If the public will continue the reading of these quotations they will find seme -new things every few days

John Doe was arrested yesterday after
noon for being drank and disorderly
He, however, bad dough in name only.
so was not able to pay his fipe. ' How
ever, when be found hie cake was dough,
he was very penitent, and promising to
do better, was set free.
The weather report for tomorrow says
fair, and we hope no warmer. While
we are having such delightful days we
sympathize with the residents of Port
land and valley towns who are wadin
in slush. Although it is thawing a littl
ere, it is not yet disagreeable. -A
committee composed of Councilm
Stephens, Gunning and Butts, toget
with Recorder Gates, are . working li
white heads preparing the new blan
license ordinance for the city. Wbe:
is completed we will have to pay lie
for living, or even for walking around
pay funeral expenses. It would
cheaper to let Coroner Butts hold an i
quest over us at once
Mr. Bolton looked sheepish wben we
called at the clerk's office this afternoon,
and upon inquiring tor an item be re
sponded that there was a marriage
license granted, but that the parties re
quested it be kept out of the papers.
And so a marriage license has not only
proved its efficiency in stopping the
liberty of the contracting parties, bat
even of the prese. We'll get even and
tell oar readers about it next week when
the wedding occurs.
The weather permitting, tomorrow
evening the members of the Y. P. S. C.
E. of the Congregational church will
give a genuine old-fashioned Bleigh ride,
leaving the church at 7 :30 and driving
to Roberts place, on Dry Hollow, where
lunch, will be served. This will be an
occasion for any amount of fun, and but
35 cents will be charged, including the
lunch.: Persons going in their own con
veyances will be required to pay ten
cents lor retreenments.
j'H. H. Riddell, who was appointed by
the countv court to champion a bill
regulating the tax law throngh the legisla
ture, left this morning for Salem. This
bill is one which ' ask ' that the" time
when the taxes becomedelinqnent, which
is now April 1st, be extended from - time
to time until the first of November. Al
so that the publication 01 such - time in
the county papers become a levy, in
stead of the ' sheriff ' being . required to
make a farther 'levy. ' Representative
Roberts will introduce the bill la the
ouse and Senator Dafar in the senate.

knd Mrs. J. 8. Fish -were entertained, at
their home last evening, aid the beet of
ood times was enjoyed. The first part
of the evening was deyoted to whist, and
when the scores were countedAlre. T. A.
Hudson received the head prize and
Mrs. J. T. Peters the bdoby. ' After
luncb.games of the most amusing nature
were played, and singing dancing, cake
walks, etc. .occupied theAilosing hours of
a most delighting panty. The guests
were: Dr. and Mrs. Logan, Mr. and
Mrs. Peters, Mr. &nq Mrs. T. J. Seufert,
Judge and Mrs. Eradsbaw, Mr. and Mrs.
Hobson, Judge and Mrs. Bennett, Mr.
and Mrs. Blakeley, Mr. and Mrs. H. 8.

McCoy.
The members of the Methodist Sun
day school were treated to a tine sleigh
ride last evening by the officers, teachers
and friends of the school. Sleighs of all
descriptions had been engaged, and at
6 :30 o'clock an expectant crowd of chil
dren and young people gathered in the
basement of the church and were packed
into the conveyances and taken all over
the city. For about two hours the town
was lifely with the shouting, tooting of
horns and singing. To say that it was
enjoyed is not expressive enough, and
the real pleasure derived could only be
determined by the happy faces and mer
riment. which was preyalent throughout
the entire ride. It was with difficulty
that the teachers prevailed upon the
little tots to allow them to be lifted
from the sleighs when the time for
home-going came.
Yesterday in m entioning Mrs- Sen
fert's bowling average it was given as
30 :64, instead of 35 :64. Mrs. Ingalls, of
Astoria, seems to be gaining ground in
the ladies' bowling contest.aAd Dalles
bowlers will have to look well to their
laurels. The Aetorian of yesterday says :
"Some of the best bowling ever seen in
Astoria took place at the A. F. C. alleys
yesterday, the score being made by Mrs.
Ingalls and C. H. Cooper. Mrs. Ingalls
bowled seven games, securing a total of
306 pins, or an average of nearly 44. In
her last four games she made 60, 51, 47,
and 44, a total of 202 pins', or an average
of 50. This, it is expected, places her
well in the lead ' in ' the ' championship
contest, as her average for 32 games now
is but three pins short of 39. The four
games above mentioned are the best
ever bowled by a woman in the north
west, and doubtless will stand as the
record for years. Cooper distinguished
himself by cracking out 74."
The contracting parties of a wedding
may face the preacher, and go through
the ceremony without flinching; but
when it comes to withstanding the many
friends and practical jokers who are met
at the depots on the alert to play "all
manner of jokes, it is another question.
Yesterday afternoon, although John
Weigel bad schemed in every conceiv
able way to avoid the conventional tricks
played on newly married couples, he
had not calculated upon the placard
plan, and so was blissfully unconscious
that, after bravely encountering the rice
and old shoes, he would be labeled all
the way to Portland. However, one of
their artistic friends had printed two
large placards bearing the inscription,
"This Car Contains a Brideand Groom,"
"By Their Actions Ye Shall Know
Them," which had been tacked on the
outside of the car. Whether the "signs"
were allowed to remain, we know not.
Certainly not, if John discovered them.
At any rate be will no doubt take a trip
to "Dawson" upon bis return and de
mand satisfaction from the artist.
The Mew Laundry.
Perhaps the busiest people in the city
are those employed by The Dalles Steam
Laundry, who are always on the go, and
daily turning out the very best of work;
Since their removal to their new quarters
every department is fitted out with all
latest appliances for their work, and
tbey have only the best of employee?.
Last night Miss Hansen arrived in the
city from Portland to accept a position
with them. She thoroughly understands
the new shirt-polishing machine, and
will manipulate it in a manner which
will surely give satisfaction.
' Since the managers of the laundry
have done their best to give the people
of The Dalle an industry of this kind
which is as good as any - in - the state,
they should receive our patronage.
There is now no reason for sending your
clothes away from town to be lanndried.

An important bill, which will be dis
cussed in the house this afternoon, is the

With such a collection it is impossible
for any one to complain there is nothing
in the library worth reading, and the
idea of receiving the benefit of such
books at such a email price each month
should induce everyone to take ad
vantage of it.
The library is now open on Mondays,.
Wednesdays and Fridays from 7 till 9 p.
m. and on Saturday afternoon from 2 till
5. It is greatly desired that it be kept
open constantly, and if sufficient patro
nage is given, a steady librarian will be
employed. It is also the intention to.
publish a catalogue at an early date.

A SPLENDID LIBRARY.
New Quarters Hare Been Obtained Jnat
Salted to the Meed.
Eveiy Bince Mrs. Mansfield donated
to the ladies of the city her library books
and tbey conceived the happy idea Of
starting a public library from the
nucleus thus given, Blakeley & Houghton
have kindly allowed them a portion of
their drug store to be used as a library
room, which has been much appreciated
by all concerned, not only the ladies,
but patrons of the institution. Recently
so many new books have been "added
that it was found necessary to obtain
morecommodius quarters. and in looking
about the city the ideal spot has been
discovered in the small room adjoining
Mrs. Phillips' millinery store. Had it
been built for the purpose it would have
been no better suited.- It has been
neatly fitted up, painted in pure white,
and everything is as cozy as a parlor.
The books are now being listed and ar
ranged on the shelves by Mis9 Pearl
Dean, the librarian.
The library now contains about 700
volames, which have been chosen with
the greatest of care, and among which
are found each books as "Scribner's
History of the United States," composed
of four volumes ; twenty-four volumes of
"The American Statesmen ;" "American
Men of Letters;" "Francis Park man's
Histories," "Andrew's History of the
Last Quarter Century," "Famous Wo

Revolutionary Times," "The Puritans
