Speaking of the disease now eo preva

from Moro saya that much can be done
toward preventing it by adhering to tho
Btnot rulea of cleanliness; that nine
cases out of ten are found in homes
where tilth aboundi, aud theso show
too Bame carelessness in exposing their
Meighbora, and thus it spreads.

All who attended tho Students' Liter
ary Club last night greatly appreciated
Dr. GeiBendorffer's uddresa on Bacteri
ology. In an interesting manner lie
spoko on a Bubjeet of much moment to
nil. During the forty minutes which he
occupied none grow restles, as is often
tim case, but were attentive through
out. A male quartet rendered two se
lections. While Dalles audiences are often ac
cused of being too cold and unupprecia
tive, there is a danger of going to the
other extreme and applauding promiscu
ously, thus deluding the actors and dis
gusting others in the audience. If
there is anything of merit in a per
formance, let it be given, aa the boye
say, tlm "glad hand," and encourage
the performers; otherwise let us at
least preserve a becoming silence.
It would appear to those who gn;u at
the ground covered with frost each

tremely cold; tint such has not been
the case an yet, tlm thermometer going

Tho Astoria bowling team, composed
of Messrs. McGowan, Wise, Johnson,
Goodale, Daws and Sovey, will arrive on
this evening's train nndplay our team
ut the club alleys tonight. Their luck
turned somewhat in the contest with
the Illilioes Thursday night, when they
were beuten in four straight games,
with a total score of U00 to S05. Holling
will begin at 8 o'clock tonight, and the
lady friends of the club nro invited to
be present.
The Brunnlck hotel, ut Skugway,
Alaska, was destroyed by fire on the
morning of January 17th, witli a total
loss of $10,000. The owner, E. J. Brau
nick, was formerly connected with tho
Mitchell, Lewis & Stuver Company in
Portland. The fire atarted from a de
fective flue. The thermometer was at
zero, and tho wind was blowing at a 40
inilo gait. The firemen kept four streams
of water on the fire, and succeeded in
keeping the flames from spreading, but
the hotel was a total loss.
The hoard of health have ordered that
no public gatherings of any kind be
held in Wasco until such time as they
doein it eafe for tho public health. This
includes the literary, dances, church
aud school. The latter was closed till
further orders this morning. The city
council alBo prohibited any freight,
paseenKr or mail traffic from Moro to
this city. The mail has been quaran
tined since January 1st, but the law has
been avoided, we are sorry to say. In j
view of the six new cases reported at
Moro, let us hope no more violations
will take place, for this is a eerious
matter. Nbws.
MrB. M. E. Graves, Btate superintend
ent of the Washington W. C. T. U., ar
rived this afternoon and will spend a few
days in the city in the interest of the
temperence cause. BeBido apeaking in
the Methodist church tomorrow morn
ing and the Christian in the evening,
she will address a union mass meeting
at the Methodist church Monday night,
in which the various churches will unite.
It has been some time since a speaker of
her description has visited The Dalles,
and her presence will bo appreciated.
Among tlm many tilings which may be
Baid against the company which ap
peared at the Vogt last night, there is
one thing sure, und that is that they
kept their promise. They advertised a
cheerful liar company and verified their
statement by steering as clear of the
piomises made concerning the merits of
the productions as possible. With the
exception of perhaps seven of the nine
performers, the cast was passably good.
We may live in a small "country" town,
but we know a good thing when wo see
it and are willing to give credit where
credit is due. If a company starts out
on the road with the intention of doing
the square thing by tho people who
patronize them, they will find no more
appreciative people than those of The
Dalles. Hut, if, on the contrary, they
pick up a job lot of actors und actresses
and present a show wtth absolutely no
merit to it, they will bo received ac
cordingly. WARREN'S DIVISION CRUSHED.

The Dali.es, Jan. 27, 1900.
EniTon CmtoNicLE :
As the Times-Mountaineer has taken
the pain: to notify its readers that I
hve refused to - debate the "money
question" with Mr. Fred Floed I am
deeply impressed with the conviction
that a matter of such transcendant im
portance to tho world should net escape
the notice of the readers of tiie Ciihoni
ci.u. Alas for the regret of the "hi
metalists," who would flock to such a
discussion as they would to a deadly
conflict between two barnyard roosters,
Mr. Gourlay is not seeking somebody
to tramp on tiie tail of his coat. He has
discussed the ''money question" with
Mr. Fioed, backed by two men as able
ub himself. It was u case of three to one
and Mr. Floed, with the others, in
stead of meeting tiie arguments like a
man, contented himself with getting up
on his hind legs and howling calamity.
What is the use of wasting powder on
such a disputant? I have never learned
to lisp tiie first accents of calamity and
would have no show with a past master
of that lugubrious art.
But if the "bimetalists" insist upon a
discussion of this dead and almost pet
rified issue ot It! to 1, I promise here
and now to accommodate them when
Mr. Floed, or any other silver champion,
points out a solitary instance in all
human history when under free coinage
of any metal tho stamp of tho govern
ment added anything to the value of the
metal stamped. The whole question of
a so-called double standard is involved
in this. If gold and silver will not cir
culate side by side when coined free at a
false ratio, bimetalism is an irredescent
dream and 10 to 1 is nothing can be
nothing but silver monometallism.
