Mr. Louis Coiainl has juat finished setting up a monument at the grave of Owen Williams that is one of the most beautiful in the cemetery. It ia of nandBomo blue marble, stands on a double column and contains the emblems of the Odd Fellows, Elks and Knights I'ythias. The monument is ten feet six incheB in height, and the finish Is Perfect. Mr. Stubllng, who had the monument erected, js highly pleaEed with the work, and has ordered a etone curbing built around the grounds. It is a piece of work that would be a credit to any place, and which commends Mr. Comini's skill in a manner that words could not do. The river is stationary this morninc at 27.4, with indications of a slight rise. Since the middle of April the stage of the water this year and in 1894, have been practically about the same. That is, about the same amount of water haB been carried down in that time. The weather conditions have also been very similar. Whether there will be high water depends entirely on the weather conditions. If it remains steadily warm the result will be seen in a big flood, but we do not anticipate it. As a special attraction on Tuesday evening (ladies' night) The Dulles Com mercial Club has secured Edison's ani matoscope. Mr. John Wilbur will ex hibit his entire collection of animated pictures, with a brief descriptive lecture on the method of photographing aud re producing on canvas the natural moving life-like figures as produced by Edison's masterpiece the animatoscope. This is scientific, entertaining and amusing, and is worthy of a full attendance of the members of the club and their ladies. Wonderful, marvelous, startling, is the verdict of all who have seen the machine and its results. Don't miss it.

We received yeeterday a communica tion from Hood River roasting some of the young people who werit from here on a picnic to that pretfy little town Saturday. The cause of the article was the break ing down of the, flu me leading from the spring to the reservoir that eupplles the town with water, about 150 feet of flume being knocked down and the boxes broken. The result was that the town was left without a drop of water from about 3 o'clock in theafternoon until after 9. Our correspondent lays the blame of this on the young people who took their luncheon and spent the day in the beautiful grove at the Bpring, and supposes this was done maliciously. If this were true, we could find no fault witli the harshness of his com ments. We have examined into the matter and find that the breaking of the I flume (according to the statements of ! the young folks who were there, and ! whom we believe implicitly) was an ac cident pure and simple. The young people, or some of them, were climbing ovejv'the flume when it fell. They did o know the spring sup plied water to,thc town, but supposed it led to some oi the berry patches and was used for irrigating purposes. Had they known it supplied the town they would have at once informed the people thereof of the accident, but as they did not know where the water went, they could not inform the parties whom it belonged to. In conversation with the writer hereof they expressed deep regretithat they had inconvenienced the Hood River people, and the hope that their expla nation will prove a sufficient excuse. They had a delightful day, and would not have the recollections of it marred with the thought that they had incurred the ill will of Hood River's good people. Notice is hereby given, that for the purpose of making an examination of all persons who may oiler themselves as candidates for teachers of the schools of this county, the county school superin tendent thereof, will hold a public ex amination at the county court house in Dalles City, beginning Wednesday, May 12th, at 1 o'clock p. m.

Entered into rest May 2d, Sally Brown Magee, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Smith French. Born at Andover, N. H., Feb. 10th, 1812, the pilgrim feet had trod the paths of life So years, 2 months, 12 days, but she was not weary nor tired. She ar dently loved thielife; "ThiB world, this beautiful world," and often-expressed the wish to see her great grandson a man. The descendant of thorough Puritan stock, she possessed many of the rugged traits of the early pilgrim character. These rugged ways were tempered by a lively disposition, active imagination, and passionate love for all things beau tiful and true. She loved very much the young, their society being prefered to the old, and she would have been happy to ever have had her home full of young, joyous life. Up to her death all current events interested her ; not a mere passing interest, they must be dis cussed, fully explained, dally inquiry, showing she did not let it pass out of mind, In 1821 her father emigrated to Stan- stead, Canada, where she was married and her children, a daughter and boh, were born. She loved her Canadian home with a devotion so deep that twenty years' reeidence here did not di minish one atom of her regard. At 22 years she became a member of the Wesleyan Methodist church, and as long as life lasted she loved and enjoyed the usages, polity and doctrines of the Methodist church. The infirmities or the body pressed her heavily, but with courage and determin ation she firmly resisted their encroach ments. On Friday morning, soon after rising, she wab taken suddenly ill and suffered extremely. After a couple of hours Bhe cried out in great distress, asking to be raised up. In a few min utes she was seized by an epileptic fit, bo passing into unconsciousness. The convulsion ceasing, she fell into a quite peaceful slumber, which continued un til Sabbath morning, when she opened her eyes, and although speechless, was seemingly conscious, her gaze following all the movements of her loved ones. A little after 11 the watchers saw she was passing into the "Valley of the shadow." There was no struggle, only a gentle unloosing of the bands of life. The silver cord parted, the chariot of God swung down, and eternal npon burBt upon her vision. "Forever with the Lord. Amen! ho let it be." I. A (iitHillii Kxi1mI-iI. A remarkable accident happened to J. P. Irvine, in McMinnville, on Monday. He was working in the woodshed at his home, being at the time pounding with a hatchet upon the floor. A bottle con taining a quart of gasoline, standing upon the shelf of a cupboard close by, was dislodged by the jarring and came down with a crash right in the place where he was working. The concussion ignited the fluid, which flashed up sud denly, almost filling the room with flame. Fortunately none of the gaso line got on his clothes, and he escaped other injury than his eyebrows, whisk ers and hair were pretty well singed. During the next two or three minutes great activity was required to Bubdno the Haines aud prevent destructive con flagration. Tim Trim ICt-muily. W. M. Repine, editor Tiekilwu.
