Sumpter reminds one of the good old
mining camp days. On a recent visit
there the writer saw a game of poker
going on in a saloon where there were
not less than $800 on the table, and It
was a three-handed game, too. The
Sampter News mentions the fact that
this same saloon took in on the 5th oi
July $1010.
The weather bureau says that the

even the most ignorant need not despair
of finally being rewarded with a perma

D. C, Ireland, the genial editor of the
Moro Observer, came in from Sherman
county on the train and went to Port
land on the Dalles City this morning.
He says everything looks prosperous in
Sherman, and that the wheat crop is
something reallv wonderful. He insists
that there are fields that will yield
sixty bushels to the acre.
Mr. Landers telephoned in from A. S.
Bennett's farm this morning that there
was a man with a mask on at that place
' dodging about among the trees and act

with him and drove out about 10 o'clock.
The man left before his arrival, and this
afternoon was seen a couple of miles up
the creek with the sheriff hot on his
trail.

Coroner Butts was informed by tele

The passengers on a Chester trolley
car were very much amused yesterday
by a conversation between two colored
men, one of whom was a deacon in a
down-town church. He introduced the
subject of a new fence around a grave
yard, and asked his companion, who bad
more worldly inclinations, for a contri
bution for that purpose. His reply was :
"What yo' want a fence 'round dat
graveyard fo'? Live pnssons doan' want
to git in, and I'm doggone sure de dead
ones ain't a-gwine to try an' git out. I
ain't got no money foh graveyard
fences." And the argument was clinched
right there. Philadelphia Record.

Bed,
Yesterday we noted that George Aleck
was married, we also stated that George
had kleptomania and other things as
bad. Now it seems that our diagnosis
of George's qualities was eminently cor
rect, for though yesterday was April-fool
day for him, and a blushing bride as
Virgil puts it, pendet colla, he could not
it seems, resist bis inclination to com
bine business with pleasure, and he is
charged with having stolen five pistols,
revolvers, rlfled-cannon, gatling guns or
something of that kind from Arbuckle,
who keeps the second-hand store. This
morning Arbuckle missed his arsenal
and remembered that George had been
around yesterday trying to buy them.
This coupled with George's reputation
caused suspicion to fall on him, and
Deputy Sheriff Olinger, of Hood River
was telephoned to, to arrest him, which
was probably done today. It may ' be
possible that George is innocent, or at
least that the stolen propertv may not
be found and the proof lacking, but it ia
quite likely that George will again lan
guish in the county jail next door to the
room where only yesterday he took unto
himself a bride.
There was a crowd of about 600 or 700
people at the depot at 12 :30 this morning
for the purpose of seeing and hearing
the Hon. W. J. Bryan. It was a good
natured crowd, each anxious to see the
great American advocate of the double
standard, and hoping and expecting to
hear him speak. When the train came
to a stop the crowd gathered around the
rear platform, and Mr. Bryan stepped
out. In the gloom it was at first almost
impossible to recognize him, and F. A
E. Starr, who accompanied him, stepped
out and said : "Gentlemen, this is Mr
Bryan." Then he received an ovation
He did not speak, explaining that he
was worn out and could not do so, but
bis remarks were heartily cheered, and
everybody pressed forward to shake bis
hand. He looked tired, sleepy and worn
out, and it was really asking a great deal
in routing him out of his bed at that
time, especially when it ia remembered
that he had made five speeches the day
before, talking 8 hours. As the train
pulled out he was given a hearty parting
cheer, and the visit of Bryan to The
Dalles was over.

Editor Chronicle :
Learning by study must be won ;
'Twas ne'er entailed from son to son.
As long ago aa 1886 the advisability of
holding one month's normal institute in
Wasco county was discussed by the
officers of the teachers' reading circle at
that time. How to raise the requisite
funds to pay instructors was the diffi
culty, some proposing to ask the county
court to support it from the county
fnnda. We believe, however, that the
month's work done last year was the first
of that length, and the good results of it
have been observed all over the county.
Again this year the teachers and
others have responded to the call of the
superintendent to pay each a fee of two
dollars and fifty cents to make up the
deficit in the institute fund. This is all
the more commendable when it is taken
into consideration that the average
amount of salary paid male and female
teachers is materially less than last year,
besides having shorter terms. Low
wages, however, do not indicate a lack
of interest on the part of school patrons,
as will be seen by the generous statistics
of the last annual report, which shows
3983 persons between 4 and 20 years of
age residing in the county, with an en
rollment of 2592, and an average daily
attendance of 1779. Besides there were
eight private schools, having an enroll
ment of 159 pupils. It will be seen that
the percentage of attendance would be
greater bad we statistics of the number
of pupils between the ages of 6 and 20
years, instead of 4 and 20. In the
sparsely settled districts many have far
to go to school.
There were 98 teachers employed in
the public schools during the year end
ing the first Monday in March, 1897, of
whom fifteen held first grade, twenty
nine second grade, and fifteen third
grade county certificates, twenty-nine
state diplomas, and eleven permits were
issued.

Mr. Leooold Meyer and Mrs. Bertha
Viera were married last evening at the
bride's residence in this city, Rev. L
Gray performing the ceremony.
Not long after the two were made one
they were treated to such a charivari as
is seldom presented to anyone. There
were young folks and old, big cans and
little, noises great, noises small, noises
varied, mixed, discordant, soul-rending.
After this serenade bad been kept up for
some time, Mr. Meyer surrendered and
served refreshments to the crowd, its
members being mostly his best friends,
Mr. and Mrs.- Meyer left on the early
morning train for Portland and will be
absent for a week or more.
