The city council of Wasco Tuesday
j' night voted to bond the city for $2500 to
purcnase an adequate water worKs sys
tem. The work will be began on it im
mediately. Persons coming from the Greenhorn
mountains say that Geo. Randall has
discovered and opened up a rich ledce
of free-mining ore. An assay of picked
ore averages $65 per ton. Randall, with
a large family, rocently moved to the
Greenhorn monntains from drought-
stnckened California.
Tuesday evening the little daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Al Bettingen was riding
a tricycle, when in some way she was
thrown off, fracturing one of the bones
of her arm at the elbow. The fracture
was reduced by Dr. Geisendorfer, and
although it is a painful one, the little
girl is getting along nicely.
Fred Waffle, a brakeman on the O. R.
& N., had a narrow eecape from death
at the recently burned Horseshoe Curve
bridge, between Durkee and Unity, last
week. The train bad been cut in two
and Waffle was attending to bis duty on
the top of a freight car. The car upon
'which he was riding and another car
left the rails on the bridge, where it was
thirty-eight feet to the ground. The
cars tore up the ties for a distance of
thirty or forty feet, but luckily for him
did not turn over or leave the bridge.
Those who know'the circumstances say
:0
since
of
o
that he will never have a closer call for
his life.
The proposition to issue 20,000 worth
of bonds to build a schoolhouse in dis
trict Mo. 1, Union county, which in
cludes the city of La Grande, was de
feated in the election held Friday after
noon in La Grande. Only 134 votes
were cast. Of theee 63 were for the is
suance of the bends and 71 against the
measure. .
Last night Dr. Hollister returned from
Portland where he was assisting in an
operation which-was performed yester
day on Thomas Twohig for appendicitis
at Sr. Vincent's Hospital. Mr. Twohig
is in a critical condition but with good
care will probably pull through. His
sister Katy Twohig, who for a number
of years has been employed in the Uma
tilla House, is also reported quite sick.
Yesterday the new Dalles City came
up to the locks and transferred with the
Sarah Dixon. Owing to the fact that
some work has to be done on the boilers
of that boat, it will not be up for several
days, as the workmen in Portland take
advantage of the stay over night there
to complete the job. Everything about
the boat is as good as new, and when it
again appears on the upper river it will
have all the appearances of an entirely
new craft.
Although the promoters of the Tele
gram excursion worked as hard as pos
sible, they were somewhat disappointed
by a small crowd. Not over fifty left
the city for Portland, which was proba
bly due to the fact of yesterday being
collection day, and the large number of
people who are out of the city at pres
ent. Quite a number went from points
down the road, however, so that the ex
cursion was not so disappointing as it
might have been. There were six cars
on tho train;
The principal business houses have

inis is certainly ac commendable move
as business is at pesent somewhat light
on account of the lumber of people who
are out of tow
and little trading is
done later than
us hour. If all the
business establi
iiments won Id follow
the example o
these stores the em
ployes who havefto work hard during
ttie warm weathlr would be able to bet
ter enjoy the coJl evenings and nothing

Last evening when the Dixon was
making the landing at ttiis place an ac
cident wr.s narrowly averted. " On. ac
count of the strong wind it was neces
sary to run the boat in at a rapid rate
of speed, and as it came near the wharf
two boys foolishly attempted to cross
its track in a sailboat. The captain
sighted them and blew the whiBtle, and
it was with the utmost exertion and
scheming on the part of the boys that
they were not ran down. This experi
ence will probably make thttn more
careful in future,
COUNCIL MEETING.
Held at the Council Chamber Last Even
ing Matters of Boslness Attended
- to Bills Allowed.
The monthly meeting of tbe common

presided with - Councilman Gunning,
Stephens, Johnston, Johns, Barnett,
Kellar, Butte and Kuck, present.
The petition of Phil Brogan et al, for
the removal ot the cow prund from its
present location was considered, and, on
motion, was referred-to the committee
on health and police.

hog pen of Mr. Jackson, near the city,
removed on the pretense of its being a
public nuisance, was read, and, on mo
tion was referred to the committee on
streets and public property.
A complaint was made concerning cer
tain parties doing an express business
without paying license. " The marshal
was instructed to collect the license of
those parties or stop them from deliver
ing goods for hire.

for hauling the engine and hose carts to
fires at night, was reduced from ten and
five dollars to five dollars and two dol
lars and fifty cents. The amount paid

which, at present, is the same as the feo

and, on motion, was referred to tlie com
mittee on fire and water.
The matter of the reduction ot the
rtnt en the city occupied by W. A.Kir
by, was looked into by the finance com- j
mittee. It appears that the rent on the

Kirby, not being aware of the raise, had
allowed back rent to accrue. On motion
the finance committee was granted an
extension of time to look into the details
of the matter.

motion was left to vote of the council.

tion the request was granted by the

The Dalles Instrumental Quartette

audience in the Levans' hall in this city
on Tuesday night. The people of the

clever. Clinton Alden plays second
mandolin and shows a great deal of
talent, also Messrs. Parkins and Reese
with their respective instruments.

be a master of that instrument, also he
proved himself a vocalist, the bit of the
evening being his rendition of "Ziz,
Zazazumzuni."

guitar duett, which was very pleasing.

old resident ot this city and many of his
friends were present to hear him.

bovs, and showed the Locks people that

Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
flamed you have a . rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en
tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused)
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
