stone of St. Peter's church yesterday.
It is that the only copy of the report

historical article prepared by Father
Bronsgeest, was placed within the

Some of the sportsmen throughout
the country probably are misinformed
regarding the date when the open

ported that young grouse are being
killed along the foothills. The open

it is unlawful to kill them unt'l that

The examination of Eugene Sim
mons, accused of robbing and beating
a number of Indians on the highway
between the Indian camp and the city
on Friday night of last week, occupied
the attention of Justice Filloon's court
yesterday afternoon and - until 11
o'clock today. The defendant was
held in the sum of $300 to await the
action of the next grand jury, but not
being able to secure bail was remanded
to the custody of the sheriff. In the
progress of the examination it was at
tempted to prove a alibi, but the evi
dence was insufficient to convince the
justice that the accused was not pres
ent when the crime was committed.
Wilson and Brown accused of the same
offense, waived examination and was
held in $300 bonds each.

A Man Shot by an Officer.
Friday night soon after the services
the Salvation Army barracks were
over, Mrs. Harley, a member of the
army, on her way home, was accosted
by a man named Miller, engineer on
the steam snovel, wno wished to ac
company her home. It seems from
the most reliable account we have
been able to get of the affair, (and the
exact truth may not come out until the
case comes to trial) that Miller
was very persistent, following her
up as far as Masonic Hall on Third
street, and accosting her two or three
times after the first rebuff.
Some one in the meantime phoned
for fiigntwatebman Wiley, who as
soon as he arrived attemDted to arrest
Miller. Miller resisted, (here the ac
counts diverge,) and either during the
fight or immediately after it when
Miller was attempting to escape. Wiley
shot him, the ball taking effect in his
right leg a little below the knee rang
ing downward, shattering the bones
for several inches. Miller was taken
to a hospital, and Watchman Wil?y
has a very bad eye.

BLOODY A Frit AY.
There Was Blood on the Face of the Moon
last Friday Nietit.
. The Indian camp near the slaughter
bouse spring was the scene of one
bloody fray, and it is the hardest work
in the world to get at the exact facts
in the case, although there are three
white men in jail for it, and three of
the sorriest looking, bruised and
battered Indians in direct evidence on
the streets.
We will give the Indian version of
the affair, as they seem the injured
parties, only remarking that the story
is ''subject to revision in our next."
About 9 o'clock last night, accord
ing to the Indians, "Shorty," a Wasco
brave, was riding towards tbe city
from the camp and was accosted by
Eugene Simmons, Robert Wilson . and
Brown, white men, who held him up
io regular frontier stylo, struck him
over the head with an enormous club
(which Is also in evidence at tbe Court
House) pulled him off of his horse and
robbed him of $5, all be had. A few
minutes later George Peo, of Celilo,
and Warm Springs Loui rode up and
were similarly treated. Peo's pockets
being ripped open and his wealth, $2.50,
abstracted. Both these last were
given liberal doses of the club and its
marks on head, face and arms are very
conspicuous.
' The Indians, who are here -in unus
ual numbers and much gaudy apparel
to take part in some amateur wild
west show, seem to take the matter
with unusual coolness, seeming satis
fied that justice will be meted out to
the offenders. If excited, they hide
it under their usual stoicism, but the
white men are in safer quarters, in
jail, than they would be if turned
loose j'.ist now for all of their seeming
quietness.
A nother version of the affair is that
the white men and Indians were all
full of booze. That the white men in
sulted tbe squaws and that the fight
occurred in consequence. The fact
that the Indian camp is very populous,
and that three white men would have
fared worse than the three Indians did
had this been the case, seems against
this version.

Longer the Monopolist of This
Convenience.
Until this year the matchbox has been
the unquestioned, exclusive property of
man. Never once did he think of such
av thing as the fairer sex borrowing it.
He may have had a presentiment of
ber laying claim to his necktie, but his
matchbox never, saya the Chicago
Tribune.
But the bicycle girl, who makes what
ever she wants possible, has now laid
lege to man's matchbox. If she con
templated riding at night she needs
matches to light her lamp, and neces
sarily she must carry them in a match
box. That is tbe reason that there are
any number of new matchboxes this
year which are smaller and more dainty
than anything in this line ever seen be
fore. "Do the girls buy them 7" a prominent
jeweler was asked. To which question
he answered: "Yes, indeed. The small
er sizes are made particularly for their
special use,
The prettiest of the new matchboxes
for girls are of gold with an enameled
decoration. The enameling either takes
the form of a college or yacht club
flag or it resembles a band-painted
miniature showing a girl on a wheel
or the head of a dog. Many of these
matchboxes are made with a concealed
recess for a photograph. It is only when
a certain spring is touched that the pic
ture can be seen, so skillfully it is hid'
den away. '
The silver matchboxes,' decorated
with the outline of a tiny bicycle" in
enamel, are also new and much less ex
pensive. -
DANCING. H
It Has Bad Warlike Mirnineanoe Among
Peoples of All Ages.
Dancing, with which word civilized
people are wont to associate pleasure
and peaceful enjoyment, has had a war
like significance with various tribes of
people throughout all ages of the world.
anditisstdll in vogue among- the blanket
tribes of red men in America. The fa
mous Pyrrhic dance represented the
overtaking of an enemy, and doing bat
tle with' him. To-day, among tihe Zu
lus, grand dances are merely the ac
companiment to the colloquial war and
hunting songs, in which the women put
questions which are answered by the
men. There are mimic fights, which
go by the name of war dances, almost
universal among tribes to which war is
one of the great interests of life. The
bravery dance of the Dahomevans, and
the Hoolee of the Bbil tribe in the
Vindhya hills of India, are the most apt
illustrations. Nearly all savage tribes
have a rejjulnr war dance, so that it is
scarcely possible to select one as having
a more warlike significance than tho
rest. All the performers appear in
fighting costume, handle their wranons
and go through the movement of chul.
lenge, conflict, pursuit or defeat. There
is one very picturesque dance of the
JCatal Kaffirs which prolxibly refers to
the departure of the warriors for battle.
The women appeal plaintively to the
men, who slowly withdraw, stamping
in tbe ground, and darting their short
ipears or assegais toward the sky.
English ords Who Deliver Sunday Dis
courses. Emperor William's taste for preach
ing, even where there is a duty quali
fied ecclesiastia within reach, is far
more common fancy than most people
might be willing to imagine. Under the
circumstances it is difficult to under
stand the surprise which has been
caused by his insistence in delivering
the Sunday discourse during the recent
yachting trip in the Mediterranean, al
though he had on board with him the
chief of the court chaplains.
Thus in England there are at least
a dozen secular members of the house
f lords who, not content with preaching
to their own households and tenants,
actually travel about in England and on
the continent preaching wherever they
can find either a congregation or a pul
pit at their disposal.
Several of them, such as, for instance,
Lord Eadstock, have incurred the wrath
of foreign governments in consequence
of their religious zeal.
The young Earl Beauchamp, is an
other of these lay preachers, but he con
fines his ministrations to the East end
of London. Then there is Lord Bonnet,
married to an American wife and heir
to the earl of Tankerville, who has been
arrested for street preaching on several
occasions.
The present duke of Hamilton does a
little in the preaching line, chiefly
among the poorer classes of London.
But none of these peers come anywhere
r.ear the late earl of Shaftesbury so far
aa pulpit oratory is concerned, the earl
being known by the nickname of "the
lay bishop.
Attacked by attack Rot.
All tbe fruit in a six-acre peach
orchard of Zierolf brothers, 10 miles
south of Corvallis, is a total loss as the
result of what is supposed to be an at

promise of an abundant yield, and the
fruit was fast maturing. Within a
few days a black rot,' beginning at the
core and eating outward, destroyed
every thingr The early varletTeswere
the first attacked, the later peaches
yielding in turn to the disease. The
orchard is situated on low land be
tween the Long Tom ' and the Wil
lamette rivers, and very near their
junction, and is protected on all sides
by heavy timber. No other peach
Orchards in the vicinity, so far as
known, have been similarly affected.

A Clondyke Letter.
J. C. Tolman, of Ashland, is now at
Dawson City, in tbe famous Clondyke
mining district and the Tidings prints
a letter he wrote back to friends under
tbe date of June 24th. He says that of
2,000 men at Circle City, all but 200
have gone to the mines:
"Wages are $15 per day and board
one's self. Clondyke is a great country.
One hundred dollars is thought no
more of than is one dollar at Ashland.
While there I eaw two men come in
from the mines who had worked two
weeks and cleaned up and had 150 lbs.
of gold dust. 1... ...
They' weigh it on the scales the
same as you weigh wheat, and have it
setting around in old syrup cans and
old kettles. Tbe largest piece I saw
weighed $200. Men who never had
9500 in their lives are now worth $150,
000 and $200,000. Three men bought a
a claim for $75,000 and did not have a
dollar they .borro wed $5,000 to pay
down on it and 30 days in which to
pay the remainder. Tbey took tbe
amount with the pans and paid for it
in 25 days. This would be a fine coun
try to summer in if it were not for the
mosquitos and fleas tbey are some
thing fearful. Last night the sun did
not set at all. It went down until tbe
lower edge seemed to touch the trees
and skipped along that way for an
hour and a half and then raised. It
was lowest about 12:30 A. M., and was
the first time I -saw it when it never
shaded at all. It will remain that way
for a couple of weeks and then begin
to go out of sight for a time. Eggs are
worth $6.00 per dozen at Clondyke, so
I did not eat many while there. Moose
meat was 50 cents per pound, flour $6
per sack and no bacon to be had one
small lot sold for $2.50 per pound, but
after the boats get up it will not bring
more that 50 cents per pound. It has
been very hot here for the past few
days, nearly 80 degrees.

of granite on which was inscribed "To
tho Glory of God and in Honor of Sc.
Peter, This Church is Erect-' I A. D.

After the corner stone had been
firmly placed, Archbishop Gross took
a position underneath the spreading
American flag on the platform erected
at the north side of the entrance on
Liberty street, and delivered one of
the ablest and most impressive ad
dresses ever heard in the city. De
spite the evidences of approaching
years, the silvered locks and furrowed
brow, this gifted man beemed to hat e
the power of calling back the vigor of
his youth, and spoke in clear, full tones
and with a vigor that appeared to be
inspired. His discourse was a plea for
Christianity and the dissemination of
Christian knowledge throughout the
world, coupled with a review of what
the church ba9 done for humanity, the
hope it extends to the individual and
the promises vouchsafed by it for "the
well spent life. v'r ; . ; . ' ,: '
The ceremonies throughout were
Impressive, and were convincing of
the stability of tbe Catholic church
which has stood the test of ages in
every section of the globe and stiil
servives as one of the potent Christian
izing influences of time.

the O. R. & N. Co. has issued a tariff

taken the following facts and figures:
1 he bteamer Geo. W. Eider will

"July 30. Tne rates for passengers. In
cluding meals and berths, are:
From Portland and Astoria to Wran-
gel Cabin passage, $25; steerage pas
sage, $13.

Monday's Work at the Institute.
Ine third week of the normal instl
mie opened witn verv encourainir
canditions. But one member of the in
stitute was missed from his place, and
three names were added to the roll
T. Miller, of Cascades; R. D. O'Brien
and J. M. O'Brien, of Dufur. Visit
ors: Mrs. M. Z. Donnell, Mabel
O'Brien, Milton O'Brien and Millie
Sexton.
I he literature class began reading
snow-bound, the grammar class con
sidered the classes of pronouns, and
the book-keeping class legal forms,
bills, notes, etc. The general history
class began tbe study of modern his
tory.
An bistorlcal game, condupted by
Miss Melissa Hill occupied the time
usually given to general discussion.
1 be leader described historical char
acters and the institute guessed the
name of the person described; as I am
a fisher boy of 280 pounds. Who am I?
The examinations which follow the
Institute will be the best test of the
work done, but it is the verdict of the
visitors as well as of the Instructors
that there never has been a better
class of working teachers in any other
institute of Wasco county, than the
one now working at the high school
building. And so it should be, each
year should bring new powers to every
profession, and we hone and expect
that whenever the next institute is
held still better work will be done.
Have Got the Fever.
The "Clondyke fever is prevalant
throughout tho Northwest, and The
Dalles and vicinity has not escaped tbe
contagion. It is quite probable several
people from this section will take pas
sage on the ship Elder for Alaska and
will cast their lot with the miners of
Clondyke. Dr. Sidall, one of our
staid old citizens, has signified his in
tention to open dental parlors in the
new Eldorado, and Fin Batty, night
clerk at the Umatilla House, will also
seek his fortune in the gold fields of
the north. Will Langille, manager of
Cloud Cap Inn and one who Is familiar
to every Mazama who has asscended
Mt. Hood, having piloted over 50
parties to the top of that pinacle, and
James A. Wilson, of Hood River, will
take passage on the Elder for the new
mines. While- William Langille is
seeking wealth in Alaska, his brother
Doug, who for some time past has
been mining on McCoy creek,- will
have charge of the inn at Cloud Cap.
