Sheriff Gray, of Crook county, arrived
in the city last night, accompanied by

The Oregon King mine, in the Trout
Creek district, is liable to prove a verit
able bonanza for its ownere. The latest
assays show great quantities of gold and
copper. The uie is said to resemble that
of the famous Anaconda mines, and is
reported to be very rich in peacock
copper. Moro Leader.
A letter received by Mies Hill from
friends in Eugene, informs her that the
Glee Club expect to reach The Dalles on
the 7:Ud train ihursuay evening; so
that it has been neceseary for the alumni
tomake arrangements for the reception
following the concert. Nothing definite
has been decided as to'the place for hold

Following Sunday as Christmas does
this year, makes the question of pack
ages sent and received through tho mail
a complicated one, and many will be
compelled to wait until Tuesday for
giits from abroad. Postmaster Rtddcll,
bowover, informs us that tho general
delivery and register window will bo
open from 10 to 11 o'clock on that day,
so that at least a portion of tho people
may be waited upon.
Among the visitors to our table this
morning we found aucw acquaintance
from the eastern state line, called the
Enterprise Bulletin and published at
Enterprise, Wallowa county. Tho first
number certainly has an enterprising
appearance, and wo trust will, unlike
the general run of newspapers mako of
its publisher a bloated millionaire. W.
L. Herzinger the proprietorand publish
er, ia a brother of W. F., who was in the
railroad wreck in which Hunter and
and Miler lost their lives, and who camo
near losing his own.
We have always asserted The Dalles
is the ."slickest" place in Oregon, and
surely the statement has been verified
today, as all who ventured out this
morning will testify. If the wicked are
tho only ones who stand in slippery
places, then must this bo an ungodly
town, for all found it almost an im
possibility to stand up on their "pins"
during the morning at least. This state
of affairs was caused by the unexpected
rain storm of last night, when about 10
o'clock the heavens seemed tolo bathed
in tears, which fell copiously and no
eooner fell than froze. Could wo have a
good snow Etorni now the sleighing
would bo splendid.
Portland's leading society people and
also those of other cities which the un!
versity glee club will visit, are doing n1
in their power to make the visit of the
boys a successful one, not only socially,
but financially as well. Tho Dalles will
not be behind in this regard, for we in
tend to give them a great send off. From
Ned Baldwin, who arrived home last
night, we learn of the excellence of their
entertainments, and from the reports
given by him we feel positive it is one
which even Dalles people (who demand
the best) will greatly appreciate. It has
been decided to put the admission fee at
50 cents, although in other Eastern
Oregon towns the prices will be 50 cents,
75 and $1. Blakeley & Houghton now
have the tickets on sale.
It would seem to those who are but
casual observers and have not taken
any particular interest in charitable
work, that The Dalles is an exceptional
ly prosperous city, with but a few with
in its midst who are in need or unable
to spend Christmas in a happy manner.
Ana yet we are lntormea uy tne cap
tain of tho Salvation Army, which has
made a thorough canvass of the city,
that they have found at least twenty
five families in this place, beside a large
number of individuals, who aro in need
of assistance, They have endeavored
to search out thoee deserving families
who are endeavoiing to make their way
through life without asking charity,
but who aro in fact tho most needy, and
to whom any gifts will come as a bless
ing and make Christmas such a day as
all should find it.
Il is said that when the call comes for
anotherCanadian contingent250 British
born residents of Spokane are ready to
enlist against the Boers in South Afri
ci. a victoria resident, who is in
touch with military matters, says
"The Second Canadian contingent will
consist of from 8000 to 9000 men and of
this number British Columbia will prob
ably furnish 1000. At least 500 are al
ready ready to enlist from Vancouver
and Victoria and are only walling for
the final orders from the department as
to the numbers to be allowed to enter
Of course the enlistment of Canadian
troops for South African service is pure
ly voluntary No demand has been made
upon Canada for troops but the Canadl
an men aro eager for an opportunity to
go and it is probable as many again as
are needed will volunteer. As to the
ultimate result of the war there can be
no doubt. Great Britian can not afford
to withdraw now and as the greater
force she can finally accomplish her
end."
Of the multitudinous variety of ho) I

meet with more popular favor, than a

DRINK CAU8ED HI8 DEATH.
The
llody Fnunil Near Celllo Wat That
of Jonathan Jackton.
Many of those who called aJWho un
dertaker's yesterday to viewthe remains
of tho marKfound deacf near Celilo
thought tho face loolseu familiar, and
ono or two suggeetedfhat they believed
it was tho body Vf a farmet who fre
quented tho cjty but not until J. H.
Jackson cntneMn wasvit identified as that
of Jonathan Jackson, sheep raUer who
lived near Deschutes.
Tho witnesses at the inquest then
brought forth tho facts moro particular
ly. Although an honest, industrious
man, Jackson was known to bo addicted
to drink, and ono whom liquor fairly
demented. Often would ho como into
town and remain for days in n condition
tjrderiugo. insanity caused by a pro
tracted spree. Ho was an Englishman
by birth, and had been in this country
about fifteen years, living for the past
twelvo years about six miles south of
Sherar's bridge, on tho other Bide of
Deschutes. Ho had accumulated quite
a competency in tho sheep business anu
at one time was a partner of D. P.
Ketchum, also later of "Shorty" Davis.
It is thought, howover, that his earnings
have all be n squandered.
Last spring Jackson sold his sheep iarj"erlsi' nuoon
about $5000, and it is said at tho saruo
time disposed ot ills land. Aoout two
weeks ago he passed through tho city on
his way to Portland, where it is thought
he must have drank very heavily and
squandered his money, as was his wont
when drinking. No one in Tho Dalles
seems to have heard of his whereabouts
since that timo until his body was
brought hero yesterday.
T. A. Ward testified yesterday that
often when on a spree lie would come
into the stable and in his dementia!'
nentia
ucuia-
imagine lie was at the hotel and start
prepare for bed or have llko hall
tions. It was therefore concluded
tilOtn
ho must have been returning from Port
land, and when he reached Celilo
imagined it was his destination and got
off, then as if preparing for bed took off
a portion of his clothing and lay down
in the position the body was found ae
described yesterday, and there wae
frozen.
Tho inquest developed nothing which
would indicate foul play, and the story
of tho Indians who found him was
straight forward, George Cozel describ
ing just how it was found and of the in
formation at once being given to Mr.
Taffe.
Jackson had no relatives in this coun
try, but two of his sisters aro nuns in a
convent in England. Ho uleo has a
sister living in tho old country, whom
ho was supporting. As is usually the
case, he was a man of good nature, gen
ernus and honest, but drink thoroughly
transformed him and finally caused hi
death. The verdict of tho jury was
follows :
In the matter of the inquest held over
tho body of Jonathan Jackson,
We, the jury impanelled by W. II.
Butte, coroner of Wasco county, state of
.Oregon, to inquiro into the cause of
Hie deatli of the body now before
uj, after duo and careful considera
tion and deliberation, and from tho
evidence presented in the case find tho
following facts :
That the name of tho deceased is
Jonathan Jackson, whose age is about
forty years; that his residence is on tho
Deschutes river, six miles south of
Sherar's Bridge, in Waeco county, Ore
gon, and that ho camo to his death on
or about the 14th day of December, 1890,
so fur as we are able to ascertain from
the evidence, about nine miles east of
Dalles City, and about 400 feet north of
tho O. It. & N. Co's railroad track, while
suffering from a temporary aberration
of his mind. The exact nature and
cause of his death is to this jury un
known, but this jury from a careful
examination of his body cannot find any
evidence of,any foul play, or evidence of
injury to the body of the deceased.
Dated at Dalles City, Oregon, this 20th
d3y of December, 1899.

An Old Hal) Program.
Looking over an old book a few days
since Chae. Craig came across an old ball
program which waBused at a party given
at the Umatilla House thirty-four years
ago next Wednesday evening, and while
there may be a fow in The Dalles at pre
sent who attended, so varied have been
the changes since that time that 'tis not
likely there are many who would re
member having taken part in the fes
tivities of the occasion.
Not a name among the reception com
mittee nor door managers seems to sound
familiar nowadays. Among them are
Jonas Brown, A. Bendict, A. Scbeeline,
A. P. Turner, Claude Goodrich, Chris.
Hlgby and Frank Britten.
The style of program la a small card
with committees and instructions on ouo
side and list of dances on the other.
Among the suggestions la one which
it would not be amiss to observe at the
more modern dances: that which says
Ladies will please not 'engage ahead' "
I I
for more than one dance In any instance.
Another is cautioning ladies and gentle
men not to take their places on the floor
until the signal is gjven for each dance-
While a program of moro that twelvo
dancos is considered a long one now,
twenty-three numbers woro danced that
night, and in those days tho dances were
moro varied, and among them wo find,
beside those which aro yet used, the
mazeppa, varsouvienno, gallopado, ma
zeppa, Irish jig and Spanish danco.
Supper was alco included in the pro
gram, and we aro led to bollove that
dancers in theso days liayo improved in
regard to tho hours they keep, for suroly
those who attonded that night reached
homo during tho morning hours.
