THE DALLES,

IT WAS LADIES' DAY.
Continued from third page.
gon," a response that bad bat one fault,
and that, its brevity.
Mayor Menefee told us all about "Our
City," and as he knows more about tt
than anyone, be left nothing to be said.
Roger 6. Sinnott handled the subject
"How It Seems to be a Beginner" by
Baying that from the time of his eariliest
recollection he had thres inordinate
longing? First to own a pair of red
topped boats, and when he got them be
immediately wanted to lick the first boy
he met, and got whipped instead. His
next anguishing desire was to smoke his
first "cigarette. This be accomplished
only to get in return a second licking.
The third was to cast his first vote, "and
this time," said he, "proved the old
adage that the third time meant success,
and I did not get whipped."
''How It Seems to Be Licked" was
reeponded to by one who experienced
the sensation in June in a personal de
feat, and again in November by the de
feat of the fused and re-fused party.
That individual is .now penciling these
line?, but his "innate modesty and
blushing diffidence, which are said to be
two of the most charming traits of his
lovable character," forbid bis saying
anything about his remarks on that oc
casion. Indeed, a treacherous memory
has already made it impossib'e, which
should give you, gentle reader, a cause
for tbaukpgiving,and if those who heard
and still survive will also kindly forget,
it will be a source of thankfulness to
bim.
Mr. Hugh Gourlay gave a brief his
tory of Mark Hanna, telling who and
what he is, and giving him credit for all
be has done, besides pointing out a great
many things with which the other side
credited him.
Mr. B. S. Huntington was to have re
eponded to the toast "Oregon, "but oving
to the saddest of all causes, the death of
a loved one, he could not appear. In
stead, however, Mr. D. H. Roberts read
the response which Mr. Huntingtou had
prepared, and which showed in every
sentence the love of the writer for our
great and beautiful Oregon.
We cannot close tnis article without
eaying just a few words concerning the
bright young gentleman who so ably
filled the very difficult position cf toast
maeter, Mr. F. W. Wilson. In every po
sition in which be is placed be surprises
bis friends by just exactly fitting it.
He is cool, collected, tactful, and has the
happy faculty of saying just the right
thing and no more. The ratification
.would have been a success, no doubt,
without bim, since the ladies were be
hind it, but we detract nothing from all
that they did, in saying that he added
largely to the pleasures of the evening
by keeping the wheels moving steadily
-and without friction. As the boys all
eay, "Fritz" is all right.
During the evening the band rendered
several fine selections and were heartily
applauded.
As the different toasts were responded
to there was vigorous and "hearty ap
plause, but neither the essence of the
speeches nor the vibration of the re
sponsive chorda can be put in print.
Suffice it that at midnight, or shortly
after, the pleasant affair ended, and the
guests wended their way homewards
delighted with their evening's enter
tainment. The presence of many grey-haired
veterans and the music of the band sug
gested, and we trust will excuse, the
putting in print of the lines herewith
annexed, which might be entitled
WHEN ARTHUR BEATS THB DBUM.
The Dalles Is proud of everything
That appertains to it
Frond of Its women's loveliness,
Its learning, business, wit;
Proud of the talent that it has,
Of all its people, and
The essence of its proudest pride
Is proudncss of its band. ,
"When Benton tongues the B cornet
We all say, '-Ain't it fine?"
And when we hear Long's clarinet
We sigh, and say "Divine!"
We hold our breath in ecstasy
When horns are all a-hum;
But in our eyes a dimness comes
When Arthur beats the drum.
i
There's something in the swift tattoo
That tells of other years
When Music's voice was saddened with ,
The weight of Sorrow' tears ;
When beardless youth and bearded man
Went marc bine side by side
To sanctify with patriot's blood
The field where heroes died.
There's something in the rub-a-dub
That speaks a mourning land
For its good "Father Abraham"
Dead by a murderer's hand.
And so, unbidden, to our minds
Bad thoughts unwelcome come
Of loyal hearts forever stilled,
When Arthur beats the drum.

Almost Burlnl Allvo.
Last week a Miss JXekeson of Mount
Angel, Marion county, had a narrow es
cape from being buried alive. She was
supposed to have died, and preparations
were made for the funeral. Aftrr the
services were held at the lx'in, tin- un
dertaker in placing the lid on the c .sket
discovered signs of life and the woman
was speedily removed from the casket.
She was awakened as if from a trance,
and the house of mourning was turned
into a house of joy. Miss Dickeson is
now reported to be almost well.
The moral of all this is, be not to hasty
in disposing of the bodies of your loyed
ones. Be sure unmistakable signs of de
composition have taken place before con
signing them to the grave, fo." nothing
imaginable can be more terrible than
an awakening from a trance or catalep
tic fit and find above six feet or more
of earth and not a possible chance of es
cape. A ISridgre Gone. ,
Saturday night the bridge across Her
mann creek, just this side of the Cas
cades, was carried out by that stream,
which we are told has assumed the
magnitude of a torrent. It has remained
so high that nothing conld be done
towards bridging it, and so, the through
passenger trains bave made a transfer at
that point, and the local and all freight
trains have been abandoned. Sunday
morning the pile driver was started for
the scene of the wreck, but it had either
swelled or the tunnel shrunk, for it
wouldn't go through, but stuck fast and
was smashed to a limited extent. How
long the delay will last is bard to say,
bat it is quite certain that the danger
will be repaired as soon as it is possible.
Thank You.
The Women's McKinley Club wish to
make puolic acknowledgment of the
many favors received and services ren
dered for the reception given by them
Saturday evening. We wish to espe
cially thank Sinnott & Fish, The Dalles
Band, W. Wallace Wilson, E. Jacobsen,
Thk Chronicle, Fred Wilson, and
all who so kindly reeponded to toasts.
We feel too much credit cannot be given
them for our success.

Electric Bitters.
Electric Bitters is a medicine suited
for any season, but perhaps more gener
ally needed when the languid, exhausted
feeling prevails, when the liver is torpid
and sluggish and the need of a tonic and
and alterative is felt. A prompt use of
this medicine has often averted long and
perhaps fatal bilious fevers. No medi
cine will act more surely counteracting
and freeing the system from the malar
ial poison. Headache, Indigestion, Con
stipation, Dieziness yield to Electric Bit
ters. 50c and $1.00 per bottle at Blake
