Pigeon and turkey shoots may bo oil

cruelty to animals and to toach the
children to bo kind to dumb animale,
whon.for the sake of a little amusement,
the men of a community will pass the

Tho double funeral of Engineer Hunter
and Firoman Mller, which took plate at
Upper Albina Wodnesday afternoon,
was very largely attended. Many rail
road people were present from Tho
Dalles, who inform us that the service
was deeply impressive, Bishop Morris
and Rev. Mr. Simpson, of the Episcopal
church', conducting them. So numerous
were the floral offerings that two light
wagons were required to convey them to
Lone Fir cemetery, where the remains
of the deceased were laid to rest.
A fire in Portland yesterday morning

This morning Zachary Taylor, of An
telope passed through Tho Dalles on his
way from Spokans to the Valley, whero
he was taking tho body of his foii for
burial. About a year ago tiio young
man, who was 21 years of age, was takin
from Antelope to Spokane to receive
treatment for consumption under Dr.
Sutherland. The doctor gave them no
hope, seeing ho was too far gone, but
the parents were anxious to do all they
could and kept I him there. Wo could
learn no particulars aB to his deatti nr
burial, other than that tho latter will
take place in tho Valley.
A ppeclal telegram from Washington
says: "If plans decided upon by lie
publican leaders of the senate today are
carried out, formor Representative Ellis,
of Morrow county, Oregon, is certain to
be tho next sergeant-at-arms. The Ore
gonian has tho support of all West coast
members, many votes in the middle
West and enough in the Ea9t it is
thought to Insure his success when the
Kepubhcans meet in congress to re
organize tho practical working force of
the senate. It is generally considered
that the Pacific con6t states should have
this office in the next congress, and as
Orogon presents tho only candidate for
this place from the Pacific coast section,
it is practically conceded that Ellis will
c'ipture the pt'ize."
Whllo not nearly so large a crowd as

Through the zeal displayed by County
Superintendent Gilbert and City Super

city Echools were led to take an enthusi

tributions for the Boys' and Girls' Aid
Society, and 'twas plain to be seen
eyery little boy and girl was made hap
pier by the thought that they had given
something for the relief of the boys and
girls under the charge of this noble in

to pack the contributions and his hande

done ten good-sized boxes and two or

CROSSED THE LAST RIVER.
Captain Orln B. Wnud Dint nt Dawftnn
City on the 10th.
Somehow Tho Dalles has been par
ticularly unfortunate In tho past year or
two in the number of sad and startling
deaths and accidents which liavo oc
curred, No eooner do wo begin to re
cover from one thing than another takeB
place equally an deplorable. And so
Wednesday evening when all were pro
paring to enjoy the Thanksgiving holi
day, about 0 o'clock tho new9 began to
bo told throughout tho city that Mrs.
O. S. Waud had just received a telegram
announcing the death of her husband,
Captain Waud, at Dawson, at 5 o'clock
on the afternoon of tho 10th. Everyone
was shocked, for when the captain left
here in the spring ho was the picture of
hoalth and no one know he had been ill
at all. Indeed, the last letter his wife
received, written on tho 14th of October,
gavo no word of ill health ; and the tele
gram stated the more fact of his dcatji.
The feelings of Mrs. Waud and her
three children may .be imagined, and
comes to one of her nervous temperament
doubly hard. Friends have done every
thing possible in the -endeavor to as
suage her grief, but she ia inconsolable
and though she tries very hard to be
reconciled, it is well nigh impossible.
When his sou returned from Dawson a
few months since, the captain went on
to El Dorado, a new mining section
about forty miles from Dawson, but
must have been at Dawson at the time
of his death.
Orin S. Waud was born on the Waud
Donation Claim, near Portland, March
22, 1854, and spent most of his life in
tho Valley. He was married to Nellie
Murphy at Astoria in Decomber, 1878.
To tehm were born five children, two of
them being laid to rest in Lone Fir
cemetery in Portland, while the other
three Fred, aeed 17, Huzd 13, and
Arthur 10, are with their mother here.
He also leaves three tieters, his two
brothers having drowned, one in the
Columbia and the other at Alaska.
He was a member of tho Elks in this
city, and the Workmen and K. of P. in
Portland, and thus our local lodge of
Elks have a name added to tho list
whose memory they honor Sunday.
Captain Waud was one of the best
known steamboat men in Oregon, and
not alone in Oregon, but on the waters
of other states has be made himself
famous by htB master hand at the helm.
He began eteambjating in the early
'70s and took charge of the Otter in 1877.
At different times he was, master of tho
Westport, Maria Wilkins, Clateop Chief,
Governor Newall, Lincoln, Manz.inillo
and others. In December, 1894 he took
charge of the Regulator and brought his
family to The Dalles. Ho remained in
the employ of the D. P. &A.N. Co.
until April of 189S, when he left for
Alaekau waters, where h run between
Lake Bennett and White HorEe.
He will not only be miesed as none but
such a splendid captain could be, but by
hosts of friends everywhere, whoso life
long friendship he had won by his
happy disposition and kind manner.
As soon as possible Mrs. Waud will
make ariangemeuts to have tho body
brought to Portland. The first steamer
out, however, is that which tails from
Seattle on the Cth.

Thanksgiving Day in The Dalles passed
off so quietly that it seemed a veritable
Sabbath to most of tho reeidents. At
least after 10 o'clock in the morning, for
many of our stores were kept open until
that hour. Feeling that it had done its
duty, and given us sufficient reason to
be thankful, tho tain did not make it
self very prominent until toward even
ing, although it showered u little, The
day wus conspicuous chiefl) fur the
number of family gatherings, which
make it next to ChrletmaB, the happiest
day in the year. In the afternoon many
took in the football game at the (air
ground, while others watched or took
part in the turkey shoot on the beach.
Contrary to what ie usually the
custom, nothing in tho nature of amuse
ments was announced for the evening,
This may have accounted for the espec
ially large audience which attended the
union services at .tlin Methodist church.
However, let us givo our people credit
and conclude that they are beginning to
see Thanksgiving in its true light and
have decided to henceforth make that
service the best of the year. Tho largo
church was taxed to almost its fullest
capacity, barring the gallery audience
room, lecture liall and class room being
filled' with somoof the best people of our
city. r-"""'
Tho pastors of tho Baptist, Christian,
Congregational and Methodist churches
occupied tho pulpit and took part lu the
service, Rev. Hawk acting as master of
ceremonies.
The service opened with a voluntary,
followed by the doxology. Key. W, B.
Clifton offered prayer, after which the
audience joined with, tho choir in thn
hymn, "Come Yo Thankful People,
Come." The EcrlptureleeEons were read
by Rov. D. V. Poling, and a male
quartet, composed of Prof. Landere, W.
C. Allaway, Francis Sexton and Prof.
Lundell, rendered a beautiful selection.
An offering being taken for tho poor of
our city was generously contributed to.
Tho union choir then sang tho anthem
"Blessed is He That, Consldereth tho
Poor." Another hymn, "Oh, Worship
the Kiqg, All Glorious Above" preceded
tho sermon.
Rev. Gentry Rushing, of tho Christian
church, who was chosen to deliver tho
sermon, took hie text from Malachio
ill : 1 2, "And all nations shall call yon
blessed, for yo shall bo n delightsome
land, saith the Lord of hosts." Suiting
tho scriptures to modern times', ho en
larged upon tho blessings for which our
own land should be truly thankful for
tho gospel; for tho plentcouHiiess of the
land; for her churches, societies, echools
and spoke at length on the Christian
mothers of America. Not alone did tho
speaker dwell upon the blessings, but
pointed out many things in which we
are amiss, urging upon tils hearers the
importance of remedying these evils be
fore another Thanksgiving rolls around,
and praying that the same day in 1009
would find many of them wiped out.
Mr. Rushing ie possessed of a cood de
livery, speaking so that not one in the
large audience missed a thought.
At the eloeo everyone sang "America"
with more vim than we have heard it
puiik in The Dalles for some lime. Rev.
Poling closed the service with prayer.
