A letter received from Antelope yester day gave the information that Tom Lewis had been arrested for setting fire to Phil Brogan's hay and that the preliminary examination was to be held in Antelope today.

The grand jury has returned a true bill against Thomas Denton, jr., charg ing him with setting fire to the barn of the Dalles Lumbering Co. The stable took fire about 2 a.m. on Sunday, Oct. 2oth and burned to the g ound. Six fine ho rses, a lot of hay and other valuable property were destroyed. The evidence against Denton is purely circumstantial lhe trial will be a very prominent one and warmly contested. Tomorrow evening at the Congrega uonai cnurcn occurs tne nrst lecture in the winter course. Hon. Thomas N, Strong will be the speaker and has taken for his subject: "Municipal Reform.' Mr. Strong has been one of the leaders in the reform movement in Portland and no one in tbe state is better qualified to discuss this very important question. A large number of tickets have already been sold but there are some remaining yet for sale, This course of lectures is something which The Dalles has long needed and it is hoped the citizens will give it the enthusiastic support to which it is entitled. & MAYS. An Athletic Club Organized. A meeting was held yesterday after noon by a number of young men who had been in the athletic class of Prof. Christol. ' The meeting was called to con sider the advisability of forming a club, I a prominent feature of which should be athletic exercise. After some informal disenssion tbe members present pro ceeded to a temporary organization with the following chosen as temporary of ficers. II. A. BiIIp, president; F. W. Wilson, vice president; Max A. Vogt, secretary and N. J. Sinnott, treasurer, Au opportunity was given those present to sign the roll and soon twenty-one names were recorded. The organization yesterday was purely temporary and it is the intention to meet again during the week, after more signatures have been obtained to the list of members and have a permanent organization. A constitu tion and by laws will be adopted, com mittees appointed to purchase gymnastic apparatus and attend to various other matters of detail. The club intends having a gymnasium, especially com plete in apparatus for light gymnastic?, with hot and cold shower baths- The club is being organized on a broad scale and thus far meets with general approval. The social feature will not be neglected and a reading room and place for holding meetings will be provided. It is not known what building will be selected but the members have several in view. The one that seems the most convenient is the second floor of the Grant building, at the corner of First and Washington streets. This building was damaged by tbe recent fire and is now being thor oughly renovated. An opportunity will be given to those wishing to become members of the club to do so before the next meeting. Such an organization is one which has long been needed in The Dalles and it is to be hoped success will attend the efforts of the promoters. The Chinamen Indicted. Late Saturday afterncon the grand jury returned true bills against Lee Git and Lee Ching who are accused of mur dering Lock Wa last August. This morning the defendants appeared in court and through their attorneys Hun tington & Wilson , entered demurers to the Indictment. - As the Chinamen were indicted severally, separate demurers were-filed, though they are similar in purport. The demurers are taken to indictment first because it does not state facts sufficient to constitute a crime; second that it does not conform to chap, viii of the code of Oregon in this : I, . That the act charged as the crime is not stated with such a degree of cer tainty as to enable the court to pronounce judgment upon conviction, according to the right of tbe case. II, That the act charged is not clearly and distinctly set forth in ordi nary and concise language in euch - a manner as to enable aperson of common understanding to know what is intended. An Afternoon Party. Seventeen ladies spent a pleasant after noon last Saturday at the residence of Improved Heaters MAIER & BENTON, Mr. H.S.Wilson. The rooms were prettily decorated with Oregon grape and with chrysanthemums in profusion, With historic fitness, recognizing the native state of the hospitable entertainer, a large part of the afternoon was spent in guessing, an occupation which proved so fascinating that only the tempting viands on the various lunch tables conld call a temporary halt. When the result of the guessing was summed up it was found that Mrs. Moore and Mrs. Wilson were entitled to elegant birch bark paintings for tbe most successful guess ing. To keep the rest of the guests more contented they too were awarded a birch bark picture, also a souvenir of the "Green mountain" slate. The me mentoes will be highly valued. Those who were fortunate to partake of Mrs. Wilson's hospitality werejSMrs Lewis, ' Mrs E J Collins, Mrs Phillips, Mrs C W Taylor, of Wftllula, Mrs W E Garretson, Mrs W C Curtis, Mrs W H Biggs, Mrs J B Condon,' Mrs Elizabeth Wilson, Mrs Baylev, Mrs Cooper, Mrs O C Hollister. The services at the Congregational church last evening were out of the usual order. Instead of the regular ser mon Mr. Curtis read a paper on "Some of the Early Missionaries of tho North west." which told oftheir early struggles and the great good in which their efforts resulted. The paper was very interest ing. Mr, Curtis twas followed by Mrs. Elizabeth Wilson who read an essay on the great triumverate of pioneers, Dr. John McLonghlin, James H. Wilbur and Cushing Eels. The paper contained many antedotes of these worthy men, some of tbem incidents in Mrs. Wilsou'a acquaintance with them; The speaker paid tributes to their memory and held them up as examples of what good citi zens should be. - The Merchants' Carnival which will occur Friday and Saturday of this week, promises to be a grand affair.
