Yesterday was collection day and
everyone seemed so busy finding out the

it was impossible for the reporter to find

everyone reports a very good collection

Work on the steamer Regulator is
progressing rapidly and it is expected
that she will be ready to go into service
again Monday. While the steamer has
been in the boat yard she haB undergone
a thorough course of repairs and when
it begins the run between this cltv and
Portland again it will be one of the
swiftest and neatest boats on the Colum
bia. Stockmen report that the grass on the
prairie is very backward this year,
which Mill cause stock of all kinds, and,
especially sheep, to go to the mountain
ranges earlier than usual this year.
Should a sufficient amount of rain fall
this summer the prairie ranges will be
excellent later in the season on account
of the stock being taken off so early in
the season.
A large amount of wheat was hauled
in yesterday, and during the afternoon
team after team unloaded at the Dia
mond mills. Dewey's victory seems to
have had the effect of causing wheat to
make a sudden drop on account of the
danger of the war ending sooner than
expected,' and at present farmers are
anxious to unload what wheat they have
on hand as soon as possible.
Besides the experimental station of
the O. It. & N. Co., at Blalock, Gilliam

for experimenting with grasses and
grains on its own, land about five miles
below Walla Walla, which will be under
the superintendence of K. McGshey,
It was established on petition of 12
business men and fy mors of Walla Wal
la and vicinity. Industrial Agent Jud
eon reports to General Traffic Manager
Campbell that he haa made complete
arrangements for the experiments at the
latter place, and the work is already
well in progress. . ,
At present workmen are building the
awning on the west side of the Waeco
warehouse, and when this is finished
the new establishment will be complete
in every regard and ready to receive the
season's wool clip,. The Wasco ware
house is one of the largest and compact
warehouses iu the city, and on account
of honest dealing and strict adherence
to business principles its patrons are in
creasing daily.
It is said that tickets for the Red
Men's excursion are selling rapidly and
it cannot be doubted that the largest
crowd that has been in The Dalles for
many a day will be here next Sunday.
The principal question at present seems
to be whether sufficient cars can be ee-
cured to carry the excursionists to and
from this place. All arrangements are
made here eo that the excursionists may
enjoy themselves fully.
Sunday nrout midnight Edward Kear
ney was shot five' times by a notorious
character, My Williams, in the woman's
fioathouse at what is called the Point, at
Sbelton, in Wasco county. Kearney died
at 8 o'clock Sunday morning. On exam
ination of physicians and witnesses the
coroner's jury found that death resulted
from wounds inflicted by a pistol iu the
bands of May Williams, with Ben Sim
mondsas accomplice. Kearney had two
sisters at Shelton, and a mother and
two brothers living In Olympia. The
Williams woman and her accomplice
have been lodged in jail, pending trial.
Yesterday Carey Ballard, who for
,abme time has been employed in W. A.
Johnston e grocary and who is well
known to our townspeople as a straight,
forward young business man, purchased
the Columbia Candy Factory, and in the
future will conduct it on strictly
business principles. The cntiro estab
llshment will be remodeled and u pro
fessional candy maker will supply the
stock of candies, while the ice cream
and soda will be second to none, Mr.
fiatlard has many friends in this city
and we have no doubt that since ho will
conduct Mils busines in a busineef-llke
manner, he will receive his share of the
public patronage.
The salmon catch so far in the Colum
bia river is unusually light, though a
busy time is expected iu June and the
fore part of July, which the fishermen
and cannerymen call their ''hay uiak
lug." The Columbia river is slowly
rising, being now some 20.0 above low
water mark at The Dalles. The fisher
men are being paid 4 cents a. pound for
all ealmon caught;, but even at this tig'
ure very few are making wages, and
cannery men on the lower river are
keeping (heir works running just to
encourage the boatmen by receiving and
paying for the few that lire caught.
Ownera of canneries believe that the
reason may yet be of average production
of canned salmon, however,
Stockmen ray that the price of email
Vack ponies has doubled with the last
month. Judging from this the Eastern
Oregon bronchos may be worth owning
yot.
A dispatch to tho Oregonian from San

THE DEGREE OF HONOR.
A TRAVELING MAN.
A Pleasant Meeting Held lat Evenlot-
An luteremlDK l'rogram.
The Degree of Honor gave a pleasant
entertainment to their members and
friends iuBt evening. The social was
well attended, and, aB all the entertain
ments of the Degree are, this was pleas
ant in the extreme.
The program was opened by an excel
lently-rendered piano duet by Mrs.
CrandallandMrs. Eshelman.
The next was a recitation, "John
Maynard," by Neil McNamara. This
delightful selection was well rendered
and equally well received.
Dr. Eahelman's vocal solo was heartily
encored.
The guitar and mandolin selections
by Professor Ryan and Irvine Parkins
was loudly applauded and heartily en
cored, and the response was no less
worthy. of mention than the first selection.
The most laughable affair of the even
ing was a farce, "The Train to Moro,"
by H. D. Parkins as "Mr. Bright;" Mrs.
Cha's. Stephens as "Mrs. Buttermilk,"
and Fred Waud as "Johnnio Butter
milk." The farce from beginning to
end was highly amusing, and all the
characters tbok their parts in an excel
lent manner, considering ttie small
amount of practice they had prior to the
rendition of the piece.
Refreshments came next, and after
the inner man was amply satisfied, Fred
Waud was called and rendered an
amusing character sketch of a bashful
hoy. Ho received an encire and in this
he recited a selection containing num
erous rich local hits.
The floor was then cleared for dancing
and tho place at the piano was occupied
by Mrs. Crandall, who furnished the
music for the delighted dancers until
the clock warned the merry-.makers of
the approach of another day.

Mr. R, W. Wincherdon, a commercial
traveler from Birmingham, whoso busi
ness keeps. him almost constantly on the
road, relates in the Sunday News the
dangers to health retailing from con
stant change of residence and the way
he overcame the usual Injurious effects.
He says: "One thing people travel
ing cannot very well avoid is the con
stant chango in weather nnd food ; the
stomach never has an opportunity to be
come accustomed to anything, ana in a
few years or much sooner the average
traveling man becomes a hopeless dys
peptic.
"For several years I suffered more or
less from indigestion, sour stomach,
headaches, distaste for food, often no
appetite, gas on the stomach and the
usual unpleasant effects of imperfect di
gestion.
"Nearly every traveling man has his
favorite remedy for different troubles
and I tried all of them with indifferent
results. Finally on the train between
Pittsburg and Philadelphia one day, I
overheard a conversation between two
ladies, one of whom bad suffered severe
ly from indigestion and stated she had
been completely cured by a remedy
which she called Stuart's dyspepsia1
Tablets ; I remembered the conyersation
because it directly interested me; and
at the next town I inquired at the first
drug store and bought a package for
fifty cents, and from that day to this I
have never been without them. They
are pleasant tasting tablets, not a secret
patent medicine but composed of vege
table eesences, pure pepsin, fruit salts
and Golden Seal ; being in tablet form
they never lose their good qualities like
a liquid medicino would, but are alwuys
fresh and ready for use.
"I carry n box in my pocket continual
ly, and whenever I see anv symptoms of
ndigesticn I take one, also one after
eacli meal, and for a year and a hail I
iave not 'lost a day by reason of poor
health and can eat anything and relish
what I eat ; my digestion, is absolutely
perfect as far as I can judge from my
feelings, and although there may be
other stomach medicines just as good as
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, I do not
know what they are. Certainly for
people who travel they are far ahead of
any liquid medicine, as they are so con
venient they can be carried in theDOcket

"I believe they are sold by all druggists
at 50 ctntr, and telieve anyone who will
try them will auree with me that for in

At 2 o'clock yesterday morning the
large shop of the Columbia River St
Grays Harbor Railroad Company at
Ordways old dock, b ctween Stella anil
Oak point, were completely destroyed by
fire. The shop building is a two-story
structure, with a railway running from
the rear to the shore. Thirty men were-
sleeping in the building at the time of
the fire. The fiarueB were first discovered)
In f he carpenter shop next to the railway.
The roadway was destroyed, cutting olT
all means of eecapo to to the shore before
the men realized their danger. There;
were no boats at lian'l, nnd the men had
not even time to get their belongings to
gether, but were compelled to jump into
the river in their night-clothes antE
Bwitn for tho shore. Several of the mem
were very badly burned. One men wbiv
was in a critical condition was taken to
Oak Point for treatment. All the toole
and machinery of the companies and a
number of cars which were iu course of
construction were destroyed with the
building. It is not known whether there
was any ineuranue. Another story Js
that the fire originated iu the blacksmith)
shop.
