The weather of the past week has
been the most severe on stock of any
during this winter, and undoubtedly
great losses have resulted. Sheep
were already in poor condition from an
unusually bard winter, feed is scarce
and unobtainable, and when the worst
spell of the season is added to this
state of affairs, it necessarily produces
desperate conditions. What the out
come will be, no one dares say. An

L, Oregon volunteers in Manila, dat
ed February 13. At the date of writ
in? Mr. Fouts said all The Dalles
boys were well, and were enjoying

a blacksmith busy the year round.

In war when a town is
taken by storm there is
no use in merelv ca-ntur-
hig the outworks or lower
fortifications: As loner as
the enemy holds
the highest
stronghold the
town is not con
quered.
In warring
against disease
tnere is no use in
simply overcoming the
minor symptoms. There
are plenty of mere stimu
lating; preparations lareelv
composed of alcohol, which give a false
and temporary exhilaration followed by
relapse, but Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery is a true and radical remedy.
It contains no alcohol. It does not ine
briate or create a craving for intoxicating
stimulants. It does more than overcome
the outer symptoms of disease. It at
tacks it in its highest stronghold and
routs it absolutely and completely from
the very citadel of life. No honest
dealer will advise you to accept a substi
tute for "Golden Medical Discovery"
that he may make a little larger profit.
"I feel it my duty to write and tell you what
Dr. Pierce' medicines have done for me," says
Miss Emma Lee. of Willlford, Sharp Co., Ark.,
in a friendly communication to Dr. R. V. Pierce,
of Buffalo. N. Y. " I was suffering severely and
tried several doctors' remedies but received only
very little relief. I had bronchitis, catarrh,
and also womb disease. I took eight bottles of
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and
'Favorite Prescription.' As soon as I had taken
the first bottle I could see that the medicine
was helping me. I also used the local treatment
you suggested.
" My sister says your medicine did her
more good than anything she ever took. She
was down in bed and could not walk until
after she had ken your medicine, and now
ahe goes where ahe pleases and helps to do
her work." .
Every suffering man or woman should
write for a free copy of Dr. Pierce's great
thousand-page illustrated Common Sense
Medical' Adviser. - It will be sent paper
bound for the bare cost of mailing, 21

surrouuding the new school house to
grass and to put out shade trees. Mr.
Adams began on the work this morn

garb, coming from Ceder Mills, Ore
gon, are in the city soliciting pecuni

Geo. Pearl, the man who burned up
his wooden leg a few days sine and
afterwards attempted to drown himself
in the Columbia, was this morning
sent to Portland to be ca-ed for by

of Portland. The fellow's mind, is
evidently affected, but he is not suffi
cieutlv insane to be confined in the
asylum.
The painting and graining jn Mays
& Crowe's new store is generally ad
mired by all and is pronounced to be
the most perfect representation of oak
that is possible to make, in fact it can
h-trdlj be told from genuine oak. An
other good feature about it is that it
was done by a Dalles workman, D. W
Vause, who is beyond doubt one of the
b;ot paiuters on the coast.
E. L. Grimes, of Portland, is here
visiting bis son, C. M. Grimes and
family. Mr. Grimes is an old resident
of The Dalles, having located here
about 35 years ago, but for the past 9
years has resided in Portland.
Ho notes considerable change in The
Dalles since leaving here, that he says
indicates this is what he always con
sidered it, the best place in Eastern
Oregon.
Some lime since Charles Wise at

having offered a homestead filing, on a
portion of the city, for entry at the
local land office. His filing was re
jected by the register and receiver, and
an appeal was taken to the commis
sioner of the general land office. The
officers have just been notified by the
commissioners that their decision is
sustained and that the appeal is dis
missed. Scarcity of potatoes will soon be a
thing of the past. All the railroads
announce a special rate of 60 cents per
100 pounds on potatoes, to apply from
the "spud" sections of the Mississippi
river valley. As potatoes there cost
from 60 cents to 70 cents, even after the
freight is paid, the Eastern product
can be delivered in Portland consider
ably cheaper than the price now paid
for the local product. Telegram.
The banks of New York City have
decided to charge collection fees on all
out-of-town checks. The rate east of
the Mississippi will be 1-10 of 1 Der
cent, while we3t of the Mississippi it
will be i of 1 per cent. No collection
will be made for less than 10 cents.
This will drive manv small business
men to use the postal money orders,
as few firms in the east will be willing
to take small checks and pay the
charges.
There is on exhibition in the win
dow of the Press office an original
letter written by Abraham Lincoln to
William Barlow, of Barlow. It is
dated December 2, 1861, and acknowl
edges receiving from Senator Nes
mith an elegant bedspread sent to
Mrs. Lincoln by Mrs. Barlow. On
one corner of the relic is pasted a
clipping, evidently from the Oregon

ington. - About 9 o'clock this morning the
the roof of J. T. Peters & Co's. plan
ing mill was discovered to be on fire,
and an alarm was turned in that called
out the entire fire department except
the Mt. Hoods. However the fire was
put out with water from barrels on
top of the buildings before the firemen
reached the scene of the fire, though
the East End company got a stream

The business men of Albany are
stirred up over a report made by the
committee 00 ordinances of the city
council proposing to license all trades
and business lines. At present the
annual expenditures of the city exceed
the receipts by about $2,500. and the
city charter permits no highter rate of
tax levy than 8 mills, at which rate
property is now assessed. The council
has proposed a general license as a
means of raising revenue. The pro
posed law will be submitted to the city
council at its next meeting, on the
28th, and in the meantime, will be dis-
cused by the people.
Judge Moore, of Seattle, decreed
Saturday that the appropriation by the
city council of $1,500 to pay the ex
penses of a junketing trip east for
members of the city government was
illegal. The appropriation was made
last fall. Controller .Parry, upon the
advice of Corporation Counsel Hum
phrey, refused to sign the warrant for
the appropriation, claiming that the
council bad no right to make such an
appropriation. The officials made
their trip and paid their own expenses.
When they came back Councilman
James brought a test suit to compel
Controller Parry to sign the warrant
for his (Mr. James') proportionate
share of the expenses of the trip.

TOOK HIS OWM LIFE.
A Well Known .Portland Carpenter De
liberately Suicides.
The Portland Telegram on the 17th
gives the following account of a de
liberate suicide in that city:
James Mernaugb, a carpenter living
at 145 Stanton street, Albina, shot
and killed himself some time during
last night.
Despondency is supposed to have
beeu the motive. Two shots were
fired, one taking effect in the heart,
and the other in the brain. Either
must necessarily have resulted fatally
within a few seconds.
Living with Mernaugh was nis only
daughter, who kept house. Last night
Mernaugh, in preparation for his
terrible ded, persuaded the girl to go
and spend the night at the house of a
friend. Mernaugh then attended a
meeting of the Knights of Pythias
lodge, of which he was a member.
None of his brother knights noticed
anything extraordinary in bis actions
during the evening.
On his way home Mernaagh stopped
and bought a bottle of whisky, for
what purpose is not known. The bar
keeper who sold it to him Is the last
person who saw Mernaugh alive.
Upon returning home late this fore
noon, Miss Mernaugh was horrified to
find the dead body of her father lyine
on the bed in his room, weltering in
blood which had issued from gaping
wounds in the head and breast. The
girl gave the alarm at once, and
neighbors rushed to the scene, but
nothing could be done.

man. High mass was celebrated in
connection with the ceremony which
was very beautiful and impressive. At
its conclusion the bridal party and in
timate friends repaired to the home of
the bride's mother where a sumptous
repast was served, and other festivities
took place. The bride is one of our
most estimable and charming young
women who is universally liked, and
whose place in the community will
indeed be difficult to fill."
Mr. and Mrs, Bonn arrived here
Sunday, .and were given a hearty
reception by Mr. Bonn's many friends
all of whom are pleased to knots that
Joe has been so fortunate in securing
so amaible a lady for his wife. They

THE FIRE POLICE.
They Are Fully Organized and Equipped
for Business.
Last night "the fire-police held a
meeting and adopted a constitution
and by-laws, and organized for service
during fires. There are to be three
from each company, but as yet the
East End and Columbia companies
have named but two members each
for the patrol. The patrolmen al
ready named are:
Hook and Ladder Co. T. A. Ward,
J. S. Schenck, Victor Marden.
Mt. Hood Co. C. L. Phillips, J. F.
Moore, Hugh Glenn.
Jackson Engine Co. J. W. Fisher,
A. Sandrock, J. J. Maloney.

To Welcome the Editors.
Portland is making elaborate prep
eration for entertaining the members
of the National Editorial Association
during the session to be held in that
city next July, and it will be arranged
to give the pencil pushers the best
f ourtn 01 July ceieoration they ever
had. But it is hardly right to let Port
land monopolize them or furnish all
the entertainment. Other parts of the
state should take a hand in the
festivities, and there is no other point
better equipped for this than The
Dalles. A free excursion from Port
land to The Dalles would be magnifi
cent, and it would be money well spent
if The D&lles would arrange for such
an excursion either by boat or rail.

Mrs. Henry Brnns, wife of the well known

'I was troubled with sleeplessness, nervous

suffering untold misery for years. I used
various advertised remedies for female com

to the guests to bring them up by boat
and let them return by rail. This
could be accomplished by chartering
one of the D. P. & A N. boats, letting
it leave Portland early in the morning
so as to arrive here by noon, then give
the editors two or three hours here,
and let them return by train. Would
it not be a good plan for the Commer
cial Clnb to begin agitating such a
plan? We would get enough free
advertising out of the visit of the
editors to justify the outlay.

Prune Growers to Unite.
Forbes Graham, a prominent prune
grower of Santa Clara valley, Calif.,
is in Portland, to take preliminary
steps toward the organization of the
prune growers of Oregon and Wash
ington with those of California, for
the purposes of obtaining better prices
for the producer, and at the same time
enable the consumer to obtain them at
a lower rate than at present. Mr.
Graham is one of the directors of the
Pacific Coast Fruit Association. He
states that the prune growers associa
tion of Santa Clara valley has already
enabled them to obtain from H to 9
cents per pound, whiloOregon growers
have contented themselves with 3 to
5 "There is not that difference in
quality," he says, "and so the discrep
ancy is due to the organization of
men who are at the expense of produc
ing the fruit."
Beware of Ointments for Catarrh That
Contain Mercury.
as mercury will destroy the sense of smell and
completely derange the whole system when en
tering it through be mocus surfaces. Such ar
ticles should never be used except on prescrip
tions from reputable physicians, as the damage
they will do is ten fold to the good you can
possibly derive from them. Hall's Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., To
ledo, Ohio, contains no mercury, and is taken
internally, acting directly upon the blood and
mocus surfaces of th system. In buying Ball'
Catarrh Cure be sure to got the genuine. It is
taken iulernally, and made in Toledo. Ohio, by

A Cariosity From the Philippines.
Talk about your Manila souvenirs in

and nags, tbey are not "In it with a
curiosity from the islands which Mrs,
Robert Kelly is possessor of. It is
hardly a souvenir, but might more
properly ba called a dogenir, as it is a
small Philippine dog, about eight
inches long and half a? tall and wide.
The little fellow is covered with a
heavy coat of fur that would indicato
that he would be more at home
in Alaska than in the tropics, and
scarcely resembles a canine. Its
head and front feet are white while its
body is yellow, and it eyes are blue.
It was one of three that were brought
over from Malat by a gentleman who
sold it to Dr. Siddall, who in turn pre
sented it to Mrs. Kelly. Ths dog
really resembles some of the pictures
of Aguinaldo, and Mrs. Kelly has
named it after the Filipino chieftain.
