"The Avenger," which is announced
to appear at tbe Vogt on Monday night,
is, in spite of its inelo-drainatic title, a
historical romantic play of the seven
teenth century, and was written by
Messrs. Anicet Bourgoise and Fetal. . It
is built of material that appeals straight
to tbe heart, which will never cease to
be captivated by tbe old, old story of
love. Tbe stage pictures are pronounced
to be marvelous in their blended beauty
and effectiveness. Action is said to be
conveyed in every one of them, and tbe
spectator feele that they are not arranged
simply to be looked at, bat are of vital
importance in carrying the story for
ward. There is an atmosphere of ro
mance about it, and it seems to call into
actual being tha swash-Duckling builies,
lazy varlets, daring sold ers of fortune,
and tbe beautiful maiden of olden times.
What could be more changeable than
is the weather this spring? While a few
days ago winter seemed to have slid off
spring's lapand taken to parts unknown,
leaving summer nndieturbed, yesterday
a sprinkling ot snow was noticed on the
Klickitat. ...Reports from the English
place, near the city, this morning said
frost igited that section last night,
while them'nimom thermometer here
was 38. Really Spring seems to have
taken the role 'i Hamlet and to be
questioning whether "to be or not to be."
Tbe ladies of the Eastern Star enter
tained a number of guests at their lodge
roams Saturday evening,, tbe occasion
being in the nature of a farewell, recep
tion, given in honor of Mrs. J. H. Hud
son on the eve of her departure for her
new home at The Dalles. A pleasing
program was rendered ia the early part
6l the tv nlng after wLicb the company
spent an hour or two in social en j iyment
and the discussion of a moBt dainty and
appetizing luncheon. The Star mem
bers, and other friends of Mrs. Hudson
here, will much regret her departure
from our city. Condon Globe. '
Robert Sliepley, was found dead at
bis home fifteen miles from Antelope on
Monday afternoon. His wife and little
boy had been away from home for sev
eral days, and upon their return dis
covered the father's body hanging from
the bed-pop t. The body was hanging
so low that the knees touched the floor,
but there were no eign3 of a deatn
etraggle. No cause for the suicide is
known. The only writing found was a
small slip of paper, dated May 6, con
taining the words. "The cow and calf
belong to A. Beard." Shepley was about
50 years old, and was an old resident of
that section.
The Imperial Hotel in Portland. which

seems to be the favorite resort for Dalles
people when visiting in that city, is to
undergo a change. Hon. Phil Metshan

and we underscand is fo place C. W.
Know lea in as manager. Were that
place not already patronized by our
citizens, the mere factthat Mr. Knowlee,
who has so long been in the hotel busi
ness, and is so well Known to us all, is
to take charge, would suffice to induce
Dalles people to make that their head
quarters. Duringhis ownership of the
St. Charles in early days all of our busi
ness m n and other visitors seemed to
know of no other hostelrv in Portland.
Many have alc been induced to put up
at the Perkins'wbile Mr. Knowks had
charge there, and now all will be pleased
to know that he will be found at- tbe
Imperial.
It has always been claimed that girls
are "mighty onceftain crittere," but
what of the boys now? Surely they are
as uncertain as anything could possibly
be, we refer, of course, to our soldier
beys, and taeir return borne. One day
tbe papers come out and tell U3 they
will be Bent borne immediately, and
while we are preparing to receive them
royally and arranging to have them as
tbe center of attraction in our Fourth of
July parades, a dispatch informs us that
they can not come till the war is ended ;
that they are needed over there. The
fact beins that tbe California and Ore
gon regiments, tbe first to go to Manila,
are now pertorming too important a
service to be spared, as . are all other
volunteer regiments in tbe Philippines.
Unless peace comes, the volunteers can
not be spared, nnless the provincial
army is organized. While the boys ex
pected to leave tbe last of this month,
they know the importance of their
presence and accept the sacrifice,
Our Guests.
The National Editorial Association has
been extended an invitation to visit The
Dalles, and tbe Club, and oar people
want to -entertain them in a manner be
fitting the visitors, and which will also
reflect credit upon our city.
The coenmittee having the matter in
charge thought that as our citizens and
business men have always been so liberal
in the way of donations and subscrip
tions that they would not ask tbein to
come forward again, but instead, w ill
give tbe general public a chance to help,
at the same time giving them the va!ue
of their money. ,
To that end, a number of ladies and
gentlemen have volunteered their ser
vices, and an entertainment will he given
next Wednesday night, at the Vogt
opera bouse, the proceeds to be used in
showing the "pencil pushing" fraternity
a good time while here. .'
Tbe opera bouse should be crowded,
as the cause is a praiseworthy and pro-?
greseive one, and the nature of the
evening's program is such as to please
everybody.
Prices bave been fixed ' at 25c, 50c and
75c, and eeats may be had Tuesday, the
16th at the Snipes Kinersly drugstore.
MORE FLOOD PREDICTIONS.
What Fagoe Says Regarding It Com
parison by Tmi b.
In spite of contrary predictions, Pagae
insists we are to have a flood. He savs
that it will reach tbe 26-foot mark at
least, in Portland, and that he wouldn't
be surprised if the cellars on Front
street were flooded in ten days.
The mercury has been gradually
climbing up in the Snake river country
during the past few days, and as a result
tbe Snake has risen two feet since the
warmer days set in. May weather at
90 and 100 degrees is not unusual in that
part of the country. If such weather
should prevail there from now on, the
Snake riyer would soon be as h:gh as
the oldest inhabitant could remember
having seen it. Thie, however, does not
necessarily mean a flood. On the con
trary, it may prevent a fljud.
Ttie Snake river usually goes on a
"tear" about two weeks earlier than the
Columbia, and the fact that it is start
ing out first this rear is reassuring.
The only trouble is it is late in the
jeasm, ni hot weather may set in any
day all over the country.
All reports received at the weather
bureau show that there is as mnci: snow
now in the mountains tributary to the
streams flowing into the Columbia as
there was April 1, 1894. This snow
muBt pass off to the sea within the nexV-j
few weeks, and if it ail decides to go at
about the same time there will be
trouble all along the river.
The river here this morning stood at
20 7, a rise of nearly two feet since
yes'erday. The following comparisons
will no doubt prove interesting to our
readers, as they show the stage of the
river on May- 12th for the past eight
years, and the date of the highest water
for thosn vears :

The Visit uf the Sons of Herman.
The German residents of this city
held a well attended meeting at tbe
Baldwin opera bouse last night. By an
unanimous consent it -was resolved to
give the Sons of Herman and their
families, on their excursion from Port
land on the 21st of this month, a most
cordial reception, and to exhaust all ef
forts to make their stay in town as agree
able as possible.' A fund was raised for
the engagement of the Commercial Club
band, which will play for the entertain
ment of the visitors. The Baldwin opera
house has been rented for the accommo
dation of the visiting families, and will
be in charge of tbe reception committee.
