The band concert at the club parlors
last night, as ubub1 succeeded in draw
ing a very large crowd of members and
their lady friends. The music was
splendid and comprised some new se
lections which were greatly enjoyed.
Indeed the entire concert was a treat.
Two tmall boyB had the definition of
'curfew ordinance" explained to them
in a realistic manner last night. Strol
ling about the streets at 9 o'clock they
met Phirman, who escorted them up to
the city jail. The boys were pretty well
scared and their eyes opened wide as
they viewed the interior of the city
palace. When they were released they
were not slow to promise to keep off the
streets after the curfew hour and lit out
for home in a rush.
Arthur ComBtock, who spent a great
part of his boyhood days in The Dalles,
died in Salem Monday evening. Mr.
Comstock was a prominent business
man in Portland. He was manager of
the United Carriage Works until two
years ago, when he was forced to retire,
owing to ill health. He has been an
invalid since that time, and three weeks
ago was taken to the asylum in Salem,
where he died of general paresis. He
was 38 years old, and leaves a wife and
several sisters.

It has been the custom of Jackson
Engine Company for many yoars to give
a grand ball at least once a year, either
on Thanksgiving or New l ear's eve
and this year will not be an exception
for at a very enthusiastic meeting last
niuht it was decided to give anothar
this year on Thanksgiving eve, Wednes
day, the 29th. The beet part of it all is
that the proceeds aro to be given to the
new fire alarm svstem and chemical
engine fund, Live committees were np
pointed and the dance will probably go
with a snap.
Yesterday morning in Portland Judge
Sears rendered a decision in the I. II.
Taffe vs. the O. It. & N. Company
case. The demurrer to the answer was
sustained, Tall'o sued for damages for j
the detention at Chicago or beyond of a ;
car of salmon destined for New York. ;
The O. B. & N. Co. answered that under j
its contract it was not liable for any do- j
tentlon or damage occurring beyond j
Huntington, the terminus of its own
line. Printed stipulations to this effect
were on the hack of the bill of lading.
The place of destination in the bill was
left blank, but in another place the
name of the consignee and tho destina
tion wore designated, "Cheesbro Bros.,
Fulton Market, N. Y." Tho court held
that tho contract must bo constructed
as on the pnrt of the company to de
liver to this address, nnd that the
defenee set up could not he maintained ;
hence tho demurrer was sustained. The
defendant will plead over In five days.
Beach & Bowers' minstrels gave a good
entertainment at the (steward opera
house Monday evening. This is a new
company in this part of tho world, but
they have gained a reputation that will
readily be remembered in case they
como to La Grande at snmo future date.
Tho program was sufficiently varied
to change the monotony of tho usual
minstrel performance, and some fine
siipo'ialties were introduced. I he com-
our citizens will not permit it. But ro-
member it is not a question to bo
shifted to your neighbors, but one which
must receive individual attention. Tho
l.oard of fire delegates have done all in
their p'twer, and more! than could havo
been t'xnecled of the in. Have you dono
the saiiio? Have you contributed tho
ten per cent reduction which will bo re
ceived when tho new system is inaugur
ated, or in any way aesisted in procur
ing this much-needed improvement? If
not, seo Ito it before Tuesday that your
part has been done, or you may wake up
to tlnd that even that which we have
has been removed, for tho fire boys aro
becoming discouraged, and surely they
cannot be blamd, when some of our
moat prominent busiuees men, who will
benefit moHt thereby, have refused their

to tho advertised list. La Grande

At the inquest held Monday over the
body of the man found floating in the
big eddy on the Washington side Satur
day, it was discovered to he the body of
a white man about 35 or 40 years of age,
and from all indications the jury thought
there was foul play, and that the man
had probably been murdered and thrown
in the water. So far as wo can learn no
steps have been taken to clear the
mystery up; but no donbt if such is the
cae, time and the hour will reveal it.
and the jury and examining physicians
can then disclose facts of importance
concerning the case.
Many do not realize that if they fail
to pay the road tax and the city begins
suit against them, they are liable to
spend some timo in the.cityail and be
compelled to pay about double that
amount in costs of suit, One young
fellow (a boot black) found such to be
the case to his sorrow yesterday, and ho
was not an inhabitant of that delightful
resort very long until the road tax was
forthcoming. It is really amusing to
the collector to note the flimsical excuses
brought forth in the attempt to evade
its payment. One would imagine the
$4 a hundred times that amount.
THE IMPORTANT QUESTION.

But surely before Sunday, much Jesa
Tuesday, the small amount of $250 will
he forthcoming. What is everybody's
business, however, is nobody's business,
and someone outside of the fire depart
ment should make it a personal matter
and not let this important question
drop after it has been enrried so far.
Shall we have an improved ffropystem
or not? That is the question to he de
cided at once.

for the
Editok Chronicle :
The chief of the fire department, the
siibscriution collector, and several mem
bers of the board of fire delegates held an
informal meeting last evening to con
sider the matter of the proposed fire hn
tirovement for the city. They find that
with the .$400 subscri tied by the council,
tlm 300 from the hook and ladder com
pany, and tho $100 from the Columbia
hnnn company, tosretner wiin an mat
can be relied upon from the merchants'
subscription list, the total is still .$250
mrt of ihe necessary cost oi me im
provements. Unless tne additional if jou
is secured before next Tuesday, the
board of delegates will officially abandon
the plan at their regular meeting tnat
evening. uki.uu.vh..
This communication was a great sur
prise to the CimoNiCLE, for we had sup
posed the question of tho improvements
n tho fire department's apparatus, was
settled and that there would be no
further difficulty regarding it. And
now comes the announcement that there
is a possibility of the wliolo tiling being
thrown up because there is a shortngo
of ten per cent in the amount necessary
to secure the new alarm system and
chemical engine.
This must not bo aud wo feel positive
Few Dalles citiz-ns awaited the elec
tion returns last mgni, out tne nrss
question with all this morning was,
"What about the election?" The first
report was that Ohio had cone Republi
can, but Kentucky was all right lor the
Democrats. Later reports, however,
were to the effect that tho latter state
had also gone Republican by from 7,000
to 12,000. The election was perhaps tho
most lively in that state of any. Until
noon the returns, which were mostly for
the Republicans, were as follows in tho
principal states:
Ohio, from 25.CO0 to 40,000 Repub
lican. Kentucky, from 7,000 to 12,000 Re-
publican.
Massachusetts, heavy Republican
majority.
Iowa, also heavy on the Republican
side.
Nebraska went fusion from about 5,000
to 10,000.
Republicans carry New York and ex
pect to gain several seats in the state
assembly.
In ban Francisco, Phelan, the Demo
cratic mayor, was re-elected over Horace
Davis, Republican.
In Maryland the Democrats are prob
ably ahead.
AU Important Difference.
To make it apparent to thousands,
who think themselves ill, that they are
not alllicted with any disease, but that
the system simply needs cleansing, is to
