"knocked him off the Christmas tree"

he put up for bis appearance today ; but
the recorder still holds it, Moran falling
to show up.

pointed that many of their friends failed

Vfhat Wasco county needs is a Rood
road system. No county can advance

the people take the matter in hand and

business generally will go hand in hand
with it. Antelope Herald.

As is its wont on holidays, whenever
it is at all possible, tho O. It. & N. Co.
managed to reduce their freight trains
yesterday and allowed a number of their
employes to enjoy Christmas dinner at
home. A railroad man's life is a hard
one when it comes to a respito from
duty, and to say that a chance to eat
Christmasdlnner at home and enjoy
one or two dayp out of tho year In tho
bosom of his family is appreciated, does
not express it.
Attorney Phelps and his charming
bride came in on Friday night's train,
gladdening the hearts of their many

tho cottugo recently vacated by Herb
Bartholomew and family, which he has
ni.nni.n.1 nnd furnished to suit their
aesthetic fancy. Cosily settled they
will add much to the enjoyment of
Heppner society, of which they enjoyed

Messrs. Winters and Chapman, will pay

Btrflge request to be heard he da, be
fore Christmas, aud we doubt if It was
Preceding as it did tho Sabbath day
this year, it was somewhat difficult to
determine just which was Christmas
day; while every indication of the
weather reminded one of spring. Yes
terday was beautiful, but not such a day
as one would wish for Christmas.
The celebration began Saturday even
ing with exercises and a tree at the
Christian church. Sundav afternoon
and evening many families had their
homo gatherings and trees for tho little
ones, and in the various churches
throughout tho day carols and Christmas
anthems were suug and the ministers
spoke on tho themo uppermost in the
minds of all. In tho eveninir at tho
Methodist church tho Sunday school
pupils gave a very pleasing concert and
the choir rendered several nrettv
selections.
Not for many years has such a large
congregation attended mass at the
Catholic church as was present Sundav
night, and not for as many years have
Dalles people listened to moro beautiful
music than was rendered on that occa
sion. Aseisted by Birgfeld's orchestra,
the choir sang during the greater part of
the service, and each voice seemed to b
at its best. Father Bronegeest also gave
a very interesting sermon. Tho mass
was unusually long, lasting until 1 :40
o'clock, but none grew weary, tho music
holding them spell bound.
Last night Christmas trees and exer
cises Jwere general in tho churches,
and some of them were very attractive.
Each chutch was well filled. At the
Baptist church two large trees and a
chimney were beautifully decorated and
Santa Claus arrived just in time to see
that each little one nnd some larger onea
received gifts. Tho pupils of tho Lu
tlieran Sunday school also enjoyed the
evening exercises, which closed with
distribution of presents from a very
not to get in until everything was ready.
She however took the front sent with
the babe In her arms. One driver stood
holding the bits, while the other was ad
justing some packages. At that moment
a tiatn passed by and, contrary to their
usual course, the horses became fright
ened, wheeled to the right and jerking
away from tho driver, started alongside
the track. At tho bridge they struck
tho train slightly and also tho bridge
guard and tho stage was thrown to one
side breaking tho wheels off,
When tho crash came Mrs. Grater
was thrown backward, striking her back
on tho back seat, and tho child was
thrown from her arms, lighting between
the wheel and tho wagon bed. It whs
with difficulty tho little one was extri
cated, and no ono expected it could survive.
They were carried into the hotel and
Dr. Geisendorffer summoned, who found J
that Mrs. Grater's bnck was badly
sprained and her forehead cut slightly.
The babe's back was also sprained and
its hip thrown out of joint. Tho doctor
informs us that he leels positive there
are no fatal injuries particularly to the
mother, although the babe's injuries
may be more severe than at present
seems likely.
Mr. J. Sheer, Sedalia, Mo., saved his

Yesterday the startling report gained
credenco here that Moro was quaran
tined with twenty-four caEea of Bniall-
pox, and all day today like rumors have
been current and it is true that phy
-srclans have been 'phoning for. vaccine
virus and Sherman county ie much ex
ercised. In order to get at the truth of
the matter the Chronicle reporter tele
phoned to Moro this afternoon, trusting
to the truthfulness of our Informant,
who eald: "Wo have not half of
twenty-five caees; theio are but half a
dozen in fact, and it is not thought to be
smallpox at any rate, but the same dis
ease that has been going the rounds of
Heppner nnd other places. None ore
very sick, no deaths have occurred. The
town is not quarantined, simply the
houses wherein are cases of tho disease."
Wo tell the tale as 'twas told to us; but
at the same time would add : Is it not
time for The Dalles to become somewhat
interested? Just enough to try tho vac
cine preventative.
Ono of the happiest Christmas gather
ings in The Dalles was that which took
place at tho home of Mr and Mrs. I. N.
Sargent yesterday. Asthey sat down to
a bounteous spread there were present,
beside tho happy old couple: Mr. aud
.Mrs. Chas. Sargcn, of Portland, Mr.
and Mrs. Hunsaker and Miss Kathryn
Sargent, of The Dalles, Fred Sargent, of
5-Mile, Mrs. Hattie Wilson, of Endersby,
their grandchild, E. H. Sargent, and
Miss ltachel Morgan ; one son who re
sides in Baker City being absent. In
the evenine the time was passed with
games and music, Miss Morgan presid
ing at the piano. Amoug tho presents
ved bv them was a palm tree for
Mrs. Sargent, the gift of Charles and bis
wife, and presented with the following
remarks: "In presenting to you this
palm our united wishes are that your
future life may be as the climate from
which It came all sunshine; and ns you
watch its growth from year to year that
we may live in your memory as green as
tho plant wo present."
Tho Modern Mollier
Has found that her little ones are im

Figs, when in need of the laxative effect
of a gentle remedy, than by any other.
Children enjoy it and it benefits them.
The truo remedy, Syrup of Figs, Is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co, only.
At me same nour Jike exercises were
held at the Episcopal, Congregational
and Methodist churches, tho two former
opening with programs by the children,
which were especially good. Great pains
had been taken in arranging the trees,
making them attractive and pleasing to
the children.
Christmas night closed with many re
unions and happy times, which will
cause the day to linger long in the
memory of both old and young.

So quietly did J. C. Baldwin pass
away at his homo Saturday night about
11 o'clock, that even those who watched
by him were not aware ho had ceased
breathing. He seemed to gradually
vpaken until lifo was extinct. Mr.
Baldwin had not been a strprig man for
many years, and about 'ten days ago he
was taken ill of neuralgiaVWhieh seemed
to go to tho brain and fitiallytook him
off.
During his activo life Mr. Baldwin
was a very prosperous business man
and carried on extensive interests In
Idaho, California and Oregon, gaining
for himself a competency which made
him vell nigh independent, but reversee
came and with them cares which under
mined his health and broke it down. At
hie side, however, has been a perfect
companion and faithful wife, who has
ever been a helpmato and who mourns
her loss with that fortitudo which is
borne of a strong character and beautiful
womanhood.
Julius C. Baldwin, who was CO years
of age last May, was bom in Wnyland,
Mass., and during his early inauhood
came to Idaho and engaged ill business,
returning to his native home in
June, 1874, and claiming as his bride
Ellen Damon. In 1851 he went to Cali
fornia, remaining thereuntil 1857, when
ho came to Oregon, settling in The
Dalles and engaging in a mercantile
business with his brother Frank. With
but a slight interval, he has since made
his home here, where his family now re
side. To Mr. and Mr. Baldwin were
born five children Frank, Edward,
Martha, Lilly and Wallace, two only eur
viving him, Edward and Martha.
The funeral took place at the family
residence on the hill this afternoon at
2 o'clock, IUv. 1). V. Poling officiating.

New Equipment.
The O. R. & N. Co. and tho Oregon
Short lino have closed a contract for

sisting of first-class coaches, chair cars,
dining-cars, baggage and mail cars, to
be used in equipping additional trains
to give double service in tho coming
spring, between Portland and Granger,
so as to enable two through trains to
bo run daily between Portland and Chi-
c.igo, via the Union Pacific. This will

so much nttention. The equipment
purchased comprises everything neces
sary for the new trains, except library

pany is already provided. When the
