During the last few days wheat has

It is said that William Shields, of Al
bany, has found the old historic cannon
in the bottom of tiie Willamette at Al
bany. The Herald jocosely says that
company F haB appointed a committee,
consisting of Corporal Fred Westbrook,
Corpora) Jack Hammell and Sargeant
James Finch, to raise the weapon,
mount it, and, with Mr. Shields as
gunner, will send it to Yaquina and
plant it in Lover's lane, on the hill
above Newport, to keep out any blood
thirsty Spanish.
"The hunchback" was almost as poorly
attended last evening as was "Ingomar"
on Monday night. Both pieces were
splendid productions and well played,
and everyone who attended wonders
why it is that they had such poor houses
oil both nights. On Friday, the 22d, a
strong troupe will be here, and as this
will probably end up the theatrical per
formances for the season, everyone will
no doubt attend.
Arrangements for the Sons of Veter
ans' excursion are being made, and it is
expected that the same will be held on
Saturday, May 7th. In all probability
the excursionists will go to Hood River
on the morning boat and return in the
evening, which will give them ample
time to enjoy themselves at the model
plculc grounds at Hood River. Tickets
will be on sala in a short time, and as
the number to be sold must' be limited,
anyoue desiring to go should purchase as
soon as possible.
The purlor of the Umatilla House was
well filled yesterday afternoon to listen
to the Shakeaperean readings by Misa
Waldorf, who delighted the ladies for an
hour or more. She gave three scenes
from "Romeo and Juliet," in which she
proved her thorough understanding of
her art. Her faciei enpreeaions are per
feet, and the force, coupled with a grace
ful bearing, which she put into these
renditions, showed the study which had
been given every detail. This was in
deed a treat to those present, and they
also appreciated the opportunity to
meet such a cultured lady.
Tomorrow afternoon and evening, in
the K. of P. hall, the ladies of the Epis
copalian Guild will have on Bale fancy
and useful articles of every description
in the line of needle work. The ladies
can spend a pleasant afternoon with
them, and a general good time may be
had in the evening. The young people
are especially invited to attend in the
evening, and as there is a piano in the
hall, will no doubt enjiy themselves
singing, dancing, etc. No one will be
urged to make purchases, but all are
invited to be present and enjoy them
selves, and if the ladieB have any arti
cles they are in need of, help them out
by buying of them.
In a letter received today by George
Young from Forest Supervisor I. B.
Ormsby, he states that Agent Bender
cannot come here as expected on account
of pressing business in other places. For
that reason it will be impossible for Mr.
Ormsby to name the exact date when
he and Agent Bender will be here to ar
range the matter of pasturing sheep and
other stock on the Cascade Reserve. The
matter will be settled however before
June 1st, after which time the sheep
men can range their flocks on the Re
serve. Mr. Ormsby desires to meet as
manv wool-growers as possible and con
sult with them on this important mat
ter, and bjB coming will be announced
as soon as the date can be fixed.
A Laughable and Pleaiant Kreut.
In the days when we were boys and
girls the songs of the sweet singers were
full of melody and harmony. Then the
end man waB to us far more interesting
than the circus clown, and then the old
plantation "breakdown" made us al
most wish we could 'join the festivities.
In by-gone days the elze of tho company
cut no figure, it was the ability to pleaBe
that counted. The Richards & Prin-
gle's famous Georgias in mighty union
with Rusco & Holland's operatic min
strels, will be a pleasant relief to the
theater patrons. The company is com
posed of genuine negro performers, who
are picked artists, and the press every
where speaks of them in the highest
term 8.
This great consolidated show will be
with us on the evening of Friday, the

PRESIDENT
SIGNS
Resolution and Ultimatum
Sent to Spain.
POLO HAS APPLIED FOR PASSPORTS
The I?reatlept Demands In lilt Ultima
tum That Spalu Shall Eradi
ate Cuba.
Special to Tub Chronicle.
Portland, Or., April 20.
The president this morning
signed the resolution, and has
sent the same with ultimatum
to Spain, giving that govern
ment until Saturday to. get
out of Cuba.
Senor Polo, Spanish embas
sador 1o khe United States,
called at the state department
this morning for passports for
himself and staff.
A Havana special states if
that city is taken tho Ameri
cans will find it in ruins.
It is not expected that Spain
will comply with tho ultima
tum, and a movement will
consequently commence on
Cuba at the expiration of tho
time given. A less hopeful
view for a quick campaign is
taken, Some believe that the
war will possibly continue a.
year.
In the ultimatum tho presi
dent demands that Spain shall
evacuate Cuba. This domand
is absolute and no half-way
reply will be entertained.

have Jong since shown that Dyspepsia is
curable, nor is it such i difficult matter
ne it tirefappears.
The trouble with dyspeptics is Hint
they are continually dieting, starving
themselves, or going to opposite ex
tremes or else deluging the already over
burdened stomach withbitters," "after
dinner pills," etc., which invariably
increases the difficulty eyen if in some
cases they do give- a slight temporary
relief. Such treatment of the stomach
simply makes matters woree. What the
stomach wants is rest. Now how can
the stomach become rested, recuperated
and at the same time the body nourished
nnd sustained.
. This is the great secret and this is also
the secret of the uniform success of Stu
art's Dyspepsia Tablets. This is a com
paratively new remedy, but its success
and popularity leaves no doubt as to its
merits.
The tablets will digest the food any
way, regardless of condition of stomach.
The sufferer from dyspepsia,ac.'.ording
to directions, is to eat an abundance of
good, wholesome food and use the tab
lets before and after each meal, and the
result will be that the food will be di
gested no matter how bad yourfdyspep
sia may be, because, as before stated, the
tablets will digest the food even if, the
stomach is wholly inactive. To illus
trate our meaning plainly, if you take
1,800 grains of meat, eggs or ordinary
tood and place it in n temperature of 08
degrees, and put with it one of Stuart's
Dypepsia Tablets ic will digest the meat
or eggs ait perfectly as if the meat
was enclosed within the stomach.
Tho stomach may be eyer so weak yet
these tablets will perform the work of
digestion and the body and brain will
be properly nourished and at the same
time a radical, lasting cure of dyspepsia
will be made because the much abused
stomach will be given, to some extent,
a much needed rest. Your druggist will
tell you thai of the many remedies ad
vertised to cure dyspepsia none of thorn
has given so complete and general satis
faction as Stuart'sDyspepsiaTablets.and
not least in importance in these hard
limes is the fact that they are the cheap
est and give the most good for the least
money.
