Some time ago he was caught in an accident while running as a conductor on a "freight between Portland and The Dalles, and somehow the word was sent back to his K ot P. lodge at Ottawa, Kansas, that he had been killed. Mr. French thought it strange that be did not hear from bis lodge, and on inquiry found that he was supposed to be "off tbe list" of the living, and it took a physician's certificate of good health to rein state Mm in the old place, "rreochv is boot as liye a dead man as ever walked on two legs. -' The residence of Mr. Frank Huott, on Eight Mile, was burned to the ground lait oight. Mr. and Mrs. Hnott were absent from home, and there remained two r ous and two daughters. About 11 o'clock last meht the oldest boy awoke to find the hnildicg in flames, and awakening the family they managed to escape; but had no tinr.e to save any of tbe inrnitnre. in fire spread very rapidly, nd it waa impos sible to get it under control, -vortnnsceiy, by reason of the snow it did not ignite tbe tore building, but the house was soon a mass of ruins. The loss will be abont $1000; but we did not learn whether there was any insurance. Salem Journal: The report of the last state board of equalization bai not turned op yet. It i supposed to hav been, burned nn in a recent tire at Union, Ore.

The president ot the old board put in two days at Port land, got his partner in for secretary, who i-ut in a bill for nearly a bait year's worn. The board coat the state over $5000 and there ia not even a printed report to show foi it. there is there.

The annual masquerade ball of Jackson Engine Co. shonld receive liberal patron age, as tbia ia tbe pioneer tire company of The Dalles, having been organized In law. During the many devastating conflagrations that bave visitea tbe city, this company baa always done its dnty towards saving property. .Nearly all ot the original mem- ber bave Daased away to the "silent shore. and among those who atill remain are Jadge Liebe and Mr. Henry Whitmore. These are tbe only ones, we believe, who are alive whose names are on tbe charter. Reports are that a stirring episode oc curred a night or two ago at a Pilot Rock dance, savs the East Ortgonian. It seems that two young men. Ed. Thrasher and Walter Lindsey. became involted in a quar rel, with which J. M. Johnson was also mixed up in the same manner. A constable undertook to aniet the disturbance, and was knocked cold by a blow from ooe of the combatants. Young Thrasher, it ia said, proved a "young thrasher" with a ven geance. He knocked down four or five men before be left the dance-ball There were two buggies broken on the night of the dance, and other memorable incidents oc curred. Altogether the occasion will be remembered as one of unusual festivity. Prom Friday's Daily.

'' The TJuioo whist club was entertained last night by Judge and Mra. Bradsbaw at their residence, and a very pleasant evening was spent. Mrs. W. H. Wilson secured the first prise and Mr. W. Lord tbe booby. There ia an encampment of aborigines across Mill creek that creates considerable distnrbamea every evening, and tbe police this morning, in the wee ama hours, made a descent and stopped their hilarious pro ceedings. . Last evening several of those who enjoy the amusement, spent many hours on the ice which has formed on the sloughs on the banks of tbe Viver. Skating waa not very good; but it was much better than none at all, and it is tbe .first time for years that there baa been tbe least opportunity to en joy this recreation. Dr. Rinehart returned yesterday from Sa lem, where a meeting was held of the state board of obarities and corrections in connec tion with the insane asylum. Tue alleged scandal has pot been investigated yet; but it ia clearly proved that Dr. itiwlaod is not implicated in anything wrong. The- drawing yesterday afternoon in E.

Tbe following lucky numbers have not been called fori 33, 424. 44. 301 and 175. There were several skating parties whil ing tbe hours away last night on the ponds in this vicinity. During certain epochs in early life caatle-bmlding eras especially amusement can be had on a cold, bleak night perambulating over the congealed surface of tne aqueooa element; bat in later years more comfort is taken around the fire sideif you bave one at home. L.st week we published an account of a booting party being lost on the Tukanoo, aa. s tbe Dayton Chronicle A relief party was sent out Friday. It now transpires that L.

Mr. Henry Cram, in business io Poitlacd. ib visiting relatives and friends in tbe city, Legislative matters are general topic of conversation, and . street talks always tain toward Salem. There are several prisoners io the county jail for selling whisky to Indians. These have been gathered in from this vicinity by the deputy U. S. marshal. - The fish-wheels and flat-boats nearly cover tbe beach above the city, and these make a business aspect to this otherwise desolate portion of the vicinity. A pair of gold rimmed eve-glasses wsa lost on the streets of The Dalles this morn ing. The owner will be suitably rewarded by leaving tbe same at this office. Hon. J. A. amitb, of VVaaoo, waa a pas senger on the morning train, en route to Salem to assume his legislative duties. .He is jnint-senator , for Sherman and Wasco counties. - We understand an altercation oooutred last night between different crowds of coast- ere.resulting in several pugilistic encounters. There were sore, heads in consequence, but no serious injuries were received There is nothing rich or raoy around the city Jan these days, and it ia a rare thing for that elnmosyoary institution to have an occupant, ihis ia largely due to the peace able habits of our oitizens, and the efficiency of onr ponce force. Notwithstanding the fine weather to-day parties have been trying the ice in the im mediate vicinity of The D tiles. There bave been no accidents reported yet, but we have a pointed peuotl to chronicle any "wetting that may happen qn account of the exhibi tion of an adventursome disposition. There is not much poetry in this weather to tbe newspaper reporter, and be follows tbe even tenor of bis-way, noting a "per sonal" here or tbere, or picking up an item when convenient. With the news-gatherer it is always a "force policyand the crav ings of compositors have to be satisfied in the best manner possible. A young man by tbe name of George James was accidentally shot last wek near Haines, says the Union Republican, and is in a very precarious condition. The gun discharged was a Winchester, 44-70, the ball entering just below and to tbe right of tbe. l?ft nipple, and passing within an eiphth or an iooh of the apex of the heart, coming out on tbe left side. The river bankbelow tbe mouth of Mill creek presents a scene of great activity. On tbe ways undergoing repairs is the Reg ulator, with a large force ot mechanics at work, and tbe terry-boat is nearly in posi tion to be overhauled, tiy tbe time the spring trade opens the D. P. & A. N. Co. 'a boat will be in excellent condition for busi ness, which' promises to be larger than usual.' - We are informed by a person who bas just arrived from Centervtlle, Wash., that th Klickitat valley is free from snow and some farmers are plowing. All varieties of cli mate can be experienced in a drive of a few miles. Near Rockland snow still cover the ground to tbe depth of several inche. but before the mountain ia reached the ground ia bare, and on the other side there is pleas ant weatber with a bttle frost at night. Charles Fredericks, of Dixie, Washington county, was found dead in South Scappoose creek, about a mile from Anderson's place. Fredericks left bis borne with the intention of going to Portland. After he had gone some distance ha missed bis way- in the snow, and wandered off into the hills in a northeasterly direction. On his not return ing home when expected, a searching party started out.followiog his tracks in tbe snow, and succeeded in finding his dead body. News waa received in The Dallea that Mr W. S. Ladd, the banker of Portland died at 9 o'clock tbia morning. He haa been afflicted with paralysis for years, and bis demise will create no great surprise. His wealth is somewhere in the millions, and for yeais he haa been considered the richest man in Oregon. Mr. Ladd - was a pioneer of the state, and accumulated bis ! money by being industrious, baying began life aa a poor boy. It is now given out that- the Great North ern cannot tinisb the road before January 10th. -Track laying is pursued under diffi culties. Five feet of snow baa to be shov eled off ahead of the graders and track layers. It is stated that the track, though joined, will not be in condition for active operation before tbe coming spring or sum mer. This opinion is based on what Hill himself said. Ne se Anderson, section foremen on-the Union Pacific at Miitoo.has patented a pro cess for saving flour gold, and a company has been formed for the purpose of using this invention in mining operations on river -bars where the sand is known to contain small particles of the precious metal. Here tufore all of tbe many devises invented for tbe purpose of flour gold bave proved un profitable, la this new machine, it is said, the difficulty of expense baa been overcome. A dispatch from .Tacoma yesterday says: "The Union Pacific bas 24 teasas in camp ready for work at Lakeview, and 16 teams at Fernhill. This is the word brought to Tacoma to-day by Robert Rigley, of Lake view, from whom tbe contractors tbis morn ing bought a large quantity ot feed. This looks aa if the Union Pacific would at once begin building this end of its road from Portland to Paget Sound- as has been prophesied for some weeks." The sheriffs office was crowded tbia morning, not with prisoners or politicians. but with representatives of different profes sions, and conversation took a wide range, fiom literature to science. Several great statesmen were placed in tbe proper niche. and poets were arranged in tbe positions in wbion they appeared to good advantage. Tammany came ia for commendation and condemnation, and both t he Republican and Democratic parties were purged of many impurities. Wood bum Independent: R. C. Hough man, who lives near Mt.

The Baptists are holding protracted meet ing in their new church, which was dedi cated two weeks ago yesterday. The church is well filled every evening. The second of tbe series of entertain ments for tbe purpose of raising money for tbe decoration of the college halls, was given December 22d. Owing to many of the students goi. g home, and the .snow Ftorm, their audience was small. A leap year watch party was given in the chapel by tbe young ladies, Saturday December Slst.

A good story has been allowed to He around for a mooth without giving it to the public, and the Pendleton Tribun considers it to good to keep. It appears that a citi rcn of Pendleton bad loaned $100 to hia father, taking a note for the amount. The father resided io New York state. The aforesaid citizen sent the note back east to attorneys, instructing them to sue bis father and remit. Ia the meantime, the old gen tleman died, leaving all his property to the citi2en. The attorneys said nothing,' en tered suit against tbe estate, ran np the charges and took the costs out of tbe resi due of tbe estate. Tbis amounted to the citizen suing himself on a note due himself, instructing the attorneys to enter suit against himself, securing judgment against himself for the debt and coats against him self and paying to himself the whole amount.

Norville and a stranger were standing in the barroom of the Mint, when the stranger polled out his watch to see- how long he would have to wait tor the train. Mr. Nor ville, observing the watch, exclaimed: "That is my brother's watch. Where did you get it?" The stranger replied: "That may be your brother's watch. I got it from tbe pocket of a Union soldier whose body I helped to bury after one of the numerous engagements in tbe civil war; over twenty six years ago," Mr. Norville identified the watch as the one his brother had worn wben he feft home for the battlefield. The stranger was requested' to bequeath tbe watch to a member of the Norville family wheneytr he should die.

The most gigantio swindle of tbe last year now seems to be located at a fictitious place represented aa the ''The Orand Dalles," By the brilliant descriptions scat tered throughout the east, it should be called the "Grand Dazzle." What has given the swindle some color of substance ia that a minister of the gospel is acting as beralder and trumpeter for the fakement. It is stated that a great city on the Colum bia river just north of The Dalles, had been builded, and that the hum of machinery in a score of factories disturbs the usually still and quiet atmosphere which usually envel ops the plateaux and barren mountains, by day and by night; that the streets Were graded and electric cars connected it witb Oregon; that tbe place was brilliantly illu minated with electrio lights and all the ap purtenances of a metropolitan city were to be found there. It was a picture of Port land witb a new name. Recently a pleasant appearing and very quiet gentleman arrived from the east and put up at the Umatilla -House in The Dalles. Be had invested in the Orand Dallea and had come to spy out the new city. After allowing bis dinner to settle he concluded to take a trip across tbe river And look -op his purchase. He asked Mr. Smnott, pro prietor of the hotel, wben the next train went across the river. Mr. Sinnott, seeing he was a tenderfoot, told him to go to the edge of the bluff and sing out lor a siwasli, aod it 'there were any in hearing he could get across in a canoe in about half an hour. Mr. Sinnott explained that there waa no bridge for a train to pass over, and if there had been a bridge there was. no train, and if there were a bridge and train there ia np place for a train to go to after it bad passed over. The stranger was nonplussed for a time, and then asked if there were not eleo- trio lights there. Mr. Sinnott pointed to a faint light that glimmered in the darkness and said that it wis the only one he could see and he thought that 'was in an Indian cabin. - Mr. Sinnott inquired if tbe stranger had any interest in thd Grand Dalles, and the latter replied that he had investei $20,000 on the representation to the agents and had been lead to believe that the place was large and flourishing, and that there were lots of established industries, especially glass fac tories and granite works, -Mr. Sinnott said there was enough sand on the beach for all the glass factories in the world, and as for granite, there were mountains of it, never touched, and not likely to be. The stranger did not faunch and threaten to burn up the whole country, etc., but fell into a deep itudy. Tbe next morning he surveyed the plateau from the balcony of tbe Umatilla House and then took the first train for the east. He will probably devote some ot bis Spare time in hunting up the anther of the Grand Dalles swindle. . Arrested the . progress of Con ' sumption. In all it's earlier stages, it can be cured. It's a scrofulous affection of the lungs a blood taint and, as in every other form of scrofula. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is a cer tain remedy. But it must be taken in time and now is the time to take it It purines the blood that's the secret. Nothing else acta like it It's the most po tent Etrengin-resmrer, mooa-cieanser, tuiu flesh-builder known to medical science. For Weak Lungs, Spitting; of Blood, Bronchitis, Aothirm, Catarrh, and all lingering Coughs, it's a, remedy that's firuaronteed, in every case, to benefit or cure. II it Qoean i, ine money is reruxnea. - In other words, it s sold on trial. No other medicine of its kind is. And that proves that nothing else is " Just as good " as the " Discovery." The dealer la thlniong oi its prone, not ox yours, wben he urges something else. Judge for yourself which ia likely to be the better medicine. -TO BE GIVEN BY- JACKSON ENGINE COMPANY, .
