jras fired last jt'rjday but began crumb
ling 'down aud the fires wer drawn.

tions on the yard again with clay that
will stand fire.

creased boat competition on the Wil
lamette. A party of excursionists consisting

Tne man who rata . because he is
hungry is, thus far, on a level with the
brutes. The man who stops eating the
moment his hunger is appeased is the
wiseman. Nature needs no more food
than she calls for. Continued excess
brings about indigestion or dyspepsia,
with loss of flesh, strength, sleep, am
bition &.nd mental power, and an ac
cumulation of aches, pains and many
dangerous local maladies.
The stomach now can do nothing
alone. We must appeal to' some arti
ficially digested food which' can also
digest other foods. That is to say, we
must use the Shaker Digestive Cordial.
The effect is prompt and cheering.

The water company reorganized
some time ago is active putting in a
new plant. The cistern or reservoir
is located on tho top of the hill to the
north of town, and will hold near
6,000 barrels of water. In making the
excavation the place was found to be
a sand bed, composed of an excellent
quality of pure coarse sand. A hand
ful put into a tumbler of water will not
show discoloration. This proves that
the hill was at one time part of an
ocean bed.
On next Friday evening a labor ex
change organizer is to hold a meet
ing here. Some of our citizens in
talking over tho mooting and its pros
pects, tho following conversation was
had:
Mr. A. I' am favorable to labor ex
change; but how am f to exchange
my labor?
Mr. H. Come over and hoe in my
garden, and I will come down town
and lofearound the stores and printing
office.
This illustrates the simplicity of
labor exchange; in fact it was almost
a revelation to the assembled few on
the occasion referred to.
On Saturday evening the ladies of
the Christian church will give a lawn
sociable. As to particulars we are not
informed, but from our acquaintance
with the promoters of tho scheme we

lArge Wool Sales.
A dispatch from Pendleton to the
Oregonian gives the following account
of recent wool sales 'at that place, that
is rather encoui aging to wool owners
here: The largest sale of wool recorded
on. the coast this year was made by
Fred W. Hendley, who sold on com
mission 500,000 pounds raised at Echo,
in this county. There are 1200 sacks
and they fill 30 cars. The wool was
bought by E. Y. Judd, for the Hart
ford wool bouse of which he is a mem
ber H. C. Judd & Root. Tho wool
will come to Pendleton to be scoured,
in transit. The buyers and sellers re
fuse to say what prices were paid, fur
ther than that the total amount paid
was nearly $35,000, which would give
close to 7 cents a pound. This price in
above the same last year. Before this
no sales had been recorded for several
weeks. .

A Freighter Injured.
About 10 o'clock Thursday W.
W. Collins met with a serious though
rather fortuuate accident on the road
this side of the free bridge on Des
chutes. He loaded two wagons here for
Prineville yesterday, and this morning
while pulling up a steep hill his trail
wagon broke loose, but he was unable
to stop his team suddenly, and the
pole that operated the brake of the
rear wagon, which was attached by a
rope to the seat of the ftont wagon,
gave way. The recoil of . the rope
caused the pole to fly tqwar:! Mr. Ool
lios at a terrible speed, and struck him
en the forehead cutting a gash about
two and one-half inches to the skull.
After getting his team into a pasture
Mr. Collins came to town for medical
treatment and had his wounds dressed
by Dr. Hollister. Mr. Collin's injuries
are severe, out with careful treatment
he will be able to start on the road
again in a few days.
COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES.
HcHiitifnl Program Rendered at ;
Mar) 'a Arademy.
Yesterday aftrpooa ' wa3 witnessed
one of the most interesting and com
plete graduating exercises ever given
in The Dalles. At tho appointed hour
tho hall of St. Mary's academy was
full to overflowing with the friends of
the school. The largo stage was a mass
of palms and flowers, and held besides
four fine pianos. Tho decorations
were arranged in the class.colors, blue
and white, while over the stage was
draped the class motto, "J2ssc Quam
Vederi."
The first number on thet program
"The Witcho's Dance," was recdered
by nine young girls at three pianos,
who showed by their commendable ex
ecution thn excellant training they
have received. "Heart Blossoms Cull
We for Our Friends" was 'eung by 70
misses, and was well renuereu. xtrn
next number was "A Plea for Science"
which was the graduating essay of Miss
Catherine Cecilia BrogaH- The fiir
graduate read her thoughtful and well
prepared paper in a clear, distinct tone,
and impressed all with her thorough
knowledge of the subject and the
complete education she had re
ceived from her Alma Mater, St.
Mary's Academy. She dwelt on the
scientific researches Cf this century,
the most enlightened the world has
ever seen, and still gave due credit to
the civilization of ancient Asia, Rome,
Greece and Egypt. She spoke of what
benefits science has brought to our
loved republic, and also of wha ap- l.
i i : 1 .J a r .1.
plied science had done for the com
fort and benefit of humanity. A com
parrison was made between 60 years
ago and .now, referring to the tele
graph, telephone, railroads and other
inventions due to science. ' She closed
with the words, "Heaven forbid we
should allow ourselves to be wholly
ignorant of a study which at once en
trances the reason, and fires' the im
agination, which can fashion as well
as forge, and which can feed as well as
fill. To nerve our courage, let us re
member that no brighter luminaries
will ever blazon the firmament of our
loved home than the sua of religion
and tho star of science."
We "egret we cannot give the essay
in its entirety, as it was replete with
deep thought and well worded, but
space will not permit.
"The Fairies' Trial" was an amusing
dialogue, interspersed with music, and
was of intense interest throughout. ,
"The Angels' Serenade'' waabeauti
fuly sung by Miss Mary Goellner and
Miss Agnes Schanno.or North Yakima,
while Miss Mclnerny played the violin
obligato. . t
The gem of the whole musical pro
gram was the "Hurdle Race," played
by St. Mary's orchestra with violins,
mandolins, guitars and pianos. It
was astonishing to the onlookers to
hear such perfect music from such
young children, and it is the hope of
all that they may hear them again.

the graduating and class honors, and

dress to the pupils, which was enjoyed

Vailed to Convict
The trial of Mrs. Iola Beebe in Re
corder Phelps' court Tbursday on a
charge of practicing medicine without
license, attracted considerable atten
tion, and the verdict it acquital ren
dered by the jury, after being out about
five minutes, met with eeneral approve
al .among those who heard the testi
mony. There was ro evidence that
Mrs. Beebe bad offered to prescribe,
write prescriptions, or do any act in
violation of the la governing the
practice of medicine. She simply aoted
as an agent for Dr. Murray, Introduc
ing her remedies and gave treatment
under the directions of the doctor, act
ing in ths oapaclty of a nurse. The
trial was a spirited one especially when
Mrs. Beebe testified in-her own behalf,
she being a witness whom the attor
neys could not frustrate.
. The Dalle Selected.
Col. J. M.' Patterson is in receipt of
a telegram from Post Commander H.
H. Learned stating that the G. A. R.
now in encampment at Independence,
has selected The Dalles as the place of
holding the next annual encampment.
An invitation had been extended by
the Commercial Clib, through J. W,
JSesmith Postt to. hold the next on.
campment in this city, and It is a
pleasure to note that the invitation
has been accepted. It is probable the
encampment will be held some time in
May of next year, before there is dan
ger of high water interfering with
traffic on the rivor or railroad.
PAT'S HOLlLuQUY.
Lewis S. Record, of Worcester,
Mass.. furnished the following verses
to the St. Louis Republic, which is
rather suggestive at present:
How well I remember lasht fall at the 'lection,
I bolted the ticknt la spite o' my wife.
An. felt just es proud as u king at n. h-ir.'v
To save toe sroM U lnuATA aud our national life.
Sure, that's what they touldme was mint by
me victory..
An' no woader that I was elated at tl.at.
As I stipped to the music Just like an old soger,
And wore a bitf rooshter on the top o' me hat
I bolted Bill Bryan and tho whole silver
platform.
No more work I'd git in tbe mil. if agin
I voted the ticket that stood for cheap money,
That enriofced the big miners and burdened
poor min.
Ah, sure, I'll git even now wid you my honeys
I'll vole just as sure as my name it is Pat,
For McKinley. and thin, at the ratinoation
I'll wear a big rooshter on top o' me hat.
I done it. bad luck to the day an' the hour,
I'd like to recall that same vote if I could.
For my wages wint down the very nixt week.
An now.I'm out of a job, an' for good.
T.ie boss be looks worried, the foreman is sour,
The ould miU's deserted, and gloomy at that
An' all I have lift for my share of the glory.
Is the ould battered rooshter I wore on me hat.
One day, after trampin" an lookin' fur work.
I came home at night to get somcthin' to ate
I hated to tell my bad luck to my wife.
Fur she was down-hearted, and sk-UIy. was
Kate.
I edced Into the pantry an' looked for some
meat.
But the cupboard was empty, there was
seal cely a crust,
Thin I lodked at my Katy's sad eyes, her pale
cheeks. c
Whin with sorrowful voice she asked: "Pat
ara ye bust?"
An' I answered my wife, sez I: "Katy we're
starvin',
I can't find no work, an' me credit is flat,
V.m no need to be hungry." she says to me
slyly, :-
"For wez can ate the ould rooshter yez wore
on your hat."
So there's the whole story, and none can deny
it.
For truth must be tould though the heavens
should fall.
We made a mistake in electln' the party
That's bossed by Mark Hanna, the Rothkids
and ail.
In four years from now, yez may talk till you're
spachless.
An arglfy till you're as gray as a rat;
But If that party again it triumphant,
Thedivil a rooshter yez'll see on me hat.
BOYS WILL BE BOYS.
Walla Walla Students Hold High Jink
In Whitman College. . .
The Walla Walla Statesman gives
the following account of an escapade
of school boys in that city which is
characteristic of students, and calls to
mind the fact that boys are just what
they were years ago, and when out for
a lark do some very indiscrete things;
Some of the students of Whitman
college went on a rampage last Satur
day evening the result of which was a
general unjointing oi tnmgs aoout toe
usually quiet and well ordered college
grounds and buildings. The-boys it
seems have been deprived of sufficient
physical culture for some reason or
other and the wasting muscle ap
parently has ached for something to
aid developement. The climax ar
rived Saturday evening about 10
o'clock when the cabinet organ, a
somewhat massive affair, was removed
from tho chapel, down two flights of
stairs .and across the campus to the
gymnasium, where it was deposited
and appropriately draped with dumb
bells and other muscle developers.
The janitor next came under the
notice of these wayward youths and
his bed found lodgment in the base
ment of the college among the cobwebs
of past generations. The college
academy students have been supplied
with milk from a quiet bovine with a
crumpled horn that has been wont to
graze for several summers on the col
lege campus. This specimen of cow
hood was removed bodily, about as
Handy Andy placed his employer's
horse in the cart, but the cow was
placed in the college chapel to graze
upon stray notes dropped by the con
servatory of music, during recent drills
there. The cow since removed from
the chapel has been given bo water
for fear of bloating. This old and use
ful animal was not discovered by the
janitor until nearly noon on Sunday,
by which time' she had fully investi
gated the amen corner, and in fact,
every portion of the room and
evidently in so doing made the in
spection thorough, if overturned seats
and general disorder indicate any
thing. Toe faculty had a meeting and
called the students before them, but
nothing could be learned. Tuesday
evening President Penrose gave the
boys a lecture of a somewhat severe
strain on the impropriety of such pro
ceedings and it is not likely a repeti
tion will occur.
OREGON SUM U AT SCHOOLS.
State Convention to be Held In ThU
City.
The annualstata Sunday school con
vention will be held June 28-30, in the
M. E. church in The Dalles. The pro
gram has been prepared with the view
of giving- the greatest help possible in
the time allowed to the delegates in
attendance. It is practical all the way
thro'iarh. In addition to the several
addresses by some of the best Sunday
school talent in our state, there will
be exemplified the working of a model
Sunday school. This school will be
organized on the floor of the conven
tion and the best methods of conduct
ing a school will be illustrated. The
current lesson of the day will be
taught. The subjects to be treated at
each session of the convention are
those of "today" no last year or those
of some future generation, but that the
foundation for the future generation
may be well laid in all our work of the
present time.
This is a mass convention to which
all Sunday school workers are invited.
The number of delegrtss from each
school is not limited. The greater the
number of workers present, the greater
the benefit to be derived. Free enter
tainment will be provided for all who
present credentials as delegates from
their superintendent or seoretary.
Delegates from points on the lines
of the Southern Pacific railroad must
buy tickets to Portland, paying full
ftfre to that point, take a receipt for
the money paid, which must be
countersigned by the secretary at the
convention. On the return the agent
at Portland will sell tickets at one
third fare to destination, provided 25
full fare tickets are purchased going.
The O. R. & N. railroad will sell
full fare rates going, and return at one-
fifth; but in this case also a receipt
must be taken and countersigned at
the convention by the secretary. A
special round-triprate has been made
from Portland to The Dalles of $3,
which, is open to all.
The D, P. & A. N. Co. will make a
round-trip rate of J1.50 from Portland,
II from Cascade Locks and 60 cents
from Hood River to The Dalles and re
turn via their boats.
Copies of the Oregon Sunday school
Tidings, containing the program and
further particulars, may be secured by
addressing tne state secretary, A. a.
Morse, at Portland.
