When the repott waB circulated that smallpox had broken oat near Tygh, Mr. and Mrs. Chos. Driver had no idea that they had anVrufrtlcular interest in the report; but irNgtter received last night informed yfem UhU their daughter, Mamie, who if now MreVJas. Kennedy and lives near Wamic, is tie unfortu nate victim, having taken ill a week ago. The case, however, is not a serious one, she being confined to her bed only a portion of the time. The disease is supposed to havo been brought from Sherman county by Frank Watkins, who having been afllicted witii it, camo over to Wamic. Still another caso ib that of a young man by tho name of Miller. The school at Wamic haB been closed, the teacher coming in from there yesterday and leaving this morning for tho valley. lluslnees still booms at polico head quarters, Nightwatchman I'hirman hav ing harvested a crop of drunks last night. Joo Steiling, who was not as sterling in charactei as name, was lined sfii thiB morning for vagrancy, and sent to jail. G. F. Snyder, for drunkenness, waa compelled to pay if'J fine; Geo. rowers' spree cost him .f5 iu fines, which he is paying by shoveling mud ; while Sam Severeon, who whs discharged yesterday, liked tho place and camo staggeilng back last night to work out his $5 today. Last, and least, Marshal Hughes nablod a little fellow this noon who, though small In stature, was large enough and drunk enough (o break a pane of glass iu Wfiggenman'a shoo shop, Two of the fellows arrested by I'hirman attempted a hold-up at Skibbe's bar last night. One of the workmen from the portage road was treating and dis playing his wealth, when tho two drunken fellows got hold of him, one holding him up, while the other started to go through his packets. I'hir man was near by and stopped their little scheme by arresting them. A telephone message from Antelope late last night conveyed the sturtlinir news to Win. Qllmore, of Grand Dalles, that his daughter, Maggie, had been seriously burned and was very ill In consequence. Miss Gilmore, who is a young lady of about 17 years, has len stopping with her aunt, Mrs, Wilbur Uolton, and attending school. Last night while seated at tho table, by some means the lamp was turned over into her lap uud exploded, catching her clothing and causing her to be burned from the waist to the ankles. No par ticulars as to the manner in which the flames were extinguished was given, but the physician in conversing with Simeon Bolton over the 'phone said that the hands aud ankle were very badly burned ; the extent of her injuries, how ever, cannot bo determined as yet. Mrs. Bolton ia absent in Portland, but the unfortunate girl will have the best of care, n trained nurEC having been sent for, who will arrive here tonight and leavo for Antelope in the morning. Her father, W. D. Gilmore, left the city at noon to watch at her bedside. Mrs. II. L. Kuck was at home yester day afternoon to fifty of her lady friends whom she invited to meet her aunt, Mrs. W. W. Peirce, of Polo, 111 , and who BDent the hours in a very happy manner. No prettier decoration can be found than that which includes an abundance of smilax, and from the cor ners of the parlors to the center chande liers were testoons of that graceful vine, while plants were placed in every avail able space throughout the rooms and in tho hall evergreens predominated. Each lady wore a boiitonuiere which was fur nished her by the hostess as she entered. The greater part of tho afternoon was spent at a guessing game, which tested tiie knowledge of the guests concerning tho great men of the United States. Mrs. J. Ii. Condon was fortunate in guessing the largest number and captur ing tiie first prlzi, while Mrs. Marden took tho second. Tho refreshments, served in a manner calculated to make them more tempting, were very elabo rate and thoroughly enjoyed. It was a great pleasure to the ladies to meet so charming a lady as Mrs. Peirca proved herself to be, and all were grateful to Mrs. Kuck for tho opportunity afi'ordtd and also for the pleasant afternoon. One of tho happiest families in Tho Dalles today is that of Mr. and Mrs. D. J. Cooper, who for tho flret time iu tljeir history meet today iu a reunion, fourteen of the fifteen children which havo been born to Mr. and Mrs. Cooper during the forty years of married life being present; Lynn, who would have'been 12 years old nt this time, having been accidentally killed in '03. Although not being the anniversary of any particular event, It seemed to be the most propitious timo for a reunion, when all could meet to gether. Few families are found of bo large a number ns I hie, aud having suf fered the los6 of hut one of the fold. Another great satisfaction to the parents is that it cannot jjo said that among the many offspring with which they have been blessed one is found who might be formed n prodigal child, nor on whom they cannot look with a degree of pride. Mr. and Mrs, Cooper are a young looking couple to haveabout them such a family, aud many a woman of younger years might envy tiie mother her happy con tented appearance as she discharges the duties enjoined upon her, At the tablo tliis ufternpon in their home on Tenth street were jeeated beside the parents, tho following children : Dr. Helle (wife of Dr, Rlnehart deceased;, Charles, Mary (Mrs. Jumps Thompson), Nathaniel, Nan, Prudence (Mrs, Fred Dayley),Cyru, Ruth, Daniel, Virginia, John, James, Kenneth and Mildred, Reside these were nine grandchildren aud Mrs, Chas. Cooper and Frsd Uayley. Flnancm at tho CnnKreRntinnnl church In a Sntlfctory Condition. Tho members of tho Congregational church and also of tho congregation en joyed ono of tho most plrfksant gather ings in tho history of tiie church last evening, duo in a groat measure to the feeling of good will and fellowship which prevailed, enhanced by Abe satisfaction which arose when the treasurer, B. S. Huntington, read his' yearly report u liicli assured them that tho finances of tho church never were in better condi tion, holding the banner among ail the Congregational churches on the coast in this regard. A church society which owes not a dollar is an unusual one in this age, but such is the record of the church in Tho Dalles, as announced last night. Moderator S. h. Brooks presided at tho business meeting, and with the as sistance of Clerk A. R. Thompson, soon disposed of all the questions which came up for consideration. Among other things B. A. GifTord was elected a trustee; B. S. Huntington re-elected treasurer, A. R. Thompson re elected clerk, and Mrs. E. M. Wilson again chosen a deaconess. At the close of tho business session a pleasing music program was rendered. Mr?, E. O. McCoy gave a pretty solo, entitled "Always;" W. E. Simonton, accompanied by Miss Schmidt at the organ, then rendered a crnot solo, "I Cannot Tell," which was heartily en cored; Mrs. G. T. Parr Eang "Dream ing," which was especially suited to her voice and well rendered. The male quartet composed of Messrs. Lundell, Simonton, Poling and Landers, wero so well appreciated in their selection and its rendition that the audience would not be satisfied until they again ap peared andfendered "Bumble Bee" quartet, ylio selection from the "Hay makers"' given by the church choir, was beautiful and also loudly encored. The folding doors leading into the lecture room were then opened and re vealed tables set in the most tasty man ner and tho room was also prettily dec orated. Soon the members aud their friends were seated and enjoying the re freshments served by the ladies, during which timo happy convocation and good cheer prevailed, making tho entire evening a most pleasant occasion. SAID TO BE ALUM POISONING. Sertoli CHes of Illume IlrjxirtKl From the Ue ol Impure ttaklnc PuhJit, The poisoning of tho ThoraaB family, of Thomas' Mill, Somerset Co., four members of which were reported to havo been made dangerously ill by impure baking powder used in mixing buck wheat cakes, has been further investi gated. The original can with the remainder of the baking powder left over after mixing tho cakes was secured by Dr. Critchfleld. The powder had been bought at a neighboring country Eton1, and was ono of the low priced brands. Dr. Critchfleld said that the patients had tho symptoms of alum poisoning. As tho same kind of baking powder is sold in many city groceries as well as country stores, Dr. Critchfleld thought it important that a chemical examina tion should bo made to determine ltn in gredients. Ho therefore transferred the package of powder to Dr. Sehill, of this city, for analysis. Dr. Schill'a report is aa follows : "I certify that I have examined chem ically tho sample of baking powder Grocery Department.... Special Fish Sale For One Week.
