Jacobsen's Kfflclency.
The Oregonian of yesterday contains
the following neat advertisement of
Dalles Oity's school clerk, Mr. E.
Jacobsen :
Among the novel arguments the vari
ous school campaigns throughout the
state have brought out, none is more
unique than one furnished by The
Dalles. Within three years S80 names
have been added to the list -of those
who draw school money in The Dalles
school district. This would indicate en
Increase in the population of the district
of about 1500, but there has been no such
increase in the population, hence the
additional names added to the list
must be attributed to the efficiencv of the
clerk who made the last three enumer
ations. The per capita apportionment
oi statu and county 82hool money is
about $5 per year, so the addition of 380
names means an audition of $1,900 to
the.ecbool funds of the district. The
man who did all this, pro bono publico,
it was argued, should be vindicated at
the polls. It is gratifying to learn.
therefore, that the echool clerk" of The
Dalles district was re-elected by a hand-
gome majority.

A VICIOUS COYOTE.
He Opens Battle on Xrapper Campbell
' and Bites Him Sarerely.
W. A. Burt Campbell is a hunter and
trapper of many years' experience in
Wasco . county. Many trophies of the
chase adorn residences and business
houses of The Dalles which are from
wild animals killed by Mr. Campbell.
He invariably receives county scrip for
bounties at every session of the county
court, and prizes every fall from the fair
association. Yesterday he had a most
unusual experience, and one which has
probably never before been duplicated.
While making the rounds of his traps be
came upon one about 3 o'clock in the
afternoon which held a coyote. The ani
mal watched Mr. Campbell's approach
without fear, and indeed tugged at its
chain in the effort to reach him. When
within about fifty feet, the coyote suc
ceeded in extricating his foot, and in
stead of fleeing, made. for the trapper,
determined upon giving him battle.
Campbell was so thoroughly surprised
he stood motionless waiting its approach.
No one ever before heard of a coyote
that would attack a man under, any cir
cumstances, and Campbell supposed it
would surely turn and run before reach
ing him. But not so. The coyote soon
reached Mr. Campbell and fiercely at
tacked hiui. As it jumped for him he
threw an arm around its neck and tried
to strangle it. The animal proved too
strong for these tactics and Campbell
loosed bis hole! with one hand in order
to get a knife from bis pocket. While
doing this the coyote bit him on
the leg, throngh a pair of chap
parajos (shaps), If it had not
been for the leather garment the
wound would have ' been much more
evere. But Campbell had now got bis
knife out and quickly cloeed the battle
by plunging it repeatedly in his ribs,
and cutting his throat. He at once
came to town and bad the wound
dressed. Mr. ; Campbell will probably
save that pelt as memorable of the onlv
coyote fight ever recorded it trappers'
history. -
, "Spanish Students."
Though the house which greeted the
"Spanish Students ' last night was not
large, all who attended were well repaid
for so" doing. ' The members of the
troupe are, without exception, masters
in their role. The first number was by
the full orchestra, a very brilliant selec
tion rendered with the most facile ex
pression, the music changing at a touch
from rapid and bold to soothing or
plaintive. The first violin and cello
would make a beautiful duet in them
selves. However the addition of the
guitar and mandolin served to complete
and accentuate the melody. Jack
Myers has a very full and rich baritone
voice, and last night he was in prime
condition. D. C. Rosebrook is a leading
cornetist and his difficult solo provoked
mnc'i favorable' comment. The Taylor
sisters executed some very neat dances,
The elder sister is a very pretty sonbrette

proved himself to be a master of the
banjo, as well as the possessor of a fine
tenor voice. Altogether the "Spanish
Students" are a well-balanced company
and deserves the success it will un
doubtedly achieve. The entertainment
will be repeated tonight with an entire
Change of program. . '
Trial at Oaf or.
The town of Dafur was considerably
astir yesterday, because of a trial taking
place within its precincts. On the
night of February 15th, while some resi
dents of school district No. 20 were con
ducting the meeting of a literary society
at the Liberty school house, the build
ing receivod a sudden shock as if it were
struck by a large object from the out
side. Investigation proved this to be
the case and a large oak lying upon the
ground showed what had been used.
The directors of the district made efforts
to discover who bad done the deed and
finally complaints were sworn out
agaiuBt Frank Coculine and John
Mason, charging them with being the
perpetrators. The trial occurred yester
day and its progress caused considerable
interest, as all parties wero well known
in the community. Deputy Dist. Atty
Phelps conducted the prosecution, while
M. J. Anderson of Dufur pleaded the
cause of the defendants. At the con
clusion of the evidence and arguments,
the jury, after due deliberation, re
turned a verdict of guilty. Justice
Brigham imposed a $10 fine upon each
of the defendants, taxing them also with
the cost. "
Being a dressmaker of several years
experience, and desiring to win the con
fidence of the ladies of The Dalles, I
have decided to cut and fit for any lady
free, beginning March 16th. Every lady
has the privilege of seeing her own draft
made in the true tailor style, without
the use of chart, drafting machine or
model of any kind, thus having a
chance to decide tor herself if it is eafe
to cut the lining. Mrs. W. H. Swain.
