There will be one or more ' speakers present to address the club. Everyone who will vote for McKinley and Hobart is requested, to be present. Ab the evenings grow longer and are more unpleasant, attention is again turned to the club rooms, where last night a number of ladies and gentlemen enjoyed the different sports afforded. We expect soon to chronicle some rec ord-breaking bowling scores. Mr. A. S. Mac Allister returned last evening from the locks. A new dredger is being built to supply the" place of the Enterprise, which - could not do the . work. Eight courses of Btone are yet to lay on the north bide. An old scow is being fitted up to use in connection -. The work is being pushed with all pos sible speed. A curious fish for this coast was caught on a sturgeon hook this morning. It has a very frank open countenance, a genuine Bryan mouth, and has a slim " tapering tail a good deal like the Demo ' cratic party. An old New Englander who viewed it said it was a Rock cod. If so it has come a long way to inform us of the result of the Maine election. The rehearsals of Howell's farce, "The Garroters," are progressing rapidly un ' der the charge of Miss Glubbs. It will certainly be the opportunity of a life time for the ladies of The Dalles to wit ness this laughable production. Tomor row we will print the cast of characters, which will be somewhat of a mystery to unravel. Marshal Laner appointed Mr. Camer on to run in the cows, - and up to 11 o'clock today he had impounded four-1 teen. He got into altercations with several owners and the day herder, but skillfully avoided trouble, at the. same time chasing in cows.' The town has been literally overrun with cattle at large, but the nuisance is now practical ly ended. ' ' ' ' - j North wag bound over to the grand jury under' $250 bonds before' Justice Filloon yesterday for indeceht'exposure. The witnesses were four little girls. A silly grin overspread the face of the de fendant most of the time during the trial, and it is believed 1 by some bis mind is affected. ' Spectators were sen sibly excluded from the court room while the to was in progress. Election notices were printed at The Chronicle office' this, morning, inform- ng the public 'that there will be a big election on Nov." 3d ; that a president, and vice-president of the United States will then be' elected, and that the polls will be open' from 8 a. m. to 6 p. m. Most of us have "hearn" that such an event is to occur, but the requirements of the law mast be complied with. ' . An' Indian woman named Caroline ap peared at the sheriff's office today.-; She is trying to regain possession of a child that belonged in life to her brother. He was drowned at the mouth of Mill creek about two years ago while drunk. His wife then lived in adulta'ry, it ' is said, with a certain colored man, he possess ing a wife of bis own. The child fell to Caroline, the sister of the' drowned In dian, and she claims to have cared for it, and paid its doctor bills and living expenses. The colored individual came and got the child, and now Caroline is trying to get it back. The case may come up in court. , j' - J. lie uaiies is snameiuiiy neglected in the matter .of Republican speakers. There is not a Republican' political ad dress booked at the present time in . The Dalles for the remainder of the cam paign. The rest of the state is '.being carefully looked after by each prominent speakers as Hon. , W. R. Ellis, T. T. Geer, Thos. H, Tongue, E. L. Smith and half a score of others,'; and The Dalles alone, which is capable of turning, out an audience ot 1,000 people, is overlooked by ' the state . Republican committee. Good speakers come to The Dalles ' and go out in the country to address an audi ence of 25 to 50 at ' some school house, while the Populists attempt to interest our large audiences .' with bowlers like Clarno and Pennoyer and igrioramt like Weatherford. . We desire to register a protest. . -. Bargains at pianos at the Jacobsen MILLINERY OPENING. The Beautiful Display Last Kveulnr at tne.Ellt I'arlora. - The Elite millinery parlors, Mrs.' M. E. Briggs, proprietress, n-ere aglow last evening with an exquisite combination of colors, to. which. botU nature and art contributed." The handsome rooma, in their gala dress, were thronged till late in the evening by the ladies of the citv and vicinity, who desired to take a com prehensive, as well as a particular glance, at this season's fashions. The decorations were '- profuse. Potted plants and flowers were everywhere. The predominating colors this year are purple and green, and wherever the eye chanced to rest it was met. by this fash ionable and beautiful combination. Fes toons of ivy and woodbine were draped alpng the walls, and the; ceiling was twined with purple' and green ribbons in handsome contrast. Displayed in all available places were the trimmed hats, fresh from - the milliner's hands, and displaying to splendid advantage her trained and tasteful rt. The was noth ing visible suggestive of the styles of days sgoue, even in the recent past. Not an inch of. space was spared for a last fall's hat, and indeed it would have looked sadly, out of place, so radically different are this year's shapes and trimmings. The visitors were delight ed with the display, whiclv after all, gives-ample scope for variety. - - - The Elite Millinery Parlors are always abreaet of the times, and its proprie tress evidently believes the ladies of The Dalles should have all the advan tages of a metropolis in the matter of fashions. She carries on a carefully conducted .business, and has no old stock to close out, no bankrupt goods to palm off upon her patrons, because they can be purchased for fifty cents on the dollar. Owing to this principle of al ways being up to date, the Elite Parlors have easily attained - the lead in The Dalles in the millinery line, a position which Mrs. Briggs re-established by the elegant opening last evening. , ; . The Campaign mt Education. for bimetallism is not to be desired nor sought. But all of these arguments are already familiar. The only mistake made by the Democratic campaign com mittee was in sending out such a poor declaimer as Weatherford, when there are hundreds of bright boys and girls in the landwho can repent the speech with all the arts and graces of the elocution ist, without the frequent repetitions, and without the awful and glaring errors both of rhetoric and grammar, which Mr. Weatherford inflicts upon a help less audience. .; Indian Love That Survives Youtu.

'Call and see him. . ; ! - -- An aged Indian couple is reported near the city trying to maintain life as best they may; They are said to be about 80 years old each. Contrary to all traditional Indian customs, the hus band, who can speak good English, cares very tenderly -for his aged wife. In dians'usually ' regard their wives, when they become old, as cumbersome - cattle, and their portion is neglect, sometimes abuse, which makes them an easy prey to death. The old couple spoken of do not follow the policy of their race, but are very regardful of the welfare of the other. They are having a bard time to make a live of it, but if the storms and exposures of the coming winter prove too" severe for one of them, the survivor will mournfully attend to the proper funeral ceremony of the' deceased. If they go together, it will be with a mu tnal look of love into each other's eyes as the film that death bequeaths grows over them. ' ' ' -'" Have Ton Seen It?

Mr. Weatherford is not what might be termed a ready speaker.' He baited and stumbled, and scattered and ranted, at the Baldwin opera house last evening, while following the. usual lines of the new and populistic doctrine of the Dem ocratic party, until the more intelligent part ' of the audience assembled were sorry for his sake they were present to witness bis discomfiture.: Weatherford should never enter a joint debate. There were a dozen men present last, evening, who had they been allowed ten minutes, would have strewn Mr. Weath'erford's labored theories to the .four winds. There was nothing new in bis remarks, so far as bis often obscure meaning could be figured out. He upheld the right of American citizens to criticize the supreme court; reiterated tbe long since exploded theory that the federal government has no right to interfere with the rights of a state when that state is under the rule of a mob; and ' re-declared that international agreement 'An elegant Columbia Piano Co. piano with the latest invention; the mandolin attachment.
