it is likewise an aid to the digestion of

his m&ther go-ve him just before she
died," waiting for him to redeem it
inside of five days.
The barbers in Albany are compelltd
to draw the color line. A Chinese
went into au Albany barber shop last
Tuesday, but the barber told the Chi
naman that he didn't shave Chinamen.
The Chinaman went out mad and
banged the door so hard that a pane of
glass was shattered. Under threats of
arrest he paid the cost of a new pane.
Celestials have their own barbers and
this was an innovation. A darkey
who tried to get shaved was more phil
osophical and departed without a sign
of anger.
A. REILX TO WHITE STARS.
The Cham pious Claim the Belt and Will
Meet All Comers. .
Ed Times-Mouktaeseeb:
In tho Chronicle of April G appeared
a coDjinuriication from oneof themem-Ii-.ts
of the White Star base ball club,
lie s.oins to be a littio sore at the ter
rible defeat that his club suffered last
Sunday, and being unable to retain
his pontup wrath, is blowing it out
through the columns of a newspaper.
Ho says that in the first game be
tween the two clubs his club oame out
victorious, but wo s-ay they attained
tho highest score. It is & well-known
fact by all who saw the game that the
Champions purposely let them gain
the highest score to give them encour
agement and to make them think they
really could play ball, for the purpose
of getting another game with them, j
the result of which is now seen. Since
this White Star claims it as a victory.
it conclusively shows that he has not
"caught on" to the idea that the Cham
pions purposely let them win. For
their complete defeat last Sunday, h
gives as an excuse that three of their
best players, were unable to bo there.
and savs if it had not been for their
absence they would have won.
Every defeated party has an excuse of
some kind, and if they had had their
full team, they would still have found
some excuse for their defeat. But tho
truth of the matter is, they were fairl
defeated and have no valid exiuse to
make, also that the Champions in
tended to do it and not delude them as
they did in the first game.
They say they "dispute the cbam;
pionship of Eastern Oregon that we
have so fully won, and "hope we will
not retire without our laurels, etc,
We do not intend to retire, but are
ready to defend our title of "Cham'
pions of Eastern Oregon" against all
comers who can show any -pretense of
playing ball or who have a record
They want to play nest Sunday, but
we have fairly and completely defeated
them and won all honors that can be
gained by defeating them again. If
they want'to play the "Champions of
Eastern Oregon," let them first make
a record by winning a game off of
some one. Then we win rocogoiz
them. Deeming this a sufficient an
swer to their article of the 6th, we sign
ourselves "The Champions of Eastern
Oregon and the champions of all
the champions of Eastern Oregon."

Deatb?of Lattimer Booth.
Lattimer Booth died at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Hobart in this city
at 12:30 Thursday from hemorage
of the lungs. For some time Mr.
Booth had been threatened with con
sumption, and was preparing to re
move to Southern Oregon, but was
taken seriously ill last Monday, and
never recovered.
Lattimer Booth was born in The
Dalles in March, 1861, and has made
this city his home all of his life. Ten
years ago he was married to Miss
Nettie Hobart, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. C. C. Hobart. The result of this
marriage is two children, Hobari. and
Lea, aged 10 and 5 years respectively.
Besides his wife and two children,
Mr. Booth leaves a mother
and brother, John Booth, and three
sisters, Mrs. Mary Wilson, of Jersey
town, Pa., Mrs. Jennie Sharp and
Miss Caddie Booth, of this city." De

Tbe tesult is that Rossland is a quiet
and business-like town where one can
live in peace and as much safety as

a marked feature of the excellent din

Measles.'
At this time, while measles in yaried
forms is epidemic in and around The
Dalles, it might be well to call the at
tention of parents to the ill effects
that are almost certain to follow in
the wake of this ailment should not
due care be observed in the treatment
of the sickness and care of the child
afflicted. The same is true whether
it be German measles, ox measles, red
measles, black measles or measles of
any kind it is measles just the same.
The greatest care should be observed
that those afflicted do not take cold.
Don't let them go out of doors, and
don't confine them in a poorly heated
room. Give them an even temperature
and not too much light. Heavy colds
taken in connection with measles may
deprive the sufferers of sight or hear
ing, or bring about throat disease.
Do Not Keglect fonr Eiyes.
Many suffer from poor eyesight who
could be relieved, but neglect to have
their vision corrected in time to save
or improve the 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.
For some time past the resignation
of Prof. John Gavin, principal of The
Dalles public schools, to take effect at
the close of the present school year.
has been in the hands of the board of
directors, and at a meeting of the
board held Tuesday afternoon, Prof.
J. S. Landers, who has held the posi
tion of first assistant the past year,
was elected principal for tho ensuing
year.
During the four years Prof. Gavin
has been principal of the schools of
this city, his work has been most satis
factory, and it is a source of regret
that the district is to lose his valuable
services. However, ne will be suc
ceeded by an able educator, since dur
ing the year that Prof. Landers has
been connected with the schools he
has shown himself in every respect
capable of assuming the duties that
will be required of him as principal.
The action of the board in thus early
selecting Prof. Gavin's successor is
indeed commendable, since Prof.
Landers will be afforded an opportu
nity during the remainder of the term
to more thoroughly familiarize him
self with the workings of every de
partment, and will be enabled to con
tinue them in the same able manner
they have been conducted in .the past.
THE LABOB EXCHANGE.
Obligations of Members Who Join the As
sociation. The Labor Exchange is. wrongly sup
posed by some to be a secret political
organization whose purposes are to do
something dreadful. On this account,
the membes of the Exchange have re
quested the publication of the obliga
tion required of those who join the as
sociation. After setting up the age,
residence, occupation, etc., of the
member, the obligation reads as fol
follows: "In consideration of the rights,
privileges, benefits and protection con
ferred upon me as a member of the
'Labor Exchange Association' and to
the end that the property of the as
sociation, upon which the safety of said
benefits is based, may not he sacrificed
at reduced value by forced liquidation
in legal tender money, I hereby
promise and agree that for any article
or articles of merchandise and moneys
that I may deposit in the keeping of,
labor or services, I may perform for,
or for any certificate of deposit that I
may hold on said Labor Exchange, I
will accept as sufficient compensation
thereof merchandise, property, labor
or services of equal value."
This obligation has been held to be
binding by the courts, and stands as a
barr against actions brought for pay
ment of debts of the Exchange in
money.
Another, Young Ufended.
At 11:55 Thursday, after an illness
of 49 days with typhoid fever, Pearl,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Leslie Butler,
aged 19 years, sank quietly to rest and
went to join her sister Jessie, who pro
ceeded her only a lew weeks to the
land of the angels.
Sad indeed are the circumstances
connected with the death of this most
esteemable girl. Her life, like a morn
ing In spring, dawned bright and cheer
ful and gave promise of much useful
ness, but like the sun which sinks ber
low the horison, it will Bhine to
brighten another world. During her
long illness she bore her sufferings
with Christian fortitude, and when ap
prised of the fact that her life was
slowly, but surely ebbing away, was
perfectly resigned to her fate, making
only one request, that her life should
be prolonged until her sister Nellie,
who was in Portland, should arrive,
that she might take a last farewell.
This one wish was granted the dying
girl, the absent sister arriving just two
minutes prior to the final separation.
She was possessed of all hor mental
faculties to the last moment, and ar
ranged every detail for her funeral.'
In compliance with her wishes the
funeral will be unostentatious and will
be conducted from the family residence

vlser, or else go to Turkey and give
the saltan a few pointers. The author
of th'at piece certainly possess a great
mind, but it like The Dalles coalmines
is undeveloped. His baseball playing
is just like his great mind, un
ripe. Ue says in the first ganio White
Stars did not ''catch on' to tho idea
that tho Champions purposely let them
win. No, that is a fact; we did not
catch on to the "idea." but such a thing
as an "idea" could not materialize
from the brains of the Champion, bu
nevertheless as we were not playing
a gam of "ideas." it w::s outside of
our line of business to "catch on" to
anything except a base ball, which we
managed to "catch on" to often enough
and at all times in due season, to
"goose egg" them six innings and
score a resord that they cannot over
come with all their new fangled ideas
and ball games in big print. The
White Stars believe that the test of
superiority is best established by dem
onstration in the "field of action
and we stand ready at any time to back
up this proposition by results material
ized on the diamond and did not or
ganiz for the purpose of playing ball
or "ideas" through the columns of a
newspaper, although it seems so far
that this kind of ball is the one game
that the Champion (Chumps) can play
to perfection. White Star,

ITS THIRD ANN 1 VERSA RT.
Thin is Different.
In your valuable paper of last even
ing appeared an article entitled "A
Reply to White Stars." We must say
that the author of that masterly piece
should never follow the profession of
baseball but should at once leave for
Hawaii to be Queen Lil's chief ad-
Fora Lodge D. of 11. Celebrated Its Third
Birthday,
It has frequently been mentioned
thai Fern Lodge, Deeree of Honor, is
one of the most social organizations in
the city, and any one who attended
the anniversary Wednesday evening,
will willingly bear testimony that this
lodge is justly entitled to every honor
it has been accorded as an order which
maices sociability one of its chief
features.
Riverside Lodge of Hood Riyer had
been invited as the special guests of
Fern Lodge on the event of the cele
bration, and 36 members of that .lodge
responded, arriving here on the
steamer Dalles City. ' The visitors
were met at the boat by a committee
consisting of Mesdames Myers, Briggs
Cradlebaugh and Stephens, and were
conducted to the residences of mem'
bers to whom they had been assigned
for entertainment during the night
Tho visitors from Hood Kiyer were
Mr. and Mrs. S. J. La France, Mr. and
Mrs. John Parker, Dr. and Mrs. J. F,
Watt, Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Rand, Mr,
and Mrs. Wm. Smith, Mr. and Mrs. H.
L. Crapper, Mr. and Mrs. L. E. Morse,
Mr. and Mrs. W. Stranahan, Mesdames
Crowell, E. L. Smith, Wolford aud
Howe, Misses Ann Smith, Eva Slusher,
Anna Dufur,Eva Smith.Grace'Graham
Edyth Llndsley, M. Crowell and the
tvro Misses Sunderland, Messrs. Wm.
Crapper, Wm. Yates, C. E. Deth
man, Wm. Davidson, W. H. and J. R,
Nickelson, Geo. S locum and Chester
Shute.
When the routine lodge business had
been disposed of, Chief of Honor Miss
Mabel SterllDg invited ail Workmen
within the hall, and announced-the
program. It was opened witn a piano
duet by Mrs. Crandall and Mrs. Eshel
man. Mr. S. J. La France, with Miss
Anna Smith (both of Hood River) pre
siding at the piano, gave a vocal solo
entitled "My JJaa s tne ingineer,
which was heartily encored. The next
number on the program was a recita
tion "Shandon Bells, ".by Miss Beulah
Sterling, followed by a vocal selection
from Penafore by Dr. Eshelman, Chas.
Clark, Miss Sampson and Mrs.
Stephens. r
Before lodge had been called to or
der, tables had been spread through
out the hall aud ladened with most ap
petising viands, that caused all to long
for the time when they should be in
vited to seats at tho festal board, and
this time finally came. When the
guests and members ot the lodge had
been comfortably seated, Mr. J. H.
Cradlebaugh was called to the station
of toastmaster, but before he had as
sumed this responstbile position Miss
Sterling, chief of honor of Fern Lodge
delivered a most pleasing address of
welcome, responded to by Mrs. E. L.
Smith on behalf of Riverside Lodge.
Then Mr, Cradlebaugh proposed a
toast to "Fern Lodge, No. 25, the ban
ner lodge of Oregon," which was re
sponded to by J. A. Douthit; "our
brothers by adoption only," responded
to by Mrs. C. F. Stephens, and "our
sisters," responded to by Hon. J. F.
Moore. L. E. Mor3e, master workmnan
of River Side Lodge, A. O. U. W., was
called upon for an address, and enter
tained the assemblage with a humorous
five-minutes speech, and Mrs. Sunder
land, of Fidelity Lodge, of Portland'
offered a few appropriate remarks
touching the aims and objects of the
Degree, after which Hon. A. A. Jayne,
whose membership in the order is with
the lodge at Arlington, responded to
the lodges of the bunchgrass region.
When speech making was concluded,
the appetites of all had been sharpened
by gazing upon the Inviting spread be
fore them, and fully an bour was de
voted to discussing the merits of the
banquet, though this, like all other
good things was destined to come to an
end, and when the tables were finally
cleared, Fern Lodge's initiatory team
executed the very pretty drill that is
connected with , the adoption of new
members. This waa followed by a
social dance that lasted until 1 o'clock
A. M. when the celebration of the third
anniversary of Fern Lodge, No. 25, D.
of H., closed with members and guests
all expressing the hope that the life of
the society would be perpetual.
The Oregon Asked to Come.
As yet no definite time has been set
for presentation . to the baUle-ship
Oregon of the magnificent silver ser
vice secured by the citizens of the
state. On Wednesday, Secretary Mot-
tor, of the presentation committee, was
at Salem conferring with Governor j
Lord as to the time to be fixed when
the service will be formally presented
to the ofticers of the great battle-ship.
Yesterday Mr. Motter addressed letters
to United Stated Senator McBride and
others of the Oregon delegation in
congress, requesting them to urge on
the navy department that the battle
ship be allowed to come to Portland
during this spring, probably ia June,
so that the presentation can be made
in this city, and at the same time the
officers of the vessel can be properly
entertained. Oregonian.
