composed. Doctors, municipal author
ities and inhabitants generally,are fleeing
from the town. No disinfectants are
obtainable.. General ccnfusion prevails.

showed the cholera at Baku and in Tyn-t
was less virulent tban the true Asiatic
cholera. He thought the gravity of the
outbreak had been exaggerated, that the
cliseasu would eoon be checked by am
try measures, and that tlnr was no
need of fear or apprehension of its spread
to Eurtipe.

How tbe Fourth, of J-Jly
Cele-
brated In lMftreat Towns
Conn'y.
m the
THE dalles.
Another Fourth has come and gone. Tbe
patriotism of the nation has fonnd ita vent
id oratory, music and gunpowder and every
one was pleased. The Dalles celebrated
royally. Witb tbe first rays of the sun the
anvils announced the country's birthday,
and its glorification began. Tbe Dalles has
decked itself in holiday attire many times
before, but never has there been such a pro
fusion of coloring nor such a general wav
ing of tbe stars and stripes as on this tbe
fourth of '92. Second street from west to
east was a double line of red, white and
blue, and business houses bad vied with
each other in tasty decoration. Long
streamers of bunting were twined from post
and awning, and in many of the show win
dows skillful lingers bad arranged pleasing
displays. The Dalles has a reputation for
windy Fourths' and yesterday its reputa
tion was most admirably sustained. All
day the wind blew along the streets, whicb
had they not been well watered would have
been very disagreeable and disastrous to
those attired in white dresses. A great
many of country folk arrived in the morn
ing and the east end of town was thick witb
wagon t; the customary delegation of war-
paiuted Indians, with their gaudy blankets
and gaily decked witb beads, were here,
too, and enjoyed the proceedings as if it
were all for tbero alone.
At 10 A. M. the procession started down
Second street between sidewalks thronged
thick with people. The militia and The
Dalles band were at its bead followed by
some of the secret orders of the town. A
novel feature and one that called forth at
teution were the Woodmen some fifty
trong each one packins an axe on bis
shoulder and following all came their float,
huge log bearing an axe such as Hercules
might have wielded, but none since, and al
together making a tasty get up. The firm
of Jos. T. "iters & Co. were on hand witb
four largo wagons, each representing some
industry. One of their floats was a scow in
miniature ith mast, sails and cabin, with
little Iudian boy for captain. A log witb
wood -choppers represented the milling in
ustry, and different kinds of lumber in I
pretty arrangement told of their lumber in
terests. This firm showed admirable enter
prise and were rewarded with frequent ex
previous f praise. Mater & Benton were
there, too, with an exhibit honoring any
procession. A float with a tin shop in full
blast represented, no small amount of work,
and the gentlemen deserve credit for their
display. The calliope of John Booth was
ingenious and many people wondered if it
were real. Filloon Bros, had a traction en
gine under a full bead of steam, drawing a
train of agricultural machines, making
showy exhibit. The effort of the Carpen
ters' Local Dniou and Win. Butler was ar
tistic and excited many favorable comments,
Space does not permit us to mention all tbe
exhibits, but it is enough to say that tbey
were of a high order of merit. Tbe parade
wound up at the court bouse where the lit
erary exercises were to be. held. Judge
Bradshaw, as president of tbe day, intro
duced Rev. Mr. Curtis.wbo returned praises
to Almighty God for his protecting care and
plenteous blessings to our nation. Mr. N.
J. Siunott read tbe Declaration of Inde
pendence in ilea" and forcible manner,
adding to the dignity of that grand docu
ment tbe fire "and energy of yonth. Hon.
Gilbert J. McGinn, the orator of the day,
wfs introduced, and delivered an oration
which called forth repeated applanse and
waa pronounced by all an effort seldom
equaled. He rapidly and with telling em
phasis traced our country's history, eulo
gized its statesmen, and while praising its
greatness yet spoke of tbe dangers attend
ant with prosperity. Mr. McGinn was the
recipient of much congratulation at the
close of bis address.
There was a large crowd present to wit
ness tbe hose tournament in the afternoon,
which were very exciting and interesting.
The trophy was won by the Mt. Hood Hose
Company, who beat the Columbia a by a
quarter of a second. The crowd enjoyed
the sport and greatly appreciated the work
done by the different companies.
Boat races were held in the afternoen at
tended by crowds who watched from tbe
railroad bridges.
.Id tbe evening the fireworks went up and
lightened the tky to the amusement of the
older ones and tbe delight of the little fel.
lows. .The display was set off from tbe
head of Court street and was easily seen
from all parts of town. The Fourth went
off in a blaza of glory.and the time-honored,
but etill uootul characterizition, can be
given it the most successful celebration we
have ever had. .
The anniversary of the nations birth
day was properly celebrated in Wasco
county, and will be an event long to be
remembered.
AT THB LOCKS.
At the Locks the day opened clear end
pleasant, witb tbe exception of a heavy
wind, which, we understand, is usual at
tbis season of tbe year. On tho morning
train parties arrived fro.n The Dalles,
Hood River and other points east to take
part in tbe celebration. Tbe little town
was tastefully decorated with tbe na
tional banting, and a large flag was dis
played at lull mast from tbe government
works. At 1 1 o'clock, on tbe arrival of
tbe Port'and train, having on board visi -tors
from Troutdale, Lattourelle, Bridal
Veil and tbe Portland .National band,
tbe procession formed at the depot,
headed by tbe . musicians, followed by
Cascade Lodge, No. 104, 1. O. O. F,
under charge of the Noble Grand, R H.
Birnie, and citizens,, marched to the
grounds, whicb was a grove of fir trees,
which sheltered tbe people from tbe son,
and through which a cool breeze circu
lated. Arriving at the grounds tbe exer
cise began, consisting of patriotic songs,
music by tbe band, oration and addresses.
Tbe address of welcome and tbe Declara
tion of Independence were' read by Mr.
E. C. Wiley, superintendent of tbe gov
ernment works, and the oration by Mr.
John Michell, editor of this paper. ' After
tbe exercises, a basket picnic was partook
of by tbe citizens and numerous visitors.
In tbe afternoon tbe games attracted
great attention, and all seemed to enjoy
tbe sport. .The following are tbe names
of tbe successful contestants: 'Tag of
war between Odd Fellows and Koigbts
ot Pythias, tbe former victorious. Young
men's race, William Stratton notorious.
In the young ladies race, Miss Katie
Hogan was first and Mrs. Walt second, and
in the tog of war between the stonecutters
and. town, tbe .latter was successful.
Willie Weber secured the prize in the
boya' race. Old man's race Mr. Jos.
Richardson was first and Dr. A. H Lear-
ens second. F. Leavens won the sack
race, and Mamie Welch tbe little girls'
race under 12 years old. Again tbe tag
cf war was inaugurated, sod tbis time
the single men beat the married men,
Tbe younger boys race was won by
Sailor, and tbe girl's race by Bridgy
Conlon. A tbree-legged race waa decid
ed in faver of Thompkius and Ance. As
a fitting finale to tbe entertainment, the
greased pig was canght by Mr. George
Wait. Tbe ball in tbe evening was
largely attended and very many were
present from different towns on tbe rail
road, ibe celebration was a very suc
cessful one, and great credit is due Mr.
E. C. Wiley, who took the management,
and be never undertakes anything with
oat making it a success."
AT BUFUR.
The fourth at Dufur waa an event long to
be remembered, and the citizens feel proud
of their successful effort. Very early in the
morning, the citizens were aroused by the
firing of anvils. At a seasonable hour
procession formed and proceeded to the
grounds, about a quarter of a mile below
the town, where the exercises were held,
with Hon. A. J Dutur, sr., as president of
tbo day. The Declaration of Independence
was read in excellent voice by Mrs. Josie
Johnson, and Mr. A. J. Brigham delivered
an eloquent and well-digested oration, whioh
pleased everyone. The Dufur brass band
furnished music on the occasion. After
dinner, which waa a bonntifnl spread, games
begun, and these furnished amusement to
the citizens for many hours. Tbe celebra
tion was the most successful of any ever
held, and all present appeared perfactly
satisfied with tbe arrangements.

The Dalles will soon have three of the
handsomest chnrehes to be found in any
town. Biiutiful houses of woiship speak
well tor the intellectual, moral and generous
natnres of the citizaos and offer to stangers
greater inducements for forming a favorable
impression of our town. ' Tbe Methodist
ch nrch already completed stands in a oom-
mandiug situation and is a structure of
which any city might well speak with pride.
Tbe inside linisb' is very tasty and its
greatest merit is - the large tuneful organ
which is by far the finest ever brought to
The Dalles. Those who - have listened to
the swelling melody of a pipe organ will be
glad of the opportunity to hear it once more.
The Cjngregitional people have suffered
much in tbe last three years, bat nothing
daunted.haye met eyery obstacle. To have
three ohurohes burned in so short a time is a
record seldom equalled. In the fire of last
fall their imposing $12,000 church building
went up in fi imes and smoke, an j two years
before their old meeting house on Third
street suffered the same fate. But out of
the ashes beautiful buildings rise and their
new edifices will serve to soften past sor
rows. Although not quite as large as the
old one their new oharch is an elegant
structure and an ornament to any town.
The outside woik is now completed and the
"finishing touches inside will render it ready
for occupancy. The Baptist church boa
now tbe frame work np and is progressing
rapidly. We understand the plans will
make it an attractive structure and fit com
pany for its stately sisters. When tbe new
Catholio church now in contemplation is
comp'eted Tbe Dalles can truly be called
The City of Beautiful Churches."
