China New Year began at midnight
last night, but so far has not proven to
be so hilarious aa usual. Hard times are
felt in Chinatown the same as every
where else.
Mr. Lucius Clark of Biggs brought the
remains of his sister, Mrs. C. F. Baker,
up from Portland Saturday night, and
the funeral took place at the Methodist
church yesterday afternoon.
A. C. Sanford was at Arlington Satur

Office in the Vogt block. '
At the last regular meeting of The
Dalles Lodge No. 2, 1. O.G. T., officers
were elected for the ensuing quarter.
Next Saturday night the lodge will give
a public installation, to which all are
invited. An excellent program is being
prepared for the occasion.
A hugcmollusk is ashore near St. Au
gustine, Fla., which weighs fully eight
tons. Some claim that it was once a
denizen of Arctic seas, but that point
has not been decided. Photographs of
the molluek will be sent to the Smith
sonian Institution for the purpose of
classification.

a dispatch from Washington today
says: "Senator McBride has reported
favorably from the committee on public
lands, Senator Mitchell's bill, extending
the time for payment by settlers on for
feited lands. It is expected that the
bill can pass both booses at this session,
It will be signed because the interior de
partment has recommended it, and has
suspended entries on the lands pending
the passage.
Pretty Carrie Bacon, sged 9, has jest
wen discharged from a New York hos
pital, alter a tryiag ordeal. Early, in
December she met with an accident,
which split her lip, tore her ear, knocked
her entire upper jaw back to the palate,
andecattered nine teeth. Three sur
geons and a dentist sewed and mended,
upholstered her month, replanted her
teeth, and finally discharged the girl
without a scar, just as good as new
The Washington legislature has a com
mittee engaged in trying to discover
how much Turner paid for his son.Uor
ship. The committee has its scoop net
out, but so far has failed to scoop any
thing with it. Turner himself was be
fore the committee and testified to
spending 4,300 for oyster suppers and
other necessary expenses. That's all
that has been discovered, all that
will be.
The money secured bv the Elks has
been divided among the needy, and has
done much towards affording relief; but
the amount is, or was, entirely inade
quate to relieve all deserving it. There
is really much more destitution in Tim
Dalles than anyone is aware of, for the
simple reason that those in need are not
beggars, and so try to live upon little or
nothing. The charitably-inclined can
find plenty of worthy places to put their
money right here at home.
Saturday telegrams were received by
the Democratic and Populist members
of the legislature in Portland to return
to Salem at once, and most of them
did so. Saturday night Republican
members were also telegraphed to be on '
hand Monday morning, sure. From
this it seems probable something was in
the wind for today, but what, no man
knoweth. It is safe to say that some
action will be taken, and decisive action
at that before Wednesday night.
Will Davis had a narrow escape from
being killed, or at least seriously injured,
at the Newport mine, in Coos county, I
last week. He is employed as a driver,
and when coming out with a car of coal,
stumbled and fell on the track in front
of the car. His bead and part of his
body were caught under the car, but,
after being dragged about fifty feet, he
managed to extricate himself. He was
cut on the forehead, and received some
bruises, but nothing of a serious nature.
It was reported Thursday that the
Fishermen's Protective Union cannery
had sent an order to Portland for lumber
with which to build its new plant, on
the strength of the $5000 caBh subsidy
subscribed, says the Astorian. It is
aUo understood that' the Ciatsop Mill
Company, for lack of orders, will tem
porarily close down or run only on quar
ter time, which will result in throwing
out of work a number of fishermen who
depend upon the mill for employment in
the winter time.
James Cloughton, an old resident of
Curry county, and a rancher bn Rogue
river, near the mouth of the Illinois,
was drowned recently in Shasta Costa
creek, a tributary of Rogue river. It
seems he and William Nordburg at
tempted to wade the creek. The creek
was very deep and swift, and they got
beyond their depth. Nordburg had
Cloughton by the hand, but the latter,
in his struggles, was about to drown
then both, and Nordburg was forced to
release his bold to save himself. The
body was recovered.
They are introducing office girls in
Chicago, and those who have them in
their employ are well pleased with them.
They say that the office girl is superior
to the office boy in many particulars.
In the first place she does not smoke
cigarettes, and she does not whijtle.
As a rule she has absolutely no taste for
dime novels. She is usually bright,
quick and energetic, and ever so much
cleaner and neater than a boy can be.
Testimony upon this point is almost
unanimous, and most of those who .have
tried office girls declare that never again
will they have an office boy around the
I remises.
The sleighing was excellent Saturday,
and the jingling bells could be heard up
to a late hour. There was one runaway
about 9 o'clock in the evening. Two
young gentlemen were out for a sleigh
ride, and, in the goodness of their hearts,
had ebared their sleigh with a couple of
young ladies whom they were taking
nome. At the corner of Fourth and
Liberty, the sleigh struck a rock, and
the horses broke loose from it and ran

Don't "Lick" Envelopes.
People who "lick" envelopes run a
great risk. The glue on them is made
from decaying scraps around slaughter
houses. To run the tongue over it ex
poses one to the risk of blood poisoning.
The other day a young girl In the East
wrote a letter to her sweetheart and in
sealing the missive moistened the en
velope with her tongue. A. few hoars
liarward she was dead. She died of
blooding-poisoning. Do not lick stamps
and envelones. or run the tongue over
glue or mucilage surfaces of any kind.

Spokane's It If Hoy.
The biggest boy in the world lives in
Spokane, says the Chronicle. His name
is Eddie Black. He is six feet, three
inches tall, and is now 14 years and six
months Old and growing like any other
healthy boy.
Until about two years ago he was
rather a delicate boy. His chief diet
was bread, water and tea, In fact, up
on this he lived and thrived. He could
not eat meat or vegetables. In the last
two years, however, his appetite has de
manded more substantial food. He has
grown strong and vigorous. Indeed, he
is well proportioned. The last pair of
shoes he bought were No. 12.. Now they
are pinching his feet, and his next ones
must be No. 13, and be made to order.
Eddie is .light complexioned, quiet,
and as his father says, a good boy. He
proposes some day to become a brick
mason like his father. But this far in
life be has spent his time in school. He
has attended the Franklin buildiirg,
where his tall, stalwart form is a familiar
sight among the other children of his uge
and grade.
Fortune Frowns ou Murk Twain.
Few of the many friends of "Mark
Twain" (Samuel L. Clemens) know of
the plucky fight he is making with ad
versity, or how badly he has been used
by fortune, says a London cable.
'In a word, Mark Twain, who a few
years ago thought himself a rich man, is
today worse than penniless.
Since his return from Africa a few
months ago, he has been living in very
modest lodgings in London, going no
where and seeing but one or two friends ,
working all day and every day at a his
tory of his trip around the world.
With the proceeds of this book he
hopes to be able to pay off his creditors
and leave something for his family.
Mark Twain lost practically every
thing when Webster & Co. failed, and
the lecture trip around the world, which
he undertook with the hope of retriev
ing his fortune, did not turn out a finan
cial success for him.
So, over 60 years of age, in poor
health and in a strange country, Amer
ica's greatest humorist is perhaps work
ing harder than ever before.
Loses Ills Wife's Affection.
An action of $25,000 damages for alien
ating a wife's affections has been begun
in the common pleas court by Graham
Clarke, manager of the Lenox Company,
against Henry T. Sandford, treasurer of
the Cleveland, Loraine & Wheeling
Railroad Co. The lawyers in the case
tried to suppress the title of this case
and the papers in court, hut the thing
came to light, notwithstanding. Clarke
alleges that Sandford, who was formerly
an inmate of his home, won Mrs.
Clarke's affections, and when he found
it out be ordered the man away. Sand
ford simulated sickness and took to his
bed. One day when Clarke was down
town the alleged invalid arose from his
bed, and he and Mrs. Clarke left the
house, she going to her mother's and he
to her sister's, next door, where they
are still living. All the parties are so
cially prominent.
Fortune of a Miclilgau Man,
The story of Thomas Hall's good for
tune is attracting much attention atLud
ington, Mich. His father and mother
separated in Chicago 28 years ago.
The father died soon afterward, and
the mother went to New York City,
where, five years ago she left a fortune
of $2,000,000 made by real estate specu
lation.
The other children were easily found.
A Chicago lawyer learned from an old
letter that the father bad left his boy
(here, and by, means of a birthmark
Hall was idea tided. His share is about
$50,000. a yeer. He is farmer and bad

- Dealuesa Cannot be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to euro deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
flamed you havo a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en
tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will bo destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous sur
faces. Wo will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars; free.
