Editob Chronicle : Following are a
Sew items of news which may be of in
terest to your readers :
Last Sunday memorial services were
tield in the Christian church at Waeco,
Hev. Barnes officiating. The attendance
of old soldiers was not as large as might
have been expected, but those who were
present enjoyed the serrices greatly and
speak in high terms ot the eermon
preached by Rev. Barnes.
Memorial day will be observed in
' Mo'ro with appropriate exercises. Hon.
3, M. Irwin, state superintendent of
public instruction, will be present and
'will deliver the oration. A procession,
composed of members of the Grand
Army, the I. O. O. F., the Masons. K.
of P., order of the A. O.TJ. W., the
pupils of the pnblic schools and citizens
generally, will form at the Presbyterian
church at 10 o'clock a. m., and will
march to the grounds where the exer
cises will be rendered. Good music will
be furnished by the Moro and Michigan
'brass bands. Tbe forenoon exercises
will consist of veal and instrumental
snnsic,' recitations and short speeches,
etc. In the afternoon, at 2 o'clock, Hon.
i. M. Irwin will deliver an oration, and
as he is a cultured speaker, it is expected
that he will have a large and apprecia
tive audience. In the evening Mr.
Irwin will deliver a lecture on education,
-which will doubtless prove moat interest
ing and instructive.
I regret to say that H. F. ' Powell is
still very low, but he is receiving all the
tare and attention that loving parents
And kind friends can bestow. . . '
The lateet dispatch from Emigrant
Springs is to the effect that the resi
lience of Samuel Ornduff was burglarized
last Saturday. A quantity of clothing
was taken, but it is! thought that little,
it any, money was found. Emigrant
Springs is rapidly carving for itself a
niche in the temple of (criminal) fame.
It is but a short time ago that the house
of Allen: Gilmonr, one of Sherman
county's respected citizens, was entered
l)y a desperado ( ?), who with a revolver
pointed at Mr. Gilmour, demanded all
the spare cash there was in the house.
The next item on the program was the
burning of C. E. Jones' bouse and barn,
while Mr. Jones was away hauling wood
at Antelope. The stealing of a saddle,
belonging to T. J.lYarbrough had hardly
ceased to be food for the gossips, when a
'fresh topic was furnished by the robbery
of OrndufFs bouse. Oh! I had almost
forgotten the malicious cutting down of
Charley Hill's fence, which took place a
few weeks ago. Charlie is one of the
best fellows in the county, and whoever
wantonly destroyed his property must be
possessed of an infinitegmally small
oul small enough to go through the
-eye of a needle.
The Sunday school picnic held at
Moro last Saturday was well attended,
and an interesting programme was ren-
- dered.
The recent rains have wrought a won-
- derful change in the appearance of the
Sherman county wheat fields, and the
-farmers are correspondingly jubilant.
Wishing the Chronicle euccess under
vthe new management, I sign myself, .

paper, will be of great interest to many
peopk in The Dalies:

"Henky O. Houghton, .
"Edmund H. Bennett.",
Miss Duffy, who has been so signally
honored was a .resident of The Dalles
several years ago, and occupied the po
sition of assistant principal of oar pub
lic schools. Since her removal many
friends have beard from her, and of her,
eo that none who know her superior
mental gifts will be surprised that, she
was selected as the prise winner from
no large a number. Miss Daffy's many
friends heartily congratulate her.

senior member of the publishing firm
of Houghton Mifflin & Co., while Mr.
Bennett is dean of the Boston law school.
Xk latest From Cascade Lockf.
Mr. Bergeron of Cascade Locks visited
our office today and told of the condition
of affairs at . the government works. A
temporary bulkhead has been built over
the gates and thus far has kept out the
water, which is higher than the gates.
The contractors allowed the canal to fill
to the depth of sixteen feet in order to
lesson the presBureagainBt the gates. If
the water rises no higher this season
tnan it now is pumps will be set to work
that will soon empty the canal and allow
work to be resumed.
Mr. I. N. Day said Sunday evening
that if the river stopped rising, a large
force of men would be put to work next
week to continue through the season.
There are now between 150 and 200 men
at work including stone cutters, but with
the increased force the number will
again reach its former size. The past
year has seen much work done on the
locks and light is beginning to shine
through the darkness: A year ago at
this time great damage was threatened
to the canal by the water but now the
discomfiture is only temporary.

pain was so severe that he could not lift
anything. With all he conld do he
could not get rid of it until he applied

made three applications of it," he says,
and have since been free from all pain."
He now reccomends it to persons simi
larly afflicted. It is for sale by Blakely

Warranted Superior to any Bicycle built in the
World, Regardless of Price.
Read the following opinion of one of the most pro lnent Amer
ican dealers who has sold hundreds of these wheels:
Richmond, Va., Oct. 2, l8i
Indiana Bicycle Co., Indianapolis, Ind.:
Gbntlihbn The Waverley Scorcher and Bella
yesterday. W are afraid you have sent us the high-priced wheel
by mistake. You can't mean to tell us that this wheel retails for
186 ? We must say that it is, without exception, the prettiest wheel
we have ever seen, and, moreover, wo have faith in it, although it
weighs only 22 lbs., for of all Waverleys we have sold this year and
last and you know that is a right good numberl, we have never
had a single frame nor fork broken, either from accident or defect
and that is more than we can say of onv other wheel, however
high grade, so called, that we sell. We 'congratulate ourselves
every day that we are the Waverley agents. :
