It is not neceseary to remind members of tho Columbia Dancing Club that to night is the regular party night, for all are looking forward to tho pleasure of dancing; to the music ot a full orchestra. At Prof. Sandvlg's dancing party to morrow night, the Wentworth, Bon Ton and Prairie Queen will be among the list of dances, and all will have an op portunity to learn them. On next Wed nesday evening the usual lessons will be postponed o'n account of the Firemen's ball. We are told that a fares of surveyors are at work in the vicinity of lower 10 Mile. There are suspicions as to what their mission it, hut nothing has been verified so far. They might at be a little more givo them a few least call on us and friendly; we might pointers. Some of our bowlers have asked that the names of the defeated team in the three-cornered tournament Wednesday evening be published; but the victors seem to be reticent on the subject, and do not seem to care tq gloat over their victory. F. L. Houghton will furnish any information desired. The deer-hunting season always proves dear hunting in more ways than one, It has cost several lives in Oregon this year; or rather, the carelessness of companions is accountable for it. From the Adirondacks, however, comes the report that twenty-three persons have been accidently killed this year. The former parties given by Jackson Engine Company having taken place In the Vogt, without making inquiry wo announced that the ball next week would bo given there, We are, how ever, informed that tho Baldwin has been chosen this year. This change w ill only add to the pleasure of dancing, as the floor Is at present in splendid condi tion, If any still are skeptical concerning the truth of the statement that work is tobefcin at once on the portage road, they should have watched the loug line of teams, wagons and all tho parapher nalia which was ferried across the river this morning prepaiatory to commenc ing work in earnest. It looked like business to those who watched the wait ing lino at the ferry. The superintendent of the Marion county schools has decided to hold the next county institute at the same time as tho western divifion of the Oregon state teachers' association on December 20th, 27th and 28th. So that 122 teach ers, not consldeiing thoeeof Salem, will bo in attendance. Many teachers from this county will attend, and from all Indications it will bo a most enjoyable meeting, Yesterday afternoon Clinton Brad ahaw narrowly escaped a very serious accident, which might have caused him the loss of eyesight in the right eye, While playing with tha boys n't school, one of them accidently struck him In the eye, At first It whs thought to be a eerlous injury, hut it Is much better today and the little fellow will be all right and ready for another play In u few days. It takes a very little to make some people get the big head and look down upon their neighbors, and so our neighbors on the north end of "Smoky Row" are all puffed up over the fact that they have put on an extra coat ot pilot. The Ciihonici.i: never did believe j in painting ana prefers beauty un jodorned. Howover, as their improve ' wonts add to the general appearance of j tho street, wo have no kick coming, j TIub afternoon about 1 :30, W. G. Davidson, u traveling optician, died at tho Skibbo hotel. His home la near Seattle and he has been in this city for a month past, being ill most of tho time and having received kindly caro., Ho Is a man of about 40 years, and leaves a family of seven children. Is a Scotch mat! by birth, and of tho Presbyterian faith. His remain were taken to Mlchell's undertaking parlors, from which placo tho funeral will take place tomorrow afternoon at 2:30. For three years and a half Bertie McCoy has been a victim of consump tion, and last night at 10:15 o'clock death camo to relieve him of his suffer ing. Ho was 10 years of age, and the son of Mrs. Win, McCoy. His father died several years since At the hospital in Portland. He leaves, beside his mother, several brothers and sisters, The funeral, which will be conducted by Rev. G. Rushing, of the Christian church, will take place tomorrow at 10 o'clock from the family residence on Fulton strKnt. e boring for coal on Seufert Bros'. ground, n half mile above the city, yester day, the workmen struck an artesian well about 100 feet belov the surface. The supply of water is good and it is thrown about twenty feet into the air. Whi!e it will be of some benefit in the work of boring, being situated as it is it cannot be of any use to Seufert Bros. Those who are in great need of such a water eupply might do well to try the experiment of boring for it before the drill is removed from our city. The meeting of the Student's Literary Society tonight at the city hall at 7:30 o'clock will beof an especially interesting nature. Invitations have been sent to the members of the High School to be present and those of the general public, both ladies and gentlemen, who are interested in the subject to be discussed are invited to attend. The question for debate, is Resolved, "That the Acqui sition of the Philippines Would be Bene ficial to the Utiited States," and many of our most prominent citizens will cake part in the general diEcussion, which will no doubt be somewhat of a political nature. It will not only encourage the members to see a large attendance, but be of benefit to the audience. We cannot refrain from frequently calling attention to the amount of drunkenness among the Indians, for so disgusting is it becoming that it is a dis grace to the city. Yesterday afternoon a specimen of humanitv called Caleb Shorty, was found dead drunk lying near the Baldwin opera house on the beach. He was arrested and plead guilty, when he was fined $5, which he now eaweth out. This morning visitors to the Umatilla House might have hail a pplond'd opportunity to obtain an Indian picture, without any objection on tho part of tho subject. An Indian woman was snoring nway a drunken spree near a lot of wood piled up on the street leading to tho ferry. It is dis gusting to everyone that such a thing is allowed to go unmolested. As is their wont, tho Elks will make their memorial service this year, if possible, more' impressive than ever before. Sunday, Dec. 5ih is tho date, and W. T. Dovell, a young attorney of Walla Walla, lias been chosen to deliver tho eulogy. From reports we have gleaned from those wiio are acquainted with tho gentleman, and also judging from mention made at various times through his homo papers, we are par ticularly foitunato in being permitted to listen to Mr. Dovell. He is an inti mato friend of F. W. Wilson, of this city. Tho latter, we understand, has accepted an invitation to deliver the eulogy at Heppner, and If ever the people of that little city had a treat they will have it 911 that occasion, that Is it an orator can succeed in making u second effort as meritorious as was Mr. Wilson's in Tho Dalles three yoara ago. Tho Dalles will naturally receive some benefit from the presence of 200 working men so near her gates, and while moat of the supplies will perhaps be furnished on tho ground, yet there will bo much that this city will bo deponded upon to supply. Between the supply point and the scene of activity is the Columbia, not very broad here to he sure, but suf ficient to necessitate the expenso of ferriage. Wo understand the round trip is 25 cunts' to a passenger on foot, and while this is very reasonable for the every day trade, would it not be a splendid idea for the city to so arrange it that these men can reach our city at even a less expense; making such a rate that tho laborer receiving the smallest wages could make the trip each evening without feeling that he is out much, It certainly would he advantageous to the city in the long run, These 200 men Hill be here for six months, and some maybe desirous of making this head quarters. Tickets could be furnished them at n reduced rate or In somo way the trips be made cheaper. About ff'Ny ladies wore invited to meet Mr. Itogor Siunott at the homo of her fister-ln-law, Mrs. J. 8. Fish, yee terday afternoon, and it was the occasion of a most pleasant gathering from 2 un til 5 o'clock. With a cosy fire burning In the parlor grato and chrysanthemums roses and carnations, with potted plants arranged tastily about tho rooms, It was an attractive sight. Tho ladies at once discovered familar advertisements pin ned about tho room and 'felt positive, having seen them so often in papers and magazine',' that they would have no difficulty In placing the names of the wares they advertised on cards pri , vlded. It wai .'i nmni' difficult ta'k. tiowever, than imagined! and icquired no little time toderipher.

There will be a turkey and pigeon shoot on the beach Wednesday and Thursday, Nov. 29th and 30th, conducted by A. Y. Marsh and Isaac Joles. td-dttw .- Smoke to Your Own I'rollt, As well as ours.

Upon investigation it was found that the skin h.ul been brokfn, and blood appeared on the face and arm of the smithy. In his attempt to stop the blood and relieve the pain, tho In jured parts had received more or less coal dust so that it did not look alto gether like a fresh wound. By this time a crowd had gathered around the young man, who was rather pale and sitting down, Just then the doctor came by, on'l being attracted by the crowd stopped to see what was the ex citement. After looking Bt tho "un fortunate" man a moiient, he said, "young man, you have varioloid, (small pox,) you hud better get home." Then turning to Tom, his partner, eaid, "Take him away, take him away." Repub lican. Old Ocenn on n Tear. Advices from all along the Oregon coast tell of an unusually high sea last Wednesday morning. The Crescent City Record tells of the effect of tho high tides there: "Wednesday morning the highest seas for several years, prevailed along this part of the coast. The waves ran mountain high, washing debris over the breakwater into the streets of I Cresceut City in many places. At the j west end of Second street logs were piled high in the street by the force of the breakers. It was a grand eight to watch the waves lin-ak along the rock bound coaet, throwing sprav over the highest mainland points and rocks de tached from the shore line. The most damage was done the bridge leading across Elk river iu Elk valley. Logs were thrown onto the etructure damag ing it to such an extent as to make it impossible.
