the luneral of Johnnie Irvine, who
died in this city Saturday evening, was
held at tbe Christian church this after
noon, An appropriate sermon was
preached by tbe pastor, Kev. Bollz.
The service was largely attended by tbe
many friends of the departed, most of
whom have known him since he was a
child od his father's farm, near this
city.
Charles Neal, who lives near Golden
dale, in order to kill tbe fleas and bugs
on one of his calves, covered it with
coal oil and grease. He alao concluded
to brand it at the same time. When
the red-hot iron was applied for that
purpose, the oil and grease caught fire,
uud before the flames could be extin
guished the animal was almost destitute
of hair. The calf still Uvea, however,
but it is not nearly so frisky as of yore.
Last evening Judge Bradshaw made
another phenomenally jigb score on the
dub alleys. Ha started out by making
ix strikes. In the jfeventh frame he
made a spare; la tbeXlghtb strike; in
the ninth a spare, ado ended with three
trlkesj. Is tbe ssfcenth frame he got
two piM with tbi first ball, and the
third pin rocked, bit did not fall. Had
begot the nip, be konld have scored 80,
which would havegiven birn a record
equal to any on Mrecoast.
It is a strange coincidence that the
battle of Lexington, tbe first engagement
in the Revolution, was fought on the
10th day of April. Eighty-five years
later the first blood in the civil war was
shed on the same day of thiB Bame month
in tbe attack on the Massachusetts regi
ment in Baltimore; and again on the
19th of April, 1808, our country has
practically declared war againBt that
bated nation, Spain. This will certain
ly hare to be looked to as a memorable
date in our history.
The funeral services of Eddie John

this morning at 10 o'clock, Eev. DeFor
est conducting the same. Tbe choir,
consisting of Mrs. C. O. Bunker, Miss
Beulah PatterBon, Messrs. Fred Snipes
and Frank French, sang "God's Ways
Are the Best" and "Little Lambs." The
little white casket, which was literally
covered with beautiful flowers, was car
ried by Messrs. It. H. Lonsdule, E. M.
Williams, F. Faulkner and M. Vogt.

The O. 11. & N. has a construction
train running between this place and
Umatilla, raising and ballasting the
track in tbe sand beds along the Colum
bia. The gravel for ballasting is ob
tained near Grant Btatiou. Box cars
titled up with bunks are used as sleep
ing quarters for the men. A gentleman
connected with tbe survey says the Co
lumbia river is rising Bteadlly near
Grant, and will soon flood tbe gravel
bed, so that work must be suspended or
another place chosen from which to get
tbe gravel.
Rumors were afloat today '.that orders
bad been issued to Company G of thiB
place by Governor Lord, and some ex
citement was caused by tbe announce
ment. Orders have been issued, bow
ever, strictly prohibiting any member of
tbe guard to make public anytning in
the way of orders received from bead
quarters, and for that reason nothing
definite could be learned. There is one
thing almost certain, however, and that
is, that if a call is issued to the Oregon
militia, our boys will have to go, and
we are sure tbey will do so with a good
will.
We understand war was declared at a
late session of congress laflt night, and
today everybody is in a state of suspense
until the news can be confirmed. A war
has been declared for the last few
months in our own town and . it has not
been done by congress. Butts has de
clared that he will recognise everybody
who wants to do business with him and
allow them to become independent (fi
nancially) after they have purchased
some of his real estate bargains, and he
does not proposo to wait for any other
nation or Individual to say whether or
not people shall deal with him, but in
tends to pursue an honest, consistent
course In business matters that will in
sure fair play to all parties negotiating
with him for good, chef p "buys."

Poktlani), Or., April 19. Amid the
greatest excitement, congress at 1:15
thiB morning threw down tbe gauntlet
to tbe Spanish government, passing the
following resolution by tbe following
vote: House, 310 to 0; senate, 42 to 35.
Joint resolution for recognition of in-
4
dependence of tbe people of Cuba, de
manding that tbe government of Spain
relinquish its authority in the govern
ment of tbe island of Cuba, and with
draw its land and naval forces from
Cuba and from Cuban waters, and direct
ing the president of the United States to
use our land and naval forces to carry
tbe resolution into immediate effect.
Following is the resolution as it now
stands :
"Whereas, Tbe abhorrent conditions
which have existed for more than three
years in the island of Cuba, so near our
own borders, have shocked the moral
sense of the people of the United States;
have been a disgrace to christian civili
zation, culminating as they have in the
destruction of a United States battle
ship, with 266 of its officers and crew,
while on a friendly visit in the harbor
of Havana, and cannot longer be en
dured, as has been set forth by the pres
ident of the United States in his mes
sage to congress of April 11th, 1898, up
on which the action of congrees was in
vited; therefore be it
"Resolved, By tbe senate and house of
representatives of the United States of
America, in congress assembled:
"First That the people oi, tbe island
of Cuba are, and of right ought to be,
free and independent.
"Sseaad That it is the duty of the
United Stated to demand, and the gov
ernment of the United States does here
by demand, that the government of
Spain at onpe relinquish its authority
and government In the Island of Cuba,
and withdraw its land and naval
forces from Cuba and Cuban waters.
"Third That ,the; president of the
United States be, and is hereby directed
and empowered to use the entire land
and naval forces of the United States,
and to call Into the actual service of (he

United States the militia of the eevernl

"Fourth That the United States
hereby disclaims any disposition or in
tention to exercise sovereignty, juris
diction or control over eaid ieland, ex
cept for the pacification thereof; and
asserts its determination, when that is
accomplished, to leave the government
and the control of the island to Its own
people."
The resolution will be signed by the
speaker at noon today ; go to the vice-
president and thence to the president.
It is expected he will sign immediately
the declaration of war made. A call for
70,000 volunteers is anticipated today.
1 p. m. Speaker Reed and Vice-President
Hobart signed the resolution, which
has gone to the president, who will sign
eame this afternoon. McKinley will at
once send our ultimatum to Spain, al
lowing 24 hours for reply. There being
no doubt of Spain's anewer, warwill be
declared. There is the greatest activity
in military circles, and the movement of
troops Bouth is being pushed with the
greatest dispatch.
The war spirit runs high all over the
country. Greatdemonstrations are being
made over the paBHing of the resolution,
and surety of a chance to avenge the
blowing up of the Maine.
Congress is preparing a measure for
immediate passage, placing 200,000 men
at tbe disposal of the president.
f.ast Klght's Meeting.
The meeting at the Methodist church
last night was characterized by great
solemnity, as indeed lmye been all the
services. Mr. Miller sang "A Poor Shi
ner Like Me" and read from the fifth
chapter of Mark the casting out of a
legion of devils from a man of Gadarea.
They acknowledged Christ as divine,and
besought that they be allowed to enter
a herd of swine feeding on the mountain
side; anywhere to esuapo.from his pres
ence. Jesus permitted thin, and there
were devils enough in this one man to
send 2000 hogs into the ecu, there to
choke and' perish.
The meeting .was very informal, and
after some further comments on tho
lesson, he invited the Christians to
gather around tho altar. After a short,
earnest prayer service, the meeting
closed.

Splendid anil Well-Itenrtered Play
Attendance l'oor,
The vast majority of our theatergoers
missed a treat last night by not attend
ing the Waldorf company's performance
of "Ingoaiar."
Miss Waldorf proved by her acting in
the character of "Parthenia" that her
equal is haul to find, and that her su
periors are certainly tew. Mr McVey
took the part of "Ingomar" to perfec
tion. Not only is their acting perfect,
but the stage presence of both is such as
to win tbe admiration of all who admire
beauty of form and a graceful bearing.
Our people, who have bo few opportu
nities to see a troupe of this character in
such, classic productions as "Ingomar"
and "The Hunchback," should not fail
to attend tonight. It is often said by
Dalles theater-goers that they wish a
good show would come to this city.
Now we have such a one, and why do
they not attend? A Si Perkins or Un
cle Tom's Cabin troupe always draws
a crowded house, and when a perform
ance that Is worth while seeing; one
that everyone can profit by ; cne that is
worthy of being called a elaseic drama,
presented by the heat talent in tbe land,
comes to our city, they are forced to
play to empty benches. If such shows
cannot be appreciated, they certainly
cannot afford to come Here.
We sincerely hope that tbe encour
agement which will be given tonight's
performance will be sufficient to induce
a good troupe to stop here, occasionally
at least.
