Owing to several circumstances, the
moonlight excursion, which was to have
come off tonight, has been postponed.
The weather is unpropitious, and the
matter has not been sufficiently can
vassed to permit the excursion to come
off without it being a failure.
From the program received of the
Gladstone Park Chautauqua Assembly,
we note that MrB. Alice Hamill-Han-cock,
who formerly had a class in elocu

The rain yesterday morning reached
the country south of us, watering it
well, the rainfall increasing in amount
as iar out as Tygh Kidge, where it was
quite heavy, the -water standing in the
roads when it was over. The Juniper

favored with a good shower last week
that passed over tie.
Mr. 13. S. Huntington is a gentleman
of excellent judgment. The other duy
he was about to purchase a iioree, but
out of an abuudance of caution, con
cluded to drive her first. The horse
traveled all right around town, and Mr.
Huntington concluded he would take
the horse he owned out to the pasture,
having made up his mind to make the
purchase. So he drove out, leading his
buggy horse, but when a couple of miles
from town the horse balked and would
not move a leg. The result was that
the old stand-by was put in the barnees,
and the proposed purchase was led home
behind the buggy. The sale was off.

on the present occasion. We under-,
stand Mayor Menefe'e will not accep
that office again, and candidates do not

Hood River last night, to advise with
Judge Mays concerning taxes. An alias

Oplulon of Wood Ticks.
Sticking to the sagebrush, the grease
wootrond the natives m .Mauieur county
is a species of exodus albipictus, and by
people in a hurry culled wood ticks, says
a Eastern Oregon editor.
They are dipterous, with steel traps
their feet and a diamond-drilling ap
paratus attached to each palptiB. They
eometimes feed on dous, but prefer boys
and printers. They are without wings,
but can jump 300 feet, and when they
get beneath your pajamas, the damage
they do is not so much in what they eat
as what they tramp down. A wood tick
is not so large as a bull dog, but ho is
more to be dreaded than a book agent or
a Spanish mule. Some people, when
they find an exodus albipictus sticking
to them, take the bullet rnoldh and ruth
lessly tear away what there is in sight,
but this is not the correct way to do, as
it leaves the mandibles still in your
company, and a sore that will not quit
itching for mine yearB. The only proper
thing to do when yon find a wood tick
screwed (they are never nailed) to you
is to take a gold-headed needle, run It
into the tick at the point that offers
the least resistance, until it penetrates
the pons vuroliof the medulla oblongata,
then hold a lighted lucifer match to the
protruding part of the needle; this car
ries the heat to the aforesaid pons
varoli, which causes the tick to with
draw his corkscrew and also to get out
of business.

Whatever else may be said of and
concerning The Dalles sidewalks, they
cannot be charged with having ingrow
ing nails. The measly spikes stick up
promiscuously, knocking the veneering
off the iew shoes and" the soles off the
old ones. It is not conducive to pleas
ure, nor an adjunct to good morals to
perambulate these aids to proficiency in
the art of profanity. When a lady htubs
one of her Trilbies on a projecting hand
spike and ruins a pair of fft shoes, and
before 6he recovers her equilibrium of
body or temper another spike reaches
up and catches on to the bottom of her
EkirtB and brings her to a dead halt, the
air is not redolent of profanity as it
would be were she a man, but the ago
nized look of utter disgust ut not being
permitted to give audible expression to
herJeelljigJrlejtbljcally touching.
The city council wourdil6 welITorfasH
an ordinance compelling property-owners
to drive down the measly nails.
