Charles Iloyt's play, "A Midnight
Bell," is to be produced in Portland
commencing Sunday night. We have
always heard this play epoken of in the
highest terms and are glad to inform
our readers that the company will visit
Tho Dalles on Sept. -1th. Mr. Butler is
determined to give theater-goers here
the benefit of good companies, and is
conscientious in his efforts along that
line. Among other plays we are to hear
is "My Friend From India," which
appears hero some time in October.
There is not the slighest doubt regard
ing this production, which has already
established a reputation for itself.
There is a queer old Chinese character
seen often on the busmees streets ct our
city. He hailed from Portland recently
and is a veritable "dope fiend," being
drunk from opium tho greater part of
the time. He is not so beside himself,
however, aa to forget to bo sociable and
speaks to almost every one he passes,
most of the timo requesting a job of
washing windows. This is not appre
ciated by 'the ladies, to whom he is a
great terror. It would bo well were tho
authorities to look after him and stop
his mcanderinge. A diunken white
man is dotestable enough, but when it
comes to a "doped" Chinaman it is time
to call a halt aud get rid of him'.
Mr. and Mrs. I. N. Sargent returned

there discovered that it was their wed

A very sad death was that of Etta,

beans, when the little one crawled up
and holding on to a chair pulled the
boiling water over, tcaldlng her fearful-
y. As she lingered, the parents hoped
to save her life, but, altuoughv the
services of two physicians were eecused,
little could bo dono for Iter find die died
Inst night. Two neighbors arrived In
town this morning to secure a casket,
nnd the burial will tnko place this
evening. She was the only child, and
t the sad circumstances makes tbo death
i doubly hard for the parents to bear,

j W. S. Myers, Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Miller,
Mrs. J. A. Geisendorffer and MWftarnh
Henderson started tliis niornhig for
VjIouu uap inn on Ml. Hood, anil a por-
tion of the party are determined to
reach the summit of the mountain.
From Fred Houghton, who was at the
Inn last Friday, we learn that this is just
the time to make tho trip. While it is
slighter colder than in former years, the
mountain is now at its best, and the
ralna have so cleared the atmosphere
that the magnificent view obtained from
the Inn cannot bo imagined, but ehould
be seen by all. Generally in August the
force t Ores make the atmosphere
emoky that the mountain and those
so
in
the distance are obstructed from view.
This year that difficulty is obviated.
Thoee who have never made the trip
have no idea of what they nre missing.
Dry goods clerks may not always came
out ahead at base ball, but when it
comes to downing "camp followers"
they're sure shot, as was proven by a
tragedy at Stevenson last week. Two
fellows had' been skulking about the
place for some time and had frightened
some children dreadfully, so that camp
ers were on the lookout for them. On
the memorable nigbt at midnight the
clerk was dreaming, when suddenly
rocks began to descend on the canvass
and a noise was heard outside. Gather
ing his revolver, the brave hero went
forth to battle. Creeping cautiously
over the guy ropes and measuring his
steps, he saw under a tree near by, the
I figure of a man. In accents tragic the
I youth exclaimed, "What want you
j here?" No answer came, and still the
i youth crept on. Suddenly as he drew
j near he saw the arms extended and the
ngure uenu toward turn "ana the villian
still pursued him." In desperation he
took swift aim, the bullet went home
and the villian fell pierced through tho
leg. Hurrying to the scene, the mur
derer bent to lift the dying form, when
lol and behold, tlie life went out and
the man returned to the straw from
whence he came. And now the clerk is
looking for the neighboring small boys
and attempting to keep the tragedy from
the papers.
VISIT OF AN EARLY SETTLER
H, II. Wheeler h)enil Today In tho
City Alet-tiuf; rtli iuU anil Markinc
the Chunges In The Dalles.
Ttiere is a gentleman in our city today
very familiar to all old settlors here,
for they remember well II. H. Wheeler,
who is called the father of Wheeler
county, and who in tho early 'GOs was
one of the best known men in The
DalleB and throughout the country. In
1804 lie drove stago between this place
and Canyon City, and in those days it
meant much to drive through a country
infested with hostile Indians, having in
your possession valuables, and carry
tlie mail safely through. He was fa
miliar with all tho tactics of the wily
Bed Man, nnd more than once was
compelled to withstand thrm. On the
10th of September, 1800, as Mr. Wheeler
was driving along, just the other side of
Mitchell he was accosted by a band
of Snakes and Bannocks, who held him
up and robbed the stage. In the attempt
to defend himself he was shot through
the left cheek and the roof ol his mouth
shot out. For a tune his life was de
spaired of, but thanks to Dr. Brooks,
who was 60 dearly beloved by all early
settlors here, he survived, although he
will bear the marks to his giave.
It haa been eight years sinco Mr
Wheeler visited The Dalles, aud ho tees
many changes. Particularly does he
miss many of his old friends whom he
was wont tj meet on his visits here,
among them "Bebel Tom" who died a
few uiontliB sinco and who used to tend
his trusted horses for him, aud was a
familiar character here.
Mr. Wheeler now lives near Mitchell
nnd is on his way to Portland. Asked
concerning the firo ut Mitchell ho said
it was very disastrous to tho little town,
but that already the citizens are begin
ning to rebuild and all signify their
intention of staying by the town. That
vicinity was also visited by a waterspout
on the 10th, which did considerable
damage, washing out an entire field of
alfalfa and drowning eleven hogs belong
ing to a man whose place it chose as its
prey.
For a man of his years, who has passed
through such varied experiences, Mr.
Wheeler Is particularly hearty aud his
age has not told ou him asou many who
live au eaey life.

WHAT THEY THINK OF US.
Anottirr Complimentary Notice for The
, Dnllcn XV Looked Onml to Them.
Among the very many complimentary
write tips which have been sent us since
the visit of the editors to our state we
clip the following from the pen of J. G.
Glbbs of the Ohio Reflector, who is also
treasurer of the X. E. A., and a most
excellent gentleman :
During the afternoon we stopped at
The Dalles of the Columbia, a flourishing
and thriving city of G.OOO people, at the
head of navigation on that part of the
i river, where we wore the guests of the
' city for dinner. And such a dinner!
' What with several sixty-pound Chinook
salmon freshly caught an 1 daintily'
J cooked, and garnished with all the dell- J
j cacies of the season, thero was enough i
i and to spare of the choice fish-food for I
a thousand people.
Here the Columbia, which abovo
had
I been from one to four miles in width, is
compreeped by the encroaching rocka to
a channel less than two hundred feet
wide, and goes dashing and rushing
along at a speed said to reach fifty miles
in the hour, throwing spray high in the
air and foaming like Niagara below the
falls. The word Dalles is an Indian
terra descriptive of rushing water, and
is applied to notable rapids in several
parts of our country, but nowhere so
appropriately as here. The citizens of
The Dalles were very cordial in their
reception and did all in their power
to make our visit pleasant. It is a great
wheat and fruit market, and is the
greatest original wool shipping point
in the United States, 0,000,000 pounds
per year being bought here, and thanks
to the beneficent Dingley tariff the wool
is worth something and tlie farmers are
well-to-do and prospering. The Dalles
iB a rich and flourishing city.
A steamboat line down the Columbia
to Portland Is owned here.
Ex-Mayor George Farley, an old Nor
walk boy, is one of the leading merchants
of The Dalles. Seven years ago, on a
previous visit, I was most royally enter
tained by Mayor Farley at his handsome
home, and lack of opportunity waB the
only car to its repetition by him this
time. Mr. aud Mrs. S. L. Brooks were
also very attentive and regretted that
our brief stay prevented entertaining us
at their home.
Late in the afternoon we left The
Dalles on the final run to Portland,
which city we were to reach at nine
o'clock in the evening. In the distance
wo caught glimpses of Mt. Hood, the
pride of Oregon, and anon a charming
waterfall would dash down the rocky
crags at our side, with the great river
always in sight, surmounted by the
beetling e' ill's of the Cascade mountains
rising from the opposite bank. It was
a never-tiring succession of views whose
beauty and grandeur are indescribable.
