HONOR TO TUB DEAD,
Fitting Tribute to tbe Memory of
Cltl
sens anf Soldiers,
Memorial day was doubly observed
in The Dalles. Memorial services were
conducted at the M. E. church Sunday
evening, where Rev. J. H. Wood de
livered a patriotic address, doing hon
or to the departed citizen and soldier
alike, and Monday afternoon the G,
A. R. and W. R. C, under the escort
of Co. G, O. N. G., proceeded to Sunset
cemetery to place garlands upoa the
graves of those who have gone to the
beyond.
The exercises at the cemetery were
brief but singularly impressive.- A
large number of citizens were in at
tendance and the throng which gath
ered around the soldiers monument
showed by their deportment how deep
ly significant the day was to them ill
The ritualistic exercises were con
ducted by H. H. Leonard, commander
of tbe local G. A. R. post, and the
beautiful language and sentiments of
the service, lent a solemnity to the
proceedings which few occasions cre
ate. The exercises were intersperced
with sinking by the High School quar
tete. As it had been requested in tbe gen
eral orders that Lincoln's oration at
Gettysburg should be " given a promi
nent place in theday's observance, Col,
J. M Patterson stepped to the front
and read that matchless production
Among all the heritages which orators
have left to succeeding generations
the words of tbe martyred president
uttered on . the day of dedicating the
Gettysburg cemetery will occupy. front
rank.
At the conclusion of this part of the
program tbe old soldiers filed in line
around the monument, each one de
positing a floral tribute as he spoke
the name of the company and regiment
to which he belonged. It was an im
pressive and instructive sight to see
tbe veterans thas honoring their fallen
comrades and it was a privilege which
our boys and girls could well esteem.
that though removed from the active
scenes of deadly war they were able to
see the peaceful commemoration of the
nation's triumph participated in by
men who bore the brunt in those awful
days
After the soldiers had finished their
exercises the Womans Relief Corps
took up the program and passed
through a beautiful and touching rit
ualistic service. There was an abun
dance of floral tributes, and ere the
close of the proceedings the soldiers'
monument was hidden in a bank of
roses. At tbe close "America" was
sung, soldier and citizen, veteran and
youthage and innocence all joining in
the words of that grand old song.
Many of the graves were appro
priately decorated and after the conclu
sion of the exercises a detail of Na
tional Guardsmen placed tributes of
commemoration on the resting places
of those of their comrades who have
heard the last tattoo. -
Although the day was blustery the
memorial services lacked nothing to
make them appropriate, and as the
silent throng filed out the cemetery
gate it was with a feeling that the
lessons of patriotism cannot be too
deeply learned.
Choked and Robbed.
Abort 10:30 Friday evening G. Sand
man n, a carpenter who rooms in the
east end, was overpowered in the alley
next to the Times-Mountaineer of
fice, and was robbed of $5.55 in coin, his
tobacco and a few other articles he had
in his pockets. He was passing south
on Court street, and when opposite the
alley, was overtaken by two men, one
of whom, a large, powerful fellow,
threw - his arm around .Sandmann's
neck and dragged him off the sidewalk
and into the alley. While the big fellow
held and choked him into insensibility,
nis companion, who was smaller, went
through Sandmann's pockets and re
lieved him of his possessions. The
citv authorities believe thev have the
robbers spotted, and arrests will nrob-

THE PRIDE OF THE DALLES.
Our Schools and Their Graduates are the
Pride of the City.
Friday of last week closed a very
successful school year In this city,
marked advancement having been
made in all departments, and a class of
thirteen bright young men and women
graduated from the high school, who
are a credit to the city in which they
reside. The graduating exercises were
conducted at the Vuart opera hcuse
Saturday evening, and were attended
by fully 1000 people, all of whom were
attentive listeners to the orations and
essays.
The exercises were opened with an
anthem by the high school chorus, fol
lowed by the class history, in which
Miss Frances H. Fonts gave a brief
sketch of the life of each of the thir
teen graduates. This was followed by
an oration entitled "Whom Does the
World Owe a Livingr" With this as
his subject, Victor E. G. Schmidt took
the position that first of ali, the world
owed aliving to the agriculturalist who
goes into the fields and produces food
for the rest of humanity, then to those
who toil with hands and minds to cre
ate necessities, to the followers of pro
fessions. to teachers and to those who
make our laws and those who defend
them, but that it does not owe a living
to the droan or sluggard, who neither
exerts himself mentally nor physically.
His wa3 indeed an able address, and
evidenced a most careful study of the
subject. Miss Trudie Rowland then
rendered a pleasine little song, "I
Have a Little Doll, Dears."
"Looking Forward" was the subject
chosen by Miss Beulah B. Sterling,
and tbe idea advanced and very ably
maintained was that looking forward
to the possibilities of the future was
tbe incentive which spurred tho human
mind to deeds of valor and ail high at
tainment. Following this oration Miss
Ethel B. Deming read a carefully pre
pared essay entitled '-Music and Its In
fluence." Miss Deming showed a high
appreciation of the beautiful and of
the refining influence of music, dis
playing much tact in rounding sen
tences together to convey her ideas of
the art which she was discussing.
After the high school quartet had
rendered the "The River of Time"
Arthur Stubling. president of the 1897
class, delivered a masterly oration, the
subject of which was "If Washington
Should Return." The patriotism of
the fathers of the republic were re
cited in glowing terms, and a compar
ison was drawn between their love of
country and that shown by the states
men of today, rather to the discredit of
the latter. Mr. Stubllng's delivery is
perfect and his oration throughout was
well worded. "The Love of Our Na
tive Land" was the subject of an ora
tion delivered by Miss Maie Elanor
Elton. Scarcely could a more fitting
subject have been chosen, and few in
deed could have handled it more ably.
The cation was a gem throughout,
and was delivered in a manner that
showed the young lady fully conver
sant with her subject and perfectly at
ease before an audience. Misses Clara
Nickelsen and Florence Hilton ren
dered a splendid piano duet, after
which Miss Georgia Bonny read an es
say "Wasco County in 1997," in which
she gave a brief history of the early
settlement of the country and then
pictured a future for it one hundred
yqars hence, Which if realized will re
sult in many changes for the better-'
ment of those who come after this gen
eration. Carlton Earl Sanders took
the subject "Problems America Has
Solved," and from it drew many valu
able thoughts. He recited the achieve
ments that have been accomplished by
Americans in founding aiid maintain
ing the most liberal government ever
known, and the advancements they
have made in science, literature and
art, and from this drew the conclusion
that anything is possible with the
American people. His oration was re
plete with valuable thought, and meri
torious conclusions.
To Miss Harriet A. Marden had been
assigned the task of drawing back tbe
veil which obscures the future, and
telling what was in store for each of
the members of the class, and the car
eer which she read for all except her
self, it is hoped will be realized in the
fullest extent. After the- rendering of
'Morning Chorus" by a double quartet,
Dr. O. D. Doane, chairman of tbe
school board, presented the diplomas,
at the same time extending a hearty
congratulation to the class for the at
tainments they have thus far reached.
The exercises were concluded with the
song "Hark, They Come," by the
high school chorus.
Four of the class, Misses Emma Bon-
ney, JLlva May Ureighton, and Ketta
Olive Taylor, and ,V!r. Orson Dayton
Taylor bad each prepared an oration
for the occasion, but had kindly given
way to the others, allowlug their ora
tions to be omitted in oraer that the
exercises should not be too long.
C LOSING EXERCISES.
How They
Were Conducted
Btreet School.
at Court
The Dalles, May 29, 1897,
ED. TlMKS-MOtJNTAINEEB:
Thinking that your readers might
like to hear from one,' who spent
pleasant hour in attendance upon tbe
closing exercises of the Court street
school,! send the following:
The three schools under the leader
ship of their teachers, Misses Cheese,
Ball and Snell united in the exercises
holding them in the large upper room
of the brick building.
The exercises at the close of the
school year are always interesting; and
to the children mark one of the most
enjoyable days in school life, and in
these exercises at this building they
truly did seem to enjoy themselves.
The program began with "A Song
of Spring," It was sung by eight little
girls (dressed in white); and their
voices blended in unison and their
happy faces showed the joy thatepring
brings to their lives.
Eva Bagley recited a cornicle selec
tion entitled "Getting an Early Start,
which was well received.
Lulu Hoyle's recitation "Back to
Griggsby" was nicely recited and en
joyed.
The vocal solo by Lulu Nicholas
described the arrival , of little baby
brother "who came to stay" and the
troubles experienced by the four-year-
oli In consequence. '
They say" and its effect on us all.
was what Luella Nelson told us about
in her recitation.
Dean James recited a pathetic little
poem entitled "Papa's Letter." It was
nicely delivered.
The instrumental selection by the
little ladies, Una Wilson and Madge
Varney, was appreciated.
Hugn Frazier delivered the recita
tion "The Dying Soldier" in Hugh's
best style.
The Calesthenic drill by ten girls
was one of the marked features of the
exercises and showed what patient
drill can accomplish.
Roy Hill recited "Johnny's Solilo
quy." It described a boy who wanted a
little encouragement and who didn't
like the old song, "I did better than
that when I was young."
"The Birds Song" sung by twelve
girls was very nicely rendered.
Hazel Waud's recitation "Little
Black Eyed Rebol" was nicely recited
and received merited applause.
The instrumental solo by Emily
Crossen was appreciated.
The Cantata entitled "Queen of
Good Gifts" by forty-eight pupils
caused the most applause and really
was "a crowning , success," in which
all entered with enthusiasm it should
be seen to be appreciated.
Music by tbe school quartet entitled
"Good-bye" with its echoing refrain,
was the last but not least on the pro
gram. We believe that these exercises
should be encouraged and that parents
should show their regard for the
schools by attending them.

THE WAVE OF PROSPERITY.
It is Not Jleing Realized In Any Class or
industry In the Country.
Editor Timks-Moustaiseer :
Last fall the republican papers and
campaigners warbh-d sweetly of Mc
Kinley and prosperity. The promise
was, that prosperity would date from
the moment it was known thatMcKin
ley was elected. That would restore
confidence, and confidence was the
only factor needed. Money was plen
tiful, and would seek investment iu a
thousond channels that would demand
labor. . But what do we see industry
half paralyzed, trade stagnant, values
depressed and still shrinking, enter
prise stilled and the productive' power
of labor palsied, our commerce idle
upon the sea, our immense resources
useless in cur hands. .
Business reporters like Dun & Co.
or Bradstreet's report a gloomy out
look. In a recent report Bradstreet's
says: "The unexpected falling off in
the request for staple goods within a
month results in a period of compar
ative calm at a time when a general
revival in demand had been looked
for." This calm is paralysis: this
calm is stagnation, brought -about by
enforced idleness. Again, Bradstreet's
says: "Interior merchants continue
to buy for near-by wants." That is,
they buy a supply for only a few days,
a sort of band to mouth trade, a lack
of confidence or a lack of money that's
not cowardly.
Dun says: "Nothing can be said rf
the cotton manufacture, which still
lacks demand enough to lift prints
above the lowest point ever known,
and prices of other grades of cotton do
not improve."
These reporters are probably not
politicians, but giveaus the solid facts
as they exist. Again, the American
Federation of Labor, in a memorial
sent to the president, his cabinet and
to congress, a few days ago, declare,
that destitution among laborers is in
creasing until it is already appa'line.
In this memorial they state that
three million workers are idle. Well
may these toilers in the language of
their memorial ask: "Whether the
interests of trusts and syndicates, mon
opolies, corporations and moneyed
men, is of more importance than the
welfare of the toilers."
Thus it is that business and organ
ized labor speak of the promisad pros
perity, promised not in faith of full-
fillmeut, .but for the purpose of giving
advantage to the money kings in their
great effort to debase and subjugate
labor. Organized labor is sweating
under its load of keeping up wages,
and ere long that, sweat of blood will
flow, to scorch and dry up the little
selfish prosperity that gold has brought
to a few. Zsno.

Messrs. Nolin, Douglas and a few
others have returned fro n a sheep
shearing tour and report good luck in
general and a fine clip of wool.
The weather has been qnite change
able for a few days, now and then
threatening rain, now beat, now cold,
now calm, now blowing.
Last Friday evening the Artisans
organized here with quite a respecta
ble membership. Wo heard the titles
of office and those chosen but they
were so new and strange we have for
gotten, (the titles.) They are i.11
highly pleased, as men ever are when
they have ladies with them.
. The Sunday school had a children's
day last Sunday, and from all accounts
must have had a very fine time. The
church was tastefully and elaborately
decorated for the occasion.
A fortune-teller has been reading
the fortunes of a number of our young
people, and of a few not so young, as
the act would indicate, fleecing them
to the ordinary tune of a half dollar.
Whe'her the fortune-teller is a gipsy-
queen or some other queen. . we were
not informed.
Many of our farmers are now en
gaged in getting in their supply of
wood, even Sherman county is repre

go through our town.
The weary fisherman may now and
then be seen wending his way to the
mountains, but no great fish stories
have a later date than last year. Mr.
Schanno, of your city, came out here
fishing with a sort of red, yellow bait,
that he called worms, but which was
found to be salmon eggs, and created
something of a sensation by tilling his
basket along the places where our
youth had worn Itself out in vain at
tempts. I am inclined to thins some
one lied on Schanno. Q. R. X.

Weird Scones at the Funeral of
Mcjavo Indian.
An Occasion of Feasting Among the
Hungry Children or the Desert
Strange and Itevoltln
Ceremony.
Dan Murphy, who owns the greater
part of all that is valuable in the town
of .Needles, was in ban J; rancisco re
cently.
"A short t:nie ago," he said to an Ex
aminer reporter, as he leaned over the
counter and pulled his big soft hat
thoughtfully over his eyes, "I took
part in one of tho btrangest funeral
ceremonies that was ever seen in the
west. The corpse was that of Capt
Joe, the old chief of the Mojaves, and
who was one of the best known Indians
In the west. Joe v.-as one of my friends
for years, and while just a plain every
day sort of a buck in life, lie was some
thing of a philosopher and an all
round good fellow in his way, although
tie was inclined to drink a little too
much when he could get it. A couple
of vears aco Jce came to me, and, in
one of his bursts cf confidence, told
me that, ns he was growing old, and
he realized that his strength was fail
ing, he had deckled to prepare for
death. lie had told his relatives, he
said, that when he died he wanted me
to take charge of the body and give
him the best send-off I could. He
wanted the thing- done up in regular
Indian stvl, but he wanted 'it to be
about the finest tiling, of the kind that
could be arranged.
" 'Me hcup hi? Injun, Dan,' he sug
gested. 'Heap hoes, heap cow, heap
sheep, llvurabydie. You fix um.'
"I promised to do the best I could,
and thought no more about it for a
long time. One night, however, some
weeks ago I was aroused from a deep
sleep by a noise in my room, and when
I awoke I discovered a number 'of
bucks and equaro standing about my
bed, They had an old-fashioned tin
lantern, such as our grandfathers
used, with holes punched in it to let
the litrht shine through from a tallow
candle that burned dimly inside.
Thev told me that the chief was dead
and that they had come as requested
to have rae arran're for the funeral.
They vero bent on having it take
place at once, but I persuaded them to
wait until raormurr.
"On the following- day we burned
Caot. .Toe on tho banks of the Colora
do, about two ini'es from town. The
Indians came for miles and gathered
by hundreds to rec their chief started
on his long- journey to the happy hunt
ing grounds. Bundles of mesquite
wood were brought by willing hands,
and when they had been formed into
an enormous heap the body of Joe was
placed on tho ton and a match applied
at the bottom. As the flames caught
the dry wood and licked their way up
ward the Indians formed a great circle
about the fuicrr.l p; re, and with the
most-fantaslio pyrations of the body
wailed a funeral dirge go weird that I
actually felt the cold chills chase each
other un mv t-uinal column. This con
tinued for hours, but at last the pyre
burned out and the body was reduced
to ashes. These thev covered with a
heap of dirt, and then the feast began..
"Nine horses, cizz COW3 and seven
sheep were slaughtered in quick order,
and while tho flc.Ui was still quivering
they cut the carcasses into huge sec
tions and throw them into steaming
pots that hung over great fires built
in pits 'dug' for that purpose. While
this was going- on the Indians stood
about eager for the feast, and the mo
ment tho CerJi was cooked through
there was a scrr.ir.ble. A buck or a
squaw Would Jceie a chunk of half-
cooked horseilesti, and, eating it with
the avidity of a wild animal, would
make a raid on the beef, following it
with an attack on the mutton. In this
way they would cat until they were
completely gorged, and would crawl
off inthc iuLh and rleep only to awake
and feast afresh. For three days and
nights this continued until every
mouthful of meat was eaten and the
bones picked clean. During the entire
time the widow of the chief -was not
allowed to cat, but, with her face
painted black with grease taken from

BACTERIA AND TOBACCO.
A. Theory That Inoculation May Improve
tbe Flavor of the Leaf. .
.It would hardly be imagined that
there was much connection between
bacteria and tobacco, but the progress
in the science of bacteriology, which
is now making such rapid strides, has
shown that such is tbe case. Although
some bacteria are so deadly, others are
found to be of the greatest possible
service to mankind. It has been dis
covered that these minute organisms
play an important part in determining
the quality of tobacco. The leaves of
the tobacco plant before they are
worked up into cigars and finally
handed over to the public undergo cer
tain fermentative changes. It was
formerly supposed that the alteration
in their condition thus brought about
was due' to purely chemical changes,
but some experiments recently made
arc regarded by the Louisville Courier
Journal as going to show that these
important results are brought about
by Lpecial micro-organisms. In .a pa
per read before the German Botanical
society, Suchland gives an account of
his investigations on the bacteria
found in different kinds of tobacco,
fte ha3 examined fermented tobaccos
from all-parts of the world, and found,
that they contain plenty of micro
organisms, although but few varieties,
as a rule, but two or three different
spccie3 in any particular brand, and
but rarely micrococcus forms. He
finds that pure cultures of bacteria ob
tained from o::o kind of tobacco and
inoculated on to another . kind gener
ated ia tba latter a taste and aroma re
callinjr tho last a and' aroma of the
originr-l tobacco from which the bac
teria had been in the first instance ob
tained. This discovery suggests great
possi oiiitics. T hus, it is hinted that in
the future it may be possible to raise
ihe quality of German tobacco, not so
much by carefnl ctlture and judicious
selection of varieties, which has so far
proved comparatively unsuccessful, as
oy inocuiatm? with pure cultures of
bacteria f-ur;d ia some of the fine for-
cm tfT-a?-;o. whereby corresDondiniT
fermentative changes may be induced
in Ccstaaa' raw material, and the
qv;a'y inM-oved accordingly. It will

K, port of Grand Jury.
In the circuit court of the state oi
Oregon for Wasco county, May term,
1S97.
.We the grand jury in tbe above en
titled court of said term, respectfully
submit the following for our final re
port:
We have been in session five day?
acd have returned into court six true
bill and four not true bills, and have
examined several other matters which
we have not deemed of sufficient im
portance to report.
We have examined the county build
ings, including tbe county jail and
poor farm, aud find them all in good
condition and well cared for. We have
examined the clerk's, sheriff's, treas
urer's and other county offices, with
t ie books, records and papers tboreiu,
and all are properly and correctly kept
in so far as we are able to judge.
We find the county poor all well
provided for at the county farm, and
we commend the county for the man
agement of such county farm.
We have no special recommencla-
tions to make as to the affairs of the
county, and believe that they are
properly and economically managed.
