At about boon today Mrs. V. Rose
died at her home on Eighth and Union
streets in this city. The decersed was
about 50 years of age, and was a hard
warking honest lady. She leaves
husband and four children, three
girls and one boy, tbe youngest being
about seven years of ge. Her death
was caused by influenza she having
been sick for about two weeks. She
was a member of the Catholic church
and her funeral will probably be held
from St. Peters church Sunday after
noon.
An unusual amount of summer fal
lowing will be done in the Palouse
county this season. ' Two years ago
the farmers were not yet free from
their '83 debts, and were obliged to
sow every foot of ground possible.
Last spring the price of wheat was
high, and the season was singularly
favorable for a good crop, so again
every acre, foul or clean, was sown.
So far this season there is no special
inducement. to increase the acreage,
but on the contrary there is an imper
ative necessity to dense the land that
has been badly in need of fallowing for
several years past. The acreage in
that secton of the country, this season,
will be from 10 to 15 per cent less than
for the last two years.
We learn from Fred W. Wilson, who
returned this morning from Pendleton,
that tbe annual meeting of the Oregon
Woolgrowers was held in that town on
Wednesday the 8th. George A. Young
was re-elected president, Fred W. Wil
son secretary while D. M. French was
chosenjtreasurer for the ensulog year.
During tbe past year tbe wool-grower's
association has done much to benefit
the sheepmen, having brought tbe
matter Of the Cascade reserve to a
focus, placed a bounty on coyotes and
done much in drawing the wool,
growers together, as well as assisting
Captain Ormsby in learning their
needs and communicating more freely
with them. A large number of new
members joined at the last meeting. '
Last evening Nightwatcbman Pbir
man attempted to arrest a drunken,
disorderly character. The latter could
not see it that way and before the
worthy official could wink he received
a stunning blow in the face and for an
Instant he thought he had been kicked
by a mule, a second glance convinced
Mr. Phirman that his antagonist was
more like that animal's paternal
parent and he partially brought him
to his senses with a blow on the head
with his pistol. A scuffle followed and
ended in the nightwatchman's favor,
who called a wagon and transported
the bad man to jail. He gave bis
name as J. O'Leary and is a stranger
in town. He will now have a chance
to develop his pugilistic abilities in
the improvement of Union street.

The ladles Score Another Victory urer
the Sterner- Sex.
At a few moments past 8 o'clock last
evening, everything- being in read!
ness, ''the battle royal ' between the
ladies and gentlemen's teams opened
on tbe club alleys; -
Both teams had a look of determine
tion on their faces- although .the
ladies were slightly nervous the few
first frames, but after that braced up
and it was plain that the sterner sex
had their bands full, v
In comparing the scores of both
teams the ladles were allowed a handi
cap of 38 pins, they bowled so well,
however, they scarcely needed the
same, and won the three first games
with but little exertion on their part.
It should be remembered, however,
that two members of tbe gentlemen's
team, Messrs. Houghton and Baldwin,
were unable to play and probably this
bad something to do with their defeat
as their substitutes were not in prac
lice.
Tbe ladies won the first game by
22 pins, the second by 13, the third by
two and lost the last by 25 pins. They
beat their opponents three games and
had seventeen pins in advance so that
they were perfectly satisfied.
A beautiful boquet- was presented to
Mrs. Fred - Houghton, for making
the highest score, who presented the
same to tbe Commercial club.
The scores were as follows:
goers to some excellent performances
this week, and those who have not at
tended are missing a treat. The com
pany has its own band of eleven pieces,
who play each dav at noon and in the
evening on the street, and they ren
der splendid music, which has been
highly appreciated by our citizens.
The company including the members
of the band consist of 19 persons and
they are billed to play here one week.
"On Tuesday night they produced to
a full house the popular comedy, ''Our
Strategists," and were indeed well
received. The company contains
some excellent talent, and irom first
to last the audience was kept in a roar
of laughter. Besides tbe comedy
several entertaining specialties of a
high order of merit were introduced.
and each one ' of them elicited the
most hearty applause. The singing
and dancing was unusually meritor

A letter received by Mr. Baldwin to

It has been a long time since a like

It was impossible for them to secure

We sincerely hope that our town

HINT INDIANS SICK.
Unusual SurTeiins; at Bock Creek An Old
Chief DeaLc ' s.
Dr. Bill an Indian medicine-man of
the Tunc water tribe of Klickitats,
visited Goldendale Monday on his re
turn from the tribe's winter quarters
on Rock creek, east of . that city. He
reports that the Rock Creek Indians
have suffered more slcRnessthis winter
than ever before in their ; history, and
that the advent of civilization has car
ried in its train scores .( epidemics
unknown to the red men. of previous
years. Two of special. onention are
the mumps and scarlet fever. Chief
Yuc-a-lat, a peer of Chief Cani-poo,
was buried last Friday atiRbck Creek,
having died after .a. few .days' illness
with pneumonia. From Dr. Bill's re
port, it seems the late - c)iief resorted
to ihe old custom of the Indian sweat-
house and a pi u nee into Rock creek's
waters, which are ice cold this time
the year. The semi-civilized doctor
admits that as to tbe ills the white man
has brought them he is very ignorant,
and feels that an ' unaccountable
burden is now falling heavily upon his
people, that has doomed them to death
unlet zoc-a-iat was over tv years oi
age, and in his time had been a great
warrior. One time he was the owner
of many poo las, which with Indians as
well as white men in former times de
noted much wealth. Dr. Bill further
states that the 50 families of Indians
that have wintered about Turn water or
Celilo falls have- experienced good
health all winter, and he believes it is
from the fact there is no nearby white
settlement to expose them to tbe usual
winter contagions, which' have been
more frequent this winter than usual.

A F UK AS ANT EVENING.
pent at Mr. I. M. French's The Party
A Grand Success, i
The birthday party. at Mrs. D. M.
French's residence last evening was
quite a success socially and financially.
It was well attended and many who
were unable to go sent their congratu
lations for the benefit of the Good In
tent Society. . , -
The initial number of the program
was a piano auet oy tbe Misses iNicicei-
son, alter which Myrtle Micneii ren
dered a vocal solo, in place of the A.
L. P. S. quartet, which was unable to
appear, as one of their number, Mr.
Steele was suddenly-called away. Prof
fessor Landers followed with a vocal
solo after which Mrs. E. M. Wilson de
livered an interesting' talk' on birth
days. A vocal solo by Will Frank-
and another by Myrtle Mfchell wound
up the evening's program. ";
Refreshments were served and
everything imaginable done to make
it pleasant for those in - attendance,
and in consequence a general good
time was en joyed.
Atlhough tbe party was a social sac-
cess of the first order, it .was no less a
success financially, as there was $72 40
added to the fund in the treasury of
the Good intent society. 'i

The Noble Dramatio Company.
The Daily Courier Press of Dayton,
Washington, says of the Noble Dra
matio Company, which will play an
engagement at the Vogt in this city,
next week:
'Reuben Glue" as presented last
evening by the Noble Dramatio Co.
at the opera house, proved an excel
lent play, and was. tbe means of en
tertaining a large audience.
Kit D. Wilson, in the character of
Reuben Glue, made a bit. , As the in
ventive Yankee, always on band at the
right moment, he was the life of the
production and sustained . the part in
an excellent manner. Several of his
songs brought down the house.
W. P. Burt, as Kelber, theJGerman,
was also good, winning a round of ap
plause in his song "Rubberneck."
The play as a whole was well bal
anced. Grace Huff, in the prologue,
made a handsome Lady . Arlington,
while J. A. Wolfe proved himself an
actor of ability as Sir William
Arlington. William Paige played the
part of a villian as Ned Prowler in
the prologue, and Sam Pealer in
tbe play, to perfection. All tbe balance
of the characters were well sustained.
TheNoble Company has so far proven
itsself one of the best companies of the
kind'that has ever appeared in Dayton,
and rightly deserves liberal patronage.

Beware of Ointment, for Catarrh That

as mercury will destroy the sense of smell and
completely derange the whole system when en

they will do is ten fold to the good you can
possibly derive from them. Ball's Catarrh
