Regular meeting of the city council
tonight.
Circuit court meets for the regular
February term, next Monday,

River yesterday, at noon, just 24 hours,
after the death of her brother-in-law. Ja.

Case, the . pioneer banker of
Astoria, died at his home in that city
yesterday. He was 63 years of age and
crossed the plains in 1850. Mr. 8. L.
Brooks, of this city, came across in the
same train.
As a never-failing evidence of the ap
proach of spring we wish to remark that
the abundance and tailing price of eggs
is the most certain harbinger, whatever
that is. Eggs are 20 per cent off in price
today, selling for 20 cents a dozen.
According to the ground hog, unless
ma ciock was wrong, there will be no
more winter. At noon when his hogship
is supposed to come oat and take his
' winter peep, there was a fine cloud ovr
the sun and it is presumed that this
would satisfy him concerning his
shadow.
'V The new city charter will be considered
by the council tonight, and as there will
, 1e no time in which to inform the public
through the newspapers, all those in
terested should attend the council and if
they have any objections to the amend'
ments suggested by the committee, they
will have an opportunity to make them
known, otherwise they must forever bold
their peace.
' . The Dalles Literary Society met Fri
day evening and among others things on
the program the question of the propri
-ty of taxing church property was de
bated. Mr.' Snowden, assisted by Miss
Aimee Newman, who read a fine paper
took the negative side of the proposition
PEASE
but the judges decided in favor of the
arguments brought forth by Messrs.
Phelps and Riddell. The society has
in preparation a program to be given at
a public meeting some time during this
month.
Too Suddenly Moral.
It is really astonishing how law-abid
ing the thug element of the Chinese be
come when they desire to get possession
of some poor Chinese woman. When
Gung Song married Leong Tui Satur
day it stirred the long-haired highbind
ers into action. Fearing to openly take
the woman away from her husband,
they invoked the law, to accomplish by
perjury what they feared to do by force,
and so had warrants sworn oat for the
arrest of the young couple. Accordingly
they were arrested about midnight Sat
urday, and were taken to jail, where
they were kept until nearly noon Sun
day, at which time bail was famished
and they were given their liberty.
If the inside history ot the case could
be shown, it would probably appear
that the sudden attack of virtue, which
caused the other Chinese to have them
arrested was superinduced by the desire
to become possessed of Leong Tui that
she might be used for immoral purposes.
It is to be hoped that Justice Davis may
e enabled to make the whole crowd
ihow up the true inwardness of the
affair.
In the meanwhile the young couple
need not feel afraid, for The Dalles is
not Portland, and the least crooked
work on the part of the Portland high
binders, will cause a cleaning out
amongst them that will prevent some
of them answering at the next roll-call
of their society.
"Wear a Small Bat.
The floor of the opera house being
perfectly level, at the best it is difficult
to get a good view of the stage. This
being the case, the ladies who go to see
the Tittle sisters tonight, and who wear
the smallest hats, are going to meet
with the heartiest commendation from
the gentlemen. If at the same time the
balloon sleeves could be razeed it would
prove of great advantage. Leave the
big hats at home, and give the down
trodden men a chance to see. Do it,
and win their everlasting gratitude.
The Deadlock. '
There was no change in the senatorial
situation at Salem today. Quite a nam'
ber of the members are off on committee
work, and in consequence sixteen were
paired. The vote was as follows: Dolph

Williams 9, Lord 4, Lowell 3. There re

Drifted Apart.".
The closer you "hold the mirror to j
art nature" the more perfect becomes the
of interpretation. "Drifted Apart,", is
a play that has for its fundamental basis
the finer elements of human nature so
carefully blended with the more pro
nounced phases of everyday life that it
actually becomes a moral sermon from
the stage. While dealing with society
as it is today, and introducing the vari
ous types of society and club characters,
yet the obtrusive elements being elimin
ated, the production is clean, clear cut
and abounds with the delightful little
touches of delicate light and shade that
demonstrates the genius of Thespius,
and draws the audience into perfect har
mony with the action of the play. For
tunately this play is so appropriately
constructed that it affords the three
Tittle sisters great scope to display their
histronic abilities, giving them three
distinct characterizations ; all of which
have made decided hits whenever per
formed. The action of the play occur
ring in the fashionable circles of New
York, it allows opportunity to display
the magnificent wardrobes these talent
ed ladies possess. The costumes worn
are masterpieces of the dressmakers' art
and are direct importations from the
noted Paris Modeste "Worth."
A. State Census.
.The constitution of Oregon provides
that an enumeration of the people of the
state shall be made every ten years, be
ginning with 18C5. The statutes farther

sides enumerating the people of the
state, they shall classify them by age

In fact, nothing will burn on it. Coffee
will not boil over if the pot is on the
mat; bread toasts nicely on it. Try it
and be convinced. For the nursery
there is nothing equal to heat the milk
and food for the baby. If a grate fire,
lay the mat on the open fire. If the
mat becomes soiled, do not wash or
scrape, bat turn the soiled part next to
fire, and barn until clean.
