The Dalles Daily Ctoniela, SCBSCKirilON PUICE. One week ' $ 15 One month 50 One year 6 00 TUESDAY - SEPTEMBER 6. 1808 NO "SUPERFLUOUS nr03IEN." J. be government Las published a map showing for each state in the union the number of unmarried men and unmarried women over twenty years of age. With a peculiarly childlike faith the census officials believe they know the exact ages of all the "unattached females," an 3 accordingly they are grouped in five-vear periods. In that particular the statistics are mani festly untrustworthy, but apart from that the figures are absolute. And the3r are very astonishing. They show definitely that the "surplus woman" is a myth. There Is no sur plus of women. There is a shortage of 2.200,000. There are in the United states o,4z,t bachelors over twenty years of age, and only 3,224, 49-4 unmarried women above that age. But this is the least astonishing part of the matter. The chart shows that in absolutely every" state there is an excess of bachelors over maidens. Even in Massachusetts, where tra dition Axes the home of the "surplus women," there are 126,084 available bachelors and only 219.255 spinsters. In Rhode Island there are 2 per cent, more bache.'ors than unmarried . women, in New Hampshire 9 per cent.', in Connecticut 20 per cent., in New Jersey and Virginia 22 per cent., while in Idaho the excess of bachelors over maids is 1,000 per cent., their being 1C,584 unmarried men and only 1,420 single women. "Wyoming and Arizona closely follow, while all the far western states have reason to regard women as one of the "precious metals" because of her scarcity. But the one fact of greatest inter est is that there is in the country not one single state which has not men enough to furnish a husband apiece for all its women. VIRGIN FIELDS FOR TEACHERS. Dr. Harris, the United States Com missioner of Education, has been dil igently searching into the condition of public education in Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines. Thus far he has been able to find out absolute ly nothing as to the literac3' or illiter acy of our new fellow-citizens of Poi to Rico or of the Filipinos, who are in such an interesting state of suspended citizenship. Reasoning by analog3, Ur. Harris would be justified in concluding that educators will have a virgin soil in which to labor in those islands. Our first educational expedition, if wisely assembled, will consist wholly of ex pert kindergartners. As to Cuba, Dr. HaTris has found some facts which raise the gloomiest suspicions as to the whole truth. Ten years ago the date of the last so called Spanish educational report less than 4 per cent, of the inhabit ants attended such wretched public schools and almost useless private schools as Spanish rule permitted. This means that only one child out of five hundred was learning even read ing and writing. Taking the whole population, less than 15 per cent, ot the colored and less than 45 percent, of the white could read and write. Clearly the first result cf American influence in Spain's late possessions must be the "little red school house." The other questions, however vex ing, will solve themselves if this right beginning is made. New York AVorld. Uncle Sam is the possessor of 20, 000 new first-class rifles. Ten thous and Mansers were captured at San tiago and the same number at Manila. The Klondike sufferer is much in evidence in the Northwestern states. His- golden visions can now be measured by a railroad ticket to his old home. Ten days were required to get the news of the hoisting of the flag over Hawaii. "We need a cable to the is lands and no doubt it would be good property. Notice to Delinquent Taxpayers. The delinqent taxes of Wasco connly, as shown on the rolls now in the bands of the Eheriff are $60,000. an amount al most equal to the indebtedness of the county. Every citizen will doubtless admit that this state of affairs Ehoald not exist, and that all tases should be collected. On account of hard times in the past the county court Las shown leniency to taxpayers, but that leniency has reached the limit, and the court cannot wait longer on delinquents to make settlements. For this reason a warrant has been attached to each de linquent roll commanding the sheriff to collect all taxes by seizure and Bale of property. With a bountiful crop now in siht, there can no longer be any rea sonable excuse for the non-paymeat of taxes. The eheriff is bound by oath to comply with the terms of the warrants attached to the tax rolls for the collec tion thereof, and has no option in the matter. Delinquent taxpayers can save the cost of seizure and sale of property by settling their taxes at once. Robert Kelly, Sheriff and Tax Collector for Wasco County. Dated, Augnat 4. 1898. NOTICE.

J as. Ibkland, Agent. a4 30d Deafness Cannot De.Careci by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. 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 thiB tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed for ever; nine cases oat of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an in flamed condition of the mucous sur faces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars ; free. F. J. Cheney & Co..

The rackers at the Battle ofSantiago de Cuba Were all Heroes Their Heroic Efforts In Getting; Ainmuultion and Ztatiuns to the Front Saved the Day. P. E. Butler, of pack-train No. 3, writing from Sandiago, De Cuba, on July 23d, Eays : "We all had diarrhoea in more or less violent form, and when we landed we had no time to see a doctor, for it was a case of rush and rush night and day to keep the troops sup plied with ammunition and rations, but thanks to Chamber; .in's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, we were able to keep at work and keep our health ; in fact, I eincerely believe that at one critical time this medicine was the in direct eaviour cf our army, for if the packers had been unable to work there would have been no way of getting sup plies to the front. There were no roads that a wagon train could use. My com rad and myeelf had the good fortune to lay in a 6upply of this medicine for oui pack-train twfore we left Tampa, and I know in four cases it absolutely saved life."
