Since the tick has been removed the child has steadily improved-- Mr. Max Vogt, Jr., a very highly re spected voune man of The Dalles, is in ! the city with the view of engaging in a I bowling alley enterprise, to be conduct , ed on lines of respectability and catering to the patronage of ladies as well as gen tlemen. Mr. Vogt has found it very difficult to secure a desirable location on account of every building suitable being occupied. However, he is arranging with one or two property-owners, and it is probable a building suitable to his business will be constructed for him. .Baker Democrat. A sor76w7uTIooking old chap was fit ting on a bunch of shingles at the corner of first and Washington streets this morning, when The Ciikosicle man went by. He was nibbling a cracker, of which a small paper sack full was held in hia lap. ThkCiiiionicle man stopped to chat with him, being moved thereto by his forlorn appearance. In the con versation he was asked his name. Drawing his ragged coat proudly around his attenuated form, he replied, "My name is Barnato, and I am the only liv ing relative of Barney, deceased." This settles it. AM SOME IDLE THOUGHTS. Some Ancient Stories Suggested by The in. -r e Secretary of the Interior has or dered forty Cheyenne Indians, who are livfng in polygamy, to select from among thir wives, one, and to discard the bal ance. The secretary evidently does not understand the Indians social relations. He does not understand that confiscat ing one of his wives is like taking one of hje horses, and that he is handicapping the male Indian in Lis Btrtrggle for ex istence. That fool secretary if allowed 1iis way would soon reduce the noble redman to a condition where he would have to work. The Indian knows his business, the principal part of which is to avoid labor, and how else can he do it if woman, his woman, is robbed ol her inalienable right to work for him. No one else will, at least no man, for one Indian is just as lazy as another, nnd more too. If one woman can't dig his cammas and stew his dog, why shouldn't he have two? If he doesn't take her to wife, nobody else would, .for she hasn't enough to even tempt a duke or a count to propose to her.

Mr. Phelps stated the object of the meeting, and that the first thing necessary was the selection of a chairman, and asked for nominations, whereupon Hon. B. S. Huntington was placed in nomination.

R. & N. railway carried the passengers and products of the coun try, Pete Dellut! went up the river along with Captain Stump. The trip wus ted ious and Pete amused himself by pok ing fun at Stump about the slowness of his boat. It happened that on the trip a passenger died, and the boat was put in-shore and laid up until the deceased was burled. Then Pete got his work in on Stump by charging the boat with bit ing eo slow that the passengers died of old age on the trip. Soon after this De Huff was appointed n special deputy marshal to convey a prisoner from Walla Walla to the penitentiary at Steilncooui. He got as far as The Dalles with his prisoner, but here he was overtaken by a messenger, bearing an order from the U. S. judge to bring the prisoner back. The judge had granted him a new trial. Pete took his prisoner back to Walla Walla, where he was soon after tried nnd acquitted. Some time after this Dellull got Stump in the old Umatilla House with a lot of his friends, and again be gan on him, by telling about his boat being so slow that the passengers died. Stump listened patiently 'till the laugh subsided, and then he got back. "The old boat was pretty slow," said he, "but not as slow as our friend DeHuff. Why gentlemen, I remember one occasion when DeHuff started from Walla Walla to Steilacooin with a United States pris oner sentenced for life, and his time ex pired before DeHuff got him past The Dalles."
