Edwards Davis arrived today from Portland and will address the citizens of The Dalles tonight on "The Science of Art." Mr. Davis has a very pleasing personality. He has a massive intellect nal head, with magnetic eyes and ;even features, whose curves from a phrenolog ical standpoint would indicate a highly artistic temperament. The band concert yestereay was at' tended more generally by the ladies than common. The music was excellent, as usual. The placing of seats in the grounds was a wise provision and insures comfort with delight. Yesterday was the sixth free concert of the season, and interest in them does not wane. The unselfish spirit of the band is appreci ated by a liberal attendance. ' Hon. Chas. Hilton, wife and daughter returned on the ocatrain today from I the East.

When a schoolmaster entered the tem ple of learning on Mountain creek a lew mornings ago he read on the blackboard the touching legend : "Our teacher is a donkey."

Mitchell Monitor. The continued high water is having itB effect on some of the tenants in the lower district. We learn that Mrs. Brit tan is making arrangements to vacate the house she has occupied for the past twelve years. It is about time the city fathers adopted some measures to ex clude the water from the low places, pre venting its becoming, stagnant, thereby endangering the health of the city. The prisoners in the county jail are at times visited by Mre. Cross, who talks, prays, sings and reads with them, en deavoring to induce them to accept Christ. This morning the lady made one of her periodical visits. She is al ways treated respectfully and- courte ously, and undoubtedly elevates them by her spirit of true unselfishness, whether or not they accept the Word she bnngslothem. "Mr. W. M McCorkle returned home last night from his visit of six- weeks to pn THE COUNCIL DEADLOCKED. The Mayor and Three CouncUmeu Want W. II. Butts for Marshal. agreed upon as the verdict. One of the jurymen asserted the damages at $750, and another at $100,000. A new jury might award more or less, and each party to the suit seems willing to try a newdeai. An outsider who lietened to the trial eays it was funny to hear the arguments made, which tended to convey the idea that there were tons and tons of fish to be hauled to the railroad every day in the year, and that "trains or boats" would be running over the boat railway eo close together that a wagonload of fish could not be hauled over it without I danger of being run over. The facts in the case are that the bulk of the fish are caught at The Dalles within ten days, and that the whole fish ing season there lasts only about a month. As to the boat railway, per haps Mr. Seufert may live long euough to see a boat pass over it, and perhaps he may not; but it will be a long time before there is one boat per day passing up and down over the proposed boat railway. However, this probably cuts no figure in the amount ef damages which should be allowed on general principles. - PERSONAL. MENTION. The chief business before the city council Saturday evening was the ap pointment and confirmation of marshal, but the meeting was barren of result. There is a deadlock in the common council at the present time, on the one side the mayor and three councilinen and on the other the remaining six coun cilinen. Reduced to individuals, four out of ten are determined that W. H. Butts shall be the next city marshal, and six of ten are for Borne one elee. ' The first business before the meeting was a petition from Mr. J. M. Patterson that the council fix a rate of $3 a night or $15 per week for shows in the armory hall. Referred to the finance committee. After the disposal of this business there was a momentary silence, broken by the mayor, who stated the object of the meeting to be the selection of a mar shal. He said he had been unable to make any appointment except the one he bad heretofore made, and hoped the council would take another ballot and make the confirmation. Of all men in the city Butts was the ideal man in the mayor's estimation who could work har moniously along with him. He should like to have his choice respected, be cause he is in a great meaeure responsi ble for the marshal's actions ; whatever mistakes the marshal makes is treasured up against the mayor who made the appointment. Councilman Nolan moved that a ballot be taken, which resulted as before 6 to , j i i,1a ik ' Vcean Park spending the heated term f Mayor Jb rank Menefee left for Ante n When yog mant to bay Seed Wheat, Feed Wheat, Rolled Barley, Whole Barley, Oats, Rye, Bran, Shorts, Or anything n the Feed Line, go to the WASCO : WAREHOUSE.

How the Jury Reached a Verdict i: Boat-Railway Case. .m ihe - As was Btated at the time the verdict in the condemnation case of the govern ment against Seufert Bros, was rendered, neither party to the suit was eatisfied, and both were talking of asking for a new trial. Perhaps they both under stood then how tbe jury arrived at the verdict, says the Oregonian. It is said that each member of the jury wrote out the amount of ' damages he thought the defendant was entitled to, and that these amounts were added together and the total divided by 12, the number of tbe jury, and the amount was Awarded Highest Honors World's Fair, Gold Medal, Midwinter Fair.
