prove late grain.

The ladies of the Episcopal Guild en
tertained a large audience on the
lawns of Mrs. Peters and the Misses
Lay last Saturday evening, and one
and all pronounced it one of the pleas
antest entertainments ever given in
the city. The grounds between the
two residences were tastefully decor
ated with Chinese lanterns and com
fortably seated with rustic benches so
that the guests felt that they had been
transplanted into some fairy land, and
for an hour they gathered under the
trees and lights engaging in such pleas
antries as make time pass unheeded,
when finally the curtain raised on the
stage that had been erected by the side
of the Misses Lays' residence, disclos-
ng a sun Sower scene through which
countless faces appeared and a mirthful
song was rendered. This was followed in
quick succession by a happily arranged
program including a '"Blue Beard" re
hearsal, affording a continuous strain
of merriment. After the program re
freshments were served and dancing
was indulged in bv those who desired
such entertainment, while those who
were more leisurely disposed lounged
aboutjthe grounds enjoying the mellow
moon light and balmy evening at
mosphere. The party dispersed short
ly before midnight, all expressing the
hope that the ladies of the Guild would
not'long delay a repetition of the entertainment.

A (irupgome Find.
Some time since J. W.Johnston was
breaking sod onhis farm on Chyno'.veth
creek, porno threa miles from The
Dalles, when he discovered the bones
of a human body, that had been buried
only a few inches un-Jer the snrfac
From appearances ttio body had been
in the ground for l't or 20 years, the
bones beingconeider.ibly deeayed. 1 he
remains were evidently tnose ot a
white man, but f'ere was no evidence
to identity them or anything to lead
one to imogine by whom thuy were
buried. Possibly a murder wns com
mitted years ago, and all evidences of
tho crime wero bidden under the earth,
or per chance some unfortunate fell
sick and died, and was put away by his
companions under tieath the sod on a
solitary hillside. Mr. Johnston has
carefully gathered the bones together
and put them away, hoping that some
thing may develop that will lead to the
identity of the man.

Monday morning A. Cathcart's dray
team was left standing in front of the
Wasco warehouse, and becoming rest
less, got a move on themselves that was
like the speed attained by the Spokane
flyer. They got up a splendid motion
for about 200 feet when they suddenly
came in contact with a telephone pole
in front of the Columbia brewery. The
tongue of the dray struck the pole
squarely, and doubled the wagon up
in a heap, making almost a complete
wreck of it, and one of the horses camo
to i sudden stop still, but the other
bad gained such momentum that it 1
could not stop, so it went through the
harness, clearing itself of everything
but the collar. The telephone pole was
struck with such force that it was
moved about four inches, presing its
way through five feet of solid earth in
which it was planted. Ihe telephone
wires, the long distance wires on the
eastern Oreg-on Telephone & Tele
graph connection, we're broken, and
Mr. Catbcarts dray was sadly demol
ished, causing a loss of several dollars.
JHisa Eliot's Recital.
The song recital given by tho pupils
of Miss Elliot's class at tho Congrega
tional church Friday evening was one
of the pleasantest affairs of the kind
ever given in The Dalles. The musical
talent of the city was out in full force,
in fact the church was taxed to Jts
fullest seating capacity. Tbe different
renditions were indeed excellent and
evidenced both ability on the part of
the pupils aud most careful t-aining by
the teacher. The program rendered
was as follows:
It- takes over $200,000 every month to
ruu the police department of Chicago.
The amount varies according to the
tint s imposed at police board trials cr
?xtra men employed on extraordinary
occasions. For the month of May
cheeks were drawn for $295,530.24. From
this amount there was the usual reduc
tion for the pens-ion fund; for May the
amount was $2,3JS.S6. The actual
amount paid to the force, from the
chief down to the lowest in the depart
ment, was the difference between the
pension fund and the amount given.
The 15th of each month is pay day in
the department, unless Sunday falls oa
that date. On that day. a wagon con
taining a paymaster, two specially de-;
tailed officers and the driver, the last
also a policeman, leaves the city hall in
the morning. J lie wagon contains a
safe, and it is full of checks not cash.
The driver knows the route. The pay
master has the payroll. The first step
is made nt Battery D, of the First pre
cinct. All Ihe men of that precinct
not on their beats are lined up when, the
wagon arrives. The paymaster goes in
wilh. the luiyroll of that station aud
checks for each man. The desk ser
geant calls the roll and as each man an
swers he steps out of the ranks and re
ceives the city Jtreasurer's check for a
month's services, according to rank, un
less there is a deduction for fine. Checks
for absentees und men on duty are left
with the captain. The captain's check
fo$125eaeh; sergeants', $100; thatfoi;
eacn patrolman, ana oi tne in
spector, $210.
The chief's check is always handed to
him personally, if he is in the city, and
he always scrutinizes it to see if it calls
for $500. That is his monthly salary,
Then he deposits it m his bank.
The pay wagon of the department is a
gay outfit, ouilt. for the express pur
pose, and if some of the bold highway
men of Chicago should conclude to hold
it up as they do the cashiers of stores if
is not likely that they would be able to
'blow the rafe before assistance ar
rived, and the police ore unusually alert
on the 15th. If the wagon should be ten
minutes late nt a station the whole force
would be on the qui vive.
The check of the citv treasurer of ChiJ
cago, according to an attache of thepo
lice department, is "good at any bank,
saloon, or brewery." If there is a bank
near the station the former always
stocks up with cash the day before the
monthly pay. If there is no bank in the
vicinity, the saloons, or brewery, if there
be one, cash the checks, as that usually
means a "little business.
There are 3,200 names on the payroll
of the police department of- Chicago.
The chief comes first, with a salary of
$300 a month. The assistant, or deputy,

are highly pleased with their new cart
which arrived direct from Chicago this
morning, and well they may be proud
of their new wagon, for it is a perfect
beauty. The wheels are 5 feet 8 inches
high, the frame is made of the.best
material and is supplied with chain
reel, automatic bell, nickel torches
and lanternsand all modern appliances.
The cart entire weighs 62.5 pounds, and
is calculated to carry 500 feet of hose.
It was manufactured by the N. Y."
Belt & Packing Co., of Chicago, and
is up-to-date in every respect. The
new cart will take the place of tho old
four-wheeled cart the Columbias have
used for a number of years past, and is
a decided improvement over tho old
apparatus, as it is much lighter and it
will answer all purposes fully as well
as the heavier cart.

The Objection Hot Good.
There are people who have objec
tion to advertising matter in the read
ing columns of a newspaper. The
ground of objection , is that they do
not want to read advertisements. Now
this objection is not good, for oft times
these advertisements convey yaluable
information. For instance, how else
would the traveling public learn of the
excellent dining car service of the
Wisconsin Central Lines between St.
Paul and Chicago, or the general com
fort of traveling over this popular line

Arlington Bank Aggers Sold.
The assets of tne First National
bank of Arlington were sold at auction
last week by Raeeiver Cox. Several
parties were present and bought their
own paper for a song, several thousand
dollars worth going for $2 or $3. A.
Smythe bought Frick's paper 30,000
or $40,000 of it for $15 or $20. Other
notes of several hundred dollars were
bought for 25 or 50 ccuts, by parties
who were just bidding for fun. Thus
closes the last chapter in the history
of the bank. During the three years
since it closed, a dividend of 15 per
cent has been paid, which will not be
materially increased by the sale of
assets.
