A telegram has just been received from Chairman Hircch, of the state cen tral committee, saying Mr. Ellis was 243 ahead so far as heard from.

This will be the last appearance of these figures in The Chkoniclk. and should be preserved for future reference, a .very remarkaoie rose was ex hibited by-Mrs. Marden at the display! yesterday. : It was of . the variety viscountess falkf tone and measured seven inches in ' diameter. It would easily draw first prize at the Portland floral exhibition. The Good Templars will give a leap year social in the K of P. hall this even ing, to which all are invited. The gen tlemen are expected to bring the lunches with one of their jnvenile pictures therein, while the ladies will have the pleasure of purchasing them. The fine music furnished by the o cbestra, under the leadership of Prof. Birgfeld, has been not the least source of pleasure to those who have attended the Nobles plays at the opera bouse. The orchestra has a full complement of instruments and plays with rare good taste. The members of Mount Hood -CamA No. 59, are requested to meet at Fra ternlty hall on Sunday, June 7, 1896, at 1 p. m. sharp to assist in the unveiling ceremonies of our esteemed neighbor, Thos. N.

Williams & Co., when he suggested to Manager Williams that they step out and get a cigar. Acting on the impulse, they .walked over to Geo. Ruch's gro cery and called for his best cigar. Mr. Ruch at once set out a box of the Regu lator brand, madu in this city by O. A. Peterson. The cigars were lighted and they were returning to Mr. Williams' store, when the drummer remarked .'That is tbe best cigar I have smoked for a lone time, I will have to lay in a supply of them." He at once returned to Mr. Ruch's and bought a box for his own use, and was somewhat surprised on being informed that they were made here in town. Many of our people seem to think that because a cigar is made at home it can not be of as good quality as if it were shipoed in from abroad. The inconsist ency of this notion becomes apparent when you stop to consider that it is just as easy to ship in fine leaf tobacco as it is to ship in fine cigars, and considera bly cheaper, for the freight is less. This Boston traveller, who has a chance to. sample all kinds of cigars and who had no foolish prejudice to bias his de cision, at once pronounced the Regula tor to be an exceptionally fine cigar. Children's Day at tbe Christian Church. Sunday, June 7th, at 8 p. m'., Chil dren's Day exercises for foreign mit sions, will be observed at the Christian church. This has come to be a great day in tbe Sunday echools of, this re ligious bodv. Thei observance of tbe day began in 1881, when the schools gave only $754. Last year ibey gave about $27,C00. Since 1881 they have given about $200,000. The Sunday echools are planning to raise $50,000 Sunday, June 7th. The Christian church . has $8,500 Sunday schools in this country, and an effort is being made to enlist every one in the observance of Children's Day, tbe first Sunday in June. We have agsur- nce that the audience will be large in his place and that the exercises, will be f unusual interest, and an enthusiastic ime is expected. Fur the Third Term. Will; 5 A Compliment From Boston. H. M. Drew, a traveling . salesman for the mercantile - bouBe of the Win. F. Mayo & Co. of .Boston, was in tbe city recently taking an order from A. M. Representative W. R. Ellis is a native of Indiana, having been born in Mont gomery county, April 23,1850. He is a farmer's son, his father having died when Ellis was 18 months old. He entered the Iowa agricultural college when he was 21 years old, and grad uated from the state university in 1874. During his residence in Iowa be made his home in Hamhnrg, where be was honored with several municipal offices, including that of mayor. He came to lOregon and settled in Heppner, Morrow county. Here he engaged in the prac- 'tice of bis profession as lawyer. In 1885 he was appointed prosecuting' attorney of the Seventh judicial district by Gov ernor Moody, and in 1886 he was elected to the same office. In 1888' be was re elected to. this important 'office by a large majority. In 1892 ; tjeVwai norni nated and elected to congress from the Second - Oregon district. He was re elected in 1894. ELLIS A SAFE WINNER. He Will Again Be Congressman From the Second Dlktrlct. W. R. Ellis has emerged from the clouds of uncertaintv and it is now certain that he will again be congressman from Oregon for the seeond district. His re election has been made sure by the re turns from Grant, Malheur and Union counties. Tbe vote, which is sufficient ly complete to prevent the result from being changed by .the few counties in which scattering precincts have not been heard from-, is: Ellis,- 12,212; Quinn, 11,581. . ..." . In tbe first district a few. votes either way will decide whether Tongue or Van derburg will go. to Washington. The correction of errors discovered in the count has so changed the totals that Vunderburg is now only 38 votes ahead, the returns so far being : ' Vanderburg, 19,156; Tongue, 19,113. These figures, however, do not include' Curry county, where Tongue is reported to have a ma jority of 105 votes, which would change Vanderburg's plurality of 143 to 33, or wipe it out altogether, in case the - ma jority in Curry should not turn out to be a plurality. . . Tongue's principal gains have been made in Lane and Linn, and Vander burg has lost in Clackamas. The Kose Display. Those whose expectations were raised to the highest, when they received in ri tations to Mrs. Marden's rose display, found them fully realized yesterday after noon, for there and then took place one of the prettiest, brightest, happiest par ties ever given in our city. The decora tions were wonderfully ., beautiful, and were composed of thousands of roses.. Every door and window was outlined with that matchless flower, while long streamers were suspended from tbe center to the corners of the ceilings. The ball was festooned entirely with red roses, the two parlors in cream and La France roses respectively, while the dining room was decorated solely with magnificent yellow beauties. There were 145 varieties of roses used. - The form ot entertainment which was most novel and interesting, was an original idea of the hostess. Each guest was furnished with a score card and pencil and a name of some one thing, which -one after the other drew on a large portfolio, banging on the wall. Peals of laughter would greet each effort, and the guesses went all the way from '.'General Grant's tomb," to "a night mare," on tbe same picture. - .While a most dainty luncheon was being served, the score ' cards were counted and it was found that Mrs. Her bert bad gained the highest honors, and Mrs. Lord was the one to " be consoled ; bat it turned out that she was truly en vied, for she carried home an armful of magnificent roses;'" " v c Among the invited guests ' were' Mes--dames Lord, Thornbciy; Curtis, Jlyers; Poflnell, M: ; DbnpeH; Cbniloni1: J.

A larger audi ence was present then at either bight previous. "The Phoenix" loses none of its interest with the advance - of years. It introduces a variety of American characters in the world of urban life which are- frequently met. The same sparklingffun pervades this play as all the others, and does not. differ materially in style. The readiness of the New York Bohemian to adapt himself to cir cumstances is very naturally drawn by Nobles in his character ' of "Carroll Graves." The play throughout is full of spirited dialogue, and several thrilling tableaus are introduced. Though the company drew poor houses while in The Dalles, owing to other attractions, they were fully appreciated and will meet with a warm welcome should they ever revisit our city. Fine Shoes Made by Hand. Mr. Fred Helfrich, late of Seattle, has been induced to . locate in this city through the iufluence of The Dalles Con cert Band who have promised him their support in consideration of his becoming a member of that organization to which he is a valuable acquisition. This gen tleman is a shoemaker of exceptional ability and makes a specialty of making fine shoes by hand as well as repairing of all kind. His shop is located on Second street, two doors west of the Clarendon restaurant. All new work will be fully warranted and bis repairing will be done in the most artistic manner. We hope this enterprise will meet with the succees it deserves. Subscribe for The Chbonici.b and .get the news. Awarded .... v. '. . -Highest Honors "VVorld's Fair, Gold Medal, Midwinter Fair.
