The discordant notes of a chariyan
party disturbed the quietude of last night
about 9 o'clock, and these were soon fol
lowed by the sweet tones of the mandolin
and guitar club. The contrast was some
thing very marked; but not more so than
is usual in human affairs. Those who
were thus annoyed and pleased were Mr.
Bailey and his bride nee Cooper and
last night was the occasion of their mar
riage. One of our oldest siwashes in this vicin
ity is Joe Col bar, who was with Lieut.
8heridan at the Cascades in 185K,
with Gen. Wright 'the year following,
and was one of the scouts of Major
Haller when he' was defeated on the
Simcoe. Joe is always good natured,
and bears his age remarkably well con
sidering the long years he has liyed and
the habits he has followed.

Amiel'a Journal asks the question: Ia
death the passage from the successive to the
simultaneous that is to say, from time to
eternity Shall we then auderstand, in its
unity, poem or mysterious episode of our
existence, which till then we have spelled
ont phrase after phrase? This question
must remain unanswered as far as we are
concerned. The great conundrum of this
part of the mundane sphere and its mongrel
inhabitants is, how we can live lone; anil
prosper, and make money while we labor
tor the things which perishetb.

not on the streets.

not as large as it was last year, bnt still the

was down to Portland a day or two, return
ing Tuesday eyening. lie took in tne Dig
Exposition, and remarking about the ex
hibits there, thought Klickitat's display of
fruits was beyond any other locality in ex
cellence. A force of men are engaged in excavating
for the new pipe down Union and other
streets north of the bluff. This plan was
adopted by the commission since the recent
lire, and is a very advisable one, if the old
mains now in the ground will stand the in
creased pressure.
Klickitat Leader: A large quantity of
wheat was hauled on Monday to The Dalles,
wnere good prices were realized. As most
of the wheat was good it fetched 80 cents

An amusing incident of the recent fire in
Walla Walla waa when Jack Macay, at the
risk of bis life, rescued an armful ot patent
office reports from the Union-Journal. Hav
ing taken them to a place of safety he was
told that they were of no value, when he
replied: "Well. I didn't know; I did not
have time to read them.
Wheat is coming in yery lively to the
different warehouses in the city. At
Moody's yesterday large quantities were
received; but the quality is not ot first
tirade. The prices offered range from 50 to
78 cents, this accordiog to condition. We
are sorry to learn the fact that a large por
tion of the wheat in this county ia badly
shriveled, and the best grain received is
from Klickitat county, Wash.
Albany. Democrat: Corvallis issued $10,-

Lord Stanley has promised to do all be
can to have the Dominion of Canada make
creditable exhibit at the Columbian Ex
position. Many prominent Canadians are

department of elecncity of the exposition,
among the delegates to the recent National
Electric Light Association at Montreal.

While the lodge of United W orkmen
were holding an initiation ceremony in the
third story of a society building at Sedalia,
Mo ,' a few nights ago, a sneeze was heard
at one of the windows. The shutters were
thrown open just in time to see the white
robed figure of a woman go scurrying oyer
the adjoining roofs. She was not caught,
bnt her name is known and tronble is prom
ised her. The Knights of Pythias, United
Workmen and Masons nse the same hall,
and the opinion prevails that the woman is
well np in the secrets of these societies.'
Mr. James Campbell, of Fifth Plain,
while out hunting in the northern part of
the connty last week, met his death. He
was shot by his companion, named Parks,
which, to say the least, was a very reckless
piece ot work. During the night Campbell
left the tent unnoticed, and when returning
Parks mistook him for a cougar trying to
make an entrance, and shot him on the
spot. The body was taken into Fifth Plain,
wbere Justice of tne leace Ulark beld an

After Being Buried Three Years.
Oregooian, 7th.
Marion D. Egbert, the well-known South
Bend attorney, yesterday told of the singu
lar recovery of a skeleton. ' "Three years
ago," said he, "a man named Morns, living
at Willapa City, was drowned by the up
setting of his boat while on his way to
Oysterville. The family being only in or
dinary circumstances offered a reward of
$50 for the recovery of the body. Soon
after the drowning the body drifted ashore
and was found by two young men named
Andrews. For the purpose of getting a
greater reward they buried the body1 near
the place where they fonnd it and told no
one of the discovery. Time wore on and
no higher reward was offered. Three or
four days ago a skeleton was washed ashore
near the place where Morris was buried,
and the discovery was brought to the notice
of the family. One of the Morris boys and
Dr. Tait, of Willapa, repaired to the place,
and on making an examination found the
skeleton to be that of the iong-loet Morris.
Dr. Tate, who had been Mornt' attending
physician, identified the skeleton by a frac
tured skull, a split knuckle and the teeth.
The skeleton waa taken back to Willapa
City and given a decent burial."
Eugene Guard: On a telegram from
Sheriff Noland the sheriff of Laramie City,
Wyoming, that be bad arrested one Sime
Hixon and would hold him until called for.
It appears that Hixon and George Feulner,
who lives near Creswell, formed an ac
quaintance a few months ago, and that the
last named party had agreed to pay Hixon's
fare to Laramie and that they would go into
business at that point. They were sleeping
together on Sept. 19th, near Creswell, and
when Feulner went to bed he bad $90 in bis
pocket. Hixon arose early and when Feul
ner got np he fonnd that he had been
robbed. Hixon went to Cottage Grove fend
spent money in that town freely and dis
played to several persons the $90, although
previously he had been "broke." Last
Friday, Hixon left on the early train for
parte unknown. "In a day or two Fenlner
made a complaint before the prosecuting
attorney in Justice Kinsey's court and jthe
sderiff had the prisoner apprehended as
above stated. Hixon has a family in Lar
amie City.
East Oregonian: Sad misfortune has now
twice visited the Palmer family, who re
side west of Birch creek. About a year
ago Wesley Palmer was crushed to death
by a load of rails which be was hauling
from the mountains, and Saturday, Oct
3d, Hiram Palmer died at the home of A.
D. Culp in Camas Prairie from the effects
of an accident received several days pre
vious. He was driving along the road
and got out of the wagon to pick up a
rock. As be did so a pistol dropped from
his pocket and exploded. The ball struck
bis side and ranged upward, inflicting a
bad wound. He was taken to Mr. Culp's
home near by and everything done tor
his relief without result. The deceased,
a son of A. B. Palmer, was aged 24 years.
He and his brother Wesley were indus
trious young men of excellent habits, and
that they should both be cut down in
early flush of manhood is tbe source of
much grief to their family and friends.
J. Barnes, who returned to Portland on
Saturday from Mount Hood, relates the
particulars of a terrible accident which oc
curred a few days since in a remote locality
on the old Barlow road across tbe Cascades.
A young man named Bronson, son of a
mountaineer, was out bunting grouse and
shot one in the top of a small forked tree.
The bird lodged in the branches and tbe
boy olimbed np one of the forks to get it.
When about twenty feet from the ground
he bad occasion to pass across a space from
one fork of the tree to the other, and at
tempted to walk over on a dry limb, which
broke under his weight, and he fell between
the trees, going down feet first. He fell
abont six feet, and hi: head cught between
tbe forks, breaking hit) neck and suspending
bim there until be was fonnd several days
later by a search party, which rescued bis
body and bore it home.

The fearful storm which swept along the
coast the first of last week caused at least
one fatal accident, and two Astoria men
who left here in a plunger are among the
missing. The men. Captain C. M. Turner
and H. E. Johnson, left here . last Sunday
week on a deep sea fishing trip, intending
to remain outside for three or four days.
They crossed out about noon and were seen
that evening by the lookout from the cape
beading for the northward. The next day
the heaviest gale of the season was lashing
the ocean into a foam and sweeping every.
thing before it. The pilot schooner San
Jose is tbe only vessel from here that has
reported since then, and the pilots aboard
state that the gale was the heaviest the
schooner had ever experienced. The wind
at the cape blew 72 miles an hour, and
grave fears were then expressed tor tbe
safety of the fishermen in the plunger, but
nothing definite was known nntil yesterday
whe& a man living at Tokes Point, Wash.,
reported that last Monday, during tho
height of tbe storm, he had seen a plunger
with two men jnst abreast of the point and
the man thought she had rode the gale out.
bat two days later a wrecked plunger came
ashore bottom side np, bet ween Shoal
water cay and Gray a Harbor. There was
no name on it, bnt from the description
given it is thought to be the one in which
Turner and Johnson left this city, and their
friends have given them up as lost. Turner
came here from England abont a year ago
and haa made frequent trips over tbe bar
experimenting with a new fishing gear
known as a beam trawl net. He was about
45 years of age and leaves a wife and four
children in England. His companion,
Johnson, also leaves a tamily. Uoth men
were experienced seamen, but the gale in
which they were caught was two severe
for their frail craft.

East Oregonian: A passenger who came
down Sunday evening on the Spokane
branch, bound for Baker City, fell in with
two scoundrels who gained his confidence
and while be waa waiting for the train' led
him off in tbe dark near the O. & W. T.
railroad track on Webb street. They then
grabbed, choked and struck him, and wbea
he was at their mercy took $25 or $30 from
his person. He was lett with tbis watch, a
certificate of deposit and about $20, which
the thieves failed to find or were in too
much of a hurry to steal. The victim, who
was nnder the influence of liquor, was
fonnd abont 9 o'clock by the officers. He
was bleeding profusely from a bad cut in
Jhe eye and in such a condition that he
could give bnt little information. A dili
gent search was made for the men withont
result. The wounded man was taken to
jail and cleaned np. He refused to give his
name, but ia believed to be an old miner
named Cox, from Baker county.
Since the fire The Dalles has been visited
by all classes and conditions of mankind.
The fire and life insnrarce agents are seen
upon our streets, and also other persons
who imagine in this, onr time of adversity,
there is an opportunity to reap a harvest.
During the history of this city, it has suf
fered from fire in 1866. 1867, 1870, 1880,
J882, 1888 and 1891 and from floods in 1866,
1876 and 1880, and bas survived all these
disasters. In 1871 all buildings except
the residence of Prof. Condon were lev
elled to tbe ground ; in 1879 all business
houses east of Washington and north of
Third, west to Court and to the river were
a mass of smouldering ruins, and tbe
freshets of 1866, 1876, and 1880 flooded the
streets to the court house block on the cor
ner of Third and Court streets. After each
of these disasters The Dalles baa gone for
ward and built up the demolished structures
and been a better town than . ever before.
Now, when she has an opposition boat on
the river, is projecting railroads to the in
terior, and is acknowledged to be the lead-
city in the Inland Empire, a million dollars
gone np in smoke will not cripple her re
sources or stop her in the onward road of
prosperity. Grit, pluck, energy and enter
prise win accomplish wonders, and we are
satisfied our business men possess these and
will exert them to the advantage of Tbe
Dalles and vicinity.
L L. Burtenshaw, the attorney, who
was arrested in Coos county and taKen to
Jacksonville on a charge of embezzle
ment, has given bail for his appearance
in court next December. Specifications
of the charge not having been made pub
lic, it will be of interest to know on what
grounds the arrest was made. Burten
shaw undertoos to collect some insurance
money for a widow, whose son had died
leaylng an insurance policy. The com
pany refused to pay, and Burtenshaw ex
hibits letters written to h.m during the
progress of the case promising him a
large fee. He claims that be was verbal
ly promised one-half of the whole amount,
or $00. When the claim was finally
paid Burtenshaw retained this amount,
and tbis is the sum he is charged with
embezzling. As between a lawyer and a
widow, human sympathy will always be
with the latter. In this case, certainly,
$6U0 seems to be a large fee to charge a
poor widow who has already been de
prived oi the comfort and support of a
son. Oregonian. This young man was
formerly a resident of The Dalles, at
tended tne Wasco Independent Academy,
was a strict member of the Y. M. C. A.
and was considered an exemplary citi
zen by the prohibitionists of tnis city.
Undoubtedly he still holds to his princi
ples of total-abstinence; for these do not
stop him from robbing the widow and
fatherless, from defrauding his neighbor
or taking advantage of the duplicity of
his friends. These are simply rules of
business, and can be followed by the
Good Templar without the least violation
of the obligation he -as assumed.
Herald: On the night of Septemper 30th
a man was killed on the railroad track
abont three miles this side of Setas. He
was standing or walking on the track when
he was struck by an extra east-bound
freight, and knocked into the ditch. His
throat was cot and skull crushed, and death
must have been instantaneous. Coroner
Clark was notified, hut tor some reason,
which will bear enquiring into, be was on-
able to get on to the caboose which was in
structed to pica mm np, and aa a conse
quence he did not leave for the scene of the
accident until Friday afternoon, and all
this time the body of the "dead man was ly
ing in the ditch where it waa thrown by the
pilot of the engine.
The government locks at the Cascades are
going np at the rate of a foot and a half per
day. The lower gate will be completed by
the middle of next month. Heretofore the
work has been slow, as it was all under
water, but now they can hurry it. Tbe
south gate is completed and tbe north one
is np probably a third of the way twenty
feet. The building of these great locks is a
magnificent piece of work which, when
completed, will stand as a monument to the
engineering skill ef the age. The gates,
hen bung, will be the largest lock gates
in the world, being 93x40 feet, and weigh
ing 130 tons. - They are of steel and are to
swing on giant binges. .
Union-Journal: A man came staggering
into Kirk s stable on South Main street
about 5 o'clock Tuesday eyening, and the
men in the stuble thinking he was drunk,
put him to bed. While the men were busy
grooming and watering the stock in Mr.
Kirk's stable the would-be drunk got np,
saddled Mr. Ed. Vail's horse, which waa in
the stable at the time, and decamped for
parts unknown. He left a coat, vest and
f 10 m charge of Mr. Crowder. The man
gave bis name as H. L. Black. Judge Tay
lor issued a warrant for bis arrest. Deputy
Sheriff Dolt started in pursuit of the pur
loiner of eqnine flesh.
Xhe Uregon Uoal and .Navigation com
pany s outDouna steamer Arago, luuu tons
capacity. Captain A. Donaldson, went
ashore on the south spit, near Gnano rock,
at the entrance to Coos bay, Saturday at
11 o'clock. She bad a cargo of coal and
miscellaneous freight. All the passengers,
fifteen in number, were rescued by the life-
saving crew stationed three miles from the
scene of the disaster, after several hour'
bard labor.. Only for their having been
stationed at this point there is no assurance
that the passengers could have been saved.
Eugene Guard: The Southern. Pacific rail
road company is having all the trestles be
tween Ashland and Grants Pass filled by
contract. Enckson & Co. are doing the
work with scrapers, taking earth from
alongside the line. They are pushing the
work energetically, and will have their con
tract completed within a month. The earth
is hauled from Bloody Run, where a steam
shovel is at work making an excavation
which will reduce the curve there. At
Lake Labish 1250 feet of trestle is being
filled with scrapers, and the remainder will
be newly piled.
