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

Stewart recite credit him with much
elocutionary ability. The carnival will
be held in tbe Armory hall, which will
be decorated for the occasion. Those
who wish to see something good should
not fail to attend the carnival.
