Mr. A. S. Macallister, who returned
yesterday from his farm in the eastern
part of Crook county, reports the out
look in that section rather discourag
ing. Very little rain has fallen on

tract for completion of the locks at the
Cascades, returned home yesterday
after a visit to Portland of several days.
Referring to conflicting reports in the
upper country regarding the comple
tion of the great work under his
charge, he refused to express himself,
as there was a difference of ' opinion
existing between ; himself and those

ing of the Columbia river and the

FLAG PAT EXERCISES.
Creditable Showing Hade by Oar Public
School.
No one who attended . the exercises
at the Armory Friday afternoon
can but feel proud of the children who
comprise the rising generation of. this
city, or be convinced that under the
supervision of Professor Gavin and his
able corps of teachers the public
schools of The Dalles take first rank
among the educational institutions of
the state. So perfect, indeed, has the
training of the pupils been, that one
could not justly criticise in any respect
their manner of delivery in reciting,
or the precision with which they exe
cuted the different drills.
No finer day for out-door exercises
could have been possible. A cloudless
sky and bright sunshine added much
to the imposing appearance of the
large procession of children as they
marched from the High School build
ing to the Armory, and few were the
students who did not regret that the
entire afternoon could not be devoted
to a longer march under the blue sky
and balmy air of that splendid Novem
ber day. However the attractions of
the sunshine did not detract from the
interest all felt in the exercises, and
when the children arrived at the Arm
ory they were greeted by a large and
admiring audience, in fact all that
spacious hall would accommodate.
After a few introductory remarks by
Prof. Gavin, the following programme
was rendered:
Song Our Flag and Union Forever
.'. Solo and Quartet.
Recitation The American Flag
N alter R eavls.
Song Patriotic Olee Four Small Girls.
Recitation Historypf the Flag Four Boys.
Song Red, hite and Blue

Chorus Flag of Our Ancestors.
Presentation of Flags Mrs. W. S. Myers.

Eleven Girls.
Chorus Star Spangled Banner.
Recitation The School-house and the Flag
Grover Young.
Recitation Getting Acquainted
Leona Sexton.
Sash Drill Seven Girls.
Song America,, r School and Audience.
To minutely describe the rendition
of each of the exercises or attempt to
do "justice to those who acquitted
themselves best would be too severe a
tax on the limited space at our dis
posal, hence we refrain from going
into detail.
Much credit is certainly due the la
dies of the Relief Corps for their ef
fort to create a love of country and
veneration for its flag by the presenta
tion to the schools, and the timely and
well-worded presentation address of
Mrs. Myers will long be remembered
by every school child who was present,
as will be the patriotic remarks of
Prof. Gavin in accepting the flags, and
those of Mrs. Briggs, who extended
the well wishes of the corps to the
schools. Throughout the exercises
were most interesting, and reflected
credit upon the Relief , Corps, the
teachers and the pupils.
MB. STKONU'S LECTURE.
An Important
Bnbject Very
cnased.
Ably Dia-
It has seldom been the good fortune
of the citizens of The Dalles to listen
to an abler discussion of a question in
which all are interested, than they
were privileged to hear at the Congre
gational church in this city last even
ing. The speaker, Hon. Thomas N.
Strong, through having served as one
of the "Committee ,of One Hundred, "-
in Portland, had become thoroughly
conversant "with the vices predominant
and the reforms needed in large cities,
hence the subject, "Municipal Re
form," is one upon which he is prepar
ed to speak advisedly. ... "
Corruption in municipal govern
ment, Mr. Strong believes, is one of
the greatest evils now besetting our
national welfare, and until these evils
are eleminated they will have a con
taminating influence upon the entire
people. Mr. Strong dwelt at some
length upon the evils that exist in
large cities, and especially in the city
of Portland, denouncing in strong
terms the system now in vogue which
centralizes government.' Placing too
great appointive power in the hands of
the mayor, he considers an unwise
policy, since it removes the right of
self government from the people, and
is a power so susceptible of abuse. At
some length he dwelt upon the abuse
of this power in Portland, illustrating
how it resulted in placing corrupt and
unscrupulous men in official positions.
especially on the police force. Lack
of patriotism,' or rather the inclination
to use official position for personal
gain, and the disposition of officials to
punish the poor and obscure, while-the
misdeeds of the rich and influential are
unheeded, Mr. Strong considers the
foundation of the greatest evils that
exist today in municipal governments.
As means of reform, a remedy for
these evils, the speaker recommended
that the powers of city government be
broadened; that each municipality be
granted the . right to legislate exclus
ively for itself; that all appointive
power be taken from mayors and dele
gated either to committees or the peo
ple by direct vote, and that the citizens
every municipality interest them
selves in placing honest, patriotic men
in offiee. The right to regulate muni
cipal government, he asserts, rests in
the people, the taxpayers and voters.
and if evils exist it is their privilege
to remove them.
NO MORE CRYING BABIES.
Provision Hade to Care For Them
Their Mammas Worship.
While
" How to dispense with the annoyance
of squalling infants at church has been
solved by Plymouth Congregational
church at Seattle. It has inaugurated
a new feature in connection with its
work, in taking care of little children
during the hour for morning service.
A kindergarten for babies has been
established, with Miss Ada Winter-
bourn, an experienced kindergartener,
in charge. Mothers who cannot leave
their little ones at home may leave
them with her when they come to
church .
This plin.lf successful, will solve
problem - of long standing. Mothers
with young babies are generally shut
up to the alternative to staying at
home themselves or disturbing others
in the church, to their own great em
barassment and annoyance. 'Many a
good sermon has . been spoiled by a
fretful child. -The Plymouth kinder
garten aims to amuse the little ones,
rest the mothers; and keep the atten
tion of the congregation from 9traying.
- BY THE MORPHINE ROUTE.
A Prominent Resident of Eugene Suicides
at Portland. '
Henry Clay Humphrey, . for many
years a banner or Kugene, was found
dead in bed at the St. Charles hotel in
Portland last Saturday afternoon. . Mr.
Humphrey arrived Friday and .regis
tered at the St. Charles under th
name of "John Smithy Cbehalis." In
the afternoon he bought a bottle of
morphine at Woodard, Clark & Co's.
drug store, stating that he wanted it
for a friend. He went to his room at
7 o'clock Friday, and nothing more
was seen of him until the proprietor of
the hotel opened his room about 4
o'clock Saturday afternoon. He was
found to have been dead for several
hours.
Mr. Humphrey helped form the first
bank organized in Eugene, the Lane
County Bank, in 1882, and was its cash
ier from that date until the bank sus
pended some eighteen months ago.
Since then he has been engaged in
different business enterprises, and the
past summer has been engaged in ship
ping fruit east. Failing health is the
only cause known for taking his life.
CIRCUIT COURT.
The following proceedings were had
in the circuit court Saturday afternoon
and today:
Mary C Bowman vs. W. C. H. Bow
man; referred to A. A. Urquhart.
Sraufe & McCrum vs R. G. Closter,
administrator, et al; confirmation
granted.
W. D. Richards vs. H. Holoway;
answer filed.
J. L. Story vs. Jos. Southwell; judg
ment on verdict.
State vs. R. A, McDonald; plea o1
not guilty withdrawn and plea ol
guilty entered.
The Miscreant Caught.
Tom Lewis, the party accused of
burning Mr. Brogan's hay near Ante
lope on Wednesday night of last week,
was arrested on Thursday, and had
a preliminary examination before
Justice Keaton at Antelope on Friday,
and was held in bonds of $500 to ap
pear before the grand jury. The evi
dence against Lewis is said to be very
strong, and there is little doubt but
the authorities have succeeded in fas
tening the crime on the right party.
At last accounts Lewis had not been
able to secure bonds, and as a deputy
sheriff left here for Antelope this
morning, he will probably be brought
in tomorrow, and his case, will be in
quired into by the grand jury at the
present session. . 1
The Railroad Across Siberia. ;
The Russian government is display
ing an activity in prosecuting this
great enterprise which makes it cer
tain, not only that it will be completed,
but that it will be completed before the
date originally arranged.'
Before the close of this year the
road will be opened as far as the River
Obi. It will then be possible in the
Old World to take a continuous journey
from the Atlantic eastward of over 4,-
000 miles. It is probable, judging from
the present rate of progress, .that, by
the opening of the twentieth century,
a continous belt of steel will .stretch
from Paris to the Pacific.
Oregon Wool In Boston.
The American Wool Reporter of
Nov. 7, says: . "Choice Oregon comb
ing wools are in good request at 36 to
37 clean. They are sought precisely
as are the fine grades of territorial
wools. Ordinary stock is not attract
ing especial attention. . This costs 34
to 35 cents clean. Medium Oregon at
31 to 32 cents is quiet." Oregon wools
at seaboard markets are quoted as fol
lows: "Eastern Oregon, choice, 12 to
13 cents; average, 10 to-11 cents;
heavy, 9 to 10 cents; valley, No. 1, 12
to 13 cents; No. 2, 14 to 15 cents; No.
3, 15 cents; lambs, 12 to 13 cents." .'
Pendleton's Enterprise.
with -. cnaracteristic enterprise, a
few citizens of Pendleton yesterday
stepped to the front and subscribed
$1100 of the $3500 necessary to induce
Messrs. Burns and Dunphey to estab
lish a plant for the manufacture of
water motors in this city. The sub
scriptions were secured within a few
hours by the committee of the Com
mercial Association and Mr. W. P.
Lathrop. The citizens, who were seen
by them showed -ever, disposition to
secure the industry, and it is probable
that the full amount will be secured by
the end of the week. Tribune.
More Hay Borned.
Last night Mr. Phillip Brogan re
ceived a letter from Antelope, inform
ing him that 80 tons of hay on 'one of
bis ranches about eight miles south of
Antelope had been burned on the night
of Nov. 13th. . The letter stated that
the fire was undoubtedly, of incendiary
origin, and that parties were on track
of the fire bugs. Mr. Brogan does not
believe his hay was burned by the
parties who have been committing like
depredations in the vicinity of Mitch
ell, but thinks it was done by persons
for personal spite.

- HEROES OF THE NORTHWEST.
An Interesting Paper Read by Mrs. E. M.
e Wilson.
Sunday night at the Congregational
church in this city, Mrs. E. M. Wil
son read a' very interesting paper on
some of the prominent charasters in
the early history of this state. Her
character sketches included personal
reminiscences of Dr. McLaughlin,
Rev. James H. Wilbur and Rev. Cush
ing Eels. ' -. -
The first she considered the leading
name in our early history, and one
who has received well deserved praise
from early immigrants to the north
west. He was just and benevolent,
and one in whom there was not the
least trickery or deceit. She paid a
glowing tribute to his moral worth
and his many unselfish ficts for the re
lief of the suffering pioneers. There
can be no doubt that Dr. McLaughlin
was entieled to the enconiums he has
received, and in the ranks of civil life
he was unquestionably a hero among
heroes.
The will power and determination of
Father Wilbur was delineated and acts
mentioned where he displayed a cour
age that placed him in the list of the
bravest of the brave. ; His good work
among the aborigines was attested by
the marked 'improvement of those
among whom he labored. They have
forsaken their wigwams and live in
houses, and follow habits of industry
the same as their Caucasian neighbors.
Although dead his work still lives,
and for generations his name will be
revered by the descendants of those
who were taught the higher life by
this unselfish Christian missionary.
If he had received a military educa
tion, his tact, genius to command and
other qurlities would have placed him
in the list with Grant and Sherman.
Rev. Cushing Eels was a unique
character. A Christian in every sense
of the word. An indefatiguable worker,
he gave no consideration to idlers.
His work among the Indians bore ex
cellent fruit, and no pioneer in the
northwest did more to reclaim this re
gion from savagery than this honored
missionary. Living to the ripe old age
of 83 he continued in harness to the
last, and always manifested the great
est, interest in missionary efforts.
Whitman college at Walla Walla'is a
lasting monument of his efforts in the
line of a higher education as well as
of his respect for Dr. Marcus Whit
man, the building being erected on
the spot where the lamentable massa
cre took place. Many agreeable remin
iscences of Rev. Eels were related by
Mrs. Wilson, and a just tribute' paid
to his unselfish life.
The paper was very interesting, and
listened to by the large audience with
marked attention. It was replete with
personal recollections of the men and
worded in - the - choicest language.
Every one present considered it a
treat, and will anxiously look forward
to a continuation of these sketches. by
this talented lady.

witnesses on the various cases. ' We
have visited the county poor house,
and found the same neatly kept and
the inmates seemed generally satisfied,
The. building is comfortable but the
sleeping rooms are somewhat over
crowded, and we would recommend
that an addition be built and made
into comfortable bedrooms. " We have
visited the various county offices and
found the same in perfect order and
clean. .. The county records, as far as
we are able to judge, were neatly .and
correctly kept, and we' congratulate
the -taxpayers or- Wasco county on
having such honest .and capable, men
in charge of the various offices and
the conn ty's -finances. We have vis
ited the county jail and recommend
that, as soon as the county finances will
admit, the county court purchase a lot
and erect thereon a good and sufficient
jail, the present one being, ii our
opinion", -: totally inadequate. - We
further recommend that the -present
jail be calcimined inside and the water
closet be placed in proper condition,
We would further call the attention ot
the court to the, fact that certain jus
tices of the peace in this county .seem
more desirous of making -fees than of
performing the- legitimate duties of
their office. ' Sometimes frivolous cases
are begun and the parties bound over
to the gjand jury, or the parties dis
charged and the costs taxed up to the.'
county. We . find, upon examination
of the county-court docket, that at the
September-term of the county court
the enormous Bum of. tlOOO was allowed
for justice courts-alone for cases' trier
during only two months. '" We heartily
endorse the action pf the county court
in disallowing all bills where, in their
opinion, -the' charges- made -were' un
necessary.- . We submit the county
treasurer's report, hereunto attached:

The Discovery Saved Bis Life.
Mr. G. Cailouette, Druggist, Beavers
ville, 111., says: "To Dr.King's New
Discovery I owe my life. Was taken
with La Grippe and tried all the phy
sicians for miles about, but of no avail
and was given up and told I could not
live. Having Dr. King's New Dis
covery in my store I sent for a bottle
and began its use and from the first
dose began to get better, and after us
ing three bottles was up and about
again. It is worth its weight in gold.
We won't keep store or house without
it." Get a free 'trial at Blakeley &

We urge all who are afflicted to pro

fair trial. In cases of habitual consti
pation Electric Bitters cures by giving

cases long resist the use of this medi
cine. Try 'it once. . Fifty cents and 81
