had all seasons during the past month, with plenty of rain, snow and mud. There has been considerable ploughing done, and farmers are looking forward to a bountiful harvest, and watching the tariff bill and trying to calculate on what the price of Wheat will be next fall. It is about time for the spring term of school to begin, and oar district, No. 16, owes many thanks to Mr. C. W. Emer son for repairing the school honse. He and his family, assisted by some of their neighbors, gave a literary entertainment some, time ago, , and carried out a very nice programme. The admission was 25 cents. The receipts were sufficient to purchase the lumber, and Mr. Emerson did the work gratuitously There was a verv nice entertainment given at the Fairfield school house a few evenings since, which won the highest praise from those' present. ' The recita tions were every one learned perfectly, and several were rendered in a dramatic style, showing talent in no small degree. Those taking part were" ; Mrs L E. Wil der, Misses Lena, Delia and Nora Hen rice, Nora Bolton, Sadie SYoung, Lida and Laura Hermans, Nellie Miller and Etta Green; Messrs T Willman. -E Henrice, 'Dio Wilder; J P Gillhausen, J Miller, Frankie, Bertie and Charlie Em erson and R Carlisle. It is hard to dis criminate, but we think Miss Etta Green in "The Last Hymn," and Master Loid Bolton, in "A Puzzled Dutchman," de serve especial mention. They are chil dren of about 12 years, but speak like professionals.. Our series of dances are about to close for the season. They have been greatly enjoyed by all participating, and every thing passed off pleasantly. . There has been but one play party in the neighborhood this winter. The parts was a surprise to Mr. and Mrs. R. I. - Young to celebrate the ninth anniver sary of their wedding. . The,sleighing party mentioned in one of your, late issues.that went to a "neigh boring farm," came out to the residence of Mr. Tony Wilhelm ; and the "various amusements" were dancing, Mr. Wil helm furnishing the music on the violin. We think it a great breach of good man ners that your reporter omitted to state whose house was . hospitably opened for their amusement; and there were several neighbors and friends of Mr. and Mrs. Wilhelm present whose names were omitted. . - Our community has lost one of its fa vorite daughters, Miss Lillian Emerson, who was married a short time ago to Mr, William Crawford, of Klickitat. She is a general favorite with old and young, and will be sadly missed. - Our best wishes go with Mr. and Mrs. Crawfordl Revival meetings have commenced at at the Fairfield school house. It is to be hoped great good may be done, as there is great need of it at present. If the Wilson bill becomes a law, people will have to live on faith. If Kenb can withstand dynamite and earthquakes he'should be sent to Wash ington to suppress the bill. Theodore Cartwright, . who has been visiting with friends at ' his Taneh,' will return to The Dalles tomorrow- Lex. He -Saw ' trie World. An Oregon young man named Lincoln Davis, a cousin of L. S. Davis of this city has just returned to his home in Silverton, after a tour of the world, last ing seven years. . A recital of hia ex perience -would be very entertaining. He' wandered throughout the old world until the state of his finances called him to a halt, in other words, until he was "dead broke." At this time he was in Judea where he enlisted in the English regiment and was sent into Central Asia, from whence alter many weary wanderings, he has at last found his way back to Oregon, the land of his birth, which he now thinks is the most lovely spot on earth. PERSONAL MENTION. ,' - . Mr. R. McNeil returned from Sprague this morning after an absence of several months, to remain permanently. ' A Prominent I.ady Arrested Much attention at atWashington ball by her remarkable appearanee of health.

It properly cures nausea, indigestion, bloating, weak back, nervous prostra tion, debility and sleeplessness. Strength is renewed, energy returns, and beauty again blooms.

The defendant was on the stand a good share of the afternoon and almost the entire evening. The attend ance upon this case was larger than on any day previous. . Hull went oyer the alleged, events of the shooting.- His 6tory is that Cummings came back' to the cabin while he was packing up' pre paratory to leaving. Cummings wanted the other saw than the one agreed upon Hull said he "couldn't have it. Cum mings said: '"What do you take me for," and jumped in at the door. . Hull held his revolver in front of him with both hands and .said: "If yon-buck against me, you've' got to buck against this".". Cummings then made the circuit of the table, hastily .grabbing a knife lying upon it, and made a rush with it at Hull. - Hull saw the gleam of the steel and fired in an instant.. Cummings fell back ' two paces and clapped his hands to his injury. He was so close to Hull as to be , powder-burned. Hull then assisted Cummings to the bed and bathed him, and was found thus em ployed by bis partner when he entered, the cabin. Hull then left the cabin for the purpose of summoning a doctor and to give himself up. . ine prosecuting attorney made a strong speech against the prisoner, dwelling on the one point, perhaps more than any other, that Hull made no mention of this knife at the preliminary examination, and did not mention to anybody any weapon which Cummings bad until several days later, when he said it was a fork. As the process of defense evolved in his mind he deter mined to say it was a knife. If the fear which prompted the shot, was a knife, that was all Hull would have seen, and would have been the first thing he would have spoken of when detailing the circumstances the knife. ,; He pictured the state of mind the defendant would be apt to be in from his self-abuse and venerial drsease, and expatiated on his pride of carrying a revolver and belt which would hold 48 cartridges in it. Attorney Dufur made a stirring ap peal on .behalf of the prisoner, dwelling on -the' point that Cummings was far from being a peacable man, and had a reputation for. violence when running on the Mississippi' river. He urged the lack of testimony to show that the shoot ing was malicious, and concluded with the Scriptural incident of the Savior's charity for the poor, oppressed and friendless. His address to the jury covered a space of about two hours and a half. . Prosecuting Attorney Wilson made his concluding argument after dinner after - which Judge Bradshaw read lengthy charge to the jury, He said that the jury could return, under the indictment, one of three verdicts either murder in the second degree, man slaughter - or. acquittal. He recited at length- the conditions which would ap ply to each. At 5 minutes to 3 -o'clock the case was given over - to the jury for their consideration. . ; . . v The experience of Geo. A. Apgar of German Valley, N. J., is well worth re- raembering. He was troubled with chronic diarrhoea and doctored for five months and was treated by. four differ ent doctors without -benefit. He then began using Chamberlain's Colic, Choi era and Diarrhoea Remedy, of which one bottle effected a complete cure. It' is for. sale by Blakeley. & Houghton, drug gists. . ' - . .
