bedside of William O'Neil. He in
forms us that Mr. O'Neil suffered a
- great deal all day yesterday, and that
. death was certainly a relief.
Representative Roberts . hss intro
duced a bill in the house granting a
franchise for a toll road and bridge
across the John Day river, connecting
Gilliam and Sherman counties, that
should become a law Such a road and
bridge would be a convenience to the
- resident of both counties. '
The funeral of William O'Neil will

gett's undertaking parlors at 2 o'clock
tomorrow afternoon. Members of the
Order of Red Men are requested to
form promptly at 1 o'clock at their

The warm weather . of the last few
days caused the enormous accumul
atlon of ice which was blockaded in the
big eddy opposite Seufert Brothers
place to brake loose. This morning
some enormous chunks floated down
. the stream, and judging from the
appearance of the bergs they were not
less than twenty feet in thickness.
A letter was received from Cbarlas
Clarke, of Hood River, today stating
that ho would bo present at tbe club
minstrels on Saturday evening. He
has consented to sing a solo on that

' delighted to hear of this addition to
the already complete and ell arranged
program.
A very pleasant social was given last
evening at the Christian church by
the younger members of the congrega
tion and the Ladies Aid Society. The
' social was well attended and the audi
ence well entertained by the rendi
tion of a well arranged program. " All
voted at the conclusion of the even
ings pleasures, that 'they could not de
sire to attend a more pleasant affair.
Grave fears are entertained by many
of the fruit raisers that the warm
spring like weather which we are en
joying at present will cause the trees
to bud earlier than t usual so that the
frost which is almost sure to come
later will destroy the fruit crop for
this year. Grain and grasses are
growing throughout the interior and
there is no reason why tbe trees should
not also, begin to shoot out sprouts in
the near future.
Frank Menefee received a tele
gram from Portland today informing
him 'of the death of Mrs. Menefee's
grandfather, Mr. Jacob Zimmerman.
Mr. Zimmerman has lived in Portland

brought in Monday evening, to Baker
City, from the Bonanza mind, 2070
ounces of gold, melted into four bricks
valued at f 34,008, tht, result of a 12
days run. For several days it required
a flask of quick silver, containing 72
pounds, for each shift, . to absorb the
gold on the plates. With the last
cleanup of seven days, this makes
$48,000 in. 19 days out of 570 tons of
ore, each ton yeilding over $84 free
gold in addition to concentrates which
are all being saved.

was in the city last evening and at
tended the rehearsal of The Dalles
Minstrels, which will be given in the
Vogt opera nouse on Saturday even

; The ferrymen were busily engaged
yesterday afternoon in raising the old

It with a new one, which judging from
Its dimensions and strength will guide
the boat manv day. ' The cable was
the only thing required to complete
the paraphernalia of the new ferry and
this last need Is supplied.
The warm winds and sunny weather
Is doing much towards drying up
the streets and highways and if a
rainfall does not occur in the near
future, wheels will be taken from their

vice, while the driving horses who
have had a comparatively easy time
during tbe winter will have to step in'
to the harness ouce more. -

W., J. P. Fllnn; board of managers,
O. Kinersley, T. F. Ward, J. L. Reese;
physician, O. C. Hoi lister.
Quite a stir was produced early Sun
day morning by the discovery on Main
street in Antelope, of a very grotesque
figure bearing some resemblance to a
human body, hanging from a tripod of
rough planks. Placcards announced
to passers-by that this- effigy was sup
posed to represent one of the local
physicians. Dr. R. H. Pllklngton
Other placards pinned to the figure In
dicated that this was the calumination
of some feeling which had existed for
several days over the fact that Dr
Pilicington on last Friday publicly
whipped vouner Roy Keaton. The de
tails of the affair are already well
koown to the public. For the offense
of striking young Keaton Dr. Pilkioff
ton was fined $87.70 and the matter
was supposed to rest there, while local
affairs pursued the even tenor of their
way.
t Jury List for the Tear.
The following is tbe listof two bund-
red residents of Wasco county who

tbe road a tax of three-fifths of one

Tbe remains of William .O'Neil ar
rived on the 11:30 train last nlgbt and
were taken to Crandall & Burgett's
undertaking parlors, from which place
the funeral was held this afternoon.
It was attended by the Red Men in a
body as well ! as a large number of
friends, who desired to pay a last trib
ute to the departed. The interment

have a plot of land for their members.
The costumes which will be used in
The Dalles Minstrel show arrived last
evening, and tbe young1 men ' of the
show are well pleased with the same.
Every thing Is now ready for the per
formance and from Indications it bids
fair to rival any like performance that
has ever been witnessed by a Dalles
audience. Tbe boys show marked im
provement at every rehearsal and
they have all confidence in being able
to delight their aud'.ence from start to
finish.
For two and one half , days prior to
last Tuesday the snow in the Long
Creek valley, which had fallen to such
a depth as to cause unpiness among
stockmen, has all mel ed iway, the re
sult of chlnook winds. - This sudden
disappearance of the snow means the
saving of thousands of dollars to stock
men, as It will reduce tbe price of hay,
besides saving the lives of many cattle
and sheep that would otherwise have
perished. Stockmen generally believe
the winter is practically over, and that
their losses will be very light. '
. Last night Mrs. Mary J. Wagonblast
died at her home on Eight street in
this city. Mrs. Wagonblast, or Miss

WOOL GBO WEBS' MEETING.
An Important Convention of the ' Wool
Growers Matters .of Importance
Discussed The Allotment
Flan Adopted.
The closing session of the Wool
growers meeting was held, as an
nounced, In the Umatilla House par
lor at 8 o'clock Monday evening. .
Capt. Ormsby arrived on the Spo
kane flyer and was present at the meet
ing. He informed- tbe wool growers
that the departmentof the Interior cad
decided on the allotment plan, and
that each sheepralser would have the
privilege of leasing a certain amouut
of summer range land. As yet it has
not been decided as to what the rental
price would be, but he was of the opinion
that It would not exceed one cent per
head. A vote was taken on this matter
ia order to ascertain as to whether or
not this rate was satisfactory to the
sheepmen, and was favored by the ma
jority of those present.
The question of the length of time
for which these lands would be leased
was discussed. Many held that five
years was a sufficient time, while some
voted still longer period. Two years
was favored by the majority, however,
and this time may be extended.
Fred W. Wilson then moved that
the men who have at present allot
ments of lands be allowed to haye.the
preference of leasing- the .same, -and
the motion carried uhanimously'."
Captain Ormsby stated that he could
promise nothing definitely as these
suggestions may be over-ruled by the
department. . -
A vote of thanks was tendered by
the association to the Dalles Commer
cial club for the use of the club rooms,
to Messrs. Sinnott & Fish for their
klndmess in allowing them the use of
their parlor in which to hold last even
ing's session , and to Capt. Ormsby for
his attendance and the interest he took
in their meeting.
The sheepmen, many of whom left
for their homes this morning, are ap
parently well pleased with the result
of the meeting. -

fish wheel belonging to The Dalles
Packing Co., on the Washington side
of tbe river on December 23d, had died
in St. Vincent's hospital at 11 o'clock
last night.
cor a time after tbe accident it was
thought by the physicians that he was
suffering from serious injuries of the
spine, on further investigation, bow-
ever, it was found that his back' was
broken and the most remarkakle thing
is that he survived so long in this con'
dition. He was about 26 years of age,
and, unmarried. But little could be
learned of his birthplace or family
more than that be has one brother,
John O'Neil living in Spokpne, Wash

Some one informed Eobert J. P.
Copeland, of this city, that holding a

mouth was a remedy for the toothache.

lowed it. In less than an hour he was
dead.
Mice are fond of music. This fact

get close to the strains of harmony,
wander into the trap, and are easily
caugnt.

Four monkeys in Haraki, Japan,

with terror among the branches.

Stock Brands. - I
The law provides that each stock
raiser may record his brand or brands
with the county clerk of the county in
which be resides, and thereby may
acquire the'title to the brand, that can
not be infringed upon by others. This
is a good provision, but that its good
effects may be realized it is necessary
that every stock raiser should have
means of knowing the brands of every
other stock raiser without having to
visit the county seat to ascertain them.
This should be known also for the
the purpose of ascertaining the loca
tion of stock that has strayed away
from. its range The Times-Mountain
eer has devised a plan by which this
knoweledge may be placed in the
hands of every stock raiser in . the
neighboring counties. It is to publish
a book of all brands recorded in the
counties of Wasco, Crook, Sherman
and Giiliam. Provided sufficient sales
of the book can be guaranteed to
justify the expense, the book will be
published and placed on the market at
50 cents each." Stockmen who will
take'coples are requested to notify us
by postal card, and If a sufficient num
ber can he sold the book will be
published by Aprli 1st. -

handicaps are so arranged that every

I suppose there is a great deal of un
recognized genius in the world," re
marked the literary young woman.
Yes, indeed," replied her father, as
he looked up from the trade paper;
lots and lots of it. People are a great
deal more sensible these days than they
used to be."
You mean they are more sensible
because they hare so much . unrecog
nized genius?" she queried in surprise.
Ilhat'8 Lt, precisely. Taking off his
glasses and balancing them on his fore
finger, he went on: "I remember when
was a boy-1' ttad !a great talent for
music. I cou.d remember almost any
tune I ever heard, and play it on a
mouth-harp. And draw pictures?
Ma-ny is the picture I ihave drawn. So
hard is it to curb genius fthat lofta of
times I would find myself dTawingjiic
tures on my slate' instead of doing mv
arithmetic." '
'How unfortunate that you couldn't
have cultivated your talentsl" '
Jiot a bit of it not bit of it. I was
peculiarly, fortunate. The - trouble
with too many geniuses. js nhat they
don't have common sense. Now, I was
different. I profited by my oppor
tunities. ' You can't get a common
school education without finding out
what is likely to happen, to man . as
soon as the world picks him out as a
genius. Go right along through- the
list of them. They are always selling I
pictures or poems or musical composi
tions for less than the market value.
People somehow expect it of them. And
it's mighty seldom that one gets rich
As soon as I discovered that I bad' any
symptoms of genius, I fought them
down. I battled with myself and went
into the livery stable business. By being-
cautious and attending to business
I arrived' at a position of comparative
independence, so that I can look con-
temtedly aronnd me and feel that it
would not do any great harm .now, even
if I were recognized." waahingtox
