Miss Gussie Lounsdale of Salem is rislting the family of her aunt, Mrs. J, , M.' Patterson, of this city. , Dr. Loomls, special agent for the land department and examiner of land offices, spent the day in the city. , It is reported that the 'snow which . fell on the high country beyond Bake- . oven yesterday and last night drifted In places o the depth of five and six feet. ;: Hugh; Glen is at present at Seaview, on Long Beach, superintending the construction of a beautiful cottage wttaM ha and fumllv will BnAnd tne summer months. . ". , , The. stage from Prineville,- which should have arrived at 5 this morning, ' did not get in UDtil 4 this evening. - The delay- was caused by a heavy storm between Deschutes and Cow Canyon. A. W.: Williams & Co. believe in the scriptural admonition of letting their light .shine, therefore they have put in two incandescent arc lights of 1200 candle power each one in the cloth ing and one in the shoe department. Today Mrs. D. W. Vause received a dispatch announcing the death of her brother, Leslie Knaggs,at Aninsworth, - B.C.. on the 13th. He was a eon ol TTrtrt ' f?An 'TTnaarfru. a.nri was Ymrn In The Dalles 36 years ago though be had been away, from here some 14 or 15 . years.' : Today Henry Whltmore began work on the vault for the First Nation . ai bank in the building formerly oc cupied by , Mays & Crowe into which the. bank will move about the first of May.. Mr. .Whltmore is an expert on vaults, and' when this one Is completed -. he says it will be absolutely fii e proof. There is a present some 1,600,000 pounds of wool stored in the ware house here, and in a short time the new crop, which will probably amount to 7,500,000 pounds, will begin arriv ing. This; will give buyers a large stock to select from, and should be an inducement for them to come here to make purchases. . W. H. Butts has taken rooms in Mlchell's .undertaking establishment, where.. he, can be seen by ' those who want real -estate or who have real estate, for sale. Remember that Dad ' considers it a pleasure to show prop erty. and that he always has a line on hand from which be can satisfy any body. :tj-t r ' '... Shortly after 10 o'clock last night rain began: falling and continued until aooutane middle oi tne forenoon, uo the hills all around town snow fell to a considerable depth. It is reported that, there! was' a foot 'and one-half of snow on the level at Kiqgsley while in places it is drifted and over two feet deep. This however, sounds somewhat like an exaggeration nd even if it is true it will quickly disappear with the warm weather,' and will be a ; weather," and will be a great benefit to the farmers since it will greatly increase the moisture. Extensive improvements are being made to the Baldwin restaurant, that when completed will make it a very attractive place. A new floor will be laid and covered with llnolium, a sky light and ' ventilator hu been con structed, and all the interior will be repainted. In addition tb these im- j provements the management exerts every effort to cater to the wants of patrons and always gives them first class meals. -' - ' Cary Ballard, the enterprising pro prietor of ".The Palace of Sweets" is having his place of business thoroughly Improved and remodeled. He has moved the soda fountain to the front of the store and built new counters and is having the entire building re painted. When the work Is finished the place will have an entirely differ ent appearance than it had when it was known as the Colombia Candy Factory, before the present proprietor took charge of the same. From Thursday's Daily. Joe Marsh came down from Wasco today. ' N. M. Ward, of White Salmon, is in the city. E. E. Lytle, president of the Co lumbia Southern, came in on the 3:15 train today. . Messrs. E. B. Duffy, D. A. Shelly Price $50.00. Price Complete jL. - 7 nn Ut u ills & 4 W ws MATER & French Block. and D. fcllery.three well known freight solicitors, are in the city. , :, The Salem Statesman has a strike on its hands, the compositors having re fused to work because a non-union foreman was employed. Hon. John Michell, the great sa chem of the order of Red Men, returned last evening from making an official visit to the tribe at Astoria. The Wool Exchange has recently undergone a change for the better, that makes it an attractive resort. being fitted up in elegant style and is lighted with gas. Yesterday F. H. Rowe left a mack idtosh lying on a pile of lumber back of his store, and when he went to look for it in the evening it was gone. , Ev- dently it had been picked up by some hobo. A. Sandrocsf has Jusl'conipleted a very neat and commodious delivery wagon for the American market, that is a beauty. It will be found a coo venlent 1 vehicle ' for delivering the packages to the many customers of this market. The proprietors of the Umatilla House have purchased the Math las property on First street next to the hotel, and are tearing the building down. The removal of the building will reduce their insurance, making their exposure less. Rev. G. Rushing .will conduct preaching services 'at the Christian chnreb tonight at the usual hour. Those who beard his sermon last even ing report that he Is a, preacher of rare ability. All are invited to at tend these meetings.; . " . Adrian Clapp, representing the Pa cific Bridge Co., is here to finish the company's contract with the city, in completing the water mains and put ting in certain gates that were left out when the new water system was con structed. " "Reuben Glue" was put on by the Noble company at the Vogt last night, and was quite well enjoyed by the large crowd In attendance. It is one of those brisk plays that keeps the audience in good humor throughout the entire evening, and produces many laughable features that are enjoyable. All the parts are very well taken and the specialties are first class, especially the singing of little Marie Noble. When the water system was put in it was expected that insurance rates would be reduced on all classes of property within the city limits, but as yet this has not been done, nor does there seem to be any likelihood of any reduction being made, in fact the insurance companies have announced that they will not give any reductions at present. This is certainly not just; for the risk is not nearly so great as it was before the; new water system was put in. ' The bottom has fairly dropped out of the wheat market, 47'cents oeing the best offer obtainable in Portland, and as wool is down, the outlook for ! farmers and sheep raisers Is none too bright, however, it is to be hoped better prices will prevail later in the season. In this event Eastern Oregon will be all right for It will certainly harvest a large crop of cereals the coming summar, for the ground was never in a better condition for produc ing a good crop. Nexip Saturday the American mar ket will receive 200 chickens from Kansas City, Mo., to supply Dallesltet with chicken dinners. This is an evi dence that the farmers in the vicinity of The Dalles are overlooking an im portant industry, and are . forcing money to be sent abroad that should be kept at home.' The Dalles will con sume on an average 300 chickens -a week the year round, and every one of them should be raised here. The storm that prevailed in the Southern part of the country Monday night and Tuesday was the severest that has ever been known in that section at this season of the year. From a foot to 18 inches of soow fell on tne nigh country south of the De schutes, ' and the wind drifted it in places to the depth of five and six feet, making travel almost impossible. As a result of the storm, some stock will die, and a few young lambs will be lost, but as lambing has not begun generally, the loss connot be heavy. . From Friday'! Daily.. .... Hon. J. W. Morton and W. H. Sears, of Hood River, are in city. C. H. King and wife, of Wyoming, are registered at the Umatilla, Bouse. Regular Saturday night u soiree by Smith Bros, at the Baldwin. Doors open at the usual hour. ' . 2d. Misses Rose and Mamie Buchler re turned last night from a visit oi two weeks at Cascade Locks. . . - John E. Latbrop, city editor of the Pendleton East Oregouiani spent a few hours in the city last evening. Two cars of sheep from Elgin, en route to Troutdale, were unloaded at the stock yards this morning to be fed. The trout fishing season will open on April 1st. Until that time anglers should keep their hooks out of the water. . . ., The attendance at the Vogt last night was good, and theater goers "Golden Eagle, $25.00. SEE US Before buying , Bicycles.

Rimmles RRntRff anil Rp.nalrRfr I BENTON were well pleased with the perform ance. The "Train . Wrecker", proved ft pleasing entertainment. . Hon. Charles Hilton arrived last evening from Portland, and will leave tomorrow for his stock ranch near Fossil. J. P. Mclnerny left this morning for Antelope to look after the business of the Brogan estate. Mr. Mclnerny was accompanied by Miss Maggie Brogan, who goes , to Antelope to visit the family of her uncle. On April 8th the farmers and stock- menvwill hold another meeting - at Dufur. . All those engaged in farming and stock raising are invited to attend and become members of the associa tion recently found. The Smith brothers stem to be circulating under a lucky star. A few days ago Jlm.won.the mandolin raffled by James Reese, and last night Ed. drew the bed room set given away by the Noble company The patron saint of - Ireland was re membered to today by all loyal Irish men, and the shamroek was seen on every hand. The only public ob servance of the day was services at the Catholic church this morning. Saturday afternoon at 2:30 the com pany will give their, usual Brand matinee, on which occasion ."Kath leen Mavourneen" an Irish comedy in four acts will be the playv prices are reduced on this occasion to children 15 and adults 25 cents. Hon. Geo. L. Hutchin, the gentle- man who is arranging to start a new morning paper in Portland, spent the day here'. Mr. Hutchin says he is re ceiving substantial encouragement from all parts of the' state, and in all probability the paper will begin with in a few months. . Fish dealers and anglers should bear in mind that it is. unlawful at this time of the year to catch, have in pos session, or offer for sale any species of trout, including salmon . trout, and that violation of the law protecting fish is liable to subject them to prose cution. One word of warning should be sufficient. James H. Blakeney is home from Portland, where he has been the past two months baying . his broken leg treated. Mr. Blakeney had ' his leg broke a last May, and the bone having failed to knit, be went to the hospital in Portland and had it operated on. He is not yet able to bear any weight on the injured limb, and will return to Portland next Monday for further treatment. . . . f The Northern Pacific is putting forth a commendable effort to induce home hunters from the eaft to come to Ore-. gon and Washington, and has made a rate of one-half .the ordinary ftre from St. Paul and Duluth to all points on the Northern Pacific line. This gives a rate of $25 to Portland,$24.50 to Walla Walla and 922.50 to Spokane. Thle new rate takes effect on the 21st. This morning Night Watchman Phirman ran in a hobo who had im bibed too freely in spirits, 'and on AArnhlncr tha fall no ftinnri him nnaaoss. ea ot two inaian ctuos. Mr. f air man did not know w liether the tourist had them for his own amusement or if he had stolen them, so he took the fellow , before Resorder Gates who administered the usual floe. The Rath bone Sisters may well con gratulate themselves upon the success of the dancing party they gave last night, for it was. unquestionably -one of the pleasantest social events of the seaoon. Dancing was begun about 9 o'clock and it was soon discovered that the main K. of P.. hall was not large enough to accomodate the large num ber of dancers, so the banquet hall was cleared, and dancing progressed in both rooms. It was the universal verdict that a pleasanter party was never given in the city. Bought Htoleo Property. This morning W. H. Moody chanced to pass the junk shop that is run in a room of the old Richmond Btable and noticed a large copper boiler that bad been stored under, the warehouse. On inquiring of Mr, Mathews, one of the proprietors of the junk shop, he was informed that it had been bought from a boy for two dollars, though Mathews could not mil who the boy was. The boiler, which oost $50 when new, was a neat pickup for the junk men had they been allowed to keep it, but as it is, it will probably cause the suspension of their business, for the indiscriminate buying of anything that a . boy may offer, for sale is en couraging youths to steal, and an in stitution that encourages 'thia wilt not be allowed, to thrive. Running a junk shop is legitimate- business if properly conducted,, but when the proprietors buy whatever is offered, and from, boya who may have stolen the articles they, offer for sale, it should be- soppreesed.

"THBS MASCOT in in A Weil I ttidml tat Poorly Fatronlsea Show. SelddVm is it the. good fortune of Dalles tbieatre goers to witness a bet ter show br one that could be more thoroughly enjoyed than was Auber's great ' production, the Mascot, which was playdgd at the Baldwin Tuesday night. This was the first opera seen in The Dalles in years and it was produced with such finKsb, life and color that everyone present was thoroughly de lighted from thje time the curtain rose until the ooncltnsioo of the last act. The unstinted applause from the audience, small aA it was, was certainly proof enough in fvor of the merits of the show. " ' t ' ; Maurice Hagemn enacted Lorenzo, XVII, in a mort hijppy manner. ' .The character fifoed Klpo like Aglove, aqd the manifestations Vof ' approval' that I greeted him were nuoherous and hearty, Eddie Smith,, also ttyd his part very artistically m the Part of RicO the t -. . .Will Rising, witV bis beautif ul tenor voice played well the role of Pipoo, the shepherd. . Miss -Aldrach in the role of Bettina also got her share of the applause, and the clever manner in wbich she acted tbje part of the Mascot, as well as her pleasing ap pearance on. the stage), .'caused '' her audienco to think that s'he merited all the applause she receive. Miss Alice James was perfectly at home in the part of Prfqc&iss Fiametta, while Harry Dultose did splendid I -work In the role of Sergeant arafan ta. I In fact each and everyone did as well as' was possible : to do . antj .when .we consider that they .were playiog al most to empty benches we are. ali the more surprised that they did so admirably.- 'f... . ' The people of . the . Dalle, j can no longer concienciously . express the de sire for a good show to. comj) to this city since they last evening overlooked one of the most elegant Entertain ments that has been In .. the; town for years. The Metropolitan, Oper- company came well recommended, jeyerything that could be done . to hold;' the show up in its true colors .was .idone. pj the press of tbls city, and since, the people overlooked an opportunity" to see a show of such a high order of merit and have no one to blame but themselves, if such shows refuse to play in The Dalles In future.

' r- . ' 8oaadd (hi A supposed, burglar struck some thing at D. S. Dufur's residence about 2 o'clock Wednesday morning that hi wasn't lookinir for. Saturday night an attempt was made by some one to en ter the house, and Mr. Dufur being away, Mrs Dufur had neglected to turn on the burglar alarm,' however the in truder was frightened away, but when the second attempt was made, the bur glar created such a commotion that he no doubt was glad to escape alive. Tbe house is supplied with a Western Burglar Alarm system and as soon as the front door knob was turned, it set an electric bell ringing that could be heard for a block. When the bell be gan ringing the burglar beat a hasty retreat, vanishing out the front gate and down the street as fast as beconld. Mr. ; Dufur is at a loss to know if the intruder was intent On robbery or just testing the burglar alarm, but if the latter he would request that he come at a more seasonable boor, sine Mr. )ufur Is went" fair" the alarm system ud will always be pleased to explain Us workings to those who will call during the day time at her . residence on Seventh street. ,' - : Claim.

It appears that Mr. Biddell's name was 'not sent to the i senate ibntll"Nfafc& 2d, a day and a half'before adjournment, and as there were' many other names having -precedence,-'the late " hour killed his nomination. The rules gov erning this case are as follows: ' A ''recess-appointment' is similar in all respects to the regular presiden tial appointment, only the appointee is not confirmed by the senate.- - The president acts in regard to him just as he- would were the senate in session Such an appointment holds good until tlie-adjournmentof the next succeeding session of congress,' when thn term ex pirei, but at that time the president is allowed to re-appoint his choice if he so. desires, 'so that in fact a recess ap pointment is equal in all ' respects, at least in matter of time, to the regular appointment and , confirmation. :'rAh instance of "recess appointment '"was w'ktnessed during President Cleve land's second term, wben he sent to the senate the name' of a man' he' had hosen for "a certain postotflce. ' The senate. refused to confirm the nominee and the president refused to make an other nomination. ' This blocked the power .of congress In the matter, and when the senate adjourned, President Cleveland made a "recess appoint-' ment," -naming the same -man, who held , the Office until the close of tbe next .session of congress. His term then expired, but the -president again came to his aid and reappointed him to the same' office, so that in the end -while , his term was shortened by the time . between ' the rejection of the nomination by the senate and adjourn ment of congrees;the rest of the tern) was exactly the same as if the senate had acted 'in compliance with the wish of President Cleveland. In the case: of -.The ' Dalles, when the presi dent- makes ' recess appointment, it will hold until the adjournment of the first- session iof he 56th congress, and if the appointee is not satisfactory to the senate, but backed by the presi dent, -be may De reappointed to serve to the-end of the 5tth 'congress, March 4,1901. . : ': ' ' " GKEKNHOKN" ISN'T OC1LTT. SotHtWlU Bear the Bnrdent of High BaJkrlea Cheerfully. ' The Greenhorn, March 11, 1899. So. Tims-MochtaQcikk: ' '. I read in your issue of the. 4th,J8t, en' editorial on the . raising of "the salary' of the school superintenpent. ind asking at ..whose suggestlpn.he.j. increase was maae. aonestiy, i ao not know,"and yet I am compelled to be lieve that the county assessor, at least, looks upon me as the person respon sible.' I deny now, and empbatically, and profanely -deny any. connection with' It, and, I. feel that.theass.esaor . ",i t ':-: - v . , - - . v - ' ;nouia nave at least given meacnanee to defend myself before laying, the burden of It 'upon me. However,! suppose I will ' have' to stand it, and I therefore desire to call your attention to the matter, that you may relieve the 'taxpayers of Wasco county from any fear of their taxes being increased on account of tbe raise. I received a polite little note from Sheriff "Kelly' yesterday telling me my 'taxes were due, and giving the amount. From this' ' I ' discovered that the assessor last spring charged the increase in the school superintendents salary to me, and thus take all chances of complaint on the part of the taxpayers out of the -matter. " The salary as it was, was perhaps light, and I have always felt that It should be raised, but still I bata to stand the whole raise myself. ' If I had property enough, I wouldn't mind ' the raise much,' but I have only a small i shack, just big enough for me to change my clothes in and' trim my, corns without being seen. The property is rented and the tax amounts to above' 35 per - cent of the income. I would suggest that the assessor take another whack at it and swipe the other 65 per cent.'' I have no ubo for money any how, and 'nobody but a ' blamed un civilized Filipino would kick against paying taxes anyway." What are wd citizen of this great country for if we can't borne Cheerfully up to the rack and - drop in bur share 'of the fodder? Haven't we forcibly ' adopted ' nine millions of tan-colored heathens to whom we offer,' at the point of the bayonet, the' blessings of freedom? And an't it our Christian duty to set them' a cheerful example in citizen ship And show them that the taxpayer' has bis reward in the' knowledge that it is more blessed to give than to receive? Notice . that ''dues are now' due?" If not. why not? f&tf v-A. Greenhorn.- - For Heir Protection. 'In view1 of the fact that there is an occasional robbery, or some Ones house Is broken into by burglars In Tne Dalles, it would be well to form a mtatiial nrotectlve' organization, one through the agency of wbioh criminals might be brought to justice. A plan' that would be practicable would be for the business men of the city to agree to pay a stipulated sum for the arrest and conviction of any one committing a depredation within the city, so' that a sufficient reward could be offered to induce detectives to ferrit out criminals and bring them to justice. It could be so arranged that in case of a burglary or highway rob bery a certain reward should be offered, and tbe expense thereof assessed ac cording to the amount each one sub scribed. Thus tbe expense would fall lightly upon allt and criminals know ing tbata price was put upon their capture, would be careful about com mitting depredations here. . ' , - ;KsmS Ren a Haad.' ' MINNEAPOLIS, March 16. United States Senator Kyle of South Dakota aald here today while en' route home that President McKloley has lately received private advice to. the effect that the Filipino, republic, was on its last legs. I The senator said be received information from sources very near the president, , and that-the latter anticipated the collapse of Agulnaldo's government and its complete eruption, by Otis within a few days. ASSEMBLY IS IGNORED 001 It Is No Longer a Factor In Cuban Affairs. 87 I New York, March 16. A dispatch to the Tribune from Havana says: The elimination of tbe so-called military-assembly at Cerro as a factor in the restoration of order and re-establishment of government in Cuba, seems now an established fact. Interest has practically ceased la- the 'fulml nations of Ibatextraordinary and irresponsible body, a mere revolutionary fungus, which seeks to perpetuate its growth under conditions which have long ago demonstrated Its. futility and...nse- lessoess. . . That General Brooke would continue to recognize General Gomez as the only responsible agent through whom the payment of arrears to the Cuban soldiers could be made has been a fore pone . conclusion for. several days. This morning the Cuban commander visited the governor-general's- head quarters by Invitation, and the two had a friendly talk oa the best means of carrying tbe distribution into effect.. The Meade, which carries the $3,000, . 000 allotment, is expected to arrive-here before the end of the week, Jand after j tne conference between tbe two gen erals was over it was announced that payment would be begun promptly un der the conditions completed in the original settlement with the Washing ton authorities. Tbis decision virtually disolves tbe military a'ssambly, for there ' is now no ' prospect that the commission appointed yesterday to visit the United States and appeal to the United States for authority to coo- tract a larger-loan, can reach the federal capital before the army receives tbe promised arrears and tbe process of di3bandment begins. WORK OF A MOB. Foar Degrees Were Killed and Four Wounded. Palmetto, Ga., March 16. Four dead' negroes lie in Johnsen's ware house.' ' ' Beside them, groaning- in agony, are five other of their race, all yidtims of an assault made by white men of tbe nelghborbooa at an early hour this morning. Tbe negroes, who Were shot ' down while begging for mercy.lie where tbey fell on the blood- soaked floor of the improvised jail, where they were held on charge of arson. The dead are Bud Cotton, Henry Bingham, Tip Hotson and Ed Brown. John Bigby is dying. The wounded are Clem Watt, abdo men; ueorge Taylor, tnign, is nam Brown, body: John Jamison, arm. The citizens are patrolling the' mala street of the town and dispersing an occasional groupe of muttering negroes "who seem " determined to get some form of revenge for the slaughter of four of their race. ! ' Tne 'mob . was composed of 150-men. Where they came from is a mystery so far as the people of the town know '. That some of the people of Palmetto, but - not the better class, were in the mob, goes without saying. 'Every face was masked, 'and when the' warehouse' was' -reached the- pnetat guardof five men was covered'' without a word. ' ' In a minute the mob was in the big warehouse " and the fusillade opened. The ' frightened negroes Set up yell after yell, begging for mercy, but it had jo effect on the mob. ' Wneh- its' 'work " was ' finished the masked' ' mob' turned and quickly dis appeared, as it bad come, on horse back, "f- : .',' . Two rlree of incendiary origin have occurred here thls'year, one on Feb ruary 23, and the other five days later. Fourteen business houses in all were destroyed. Nine negroes were arrest ed on suspioion and taken to Johnsen's warehouse to await a preliminary trial, which was to have taken, place this morning. Yesterday tbe leader of the gang, Bud Cotton, is said to have made a written confession of tbe guilt of himself and associates. He was ' the first to die in the mob's bloody work.

' ' The Race of the Age I What a race I The train was just pulling out of Eng-te. wood, puffing aud panting with its mighty efforts. As it slowly sained speed it came on a lot of tow headed children roosting on a tence, who shouted and waved as the cars came up, and then, as if with a com mon impulse, every child leaped to the ground and began a race with the train. The race was of short duration. As the machine left the panting little behind, a gray haired onlooker smiling: sadly remarked : " Young America all over. jNotaine: too swift for them to race against" " Yes, you couldn't find a fitter exemplification of the familiar saying, 'The child is the father of the man' than in that group of children racing against the train. It's but a preliminary heat of the great race their parents are engaged in. As a physician I realize as perhaps you do not," hefcoritinued, ''the erroneous change that fifty years have made in our national life. People point back to grandmothers' ana greatgranamotuers ana say T look At them t Compare them' with the women of to-day ! now nrraignt iney were, ana now strong, how hardy and how helpful they were, how heartily they ate' and how heartily they laughed.-- :. -: . "To-day, as men and women, millions of us do in earnest what those children did in play; weTe keyed up to the straining point all the time, and the nerves won't stand the daily strains and drains without protest. " . There is a ton of solid fact to -reflect on, suggested by the statement just Quoted. What are we going to do? This is the age of steam, the age of .electricity. - We must keep up in ' THE GREAT SACB. ' ' But how long can we keep up ? ' No longer. relatively, than the children kept up their race with the train. . What we . need is more brawn, more blood and bettor blood. Strength- of body depends on a pure and plentiful blood, current, for science has never advanced a fact beyond tbe state ment oi jxloscs- x nai i ne- mooa is rne Life." . Hut every generation of investiga tion shows' the statement to be true in i wider, deeper, and broader sense than was dreamed of in. the past. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery begins at the beginning with the blood. It cures prac tically a wide range of diseases because many forms of disease have their on gin in the blood. It is a , scientific compound based, not upon theory but upon the- prac tical, common sense proof that if yon purify, enrich, and vitalize the blood you overcome disease In any organ.' The "Golden Medical Discovery" heals dis ease in just this way. It begins first of all to strengthen the body through the blood, and every ounce of new blood and pure blood counts against disease.
