caused by the iron ring pulling out of

the chain which operates it. The upper

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.

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. . ;-
