Fifteen hundred men and', some
women are reported as being storm
bound at Sheep Camp on the Chilcoot
pass. The blizzard of February was
terrific, and the cold intense. ' These
men live in tents and improvised
shelters. The crop of sickness and
death bids fair to be a large one in tne
spring.
Some people eat to live others In e
to eat. To either class there is an at
tractiveness about wholesome, pure
groceries. With either class there it
a desire for the most substantial food
for the least possible outlay. Pease &
Mays supply both classes. A glance
at the display of cured and canned fi.-h
in their grocery window will confirm
us in this statement.
One of the best sheep sales of the
year was made at Majville, Gilliam

terson sold 600 bead of ewes to Charles
White for $4 a head and 3000 yearlin?
wethers for $2.50 per head, to he de
livered after shearing. This indicates
considerable of a speculative disposi
tion on the part of sheep buyers, which
may lead them to loss in the future.
Last week at McMinnville, Rev. E.
A. Ross, the evangelist asked all those

evangelist said: ''why God bless you,
there's no such book in the Bible!"
There was a roseate flush o'erspread

tend an invitation to sit down.
Two university students were sus
pended Wednesday for leaving EugeLe
without permission. One of them bad
been sent by his father down the val'
ley on a matter of business, and the
other had obtained permission of the
president to attend the Albany ora
torical contest. The permission, how
ever, was later revoked, but he could
not appreciate the reconsideration.
The students are both members of
prominent Eugene families, and the
suspension is causing considerable
comment.
The prospects for the future of The
Dalles were never brighter than they
are today. This city has an unbound
ed country back of it aud in point of
diversified resources it has no equal.
We have the finest schools and
churches of any city in Eastern Ore
gon, and it is within cur power to be
one of the leading manufacturing cities
of the United States. Some people
have got the idea that there is no
real estate that can be purchased here
at such figures as would justify the
establishment of factories or the in
vestment for homes, but such is not
the fact, dear people, for Old Dad
Butts has got the bargains in any line
of real estate that can be asked for,
that will insure quick sales and more
enterprises for this city. Whenever
you want anything in this line giye
him a call and be convinced.

ed quite fully both in the Democrat
and Republican. This juror wan ask
ed if he had read of the case and re
plied that he had. He was then ask
ed in what paper had he read of it and
replied that he had seen and read the
account in the Democrat. He was
then asked if he believed the informa
tion that he had obtained from read
ing the Democrat. He replied that
he did not. Considering that he was
under oath it was a pretty hard slam
at the Democrat in particular and
newspapers in general. However,
newspapers are reliable as some jurors,
or even witnesses in certain cases, and
this is when a newspaper can get the
best of an argument it has the last

Amateur Bicyclon.
The dangers attending bicyclingare
many, if the rider is an amateur, then
the rider and everything In reach of
him is is liable to damage. Nobody is
more convinced of this than those who
have been about the Umatilla House
and Cosmopolitan the past few days
Billy Hoeing and Newt Burham have
each Invested in a bike and have been
trying to break them to ride. Billy first
tried his unrulv steed on the streets,
but attracted too great attention and
repaired to the office of the Umatilla
House where he has demolished every-
thing that could be demolished, even
Judd Fish's corn patch. Newt con
verted the sample rooui at the "Cos."
Into a bicycle rink, and the damage be
has wrought there can never be re
paired. .Tables, chairs, counters, in
fact everything but the building is a
perfect wreck, but Newt and the bike
still survive.

There la Mo More Importaat FeaTtwrc
of the Toilet.
The up-to-date woman, -who knows
the happy art of combining good taste
with common sense, nowhere in her
toilet emphasizes that fact more de
cidedly than by her footgear.
To be correct ajt present means to
wear a buttoned. walkmtr shoe of kid.
witb lull toe, slight extension sole and
an English military heel, just one and
one-eighth inch high.
The pendulum of fashion has svruntr
w me otner extreme, and the height
of their heels is no longer a standing
reproacn against womankind. The con
cave heel is rarely if ever seen on
shoe intended for street wear, and the
erstwhile fashionable Louis Quinze is
reserved exclusively for the dainty
house slipper.
The fad for russet shoes goes into
innocuous desuetude with the approach
of autumn, none of the various tones
of brown being seen in the latest goods,
except those intended for rolf or the
high riding boot.
The high bicycle boot for women is.
o to speak, on, the fence. Beginners
in the gentle art of wheeling will prob
ably affect the high-laced shoe, but old
riders prefer the Oxford, of some serv
iceable leather, such as kangaroo or
dongola, and the chic golf, stocking ia
subdued shades.
For wedding outfits there is a call for
dainty slippers of brocade, matching
an elaborate ball or dinner gown, while
it goes without saying- that the wed
ding shoe must be made of a piece of
me Dridal gown.
For dressy occasions, such as calling,
etc., the patent leather shoe is the top
notch of style, and, whether Oxford Me
or buttoned boot, is sure" to be bought
an easy fit by the woman .who knows
the "ways that are dark and tricks that
are vain" of that particular kind of
footgear.
For- winter wear the laced or " but
toned calfskin shoe, with wide extent
sion sole and military heel, will be
adopted by the woman of fashion a
mode that has no drawbacks, now that
most first-class shoe stores have a spe
cial Diacking department, where milady
can step in. and have a "shine" free
from the gaze of the vulgar herd.
Children's school shoes, too, have the
merit of common sense. Broad toes and
spring heels are the rule, while calf
skin or goatskin, with tips of the same,
are the favorite leathers in. vogue.

DEDICATED TO GOD.
St. Peter' Catholic Church Consecrated by
Archbishop Gnu.
Today the new Catholic church was
formally dedicated, the services com
mencing at 10 o'clock and concluding
at noon. The building was filled to
the very doors when Archbishop Gros
formally dedicated the edifice to the
service of God, pronouncing a bless
ing upon the building and the
congregation. The mass in honor oi
St. Patrick was chanted by Father
Bronsgeest, pastor of St. Peter's
church, Father Verhaag, of Baker
City, and Father Bolla, of Oregon City,
with beautiful response from the choir
and orchestra.
At the close of the dedicatory ser
vices, Archbishop Gross delivered an
eloquent and touching address. His
theme was the faith displayed bv St
Peter, to whom the church was con
secrated, and that of St. Patrick, both
of whom he held up as fitting examples
for present generations to emulate.
His address throughout was a masterly
effort, replete with rhetorical expres
sions and liberal ideas, reflecting the
thought of the liberal mind that is
possessed by the eminent speaker.
l the close of the bitbop's address
the choir and orchestra rendered some
beautiful selections and the services
were closed in accordance with the
ritualistic ceremonies of the church

THE DALLES' FIRST PEDAGOGUE.
A ftemlnlscence of Kariy school Work In
This City.
Ed. Times-Motjxtaikeeb:
Having seen an article in your paper
in regard to who was the first school
teacher at The Dalle?, and as none
seem to know the right of it, I will
tell what I know of the matter.
I came to The Dalles in September,
1852. a soldier in Co. K, Fourth U. S.
infantry, in command of Captain and
Brevet Major Benjamin Arnold (the
only troop here at that time) and there
were but two settlers located here.
In the summer of 1853 Major Rains,
with Captain and Brevet Major G. O
Ha! ler. in command of Co. I, Fourth
Infantry, came to the post, and in the
spring of 1854 Major Rains had a log
school house built a little south and
west of where the academy now stands,
and a sergeant of Co. I, by the name of
Miller was detailed to teach.
In the spring sf 1855 a young man by
the name of Meigs came to The Dalles
looking for something to make a living
at, and nothing better offering, bo de
termined to organize a school. He suc
ceeded in getting enough children to
gether, and opened a school. Later in
the season, however, when the Indians
became troublesome in the upper

Centennial of the Rebellion In Ireland Ob
served in The Dalles.
Last night there was an impromptu
gathering at the K. of P. ball in obser
vation of the 100th anniversary of the
Irish rebellion that was attended by a
large number of ladies and gentlemen.
J. P. Mclneroy acted as master of
ceremonies, and right well did hn per
form the duties, by infusing life and
merriment into the proceedings.
N.'j. Sinnott delivered a t leasing
and appropriate ' address that was
listened to with 'marked Interest.
Mayor Nolan and J. S. Fish gave reci
tations appropriate to the occasion,
and Fathers Verhaag and Bronsgeest
both made short addresses, ' while
music was furnished by Mr. and Mrs.
J. P. Benton and Mark Long.
After the literary and musical exer
cises lunch was served, and a most
pleasant evening was concluded in
social conversation among those in at
tendance. v
A stomach of undigested fooi is
about as unhealthy a mass as one can
well imagine.
What can be done with it?
There it 6tays. It won't digest. It
churns up, ferments and decays; be-1
comes poisonous (as all putrid matter
dees) and causes great pain and deep
seated disorders.
In order to change all this, take
Shaker Digestive Cordial.
It stops fermentation and decay at
once, so that no more poisons are
created.
It clears the stomach of poison al
realy there. It helpa.it to turn the
food that remains, into healthful
nourishment. It strengthens the
stomach for the ncxt meal.
Here is the whole philesooby and
cure of indigestion in a few words.
And what's more, it's nil true. Try It.
Shaker Digestive Cordial is for 6ale
by druggists, price 10 cents to $1.00 a
bottle.
A Hint From the Klondike.
Joseph Ladue, the famous trapper
and miner and the , preseBt owner of
Dawson City, and for many years the
agent of the Alaska Commercial Com
pany gives a hint to persons going to
Alaska, and pays great compliment to
a well known article. . He writes:
"I have always used the Royal Bajfe
ing Powder id Alaska andNjrthwest
Territory, as no othejifequal satis
faction i n that bfarsbi climate. I also
found my cjStomers , always insisted
on havintzhat brand."'
The new church is one in which the
Citholic congregation may take pride,
and is truly a credit to - the citv. It
has been the hope of the congregation
for many years to see this building
completed, and they are now to be
congratulated upon the realization of
their hopes. . In 18S9 the members of
the congregation devised plans for
erecting a building more suited to
their requirements than the old mis
sion church which was erected in 1861,
and a committee was appointee con
sisting of Messrs. Max Vogt, H. Her-
bring, E. P. Fitzgerald and Jacob Fritz,
and for nine years these gentlemen
worked zealously to accomplish the
end which now crowns their efforts.
Money was collected in small
amounts from members of the congre
gation and was accumulated by giving
fairs, and finally last spring the com
mittee felt justified in beginning the
structure. The building was begun
in May, and on July 25, 1897, the cor
ner stone was laid by Archbishop
Gross.
The contract for the building was
letto'Wm. atz, of Portland, one of
the most reliable builders on the coast,
and the building now stands as an evi
dence of bis honest work. It is built
after plans prepared by Architect
Rinklage, of Munster, and were do
nated by Mr. Herbring, but were
slightly changed by Otto Kleemann,
the superintendent of construction, in
or ler that tbey might be made to suit
the requirements of the congregation
here. Mr. Valz did ill the stone and j
bri ;k work while the wood finish was
done by John McGavern and D.
Heroux.
The church is built of brick with
stone caps on butresses and step:
stamped iron ceiling with aluminum
finish, art glass windows throughout,
and sralvanlzed iron Spanish tiles. It
is gothlo in style, though sufficiently
modibed to give it a pleasing appear
ance and obviate stiffness.
The full length of the church is 120
feel, its width is 40 feet, and it has a
roomy basement in which is located
the gas generator for lighting.' The
magnificent spire, 176 feet in height,
towers above ail surrounding buildings
and can be viewed from . a great dis
tance. The church has a full seating
capacity of about 550, and when sup
plied with new pews will be one of the
aanst beautiful and comfortable church
edifices on the Pacific coast. When
the grounds are graded and the pews
put In, the church will have cost about
$18,000, a most liberal outlay for a con
gregation of 750 persons.

WILL BEPEL.I. THE DEMAND
Spain loslsts That the afalae Disaster Was
Aa Accident.
Madrid, March 17. The following
semi-official note was issued today:
"The report of the Spanish commis
sion en the Maine hab not yet been
made, but the statement of several
technical officers, who have made a
close examination of the scene, shows
it to be indisputably due to an internal
accident. American assertions to the
contrary are therefore deplored in offi
cial quarters, as tending to mislead
public opinion and render the situa
tion more difficult from the standpoint
of maintaining friendly relations be
tween the two countries.
"It may be regarded as certain that
should tha American technical com
migbion report declaring that the dis
aster was due to an external explosion,
the public here will refuse to accept
such a findincr, and a demand for in
demnity based thereon will be indig
nantly repelled by Spain."

The program was exceptionally fine,
and almost every number was heartily

Stevens have exceptionally good
voices, and careful culture has made
them perfect. Miss Eliot's class
rendered one selection, "Lady Bird"

in the city, and brought forth many
pleasant comments.

Embezzlement the Charge.
Oregon City, March 17. Late yes
terday afternoon Deputy United States
Marshal Humphrey arrested S. R.
Green, ex-postmaster of this olty, on a
charge of embezzling $300 of money
order funds while postmaster. The
matter grew out of the dismissal of
Green as postmaster three monts ago,
on a charge of embezzling postoffi.ee
funds, there being a shortage in the
box-rent and key-deposit funds, a
money order having been cashed to
the wrong person. His bondsmen
took charge of the office, and made the
shortages good. They still have pos
session of the office, and will receive
nearly enough in salary to reimburse
them for the amount they had to make
good.
