' The Increasing Interest in educational
matters throughout the county of late

Not only nre thoso directly connected
with the work fully alive to its every
interest, but the public In general the
property owners nnd seemingly every
reeident of the county, are ready to fall
in with every move for tlio ndvunceineut

well shown by the special tax voted by

I The University Monthly for January

-" Among other features we note two cuts
() ' one ' the Glee Club and another of

! Among them we find a splendid likeness

,sings alto with the club.
I Last evening Frank Duffy and a man
named Deed were having a sociable sort
of a fight on Mays it Crowe's comer,
both of them being Intoxicated, when
f
' T n ra a I lliinlina in tup Fa rod an ft lamloil
them in jail. The former plead guilty,
was fined $5, and is now spending a
short time in jil. Deed did not seem
to have been the aggressor, and was
fined bnt $3, which ho paid.
The elements certainly seem to ba
leagued against our streets this winter,
and just about the time we have our
minds made up that they are going to
dry up and the crosswalks are becoming
passable, a slight fall of rain will make
them worse, if possible, than before.
This morning snow covered the ground
and during tho day there has been a
question whether we were to have snow
or rain.
While business at this time of the ear
hardly warrants the I). 1. & A. N. Co.
in running two steamers, still the
familiar toot of the approaching steam
er is greatly mist-ed when It fails to fall
upon the ear each evening of the week.
However, the boats will soon make
daily ylsits, as it is expected the Dalles
City will be ready for the run about tho
12th of the month. Shu will be in ex
cellent trim, if anything better than
new.
Tonight the members of the Students'
Literary Debating Society will hold a
moot house of representatives. Those
who attended tho recent eoerton of the
senate say It was a unst Interesting one,
and as the house will discuss the leasing
of public lands, visitors will no doubt
find the meeting equally as. interesting.
It is the intention of tho society to have
a number of lectures from local talent
as well us from speakers of other cities.
Next Friday night they propose to have
a lecturer from abroad.
We have learned that some of our
citizens do not fall in with the idea ad
vanced by Councilman Wilson at a re
cent meeting of the council and second
ed by tho Ciiuo.Nicui Wednesday, re
garding tho proposed newer system. Tho
Idea is to send u statement of the amount
of taxation which the now system will
occasion to each person und thus give
them un opportunity to have n voice in
the mutter. We can seo no reason for
objecting to such a plan, for whether a
fcitlren be for or against the Idea, It is
but just that he be allowed to expreus
an opinion in regard to the matter.
Tho Latter Day Saints, who have fro.
quently of late honored (?) The Dalles
with their visits, do not seem to be re-
ceiylng tho "glad hand" from our peo
"ther seem that winter hat been en- pie and It would seem as though they
ought to take the hint and seek greener
fields. If they do not, then they should
be given a stronger reason for eo doing.
We speak thiis emphatically because we
have been informed they are becoming a
nuisance to the residents in the vicinity
of the pines, annoying the women in
that portion of the city greatly. This
should not be tolerated. No person who
enters The Dalles on a niissionjof mercy
or for any good purpose ia ever treated
other than hospitably ; but it certainty
appears that these people cannot reason
ably be placed in this catagory.
In the supreme court Wednesday the
cue of the State vs Otis Savage was
argued and submitted. The circum
stances of the case are still fresh in the
minds of Dalles people, although five
years have elapsed since Otis Savage and
Frunk Klein were arrested for robbing
the Pacific Express office of .fU.OOO.
Klein plead guilty, showing the place
where the money was hid under tho
sidewalk on First Etreet, and served out
a sentence in the penitentiary. Not so
I Sivage, who plead not guilty, waa tried,
convicted of grand larceny and sentenced
to four years in the penitentiary. Since
that time he has spent most of his time
on the streets of The Dalles, having ap
pealed to reverse tho judgment, assign
ing numerous nlleged errors of tho court.
To tho people of this enlightened and
Christian age, the superstitions of the
Chinese appear ridiculotiB and wo view
with amazement the forms and cere
monies which were gone through ye&ter-'
day at the funeral of one of their num
ber. And yet again this morning was a
visit made to the grave, where tapora
were burned thereon and u lunch set by
the side of the mound. Tho little eon,
followed by .the few companions with
him, made an obeisance and said a few
words, which oneof tho Chinese inter
preted as "Good morning, mamma."
They then lighted tapers on each grave
in the cemetery, and placing a generous
spread of eatables on tho now grave, left
the deceased to enjoy her meal ulono.
Generally the spirit of some Weary
Willie happens along und keeps her
com pan y at her meal.
As was expected, Hugh Brown's caeo
has proven to be one In which there waa
method in tho madness. Such was tho
opinion of the officers here, but to prove
tho fact wus another mattei, for Brown
did the era.' act up to a nicety. To
use every precaution, tho sheriff sent u
communication to the superintendent of
the asylum giving him full detuils of
the case und expressing tho onlnlou that
the Insanity waa feigned, ut the same
time asking them to ueo every test
possible. It Heei.'is tho latter Injunction

was loiioweu, ior jsrown nun ueeu mi
InthewullH of the asylum but a short
time when he waa compelled to confess
to the strategy, and Sheriff Kelly re
ceived word to send back for his man.
Sexton, therefore, retraced his Mops
und will return with hie prisoner to
nMit. SusnicIoniiiK that his ial, Wil-
rou, was In league with him, and had
probably fed him at nights, the former
was locked in his cell today, and both
will be kept in chains until their cute
comes up at this month's term of court.
J
In splrT6TTSe almost, inevitable fate
of thenorgereri every few daya some
new caW-eJt-fergery is brought to light.
The latest was revealed in The Dalles
last night about 0 o'clock, when n fellow,
giving his namo as Allen Edwards,
passed a First National Bank check for
$10 in Keller's, the check being signed
by N. Whealdon. Aa soon as the fellow
left the store Mr. Keller 'phoned up to
Mr. Whealdon und discovered he had
signed no such check. Keller then
started out in search of his man, wnom
he found up the street, and telling him
the check was no uood made him pungle
out the $9.50, at the same time engag
ing him in conversation as ho walked
down the street toward the marshal's
office. Parting with him at the corner,
he walked over and got Hughes, who at
once started out and secured him. It
waa later determined that ho had passed
another check for $10 at Keys & Nelson's
ealonn, drawn on Squiree, foreman of the
portage road, and one for$5 at tho Uma
tilla house bar, drawn on an Illinois
hank. When the marshal asked him foi
the check, w pulled another one out of
his pocket in favor of Black, saying he
secured it from one Black, who, however,
could not be found.
He is a good looking fellow of about
23 years, well dressed, and has been in
town a few dayo, stopping at the Uma
tilla. From n letter found in his pocket,
written by lib aweetheart in Illinois, it
was discoverod his real name ia Geo.
Simmons.
He ia now in the county jail und his
hearing is set for 4 o'clock.
