McKee, who has been head miller in the Gordon mill at Tygh Valley, has taken charge of the mill at Cove, Or.' The first colored man to be favored with an office at the hands of the Oregon legislature is A. D. Griffin, editor of the New Age, Portland, who is aergeant-at-arms of the house. The city authorities are today having the county surveyor locate the corners of the lots in the burnt district before the buildings are put np, that future dif ficulty may be avoided. Today the Dalles National bank fore closed its mortgage on the Columbia stock yards, and they were' sold at auc tion to the highest bidder, being bought in by the Laughlin estate. A band of 250 cattle were in the stock yards today, being purchased from Howard & Stearns, of Prineville, for the Union Meat Co. Hon. John Fulton also left for Sherman county this morn ing with twenty-seven bead of cattle. Yesterday in mentioning the days when the library will be open we in advertently left out Friday. The days are Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays in the eyenine and Saturday afternoon. A telegram received from Hon. Leasure and others, who were to be present this evening and organize' the Native Sons of America, announces their failure to con nect, and therefore the organization will be deferred until some time next week. Among the eightjmembers of the Ten nessee Students, who will be here on Monday and Tuesday of next week, are four of the orginal Jubilee Singers. Ev ery member of the company is a soloist of merit, and Dalles people will regret if they do not hear them. It is expected that Rev. Polling, the new pastor of the Congregational church, will arrive in the city tomorrow, and begin his duties on ext Sunday. This will be welcome news to the mem bership and congregation, who have been so many months without a pastor. The light showerB of rain last night and this morning were very welcome as they are much needed to settle the dust, which travelers Bay is very bad in the country. A gentleman who made the trip to Dufur yesterday says it is diffi cult to determine whether one is on foot or horseback, so blinding is the dust, caused mostly by the wheat teams which one encounters. Let the wheat teams kick up all the dust they want to; the more the merrier, when we consider every load contains wealth for our farmers, and therefore for us. Passenger train No. 1 was twelve hours late today, pulling in at the depot at 3 o'clock. The delay was caused by a wreck twenty-three miles this side of Montpelier, Idaho. Two freight trains collided causing a serious wreck, in which several persons were killed. No particu lars could be obtained. In the window of Harry Liebe's jew elry store may be seen a number of most interesting Spanish souvenirs which weresent by Ben Ullrich, of Co. L, to his father in this city. Among them we noticed a deck of Spanish cards, coat of arms, an old manuscript of 1776, a cartridge taken from a Spanish ship, voucher which their soldiers- receive for salaries, a lottery ticket, a' rosary, pic ture of a Spanish soldier buttons from uniforms, sea shells from Manila bay, ivory key of an organ in Manila cathed ral, also a prism from a chandelier in the same cathedral, and some articles which, not being versed in the Spanish language, we will not mention. Mr. Ullrich values these very highly, and well he may from their association with events of such moment. This morning, while Mr. C.L. Phillips' horse, which was hitched to his de livery cart, and had been driven to the boat, was standing waiting for the driver to return, he took offense at the shrill ness of the first whistle, and determined to make a kick. So gathering up his courage, he started on a rnn up the hill. Half way up he encountered a wagon, and jumping over the wagon, got him self into trouble, for he awoke to find himself entangled- in the shafts, one above and the other beneath him, while the cart was standing on its bead. As he stopped for a moment to consider the situation and wonder if he hadn't better join a circus as a contortionist, Mr. Phillips arrived and checked his am bitions by straightening him out and driving him home, where he will be taught a little horse sense. Many who attended the Wizard Oil entertainment last night were heard to remark that they had listened to a fifty cent program for fifteen cents. Some how the shows given by this company never grow old, for every member is an artist. Gallagher is a comedian hard to beat, and no matter how often he sings "He Grows More Like his Dad Every Day", he is always greeted with ap plause. Every feature of the entertain ment deserves mention, but perhaps the most pleasing was the musical specialties by George Melville and his wife. It eeems that the commonest article of every day use contains music when touched by them. His rendition of "Kentucky Home" on the sleigh-bells seemed to captivate the andienee, while "Sweet Marie", from the throats of a few cow-bells was very nearly as taking. Many of the audience went home carry ing useful presents, which were given away with medicine, and a very pretty ring was drawn by a lady, from numbers given at the door. - The ladies' societies of the various churches are again taking np their winter's work, and yesterday afternoon the Good Intent Society held a meeting at the home of Mrs. C. W. Dietzel. There was any amount of business to transact in connection with their com ing fair, and so busy were they that even their nostrils did not detect a faint aroma of coffee from the dining room until their hostess stepped in and in vited them to the most unique, as well as palatable lunches they had ever par taken of. It was termed a "German coffee", and if any tine preeent had ever doubted the superiority of the Germans over other cooke, .they changed their minds yesterday, for every lady yielded the palm on that occasion. The society expects to renew their efforts this win ter in the interest of their church's finances. l'oster Party. In connection with the regular meet ings of the Ladies Aid society of the Congregational church, it bae been the custom to frequently have an afternoon devoted principally to social converse, games, etc. Yesterday.'afternoon such a meeting was held at the home of Mrs. E. C. Pease, which wad called a poster party. From the different magazines and newspapers shehad culled a num ber of cuts used in advertising and fa miliar to everyone, that is, eupposed to be so, until we attempt to tell what particular article they advertise, and then comes the tug of war. These had been tacked on the wall and the ladies spent part of the afternoon in guessing just what they call our attention to. Mrs. Geisendorfer has evidently been reading The Ciiroxicle for she succeed ed in carrying away the two very pretty chocolate cups and saucers as a proof of her observing faculty. Mrs. Grey, who has not quite such good eyesight, but reads just the same, won the consola tion prize. The hostess had decorated her parlors as only one of her good taste can, and Berved a lunch which was in keeping with the success of the afternoon's pleasures. These afternoons are calcu lated to awaken interest in the work of the society, as well as create good feel ing and sociability between its members. 9 The Chief Burgess of Milesburg, Pa. says De Witt's Little Early Risers are the best pills be ever used in him family during forty years of house keeping.

At the close of the meeting of the National Editorial Association at Den ver, which adjourned on Friday, Sep tember 9th, the newspaper people board ed a special train, composed of eleven coaches, and started for a tour of the wonderful sight-seeing state, Colorado. The first day was spent at Loveland, a place of about 2,000 inhabitants, situa ted fifty miles from Denver, on the Union Pacific. Denver & Gulf railroad. It is lively as a cricket and energetic as a flea. It has frnit-growingand farming interests all around, and every farm shows industry and thrift. Here the annual corn-roast was taking place. Not a regular feet-toasting epree, but a time when the fresh, green ears of corn are roasted in open trenches and served piping hot. Added to this "delicacy" was a genuine banquet served in a large tent, foi the benefit of hungry editors, and in the words of the immortal poet, the aforesaid editors fairly "groaned" beneath the load, and had to Le conveyed in carriages over the country. Many on the Becond day took in the trip over the Loop, which was not so pleasant on account ot the frigidness of the atmosphere as it would have been on a clearer day. On reaching the lunch station or half-way bouse, a snow storm was encountered, but it was fleeting.and by the time Silver Plume, at the end of the journey, was reached, the winding path of the snake-like road could' be distinguished clearly for miles, and the wonderful meaoderings of the famous Loop, were plain to be seen, crossing and re-crossing itself, until, like a crazy quilt, it gives up and quits the job when it finds a place large enough to deposit tourists, who by this time have no idea "where they are at" in trying to trace the road over which they came. The loop trip was formerly considered the greatest one-day attraction the state affords ; but within the . past six months a formidable rival has made its appear ance in the shape of the journey over the Colorado and Northwestern to Ward. This route is often termed the "Switzer land Trail of America", and even that appellation, with all its comprises, does not hint at its grandeur. The road is narrow gauge and leaving the growing little city of Boulder, the traveler is carried through the canyon by the same name which is one of the deepest and narrowest gorges in the world, climbing I at first at the rate of 200 feet to the j mile, and passing mine after mine con- j taming the richest of ore. How we ever, passed them we cannot tell. From Francis, a small mining station 'to Ward is only 3,500 feet, yet we run three miles by raii to get there north, south, east and west, soon reaching Point Franken berger, named in honor of the civil engineerwho accomplished this thrill ing elevation. Old camp Ward finally comes into view, 9,450 feet above sea level, and in coming over 26 A miles of track we have been lifted 4,000 feet near er the place where the skeptical 8 re foolish enough to say editors will never go. Hastening, we will but mention the lunch here spread, although columns could be written and not do the subject justice, for evidently the ladies under stood the usual diet of their guests (air) was almost too light in that atmosphere. What shall be said ' of the following day's delights, when, having traveled in the night, we found ourselves in Colorado Springs, with Pike's Peak' in vitingly looming up in the distance, the the Garden of the Gods near at hand and Cheyenne ca- y n,w t'l its mysteriep, among them a tempting dinner, but a few minutt'a ride from thedepot.Oregir, as usual, was bound to see it all, and accordingly started early toreach"Pike's Peak or bust." Upon retarning home they found that they were "busted", but not from a failure to reach the peak, as a futnre article will show. To Care a Cold In One Day. Take Laxative Bromo Quinine Tab lets.
