were the property of Kiddle Bios.,

Word was received from Mrs. Briggs
today stating that Neddy's condition
Beemed to be somewhat improved, bat
still very little hopes are entertained for

A-movement is on foot to organize an
athletic class among the members of .the
clab. This would be a very commenda
ble move, and would not only enhance
the popularity of the club, bat also
arouse more Interest on the part of the
members in the gymnasium.

mer Bros, sold a lot. The prices ranged

' This evening the Ratbbone Sisters
will give a dancing party in their hall,
and there is no 'doubt that all who de
aire to spend a pleasant evening will

. overlook a good thing
This morning County Clerk Keleay
issued a marriage license to Chas A
Bell and Miss Lucy Ellison,., both of
Hood River, y Mr. Bell is the proprietor
of the hotel at that place, while Miss
Ellison is a daughter of the former sta
tion agent. Their friends in this place ! while those who got 75 cents bad
wish them the full measure of success, j
and happinesa galore.
The Astorian learns that one of Clat
sop county's best farmers, and one who
has been most successful, has duterm
ined to leave the county and settle in
the Willamette valley, because of the
difficulty of getting to market, over the
present roads. He is the last of a colony
of twenty who tried to locate there. This
is a strong argument tor better roads.
Yesterday afternoon in the case of
Sprowl vs. The Dalles National Bank, a
jury was selected and the case was be
ing stated to the jurors, when the at
torneys found that an error was made
and that the complaint did not agree
with the original one presented to the
attorneys for the defense, and the latter
were not prepared to . try the case on
those grounds. . As this was the last
case on the docket it waa postponed un
til the next term of court. This being
the only case left' requiring a jury trial,
the jurors were dismissed, and those
who live out of town have gone to their
respective homes. There were some j
other cases on the docket which were
read and disposed of today, and this
ends the October term of court, which
was the longest and most tedious we
have had for a considerable time. - '
Reports came to the state deportment
Tuesday afternoon from Hayti to the
effect that there was considerable ex
citement there, and that -the situation
was grave. For this reason it was de
termined to hasten the departure of the
Marblehead, and naval officials were
communicated with. The impression
seemed to prevail in Port an Prince that
a German warship was approaching the
place.
The membars of the commercial club
are talking of getting up another min
strel show. A meeting will be called in
the near future to consider the matter,
and the probabilities are that it will
lake place some time in January, f All
who saw the last show know how pro
ficient the boys are in this line of bus
iness, and should they got up another,
they will probably repent it at Heppner
and otheras Etern Oregon towns.
The writ mandate applied for by the
attorneys of Durrant to compel Judge
Bahrs to set a date for the trial of the
case for the murder of Minnie Williame
was denied by the supreme, court at
San Francisco Tuesday. This means
that there will be no interference with
the decree in the Lamont case, and it
now begins to,' look as if Durrant will
have to expiate his crimes at a date
sooner than his attorneys anticipated., I
The price of wheat seems to have
come to a standstill, as it has been sell
ing for 72 cents for a considerable timeJ
The bulk of the crop has already
changed hands and been shipped, and
but a few farmers can afford to hold on
much longer in order to speculate on
jhigher prices. .Wheat may make a
slight raise, but it is more probable that
it will make a big drop before the new
year begins. Those who are waiting for
80 cents will be likely to sell for 50,
better
feel satisfied.
The Van Pelts, seven in number, who
were implicated in the killing of A.
Coolidge, near Cbetco, Carry county,
recently have been captured and at the
preliminary examination waived exami
nation and all were taken to the county
jail at Gold Beach, the county seat of
Curry county, to await the action of the
grand jury on the charge of murder. It
is said that the next grand jury of Cur
ry county will not meet until September
of the coming year.- Wm. Brown, the
man who was shot in the leg at the time
that Coolidge was killed, is improving
and will soon be able to .leave Crescent
City, where he now is, for Silverton,
Marion county.
Taxes in Clarke county, Wash., for
1896 become delinquent today. Yes
terday being the last day for paying
taxes before the penalty was added, the
county treasurer's office was besieged
all day by large crowds of taxpayers
Probably one-third of the cash received
this month was for delinquent taxe9 of
1894 and 1895, a great many 'persons
having taken advantage of the provision
of the new revenue law remitting the
penalty and reducing the interest on all
payments made for those years prior to
December 1st. From present indica
tions, the amount of delinquent taxes
this year will be smaller in that county
than for a number of years' past. -
The Tacoma News says tbat among
the steamer Rosalie s passengers were
two men, A. Kelsey and W. E. Sproat
lhey are partner prospectors going
north to winter at Juneau, and later
strike across the mountains for Dawson
Bpth are-now married, bat up to the day
be started from Tacoma Sproat was
bachelor. He lived in Eastern Oregon
where he was employed as operator on
'.the O. R. & N. He was engaged to an
Arlington girl, whom he expected to
wed at Christmas. The Alaska fever
struck him and Kelsay at the same time.
and they decided to leave at once for
Juneau. Just before they boarded the
train for Tacoma, Sproat made up bia
mind to take no chances, but to make
sure of bis girl before be left. She
agreed, and they were married and
parted in a short time. The men ex
pect to go to Dawson early in the spring.
and later have their wives join them by
way of St.. Michaels.
Joseph McVey, who was eandbagged
and robbed of $200 in Hornbrook, is
slowly recovering from the effects of th
assault. fHe has not so fully fSgaleed
consciousness, at last reports,, as to give
a detailed account ot the crime, and as
he is yet somewhat dazed, the doctors
will not allow him to be questioned.
When found McVey was placed across
the rails of the track after the style of
the incident in Augustin Daly's drama,
"Under the Gaslights," by the perpe
trators of the dastardly crime, with the
hope, evidently, on the part of the high
waymen,' that a train would come dash
ing along and conceal their awful crime.
The people of Siskiyou county are much
wrought up over the affair and are de
termined to bring the guilty parties to
a swift retribution, if they can be found.
With a commendable prompt nesa Sher
iff Hobbs has offered a reward of $300
for any information that may lead to the
arrest and conviction of the robbers.

Some time dnring the night a daring
thief broke into the law office of W. H.
Wilson and stole a typewriter out of his
desk. He entered by removing the
transom over the door and crawling
through, when he unfastened the latch
from the inside and opened the door.
The marks where hib feet rested on the
molded when he climbed up to the hole
through which he entered, and on the
other side as he lowered himself to the
floor, can be plainly seen. The most re
markable thing about the whole affair
is that he did not touch' anything except
thA mAnliinn. Althnncrh t.rmrA vflrA
stamps and other articles in the deskft
whir.h nnnld r tnrnpd intn minev I
Mr. Wilson came to his office late this
morning and did not miss the stolen
article until almost noon. At first he
thought that someone had hid it for a
joke. Diligent search and the diecov
ery that the transom was wrenched from
its fastenings on one side proved, how
ever, that a robbery had been committed.
Mr. Wilson reported the matter to the
police, but as there is no clue, and as be
is doubtful whether or not he could pos
itively identify his property, it will be
a bard matter to find the guilty party or
the stolen typewriter.
