Word comes direct from New York
- tbat tbe union facinc wuiorcet iony
five locomotives, and tbe Oregon Short
Line is considering tbe purchase of
thirty freight locomotives. As the
engines would be ordered by tbe same
officers in New York, it would mean
tbe Urgest locomotive order placed by
- a western compahy In many years; It
would necessitate a cash outlay of
: $600,000 or thereabouts. None of tbe
local officials of Salt Lake are prepared
- to authenticate these reports, ' but as
J. F. Gunn, the mechanical superin
tendent, is still, in New York, it is
likely tbat some important develoj.-
ments will soon come out regarding
motive power and equipment.
Tbe weather last night was about
one-half degree warmer in Tbe Dalles
than on the proceeding night while
reports from tbe country state that
it was somewhat colder than it was
on Thursday night. At Moro the
theremometer went down to ten be
low zero while reports from I4. ngt.iey
'let it at twelve. Forecast official-, i-tate
that the indications for warmer weath
er about Sunday night are gool while
on the other band the cold spell may
possibly keep up for some time yet.
One good feature of tbe present weath
er is tbat it is not accompanied with
snow or sleet which makes it much
easier on stock.
Considering that last evening was
McEwen's first in our city the attend
ance was fairly large and an excellent
performance was given. This year he
does not do developing work with his
class in the afternoon as be did last,
and considerable timo was lost in get
ting a sufficient number to open tbe
entertainment. This will not occur
tonight as a class will be on hand so
that there will be no delay, and as he
will bave more time, deeper tests will
be tried. The performance of tbe.
musical specialist, McCoy, while in the
mesmeric state, is very interesting,
while bis juggling feats are little short
of being wonderful. Miss Grace May-
nard certainly deserves the title of
being tbe greatest cataleptic subject
living, and this alone is well worth
tbe admission price. McEwen has im
proved wonderfully since bis last visit
to Tbe Dalles, and tbe science of which
be is certainly master is worth the
study of the public.
From Mondays Dally.
. S. V. Maeoti, of Boyd, is in the city.
This afternoon John Sheehe, who Is
-fcajrgad wltk assault with a 4ang arotu '
weapon, furnished the required bonds,

Saturday evening Wood Bros of this
city shipped a carload of prime mutton

Hon. Leon Curtis, of Grand Dalles,
representative from Klickitat county,
left this morning for Olympia, having
been spending Sunday with bis family.
Two carloads of fat Dorkers fiom A
A. MeCully, of Wallowa County, were
fed at tbe stockyards today, after
which they were loaded and shipped to
tbe Union Meat company's slaughter
house at Troutdale.
Today numerous persons are tak
ing advantage of tbe freeze up by
walking across the river to the sister
state of Washington. Tbe ice is
Ducking harder alt the time and if the
cold spell continues a few days longer
earns can be driven from shore to
shore.
Mr. Frazier, the enterprising Yaki
ma sheep Dan, is in the city and gives
encouraging reports from that section.
He H'.ate8 that stock are in good con
dition and that an abundance of fine
alfalfa bay can be purchased for 33
per ton. ' The weather is about the
same as here and there is no danger
of a serious loss to stock. j
This morning Seufert Bros, put a
forje of men to work cutting and stor- j
log ice and if the weather continues a
few days longer they will have an
abundance stored to supply 11 needy.
The ice is about four inches thick and
is in splendid condition. ". his is the
second opportunity that icemen htve
bad to store ice during the winter and
the river i frozen oyer for the third
time, which is certainty an exception
for Oregon.
LDss , howling baa been done in the -
Dalles during the last few weeks than
since the alleys were first put in. and
if something is not do in th near
f lture to reyive interest thi soort. will
he a thing of the p-tst. At the Oma
tilla Bonse no unusually high scon-a
were made during the wvk while
the same may he said of the club
alleys. At Estebenet- & E-iping's
alley the following scores were made.

Victor Schmidt bad . a miraculous
escape yesterday while attempting to
put out t fire it his father's resi
dence. . When .he fire was dUcovced
he ascerdul a ladder with a bucket of
water, and cat chins; hold of tbe h'uu
ney to balance himself, attempted to
cross over the ride in oraer to throw
the water on the burning roof. The
bricks gavrt way when he threw his

The boys of The Dalles Cluh min

of seeing the town. The boys are pre
pared to put.on a sple did entertain
ment and look forward to a pleasant
trip. It was their intention to play in
Pendleton and Walla Walla, but It
was impossible to . secure the opera
bouse at the latter place,.on the night
they desired to show there, so tbis part
of the trip has been given up.
As was anticipated tbe atteodence
at McEwen's .performance Saturday
was much larger than on the previous
evening, a- d as a class was more read
ily secured than on Frid ty night a
muco more interesting entertainment
was given. Tbe professor opened tbe
entertainment by an instructive and
Interesting talk on mesmerism and
hypnosis and ridiculed tbe idea ofthe
legislature of Oregon or any othtr
state forbidding tbe practicing of tbe
same. Numerous interesting tests
were made, while McCoy the -musical
artist and juggler delighted everyone
by bis musical specialities club swing
ing and other like feats. After the
show the professor was entertained by
ois orotner ems untti train time wben
he left for Pendleton.

which are the most tender of our fruit
trees, will take as cold weather as ten
degrees below. It takes fifteen to
twenty degrees below to kill prunes,
from twenty to twenty-five below to
kill apples so there is apparently no
danger of our fruit being injured by
present weather since it bas not been
colder in any part of eastern Oregon
than ten degrees and in most places
much less. In the valley colder weath
er than we have been having Is report
ed and they may fare much worse
than we do in tbis regard.

Jack Sheehe Shoots Mike Shwartz In the
W bite House Saloon.
About 4:30 Saturday morning Mike
Shwariz was shot through tbe head by
Jack Sheehe, a railroad cooductor iu
the employ of tbe O li. & N. Co.,
and is very dangerously injured.
The shooting was the outcome of
too . much drink. Sheehe bad been
drinking , quite heavily during tbe
night and about 3 o'clock in tbe morn
ing got into a dispute with Frank
Summers, tbat terminated in a fight
in which Sheehe was worsted. After
the fight Summers and Sbeebe made up,
they and Uhwarts, who for several
days past has been lending bar io the
White House saloon, took a drink,
then Sheebe left,Summersand Shwartz
remaining in the saloon. About an
hour afterwards Sheehe returned and
coming up to the bar where Summers
and Sawanz were, took a drink,
ordered another, drew his pistol and
shot Shwartz through the bead, the
ball eutering just in front of the right
ear and comiiig out in front of the Itfl
ear. Sheebe tben drew , his pistol on

Summers, who grappled with him
forcing the pistol upward so that the
second time it was discharged the
ball went through the ceiling.
Shwartz, although seriously wounded
also grappled with Sbeebe, and helped
Summers force him to the floor, where
he was held until Nightwatchman
Phirman arrived. Rocky Cbenoweth,
the night bartender, telephoned to
Sheriff Kelly, who arrived as soon as
posi-ible and took Sheebe to jail, while
Dr. Hollister was called to attend
Shwartz. He found tbe wound to be
very serious, the ball which was fired
from a 44 caliber bull dog pis.ol having
passed just underneath tbe brain,
crushing the bones of tbe bead in its
passage.
Everybody who is acquainted with
the parties was surprised to leara of
the difficulty, as both were considered
peaceable citizens. Sheehehas been on
the road here for a number of years,
and was very popular with all who
knew him, while Shwartz was a peace
able man, who avoids rathtr than seeks
difficulties.
The preliminary examination of
Jack beehe for assult with adangerous
weapon upon tbe person on Michael
Shwartz was held in Justice Bayard's
office this Saturday The prisoner
waived examination owing to the
absence of bis attorney Judge Bennett
and his bonds were fixed at $1000.
It is pleasing to note that the Oregon
hoys at Manila bave distinguished
themselves whenever opportuuity bas
offered. They were the guard of
honor wben the Spanish surrendered,
and received tbe arms of the proud
Dons. And duriug tbe time after
peace was declared, bad tbe pleasure
of forcing tbe surrender ot the entire
American army iu baseball contests.
Roy Ballard writes to his father under
date of December 26th, that the Oregon
boys baa won eveiy game of ball so
far, their last game being with the
Minnesota team, in which they scored
9 to 4.
Speaking of the Christmaedlr.ner
which his company had. Roy says it
was first class, the bill of fare being
as follows: Two kinds of soup (chicken
and bee;), two kinds of meat (roast
Oeef and chicken), masned potatoes
and bio.vn gravy, apple, plum and
pumpkin p e. and two big freezers of
good American ice cream, ( thing
s-ldom seen in Manila.) Captain
Welle al-o treated the company to ten
gallons of punch on Christmas day,
wbicb was very acceptable
He also 'says Company L, to which
be is attached, has been assigned to
tbe First Battalion, under command
of Major Gintenbine who is a very
pleasant and considerate officer.

Good Work of tha Department Prevent
a Bab Blaze at Charlea HcbnUdt'e
liefrldence.
At aboutll a. m. yesterday tbe fire
bell once more warned tbe people tnat
tbe city was in danger. At tbe time
most of the church going people were
attending services, acid unfortunately
for tbe pastors of the respective con
gregations the collection had not beeu
taken up. Tbis did not prevent the
faithful from Immediately crowding
out to see if their property was in dan
ger and tbe ministers of the gospel
suffered in consequeuce
It was found that a fire bad
started in the roof of Charles Schmidt's
resideuce in the westend, and although
it was s .me time before a sufficient
number arrived to help the depart
ment out the Jackson's bad a stream
on from the hydrant bac of the
Sisters academy before tbe fire
hadgaiaed mjch headway. Shortly
afterwards the Columbia had their
hose attached to the engine from tbe
cistern on third street near the
Catholic church. Willing hands
worked diligently and in less than a
half hour the fire was out. Shortly
before tbe fire started one of tbe flues
burued out and it was thought at the
time, since there was some snow on the
roof, tbat there was no danger. Part
of the roof was bare as the sun had
thawed the thin covering of snow and
the sharks falling on tbe dry shingles
were soon fanned into a blaze.
As yet the damages has not been
fully estimated and it is thought tbat
two hundred dollars will cover the
same. Tbe fire was in such a position
that little damage was done by the
flames, the most resulting from the
water. Sunday teems to be a great
day for fires in The Dalles as the
majority of the alarms recently turned
in bave been on Sunday while the big
fire of last summer occurred on Suuday
niirht.
Many compliments have been poid
to George Wentworth on account of
the ceryice rendered both at the Co
lumbia Hotel fire and that of yester-
ay. Being a nrst class lineman and
j uHmber he goes In places where others
wouid fear to venture and at both of
these fires he was thoroughly snaked
with the icy cold water and he stands
it ail without a murmer until all dan
ger is past. Yesterday his nlothing was
frozen stiff wben the fire was put out
while icicles were banging from his
clothing in abundance so cold was tbe
j leather.
Discovered by a Woman.
Another great discovery has been
made, and that too, by a lady in
this country. "Disease fastened its
clutches upon her and for seven years
she withstood its severest tests, but
her vital organs were undermined and
death seemed imminent, for three
months she coughed incessantly, and
could not sleep. She finally discovered
away to recovery, by purchasing of
us a bottle of Dr. King's New Discov
ery for Consumption, and was so much
relif ved on taking first dose, that she
slept all night; and with -two bottles,
bas been absolutely cured, her name is
Mrs. Luther Lutz.' Thus writes W.
