' It is expected that Bishop Cranston, the newly appointed dignitary of the Methodist church, will fill the pulpit cf the church here some Sunday, in the near future. There was just enough enow fell this morning to make one think it was mid winter, and then the weather clerk re membered what he promised yesterday and shut off the supply.

All interested are cordially invited to be present. The locks at the Cascades will not be operated torn rrowsbacause it is Thanks giving and a jtegal hxJVirlay. The boats will ran just as U9ual, making a transfer I of passengers at the locks and carrying no freight. Passengers will have to walk only a few yards, in ' going from one boat to the other. Of course this would be a proper oc casion to print a dissertation on Thanks giving, its origin, ris? and progress, but we do not purpose doing itr At the Episcopal church Rev. Gosawill trace out the history of Thanksgiving, and at the Congregational Bey. Gray will do the same thing, VVjrf stand aside and request that, all on readers attend ser vices and they wifl find out all about Thanksgiving, and also something to be thankful for. If we bad nothing else to give thanks for, we should certainly find-suffi lient reason for so doing in' the fact that we do not have to chase around after news items. Today our weary' brogans have thumped the icy by-ways in vain, for items are not, and neither is anybody else. After making7 the rounds of the town we reached Our den possessed of the information that Jack Donoh'ne has a turkey that is, from its size, some re lation to a pterodactyl. That's all we know, except that we would like to sam ple the biru . The FoTum. The Fornm for December will contain a. noteworthy sympoFinm ; on "The elec tion Its Lessons and Its. Warnings.' The first paper in the "group is contrib uted by tbe Hon. Andrew D. White, who, in a very valuable and suggestive article sets forth some of The Practical Lessons of the Recent Campaign. Dr. White is followed by Mr. D. MacGregor Means, a well known publicist of New York, who, under the title "Will Gov ernment by the People Endure?" ana lyzes the causes of discontent which led to the recent crisis. Prof. Goldwiu Smith completes the triology with a paper entitled "The Brewing of the Storm," in which he discusses the recent crisis from. the point of view of an outsider. - ( Klectrfc Kilters. ' 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 sluggiBh 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 sureiy counteracting and freeing the system from the malar ial poison. Headache, Indigestion, Con stipation, Dizziness yield to Electric Bit ters. 50c ami $1 00 per bottle at Blake ley & Hough ton's drug store. per lb: o 9 3 per lb. & MAYS AN .IMPROMPTU GUILLOTINE. And the Fearful, Gory and Unexpected Result. It is really astonishing how sedate men, men ot excellent judgment and keen discernment, will occasionally do the most stupid and apparently un called for things. A case of this kind was called to our attention this morning, the event happening to one of oar lead- ng citizens, a man of learning and abil ity, and one whose judgment has mote weight, in Gilliam, Wasco. Crook and Sherman counties, than any other man in them. Now,' this gentleman, after breakfasting this morning suggested -to his wife that the big gobbler provided for tomorrow's feasting should be slaugh tered at once. "The occasion," said he, reminds me of my boyhood. - Many a turkey and chicken have I beheaded in the days of long ago, and surely my band has not lost its skill." And so he pro ceeded to the basement of the house. where the wood and things are stored, and then he proceeded to arrange for the execution. A couple of rings were fas tened to the joists of the floor above, placed there to hold a swing for his only sou. The fitness of the surroundings' at once appealed to his discerning judg ment, and so he tied a piece of clothes line to the gobblers' legs, pulled the other end of the line through the ring. placed a block of wood convenient, with the ax handy, and grabbing the gobbler firmly by his legs, 'placed Lis long and bewhiskered neck on the block. Then the ax was raised, and with an awful swoop descended. The gobbler's neck was severed and the ax buried half its depth in the wood. Tbe executioner made a pull on the rope, and up went his turkeyship with a rush, nearly to the ceiling. Then there was a com mo- tion, and such a flapping of wings and contortion of body as that dead but kick ing turkey made has not been witnessed either in or out of turkeydom for many a year. The bold executioner turned pale and dodged behind a con venient post, to shut out the horrid vis ion, and at the same time escape a del uge of carminated gore that the turk dis tributed without fear or favor. Finally, when 'all was still, the trembling man came from behind tbe post'and surveyed the field-of carnage. As bis eye took in tbe results he tied the end of the rope to the post and left the inanimate tnrk to whatever fate might befall him. He re ported the .death of the turkey to his wife, and then came down town to trv and get an invitation out to dinner to morrow. He has not been borne since, and the reason is soon told. To a friend he confessed that when the turkey was dead, and not before, he discovered that the family washing was hung up in the basement; "and," said he, "if there was a piece of it that that turkey missed, I do not know it." If you do not believe this story,- ask Judge Bradshaw, who was a witness to the whole transaction. So Saj We, All of Da. ;. Tomorrow being Thanksgiving tbe Cheoniclb force will in obedience to the Ralston Koffy, Pan Kake Flour, Grano and Breakfast Food, MAIER & BENTON The Dalles. request of both the president and gover nor "refrain from their usual avocations" and devote the day to returning thanks as other good people do. A printer has much to be thankful for, more, perhaps, than those citizens who pursue other callings. 'His or her principal cause for thankfulness being in the fact tbat.be or she was not. born twins, and so escaped a double dose of all those ills that bover around the print shop. The employes, foreman, compositors and devil unite with the tired and mayhap tiresome edi tor in wishing all Tpa Chronicle read ers all manner of good things, and hope that all have so 'prospered in the. last year tnat their thanks may be deep, heartfelt and abundant.
