The grade on this side of the river

schutes, is , said to be in a dangerous
oendltiod, aod WouTdbeT16oked after,

Lou Morse, of White Salmon, was
in the city this morning. He said the
White Salmon strawberry raisers had
about finished shipping their, crop,
their berries having gone on the mar

sacks of peas from the Chinaman who
runs a garden on the old mission. He
had put the berries and peas into a
wagon expecting to bring them to
market this morning, but when he got
ready to start to town, they were gone,
Yesterday W. J. Jeffers was arrested
charged with assaulting a 12-year old
son of J. W. Koontz. Young Koontz
was tormenting Jeffjr's little girl, and
the old gentleman gave him a drub
bing, using the young fellow pretty
roughly. The case will be tried be
fore a jury in Justice Filloon's court
Saturday afternoon.
The river registered 41. i today, a
slight fall since yesterday. At Weiser
and Umatilla there was a rise of one
tenth, while at ail other paints there
was a slight fall. Pague ays the river
here will begin falling tonight and
will continue to fall until Sunday.
Warmer weather will occur in the Col
umbia river basin Friday and Satur
day which may cause" a rise here be
ginning Sunday night.
An accident happened to a wool team
on Deschutes grade beyond the free
bridge last week which has nearly
ruinedtbe grade. At that point there is
an almost perpendicular fall of 503 feet.
The outside wall of the grade is broken
so that the road is only about the
width of a wagon. Unles it is repaired
an accident of no small importance is
sure to happen as teaming over it is
now at the height of the season. The
break is in Wasco county. Moro Ob

If wo could trace dyspepsia to its
source, it would lead back to our
kitchens. In fact, the secret of good
health is good cooking. If well cooked,
food? are partially digested; TSpoorly
cooked, they are less digestible than
in their raw state. If you are a victim
of faulty cooking; that is, if you suffer
from dyspepsia, the rational cure must
be looked for in an artificially digested
food, and a food which will at the same
time aid the digestion of other foods.
Such a preparation virtually rests the
tired digestive organs, thereby restor
ing them to their natural strength.
The Digestive Cordial, as prepared
by the Shakers of Mount Lebanon, -is
just such a preparation, and a single 10
cent bottle will convince you of its
value. If your iruggist doesn'Ukeep
it, he wili be glad to get it through his
wholesale house.

The case of L. S. Davis ys H. H.
Riddell was speedily disposed of thic
morning. After they jury had been
empaneled, Mr. Riddell moved for
non suit which was promptly allowed
This is a case in which Mr. Davis
sought to collect justice fees off of Mr.
Riddell for a case fn which the latter
was attorney.
In mentiouing. the arrest of W.J,
Jeffers yesterday it was stated that the
conduct of young Koontz toward Jef-
fer's daughter was the cause of the
trouble which resulted in the arrest.
It appears that this is incorrect, as tbe
Koontz boy had not behaved unbecom
ingly toward tho girl, as will be shown
by evidence produced at tho trial to
morrow. '
On Tuesday the ferry boat at Uma
tilla was caught by a heavy wind in
the middle of the nyer and upset with
24 head of cattle, three horses and two
men on board. One of the men was
caught under tbe boat as it went over.
and it is said was underneath it 15
minutes before he succeeded in clam
bering on top. The men sta-'d with
tihe boat until it drifted ashore, some
three miles below where it turned over,
and all the animals but one swam out,
though one of the horses died after
reaching land. The boat was righted
up the following day, and was not ma
terially damaged.

. Idaho.
A 4:,ju yesterday morning a serious
collision occurred at American Falls,
Idaho, 25 miles this side of Pocutella,
between passenger train. No. 1 and
freight No. 22. The passenger was
waiting at the station for the freigh
to arrive from tho west and take the
siding, out when No. 2, which was
heavilv loaded with lumber, reached
the top of tbe grade approaching Amer
ican Falls the breaks failed to work,
and the train soon got from uncer con
trol of the engineer, and came down
tbe hill at a speed of about 60 miles an
hour. The engineer of No. 1 started
to back his train but could not get up
motion before tbe runaway train
dashed intobim, throwing the passen
ger off tho track and crashed into the

A Sherman County Sensation.
A supposed plot to sell a dwelling to
an insurance company has developed
at DeMoss Springs in Sherman county,
that causes no small excitement in
that section. A Mr. Cealey owns a
farm near DeMoss Springs that is
rented to a couple of elderly people,
and according to report there is an in
surance of $700. Mr. Cealey lives some
where in Washington, but was in Sher
man county last week looking after his
property. On Wednesday the. tenants
were absent from boms, returning
after dark. During the night they
were awakened by a choking sensation,
and discovered fumes of phosphorus
the house. It is supposed that Cealey
had spread phosphorus about the house
with the expectation that it would
ignite and burn the building. He left
on Wednesday evening's train for Pen
dleton, and an officer with a warrant
was sent after him. What foundation
there is for supposing Cealey attempted
to fire the nouse, has cot been made
public, but it is hoped he will be able
to clear himself of the charge.'

of tbe wharf boat, one of the posts to
which the wharf boat was fastened
gave way, letting the end of the boat
nearest shore swing out from the dock,
and causing the gang-plank that lead
from the dock to the boat to fall in the

A Most Successful Year In
Work Ended.
Another year has rolled around
the children who have been studiously
employed in tbe school room" for the
past ter months are em itled to a vaca
tion during the heated tei ra of summer.
That their labor for tho past schoM
year has been profitable was evidenced
by the perfect manner in which they
rendered their several parts in the
closing day exercises yesterday fore
noon. .
It whs indeed a joyous day ibr both
pupils and teachers, for it was the
closing of a most successful vear
The Dalles public schools, and it was a
gratification to the teachers to realize
that their labors for the advancemen
of young minds was so fully appreciated
by patrons and had had so good ok ef
fect in advancing the pupils. The per
centage of advancement tne past year
has been unusually large, very few in
stances having occurred where pupils
have failed to pass the examinations
provided by the board, and very nearly
all of them will be advanced to higher
grades. The exercises in every de
partment were exceptionally good, and
are deserving of more general men
tion, but space will rot permit going
into detail, hence suffice it to say that
tho program published bjlow was
carried out in full, and io a most cred-
table manner in each of the several

NEW CIAS GENERATOR.
An Invention That Promises to Itevolu
tlonlze Methods for Lighting Buildings.
A practical test is being made at the
store of Maj 3 & Crowe of a new gas
generator that bids fair to supplant all
present appliances for lighting build
ings, tbe invention cf E. D. Parrott,
of Goldendale.
Tbe device consists of two cylinders,
in one of which is placed water and
gasoline, and In the other a coil com
posed cf jute in which gasoline is
evanorated and the gas therefrom gen
erated. By a system of buckets that
work pneumatically, the evaporator is
fed with gasoline from the first cylin
der, and tbe gasoline beingforced into
the juto coil by a light water pressure
is readily evaporated without the aid
of heat, the gas generating at any de
gree of temperature above freezing
point.
The contrivance is erected in a small
building at the rear of the store, and
tbe gas is conducted to the burners
through ordinary pipe. The test is
being made with ten 40-candle power
burners, and the light produced has a
soft, mellow glow that is much pleas
anter than either ordinary coal ga3 or
electric light. From the experiments
thus far made, it is believed that light
can be supplied at about 10 per cent oi
the present cost of electric light, and
one of thecommendeble features of the
contrivance is that every user of it can
have an independent gas plant, as th
cost of generator for teu 4U-canule

In Loving Remembrance.
We, the members of J. W. Nesmith
Woman's Relief Corps, No,"17, desire
to express our sympathy to the be
reaved, and our loss of a member, -in
the passing beyond of Jennie Russell
Rufeno. Reared and nurtured in the
principles of our order, she was ever
interested and ready at any time to
aid in carrying on the work, and now
on the approach of our memorial ser
vices, we are saddened at the thought
of her absence from us, bub as she so
beautifully said two years ago, while
gathered around the monument,
"Cover them over with beautiful
flowers," we take it as a privilege to
visit her resting place, and call back
to memory her words so full of tender
ness and emotion.
Rest in peace, dear Jennie, and Me
morial Day will always find our willing
bands ever ready to coyer the dear
spot with "beautiful flowers." . .
