' Today nineteen carloads of sheep
will be started east over the Columbia
Southerfc from Moroi' This ' makes
oversfxty cars that have been shipped
from that place during the last two
. weeks, and is a small share of the
business that was transacted in The
Dalle9- ,c3
Owing to the raise in the river it
became impossible at noon today to
' land the ferry at the accustomed place
near the Baldwin opera house. The
ferrymen are endeavoring to get Capt.
Donovan's scow out of the road at tbe
foot of Washington ...street where they
will land for the time being. ,
A meeting of the board? of fire dele-
gates will be held at the council cham
. be ra at 8 o'clock this evening .for the
. purpose of considering . tbe matter of

and purchasing a ' chemical engine.
These are matters of grave importance
and a full attendauee is expected' ,
The annual report of The Dalles
' public schools "for the year ending
May 26, 1899, shows that 941 pupils
were enrolled during the year, a gain
of 25 over thepf eviousyear. The
. average number belonging was 709, a
gain of 18; average daily attendance
670, again of 10; number , of cases of
tardiness 488, a decrease of 69.
The high wind ie causing railroad
men considerable trouble nlong the
line east of this place since it .blows
the sand on the .tracks in spite of the
sand boards and 'the untiring efforts
- of the section men to. clear the same.
This not only makes it difficult for
trains to get through; but. also quite
dangerous as it is likely to derail a
train. . - s, -.i - ,. ,.
' Considerable dissatisfaction ,says the
Moro Leader, is expressed by a great
' many of the sheepmen with regard to
the arrangement coiae to at the wool-
. growers' convention held irtThe Dalles
last week, as o. Jhe? allotment system
in the Cascade, forest reserve- Some
' of them- go as far as to say that they
will be compelled to sell their sheep
and go out 'of tbe business altogether.
.Yesterday Prof. Landers went to
Columbia district to assist la holding
art educational fneetlng for Supt Gil
bert,;who Is tn Portland, but owj,pg to
the fact thai' Miss-Brown teacher in
district No. 15, gave a closing day
, picnic, the educational meeting in
Columbia district was not held. Prof.
I. C. Brown, teacher in the latter dis-f
trict, dismissed his school at an early
hour in order that all could attend the
picnic, which was a very pleasant
. affair.
It is to ba hoped that those who at
tend the excursion of the Tyee Asso
ciation tomorrow will ie a little more
inclined to be law-abiding, than those
who have attended Jike -.excursions
heretofore. t)n the other Hand some
of our own people are not always on
thelr.good,bebavipr on such occasions
and'do'much towards making 'trouble.'
Aisufllcient force, $f special police wil
be appointed, however, to enforce law
and order, and all offenders may ex
pect to find themselves behind ' the
bars.-'- :-
.The raise in the Columbia at this
plaice a) nee yesterday was but 'slight.
The report" received 'from Pague this
inorniog. states that a, decided raise
will occur at "The Dalles during' the
pext fewdays.The river will come up
at the rate of one foot in- twenty-four
hoars and by Wednesday It "will stand
at thirty-three feet,' which will prevent
tbe boats passing through tbe locks
which will necessitate a transfer of
passengers and freight. Whether the
river will raise much higher than this
point is at present uncertain and de
pends entirely on the elements.
Yesterday District Attorney A,
Jayne went to Hood River to attend
the preliminary examination of Barry
Hansbury, who was tried id 'Justice
Prather's court under a charge of
larceny from a dwelling. It' appears
that someone broke into L. Clarke's
residence, on 18 mile island, and stole
..tools, household' goods and f other ar
ticles to the'amounT of about ' $200.
Part of tbe stolen articles were found
in Hansbury's possession and he has
1 so far failed to give a satisfactory Ex
planation as to where he got the same.
Judge T. D. Kent appeared in behalf
-of the defendant, -while District At
torney Jayne appealed for the state.
Hansbury. was bound over under $300
they will make their home In the.fq
ture. - v - - '
Messes. Brent and Frank Driver
have bought the flouring mill at Tygh
of F. S. Gordon. They took charge
of tbe property last Saturday.
.-) j. I John K. Stockney, the old man wno
was examined before Judge Mays and
adjudged insane, will be taken to Jthe
asylum in Salem this afternoon.
The Albany. Democrat announces
that W. D. Simonton, of that city, will
leave today for The Dalles to accept a
position in Pease & Mays' store.
' Tbe first potatoes of the season were
received , at tbe American market to
day." They were raised by Ed. Kramer
on .the bluff in the east end part of
town.
. George Young of Ridgway arrived
in the city this morning. Mr. Young
states that the weather there is much
like that in The Dalles being cold and
windy. I V ;
Today the Daut Jewelry & Optical
Co. moved into their new quarters
next door to the First National bank
Their store is as neat and attractive
a place as can be found anywhere in
Eastern Oregon.
W. N. Wiley came in today from An
telope and brings good reports from
the Trout Creek mines. He says there
is'stlll a large' number of prospectors
working In the mines and some splen
did rock is being taken oat.
Sunday's Oregonian says the en
gagement of Miss Mabel Ainsworth,
daughter of Mrs. George J. Ainsworth,
and Edwin Mays is announced. Mr.
Mays' many friends in The Dalles will
be pleased to read the announcement.
- A letter from Ned Wicks formerly
of this city, who is at present in Skag
uay Alaska, states that he intends re
turning home in' the' near future.
Whether he Intends to visit for a
short time . aDd return to Alaska or
remain 'in -Oregon we have failed to
learn.
Portland is at present making prepa
rations to welcome the Second Oregon
when they arrive in that city. '" In all
probability it will not be a great while
before the regiment' arrives and" It
wobld be well for the citizens of The
Dalles to make' preparations for wel
coming .our' boys on their- return,'
When they left, promises were made
for a grandreception on their return
and' if this is not attended to, the boys
will certainly feel disappointed.
t: Five -afreets, 'mostly on' charge of
being drunk and disorderly, were made
yesterday afternoon.' All the disor
derly characters were excursionists
from . Portland who had evidently
taken a bottle too much. Two dollars
and fifty cents and a pair of steel
knuckles were found on the person of
one' of those arrested and both were
appropriated to the city, while tbe
other four were ' turned loose with
out being fined as they were without
means to pay tbe Bame.
John Cottingbam a well known
character in Tbe Dalles can thank his
lucky stars that his name is not added
to the list of victims of tbe O. R. & N.
It appears that be was drinking con
siderably yesterday and was strolling
along tbe railroad track when tbe de
layed overland train pulled into tbe
city "last ""night - The'- engine - was
moving at a slow rate of speed when
tbe cow catcher struck Cottlngham
He was dragged some distance and bad
one arm and leg bruised, but was other
wise uninjured. ' '
' The river stood at 32.4 feet this
morning and . is still riaing at about
tbe same rate as it has bee n during tbe
last few days: Pague's report states
that on Wednesday it will reach 34
feet' but' from that time until Friday
.the raise will.be gradual after which
it will raise more rapidly. The pres
ent, cool., weather, preyaiies at the
headwaters of the Columbia and its
tributaries which will have a tendancy
to permit a rapid rise in tbe near
luture.? f -ill : , r
I Saturday' night a burglar. entered
tbe'realdence of Mr.. At C. Geiger In
this city and stole about $80.00 In
money which was in the pocket of Mr,
Geigers pants, two gold watches and
a suit of clothes. Tbe burglar entered
through a rear window from the back
porch and. evidently wenti-' boldly into
the room, where Mr. Getger was sleep
ing and helped himself to ; what, he
wanted. "He then 'entered an, ad
joining room and sorted over the con
tents of . Mr. Geiger's pockets and
purse leaving a bunch of keys, several
checks and a bunch ' of letters and
other things which were of no value
except to the owner. He then escaped
through the kitchen door and left no
trace whatever to lead to his identity.
The reports concerning the number
of tickets sold for tbe excursion given
by vthe Tyee Association yesterday
must have , been greatly, exagerated
since' there were not 'over seven hund
red'people on the train which arrived
at about 12:15 yesterday. It was In
deed a surprise to everyone to note
the: food behavior of the vast majority
bought in by judge Mays for the
county. .
Tbe businebs men of Roseburg have
taken steps to organize a board of
trade. D. S. K. Buick is chairman of
tbe temporary organization, and S. C.
Flint secretary. Permanent organiza
tion will be effected Thursday.
Both the Dalles City and Regulator
were able to pass through the locks to
day, though the water was up very
nearly to the point where operation of
the locks is impossible, it being 33.5
feet tere,20 feet at Umatilla 19.4 feet.at
Northport and 31 feet at Wenatchie.
Matthew Seattle, a young Puyallup
Indian, called upon Colonel C. P.
Ferry, Paris ezposition commissioner
for the state of Washington, at
Tacoma, and offered to get up a canoe
race at Porls next year, between crews
of Puget Sound Indians, and Chippe-
was or some other tribe of Eastern
forest Indians.
Benton county's delinquent tax-roll
will not reach $10,000. The prompt
payment of taxes is accounted for by
tbe fact that the enterprising and ac
commodating sheriff sent notices to
all taxpayers of the amount oi their
taxes and tbe time of payment. This
proved to be a great accommodation
to nonresidents.
Next Thursday evening Eugene D.
White, grand secretary of the Native
Sons of Oregon will be in tbe city, and
desires to meet every native Oregon
ian over 21 years of age at the K. of P.
hall at 8 o'clock, at which time Mr.
White will make a talk on the aims,
objects and intentions of the order.

been shipped from that placo this sea
son This morning John Little ship
ped out 6,000 bead of Antelope sheep
to Balfield, Montana They will oe
ranged there during the summer and
put on the Chicago market this fall.
There Is no question but June 15th,
Pioneer's day and Native Son's jubilee
day in Portland will witness the
greatest gathering that bas .ever as
sembled in that city. A fare of one
and one-fifth bas been made from The
Dalles to Portland and return for that
occasion, and it is expected that a
large number of pioneers and Oregon
ians will attend from this city.
; Messrs. J. F. Moore and John Gavin,
formerly city superintendent of
schools, have formed a copartnership
In tbe law practice, and have opened
offices In rooms 39 and 40, Chapman
block, over the land office. These
gentlemen are so well known in The
Dalles tbat they need no Introduction
to the people.. Both are favorably
known by almost everybody, hence we
bespeak for them a liberal clientage.
Senator Foster, of Washington,
has gone . to Eastern. .Washington
and Montana on a business , trip
In the ' latter state he will meet
Senator Fairbanks, of Indiana,
and party, and will probably return
with them. The conference to be held
between Senators Fairbanks and Fos
ter ond the lumbermen and coal mine
owners of Puget sound will ne to dis

view of the prospective agreement on
the subject if the American-Canadian

LAURA DONALDSON SUICIDES.
The Unfortunate Young Woman Bang
Herself In the Insane Aaylnm.
A telephone message was received
from Salem Sunday stating tbat
Laura Donaldson an inmate of the
insane asylum, who had been commit
ted from Tbe Dalles about a year ago
had committed suicide by hanging her
self on Saturday night.
No particulars were eiven and it is
supposed that she in some way secured
a rope or probably made one from the
clothing In her room with which she
committed the act.
Laura Donaldson was a resident of
Tbe Dalles for a number of years and
bad many friends and acquaintances
here who will be grieved to learn of
ber sad end.
She was born in the state of Missouri
April 7, 1858 and when five years old
moved to Illinois where she lived for a
number of years. She came west with
her family and bas lived in this city
since tbat time until she was com
mitted to the asylum.
She leaves but one relation in Ore
gon, a brother, Howard Donaldson
who resides at Hillsboro.

MRS. GIBONS DEAD.
' ". Governor Uecr's VUlt.
At about 5: 30 last Friday afternoon
word reached the city that Governor
T. T. Geei was coming to Tbe Dalles
on the D. P. & A. N. Co. steamer
Dalles City.
Although the news reached tbe city
at tbe eleventh hour, preparations
were at once begun to rece've him
The D. C. & A. C. band was called
together at the club and as soon as the
boat landed the governor was met at
the .boat by a number of prominent
citizens and taken in a carriage to the
Commercial club accompanied, by
Mayor Nolan, and Hon. Otis Patter
son. '"' 5 '., : 0
Several selections were rendered by
the band,- after which Major Nolan
appeared on the veranda and intro
duced the governor, who in his turn
delivered one of his characteristic
speeches, at the conclusion of which
three cheers were given to the high
executive, another selection played in"
bis. honor and after which the crowd
dispersed. During the evening Gov
ernor Geer was escorted around the
city by some of the prominent citizen's
and entertained by them until the 11:30
train arrived, when he continued his
trip eastward. '

in tne true Happen
ing in tne every
day life of every -day
people are materials
for. most thrilling
novels. There are
every day stories of
heroism, suffering
and the final tri
umph of good over
evil of happiness
finally crowning en
deavor. Here is a
case in point :
-In the county of Escambia in Alabama
is the little town of Flomaton and there
lives Mrs. Mollie Grimes. She was a
good wife and mother but several years
ago sne round ner neaitn slipping away
from her. She realized that this meant
the inevitable nervousness and irritability
that would surely, lose for her the affec
tion; of her children and husband, and
that as her health, declined discord and
misery would aprjear in her home. She
was filled with the loving motherly in-
akiuvk, uul iwj miscarriages in succession
almost broke her heart. She had almost
lost hope when the clouds rolled away
and' the light of health and happiness
reiurnea.
She tells her story in these words
" I was almost heart-broken to think I could
not raise any more children and had to suffer as
I did. I had lost two children by miscaxrMgcs
lose another when, in
August 1897, 1 learned of
ana began taking: Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Pre-
. scnption and took it un
til after baby was born
in November. With my
other children I had suf
fered everything- that
flesh could suffer but this
time I was in perfect
health and had a very
easy time. Iwasinlabor
only a short time. Ican-
not praise Dr. Pierce's
medicines enough for I
believe they certainly
.saved my baby's life and
mavbe mv own life as
well. 1 took the ' Favor- '
ite Prescription ' and also the ' Pleasant Pellets.'
The ' Pleasant Pellets ' act like a charm."
The - Esteemed Lady Passes Away Sud
denly at her Borne In This City
The people of this city were startled
Sunday to bear of the death of one of
our most esteemed towaswomen, Mrs.
R. T. Gibons, and the suddenness of
her passing away made it the more sad
and startling.
She attended church as was her usual
custom, yesterday morning, but before
the services were over-felt slightly
indisposed and started home. Shortly
alter 12 o'clock she began to grow
worse and Dr. Logan was summoned
but conld do nothing to save her life
and she passed away at about 1 o'clock,
She bas been troubled with rheu
inatism and ber physician was of the
opinion tbat her death was caused by
tbe same settling in her heart.
Matilda Frances Wixon.for that was
her maiden name.was born in Prince
ton, Illinois, March 8 1843. In 1856, or
when 'she "was but' little more than
thirteen years of age, she was married
to R. F. Gibbons and in company with
her husband came to Oregon in 1862.
She was the mother of five children
two of whom are still liyiog.George of
Sandy, Clackamas county, and Ralph
of tbia city." The only survivor of ber
family is one sister who lives in the
east. 1
During the time tbat Mrs. Gibons
has lived in :The Dalles she has. made
a host of friends who are grieved to
see a womau of such noble character
pass from our midst, and tbe heartfelt
sympathy of the entire -community is
extended to the bareaved husband and
sons. '
She wad a sincere christian, a kind
and devoted wife and mother and one
who merited the respect of all who
knew her.

question box as an aid to education,
allowing pupils to deposit questions,
they wisb answered, ia tbis box; and
at stated times answering them for
the general information of the school,

the pupils is a boy of brilliant parts;
so brilliant, in fact, that he seems
fated to develop into one of those
"wicked imps they call a poet," or.
still worse,' into a "dashed genius" of
no use to any one. This boy annoyed
the teacher by depositing all sort of
foolish questions in tbe box, such as
