Last week Adam, the P-year-oid son
of Michael King, of 'Grass valley,
Sherman county, accldently shot him,
ealf with a 22-callber rifle. He was at
the sheep camp, and was out with the
gun. It is supposed he fell, retaining
hold of the muzzle of the gun, which
was discharged by the hammer strik
ing on some rocks. The bullet passed
through the heart, and death was in
stantaneous. ' The atmosphere has been in motion
today and with it everything on the
streets that was movable. As a result
the streets look as if they had been
swept with brooms, and are in a splen
did shape to receive the services of the
sprinkler. Their condition together
with the dust that has been in motion
during the day, leads citizens to won
der what has become of the street
sprinkler, and ask .why he is not out
with his dust-laying apparatus.

Dr. Hollister had an experience Sat
urday evening that proved him to be
quite a daring mariner. He was called
to North Dalles to attend Mr. Rorrick's
little girl, and when he started home,
the ferry had ceased running, so he
took passage in an open boat and
crossed the river In a wind storm that
made the seas roll mountain high.

Last Friday the steamer Regulator
made a great run from The Dalles to
Portland, making the trip (running
time exclusive of stops) In 5 hours and
45 minutes, or at the rate of a little
over 20 miles an hour. This entitles
the Regulator to the title of the gray

Wasco, Crook, Grant, Gilliam and
Sherman counties soliciting orders for
musical instruments, and expects to be
absent from the city a month.
The fishing situation is assuming
gloomy aspect at Astoria and rumors
of another strike are rife. The fisher
men declare that they must have 4
cents, aud since the New York firm
and the Trescott Packing Co. are pay
ing union prices for fish it looks as if
the cannerymen would either have to
meet those prices or close their "estab
lishments.
It is quite evident our correspond
ent "Consistency" has never indulged
in dancing, else he would find less of
evil in this amusement. His knowl
edge of this pastime has been gained
principally from reading musty books
and statistical data compiled by those,
who like himself, have never enjoyed
this innocent pastime when properly
conducted.
Judge William W. Page, ex-judge of
the state circuit court, and ex-associate
justice of the state supreme court, died

Fatal Dynamite Explosion.
Last Saturday William Kerr, aged
24, was killed near Cor vallis by a dyna
mite explosion. With two companions
he had for two days been fishing in
Woods creek, about 12 miles west of
Corvallis. They carried dynamite,
which they used in fishing. One stick
of the explosive remained, and they
determined to explode it, to avoid the
danger of carrying it over the hills.
Kerr, after lighting the dynamite,
threw It down and waited for the ex
plosion. The dynamite failed to go off,
and he stooped to pick it up. That
moment it exploded, killing him In
stantly. His companions, who stood
40 feet away, were stunned by the
blast. The accident happened at
o'clock in the afternoon. Kerr was
carriage painter, a popular young man
and lived with his family many years
in.Corvallis. He was unmarried, was
a member of the Maccabees, and car
ried a policy of $1000.

Io Mot Neglect Vonr Eyes.
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

great pain and suffering in old age.
Good vision is a boon to be cherished.

"Consistency" Prodocrs Statistics to Prove
This Assumption. -Ed.
Times-Moustaineek:
When 1 "submitted a thought or
two" to your valuable paper last Satur
day, I did not dream that I was to run
up against the infinite wisdom, the in
comparable wit, the admirable versa
tility and the high-strung philosophy
that revolve around the axis in the
sacred regions of tho upper story of
John H. Cradlebaugh, Esquire. How
ever, since he has thrown down the
gauntlet, and virtually defies me to
make certain of my assertions good.
cannot, and will not let such defiance
go bv default, although I really feel
like David going forth against old
Goliath. Still, if Bro. Cradlebaugh is
willing to lend me his eyes and ears
for a moment, and emerge from the
lofty pinnacle of his editorial great
ness, I shall make an houest endeavor
to produce statistics to back up the ob
servations I made, which seem to give
the above-named editor no little cause
for supposed unrighteous Indignation
I make bold to suggest right here
that the editorial of Mr. Cradlebaugh
is, prima facie, inconsistent. To think
that a man in this enlightened day,
blessed with unusual Intelligence,
should demand proof of the ovil and
dangerous practice of dancing! It is
enough to cause the morning stars to
cease singing together, produce their
pocket handkerchiefs and shed copious
tears, because of the blindness and
gross ignorance of the deviltry and
hypocrisy of the dance, of such indi
viduals as these. However, if such are
really sincere in their demands for
proof (and Editor Cradlebaugh seems
to be sincere) I can provide plenty of
statistics, and have more to spare,
desire, moreover, to reiterate that the
modern dance is the most subtle and
seductive agency emoloyed by his
Satanic nibs. Take all out of the dance
which contributes to the service of the
devil, and there will be nothing left in
the dance. It is one of Satan's choicest
tools for bluntiog the finer sensibilities
of manhood and womanhood, and, I
might add it is, perhaps, the unconsci
ous production of lust.
As one writer has well said, it is
hugging set to music, and that, pub
lie and promiscuous." Nine-tenths of
the men who dance would never enter
the ball-room were it not for this hug
ging privilege, which they know they
can't get elsewhere. Another thing,
nearly all of those whose aspirations
are no higher than the dancing school
and the fashionable ball-room
weaken their character, whllo on
the other hand, those who aspire
to a higher plane In life than the
mere level of the dance be it in
the ball-room or in the "respectable"
dancing school do everything to
strengthen their character and reflect
the image of their maker.
But space will not permit further ob
servations along this line. Now for
the "statistics" that friend Cradle
baugh thinks I am unable to bring to
light. First, I take up the statement
of my friend, Mr. T. A. Faulkner, ex-
president of the Dancing Masters' As
sociation of the Pacific coast. Mr.
Faulkner is, besides, an ex-dancing-"professor,"
who, after contemplating
the extensive evils of his "respectable"
business, and the ruin he had wrought
thereby, concluded to call a halt, and
expose the infernal art. Here is what
he says: "The most accomplished aad
most perfect dancers are to be found
among the abandoned women. Why
Because they are graduates of select
dancing schools. From two hundred
brothel Inmates with whom I have
talked personally, I gathered that
their downfall is attributed as follows
Dancing schools and ballrooms, 163
strong drink, 20; willful choice, 10:
poverty and abuse, 7." Again, the
made, and the order united with the
Pacific jurisdiction, lately established
at Denver, Colorado. The action of
the Pacific coast delegates, and espi
cially the part taken in organizing the
new jurisdiction by Mrs. Inez Filloon
delegate from Cedar Grove, was en
dorsed by the circle, and the members
of the grove were enthusiastic in the
praise of the Oregon delegates, all of
whom favorel the establishing of the
new jurisdiction.
Tho mseting last night was a special
reception tendered Mrs. Filloon, it be
ing the first meeting of the grove she
had attended s-iuce returning from
Denver. The hall had been tastefully
decorated for the occasion, and across
the room in front of the presiding of
ficers station was stretched in large
guilt letters the word welcome. The
exercises of the evening were opened
with an address of welcome by Mrs,
Ella Cushing, expressing the endorse
ment of the lodge of Mrs. Filloon's
action as tiisir delegate to the
sovereign lodge, and welcoming her
home. This was responded to by Mrs.
Filloon in touching language. Follow
ing the address of welcome and re
sponse, Messrs. Parkins and Simsgave
a guitar and banjo duet, Charles Clark
gave a vocal solo, and tho members cf
Woodmen Camp rendered a pleasing
farce. Then the ladies of tho grove
sang "Going Back to Dixie." and the
entertainment was closed with a
tableiu representing the motto of the
order, "Love, Wisdom and Power."
When the program was concluded,
the Woodmen and members of the cir
cle we-e invited to an elegant banquet
supplied by the circle, and thus ended
a happy and hearty endorsement of the
circle's delegate.
chief of police of New York City will
tell you that "three-fourths of the
abandoned women In that city took
their first downward step when they
learned to dance." The -matron of
refuge home In Los Angeles, Cal
says: "Seven-tenths of the girls here
have fallen through dancing and Its
Influence." Mr. Florls, of San Fran
cisco, another ex-dancing "professor,'
says: . "There are In San Francisco
2500 abandoned women; and I can
safely say that three-fourths of these
women lead to their downfall through
the influence of dancing." It can also
be safely said as to any other large
city.
If dancing were "a delightful pas
time with no more barm in it than a
spelling bee or a school debate," why
should such men as Bishop Coxe, of
Western New York,, say officially
"The gross and debasing waltz would
not be tolerated for another year if
mothers in our communion would
only set their faces against it, and re
move our daughters from its contain
nation?" Or why should such a largo
minded man as Horace Bushnell de
nounce It as "Contrived possibilities
of license which belong to high society
only when It runs low?" And why
should the convention of New England
Congregational pastors resolve that
"fashionable dances, as now carried
on, are revolting to every feeling of
delicacy and propriety, and are fraught
with the greatest danger to millions?'
Why should the late Gail Hamilton
proclaim with much vehemence, "The
thing in its very nature is unclean and
cannot be washed?" Why should
Webster, one of the brainiest statesmen
our nation has known, say, when asked
why he didn't dance, "I haven't brains
enough?" Why should experienced
physicians, eminent statesman, and
learned college professors, denounce
it as unhealthy, and conducive to the
impairment of the constitution, phy
sically, mentally and morally? Now it
be possible that Bro. Cradlebaugh will
question the authenticity of the above
quotations. If so, I cheerfully Invite
him to come to my library, and I will
produce them and take pleasure In
showing him volume after volume con
taining scores of similar expressions.
In conclusion, I would say that if the
editor of the Chronicle, or any one
else who possesses parental lnstincts-to
any degree whatsoever, and who, by
virtue thereof, are supposed to be shin
ing lights for the pathway of girlhood's
sweetness and purity, and boyhood's
Innocence and delight If such as
these dare to preslst In saying that
dinning, with its alluring and debas
ing tendencies, i) harmless, they say It
to their evealastlng shame; and If It
were possible for them to prove, in any
sort of way, that no harm arises there
from, or by the same process of (un
reasoning, dare to say that any good
can come out -of dancing; then, and
not until then, will I be content to
subscribe myself "Inconsistency"
instead of Consistency.

burned Wednesday night, and was a
total loss. The heaviest losers by the
fire are the members of the Frank
Readick dramatic company, which has
been playing an engagement at the
theater since March 29. The special
scenery carried by the company and all
the costumes and wardrobes of the
members are, ; with small exceptions,
was destroyed. The origin of the fire is
a mystery, but it is supposed it started
from the smouldering sparks probably
thrown when colored lights were being
burned during the performance that
had closed only a short time before the
fire started
John Considine, owner of the house,
has sustained a loss of about $2300.
The insurance was $1750, which, how
ever, does not go to the owner, it hav
ing been assigned to secure a mortgage.
The Readick company lost some $4,000
In costumes and scenery.
Badly Scalded.
Last Sunday afternoon a 10-year-old
son of George Brown fell Into a tank
of boiling water at Wood Bros.'
slaughter house, and severely scalded
both his legs from the knees down
The men at the slaughter house had
been scalding hogs, and after they
had left the room In which the Unk is
located, a number of boys went into
the room to play. Young Brown
while playing got too near the vat, and
accidently slipped in. His companions
rescued him as soon as possible, but
not until the boy's limbs were severely
scalded. Dr. Holisterwas called to at
tend the injured boy, and found him
suffering intense pain. The skin
was perfectly cooked,, and slipped off
the flesh when his stockings were re
moved. The boy Is in a very critical
condition, and it will be some time be
fore he recoveM.
! GONE TO BEST.
Tribute of a Friend to the Memory of
Miss Pearl Butler.
Pearl Butler, born at Ottawa, Kansas,
Nov. 29, 1878, died at her pareut's home
in this city April 8, 1897. She came to
The Dalles when 3 years old, so nearly
all her life had been passed in this
community. We have watched the
beauteous bud enlarging, unfoldiug
and the opening petals revealed rare,
rich promise of exquisit flowering,
She graduated from our public school
last June. The easy, quiet grace and
finely modulated voice with which she
read her essay, marked astrong nature
held in perfect control by an linper
ous will. Fidelity and thoroughness,
rare but highly esteemed virtues, char-
actenzeu an ner woric. fit-r
bright vivacious nature coupled with a
modest, unobtrusive manner, rendered
her a most agreeable and attractive
friend, and the facility with which she
performed all duties made her most
helpful in the home. These many en
gaging qualities of mind and person,
add greater depth to our loss. "We
mourn not as those without hope."' It
had bee u known to her family f.-r some
weeks that Pearl recogniztd God's
claim to her life service, but Jessie's
serious illness and death, followed im
meatateiy Dy ner own sicKness, pre
vented a public profession of faith in
the Lord Christ as her Saviour.
On Monday preceeding her death
she talked with her father of her feel
ing that her sickness was unto death,
"While I much desire to live for the
good I could do, if it is God's will that
I go now, I am ready." Wednesday night
unmistakable symptoms of speedy
dissolution developed and hope .of re
covery was abandoned.' Pearl, fully
conscious, with the greatest calmness
and deliberation, called her friends,
and affectionately and quietly gave
them her last goodby with some gift
from among the things she especially
valued. She made all arrangements
for the funeral, saying everything must
be very quiet for dear sick sister Carrie
must not be disturbed. Skilled and
loving hands strove to hold back the
dark angel until Nellie could reach
her dying sister; her last wish was
granted, Nellie came and she gave her
a parting kiss just as she steped into
the chariot of God. One radiant smile
settled upon the countenance, and the
listening watchers fancied almost they
heard the sweep of angels' wings and
as the celestial gates unfolded to admit
the heavenly train one ray of divine
glory shone down Into the hearts of
the weeping household, and Pearl was
at home "Forever with the Lord."
Saturday at 10 A. M. the funeral ser
vices were conducted as she had de
sired, Rev. W. C. Curtis reading the
words of comfort from the book, and
speaking of the strong foundation God
had put in his book for our faith in a
resurrection and future life. He tnoBt
toucbingly referred to the preciousi
triumphant death. Rev. J. H. Wood
made a short prayer commending the
stricken family to God's love and benediction.
Pearl was exquisitly beautiful as she
lay io the casket, in her graduating
dress surrounded by manv beautiful
flowers In lovery floral designs. Slowly
the sad procession moved to Sunset
cemetery. Dear ones had robbed the
grave of some of its dreariness by
covering it and its surroundings with
evergreens. The casket was lowered
to Its final resting place, Rev. Curtis
solemnly pronounced the words "Dust
to dust earth to earth," the choir sang
a hymn, beginning, "Safe in the arms
of Jesus," and Rev. Wood pronounced
the benediction. The mound raised over
our dear dead was completely hidden
with the beautiful flowers. Among
them was a lovely floral Bhip, it had
been presented at the graduating ex
ercises, and the same loving hands
had again fill-id It, and resting there,
with sails ready set, it seemed a fit
emblem of the voyage this beautiful
soul had begun. While standing near
the open grave some song birds in
clear, 6weet tones thrilled out a mel
ody as if in sympathy with the scene.
The family have the heartfelt sympa
thy of the entire community in their
double bereavement and their sincere
prayers for the soeedy recovery of the
still sick sister.

U cold.
But there when face to face we shall

common sence, all teach us that the
so-called "art" of dancing is but an
invention of the devil, calculated to
lure our noble young men aud womeu
on to lives of disgrace and disrepute
(as statistics will abundantly prove)
aad I hereby enter my protest against
such an infernal school as i his being
brought into our midst. The Dalles
has already a superfluous number of
individuals whose first steps downward
were in the dancing school; and an in
stitution of its character, audauciously
seeking the patroaageof unsuspecting
young people of respectability and re
finement, ought not to be tolerated in
large cities, to say nothing of small
towns like The Dalles.
Consistency.
No doubt the author of the above is
consistent, and has the welfare of the
young peopla of The Dalles at heart,
still there are many who will take is
sue with him as to the baleful In
fluences connected with dancing.
Many there are who sae no evil in
dancing so long as it is conducted with
moderation and in select society. It
is not the simple practice of dancing
that corrupts morals, but evil associates
that are brought In contact with the
young at public balls, where the riff
raff is allowed to attend, that is in
jurious to morality. Ed.

Hon. F. N. Jones never realized
what an advantage it was to be a giant
until last Saturday, out on that day he
realized that length of stature was
sometimes pretty convenient. While
the wind was blowing at the rate of 40
miles an hour, Mr. Jones, with some
half dozen men employed on his ranch
near Bakeoven, were seated inside the
bouse, waiting for the wind to lay so
they could resume work, and all of a
sudden were startled bv a loud ruarin?
noise. Thev ru&hed outside and dis- I
covered the roof of tho house ablaze.
Not having any appliance for fighting
fire, they hastily organized a bucket
brigade, but were short of ladders.
This Mr Jones readily supplied, he
being nearly seven feet in length, was
able to stand by the side of the house
and hand buckets of water up to the
men on the roof until the fire was ex
tinguished, though not until nearly
the entire roof was burned off. While
the fire was progressing, a spark from
the house lit on a rick cf about 20
cords of wood near the building and
about half of that was destroyed,
though outside of the wood and the
roof of the house, Mr. Jones' loss is
nominal.

A Fine Game of Bull.
Last Sunday the White Stars and
Champions played a fine game of base
ball on the fair grounds, that would
have been considered good ball play
ing anywhere, until the eighth inning,
when Ballard, the White Star's pitcher
gave out, and Fritz went into the box
and allowed the Champions to make
eight tallies on him. Had Ballard held
out to pitch through the entire game,
it would have been the best ball game
ever witnessed in The Dalles. The
champions having won off the White
Stars twice, now feel that they are en
titled to the Championship of Eastern
Oregon, and are open to challenge
from any ameteur club in the state.
The score by innings was:
12345678 9.
Champions 0 0411118 x 16
WhiteStars 0 110 3 11 0.18
Almost a Fatal Accident.
This morning Mr. and Mrs. Lyman
Daily, who live on Pleasant , Ridge,
started to The Dalles quite early Intend
ing to reach here in time for Mrs. Daily
to take passage on the boat, and when
a short distance from their home Mrp.
Daily was thrown from the bask as the
vehicle passed over a culvert in the
road. In falling her face struck
against the wheel of the hack, .break
ing her left jaw, and in coming in con
tact with the ground she sustained in
ternal injuries that may yet result
fatally. The Injured lady was brought
to Dr. Holllster's office and every at
tention was eiven to relieve her- suf
ferings. It Is Impossible to ascertain
just how serious ner injuries are,
though her physician expresses hopes
that she will recover.

The Easter Opening.
All Saturday afternoon the T. M.
reporter watched for an opportunity
to visit the Elite millinery parlors, but
his desire in this line was not granted
until near 8 o'clock, because there
was no room for a reporter to get in
to that popular emporium of styles'and
fashion, for the ladiet were there in
full force admiring the beautiful dis
play of spring and summer hats and
bonnets. Apparently they were at
tracted there as bees to a well kept
flower garden, and well they might
have been, for never before was such
an array ol pretty tilings displayed
in The Dalles. There were hats fit
for angels to wear (in fact nothing
short of such apparel would suffice, for
Dalles ladies are all angels), and how
any lady could make a selection from
a stock, every article of which was
just a lilllo prettier that the other,
was a mystery, still many selections
were made, though there are enough
left to supply the most particular fol
lowe of fashion. Mrs. Briggs Is in
deed to be oongratulated upon the ele
gant stock she displayed at her Easter
opening, and the ladies of this city are
also to be congratulated upon being
afforded an opportunity to select from
such a variety of styles and patterns.
