" WEDNESDAY, - - - JUNE 19, 1895 BRIEF MENTION. LTi From the notebook of Chronicle Reporters. Additional Local on Fourth Pace. ' Another lot of Sberar wool arrived to day and is being baled for shipment as speedily as possible. Workmen are busy today building a new cellar under the building occupied by Stabling & Williams. nni 1 .1 wt r will take place from the family real dence tomorrow morning at lO 'o'clock W. O'Brien, who was given six months in the penitentiary for figuring in a cutting scrape, was taken to Salem yesterday.- Three cars of sheep and two'of cattle were shipped from Grants last night to Portland. One car loaded with bogs went from The Dalles. The new water main on Fourth street bas been laid and the dirt all filled in. This will give an increased pressure to water in that locality. . Frank Williams, who was hurt in the accident at Deschutes, is reported as do ing nicety ana strong nopes are now entertained or his recovery. Charlie Nelburger made a small catch of fish last night in his nets a short dis tance below town. Some of the fish . were of good size, but they didn't num- " ber very many; Mr. Brooks was up to the messhouse yesterday and says the water is about two feet above the top of the 60-foot water guage. The river here registers at 23 feet, which shows a remarkable differ-. ence between the two places. . The Chronicle force is somewhat used up today. Three from the office were in the play last night and the preceding re hearsing caused a loss of sleep that accounts for heavy eyelids. This his trionic life isn't all attraction. Jackson. Engine company will give a fitting end to the Fourth; Arrange ments for' their ball are nearly com pleted, and it promises to be a very en joyable and successful affair. Good music and a good time are promised. The Dalles is to have some revivat ser vices. The Seventh Day Adventists bare come to town and raised a large tent on the Moody lot, on the corner of Liberty and Second streets. Seats have been provided and services will be regularly held. The people of Kingsley are going to have . a., monster . celebration on . the Fourth. An attractive pro-Am bas been prepared of literary exercises and athletics and judging from the men who compose the committee the'day will be a grand success. . The little daughter of Capt. Johnson,of the - ferryboat, died yesterday, after., a short illness. - She had only been sick a day or so' with cholera infantum and her -death' was very unexpected to "the family. Her age was about 11 years. The funeral took place this afternoon. . The Taine club had its last meeting at the residence of Mrs. Wilson. A large member of : ladies were in attendance. The topic for discussion and study was Taines' lecture on The Great English man. Macaulay and in the reading, of the history. The evening passed very pleas antly. . - The fishing season so far is not a shin ing success. .Persons who know say there are plenty of fish in the river,- but the water ie so clear that they do not run amuck the wheels, and consequently none are caught. A big rain to help the crops and muddy the river would be juBt the thing. " Mr. Emil Schanno, oar member on the state horticultural board, drove out to Tygh Valley today on bueiness connected with fruit raising. Mr. Schanno is very active in aiding fruit culture in this sec tion and his persistency ia having de cayed orchards cut down and trees sprayed, is already showing beneficial results. ..." . ;;".. 8 he riff Driver took the crazy man with the multitudinous name, to the asylum. He was examined yesterday and clearly showed himself of unsound mind. He insisted upon his right to be called by any name he chose. His dis taste for food passed away and Jailer Fitzgerald says he ate more than three ordinary men could eat yesterday. -' The warehouse of A. M. Williams & Co. is being renovated and preparations are being made to establish a hardware department, in connection with their already large spore. This enterprising firm discontinued their hardware de partment a year or so ago and their re suming now indicates a strong belief in the future of The Dalles as a fine busi ness point. The executive committee on the Fourth of July celebration held a meet i lg last night. They first met in Maier & Benton's store and then transferred the scene ot operations to John Hertz'. Messrs. Maier, Stephens, Chrisman, Herts and Jacobsen attended the meet ing and discussed informally ways and means for the . best advertising of the time we are going to have. '. The gentle men who had been canvassing the town reported excellent success and . that everyone was showing a disposition to do all they could to aid the enterprise lue committee will have another meet ing today. A Successful Repetition. It was something of an experiment onl the part of the management to have "Damon and Pythias" repeated last night; but the crowded opera houte showed the wisdom of the move. As soon as it was announced that the play i would again be given, seats began to sell rapidly,-and all the choice ones were soon disposed of. The rudience that attended last night was more demonstra tive of its appreciation than the one on the previous night, and applause was frequent and . hearty. The play ran smoothly, without a hitch or hesitancy, and many were kind enough to say that, if possible, last night's performance was more pleasing than the first. At the close of the fourth act the ap plause continued so long that Mr. Ras mus was compelled to appear before the curtain with Mr. Hampshire, with whom as "Lucullus,", he had just fin ished a scene. A beautiful bouquet was sent up from the audience and presented to Mr. Rasmus on behalf of bis friends in ine uaues. lue gentleman, in a few well-chosen words,' thanked the donor, and expressed bis thanks to the people of the city who had shown their appreciative attention. , . An accident happened to the bass viol early in the evening, which deprived the orchestra of its beautiful tones. Tbemu sic between acta was excellent, and the soft notes during the impressive parts of the acting were very prettyv especially Rubenstein's Melody in F, which was exquisitely played by Mr; Birgfeld at the piano and Mr. Burchtorf with the violin. .The Dalles is fortunate in hav ing two such pleasant attractions as the Dramatic Club and the orchestra. Move Honors For The Dalles. At the meeting of the Womans Relief Corps yesterday in Oregon City, Mrs. Myers of this city was chosen president,. This is the most important office in the gift of the Relief Corps for fhesfate, and it is needless to say the honor conferred is a great one. The Oregonian prints the following biographical sketch of Mrs Myers, which will be .interesting to pur readers though they are well acquainted with ber life: " ' "Mary 8cott Myers, who was chosen department commander of the Woman's Relief Corps, is the wife of an old sol dier, W. S. Myers, now an attorney at The Dalles.; They were married in Ver mont before the war and ' Mrs. Myers taught school while her husband was at the front four years in : the Sixth ' Ver mont infantry. After the war t'nev came to Oregon fourteen years ago and settled in The Dalles. vMrs. Myers joined J. W. Nesmith corps when it was organized and she has three times been elected president of that corps. She has been past department president, nation al aide , and delegate to the national council. , For niije years she taught in The Dalles academy.. She is a cultured woman of good exmutive . ability and is admirably fitted to be the head of this women's patriotic order. .While she is no longer young, the years hare dealt ightly with her and she is a gracious and beautiful woman, of quiet manner, intelligent, strong, tactful, thoroughly feminine and altogether a delightful per sonalty." Mrs. Mamie E. Briggs of The Dalles. wa? honored by being elected treasurer, and this city was certainly fortunate in having two of ita.prominent ladies elec ted to such important offices. ;.'

Mr. j. H. Sherar showed this office yesterday the honor of a call and . with him brought some pictures of the new road he bas just finished up the Currant creek grade. The views were taken by an Antelope photographer and shows the road from the beginning of the hill to a point two miles from the top. In one place were seen a lot of Indians blasting out a portion of the grade, while at a point farther down the hill stood Mr. Sherar's team and horses. The country on every hand was wild and rugged and the hills or mountains rather very high. It can easily be told the road is splendidly built and the grade very easy. The solid foundation of rock at almost every point promises years of usefulness for the 'construction and travel will have a tendency to im prove rather than deteriorate the road. The total cost bas been over $2500, (1000 of which Mr. Sherar has himself borne. The county court has appro priated altogether $800 at one time $500 and at another $300 and a better inveBt ment could not have been made. The business men of The Dalles raised $600 and cave it to Mr. Sherar, while con tributions were made by Antelope and other places along the line. Mr. Sherar has justly earned the title- of Wasco county's "first citizen." The Street Commissioner. To the Editor : The article in Mon day's Chronicle, regarding the street commissioner, while doubtless not in tended in anvwav nersonal to Mr. Butts, conveyed an impression which might do him an injustice. The road through Thompson's addition does not lie within the city limits, although possibly it should, and the" street commissioner is TinwerleflH to imnrnva it. The hrewerv grade does not seem to be in a bad con dition, and while it is true our sidewalks are nof in good repair, the fault lies with ' the property owners. Oar present com missioner has endeavored to do his duty and worked to the best of ' his ability to keep pur city in good repair. This morning about 7 o'clock the team of Mr. Sandoz, which was standing at the west end of Second street, took a sudden notion they wanted to go to the brewery and they went. ' The horses ' are good travellers" and they tore up Second Btreet at a lightning speed. J ust in front of Tease & Mays' store they made a carom on a telephone pole and , ahmrvil tn th other aide of the street- Nothing daunted they kept on till the- lat wv.n of them thev were hittins only.- the high1 places by the brewery. Ther ... wagon was considerably' damaged, bat .. the horses were not injured. ' Mr. San doz is getting good training for a sprinter, as this is the second time be has run a . race with his horses up the street. : The . other runaway was about two weeks. agj. Lane Bros., the blacksmiths, have an" improvement on trail brakes that takes at sight. " iu6-2wd&w Advertise in The Chronicle. JOS. T.
