Workman lodges on the evening of - the 14th. but an additional attraction will be a neat valentine presented to each masker in attendance. The blowing down of a portion of tbe wall of the Fitzgerald ruins this morning should serve as a warning to owners of other similar property in ; the city.

Nebecker and other neighbors had searched for him . all day yesterday, finding his body in the afternoon. Uncle Josh Spruceby's company has come and gone, and ' all those who I witnessed their entertainment at the Baldwin "last night feel better for having been there. Abundance of amusement was afforded, both : "Uncle Josh" . and his German'farm hand perpetrating jokes that were real side-splitters. - And the saw mill' scene . , was quite realistic, being one of the neatest effects ever produced on a stage in the city. The company is a - good one and will recommend Itself to theatre goers wherever it may be. - . From Thnraiay's Daily. ; Mr. A. L. Webster, of this city, went to Dufur today. Mr. R. W.

It con sists of some 203 vols., secured through the efforts of Rev. Gilman Parker, Guard mount was the order at the meeting of the militia company last , night. The company is becoming quite proficient, all the members tak ing a live interest in the weekly drills. School Clerk Jacobsen has begun the enumeration of persons of school age in this district. He anticipates that it will require nearly all of this month to make a thorough enumera tion. " ' No other organization in this city has more genial and social gatherings than do the Red Men. At almost every assembling of the braves they, have a fiast of corn and vension. At the feast last nigbt baar meat was added to the menu, the newly elected chiefs having supplied the feast for the tribe. Messrs. John Michell, M. A. Moody, B. F. Laughlin, J. M. Patterson, and Wm.

An error was made in yesterday's Times-Mountaineer, in stating that Mrs. Sarah Hagan, who died at Spo kane, left a husband and three sisters. It should have read a brother instead of husband. Mr. Hagan died in this city some three years ago. A very peculiar circumstance is re corded of the state of New York. It is the fact that it has acquired the title to the old John Brown farm, and has not asked a general subscription from the country at latge for the purchase money. The work of repairing the boiler of the Regulator is now completed. The engineer, Mr. Gill, tested it by getting up steam last night, and found the re pairs to be satisfactory. He is now working on the engines and will have them complete in a few days. Today Mrs. Bridget J. Bolton, filed notice of her intentions to absolve her allegiance to the British crown and become a citizen of the United States. After taking the initiatory steps to be come a citizen of this government she made homestead application for the ni eei sec 28, t 2 s, r 13 e. Mr. E. Schanno came down this morning from Grant's where he had been for a short visit. Mr. Schanno says that in the vicinity of Grants he saw some as fine young orchards as there are any where in the country and ho thinks that will become a great fruit producing section in time. A general slaughter of rats took place at the stockyards this morn in tr The gentleman who conducts the yards had arranged a barrel with a revolv ing lid from which tbe unfortunate rodenis.bad slipped into the trap and pud for this misfortune wUn their lives. ! " . The report comes from the southern part of the county that farmers are again beginning to plow. The pros pect of getting 50 cents for their wheat this fall has stimulated them to put in a large acreage of grain, and this to gether with the favorable weather, in sures the harvesting of a large crop this season. The citizens of ZanaaCity, Mb., have heretofore been dependent upon a pri vate company for its water supply. The agitation for a change has brought out the fact that a plant that cost but $600,000 was capitalized at 813,000,000. The city has voted to purchase it at a cost of $300,000. " , The injuries whicli Mrs. Hogan sus tained yesterday morning from being thrown from bed when the wall of the Fitzgerald wreck struck her house, proved more serious than was at first expected. She is suffering from a number of bruises about the body and lower limbs, however, her physician, Dr. Hollister, does not con sider her injuries dangerous. The Hook and Ladder company elect ed the following officers last night to serve during the ensuing year: T. A. Ward, preaitlent; J. , S. Schonck, sec retary: E. Schanno, treasurer; F. H. Van Norden, foreman; S.-L.'Thurman, first assistant; Harry Liebe, second as" sistant; J. S. Schenck, J. L. Hockman, Victor Marden, delegates. At the regular annual meeting of the East End Hose Co. No. 3, held last evening, the following officers for 1896 were elected: H. L. Kuck. president; L. S. Davis," secretary; W. H. Loch head, treasurer; H.- St. Arnold, fore man; E. J. Collins, first assistant; Jos. Folco, second assistant; R. E. Salt marsh e, J. L. Thompson and M. Shoren, delegate. Ira Campbell, of the Eugene Guard, who has been to Florida to at tend the National Editorial Associa tion, has sent home two diminutive aligators, probably with the intention of stocking, the waters of the Willam ette river. The small boy had better watch out next summer when he goes in bathing in the waters of the beauti ful Willamette, or those aligators will get him. Ira shouldn't bave set such a cruel trap for tbe small boy. The petition for a mail route from The Dalles to Moro, by way of the free bridge, which was recently circulated here, received 186 signers, and Doug las Allen, who inaugurated the move, feels quite confident the route will be established by tbe first of July. In the meantime, Mr. Allen will, as soon as the roads will permit, put on a line of hacks between this place and Moro, for the purpose of carrying passengers and freight. A tired stomach is very much like a sprained airkleT" If you suffer from any of the symptoms of dyspepsia, your stomach- is tired. It " needs . a crutch. We must relieve it of all work for a time, or until it is restored to its natural strength. To do this success fully, we must use a food which is al ready digested outside of the body, and which will aid the digestion of other foods that may be taken with it. Such a product is the Shaker Digestive Cordial. The Shakers bave utilized the diges tive principles present in plants for the manufacture of this article, and its success has been truly, phenomenal, 1 You can try it for the nominal sum of 10 cents, as sample bottles are sold by all druggists at this price. Laxol is the best medicine for chil dren. Doctors recommend it in place of Castor Oil. From Fridays' Dally. Mr. T. H. Johnston, of Dufur, is in tbe city. Sheriff Driver came up from Port land last night. Hon. E. O. McCoy returned on to day's local from Portland. Miss Sterling was a passenger on the afternoon train to Portland. Both the circuit and commissioner's oourt will convene next Monday. Mrs. and Mrs. Bridgers and Mrs. Lane left this morning for Antelope. M. Schloss, a prominent San Fran cisco and New York merchant, is in the city. Mr. J. M. Filloon will leave tonight for Spokane, where he has been called on business. - Rev. J. N, T. Gobs will hold services in St. Paul's Episcopal church next Sunday morning and evening. The committees who have in charge the arrangements of the mask ball to be given on the 14tb, are untiring in their efforts, and are leaving noth ing undone that will tend to make it the grandest masquerade ever given in The Dalles. Mr. W. E. Jones, the well-known Boston wool buyer, was In the city to dar. and left on the afternoon train for Portland. The proceeds of the mask ball to be given on Friday evening will be ap plied in navies' for the piano in Fraternity hall. Mr. W. J. Davenport, a prominent bankir of Colfax. Wash., is in the city visiting his brother, Mr R. G. Dayen port, foreman in the Chronicle office. Mr. M. T. Nolan returned last night ff.im Portland, where he had been at tending tbe meeting of the republican com in it toe of this congressional ait trict. On Sunday evening there will be an Epworth League rally at the M. E. church.

A logger named Baxter cut his wife's throat with a razor, and attempted to cut his own, but was prevented by the police. The wo-nan was intoxicated at the time of the tragedy. They bave been making extensive experiments in road building in Mass achusetts, under the direction -of state highway commission, and one of the conclusions is that they think they can construct a permanent roadway fifteen feet wide for $1200 to $1800 per mile. Invitations will be issued tomorrow for the ball to be given by the Red Men on Washington's birthday. The braves of that order have a well earned reputation for being most excellent entertainers, and judging from the in terest they are taking in the coming party, they will earn fresh laurels for successfully conducting dancing par ties. Mr. J. Hanna, of Boyd, who was in the city today, says there is much activity among tbe farmers south of here. He says he visited Long Hol low yesterday and saw twenty teams plowing in the fields. If the present favoroble weather continues, Mr. Han na says there will be a larger acreaged seeded in his neighborhood this sea son than ever before. Wasco county's sheriffs office is now one of the most commodious and con venient in the state. The wails of the room have been repapered, and the new furniture that has been put in, makes everything very-convenient both for the officials and those having bus- in ess with them. Next the clerk's office will be repaired, also making it more convenient and comfortable. This morning Mrs. W. E. Garretson received from her old friend, Mrs. Dr. Richardson, of Salem, a token of friendship that is most highly prized and which is indeed a work of art. It is a small chinaware cream pitcher, decorated in gold. The decorations are all handwork, done by Mrs. Rich ardson. Tbe handle and rim are cov ered with heavy gold trimmings, and on the front is a handsomely designed initial " G," while on the bottom are the figures 1896 and the letters " F. B. R.," Mrs. Richardson's initials. A Heppner dispatch to the Oregonian gives the following account of tbe holdup: . "The robbery took place about 9:30 o'clock. The agent and his wife went to the office at that time, and two men walked in, with their faces covered with black masks, and, covering the agent and his wife, ordered them to hold up their hands. The agent asked them what for. They replied 'because we want you to.' They ordered him to open the safe, saying they wanted his money, and only had a minute to wait. Mrs. Hart, the agent's wife, left the room, notwithstanding they ordered her to stop, and went down the track for the brakeman, who had left the depot about 10 minutes before, and was at the coach getting ready for the night's run." . Election of Officers. The annual election of officers for Jackson Engine Co; No. 1, the staid old company that has been in existence and defended the property of The Dalles from the ravages of the fire fiend almost since the city first sprang into existence, was held Tuesday night, and resulted In the selection of tbe following named gentleman, who will serve the campany as its officers dur ing the ensuing year: A.

At the close of the meeting the fire boys and their com rades were invited by F. W. L. Skibbe to partake of a delicious lunch and a keg of Buohler's Best, all of which was disposed of with a herrty relish by the lusty firemen. As Honored CitUen Gone. . Clarence V. Lane died at his home in Antelope on Monday, February 3, 1896, after a lingering illness of many months. Mr. Lane was born at New Brunswick, Canada, January 2, 1857, and came to Eastern Oregon-in -1878, locating near Antelope, where he en gaged in stockraising, and where, by the exercise of strict honor and integ rity, he drew around him a large circle of warm personal friends, who join his bereaved wife in mourn ing for the departed dead. In the death of' Mr. Lane Wascc county has lost a substantial and honored citi zen, tbe community in which he lived respected neighbor, and his bereaved wife a kind and affectionate husband. The remains arrived in this city Tues day and were intered in the Odd Fellows cemetery, tbe funeral taking place from Crandall & Burgett's un dertaking parlors at 2 P. M. Thursday. Pendleton's Loss. On Tuesday Sara P. Sturgis, cashier of the First National bank of Pendle ton, died at his home in that city. In his death Pendleton has lost one of her most enterprising and public-spirited citizens. For many years past Mr. Sturgis has been foremost in all moves of public interest in that city, Jt was largely through his efforts tuat capital has been induced to engage in the various industries that have made Pen dleton what it is. Pendleton, and in fact all of Eastern Oregon, can illy af ford to lose such men as he. Land Transfer, Dalles City to F. M. Vause, lots 1 and 2, block 12, Dalles City.

Mr. and Mrs. Hogan Narrowly Escape Being Hurried Alive. Ever since the fire of 1891, the walls of the old Fitzgerald building have stood yawning as a reminder of that terrible day which was the most dis astrous in the history of The Dalles. and Wednesday they came near ad ding another sad event to the annals of the city. For some time past the walls have been considered unsafe, and had Deen partially braced to keep them in an upright position, but the bracing was not sufficient to withstand the force of the severe wind which pre vailed Wednesday morning, and at 2:30 A. M. about forty feet of the east wall next to Second street gave way. Fif teen feet from the wall was a small box building, the front room of which was occupied by Mrs. J. J. Hogan's photograph gallery, and the rooms to the rear were used by Mr. and Mrs, Hogan for living apartments. This building is a total wreck, the falling wall having struck it with full force, crushing the front part to the ground, hurrying all of Mrs. Hogan's photo graphing outfit with a foot or mr re of brick, but fortunately the portion occu pied by Mr. and Mrs. Hogan as sleep ing apartments withstood the force of the falling debris, and although badly damaged, did not fall. At the time of the accident Mr. and Mrs. Hogan were sleeping soundly in a folding bed, and the first intimation they had of danger was when the crash came. Mrs. Hogan was thrown out of bed with such violence as to render her semi-unconscious for a time, but Mr. Hogan was caught in the folds of the bed, which collapsed with the crash, and it was with some difficulty that he was extricated by the assist ance of his wile after she regained consciousness. Everything in the photograph gal lery was completely demolished, and Mrs. Hogan's loss will be several hundred dollars, but most of their household furniture escaped without damage. While the accident is a most unfortunate one in the sense of the de struction of property, yet Mr. and Mrs. Hogan are indeed fortunate to have escaped without serious bodily injury, for had ten feet more of the brick wall gone down, they would have been buried under the debris, and most likely killed. The Fitzgerald ruins are owned by J H. Shearer, and the building oc cupied by the gallery was the property of O. Kinersley. It being a total wreck, Mr. Kinersley estimates his loss to be $250. THE REPUBLICAN CLUD9, A Routing Meeting Held tn Portland Yesterday. The state republican clubs conven- tisn, which met in Portland yesterday, was attended by representatives from every county in the state, and the en thusiasm of tbe delegates had no limit. They vied with each other in an at tempt to exhibit their power to make a noise, as if It were indicative of their ability to vote, and after a day of universal hilarity and clamor the con vention adjourned at 9 o'clock in the evening. The officers, committees and delegates elected by the convention are as follows: President Charles H. Carey, of Multnomah county. v Vice-President Claud Gatch, of Marion county.. . i . , Executive committee Charles H. Carey, Claude Gatch, L. A. McNary, James A. Wilson and W. H. Moore. Delegates to meeting ' of national league at Milwaukee, Wis. M. C. George, Geo. W. Patterson, A. W. Gowan, T. A. McBride, J. M. Long, James A. Fee, R. A. Booth, I. L. Pat terson, J. H. Hawley, J. E. Blundell, J. M. Church, John Michell, F. J. Taylor and W. C. Avery. RBAPPOIN .MSNT. Losses and Gains in Representation by tne Several Counties. It is figured that by the population given for the whole state, 362,762, there will be required 12,092 popula tion for one senator and 6047 for one representative. On this basis it is claimed that Crook and Gilliam coun ties, which now have one representa tive each, migtyt be thrown together for one; Grant would lose her represen tative but would retain her joint rep resentative with Harney; Jackson, which has three, would probably lose one; Morrow, which has one, would be made a part of a joint district; Umatilla would lose one of her three; Wallowa would become part of a' joint district; Polk, which has two, would probably be given one and a joint interest in another; Washington would have one of her three made a part of a joint dis trict; Clatsop would almost bold her two; Clackamas would gain half inter est in an additional one; and Douglas would likely lose one and prehaps as sist Coos and Curry in electing two, for which they have not enough people between them; Linn would hold three and Marion her five by a close shave, while Multnomah would gain six on the face of tne returns. In senatorial districts would occur the greatest rev olution. Several counties now elect ing a senator for each would be com pelled to join forces and a very few would hold their own. Chatao.ua Circle Meeting. The hospitable home of Mrs. W. H. Biggs, on Third Street, was open to tbe members and invited guests of the Chataqua circle Tuesday evening and a most profitable and interesting meet ing of the circle was held, .The responses to the roll call were from Goldsmith, and questions from American literature and current events. The circle had as invited guests Miss Lang, Dr. and Mrs. Eshel man, Mrs. Myers and Mrs. Steward. Among the interesting features of the evening's entertainment were a his tory of tbe evolution of L.uc'fer matches by Miss Lang, a review of the Vicar of Wakefield by Mrs. Crandall, a paper by Mrs. Myers on Japan, the geogra phy of the country and tbe ' customs and habits of the people, an instrumen tal and vocal rendition by Mrs. Eshel man, and Mrs. Smith French leading the conversation on the topic, Clara Barton and her works, which was dis cussed by the members of the circle. Following this the members sang the closing ode, "Home Swee Home," wished their hospitable hostess a pleas ant good night, and wended their way homeward, all voicing the sentiment that this was one of the most profitable and interesting meetings ever, held by the circle. Fatal Accident Near Kingsley. - Coroner W. H. Butts returned Thurs day from Kingsley, where he bad been to hold an inquest over the remains of A. D- Sanborn, who-was found dead on the farm of W. H. Nebeck, two miles from Kinsley on Tuesday evening last. The deceased came from the soldier's home at Roseburg last fall, and had lived at Mr. Nebeck's since that time. The jury before whom the inquest was held at Kingsley Wednesday, returned the following verdict: "We the jury impanelled by the coroner to inquire into the cause of the death of the decased, find as follows Th-t his ntimn was Alborn. D. San born; that said deceased was a native of New York City; that he was about five feet, five inches in height; weight about 13 ) ponuds and of the age of 72 years, light complectioned; that be belongs to the Grand Army of the Re public; that he entered the service of the United States on the first day of October, 1851, as a private in company A 2d Regiment Colorado cavalry and was finally discharged on the first day of October, 1864; that he had no known relatives in this state. That he came to his death on Sun day evening, Feb. 2d, by being thrown from a horse which he was riding, from some unexplaihable cause and which caused his death. Said accident hap pened on tbe farm of Mr. Neback, near Kingsley, Wasco county, State of Oregon. Dated this 5th day of February, 1896. P. Ward, Chas. Fraby. E. L. Boynton, John Nix, Alex McLeod, Geo.

With It a BnUet Can be Plainly Seen 1m bedded In a Man's Ankle, It seems possible, if not highly prop able, that not only the dissection of dead bodies, but vivisection, will soon be abandoned as unnecessary aids to scientific research. If the medical student can be furnished with photo graphs showing, separately or col lectively, each and all of the organs of the human or brute body as they ap pear in life or deaths and under all conditions, there will be no necessity for dissection either ante mortem or post mortem. With the removal of necessity, the business will end, for it is not so extremely enjoyable, with all its attendant troubles, that it will be followed for amusement. Prof. Roent gen, of the- Bavarian University of Wurzburg, is credited with the dis covery of a new light by the means of which the bones of the human body, and, presumably, any other part, can be photographed through the flesh. It appears that this scientist has been experimenting with a light derived from radient heat by means of Crook's tubes. The Crook tube is a vacum glass through which an electric induc tion current passes, whose rays, the products of intense heat, are thrown upon the object which it is desired to photograph. An account of Prof Roentgen's ex periments describes results obtained by the professor that are, even in this age of wonder, decldely astonishing: "He photo Aplted a man's ankle in whish a bulleMiras nnbedded, showing the buffet jusy where it was lodged "He photographed a leather purse, showinghe money in it with perfect distinction. A human band was sub jected to the rays, and the result was a picture of its bones, with the envelope of flesh only a shadowy form around them. The most startling experiment was the photograph of a young man beside a young woman, which showed nothing but a skeleton form. It is al so said that an iron weight was photo graphed through a box, the box disap pearing in the picture." x Anlmportmt Visit. Mr. Ahio Watt, of the O. R. & N. Co., made a visit to this section a few days since that is of considerable im portance to the entire upper country. His mission here was to settle certain right-of-way questions, and to con aider the advisability of changing the roadbed between The Dalles and Cel- lilo, so as to give room for the proposed boat-railway. We understand Mr Watt stated that it was the intention of the company to move the roadbed in many places so as to make room for the boat-railway, and that there would be no clash between the government and the O. R. & N. with regard to the right-of-way. If we are correctly informed, there will be no hinderances in the way of the government in its efforts to remove the obstructions to navigation in the upper river, and should Senator Mit chell's bill become a law, there is noth ing to hinder to commencement of work at an early data. Since the O. R. & NTCo. holds title to a consider- able of the right of way over which the boat-railway must be built, their willingness to transfer title to the gov ernment is of great importance, and will be of assistrance in securing an appropriation from con gross. - Wasco County School Districts. Of the 62 school districts in Wasco county, 56 have held the requisite num ber of months of school to entitle them to an apportionment of the , school funds, while six retiin their organiza tion, but will not be entitled to any part of the apportionment to be made in April. Twenty-three of the dis tricts have found it possible to get through the coming year on the amount to be appprtfoned . to them from the general school fund, while the remaining twenty-three have found it necessary to levy special school taxes. Those that have levied special taxes are as follows: Disk- No. 1 No. 8.... No. a No. 4 No.6.... No. 8.... No. 12.... No. 13...; No. 14.... No. 15.... No, IS.... No. 17....

The total, amount of taxable property in the distriat is $25,458, and from the 25 mill tax the district will realize 3630.40 to apply on a new building. , P. E. D. The Oregonian of the 4th on its local , page notes the formation of a branch of the New International Literary Society known as the Philistines. The comment thereon is misleading, a,nd indeed the statement that Sampson killed lO.OOQ of these same Philistines with the jawbone of a. jackass,"- is not bourn out by the pages of sacred his tory. It is fair to "presume from. the dead! mess of the the weapon tha.t that particular jawbone when in use by its original owner was wagged by a '.'jinny,"- Card of Thanks.. I desire to extend my aincerest thanks to the members of Columbia Lodge, No, 5, L O, U, F for their as siatanoe during the last Illness and' at the funeral of . my eon, William DeWolf, and also to the many kind Mends who have lent their assistance and comfort during my bereavement.

Information Wanted for the Benefit of United States Senators, ' Mr. T. A. Wood, grand commander of the Indian war veterans of the North Pacific coast, asks that the following. letter be given circulation by the news papers of Oregon, Washington and Idaho generally. Mr. Wood's address is Portland. He says : I have received several inquiries in the last few days from a number of United States senators, including the chairman of the special pensions com mittee, as to tbe probable number of Indian war veterans, including the widows of veterans, who would be ben efited by the passage of a pension bill covering all the period from 1846 to 1857, and what the probable cost would be to the government, together with other information that would be of value to the committee and senate. . This is an urgent call and must be answered. That I may be able to do this in a way that will be acceptable and carry weight, I ask every Indian war veteran to send me his or her age, name and address, and the name of the captain of the company served in. This is not asking too much. We must have this information.' Camp commanders, surviving officers, of companies or regiments, and county newspapers can assist this worthy cause, send in all tne information you have in your possession. Tbe original number of these veterans was in tbe neighborhood of 5000. The great majority have passed away. How many survive is what we are anxious to find out. We will be able to get a pension bill through congress if vet erans will write me at once. , Please do so. This is money in your pockets, and it will aid in benefiting all your comrades." Railroading In Webfoot. Mr. W. C. Allaway, agent for tbe D. P. & A. N. Co. at this place, re turned this morning from a visit to Portland, Salem, Independence and Monmouth, and reports having: had a varied experience railroading In Web- foot. He took passage on a west side train from Portland, and says it took the train three hours to make a run of twenty-six miles. At the various way stations wagons would back up to the cars and take oS or put on freight, and while this loading and unloading was going on, the passengers bad nothing to occupy their minds except to admire the scenery presented by Webfoot farms, the Coast Range mountains and the proverbial Willamette valley mud. Railroading down there is evidently a much slower means of locomotion than Is gteamboating on the Colupibia by the Regulator line. . Lett! Advertised.

Experiments in crossing rivers have recently been. made by. the Austrian cavalry with water-tighti .haversacks filled with straw. - Four of -these, were formed Into a sort of raft, held together by three sabers; on these five .men got astride, the foremost steering with a pole, and the horses were .led swim- ming. It took eight minutes to pre pare, eight more to cross a river 650 feet wide and 12 feetdeep.anc' two min utes saddle on the opposite bank; so tbe five men were ready for action on the other side in 18 minutes after the order was given to cross. Boats were also made with the haversacks, stif fened with iron bars or cavalry sabers, in which 12'or 14 armed men were fer ried over. Simple bnt Effective Menn. In arranging a meun it will be well to take for a motto the remark of Socrates when looking on at an auction : "How many things there are which I do not need." A good soup, one dain ty relish, such as celery, radishes, caviare sandwiches, or olives; a fish or meat, on or two vegetables and a dessert is a bill of fare within the com pass or any good manager, and one which would satisfy any Benedict. Card of Thanks. The kindness extended to me by the citizens of The Dalles and the assis tance rendered by them at the funeral of my late husband, Clarence V. Lane, calls for an expression of heartfelt gr'atetude from me, and I take this meas of expressing my appreciation of the many kind favors rendered dur ing my hour of affliction. Mrs. C..V.
