THE COMPETITIVE DRILL.
While the Lose teams were getting
ready for the contest the competitive
drill was going on in the elegant new
armory. The large hall makes a splen
did drilling place, and it is very fortu
nate that it was done in time for yester
day. Company A of Wasco and Com
pany G of The Dalles were the contest
ants, and a great interest was taken
during the entire drill. Company
G was the first to drill, and went
through the evolutions in good time and
form. They set a high standard for the
Wasco boys, aad many thought that
Company A would not rise to the occa
sion, but it did. The visitors went into
the competition determined to give The
Dalles boy 8 a close rub, and when their
part was over the opinion of the audi
ence was divided as to who had won.
The judges decided that Company A was
entitled to the medal, having a percent
age of 90, while Company G had 87.
Gus Bartel of G company received the
prize for the best drilled militiaman.
The competitive drill was one of tha best
features of the day.
TUB FIREWORKS AND BICYCLE PARADE.
A large crowd gathered in the public
echool yard just before dusk to wit
ness the fireworks. The orchestra band
was present and played during the in
terval between the fireworks. The
rockets, Roman candles and different
varieties of shooting stars were sent off
from the high bluff by the old reservoir
and were easily visible from all parts of
town. The display was very satisfactory
and served to please the audience,
Through some accident a box of Roman
candles was set a fire and the whole
number went off almost together with a
very brilliant effect. Instead of marring
the program it added to it and many
thought it was part of the play.
The bicycle parade took place during
the pyrotechnic display, and was one of
the prettiest portions of the whole cele
bration. A large number of wheels,
gaily decorated with Chinese lanterns,
paraded through the streets. All of the
designs were very tasty, and some of
unusual cleverness. Tbrongh some mis
adventure there were no judges selected
to award the prizes, and consequently
the official announcement of whose was
the best cannot be made. The parade
was much appreciated by all who wit
nessed it.
TDE BALL AT ME OPERA HOUSE.
The Fourth of July exercises closed
with the grand ball of the Jackson En
gine company. The large floor was cov
ered with dancers while many spectators
occupied seats. The music was the very
finest and the floor in good conditien.
The ball lasted till 3 a. m. and with its
close ended the celebration of '95, which
can be called successful at every point.
NOTES OF THE DAT.
The judges in the hose contest were
"W. L. Bradshaw, L. E. Crowe and Thos.
Haslam. Messrs. John S. Schenck, J.
P. Mcl nerny and T. A. Ward acted as
timekeepers. Tom Driver was the
starter, as being a county official be was
supposed to know how to fire a pietol.
The Orchestra band cannot be praised
too highly for their part in the day's
celebration. . They played nearly the
whole time: in the morning in the
parade, in the afternoon at the hose con
test, in the evening at the fireworks and
afterwards for the dance. They worked
harder than almost anybody and added
vastly to the success of the day. The
celebration could not have got on very
well without them. Not only did they
play often but well and the strangers
who were in' town yesterday, can go
away feeling they had heard the best
music that could have been obtained.
. Success to the orchestra !--
It was a lamentable oversight that no
judges were, provided for the bicycle
parade. Many of the cyclers had gone
to great pains and expense to decorate
their wheels, and feel as if their work
was in vain. It was not a case of "love's
labor lost," however, for the different
designs were much admired by the spec
tators. . . Miss Edna Glenn was a pretty goddess
-. of Liberty and the little girls represent
ing the different states made a pleasing
picture. The liberty car is always the
center of interest in the parade.

ated and Second street was a sea of

Flags floated from all the flagstaff's and

In the matter of Fourth of July cele
bration or anything else The Dalles is

Mr. L. V. Moore,
The Dalles, Or. -Dear
Sir: Answering yours of the
2Gtn, enclosing clipping of article pub
lished by soma of your competitors, we
desire to say, first, that we know of no
such paper in Chicago as the Chicago
Musical News. There may be such a
publication, but it is not known to us
nor can weet any information as to its
existence. While on this subject, how
ever, we.are of the opinion that adver
tisements of this kind put in by local
dealers to. try and prevent their neigh
bors buying a good piano at a right price,
will prove a boomerang to the dealer.
We have never considered it good policy
to answer any such attacks. We have
been in the mutic business for more
than thirty years and are doing our larg
est business today where we are best
known and will stand right on our busi
ness reputation and push right forward
instead of spending any of our time in
answering m alicions attacks. It is pos
sible that the dealers in The Dalles are
public benefactors and are spending
their money advertising for the purpose
of trying to protect an ignorant and be
nighted community, but if such is the
case thev are rare specimens and should
be put in a . case and exhibited. The
probabilities are they are exercised more
on account of the fact that they are los
ing the large profits that they hoped to
make by retailing goods than tbeir de
sire to protect the innocent public. It
is one of our fixed rules in business not
to enter into controversy with our com
petitors nor say unkind things of them,
but spend our entire time in pushing
our ewn business. Your advertisement
seems to cover the ground in nice shape.
With sincere regards, we remain,
Very Respectfully,
W. W. Kimball Co.
In connection with the above, we wish
to impress upon the generous public of
The Dalles, that we came here as law
abiding, business men to offer our goods
for sale to the public. We are free-bern
American citizens, white and twenty-one
and believe the constitution guarantees
the right to all -its citizens to peaceably
pursue their business, profession or occu
pation in this grand and glorious land of
the free. It was for tfcess rights that
gome of our ancestors spilt their blood,
some of the writer's ancestors having
sacrificed their lives with others in
achieving the grand victory which we
all united in celebrating yesterday
We came here, as above stated, to sell
our goods and had no fight to make on
any one or any one's goods, as the Kim
ball is sold strictly oa its merits and not
by dealirg in personalities and ingender
ing prejudices, as everyone who has
come in contact with us and knows our
manner of dealing can testify. Bat the
local agents were not willing te attend to
their business and let us attend to ours.
They seem to have an idea that they
&wn this section of the United States
and the people who. live here. They
have wantonly, wilfully and maliciously
attacked us. They have brought this
j"war" on themselves, now let them take
their medicine. The3' deserve no quarter
from us, or sympathy from the law
abiding citizens of The Dalles. The
writer notified them before they began
that we had no fight to make on anyone,
but if they began, it would be war to the
knife, and we now say, in the language
of "SpakeBhare,"
Lay on, MacDuff,
And damned be he
Who cries enough.

The readers of this paper will ; be
pleased to learn that there is at least one
dreaded disease that science has been
able to care in all its stages, and that is
Catarrh. Hall's Cure is the only posi
tive care known to the medical frater
nity. Catarrh being a constitutional
disease, requires a constitutional treat
ment. ' Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken in
ternally, acting directly upon the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation of the
disease, and giving the patient strength
by building np the constitution; and as
sisting nature in doing its work. The
proprietors have so much faith in its
curative powers, that they offer One
Hundred Dollars for any case that it
fails to cure. Send for list of testimo
nials. Address,
