BRIEF MENTION.
Leaves From the Notebook of Chronicle
Reporters.
Tommy, the trick horse, came up on
the Regulator last night.
The boat was quite late last night, not
leaving the locks until 4 :30.
Foor drunks yesterday and one today
is the record in the city court.
Register Moore's dog, Bismarck, is still
alive, but his owner has little hopes of
his recovery.
t Mr. J. Folco has a brand new soda
fountain with " all the latest fixtures.
Call and see it.
Quite a number of wagons and emi
grant outfits were brought up on the
Regulator last night, bound for the in
terior.
- . The finest rain of the season fell last
night, and as it was followed by warm
weather it is probable we shall have
repetition of it tonight.
- 'Concert, vignettes, etc., etc., at the
opera house tonight. If you don't go,
you won't see some things tbat you
can't laugh at because you didn't see
'em. Seel
The Durrant case 'begins to look very
hopeful for the prisoner. The Pinker
tons nave been called in and no juror
will believe a Finkerton detective under
oath or anything else. -
. The. Eugene Guard says that Friday
Mr. Frank Hampton will ship five cars
of cattle from that place to Portland,
nd thence to The Dalles by boat.
From here the cattle will be driven to
Crook county. . .
The Herrick cannery made its first
run this morning, putting up about 1500
'pounds of chinooks. Everything wi
smoothly, aDd all . that is now required
' to make the business a success is more
fish; and plenty of them." ' ;
Professor Edwards, the great horse
tamer and breaker, will give an exhibi
tion at the fair grounds tomorrow after
noon. - Wild and vicious horses will be
introduced and handled. The wonderful
trick performing horse, will also be ex
hibited. : ' ' - ' - '
Mr. E. O. Pentland of Independence,
has begun the publishing of a Sunday
paper, known as the Sunday Record.
The new feature of the venture is that he
takes the dispatches for that morning.
giving his readers the very latest news.
It ought to receive liberal patronage, for
it is a bright little paper.
Be sure and go to supper this evening
with the ladies of the First Christian
church, in the old Chronicle office.
You will have ample time to get a good
square meal, and then attend the enter
tainment at the opera house. Don't
forget to come and after the entertain
ment come back with your best girl and
treat her to ice cream and cake.
By invitation of the Literary society
Dr. Doaue will repeat the lecture , re
cently delivered by him at the Willam
ette University medical commencement.
The lecture will take place Friday even
ing at 8 o'clock, in the Congregational
church. Everyone is cordially invited to
attend. Special music will be on the
program. ' No admisbion will be charged
nor collection taken.
The Sunday fishing proposition is re
ceiving considerable attention just now
on account of Washington having abol
ished the law prohibiting fishing on
Sundays. The law is still in force in
Oregon, and as both states have juris
diction over the river, there is quite a
clash of authority. Of course, it does
not seem proper tbat a man should be
allowed to catch fish on one side of the
river and not on the other on any par
ticular day, but under the existing cir
cumstances this is what is being done.
Some of the Oregon fishermen will
make a test case ot it. We understand
that Attorney General Idleman is pre
paring an opinion- on the matter . for
the guidance of Fish Commissioner Mc-
Guire.
Mr. Kelley's Koarlns; Wells.
Mr. H. Kelley of Juniper Flat made
us a visit this morning and gave us a
monthly record of the action of his two
wells, which we are restrained from
printing on ' account of its length.
There are two bored wells on Mr. Kel
ley's place, each six inches in diameter,
one 62 feet deep and the other 110. The
peculiarity of the wells is that they are
what is known as breathing wellB, hav
ing a current; of air flowing out of them
for a time, and then being drawn back.
The air is of the uniform temperature of
52 degrees. Mr. Kelley says tbat they
record the passing of storms hundreds of
miles away by the velocity of the wind
coming from them, which at. time causes
regular roar. The big storm at Seattle
aat winter was noted by them with
a louder roaring than ever before. Mr
Kelley says the wells are quiet some
times for an hour or two, but generally
are in operation. He is of the opinion
that the air in them is affected by the
tideB, but his figures showing that the
air sometimes comes in the same direc
tion for several days, will not bear out
the statement. ,

O. K. T. CONCERT.
A Treat la
8tore for
Music.
Lovers of Good
For several days, past the Portland
papers have had considerable to say
about the "O. K. T' concert company,
and mentioned in connection 'with the
troupe names so well known to lovers of
music that it excited no small amount
of curiosity as to the object of the com
bination. While the O. K. T. people
are a "patent medicine troupe." in point
pf fact, that definition will hardly apply
to such men as N. E. Skinner, who in
addition to possessing one of the best
trained and clearest tenor voices in this
country, has taken leading parts in the
famous Adeline Patti company ; or to
Messrs. Alexander and Bowman, who
were largely instrumental in giving
fame and popularity to the Multorpor
quartette of Portland. Will C. Ayls-
worth, the second tenor, is also much
above the average concert singer, while
those beet qualified to judge, accord E.
B. Freeman first place in the ranss of
performers on stringed instruments.
Another member of the company is Bert
Van Cleve, who is such a favorite in
this valley, that it would be a waste of
breath or ink, rather to say anything
of his comic songs and flashes of wit.
The object of the company in giving
these entertainments is to advertise
Oregon Kidney Tea, but there is no tire
some harangues upon the subject, no
goods are sold is. the , hall, and it is an
advertisement and not an auction sale.
You are given a $1 entertainment free,
not forced to listen to some loud voiced
fakir sell "fake" medicines. The mem
bers of the troup are gentlemen of the
highest standing in the social circles of
Portland and the fact that Mr. Skinner
is manager is sufficient guarantee of the
concert being , in every, respect up to a
high standard of excellence and pro
priety. . . . '
O. K. T. concert company will open at
the opera house tomorrow night, admis
sioB, free, free. ' : ' - .

The Currant Creek Road.
Last week Mr. J. H. Sherar invited
several citizens of this place out to see
the work he had already done on the
new Currant creek road, a few miles
southeast of here. None could get away
at the time but Messrs. N. W. Wallace
and W. D. Jones, who were out all day
Thursday, and have the following report
to make :
They say it would surprise anyone to
see the amount of work Mr. Sherar has
done on the road with the limited funds
and in such a short time. It is a very
rough, mountainous country out there,
but the road has been laid out so well
that, when completed, a team could
easily trot up the grade at any place,
there not being a steep place in the
whole road.- The sixteen Indians who
are employed are all well experienced
road workers, and one of them could do
as much at his kind of work as could two
or three inexperienced men. The road,
so far as it has been built, is actually the
best highway in this part of the country,
and if the county court will at once ap
propriate $500 with which to complete
the balance of the road, in less than two
weeks there will be no obstruction be
tween the upper country and The Dalles
the best local wool market on the
coast. Heppner is working hard to get a
road threugb to the Mitchell country,
and if successful it will induce about
the travel to go that way instead of to
The Dalles, that is unless this new Cur
rant creek road is completed at once.
Those who will be benefited most by the
new road will be the business men of
The Dalles, and it is their duty to insist
on tne county court appropriating tne
requisite amount of money with which
to complete this road. . If this is not
done, all the bard . work already per
formed will be entirely lost. We believe
the county court will do what is right in
the matter. Antelope Herald.

xesteraay atternoon at, Umatilla a
man named Jack Welch held up an old
crippled barber, and robbed him of
$87.75. A telegram was sent here to jthe
marshal describing him and asking that
he be arrested, and stating tbat he was
coming down blind-baggage. - Conductor
Fowler, whose train he was supposed to
be on, also had his description and find
ing the man on the platform, instead, of
firing him asked him inside, and kept a
watch, on him. Arriving here he turned
him over, to Nightwatehman Connelly ,t
who at once searched him. He was
about to despair of finding anything, but
on taking off his shoes 87 of the money
in bills, and some receipts to the man
he held up were found in one of them.
He is at preeent confined in the city
jail, but Sheriff Hauser, of Umatilla
county, will be down after him tonight,
and there is no doubt but that he will
go over the road. . .
