Many complimentary remarks are
being passed today concerning the splen
did lecture given by Rev. Rushing last
night
at the Christian church. His
Euhject was "The World's First Woman,"
and everyone present was delighted with
the manner in which he handled it.
. Roscoe Oakee, the traveling man, in
former days so well known in The Dalles,
is "doing" the city todav. He is not
greeted quite so familiarly as of yore, all
on account of the abeenceof a mustache,
which has so completely changed his ap
pearance that even the young ladies
fail to recognize him.
In spite of the law against selling
liquor to Indians, it is' not an uncom
mon thing to encounter a drunken Indian
in and out of the city. . Last night T. J.
Driver arrested a brave who had so
much of the "fire water" that he had
to be put in the cooler, where he spent
the night, and today as well.
Sheriff Kelly returned last night from
Salem, n here he went to take Richardson
to the asylum. While there Mr. Kelly
inquired as to the. Dalles inmates in the
asylum, and found they were all in about
the same condition, with little signs of
improvement, except' the case of Miss
Laura Donaldson, who is now in the
convalescent ward.
Arthur Clarke, the popular and cour

and will be a valuable acquisition to our

Sleeping-Par rates are being reduced
on the Great Northern and Northern
Pacific roads. At first a' reduction to
?IU was- announced ; out a compromise
has been made whereby a rate of $12
will be made from the East to this
coast, instead of $13.50 as now charged.
Ultimately it is thought a reduction
will be made on all lines west of the
Missouri river. -
Just as we go to press word was re-
cived in the city that a murder had
been committed near Viento this after
noon, it seems that the workmen on
the road got into a lively diecussion, be
coming very angry. Finally one of .the
men ordered the other to do something
in connection with the work in hand,
and being refused, he picked up a reck
and bit the other in the bead, killing
him instantly.
The latest from Spokane eays that the
smallpox reports have been greatly ex
aggerated. Instead of twenty-seven cases
there have been so far only five cases,
and'until last Sunday there were only
three. Sunday morning the two ad
ditional caees were reported from a lodg
ing-house, which was occupied by twenty
persons. The house was at once quar
antined, and it is thought the exposed
persons will escape the disease.
For some time past an item fias been
going the rounds of the press to the effect
that there are at present about 1,500,000
pounds of wool stored in the warehouses
at The Dalles. We are informed today
by one warehouse company that they
have almost 2,000,000 pounds iu their
warehouse alone, therefore we conclude
the total amount has been greatly under
rated. .111 a short time the new crop
will be arriving, and buyers will find
The Dalles just the place for their pur
chases. K. of P. hall would scarcely contain
the crowd that gathered to listen to the
entertainment and enjow1 the pleasures
afforded by the ladies of the Episcopal
Guild last night. Afer viewing the
articles on sale at he . booths, and
making purchases ofthe same, a short
program was given and at its close all
were attracted to the refreshment room,
where ice cream aiw cake were served
The latter part of tfhe evening was spent
in dancing. The (ladies were very sue
ceEEiul with their sale, ana realized a
goodly earn for their labors ; probably
over $100. .
.Messrs. McNear, Thayne, Curry and
Martin, of the Eastern Oregon Land
Company, are at present in The Dalles
attending to business in connection
with, and changes which will be made
in the work of the company. T. A.
Hudson having resigned from the agen
cy; the management passes into the
hands of G. W. McNear, of Portland and
San Francisco. While we regret to hear
of the resignation of one who has proven
himself so proficient an agent as Mr,
Hudson, at the same time we are glad
to learn that his successor is a man
thoroughly interested in the welfare of
this Section end one of the largest wheat
exporters on the coast.' Mr. McNear
will at once open an office at The Dalles,
and Mr. C-E. Curry will probably be
appointed his local agent. It is Mr,
1 McNear'a intention to actively enter
into the further development of the
property, particularly the agricultural
lands in Sherman county. The exten
sion of the Columbia Southern bevond
Moro will be of great value to the
company's property,' as it brings much
of it within convenient reach of market
and gives them cheap transportation.
The story of "A Doll's House" the
wonderful drama in which Miss Thropp
will be seen here on Monday night, is
one of engrossing . interest. Nora, the
petted and spoiled wife of Torvald II el
mer, is the central figure of the play.
Her youth bad been passed as a doll
child, she is Helmer's doll-wife and
their home is "A Doll's House." After
eight years of married life, theshadow
of a dread secret crosses her path and
opens her eyes for the first time to
worldliness, selfishness and crime.
When the love and confidence of her
husband is weighed and found wanting,
the whole fabric of her life crumbles to
dust and Nora stands, revealed a' woman.
Of the remarkable characters in this
ranch discussed play it is not too much
to say that they are the creation of a
genius .whose knowledge of human
nature is as profound as it is wcnderfuL
ASSAILANT OF COOK . CAPTURED
The FiTe-Handrcd Dollar Reward Well
Earned.
The assailant of Frank Cook, head
brakeman on the O. R. & N. who was
nearly murdered laBt week near Hay
station by a tramp he was putting off
the train, has been captured at Tekoa
by Joe Canutt, sheriff of Whitman
coanty, who has landed him in Spokane
county jail. The sheriff says :
"The man gives a badly confused ac
count of his movements during the last
week. He even gave me two names, the
first name being Joseph Johnson and
the second Richard Barrett. So dis
connected is the fellow's explanation of
himself that I would not attempt to
repeat it to you. However, he has
acknowledged being in Starbuck and
Riparia within the laet few days, but is
utterly unable to give the dates.
"The capture of Johnson or Barrett
was a clever piece or work. ie ap
peared suddenly-in Tekoa and his strik
ing resemblance to the man described
by Cook as' the latter's assailant ' im
pressed Deputy Quinn very forcibly.
Quinn watched his man closely. Last
night the stranger ginned up pretty well,
and Quinn cultivated his acquaintance
still more closely, and the man gave
uimself away during the evening by
saying to Quinn :
' Yes, I did strike Cook over the
head, and the ,
would do it again. '
"The stranger's arrest prompt'. y fol
lowed bis declaration.
'Barrett was brought to town on the
next train, and at 8 o'clock this morn
ing wbb taken ovei to the hospital.
where he confronted Cook. As soon as
the latter saw him be said :
" 'That is the man who struck me
over (he head.'
'Handcuffed, Barrett was next re
turned by as to the city jail and locked
up."
