At the Methodist conference at Pen
dleton, just ended, Rev. J. R. Warner
was re-appointed presiding elder for
this district. This is a deserved com
pliment, and a recognition of his good
work heretofore.
The score at the Umatilla House alley
last week was a remarkably good one.
Some one erased it from the board, but
one of the pin-setters had copied it. It
was as follows : Monday, Estebenet,53 ;
Tuesday, Porter, 54 ; Wednesday, Por
ter, 77 ; Thursday, Maetz, 57 ; Friday,
Pundt, 49; Saturday, Porter, 57; Sun-
dav. Bennett. 53. Average 5 1-7
Mrs. Mary Brittain went to Mosier
this morning, having been here to settle
with the insurance company for the loss
of her bonse. The building was insured
in the Firemen's Fond Co. for $900, and
she promptly received a check
full amount. J Henrv Bins had his per
sonal property, which was in the house,
cars have been ehipped to date, and
there is an abundance of fruit if a mar
ket can be found for it. The trouble is
that Idaho, California, Oregon, Wash
ington and Utah are pouring their prod
ucts into the East faster than they can
be consumed, and prices are so low that
freights and commissions leave nothing
for the grower.
C. Rafferty, well known in Eastern
Oregon, was stricken by paralysis near
Huntington last Thursday. He had
been offered a position in a hotel in
Huntington, but thought he could get a
better one in the new hotel in Baker
City, so he started with a companion to
walk to Baker City. When out eight or
ten miles he was suddenly stricken with
paralysis, and fell helpless to the ground.
As it was growing late his companion
remained with him until the next morn
ing, when he notified the authorities in
Huntington, and Marshal Hannon sent
a conveyance out and had the unfortun
ate man removed to town. He is still
in a helpless condition, and as he is get
ting well along in years his friends fear
hia affliction may prove permanent.
Conference Ended.
insured for $190, which was also paid.
The score for last, week at the Uma
tilla House alley was unfortunately
erased from the blackboard before it was
copied. The average was 57 1-7, the
lowest being 49, and the highest 77, the
latter being the record to date made by
C.'E. Porter. The record yesterday was
made by Victor Sampson, 62, and the
high average for last week shows that
there is a steady improvement among
the bowlers generally.
Mrs. C. L. Phillips is now receiving
and opening one of the largest and finest
stocks of fall and winter millinery ever
brought to The Dalles. Part of the
stock comes from San Francisco and
part from New York, and includes the
very latest things in shapes, colors and
textures. As soon as the goods can be
unpacked, a grand opening will be given,
and the ladies of The Dalles and vicinity
can rest assured that they will find an
assortment from which they can find
plenty of things to please them.
Returns from fruit sent East are com
ing in, and are anything but cheerful.
The first shipments are all right; but
later returns indicate that nothing will
be left for the growers. . About thirty

Dr. Sutherland this morning had a
lece of crazy-quilt patchwork in the
lurgery line that is seldom equaled.
'he man who furnished the job was
Henry Butcbeck, who hails from near
Corvallis, the work covering the entire
scalp, which was cut in twenty places,
and there would have been more if many
of the cuts had not been of ths confluent
kind. When we called at the doctor's
office he was engaged in giving the man
a hair cut under serious difficulties, pre
paratory to stitching and dressing the
gaping wounds. Where there were no
cuts the scalp was a pulp, and it was
all done by a friend and traveling com
panion of Butcheck'e, with an Iron bar
and without malice.
Butcheck say's that he and his friend
had been working near Dillon, Montana,
and were beating their way home by the
box-car route. The friend carried an
iron bar to defend himself against the
brakemen in case they were too forcible
in inviting them off the trains. Butch
eck 'a companion is an acute somnambu
list, a dreamer of dreams to some pur
pose, for, in the early hours of morniDg,
about an hour before the train arrived
here, this friend, so he told Butcbeck,
dreamed a brakeman was choking him
and, trying to put him off the train ;
that to defend himself he grabbed the
iron bar aforesaid and began slathering
away at his antagonist. Unfortunately
for Butcheck the brakeman was only a
vision, but he was' a tangible reality.
The blows disturbed Butcheck, and
finally awakened him, and then the
other fellow woke up and the trouble
ceased, the man who did the beating
abandoning bis companion, probably
fearing that he would get into trouble.
Butcheck, however, believes the story
of the dream, and says that his friend is
a good fellow.
From the appearance of the man's
head, his friend is an artist in the fight
ing line, and, judging by the work done
while he was asleep, he would be a terror
if awake.

As we eat in our den last night about
10 o'clock, we heard a voice faint and
far away, and applying our best ear to
the telephone, we were delighted to find
that the hello-girl ' had accidentally, or
otherwiee, connected us with the 'phone
in the Perkins hotel private '. parlor..
With an eye single for news, we glued
our auricular appendage to the instru-'
meat, and, recognizing the well-known
voices of Senator McBride and Repre
sentatives Tongue and Ellis, a vision of
a glorious scoop danced tantalizingly
through our mind.

The Boatmen's Strike.
There has been a general strike of the
deck hands on the river boats on the
lower river for some time, but it did not
affect the D. P. & A. N. Co.'e line until
this week. It seems there is some kind
of a union to which nearly all the boat
crews belong, and the strike was ordered
by the union. The wages paid by the
D. P. & A. N. were $35 per month, and
the hands were satisfied with this and
disliked to quit. At the same time they
did not like to go back on the union, so
reluctantly walked out, the Regulator
crew quitting Monday night, and
of the Dalles City Tuesday night
boats left on time with new crews, and
while the work is new to most of them,
they will be on to their jobs in a few
days.

praise. ' The manufacturers of this Range pledge them
selves that all parts of the MAJESTIC except the .firebox
and the new series Nos. 201 to 212, are made of steel and mal
leable iron, and purchasers are assured that it is as good and
as honest as skilled labor and money can produce. If the parts
now in malleable iron were (as in other so-called steel ranges)
made of cast iron, the price could be greatly reduced ; but the
MAJ ESTIC is not made with u view to furnishing extra
parts for repairs.

The Pickaninny band gave one of its
inimitable concerts at Mays & Crowe's
last night and attracted a large crowd
that was delighted with the perform
ance. The pickaninnies are genuine
thoroughbred little coons, they make
good music and dance well, but their
singing, like that of most youngsters, is
strained. The little fellows are well
trained, though, and the smallest one
has a mouth that will make him a for
tune. We honestly believe he could
swallow himself . without any trouble.
The band is well worth going to hear
and the price of admission, which is
free, should not keep any from at
tending. There is nothing so thoroughly appre
ciated by the ladies during the hot wea
ther as a delicious dish of genuine ice
cream. The Elite candy factory serves
just that kind. Also soda, ice cream
