Fings were floating today in honor of Dewey's victory and were noticeable over most of the store-and hotels, also over numerous residences and all the public buildings except the land of fice. Since the land office hire is one of the best paid on the coast and does an extensive business, the feesrunniug up to the maximum of $6,000 every year, it would seem that it ought to afford a Sag to float on . occasions like the present the first an ni versa -y of the brilliant victory of o-ir new navy. Charles U'Rn, one of the promi nent sbeepraisers of the southern part of the county, is in the city today and says things in the vicinity of Rtdgeway, where be liyes, are quite prosperous.

' The seven lodges of 3ons of Herman in Portland, are arranging to give an excursion to The Dalle-- on May 21st. Ihisis purely a German order, and comprises many of toe best citizens of Portland.

Messrs. Pat Fgan and James Con nolly, from Graoe, Wheeler county, are in tbe city They report a very backward spring in that section and a considerable loss of stock, though as a rule stock raisers have not lost enough to cripple their business.

Mr Garretson has been rewarded for his painstaking researches and careful study by being graduated from the college wiih the degree of Doctor of Optics. The diploma was issued Feb ruary 17, 1899, and has just been re celved. Mr. Garretson now feels that he is fully capable of practicing the profession of optician, since he has mastered the course of study Outlined by tbis well known college, and it certainly should recommend him to those afflicted with defective vision. TWO 1 115TAK.C3. There are two mis takes that people with weak lungs are liable to make ; and both are about equally bad: One is to not give atten tion quick ly enough to the little coughs and bronchial troubles which so rapidly un dermine the delicate lung tissue and plunge von into consumption almost before you are aware of it; the other is when the trouble is at last discovered and fully realixed to give up nope too soon. Begin with these bronchial and throat ailments the instant they appear; never wait till to-morrow. The right remedy taken now may save months of severe ill ness. On the other hand if the illness has already come upon you; and you find your self weakened, wasted and discouraged, do not lose hope. There is a medicine that will certainly restore you to health and strength. ' My boy was in a very bad way when I com menced to give him Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery," writes J. W. Price, Esq., of Ozark, Monroe Co., Ohio, in a recent letter to Dr. R. V. Pierce of Buffalo. N. y. ' The doctors claimed he had consumption and we doctored with them until he was past walking-. After using five bot tles of the Discovery ' he is now all -ight. It has been ten months since he stopped taking your medicine and he is still in good health. We are very thankifl to you for saving our soa." Hundreds of similar eases are described in one chapter of Or. Pierce's great thou-sand-page illustrated book The People's Common Sense Medical Adviser which will be sent free for the bare cost of mailing, 21 one-cent stamps. It is a veritable family library in one volume; the fruit of Dr. Pierce's life-long experience with the se verest types of obstinate chronic diseases. TST to". pUto S ; SvSopV frw f tfwp. AFTKK ISLAND TKiOE. The Columbia Southern Keochiog; Into the Interior. The Prineville Review, commenting on tbe report that he Columbia South ern will build to Antelope this season, says: "We understand that it is the in tention to complete tbe road to within 8 or 10 miles of Antelope this summer. There is no doubt but what the O. R. & N. is behind the Columbia Southern.. They are certainly friendly in regard to the interchange of traffic rates. The principal reason no doubt, for the O. R. & N. in launching this enterprise, is their dislike in reference to Tbe Dalles people in putting on tbe Regu lator line of steamers from The Dalles to Portland, thereby lessening their profits in the passenger and freight lines. This line of steamers has been very annoying to the O R. & N. peo ple and they now have a chance to get eyen with Tbe Dalles. This -proposed road will tap the country largely tributary to Tbe Dalles and the trade from this section has been worth thousands of dollars to Tbe Dalles people. Terminal facilities will un doubtedly be provided at tbe terminus of tbe road so that tbey can handle the immense amount of traffic that will pass over their line. - "Our people are getting to think that better times are in store for them and that we will not always be isolated from "our shipping point. Whether the proposed line will ever reach Prineville, is not worrying us but little. If we can secure terminal facil ities within 60 or 75 miles without having to pay excessive tolls, we have accomplished something to our advan tage; then we will pursue the even tenor of our way and wait for some thing else to turn up. Our stock in terests, our wool industry and our mining industry cannot always be overlooked. Ou- mines are proving that they will bean immense -.actor in future years, and if the mining regions in the different portions of Central Oregon are not tapped by branch railroads you can put us down as a bad proGt." Here is something for The D-i'les to think about. Tbe people of Crook county want an outlet for their pro duce. Tboy have been at tbe dia ad vantage of hauling their products from 100 to 209 miles by wagon, and they know the advantages of quicker and cheaper mcan of transportation. . In the past they have ben a source of great profit to The Dalles, and tbey bave a kindly feeling toward this place, bnt they wiil noi. discommode themselves to bring us favors. Prob ably, however, we could retain their patronage were we to offer them transportation facilities better than can be offered by tbe Columbia Southern. It is hijh time for Tbe Da'les to again begin agitating the question of a road up the Deschutes TOO SLOW ON FOOT. Jailor Fitzgerald Mad a Lively Chase A f ter a Fleeing Prisoner. Sunday morning Jailor John Fitzgerald had a lively chase afte" Mike Dunn, a man who is confined 'u the county jtil awaiting tbe action of the grand jury on a charge of larceny, but Mr. Fitzgerald proved the swiftest of the two and caugbt his man though he did not get a fair start. When Mr. Fitzgerald went to tbe jail in tbe morning be found Indian Jack up and around, and told him to build a Are, but Jack insisted that there was no wood in tbe jail, so he' stepped inside to see what had become of tho wood be bad left there Saturday night. Just as he passed the first cell Dunn darted out of it and through tbe jail door, out of tbe sheriff's office and into the street. Mr. Fitzgerald bad to close tbe jail door before he could pursue tbe fleeing prisoner, therefore reached the street just in time to see bis man turn into the alley leading west from Union street. Mr. Fitzgerald got uo a motion that would bave made a, professional sprinter envious, and managed to keep in sight of the fellow, wbo went to the end of the alley cear tbe Tborobury property, the." turned north into Second street, coming back to tbe Michelbacb building, then turned out on Union street until he came to tbe alley back of the Columbia hotel. In to the alley he went like the wind, and kept on his flight until he appeared on Court street and was met by Sid Kelly wbo stopped him long enough for Mr, Fitzgerald to catch up. - Dunn,, bow- ever, was about ready to give up the race, while Mr. Fitzgerald was only getting in good shape for a long run. after having chased his man six blocks. Dunn was taken back to jail, and it is not probable that he will see tbe out side of prison walls until he is taken into court for trial. Water t ommissloners Meetii-g. lbe Dalles water commission met in regular session at tbe recorder's office last Saturday evening, there being present T. J.

The names of 44 ladies were signed to the roll of membership, and there is every indication that the order will become a permanency. In Memory of Maggie Keys. Tha following lines were written by Emma B. French, and dedicated to the memory of Maggie Keys, who died recently at the home of her parents, in Mayville. You, lying out there, with that pale band of sleepers? Your busv bands folded, your active feet still? Who bring me this tale are but idle deceivers; I do not believe tbem, I cannot nor will! So lately we .spoke, and no message of warning Had over your.spirit its dark shadow fluog; Did you drop to tbe earth in the glad sunny morning. Like an arrow-struck bird with its song scarce begun? Nay, nay! for not such lives as yours are a target, For the skillful aDd merciless archer named deatb! He aims, dos he not, where tbe aged limbs falter, Or the weak infant gasps out bis fluttering breath? Not you, with your young life so ar dently glowing, Not you, could have tempted the arrows dread flight! Bright spirit of truth with rare kind ness o'er flowing, Not you could have vanished in mystery's might! Notyou! Ah my heart in sad prophecy falters. Reminded bow death from his station so dark. Still loves, as he aims at our heart's fairest alters. To strike where there flashes a glit tering mark. So you, like a bird with its clear voice uproaring. Dropped swiftly and silently down to the sod. And we dare not rebel, for we see by tbe arrow It wa aimed by Death's angel, the archer of God. Mew Jewelry Firm. Prof. P. G. Daut, the well known optician and jeweler bas formed a part nership with S. D. Stoufer, tbe East End jeweler, and the firm will 'be known as tho Daut Optical & Jewelry Co. Thev have leased the room next to tbe new First National bank ouild ing opposite Mays & Crowe's where they will be open for business about May 10th. They propose to fit tbe place up elegantly and make of it one of tbe mo6t attractive jewelry stores in tbe state. Tbe stock tbey will carry will be second to none in Eastern Oregon, as it is their purpose to carry a line of optical goods and jewelry equal to any to be foun j in the large cities. The Dalles is to be congratulated up on tbe advent of tbis new Arm as it is a mark of enterprise to have such a store as tbey will open. The fittings of tbe new establishment will be all first class, and no expense will be spared in making the place both convenient and attractive. Reserve your orders until the arrival of their new stock. a28d&w. Thomas Welch Killed.

Thus far, tbe mem bership secured consists only of farm ers and grain producers, but it is hoped that the wool men and sheep breeders will come into the association, and add producers of wool to the list. The movement began some time ago, and suddenly developed into a plan of considerable comprehensiveness, with an association that shall not only have pleasant headquarters In this city, bi't in them bave receded every half hour telegraphic reports of tbe world's mar kets, and also keep on hand all tbe principal trade journals and market reviews of accepted reliability. The following are the statements of tbe objects aimed at: "We tbe undersigned producers of the county of Umatilla and state of Oregon, do by our signatures hereby agree to unite ourselves in a non-political body for the purpose of providing for ourselves protection against tho trusts that have been formed and which dictate to the producers the prices of tbe commodities which we produce; and to further provide our selves with a place to meet and trans act business and receive telegraphic market reports of the world; and to place! ourselves in direct cammunica- tion with the consumers of the world; and to unite ourselves in one grand body and to promote harmony and work for the general welfare of tbe community at large, and for the pro ducer." The association will in no manner touch the mercantile portion of tbe business of tbe community, but will exist solely for the purpose of enabling the producers of wheat, wool and live stock to keep more closely la touch with the markets of the world, and to more intelligently handle them. It will be the particular tenet of the association that there shall be no poli tics in the conduct of the affairs, and tho objects as set forth in the state ment above quoted will absolutely govern the officers and members throughout tbe life of the association It Is less than . ten days since the effort began to form the association, and already there are on tbe lists of prospective members- 158 farmers, wheat grower), and among them so on of tbe most prominent and solidest of tbe county. East Oregonisn. MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE). A Prosperous Young Farmer at Haines Drops uut of Sight. The rural neighborhood of tbe little village of Haines, in Powder valley, was considerably stirred up the fore part of the week by what seemed to be a very mysterious disappearance of a prominent young farmer, Lafe Favor ite, residing about two miles west of Haines, says tbe Baker City Democrat. On Tuesday afternoon last Mr. Favorite kissed his youbg wife, to whom he was wedded only a few months ago, and started across field an'i meadow In the direction of Haines. Before going be informed his wife that he was going to make a land sale to Davis Wilcox, the merchant, and would, also, attend a meeting of tbe Odd Fellows' lodge that evening and If be was late returning home for her not to be alarmed. ' Mr. Favorite did not go to Haines, neither did he attend lodge. ' Where be went no one seemed to know. His continued absence alarmea bis wife and on Wednesday she notified ber relatives and neighbors and a search ing party went out to look for him. Word was sent to Haines and a num ber of the citizens prepared to make a diligent investigation. They first called on , the brothers of the missing man and according to the state ment of a Haines citizen to a Democrat reporter yesterday, tbey were inform ed tbat Mr. Favorite bad made it known to bis brothers that he was dissatisfied with some things and i a tended leaving the country. Notwith standing this statement of the missing man's brothers,' however, there are those wbo believe tbat the man has been foully dealt with. Mr. Favorite was sole administrator of his father's estate, owned consider able property in bis own name and for bim to leave the country with bis affairs in an unsettled condition seems to be out of all reason Mr. Favorite's young wife, to whom be seemed to be greatly attached, is greatly alarmed over the disappearance of her husband and, it is sail, is of the opinion that barm has befallen him He was a member of the I. O. O. F., Workmen and Woodmen lodges and was well thought of by his lodge brothers,' who from the 'first bave been anxious for bis sa'ety and bave inter ested themselves in unravelling the mystery surrounding his strange dis appearance.
