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.

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. "Saved Her Life." TIMES.

The illustrations are excellent, the press work the yery best and the con tents especially interesting to those identified with the industries and en terprises of Tbe Dalles, and Wasco and Sherman counties. The edition is ex ceedingly creditable to Mr. J. A.

Portland Oregon ian: The Dalles-Times-Mountaineer's New Year's souvenir of the "Resources of Wasco and Sherman counties" is of unusual merit, both fer its excellent typog raphy and for the matter it contains.

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. .

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:.
