Hie band, although only recently re organized, furnished some excellent music yesterday and contributed largely to making the day pass pleasantly for our visitors. Prof. G. II. Dunn, principal of the Athena public schools, and who read law with Huntington & Wilson of The Dalles, has been admitted to the bar as attorney and counselor at law at Pendle ton. The Congregational church yesterday morning "did itself proud" m not only making a determined effort to raise money to pay off the church debt, but "y raising it. The sain of $011 was raised in a few moments, and the entire church debt liquidated. A number of gentlemen have been busily engaged today placing a large tent in position on the lot owned by Mr. G.

Williams & Co.'p big window yesterday was the center of attraction for hours, a crowd blocking the side walk to such an extent that pedestrians had to take to the street. Tbe window was decorated with Indian blankets, bows, arrows, quivers, etc.and two little tepeee, wigwams, wick-e-upa, or what ever they might be called, were made, and occupied one by a verj pretty young Indian girl, the other by an older squaw and a cunning little beady-eyed pap pooHe. It was a catchy advertisement. It is now pretty well settled that William Jennings Bryan will visit Ore gon some time in July, and will make several speeches in the state. He speaks at Los Angeles July 7th, and will remain in California a week or more before yIb iting Oregon. He has only one subject upon which he speaks, and that is, of courso, the free coinage of silver. Remember tbe blind phrenologist's lecture thiB evening at the courthouse. Admission free.

Duffy of Waukon, Iowa, was murdered at that place on the night of April 27th by a burglar who entered his store, where Mr. Duffy had a. sleeping room, and whom he evident ly attempted to prevent from accom plishing his purpose, Mr. Duffy, who was 33 years of age, was a brother of Miss Alice Duffy, formerly a teacher in tbe public schools of this city, and the many friends of that young lady, who remember of her more than unusual affection for this brother, will sympathy deeply with her in this great sorrow. The river this morning stood at 3G.6, a rise of exactly four feet since Saturday morning. At 1 o'clock it had reached the 37 mark, and reports from up-river points indicate there is enough water on the way down to add five feet more. By Thursday morning a pretty accurate idea of the ultimate height to be reached can be given, but it is not probable it will go above the 46-foot mark, and cer tainly not abovo 50 feet. The latter mark would bring it almost to railroad track. In our opinion there is no danger whatever of water high enough to inter fere with railroad traffic, or to do any material damage. Some time ago James Brown had a row with a cripple iu the east end of town and gave him a Eevere beating. A warrant was sworn out for his ariest, but he skipped. This afternoon about 3:45, Constable Hill saw him near E. J. Collins & Co.'s and undertook to serve the warrant, Brown resisted and started to get away, when Hill pulled his pistol and took a snap bhot at him. The bul let probably went high, but at any rate Brown stuck his gaffs into his cayuso, (he was on horseback at the time,) and if he kept up the gait at which he struck the brewery grade, he is bv this time due at La Grande. THAT BIG EXCURSION. Twenty-Mx Concht-x, 11)00 People, mill 800 Tinned Away. Best or not best money back, anyway, if you don't like them. Yesterday was a gala day for The Dalles. By 11 o'clock the crowd began to gather in front of the Umatilla, where it remained good naturedly until the first section of the excursion train pulled in at 12:25. As the train pulled iu the band welcomed the visitors with some lively music, and iu a moment, the streams of merry people began pouring out of the cars. Nearly all of the visi tors had acquaintances here and the greetings and handshakings were innu merable. A quarter of an hour later the second section came in with fourteen cars, the first being twelve, and the same scenes were enacted over again. The crowd was hungry and about the first thing it. did was to scatter in search of dinner. The Umatilla house was prepared for them, feeding over 700, and the other hotelB and restaurants were all kept busy, though double the number could have been taken care of. When tbi3 part of the program was over, the people scatteied over the town, enjoying the shaded streets and admir ing the pretty lawns and door yards. Many attended the ball game, and had the pleasure of seeing one of the best games of amateur ball ever put up on tho coast. Portland has a -fine team of ex cellent ball players, but our boys with very little practice, played them a very qlose game, the score being 6 to 4 in favor of the visitors. Our boys played almost an erroileas game in the field, but showed weakness at the bat and on the base running. They also had a swifter pitcher than they ever faced be fore and he fanned out many of them, but good work kept the visitors' score down. It was one of the prettiest games ever played in tho state, and our boys may well feel proud of their work. There was considerable of a breeze for an hour or two and about 4 o'clock a light rain began falling, which caused the crowd to seek shelter and soon the Umatilla und Columbia hotels were filled and the covered sidewalk on First street furnished shelter for several hun dred. The first section pulled out at 5 o'clock, the second twenty minutes later, each being sent off with a hearty cheer that was as heartily responded to, and the visit was over. It was an unusually ordeily crowd, there being no disturbance of any kind during the whole day, and The Dalles hopes to soon again have the pleasure of another visit. It is said The Dalles j weather always kicks up a "bobbery" upon such occasions, and if the rain was due to the visit of our Portland brethren, we owe them something, for it was of inestimable benefit. rectors met, accepted the resignation and unanimously elected Professor Landers as his successor. Since that time the anangements made by Profes sor Gavin fell through, and he concluded to follow the profession of teaching an other year before taking up the law.

Shortly after the board of di- Tho funeral of tho late Mre. William Rufeno took place yesterday from the Congregational church, Rev. W. C. Cur tis conducting the services. The Degree of Honor, Eastern Star and Relief Corps were all in attendance, marching from their halls to the house, and thence to the church. Tho body, enclosed in a white casket, was borne into the church and was covered with white and delicato I pink floral tributes from sympathetic : and sorrowing friends. Rev. Curtis sjioke very feelingly, and there were few dry eyea in the house when he paid a fitting tribute to the worth of tho dead. Preceding tho sermon the choir sung "Come unto Mo when shadows darkly full," and following it "There is a home eternal." The services at the grave were very brief, and when tho mound was heaped, it was covered with masses of flow'ers, the silent farewells of loving friends. ' Richard L. Kelling, the young book keeper who was arrested by Detectives Holsapplo and Reilley Friday afternoon on a charge of embezzling $3000 from the Grafton & Knight Manufacturing Company, was artaigued in the munici pal court yesterday afternoon, liis at torney, Mr. George C. Stout, requested a continuance of his case till Wednesday, which was grunted. Kelling's bonds have been fixed at $3000, and he has thus far been unable to furnish any. He spent yesterday in his coll in the wo men's quarters of tho city jj.il. and dur ing the afternoon a number of his young lady friends called to see him, but only a few were admitted, und those but for a few minutes.
