Postmaster Crossen today received a
letter from a party by the name of Mrs.
Etta Ronden, of Gunlake, Michigan, in
which she enquires of the whereabouts
of L. B. Joslin formerly of tbis place. If
this notice is read by Mr. Joslin or any

they will confer a favor by writing to
Mrs. Ronden and informing her of his

A number of friends of Mr. and Mrs.
Edwin Hill surprised the young couple
at their home on Fifth and Union street
last evening. The time was spent very
pleasantly in playing some of the "old

after which a bountiful lunch was
served. The guests departed at late hour
all declaring they had spent a most en
joyable evening.

The sheep are the property of William

Last night about ten o'clock rain be
kan falling aud continued until this
morning at 8 o'clock. A few showers fell
Uoday, and in all, a precipitation of over
one half inch. As nearly every farmer
in the country has his grain threshed
the rainfall will do but little damage
and a great benefit will be done the
dusty roads over which they have to
haul their produce. Some farmers who
have their grain sacks piled in the field
along side of their straw stacks may have
had eome difficulty in protecting it from
getting wet, but it is likely the vast
majority of the farmers have their grain
under shelter.

west bound freight was standing on the
track at that place when a double header
crashed into- its rear demolishing seven
cars and blocking the track for several
hours. As far as could be learned no
one was injured, full particulars could
not be learned, however, as the officials
refuse to speak on the subject. The
wreck was probably caused by careless
ness on the part of someone, but to
whom the blame is attributed cannot as
yet be said. The east bound passenger
train which was due here at 11:40 last
night did not arrive until, this morning
and the early morning train was also
delayed.
The Wizard Oil Company put on a
splendid show last night at the Baldwin
Opera House. In fact it is hard to
understand how such a high class per
formance can be put on for the small
sum of 15 cents admission. A large
number of beautiful presents were given
away to those holding reserved seat
tickets, while the best features of the
performance were Mr. Arnaldo in the
balancing feat of heavy and light articles,
Mr. Neverker the contortionist, Mr.
Howard the impersonator, Morton and
Melville in their black faced turns, Jer
ry Sullivan the funny little man in his
aciobatic feats and singing and Mr.
Gallagher in ,hia all around comedy
work, while a number of otbers assisted
in their sketches and farce comedies.
No one should miss seeing their per

Admission 15 cents. Reserved seats,
with privileges to draw on articles which
are raffled, ten cents extra.

er's experince in Libby prison with an
occasional glimpse on the dark side.
Bishop McCabe was the chaplain of the
122d Ohio regimen;, and he paid a high
tribute to its bravery, saying that it en
tered the war 975 strong and came out
with 200. The speaker detailed the cir
custances that led to his capture and in
carceration in Libby prison, following
with a vivid description of bis experien
ces afterward until he was exchanged
and taken to Washington. He told of
the songs the prisoners sung, the man
ner in which they spent their time, and
detailed how the great prison, with its
more than 600 prisoners, obtained books
and became a university of learning.
Nearly the entire audience came forward
and shook hands with the bishop and
tanked him for his fine lecture. There
were a number of the members of the G.
A. R. present, and they were especially
pleased.

Today we received the following testi

says : Two years ago at Beloit, Kansas,
I had the privilege of listening to Chap

to end he held his audience spell bound,
his many funny incidents eliciting roars
of laughter, while hispathetic pictures

BACK FROM CUBA
JOHN MCNEIL ARRIVES TODAY
FROM NEW HOME HOSPITAL
He is one or the First of Onr Brave Boys
to Ketarn From the Cuban Battle
fields. A XV arm Reception Accord
ed 111 in by Bis Many Friends.
This morning one of the brave lads
who parsed through the campaign in
Cuba during the recent war arrived in
the city, and as he is an old Dalles boy
and one who has contributed several
discriptiye letters to this paper, as well
as one who has taken an active part in
various battles duriig that war, bis
friends and the Chronicle take a singu
lar delight in welcoming him home. The
young man who is receiving such a
hearty welcome is none other than John
A. McNeil of troop C, lBt United States
Cavalry. Shortly after his troop went
aboard the transports to come to Long
Island he was taken sick with typhoid
fever and was eent to the hospual in
New Haven, Connecticut. As soon as
he was well enough to travel he got a
thirty days furlough to visit his relatives
and friends in this city and will remain
here until about October 15th.
He has an interesting etory to tell of
his adventures since the opening of the
war. At that time He was a member of the
regular army at Fort Sheridan, Illinois,
and was in the first division of the army
to go to Cuba, and was the second man
of the regulars to set foot on Cuban soil.
He went through the war with Lieuten
ant Davis, being a member of Wheeler's
Brigade. He was in the heat of the bat
tle of Las Guamas on June 24th in the
charge of San Juan Hill and the battle
at that place which lasted two and one
half days, also took part in the siege of
Sautiago, which lasted over seven days.
He has been very fortunate and has
seen comrades fall all around him, but
passed through with but one scar, which
he received on the right side of the face
rom a bursting shell. The nearest call
h3 had to being shot was having a bul
let pass through his canteen.
He is an interesting talker and one
could listen to him relate for hours the
incidents of the campsign. Unlike the
volunteers, the regulars, of which he is
one, have no complaint to make con
cerning the treatment they received,
and although the climate of Cuba is very
disagreeable, still he would cheerfully
