The weather forecast for tonight and tomorrow is rain turning to snow, and cooler. . The local at noon waB-fported tied up the other side of BonnevllleV'there being several small land elides on the track. Since its organization in 1887, the state board of railroad commissioners has cost the state the grand total of $94,000. Bishop Morris of the Episcopal church is expected on the local from. Portland today, and will preach tomorrojrv, morn ing and evening. The winner of the piece of embroidery at the Snipes-Kinersly drug store will be know tonight, as the matter will be settled at 8 o'clock. The Regulator will be up tomorrow and will go on her regular run Monday. The D..P. & A. If . Co. are receiving freight for her today. A bright light in the southern sky shortly after 1 o'clock this afternoon was not caueed by the appearance of San Francisco's airship. It was the sun. Connty Clerk Kelsay now sports a handsome diamond ring, which, like that of the specimen pin in Bret Harte's famous ballad of the Emu, 'He did win at a raffle." v A number of the friends o H. D Parkins gave him a surprise at his home on. the hill last eveniug' Progressive logomachy was the feature of the even ing's amusements. There was a small disturbance last evening at the dance, which resulted in the arrest of a couple of young fellows, who were this morning fined $10 each by the city recorder. mr. j&on, wno some time ago was thrown from the door'of a caboose, and ' who snffered a fracture of the skull, was at one time given up by the Portland doctors, but is now about well and will soon return to his duties. ' . The advertisement of A. Clyatt & Co owners of the Japanese Bazaar, appears on our second page. These enterprising Japanese merchants have some very pretty Japanese curios, dishes, etc., very suitable for Christmas presents. Their store is next door to the Snipes-Kiuersly drugstore. ' A resident of the East End telephoned TIB the startling news this morning that - it was raining in that portion of the city. As the rain falls on the unjust as well as the just, we are prone to be lieve him, and you can figure the unjust as being in that part of the town you do not live m. We acknowledge the receipt of a pro gram of the meeting of the annual state teachers' association, to be held at Salem on the 28th, 29th and 30th. The leading educators of the state will, be there, and it promises to be one of the most inter esting and instructive meetings ever held by the association. Mrs. Mary -Turn bull died at Vancou ver on the 9th and was buried yester day. . She was the grandmother of Cap tain James Troup, formerly in the em ploy of the Q. R. & N., running on both the upper and middle Columbia, and the mother of Captain William Turn- bnll, also employed by. the O. R. & N. on the upper iver. Sometime ago John Crate was kicked on the leg by a horse. He did not pay much attention to the bruise, but was on horseback during the recent severe cold spell. The result is that be has a very bad case of blood-poisoning. Ar rangements are made for taking him to St. Vincent's hospital at Portland this afternoon, if the train gets here. The supreme court of Washington has affirmed the judgment of the lower court, finding ex-City Treasurer Boggs guilty of loaning the public funds and taking the interest to himself, which under the laws of Washington is made a crime. Boggs was at Spokane' when the news reached him, and at once pre pared to surrender himself to the sheriff. W Katie Putnam Coming. The Dalles has an unenviable reputa tion as a patron . of good shows. We think our people thoroughly appreciate a first-class play, but the trouble is that they somehow all turn out to see some measly take, and then the really merit orious companies get the cold shoulder, until finally they conclude to try it once more, and they are almost certain to make the trial on the next fake that comes along, only to - get home with an additional load of disgust. What we need is to switch and miss the poor ones for a time. The coming of Miss Katie Putnam - affords a splendid opportunity to begin She stands high in her pro fession, is now playing an engagement at the Marqrjam in Portland, and should have a crowded house here. The only way . to get good companies here is to patronize them, and if we do this and let the barnstormers go unpat ronized, we will not be long afflicted with the latter class. Miss Putnam shows here on the 16th. Church at Rufas. ' , . ,Ruiru8, Or., Dec. 11, 1896. Edi'Toe Chronicle: Elder A. D. Skaggs, pastor of the First Christian church of Tho Dalles, and your haaible scribe, came to this place on Sunday of last week to conduct ' a series of gospel meetings. We find the good people of Rufus and vicinity have' erected a com' fortable little church house, but as yet tuere is no ciiutcd organization nere. The meeting has become very interest ing and . the attendance is excellent, though the roads are bad. ' We will pro ceed" to organize a Christian church, here on Sunday morning after preaching. A score of names has already been handed us as charter members. The dedication of the house will take place in the near future. A. G. Hoering Love Finds a Way. A- beautiful story of absorbing interest is embodied in Miss Putnam's beautiful play, "Love Finds a Way," whicfl will be presented here 1 next Wednesday night at the opera house. Miss Put- hold of them, when the wheel of the op posite side struck a rock and he was thrown to the ground. The hind, wheel of the wagon, which was loaded with 6,500 pounds, ran across the side of his head and lengthwise down his body, breaking an arm, and one leg in two places and otherwise bruising and crushing him, Other teamsters were near, who took him to Antelope. He will probably re cover. Crook County Journal. Siberia and Her Vast Resources. nam ranks among the foremost of met ropolitan stars and her engagement here in The Dalles cannot fail to be success ful, as our people delight in dramatic productions that are worthy of their commendations. ' This Is the first time in many years that Miss Putnam has had a chance to come here and we promise that ber reception will be most cordial. Enterprise has given us a well equipped opera house, and it is . our duty to en courage the coming of good attractions. No Harm Done. S We are in receipt of a letter from the mayor of Richland,' New Mexico, statins that a man . named Henry Rice was hanged there two weeks -ago by the local vigilance committee. The charge against him was ' stealing r cayuse, but scarcely had he been buried when it was discovered that a mistake had been made and the wrong man banged. Al though they went to work and hanged the right man, the people felt a little conscience stricken. It was ascertained that Rice was from this town, and the mayor writes to express regrets and ask what can be done about it. Rice left herd about three months ago. Our peo ple will remember him as a lazy, shift less critter, with no ambition above getting drunk. There was some talk of banging him here, and -had he held on long enough that would have been his fate. We can't see where any barm has been done. - He didn't steal" the cayuse, but it was just as well to hang him and get him off the earth. ' He bad no rela tives, we believe, and if he had they would not raise a row about it. If the good people of Richland have nothing more on their conscience thev need worry no longer. - Seriously Burt. Mr. L. C. Stevenson, of Bear Creek, was seriously hurt last week - by being thrown from his seat on his freight wagon, while returning from' The Dalles with a load ot freight - for Oakes & Wil son. The accident occurred between Antelepeand Bakeoven. He had fast ened the lines to the brake and after lighting his pipe, reached down to get D. V.. Ivahov and Peter iKulatuhof, members of the Russian geological sur vey, have been for some time past inves tigating the mineral resources of Siberia along the route of the great Siberian railroad. They traveled a vast distance of mountain region. Their duty was to explore the country for 100 miles on the strip along which the road rune or is surveyed, so as to get a good idea of what the countrv afforded. "We found it a wonderful country and in point of scenery and in its resources of gold, silver, copper, lead, coal and other minerals," said one of the gentle men. "It was 'all that we could have desired. We collected many specimens of different kinds of ore, which we are taking back with us to St. Petersburg. In places, besides minerals, are - enor mous areas of magnificent agricultural lands, available ' chiefly for wheat, oats, barley and other cereale. The great rivers afford fine opportunities for com mercial development. It has a thous and interests that can only be alluded to." Kueklea'o Arrncs sal-ve.
