It may be the duly of the city ofllcera
to eee that the cross walks are kept
clean, but it wouldn't be it bad Jdea for
property owners to assist a little by oc
casionally gutting out their little shovels.
It ia not an uncommon thing these
dark nights to hear of persons slipping
off of high sidewalks Into the mud, or
(ailing into some chuck bole. Isn't it
delightful to bu compelled to walk in
darkness?
Ganteman, who ws sentenced yester
day to a two years' term in the state
1'fcnltontlary, Is on his way to Salem,
W. H. Butts and A. A. Urquhart having
left for that destination this morning
with the prisoner in charge.
It will be good news to many ladies
that they will not bo compelled to
bother about cooking pastry this thanks
giving, for on Wednesday of next week
the ladies of the Good Intent will be
prepared to furnish them everything
good in that line.
O. M. Grimes has been receiving
droves of hogs from various sections for
the past few days and will ship two ear
loads, or 187 head, toITroutdale tonight.
They are now selling at a good price,
and were more farmers to go into the
hog-raising business, they would find it
a profltahle industry.
There is a certain pretty brown easel
mere school suit in A. M. Williams &
Co.'s show window today, marked $3,
which up to the commencement ot their
big clearance sale sold at $4,50. Those
who have bought of this particular lot
kn,ow how good a suit it is and will
readily appreciate their present low
price.
Whilo the crowd which attended the
club last night was perhaps not so large
as on former concert weeks, the music
was, if possible, better than ever before,
the selections being especially taking.
Particularly pleasing was the uuinber
called the "Erin Waltzes." These con
certs are greatly enjoyed and add much
to the interest in the club.
The views shown by the Edison Ware
graph Company last night at the Vogt
were mostly descriptive of the late war
and in connection therewith. Some of
tbem were very realistic, particularly
those thrown on by the animatisvope.
Among them were views in Alaska, and
many were of the opinion that the view
along the Yukon resembled our own
Columbia river scenery. A good-sized
audience was present, and the small
boys assisted greatly in the applause,
A letter reeaived tuiB morning by Will
Crossen from Percy II. Levin, who, wijli
the local talent of. our city, gave "AN
Summer's Fancy" at the Vogt last
spring, tells that he is in South Bend
and on the 20th is to assist the local
talent there to put on a play called
"The Henrietta." This is Mr. Levin's
third visit to that city. He reports
splendid success at every placa ho has
visited. It is his desire to again visit
The Dalles after the first of- the year,
when a military play would probably be
put on.
What are termed "hall workers" are
plying their trade in Portland at present
and entering hallways, stealing what-.
ever may tie louuu therein, such as
overcoats, lints and umbrellas. Tho fav
orlte hour for such thieves is about
supper time, when families aro busy
with the evening meal. Tho sneak
thief ontets tho front door, which is
usually unlocked at that hour, and helps
himself to everything in sitfht. Dalles
people would do well to keep their doors
latched at such times as a stray "hall
worker" may venture this way.
Wo roalizo that If any honest person
picked up a puiso containing any sum
of money, (in the street, they would en
deavor to find tho owner by advertising
or other means, and if they were not
honest enough to do eo, any amount of
notices put in the papers with the
object of recovering it would avail noth
ing. But for fear the finder of a purse
which was lost last Saturday, has over
looked tho "Lost" notice in our columns,
and forgotten they found the purse,
we would call attention to it, hoping to
aid the lady in finding the pame.
The reeult of the preliminary hearing
in the case of W. It. Brown, charged
with assault with a dangerous weapon,
which came up in Justice Bayard'B
court yesterday afternoon, was that he
was bound over in the sum of $2000 to
appear before the next grand jury in
February. It is not likely he will secure
bonds. Those who ought to bo able to
judge seem to think his wife will appear
against him. However, should she pur
Eue the same course that many a woman
has taken and fail to prosecute, there is
no doubt evidence sufficient to make his
position a most unenviable one before
the jury.
At the home of Mr. and Mrs. Leslie
Butler, in East Portland, this evening at
5 o'clock will take place the weddine
of their tecood daughter, Miss Nellie
1 Butler, to Dr. E. L. Niskern, of Michi
gan. The newly married couple will
leave at once for Chicago, where they
will remain until spring, and will make
their future home in Muskegon, Mich.
The best wishes of a host of friends of
the bride in this city will follow her to
her new home and The Chronicle de
sires to bo counted among those who
wish for them a happy married life,
Jackson Engine Company never made
a failure of anything ami does not intend
to this year; but on next Wednesday
evening will only add to the splendid
reputation which they already have for
giving the most enjoyable bails of the
EeaBon. They have engaged Birgfeld's
orchestra, and intend to make every
thing pass off in tip-top shape. The
purpose for which it is given (that of
assisting in purchasing the fire depart
ment apparatus) is sufficient to assure
tbem a large crowd, but when added to
that is the further incentive of so good
a time, the Vogt will hardly be large
enough to accommodate the dancers.
Y James Blakeney returned home Mon
day evening from Portland and feels
much elated over the fact that the
doctors there told him lie conld diepente
with their services now; thai, so far
as they can tell his leg will get along all
right now. Mr. Blakeney has had a
very eerious time, and his leg is now an
inch and a half shorter than it should
be; but his friends aro pleased to learn
at ho considers :t on tlie way to pei-
neut strength. Whilo in Portland
ha met Geo. Beireis, who formerly was
his employ and well known here, and
ells U3 he is recovering rapidly from
tho Injiirv he received at the saw mill
on the Sound, and is now able to leave
the hospital and bo about tho hotel.
A happy little child was the 7-year-old
daughter of Frank Davis, of Home
Valley, who called at our ollice yester
day afternoon to show ns her "new
eye." From her uppearanue we could
not tell hut that her eyes were as good
us anyone's, but her father explained to
us that up loan hour before she had but
one eye, her little brother having ac-
cidently shot her eye out two years ago,
They were just returning from Garret
son's store, where he had fitted her with
a glass eye. It ia a difficult job, but
wab perfectly done. The little glrl'a
6yes are a pretty blue, and very large,
and it would be iiard to tell ono from
the other now. When she first looked
into the mirror she laughed with do
light and said: "Oh, mamma won't
know me now." She seems anxious to
show it to everyone, i
Last night Mr. I. D. Hewott, of Lyle,
arrived in tho city on tho boat, bringing
news of the sudden death of his brother's
wife, Mrs. Herbert Hewett, who was
formerly Miss Anna Gilliam, and miido
her home at The Dalles when a child,
She had been ailing sljghtly for a time,
but said she was much better ycsteiduy
morning, and prepared dinner. After
euting his meal her husband did Boine
chores and cume back to the house a
short time after 1 o'elock on un errand,
when ho found her, lying partially on
the bed, dead. Everything was done to
reviye life, but in vain. Heart trouble
was thought to be the cause. She was
uged 25 years, and leaves four children,
theoldeet 12 und the youngest 3, She was
a daughter of Mrs. Porter Gilliam und a I
sitter of Mrs, O. W. Cook, of 3-Mllo.j
The former left this morning for Lylc,
whero tho funeral will tako place
tomorrow.
Tlioso who so arrange as to vlult the
seaside for a short time during tho
winter montliB can obtain nn IiIp.i nf
tho grandeur of the ocean never dreamed
of by simmer visitors. Particularly so
this year, for tho tides aro unusuallv
high, and many from Portland and
Astoria have made tho trip down during
tho past week to witness tho wonderful
einht. Among the visitors to Long beach
is II. Glenn, who, with an uncle of
Mrs. Glenn, has spent the naat week In
their cottago at Scaview. Writing homo
ho says ho reached there in time to see
the hlehest tide, and that it camo un so
high that tho logs and drift wood were
carried up on to the high hen'jh In liont
of his cottaue, which is on the tame
avenuo with tho French and Lird cot
tages. When the waves strike the
point, which is called the "rocks," the
water Is thrown hundreds of feet high,
and Mr. Glenn says the grandeur of the
sight beggars description. While it
rains a little there now, most of the
time tho weather has been like spring.
The day he wrote, however, t lie wind
waB blowing terribly; eo hard that'they
could not make their way against it.
Clianco In I.lvo Stock Hntos.
Cattle shippers throughout tho West
will be interested in a change to become
effective Dec. 1 in rates for shipment of
livestock, says the St. Paul Globe. At
present cattle, sheep, hogs and horses
aro shipped and charges made at dollars
per car. The chango which will be
adopted bv all the roads will result in
the charges being cehts per hundred. In
discussing this matter a local freight
official says :
"This chango is, in fine, merely a
technical matter and will be of no
particular importance either to the rail
roads or to the shippers. It is a return
to a condition of affairs which prevailed
in former years. After long urn tho
pyctcm of charging dollars per car does
not meet with tho snrnu satisfaction as
computing tho shipments at so much
per hundred.
"Under the existing order rates aro
quoted stock shipper according to thu
length of the curs, Each car ia presumed
to have a normal capacity, but some
times in shipping this average is either
raised or lowered, according to tho grado
of the rattle. Under tho plan of charging
cents per hundred the shipper pays only
for that which he ship?, nnd euch and
every car will have to be carefully
weighed. In some instances the new
rates will prove an ndvantago to tho
railroad over the old ones, in others tho
shipper will get the advantage. It will
bo about a 'FtandolP, and thecDntB per
hundred rate will be adopted because It
id mure sutislautory to uli parties con
cerned." A GeuuitiH Flli Story.
Tho Albany Democrat tells the fol
lowing lieh story which is n good one:
An Oregon young lady while in Europe
met a lady who said: "I understand
the salmon in your rivers there are so
thick that it is impossible for the steam
boats to get through them. Is that so?"
"Yes," remarked the young lady,
"hut tho salmon nave been trained un
til they climb on tho banks and allow
them logo by. The farmers have plant
ed apple trees alonir the banks and the
fish sit and eat the apples until tho
boats have passed."
"Well, well,"' ejaculated the credulous
old lady.
The Democrat man he.ml this told by
the mother of the younu lady for a foct.
