The west-bound train is reported more than three hours late. Eev. VV. G. Simpson is reported as en tirely free from fever, but still very weak. Mr. William Grant spent the day in town yesterday. He reports things very quiet at U rants. A refreshing sprinkle to lay the dust this morning, with the scent of "more to follow" in the air. Mr. Mclnnes is again on the streets after a week's wrestle with what threatened to be typhoid fever. Abrams & Stewart received this morning a car loid of stoves direct from St. Louis L eaters, stoves and ranges. Mr. Joseph MacGachern left on last night's train for Vortland to see the fair the exposition only is alluded to, of course. There was no service in some of the churches on Sunday evening, owing to the temporary failuie of tbe Incandescent burners. Mrs. Nancy Wiley, who has been visiting her son, Mr. Julius Wiley, for the past month, went below on yesterday's train to her home in New berg. Mrs. R. Stewart, daughter of Rev. G o. Hutchison, who has been visiting her par ents in this city for some time, will leave this week for her residence in Colusa, Cal. We learn that there were $1300 iusi r t nee on the furniture and fixtures of the property injured or destroyed by last night's blaze. The Northwest Ins. Co., represented in this city by Mr. C. E. x "y ard is the loser in this case. Messrs. Crandall & Barget commenced this morning seating the new public school building on the hill. Tbe seats 20S in number, are the "perfect automatic" and are the work of the Grand Rapids School Furniture company. The house occupied bv Capt". Houghton on the corner of Union and Third streets will be moved to-day by Andy Velarde. Its new location is on Fourth street next to the residence of its 5wner, Mr. Leslie But ler. Capt. Houfhton ntends to hold the fort during the change. We wonder what on earth Mr. Sharon is going to do with all the furniture wbich he is storing in the basement of Mr. Ncilscn's house. It is not at all likely that Craodall & Burget will start a branch house so far op the hill. It is a good plan however George, we have tried it ourselves. Rev. Geo. A. Hutchison will rp to Pen dleton on Wednesday night's train to attend the annual meeting of, the Synod of the Columbia, which embraces all of Oregon and Washington. As he will necessarily be ahsent tver Sunday tnerc will be no service in tbe Y. M. C. A Hall next Sabbath. Some small boy might find light but lu crative employment in assisting Couoty As sessor Gourlay to keep track of his ward robe nights. When the fire bell rang last night he sprang np and began a hasty but futile search for his dr that is his un derp well, no matter, anyhow he bad 'e n on. Mr. Jesse Crandall went below on this morning's train and Messrs. Wm. Michell and I. I, Burget leave this afternoon for Portland to attend the Convention of Under takers. Orecon, Washington, Idaho and Southwestern British Columbia will each be represented. These gentlemen will also take this opportunity to visit the exposition while below. Miss Lena Walters, who has been em ployed as a domestic in the family of Hon. . A. McDonald for a tew months, men last ! mbt at 9 o'clock at the house of Air. Chas. Giigard. Death resulted from a lesion of the brain. Those who knew her best, speak in no stinted words of her bright, brave nature and the lovable character which won for her especially the trust and affection of the little ones whose daily companion she was. A visit to the court house this morning and a few moments chat with the county officials developed nothing beyond the fact that the license niatket is extremely dull albeit they bought a whole basketfull of wolfscalps yesterday which were evidently very dead. Peace reigns over the whole establishment since the Sherman Co. con tingent has left with their pestiferous argu ments, and Old Tom is as hungry, Dick as sleepy and Curg as handsome as ever. It ia no more than simple justice to say for Columbia Hose Co. that the repairs now in progress on the engine house necessitated the temporary removal of the hose carriage to the side of the building opposite to where it generally stands. As man after man came np on the run and found the door of the customary stall open and iio cart there, they supposed it already at the fire and tore on down the street. Through the exertions of Mr. Jos. VYorsley a dozen of the boys, who were vainly hunting for the carriage on the street, were brought back and although late, good and timely work was done. They got their water from the O. R. & N. Go's plug. Any fire department which saves a light, dry, wooden building, such as the Sun building, with only an 18-foot alley be tween it and a tinder box all ablaze, like that of last night's fire, deserves lots of credit. At a few minutes before 2 o'clock this morning a fie alarm was turned in. It proved to be the house just across the alley from tbe Sun . office occupied by Bertie Smith. The first stream of water on the flames was from J. H. McDonouph'a hese, followed almost immediately by Jackson Engine Co. No. 1, with Columbia Hose close at their heels. Tbe house was com pletely gutted, the inmates losing furniture and wearing apparel. For a time it seemed as if the Sun building was bound to go, but by steady good work the fire department, with efficient aid from the citizens, suc ceeded in confining the flames to the build ing in which they originated. The origin of the fire is at presant in doubt. There are whispers as to probable incendiarism, bat no clue sufficiently definite to be fol lowed np has been obtained. The fire de partment is to be congratulated on so for tunate a termination to two firei, both in framo ranges, within so short a time. From Wednesday's Daily. Capt. Jaa. A. Varney, who went below to attend the fair last Monday, is expected home to-day. A marriage license was issued yesterday to Mir. George W. Gilmer and Miss Minnie Bussenshut. A vile smell, particularly noticeable i mornings and evenings, afflicts the bluff, east of the academy. Mrs. William McCov, who has been visit ing friends in Portland, returned home to - day on tbe noon train. Another little sprinkle of rain helps to keep down the dust and freshen the air. The clouds still threaten. Either the cow ordinance, or the weather, or something else has constrained the vagrant cows to behave theinselyes. There was no meeting of the board of trade last night, owing largely to the con spicuous absence of eyery one or words to that effect. Deputy United States Marshal Schutz leaves to-day for the Warm Springs Agency on official business. He will return on Sat urday or Sunday.' The cause of the temporary failure in the incandescent lights last evening was a broken belt at tbe engine house. The break . was quickly repaired and the inconvenience "was but slight. Wo had a brief call to-day from Mr. R. J. Parke, who represents the firm of Mighell & Richards, of San Francisco, agents for the Chicago Safe & Lock Co. The owners of tbe impounded animals walked promptly up to the captain's ollice and settled, and the pound is as empty ts last years' bmi's-nest. The workmen have put in to-day full sized French plate glass windows in front of the First National Bank in French & Co's brick range on Second street. Tbe funeral services of Miss Lena Wal ters, whose death was announced in yester ' day's daily, will be held at tbe house of Mr. Charles Giigard on the hill east of the academy, friends are invited. We had a friendly call this morning from .! Ji F. Jordon, late of Fossil, who is about to locate in Klamath county. He reports the drouth as having afflicted the latter portion of the country badly this summer. The Rev. W. G. Simpson is improving after a long, serious and weary siege. We hope he is on the up grade to health and ttreugth and usefulness again. The friends of Miss Nettie Butts will be glad to hear of her recovery. While teach ing at the Warm Springs she was taken sick, and for a time her recovery seemed hopeless. She returned home yesterday. Persons coming in from the country re port that we have been more blessed than our neighbors at Wapinitia. Scarcely any rain fell beyond Dufur, and the nearer The Dulles the greater the amount of rainfall. The wood piles about the business houses and in the yards of residences are beginning to loom up. Apropos of business houses, why not remove some of these unsightly empty boxes from the sidewalks? They are by no means sightly, and besides they are quite an obstruction to navigation. One of our exchanges publishes the fol lowing local: "John O. Tupper lately lest a pig; ate supper all right and was found dead next morning." How did John lose the pig? Was it John or the pig who ate the supper? and was it John or the pig or the supper that was found dead the next morn ing. The Arm & Hammer Soda Company are advertising in a novel way. An agent yes tei day gave away large numbers of caps blue and white bearing the advertisement of the company conspicuously displayed. Many ot tbe town ur-jbins are making peri patetic advertisements of themselves in this way. The teachers of the Wasco Independent Academy wish to thank Mr. Kinersly, of Suipes & Kinersly, for the human skeleton presented by him to the institution, lhe nnmber of pupils now in attendance is quite large. Miss Lilian Hyde, teacher of arc, is ready to meet pupils on Wednesdays, Fri days and Saturdays. About two score people gathered in Mrs, Brooks' pleasant parlors last evening ia at' tendance npon the regular meeting of tbe Chatauqna Literary Circle. The evening was pleasantly and ' profitably passed in discussing Dr. O. W. Holmes anil his liter ary work. Society is the better, and life the pleasanter for just such hours of recrea tion and mental contact and association. Mr. Oliver, of Portland, who is suryey inu for a practicable line for piping a water supply, left last week with his. assistants. The country between Newell creek and some three other branches ot the east fork of Hood river ;nd this city will be examined Mr. Case, mho is one of the party, reports that the preliminary survey, which made tbe distance about 15 miles, will undoubtedly be lessened. Crandall & Burget have on exhibition in their window a very handsome plush maroon divan which bears the card, "To be raffled for at the Catholic Fair." It is a very handsome piece of work. An equally ele gant piece of furniture in the shape of a spring rocker stands in the window of Printz & Nitschke. It is of the same color and material, and ia to ba disposed of in the same manner. . Mr. E. B. Dufur's new house on Fulton street is a decided addition and improve ment to that portion of the city. It is rest ing on a solid foundation too. When we used to notice the long piece of well built stone wall stretching eastward from his house we wondered as to its use, until the conviction gradually settled upon our mind that he was building a stone corral tor the dogs he once described so feelingly in these columns; but we learn now that the wall is to be like that in front of the new house, the solid foundation and frontage of two more neat and handsome residences to be built by the same enterprising gentleman. The various new buildings in the city are rapidly approaching completion. The Vogt block cn becond street, the Armory bund ing aud the Opera house all will before very long e ready throughout tor occupation. Mr. I. C. Niskelsen's beautiful structure on the corner of Third and Washington has had the cornices and casings painted, and the workmen are busily engaged upon tho outside in pencilling, aud ou the inside in putting on the hard finish. The upper story will be bnished as a hall. We do not be lieve that there is a building for business put noses on the coast which will excel it tor beauty of architecture, or tasty and ele gant finish. Mr. Edwards as already no ticed has moved into ins new place, and the building of Mrs. C. L. Phillips on Third, between Court and Union, will soon be ready for occupation. On Second stiyct, east of Washington, French & Co. are mak ing large improvements in their brick block. Workmen are removing the battlement or fire wall from the top and, shoring up the building preparatory to putting in hand some plate glass fronts along the whole block. The residences of Mr. George Ruch and Mr. Virgil Bolton are fast growing into things of beauty and a credit to the town. Blasting too aod removal of the rock is go ing on rapidly at the East End for the new depot. A glance at the register of the Umatilla House this morning showed us among others -the name of G. M. Stroud. Who is there who used to patronize the first rail road that Oregon ever had, that will not re member old "Pap" Stroud, the oldest rail road conductor in the state? In those old early days of railroading here, when the trains carried a cowcatcher behind to keep cattle from running over the train, when the "urbane and gentlemanly" conductor stop ped at all cross roads yes, and betweeu them too for tbe accommodation of the lazy rancher, when the. baggage, express, mail and smoker were all under one roof, Geo. McDowell Stroud was the chief among tbe employees, and his jolly face rnd portly figure were known to every dweller aloDg the line from Portland to the south.ru ter minus. But "Pap" Srroud railroads it no more. We are reminded, in speaking of him, of an incident which occurred at Eu gene City while he made his temporary headquarters there. For some reason or other, the Eugene fire department con cluded to make him a present give him a' testimonial as they called it. So they hunted until they found a specimen of laur el which was fantaitira'ly gnarled and twisted until it bore no resemblance to any thing earthly, had a tinmau mount it with an enormous highly polished head about a foot long and called, it a cane. Upon the bright tin head they had engraved a legend which began "Presented to G. McStroweli Dowd" and then went on to enumerate an endless Rtring of his imaginary services. Of course there was a presentation, and speech making, and things to eat, and possibly thiugs to drink. Any way the cane cost Mr. Stroud a fair sum before he got through with it. His form ia a little fuller, his hair a little grayer, but his heart is as large and his laugh as jolly as when he shouted all aboard, or waved his hand to tbe man in the cab. From Thursday's Daily. Mr. Ray Davis is steadily improving. Mr. A. A. Bonuey returned from below on the noon train. Tbe repairs to the bridge in front of the fire department building are about comple ted. Tho docket at the first term of the circuit court for Sherman county, is reported very light. The blasting for the foundation at the east -end of town sounds once in awhile like a young cannonade. Mr. P. T. Crum went below on last night's train to attend the fair. He will return Saturday or Sunday. Mr. Koontz informs ns that Dr. Koontz, of Wasco, who has been aillictcd with ty phoid feyer, is recovering. There is no change in the condition of Rev. Mr. Simpson. Since his fever has broken, his appetite has returned. A young man strolled quietly into Cran dall & Burgett's furniture house yesterday, and mildly inquired for smoking tobacco. A stroll on the beach this morning showed the reporter very little wood banked. There is some lnmlier, bnt not nearly as much as usual. We find on our table t'lis morning a new weekly eutitled the San Francisco Globe marked X in blue pencil. All right, Bro's Dolan. Notices are being appended to various trees about town, bearing the inscription, "Do not tie your horses here" or somethine to that effect. The case of the United States against A. K. Bonzey for selling liquor to Indians is set for trial in the U. S. district court for Tuesday, Oct. 15. Don't forget that you can buy tickets to day. round trip, good for seyen days, for $4.75 includiug admission to the fair, or for five days for $4 05. The west-bound train was late, as usual yesterday, it is to be devoutly hoped that rain enough will soon fall, to keep the mi gratory sand in one place. Services will be held by the Rev. A. Horn, pastor of the Lutheran "church, in the newly b.iilt school room on Ninth street next Sunday at half past two P. M. E. O. The east-l onnd passenger tr un w-a dalayed for a i hort time at The Da' es Tuesday morning by a tire, in which a large wocdsn building was destroyed. Hose bad been stretched across the track by the fire- men, and it was some time before the train was enabled to pas. It arrive! in due sea son, however, making a rapid trip between 1 he Dalles and 1'endleton Mr. Leroy, the baritone player at last night's conce.it, is a thorough master of the instrument, a former leader of a band and a first-class all round musician. He is in the employ of the O. R. & N. Co., at the snops. The new school house on tho hill will be occupied Monday. The first and second grades, Miss Lang and Miss Phirman teachers, will remove to mat ouuaing. Mr. Sam Klein has moved bis stock of second hand goods from the building on Union, between First and Second, to the auction rooms next door to the express othce, Another case of typhoid is reported, from the east end ot town, on the .brewery mil, It is a five-year-old boy, the child of Mr, Brown, the brick layer. Dr. Boyd is in at tendance. The Rev. C. C. Bateman lectured on temperance last night, in the Baptist church, to a small but appreciative audience. Tbe band concert and other happenings helped to reduce the number of his hearers. The whistle of the little portable engine. which runs the circular saw, scared our tore. man to-day. It seemed that the steam got to escaoinar when it had no business to, and Turner imagined it to be a first class fire alarm. A drunk, name unknown, paid the costs in the recorder's court this morning and was discharged. Another unfortunate Of the the fame class, named Campbell, in default of $5 and costs, is assisting the street com missioner to clean our thoroughfares. At tbe raffle at the East End saloon last night for the horse put up by S. E. Farns, C. F. Williams was the lucky man throw ing 43. jCity Marshal Gibons, night watch man ljuentin and several others were camp ing close on his trail with totals of 42 each . Hon. T. W. Slusher, receiver of the land office here, is again so unwell as to be obliged to go out to his farm for recreation and recovery. When he returns he will be accompanied by his family. His place is filled during his absence by Mr. Geo. Mor gan. To-day's Oregonian contains the marriage notice of Mr. Joseph MacEachern and the lady of his choice. A large circle of ac quaintances and friends will join with ns in congratulations and good wishes for the re cently wedded pair. If one can judge from appearances a fearful day of reckoning awaits our friend Mac, at the bands of the grand tin-pan-oni-on, upon his return. The open air concert last night was well attended and we think it was well worth the attendance. Owing to the serious ill ness of Rev. Mr. Simpson the place was changed to the corner of Second and Wash ington. The programme was adhered to as published. Applause greeted each effort and the fifth number was encored. Tbe baud responded with a repetition of the same air. Two cornets, an alto and the trombone were absent, leaving but seven pieces, besides the tenor and snare drums two B flat cornets, two E flat altos, a tenor, a baritone and a bass. More power to you boys. We hope for a weekly treat of this sort right along. We find the following in Bro. Snyder's Observer: "Take a United States bill of aby denomination and hold it up to the light and you will see two lines running entirely across it lengthwise. Upon examination you will find each of these to consist of a silk thread, a red one and a blue -one. Every genuine bill has this mark of genuine ness. Without these marks a bill may be put down as counterfeit, no matter how good the engraving on it. No paper mill dare make that sort of paper, and that is the government's only protection on its cur rency." How on earth do you know? Do you mean to say that you ever had a really aud truly government wiliiaci? Is it exactly right when a man, cn one of the most serious occasions of his life, is sur rounded by friends, in the privacy of his own home circle, that he should be inter rupted by a rude ring at tbe door bell, fol lowed by an irruption of one or more boys, who fhould ere that time have been quietly sleeping, with the impudent demand for coin to appease them, supplemented by the implied, if not spoken, threat that failing this, they will do all in their power to create pandemonium in the way of noise. And these are net hoodlums, mind yon, but the children of respectable citizens, men and women who, as Mark Twain says "average pretty so-so." Keep the boys where they belong, during the evening at least, and vou will miss many a thorn in your own pillow, many an unavailing regret, when it is too late. Tbe Humane Society had its first case yesterday. It seems that a kind hearted city official found a tiny, wee bit of a sick kitten wailing piteoualy on the street near the court house, aud took it in to tbe sher iff's office. The assessor transferred it irom the sheriff's to the clerk's office. A solemn council held there resulted in carrying the sufferer to the house of one of the officers of the society, not far awav. Here it was alternately baked in tbe oven', and fed npon warm milk, and finally returned to the court house. A secoud council of war de cided that it would be a mercy to put the poor thing to death. A towei and some chloroform were called into requisition, and with solemn pomp aud amid the plash ot many tears the short lived sufferer was laid away in the back yard Requics CAT in pace. Mr. D. L. Cates and Miss Alice DcHuff were tbe high contracting parties in a mar riage ce.remony last evening at the house of the biide's father, Mr. P. DeHuff. Rev. E. D. Sntcliffe was the officiating clergyman. Soon after the ceremony was performed the usual delegation of urchins waited npon a friend of the groom at the front door, and were promply negotiated with to tbe exteut of tl'.eir desires. At about half past ten the 3d Rcgt. Band, quietly assembling in front of the house, treated their comrade and his friends to some choice selections cf music. They were invited in, and regaled with good things. The newly married pair went down to Portland on the midnight train. They will be absent about a week. May their way lie through but few of life s rough places, and even these be smoothed by the Hand that blends the sorrow and joy in life's chalice. From Friday's Daily. Capt Houghton reports only 13 men of C Company out for drill last niht. Mr. H. Herbring returned from Portland and a brief sojourn at the fair, last night. Mrs. M. T. Nolan left on yesterday's train to attend the exposition in Portland. Mr. En 'h Glenn, who has been visiting Portland and the great fair, returned last night. We were'glad to see Mr. and Mrs. Mac Eachern on the streets this morning. . They returned from below on last night's train. The grand lodge of Knights of Pythias in its session just concluded at Astoria, elected Mr. C. E. Bavard.of this city, grand prelate, whatever that may oo. If you don't believo that we have some good judges and connoisseurs in chewing gum among the printers, just drop iuto the Office and keep your ears open. Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Bradshaw left to-day for the valley. Mrs. Bradshaw will go to Lafayette to visit her mother, who is quite ill, and will be accompanied as far as Port laud by Mr. Bradshaw. Mr. J. B. Crossen will sell to-morrow at 11 o'clock, at his auction rooms on Wash ington street, next to tho express office, a choice lot of household furniture, and also the remainder of the goods of B. Blumauer. The driver of the stage on tbe Prineville and Canyon City road tells us that it rained steadily and hard all of Wednesday night at Bakeoyen. lie also says that the rain has improved the condition of the road wonderfully. The reporter the other day erred in say ing that Sam Klein hail moved his place of business next door to the express office. The rooms next door to the express office are occupied by J. B. Crossen as an auction house. Mr. iLlein s new place of business is one door further north. Miss Henrietta Moore, a talented and able advocate ot temperance, will address the people of The Dailes on that subject, next Monday evening, at half-past seven, at the Congregational church. The speaker is nnder the auspioes of the W. C. T. U., and is well spoken of. Mr. Jerry Patterson, book-keeper for A. M. Williams & Co., who has earned an out ing, by giving up his summer vacation, started last night by way of Pendleton and Walla Walla for the City of Pasco. If be likes the place he will probably buy it. If not be will go on by the Northern to the Sound cities, and return by way of Portland and the fair. Messrs. R. F. Gibons and Geo. H. Thomp son, of this county, and Jndge O. M. Scott, of Sherman county, compose the commis sion to adjust the financial conditions be tween Wasco and Sherman counties. They were in session three days last week, and will meet again on Monday next to con tinue their labors. The adjournment is owing to the fact that this court week in Sherman county. Messrs. L L Burget and E. J, Crandall returned last night from Portland, where they have been in attendance npon the meeting of the Association of Undertakers. Mr. Burget reports having bad an unusually fine time at the fair and association DOtn. He says that fully 12,000 people were in at tendance at the Exposition building on Wednesday, the evening of the wedding. The attention of those who are interested, is particularly called to the advertisement ot Assesror uouriay, in anoiner column. Mr. Gourlav has been unwearied in his ef forts to see every property holder, in their own interest too, has often met with rebuff. (in at least one instance being taken tor a book acent). and it will be to the interest of those who have offsets in the way of in debtedness or exemptions, to call upon him at once. We do not believe that many of the resi dents of The Dalles have any idea of the amount of stock that is shipped from this point east. AbDut one hundred car loads of sheep have gone irom uere to nicagu luib summer, besides other live stock. And this is a branch of farm industry that there is no danger of over doing. We have the stock and the area to keep and grow them npon, and there is money in the business, even if outside range is exhausted. A team of horses attached to a wagon loaded with wheat and standing in front of the Diamond Mills, took fright at the rapid firing of blasts this morning, and started ofif on the run. They managed to effect a complete turn in safety, and without the assistance of Mr. Moore," the driver, who, when he found their heads turned east, jumped out, as he had business in town, aud besides he lives in Klickitat. They ran rapidly up Second street and down the grade to the river road. A man was despatched after them on horseback, and as when last seen everything was holding to gether, the probabilities are that no great damage will be done. Those who scanned the list of names in the Oregonian yesterday under the heading "Embryo Websters and Clays," were doubt less surprised to notice that the name of Mr. Frank Menefee was omitted. We were sat isfied that the mistake was the result of tho reporters carelessness. And so it proves to have been. Mr. Menefee had more ,than the usual number of the written questions allotted to him, twenty-eight in all. He answered every one correctly, and was per sonally complimented by the presiding Judge of the supreme court upon his exami nation. Our friend Frank has worked hard and conscientiously, and we rejoice at his reception of a well merited compliment from so high a source. It is an interesting sizht to watch the workmen eneaied in blasting out the rock for the foundation of the new depot at the East Eud. ' 'Ajpart of a stick of giant pow der is laid upon one of the great fragments ot already displaced rock which litter the gronnd. A few handfuls of mud aie daubed over it to hold it and the fuse in place, and when half a dozen of them are thus fixed, tne attached futes are lighted, and a series of explosions follows, accompanied by a pattering shower of fine fragments which to one standing under an awning, is very sug gestive of the first heavy drops ot a sum mer shower. A large fragment of rock, weighing hundreds of pounds, was this morning flung clear across all the tracks to ward the river. The O. K. Restaurant keeps all its windows, up stairs and down, barricaded with heavy board shutters. Liw, Bunincss and Suspenders. For some time three prominent society gentlemen a popular county official, a promising young attorney, aod a genial, en terprising, busiuess man in tbe line of goods for men's wear only have attracted much of the attention of the inquisitive, on ac count of the popnlar belief that they were about to exchange conditions of compara tive independence for the state of servitude in which a man is bound to get up after re tiring to put out the cat, or perhaps to let her ia, to be sure he locked the front door, or after his first few moments of delicious slumber, to be gently reminded that he for got to look under the bed. Well, the trium virate is broken. On the principle that the last shall be first, the business man will re turn from below in a day or two, we under stand, with a partner of his sorrows and joys. As to the iismg young barrister, above re ferred to, we fear that for the present at least, other matters entirely engross bis at tention. He is afflicted just now with some kind ot a new-fangled suspender that scarce ly gives him time to eat, and it he had to sleep with them oo, we balieve he would, like the Indians sack of flour, "last plitty quick." Every time he bends over, as the editors little girl says, "they com 3 from 'getlier," and then he is all broken up and suspicious of society, until he can find some secluded spot to free his over-burdened soul and re-establish connections. This puts him for tho present practically out of the field. For the remaining member of the trio we have hopes,especially as he must know that the eye of the public, which be serves, is npon hiin. Seriously, we hope to congratulate all of the three ere long, and in a month s time to meet each ot tnem happy and content and wearing that tamed, subdued expression always characteristic ot the married man. A Sail Oceurrance. Salem Journal. The death of Thomas Willis, the young lad who was kicked by a horse Sunday evening, about 6 o'clock, was a singular one. In the evening Mr. Willis told his son, a boy 11 years of age, to catch a horse, which had always been gentle, and put it in the stable. This the boy started to do and he went a few rods from the door and attempt ed to catch tbe animal. The horse started to run but he succeeded in stopping it. As he did so it whirled around and kicked him in the stomach, knocking hiin down. He got np and started to meet his mother, but fell to the ground. He was carried into the house by his brother. His father asked him if he wanted a doctor and he said be did not. He suffered considerably until morning, when his father said, "lom mie, do you want a doctorf ' He again antwered that he did not, that he felt bet ter, and got up. After awhile he said he felt good and bis father started to get some wood for the fire when he heard him groan. Mr. U lllia weut to him and saw he was dying and sent for a neighbor. The poor boy grasped his mother by the hand and said: "this is mother, (looking at her) and this is father." He theu turned his face tovard the neighbor that had arrived, and called him by name. . His mother asked him if he was prepared to die, and he an swered, that if he died cow, be would go to heaven, and he passed off shortly without much pain. He expressed bis desire to die. when he was suffering the first night. "Little Tomnne," as he was familiarly called, was a bright boy and will be missed by many friends and playmates. The John Hay Fossil Fields. The first knowledge given to the world of the extensivo deposits in the region near the John Day river was from the researches of Prof. Thos. Condon, who, for several years was stationed at The Dalles as pastor of the Congregational church. His love of geology as a scieuea was so intense that nearly every summer he spent in the breaks of the John Day and Crooked rivers, and he would return laden with wealth which he prized more highly than Croesus did his lands and bays of gold. He had several specimens of the mastodon, and one or two very hue ones oi tiie nyperion, or mree-toeu horse. Ihese be deposited in bis cabinet, and the student of geology could spend hour after hour here and be amply rewarded for his efforts. During this time he wrote articles for Harper's Weekly and the local press, and the reputation ot iuistcrn Uregon became well knowp. Liter on Mr. Condon went to Eugene City to accept a professor ship in the university, and he took his val uable cabinet witn mm. ine ricniieuisoi fossil remains where the Princeton students spent several weeks during the past sum mer, were nrst discovered by mm, ana the rich deposits classified in their geologi cal epochs.

A VIGOROUS KICK. A. merchant's Wife the Bone of Contention. A Denunciation. A well known merchant who has been greatly oenefitted by Joy's Vecetablo Sarnaparilla, desired to give it to his wife, who was very delicate, bnt jut of caution first consulted his physician, Dr. W. U. Oriswold of 850 Market street, Tbe doctor, who is one of our leading practitioners objected, saying he had never seen a sarsapaxilla that did not contain potash, which thinned the blood; that his patient did not have any vitality to lose, and that what delicate people need is not de creased vitality, but more blood. He consented when assured that Joy's Vegetable EarsapariHa was directly opposed to the old mistaken blood thinning idea of other sarsaparillas, and that on the contrary by specific vegetable alteratives it itimulated the excretory organs, promoted diges tion, and repaired nutrition, hence created uew blood and was the very thing for feeble people. rhe above explains the hundreds of cases la which aged, enfeebled, delicate and run down people, have been built np by Joy's Vegetable Saxsaparilla after the potash sarsaparillas failed. Its effects are creating Mutation, & F. E TELEGRAPHIC. A MANSION BURNED. South Bend, Ind., Oct. 9. The mag nificent stone bouse of Clem Studebaker, which cost about $300,000, was almost entirely destroyed by lire this morniDg The residence was one of the largest and costliest iu the world. The interior was finished in the costliest of native and foreign woods, while it was furnished in the richest style throughout and the art gallery was filled with rare works of art, aod these are all destroyed. Studebukcr was absent as member of the international congress, aud was to have entertained that body in his home the 19th instant. The rest of the family, except Mrs. Studebaker and her grand child, were also away. Mrs. Studebaker discovered fire this morning iu a closet under the rear stair way. It was evidently started by the spontaneous combustion of some old rags the painters had been using and thrown in there. The flames spread all over the building in an incredibly short time. The ser vants had a narrow escape, and Sirs, Studebaker herself was 'found on the terrace almost insensible and dangerously burned, aod clasping her grandchild in her arms. Owing to the careful manner in winch the structure was built it was sup posed to be nearly secure from fire. Studebaker carried but $20,000 insurance. RETURNED FROM CHINA. San Francisco, Oct. 9.

Dr. Allen, for eign secretary to the Corean embassy, is expected to start on a business trip to Corea in regard to matters for the lega tion. He will stop in Ohio a tew days to see his family, and will then proceed to San Francisco, taking the first steam er to Hong Kong. In a conversation about the relations existing between the Corean and Chinese legations here and the rumors that the United Slates proposed sending an envoy to investigate the situation as to the ex act relations of the two countries, be says: ''I wish they would, and then set at test all these idle rumors, but if there is such a step contemplated, we have no intimation iroin the state department to that effect. We certainly would be consulted in rpgard to the matter. The only mention I have heard of it was from Admiral SbufekU, who it is intimated, is to be sent on the delicate mission, which is rather sugges tive. The retired Chinese minister was on the very best of terms with oar lega tion, and there has not been any mention lately of any objection to Corea having a representative there. As to the new minister and Prince Pak, there is the most cordial friendship existing between them, even more than with his prede cessor. 1 think that all of tbe present discussion springs from the meddlesome activity of a citszen of the Uniled States in the employ of tbe Corean government. They are just about finding bim out, and will no doubt soon dispense with hid peculiar service. a convict snoT. Walla Walla, Wt Oct. 10. This morning a convict named Charles Clark, sentenced from Seattle for a term of thirty six years, made an attempt to escape by jumping on tbe brake beam of the train loaded with brick for Spokane Falls. Tbe warden ordered bim off, but he refused to obey. Two guards fired. one ball making a flesh woucd in his arm; the other bullet entered the fleshy part of his leg. He tumbled off when shot, and the doctor who wos called in pronounced the wound in the leg serious, but thought he could save the limb. The wound in the arm was slight. SEATTLE RAILROAD NEWS. Seattle, Oct. 10. Mr. N. G. Dickin son, assistant geotral manag r ot the Nor l hem Pacific, was in the city yester day and to-day, aud arranged with Man ager Nadeau, of the Puget Sound Shore, to run Pullman sleeper and immigrant cars regularly between Seattle ard Chica go, me cars win go attscnea co tne morning tram, and will councct wita the Northern at Puyallup, going through without change. Returning, the train will arrive in Seattle at 9:35 in the morn ing. By this arrangement Eastern pas sengers can buy tickets in Seattle, get aboard tbe cars here, and go direct to Chicago without change. Ssattle will therefore enjoy equal terminal facilities with Portland, and be in exactly the same situation as that city with respect o tbe nominal terminus of the road. Cars will begin to run in about two week. the lake shore. It now looks as though tbe Seattle, Lake Shore & Eastern railroad will be finished to a connection with the branch from the Canadian Pacific railroad by early next summer. A short time since here were seventy-hve miles to nuish from Snohomish north, ten miles ot this has been let, and is being rapidly finished, aud in a short tima the contract for five miles will be let. This will re duce tbe amount to be finished in tbe spiing to sixty miles. No more contracts will be let till early in the spring, ana then the entire sixty miles remaining will be let and finished as speedily as possi ble. The branch running Irom tbe Cana dian Pacific railroad to the British Co luinbia line is bnt twelve miles in length, and can be finished in thirty days. It is now thought that cars will be running from Seattle to the Canadian Pacinc by the 1st of Angust at farthest. . receipts op the state fair. Salem. Oct. 10.

Washington, Oct. 10. Tbe official report of Rear-AdmiralJoueite, president of the board appointed to inspect the steamer Dolphin upon her recent return from the cruise around tbe world, has been received by Secretary Tracy. The report says: '-After a careful in spection I have to report that the Dol phin is in admirable condition, clean and sweet throughout, showing much care and attention on the part of tbo captuin and the executive officers. In a few days ehe will be ready for sea, and alter this a cruise around the world. This vessel has been three years and nine months in com mission. Considering the service per formed and her present admirable condi tion, she is very creditable to the service. I know of no vessel possessing so many qualities and comforts to tbe officers and men." Secretary Tracy said to a reporter of the Associated Press: "The Dolphin was the vessel which it was claimed was struc turally weak. She comes back aftei a cruise of 57,000 miles with not a joint sprung nor a sign of weakness about her anywhere. The Dolphin will do." THE TUG WALLOWA LACKED POWER. Astoria, Oct. 10.

Sitting in the rotunda of the Alexan der Hotel of Louisville, Proctor Knctt last night told this story: "it was the most remarkable scene I ever witnessed. It occured during my early manhood, when I was attorney general of Missouri. K-iliert Stewart was then goveuor of that state. One day I was in ins private oil ce when he par doned a steamboat man for some crime. What it was I have forgotten, but that does not matter. The man had been brought from the penitentiary to the gov ernor's office. Ho was a large, powerful fellow, with tbe rough manners of bis class. "The governor looked at tho steam- boatman and seemed strangely affected. He scrutinized him closely. Finally he signed the document that restored bim to liberty, but as he handed it to bim said : xou will commit sorno other crime aod be in the penilcntiary again, I fear.' Tbe man solemnly promised that he would not. The governor looked doubt ful mused a few moments and said: "You will go back on the liver and be a mate again, I suppose?" "lhe man replied that he would." "Well, I want you to promise me one thing, resumed the governor. 'I want you to pledge your word that when you are a mate again you will never take a billet of wood in your band and drive a sick boy out of a bunk to help you loud your boat on a stormy night. "lhe steamboat man said that be would not and he inquired what the governor meant by asking him such a question! "the governor replied: 'Because some day that boy may become a governor and you may want him to pardob you for a crime. One dark ftormy night many years ago you stopped your boat on the Mississippi to take on a load of wood. There was a boy on board who was working his passage from New Orleans to St. Louis, but he was very sick "f a fever and was lying in a bunk. You bad plenty of men to do tbe work, but you went to that boy with a stick in your hand and drove him, with blows and cur se?, out into tbe wretched night and kept him toiling like a slave until the load was completed. I was that boy. Here is your pardon. Neyer again be guilty of such a brutality- And the man cow ering and biding bis face, went out. As 1 never heara of bim again I sup pose be took care not to break the law." Cattle "Ihlev Cnptnred. Lst Saturday, says th Wallowa Chief tain, five men arrived here irom Wash ington county Idaho, having warrants tor tbe arrest of three men, names unknown, on tbe charge of stealing cattle irom that section. On Monday they arrested, on tbe strength of their Idaho warrants, II. S. Pierce, Charley Day and John Blevans, all of Prairie creek. Pierce claimed that he had purchased the cattle, but be and his companions were obliged to start with tbe officers lor Mt. Idaho. When the party reached Wilson's place at the month of "Freeze Out" creek on the Imnaha, about dusk Tuesday evening, they proceeded to stake out their horses. Pierce, taking advantage of the opportu nity, put spuis to bis noise and started don tbe bill. Alex Watnock, who was with Pierce at the time, shott at him at a distance of about ten paces, whereupon Pierce lumped from bis borate and made for the brush. Another shot was fired alv him, but it is thought he was not struck. The next morning his bat was found on the ground where he escaped. Dav aud Blevans were told that Pierce bad been, killed, and they showed great nervous ness during the night. Blevans promised that as soon as they reached Idaho city he and Day would make a statemement of t' e whole affair, and said that he was satisfied it would go much easier with them if they would plead guilty.

The Polish poet, Henryk Siei.kiwiiz, is making a tour in the Tatra Mcuj tains, where he is collecting a ttore of legeuds, poems and proverbs from th i Gatician peasantry. Their stories about death are cnrioU3ly ongnal. Hero is one of tbe most interesting of them: Once on a time a farmer went from the Tatra toward Nowvtarg, carrying with him his axe and his borer. He had not gone far before an old woman joined bim and be gan to chatter. 1 lie farmer quickly rec ognized that she was no other than Death, whot in tbe legends of Polish Galicia, is always feminine (Ta Smieve). He was naturally anxious to get rid of such a dangerous fcllow-travelt-r as soon as pos sible. S) he bored a holo in the ground and said: "Look in here!'' Death looked in the hole, but could see nothing. ''You must creep into it," said the peasant, "and you will behold a wonderlul sight." So Death went in head-foremost, Tbe peas ant took advantage of the situation and hnstened to fill up the hole. So Death was buried, and ho went on his way re- joicirg. Nobody died 111 that whole dis trict for many long years. At I ait Daatb's gravedigger became so ill and feeble with age that he longed to get out ol tbe world he could no longer enjoy. So he went to Death's grave, restored the old woman to liberty, and she gently put an end to his pains. Last Monday evening at Albuquerque, N.
