The bowling match between the ladies and gentlemen at tho club rooms last night was a hard contest from start to finish. Moat of the ladlen played in hard luck, and a largo number of centers were taken out, eo that their Ecorea fell far below their usual records. A few of the mon fell down, but ou the whole they played remarkably well, as the following will show: LA11IK3' TEAM.

In order to decide the match the country havo trained nines already and are playing matched games, and thero is no reason why a town tho elze of this should not have an abundance of sport of this kind. Secretary Long is authority for the statement that there is no truth in the report published Wednesday that Consul-General Lee is dissatisfied with the president's Cuban policy, and has cabled his resignation to tho state de partment at tho same time requesting that ho bo relieved at once. Last Sunday night John Gage died at his homo near Mitchell, in Crook county, aged about 53 years. Mr. Gage ranked among tho most prominent sheepmen of Crook county, and was highly ta eemed by all who knew him for his honest dealing and noble charac ter. He left a wife and family. Today's bulletin says Spain's reply to the president's demand for the libera tion of Cuba was received last night, but as yet it lias not been made public. It is said to be in a defiant tone, and if such be. the caso, war mayresult. To day's dispatches will, In all probability, state whether we will have war or peace. Nothing has yet been heard of Mat Nydgust and Swan Svvanaon, the two men who started down the river from this place several weeks ago and whose boat was found at White Salmon a tew days later. At present it seems almost a certainty that both men were drowned, else they would have been heard from before this. At 11:43 Wednesday night San Fran cisco and tho greater part of California were shaken by one of the most severe earthquakes ever experienced there. In San Francisco buildings wore swayed violently for fully ten seconds, though reports from other places state that the vibrations continued for from thirty seconds to a minute. Considerable damage to property was created. The Dalles is to be congratulated on possessing such up-to-date merchants as Pease and Mays. The magnitude and exquisite elegance.of their millinery dis play shows how carefully they have an ticipated the wishes of their lady cus tomers. That their enterprise is appre ciated must be acknowledged by all. Their store has been literally besieged by the ladies since the opening of the new goods. The tickets for "Kini Hallabahoola 11" are selline very rapidly, and it is feared that the Vogt opera Mouse, lane as it is, will not be able to accommodate a'l, with even standing room. No par son can reserve more than five Beats, and no partiality will be shown in the matter of reserves, since the box office will be open at a certain hour, and those who come first will have the choice of seats. Attorney Frank Mtnefea returned from Portland last night, where he and Mr. Dufur have been trying the case of Boyd vs. the Portland General Electric Co., in Judge Shattuck's court, The plaintiff, who was a boy 11 yeara old, received Sirious injuries at Woodlawn some time ago by running foul of a broken wire belonging to this company, and at pres ent bears, as a result of the contact, a badly crippled hand and severo wounds about the head, where lie was burned by the electricity. He instituted a suit for $5000 damages and hired Dufur & Mon efee as his attorneys. Tho jury brought in a verdict last night for damages to the full amount of the stilt. Tho case a as a hard fight from beginning to end and the result is flattering to our Dalles attorneys. pins were counted, and it was foantE that the ladies had won by thirty-nine? pins. They were ahead forty-five pinB In the previous games and In the four games of last night tho gentleman had' an advance of but elx, so that tho differ ence showed thirty-nine pins in the ladles' favor. Tho match was all tho moro interest ing on account of being close, and as tho sympathy of the spectators was with tbe lBdies, everyone seemed lo be wolJ pleased with the result. THEY KIDICULE IT. MANY PEOPLE RIDICULE THE IDE, OF AN ABSOLUTE CURE FOR DYSPEPSIA AND STOM ACH TROUBLE. Itlillcule, However, ir Mot Argument,, anil Facts arc Htnliliorn Thing. Stomach troubles are. so common ami: in many cases so obstinate to cure that; people are apt to look with suspicion on any remedy claiming to bo a radical, pei manent cure for dyspepsia and indiges tion. Many such pride themselves orn never being humbugged, especially on. medicines. This fear of being humbugged may bo carried too far; so far, in fact, that many persons suffer for years with weak di gestion, rattier than risk a little time? and money in faithfully testing the claims of a preparation so reliable and universally used as Stuarts Dyspep sia Tablets. Now Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are vastly different in one important respect from ordinary proprietary medlcinea for the reason that they are not a secret patent medicine, no secret is made of their ingredients, but analysis show them to contain the natural digestive ferments, puro aseptic pepsin, the di gestive acids, Golden Seal, bismuth, hy drastis, and nux. They are not cathar tic, neither do they act powerfully orn any organ, but they cure indigestion on the common sense plan of digesting the food eaten promptly, thoroughly before it has time to ferment, sour and cause the mischief. This is the only secret of; their success. Cathartic pills never have and never can cuie iudigestion and stomach troubles because they act entirely upoi the bowels, whereas the whole trouble is really in the stomach. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, taken af ter meals, digests the food. That is alb there is to it. Food not digested or half digested is poison, as it creates gas, acid ity, headaches, palpitation of tho heart,, loss of flesh and appetite, and many other troubles which are often called by some other name. They are eold by druggists everywhero at 50 cents per package. Address Stuart Co., Marshal, Mich., for book on stom ach diseases or ask your druggist for it.
