The United Artisans will not meet to
morrow (Wednesday) night, on account
of many of the members wishing to at
tend the Yaw concert.
The handsome photograph of The
Dalles hose team, .on exhibition at the

Herrin.
If laughing hurts you, or you feel, for
any reason, that you really should not
laugh, be sure to stay away from the Si
Perkins show tonight, or your face will
smile in spite of you.

The Si Perkins Pughtown baud is a
daisy, sure. As the members went
wandering around the streets yesterday
afternoon they attracted a great deal of
attention, and when they gathered at
the intersection of i Washington and
Second and began playing, everybody
flocked to hear them. For a half hour
they paralyzed business in the Dalles,
more thoroughly than a Bryan boom
and a 16 to 1 campaign.
Last evening a number of young peo
ple met at the home of Miss Ethel Dem
ing, and after ascertaining that every
. lady had succeeded in Bafely conduct
ing the leap year young man thus far,
' they proceeded to the residence of Mr.
John Parrot, whom they completely
took by surprise. However, the house
and its contents were turned over to
them, and with games, lunch, laughter
and song the evening was delightfully
passed.
The examination of Cooper Douglas,
the young gentlemen who struck James
Fisher. on the head with a pistol at the
dance Christmas night, occupied the at
tention of Justice Filloon this morning.
Attorneys Phelps and Gates represented
the State, and J. L. Story the defendant.
After hearing the testimony, the justice
concluded the offense had been com
mitted and bound Douglas over to ap
pear before "the grand jury, with bonds
fixed in the sum of $200. This is more
fan for the fellow who turned out the
lights.
The case of J. A. White vs. O. D.
Taylor occupied nearly the entire day.
The case grows out of the eale of some
stock in the Columbia River Fruit Co.
by the defendant to the plaintiff, with a
guarantee that the money should be re
turned if the Btock was not satisfactory.
The jury, after being out several hours,
returned a verdict of $120.50 for the
plaintiff. Mr. Taylor will appeal the
case to the supreme court. John F.
O'Keefe appeared for the plaintiff and F.
E. Emerick and James H. Davitt for the
defendant. Saginaw Courier-Herald.
Tuesday evening while Mr. J. M.
Roth was returning from The Dalles,
by way of Endersby, he met with an ac
cident that came very near being seri
ous. His team of young horses had at
tained considerable speed as they came
down the Endersby hill near R. Sig-
man's, when the pole to the hack
dropped to the ground, which af
frighted the horses and they .be
came unmanageable. Mr. Roth was
precipitated to the ground with great vio
lence, sustaining a severe scalp wound,
which dazed him for some time. Upon
his arrival in Dufnr, Dr. Dietrich
dressed the wound, and now Mr. Roth
appears to be as sound as ever. The
pole to the hack was broken, and .the
barnees in several places, also, but the
horses were not materially injured.
JUDGE SNOW'S. RULING.
Must Explain to ike Supreme Court
Why He Quashed the Case.
Judge Snow of Saginaw anashed the
information against Rev. O. D. Tavlor
for obtaining money by false pretense,
on me ground that Act 334 of 1895, re
pealed the section of Howell's providing
1 . r . i .
penalty lor tnis odense. The fact of
this ruling was that prosecutions .for
offenses of this kind, committed prior to
Sept. 1st, 1895, when the new act took
effect, are barred. Yesterdav the su
preme court issued a peremDtorv writ.
ordering Judge Snow to set aside his
oraer and proceed with the trial or show
canse forthwith why he should not be
compelled to do eo. The court called
his attention to the
People vs. Hinney, in which thev held
directly contrary' to his ruling. Sagi

Christmas at Endersby.

The entertainment and supper at this
place Christmas eve was a grand success.
The house, was well filled, and each
one's part was well performed. There
was an abundance of pop corn, apples,
peanuts and candy, and after the exer
cises the tables were spread, and every
body's part was well performed there,
too. After supper a number of tine se
lections were rendered by local vocalists
and then came the parting.

PERSONAL MESIIOS,
Over a year ago, while Miss Yaw. was
abroad, there was a very conspicuous
article published in the New York Her
ald, a column in length, headed' as
above. It discussed that voice as hav
ing the greatest compass of any soprano
recorded by history a ranee of nearlv
four octaves, from G below the staff to j
E in alt., and expressed surprise that a
voice reaching such an altitude should
possess such breadth and beautiful qual
ity of tone in. the lower and medium
register. .
Later we heard more of this phenom
enal voice through the Parisian papers,
which spoke of her as having a power
fully high and extraordinarily crystal
line soprano, with wonderfully bird-like
notes, which rose and fell with the pre
cision and "rondeur" that French peo
ple characteristically compare to falling
pearls. Not only did they comment up
on the extent of, this young girl's voice,
but upon the sympathetic quality and
strength of the medium tones, and the
perfect ease with which she sang.

The Si Perkins band attracted a large
crowd again today. The leader, Profes
sor Hulkins, has been sick for two weeks
and unable to attend to his duties, but
the band furnishes some fine music
without his assistance. The - play to
night is "Our Old Kentucky Home," a
sensational comedy, with the scenes lo
cated in Kentucky and California. Si
Perkins will make you laugh, sure, and
tonight will be the last opportunity to
hear him. The price of admission has
been reduced to 50 cents all over the
house; children 25 cents, and no extra
charge for reserved seats.
