News reached the city this morning of
the death of Maggie Keys, youngest
daughter of Wm. Keys, Saturday at
Mayville, Gilliam county. She has been
ill for some months of consumption,
which hardly eeema possible, for upon
her visit to this city hardly a year since
she was so strong and well appearing.
Maggie was very well known -and a
favorite in The Dalles during her resi
dence here. She was graduated from
the Wasco Independent Academy in the
class of '91, and was a very bright
student ; as well as possessing a cheerful
disposition which carried sunshine with
it. Her friends will learn the sad news
with deep regret.
Moro people are working hard to ob
tain the mail contract for the route be
tween that city and Prineville. Their
promises are numerous and far reaching
but the fulfillment is yet to come. They
are sending out advance agents alor g

for the same. So far as we can ascer
tain but an hour or two will be gained
in time, which is the only advantage to
any one except the Moro people. The
Antelope Herald Bays: . "Mr. C. C.
Jiuney, 01 Moro, spent the latter part

01 last wees in our own, circulating a
petition for a change in the present
Prineville -Antelope - The Dalles mail
roote. The proposed change, as we un
derstand it, involved the abandonment
of the above named route, and the cre
ation of a new. one from Moro to Prine
ville, via Antelope. We understand
that Mr.Kuney was fairly successful, a
number-of our citizens 6igni.g .the
petition. However, many others could
see no special advantage lo be derived
by anyone except the good citizens of
Moro, an'! as Mora's gain would be The
Dalles' lose, they refused to sign the
petition."
Friday Mrs. Carrie Day, of Viento,
who for eonae time past has been out of
her mind at times, caused by physical
ailments, took a notion to leave' her
family and stay with her 6icter in this
city, and therefore came up on the train
that day. Her father was here visiting,
and the next morning Bent her back home
on the boat. Her daughter saw her
approaching the bouse and ran to a
neighbor, but her husband, who was at
home, irritating her somehow caused
one of her violent spells to return, and
she grabbed a. stick of wood and beat
him'over the bead. He then appealed
to thf officers, who took her in charge
and telegraphed to the sheriff here.
Saturday she was brought to this city
and being adjudged insane, Deputv
Sheriff Sexton and Constable Tucker
conveyed her to the asylum yeUerday
morning. She is a sad-looking woman
and rational enough at times. Every
one who saw her pitied her and the
officers eay they seldom have' a patient.

AT HOOD RIVER.
Hoi
the Teachers Enjoyed the VlslJ
and Were Benefited by the
Meeting;.
A more enthusiastic crowd of persons
could not be found than the teachers
and their friends who returned from
Hood River Saturday night-, loud in
their praises of the trip, the institute,
and above all the beauty of Hood River
and the hospitality of its people.
Arriving in that now-thriving little
berg, they were met by a delegation of
teachers and others, who soon bad them
comfortably seated in a hack driven by
Capt. J. H. Dukes, and . they were
driven over the beautiful road above
the city, where was obtained the grand
est view of Mt. Hood and Mt. Adams
imaginable. It was just the day for
such a drive. Upon returning they
spent a short time in walking about the
city and viewing the many improve
ments now going on, after which they
were taken to the school house where
the meeting was to be held. Much has
been eaid by them regarding the neat
ness of the building and the air of
interest in their school which pervades
the atmosphere there.
Hon. E. L. Smith welcomed the
visitors in an eloquent and most cordial
manner, which just captured the teach
ers, particularly the young ladies. Prof.
Gavin answered in a happy manner,
assuring the people of Hood River that
they were glad to be privileged to meet
with them.
Director N. C. Evans being compelled
to visit Portland, was not present to
speak on the subject assigned him,
"Our Schools."
Some of the best papers ever read at
an institute in the county were those
by Mrs. E. 1-. Smith, Miss Minnie Elton
and Miss White, while Troy Shelly gave
a splendid talk on "How to Teach Multi
plication."
. Miss Salina Phinnan told how she
taught number work' in the first grade,
and her remarks were at once interest
ing and entertaining, as she illustrated
her methods. '
Prof. J. S. Landers covered a pirt of
a wide field embraced in the subject
"Literature in the Schools." ic a
manner which at once caused every
one present to be interested. The
question intended to be brought up was
how shall we have literature in the
schools? and the answer naturally .was,
create a school library. It-was die
covered that about eeventv per cent of
the districts of the countv have started
libraries since November 1st.
This Bubject was very thoroughly dia
cussed by Supt. Gavin, J. T. Neef, Troy
Shelly, C. D. Thompson, J. M. Carroll,
H. L. Howe, Hester -Howe, Kate Daven
port and Mrs. E. M. Wilson.
During the session some of the best of
singing was listened to, which was far
ms bed by the school children, under
the direction of Miss Ann Smith.
At tne noon hour the visitors were
escorted to the hotel by a committee of
teachers and friends, who joiued them
in the dinner served.
The meeting closed at 3:30 o'clock
and about 4:30 they started for the boat :
landing. Although thn wind blew
heavily, the return trip was very enjoy
able and they reached home at 7 o'clock.
These educational meetings are not
only instructive, but a great benefit to
the teacbeas, giving them an oppor
tunity to recuperate after weeks of
arduous work

The council met in special session
Saturday night, with Mayor Nolan pre
siding and Councilmen Kuck, Johnston,
Johns, Clough, Gunning, Stephens and
Keller on hand. "
The mayor stated that the object of
the meeting was to hear the report of
the special sewer committee which was
appointed to investigate the proposed
sewer system for the city and advise
concerning the best means to the end
desired. Kuck, of that committee,
recommended that a civil engineer be
employ ed to look into the proposed sys
tem and report aB to its feasibility.
Whereupon, on motion of Couucilmen
Johnston, the recommendation was ac
cepted and the committee directed to
employ W. J. Roberts, formerly of The
Dalles, but now of Pullman, Wash., as
such engineer. The recorder immedi
ately wrote Mr. Roberts to that efft-c.
An application having been made for
license to give a glove contest in our
city next Saturday evening, and no
ordinance being ' on the statute books
regulating such matters, Councilman
Stephens introduced Ordinance No. 300,
which reads as follows: "The proprie
tors or agents of all exhibitions of prize
fighting, glove contests or exhibitions
of skill in glove fighting, shall pay a
license of $53 for each exhibition." On
motion of Councilman Johns, it was
placed on its final passage, every council
man favoring the same.
It was then reported that a nuisance
to the city existed under the Chinese
house at the - corner of Second and
Union streets. On motion of Council
man Gunning the matter was referred
to the committee on health and police.
Meeting then adjourned till the night
for the regular meeting.
