John Hall, for many years clerk in the St. Charles hotel at Portland and re cently clerk in the Perkins, is dead, his funeral taking place yesterday. He is well known to most ot the traveling public. There were two deeds filed for record this morning, both to the same piece of property, being a part of the Jenkins donation land cluim at Hood River. There is an evident error in description. The first deed is from Emma and J. F. Stranahan to Clara A. Berry, and the second from Clara A. and J. Berry to William Lemon. Tom McCoy met with a painful ac cident Saturday. Stepping out of his back door a shingle with a protruding nail was lying in wait for him, the nail penetrating his shoe and into his foot a half inch or more. The wound was trifling but the rusty nail proved de cidedly poisonous, the result being a badly swollen foot and leg. Deschutes is coming to the front as a possible shipping point. It is said to be as near to the grain fields of Sherman county as Biggs, and over a better road. Mr. J. H. Bennett is starting a lumber and wood yard there. Mr. H. P. Isaacs, the Walla Walla millman, has ordered lumber and will build a residence, the Columbia Commercial Company have put np a platform and are -handling grain, and T. J Miller has started a feed yard. It Needed a Dentist. Mr. Garretson has the head of a dig ger squirrel that is a decided cariosity. The squirrel was killed by Mr. Fran cisco on hia ranch at Hood River. The right upper incisor is curled like a ram's horn, while the left curls inward, the point striking inside of the mouth. PEASE The right lower incisor also curves tip- ward striking the roof of the mouth, the left tooth being absent. Owing to the shape of the teeth the animal's mouth was forced open to its widest expanse, and as it was fat when killed, the query naturally arises, how did it eat, and what? Garretson suggests that owing to the peculiar corkscrew shape of one tooth, that if it had not been killed in a temperance community it might be in ferred that it was a beer drinker, its tooth being but a wonderful provision of beneficent nature to enable it to satisfy its craving, while another gentleman who examined it thou eh t it must have lived on bugs and swallowed them whole, the trituration of the bugs limbs tickling its stomach so that it laughed and grew fat. But jests aside, it is a mystery how it managed to eat, unless it bad a nursing bottle. A Wreck and a Death. The west-bound passenger this m orn ing was six hours late, owing to a small wreck a mile and a half beyond Cehlo. The wreck was caused by the mail car climbing the rails and going over the bank. There was a freight car in front of it, which kept the track all right, so it is hard to say what caused the mail car to fly the track. It went down the bank, but all the other cars remained, except the baggage car, the front trucks of which left the rails. There were four men riding on the front platform of the mail car, one of whom 'was caught un der the end of the mail car as it rolled over, and killed. The dead man and his brother had been fired from the train at Grants, but he made a sneak and got back. The body was brought in and left at the depot, and was taken charge of by the coroner. Notice to Water Consumers. The charges for patent closets when used when necessary only, is 25 cents, but when a constant stream is allowed to flow, the charge is $5 per month. In the last two years a large number of closets have been put in, and in a large number of them a constant stream is allowed to flow. The drain on the water supply has become so great that I am compelled to enforce the rules, and will hereafter charge $5 per month for all closets using a constant stream of water. Dalles City, Or., Sept. 10, 1894. I. J. Norman, Superintendent. Notice to Taxpayers.

When she had Children, she gave them Castoria, & MAYS Another Burglary. Mays & Crowe are again to the front with a burglary. This morning about 6 o'clock George Obarr, a boy of about 10 years.of age, was going down to the butcher shop, and as he passed Mays & Crowe's store saw a man standing at the front window looking in. As he came near the man walked towards him, and as he passed the window naturally he looked in too. His curiosity was re warded by seeing a man inside the store behind the counter, who dodged down and hid behind the counter. George went around to the back of the store, and there saw the same man whom he had seen in front of the building a few moments before, and also the man in side, who bad started out. He ran up to Marshal Blakeney's house and aroused him. Blakeney was soon on the ground, but the men had left, going over to the beach back of Pease A Mays'. Blake ney gave- chase, and as the burglars were loaded down with plunder, having all their pockets filled with pistols and knives, he soon overtook them. One of them proved to be an English man who was quite tractable, but the o.ther evidently an American was lull of fight. He made a pass at Blakeney and succeeded in scratching his nose, where upon he was promptly knocked down. At Stubling's corner the marshal called Charley Johnson and some others to assist him, and both burglars were soon landed in jail. On the way the obstrep erous one made considerable trouble and in the sheriffs office began another fight of which he got considerably the worst end ot the game. George Obarr for so young a boy showed remarkably good judgment, and it is through his prompt action the men were so quickly caught. IT astern Oregon Weather and Crops. The temperature was normal in the Columbia and Walla Walla valleys and cooler than the normal east and south of the Blue mountains. The precipitation was slightly excessive. Light frost oc curred on the 14th and 15th. The showers which occurred during the past week were frequent and at times heavy but no damage to grain is reported. Heading and threshing con tinued notwithstanding the frequency of the showers, though the usual progress could not be made, owing to the grain being too tough. . Grain continues to yield well up to expectations, being a full average in most sections. The price offered is the only source of contention, being the lowest in the history of the country. The potato crop will yield light. Threshing is being completed, the third crop of alfalfa is secured and other crops are rapidly maturing. The late fruit crop is being harvested. Since the rams pastures have improved wonder fully. Snow has appeared in the mount ains and frost has come ; but farmers have been quite successful and are pre pared for the winter. B. S. Pagub, Local Forecast Official in Charge. Coroner's Inquest. Coroner Butts took charge of the body of the man killed, in the wreck at Celilo this morning, and summoned the fol lowing gentlemen to serve as coroner's jury: D. S. Dafnr, Ben Wilson, Hugh Chrisman, Sam Klein and J. Doherty, who after hearing the testimony in the case, rendered a verdict as follows : "We, the jury empanelled to ascer tain the cause of the death of a certain We have just re ceived a Choice Boatload of Dry Collins Landing and White Sal mon Oak Cord Wood.

"That he had no papers or valuables on his person, except the sum of $1.65 in small change." HABBIID.

Mr. Ross is the chief clerk for the O. R. & N. here, a clever, whole-souled gentleman, whom everybody likes, and the bride is one of The Dalles' sweetest and most admirable girls. Had every friend whose good wishes follow them thrown a handful of rice after them, they could run the commissary depart ment of the Chinese war, or had it been old shoes, they would have loaded a freight train. The young couple left on the afternoon passenger for Portland and will visit the sound ere they return. May we live a hundred years before we write their obituary, and may every in dividual year be filled for them with happiness and contentment. DIED.
