WAYSIDE GLEANINGS.
Let a woman wear blpbinera,
A hat like a man ;
A four-in-hand necktie.
And be "new" as she can.
But when she gets ready
To marry, she'll find
That the womanly woman's
The marrying kind.

Patrick and Thomas Bolton are in from
their farm on Tygh Ridge today. They
say that farmers are very anxious to be
gin plowing in that section, bat the con
tinual rains which they bave been hav
ing for the past week- has prevented
them from so doing.
Residents of Wallowa county report a
run of salmon which began within the
past week. A run of salmon this late
in the season is very unusual in that
county. The fish are large and have
deep red sides, and have other unusual
characteristics. They are headed for
Wallowa lake and are very plentiful.
F. S. Gunning, . secretary of
1857, Endowment Rank, K. of P., this
morning received a check for $2000 in
favor of Mrs. Carrie Johnston, widow of
Chas. W. Johnston, who was killed on
the O. R. A N. in November last. Sec
tion 1857 has been in existance for about
four years, and this is the first death
amongst the Dalles knights since that
section has been introduced.
This morning the Antelope arfd Prine'
ville stage did not leave until after 9
o'clock, owing to the large Amount of
mail which had to go to thse places.
There were in all tweaty-tiree sacks,
and the regular stage could hot be need,
they having to substitute 4 small farm
wagon. At present there should be four
horses on the stages on 'this line, and
much better service would be given.
Besides no passengers could -be carried
today on account of the poor accommodations.
Cedar Circle received a dispensation
from its grand guardian to admit appli
cants until January 1st for $1.50. It ac
cepts any lady of good character, or any
Woodman in good standing in his camp.
Is a beneficiary order that is able to pay
every death claim in full, having paid
for this year, insurance from $500 to
$2000; furnishes a $100 monument to
every deceased lady benefit member;
graded assessment plan, same as Wood
men have. It has nearly 5000 members ;
organized April 1, 1807. The Circle has
made rapid growth and is a substantial
order.
Mr. Byers, whose flooring mill was
burned in Pendleton some time ago,
has made a proposition to the Commer
cial Association of Pendleton that it
Bhall take the matter in hand of dispos
ing of a quantity of his realty, and
thereby give him money sufficient to
pay for building his flouring mill. It is
the idea to sell $31,000 worth of land.
The matter is now in the hands of a
committee. Colonel Boyd, of the com
mittee, has written to people at Portland
relative to the proposition of forming a
stock company to purchase the property
and expect 8 a reply iqjifew days.
The following officers bave been
lected by the - board of directors of the
Dalles Commercial and Athletic Club, to
serve during the ensuing year: Presi
dent, E. C. Peaee; vice-president, G. C.
Blakeley ; secretary, H. M. Beall ; treas
urer, W. H. Wilson. Of these gentle
men, Mr. Wilson has . been treasurer
since the club was organized, and this
is Mr. Beall's second term as secretary.
In selecting Mr. Pease and Mr. Blake
ley' excellent judgment was also shown,
as both men have done a great deal tow
ard the . advancement of the club.
TWO SUCCESSFUL ROBBERIES.
Another One Attempted, Bat Nothing
Was Stolen.
Judge Bradshaw, the former president,
being out of town so much that be could
not give strict attention to club matters,
for that reason he declined to serve the
eecond term.
Circle Social.
Despite the heavy rain storm last
evening, the entertainment at Frater
nity hall, given by Cedar Circle, was
presented' to a lull house. 'Every ntim
ber on the program Xvas good and en
section 11 joved by all, being asfollows:
(Instrumental Overture.. .sr.. .Mrs. Vamey
ICornet Solo . . Joe Stadleman
t
At about 11 o'clock this ' morning
someone broke into the house of an old
Chinaman, by the name of Let, who
has a vegetable garden at the foot of
Washington Btreet, on the north side of
the O. R. & N. track, and stole about
$90 in money. No one was around the
place at the time of the robbery, and as
the officers have very poor ground to
work on, it is doubtful if the mis
creant will be brought to justice.
Another attempt at burglary was
made last night, the scene of this being
the . Diamond Flour Mills. An effort
was made to force the lock on the front
door, after which failure the robber
broke a hole in the office window large
enough to reach through and unfasten
the catch, when he raised the window
and entered. AH the money and valua
bles were in the safe, and as yet noth
ing has been missed.
Another robbery was committed in
the Farmers' Hotel yesterday afternoon.
Someone got into the room of Mr. Co
bart, engineer at the mill, and took a
pair of shoes and some other articles of
clothing. - -
It is a calamity that the burglar, or
burglars, who - are committing all these
robberies cannot be caught. They are
very smooth and succeed in evading the
authorities, leaving no clue to their
identity: However, no - stone will be
left unturned by the police force in the
way of ridding the town of such pests.
There is one thing that our city lacks,
and that' is sufficient police force at
night. It is impossible for a single
man to take care of a town of the mag
nitude of this, and as a gang of thieves
seems to be operating successfully at
present, another night-watchman should
be put on by. all means.
AN AMUSING ENTERTAINMENT.
