The town is full of country people to
day, and all' look smiling and report
crops and everything else the brightest.
The rain of Saturday and Sunday was
very general in the interior and came in
good play. The only crops that are the

' From a friend in Portland who ': at
tended the Mays-Ainsworth wedding
we learn that the Oregoniah failed to
mention one of the prettiest features of
the wedding, and that two of our sweet
est Dalles "young ladies" were for
gotten. The little twin daughters of
Mr. and Mrs. A. R Thompson, Edna
and Lois, acted as Hower girls, and at
tired in light blue silk gowns, made a
very pretty picture as they carried bas
kets of the sweetest flowers with which
to strew the path of the bridal party.
Last eight about 9:30 o'clock, Pearl,
the 6-year-old daughter of R. G. D. Wil

father beinz in this city working for
Huch Glenn. Pearl came up from her !
home at Sprague about two weeks ago on
a visit. She was taken ill two days
since with what was supposed to be
typhoid fever, but which terminated
very suddenly in her death. The re
mains will he taken to Sprague tomor
row for burial by the side of her mother,
who died last summer.
Those who have a good cherry crop
this year may consider themselves
fortunate, for Royal Anns are demand
ing an exceptionally good price, clue per
haps to their scarcity. Ttie crop iu the
Valley having failed, the commission
merchants from Portland are coming up
into Eastern Orgon and buying up the
entire crop from different orchards.
While Iare Royal Anns last year were
sold for three cents, this year the fruit
men are getting four and a halfcents for
the best. Where there is a full crop
the fruit is smaller than usual ; but those
who have hut a half crop can show Forue
of the largest and best cherries we have
ever seen.
A meeting of the members of the
public library was heid at the library
room last night for the purpose of re
vising the charter. Among other things,
it was arianzed that any who are mem
bars of the library, that isjby paying
25 cents a month are entitled to its
privileges, are also entitled to vote on
any question which may come up in
connection therewith. The ladies real
ized about $100 from the minstrel
performance, a portion ot which will be
used in supplying new books, and thirty
five volumes Will be added at once.
This is a splendid opportunity to pro
cure the latest reading, and many new
members should be taken in.
We have always yielded the palm to
Hood River . when it comes to the
strawberry question, but this year Hood
River berries are not in it with our Mill
creek berries. Being accustomed to in
quiring for their celebrated berries,
Dalles people made this year no ex
ception until they discovered ; that this
year's crop was an off one end they
were not only' small, but sour. . . We
turned then to our product, and hence-
forth there'll be no need of persuading
people that ours are the best, for any
who have tasted of the luscious straw
berries, which are being brought to
market by our own farmers, will never
be induced to ask for any other.
Although being absent from The Dalles
for ten years, ..Miss Alice Duffy, who
taught in our public schools, has a very
large circle of friends here, who are in
terested concerning her welfare. About
two years ago they were much grieved
to hear that hei favorite brother, Henry,
had been murdered by burglars who
entered the store where he slept.
Another deep sorrow has come to her
during the 1 past week, when her older
brother, James, was killed by the train
when on an excursion from his home in
Waukon to Burlington, Vt., where the
national convention of Foresters was to
be held. Stepping off at a way station
to speak to friends, he attempted to
board the train after it had started and
fell under the wheels, receiving injuries
from which he died the next evening.
The party, consisting of Messrs. Sau-
fert, Moore, Fish, Gorman and Van
Anda, who made a trip to Dog river,
where the city's water ditches are sup
plied, examined the city ditches and
those of the : Lumbering company.
Among other things they found the
former ditches broken in two places and
much of them filled with timber and logs,
which greatlv reduced the supply of
water, and is in need of repairs. A
meeting of the water coramisson will be
held the latter part of the month, when
a report will be made and plans ar
ranged for increasing our supply.' They

more im portant. The guests were called
upon to name the oldest city, who
settled it and why it was so named, and
many heard for the first time that the
first potatoes ever grown in Oregon were
raised at Astoria from twelve spuds
which the settlers had succeeded in pre
serving sufficiently on their trip around
the Horn to make them grow. Then,
too, others were not aware that Astoria
was first named Fort George, tuat Walla
Walla was called Nez Perce, and that
Astoria and Eugene are now vieing as to
which has the oldest court house in the
state. And so while the guessing wa3
enjoyable it was also profitable. Then
five-minute conversations took place
and lighter subjects were discussed until
the hostesses brought in refreshments
of ice cream, cake and fruits.
The ride home by moonlight was very
enjoyable, for nowhere does the moon
show to better advantage than from the
Dry Hollow hills.

A few minutes before 5 o'clock Sun
day morning the most violent thunder
storm in the recollection of the oldest
residents of Spokane, and the first to be
experienced in that part of the country
in a number of years, struck the city.
In one terrific bolt that woke almost
the whole town, it tore out the front of
one house, coming perilously near taking
the life of a woman and her-child; set
afire the pumping Rtation at Natatorinm
park, which subsequently burned to the
pround, and Ecorched a corner of the j
Electric hotel. A fierce rain of ehort j
duration followed the thunder storm, j
and in live minutes the gutters were
miniature creeks.
The terrific thunderclap also awoke
Mrs. Frank E. IJutton of No. 1702
Gardner avenue, and her young son.
with the bewildered impression that
something dreadful had happened, and
that they had been hurled downward
through two floors into the cellar.
This is not exactly what had hap
pened; something more miraculous than
that. And the strangest phasn of the
wild occurrence ia that neither mother
nor son was injured, beyond a bad
shaking up of the nerves.
The room was in frightful confusion.
Furniture was overturned, pictures on
the walls were awry, and the bed in
which Mrs. Ilutton and her son had
been asleep was in fractured pieces,
strewn about the floor. The feather bed
on which Mrs. Hutton and her son had
lain in slumber, occupied its relative
position in the room, but instead of
resting in a respectable and dignified
position on its bed Blats, it lay stretched
out on the floor.
.The Huttons rubbed their eyes and
gasped. And they shivered, too, for the
cold night wind was blowing gusts of j
driving rain into the room through a
gaping hole where the gabled front of
the house had been.
The lightning had struck the front of
the one and one-half story house, just
above the first-story line, and bad torn
away the clapboards and plastering,
leaving the bedchamber exposed to view
from the street. " ' .
The eame lightning stroke had torn
asunder the bed in which Mrs. Hutton
and her boy had been eleeping,; leaving
the mattress and the sleepers on the
floor, without so much as injuring a
hair of their heads.
. The total loss to the Natatorium build
ings, it is estimated, will reach to. be
tween $7000 and $8000.
