It is a fact well worth remembering that the shrewdest, more practical
Lady buyers of this city, do all or a large portion of their buying here.
They say it's because they find larger stocks to select from, newer pat

Sumpter News.
W. S. Byers, of the Pendleton flouring
mills, entered into a contract to deliver
15,000 barrels of flour for shipment to
Japan. He had the option of furnishing
25,000 barrels more, but as it was re
quired earlier than this mill could turn
it out, he had to refuse the order. Per
haps no one in Pendleton has 'felt the
improved condition in business more
than Mr. Byers, says the Tribune.
Whereas last year he was often obliged
to turn out orders at a loss in order to
keep the mill running, this year he has
repeatedly been compelled to refuse or
ders. Moreover his business has been
so steady and remunerative during the
present year that he has been able to in
crease the salaries of his employes.
Bryan Speaks Tonight.
A QU!ET WEDDING.
It is announced by thoBe in charge of
the affair that arrangements have been
made by which Hon. W." J. Bryan will
speak here for fifteen minutes tonight.
It was intended to have the train stop
at the Umatilla House, but as it haB to
stop any way nearly .fifteen minutes to
change baggage and express at the de
pot, it was the only arrangement that
could be made to have the train held at
the depot. So those who desire to hear
the leader of Democracy and the advo
cate of free silver, will have to go to the
depot to do so at 1 o'clock tomorrow
morning.
George Aleck, Not Tet of Age, Marries
for the Third Time.
There was a quiet wedding in the sher
iff's office this morning, the high con
tracting parties being Mr. George Aleck
and Miss Nellie Argui, both of Hood
River. Justice Filloon performed the
ceremony in the presence of the county
officials, Clerk Kelsay, Depnty Bolton,
Deputy Sheriff Kelley. Janitor FitzGer-
ald, and J. M. Huntington. We are
told that Mr. FitzGerald, upon the con
clusion of the ceremony, stepped for
ward and said: "A custom has been es
tabliBhed at the Umatilla House by Col
Sinnott, that all brides married there
shall be first saluted by him as senior
partner of the firm. It is a pretty cus
torn, and one that should become gen
eral. As the oldest and best looking
man in the courthouse the pleaeant task
has been delegated to me." And then
be pnt the tips of the fingers of hie left
hand nnder her chin, lifted it gently to
an angle of 60 degrees, and with a le
gato movement imprinted the court
house seal upon her lips. Mr. FitzGer
ald denies this, but insists that be tried
to get the boys to delegate him, but they
refused; and as they could not agree,
each of them performed his share of the
osculation.
The groom is the son of Joseph Aleck,
who carries the mail from' Hood River to
White Salmon, and who is a full-blood
Indian. So is the groom ; but the bride
is apparently only a nnlf-blood. George
is only 20 years old, yet has made an
enviable record in the marital line, this
being his third venture. His other
wives left him one at a time (he had
both at once), so this time he concluded
to see if the white man's ceremony
would tie the third Mrs. Aleck any more
firmly to him. We fear his confidence
and his money have been misplaced, but
at any rate this one to marry again le
gally will have to tackle the divorce
courts.
George is sporty, gambles and drinks,
has kleptomania and other things, and
the future of the bride of today seems to
us at least far from roseate.
Yesterday's Excursion.
The excursion yesterday was not the
success financially that it should have
been, the receipts but little more than
covering the expenses. The accounts
have not yet been balanced, but the net
returns will not exceed $15.
Otherwise it was one of the most de
lightful affairs of the kind ever origin
ated in The Dalles. The day was beau
tiful, and with only 115 passengers those
who went had plenty of room. The
boat arrived at Multnomah falls at 10 :45
and left at 2:15, and the three and a
half hours up under the cool falls were
all too Bhort.
The band accompanied the excursion
and furnished delightful music, as it al
ways does.'
Captain Waud and several others
climbed the cliff to the top of the falls,
and announced their arrival at the top

The good old Regulator, with flags fly
ing and band playing, arrived at her
wharf at 7:15, and was met by nearly
everyone in town, who went down to
welcome the excursionists home.
The members of the hose team worked
hard, and it is too bad that their efforts
were not crowned with a greater reward.
The Normal Institute.
The following persons were present at
the opening of the normal -institute to
day : John Gavin, J S Landers, Melissa
Hill, Louise Rintoul, Lena Snell, Cath
erine Davenport, Curtis Egbert, Frances
Fonts, Minnie Elton, Nona Rowe,
Emma Roberts, Maggie Flinn, Tena
Rintonl, .Mrs James Wilson, Clarence
Gilbert,- Hattie Stirnweie, Ada -Bell,
Maude Gilbert, Cora Stanton,.-Katie
Cooper, Ella Cooper, Nan Cooper, C. L.
Gilbert.
Considering that the institute will be
in session one month and that most of
those already registered are from The
Dalles, the outlook for a full attendance
is encouraging. About eighty-four
teachers were enrolled last year, and
this number is likely to reach that mark
inside of the" next two weeks.
The teachers will be pleased to have
parents and others attend as visitors at
any hour. The general discussion hour
at 1 :3Q is always interesting, and tonior
row Mr. Gavin leads in the subject of
"Preparation of the Teacher."
The Portuguese In Hawaii. -
One effect of the reciprocity treaty
concluded between the United States
and Hawaii in 1875 was to create a press
ing demand for labor to carry out the
many new agricultural and industrial en
terprisea projected. Through the agen
cy of Dr. Hillebrand, who was residing
in the island of Maderia in 1877, ar
rangements were made for the emigra
tion of Portugueee from the Azores and
Madeira. A pioneer company of 180
Portuguese arrived in September, 1878,
from Cunchal, and since then over 10,
000 more have been added to the popu
lation of the Island, and, with their nat
ural increase, they now number about
15,000. " They are an exceedingly val
uable addition to the white element of
the islands. Their status also in the
new territory will be regulated by treaty
between the United States and Portugal.
