When Ben Ullrich woke np one
morning last week and proceeded to

gone. Some sneak thief had opened the
door while he was sleeping and ab
stracted every garment he had di

The Antelopes stampeded last even
ing and took in both enda of town. In
their search for good pastures they went
clear up to the snow line. It was 2
o'clock thia morning before the last of
them lay down to chew the cud of reflc c
tion, and aa a consequence, the bright
orb of day seemed to appear over the
eastern horizon somewhat earlier than
usual, and with an unwonted dimness.
A pair of young women fought it out
in regular beastly pugilistic style near
Long Creek, in Umatilla county, last
Saturday night. They both were in
love with a farm band, and met to see
who should have the right to possess
him. They scratched and tore each
other's faces and hair and daubed them
with mud until they were a eight to be
hold. ' The farm laborer, who has some
sen 8e, now refuses to have anything to
do with either of the women.
"If the Umatilla Indians keep on at
the, present gait they are going, there
will soon be some splendid land on their

a Telegram reporter recently. "Since

rather being killed off at a rate that
practically means extermination in the

According to the Telegram of Satur
day, Warren, the successful candidate
for school director in Portland, is a
Junior Order man, an organization sup
posed to be allied with the A. P. A.
There is some color given the report by
the fact that he recently ousted School
Clerk Paquet, substituting for him a
man by the name of Allen, supposed to
be an A.' P. A. Then came Warren's
stand against Roby. The Telegram con
tinues: "The Catholics were aghast. A
quiet investigation was set on foot, and
little by little the whole horrible truth
of how Warren was played against Fin-
ley, and the Junior Order against the A.

Our citizens can make no mistake in
purchasing ticKets and attending the
concert given by Miss Gladys Mwynwen
Jones, contralto, and Miss Harriet H.
Stevens, pianiste, who will delight the
ears of music-lovers by their finished
educational ability in thia direction.
They are striving for a musical
education, and need the encouragement
that will be expressed in patronizing
their concert. It will not be many years
before we will point with pride to these
same young ladies, as having been
Oregon . and Idaho girls,, when their
remarkable native talent attains full de
velopment and they are recognized as
musicians with few peers and no super
iors throughout the world. The follow

FORMALLY OPENED.
Large Number f Citizens Were Present
at the Commercial club.
The formal opening of the Commer
cial and Athletic Club last evening was
an event which will long be remembered
by those in attendance, and their name
seemed to be lezion. Ladies and eentle-
men) young and middle-aged, fixed up
in their "best bib and tucker" and con
tributed their Bhare to the gayety of the
occasion by their presence. Like the
Olympic games, that greatest Bocial at
traction of mediaeval Rome, everyone
neglected their accustomed avocation,
threw off the cares that infest the day,
ba.de a temporary adieu to the anx
ieties, ambitions and labors of the work
day world and devoted themselves to
that enjoyment which arises from a
large number of pleasure-makers each
bent upon pleasure, and aided by all the
pleasure-giving devices that science may
produce. There i8 a prodigality of such
devices at the Commercial Club, which
was laet evening the wonder of the com
munity. , Every room was thrown open
to the invaders, and each had but to
choose which would please the most
There was the billiard room for thoi
devoted to the cue, card tables for those
who dote upon whist, the reading room
for the pensive scholar, the gymnastic
accessories of that department, foils for
the fencers, dumb-bells and clubs for the
club-swingers, rings, trapeze and bars
for the acrobat, muscle, lung and chest
developers for those leading a too
sedentary life, and a bowling alley for
everybody, and through it all, . pene
trating to the remotest corner of the
most distant room, there floated upon
the buoyant air sweetest strains of music
by The Dalles orchestra band, who gen
erously donated their services for the
evening.
The bowling alley was unquestionably
the chief source of enjoyment, and the
ladies entered into the spirit of the
sport with the same abandon aa the
gentlemen. A number of unique con
tests were projected. For instance,
ladies vs. the men, married ladies vs.
the married men, single ' ladies vs.
married ladies, young ladies vs. young
gentlemen. The last-named contest was
very exciting. The young gentlemen al
lowed the ladies 80 points of a start, and
tney never caught up; they were too
generous, or else they underestimated
the skill of their opponents.
The hours were thue pleasurably Bpent
until 11 o'clock. Invitations were quite
generally extended and accepted. Many
of the clergy were present and gave
expressions of the benefit that was pos
sible to the community by a club of
this nature. The club, after their aus
picious opening of last evening, begins
tn era of prosperity which will make
them as necessary to the welfare of the
community of which it is a larger part,
as all the other enterprises financial
which contribute to the city's prosperity
and advancement. ...
Judge. 'Benmett and Eastern Politics.
stated to a reporter that he does not ex
pect a deeision in the Skotto we case be
fore two months, though it may come at
any time. Asked about eastern politics,
he' stated that Illinois, Indiana and
Ohio, as well as Washington City, are
for free silver, and that he believes the
Democratic party will adopt that side of
the financial issue, and in speaking of
the matter left the impression in the
reporter's mind that the judge thinks
that is about right himself; ' He heard
many good speeches in congress while
in Washington City, and says that Bob
Cousins of Iowa made a national reputa
tion in a day in bis speech upon the res
olutions of censure on Bayard for his
attitude on the tariff question, as given
at an' English dinner, while across the
water.' Speaking of our own congress
men, he said he bad met Hon. W. R
Ellis, and that he had many friends in
congress. As to his abilities he said
Ellis had never tmade , any notable
speeches, but was a rare worker for
Oregon interests.
' City Council Meeting-.
The city council met last evening and
transacted the following business :
In regard to selling certain lots action
was deferred until next regular meeting.
The discussion of the electric light
question resolved itself into 'a motion
that the company be offered $8 per

The matter of frog, ponds on the hill
was brought to the attention of the coun
cil, and the marshal was instructed to
take whatever measures were necessary
to abate the nuisance.
- The marshal was also instructed to
report on the' condition of all streets
which needed immediate attention.
A full council was present with the
exception of S. S. Johns.
