WAYSIDE GLEANINGS.
Directly after Easter the ladies of the
Episcopal Guild will have a sale of use
ful and fancy articles. The place of sale
will be announced later. Io the mean
time any orders for work will be re
ceived bv them. .
t
D. C. O'Reilly has resigned hia posi
tion as general uanager of the Colum
bia Southern and has accepted that of
vice-president, with headquarters at
Portland. For the present President
Lytle will look after the managing de
partment. Next Wednesday evening is the time
when Dalles people will have the oppor
tunity of listening to the "A. L. P. S."
quartet. On that evening the ladies . ot
the Lutheran church give their concert
at the Baldwin opera house. Many
other vocalists will take part.
This morning Dr. Holliater received a
letter from Dr. S.' H. Frazier, eayin
that , he has taken op his residence i:
Berkeley, Calif., and has opened a den
tal office there. He, with his family, ar
perfectly delighted with their new home
which anyone who has visited there will!
agree is a beautiful place.
Two little minstrels a boy and
girl are doing our city - at present, and
this afternoon attracted crowds on the
street corners. Both are good musicians,
one playing the guitar and the other the
mandolin. Tney have visited different
towns in the state, and seam to do a
rushing business in passing the hat.
Mr. H. J. Rupert, general-traveling
representative of the Eiler's piano
house, Portland's exclusive higbgrade
dealers, handling the world's renowned
Checkering, Kimball, Weber and other
fine pianos, is at the Umatilla house,
in the interest of his companj. This
firm is contemplating putting in a branch
office here.
Yesterday a marriage license was is
sued by the county clerk. to A. L. Hod
sou and Mrs. Inez Broadbent, both of
Hood River. The marriage was to have
taken place at Hodd River last night.
However, the latenesB of the train may
have prevented the ceremony taking place
as the groom was to leave on that train.
The bride was formerly Mies Inez Hunt
of this city.
The finer roees in Portland and Valley
towns are said to have been totally de
stroyed by the nippiog froBts this winter.
Such, it is feared, is the case with roses
n this city, many of them having the
appearance of being dead, while others
will have to be cut down to the roots,
making the flowers much later. This is
to be regretted, as much pride is taken'
in the roses of our city.
At 2:30 o'clock this afternoon the
Regulator left the dock, and will make
her way down the river until she meets
the Dalles. City, when she expects to
turn around and lead the way on the
home trip. , Whether she will or not
remains to be seen ; but we have great
faith in her speed. A number of pas
sengers were on board, eager to see her
test her powers as a speeder.
An ordinance prohibiting expectora
tion on the sidewalks of Salem went
into effect yesterday. It provides for a
fine of $1 to $10 on conviction of a viola
tion. No doubt if a rigid enforcement
ot tne law is made, the city is doing a
land office business. The effect will at
any rate be beneficial, and The Dalles
should follow suit. V Had such a law
been in force in this city last week, offi
cers stationed at the court house corner
Jionld have solved the question of the
Aest way to raise revenue.
Don't forget the concert at the Baldwin
Wednesday evening, March 1st, under
the auspices of the Lutheran ladies.
This will be a firet-class entertainment
and worthy of your patronage. The
program will be rendered by the A. L,

Schmidt, Mrs. B. S. Huntington, Miss
Myrtle Michell,the MiBses Nickelsen and
the mandolin and guitar quartet.! Ad-

Fruit is badly injured throughout the
Hood river valley from the effects of the
late cold spell. Peach buds seem to be
all killed; cherries about 25 per cent;
prunes 50 per cent; quinces and plums
killed ; peara and grapes badly injured.
Apples and strawberries, our principal
crops, are not damaged. ' Hood River
eacaped lightly compared with other
parts of the country. In some parts of
the Willamette valley the fruit trees
were killed, and in many places the
strawberry vinss were frozen out. Gla
cier. Last Sunday a man by the name of J.
H. Richardson made his appearance at
the Central Hotel at Dafur, and being
unable to care for himself was kindly
taken in hand by the proprietor, J. S.
Everetg. Since that time he has been
cared for at that place. As it was evi
dent he would be ill for some time it
was thought best to bring him to thia
city and he was carefully arranged on a
bed in a covered wagon and arrived here
this morning. Application was made
to the county, and he will probably be
taken to the poor faim. He is a man of
about 52 years, and says he has been in
Oregon two years.
"That civilized man cannot live with
out cooks" has been demonstrated, not
by poetical sentences, but in a most
substantial manner. Therefore, it is
well that womankind in general be not
so far carried away with the new woman
idea that they neglect this all-important
art of cooking. Miss .Tracy's visit to
this city next week, when she gives a
talk on the subject at the institute, will
no doubt be considered not a rare treat
but ono well done. It is said that she
requires that a stove be placed in the
room, and then, in true womanly
fashion, rolls up her sleeves and give a
practical illustration of her lectures.
She will be here on the 2nd of next
month. "
The Condon Globe says: "Hon. E.
B. Dufur, joint eenator for Wasco and
Gilliam counties, is one of the strongeet
as well as one of the most highly re
spected men in the senate. Mr. Dufur
is above the tricks and trades of ordinary
politics and, although a Democrat, and
.hupiliuj UllllUlUji llf tile late legis
lature, hia strong personality and un
bending honesty made bis influence
strongly felt whenever questions of right
and justice came up for consideration.
To Mr. Dufur is due the credit of effect
ing a satisfactory compromise in the
Wheeler county case, and we believe
that his action in that matter all the
way through has won for him the re
spect and esteem of all factions and in
terests in that contest."
Several months ago the Oregon Society
of the Sons of American Revolution gave
out ' three topics,' upon which
essays were to be written by students in
tne higher educational institutions f
Oregon, three prizes being offered by
the society for the three' best papers. A
student at the Portland Academy won
the first prize; one at the McMinnville
college the second, and the third was
awarded to a young lady at the univer
sity ia Eugene. But The Dalles was
not out of the race, and this time it
was represented by Miss DaieieAllaway,
who is a junior student in the-, state
university. Oat of - the remaining
twenty-eight competitors, she was first
on the list of five to receive honorable
mention as having submitted an ex
cellent paper, on "Paul Jones, and the
Naval Warfare of the Revolution." It
was a surprise to her parents in this
city, who 'had no idea Daisie was com
peting. The Chronicle is always
pleased to note the advancement of
any of the boys and girls from The
Dalles, whose honors always reflect
credit, not only on themselves, but on
their home town and their teachers un
der whom they have received early in
struction. ONLY GUESSWORK.
No One Hre Knows Wbit Battalion
Of tne Second Oregon "Were Or
dered to the Front.
Oregon people are very anxious to
know just how many Oregon volunteers
are engaged in fighting at Manila, and
just what companies are yet on patrol
and detach duty.
The only reliable information yet had
from there along this line stated that
two battalions had been ordered to the
front. This would leave one battalion
still in Manila. Which two were or
dered to the front and which one left
behind no one here appears to be able to
figure out.
According to the rank of - the officers
the battalions should be formed as fol
lows: First, companies A, H, L and D;
Sfecond, B, I, M and F; Third, C, K, E
and G.
. If this be correct, it is evident that the
First battalion was engaged in the fight
yesterday, but as that appears to have
been a skirmish near the city it is
possible that the First battalion is yet
on doty in the city, and was called
oat on this occasion. The fact that one
or two companies of what would seem to
be the First battalion have been on de
tached duty, would lend color to the
opinion that the First battalion ia still
in Manila, and that the Second and
Third had been ordered to the front.

However, this is only guess work and
may be all wrong, but it has been eo
figured out according to the natural or
der of things.
The fact that a member of company H
was killed yesterday proves beyond
doubt that the battalion to which this
company belongs is liable to be in the
fights that may occur . around Manila,
whether it is one of the two ordered to
the front or noj.lf it is not, and is still on
duty in the custom-house and other
government offices there, then it would
seem that practically all three of the
battalione are in the fight when their
services are needed. Telegram.
Appropriation Hill.
The general appropriation bill, passed
at the recent session of the legislature,
and which has been filed with the secre
tary of state, carries appropriations ag
gregating $963,137.32. Add to this the
$60,000 University appropriation, and
the $60,000 militia fund, for which no
special appropriation is necessary, and
the total amouuta to $1,083,137. The
special appropriation bill of H. B. No.
383, by Representative Reach, which is
now in the hands of the governor, will
bring the total appropriation up to
nearly $1,400,000, provided the last
named bill becomes a law. This is
about an average of the amounts appro
priated during recent years, as will be
seen by the following, showing the totals
of the appropriation bills during the
ten years :
Session of 1898 $ 941,990.00
Seesion of 1891 1,200,337.16
Session of 1893 2,159,861,67
Session of 1895 1,627(935.99
Session (special) of 1898. . . . ,1,337,947.40
The appropriation bill for the session
of 1893 was by far the largeet ever passed
by the Oregon legislature, but that, bill
contained several unusually large itemF,
not now provided for, as follows : For
the Eastern Oregon insane asylum,
$165,000; for additional buildings at the
reform school, $78,000; dormitories 'at
the state university, $25,000; for new
buildings and cells at the penitentiary,
$52,500, and other similar items.
