Be quick about eecur-fl ing seats, they are going like hot cakeai Don't fail to hear Clark and IlampJ shire in their Dutch sketch and Will Croseen in his Negro sketch tonight at the fair. j The tr.eeiinz of the Hieh School Liter-: ary Society which was announced for'i this evening has been postponed till next Friday evening. The program al ready prepared wilt be rendered then. This morning A.' Heilbury who is employed by Everding & Farrell in their Balmon cannery, caught his right band in the cog wheel of the machinery and badly mashed his thumb. He came to the city, where Dr. Hollister dressed the wound. This morning about 11 o'clock J. 8. Fish received a telegram which an nounced that his mother was sinking very rapidly at her. home in Lafayette. Mr. and Mrs. Fish left on a freight train at 11 :30 for Portland, but it is not likely they can arrive before dissolution takes place. Mrs. Fish is well known in The Dalles, having lived here for some time. The weather is much warmer today, and it seems hardly possible with the sun tshiaing so brightly, that the rivei running by ns is blocked with ice, anc yet this morning it was solid enough ti admit of a two-horse team and wa?oi passing over, while a short time afterj ward a band of hogs was driven over from the other side. Al Grabam is ea gaged today in shoveling a path so that he can bring over some freight tomor row on band sleds, which is the way the mail is brought.' Mrs. Christina Kirn, who died at the Good Samaritan hospital Tuesday was the wife of Fred Kirn who lost bis life on Mt. Hood less than a year ago when attempting to reach the summit with out a guide.

The Columbia" Southern" railway baa, (completed its road to Moro. The last spike was driven Wednesday amid the blowing of whistles and the ringing of belle, at 5 :30 p. m. The citizens who have been watching the' rapid progress of the work under numerous trying cir cumstances, the worst of all being the cold weather and frozen ground, during the nas, ten davs could scarcely wait for the time when they could sav with out doubt, "Wehave a railroad." The men who so faithfully carried on the work, despite the inclement weather, were that evening treated to a royal I spread at the city hotel, given by the railroad company. , ' A telephone message from Pufur this morning informs us that we were badly misinformed as to the marriage which was reported In yesterday's Chronicle as happening atDufur Wednesday even ing. Having no suspicion as to the veracity qf our informant and not being acquainted with the parties referred to, no investigation was made. The CnnoNiCLK is far from having any de sire to join in the "holy bonds" any who may not so desire, and regret very much that the mistake occurred. How ever, as even a newspaper is not au thotity on such subjects, the couple are not necessarily married. Certain it is, that anyone who would tamper with the truth in regard to so eeriouf a matter, is capable of all kinds of villainy. Y Messrs. S. L. .brooks, Geo. Liebe, and Geoage W. Miller who went to Hood River yesterday for the pur pose of appraising the land adjacent to the river, preparatory to the building of the saw mill there, and other improve menta to be made by the Lost Lake Lumbering Company, were compelled to remain over until today, their work Vnot being completed yesterday, it the plans icrmuiaieonjy tne company are carried out, they will make a great transformation at that place, among which will be grading and practically removing the steep hill which must be climbed in reaching the town from the boat landing. A dispatch from Hood River says: "An informal reception was tendered Messrs. P. S.

Good Attendance at the Fair Mis Bloch Sings "Star Spangled Banner" Tonight's Program. A larger crowd than was present the 'night before attended the fair last even ing, and remarks were heard from every pirection in regard to their surprise at ading the ball so comfortable; indeed might have been considered by many is too warm, j The program opened with an instru mental duet by the Misses Nickelsen', who at a late hour kindly consented to fill- a place which was unavoidably vacated. They were more than well re ceived. Miss Bloch has fairly won The Dalles audiences not alone by her singing, but by her charming personality, which is wholly devoid of affectation. While every selection given by her was beauti ful in the extreme, enthusiasm reached its bounds when as her last encore she eang "Star Spangled Banner." The wealth of sweetness, power and wonder ful expression which her voice contains were shown to the best advantage in this selection which even under ordinary cir cumstances, stirs every American heart. Miss Bessie French's rendition of "That Old Sweetheart of Mine," was very taking, and seemed just suited to her sweet manner. However, her en Sore, of an entirely different nature, was equally as well given. The twelve little Indian girls, in c istutne, who came out and after going t irougb a drill, sang an Indian song, s iemed to capture the audience. Indeed t ley were perfect in their actions and CDuId not have impersonated the klootch- man in a Detter ma ' Tonight will be the last night of the fair, when the following excellent pro gram will be given : Instrumental Duet Messrs.

VTe Do No, Censure, but Commend Ladles of tne Bed Cross Society. We were very sorry to find the follow ing letter from a Dalles resident in the Oregonian yesterday, having been re ceived by the Red Cross Society of Port land : 'We are informed by good reliable persons that fnod and other articles that is sent to the soldiers i9 opened and taken out the food you say is too rich for the soldiers, eo you appropriate this to your own use, strange to say that you would run euch desperate chances with that rich food ; the mail also has been tampered with. Now if this pilfering is not stopped you will get into Eerious trouble." Being much surprised to find euch a complaint bad been made from this city, we immediately inquired as to what the general opinion in The Dalies is concerning the work of the Red CroEB Society in Portland and the action of these noble ladies in regard to the mat ter referred to. As nearly as we can determine, this is far from being the sentiment of the auxiliary in this city, or of any of those whom we bave questioned who bave sent boxes from here. On the con trary, the work done by that society bas given entire satisfaction and their nn tiring'efforts, given gratuitously, highly commended. It is understood by all that in some cases re-packing was quite necessary and we are very grateful that it was done. Knowing that these ladiej belong to the best families in Portland and are i DOLLS TOYS We have the largest assortment ever displayed in The Dalles, and you will find our prices are lower than all of our competitors.

PEASE certainly not in need of any of these little glasses of jelly, etc., sent to our soldier boys, to assuage their own hunger, we resent such a preposterous idea. In every community are found sore heads, even in The Dalles. Some peo ple would kick were they to be given a seat next to the throne in heaven (.which is not likely in this case). We therefore beg the ladies of Portland to give little heed to such complaints, re membering that such peoplo are not representative Dallesites. Neithero do our people commend such foolish ac cusations. Only a few days ago the Emergency Corps here received a request from these same pilferers (?) that reading matter be sent to the boys, as an opportunity will be afforded to ship it the last of the month. Their very acts bave proven that they are heart and' soul in the work for the good of our volunteers.
