Mr. A. S. Mac Allister returned last

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

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

time chasing in cows.' The town has
been literally overrun with cattle at
large, but the nuisance is now practical

expenses. The colored individual came
and got the child, and now Caroline is

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.

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. ' ' ' -'"

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
