there ia no doubt that his successor, Mr.
Mays, will prove as faithful, hard work
ing and caretul official as his prede
cessor. Yesterday morning J. C. O'Leory,
who was shot in Grass Valley Sunday
by Fred Walker, was taken to St. Vin

James Swart, a Pendleton anglar,
cought alarge three-pound New England
brook trout in Meacham creek the other
day. These trout were planted in the

Already there are thousands of them in
the verious streams of the country, but
being wary, they are seldom caught.
The contract for carrying the mail be
tween The Dalles and Prineville has
been awarded to J. L. Yoden for $4944 a
year, about half what it, is worth to give
u good daily service. It is hard to un
derstand how people can afford to make
such bids as this. This mall route is
certainly worth more than this amount
and it is hard to understand why people
should bid this low and be out of pocket
in order to secure the contract.
A rumor was afloat Monday evening
that Sampson's fleet had been disabled.
Howover this is considered a Spanish
canard, and the Americau people will
not swallow such trash until the report
is corroborated by more reliable author
ity than Madrid dispatches. Humors
are the order ot the age, but if you
should hear it rumored that Dad Butts
has got the only bargains in real estate,
you may believe it, and don't wait for a
dispatch from Hong Kong to corrobo
rate the fact, but walk up to the office of
Dufur & Dufnr, and Dad Butte' dispatch
boat will meet you with detailed Infor
mation. Within 10 days, George A. Houck &
Co., cattle dealers of Monroe, Lane
county, are to deliver to an Eastern
buyer 1100 head of stock cattle. Tho
buyer is A. H, Arnett, and his. pur
chases in Orogon aro for the North
Dakota raugea. The delivery ia to be
made on the arrival of Arnett from the
East at Corvallia and Monroe. The
cattle have boon gathered up by the
local buyers during the last six months,
400 having been wintered in , the vicinity
of Monroe. They are to be taken Ertst
by rail, and will make a very full train
load. The prices at which the transfer
will be made have not been made public.
At 7:30 last evening the fife and drum
corps of this city turned out and
marched through the principal streets
In order to draw a crowd to hear "Cy
clone" Davis, of Texas. There success
waa not marked, however, for a rather
small audience were present to hear the
advocate of free silver. This meeting
was like, the one held by Will R. King in
Heppner Saturday night. Little enthu
siasm was shown and it seemed that
there was something in DaviB' calamity
howling that did not please his listeners.
During tho hard times ot a few years
ago our people might have lent an ear
to his talk, but with the existing good
times under the present administration
they gave a deaf ear to him.
Deputy County Clark Walter Ruble
of Whitman county appeared before
Judge McDonald Monday to show cause
why he ehould not be punished for con
tempt. Through his attorney, he moved
for a change of venue, filing an affidavit
that Judge McDonald had bitter per
sonal enmity against him, and for nearly
a year had been trying to haye bim dis
charged from his position as deputy
county clerk. Judge McDonald stated
that he believed Ruble's affidavit was it
self contemps of court. Prosecuting At
torney Matthews whb instructed to file
an information and have Ruble brought
to trial for contempt of court. The case
will be heard tomorrow morning.
In the Swim.
Since the opening of the spring the
beautiful evenings lure our townspeople
into the open air, and in consequence
the bowling is gradually falling off at
the club alleys.
Last evening the club rooms were at
the disposal of both the members and
ladies, but the crowd was very small
and it was plain that this amusement
reaches its zenith in the winter months
and wanes rapidly with the approach of
summer.
There is one thing that we should
have in our club rooms during the hot
summer months, and that is a large
"plunge," where the members can
bathe and while away the sultry Rum
mer days.
The Columbia at this point is entirely
too cold and dangerous for bathing, and
it would require but little time and ex
pense" to have a flue pool in our club
roome. There Ia a large cellar under
neath the club, a part of which could be
used for this purpose, doing away with
the necessity of excavating and thereby
making the cost nominal.
Many of the club members are anx
ious to have this matter carried through
and if it handled properly it can certain
ly bo accomplished.

Word waa received yesterday that
Mrs. Johns, wife of our well-known
townsman, Thomas Johns, had died at
the home of her daughter, Mrs. John
O'Neil, in Spokane.
Mrs. Johns, or rather Bessie Prltch
ard, since that waa her maiden name,
was born In Wales about 58 years ago.
When she was 21 years old she married
ThomaB John?, and twenty-seven yeara
ago thoy came to this county, and
eleven years later they camo to The
Dalles, so that they have lived here
about sixteen years.
For about three months she has been
ailing, and a few weeks ago eho and Mr.
Johns went to Spokane to visit their
daughter, Mrs. John O'Neil, hoping the
change would be beneficial; but the
hope proved a vain one, and for tho
past week she has been sinking rapidly.
Mrs. Johns was one of those kind,
motherly women, who by hor good
natured, helpful manner made everyone
feel that the world would be much
better off were all women so devoted to
their home9 and the good of those
around 'them. She waa a devoted
Christian, and a member of tho Baptist
church, so that not only will she bo
missed by her family, her friends and
neighbors, but in the work of the church
to which she belonged.
She leaves, beside her husband, six
Children, three girls and three hoys
Mrs. John O'Neil, of Spokane, Mrs. H.
H. Campbell and Bessie Johns, of The
Dalles; Samuel, Walter and David
Johns, of this city.
The remains will be brought to this
city for interment, and will no doubt
arrivoon the 6:55 train this morning.
The date for the funeral has not been
set, but, in all probability, it will take
place at 2 p. m. Thursday.
Mrs. A. C. Stubling & Son have a
beautiful assortment of pansies which
they are closing out at 20c per dozen.
Bouquets delivered to any part of the
city at 25s and upwards. Carnations
and roses in bud at 15c each, 9 for $1.
