The "Dazzler" company, which will
appear in The Dalles on the 12th in. the
Vogt, is now playing to crowded houses
in Portland. The Oregonian says of it:
"The members of the cast are all
specialists and good ones. The humor
is bright, sparkling and full of surprises
and the music is of an unusually high
order.
The first sleighbells of the season were
heard in Walla Walla yeBterday. It
might be casually remarked in the same
connection that they could scarcely be
heard for the grating sound arising from
the.runners and mud coming in contact.
It is barely possible that the liveryman
was sharpening the rnnneis and polish

accomplished the end desired as the
Commercial and Athletic Club. Three!
years ago we had no organization wherejj
might be discussed any measure relating!
to the welfare of our city or which could
be called the headquarters for all such
movements. yBesi3e, ' there 'was. uuCa!
rendezvous lor our young men noi aplace
where the hours could be whiled away
in games or be spent in perusing the
latest magazines and the best of litera-1
ture. Worse than this, when strangers
visitetTus we had no place to take them
for entertainment and where could be
met the leading citizens and a few hours
be spent in giving them an idea of the
city and surrounding country and of our
wonderful resources.
At that time it was decided to fill this
want by starting a club, and one' hundred
charter members were secured, who put
in' $10 each, the monthly flues being
placed at $1.50. The name .signified the
purpose for which it was organized, The
Dalles Commercial and Athletic Club,
and such it has proven Tbe upper
floor of the old Grant building, on tbe
corner of First and Washington street,
was leased and fitted np very comfort
ably, which answeied, the purpose for a
little over a year, when it was found
wholly inadequate and. the lower floor
was also added andtha entire building
transformed into club rooms, which not
only equal any inthe state, but eurpass
most of them and are an ornament to
the city and the pride of every member
Now when visitors come to our city the
first place they are taken tois the club,

Yesterday the following receipt was
handed ub for publication, by a young
man who has eo successfully tried the
remedy that we are every day expecting
an invitation to his wedding. If any
care to further investigate the matter,
apply at The Chronicle office, when we
will refer you to the aforesaid gentleman.
The care i e as follows :
"Take 12 ounces dislike, 1 pound of
resolution, 2 grains of common sense, 2
ounces of experience, a large sprig of
time and three quarts of the cooling
water of consideration. Set them over
the gentle fire of love, eweeten it with
sugar of forgetfulness, skim it with the
SDOon of melancholy, put it in the bot

of clear conscience and let it remain and
you will quickly find ease and be re

It might be a deed of charity to re
fer the above to the Walla Walla couple
to whom the following article, taken
from tbe Statesman, has reference:
A few nights ago a well known hotel
proprietor being on the parlor floor of
his hotel noticed a strong smell of es
caping gas. Alter a short search be
traced the escaping gas to the parlor.
The parlor was dark and the fumes of
gas were almo3t suffocating. He raised
a window, turned off the escaping gas,
and ;then became aware of occupants
in the room. Going to the sofa he
found a young man with a maiden
perched on his lap, both being partially
smothered with escaping gas. The love
sick pair were dragged by the back of
the neck to the open window and soon
reviyed. The hotel man warned them
never again to take such a big dose of
love at one time or it would purely, on
the second dose, have worse effects. The
couple when they went into the room
blew out the gas with the result as
above stated.

those who are old residents, have a soft
spot in their hearts for the old reliable
Jackson Engine Co., No. 1, which has
proved a friend in need in so many con
flagrations since its organization in 1863.
Among the thirty members who at
tended last night's meeting were many
who joined the company in the early 60s
and who arestill active. Times without
number have they fought the nery
demon, asking neither pay nor praise;
but receiving many times unwarranted
censure. They are yet ready to assist
when circumstances demand . it. At
this meeting it was decided to give a
grand ball on tbe evening of Dec. 30th,
and a committee consisting ot Geo.
Liebe. Sr., C. F. Lauer, John Blaser, W.
H. Butts and A. Sandrock were ap
pointed to make the necessary arrange
ments, being instructed by the company
to make, it the grandest affair the city
has ever known, sparing neither pains
nor expenses. '
