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

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.

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

The riiajnu."
The last of Milton and Dollie Noble
plays in The Dalles was given at the
opera house last night. 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.
