Members of the Order of Red Men are requested to form promptly at 1 o'clock at their wigwam. Friends of the deceased are also respectfully invited to'attend the funeral.- 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 evening and all who know of bis sweet voice and ability a9 a singer, will be ' 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 for over thirty years and was a well known and highly respected citizen. He was father-in-law of Hon. E. B.

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.

The re mains will be brought to this c ity for interment. ; ; The ferrymen were busily engaged yesterday afternoon in raising the old cable welch had broken and replacing 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 winter .quarters and pressed into ser 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. - 6055 Modern Woodmen of America, was organized in this city by Deputy High Chancellor H.

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 interment took place in the Odd Fellows cemetery in which place the Red Men's order 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.

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. - FOB A POSTAGE ROAD. The Washington rglslatnre May Author ize- t Building;.

Eats annoyed the family of Johann Welreck, at Indian Valley, Idaho. , He laid poison in places near their haunts. and in a few days his wife and three children became dangerously ill. The rats, after eating the poison, had gone to tbe family well for water, and died in It. Some one informed Eobert J. P. Copeland, of this city, that holding a small quantity of carbolic acid in the mouth was a remedy for the toothache. He tried it, and the acid so pained him that, while gasping for breath, he swal lowed it. In less than an hour he was dead. Mice are fond of music.

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. - The new medals for the Friday night tournament at the Dalles Commercial club have arrived and are a much neater medal than those used in the last contest. The usual three men team contest will be held this evening and a full attendance is expected. A new set of king pins has also been purchased and everything that would 1 aid In making high scores attended to so that if any previous records are b-okeri it will not be surprising. The handicaps are so arranged that every one has an equal show for winning and a" close contest Is expected. Vogt Jan. 28, 1899 Elegant Costumes.

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 star.
