believe that all fabrics will not be hiclier in future, for
prices have advanced all nlong the line, and for people
to presume thnt they can always buy goods at tho pres
ent low prices is utter folly. We will not quote yon
prices on special lines this issue, but bear in mind that
there isn liberal reduction throughout the

Among the many magazines which

I although not an old one is one of tho
most entertaining. It is aptly termed
Everybody's Magazine, for it interests
nil. Not being filled with long treatises
on weighty subjects which tiro those
whose thoughts are busy the live long
day, it, however, has tho beet of rending
and that which is calculated to make
the leisure hours pass pleasantly.
The past few days have been .busy
ones for the teachers in the high tchool ;
much busier than usual, und that's
saying n grent tleul. The promotion of.
classes for tho now term hai caused a
surplus in tho higher rooms, 113 pupils
in the high school department, nnd
fifty-nine, in the 8th II and 8th A, wit!:

It was noised about town yesterday
that a family from Sherman county,
who hail scarcely recovered from the I
sinallprx, was visiting friends tin the
hill, w ho also have children, nnd that
tho authorities should look into tlfu
matter. Wo have learned nothing fur
ther eoncsrning the matter, hut such
carelessness should merit a just share of
punishment. : ".Criminal carelessness
started the disease at Wumic anil in
other places, and if people are so selfish
as not to consider tho rights of others,
the luw should take their cases in hand.
Tho past few days) havo been hodoos
so far as Hro9 are concerned in every
part of the state. Troutdale is the last
lieard from, fire having broken out in
J. Klipper's suloou this morning about"
o'clock, completely destroying the build
ing and contents, liranhum'e moat
market was burned, but everthing of
valuo was saved. Mickey's hotel also
went, but everything had been carried
out Only by the most persistent work
ami the fact that tho wind shifted in
their favor was the Lock block saved.
Tho wind had blown fiercely to the oust,
hut suddenly veered toward tho south
and thus saved that block, and perhaps
many others.
Hugh Drown, one cf tho desperadoes
who is now confined in the county jail,
"got gay" this morning and just after,
breakfast when they were in the cor
ridor, finding that the other Drown was
"in town," he began grabbing at him
and finally tied his hands behind him
and attempted to carry him Into a cell.
At first "Windy" thought he was joking,
but at length concluding he was doing
the crazy act, began defending himself,
nnd with the assistance of the other
prisoners got him in the cell, when the
jailer was called. It is thought Drown
was playing craxy; but he'll not fool
Fitzgerald, who is on tho lookout for tho
likes of him.
Theater-goers in The Dalles will be
disappointed to learn that Clara Thropp,
who so delighted them in tho "Doll
House" about a year ago, cancelled an
engagement hero for Saturday night.
On account of tho smallpox scare
throughout the upper country all her
engagements in Eastern Oregon and
Washington wee cancelled. We are,
however, promised n series of firstciass
plays in the near future nt the Vogt.
On tho 8th, 9th and 10th of February
"The Cyrene" will bo played; on the
15th, Barries "Little Minister" which is
said to bo presented by ono of tho best
companies on tho road ; on the 24th the
"City of New York" company, which
carries a carload of such scenery ns has
never been seen in Tho Dalles, and on
April 2d, Daniel Sully will appear.

which ho bears as an actor.

catricd on to a certain extent in tho Mt.
Hood district, thirty-five miles from

since they discovered a t lull ledge of free

Further particulars concerning tho
suicide of Sidney Dawson at Portland
Montlay, are to the effect that Hawson
had been drinking heavily for n week,
but on tho fatal dny was perfectly sober,
arid was led to the rash act by melan
choly over tho disgrace und trouble
caused by tho divorco proceedings nnd
the circumstances which led up to it.
He coolly shot hiuiBelf at his room In the
Esmond hotel, leaving two letters, one
to his wife nnd the other to ids brother
at Arlington.
Tho letter to his wife was as follows:
"Pohti.ani), Jan. 22, 1900. My Dear
Wife: That justlco may be done to you
and the children, I send this letter first
to Judge Cleland, to read nnd make
known to the world I also inclose a
letter I wrote from England in 1895,
which will explain Hurlburt's being in
your room during your sickness at that
d tte. The same is also true of Lucile
Hiwson. She is mine.
"Now, how and why did I do what I
havo done? I cannot tell, only that old
Sydney is gone. Whiskey took him
away ; but lie got back today, and is
going to stay ns tie was in 1891.
"Do not let. the children know what
was tho manner of my death. Just tell
them that I have gone (I hope) to
heaven, and n ill look down upon them.
"Forgive me, if you can, tho wrong I
have done you. I truBt ami I know that
you will do your duty by the boy and
bring him up a man. All my papers are
in my grip ki my room.
"I cannot stand not to do my duty in
tho matter, for it is a sin to put u stain
on you, and 1 wish you had been n little
more firm, and at tho same time shown
some pity when I asked you a mouth ago.
Your husband,
"Sydney G. Hawson.
"MoBt of my troubles can be put of
late years to the Wasco warehouse, and
F. T. Hurlburt fighting me and ruining
me."
A. C. Hawson, the brother, arrived in
Portland yesterday morning, in com
pany with Mayor Deardsley and W. II.
Calwell, prominent Knights of Arling
ton, and A. A. Jnyne, of this city, who
was his attorney. They passed through
this city last night with the body, and
the funeral took placo today at Arling
ton under tho auspices of the K. of P.
and Masonic orders.
The Itoncl Question Settled.
Mayor Kuck presided at a special
meeting of the council last night with
Councilmen Keller, Clongh, Stephens,
Gunning, Shackelford, Wilson and
Johnston present.
Tho mayor at once announced that the
object of tho meeting was to consider
the mayor's veto to ordinance 31S, which
provided for tho issuance of $20,000
wortti of water bonds. The ordinance
was then placed on final passage over
the mayor's veto; but was lost.
Gunning then introduced special ordi
nanco No. 319, providing for tho issu
ance of $25,000 worth of water bonds, or
if the full sum is found not necessary
for the refunding of said bonds, by rea
son of the water commission concluding
and determining before tho sale thereof
that said hoard shall contribute the sum
of $3000 toward Jtho payment of said
bonds, then the city shall only issue
$20,000 worth o' bonds. A vote being
taken the ordinance passed.
On motion of Wilson, tho matter of
strengthening the floor of tho engine
house was referred to tho committee on
firo and water, with power to act.
