Miss Grace Maynard, the yonng woman who was in The Dalles a few months ago with McEwan, the hypnot ist, has been called to take the long sleep from which even the great hypno- ist cannot awaken her, and which, it would seem, is preferable to the sleep she had been taking. She died recently at St. Cloud, Minnesota. Although she seemed well when in this city, it was eaid she contracted a Bevere attack of pneumonia at Salem, as a result of being thrown into the river by a boat capsizing, she being out .with a boating party at the time.

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 the line soliciting signers to a petition 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 . t 1 . . . . 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. to convey that so elicits theireym patby. . REGARDING THE SEWER SYSTEM Engineer to Be Ktaployed to Inves tigate Concerning; Oluve Contests. 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.

" 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.
