Wasco county is welcome to "tend

who lately did a lively business in
Portland, If the authorities there will
do the job up properly, as presum

BUSINESS MENS' CARNIVAL.

Portland Detectives I'luylng Even.
Monday a man by the name of J. W.
Co!lin9 was arrested at Portland bv de
tectives for passing a bogus check on a
storekeeper at Rainier. He was then
proven to be the same fellow who passed
like checks in Salem and Portland.
It now appears that Wasco county
ofliola's were first to apprehend this
fellow. On or about the 25th of Novem
ber Collins passed n bogus check for
!f23,50 on Augutt Uuchlei's bar-tender
here. The matter wue pieced in Sheriff
Kelly's hands, who immediately saw
that tho blank was taken fioin the check
hook of C. T. Dunney, of Hood Hiver.
Calling up Deputy dinger, of that place,
and giving him a full decenption of tho
man, he informed him that from tho
clue obtained he ought to locate the
man nt once. After careful investigation
ho informed the theriff that on that
certain date about nightfall a man
eutered the Btore of Mr. Bonney, while
another man waited outside. He pro
cured two blanks from tho cleik.
Further investigation resulted in the
deputy sheriff informing Mr. Kelly thut
he felt positive he had located his man
in a lodging cimp on the Washington
side of the river and his name was J. W.
Collins. As there was no ceitainty as
to his identity, and not desiring to put
the county to unnecessary expense in
transporting him, the sheriff did not
order his arrest, but charged dinger to
arrest him as soon as he put foot on
Oregon soil and bring him to The
Dalles.
It now appears that tho Multnomah
officials are evening up on the Brown
and Wilson caeo and captured our
prisoner there.

Seventy-five young ladies, attired in
all sorts of costumes, ' from the most
beautiful to the most iiiqui imaginable,
representing almost as many Dalles
business houses, filed down fioin tho
stage at tho Vogt'lasi night ai the Birn
ield orchestia played one of ils inspiring
marches. The effect was very taking as
they marched down the aisles, and if
ever the business houses were brought
before the public in a novel maimer, it
was on this occasion.
At the close of the march the curtain
rose on a pretty Fcenc, with Miss Ilm-h
seated ou a throne;' as queen of the
carnival, and attired in an elaborate
costume. She presided with n becoming
dignity. Little Lslw Kel'say made a
cute little page and gave her address in
a distinct rwirmer, whicli at once pleased
the audierice. At a command from
Lizzie McArthur, who represented 'tho
electtic light company, tho was flooded
in light, which illuminated the entiie
stage.
Two by two tho characters made their
appearance and in well chosen recita
tions or tongs advertised the linn whicli
they represented. Though in tome In
tthiices the effect would have been more
pleasing had they spoken in clearer
tones, tho entire program was splendid
and is deserving of a more extended
mention than c in well be given in the
columns of a paper whoso space is
limited. Were we lo mention eacli
character separately and dilate on tho
excellent manner of representation, tho
over-ahundanco of newsf?) which The
Dalles furnishes these days would suffer
thereby, and therefore aro wo compelled
to refrain from even mentioning the
names of the three children to whom we
are Indebted for a epleudid representa
tion. Suffice to say the entertainment,
which required much ingenuity and
hard work to fltaga, was a great success
and reflects much credit on tiiose who
managed it.
The performance closed with soveral
tableaux, representing the physicians,
dentists and lawyers of the city.
The orchestra added much to tho
general success of the evening, prevent
ing any noticeable delays which neces
sarily must occur in such an entertain
ment; while tiie splendid accompani
ments of Mrs. E. J. Collins assisted in a
great measure the singers.
