Daley is a morphine fiend and Myers is
a half-witted old fellow, who is just
crazy enough to be a thief, but not a
subject for an iusane asylum. It Is to
be hoped botb will be reformed in the
penitentiary.

THANKSGIVING JAV OBSERVANCES
All
the Store Were Closed and Bells
loos Service Were Held.
From Friday's Daily.
Hon. E. O. McCoy spent yesterday
in the city. '
. Mrs. S. L. Brooks went to the Cas
cades today. -
C. L. Solomon, one of the leading
merchants of Prinevllle, arrived here
All of the stores closed here at noon
Thursday as did the courts and public
offices except the postoffice, which was
openen from 10 to 11 A. M., and the day
was truely observed as one of rest and
thanksgiving. There was no school
and teachers and pupils repaired either
to their homes or to church to observe
the day. Appropiate services were
held at the Episcopal and Lutheran
churches in the forenoon and union
services were conducted at the Congre
gational church in tho evening.
Thanksgiving day was observed by
the Lutherans, of this city, in their
new church on Union street. At 11
tn., the services opened with a song
by the choir, followed by the beauti
ful responsive ' services of the church
for the occasion.. A soprano solo by
Miss Clara Nickelsen was well ren
dered, as was also a song by the male
quartette. Rev. Grey took for his
text the fifth and sixth verse of the
67th Psalm. His discourse dealt freely
with the events that brought into
existance the observance of this day
by giving thanks to Almighty God;
coming from the dark ages of christi
anity, down to the present time. A
careful review was given of all that
has transpired during the past year,
our conflict witn the once mighty
nation of Spain; in the cause of hu
manity, the work 01 the preaching the
gospel in foreign lands, in fact much
for which we should on this day re
joice aud give thanks.
The sermon was an interesting as
well as instructive one, and with tbo
musical features the services were
very befitting for the observance of
Thanksgiving day.
At the Episcopal church the services
consisted of the usual morning service
of song and response, and an able
thanksgiving address by the rector,
lev. Joseph De Forrest. The minis
ter took for bis theme the observances
of thanksgiving by the ancient Chris
tians, and how -tho custom has been
carried down. In former times when
church and state were closely allied
certain sums were set apart by tho
state for distribution among the
churches as thanksgiving offerings
and for the supportrof the needy, and
now the custom prevails, though in
toe opinion of the speaker, it is more
systematically applied, the state pro
viding for the needy in asylums, homes
etc., while the churches extend their
charities to the needy everywhere
For this and the bounteous favors be'
stowed upon us, Mr. De Forest said
we should be truly thankful, and it is
well that we devote one day each year
in such offerings.
The services at thd Congregational
church in the evening-were very im
pressive. They began with a beautiful
anthem by the choir, followed by the
reading of a scriptural lesson, and re
sponsive reading by Rev. Poling, pas,
tor of the Congregational church,
Rev. J. H. Wood, of the M. E. church,
delivered the thanksgiving address,
taking as his subject tho things for
which we may be thankful, including
the peace which wo now enjoy, the
early termination of tho war
with Spain and the bountiful bar-
1
vests that have caused plenty to
abound throughout the nation. In
; conclusion he made an eloquent ap-
i peal to his hearers to recognize in the
blessings bestowed upon them tbehand
of God as the creacor and giver of all
good. ,
At the Christian chnrch there were
praise services in the evening, also at
tho Calvery Baptist church, though in
neither was special thanksgiving offer
ings made, and owing to the bazaar
being condueted by the ladies of the
Catholic church, thero was no special
service conducted in . St. Peter's
church.

Tho day was all that could be de
sired, and at the auDointed time the
building was well filled with specta'
tators and teachers.
Miss Anna Smith's paper on "should
wo have music in our public schools,"
was well prepared and brought forth
considerable discussion.
H. L. Howe, on "plants and their
children," gave some thought on the
relation of plant study in the schools.
R. R. Allard's paper on "the civil
war," was well discussed, some or tne
Old Vets" taking part In the dis
cussion.
Eiiza Steyens gave an interesting
paper on "raothous and helps in teacu-
iog reading in the primary grades.
At this point it was announced that
dinner was waiticg in the lower room
and It is needless to say that the an
nouncement met with prompt response,
The teachers and visitors found the
tables tastefully decorated, and spread
with such food as our Hood River val
ley cooks know how to prepare.
After dinner a recitation by Miss
Nettie Hart was followed by a paper
on "mental arithmetic," by Miss Hes
ter Howe, a yonng teacher, which
showed Miss Howe not among the
'Rip Van Winkle" class of teachers,
Mella White gave a very interest
ing recitation, and M. P. Isenberg
then gave an interesting talk on "rela'
tion of the flag to the public school,"
after which the flag raising and flag
salute closed the exercises.
I thiuk everybody voted the meet
ings a success only to be appreciated
by those who attend one of superin
tendent Gilbert's meetings.

Yesterday, morning George Smith,
a lad about 15 years of age' who resides
a few miles west of town, undertook to
behead a goose for Thanksgiving din
ner, but instead amputated part of
his left thumb. He brought what was
left of the disabled member to town
and secured the services of Dr. Hoi
lister to patch It up. He fajs the
goose wriggled just when he went to
cut off its head.
Yesterday Messers. Gilliam, Cocl
& Campbell celebrated Thanksgiving
by launchibg their ferry boat Klicki
tat, the old Western Queen, which ; the uathonc enure n
they have rebuilt and made as good as : house on Wednesday
new. The launching was not attended
with much ceremony, but as the boat
slid down the ways Miss Anna Cook
broke a bottle of champagne, and said
' I name thee Klickitat." The ma
chinery will be put in the boat at once,
andMt will be used between Lyle and
the Oregon side.
What might have proved a disas
trous fire started in Rev Wilburn's
residence at the Calvary Baptist
church Wednesday evening. Mrs.
Wilburn had left a two-year-old child
in a room-where there was a lighted
lamp, and the lamp was overturned in
someway. The child was penned in
between the wall and the burning oil
that was rapidly spreading over the
place when discovered by Mrs. Wil
burn. who gave an alarm tbatattracted
the attention of Messrs. J. F. Moore
John Crate, and they rushed into the
house, rescued the child .and put out
the flames In time to prevent a serious
fire.
Thanksgiving Foot Hall.
Thanksgiving would hardly be com
plete in America these days without a
foot ball game, and in this respect The
Dalles was not behind. Quite an in

ALL DOC1IT REMOVED.
The Man arrested -at Winnemucca Is

There is no longer any doubt that
the man arrested at Winnemucca is
Frank Forester, murderer of Brogan,
following dispatch received from tho
Sheriff at Winnemucca gives a de
scription of the man that removes all
doubt that there could be a mistake in
identity.

Paris, Nov. 22. The Spanish peace
commissioners last night telegraphed
to Madrid the substance of the United
States' memorandum presented yester
day, and late yesterday evening they
were discussing it among themselves.
As hit9 as 1 o clock this morning a
Spanish commissioner affirmed that
his colleagues did not know what to
do regarding the American onr.
There is a difference of opinion among
unofficial people near the commission,
but tbe prediction is made that Spain
will decline the American offer of
money. She will refuse to cede the
Philippines and will say to the United
States:
'You may take the archipelago be
cause you bave the power to do so. As
you advance wa will retire, protesting
against tbe greedy aggression. We
will faithfully carry out our part of
the pledges, and leave Cuba and Porto
Rico in your hands. You came to en
gage in a discussion under the terms
of the protocol, but you evidently
meant, when drawing up that docu
ment, to provide a conference in which
though we differ man to man you pro
posed to announce at the time what
you will do whether we agree to it or
object. An attitude that robs the con
ference of a negotiative character, and
sets up the United States as a dominant
power whose first purpose is to listen,
but whose ultimate determination is
to do its own will.'1
manager of tbe hotel is among the
dead.
The fire leaves E. J. (Lucky) Bald
win almost bankrupt, as he carried
only about 8150,000 Insurance, acd be
has debts aggregating more than-a
million and a half dollars.
Tbe fire department now believe the
flames originated in the hotel kitchen,
but the police are convinced that they
started In the rear of the Baldwin
theater. There were many narrow
escapes from death, and the marvel is
how the many guests of the hotel suc
ceeded In escaping within the short j
time afforded them, as tbe spread of
the flames was remarkably rapid.

POETIC ATTORNEY.
Wants to Argne Ills Case In Rhyme
but the Court Objects.
Anderson, Ind., Nov. The attor
ney for the defendant in a case in the
circuit court served a notice taat he
would present his argument in poetry.
Tbe attorneys for the plaintiff protest
ed, and tbe 'court arose In dignity and
said he would not permit poetical ar
guments. : ''
The matter led to an argument
about the right to employ poetry in
law, and it was found there were no
precedents or statutes against such a
method, and the poetical attorney was
obdurate. The court refused to let
tbe case proceed on this basis, and It
was postponed until January 2. The
attorney for 'the defense lusuts that
ho will present and argue bis case in
rhyme, and there seems to be no way
to hold him off.

HASTE is EVACUATION. .
Thirty Transports Coming Over After
Fpaniah Soldiers.
Washington, Nov. 22 The Cuban
evacuation commission has made quite
extended report? to the wardepa-t-ment
concerning tbe situation in the
islands, relating largely to camps,
conditions and proposed sites for the
United States garrisons, as well as
suggestions as to supplies for tbe army
and other mattters of detail which
must be considered befov' ha, army ia
sent to Cuba, .-'
One of tbe most important features
of later reports is that the evacuation
ef tho islands by the Spaniards may
take place sooner than at first antici
pated. The commission has teen in
formed that 30 Spanish transports are
now on the way to Cuba, and that they
wiil be able to take away a large num
ber of troops.
. Somebody Was Imposed Upon.
Washington, Nov. 22. A Paris
bulletin sent out shortly after noon on

The message was received over the
wires of the Compagnie Francaise des
de Cables Telegraphlques (the French
Telegraph-Cable Company); and it ap
pears on inquiry that the cable sheet
handed in al the Paris office was in

The cable company was imposed upon.
As Well as the Safest and Cheapest.
The new medical discovery. Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets, digest tbe food in
stead of making the worn put stomach
do all the work, give it a much needed
rest, and a cure of dyspepsia is the
natural result.
You get nourishment and rest at the
same time because these Tablets will
thoroughly digest all wholesome food
taken into the stomach whether tbe
stomach works or not. A cure is cer
tain to result because the diges'.ive or
gans are given a chance to rest and
recover their natural vigor and tone!
The Tablets are then no longer re
quired.
To show the manner in which the
remedy acts on different people and
how quickly and effectually it cures
stomach troubles we present a few
recent cases.
Mr. J. O. Wondly, of Peoria, 111.,
writes: I was unable to eat anything
but tho plainest food and even that
often distressed me, but since using
one box of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
I can eat anything and everythicg I
want.
Mrs. Samuel Kepple, of Girty, Pa.,
writes: I have been entirely relieved
of my stomach troubles by your Tab
lets. I suffered three years with sour
stomach and gas at night. I am thank
ful for them.
Mrs. A. E. Bowen, Barnard; Vt.,
writes: I think Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets are the best thing for dyspep
sia I ever took. I will recommend
them to anyone troubled as bad as I
was.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will not
disappoint because they cure Pyspep
sla surely and lastingly by causing tbe
food to bi properly assimilated, and
cure constipation by producing the
proper quantity of bile, Sold by all
druggists at 50 cents per package.

CASE WILL BE APPEALED.
Pacific Express Company Not Yet Brady
to Pay the War Tax.
Jefferson City, Mo., Nov. 24.
The supreme court en banc has denied
the motion of the Pacific Express
Company for a transfer of tbe case
against it regarding the payment of
the war revenue stamps to the federal
court. In the motion the defendant
company claims that as the proceed
ing was to determine the construction
of a federal statute, the United States
6ourt had original jurisdiction. ' The
attorneys for the company filed their
bill of exceptions to the ruling of the
supreme court, and the case will prob
ably be appealed to the federal court.
An alternative writ of mandamus
was granted Attorney Ueoeral urow
In his proceedings against the Ameri

To Increase the Discount.
Washingnon, Nov. 24. The com
missijuers of internal revenue in bis

recommends that the war r jvenut law
be amended so as to allow a discount
of 3 per cent to purchasers of $100 cr
more instead of 1 per cent, as now
provided. Unless such action is
taken, the commissioners say, a very
large increase! a the number ofstamrs
duties will be necessary. Tbe num

REVOLT IN SAN SALVADOR.
All the States Are Liable to Become In
volved In tbe Conflict.
New York, Nov. 22. A dispatch
to the Herald from Panama says: Late
advices from Salvador via Nicaragua
indicate that the revolt Is more serious
than at first thought. It may involve
all the five states in a general con'
flagratlon. '
According to advices, the real ob
ject of tbe movements is tbe overthrow
of tbe federal republic, which was or
ganized November 1 at Amapala. To
accomplish this Regalados called in
the aid of Gautemala and Costa Rica,
who always viewed the union of Sal
vador, Nicaragua and Honduras as a
constant menace to its sovereignty.
The rebels are in possession of all
the departments, with the exception
of La Union and San Miguel, the latter
a stronghold of Qoracio Villavlcenclo,
who is a candidate in opposition to
Regalados. ,
The federal government is hurriedly
mobilizing its forces to march against
Regalados. Honduras sends 4000; Nic
aragua, 400, and the federal district of
Salvador, , 2000. ... The movement Is
backed by. capitalis who are well
known military men.

far as Lake Michigan, Illinois and

cold wave for this season of the year,
but it is moderating somewhat in the
northern Rocky mountain reigon.

THE BALDWIN BDBK8.
One of th Famous Hotels of San Fran,
cisco Is Destroyed.
. San Francisco, Nov. 24. The
Baldwin hotel, for almost 30 years ooe
of the principal landmarks of San
Francisco is no more. A fire which
broke out in the east end of the build
ing shortly at e 2 o'clock yesterday
morning, supposedly in the property
room of the Baldwin theater, totally
destroying the immense structure,
entailing a financial loss of nearly
$1,500,000, besides destroying property
that no amount of money or 'science
can replace. ... '
The loss of life was very light; con
sidering the number of people in the
building, there having been some 800
guests and employes in, tbe hotel,
there having been only five fatalities
so far as ia known. J. L. White
Barbers all wear long linen dusters.
Bank drafts are always made out in
duplicate. ,
No person carrying a load ia allowed
to walk on the sidewalk.
It is contrary to law to indorse a
check from one person to another.
Drivers never cluck to their steeds,
but urge them on with shrill hisses.
There are free parks, free seats and
free music in all the ciUes of Mexico. .
.. All kinds of vehicles as well as bi
cycles are obliged to carry lights after
dark.
6 trips of newspapers are fastened to
the balconies in front of rooms that are
for rent. -
Every householder is required 'o
sweep the street in front of his prop
erty and -sprinkle it twice a day.
All men and most of the women ef
the lower class smoke cigarettes, but
none of them chew tobacco..
Heavy wagons are not allowed to use
the streets paved with asphalt except
when absolutely necessary.
A ihack driver sever leaves his seat
and you open the door for yourself and
settle with him on his high perch. .
A 'Mexican servant or messenger
never enters even a business house or
addresses his superiors without remov
ing his hat.
Hand rakes are almost unknown
Leaves and loose grass in the parks are
swept up with long handled brooms,
made of stiff twigs.
Street cars never stop at street or
track intersections to avoid right-angle
collisions, but the drivers make their
approach known by shrill horns.
- If the police find anyone carrying a
bundle through the streets who cannot
tell where he is going, or give a clear
account of himself, lie is promptly ar
rested. The' single entrance of even the larg
est apartment house is locked at ten
o'clock every night, and the portero ex
pects a- "gratification" if he is roused
after that hour.
When a person is injured on the
street lie and every one connected with
the affair are taken to the nearest po
lice station, where each is required to
make a declaration.
The water pressure is seldom suffi
cient to furnish a supply to upper
stories, and every house is supplied
with a force pump with which a reser
voir on the roof is kept filled. .
The residences are all blessed. At
the completion of the home guests are
bidden and the ceremony- of blessing
them corresponds to a house-warming.
The priest passes through each room,
sprinkling it with holy water.
Tbe banks will not take for deposit
a five-dollar check on a bank in another
city, although it bear the indorsement
of a regular patron with a good balance
to his credit, but the same customer
can go to the bank and get a New York
draft for $1,000 without paying for it
and the bank will send around the next
day for a check tocover the amount'
Invitations to baptisms come in many
dainty- forms, but invariably have at
tached to them a new piece of money.
To the immediate members of the fam
ily the coin, is of gold, but to most of
the bidden is sent a silver ten-cent
piece. -
Everything and everybody pays a di
rect tax, from the street porter to the
largest mercantile establishment, and
the stamp tax for documents is equally
lucrative- Even placards and posters,
other than your own. in your own house,
must bear a stamp.
Water for the bathrooms is heated in
a novel way. The separate supply tank
on the roof has an opening from top to
bottom, through the center, that acts
as a chimney to the -fireplace below the
tank. A small fire heats a good quan
tity of water very iiuickly.
Nearly every one is named after
some saint, generally the one to whom
the day or. which he was bom is
sacred. If lie bears the name of a saint
whose day falls on other than hisbirth-
y, he celebrates only the saint's day
and calls it el dia de su santo.
The -Mexican policeman often seems
a bit stubborn, but it can be truly said
in his favor that ie never sets him
self up as a court of judgment. If an al
tercation or a fight occurs on the street
be does not attempt to decide which
party was right, bu botb are promptly
taken to appear before the judge, -whose
business it is to determine which on
started the row. Modern Mexico.
fARis, Kov. 24. The Spanish com
missioners at noon today had not fixed
upon a day to submit a fiual answer to
the American propositions, but it
deemed most likely that Saturday will
be the day appointed. The opinion
gains ground that the Spaniards wlil
accept the proposals of the United
States. A significaut indication of
this view of the situation was a re
mark dropped by senor Abenzusa, of
the Spanish commission, today that
they expected to remain here about a
fortnight longer.
1 he secretary or the bpanisb com
mission, Senor Ojeda, said today that
instructions from Madrid were not
sufficiently matured to enable them to
appoint the next meeting.
The correspondent of the associated
Press asked Aberzuea if the commis
sion would be able to leave Paris next
week with the treaty. He replied:
"I suppose we shall be here for another
fortnight." -
"Why." the Spanish commissioner
was asked, ""is the opinion expressed
so emphatically by a portion of the
Paris press that you will decline the
$20,000,000, but will sign the treaty
with a protest that you do so only by
pressure of superior power?'
"Well it does seem that $20,000,000
Is not very satisfactory."
ibis was tbe. semi-evasive manner
in which the Spanish diplomat answer
ed tbe question. His questioner con
tinued: "Then it has been affirmed that
Spain will refuse tn sign tbe treaty
decline the money offered and protest
to the powers and that her commis
sioners will go home. Is that the
most likely result?''
"Ah but we should not anticipate,
we should know day by day ' what hap
pens day by day."
The Petit Bleau reaffirms today as a
certainty that the Spanish will refuse
the American offer of $20,000,009 for
the treaty cession of the Philippines.
The Temps says: 'if Spain should
withdraw from the peace negotiations,
the war should not be resumed, but
the protocol would come into force
again. The Spanish army would
evacuate Cut a aod Porto Rioo, while
the Philippines will remain in Dewey's
occupation, hut not America's possess-
loo. The only result would be that
diplomatic relations would not be re
newed."
