There was a light rain last night, but
up to date there has not been sufficient
to do any injury to the crops.

Pacific Circle, W. 0. W., will hold a
short business session before the social
Friday evening, at 8 o'clock sharp. By
order of Guardian Neighbor Ella Crush
ing. Hop pickers are in demand in the
Willamette valley, 40 cents per box be
ing the price offered by many, though
some are offering only 35 and a few 30
cents. It is not probable the latter will
get help at less than the higher prices
offered.
Rev. W. C. Curtis arrived on the Reg
ulator last evening, having spent his
vacation the moBt of it at Astoria and
the neighboring beaches. He will be at
the church meeting as usual this even
ing, and Sunday morning will adminis
ter the communion.
Mr. Curtis reports that our friend,
Balfe Johnson is recovering finely from
the injury which he sustained July 4th,
which threatened the total loss of bis
right thumb. The indications now are
that he will have a good thumb of it yet,
upon which The Chronicle and many
friends congratulate him.
Perry Pennington, who resides about
six miles north of Eugene, and . who
owns a hopyard in that vicinity, met
with a serious accident Sunday. He
was getting down some hop boxes from
a loft, when he fell and the . box came
down also and struck him on the right
Bide, breaking a rib and forcing a
splinter from it into his right lung. It
ia a serious injury.
Adam Kutzman is at the Obarr hous
with bis right arm broken midway be
tween the elbow and wrist. He was
working on a threshing machine yester
day about ten miles southeast of The
Dalles, when a brace or something of
that kind broke loose and was whirled
'round, striking him on the arm with
the result mentioned t1'1- LUah re
duced the fracture, and tomorrow Mr.
Kutzman will leave on the boat, to re
turn to his wife and babies at Ball Run,
Clackamas county. He had been oa ;
this side of the mountains about a
month working in the harvest fie?d8.
The fourth of July was not celebrated
here because it was intended to make a
grand occasion of the firemen's tourna
ment. Now that has fallen through, is
the annual fair to go scooting into else
where down the same road? It looks
like it, for so far no steps have been
taken towards advertising it. Well,
Thanksgiving is coming, and so is
Christmas, and oar citizens can keep
those occasions at home.
Recently a small boy ate buttercups
and as a result died. Since then there
has been published a list of poisonous
wild flowers, popularly considered harm
less, bat certain to be fatal if eaten by
a careless person or ignorant child.
These flowers are buttercups, celandine,
wood anemone, daffodils, narcissus, lily,
snowdrop, jonquil, wild hyacinth,
monk's hood, foxglove, nightshade,
briony, mezerone and henbane.
The firm of Mays & Crowe are certain
ly progressive and wide awake. The
Pickaninny band which the firm brought
here, furnished the Dalles people a
really good evening's entertainment and
two matinees, and theee were all free.
It was an expensive bit of advertising,
but tbe firm knows the merits of the
goods advertised and wants the public
to do the same. Their big store was
crowded on each of the occasions, and it
takes a crowd to fill it.
Mr. W. K. Wheelock arrived in the
city this morning. Mr. Wheelock is a
partner of Dan A. Stuart, and was the
manager of the great Corbett-Fitzsim-
ons fight at Carson City. Mr.

Tbe cost of sending wheat from Port
land to England by ship is now nearly
twice what it was at this time last year.
The large crop this year and the exag
gerated claims as to its magnitude have
led ship owners to believe that the
competition this year woutd be among
tbe shippers to get ships in place of
among the ships to get cargoes and ac
cordingly they advanced their charges.
Possibly they may find that they put up
their rates too high, for already two
steamers, with a carrying capacity of
about 500,000 bushels, have been char
tered to carry wheat from Portland to
urope. It is quite possible that there
e other tramp steamers that are ready
b take wheat to Europe at present rates
nd if there are many such the sailing
esaels will have to come down in their
barges. - " - .

CONCERNING TITLES.
Jn America They Are Only ConTeniencen,
Handles to Jugs, Balls to Buckets.
The Arlington Record finds fault with
the title of "Colonel" worn by E. W.
Enos. The Record must have been
asleep for lo ! these many years. Has it
not heard of Col. L. L. Hawkins ot Port
land? Has it not seen a member of our
own pencil pushing fraternity suddenly
promoted fiom VJim" to Col. Eddy?
Does it not know that titles for an
American indicate no more than they
do for an American book? Does it not
know that, two-thirds of our lawyers are
"Judges," and two-thirds of the judges
are not lawvers?
What is a title anyway? In this
country it is often but a nickname.
placed before the surname for conveni
ence and euphony, last as a handle is
placed on a jug or a bail on a pot. Col.
Enos is easier than Mr. E. W. and it
somehow fits the dignity of the old gen
tleman, just as "Col." sounds better
than "Jim" when epeakingg of an offi
cial gentleman. . Outside of ' this every
day convenience, titles are no good any
way, but if used in fall become a nuis
ance. For instance, Lieutenant Smith
gets brevetted captain for meritorious
services, and after warda in the absence
of the Commissary of Subsistence is de
tailed to the position. Lieutenant Smith
is married, of coarse, to a most charm
ing woman. Being charming she likes
to let her friends enjoy her company
and their own, and eo gives a social
function. Her title then to be punctil
ious would be "Mrs. Lieutenant and
Brevet Captain, and Acting Assistant
Commissary of Subsistence Smith." It
is obvious that the purpose of the
title would dow be lost, and that tbe
title itself would be cumbersome. The
handle would be too large for the jug.
It is wise therefore to consider titles
not for what they mean,' but as a sort
of handle to the official umbrella, the
button which we may push, the door
bell which we may ring in approaching
our fellow beings.. What would our
handsome young Oregonian, Robert
Miller, be without the arabesque decora
tion of "Col. Bob?"
The olden times, the days of chivalry
and courtesy, was generous of titles
military and judicial, and Colonels,
Majors. Captains, Generals and Judges
were as thick in societies upper cruat, as
flies around a molasses barrel in the
sunny South.
The title fits oar old friend Enos like a
sixteen-button kid glove does a society
girl's hand, and be sustains it with dig
nity, aplomb and all that .sort of thing.

certainly disappointed, but most pleas
antly. The four young ladies composing
the club have exceptionally fine voices,
and each number rendered was a gem
in itself, so much so that it would be
impossible to select any one as the best,
for tbe severest critic could find no flaw
in the melody. ' The solo by Miss Rose
Manning, "Good Bye Sweet Day," was
beautiful, the young lady possessing a
rich contralto voice, and showing the
very best of cultivation.
Miss Caughran as an elecutionist has
the art so thoroughly mastered that you
lose sight of the art and see only the
character represented. She is particu
larly good in dialect selections, and as
she gave a representation of the gossipy
old woman, one began to feel uneasy for
fear they might be the next o come un
der thetongue lash.
These young ladies are traveling in
the interest of the university at Tacoma,
having spent their vacation giving con
certs. '
Funeral of Lewis JD. Ainsworth.
The funeral of the late Lewis D. Ains
worth took place yesterday afternoon at
4 o'clock from the residence of G. W.
Rowland, corner of Fifth and Laughlin
streets. The services were simple, and
the sermon was preached by Rev. J. H.
Wood. The choir, Mrs. Varney. Miss
Georgia Sampson, Dr. Doane and Mr.
C. J. Crandall, sang "Come Unto Me"
and "Herein Is Love." The interment
took place in Suuset cemetery with the
usual ceremonies. .
Lewis D. Ainsworth was a young man
of fine attainments, of kindly and gener
ous disposition, upright, honest and
honorable, and being what he was, he bad
few if any acquaintances who were not
called by tbe nearer and dearer term of
friends. Had he been granted health,
bis career would have been one that
would have honored him and bis, but
at the threshold of active life disease
closed all the gateways, all hope for
achievement, and forced him to give up
all aspirations almost before they budd
ed. Uncomplainingly he paesed a way,
but he left the impress of his character
on all who knew him.

praise. The manufacturers of this Range pledge them
selves that all parts of the MAJ ESTIC except tbe firebox
and tbe new series Nos. 201 to 212, are made of steel and mal
leable iron, and purchasers are aesured 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 conld be greatly reduced ; but 'the
MAJ ESTIC is not made with view to furnishing extra
parts for re'pairs. '

The celebrated contest between Corbett
and Fitzsimmons will be shown upon
tbe canvas as perfectly as though it were
the real battle. Every motion, every
blow ia shown, and besides this the surg

interesting part of the picture. More
than 140,000 photographs are thrown
upon the screen at the rate of forty a
second. .The papers of Eastern Oregon
where these pictures have been shown,
speak in the highest terniB of tbe excel
lence of the mechanism by which the
slides are bandied, and the perfectneBS
of the illusion. As one of them says it
is not a picture you see, but tbe actual
contest.
