Dietzel, who was buried Saturday, and came out on purpose to visit him. It ia a touching commentary on the helplessness of man that he arrived just in time to attend his old friend's funeral. Mr. J. G. Miller and Mr. ' Kane, a pressman, left for Portland this morn ing to purchase a press to be used on the new daily paper soon to be issued in The Dalles. - ":" The Sadie B, the scow Interstate and the dredger were anchored in the middle lock Saturday, and it waa. expected would be taken through the lower lock gate that afternoon. The delay waa caused by the iron ring pulling out of place ' on . the guard gate when the at tempt was made to open it by pulling the chain which operates it. The upper guard and lock ' gates worked satisfac torily. Some dredging must be done be low the lower gates, , and it ia necessary to use the boats therefor- -the Inter state to furnish ' wood for fuel and the Sadie B to carry away the sediment brought up. Freeh oyeters at A. Keller's. s7-dlw Mr. Peterson Will Leave TJa. CANT CARRY HIS PRECINCT. Ihe Boy Orator' Fickleness Established at Home. - Business continuing dull in the cigar trade, Mr. 0. A. Peterson recently ad vervised in the New York Clipper for a professional engagement. Several days ago in response to the advertisement he received an offer to lead Schilling's Min strels band, and play first violin. He replied that he was no violinist, and to day received a second telegram' asking him to come at once to lead the band, wardrobe furnished. The' season opens in Denver next Monday, and Mr. Peter son will leave tomorrow night. The ef fect of Mr. Peterson'' a withdrawal will prove disastrous to our band, who have been so kindly furnishing free Sunday afternoon concerts during the summer. The burden of the lead cornet will now fall to Mr. Benton, who, though an effi cient and - thorough cornetist, cannot perform the impossible and sustain the B flat unassisted. The band has, how ever, made a heroic struggle to retain Mr. Peterson. The people of town fail ing to purchase "Regulator" cigars, which by the way are actually made out of the best tobacco possible to obtain, Mr. Peterson could not sustain himself by the limited sales, and the band then voted him a salary of $20 a month for three months, hoping that by that time his business would - improve. But smokers continued to buy other and often inferior cigars, or dealers failed to push them. The business failed to even keep the manager busy as his own fac tory hand, and he waa compelled to seek other avenues of employment. . The town thus loses, besides a small manu factory, a most efficient ' band leader whose place wi)l be bard to duplicate. The hundreds who. have assembled on Sunday afternoons : to listen: to the choicest music will remember the past pleasures of the summer and regret Mr, Peterson's departure. He . leaves to morrow night for hia engagement with Schilling's Minstrels. The oyBter season is now opened at A. Keller's. Oysters in any style.: e7-dlw Mr. E W. Eliot, of Walla Walla, is in receipt of an interesting letter from an old friend and comrade of hia, Major H. C. McArthur, of Nebraska, which he gives, publication in the Journal. Major McArthur was a member of Mr. Eliot's regiment during the war, the Fifteenth Iowa, and he was on the staff of General Belknap and one of the first men to enter Columbia, South Carolina, when that city- was taken by Sherman. Major McArthur is at present military instructor' for the Nebraska State In dustrial school. He is more or less in terested in the political situation, and in a letter to Mr. Eliot, gives some very in teresting facts .' about the outlook in Bryan's own state, county, ward and precinct. His letter says in part: "We are going to carry 'Nebraska for McKinley. In this part of the state there are a good many Pops, but meet ings are being held all over the country and the signs are improving all the time. And the more the people of Nebraska find put that we have' no silver to eell and the only persons to be benefited by free silver are the mine owners, the more will turn to McKinley. What the farmers want are the mills of Jtbe coun try opened up to the workmen and wljen the laboring men are employed the farmers will ' have customers for their surplus products, McKinley struck' it bardwhen he said, 'It ia. better to open up the mills to American workmen than to open np the mints of the Unite! States to the silrer of the world.' "My home ia still in Lincoln. I vote there and my residence is in the same ward and the same voting precinct .as Mr. Bryan. I have lived within two blocks of his house for the past seven yeara and I know him well. He is a nice gentleman and has a very pleasant family, but he won't stop at anything allowed in politics to succeed. We took a poll of our ward and Bryan's precinct a few daya Bince I' think about two weeks ago and McKinley had three' to Bryan's one." In my opinion it will be thia way at election time. "Four yeara ago Bryan was wild on tree trade; that was all we needed - to maxe us an wealthy ana happy; just open the markets to the world and the world would be open to us, and then the millenium. Well we opened our mar kets and the foreigners took ns in and the reverse has happened. We are in the soup and you can't scare Bryan out on the tariff issue with a ten foot pole. He fooled the people once but he can't do it again." '. ' ' "' ... Yesterday .Concert. ... cornet solo by Mr. Peterson was played as an artist plays, but the selection was not so popular as hia eolo"Old Kentucky Home," rendered a few weeks previous ly. ; The medley of gospel hymns was a tasteful arrangement of sacred melodies, and appear to the best advantage by be ing arranged for band music. Among the prettiest was the trombone solo, "Yield Not to Temptation." "Yankee Patrol" has been played twice before, but improves in the appreciation of the audience with each rendition. It is speakingly patriotic and contains a very unique medley as well. The most beau tiful number was the last, entitled "An Idyl From Natnre" introducing "a forge in the forest." Crickets and bird music added delightfully to its value as a de scriptive selection, and the forge solo was a superb addition musically. ' " Abuse of Brutes Ag-aln. . "A society should be formed in The Dalles tor the prevention of cruelty to animals and one or two examples made by appealing to the laws which exist on the statute books. The latest instance of cruelty which cornea to light is of a family on the bluff who had become tired of their dog and ended its life by hanging it. A noose was tied around its neck and it was simply heng up like a bam from a beam. The witness who in formed the reporter 'says' its' struggles, extending for fifteen or twenty minutes, were pitiful in the extreme. ' The poor animal twisted and squirmed, ita tongue banging out and eyes protruding until death, long delayed, came to its relief. Such an act ia inhumanly brutal, and causes people of more tender suscepti bilities to thndder. There are nnmerous societies, leagues andcluba in The Dallea more or less useful, but none so im portant as a Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. . ;- - Halles-Moro Stage Leaves the Umatilla house 8 a. m Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. - Douglas Allen, Prop.
