Sheriff Driver went to Mosier today to sell a quantity of attached lumber, to satisfy a judgment in favor of Mary Davenport against S. M. Meeks for $227. The employes at the depot are most charitably inclined people, and have opened a contribution box. All the wav from one cent to a quarter will be .. rf . received. S. F. Blythe, 6ditor of the Hood River Glacier, made The Dalles a fly ing visit today, coming up on the noon train and returning by the train this afternoon. Notwithstanding trade is dull, The Dalles merchants are filling their stores with seasonable goods, antic ipating a revival of business so soon as spring fairly opens. The acoustics of the yogt have been considerably improved recently, and all who attended the play Saturday night remarked that they could hear more distinctly than ever before. H. T. Hill and J- A. Perkins arrived , here yesterday from Prineville. Mr. Hill is en route to Albany, while Mr. Perkins will remain in the city a short time renewing former acquaintances, j Last Saturday afternoon Wm.

Farmers in the vicinity of Medfcrd will make a thorough test of sugar beet culture this season. They have secured a large amount of seed which they will plant, and will make a thorough tesi of the product afier it has been harvested. At 2 o'clock today the Hood River armory building, together with the ground on which it stands, was sold at sheriff's sale to satisfy a judgment held against the armory association for $570 by Geo.

The Oregon legislature and the Nevada prize fight have ceased to at tract public attention, and it will now be in order for the people to prepare to celebrate the Fourth of Ju y. Early? Oh, no. It's never too early to begin talking these things un and this is one of the instances where the early bird catches the worm. The Neal Dow anniversary exercises conducted by the W. C. T. U. at the M. E. church last Saturday afternoon were well attended and greatly appre ciated. A number of excellent papers were read describing the great temper ance worker's lifo and work, and sev eral pretty musical selections and ap propriate recitations were rendered. Three miscreants appeared in Re. corder Phelps' court this morning and received his mercy. One drunk, who had become so overloaded that he couldn't tell his own clothing and wore off auotber man's coat, was fined $15, another who was just reasonably' full got $5, and a vag was awarded a fine of $10. A11 are now in the service of the city. James Stewart, one of the principal sheepraisers of Sherman county is in the city today. Mr. Stewart is very anxious to see the Cascade timber re serve thrown open this season, and says if it is not, he with many other sheeomen will be forced to go out of business as they will be unable to find summer ranse elsewhere for their stock. Theater goers in The Dalles are excusable for not turning out to be humbugged by every barn-storming troupe that comes along, for they have been terribly bilked a few times the past year, but when such talent as ap' peared in the Vogt last baturday is billed for a performance, it is to be ro trretted that better patronage is not given. Complaint was filed in Justice Fil lorin's court by Mrs. Frank Cresling, charging .her husband with abusing and threatening to take be"- life, but when the case was called for hearing this afternoon the injured woman had forgiven her erring spouse, '"didn't want him punished," hence the case was dismissed on motion of District Attorney Jayne. The Antelope Herald reports the finding of a ledge of coal 40 feet thick and two miles long on Trout Creek in Crook county. At the depth of three feet coal was obtained that burned readily and made a good heat. A coal vein 40 feet thick is uncommon, and judging from the account of the find published in the Herald it is standing on edge, rather a peculiar shape for a coal vein to get into. The proposition of the Sherman County Sheepraisers' Association- to send a representative to Washington to intersede for the opening of the Cascade timber reserve is indeed time ly. If anything is to be done in re gard to allowing sheep to range upon the reserve in time to prevent the an nihilation of the sheep business it must be done at once,' hence parties interested should not be backward about subscribing to the fund. Unless the reserve is thrown open by the middle of May it will avail nothing to the sheep raisers, and will force many to go out of business. - FromTaesday's Dally. J. P. Mclnery came home last night from Portland. Charles Stoughton, of Dufur, was in the city this morning. Harry Hampshire returned yester day from a visit to Portland. Mr. and Mrs. C. C.

John Roth, of Kingsley, was in the city last night, and reported crops look ing well in that section, but the cold weather is having a bad effect upon stock. Word comes from Sherman county that the farmers are about through plowing and are now waiting for the ground to get dry enough to begin seeding. The sheriff of Crook county prevent ed a jailbreak last week by discovering in time a hole in the jail wall that one of the prisoners had dug out with a caseknife. Gov. Lord has expressed an opinion that the state taxes cannot be with held by the counties, but must be turned over to the state treasurer as soon as collected. Mrs. J. Reidy, of Albina, who has been visiting friends and old acquain tances in the city for the past two weeks, returned home on the Dalles City this morning. R. H. Guthrie came in yesterday from his Sherman county sheep farm. His flocks bave begun lambing, and despite the unfavorable weather, he has been able to save about 80 per cent. The appointment of Binger Hermann as commissioner of the general land office appears to meet the approval of his party friends in The Dalles. All seem to be satisfied with bis selection. Very little plowing is being done in the vicinity of Kingsley and Tygh Val ley, the ground being too wet to admit of cultivation, but a few days of sun shine and wind will set the " plows going. Yesterday the governor remitted the unserved sentence of L. T. North, who was sentenced to confinement in the county Jail of this county last October, and this morning North was released from the jail. North is the old repobate who was convicted of making an indecent exposure of his person before a number of little girls. Pease & Mays' spring opening last night was attended by a large throng of spectators who admired the displays in the store since it has been refitted and listened :o the choice music ren dered by Birgfeld's orchestra.

A sheepraiser of Antelore writes that there has been very little loss of sheep in that section during the recent storm. Vorv few of the bands have logun lambing as yet, and the general lambins season will not begin there until the first of next month. Yesterday Directors Doane. Adams aud Liebe, of district No. 12, visited Portland fo- the purpose of inspecting the school buildings of that city with a "iew to patterning after the systems of heatinsr and ventilation used there in the construction of the new school house here. Samuel Cozine, father of Mrs. J. L. Story of this city, died last Saturday at his home in McMinnville, aged 73 years.

Gibson, of Port land, spent the afternoon visiting in the city. Mr. Gibson is with the Irwin- Hodson Co., and is on a trip to Salt Lake City. He leaves on tonight's train for the east, while Mrs. Gibson returns to Portland tomorrow. A dreadful cyclone swept over t'.e southeastern part of Alabama yeste - day. The town of Arlington was virtu ally raised from the ground and in one school building eight pupils were killed, while eleven pupils and one teacher were so .severly injured that they will probably die. A New Yorker recently carried across the ocean a bicycle for which he had paid $100. Thinking to astooish the natives, he paid duty at the Ger man frontier and rode into a town, where he was led to a local agency maintained by the American manufac turer, and shown the same wheel on sale for the equivalent of $75.

The Necessity for It Shown by President Miller. Until within recent years educa cation of the hand has been neglected in our higher institutions, the mind only being cultivated; but the general government recognizing the necessity of educating both the hand and the mind has made most liberal appropria tions for maintaining industrial schooh in each slatf , and tbo one in Oregon is located at Corvailis in connection with the Oregon agricultural college, where all branches of mechanical art are taught. President H. B. Miller, of this'in stitution, delivered an address at the court house in this city last night up on the workings of the school and the necessity of industrial training. Prof. Miller is a practical man in every re spect, and is a firm advocate of practical rather than theoretical eduoatior. And as to the needs of industrial edu cation he is an enthusiast. The youth who is so trained that he is capable of taking hold of mechanical appliances and applying them to practical con struction of necessary articles, he holds is better educated an-J will become more useful than the onts whose bend is stuffed with theories, but is devoid of practical application. As to tho needs of indust rial training, the speaker showed "that America was a great producing and consuming nation; that the demands of the times were for men and women who comd enter our shops and factories, and by a combination of knowledge and skill, would be capable of constructing the pi-tducts demanded by consump iou in competition with the best minds of the world. The fiald too is wido. People who are capable of guiding the hands of others, who are capable of becoming the leaders of men and women in all branches of mechanical art are in demand at high wages all over the country. To fit the youth of Oregon for such positions is thepui pose of the industrial ' school which Prof. Miller represents. Careful train ing is given In iron and wood workinf, civil and mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and chemistry as well as in agriculture, horticulture and botany. The youth who takes a course in the college may arrive at per fection in any of these branches, and at the expiration of his course is pre pared to take a position by the side of the most skilled workmen in the line he has mastered. At the close of President Miller's address, Prof. Hedrick gave a micre scopic illustration, aided by the stere- opticoo, of the bacteria that forms upon stagnant water spreading the germs of disease, and the fungi that accumulates on decaying vegetable matter, also a microscopic illustration of a drop of stagnant water secured from the streets of The Dalles, show ing myriads of living insects flitting about through it. Next the professor turned his attention to the higher or ders of plant life, and gave illustrations of the system of propagation in creat ing plants. TO PRESRNT THtiiR CASE. Sherman County Sheepmen Want to Send a Delegate to Washington. At a meeting of the Sherman county Sheepraisers' Association held recent ly, the members levied an assessment of one dollar on every 1,000 head of sheen owned by the members thereof to bo used for the purpose of defraying the expenses cf a delegate to be sent to Washington to present the matter of opening the Cascade timber reserve for herding of stock, before congress and the president, or to ask that the limits of the reserve be diminished. The association proposes to pay this amount, provided the sum of $500 can be raised through the associations in Wasco, Gilliam, and Crook and Sherman counties and by voluntary donations from persons not directly interested in sheeprais ing. The matter has been laid before a number of business men of The Dalles who have subscribed liberally to the fund, and in all probability the necessary $500 can be raised. The sheepraisers have confidence in the desire of the Oregon delegation at Washington to some time be able to get the reservation thrown open, but it is desirable that action be taken during the special session of congress or at least before the season when the sheep must be driven to summer range, hence it is believed a special delegate, who goes to Washington especially for this purpose, can secure more speedy action than can a congressman or senator who has his other duties to at tend to. The matter of ooening the reserve is one of general interest to stock raisers and farmers of all the adjoining counties, for if the reserve is not opened the winter range will be eaten out completely by the sheep during tee summer, therefore what can be done in the matter should bo done at once. Two PleaBine Performances- It was indeed a appreciative audience that greetod the Stock welljBacon Co. at the Vogt last Saturday afternoon and evening to witness the two great plays "Romeo and Juliet" and "Mr. Potter of Texas." The first is much the best suited to the troupe, since the leading lady, Miss Dalglish, makes a typical Juliet, and her readings of Shakespear's charming lines are per feet. Mr. Lonergan made a handsome. impetuous Romeo, a generous, warm hearted lover and proved himself, a most accomplished actor In "Mr. Potter of Texas" Miss Dalglish had a most difficult character, that of Lady Annerly, an unscrupulous, scheming woman, and while she took the char acter admirably, her best acting was not fully brought out. Mr. Lonergan, as the Hon. Sampson Potter did some exceedingly clever work, but did not equal his personation of Romeo. The other members of the company furn ished very strong support, and in fact some took really leading parts most admirably. -The Stockwell-Baeon Company is by odds the best troupe that has visited The Dalles this season. and' should they ever appear here again may rest assured of receiving better patronage than was given them last Saturday. - EQUINOCTIAL 8TOKM PERIOD. " IiOOlc Ont For Storms From Now Until the First of April. This is thequinoctial storm period. The "equinox" is tho period of equal days and nights, the word equinox comingfrom two latin words, "aequas," equal, and "nox," night, meaning, therefore, "equal night." The inter section to tbe plane of the equator with the surface of the earth consti tutes the terrestrial equator, and with the concave surface of the heavens.the celestial equator, or equi noctila. When the sun, ecliptic, comes to 'this circle, on about the 21st of March and 22d of September, it makes equal days and nights in all parts of the globe. The March equinox is called the vernal equinox. Although winter in common par lance begins on December first, and ends on Fobruury 6; astronomically, it begins when the sun enters Capri- corna on Decemler 21, and ends when the vern ii equinox occurs on March il. A storm occurring at any time during the remainder of March, it will be merely the vernal equinoctial storm which a w ivs ccmes with mo. e or less severity. It may be tut a slight dis' urbanoi of tbe meteorologi-'al condi tions, but some change is found to take place when the equinox comes. ONE ' MAN'S DIPLOMACY. It Stopped the Baby's Crying and Earned Him Everlasting (iratltude. It was in an "L" train and a baby was crying with all the strength of its two-year-old lungs. cThe expression on the faces of the occupants of the car changed from indifference to pity, then to annoyance, and finally tt downright anger. Finally, says th New York Recorder, a man two or three seats from the crying child leanet over and snapped his fingers quickly. The effect was magical. The chilt stopped in the middle of a yell, and gazed open eyed and open mouthed a the man. lie snapped his fingers sev eral times, then, accompanying then, with grotesquely cheerful smiles and f peculiar shake of his head whicl seemed to highly interest the crosr cherub and appeal to his sense o. humor, for a wavering little smih crept around the corners of the droop ing mouth and the cries ceased fo good. The man leaned back in hit seat, bestowing occasional cheerfu, winks and smiles at the vanquishec foe. lie reaped his reward. The old fel low next to him declared he had diplo macy enough to make a prime minis tor, the men opposite peeped at him it f'-iendly recognition over the tops o: their papers, the woman near him witl nerves and a headache said: "Thank you," and the pretty girl in the cor ner gave him a sweet smile. That mat left the car followed by a score oi blessings, and the cross baby turnet over and actually went to sleep. CUTTER-RIGGED YACHTS. River Colne the Birthplace of the Grace lul ilrlcUh Cutter. Pearl and Louise were the firsi yachts with the distinctive cutter-rig. writes Capt. A. .7. Kenealy in Outing. The river Colne was, in point of fact, the birthplace of the cutter and of the graceful cutter-stern. The marquis of Anglesey may be said to have been tbe parent of Brit ish yachting, and his 'descendants 'have been glorious patrons of the sport. The old marquis christened his son, Lord Alfred Tcgct, by dipping him head first into the sea while a child in long clothes, from the deck of the Pearl. Every yachtman knows what Lord Alfred did for the sport in Eng land, and how capitally the prince of Wales and he worked together in de veloping it. Lord Alfred had the full management of the prince's yachts, Alexandria and Dagmar, both built for his royal highness by John Harvey. Lord Alfred, too, was the first tc recognize the advantage of the auxil iary yacht, and John Harvey designed for him the Xantha, the first of her kind ever built, and she was followed, in f.874, by the Hunbeam, Lord Bras sey's boat, made famous by Lady Bras sey's facile pen. The Old Sons. "This is the way I long have sought: And mourned because I found it not." Has been ths peon of joy and satis faction of many a traveler, who after weary days of unpleasant experience with this,' that or the other line, settles himself for a comfortable ride from Minneapolis or St. Paul to Chicago or Milwaukee in one of the elegant coaches of the Wisconsin Central Lines. Then again the inspired line of the poet come to mind as he seats himself at the table in the dining car on this same Wisconsin Central and finds himself served with the best meal at a reasonable price. For particulars address Geo. S. Batty, General Agent, 246 Stark St. Portland, Or., or Jas. C Pond, General Pasenger Agent, Mil waukee. Wis., or apply to your nearest ticket agent,. Death of Slri. Glavey. Mrs. Glavey, widow of Thomas Gla vey, died at her home near Kingsley Thursday afternoon, and was burried in Kingsley cemetery Friday, the funeral being conducted by Father Bronsgeest. Mrs. Glavey was born in Ireland about 76 years ago, and immi grated to America when a girl. With her husband, who died some seven years ago, and her three sons she came co Wasco county in 1879, settling near Kingsley, where new acquaintances were formed and friends were made whose ties of friendship were seyered only by death. Her last illness was of short duration, and comparatively painless, it being apparently tbe quiet and peaceful termination of one whose years are ripe and whose life has been well spent. About her death bed were gaiheaed her three sons, John, Thomas and Michael, together with their fam ilies, and the last sad rites were con ducted in the presence of a large num ber of sorrowing friends. Who Said So. The man who said that the hardest part ofan eastern trip came after leav ing the Mississippi river, never jour neyed between Minneapolis or St. faul to MUwauir.ee or Unicago, over the lines of the Wisconsin Central, for the accommodations oyer this route are unsurpassed, the connections are close, thus doing away with, vexatious delays. The dining car service is the remark of all travelers who go this way. A good square meal at reason able prices. For particulars addrese Geo. S. Batty, General A 'ent, 2-16 Stark St., Poitland, Or., or James C Pond, General Passenger Agent, Mil waukee, Wis., or apply to your nearest ticket agent The Indians' Burial Uround. The Dalles land office is in receipt of a letter from Acting Commissioner E. F. Best of the general land office, bear ing date of March 17, reserving and setting apart Memaloose island, in tne Columbia river, for the Indians on the Warm- Spring Agency as a buiial ground for their dead. This island has long been used by the Indians along the Columbia river and those located at Warm Springs as a place of burial, and the order that has just been made should have been issued many years ago. Gross-Mark Nuptials. At the- borne of Mr. and Mrs. An drew Keller last evening, Rev. L Gray pronounced the ceremony uniting in marriage Mr. Charles Gross and Miss Anna Mack. The wedding was a quiet, one only immediate friends of tbe par ties being present. The happy pair are well and favorably known in tbis city, having a large circle of acquain tances who will extend to them most hearty congratulations and many wishes for a long and pleasant married life. : - APPEAL OF THE W. C. T. V. They Ask the President to Iutcrven Against Prizefight ng. - Frances E. Willard, president, aaO Katherine L. Stevenson, correspond ing secretary of the W. C. T. 17., havt sent this appeal to President McKin ley to use his influence to discourage the exhibition of pictures of tho Car son fight: "Honored Ruler As oflicial repre sentatives of 300,000 members of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union ia the United States, we earnestly en treat you to call upon congress to pro hibit in the District of Columbia and throughout the various territories, tbe exhibition of pictures reproduced l; means of the kinetoscope or kinlrtd instruments of the CorVett-Fii.im-mons fight or any like exhibition ut any future time. "We lelieve in malting this request wa are seeking the best welfare of the citizens, especially the youths ii out line!, who would be brutalized by such lifelike representations of thes-i de grading snectacles. We learn that preparations upon tho largest t-cale a -e being made for invading t ot ::Joiie our great cities, but every vi:lugo and Haraiet with this spectacular perfor mance; that bad as was the iuliuence of the fight upon tho comparative few who witnessed it in person, it would be infinitely worso becauso so much more far-rer.ehing if thus produced. "We are making like requests of tho :hief officials and ltjrislatures of various states and have a strong hope that in a majority of them tho neces sary legislation may resvlt. We shall he glad to feel assured at tho outset that your personal sympathy must be vith u? , and your official sanction will be given to this request, so clearly in the interest of mortality." STANDARD AND LOCAL TIME. Geographical Location of the Five Longi tudinal Belts In This Country. With the enormous increase of rail way traveling the necessity arose for inventing some method of counting time which should avoid the complica tions arising from the use of local mean time, which varies with every mile of east or west travel. What is known as the "new standard time" was adopted by agreement by all the principal rail roads of the United States at twelve o'clock, noon, on November 18, 1833. The system, says the Detroit Free Press, divides the continent into five longitudinal belts and fixes a meridian of time for each belt. These mer-Mians are fifteen degrees of longitude, corre sponding to one hour of time, apart. Eastern Maine, rew Brunswick and Nova Scotia use the sixtieth meridian; the Canadas, New England, the mid dle states, Virginia and the Carolinas use the seventy-fifth meridian, which is that of Philadelphia; the states of the Mississippi valley, Alabama, Georgia and Florida, and westward, in cluding Texas, Kansas and the larger part of Nebraska and Dakota, use the ninetieth meridian, which is that of New Orleans. The territories to the western border of Arizona and Mon tana go by the time of the one hun dred and fifth meridian, which is that of Denver, and the Pacific states cm ploy the one hundred and twentieth meridian. The time divisions arc known as intercolonial time, eastern time, central time, mountain time and Pacific time. A traveler passing from one time belt to another will find hi.s watch an hour fast or too slow, accord ing to the direction in which he is go ing. All pointa in any time division using the time of the meridian must set their timepieces faster or slower than the tune indicated by the sun, ac cording as their position is castor west of the line. This change of system re duced the time standards need by the railroads from fifty -three to five, a great convenience to the railroads and the traveling public. GREAT PRESENCE OF MIND. How a Clever Yankee Fooled a Brace of Britishers. The residents of Staten Island, dur ing its occupancy by the British in rev olutionary times, were prohibited from keeping firearms of any description in their houses. A few of them, rever theless, succeeded in conccalin rr"11-"" and among these was a youu jnjn named Houseman. One morning, after the fall of a light snow, says the Argo naut, the young manr was out with hu gun in quest of rabbits, when a suddca turn in the path brought him in sigh', of two soldiers. Tho two parties sar each other simultaneously, and cacr stopped. Houseman thought cf the loss of his gun, and possibly of his life; but the senso of danger was but a stim ulus to his coolness and daring. He suddenly turned his back on the sol diers, and, stepping around thtarn, vaved his ' hand, as if beckoning to me one. "Hurry up!" he shouted; "here are two Britishers. Three of you go round to tho right, three to the left, and the rest follow me. Hurry up, be fore they run away!" The British ers, hearing these words and fearing there might be a small army about to sur round them, turned and fled. They even threw down their arms to facili tate their flight. What report they made when they reached their quarters is not known, but a detachment was at once sent out to capture the young man and his army. Their surprise and mor tification may be imagined when, at the turn in the path, they could find but the tracks of a single individual. Scale Is Not Killed. Many orchard is ts are of the opinion that the severe cold last November destroyed nearly if not all the San Jose scale in this section, and that spraying will not lie necessary this season. This appears to be a mistaken idea, says Mr. Schanno, member of the state board of horticulture, who has had occasion- to examine a number of orchards recently. While possibly some of the insects were destroyed by the November freeze, there are sail enough to do much damage, and unless trees are properly treated, the soale will appear quite numerous so soon as warm weather sets in. Trees should be sprayed during this month or in the first week of April in order to destroy scale, and Mr. Schanno recommends the immediate application of the lime and sulphur sprays for which the for mula and directions for using were printed in the Times-Mountaineer some time since. Do Ifot Neslect Your Ey ea. Many suffer from poor eyesight who could be relieved, but neglect to have their vision corrected in time to save or improve tbe sight, and as age creeps on they are afflicted with blindness or blurred vision instead of having strong bright eyes. Do not deceive yourself. If you have defective sight, do not pro crastinate, but have your eyes attended to at once, and thus saye yourself great pain and suffering in old age. Good vision is a boon to be cherished. Dr. Lannerberg, office in Vogt block, will examine your eyes free of charge. Going; Ahead. There possibly will be no boom in The Dalles this year, but there will be substantial and steady growth. At least the city will not stand still, and while there are no business buildings nder contemplation at present, there will be a number of fine residences built. Judge Bennett, Judge Blakeley and Hon. E. O. McCoy are contemplat ing building residence during the summer. Besides these dwellings, tbe I Catholic church will most likely erect an edifice that will cost in tho neigh borhood of 812,000, and the school dis trict wiil put up an oight-room, fire proof school bouse on the Academy Park grounds. Those buildings to-gethi-r with tho two cottages J. T. Petcvs has under eoustruction at pres ent will make quite a respectable growth for The Dallas for ono year, and show that it is going ahead rather thau retrogress-anar. A Neat Calendar.
