The reasons for leav ing the First Baptist church where the Lutherans have held their seryices heretofore are the following: First the conflict between the services of the two congregations in the morning and also the proposed evening service of the Baptist congregation which would conflict with the evening service of the Lutheran church.

The county board of equalization, consisting of the judge, clerk and assessor, is in session at the court house today, and will continue in ses sion all week.

The dredger Enterprise which the government contractors at Cascade Lo:ks brought from Portland proved inadequate to perform the xorfi of dredging the upper bay of the canal and has been taken back to Portland Xt is stated this will necessitate the ouiiaing or a new areager, nut we trust the report is unfounded, since that would delay the opening of the locks for a considerable time. Should this result, the people who have been hoping to see the last promise of the engineers fulfilled will rise up in in dignation and righteously condemn everybody who has ever had anything to ao with the lo'iks.

Senator Mitchell's Speech Was the Event of the M'Klnley Campaign. The crowning event of the McKin ley campaign in The Dalles was the epeeco of Senator Mitchell at the Vogt opera house Fiiday night. Fully 1000 people were out to hear the senator, a ad on the platform were a number of the leading republicans of Wasco county, including L. E. Crowe, presi dent of the McKinley club, Col. isin nott, Judge Mays, ss. L. Brooks, W. H. Wilson, Gov. Moody, J. H. Shearer E. L. Smith, V. H. H. Dufur, F. W. Wilson, M. T. Nolan, J. G. Farley and Chas. Bayard. Senator Mitchell was introduced by Mr. Crowe after a pa triotic air had been sung by the Mc Kinley choir, and preluded his address with a high compliment to Wasco county and an assurance that the county would soon forge to the front, since the hindrance to Its commerce, the obstructions to the navigation of the Columbia river, would soon be re. moved, by me completion of the canal and locks at the Cascades, a work he had been inst umenta. in securing. Mr. Mitchell then entered upou tne discussion of political issues. Protection to American industries and American labor he held to be the all important issue of the present, and affirmed that could only be had through the re-enactment of the Mc- Kir ley tariff of 1S90. In substantia tion of this position he compared the prosperity of 1892 with the adyerslty of 1893. The senator next took up the ques tion of tinance, and held that be was now. as ho always had been, a bl- metalist and in favor of the free coin age of silver, just so soon as an Inter national agreement could be reached with the leading commercial nations of the world. He explained the posit ion he took last January, mat inter national agreement was as impossible as the building of a railroad to the planet Mars, and his change of heart now, on the position is that the house of 'Commons of England, last March, passed resolutions favoring bimetal ism, so he concluded that England was on the eve of coming to an agreement for bimetallism, and further, that with with Mr. McKinley as president, an in ternational agreement might be reached, while with Cleveland, who is a monometalist, such a thing would be impossible. Finally Senator Mitchell wound up his address with an appeal to the people to stand with the republican party, because it was a friend to silver and advocated the placing of a more burdensome tax -upon the people in the way of protecting our industries with heavier taxes on consumption. At the close of his speech Senator Mitchell called for all who intended to vote for McKinley to rise to their feet, and about two-thirds of the audience rose and gave a yeh for the Ohioian. RECOVERED FROM THE WATER. Remains of Mrs. Tnrner Found Near flood River. On Saturday of last week the re mains of Mrs. Geo. Turner, who was drowned a sho-t distance above The Dalles on the evening of September 14, were discovered floating in the river near Hood River by W. A. Tack- man, a fisherman. After securing the body, Mr. Tackman notified Constable Olinger. of Hood River, who telephon ed Coroner Butts, and Mr. Butts pro ceeded to Hood River and held an in quest over the remains Saturday after noon. Following is the verdict of the jury impanneled to inquire into the canse of the death: "We, the undersigned jurors im panelled to Inquire into-the cause of the death of the body found in the Columbia river near Stanley's Rock, about two miles above Hood River, find it to be that of Mrs. Geo. Turner, a colored woman, about 27 or 23 years of age, who was drowned in the Colum bia river above The Dalles, Oregon, on September 14, 1896, by a skiff being 8 wept under a sjow while fishing. "Signed, W. A. Langille, Geo. T. Peathkr, M. N. Foley, Thos. Lacey, B. Stranahax, J. H. ROBEEG." After the inquest was held the re mains were brought to this city and burried in Sunset cemetery. The Health Question. We have no apologies to make to our respected contemporary, the Dalles Chronicle, for our strictures on our water supply. We do not pretend to any expert knowledge as to the cause of the disease that has taken from us already ono of our best citizens, and has several others In its deadly grip, but in the presence of a danger we believe in doing something, anythiag in our power to Sod that cause, and then urge its abatement and we will do this without fear or favor As a result of oi.r effort, an investiga tion of Mill creek has been made by competent and trustworthy officials, and their report will have a tendency to allay any f-ars about our water. But the cause still exists. What is it? Let us have a board of health; one with nerve enough and energy enough ta investigate, and to act on its find- lags. If the overflow of the Columbia has caused it below the bluff, or if de ficient -sewerage on the bluff is respon sible, let's know it, and take action. Cesspools are relics of past centuries of barbarism. No considerations of economy, public or private, should operate against their abolisnment. Let us have an active board of health that will need no stirring up with a sharp stick to do its duty. Our Water All Bight. Friday, at the request of Mayor Menefee, Marshal Lauer and Water Superintendent Norman Investigated the water supply of The Dalles, going up Mill creek some nine miles to the last farm on the creek, but found noth ing of a foreign nature in the creek that would lead them to believe that the water is impregnated with typhoid germs. They found the creek running freely as far as they went and the water perfectly pure so far as they could judge. The creek does not run through any corrals, and so far as they could learn there was nothing to indi cate that the water supply of The Dalles is unhealthful. Deatk of Mrs. Foley. Mrs. Benjamin Foley died at her residence on Tenth street in this city at 11 o'clock Sunday night. Her death removes another of the Oregon pioneers, and removes from the community one of those who aided in making the history of Oregon. She came to Wasco county in 1854, and has made this her home since. Mrs. Foley was 74 years of a?e at the time of her death, and besides her husband leaves five children, Mrs. W. H. VanBibber and A. Y. Marsh, of this city, Mrs. Willis of Colfax, Joseph Marsh, of Wasco, and Frank Marsh, of Eight Mile. The funeral took (lace fr- m the M. E. church, Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock. HEW TEN COMMANDMENTS. A Code of Laws Compiled fllatrou. by a Chicago Mrs. William Schmeukuii r, of Chi cago, was not satisfied with the com mandments laid down in the holy writ as being sufficiently rigid to control her already dutiful husband, and pro mulgated the following code. William however rebelled, straightway went into the courts and secured a divorce Here are the commandments which re sulted in the breaking up of the Schmeckbier family: These are the new commandments ten. Which wives now make for married men. 1 Remember that I am thy wife, Me ibou must cherish all thy life. 2 Thou shalt not stay out late at nitrht. When lodges, Menus or clubs in vite. 3 Thou shalt not smoke indoors nor out, Or chew tobacco "round about." 4 Thou shalt with praise receive my pies, Nor pastry made by me despise. 5 My mother thou shalt strive to please, And let her live with us in ease. 6 Remember, 'tis thy duty clear To dress well throughout all the year. 7 Thou shalt in manner mild and meek Give me thy wanes every weak. 8 Thou shalt not be a drinking man, But live on prohibition a plan. 9 Thou shalt not flirt, but must allow Thy wife such freedom anyhow. 10 Thou bhait pet up when baby cries And try thy child to tranquilize. These, my commands from day to day, Implicitly thou shalt obey. AM OLD SOLDIER'S ESTnUSlASM H is Always Been a Kcpnblican bnt Will Vote for Brian. Straws are said to show which way the wind is blowing, and the following letter which appeared in the Aurora, Mo., Advertiser evidences how many of the Union soldiers propose to vote o i the 3d of next month: Ed. J. White, candidate for prose cuting attorney of this county,recei"ed the following letter, which speaks for Itself: : "Ottawa, Kan., Sept. 24. 1806. Ed. J. White, Esq., Aurora, Mo. "A gentleman who formerly lived in your county handed me the Chieftan of Mount Vernon and in looking down the list of candidates I saw your name and on enquiry I found it was Ed of Sulphur Springs, Ark. He gave me the paper and I said I'd write you and say "Hurrah for Ed!" With tne pop. and dem. vote you will be elected. "Poor old Mo." will do her duty this year and give Bryan 50,000 or more. Kansas will stand by your side with 25,000 for the brave brainy Bryan. "I have a list of 116 names of old sol diers who are going to vote for him and I am sure I .will have 200 in this county before I get through. We have a very large number of republican Bryan men in our county. I feel con fident he will be elected. "I am an old soldier; served 44 months; was wounded in both limbs above the knees at the great battle of Chickamagua, Ga , Sept. 19, 1864. Have always voted for republican can didates for president since my first vote which was for Abraham Lincoln, but I am an enthusiastic Bryan man this campaign. "By the way, we are going to get a good many colored votes in this coun ty for Bryan. Things are stirred to the bottom, but we don't think Mark Hanna's gold can buy the people this time. We are not yet ready to bow down to Johnny Bull nor his tools in this country. Again wishing you vic tory, I am Yours Very Truly, G. G. WHAKTON." Mow to Make Money.

With the assurance of sc high au thority as Senator John H. Mitchell that the locks will be completed within the next six weeks, it behooves the citizens of The Dalles and Eastern Oregon to fitly commemorate so import ant an undertaking, which blazes a mark on the path of pioneer&hip com. uiuncing forty years ago in a cross roads trading point, aud starts well ou the way to the attainment of commer cial prestige of a thriving city. Even though engaged in the heut and turmoil of an intensely interesting political campaign, we should not over look the signitigeuce and importance of the completion of this work, which at last is to be borne into active pulsat ing life. From its incipient frail baby hood, as a government survey, all through the long, slow span of years the locks has been he pet project of our city. Sick unto death many times, delivered into the hands of its enemies, its sustenance withheld, poor doctor ing, worse physics, but at last this in fant of ours, in spite of all,hath arrived at maturity in a world full of trouble. ready to work for those who have toiled against all obstacles, that it might live. Men of sagacity and proven business ability have said that the completion of this undertaking would mark the beginning of an era of prosperity in Eastern Oregon. This is true. But as it is fuudemental "If a man does not work, neither shall he eat," so it is, "if a community does not orgauize and advertise when an important under taking is completed la t.ieir midst (and tue locks is national) neither shall tbey reap the beneliis accuriug to the inuividual or cominuuity who lets hi voice be heard lu tne forum." We should therefore see to It that the occasion should uot only be fitly celebrated but that the intelligence be dissiminaled far and wide that the pres tige which always results from large national undertakings successfully completed, the fame which is due to those who have toiled so long, the skill, patience and perseverance which has been exercised may be at least par tially rewarded by the applause and appreciation of the people for the benefit of whom a magnificent project was commenced. Upon the shoulders of the real estate dealers,properly organized, the burden of this niOFt fitly falls. It is with fear and trembiing that the writer breaks Into the peace and sanctity which hath enveloped like a garment The Dalles Real Estate Association for many a month. Gentlemen, if you are de funct, peace to your ashes. It has not been the habit of the writer to speak otherwise than with the deepest re spect of men or organizations who have passed the gates of physical or business dissolution; but gentlemen if it is a case of suspended animation, wake up, the world of competition and commerce pulsates around you, the noblest opportunity that ever man had awaits you and your reward will come surely. Lead the van and you may be sure that the solid commercial sense of the community will support you and uphold your hands. Our Commercial Club, so auspicious ly commenced, so successfully con ducted, with a future so bright with promise, will perhaps be the most potent factor in . this matter, and if they, through comm ittees, undertake it, the people may rest assured that a verdict of well done will be returned by all. The writer does not wish to be con strued as finding fault with any one. We are given too much to the spirit of criticism, which though necessary and esseutial sometimes, is infinitely less desirable tban the perfermence; there not being tho slightest risk that the supply of critics will run out for there are always enough middle-aged fail ures to keep the ranks full if the source of t-upply should fail elsewhore, If aught has been taid in here that should be complained of, charge It to youth and inexperience, and I extend my hand to all of you in all good faith and sincerity, for are you not "all hon orable men," to the end-that good may be done in the upbuilding of our community, whose interests none have at heart more than Veritas. THE AMERICAN DOLLAR. If Made et Silver is Good Enough - American People. for . Does the government itself have any use for money? Yes. What for? To purchase necessary supplies for its army, naval, postal service and to pay salaries, etc. How much doss the United States disburse annually for these things? About 8400.000,000. Where does tho government obtain this money? From the people. How? By taxation. Where do the peor le get the money? From the governmeut. How? By the sale of lab r and material. Does this government in time of peice compel any of its subjects to s ipply either labor or goods, except of their own volition? ' No; they do so voluntarily. If this government was to make one of these silver dollars and declare It to be good in the discharge of all public and private debts which it has a con stitutional right to do do you suppose it would have any difficulty in securing men to sit in congress? None whatever. They would fall over each other in order to serve. Do you suppose that the local trader would refuse to take that dollar in ex change for goods upon the congress man's return? No; of coursa he wouldn't. Would the manufacturer refuse tc take It for the goods now rotting in his warehouse? No. Would tne laborer wbo is now hungry and naked refuse to take it? No. Would the farmer refuse to take it for his unsalable produce? No. Would the government refuse to take it for taxes? No. Wbo, then would refuse to take it in exchange for goods or labor? England. What would the result be? We would always bave the dollar, and England would have its good. Isn't that pretty effective protection? Hata and Beauty. The filite millinery parlors were the center of attraction la The Dalles Tuesday, and when the Times- Mountaineer reporter was attracted thither he was not surprised, for on every hand be saw something to ad- mire. The parlors were handsomely decorated with streamers of purple and green ribbon (which he was in formed were the up-to-date colors of the present) and sitting here and there were rare potied plants interspersed among tho gorgeous head gear. And those hats, well they are beyond de scription except by a student of Worth, and the ladies, too, who were there to admire them, were all the stately matrons and pretty girls in the city. The reporter chanced to remark thai purple and green seemed to predomi nate in all things about the parlors, and one of the ladies whispered in his car, "those colors are indicative; the purple indicates everything around here is royal, and the green indicates our envy of every lady who becomes the happy possessor of one of these hats."
