It is not generally known that there is a daily issue of "Harper's"', but such is a fact. Ask Stubling. Today has been an ideal day for col lection day. Indeed it is a perfect day in every respect. Talk about the "rare" days of June; what's the matter with October? R. B. Hood was busy yesterday ar ranging the furniiure in bis new store, in the burnt district. He has new and second-hand goods, and says he ie pre pared to sell cheaper than he ever did. (The ladies of the Congregational church will give a reception for the new minister, the Rev. D. V.

If the reporter had been able to reach' the Eaat End this morning, no doubt many items of interest could haveloeen gleaned from this hub of business activ ity ; but not even a pedestrian could make way through the countless wbeajj teams lined up in front of the wars houses. However, a telephone message informe us wheat is eelling the same as-l yesterday, at fifty cents. y-The matter of repairing the road and opening a street between the properties of Robt. Mays and M. Randall, on the ; hill, is an important one. This Bhort I1 road really is private property belonging r to the two gentlemen mentioned, who j. have offered to donate it to the city pro- j viding work is done in putting it in good shape, as it is now not fir. far iir This will be a great convenience and should be done The first frost of the season occurred laat night, though not severe enough to do any damage. Tins' is considered early for its appearanc, although Mr. Brooks informs us thsCt since 1875 we have bad frost on theid of October three different years in 1JR77, 1878 and 1884. The latest date of ire arrival since that time was on October 31, 1876. For some time much discussion and controversy have been going on over the matter of making Hood river a pnblic highway, arising mostly over the fran chise obtained by Winans Brothers. A petition was presented to the county court aeking that this stream be de clared a public highway, and County PEASE Commissioner Evans has been instructed to procure the necessary right of way as required by law. His report will proba bly be presented at the next term of court. In looking over today's Oregonian we came across a large cnt, which was sup posed to represent Hon. Albert S. RobertP, pint representative of Wasco and Sherman counties. However, like the school boy's picture of a cow, it had to be labeled before any of his friends could tell who it was. We claim Mr. Roberts as a Dallesile, and are proud to do so; but always thought him good looking enough to sic for his own photo graph. C. B. Durbm lost nearly his entire band of thoroughbred Spanish and De laine bucks at Prairie City recently. He sava he thinks they were poisoned by strychnine. Dr. Belknap examined the stomachs and found the mucous membrane eaten out and the entrails were pefectly smooth and white. If the cause had been due to alkali the en trails would have shown presence of grit. This is quite a loss to Mr. Durbin, as he had a band of 400 bead, eayB the Grant County News. r The action of the council last nizht in gard to lighting our streets with arc ghts will meet the approval of a long, uffering public, who Lave been clamor ing for more light ever since they have been deprived of what was the pride of the city the arc lights. While ap preciating the tact that the council did what they deemed expedient for the wel fare of the city, it was a question in many minds whether in the long run it was not a mistake to remove them. It is therefore hoped that ere long we will bask in the brilliant light afforded flby the electric current and cease groping I nTTlarknesB. On Thursday evening the Columbia river branch of theWoman'sForeignMi9 aionary Society of the M. E. church will convene in tins city, continuing over Sunday. It is expected that about seventy-five delegates from Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Montana will be present, and for some weeks past the ladies of that society have been prepar ing entertainment for their guests. An excellent program has been prepared for eacn meeting, ana as two or three return missionaries will be in attendance and give addresses on their work, all cer tainly will be interested and entertained The pubHo ia invited to be preeent. it any who nave been accustomed to paying a dollar lor any kind of enter tainment worth listening to, attended the concert given by the Tennessee Students last night with the expectation of hear mg a twenty-nve-cent snow, tney were pleasantly disappointed. The members of this company have fine voices, and the singing was worth double the price of admission, while their selections include a number of the very latest songs. Their choruses were particular ly good, perhaps the most pleasing be ing "Those Ding Dong Bells," although many of them were worthy of mention. The male trio was excellent and was compelled to answer several encores. Some of the dancing was first-class, es pecially that of Susie Williams, who is also the contralto sineer. Another en tertainment will be given tonight, and those who failed to attend last n:ght should hear them tonight. 9 & MAYS. LET THERE BE LIGHT. So Said tlie Dads at Their Meeting Last Might, and so Sajr We All of Us. The regular monthly meeting of the city council was held last eveninor. Mayor Nolan presided, with Councilmen Stephens, Keller, Barnett, Kuck, Gun ning, Butts and Johneton preeent. A committee on charter for Dalles City was appointed, consisting of Keller, Kuck, Johns and Menefee. The petition of H. Herbring to es tablish a grade on the west end of Third street was referred to the committee on street and public property with power to act. The petition of Hawn and Walthers to open a saloon was granted. In regard to the building of a new fire bell tower the committee on fire and water was instructed to receive bids tor the building of same, the cost not to exceed $250. Engineer George Brown reported a de fective chimney in the fire house. On motion the committee on fire and water was instructed to build a new one. At this point a discussion arose as to the advisibility of the city opening up a street through Mays' and Randall's property up to Tenth street, eaid prop erty owners agreeing to grant the city right-of-way. On a motion being made the council will, on next Friday after noon, view this piece of ground. The council last evening took a differ ent view of the light question than they have heretofore, and every one of the councilmen present expressed their de sire of having light, not small lamp lights, but fifteen big arc lights. The cost of these lights will be $10.50 a month per light for a two years' con tract. The committee having called up on Mr. French and investigated the matter explained that the company had done their beet in making a rate on the lights, the cost of putting them in being about $900, as a new condenser would have to be purchased. Iu order to help defray the expenses of the light, Councilman Stephens made a motion that a 1 mill tax be levied, which was carried. ioe reports oi tno city omcers were read and accepted and warrants ordered drawn for the same.

Coals Peterson Is Struck by a Train and Killed Willie In an Intoxi cated' Condition. Sunday at 7:30 o'clock s a freight I train was passing through Cascade Locke, the engineer noticed a man sitting on the platform in close proximity to the track. The whistle was blown, and ex pecting that the man had taken warn ing, the train passed on ; but, as the un fortunate man was in no condition to heed anything, the cow-catcher struck him on the head, whirling his body in the air and depositing it some distance away on the platform. When picked up he was already dead, evidently not hav ing known what Btruck him. It seems that the man, whose name was Louis Feterson, was quite, well known at tLe Locks and was considered induatrous and hard working. He had been employed by a man since August, who Sunday morning paid him $11, with which he purchased about $3 worth of provisions, spending the remainder for liquor, which accounts for the sad acci dent which caused his death. Becom ing intoxicated, he sat down on the plat form and was sound asleep, his body bent toward the track and his head on his breast, when the train approached. He was not a married man, and was living alone at the Locks, but claimed to have a sister in Portland. The coroner's jury brought in the following verdict : Cascade Locks, Oct. 3, 1S98. We, the jury impaneled by W. H. Butts, coroner of Wasco county, to in quire into the cause of the "death of Louis Peterson on the 2nd day of October, 1898, at the Cascade Locks in Wasco County, state of Oregon, find a9 follows: That the deceased was a native of Den n.ark about forty-five yearB of age, and that death was caused by fracture of the skull and we believe bybeing struck by a parsing train, causing death instantly". And we further find from the evi dence that the said Louis Peterson came to his death by his own carleeEnees. . D. L. Cates, ; C. H. Frank, John Trana, " A. B. Glazier, W. H. Glazier, E. Mebvin.

The Senatorial Flelit in Full Blast Cor bett Snre to Late Chances for a Dark Home Good. . Two distinct Republican caucuses were held at Salem last night for the purpose of nominating a senator At the Corbett caucus thirty-eix members were present and Corbett received thirty-one votes ; M. C. George 4 and Joseph Simon 1. At the anti-Corbett caucus twenty-two members participated and four other Re publicans were vouched for as being in sympathy with them, though unable to be present. They agreed to oppose unitedly Mr. Corbett, but the members were left free as to whom they should vote for aside from him. A special today from Salem says the fight is now orr. In the senate this morning Corbett had thirteen votes; George, 6; A. S. Bennett, 6; Hewitt, 1; Aiken, 2; Williams, 1; Colton, 1. In the house Corbett received 23; Ellis 1 ; Williams 4; Dunne 1 ; George 10; Bennett IS; Aiken 3. The requisite number of votes required for election be ing forty-six, Corbett now lackB ten of the goal, which only strengthens his chances of defeat. Under the present showing it looks much as if the condi tions existing at the time of McBride's election are to be repeated and that a dark horse will again step in. A later dispatch points to M. C. George as the strongest candidate, and says no change is expected in tomorrow's jint assembly. The Corbett men will proba bly break Monday-.

Washington Street, at ttyis office. iu the bouse this morning, more this afternoon. and several A Lack; Escape. The Dalles had a narrow escape last night from fire, which, if it had gained headway, would no doubt have entirely obliterated the frame buildings opposite The Chronicle office. At 11 o'clock the junk man, who is plying his vocation in the city at present, was going down the alley back of Kinersly's drug store,when he noticed flames bursting up in the back end of Da Bois' furniture etore. Hurrying into the drug store he informed Mr. Kinersly, who grabbed a fire extin guisher, burst in the front door oi the building and found the room full of smoke and Eeveral pieces of furniture all ablaze. It seems that Louis Pulskey.an employe in the Etore, and who was sleeping there at the 'time, bad placed his bed too near the air-tight heater,and that the mattress after smoking some time had finally ignited and caught the furniture near it. The fire bell being rung, the hose were immediately on the spot and the engine was ready for work, but the flames had been extinguished by smothering them with quilts and using a few buckets of water. Strange to say the occupant of the bed, who is slightly deaf, was oblivious to his peril until his feet were badly scorched and his hair singed somewhat, when he awoke to the situation. The damage to the stock was slight, the bed, a number of quilts and some dishes being destroyed, as well as injur' done to a few pieces of furni ture. 'Twas a lucky escape.
