Edwards Davis arrived today from

The Dalles tonight on "The Science of

personality. He has a massive intellect

features, whose curves from a phrenolog

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. '

contented himself with adding the word
"driver" to the legend, and opened the
school as usual. Mitchell Monitor.
The continued high water is having

lower district. We learn that Mrs. Brit

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

ways treated respectfully and- courte

by her spirit of true unselfishness,

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

It is said that each member of the
