Its Counterpart in Real j In The Dalles. Life FoaDd ' Nearly everybody has read the dra matical pathetic story of "East Lynne," has wept for the unfortunate, misled Lady Isabel, has inwardly cursed the treacherous, handsome, cowardly, pleasure-loving, unfaithful Levison, and has marveled at the stupidity of Archibald Carlisle, otherwise possessed of a bril liant mind." This story of fiction has found its counterpart in real life, and if one will substitute for Archibald and Isabel Carlisle of East Lynne, the names of Charles and ' Rose Brown of Boise City, and Dr. Morrison for Francis Lev ison, he will have a true story as pa thetic in its details, as consumate in the arts of a villain, and with a local appli cation to more thoroughly impress the story upon the mind. Dr. Morrison and Mrs. Rose Brown arrived on the -3 :45 train yesterday morning from Pendleton... With Mrs. Brown were two of her children a pretty little sunny-haired girl of four, small for her years, and a vivacious prattling boy of : but two " and a half years of age. On the same train also, was H. M. Bolinger, who stopped at The Dalles, and whose information was successful in having them arrested by H. Jackson, constable. Morrison registered at the Umatilla house as J. M. Morrison'and wife, Salt Lake, and were assigned room 29. ' Shortly after retiring the constable arrived, bearing a warrant against them for lewd cohabi tation. Morrison was taken to the county jail and Mrs. Brown and chil dren were taken to the European honse. Today it develops that Mr. Brown is a freighter and railroad contractor, owning a pretty home in Boise City and pos sessed of considerable means.: Two other children were left, both boys, aged 6 and 8 years. - Bolinger Is a neighbor employed by Mr. Brown to trace the fugitive con pie. - Morrison has been a "friend" of the family for about nine' months, has no known place called home, but is a wan derer. He is a man of some genius, has several medical diplomas and possesses the faculty of hypnotizing. The charge will be made against him that be has used this dangerous art for his own ends against both Mr. and Mrs. Brown. His visits to' the house were frequent, both when Mr.: Brown was absent and, at home. He did not seem to be aware of the intimacy between Mrs. Brown and Morrison, but the neighbors have been indignant for a long time, and last winter it went so far as the organization of a vigilance committee to drum the de ceiver out of town. He is likewise in bad odor at Pendleton, having , estab lished, with an uneducated man named Inman, a firm of physicians. Morrison lent his name and diplomas only, In man alone practicing on the other's sup posed accomplishments and Inman has been arrested and fined once or twice for practicing. The runaway couple left Boise City April 3d, after an absence of nine days of the husband, who had gone to Silver City on a freighting tour. He returned Saturday, the 7th, and at once took steps to apprehend the guilty couple. Mr. Bollinger, who lives next door to Brown, found them first in Pendleton and saw them take the train westward just in time to board it himself. . He is now waiting for . requisition papers . from Idaho charging the man Morrison with the crime of kidnapping. Mrs. Brown, who was seen by a re porter this morning, was found to be somewhat non-communicative. She finds no word of blame for Morrison, but has expressed a willingness to return to her home. She said to another party she believed she was nnder hypnotic in fluence, but denied it to the reporter. She is a lady of fine, appearance and shows cultivation and refinement. - The regular subscription price of the Weekly Chronicle is $1.50 and the regular price of the Weekly Obegonian is $1.50.

Use Mexican Silver Stove Polish' A Revolution In Eating has been brought about by the introduction of Cottolene, the new vegetable shortening. The discovery of this product, and the demonstration of its remarkable qualities, has attracted the widest interest. Hitherto the common shorterring has been lard, of indifferent butter. Every one has probably suffered occasional dis comfort from lard-cooked food; while it is well known that thous ands are obliged to abstain entire ly from everything of that kind. ' To such people, Cottolene is of peculiar value, widening as it does, the range of what may be eaten and enjoyed. Cottolene is a cooking marvel. It combines with the food imparts to it a tempting color, a delicate flavor, and an ' appetizing crispness. No trace of greasiness remains to offend the taste, or disturb the digestion. - Cottolene is worthy of the careful notice of all those who value good food, of itself or for its hygienic- properties. .

Editor Chbosicli: The reflex tide from the great "ex odus" of a week ago has set in, and Cascade Locks is beginning to look alive again. Nearly six hundred , men were at work here on March Slst when the river came ponring over the lower bulk head. . . ' - With fine weather in March and everything seemingly favorable, the beautiful masonry of the lift walls was rapidly rising, tier upon tier; the upper canal pit, with its busy excavation gaDga looked like a swarming hive; every, de partment was running at high pres sure then came the relentless rise of the mighty Columbia, covering all with its turgid flood and then came the "ex odus." Imagining that all work was over for the summer, the workmen made a run on the office for their pay checks, each anxious to be first at the Bull Run pipe line, and they stood not upon the order of their going. The office force worked night and day, and in an incred ibly short time the hitherto crowded Mess House was like unto "Some ban quet hall deserted." But the men knew little of that quality of reserve energy called forth by a great emergency when brainy men put their heads together for a common object. Major. Post and Lieut. Taylor the government engineers, and Mesers. Day the contractors, are not of the kind who are "put up a stump" by the first unforeseen accident. They are all anxious to complete the work as soon as possible, and as a result of their mutual wish a new dam is being thrown across the canal just above the lift wall. This will be com pleted within a few days, and will keep the waters of even the June flood out of the upper pit and allow con tinuous work not only for the excavation gangs, bnt also for the masonry of the upper guard gate. This is important because when this gate is in place the upper bulk head can be removed with out flooding the lower pit. this fall, while the walls now under water are com pie t ing. ' Messrs. Day Bros, are building this extra dam entirely at their own expense, for it was impossible . to foresee and thus provide ' for such an emergency t when the contract was made, such an early rise of the river, being unprec edented. The putting in and taking away of the "emergency dam," while expensive, will in effect be like snatch ing a victory from the very jaws of de feat, and as an earnest of energy and "get there".,on the. part of the powers that be, the people of the Columbia valley will surely appreciate it. ' When the summer flood's recede : the masonry cow under water can be com pleted and joined to that of the upper wall, with thus a total delay of only a week or two at the outside.

M. LASSIES GRABBED LADDIES. The Curious Origin of Woman's Right to Propose In Leap Year. Some one asked me 'the other day the origin of the privilege being' ac corded to women .to propose during1 leap year, Bays a writer in an English paper. : Not being" au fait with ' the subjett, I handed the question on to an energetic friend, who undertook to look the matter up and let me know the result. This is what she discov ered: It appears that in the year 1288 a statute was published by the Scotch parliament, ordaining that during' the reign of :"Her Maist Blessit Majestie Margaret" every maiden and lady of high and low estate should have lib erty to speak to the man she liked. If he refused to take her to be his wife she should have the privilege of fining him one hundred pounds, or less, ac cording to his estate, unless he could make it appear that he was betrothed to another woman, in which case he would be free to - refuse. After the death of Margaret the women of Scot land became clamorous for their priv ileges, and to appease them another act of parliament allowed them to pro pose every fourth year. The reply to the query as to why the limit Is now restricted to seven years comes not so trippingly to the tongue, but doubtless some other energetic soul can furnish the key to this little puzzle. ' . BROKE UP THE MEETING. Devout Wish- for Strawberry Time De moralizes a Church Service. The atmosphere of the vestry was characteristically frigid, and the few worshipers stopped around the stove as they came in. Among them, says the Biddeford Journal, was one man, now deceased, a well-known character in his day, who came, from the north of Ireland and had a rich brogue and sonorous voice. He was very deaf, and when he spoke it was in a tone to correspond with his defective hearing . He sat face, to the stove, and did not hear that the service had commenced, apparently .meditating on the se verity of the weather, while one of his brethren was. offering prayer in a weak, piping voice'. . One other sat be side him at the stove, and to him he suddenly remarked with all the vol ume of his voice and his rich brogue: "I shall be glad when it comes time for strawberry festivals, shan't you?" His observation drowned ' the prayer and temporarily broke up the meeting, as the most devout worshiper could but laugh at the mistake, the relation. of which comes so timely, this week of ungentle February, '94. : ". , The Khedive's favor. . - It is well to be on good terms with the khedive of Egypt.
