The matrimonial market in Wasco

dificult to get down in time to catch the
boat in the morning. Bat no doubt
there will be fust as many paseengers

The ladies at the west end of Third
street were badly frightened thie morn
ing by a vicious old tramp, who, because
they refused to feed him,- began cursing
and swearing, and at one house where
a lady is sick, almost frightened her into
spasms. - The marshal -was telephoned
for, but at last accounts had 'not found
him. After 'reading in an Oregonian
editorial Saturday -how there are at
present 7000 boy tramps in the (Juiced
States, one is led to wonder where this
dreadful nuisance will end.
Ernest Jensen, who is an old sailor,
as a matter of course would not forget
Dewey day, and the window at Wil
liams' store is proof that he has remem
bered it well. In the center of the
window is the Olympia, floating in the
blood red water of Manila bay, and on
its bow, with glass in band, a figure rep
resents' Dewey. To the right is the
dispatch boat McCullough, sailing out
in blue waters on the way to Hong Kong,
628 miles distant, to bear the news of
the great victory to the world, which
triumph is today celebrated throughout
the United States. On the flag poles
Ernest has placed ' brooms, signifying
the clean sweep, while many other
features, among which is a large picture
of the hero, shows what a genius the
window dreeser is in that art.

Dunn went to the Indian's cell, the one

the jailer came down later he told the

PERSONAL MENTION.
Pagae Nor The Chronicle Knew Not
Weather It Would or Wouldn't.
Many readers of The Chronicle have
asked us why we fail to give the weather
prognostications daily eo that they
be advised whether to expect summer
winter on the following day. So
Saturday when we learned that P
was" to give us warmer weather on Sun
day, for the benefit of the invalids who
could not otherwise get out to chore
the young ladies who had new hats an
dresses to don ; the voung men who h
started the ball rolling in earnest; a
the majority of residents who are 1
ways anxious for Sunday to be pleasan
we published the good news, and n
we're sorry that we spoke. The invar1
trusting iinplicity in the newepaper,
started to church, frzs on the way
and are today laid up ; the younj ladies
had their new bats blown to pieces ; the
young men (tnat is the Uornmerci
boys) were frozen out, and not only th
lady whom we met with the din
dress, but every one we encounte
gave us the "icy stare." In short, it
was winter yesterdav, and fire was a
good deal more appreciated than a dish
of ice cream.
But it's a pretty cold wind that blows
nobody good, and the cold epell is
furnishing any amount of foundation for
pessimists to base their prophecies on
regarding the coming flood, and, while
we hear the same cry every year, there
seems to be sufficient reason for alarm
this year. However, were every citizen
in The Dalles to sit down and con
template the matter from now -on, the
Columbia would be undaunted, for it is
not likely that a Moses will rise up
among us to command the waters to re
cede, nor one appear who can bid the
wares be still. It will, therefore, be as
well to wait the inevitable, be it in our
favor or against us. There is yet hope
that warm weather will make its ap
pearance iu time to prevent the snows
all melting at once, and it is ' already
said that warmer weather prevails in
the Blue mountains. The highest water
in '94 was on June 6th. We must re
member, however, that that year was an
exceptional one, the like of which is not
within the memory of even the "oldest
inhabitant."
