People who contemplate coming to

J. E. Adcox, the watchmaker who has

Recorder Gates is strongly contemplat
ing studying for the ministry, havine
lost a good job this morning by not be
ing a theological student. Had the
young man who broached the subject
to him, and then backed out because
he wasn't n minister, known just what a
good knot he can tie in a short time he
wouldn't have hesitated a moment, but
he didn't and the preacher came out
ahead.
Our main street has presented quite
I a busy appearance daring the past week,
I being crowded at almost all hours of the
day with wool-laden wagons bound for
The Dalles and others loaded with
freight from that place. A great deal
of freight from The Dalles is hauled at
this season as the returning wool wagons
will bring it much cheaper than it can
be hauled for at any otbertime. At
one time on Wednesday we counted
twenty wagons laden with wool, passing
through town. Antelope Herald.

Yesterday morning Rev. Bronsgeest
delivered a very earnest address to his
congregation, enlarging upon the subject
mentioned by The Cheonicle regarding
the deplorable state of affairs which ex
ists in our city among the young girls,
who seem to have so little concern as to
their character. He urged the parents
to give heed to the manner in which
their children are brought up, caution
ing them against giving eo little thought
to their duties concerning them.
Passenger train No. 1, which is sup
posed to arrive here at 2 :5i p. m., is a
sore eye to west-bound passengers. She
is seldom on time, and it is a difficult
matter to find out just what time she is
expected, for one dislikes to be 'con
tinually "ringing up" No. 36 to find out.
However, that seemE to be the only way
of determining, and the employes will, it
seems, have to endure the annoyance of
answering the 'phone or abandon their
train, which would be a sad thing for
Dalles people.
The Columbia is as changeable as the
moon. One day it is falling at such a
rate that we really would become hope

give us an inkling of her didoes. Today
she stands at 33.6, having walked up
1.2 since yesterday. .The reports say
rise all along the line, 2.9 being re
ported at Lewiston. At this place
Thursday it will reach the 39 mark. It
will not cross the track here until the
51-foot mark is reached, but 46 feet will
give them trouble at the Cascades.
The music-loving portion of our city
will be pleased to learn that quite a
large subscription list has been obtained
for the violin recital, which . will take
place Wednesday evening in the X. of
P. hall. Mr. Rice is a violinist of un
usual ability and having obtained such
an accompanist as Prof. Birgfeld, mnst
certainly give Dalles people a treat they
seldom have the privilege of listening
too. Should any desire to add their
names to the list, they may do eo by
applying at Blakeley & Houghton's drug

We learn from neighbore in the vicin
ity of Union and Seventl- streets that
Cottingham, who was injured about a
week ago when walking on the railroad
track, is in a bad condition, being nn
able to caro for himself and having little
of the necessaries of life. The neighbors
have been caring for him, and have ap
plied to have him sent to the poor farm.
It seems to many that it is hardly fair
for a man to wreck his own life and
then be dependent upon the charity of
the citizens of the county ; but humanity
overlooks these feelings and will not
turn anyone from the door unheeded.

RIGHT KIND OF A CIRCUS.
Everyone Delighted With the Perform
ance A. Clean Show.
While a fairly large crowd attended
the circus Saturday night, it did not
compare with the number that filled the
large auditorium in the afternoon, most
evervone preferring the atternoon per
formance as generally that of the even
ing is curtailed in their hurry to be on
the move. This, however, did not Eeem
to be the case with this show, and every
one was delighted with the entire per
formance, the general verdict seeming
to be that it was the cleanest, most
meritorious circus that has ever visited
the city, being free from all gambling
devices, fakirs, etc., and the coarse jokes
so ueual in the modern circus. Then,
too, everything moved off in such a
methodical way, one feature no sooner
being off the arena that another was on,
causing no delay nor tiresome waits.
Particularly noticable was the fact that
the costumes were eo fresh looking and j
in contrast with those generally worn in I
the ring. Then, too, the performers had
not the jaded ' appearance such people
are wont to possess. . In fact it was a
pleasure to feel that a circus can be
carried on without the objectionable
features which have always been con
sidered a part of every such show.
It is impossible to give more than a
passing mention of the different features
of the performance. Following the
grand entry there is deserving of special
mention a feature of the introduction.
It was a patriotic display that could not
fail to enthuse any American audience.
First came a band at the head of a com
pany of German soldiers. To the strains
of "Die Wacht Am Rhein" they
marched to a position in one of the
rings. Next came a company of British
soldiers to the tune of "God Save the
Queen." France was next -with the
"Marseilles." Afterward came Japan
ese, Turks and other nations. .Last, tne
shrill notes of fife and the roll of a drum
was heard, and here came some minute
men of '76, with a typical Uncle Sam
leading. Behind them came the best
band of all, making the air tremulous
with the melody of "America," and at
the head of a squad of confederates, a
Equad of Union soldiers, with sailors and
marines. While all the bands played
"The Star Spangled Banner," three
figures appeared on the stage.
They were Uncle Sam, Columbia,
and Cuba in chains. After a pan
tomimic conversation, Uncle Sam struck
the shackles from Cuba and raised her
to a standing position and Confederate
and Union soldiers clasped bands.
The parlor tumbling by the Dacoma
family was perhaps the best work done,
unless it was the taapeze perform ance by
Millie Tumour.
Another most excellent feature was
Prof. Lock hart's herds of trained ele
phants. The trainer made those big
beasts do everything but talk. Their
tractability was marvelous. They
walked on their hind legs, danced , sat at
a table and ate a luncheon, and when
musical instruments were given them,
njViodv would have been surprised if
they had played the latest Sousa march
Thev didn't quite do that, though
What they did play was probably the
national hymn cf the jangle folks.
There w as a wonderful herd of trained
horses, any amount of high class ground
and lofty tumbling and trapeze work,
contortion acts, slack and tight wire
performances, and hippodrome races.
ibe menagerie and side shows were
well patronized.
'Ships That Pass In the Night.'
"Ships That Pass in the Night" was
the subject 01 a very eloquent and in
structive sermon delivered by Rev. Pol
ins at the Congregational church last
night.
Choosing as his text the words of Job,
My days are passed away as a swift
ship," he then referred to the quotation
from Longfellow's "Tales of a Wayside
Inn," which was the inspiration given
for the work by Beatrice Harraden, en
titled "Ships That Pass in the Night,"
and are as follows : "Ships that pass in
the night, and speak each other in pass
ing. Only a signal shown and a distant
voice in the darkness. So on the ocean
of life we pass and speak one another.
Only a look and a voice, then darkness
again and a silence." -
The speaker called attention to the
various ships that pass us on life's
voyage and of their eignificanca. If no
farther lesson is gleaned they must at
least remind ns of the brotherhood of
man and hie destiny. These ships are
God's messengers of love and opportu
nity, .and can only accomplish that
which he intended by the messages
which we accept and the good which
comes into our lives by the lessons
taught by them. Among these ships
which pass us is the good ship Faith,
which is heaven bound and comes laden
with the' gold of character, the pearl of
great price and the bleesings of integrity.
Another is the opportune day, which
passes for all and bears meEsages of
utmoBt importance.
Brief life, or child life, is a ship which
the speaker said might seem an unim
portant ship, but the little voice thus
heard has signally influenced many a
life and was a great factor for good in
teaching the lessons of unselfishness.
One is to be pitied who has sailed over
the ocean of life and given no heed to
those ships which have passed him, pay
ing no attention to the heart messages of
others. All are mariners on the bosom
of life's ocean, but whither are we sail
ing? Mother was then likened to a ship,
which is laden with a love cargo. . Hers
is not merely a voice, but a life-transfiguring
influence. May the response be
a glad one. The young man who loves
his mother cannot be very bad, nor go
very far in the wrong path.
Two other ships are the friend who
influences for good and the messengers
divinely commissioned of God to speak
and tell of the dangers on life's voyage;
luring in Biren tones to the path of rieht.
In closing, Mr. Poling urged his con
gregation to give heed to every ship
whosa cargo was for the betterment of
humanity and to uplift rather then dc
grade.
