After the entertainment to he given by the Indies of the Catholic church on Tuesday, the floor will bo cleared and those who wish may dunce, and we will add that Birgfelus orchestra will furnish the music which is sufficient to say the majority of the audience will remain. The children excluded from the public schools for having come in contact with the Mnllican family who nre down with the smallpox, will be admitted to their respective rooms Monday, the danger Hoe being passed and no symto:u of the disease having mode itself manifest.

The school patrons of Hood River are showing an .unusual interest In all that pertains to a common school education.

Yesterday when the Regulator reached the looks she had but little trouble in going through, although the canal was froxen over and the boat had to cut her way through the Ice. However, today the ice has packed in and closed some.of the valves and it is doubtful if our old reliable will be able to reach her harbor of safety tonight. If she does it will be late, but if she is unsuccessful she will attempt it again tomorrow and in all probability be ready to leave here s uiual Monday morning. A telegram was reodved today by the Misses Flynn from their niece Mite, Mamie Helen Flynn a prominent elo rutionist of Huntington, saying she would arrive Monday and will assist iu the entertainment to be given by the ladies of the Catholic church on Tuesday evening. Mies Flynn Iieb received some flattering comments in the press of Port land, Baker City and other places. She is an exceptionally fine speaker and to hear her, will alone be wjrth the price of admission. Brown and Wilson who were sentenced to serve eight years in the penitentiary were taken to Salem this morning by Deputy Sheriff Sexton and City Marshal Hughes. The guards took no chances with the horse thieves, and they pro ceeded on their way well ckakled and handcuffed. By the time their sentence expires they will probably have decided that it is better to keep in the straight and narrow path, than to wander in the highway of lawlessness. Telegraph, telephone and electric light companies have appealed to tbe author ities of Pendleton to protect them from the tin-sign lackers, who persist in de facing their property by tacking their advertisements ou the poles in the street. It would be a good thing for the com panies in The Dalles to emulate the ap peal made by tbe owners of property in our sister city. The poles in our streets are covered with tin signs, posters, cards and advertising matter of sundry and divers kinds, that is anything but beautiful although we suppose it answers the desired purpose for it surely attracte the eye. This morning Alva Simmons was ar raigned before Judge Bradsbaw upon the charge of larceny in a store, he being the saan accused of stealing some articles from Tho8. Burgess at Bake Oven. Simmons pleaded not guilty and his at torneys, Huntington fc Wilson filed a demurrer to the indictment. The ques tion Is an interesting one as it involves in a measure tbe procedure under the new law allowing the district attorney to file information against suspected parties instead of having them indicted by tbe grand jury as formerly. D. J. Malarky, of Portland, is assisting Dist. Atty. Jayne. In case of fire of course all should do their beet to subdue the flames or give their help in any way necessary. How ever, firemen as a rule go immediately to where their apparatus is housed and place themselves in readiness to lend as sistance. When yesterday's alarm was sounded a number of the firemen belong ing to companies be'ow tbe bluff got a toam and ran to the Mt. Hood Hose company's house, got out their cart and weut to the scene of the conflagation without even a member from the com pany mentioned. Quite a number of the boys were laughing about the iu oldent and remarked they remembered hearing "Better late than never" but in this instance the Mt. Hood company was well, "out o" sight." People of Tbe Dalles are contemplating the establishment at that point of a .wool-scouring mill, and they are likely to have it erected and In operation before Portland people get a woolen mill started Even if they do, there will be plenty of room and opportunity in Portland for a big woolen mill. The Dalles is a most suitable location for a wool-scouring plant, and it would be of much benefit not only to that city but to the many woolernwers who annually haul some 10,000,000 pounds of wool to that point for shipment. It would save paying freight on some 3000 tons of dirt and grease, amounting to over $100,000 a year. Telegram. After holding the attention of the court yesterday afternoon the case of the State vs. J. H. Preston, charged with larceny in a dwelling, came to an end this afternoon when the j'iry returned a verdict of not guilty. Preston was indicted for the larceny of some clothing from the room cf E. Jacobsen, and the case attracted considerable attention. Yesterday afternoon was taken up with the introduction of testimony, and in the evening District Attorney Jayne begau tbo argument for the slate, being followed by Ned H. Gates, who made the opening speech for the defense. Tnis morning Fred W. Wilson made the closing argument for the defense, while Mr. Jayne closed for the state. The jury retired at 11:15, and at 1:43 re lumed with a verdict of not guiltv. An OP" River. Stcamboatingon the Middle Columbia and Snake river will no doubt be sus pended within a day or two, arording to a report in the Telegram. Zero weather prevails at all points on the Snake and the river is expected to close at any time. Cold weather has pre vailed for several days and jesterday shore ice waB forming sb far down as the Cascades. If the weather continues cold for three days longer there is no doubt but what steamers of The Dalles, Port land & Astoria Navigation Company will be forced to tie up. I he weather bureau predicts a continually falling temperature, with no sign ot abating for three days. Aetorinn. The Astorian has been misinformed in some manner for there lias been no shore ice between this point and the Cascades this winter, and it will have to get lecidedly colder than it is at present before there will be any. There is not much danger of the D. P. & A. N. Co.'s boats tying up for they usually find some method of keeping the river open when there is no floating ic, and there has been none this winter. untees ine uniorseen arises we are pretty eure of an open river the balance of the winter, and of daily boat eervice as usual. ItegUter While You Can. Voters are registering slowly and will likely put the matter off until the eleventh hour. Many say there's plenty of tune yet, and so put off and will forget to register until too late. The law regarding registration will need amending in a few particulars by tbe next legislature, and it might pos sibly be well to so amend it as to make it apply only to incorporated cities and towns. Even in a city like The Dallee many voters will neglect to register, but in the larger towns such a law is neces sary even if many qualified electoie are barred out through their own careless ness or laziness. But in the sparsely settled districts a still larger proportion of votes is likely to be lost, and in such localities there is not so much need of the law. In a country precinct everyone is known and It is not easy or common for repeaters to operate. But whether any distinction should be made or not It is certain that the total vote this year will be smaller by a considerable per cent than it would be without the law. Every good citizen should desiie to vote once and no more, and ought also to comply cheerfully with the registra tion law, the object of which is to make honest electors votes effective.
