We especially commend this work to
the supervisors in charge of the road be
tween this place and Dufur. Since the
publication of the indignant thirteen in
yesterday's Dispatch, many a youthful
eye lingers on a bicycle, and wonders
how soon the roads will permit a trip to
that section. That suggestion concern
cerning the fishing rod covers, is the
cause of it.
There is plenty of snow in the moun
tains on the head of the Columbia and
Snako to give us unusually high water.
The tremendous floods in the Mississippi
and its tributaries, are but an indi

weather observer, Mr. Pague, let the
light of hia intelligence Bhine on us,
and give us a prognostication concern
ing the probabilities of high water in
tho Columbia?

Miss. Botorf, formerly with Mrs.
Briggs, and whose artistic milliner
work at that time called foth much
praise from the wearers hereof, has
again accepted her old position, and as
a result, there are morebeautiful crea
tions than over to be hjfd by The Dalles
ladies. There is onlwone thing prettier
in the world than a spring bonnett, and
that is the dear delightful under it. The
combinotion of the two is simply irre
siatable, especially when The Dalles
furnishes tho latter and Miss Botorf
trims the former.
President Miller, of the Agricultural
college, entertained a largo audience at
tho court house last night, and sent his
hearers home with a much better
opinion of the Agricultural college and
its work than they over had before. He
is a very graceful, as well as strong
speaker, and handled his subject in a
masterly manner. Our fruit growers
appreciate fully the amount of good
there has been done, and the informa
tion they have received, and will long
hold President Miller and Professor
Cordley in kindly remembrance therefor.

FREE LECTURES.

lit 8 O'clock.
Commencing Monday night Dr. Del-Mac-Claise,
the eminent lecturer and
examiner in chief for the Oriental Med
ical Syndicate of San Francisco and Cal
cutta, will give a series of illustrated
lectures in costume on the laws of life
and health, the origin, prevention and
cure of disease, and give demonstrations
of human occult forces. Wednesday
afternoon at 3 o'clock private lecture for
ladies only, and Wednesday evening at
8 o'clock men only. The San Francisco
Examiner Bays of the lectures: "The
lectures are not only replete with the
grandest ideas, but the speaker illus
trates hia subject with artistic colored
crayonings. His gorgeous oriental cos
tumes and typical scenery are pleasing
to the eye. At the close of each lecture
be gives an exhibition of his peculiar
powers that eclipse the miracles of hyp
notism or mind reading."

A reporter on last night's Telegram
did a mean tiling. lu writing up the
trial of the Ellsworth poisoning case he
describes the successful efforts of the at
torney to mal e a witness tell her age.
He tells the story as follows :
While the female export -was on the
stand for the defense she was called
upon to testify as to her experience in
chemistry. When Mr. Lord was cross
examining her he asked :
"How much experience have you had
as a chemist?
"About thirteen years," she replied.
"How old were you when you begun
to Btudy it?" Lord carelessly asked.
"Just 13 years younger than I am
now," Mrs. Hampton sweetly and
shrewdly answered. This evasion of
the question of tbo witness' age wus
hailed with a general laugh.
Mr. Bloomiield fired up and wanted
to know what tho district attorney was
driving at.
"I wanted to know," said Lord sooth
ingly, "if she was at a competent and
understanding age when she begun
to atndy chemistrv. How old are you,
Mrs. Hampton?"
The witness appealed to the court.
"Must I answer?" she pleaded.
"You must," said Judge Stephens
with a cruel smile.
At the noon adjournment Judge
Stephens announced that lie wanted the
final arguments done by tomorrow even
ing. Tho question is, how old was she?
