Remedy which gave very epeedy relief."
For sale by Blakeley and Houghton.
A band of Banncok bucks is assisting
the Indians on the Umatilla reservation

and the other photographer is yet to be
heard from.
The contract for building the Luther

There were two boys and two drums
in the alley back of the Commercial
Club rooms this .morning that deserve
praise for the consideration shown their
parents. Had they beaten those drums
within half a block of home, their moth
ers would have been laid out by this
lime. Filial affection is a noble trait,
and one we will continue to admire even
though it kills us.
The work begun by Mrs.L. M. Miller,

point who say they will, The Dalles will

ing. The Regulator will leave the wharf for
Multnomah Falls tomorrow morning at 7
o'clock. "Old Glory" and music will be
in the air, the band accompanying the
excursion ; and as the weather bureau
this morning states the quality of the
weather tomorrow will be "fair and
warmer," it will be a model day for th
trip, giving the opportunity to be away
from the heat of the streets for a day,
and to enjoy the cool air of the river. '
The Dalles this year has maintained
its reputation of being the best wool
market on the coast. Yesterday a very
large number of sales were made, but so
quietly it is impossible to correctly es
timate the amount. It is certain though
that the sales cut a large slice off the
available supply in the warehouses.
Prices ranged from 9 to 11 2 cents, this
being from a cent to a cent and a half
above prices at other Eastern Oregon
points, and there was but little sold
under 10 cents.
A dusky maiden of the forest was be
fore his honor, the city recorder, this
morning charged with being drunk and
disorderly. As the city recorder bas not
been in office long enough to become
hard-hearted, he gave her the benefit of
the doubt as to whether it was all the
spirit of the white man, or part the
Bpirit of her fathers, and fined her $5.
As she was locked up she said some
thing in her native tongue, which was
probably a reflection on the city jail.
Translated it might have run : "Stone
walls do not a prison make, nor iron
bars a cage."
Almost a Drowning;.
Yesterday afternoon a lot of small
boys were playing on the banks of Mill
creek, chasing grasshoppers and having
a good time. Among them was Harry,
the 5-year-old son of Constable F. N.
Hill. The other boys went up the creek
a short distance, leaving Harry, who a
few minutes later managed to fall in
the creek where it was beyond his depth.
Fortunately a boy fishing for suckers
came along in time to Bee him struggling
in the water and went to his assistance.
Harry in the meanwhile, had drifted
under a log where the big collar of his
waist caught and held him. When
pulled out he was unconscious, but in
a short time recovered. It was a very
close call. The name of the boy who
saved his life we were nnable to learn.

A BATHING EPISODE.
A Case 'Where It Didn't Come Oft in
tbe Washing-.
There are some, things almost too
pathetic in their combinations to admit
comment. One of these ; happened re
cently at one of The Dalles' hotels. Tbe
bath-room had been moved and in refit
ting the bath tub, a nice coat of enamel
was given it. The night clerk knew
nothing about this, and when a young
lady guest who had just arrived ex
pressed ber desire for a bath, sent the
the porter to show her tte bath-room.
The porter knew nothing about the fresh
enamel which, in fact, was about dry,
and so turned on the water and left.
What happened after that is only con
jecture, for there is only one person
knows and she will never, never tell,
but it is certain she knows more about
that enamel then either the night clerk
or porter. Tbe stuff Is remarkably
sticky, turpentine or alcohol being re
quired to remove it, once it gets a grasp
on you. The hot water evidently bad a
tendency to heighten the agglutinating
qualities of tbe Btuff and it was equally
evident that the bather did not know
anything about it until she entered the
tub. It wasn't necessary that she
should, for she was thoroughly informed
before she got out.. The circimstantial
evidence tells an eloquent tale. On tbe
foot of tbe tub are prints showing where
first one foot and then the other was
placed againt it to pull the other loose,
On the incline at the head is just one
mark where the fair bather's bead first
struck, and the long tresses still clinging
told of the desperate yank that freed ber
hair from the grasp of that deuced
enamel. There were marks on the .sides
and bottom of tbe tub also,, showing
that by tbe time the bather got out she
had a good share of the paint, and how
she got rid of it no one may know
But as effort to get rid of the stuff was
made, we can easily fancy that there
was an agonizing sense of the weakness
of the English language, and regret that
profanity was not an art more generally
cultivated and profusely distributed
among the ladies.
