A splendid musical program ie be'ng piepared and they will have on hand many useful and pretty articles for Christmas. As a result of the ball given on Thanksgiving eve, Jackson Engine Co. turned over to the board of (ire delegates $52.85, which is to be added to the chemical engine and tire alarm system land. On Friday evening of this week tho ladies of the Christian church will givo a carpet rag social. Each lady is ex pected to bring a ball of carpet rags with her name attached thereto ; also a box of lunch. An entirely new board of directors was elected at the club last night, The for mer board has filled its place most sat isfactorily and now will have a rest. In one or two cases members have served since the club began. Oh if tho crosswalks would only "bob up Boronely from below," but they evidently don't want to ho "stepped on." It.'a really a conundrum to decipher whore they actually belong, and when that is done, to strike bottom is next to impossible. Tho Regulator will begin her old run tomorrow, reaching here Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays and laying over Suuday hero. The Dalles City wont down this morning and transfer will be made at the locks today, thus bringing tho Regulator up tomorrow. Tho Baker City Democrat sarcastical ly remarks: "Wo presume that Mr. Roberts, of Utah, will feol a little timid at first when be comes into contact with the bady of 'highly moral public men known as congressmen." Be that as it may, we do not believe ho would even dodge were someone to give the order. "Let him that is without fault cast tlie lirst stone." It was unfortunate for the members of the club that so few were present to en joy tho music laBt night, for tho selec tions wont particularly pleasing. The fact that in one or two cases the music was absolutely now to tho musicians, but proves how proficient they are be coming. This morning Judge Bradshaw re ceived a letter from his wife's brother, Dr. Harry Llttlefleld, saying that lie had returned to Portland from Manila Monday. Ho left witli the Oregon vol unteers and when they returned joined the regular service, being assistant sur geon in the U, S. army. Ho lias a num ber of friends here who will be pleased to learn that ho has returned. refreshments and jolly convor- An extra way freight, which left here this morning got into trouble at Summit, about ten miles east of here. As usual, virtually no details could be obtained, other than that in making what is termed a "fly" or "drop", tho engine ran into some cars and smashed the hesds of about eleven of them. Con ductor Chas. Hansen was slightly in jured, receiving a cut in the back of the head, About a dozen of what might be termed "jolly neighbors" spent last evening very pleaeaiitly with Mr. and Mre. N. Harris, siue time was passed in playing whistand a great deal of amueoment was caused by a game called illustrated proverbs, which tested the artistic ability of the participants. The remainder of the evening was spent with OUR SPLENDID CLUB. music satiou. J-Bands of fine looking hogs are daily brought into the city and received by C. M. Grimes to be shipped to Trout dale. Today a carload was brought in from Kingsiey, Wamie and various places, aud Friday two carloads will be shipped. They are now bringing xi cents live weight, and with the low prico being paid for wheat it is found a paying investment to use it for feed. Witli the abuudance of wheat now raised aud tho uncertainty of prices, it is Btrange more of our farmers do not take to raising hogi for market, When two first-class weekly papers can flourish so parceptably in a compar atively new town, and auother semi weekly is projected by a man with the business foreeight of C. S. Jackson, of Pendleton, it augurs well for the busi ness statue oi tho place. Such is the situation at Sumpter, and the Blue Mountain American come out this week 1 with the following notice: "With this issue the American is enlarged to six teen pages. The enlargement has been made necessary on account of the rapid Increase in advertising. This is ttie second time this paper has been en larged during the past eight weeks. We can now accommodate all advertisers for at lean another fortnight." Are ltd rrlvllecu Fully Appreciated? Wc Think Not. For a club which numbers over 120 members, the representation at tlie business meeting of the D. C. & A. C. last evening was not large; but there was a fair attendance, particularly of those who hold the interest of tho club at heart. The occaiion was the annual meeting to elect tlie board of directors and discuss the welfare of the institu tion. As a result of the election L. E. Crowe, A. S. Bennett, H. W. French, F. Menefee, M. T. Nolan, C. L. Phillips and F. A. Seufert are directors for the ensuing year and are empowered to choose their officers at a subsequent meeting. Tho report of Treasurer Wilson showed the finances of the club to be in splendid condition, probably the beet of any eimilar club in the stat While not absolutely free from debt, their liabilU ties are small, and every member, whether he frequents tho club or not, keeps his dues up in a surprising man ner. While this is true, we do not believe, from observation, that tlie club is ap preciated as it should be. It Is human mature to desire the unattainable, and consequently before such an organiza tion was instituted there, was a continual complaint among the young men of a lack of any place in which to spend leisure hours. Now ttial that want lias been filled, and admirably too; now that there is a reHort provided, with every comfort imaginable; with the best of reading matter, with billiard and pool tables, card rooms, bowling alleys and gymnasium in fact everything necee sary to a club carried on in a respectable manner, is it appreciated as it should be? Is it not the minority of membere who avail themselves of its privileges? It was one of the best moves ever made in Tho Dalles when the club was insti tuted, and obliterated any foundation for complaint as to the absence of a re spectable place in which to pass the hoars when every-day duties are laid aside. The same criticism is also applicable to the ladies. While we do not' ad vocate woman's clubs or believe it ad visable for her to spend much of her time at euch places, yet tlie ladies of The Dalles have been specially favored by the club here. In no other city do they receive such consideration along that lne as here, where they are given the privelege of the club rooms several times during the week. For a time this opportunity was eagerly accepted; but for the paet year interest seems to have lagged and the) have not shown the ap preciation which is duo its members. Thursday afternoon has been set apart for their benefit aud yot often not a siegle lady is found there, while in previous years it was difficult to get a chance to bowl or a place at the billiard table. Every two weeks its members are privileged to listen to the very best music by tho baud, and instead of mak ing this the occasion of a promt nado concert as it might well be, for the hist two evenings very few have been present to enjoy the splendid selections given. Wherein Hcr the difficulty? Are we so easily satiated, or so fickle that some new amusement must be furnished eacli week? The members and their lady friends should realize more fully the benefits of tho club, make It a place of sociability and Improve the opportun ities it affords. As far as the commetclal sldo ot the club Is concerned it is true that tliero Is room for improvement, and questions and 1 rojects for tlie benefit of tho city are pending which should be taken up and pushed through by tho commercial club. But in the above article wc de sired but to treat tlie question from a social point of view. A Most KntprtnlnliiR Lecture. It is not a surprise to thoso who wero fortunate enough to litteu to Chaplain Gilbert at tlie Metlioiist church last night that the boys of tho Second Oregon, and other regiments as well, held their chaplain In such high regard, for, regard less of his brave, noble deedp, there is a charm in tin manner demanding at once attention nnd respect. The simple, and at tho same time eloquent anil at tractive manner in which ho told the story of the campaign in tho Philippines took the audience ut once, for he lias the happy faculty ol blending the pa thetic, the ludicrous and every phase of the campaign in such a way as not to dwell too long on any question', and leaving out nothing that would interest his audience; evtn the minor details of the lives of the Filipinos and the little incidents in camp life were deecribed in a most entertaining manner. In opening his address he said that the Filipino question was far from set tled ; that it was just beginning on tho return of the Oregon boys, nnd in view of tlie questions regarding it which now confront the people it was a great temptation to speak on Ihe political side of the question, and although lefraining from it, he did incidentally remurk that wnile free silver would wotk, you had to have tho Filipinos to work it. Tho crowning honor of this nation is that she dared declare against oppression. May she never Btaop so low as to con sider tlie financial side of the question, nor conquest for gain. We would not atteuipt to give even an idea of the train of his thought throughout. Suffice to say he epoko in the highest terms of tho Second Oregon Volunteers and though he studied to avoid personal mention, all understood the noble place be filled and the work ho did. "Tlie Second Oregon," he said, "was the regiment of honor," and ho could not say enough in praise of his comrades. Everyone present was delighted with the lecture and expressed a regret that any of their friends missed it. A quartet sang an opening selection, which was very appropriate, and nt tho close nearly all availed themselves of the opportunity to shake hands with Chaplain Gilbert. Tho Modern Mulliur Has found that her littlo oues are im proved more by the pleasant Syrup of Figs, when in need of the laxative effect of a gentlo remedy, than by any other. Children enjoy it and it benefits them. The true remedy, Syrup of Figs, is man ufactured by tlie California Fig Syrup Co. onlv. Miss Annio E.
