As yet nothing definite has been done in tbe way of fixing the date on which the tournament will be held or what alleys will be used for the same, it is thought, however, that it will come off in Portland about April 20th. For a month past the children of tbe Episcopal Sunday school have been collecting pennies for their Easter contribution, to the foreign mission fund, and yesterday their contribution boxes were opened. When all the pennies were counted it was found that the total donation was 823 .88. When it is taken into consideration that there are less than 50 children belonging to tbe Sunday school, this is an ex ceptionally good donation for the young folks to make. ' A mac who gave his name as Mi chael Dunne was arrested Saturday charged with having stolen a qunatity of provisions from Mr. Snipes, res! dence below town. He had his pre liminery examination in the justices court and was bound over to appear before the grand jury.'

A ' striking example of this failing was noticed in the sheriff's of fice the other day. ' Sheriff Kelly received by mail a check in payment of taxes, that had been endorsed by three different parties, though it was sot signed by the party who drew it. Evidently the drawer had been too ab sent minded to affiix his name to the check before delivering it to the first party, and the others 'through whose hands it had passed had over looked the omission. - A SERriON TOR TEN.

Mr. Ned Nelson, the celebrated Irish Come dian and Mimic, of 577 Royden Street, Camden, N.

I had tried everything possible to cure it till last week while playingat B.

Constipation is promptly cured by Dr Pierce's Pleasant telle t. Ail medicine dealers, . . . , . same off at tbe first joint. Dr. Hollis ter was called to attend to the injured member and hopes to save it. The Christian church, of this city, bas extended a call to Rev. G. Rushing, of La Grande, to be pastor of their church, and the call has been accepted by him. Mr. Rushing comes to our city with the reputation of having more than ordinary ability as a speak er and a thorough pastor, and we think the church quite fortunate in securing his services. His work will commence here in about a month. Last evening a number of friends of Miss Annie Davenport tendered her a party at tbe residence of Mr. and Mrs. Lee Bunch. The occasion was Miss Davenport's 17th birthday, and the party was a complete surprise. The evening until midnight was pleasantly spent in singing, playing games and other amusements. Yesterday afternoon I. H. Taffe ar rived iu the city from Celilo and left on the 5:30 train accompanied by Constable Hill to arrest the Indian murderer who Mr. Taffe bad succeeded in locating at the camp of some other Indians on the Deschutes .about four miles from Celilo. Mr. Hill returned with his man this morning and placed him behind tbe bars. Last night Mr. Phirman arrested a party who had been acting strangely around town for several- days and placed him in tbe city jail. Today Judge Maya looked into the matter supposing that it would be necersary to commit tbe man to tbe asylum. . He learned that his name was J. H. RichJ ardson.and that until a few days ago he was an occupant of the poor house. He came in from the poor farm with Mr. Cushing and after they arrived in town he gave him the slip and was not seen again until today. He appears to be quite rational and will be sent back to tbe poor house. The Indian arrested by Constable Hill for the murder committed near Celilo was brought before Justice Bayard for examination this afternoon. He seemed to be very unconcerned and was of the opinion that a half breed named Van Pelt did the killing as he left for the Interior Sunday. He gave his name as Jack and stated that the murdered lad's name wa& Stalomito Pino. Charlie Phillips acted as in terpreter, but it was a hard matter to get much information out of "Jack the Ripper," as he is now called. His hearing was unfinished at the time of going to press, and it looks as if It would be a hard matter to convict him. Easter at the Catholic Church. Easter services at the Catholic church were well attended. As early as 7 o'clock . Sunday morning the church wis crowded with people who had assembled there at that early hour to commemorate the Res urrection. Promptly at 7 o'clock St. Mary's Orchestra, assisted by a choir of children, pealed forth the glad tidings of the Eister morn, in the beautiful hymn "411eluia." The altais were decorated with potted plants, cut flowers and palms which, with numer ous lighted tapers, presented a beauti ful scene. . During this service twenty three children, about twelve years of age, received their first com munion. Following are the names of the communicants: Maggie McNeil, Katie Nolan, - Alice Hilgen, Katie Sklbbe, Francis Williams, Bertha Williams, Mary Connor, Susie Brogan, Josie Mohr, Rose Mary Bulley, Bertha Kreft, Lucille Perry, Mary Howe, Johnie Brogan, , Herman Geollner, Earnest Furlong, George Bunch, Tol- bert Shannon, Hugh Frazier, George Fitzge-ald, Willie Seufert, Aloysious Pashek and Mike Bohen.' Rev. Brons geest delivered an appropriate sermon and a short, but well worded address to tbe children. Immediately after this mass enrollment of the twenty-three communicants took place. High mass at 10:30 and Vespers at 7:30 were also unusually well attended. - OUB fUEIGHBOKlNG TOWNS. Dutar and Hood River are Ask timing Metropolitan Proportions. Tbe two enterprising little towns of Dufur and Hood River are certainly enjoying a steady and substantial growth that bespeaks for them better times in tbe future and a population that will entitle them to be known as cities. Two years ago Messrs. W. L. Vander pool and T. H. Johnstoo bought a tract of land adjacent to Dufur and laid out thirty-four blocks of two hundred feet square and placed them on the market. So rapid has been the sale of this prop erty that they have found it necessary to plat another addition of 34 blocks to be known as the fifth addition to Dufur. In the sale of their property they have made it a rule to never dia pose of any ground for speculative pur poses, only selling to puch persons as would agree to build homes on the land, hence it will be seen that Dufur has enjoyed a substantial growth of late. And in addition to this growth io the resident portion of the town, Johnston Bros., the leading merchants of Dufur.are arranging to erect a brick store building 80x85 feet, one story, with a basement. It will be ' a thoroughly modern building, supplied with every convenience to make it up to date. C. J. Crandali, ot this city, has prepared the plans and specifica tions for the new store, and work iH begin on it during the present month. It is proposed to make the brick right at Dufur, so tbe new structure will be a home production. The growth of Hood River has al.so been quite substantial of past years, but it bas been nothing to what may be exoeced the coming season, for the business of that place will be greatly stimulated by the building of the large saw mill. Taking into consideration the brilliant future of the tewn, Mattie A. Oiler bas filed with tbe county clerk a map of Gem City addition, containing 45 lots lying on the east side of the river and reaching down nearly to the Col lumbia. The principal streets of this addition are named Dewey and Samp son, which is evidence of the patriotism of tbe owner. It is a sightly plot of ground, and wili no doubt sell well on the market, for Hood River has a future before it. sometime Saturday night or early yes terday morning near the spot where the remains were found, and after tbe killing tbe unfortunate victim was dragged into tbe chicken house so as to conceal thecrime until the murderer could escape. The information received is very meagre the name of the murdered man being unknown to Mr. Taffe, who in formed Sheriff Kelly of thecrime. It is thought by all tbe Celilo Indians that the murder was committed by a crippled Indian whose name our In formant could not give. This is the same Indian who was suspected of having killed Indian Jim last winter, and it is thought that he has left for the Warm Springs reservation. A search is beingmade In the vicinity of Celilo and the Indian police on the re servation will be notified immediately to keep a sharp lookout for him and if he goes there he will certainly be cap tured. There will be no difficulty in identi fying him as he was run over by a train several years ago and crippled so that be is forced to use crutches, and al though some trouble may be ex perienced in locating him, there is no doubt that he will be brought to jus tice if be proves to be the right man. and the chain of circumstances seems to be getting stronger against him all the time. WATER COMMISSION MEETING. Salaries o, Superintendent and Helper Kc duce,i.

The funeral of Mrs. Emma Wood was held from the M. E. church Sunday afternoon and there are but few in stances in the city's history where a funeral was more largely attended by sorrowing friends than was this one. Every available inch of space in the large building was filled and there were, many who wished to listen to the services who were unable to find standing room. Mr. Warner, of this city and Dr. H K. Hines, of Portland delivered appropriate funeral sermons concerning the influence of such a well spent life as that of the deceased, and throughout paid to the departed well merited tribute. uuring tne services tbe cbotr sang "One Sweetly Solemn Thought" and Thy Will Be Done"while the services at the church were concluded by the beautiful selection "While Thou Art Near."
