There will be a number of articles you

The funeral of the late W.D. Jones took
place from the residence of hia daughter,
Mrs. A. M. Keleay, this ' afternoon at
o'clock and was largely attended by
friends. His comrades of the G. A. R
were present in a body, and the remain
were interred in their cemetery adjoin
ing Odd Fellows cemetery.
gin Jones asked the question "Do
yo 1 kiiorc that bvys are more particular
than girls who they go with? You may
think it is a strange statement but it is
so. A girl will go on the street wiin a
boy that gets drunk, but the minute he
finds out a girl gets drunk he won't go
wiih her". Portland Welcome.
The filth anniversary of the Degree of
Honor which was held at Fraternity
hall last night was a very enjoyable
flair. The hall was crowded, almost
too much eo, for dancing to bf fully ap
preciated until the crowd thinned out a
little. A good program was rendered
at the opening of the evenine's enter
tainment; so that every part ol the
entertainment was a success.
This morning A. A. TJrquhart arrived
from Celilo with four white men and
five Indians, who were to be witnesses
in the Indian murder case, and at 10
clock the preliminary hearing began.
It is an endless task to examine Indian
itnesses, and the examination was not
finished as we go to press. It seems
however, to be going Enoch against
ndian Jack, whose terrible countenance
enough to condemn him.
It will be good news to not only those
of Prof. Condon's old friends who re
main in The Dalles, but to all who have
heard of his wonderful intellect and
powers of entertaining, to learn that he
will speak this evening in the Congre-
itional church at the regular prayer
meeting hour. Bis subject will be,
The Old and the Nsw, or What the
Church Has Lost and What It Has
Gained in the Last Fifty Years."
No firm in the city seems to be more
intent on making its store as replete
as does Pease & Mays, and to that end
they aie continually repairing it and
adding thereto. The latest improve
ment is the addition of 40x32 feet to
their grocery department. The archway
connecting 'with the remainder of the
building is now cut through and the
cash carriers are being placed in posi
tion. In a few days the new apartment
will be completed.
This seems to be a time of changes in
the O. R. & N. officer all along the Hue.
A. Walden, who has been the day
operator in the office here, will leave at
once for Winona, wheie he will act as
agent. His piece will be filled by J. C.
Clay, whose position as night operator
will be taken by C.'F. Neff, who arrived
last night from Portland. Agents also
are to be chanced at Tekoa, Rock ford,
Starbutk, Elgin and Umatilla, the latter
place to be taken by a Mr. Freeman of
Portland, while Agent Leech of that
place will be moved to Tekoa.
"Murphy" is on a bender, and will
be dropping lower from now on. We
have been paying $1.25 a sack for our
puds, but today prices will begin to
fall. The Oregonian yesterday said:
'The price of potatoes appears to be on
the decline, which will be good news to
those who have to buy many of these
tubers. Last week they sold as high as
$1.75 per cental, and one day farmers
received $2.08 per sack. Yesterday loads
found slow sale at $1.25 per sack. Those
who have held on too long are likely to
lose by eo doing."
It is not a common thing to. hear of
persons being stung by scorpions in the
neighborhood of The Dalles, although'
they are often found among the rock
heaps near by. - Yesterday, however.
Dr. Hollister was called to attend
Mrs. Stocklii, of Dry Hollow, who had
been stung bv the dreaded insect.
In the morning she had gone to the
spring for water, and was there bitten
on the foot. It seems there must be a
veritable nest at that place for some
time since another member of the family
was Btung in the same manner. Mrs,
Stocklii is getting along nicely, and it is
not thought the injury will prove
serious.
Representative Tongue has received
the following letter from the quarter
master-general ot the United States
army, concerning the removal cf the
bodies of dead soldiers to their homes
It is the intention of the government
to remove the remains of the officers and
soldiers who died at Manila to the
United States, but for sanitary reasons
the disinterments have been discon
tinued. It is possible that they will
not be djne until next winter. The
father of the soldiers should make per
sonal application to the quartermaster
general, asking that the remains be sent
home when received in the United
States."

While Mies Clara Tbropp, the best and
brightest of American comediennes was
appearing in London at the Duke of
York's theatre as Nora in "A Doll's
House," Clement Scott, the great Eng
lish dramatic critic visited Miss Tbropp
on the stage between the acts, and the
next day he wrote tbe following lines in
his paper regarding the comedienne:
"As merry as a lark, and as twittering
as a swallow", - who has flown from the
home of its birth to gladdeu our hearts
with Us soft music."' Miss Thropp will
shortly appear in this city as Nora.
"A Doll's House" as presented by her ie
regarded as the most remarkable play of
the century and has created broadsides
of newspaper discussion both in Amer
ica and Europe. She ia supported by
an admirabln company.
No one would dream that any of the
gentlemen of Tbe Dalles would beat a
lady, not even using the Commercial
Club as his weapon. And yet such nas
been the case in two different instances
of late, their excuse being that turn
about is fair play. However, no cases
have yet come up in court, which we
judge is due to the fact that the defei-led
ones are ino&tly married .ladies and
therefore courting days are over. Last
night Messrs. Bradehaw, Baldwin, De
Huff, Kurtz, Nolan and Mays were
challenged to a contest with the team
which they won the honors from before,
consisting of Meedames Seufert, Tlunt
ington, Houghton, Blakeley and Misses
Lang and Schanno. The defeat, how
ever, was 'not so sweeping as formerly,
two games being won by the ladies and
two by the gentlemen, the latter coming
out 35 pins ahead. The highest single
score was made by Miss Schanno with
70, which is said to be as high a score
as has been made in a contest here. Her
total ecore was also the highest of her
team, 176. Of the gentlemen, Mr. De
Huff had the highest MDgle score, C9;
while Mr. Nolau came out ahead in the
total, having 174.

It seems to be the concensus of opin
ion in The Dalles that nothing can be
done in that line until the months of
July and August, and as we believe no
more thoughtful, kind-hearted business
men can be found anywhere than in our
own city, their opinions should, there- "O mr TDn rv,'r,r.

months to intervene before its consum
mation, while already the clerks, book
keepers and all who are compelled to be
shut up in the stores during the lovely
evenings we are even now having, be.'in
to long loenjoy the hours wherein can
be found the most enjoyment of the
whole day. We clip the following from
last evening's Telegram which touches
on tbe same subject:
"The Portland ' Woman's Club is
Boundirg tbe business men with a view
of having thejn close stores every Satur
day afternoon in July and August. Reg
ular committees have been out and in
tervinwed tnauy ot the business men on
tbe subject. Many of the business men
do not feel like tbey could close Satur
dav afternoons, as that is the busiest
part of the week. However, those that
feel that way are willing to do as much
as possible toleseen the hardships of the
woiking girls by closing at 6 o'clock
every evening. At least many ot them
so expressed themselves to a reporter.
All admit that it is pretty hard to keep
girls working from 8 o'clock in tbe
morning until 10 at night. They say
tbey are compelled to do so in order to
meet the competition of tbe other fellow
who does keep open."
