Leaves From the Motenook of Clironlcle Reporters. Rain, with stationary temperature, is promised for tomorrow. The Home Dramatic Club havo re ceived a proposal to repeat the perform ance of "A Night Off" in Goldendale. Julius Wile' is having a tussle with a tootiiacho of the most diabolical sort. Just at present the toothache has the best of it. Just received at the Wasco Warehouse a carload of "Byers Best" Pendleton flour. This flour has no superior on the Pacific coaet. Try it. d7-tf Now that the performance of the Dramatic Club ia over, the people are invited to attend the bazaar next Friday and Saturday evenings at the armory. The Epworth League will hold a reg ular business meeting tomorrow (Friday) evening in the lecture room of the M. E. church at 7 :30 o'clock. Members are requested to be present. The condition of Mr. Balch, who is reported tick at Dufur, is no better, and Dr. Logan was sent for in haste this morning to attend him. His friends are anxious lest his recovery is not certain. The Dalles Council, No. 19, Junior Order of United American Mechanics, extend an invitation to all Americans and their families to meet with them at the K. of P. hall tonight, at 7:30 o'clock. At the close of the performance at the Baldwin last night the members of the group had their photographs taken by flashlight. Mr. Herrin did the work, and the actors and actresses looked their best. Sheriff Driver returned from Salem laet night and today went back with Tom Lewis, who goes to serve a three vears' sentence in the penitentiary for bay burning. R. A. McDonald was also taken to Salem. For the first time in a long while the county jail is empty. The prisoners have been taken to the penitentiary-or dis charged, till now the doors are unlocked. Jailer FitzGerald's responsibility will be greatly lessened. - - - The case of Mamie Strickland vs. August Buchler went to the jury yester day afternoon and after a short delibera tion, a verdict was returned in layor of the defendant. The caee.was warmly contested and the jury an exceptionally good one. ... ,.J - - v - The friends in The Dalles of Herman Heppner will be sorry iq learn . that be is quite sick at bis home, in Portland. He had an attack of typhoid fever some time since, from which he has not fully recovered. . Mr. Heppner for many years lived in The Dalles and has many friends who will hope for his speedy recovery. The approach to the new Regulator warehouse is being ompleted, and when this job is done the undertaking will be finiehed. The building of the warehouse has caused the distribution of a great deal of - mor.ey in The Dalles and added much to the commercial ap pearance of the city. .... William Rasaius, who was in The Dalles last Enmmer, and with local as sistance, gave a performance of Damon and Pythias, is now in Portland, where he is encaged in the same work. It is possible he may return to The Dalles during the winter and interest the peo ple again in theatrical matters. ' We are pleased to note a strong move ment calculated to make The -Dalles a manufacturing center. With electric power close at hand, and a country back of it surpassing that of Minneapolis. The Dalles possesses advantages over any other point in the Pacific Northwest for : manufacturing industries. Moro Observer. R. A. McDonald, who plead guilty to the charge of assault with a dangerous weapon, was sentenced by Judge Brad shaw to one year in the penitentiary. McDonald is the man who figured in-the shooting Ecrape last summer in which James Hagin was wounded. McDonald got off much lighter than he probably expected. He was taken to Salem this afternoon. . There is one thing to be said in his favor, he saved the county from an. expensive trial and made his conviction sore. . :, . Mr. J. B Crossen has disposed of nis grocery store to Mr. Cahler of Hardman, Morrow county, who has chosen The Dalles as tho best place for investment There has been quite an immigration from Morrow county to The Dalles, as Mr. Cahler makes the third gentleman who has come to this place from that county and engaged in businees in The Dalles. The others aro W. A. Johnson, w.ho bought out H. H. Campbell's gro cery store and B. A. .Hunsaker, who is the successor to H. Moses. & Co. It is rather a peculiar thing that they should all enter the grocery business. The members of St. Vincent eociety wisn to ttiank tnose who assisted in making the performance last evenkig the success it was, and they feel especi ally indebted to Manager Birgfeld and the Orchestra Union for furnishing the hall and music free of charge; also they wish to thank for courtesies extended Blakeley & Houghton, A. M. Williams & Co., Thb Chronicle, Times-Mountaineer, the. doorkeepers, E. Jacobsen and Max Vogt, and the ushers, N. H. Gates, Ehren Korten and Fred Weigle. Their gratitude to the Home Dramatic Club has already been expressed. 'A NIGHT OFF." The Baldwin Crowded to Witness tbe Flay Given by th Dramatic Club A Decided Success. Piles of peoples have piles, , but. De- Witt's Witch. Hazel Salve will care them When promptly, applied it cures scalds burns,, .without the Slightest pain Snipes- Kinersly Drug Co. A more appreciative audience never assembled in The Dalles than the one which greeted the Home Dramatic Club at the Baldwin last evening, When the curtain rose it showed every reserved 6eat occupied with the best people the town could lurnisb. All the good things that havo been said of the Dramatic Club were justified by their perform ance on this occasion. The play was full of interest from begiuning to end, nor at any time was it dull or insipid. "A Night Off" is one of those comedies that make you laugh 111 spite of your self, and the members of the cast carried it out with a zest and enthusiasm that soon became catching in the audience. From the verv first the spectators caught on" to use a slang expres sion and watched the unfolding of the plot with close attention, giving em phasis to the good points by hearty ap plause. The cast contained some ladies and gentleman that had appeared be fore in dramatic performance, and their appearance laet evening was greeted by applause from those who appreciated their acting Mr. R. H. Lonsdale took the part of "Professor Babbitt," the well meaning, but blundering, husband, whose pench ant for dramatic writing caused him endless trouble. This gentleman needs no words of praise to tell him of the suc cess he achieved last . evening, as the hearty applause he received and the congratulatiens of his friends showed plainly this fact. The part he took was a bard one, but he carried it cut to the entire satisfaction of all who heard him. To Mr. Lonsdale as stage manager and his , direction of the rehearsing is due great credit for the success of the play. Mr. N. J. Sinnott scored a great sue cess as "Marcus Brutus Snapp," the tragedian. Mr. Sinnott's make-up was stunning, and he acted his difficult part in a manner that would have done credit to one high in the ranks of professional actors. It is by far the best character ho has essayed before a Dalles audience and he demonstrated last evening that he is possessed of real hietrionic talent. The young gentleman was compelled to respond to a curtain call at the close of the third act. Mr. John' Hampshire, who never does anything nnlees he does it well, was one of the star performers of the evening. He impersonated the fortunate lover with an ease and grace that won the young lady's heart and the approval of the audience. During the second act Mr. Hampshire sang a eolo, for which he received hearty applause that continued till he responded with an encore. Last night, as in every, performance in which he is, Mr. Hampshire contributed, in very large measure, to the success that resulted. Mr. Roger Sinnott made a cap ital "Dr. Damask," the son-in-law of tbe professor, who had the same faculty for getting into scrapes, but better lack ot getting oat of them. Mr. Sinnott is fairs and brought much credit to him self by the force of his acting. Mr3. G. C. Blakeley took the part of Mrs. Babbitt," the wile of the pro fessor, and her acting was of a kind re quiring the highest praise. In the scenes with the professor she showed much dramatic power and sustained the character from first to last in an admir able manner. .- ! Tho "Nisbe" of Miss Rose Michell was par. excellence, mis young iaay nas ppeared in other dramatic perform ances and always in the front rank of the best. Last night she was perfectly at ease and capable of showing the proper feeling and reserve. Whenever Miss Michell appears in public she is greeted with deserved applause. ; Miss Myrtle Michell was fully up to the high standard set by the others in the cast, and as "Angelica," the forgiving wife of "Dr. Damask," she won new aurels. Her acting was perfectly nat ural, while she said her lines in a man ner that showed good elocutionary powers. Mies Michell favored the audi ence with one of her sweet solos, which received a hearty encore. -. . Mrs A. N. Varney took the part of Suean," the sympathizing servant, and acted it in a vivacious manner. As one of tbe newest members, Mrs. Var nev gives promise of being a valuable acquisition to the club. The music of tho Orchestra Union cannot be passed without mention. The selections were highly appreciated, especially the overture ,!Cavaleria Rus ticana," which was received with rap turous applause. Tho orchestra kindly furnished their services free of charge, and their kindness is much appreciated by the society of St. Vincent. The net receipts will be quite large, as $104 were taken in for the sale of eeats. Your Found Not Guilty. Shows your taste and betrays character.
