A crowded house will greet the Dramatic Club. Mrs. Peters lo3t a bUck, silk mit on Second street yesterday. Will the finder please leave the same at this office?

Until further notice the steamer Reg ulator will leave her wharf for the Cas cades at 8 a. m., instead of 7 as now." This will be a great convenience to travelers. ' ' Don't come late to the theatre tonight if you can possibly avoid it. It Is dis agreeable to both players and audience to have people trooping in after" the" per formance has begun. Four pars of. hogs and two. cars of cat tle from Elgin and four cars of hogs from Weiser passed through The Dalles this morning. The cattle went to Port land and the hogs to Trout dale. The Orchestra Union will render some . new and difficult selections between the acts at the theater tonight. " Among the pieces played will be the "Cavaleria Rusticana," a beautiful overture. A bill was introduced in the eenate yesterday granting Capt. John W. Lewis of this city $521 in addition to his ealary as register at The Dalles land office from April 17", 1890, to July 7th of the same .year. ; .;" "-'f ;.; ' ,;- ;.'' .k '' The Dalles is sometimes deliberate in starting upon a venture, but' when it Special Prices in connection with price of every article has been greatly Our stock is a far better assortment.- SALE once starts it does it in no half-way manner. This city is going to have the finest commercial and athletic club in the etate, outside of Portland. The rapidity with which the large Eum asked for has been raised, shows that times in The Dalles cannot be called hard. A most distressing accident happened yesterday at the Cascade Locks by which a man lost his life. A charge froiii a blast was put in, which proved heavier than was anticipated and the rocks scattered a great distance. One of them struck a man on" the head, injur ing him so badly that he died. We were unable to learn his name. The crosswalks in some places are a little improved since yesterday. Some philanthropists have used brooms to good effect. The crosswalks are far from what they should be, however, and in plain words, are a disgrace to the city. Someone has pertinently asked, "For what do we pay taxes if the common necessity of clean crossings is not pro vided? ' ' An event which will be welcomed by their many friends, will be the seventh annual ball given by the German Sing ing Society Harmony. . The members of the club will spare no pains nor money to make the affair a pleasant ' one. The full orchestra of the Orchestra Union has "been engaged for the occasion and the ball will be given at the Baldwin opera house on Saturday, Dec. 2lst. By the way the ladies of the Congre gational church and their friends are working, the bazaar to be given Fri day and Saturday evenings, will be a great event.-- Nothing has- been left un done which could add to the erjjoj-ment of those who attend. The various booths will be in "charge of young 'ladies, -who will look their prettiest and from the multitude of articles which will be dis played," everyone will find something to suit them." It' has been several years since this city" has had' a fair of the magnitude of the coming bazaar and the armory will contain a large crowd on both evenings. - - - Captain Frank Turner and wife made the trip from Portland to The Dalles on the D. P. & A. N. Co.'e steamers. Cap tain Turner is the inventer of the fam ous Turner stearing gear, which is one of the most : useful patents concerning navigation. The steamer. Dalles City is supplied with the Turner gear and, al though the Regulator, as yet, is st eared in ' the old-fashioned way, it is likely a patent gear will be put on this winter. The Turner steam and the Gates hy draulic gears are in general use upon the large Columbia river steamers and rep resent one ot the great advances in steamboatmg. Capt. and Mrs. Turner greatly enjoyed their trip to The Dalies The "smoker" given Ty the lodge of Woodmen last night was a great social success. The hall was crowded with a Urge somber of members and invited guests, who entered with great zest into the pleasures "of the evening.". . There was a' delightful' informality about the gathering, which made everyone. feel at ease. .

Some very good speeches were made by Dr. O. D. Doane, John' Michell and C. L. Phillips. The gentle men spoke of the great good which the order had done, and extolled, the protec tion' which the lodge afforded its mem bers. The guests remained till a late hour and departed after having spent a very pleasant evening. The attention of the circuit court has been occupied yesterday and today with the case of Strickland vs. Buchler. The action is one to recover personal prop erty, which bad been attached in a suit against T. J. Strickland. The constable attached the well-known racing "mare, as being the property of Mre. Strickland. Mrs. Strickland now comes in and claims the property. The case is being tried before a jury consisting of S. L. Brooks, R. F. Gibons, John Filloon, John Robin- eon, S. M. Funk, John Riggs, Charles F. Stephens, J. Wakefield, Wm. Young, J. L. Thompson and W. H. Jouee. Dufur & Menefee appear for Mr. Buchler while Story & Gates are Mrs. Strick land's attorneys. Eight witnesses were examined for the plaintiff and fourteen for the defense. The arguments were concluded this afternoon and the case has gone to the jury. The latter part ot the month will be a very busy one ; socially. Three swell dances will be given, which the elite of the town will attend. The first on the list is the bail to be given by the Gesang Verein society on Saturday .December 21st. The members oi the society are famous as entertainers, and are making great preparations for this, their seventh annual ball. Next in older follows the dance to be given by the militia in the armory. The arrangements are being made for a brilliant affair, and will take place about Christmas time. On New Year's day the Columbia Hose company will entertain their friends With a dance that promises to vie with the others in completeness. As these events come eo close together, there will undoubtedly be great rivalry, and the pleasure-loving people of the town will baye no cause to complain for lack of social festivity.

Owing' to the absence of the president, Mr. Schenck, Vice-President Pease called the meeting to order and stated that the object was to choose a name for the club. Henry Bill arose and in a few words proposed the name of The Dalles Com mercial and Athletic' Club, saying that from conversations ' held with several members this name seemed the most ac ceptible. The motion was seconded and carried unanimously. ' As this com pleted the business before the meeting a motion to adjourn was speedily carried.
