was its equal. -'; - '

specialties introduced "in the
play enhance its value.
: The eighteenth and last concert of the
season was given by The Dalles band at
the school grounds ' yesterday. There
was present tbe usual large attendance.
Though these audiences have' been less
demonstrative than the fine character of
the concerts warrant, they have been af
forded much pleasure and sincerely re
gret the close ot the free concerts for the
season. Our band is a very fine musical
organization and after the close of the
present campaign, will seldom be heard
in the open air until next summer.
Mr. Lander, concerning whom an ar
ticle appeared in Friday's Chronicle
about meeting a bride in The Dalles,
corrects us on some important points,
which throws an entirely new light up
on the' affair, and makes it apparent our
informant was in error. He has known
tbe lady concerned for i early five years,
tbe acquaintance not. originating,- as
stated; in a matrimonial advertisement.
While she came tp meet him for the pur
pose as stated, she Ief$ with '. his ' entire
knowledge and consent, and by ' mutual
agreement. Her-expenses being paid
by him, included, of course, the
hotel bill. Mr. Lander has taken the
article much more seriously than the
spirit in : which it was written. We
therefore regret the serious construction
he has put upon it and' gladly publish
the above corrected facts. '

Rev. F. W. Parker delivers a free lec
ture .tonight at tbe Congregational
church, subject "Ther -Work of the
Teacher and the Relation of the Parent
to that Work," 'The lecture is a very
important one for 'every parent who de
sires the best results to be obtained in
the education of their children. Mr,
Parker will show that the duty of the
parent is not ended in merely procuring
books and sending their children . to
school each morning,' but that they may
work in harmony with tbe teacher, and
fit tbe little ones under their charge to
occupy better stations in life and give
them better and purer ideas of life. Mr.
Parker gave a very interesting talk to
the high school scholars this morning.
No one is doing a more important work
in the world than the lecturer, and The
Chronicle bespeakB for him a crowded
house.
Mr. Heilrln Returns.
Mr. H. Herbring, one of The Dalles
leading merchants, has returned from
his annual buying trip to New York
City, arriving Saturday morning after an
absence of three weeks. Mr. Herbring
has much, to say of interest to our read
ers. ' New York state is deep in tbe
struggles of the campaign. He finds
that about 95 Der cent, of the business
men, irrespective of party affiliations,
are for McKinley and Hobart, and tbe
tops of the huge business buildings are
nearly all flying large banners with
various political mottoa upon them, all
argumentative for the election of Mc
Kinley. Coming home he met two. im
mense trains, loaded with- Grand Army
veterans, returning from a reunion at
St. Paul, the sentiment among them
being practically unanimous for McKin
ley. The business outlook is improving.
Cotton goods have generally advanced
45 per cent. , There has also been an up
ward tendency in leather, and the mar
ket is stiffening . in nearly all lines of
trade. Referring to his own purchases
ne states that he secured a very hand
some line of ladies cloaks, jackets, capes
and wraps at a ' good discount, and ex
pects to open them up' for inspection
here in about ten days. . '
