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.
Dated this lat day of May, 1897.

Death of Mm. Uuge.
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 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. III.,
"Chiif," eays: "We won't keep house
without Dr. King's New Discovery for
Consumption, Coughs and Colds. Ex
perimented with many others, but never
got the true remedy until we iued Dr.
King's New Ditcovery. No other rem
edy can take its place in our home, us
in it we have certain and sure cure for
Coughe, Colds, Whooping Cough, etc."
It is idle to experiment with other rem
edies, even if they are urged on you as
just as good as Dr. King's New Discov
ery. They are not as good, because this
remedy has a record of cures aud besides
is guaranteed. It never fails to satisfy.
