Gus Bonn returned yesterday from a

years.

List night about 0 o'clock at her homo
near tho fair grounds, Mrs. James Case,

about a month ago. She leaves a hus

which will arrive from Portland tonight.

It is often a difficult matter for a
newspaper to determine just what to say
regarding a play which will appear in
our city, and yet, if possible, we woujd
like to prevent theater-goers miseing a
good show. It is always a pretty safe
way to judge from the opinion of reput
able residents who have.witnessed its pro
duction in other cities. In conversation
with one of our leading citizens today,
he assures us that lie had seen "A Mid
night lit-II" when produced in Portland
last year and says he wouldn't misa it
tliis time for anything. Others liavo ex
preEsed tho same opinion regarding it.
So we feel like urging our people to see
it Monday night.
Now that tho new band has been uell
organized and is getting down to busi
ness in earnest, promising us some of
tiie best music we liavo ever enjoyed in
The Dalles, it just occurs to us to inquire
wiiore the band stand, which was erected
three years ago in the school yard, is
"at." During that summer our people
were treated to tho best of music every
Sunday afternoon. No doubt the pres
ont band would occasionally give a
sacred concert wero a band stand pro
vided. While the club portico Is used
for evening concerts, .it is not the most
convenient for the musicians nor1 their
audience, tho latter having no com
fortable plao tc sit unless they perch
upon a wood pile or on top of some
China wash house. Ltit's have a band
stand, whether it's old or new.
Tho party, consisting of Hon. M. A.
Moody, of this city; Dr. Tucker, W. W.
Catlin, Mrs. Reed and Mrs. Palmer, of
Portland, and tho Misses Lang, liavo re
turned from their trip to Cloud Cap Inn.
Although members of the party make the
trip every year, thoy report that they
have never found the surroundings more
pleasant. Not a vlstageof smoke can bo
seen, tho air is perfectly delightful, and
tho mountain grand beyond description,
six inches of snow having fallen recently.
Cooper's epur is well covered now, which
la not a usual thing at this time of the
year. Tho Inn has entertained more
guests this season than at any other
time, and tourists are still making their
way to that resort. If the popularity
continues, the Inn will no doubt have to
bo enlarged. No one ever vlaited the
spot without feeling a deaire each year
to again mako the trip.
Thank You.
We deaire through the columns of the
CuitoNioLK to express our sincere thanks
to those who so kindly assisted during

The New Money Orders.
A new form of domestic money orders
will be issued September 4th, arid it is a
great improvement over the old. It may
be some weeks yet before any of the new
form reach The Dalles, as the stock of old
must be exhausted before new ones can
be procured.
The dimensions of the order are those
of the ordinary bank draft. This money
order has two udjuncts : The advice, re
produced simultaneously with the money
order through tire use of carbonized pa
per, and the receipt, which latter is de
tachably a part of the advice, repro
duced in the same manner from the
money order. The liability to mistake
is greatly lessened and time is saved by
reproducing on the advice and receipt
the essential particulars of the money
order. The only writing on the order is
the date, name of payee, sum in words,
address of postmaster at leceiving end,
and name of postmaster at remitting
end; this is all reproduced on the ad
vice, whicli has of course different print
ed matter on it. On the money order is
also written, on the right end, the sum
in figures, which is reproduced on the
advice blank, torn from it and given to
remitter as receipt. It, the advice and
the order, have the same number printed
on them. The last thing to do is for the
remitter to sign his name and the ad
dress of payee on the advico.
A stub pen, which is stiff enough to
produce a carbon copy, must be used in
writing the money order.
