It deems that ever since the ehurrh people have been having pro tracted meetings there a gang of toughs have been annoying thum, and either Inst night or Saturday night trouble ensued, when shuts were fired. It was impossible to obtain any particulars concerning the matter. Saturday morning William Riley, who has been yardmaster for the 0.

Poling have prevailed upon him to deliver his lecturu on "Tho Johnstown Flood by One Who Passed Through It," on Saturday night of this week hi the Congiegatioual church. Although many years have passed since thu terrible calamity befell that beauti ful little city, Mr. Poling is tho first survivor of the flood who has ever spoken on thu subject in Thu Dalles, and all are anxious to listen to him. An admission of 25 cents will be charged, and ir cents for school children. Mr. and Mrs, G. W. Simpson, with their two little sine, arrived yesterday afternoon from Chicago, bringing the body of Mrs. Simpson's mother for burial. It has been a number of years since Mrs. Simpson left Thu Dalles, where as Miss Alma Bewdey, shu was one of tho leading young ladies of the uity, and there is still a large number who will' remember her well and be pleased to greet her again!

J. Ueezloy at the Methodist church this morning, and as word had been received that two grand sons of the deceased Fred and Henry Smith, with their wives had passed 8-Mile on their way from Paulina, it was supposed they would arrive in time. However, a short time before the hour for services, word was received that on account of the terrible condition of the roads they could not make it. It was therefore necessary to postpone ttie funeral until 10 o'clock tomorrow morn ing, when it will o;eur ut the place designated. Farmers, stockmen and town folks whu are needing anything in the line of fruit, shade or ornamental trees, grape vineB and small fruit, roses, shubbery, etc., (and you all need them) cannot af ford to miss seeing Harry Cummings, the well known local agent for the famous Dalles Nurseries, who iB now canvassing in Morrow and Grant counties. Whatever Harry nays iB cor rect; and when dealing with him you need fear no practice of deception, as is sometime the ease with strangers in that business. He has already secured an immense lot of good-sized orders in Heppner this week. Times. It would certainly seem that some in dividuals were groping about seeking whom they "might devour" or what damage they can do their neighbors. Such a spirit was evidenced by thu fiends who Friday night of last week put over a hundred dollars out of the pocket of Louiu Connni by their contemptible I acts. In front of his mat bio works he has always kept a large number of tombstones on exhibit, and up till this time no one has seen fit to disturb them ; but Saturday lie found one of his most expensive monuments, in the form of an angel, thrown out into the stieet, with the head broken oil' and the stone otherwise mutilated. Beside this sev eral other smaller ones suffered a like fate, until the loss amounted to quite a sum. Mr. Coinini has no clew to the .perpetrator of the contemptible act, un less it was done by a crowd of drunken men, who were preambulatiug up that way about midnight. However, he is on their track, and if he chances to run across them It is safe to say he will be inclined not to leave enough of them over which to place one of the smallest tombstones they disturbed.

A number of our leading business men, however, fi'iled to make their appear ance. Robert Mays was appointed chairman nnd Frank Menefee was secre tary. Without an exception all seenif-d to be in favor of the idea of a scouring mill, none doubting our need of such a plant, nor the benefit to be derived thereby. At the same time it was con sidered nece8ary that our people have a more thorough understanding of the proposition as made by Mr. Russell. The committee, consisting of Mesers. Whealdon, Pease and Williams, into whose hands the matter has been placed, was therefore instructed to correspond with the gentleman, ascertaining the entire details before any move is made toward soliciting subscriptions. As soon as this is determined definite steps will be taken, as it is desired that the mill be in running order before this year's wool clip comes in. Were all our citizens as enthusiastic as tl e one who taid that night, "I am ready to subscribe toward anything which will better the town in general, whether 1 receive any direct benefit or not," there would be no difficulty in se curing a scouring mill or anything elee needed. And it should be a go.

I would suggest that discrimination be extended to the old bachelors and widowers. Now it matters not in what way they discriminate, whether in favor or against ; t he object being to render the widowers and bachelors more con spicuous. While the audience is gay,, ing upon the once dear creature.", they would naturally like to see what those who are the prime cause of the lament able condition of the "old maids" look like. I would suggest that the widowers and bachelors either be admitted at half price, charged double price, given re served seats or huddled oil' to one ori'.er ; the object being to please and entertain the audience.
