It is hard to tell the facts The Greatest Allnlr of the Kind Ever Given In The Dalles.- ,The charity ball given by theE'ks last, night was undoubted!? the most success- Kful affair of the kindever inven in The Dalles.. Tn. The grand marcliomnSmced at about 9 o'clock, forty-one couples participat ing, and as they moved around in the graceful figures of the march, we could hardly believe that all the. female loveli ness there gathered belonged to The Dalles. The gowns were beautiful, the wearerB more so. the music magnificent. What more would you want? The floor, though not a good one for dancing, was in excellent condition, and it was kept fil'ed with the happiestcrowd of dancers ever gathered in The Dalles. Each of the ladies was handsomer tban the others always excepting, of course, the one, who is always prettiest to that gen tleman who admirers her, and conse quently we have our own opinion as to who was the "belle of the ball," but we are not going to express it, not for the world. Ani" o'clock, as is the custom of the Elks, the memory of the absent breth ren was recalled, and as this ceremony was completed by circling around the hall with hands clasped, at the same time singing "Auld Lang Syne," the hall rang again with the vigorous ap plause. The hall was beautifully decorated. The front of the stage was covered with ferns and plants, while just to the left of the center of it the big Elk stood, his majestic form gracefully posed and head drawn back as 1 bough he had been startled by suddenly coming on to i dance of dryads. His big horns eup ported four incandescent lamps, shaded with the Elks colors, the roval purple. Ju6t in front of him was a cute little fawn, that gazed in open-eyed wonder on the brilliant scene. Dancing was kept up until about 1 o'clock, and everybody went home de lighted with, their evening's pleasure. The committees have, not gotten to gether to report yet, but a close estimate puts the receipts at $200 and expenses at $70, leaving $130 for sweet charitv. MR. GRATKE'S STATEMENT.

It is made by patented pro cess, jl v24-ii Shortly after the house had organized yesterday a reporter of the Statesman in congratulating Representative Gratke upon the position he had taken in as sisting in the organization of the house, saw an opportunity for a good interview. "Mr. Gratke," eald the reporter, "you are accused by the Bourne faction of as. Bisting in.the organization of a Republi can house. How will your action be looked upon by your Democratic constit uency?" "If you will amend the accusation by Btriking out the word 'Republican,' I will plead guilty. I am a member of the 'house of representatives,' and was elect ed to it in a county that went for Mc- Kinley and Hobart by 714 majority. My j majority was 300. This will prove to I you conclusively that . I received some ! votes that were not cast by Democrnts. I wbb nominated bv tho county Demo cratic convention, and so far as their political interests can be served on the ibroad basis of Democratic principles I 'am with the party at all times, but on Sail measures affecting the efficient nnd Jecnomical administration of govern iment I am here as a business 'man and toot as a machine politician. I was out With the obstructionists five days. They promised me that they had a sufficient number of members to organize the house and pass such remedial legislation ap our party platform called for. Dur ing those five days an opportunity for organization came, and it was not em braced. My suspicions were aroused, and I inquired why the thirty-one ob structionists did not organize. They said they were not ready. I asked them when they would be, and tho reply was hey did" not know. 1 waH deceived ; and urther inquiry revealed to me the fact, hat tho object of the hold-up was to ob struct business iii the houee and prevent the election of a United States penator by a dominant party in the legislature. I was not sent by my people to tiie legis lature for that purpose. I was sent here to assist in the enactment of such legis lation as will heuefit the people of Clat sop county and the taxpayers of the state generally. Now I would like to know how that could be done if wo stayed out and prevented organization? It must be done by law, and there is ,no way to enact law except by first organizing both houses. When a candidate accepts a nomination I take it that he says to the people, 'If elected I will take my seat.' If I had told the people on the stump that I would not take my seat, my name would have been Donnis, and the other fellow would be heio in my place. It is my firm belief and convic tion the fight over organization paseed the partisan stage when the thirty-onu obstructionists refused to go in and or ganize, I feel that way about anything in business or politics. I forgo aiiead. Many of my constituents have approved my course by letter and telegraph. If I am wrong I am conteni to be snowed un der, if it becomeB my misfortune to run for office. This much I will say for tiie rank and file of the Populist party : They are honest and patriotic, but I am afraid they have entered into an unholy alliance with H. W. Scott & Co. to satis fy personal hate and political ambition, which may he their undoing. As to tho Democrats of course they are always right."

A gentleman who has just returned from Salem called on us this mornintr. and requests us to say that at that point is "the greatest hold-up in the North west. That, to use his language, "Salem is holding up the state buildlntrs. the legislature is holding up the people, the highwaymen are holdinir un its resi dents, the hotels are holding un the vli- itors, and the bicyclists have the right of way on the sidewalks ; but yet there are some good people in Salem," Few peoplo know thut all plants con tain digestive principals). They cannot absorb their food until it is digested any more than animals can. Tho Mount Lobauon Shakers have learned the art of extracting and utilizing thedu dilut ive principals, and it is just for litis reason that their Shaker Digestive Cor dial is meeting with such phenomenal success in the teeatment of dyspepsia, The Shaker Digestive Cordial not only contains food already digested, but it also contains digestive principals which aid the digestion of other foods that may be eaten with it, A single 10 cent sam ple bottle will be sufficient to demon stratUs value, and we suggest that every suffering dyspeptic make a trial of it.
