Many will remember Laura Donaldson
the poor unfortunate young lady who
was taken to the asylum about a year
ago. Word was received yesterday that
she had hung herself in her room at
that institution vesterday morning and
er remains will be brought to this city
on this afternoon's train and be buried
from Crandall & Burget'e undertaking
parlors at once. ' Laura's life of late
years was a tad one. Fighting against
ill health and poverty finally overcome
ber and destroyed her mind. Of a
sensitive-, refined nature the circum
stances were too much for her frail con
stitution. She was not considered vio
lent, but melancholia probably caused
the act which took her life. She will be
buried by the side of her father. ;
The Columbia is coming up at a lively

Northport ; 1.7 at Wenatchee. There is
water enough on the way to raise it to
34 by tomorrow. Ten feet more of water
will make tire river touch the O. R. &N.
track above here, but it will take about
fourteen or fifteen feet to reach the track
at The Dalles. Let us hope this cool
weather will have the desired effect.
Cottinghain, who occasionally makes
himself famous by narrowly escaping
serious injury, had perhaps his closest
call last night. Having been "cele
brating" in his usual manner during the
day, he somehow managed to be on the
railroad track, this side of the depot, at
about 12 o'clock, just as the delayed No.
1 started down from the depot to the
Umatilla House. He was between two
flat cars and stepped out on the track
right in front of the engine. In an in
stant he was knocked over, but as the
train was going slowly he fortunately
fall on the pilot and was dragged a very
short distance. The train was stopped
mmediately and supposing of course
that he was' killed the men hastened to
bis side and were surprised to find that
he wa3 not injured very seriously, al
though the sole of his right foot was
badly torn and his leg braised to the
knee. Nightwatchman Phirman had
him taken to the city jail, where he re
ceived needed . attention . and still
remains.
Dalles people were surprised in more
ways than one yesterday regarding the
excursion from Portland. In the first
place, we were expecting 3000 visitors,
when but about 700 got off the train.
Then we were pleasantly surprised by the
behavior of the excursionists. Judging
from last year's performance we antici
pated a lively time and dreaded their
coming; but, on the contrary, they were
extremely well behaved, consisting
mostly of those who had come to visit
friends. ' True there were about a half
dozen boys in the crowd who were out
for a high old time, and three of them
succeeded in being placed in the jail.
However only one possessed Buy money,
and paid his $2 fine, while the others
were let go to get rid of them when the
train left. We understand tuts is the
last 01 the bunday excursions, and w
are not sorry. . Could they be confined
to tboee who come no to vieit friends or
spend the day quietly, there Would not
be so great objections as they would not
be about the streets, but, judging from
the nnmbar of . Dallesites who were
scarcely able to walk etralght yesterday,
we are afraid the influence is detriment

SUDDEN DEATH OF MRS. GIBONS
8he Passes From the church Service Be
low to That Above.
For more than a year past it has
seemed that scarcely a week has gone by
without compelling us to chronicle the
sudden taking off of some one of our well
known residents either by accident or
from a short illness, and. the city is
shocked by the news of the death of
those whom . we leist expected to
part with. Yesterday marked another
such occurrence, and scarcely could the
news be credited when one by one heard
of the very sudden death of Mrs. B. F.
Gibons. But a few days ago the re
porter met her on the bank corner and
smilingly she said, "Just put it in the
paper that I made a trip to the city, for
1 bavn'c been down town for so long."
Little did we think as we jokingly
chatted with her that we would be com
pelled in so short a time to tell our
readers that her pleasant, : cheery
countenance would be seen on our" streets
no more; that the church, wt.ere ner
place was seldom vacant, would mies
her forever, or that in the home, which
for so many years she has beautified not
alone by her handiwork, nor by her lb,e
for the flowers which Ehe tended so care
fully,1 but '- by her conetant happy dis
position, which made her ever as a beam
of sunshine. But so uncertain is this
life that but yesterday she was in ber
accustomed pew in the Congregational
church, and in an hour after bad sit
down in the church where congregation
ne'er break up.
For eome time past she has suffered
at intervals with rheumatism, which
though very painful was not considered
dangerous, and admitted of htr being
about most of the time. Yesterday
morning ehe accompanied Misses Vir
ginia and Hattie Marden to church, but
about 11:45 whispered to the young
ladies that she felt cold and would go
borne and get warm. As they passed
the house on their way home ebo called
thm in and they found her in great
pain, and while Hattie ran for Mr.
Gibons, her sister remained doing all
she could to ease her, finally telephon
ing for the doctor. She grew steadily
worse, however, and about twenty
minutes after her husband arrived the
pain seemed to strike the heart and Ehe
breathed her last, seemingly uncon-
scions during the entire time that she
was in a dangerous condition ,
The suddenness of it all seemed to
etun those about ber, and nvlees those
who received the news later, for having
lived in The Dalles since 1862, and be
ing so prominent in church work and
society circles, she was so well known
and generally beloved.
She was born in Princeton, 111., March
8, 1843, her maiden name being Matilda
Francis Wixam. She was married to
Mr. Gibons in 1856, when she was but
13 years of age. : Came to The Dalles in
1862, where ' ehe '- has 'since lived.
She was the mother of five children,
only two of whom are living George
and Ralph. She is. last but one of a
ltre fa mi I v.
Thtj eymufhy of a'l goes out to those
whom she leaven, (Specially her husband
wnobts life will be doubly desolate, hav
ing paesed eo many years with so happy
and loVtd a c "'opinion.

men Clougb, bteprene, Kuck, Keller,

matters attended to.
First was read the report of the fi

mended that the recorder open a book

giving credit for taxes which the county
collects for the city.
On motion of Clocgh the fire and
water committee was inFtrnrtpd and
empowered to purchase six new 6-;nch
fire hydrants to place m various locali
ties throughout the city.
The recorder was then instructed to
draw up an ordinance regulating the
this ordinance is to restrain persons
from putting up dangerous boards which
are liable to fall and cauee much trouble.
Should some of those recently . erected
be blown over they would be liable to
do serious damage.
Quite, a little inconvenience being
caused by the post holes at the old fair
grounds being left open, the marshal
was instructed to see that they are filled
in. ' - : - -- --- -. '
. The judiciary committee asked for
further time in regard to the application
of C. L.': Phillips for a deed to certain
property on the hill.
; -It was then reported . to the council

of W. S. Myers, on Court street, and the
matter was referred to the committee on

A . C. Giger Kobbed Saturday Mgbt.
Yesterday morning when Mr. A. C.
Giger awoke and began to drees he was
astonished to find that he had had a
caller during the night who bad not an
nounced bis arrival and left as uncere
moniously as he came. He, however,
had made the call one which counted as
far as he was concerned. .
Mrs. Giger is visiting friends in Salem
and Mr. Giger occupied the front bed
room The doors of the house leading
outside were all locked, bnt a back
window was found by the caller to be
unlatched, and raising it be' pushed
a settee aside, and entered. Mr. Giger
had left a jet burning in his room.
which evidently afforded light ehougt
for the robber to eee his way clear, as he
left it burning. On the dresser was a
watch, which Mr. Giger had given his
wite as a wedding present, and which
was valued at $80. This he had the good
taste to appropriate. He also took a
suit of clothes which Mr. Giger had
worn the day before. Then he walked
into the parlor and must have felt that
be bad plenty of time, for he emptied
the poc&ets and placed penknife, papers,
etc., in a neat little pile on . the couch,
taking the clothes with him. In the
vest pocket was a watch worth $60, and
on the chain a KnightTemplar'e charm
set with diamonds, for which Mr. Giger
paid $35. . These, of course, he did not
neglect to appropriate. . In the pants'
pocket was a purse containing four
twenty-dollar pieces and some check?.
The checks be kindly fo'de 1 end put
back in the purse, laying it on the pile
of "refuse," but the twenty dollar pieces
he forgot to leave.
Evidently fteiing satisfied, be' un
locked the back door and let himself out
that way.
It seemed but a small transaction and
yet Mr. Giger is the loser by abont $2b5,
not counting the suit of clothes, beside
the value attached to the articles which
cannot be reckoned In dollars ana cents.
In both of the watches were pictures
of their little boy and' girl, but other
than those, which can be easily de
stroyed, he took nothing which could be
need as a clew. -:
