AN OLD PIONEER GONE.
Mrs. Mary LaaKhlln Pasaea to the Beyond
After a Brief Illness.
Mrs. Mary Laughlin, widow of Judge
William C. Laughlin. probably the
oldest pioneer of The Dalles, died at
her residence on Third street at
o'clocn Tuesday morning.
Although she had been quite feeble
for a number of years, Mrs. Laughlin
had not been considered dangerously
ill until a few days before her death,
when her physician could glye no en
couragement of hope that she would
recover. Surrounded by kind friends,
and "a loving son and daughter, the
final termination came like the fading
of a summer day, life' ebbing away so
peacefully that its flight seemed but
the beginning of a new existence.
Mrs. Lauzhlin was-born in Shelby
county, Kentucky, January 28, 1818,
and moved with her parents to Qutney,
Illinois, ia 1832, where in 1840 she was
married to William C Laughlin,
From Illinois, Mr. and Mrs. Laughlin
went to .Missouri where they re
mained until. 1850, and where their
three children were . born. That
year ..they emigrated to Oregon,
settling first below The Dalles,
and in the fall of 1851 located
on a donation claim which now com
prises a portion of the city. There
were three children . born to Mr. and
Mrs. Laughlin, Elizabeth, now Mrs.
W. Lord, James" and Benjamin F.
James was drowned in Hood river a
number of years ago, while Mrs. Lord
and B. F. are still living and are. res
idents of The Dalles.
At the time of her death Mrs. Laugh
lin was the oldest pioneer of Tbe
Dalles, having resided here for 47
years, and was probably more conver
sant with the early history of the city
than any other living person, having
been so intimately connected with all
the early events pertaining to the for
mation of both the county and city
government, her husband, the late
Judge Laughlin, who died in 1(64,
having been one of the first count.y
commisfioners and was also judge of
the county.

M. E. Meetings.
The meetings at the Methodist
Church are growing steadily in inter
est. A very quiet, attentive audience
listened last night to the sermon by
the pastor. Rev. Wood took as his
text, "The word is nigh thee, even in
thy mouth and in thy hea-t; that is,
the word of faith which., we preach."
Fhe preacher said, "This is a progres
sive age, many are saying, 'Show u
some new thing.' Wha of ibis Christ?
Mea would 'that ono should ascend
into heaven to bring Christ down, or
descend into the deep to bring Christ
up.' By their theories men blind
themselves that God has put In every
heart sufficient knowledge to lead the
way to himself. If they would follow
the light that is theirs by birthright.
t would reveal to them the Cnrist, in.
Vnointed - The honest, penitent heart
-.ries out for soma promise and alwayr
dnds one sufficient for his help. Th
word of faith preached by Paul, is this,
If thou shalt confess with thy mouth
tbeuLord Jesus, and shall believe iu
cby heart that God hath ..raised him
from tbe dead, thou shalt be saved.'
God is no respector of persons. 'Foi
the same Lord over all is rich unte all
hat call upon his name.' "
Nearly all present responded to the
sail to come around the altar that tbej
night receive the blessing from tht
iiord. A.

The illustrations are excellent, the

ceedingly creditable to Mr. J. A.

by the peeple whom it will really
benefit of that large section of Eastern
Oregon of which The Dalles Is the

A GRAND 8DCCES8
The Charity BaU Given by the Elks the
Best Ever Given ia the City.
Elks may have faults, but it will
never be claimed agriost them in The
Dalies that they are not good enter
tainers or that their hands are not
open to those in distress. Tbe charity
ball given by the order last Friday fully
demonstrated these two truths. Noth
ing could baye been done to more fully
entertain the guests than was done by
tbe Elks. The hall was most beauti
fully decoarted, and presented the ap
pearance of a large tent with sloping
sides pointing from the centerpiece
suspended from the ceiling, and all
was lighted with purple lights that
threw a splendid mellow glow over tbe
ball, and as the dancers flitted here
and there, all appeared as if -of one
hue The music furnished by Birg-
f eld's orchestra was the latest airs,
and very many of the numbers were
heartily encored. No dancer appeared
on the floor, but pronounced every
thing perfect, and it was tbe universal
sentiment of all that as a social event
tbe ball was a perfect success. Many
elegant costumes were nc-iced in the
hall, the ladies having exerted them
selves to look their prettiest on this
occasion, and certainly tbe dress
maker's art had been taxed to its ut
most.
As to the charitable features of the
ball, it certainly has reached the hear
tiest expectation of the various com
m it, tees that bad it in charge. A large
fund has been created that will be dis
tributed among those in need in and
about The Dalles. It is hoped that
there is eaeugh to relieve want in
every quarter, and that when the fund
is distributed, there will not be a fam
ily or an individual in the city or vi
cinity who is not provided for. It is
the purpose of the Elks that destitution
shall not be known within reach of the
assistance they are prepared to extend,
and that ne one 9hall suffer for tb
want of necessities so long as they ar.
prepared to relieve distress.

Taffe and Killfeather, and if true show
that Taffe gave notes to the amount of
$5,000 to Brattan and Killfeather as ar.

the government sought to condemn.

ENGLISH RAILROAD COACHES.
First-Class Cars Upholstered Better Than
Those In This Country.
The standard English passenger car
riage is considerably shorter th.xn our
ear, has three axles, no end platforms
and is entered by side doors, says
Scribner. The first-class car contains
four compartments, each with six
places, tiuree with backs to the engine
and three facing. The seats are sep
arated by broad and comfortable arm
rests, and there are arm rests on the
sides of the carriage also. These rests
are low enough, broad enough and soft
enough to be comfortable. The com
partment is about seven feet square in
side, giving ample room for the six
seats, which are deep, wide, padded to
the height of the head and upholstered
better than anything that I know of in
America. There are ample racks for
hand luggage, a rug on the floor and
one lamp in the roof. The second and
third-class carriages have five compart
ments, making the seats less cVop fore
and aft and giving less room for the
knees than in the first-class. The second-class
compartments seat eight per
sons, and the bench across the car is di
vided by but one arm rest, so that if
the places are all full yon and your
neighbor are separated only by an
imaginary line. The thirti-class com
partments seat only ten persons and
the benches are not divided at all, the
five persons on a side being in pretty
close contact. These are not nearly as
well upholstered as the first-class, but
are good enough in that respect- These
are the standards, bnt there are many
exceptions. For short-distance traffic,
for example, it is quite common to seat
eight in a first-class compartment and
to seat ten in a second-class compart
ment. Mckm.aj uuu steeling:.
