weather was afterward experienced. Th
weather's alf right ; but the question ii
is It causing the sickness so prevalen
now ? ;'"
Last night - about 9 o'clock atter a
year's illness with that dreaded disease,
consumption, Mrs. Mary J. Wagonblast,
wife ofC.F.WagonbIast,died at her home
Eighth street, adjoining the residence
She was born at Holton,
in tub Willamette valley, twenty-one
years ago next April, her maiden name
being Frantz, and came to this city four
years ago. A year later she was married
to C. F. Wagonblast, who survives her.
She also leaves two small children, the
youngest of which is six months old.
Mr. Wagonblast has the sympathy of all
in his bereavement over the death of his
young wife, who was a very lovable
character and bad many friends in the
city and in the neighborhood of Three
Mile, where thev formerly resided.
Residents of The' Dalles who frequent
Clatsopteach summer and leave-, goods
there-during the winter, would do well to
correspond with Sheriff Linville of that
county in regard to clothing left there, j
which would probably 6a ve them the
the trouble of cutting up the souvenir
handkerchiefs sent from Manila from
which to make new bathing Baits. The
sheriff has a miscellaneous assortment
of clothing, underwear, bathing suits,
etc., which he would like to have the
owners claim. He found the assortment
in Grimes' grove, at Seaside, and they
probably were stolen by Willard, the
Seaside murderer. It is probable that
the assassin had a cache somewhere,
which, if ever found, will reveal a
great many articles that have mysterous-
ly disappeared.
: Every year many Dallesites visit the
Willamette Valley Chautauqua aseem-
bly.and tbey will no doubt be pleased to
learn that with the aid of the Ashland
aesembly and . the one at Pacific Grove
and at Long Beach, near LosAngeles, they
have succeeded in booking Sam Jones,
J. DeWitt Miller, Frank Beard and
Camden Coburn as a few of the star
speakers for next season. This is the
strongest array of talent ever procured
for the coast assemblies so far in ad
vance. Everybody knows Sam Jones,
but J. DeWitt Miller has filled more
Chautauqua engagements than 'any of.
the great lecturers and bag returned to
the same assemblies eight or ten differ
ent years. He ( has' lectured
at the old Chautauqua eight different
times in as many years. When attend
ing the WisconsinChautauqua assembly
at Madison some years ago. the Chron
icle reporter heard Frank Beard, in bis
"Chalk Talks." He is one of the great
est cartoonists, and changes one cartoon
into another in a minute's time, talking
while he is doing so. At the last board
meeting the dates fixed for the next
assembly at Gladstone Park are July 18
to 29, inclusive.

Died, at her home on Lower 15-Mile
creek, Wednesday morning, Jan. 25th,
Mrs. Lizzie SilsSy-Farrington, widow of
the late Daniel Farrington, aged eixty
seven years. '
HsHirtkme from one of tboBe old families
of New England that had very high
ideals of right. Losing her mother at an
early age, she had a heart of eympathy
for 'those thus bereft. '
Left to make s home for herself' she
came to California with a sister in 1852.
when the back of a mule was the 'only
means of conveyance through the moun
tains of the Pacific elope. Her first home
was in Yreka, whither she went in that
primitive way ; later in Grass, Valley,
Calif.' From here in 1870 she returned
to Maine, where she made many friends.
In 1884 she came to Oregon to make a
new home, where her influence has been
widely good in a new country. She was
one of a tew who was always . in her
place at public .worship and Sunday
school. . She was a successful bible class
teacher for a long time, and for a time
was the superintendent of the school,
being greatly missed ' when failing
health kept her away. She bore her
protracted illness with patience. - Those
who have been fortunate to know, her
will remember her as a model hostees
There is no doubt she has heard the
welcome "Well done. Come ye blessed
of my father." '
She leaves four eons, Edward S, a
prominent lawyer ot Nevada, Herbert I.,

From a petition ; introduced lq the
legislature by Grace, of Baker county,
we judge the people of that countyhave
had a like experience with the chari
table institutions of this city. The
petition asks that when a man is able to
provide forhis family and fails to do -so
he be punished. It is to be hoped . the
committee to which it was referred will
take some action in the matter, such a
law would probably either put a stop to
the foolish marriages which take place
when the petitioner for a. liconse .can
scarcely scrape up enough money to pay
for the document, and in nine cases out
of ten' never pays the minister, or will
compel a man to" support his family
when be gets a dozen children around
his hearthstone, instead of depending on
the county or turning them out to battle
with the world tetore they have re
ceived an' education.
Time after time have ladies of our city
solicited, aid for poor families, and upon
making a visit, of mercy to relieve the
distressed wife and little, children, found
a lazy, worthless man laying idly around
the botiae, ready to consume the dainties
brought to his sick wife. Sympathy for
those dependent upon bim compel the
charity, although they would hesitate
some time before fostering bis idleness.
Were he unable to work the matter
would assume a different phase.'.'
- Then many fathers forget that having
been the author of the child's being, 'tis
his duty to bring the child up in the
best manner possible, giving him at
least a common school education before
turning him out to earn, not only his
own living, but that of the entire family,
while he himself .makes -no effort in
that direction. Many times have our
hearts yearned for little lads who have
called at the newspaper offices, and with
tears in"' their eyes, asked for a job of
carrying papers, saying' they "must
work.' Of course in a number ot cases
this is unavoidable, but in many 'tis the
result of having a worthless father.
To this cause also inay be attributed
the downfall of many young girls, who
are. compelled, at an age when, they
ehould be under the mother' protecting
care, to battle with the Vworld, which
ehe knows nothing about, for. a living
for herself and perhaps a host of smaller
brothers and sisters. . -
While we would not discourage the
idea of teaching the children to work
and giving them a trade, it ehould be
made the business 01 tne father to care
for them to the beet ot his' ability until
they are of reasonable age to care for
themselves. '
The petition from Baker is all right
and should receive the support of the
legislature.; : ; r' ..
