. ' The Metropolitan opera Co., which
will appear at the Baldwin Tuesday

the biz ' society event . of the
season. The accoustio ' properties

they have their own scenery the per
formance can be put on to the best
' ' possible advantage. .
We learn from Mr. SIgman who re
cently returned from Portland where

that the latter place is a poor market
.It was with difficulty that he disposed

A Washington dispatch to the Ore-
goaian, dated March 9, says ao aotion
has been taken looking to the appoint

In the city yesterday who left some
time during the night, and as they

they will be discovered and brought to
justice. ' . .- :

fruit men of that section and has no
complaint to make concerning the
prospects for this year's fruit crop.
He informs ns that the Hood River
people are beginning to find out - the
value of that section for raising apples
and is of the opinion that in a few
years, many who are giving almost
' their undivided attention to the culti
vation of strawberries will change
their berry patches into apple orchards
in which they will raise only prime
fruit and in this way reap greater prof
Its than they do at present.

Today a petition was filed with the
county court asking for the removal
of three children, Grace, .Katie and
Emma Waud, to the Boys and Girls
aid society. The first named two are
six and three years of age while the
other is a mere infant. It is alleged
that their father, Edward Waud, has
failed to take proper care of the little
ones, and that he is not a fit person to
have charge of the children. They
will be taken care of by the sheriff
until Monday when the case will be
looked into more fully and they will

home. Their mother died a few weeks

Secure seals at Blakely and Hough

lover of fine opera should overlook
this chance of seeing them.
Noble's superb military band turned
out at noon today and delighted our
townspeople with their splendid music
although their band consists of but
ten nieces they play splendidly as does
their orchestra which can be heard at
the opera house tonight.
Last Week Mr. Wm. Edmi9ton, an
old gentleman living near Blockhouse
in Klickitat county, was severely kick
ed by a young horse he was leading to
water. He was kicked in the chest
and for some time was unconscious
from the blow. He is coming out all
right however. '
Photographs of the Metropolitan
Opera Co., which opens at the Bald
win tomorrow evening are exhibited
at Blakeley & Houghton's. These
photographs would indicate thai, the
company is composed of highly cultred
people, and the press notices they
have reoeived bear out this supposition.
Mr. and Mrs. Bradley, of Hood
River made a pleasant call at the
Mountaineer office today. . They are
of the opinion tbat Hood River will be
an exceptionally lively little town this
summer. The remainder of the ma
chinery for the new mill is expected
at almost any time, as the spur to the
mill site is about completed so that it
can be unloaded and put in place with
little difficulty.
Saturday Kobert Mays junior ar
rived in the city from the Antelope
country with a band of 324 head of
stock cattle which he sold to Cox &
Pyle of Nebraska. Mos't of them were
cattle which Mr. Mays bought last fall
and wintered with the expectation of
selling at a good profit this spring and
although we do not know exactly what
he received for them he appears per
fectly satisfied with the deal.
Itiis strange . that the farmers of
Eastern Oregon cannot raise enough
chickens to supply the home markets,
and thus make it unnecessary to ship
them all the way from Kansas to The
Dalles. Saturday, James Carnaby and
Sinnott& Fish received a shipment
which were as fine as we have ever
seen, weighing dressed over three
pounds each which would sell for about
$6 per dozen. With such varieties of
fowl at 15 cents per pound farmers
could make a handsome profit right
here in Oregon and make it unneces-
saey for the consumers to send to Kan
sas for their chickens.
We learn from reliable sources that
a party of civil engineers are now at
work in the Satas canyon surveying a
route for a railroad line from North
Yakima to Goldendale, and thence on
to the Columbia river and Portland.
There are five or six men in the party
OUR BEARDED
LADY.
Designing srat, through alluring- and ctm
ningly worded advertisements, constantly
endeavor to work npon the feelings of sick
and ailing women by inviting them "to write
t a woman (!) and secure a woman's sym
athy." It is well to remember that the
oest sympathy is to had at home and not
from strangers, perhaps hundreds of miles
distant. The object of the sick is to get well,
and however precious sympathy may be, it
never yet cured a seriously afflicted woman.
While the sympathy of your milliner or
dressmaker might be appreciated and be
just as beneficial, if not more so, than sym
pathy from a stranger, yet it can not effect
your cure if yon are an ailing woman.
It is loudly proclaimed through the press
that "a woman can best understand a
woman's ailments," and on this ground sick
women are invited to " write to a woman "
and get the benefit of a woman's advice.
The sort of "understanding of her ailments'
wanted by a sick woman is a trained medi
cal understanding. If a woman has this
trained medical knowledge she understands
woman's ailments not as a woman, but as a
physician. If she is not a doctor she cannot
nnaerstana ine ailments at au, ana cannot
treat them success fully, because she lacks
the necessary training.
As far as known, there is no regularly
qualified woman physician connected with
any proprietary medicine especially de
signed for women no one, therefore quali
fied by learning and experience, to advise
on questions of disease and its cure.
It is certain that there is no one, man or
woman, connected with any "put-up"
medicine for women, excepting only Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription, who. like
Dr. Fierce, is a regular graduated and quali
fied physician, and who has, like him, de
voted more than thirty years to the snecial
study and treatment of diseases of women.
For more than thirty years Dr. K. V.
Pierce, a resrulariv graduated doctor, has
been chief consulting physician of the
Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, of
Buffalo. N. Y. On his staff are nearly a
score of regularly graduated, experienced,
skilled physicians, each of whom is a spec
ialist in his chosen class of diseases. Ev

and at last reports tbey were close up
to the head of the Satas. Goldendale
people are of lhe opinion that these
men .represent the Northern Pacific
railway company, who are looking for
a feasible route to Portland from the
interior. It look to an outside" that a
line over the country propsed would
be much better than to run from Wal
lula on down. The former proposi
tion runs through or adjacent to one
of the largest bodies of merchantable
timber in the northwest; and also
through a fine wheat country.
We take pleasure in noting the fact
that one of our Dalles boys Homer D.
Angell carried away the gold medal Id

legate oratical contest which took
place at McMinville Friday evening.
The colleges which were represented
In the debate were the Pacific College,
Albany College, the Oregon State
normal school, Willamette University,
McMinville College, The Consolidated
University, The Oregon Agricultural
College and the University of Oregon
which was represented by Homer
Angell, who won the medal with
Blood of McMinnville college ranking
second. Mr. Angel has the hearty
congragulations of his many Dalles
friends.

able time was had. The amusements

ments. C. C Bayard writes from Spokane

cellent reputation as , an able and
eloquent speaker, and we bespeak for
him a good hearing. He comes with a
view of locating with the Christian
church of this place.
A special meeting of the water com
missioners was held last evening for
the purpose of considering sealed bids
for the completion of a manhole and
other improvements around the valves
on Union street. Numerous bids
were made, but the most reasonable
being that of J. A. Bredahl who agreed
to do the required work for f 109, the
contract was awarded to him.
In the school election held at the
city recorders office yesterday, 85

Peters were close, the former receiving
44 votes while the latter received 41,
Mr. Farley being elected by a ma
jority of three votes over the other
candidate. -
-. The Metropolitan opera Company
which plays at the Baldwin Opera
house tonight comes with flattering
recommendations and will certainly
give a splendid performance. It is
often the case that our people com
plain that we so seldom have a first
class show and never an opera. To-
nignt everyone is offered an oppor
tunity to witness the kind of entertain
ment they desire and we hope that the
Metropolitan company will be greeted
by a crowded house.
In the account which our editor gave
yesterday of the eight hours spent at
the Cascade locks which was caused
by the slide of Sunday night, be over
looked one incident. Two of the party
went to the restaurant to get supper,
and as they sat down requested ..that
the waiter bring them some cold
chicken . The waiter was not a person
who could be bluffed out and pro
ceeded to fill the order. : After wait
ing a full hour our friends asked the
occasion of the delay and the pro
prietor replied tbat the chicken
was ready only that it had not yet had
sufficient time to cool and requested
them to be patient. We have failed
to learn whether they left then and
there,' or . waited longer for the fowl.
The editor can probably answer this.
, Card of Thanks.
I desire to express my sincere thanks
to Temple Lodge A. O. U. W. for the
prompt manner In wnicn they paid
the $2,000 insurance due me at the
death of my husoand. - - .-,

a MODEL STORE.
One of the Institutions That Show the
Greatness of The Dalles.
Mays & Crowe are moving into their
new building on the corner of Second
and Federal streets, and will soon
have their immense stock well dis
played in the new quarters.
The building is 100x100 feet
square, two stories high both floors
of which are used by the firm, that
gives them 20,000 square feet of floor
space, besides the balconies that ex
tend around the second floor a conven
ient distance from the ceiling, and a
basement 40x100 feet.
' The store is a model of neatness and
convenience, and is pronounced by. all
as one of the handsomest buildings on
the coast.
The first floor is divided into two
compartments that are connected by
sliding doors both at the front and
rear, and at tbe rear ia the office which
is raised some two feet above the main
floor and is encased in glass and sup
plied with modern furniture. The
west half of the first floor will be oc
cupied with the retail department in
shelf hardware, bicycles, stoves, guns,
tinware, etc. while the east half
will be used as a sample room for
buggies and hacks. The second floor
is to be used as a warehouse for the
wholesale department. It is reached
by a stair way in the rear and also by
an elevator operated by a water motor.
On the first floor the finishings are
most elegant. The 'celling is of pres
sed steel in appropriate figures, and
the shelvings are finished in oak.
Around either side is a balcony, about
seven .feet from the ceiling, that reach
the upper shelves. The building has a
glass front and is constructed of pres
sed brick on tbe north and west sides,
and is well lighted by a solid glass
front on the lower floor, while the up
per floor is lighted with commodious
windows. During the night the
building will be lighted by nine in
candescent arc lights of 2000 candle
power. It is supplied with steam heat
throughout, and it would seem that
tbe architect has not overlooked any
thing in its construction.
The firm of Mays & Crowe is one of
the best known in Eastern Oregon
and does not only a retail, but an ex
tensive wholesale business in hard
ware, stoves, sportsmen's supplies and
agricultural implements.
Some idea of the extent of their
business can be gained from the fact
that tbey have just received four car
loads of farm wagons at one shipment
and their other orders are in like pro
portion.
Discovered DT 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
a way to recovery, by purchasing of
us a bottle of Dr. King's New Discov
ery for Consumption, and was so much
relieved on taking first dose, that she
slept all night; and with two bottles,
has been absolutely cured, her name is
Mrs. Luther Lutz.' Thus writes W,
C. Hamlck& Co., of. Shelby, N. C,
Trial bottles free at Blakeley & Hough'
ton's drug stcre. Regular size 50c and
$1.00. Every bottle guaranteed.
Henry O'Flaherty Dead.
In General Otis' last weekly report
appears the name of Henry O,
O'Flaherty, a private in Co. L, Second
Oregon Volunteers, who during the
week died of sickness in Manila.
As he is one of tbe boys who left
with The Dalles company, many ex-
pressions of sorrow can be heard and
when those who did not know the
deceased feel that a friend has been
lost to them in the person of the young
soldier who lost his life while serving
in the army.
He was about 22 years of age and
left Tthe Dalles with our boys on the
21st of last April. - He was born in
Clark county, Washington, and was a
son of J. E. O'Flaherty, who lives at
Barbertown, Washington.
He was a favorite with the boys in
the company and much regret is ex'
pressed at his untimely death, as well
as 80row for his bereaved relations,
A I4G AMD FAITHFUL. SERVICE,
Mr. Adams Has Served Mine Yean as Dl.
rector.
Probably there is no one individual
in Tbe Dalles who has done more for
the public schools and the cause -of
education than S. B. Adams, who now
closes his nine years of continuous ser
vice in tbe capacity of schooi director.
It was largely through his efforts that
the Academy Park property, the hand
somest school grounds in Oregon,
whereon two magnificent brick build'
ings now stand, was secured by the
district, and to him more than any one
else is due the credit of erecting our
new high school building, which may
well be considered the pride of The
Dalles.
He has indeed been a faithful public
servant, and many will regret to know
tbat he has determined to no longer
serve the district as director, though
it would be an imposition upon Mr.
From Extreme Nervousness.
TIAT no one remedy can contain the
elements necessary to cure all diseas
es, is a fact well known to everyone.
Dr. Miles' System of Restorative Remedies
consists of seven distinctively different
preparations, each for its own purpose.
Mrs. 10. Bramley, 37 Henry St, St. Cath
erines, Ontario, writes: "For years I suf
fered from extreme nervousness and annoy
ing constipation, developing Into palpitation
and weakness of the heart. I was unable to
sleep, suffered much from headache, pain In
my left side, palpitation and a constant
feeling of weakness and prostration. I began
using Dr. Miles' Nervine, Heart Cure and
Nerve and Liver Fills and the Anti-Pain
Pills to relieve sadden paroxysms of pain
and headache. I soon felt, much improved
and the pains and aches and weariness left
me. I .then took Dr. Miles' Restorative
Tonic and am now restored to my former
good health."

"MS
Adams for the people to ask him to
serve them longer in an office to which
no salary is attached, for he has cer
tainly devoted enough of his time and
talent to them, and at this time be can
retire with the full knowledge that
what he has done for the cause of edu
cation is fully appreciated, and that he
has erected a monument to his memory
in the building up of our excellent
school syetemthat will last forever.
In future time's, when those who are
now children become men and women
they will look back over their school
days and kindly remember Mr. Adams
for the part he took in giving them an
opportunity to secure an education,
for as stated above, it is largely
through his efforts that Tbe Dalles
public schools take rank among the
best in the state. But to ask him to
devote more of his time now, that he
has approached an acre when all men
desire rest, would be asking too much,
and all wa can do is to hope tbat his
successor wili be fully as competent
and energetic as Mr. Adams has been
Glorions News
Comes from Dr. D. B. Cargile, of
Washita, I. T. He writes: "Four
bottles of Elecrlc Bitters has cured

Terrible sores would break out on her
head and face, and the best doctors
could give no help: but her cure is

Made the Host of It.
Yesterday afternoon some fifteen
Dallesitea were returning from Port
land on the Spokane Flyer, and on
reach Id e the Cascade Locks at 3:30
were greeted with the unpleasant In
formation that there was a slide on
tha road about five miles above, that
would probably delay the train for an
hour. This announcement' caused no
exuberance, but since they wore only
to wait an hour, they took the delay
complacently, and a little party con
slating of Mr. and Mrs. Fish, Mrs,
Sianott, Mrs. Thornbury, Mrs. Hud
son, Miss Martin, Judge Bradshaw
J. P. Mclnerny and the editor of this
paper formed themselves into a mutual
admiration society, and undertook
to amuse themselves as best they
could. An hour passed, and it was
learned ahat a locomotive was off the
track at the slide and a delay of some
hours might result. This announce
ment caused the aforesaid admiration
society to be merged into aconsolation
party, and while the rain poured down
outside the passengers inside the car
began feeling the pangs of hunger,
and a delegation from the party above
mentioned was sent out to forage
Fortunately they found Levan's store
open and secured sufficient edibles
with which to allay their hunger, and
the ever genial John Tranna supplied
them with hot coffee, so they made
the most of the eight hours they were
obliged to spend at the Locks while
the track was being cleared.
During tbe Interim Jud Fish was
elected chief of commissary, while
Judge Bradshaw performed the duties
of water carrier to supply the party
with refreshments, however, after
having administered their offices for
six hours they became negligent, and,
when at 11:10 o'clock the conductor
called "all aboard' it was a pleasant
sound, not only to . the consolation
society, but all on board.

evening at Mrs. Nelson's, by the Ep-

Creek Bridge and Is Df owned.
At about 2 o'clock yesterday after
noon Henr y McNuIty discovered the
body of a man laying in about 8 Inches
of water, under Mtil Ci-eVk, bridge at
apoiDt near the end of thra walk which
extends across the brUflge. Marshal
Lauer and Coroner Btts were sum
moned and when tWe reraa)n9 were
taken from the waier they wereound
to be those of Rodef iek McNeil a well
known and highly jfespected citizen of
The Dalles. j
The remains wefre taken to Craadtll
& Bureett's undertaking parlors and. a
thorough examination failed to bring
to light any mal'ks of violence. Two
small bruises on,) hlj head, neither one
belner serious enough to cause death,
were the only injuries and it wad evi
dent that the; had been caused by a
fall from the ' bridge. The remains
were laying, iith the head up stream,
in about eigft inches of water, and it
was evident that he had fallen from
the bridge, niost probably striking on
his back. Blng stunned by the fall
he was unable to get out of the stream
which was 1 quite deep at tbat place
where he (fell and he was drowned.
His body rriust have washed down a
distance of bout 30 feet.
About $30 in money was found in
his pocketp and there was no reason
to believe that his death wa anything
but purel an accident.
Mr. McJNell has worked as foreman
for Huglt Glenn for 18 years and was
an honest, upright and honorable man,
and although poor and haying a large
family d his own, de was never known
to turn. deaf ear to an appeal for as
sistance in a charitable cause, and was
never 'known to see a friend in need
without giving any assistance in bis
power-
Ab'out a year and one half ago his
wife &ied leaving a family of ten child
ren inly three of ' whom were old
enough to support themselves and the
excellent care that he has taken of
his faujily since that time showed that
be was not only a good neighbor but a
kind anl loving father. His family
consisted of four girls and six boys.
John McNeil the eldest aged 22 Is in
the regular army having seryed in the
army in i Cuba and is at present sta
tioned irA the east. Joseph McNeil

while Walter aged 18 is working In

An inauest was held over tbe re
mains today! and several parties test!
fled as to having seen tbe deceased at
various times .Saturday night. Wil
Ham Tillett stated that he had seen
Mr. McNeil at about eight minutes to
four vesterday morning, while Bert
Thurstojb was under the Impression
that he met him yesterday at about
11 o'clock- It appears that he Intended
going to Mo&ier on the 5 o'clock train
and wa going - toward the Umatilla
House Wfben Tiuet saw nim, ana it is
likely tttyt he walked out on the bridge
to pass trie time until the train arrived
and in some manner lost his balance
and fell po his death,
