red years, not fifty, nor even one has elapsed since the clothes we are showing were

many deem it simply a bluff. lie that

A meeting of tho Young Ladies' So
ciety of Single Blessedness was held last
evening at the home of one of their
number to prepare for the convention
which meets Monday evening in the
Baldwin. It was decided to invite the
public in general to be present and to
enjoy the reception at the close. The
gentlemen of any aud every description
you 11?, middle aged or old are
cordially invited to meet the delegates
upon this occasion.
Speaking of the lecture which will he

Literary Club, the Ciiuoniclu spoke of
the Baptist chinch being engaged for
the occasion. Such is not the case nud

ileing in perfect sympathy with the
young men and their efforts to improve
themselves, no doubt Rev. I'ollugV ad

What possible motive could lend any
one to deliberately tluow a rock into a
car filled with passengers, is beyond our
ken. And yet Sunday night as the
passenger tiaiu stopped at lionncvilie
a good'sized rock whiz.ed through the
window Into the chair car, mashing a
passenger's hat in, grazing a man's knee
who sat on the other side of the car aud
scattering glass promiscuously. Had it
struck a little lower it must have
knocked the man iiifensible. Tho train
men wero justly wrathy, but though
they endeavored to discover the culprit,
'twas in vain, for he had escaped.
The gentle (?) Chinook wind "bloweth

Klickltats and the hills west of us the

ing, but finally succumbed beneath iti
mighty pdwor.
Poor "Kid Moore," Uie' morphine
fiend, who whs such an annoyance to
The Dallea officers last summer, seems
to be a greater torment to himself than
he could be to anyone else, and Saturday
in the Portland jail attempted suicide
by cutting his throat with a razor. It
would almost Eeem a pity that he did
not succeed. And yet an employe of
the Cmtosici.i: office knew Stewart
Moore when he whs a bright, happy boy
!n the Valley, but the worst o'f all
calamities came to Stewart in t"he loss
of his. mother, who left him to the care
of a worthless father. And last of all a
demon, in tho form of a woman, who
was a near neighbor, taught the lad the
awful habit which has been his curee.
If there is not a place of future torment
for such a being as her who thus led the
young lad to such a living death, then
will justice fail to be appealed.
The confirmation of II. II. Kiddell as
postmaster of The Dalles oliice will be a
satisfaction to our residents. Coming
to Mj. Riddeli as the oflice did, without
his seeking, it was the desire of all that
he be firmly establif bed m the position.
Then, too, he lias already shown a desire
to do his whole duty toward the public,
and his efforts in many directions In
connection with the work have bee.i
most commendable. Among other things
he is ueing every endeavor toward secur
ing a free delivery system, and it looks
much as if his efforts would be rewarded
before many months. We beopeak for
our postmaster a successful term of
oflice. Not that he will please all, nor
perhaps more than half, for what person
in such a position ever did, or could?
That one would certainly he infalhthle
who could perfectly mtisfy the various
characters with whom In has to deal
daily.

The firo boys evidently thought they
wero in for u genuine t fire a warm
number this morning, for an alarm on
such a bieezy day causes added terror at
tho sound of the bell. Reaching the
engine house, however, they found it
was but another test of tho new system,
P. Do S. Olney, malinger of tho board
of fire underwriters, being in the city to
mako the test itreparatory to making
the ten per cent reduction in the in
surance. Mr. Olney examined every feature of
the now system thoroughly, and ex
pressed hiiueelf as greatly pleased with
it In every particular. He saya The
Dalles has now a better system and
better boxes than has Portland. He
was also pleased with the new honk and
ladder outfit nnd the chemical engine,
the latter not being among the provisos
necessary to the reduction.
Another thing which assured that
gentleman that the companies would
lose nothing at the hands ot the Dalits
fiie department, was tho prompt man
ner in which they responded this morn
ing, and the large number which turned
nut to give assistance. The Ciiao.v
ici.e just here desires to inform all un
derwriters and others concerned, that
The Dalles firo department can't be
beat, and their equal is hard to Gnd.
Too much cannot be said in their favor
nor regarding the noble work they have
done in the past. They may ask any
who hae knowledge of their record and
the same opinion will be forthcoming.
So far as known now it will not be
necessary to give any fnrt her alarms in
testing the system, so that any future
alarms may be known to be genuine,
excepting the three taps which will be
given each day at noon in order to de
termine whether the system is in work
ing order.
Chief Lauer has turned over the thirty
five keys to the boxes which will be well
distributed, and wo would advise all to
preserve the cards containing the num
ber of the boxes, which were recently
given out by Pease and Mays, that they
may be used for reference. They are ns
follows: Two laps followed by seven in
succession is tho general alarm nt the
engine house ; two with six succeeding,

Were a few of the parents in The
Dalles to sing "Where Is My Wandering
Hoy Tonight" with the "spirit and the
understanding," the churches at least
would not be disturbed in their worship
as haB been the case for the past few
Sunday evenings when a gang of hood
lums gather in front of the Lutheran
and Baptist churches and with shooting,
etc., raised such a disturbance that it
was impossible to hear but a small por
tion of the service.
The following article, written by a
"liystander" in the Salem Statesman
touching on this very question, is right
to thu point :
" 'Where is My Wandering Hoy To
night?' is u question that disturbs
many an anxious father and mother'
mind and heart'in reference to this oil
spring, ranging in years from IS to -5
years. Many cf these disturbing
thoughts, witli their doubts and fears,
might lie avoided in their inoit serious
aspects had they arisen with suflicimt
forcrf to product tuition a few, yeats
earlier in the life of the bov. There aie
many fathers and motheis today, who
are laying the foundation for future
trouble by neglecting eomu little paitic
ulais that could now be attended to
with no great effort. Thu period be
tween school hours and dusk is a con
venient one for small hoys to congregate
in secret places, ami conduct seatlces in
which they would not much relish the
pteseuce of their pirents. Thu By-
jstander knows of several boys belonging
to good lanulies that can he seen almost
any latu afternogu banded together in a
well shaded hack yard and in vacant
out-buildinua in thu uuighborl ood,
where they smoke cigarettes, ami in
