ITEMS IN BRIE.
From WadnaaJvr'f Dai T.
Mr. A. A. Urquhart made a trip to
Cascade Locks today.
Rev. M. Schell, of Portland, is vist
ing Father Bronsgeest in this city.
Don't forget that The Dalles is going
to celebrate Thursday in proper style.
A plug ugly team will be one of the
attractions in the procession tomor
row. Mr. and Mrs. B. S. Huntington were
passengers on the boat this morning
to Cascade Locks.
People have been arriving from the
country all day, and the streets have
the appearance of great activity.
Our citizens are preparing to cele
brate tomorrow, . and the business
houses are well ornamented with
United States colors.
. Mr. G. "W. Burlingame has several
gallons of the celebrated Geneva min
eral water in this city at the Columbia
Candy Factory. It is highly recom
mended as a remedy for many ailments,
. and will be on sale in this city at one
of our drug stores.
A squaw stole a glass holder from
' the soda fountain of Andrew Keller
' yesterday. It was found in her posses
sion, and she was arresred for larceny
and tried before Justice Davis. The
evidence was very convincing of her
imt, and she was sentenced to ten
days in the county jail.
The police authorities in Pendleton
recently arrested three men as vags,
who, after being kept in jail over
night and brought to trial before the
recorder, declared they were acrobats
on the way to Spokane to fill an en-
.' gagement. The recorder had a space
in the room cleared, and after enjoying
for. an hour some of the finest tumbling
ever produced on circus boards, con
cluded the claim of the men was estab
lished and let them go on their way rejoicing.
A BOLD LARCENY.
A Man Steals a Team and Wagon, also
Horse and Saddle.
A young man named Lee Morehouse
had been at work for Myron Taft, who
lives on the Deschutes a fell miles
from the city, for some months. Last
Monday he induced young Taft to go
witn mm to Kice's farm some miles
distant and to procure a load of grain
to haul to this citv. Believing; that
the transaction was all right Taft ac
companied Morehouse to Bice's barn
and helped him load the grain on the
wagon. Ho offered Taft a fair price
for the use of the wagon and team, and
he was expected to return the next
morning. Yesterday morning he ar
rived in the citv, and sold the grain-
about ten sacks to some dealers, and
then went back to the Deschutes, took
one of Taft's ridincr horses and A. b.
Roberts' saddle and left the city in
westerly direction. One of Taft's
work horses came back yesterday
evening; but the other one and the
wagon he knows nothiner about. He
went before Justice Davis and swore
out a warrant for the arrest of More
house, and vesterdav he was heard
from in the vicinity of Mosier. More
house owns a horse at the Cascade
Locks, and verv likely will stop there
to take this animal with him. This
morning Constable Urquhart left on
the Rewtlator, intending- to stop at the
Locks, and overhaul the man there
Without doubt this is one of the boldest
thefts we have heard of for some time,
and a fellow possessing such quality of
"cneek ' should succeed in almost any
vocation. It was a bold act to borrow
the team and wagron from Mr. Taft to
take the load of grain from Mr. Rice's;
but it was still bolder to get him to
help put it on the wagon. Then, after
driving in town and selling his grain,
to go back to the Deschutes and steal
a saddle and another horse and get
out of the vicinity, is, without doubt,
the exhibition of a certain quality
that has been credited to the govern
ment mule.

There were several arrests made last
night, and the city jail was full this

The Work at the Cascades Will Be Fin
ished Before the Coming; Christmas.
Work at the Locks is progressing
rapidly, the season being an unusually
favorable one. In conversation with
Mr. I. N. Day, one of the contractors,
last week, he assured the writer that
boats would pass through the canal
and locks before the end of the year.
After years of waiting our people have
become somewhat skeptical concern
ing all such statements, yet an exam
ination of the work will convince the
most doubting that the assertion made
by Mr. Day will be verified, unless
something unforeseen happens to pre
vent. Nearly 500 men are now at
work, cleaning off and leveling the
bottom of the upper lock. The lower
part of the upper bulkhead is being re
moved, the upper gate is partly hn
ished and as soon as the water drops
sufficiently Burleigh drills and giant
powder will soon lilt the big bulkhead
out of its place. A dredger is on the
way from Portland to clear the chan
nel at the' upper end of the canal, and
the big stone barge is kept moving
supplying: rocn lor the stonecutters,
who already have a large amount of it
cut and ready for the walls. The con
tractors are anxious to get the work
completed as quickly as possible, for
they now have earned nearly 8ZW,UW,

and will not be paid them until the
work is completed. It will be a great
day for Eastern Oregon, and especially

boat whistle that now awakens the
echoes on the lower river is heard
here, and there will be a celebration
thatfwill be remembered by all who
witness it. Canal and locks will be

FOrRTH OF JCLT.
A SUMMER SCHOOL.
To be Opened at Dnfor on July 89th.
--By request of several teachers I
have agreed to open a school of review
for teachers at Dufur on July 29, to
continue until -the August examina
tion. -
Our experience in this kind of work
is considerable, having conducted sev
eral and assisted in conducting a num
ber of others.. For reference "we refer
to all those, some 30 in number, who
attended a similar school that we con
ducted in The Dalles, many of whom
are teachers in the county at the pres
ent time. We also refer you to Hon.
Troy Shelley, county school superin
tendent of Wasco county. . .
Among the advantages offered by
the school will be an opportunity to
review all the branches, the use of a
teachers' library, lessons in a practice
school from one to three hours daily,
phonic drills and all the appliances of
one of the best furnished school rooms
in Wasco county. Another advantage
will be its comparative cheapness.
Board can be procured at from $2.50 to
$3.50 per week. Tuition, $3 for the
term or $1 per week.
Those who expect to pass examina
tion for teacher's certificate in August
will find a school of the kind contem
plated in this notice of great value.
Of course we do not recommend it as
an absolute assurance: but it leads in
the direction and gives opportunity for
the only known insurance, and that is
enort.
We invite all who can attend to be
with us, promising to use every effort
to make the school both profitable and
pleasing. AARON r hazier.
A POPULAR CIRCUS.
Abso-
The New Great Syndicate Shows
lately Unparalleled.
Wherever the new great syndicate
shows and Fans hippodrome has ex
hibited this year,it has drawn crowded
tents, thus provinsr that the new or
ganization has secured the public's
fullest approval." The new organiza
tion is composed of the very best and
most widely experienced showmen of
both Europe and America. and is under
the capable direction of Mr. J. .N.
Rentfrow, a manager of extensive ex
perience and pre-eminent ability. As
per press notices of all cities where it
has exhibited, the show is one of the
best that travels, and has firmly estab
lished its reputation to present one of
the very best and cleanest entertain
ments. The circus is given simultane
ously in three rings and on 'two cele
brated stages. The hippodrome track
is a quarter of a mile around, which
encircles the rings and is used for the
races and Olympian sports.
The menageria department is very
fine, embracing a large and costly va
riety of wild beasts. One of its most
interesting features is a flock of huge
African ostriches, which the manage
ment purchased and imported after a
costly outlay. The great syndicate
show is the only circus exhibiting
such a feature. This show exhibits at
The Dalles Saturday, July 6.
A Child Devoured. .
Persons returning from the Okan
ogan country confirm the report that
an Indian child had been eaten by
hogs a few days ago, says the Wilbur
Register. It seems that a squaw resid
ing just below the Indian school on the
Okanogan river had left her papoose,
tied to a board in the customary man
ner, leaning against a tree while she
went to the river to do some washing.
When she returned she found several
head of hogs fighting over the remains
of her child. The hogs had devoured
the child, all except its head, and that
only resembled a ball of dirt. A more
horrible scene could scarcely be im
agined. - -
Wasco Tribe, No. 16, 1. O. R. M.
The regular council of Wasco tribe,
No. 16. 1. O. R. M., will be held this
sleep in K. of P. wigwam, and, as
there is business of importance to be
transacted a full attendance of mem
bers is requested. This is the first
council in the Buck moon, and the
newly elected chiefs will be elevated to
their stumps. . The past great sun has
been a prosperous one for the Im
proved Order of Red Men in this reser
vation, and several pale faces, have
been adopted into the tribe. The
wampum belt is full and the Great
Spirit has smiled benignantly upon
the Red Men of the forest.
The Celebration in The Dalle -Competi
tive Drill Hose- Contests Bicycle
Display Fireworks, Etc.
Very unusual weather for the season
of the year was experienced yesterday
in this city. About 3 o'clock in the
morning rain began to fall, and con
tmued without intermission until J in
the afternoon. This interfered with
the success of the festivities of the
occasion, as our people are very much
different from those in the Willamette
valley, for they cannot enjoy them
selves completely when the clouds
hang low and the streets are muddy.
At 10:30 o'clock the procession
formed, the Orchestra band taking the
lead, followed by Col. Thompson and
staff and A and G companies, O. N.
G. The Liberty car was occupied by
a number of little girls, representing
the different states, and forming a
beautiful picture, attired as they were
in the national colors. Then came a
long concourse of citizens in carriages,
on horseback and on foot. The pro-.
cession marched through the principal
streets to the " stand in front of the
court' house, where the programme
was rendered. The -president of the
day, Judge W. L. Bradshaw, intro
duced the exercises by an appropriate
speech, when the band played a na
tional air. This was followed by a
song rendered by a select choir in ex
cellent style, and the president intro
duced Mr. N. J. Sinnott, who read the
Declaration of Independence in a very
able and eloquent manner. JMr. fain-
nott introduced a very desirable inno
vation in this part of the usual exer
cises on the 4th of July, by a prelim
inary speech, explaining the object
and aims of the instrument, and this
he did in an exceptionally eloquent
and appropriate manner. After sing
ing America by the choir, Mr. John
Michell, editor of the Times-Moun
taineer, was then introduced, and de
livered the oration. He dwelt upon
the causes which led to the revolt of
the colonies, spoke of the heroic strug
gle of the revolution, the Declaration
of Independence and the constitution.
the dangers through which the repub
lic had passed and which may threaten
it in the future, and eulogized the
patriotism of the American people
through different periods. There was
close attention paid to the address, al
though there was a constant shower of
ram during the time and very many
were exposed to the full force of the
storm. After three cheers were given
for the nag the meeting adjourned un
til afternoon.
The rain interfered very much wiih
the parade, as very many did not wish
to expose themselves to the elements
in the streets, and remained on the
sidewalk where they were sheltered.
Hundreds came from the country
and neighboring towns, and the Regu
lator on its return trip from the Locks
brought about 150 persons to the city.
These crowded the sidewalks during
the procession, and gave the city a
very animated appearance during the
day.
An attractive feature in the parade
was the steamer of Jackson Engine Co.
No. 1., handsomely decorated, and in
charge of the veterans of the fire
department, in uniform, some of
whom were white-haired with
'age, while close behind came a hose
cart drawn by boys, whose ages ranged
from 10 to 13 years, and on -the cart
were placed little Clinton Bradshaw
and Glenn Patterson, dressed in cos
tumes representing Brother Jonathan.
These little fellows enjoyed themselves
very much, and were as patriotic as
any in the procession. Our firemen
made a fine showing, and The Dalles
still sustains its reputation of - having
as efficient a department as any in the
northwest.
The Columbia hose cart was beauti
fully ornamented, and its position in
the parade was one that attracted gen
eral attention from the spectators. It
was highly complimented by many,
and all admired the taste displayed.
The little girls in the .Liberty (Jar
suffered from the rain, and nearly all
-their dresses were discolored from the
bunting; but they had true American
grit, and waved their flags as briskly
as if the sun were shining. The
Dalles is not accustomed to rain on
the 4th of July, and the occupants of
the Liberty Car and many on the street
were clad in white, summer dresses.
COMPETITIVE DRILL.
The rain interfered with the hose
contests in the afternoon, and, at the
time stated on the- programme for
them to begin it fell in torrents.
This made it impossible for the mem
bers of the different teams, to run, and,
instead, the competition drill was held
in the new armory by A. Co. of Wasco
and G. of this city. These companies
proceeded to the new armory and went
through the manual of arms. The full
number of points that could be " made
was 117. and A. Co. of Wasco scored 90
against G. Co's. 87,thereby winning the
gold medal that was awarded by the
committee. In the individual drill
Sergeant Bartelle, of G: Co. won the
silver medal awarded by the field and
staff officers of the Third regiment.
The judges were Capt. A Ad. Keller,
Capt. John W. Lewis and Mr. John
North of A. Co. First regiment. There
was no bitter felling-engendered be
tween the companies, and each' was
pleased with the awards.
The two blocks between Washington
and Union on Third streets were
crowded with people waiting for the
contest to begin, and these were im
patient for somjB. time for the drill to
finish, as some members of the teams
were also members of G Co. Consid
erable complaint was made on this
account; but it was a matter difficult
of adjustment, and perhaps the man
ner in which it was arranged was the
best under the circumstances.
THE HOSE CONTESTS.
The weather cleared about 3 o'clock,
and the sun began to shine. Several
persons were employed in sweeping
the street free from mud, and after
some work it was in fair condition,
but wet and slippery. - Jackson Engine
Co. No. 1 was the first to take position,
and the team consisted of R. B. Sin
nott, captain; W. L. Hunter, N. J.
Sinnott, W. Klindt, J. Maloney, J.
Fisher, R. Tiege, G. Brown, S. Frank,
W. Ulrich, G. Liebe, A. J. Bartell.
W. L. Bradshaw, L. E. Crowe and T.
Haslam, acted as judges; ' Sheriff
Driver, starter; J. P. Mclnerny, J. S.
Schenck and T. A. Ward,' time-keepers.
The signal was given, and the
run made; but the water came before
the nozzle was attached to the hose,
and the time was not given. This
teammade a splendid run, and we are
doubtful if they can be beat anywhere
in the state. The time given to us by
reliable authority was 30 seconds; but
on account of the failure mentioned it
was not considered.
The next team in line was the Mt.
Hood Hose Co., consisting of C. L.
Phillips, captain: Ralph Fisher, James
Harper, Julius Ulrich, Fred. Snipes,
W. Norman, John McNeal, Frank
Menefee, James Harper, Walter
Johns, Wm. Nichols, Frank Chrisman
and J. Spiebe They had a good start
and when water came the time noted
was 40 seconds.
Columbia's Hose team was a fine
body of athletic fellows, consisting of
Arthur Clark, captain; Louis Porter,
Ray Logan, C. Cooper, Grant Mays,
Henry Bills, Max Vogt, J. H. Fisher,
John Martnett, Kalph Rowland, Jos.
Bonn and F. Clark. They made the
run in 35i seconds; but attached the
nozzle, it was claimed, after water
came, in arriving at the conclusion
of the winning team, considerable dis
pute was had regarding this run; but
it being decided that the rules were
not complied with, Mt. Hood Hose Co.
was considered the winner.
This closed the contests, and as it
was nearly 6 o'clock a recess was taken
until 8 o'clock, p. M., at which time
there was a
BICYCLE PARADE
On Fourth street, when very many
wheels coursed up and down the thor
oughfare, handsomely ornamented' in
national colors. Some had canopies
from which dangled numerous Chinese
lanterns. Many of these bicycles
showed considerable taste in the ar
rangement of the colors on the wheels,
and those ornamented with lanterns
were very attractive. On account of
the rain Fourth street was quite
muddy, and not in good condition for
wheeling.
THE FIREWORKS.
On the bluff above the brick school-
house was the place .where the fire
works were- displayed, and these af
forded a brilliancy and illumination to
the evening. There were roman can
dies, skyrockets and many unique
desiens in orrotechu displays. These
wer witnessed bv larffo crowds
people on the rocks surrounding the
place, and also from points in Union
and Court streets.
THE BALL.
As the final number of the interest
ing programme the ball at the opera
house was a fitting conclusion to a very
successful calehration. There were
larfre number of tickets sold, and th
music was all that could be desired
The people are intensely patriotic on
the 4th of July, and there is no better
way in which they can exhibit their
entire satisfaction than Dy tne merry
dance. For this ball the arrangements
were well made, and there was noth
ing left undone that would insure the
enjoyment or tnose present. iub
members ot the amerenr, commiwea
knew their duties aud did not fail to
faithful 1 v norform them.
This ended tne exercises oi mo cel
ebration of the 4th of July, lS9u, and
it was considered one of the mo3t sue
cessful ever held at The Dalles. Great
credit is due the committee lor the
manner in which the arrangements
were mn rie. which entailed considerable
labor on thoir part. The rain was Ol
great benelit to crops; but it inter
fered verv much with the street par
ade, the hose contests and bicycle dis
plays: but. notwithstanding this lact.
everv person appeared satisfied with
the celebration.

GOOD ROADS FOR ILLVNOI3.
A Brave Act.
The horse attached to the Pacific Ex
press Co.'s wagon took a notion this
morning to rid mmseii oi an
restraint bv running through the
streets at a break-neck speed. He was
coming up Court street unmindful of
obstacles, when two men attempted to
head him off: but he paid little atten
tion to their cries af whoa! whoa! At
this juncture Mr. Jos. Wodika jumped
into the back of the wagon, grabbed
the reins and. managed to stop the ani
mal after it "had gone about half a
block. No damage was done; but if
Mr. Wodika had not performed the act
he did serious consequences might
have resulted.

The Rain.
The copious showers of rain which
fell yesterday will do considerable
good to growing grain and greatly in
crease the amount to be harvested.
It was very general, and extended
over this and Sherman counties. Of
course fall sown wheat will not be ben

GoTcrnor Altgcld Advocates a System of
Good Highways for the Entire State,
In a recent interview on the question
of good country roads Governor Altgeld
expressed himself as follows:
"I regard the question of good roads as
one of tho most important that now con
fronts tho people of Ulinois. Tho state
ehould take hold of it with resolution
End upon a broad gauge plan. There is
ho adequate reason for the ixnpassability
cf many of our common roads. The
west has built great cities, railroads and
workshops, Iliicoia has been in the front
rank in all of these improvements. There
Is no excuse for her being behind in her
road policy, particularly as her agricnl
turo is the basis of her prosperity. It
seems almost incredible that vo have
made so little progress in the business oi
roadmaiang. This question should in-
ierest tao larmcr more than any one
else, for the reason that he suffers much
actual financial less from bad roads.
"As a result of impassable roads the
fanner is often prevented from market
ing his gram when and where it would
bring tho best prices. In other words, he
must soil when he can get to a selling
place and not when the best price is ob
tainable. The railroads also are deeply
interested in securing good roads. As
thin s are now the railroads are swamped
with grain for shipment when good
roads enable the farmer to deliver his
grain to them, but let the weather make
tho road3 bad, and the-farmer, being un
able to haul over them, ceases to bring
his grain to maruet, and the railroad and
its cars are lcJe. For this reason alone
aiany railroads are compelled to have an
onnecessHHiy large number of cars. Bad
roads congest the grain business into the
periodic spells cf good road3, and this
necessitates Uiprhc-r charges fcr the serv
ice of transportation when it is rendered.
In addition to all this teaming over bad
roads is hard cn the horses, hard on the
wagon and hard on the fanner himself."
'What have you to say concerning the
expense ot building good roads through
out the stater
"That is a most difficult problem to
deal with. .However, it may be set down
as a pimciple of right and justice that
those who are benefited by the good
roads should pay for them. But a eood
road policy would bo of general benefit
to the entire state. It mixht be. there
fore, that some of the expense should be
borne by the state at large. In addition
each county might have a local tax for
tho samo purpose. Townships likewise
should have a tax. But it would be un-
air to a township to compel it to build
a lot of bridges over a stream mainly for
the benent of people all over the county.
ai worna ue lor bucu a purpose that o
general county tax might be levied. In
addition to this, property, farm3 espe
cially, that are conspicuously benefited
uiouia uc mace io pay a special assess
ment. ii.il cr tnis, however, is very
crude. 1 only suggest it as perhaps a
feasible plan. I would not like to be con
sidered as having reached final conclu
sions on this phase of tho matter."
"Would a good road policy upon the
part of the state greatly increase 6tate
taxes?
"That would depend npon the policy
adopted. If we were to undertake to build
good roads all over Illinois at once the
cost would be great and would neces
sarily heavily increase taxation. But
such a policy could not be agreed upon
or maintained. I apprehend that with a
careful and economical administration of
the state affairs general taxation need be
but little increased, if increased at all, in
order to begin a road policy. And it
should be considered that money expend
ed in permanent improvements, such as
good roads, is not like money thrown
away npon payrolls of useless employ
tes." "Have you given the matter of road
building any consideration?"
"Only in a general way. I have kept
track of the question as it has been
treated in the newspapers and magazines
and have been much interested by it. It
appears that a good roadbed and road
way nbout fourteen feet wide that is to
say, double track can be built for about
fifty cents a linear foot. This would be
about $2,500 a mile. Where a general
system of roadmaking would be gone
into, however, I am inclined to believe
that this expense might be greatly re
duced. But, even at fifty cents a foot,
two roads spanning an ordinary county
at right angles could be constructed for
less than $200,000. The interest on such
an investment would be about $10,000 a
year. A properly constructed road
would not require much expenditure for
repans for a longtime." Chicago News-

A most unpleasant sensation ia
caused by the violent excitation of
the ulnar nerve due to a blow on the
elbow. This nerve passes down on
the inner side of the arm, and then
rather inconsiderately bends round
and enters the forearm at the back of
the elbow joint. Any one who ha.
Telt his neighbor s elbow sticking into
bis ribs knows that the elbow is re
markably deficient in flesh. The
nerve is therefore at this point very
near the surface and has little to
shield it from a blow. If we are so
unfortunate as to give our elbow a
smart tap, we obtain a practical con
firmation of the fact that the ulnar
nerve is the principal sensory nerve
