As none of his friends seem to have seen him and he has die appeared as silently as be came, we sap pose be was passing through the city and left as his autograph to remember him by. xesterdav a marriage license was granted to Daniel A. Moad and Elisa E Stov, both of Wapinitia. There will be a number of articles you need at the sale Friday evening, at the K. of P. hall. And you also need to hear the excellent program. Go an have a good time. 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."

The society is to be congratulated on its excellent work in ttie fiscal year just closed. 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. PERSONAL MENTION. C. Dodds is in from Dufur.

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."
