Soy Turner was tried this morning
before Justice Davis for perjury. The

were Simeon Bolton and Sheriff Driver.
Bolton testified to the making out of the
affidavit and Driver to the boy admit
ting to him the coyotes were not killed
at Kingsley. A plea was entered of "not
guilty," and no testimony was sub
mitted by the defense. Judge Davis

they actually play by getting rattled.
Since the rise in the river the fish
have ceased to move and the catch is
again very light, only a few fish being
caught last night. When the river
commences falling again the catch will
be large. One thing is very noticeable
this year. That is, the ealmon are finer
looking fish by long odds than ever be
fore. They, are large, sleek and fat, and
none of them hare scars of any kind,
which has been a feature in years past.
The quality has never been excelled.

moved to amend it by changing "I" to

The song recital by the pupils of Miss
Eliot at the Congregational church last
evening was one of the most delightful
and rare functions of that nature ever
given in The Dalles. The program was
entirety vocal, and the numbers all by
feminine voices with one exception.
First was a lullaby, by Miss Myrtle
Michell, Mrs. Truman Butler, Miss
Eliot and Mrs. Varney. The selection
was very sweet and plaintive. The
voices were well balanced and brought
out its full beauty. "Yesterday and
Today" was the title of a pretty solo by
Miss Rose Michell. The lady's natur
ally good voice has been much improved
by cultivation and she sang with un
usual expression. Miss Sampson next
sang "The Tram for .Foppyiana, a
simple hut very melodious air which she
interpreted most gracefully. Miss May
dishing then sang a "Slumber Song."
The possession of so beautiful a voice
was a pleasant surprise to the majority
of the audience who had never before
heard her voice, for Miss Cushing has
seldom before sung in public. Miss
Cushing has a voice of great purity and
depth of tone, a sweet rich contralto,
for which the song she sang was ad
mirably fitted. Mrs. E. O. McCoy then
sang "The Sweet Old River," a difficult
selection with sudden changes of com
pass. In it Mrs. McCoy exhibits a care
fully trained voice originally gifted' by
nature. Dr. O. D. Doane is ever popu
lar and his song last night proved no
exception. He has a mellow rich voice,,
its full excellence of tone being re
vealed in the laBt verse ot his selection,
Daylight is Waning," where the air
changes to a weird minor, full of strength
and reserved force. Miss Edna Glenn's
song, "Sweet Birdie, Sing,'1 was a sim
ple and melodious selection, which. tbe
young lady rendered very sweetly. . No.
5, "Ladybird," was a chorus of 9 voices,
being taken as follows : First soprano,
Mrs. E. O. McCoy, Miss Edna Glenn,
Mrs. B. S. Huntington. Second soprano,
Miss Jessie Butler, Mrs. Truman But
ler. First alto, Miss Myrtle Michell,
Miss Dorothea Eliot. Second alto, Miss
May Cushing, Mrs. A. N, Varney.
"Ladybird" is a very brilliant vocal se
lection, very difficult and most musical.
The words are unimportant, but best-
serve to weave the delightful moduia
tions ot many voices into a harmonious
whole. The selection was honored with
an enthusiastic encore. Mrs. Truman
Butler sang two short selections, "Snow
Flakes" and "Star Violets." She has a
sweet voice which is under perfect con
trol and tbe selections were charming.
Mrs. A. N. Varney next sang "Sunset."
Mrs. Varney has often pleased our peo
ple with her voice and has long been a
favorite. It is a voice of much power,
depth and sweetness. The selection was
a difficult one, with sudden changes of
expression, which she executed with
much ease and musical taste. Miss
Jessie Batter sweetly sang "Thine Eyes
So Bine and tender." Her voice is a
pure soprano, almost embryonic as yet,
but when fully developed will be one of
rare beauty. Mrs. B. S: Huntington
sang a "Madrigal" and "Two Maidens."
An improvement in Mrs. Huntington's
singing can scarcely be imagined. The
beauty of her notes seem to thrill with a
perfect fulness of delight. Her low
tones are as full and pure as her high
ones. The two selections last night by
her were listened to with breathless at
tention. Miss Myrtle Michell is another
young lady gifted with a beautiful voice.
Her selection last night was "Daddy," a
very affecting one which drew tears from
many in the audience, as much from the
tenderness and mellow harmony of her
voice as tbe pathetic story in full sym
pathy with it. Miss Eliot then sang
two short solos. She ia the possessor of
a fine contralto voice, and sings with
that confidence born of a knowledge
that she has a complete mastery of it.
It has received a high stage of cultiva-'
tion. She responded to an encore,
which showed its fullest beauty and
depth of tone. The recital closed with a
duet by Mrs. Huntington and Miss
Eliot, a "Venetian Song." The selec
tionwas avery beautiful one.
Miss Eliot as a vocal teacher, judged
by last night's program, is a pronounced
success. She has elevated the standard
in The Dalles, has brought out the
beauties of much of our native talent,
and given to audiences future auditory
pleasures which cannot be estimated.
