The docket for this term of court is a
remarkably short one.
At the city council meeting Saturday
night six lots w ere ordered sold.
The city jail had one inmate last night,
a man who teems to be off his balance
mentally.
The hiprhways aiemid to be, by those
who travel them, simply the abomina
tion of desolation.
..-N
Mood Kiver has a delegation of half a
dozen of its leading citizens here to take
part in the business of the courtB.
What was the matter with the wea
ther today? If it wasn't a harbinger
(whatever that is) of spring, what'was
it?
Miss Gladys Jones nnd Miss Harriet
Stevens, nssisted by local talent, in con
cert tomorrow eveninc at the Congrega
tional church. Admission CO cents.
A. M. Williams & Co. are offering the
balance of their stock of children's and
misses' jackets and long cloaks at one
hnlf price. All ladies' jackets at actual
cost.
Professor S. J. McMillan, the second
Sandow, will give an exhibition of his
feats of strength nt the Commercial
Club rooms tonight, and all members are
requested to be present.
The circuit court term has brought
quite a number of citizens ftom the out
side precincts to do service as jurors,
among them our old friend, C. W.
Haight, who livos down on the borders
of Crook county.
Do not fail to call on Dr. Lannerberg,
the eye specialist, and have your eyeB
examined free of chare. If you suffer
with headache or nervousness you un
doubtedly have imperfect vision that, if
corrected, will benefit you for life.
Office in the Vogt block.
The Nowberg Graphic is responsible
fortius almost incredible story: "As
strange as it may appear in this day and
age of the world, a man walked into tbia,
office the other day and tendered the
proprietor the loan of $300 or $400. It
waB not uccepted either."
The Woman's Relief Corps having
changed their meeting night to the sec
ond and fourth Monday of each month,
will hold their regular meeting this eve
ning at Fraternity hall, at 7 :30 oclock.
All members are requested to be present.
The G. A. R. post and their families are
invited guests for this evening.
Tommy Conger killed on Pine creek,
in Grant county, recently, a monster
gray eagle, positively one of the largest
ever captured in that county. Its wings
meaured 8 feet 2 inches from tip to tip.
tne bird was large enough to carry a
child, its claws measuring 8 inches from
tip to tip, one of its spurs being 3
inches in length.
Yesterday morning Mrs. Esther Al-'
mina Reno, wile of George Reno, died at
her home at Mosier from consumption.
She has beeu sick for some time, and
was about 43 years of age at the time of
her death. Deceased was a daughter of
Mr. John Miler. The funeral will take,
place from the family residence at Mo.
sier tomorrow at 12 o'clock.
The soft weather for the last few days
has been causing considerable annoy
ance to the train men on the Elgin
branch of the O. R. & N., by loosening
rocke in the canyon south of Elgin,
These loosened rocks, some of them
weighing several hundred pounds, roll
down on the track, causing the trains to
stop until they aro rolled out of the
way.
A story is going the rounds in Uma
tilla county to the effect that Joe Hinkle,
a school teacher at Juniper, probably J
owes his life to some of his scholars.
The report has it that, ilr. Hinkle fell
asleep with his feet in' the stove during
school recess last .'week, and his shoes
and trousers wereybn fire when some of
his echolurs rrfshed in, roused their
teacher, and saved him.
The lecture Sunday night at the Vogt,
by Mrs. Clara Hoffman, was well attend
ed and is very hizhlv comnlimnnted.
Mrs. Hoffman in handling the temper
ance question puts it in an entirely new
and very taking light. Such lectures as
her's do more good for the cause, than
a thousand of the old Btereotvned kind
with a feartul example as a text, and a
pale faced widow with nine small chil
dren as a moral.
Veni vidi and went away perfectly
satisfied and fully conviueed that men
are still capable of holding the reins of
government, even in domestic matters.
When is all this? Next Friday, Feb.
12th, nt 7 :30 p. m., in the auditorium of
M. E. church there will be a literary
and . musical program by some of the
best male talent in The Dalles. After
the program, refreshments will be
served, consisting of clam chowder,
coffee, cake and sandwiches. Remember
that all cooking and service will be per
formed by the men. All ladies are
asked to give this special notice and to
bring well sharpened appetites.
Doorkeeper Blundell is a very small
man ; but he ha3 a reputation for wit
which survives past sessions of the legis
lature, of several of which he has been
a member from Douglas county. Blun
dell got into a friendly controversy the
other day about the occupations of the
residentB of Yaquina bay. "Lazy?"
said Blundell. "They're the laziest and
sleepiest people on earth. They live on
raw oysters, and when the tide has
ebbed the table's set. Their pulse is
like a clam's, and beats once in live
minutes. They wake up juBt once in
two years, and then it's only to inquire
if congress lias passed the river and har
bor bill." Of course, Blundell was Bim
ply jesting.
The Saturday Review says that when
he was in Egyyt, Mark Twain hired two
Arabs as guides to take him to the pyra
mids. He was familiar enough with
Arabic, he thought, to understand and
be understood with perfect ease. To his
consternation, he found that he could
not comprehend a word that either of
the guides uttered. At the pyramids he
met a friend, to whom he made known
his dilemma. It was very mysterious,
Twain though. "Why, the explanation
is simple enough," eaid the friend.
"Please enlighten me, then," said
Twain. "Why, you Bhould have hired
younger men. These old fellowB have
lost their teeth, and, of course, they
don't speak Arabic. They speak gum
Arabic."
Good Templars hall was crowded Sat
urday nieht on the occasioniof the pub
lic-installation of officers forthe ensuing
term. After the installation ceremonies
were completed, a fine program was ren
dered, and later a genera,! good time was
had and a lunch generously served.

Junius Crosby, a Bos'on drummer,
gave the Oregonian a great fill about
getting capsized in the Columbia river
at Wyeth recently, the article appearing
in Saturday's paper. If Junius can eat
beans as rapidly as he can Improvise,
there will be a famine in the Hub when
he gets back. There are some slight
discrepancies in his Btory. He Bays he
knew where his friend, Charlie Green,
lived, because his mail was addressed to
Wyeth. There ieno postoffice at Wyeth.
He says he caught a floating railroad lie,
the first piece of drift he came across,
yet it is an impossibility to find a piece
of drift in the river at this time of year.
He Bays he could hear the proverbial
dull roar of the rapids, when they can't
be heard a mile above them at any time.
He Bays that he caught on a boom, put
in the river to catch drift about a mile
above the Cascades ; yet there is no such
boom anywhere below Wyeth. He says
the only man he met at Wyeth was "a
big backwoods-looking fellow, who came
from somewhere and shoved a sack of
mail aboard." As wo have said, Wyeth
has no postoffice, and gets no mail,
trains only stopping when' flagged.
To be brief, Junius CroBby has a
kaleidoscopic imagination, that ought to
eave him a trip to Alaska, where he sayB
he is bound. All he has to do is to give
bis imagination free play, and eave the
price of his ticket. Junius is a dandy.
Kxclteuiuut ut Prineville.
One day last week the usually quiet
village of Prineville was aroused from
its legarthy by an all-round fight, which,
for the number of participants, the ze&t
with which they went at it, the sexes
represented, the lawsuits accruing there
from stands without a peer, says the
Prineville Journal. . The fun was sturted
by Mrs. Delia Frazier taking it upon
herself to give Emmet Holman a hiding
for insulting her. The beleagured party
naturally objected to this treatment,
whereupon Theo. Cadle flew to tho
rescue. Then followed a scene of the
wildest hilarity, a sort of free-for-all
fight. No arrests were made uhtil sev
eral days afterwards, when Theo. Cadle
was called before Recorder Bell, and,
upon hearing, fined $15. Liter he was
again called upon to defend himself, this
time before Justice Biggs and a jury.
George Cline has also been arrested
and will have a hearing next Friday.
It is understood more arrests are to
follow.
Mold-Up
Saturday night Thomas Lacey, who is
the track-walker for the O. R. & N. from
Hood River to Mosier, while crossing a
trestle, was held up by a tramp. The
tramp was hidden under the edge of the
trestle, and as Lacey paesed him he fired
a shot, and then by the time Lacey had
recovered from his surprise, he found
himself covered by a pistol in the hands
of the tramp. He was asked if he bad
any money, and replying in the nega
tive, the tramp went through his pock
eta and finding nothing, took his watch,
which Lacey valued at $40,
The other track-walker was beld up,
probably by the same tramp ; but upon
being called upon to halt, never limped
a bit. He just filed hie own recogniz
ance and helped himself to that kind of
bonds known ns "leg ball." He fled so
fast and so far in fifteen minutes that it
took him a whole day to get back on the
freight traih, but ho saved what prop
erty he had with him.

THE BEAN AUTOMAllC
SPRAY PUMP.
Is, unquestionably, tho most success
ful and perfect working Spraying Device
yet invented.
It is a unsvef snl testimony that more,
aB well as better, work can bo accom
plished with the Bean Spray Pump than
with any other pump on the market.
With this pump one man can charge
the receptable and leave it to direct the
spray just where it is wanted, and thus
with sufficient hose pass from tree to
tree, The solution is delivered in a fine
mist or spray, penetrating every nook
and cornor, thus doing better aud more
effective work than is possible by any
other method, nnd with no waste what
eAer of solution.
