Leaves From the Notebook of Chronicle Reporters. Sauer kraut at W. A. Kirby's. tf Waaco Tribe of Redmen adopted three pale faces last night. The Redmen 'a masquerade promises to be the great social event of the -winter. License to wed was issued today to John T. Nealeigh and Miss Josie Rogers, both of Hood River. The city recorder fined two bibuloualy inclined gentlemen $5 each this morning, which they pungled and departed. Mr. Fague telegraphs us this morning that the weather indications for to morrow are rain or 'snow and slightly cooler. vj The Columbia Packing Co. haB com menced putting up hams, etc., and in consequence the good old-fashioned, spare-ribs are abundant. ' Circuit court is about over for the term. There are a few writs of review and sqme questions of law to be decided, but these will probably be cleared up so that court will adjourn for the term to morrow. The funeral of Patrick Farrelltook place today. Instead of allowing the body of the old man to be laid away at the expense of the county, Mr. Nicholas, proprietor of the Columbia hotel, for whom Farrell worked at times, bore the expenses of the funeral. Rusco & Swift's "Uncle Tom's Cabin troupe showed last night to a well filled house. The troupe ib a very good one and the characters were well sustained. The stage is not large enough to put the piece on properly, for as a matter of fact the play depends largely on its stage settings, and requires extra stage room. The part of little Eva was particularly well taken, and Topsy was an incorrigi ble wench, such aa was common in slave times. Col. Sinnott, who was eummone one of the grand jurors -in the Unit . States court at Portland, was selected b; Judge Bellinger as foreman of the ju That he made no mistake is evident from the way the business was begun. The Sun says that five or six indict ments were found the first day, and it is pafe to say that that grand jury with the Col. at its head will run through such a grist of work as will make the record and break all previous ones. The regular subscription price of the Weekly Chronicle is $1.50 and the regular price of the Weekly Oregonian Saturday, Dee. 8th. PEASE is $1.50. Any one subscribing for The Chronicle and paying for one year in advance can get both The Chronicle and the Weekly Oregonian for $2.00. All old. subscribers paying their sub scriptions a year in advance will be en titled to the same offer. The Savage 'Verdict. The jury in the Savage case, some what contrary to expectations, after be ing out so long, brought in a verdict last night finding defendent guilty of larceny only, and fixing the value of the stolen property at $14,000. He was indicted for larceny from an office, and had the jury found him guilty as charged, the maximum penalty for the offense would have been seven years. Ttie penalty under the verdict as given has a larger time, being ten years. There is a gen eral feeling of satisfaction with the ver dict, the public being almost unani mous in Savage's guilt. Besides, there is a leeling that the fair reputation of the city was in the hands of the jury and that it has not suffered thereby. A Too Short Evening. The friends of the Misses Lay, who were invited to spend last evening at their home, on Liberty street, are in doubt as to whether a more pleasant evening will be spent during the winter than that enjoyed on this occasion. After a number of games of whist, lunch came next in order, and then, the car pet having been coyered with canvas, dancing was indulged until the hour for departing. The following were present : Mr. and Mrs. Brigga, Dr. and Mrs. Eshelman, Mr. and Mrs. Hobson, Mr. and Mrs. Gordon, Mr. and Mrs. Peters, Mr. and Mrs. Faulkner, Mrs. French, KMisses Florence Lewis, Mary, Emma and uMinnie Lay, Dr. Sutherland, Messrs. Fowler, Porter and Riddell. It Was Kver Thug. The Fossil Journal has the following: football continues to have been ordered, of a recent issue 'The interest in grow. New balls and next week ground will be laid off and goal posts erected on the old baseball grounds. Every new athletic sport always goes by storm. Tearing up the old baseball grounds is not quite so bad as the east ern town when the baseball fever struck it. They had to have a crack pitcher and mortgaged the church building to get money to pay his salary. We havn't heard of "anything quite so bad in Ore gon yet. Perpetually Happy. Yesterday afternoon's downpour dis pelled some of the homesickness old Oregonians were afflicted with in conse quence of the protracted spell of sun shine this state has been blessed with this fall, and the streets, even during the heaviest rain, presented an animated appearance, itain nas no terrors for a Webfoot ; in fact, at this season of the year be feels uncomfortable without it and the gentle (?) shower of yesterday afternoon made everybody feel happy.

All pain banished by Dr. Miles' Pain Pills. c3 & MAYS. Decline of Polygamy in Utah. Glen Miller, in the December Forum. With the division of the Mormons on National party-lines, the renunciation of their obnoxious creed, and the inaugura tion of "the era of good feeling" in Utah, there has been a complete cessation of prosecutions for polygamy : and numbers of old-time offenders have resumed rela tions with their "plural" wives, with practical immunity from punishment. But the prop of polygamy, its social res pectability and exaltation as a religious virtue, has been taken away. These old polygamists visit their .younger wives precisely as a married man in an Eastern community might consort with a mis tress quietly and stealthily, not openly or boastfully as formerly. Their con duct is under the ban of the Church, and since it is no longer justified by a religious principle, is regarded simply as an affair of lust or of affection for former associations too strong to withstand. We find a close analogy to this condition of things in the prohibition States where, in spite of stringent laws, the old toper undergoes any. humiliation to se cure his favorite beverage. Human na ture does not differ greatly in .New York, Massachusetts, Kansas, or Utah. But, with the passing away of the present generation, the last vestige of polygamy will disappear.. No edict of the Church could restore it. An insurmountable barrier in the way of its resumption is arising in the eocial amalgamation of Gentiles and Mormons. Intermarriages between the two classes have rapidly in creased under the new conditions. With in a decade, the distinguishing character istics of Mormonism will be no stronger in Utah than the distinguishing charac teristics of Catholicism, Presbyterianism or Methodism. At the Cascade Locks. Work at the Cascades on the canal and lock a is being pushed more rapidly and successfully than ever. Between 400 and 500 men are at work constantly. Above the upper bulkhead the outer wall is now under "way ; the trench is completed; a foundation of seven feet of concrete has been laid, and on top of this several courses of stone are in place. The trench next the shore is about com pleted, and the wall will soon be under way there. The lower end-walls are also being put in good shape, and in a few weeks will be well along and in con dition to be completed quickly. An im mense derrick is being put in place for handling the gates, one of which is on the ground ready to be put together. Sections of another of the gates arrived with the past ' week. The upper bulk head will not be touched until after the next high water ; but it is believed the work will be practically completed, ex cept removing that and laying the walls to connect, by next spring, if the wea ther will permit the work to be carried on. The contract of the Days calls for the completion of the work next June ; bat this will be impossible. It is believed, thongh, that ere this . time next year boats, wilt pass through the canal.

' nov22-tf The success that has attended the use of Dr. J. H. McLean's Volcanic Oil Lin ament in the relief of pain and in curing diseases which seemed beyond the reach of medicine, has been truely remarkable. Hundreds supposed - to be crippled for life with arms and legs drawn up crook ed or distorted, their muscles withered or contracted by disease have been cured through the use of this remedy. Price 25c, 50 and $1.00 per bottle. For sale by the Snipes-Kinersly Drug Co. We have made arrangements with the San Francisco Examiner to furnish it in connection with The Chronicle.

For a pain in the side C chest there is nothing so good as a piece of flannel dampened with Chamberlain's Pain Balm and bound on over the seat of pain. It affords prompt and permanent relief and if used in time will often prevent a cold from resulting in pneumonia. This same treatment is a sure cure for lame pack.
