Our old friend the Chinook is a blow
hard, and gave us such a bretzo last
night about 11 o'clock that many wen;
congratulating themselves that at that
rate our streets would be dried up. ISut
Jupiter Pluvious disputed hie sway and
reigned supreme, making the streets, if
anything, worse this morning. Con
tentment is said to be the road to happi
ness, and the best way for Dalles people
to do is to travel that highway, leaving
the mud beneath them.
J. II. Baker, father of C. F. Baker,
who was arrested here Sunday night by
the slieritrof Umatilla county, as the
man who was wanted there for forgery,
informed us that it was a case of mis
taken identitly that the man wanted
was C. K. Baker, and his son returned
yesterday afternoon. Baker tallied ex
actly with tho description sent to the
sheriiriiere, and his past record caused
the mistake, if mistake it was. Mr.
Baker says the man upon whom the
check wan passed exonerated his bon.
About a week ago, Mr. 0. M. Smith,
who so delighted Dalles people with liiH
wonderful bass voice upon different
occasions, lefthucity fuSan Francisco,
and in n letter tya frLeiid informs him
that he lias decidtSliu locatu there, and
has already ncceptinha position in one of
tho largest cliurchesN. While wo are
more- than tory to parPswllli such a
musician, atfho same time wu realize
a place the size of Tho Dalles cannot
afl'ord the opportunity "such a voice
merits. In Colorado ho was known as
"the little man with the big baeu voice,"
and lie was well named, for none would
believe a person of so small mature
could possess such a phenomenal voice.
His friends here wleh him nil manner of
success in his new home.
As usual In Tho Dalles, tho greater
portion of the first act of last ulght'H
play was completely spoiled by the con
tinued arrival of the audience, It gen
erally takes a little time to become ac
customed to the voices and the surround
ings, but last night those who were there
at a reasonable time were exasperated
beyond measure as they endeavored
to catch but a few scattered words of the
conversations which generally form the
nucleus of tho play. Now that the
storeB closo at an early hour, there is
little excuse for tardiness in arriving at
entertainments However, many may
have been uncertain as to the hour when
the curtain would rise. In the future Tin:
Ciiuonici.i: will endeavor to publish the
hour when the play commences, and it
is to be hoped our people will soon be
gin to consult the pleasure nf others as
well as themselves, aud he more prompt.
Keferrlng to the case of Winnie Thorn,
which has caused such wide-spread
horror and indignation throughout the
state, after censuring the brutes who
perpetrated the dastardly crime, the
Cottage Grove Nugget warns girls of
other towns and aptly says : "The young
girls of tho various towns can profit by
the experience of Winuin Thorn, of
Latham. These men may be the angels
they have tried to impersonate, and no
matter how the court may deal with
them, conclusive evidence has been ob
tained that some railroad men may be
tho perpetrators of dastardly crimes, as
well as other people; but when a girl
takes it upon herself to frequent the
depot grounds for tho solo purpose of
flirting witli the employes of the road
bIio not only lessens her stand in the
community in which she lives, but she
has started on the trail that may almost
any time lead her into the vicious hands
of men not unlike the brutes who
brought disgrace and shame upon the
heads of father and mother, shocked a
good commuulty, "set a blister" upon
the fair namo of the victim, and knocked
tho rust oil" the hinges of tho. peni
tentiary. Girls cannot afl'ord to run

The Hawson divorce caee, which has
been brought so prominently and of
fensively before tho people for some
time past, has ended as manycuch cases
do tragically. Last night Hon. V. It.
Ellis, wlio passed through the city on
his way to lfeppner, brought the news
of the suicido of Sidney Hawson by
shooting- himself yesterday afternoon
about 11 o'clock in the hotel at Portland.
Sidney Hawson 13 well known in
Gilliam county, and for Hint part
throughout Eastern Oregon, having been
a member of tho legislature some years
since. Of late years ho has been man
ager of tho Moody warehouse at Arling
ton, having lived there since lSIil. Nino
years ago lie was nianied, and for the
past live years there lias been continual
domestic trouble, his wifo charging him
with excessive drinking and ill treat
ment of her and asking for the custody
of two children. He in turn accused
her of infidelity. For somo months the
Arlington Advocate lias been airing the
family troubles, and since tho divorce
case came up in Portland lust Thursday,
the Oregonlan has given It prominence.
Full particulars as to tho suicide have
not been obtained, but no doubt the un
fortunate man grew despondent over the
state of affairs, or may havo taken to
excessive drinking which caused the
terrible deed.

our years ago Mr.
Wakefield brought him hero ftom Mon
mouth. He improved, but lor Borne
time hiiB suffered terribly with rl.euma
Usui. A short time einco ho resorted to
a mustard plaster for relief and directly
after began rubbing his back with
Wizard Oil. This combination blistered
his back and side dreadfully and added
to the pain drove him almost distracted.
A physician was summoned, but he im
proved but slightly, and growing melan
choly often wished ho were dead.
Everything was done to help and en
courago him, but seoir.ed fruitless. A
few days ago ho took bis gun to tho
barn, and fearing something was wrong,
tiiey watched him and finally discovered
him just in the act of killing himself.
He was afterward watched closely, but
yesterdav afternoon succeeded in his
desire to be rid of his suffering.
He leaves, beside Mrs. Wakefield, a
sister, Mrs. Jane Wolverton, of Mon

leave for that place tomorrow, taking
his body there for burial.
