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.

It is claimed that this .cow is the largest ever shipped from this point. - An abpriginee yesterday, having too much benzine on board, resisted arrest and it took all the muscular persuasion uf Policeman Connelly and Deputy Sheriff TT'll to bring him to the jail. He fought hard for his liberty, and he was only conquered after four men had attacked him and secured him hand !sind foot. Finally after placing nippers 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, which is held back by the government, and will not be paid them until the work is completed. It will be a great day for Eastern Oregon, and especially lor The Jjaiies, when the first steam 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 large-sized stuffing for The Dalles Christmas stocking, but that is what she will get. 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.

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.

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. Baker County Convicts.

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 efited much, because it is nearly ready to be harvested; but that planted in the spring will be much improved. Rain in July is not expected in this latitude; but it was very welcome, although very unexpected. Its effect on the grasshopper pest we have not learned; but their depredations will continue until the crop is harvested. HOUSEKEEPERS in m m mm who are delicate, run-down, or overworked, and those who suf fer from back ache, headache, dratrfrinqr-down sensations in the -.abdomen, and many other symptoms of da ran erement of the 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.

There are here three eeams of 24 feet, 3 feet and 14 feet, which .are at an angle of 50 de grees, nearly due south. A perpen dicular shaft has been sunk 106 feet with no fault. ' The first 25 feet were through alluvium, thence through quartzite and a few bands of shale in quartzite. The shaft is being deep ened at the rate of four inches per hour. Wang-sausbih is orlv three miles from the line f ;; !'. :' and six miles from the iron mines. In summer a creek comes within half a mile of the works, and it was up this that the heavy machinery was brought to the mines by t'.u follow ing ingenious process: A raft drawing only an men to tho ton was constructed, and, the ma chinery being shipped, war! d. ..:rged up the ci"eek till it grounded. Then a dam was built behind which, caused it to float, and this was successively and successfully done until the ma chinery was got to within a half a mile of the mines. Hand porterage took it the rest of the way. Inven tion. A Narrow Escape For Butler. It is not generally known that Oli ver Stevens, the present district at torney, once saved General Butler's life. It was at the Charleston con vention, more than 30 years ago. General Butler's course in the coa vention had been conspicuously bold and courageous, and his antagonism to certain elements had been notice ably unrelenting. Jack Cavanagh, a well known figure at conventions and caucuses in those days, after inanj bloody threats, finally one evening loaded up his revolver and himself and made for General Butler's quar ters. He would have found the gen eral unprepared and unable to defend himself, and he undoubtedly would b,ave shot him, but Oliver Stevens intercepted Jack and spirited him away and at the same ti?"'

THE BEST : pipe TOBACCQ Lord Tennyson as a Carpet Cleaner. Tennyson appeared once in the new character of carpet cleaner. Calling on some mends and finding them absent he wrote them a polite note. but had the misfortune to overturn the ink bottle upon the beautiful white Persian carpet. Frantic, he appealed for help to tho servant. She. suddenly recollecting that new milk will remove ink when wot, seized a can of the creamy liquid which hap pened to have been just left by the milkman. She upset the can on the large black pool and set about rub bing and scrubbing the stain. Down went Tennyson on his hands, and knees, rubbing and scrubbing" also, In an agony of suspense lest his friends should return, which he after ward said "reached the infinite." Every trace of ink was removed, and the servant was rewarded with a 5-shilling piece and the poet's "God bless you 1" London Tit-Bits. The Fanny Bune. -. 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 of the forearm and band.
