Recorder Gates has concluded that
moral suasion don't go when It coiiich to
dealing with a drunken man, for when
he arrived ut liendquarters this moining
ho was greeted by Hobort Harvry,
whom lie had persuaded to turn over a
new leaf now year.s day, and lo and be
hold the pago uns badly soiled, lie
was therefore lined :j5 and is now serv
ing out his time. Thus. Moran, another
old offender, came up on tho same
charge and is also woikiug out his liu.
Lust evening Mies Irene. Unuihait
entertained a number of her fnenla at
tho resideneu of Mr. and Mrs1. Nicholas.
After games, music, etc., th guests
were invited to partake of y delicious
lunch. At a late hour th following
guests departed, wishing lies Irene
many happy returns of thday : Misses
Ila Fowler, J'jucile OrattKannie Itoot.N
Lulu Ulakoney, LillUf Kelly, Ifeno
Urquhart and liobe Stewart, Pete

Juat to show thht they aro as swift as
any of the "speedy" horses in the city,
the animals that couvey the swill "cab"
about the city, got on a tear this morn
ing and went flying down the alley back
of the court house in a manner which
would have done credit to any of David
Haruiu's thoroughbreds. For a short
time it was rather "sloppy" in that di
rection, but they eoon determined a
muddy alloy wasn't fust the place in
which to make the beat time and slowed
up and attended to their business of
collecting.
It would seem from an occurrence in
the city last night that an American
citizen has not a right to express his
opinion in regard to the war uow being
waged In South Africa. At the news,
that the British had won a victory, an
old gentleman ventured to hurrah for
England, when a burly blacksmith, of
an age to be Ii la grandson, raised his flat
and knocked him down. Without dli
cueeing the merits of either aide we
would juet say that Euch a coward !b of
more value to any country when out of
it. A fellow who would Etr:ke an old
man on such slight provocation is a dis
grace to his country.
The Dalles would certainly be all
right if every line of business showed
such substantial increase as has that of
the postoffice during the last quarter,
beginning in October and ending with
December, when the largest amount of
businese, during any quarter in its his
tory, was transacted. The receipts
amounted to $2,752.17, as against $2,
490.97 for the corresponding quarter in
1898, and $2,o9-l 11 in '97. Money ordere
issued were as follows : For October,
1(5.131.93; November, $5,348 05, and
December, $5,571.22, amounting to $10,
051.80. Paid out orders: In Oct.
$5,247.71; in Nov., $5,307.73 ; in Dec,
$5,5S9 05. Total $10,204.49.
In the football game at Portland Mon
day between the Multnomah and Stan
ford teams Oregon won with a Ecoro of
1 1 to 0. Among tho prominent members
of the Stanford team was a Dalles boy,
Italph Fisher. 101. Hosteller, who at
tended the game, says ttalph put up the
best game on the field, and of him the
Oregonian sayG: "Stanford did not
win, but it has scored up to its credit a
feat that no other team in the North
west, nor wen on tho coast, including
tho heayy Olympics, has been ablu to
accomplish this year, that of crossing
Multnomah's goal line. On tin Oregon
boy, thouuh, Mill reels that honor, for
Fisher, of The Dalles, did tho trick."
At St. Vincent's hospital in Portland
yesterday afternoon Dr. McKenziu per
formed an operation on Mr. MacAdam,
and dieeovored, as it was feared, that an
abcss had forinVl on yfho brain, a
quantity of puss berufound. Whilo
his case is more seKHurUiau was at llrst
anticipated bytno hospital surgeon,
word received loday by Mr. Poaso is to
the ell'ect that ho recovored from the
operation in a satisfactory manner and
tsted well last night. Mr. MacAdam
has made many friends during his resi
dence here who show a deep interest in
hie welfare. A later telephone message,
just as we go to preea, eaye he is getting
along nicely and his doctor feels much
eucou raged.
What's the matter with The Dalles?
Has she decided to shut off on good
plays, or aro we juat taking a vacation
after having hud a taste of such plays aa
"My Friend From India," "A Breezy
Time," ond others? Several first cIbbs
troopa have visited Portland and paeeed
through our city on their way to Pendle
ton and other Eastern Oregon towns,
which no doubt could have been secured
for a night's engagement here. Looking
over the Salem Statesman we find that
Frederick Wardo will loon be in that
city, and that an agitation is on foot to
secure Mine Nevada on her visit West.
If Salem, with her poor facilities in the
way of an opera house, can secure audi
celebrities, surely The Dalles can do
likewise. Our citizens would much pre
fer to pay $2 and even more for tho
privilege of hearing Nevada than a
dozen shows of light weight. Let's
wake up and hear something good.
