' From Wednesday's Dally.
W. W. Cook, of Ridgeway, is a guest
at the Umatilla House.
.Justice George Prather. of Hood
River spent last night in the city,
Jawes De Moss of De Moss Springs
is enjoying the good things at the
Umatilla House.
J. C. Egbert of Ffteen-mlle who is
well known In the city is reported
seriously ill at his home.
Pat McNeil the accommodating bell
boy of the Umatilla House is confined

. Homer Angel returned last evening
from the University of Eugene where
he has been attending school for tne
past year.
F. M. Warren, of Warrenton, is in

is one of the original owners of the
original townslte of the-booming little
town of Warrenton.
The candidates who will be named
at the mass meeting this evening are
mayor, city treasurer, five councllmen
and four water .commissioners. The
meeting will be called to order at 8
o'clock In the circuit court room.
Miss Grace E. Smith, whose home is
at Monmouth, but who has been
teaching in the La Grande public
school, arrived on yesterday's train
and is the guest of Rev. and Mrs. G.
Rushing.
The river is almost on a standstill
today having risen only one-half inch
between 8 o'clock this morning and
noon. Everything indicates that it
will stand at the present height until
Sunday when it will once more begin
to come up.
Charles M. Cartwrigbt arrived in
the city yesterday evening from a
trip to bis ranch at Hay creek in Crook
county. Mr. Cartwrigbt states that
he has never seen stock in better shape
or more promising hay and grain
crops than are found throughout
Eastern Oregon this summer.
Up to noon today no wool sales were
reported. Quite a number of buyers
are in the city at present and seem
unusually eager to buy and with the
price ranging between eleven and
fourteen cents it does not seem likely
that the producers will hold for higher
figures and it Is not likely that they
will gain much by so doing.
Most of the gold-mining boats on
the river adjacent to Ontario, Oregon,
have suspended operations on account
of high water. The same cause will
soon suspend for the present almost
all mining work on the various bars
along Suake river. The water will be j
higher this year, it is predicted by
mining men, than it has been for !
many years before. j
The cool weather seems to keep the
salmon from starting up the Columbia
and the only fishermen who are at
present making heavy catches are
those located around the mouth of the
river, and the canneries in t oat section
have more fish offered than they can
handle. ' Our local fisherman are not
despairing, howerever, as there' ap
pears to be fish in abundance outside

in and they will then be able to put
up their usual seasons pack.
The Marion county ballrt-fraud
cases are at an end. When the circuit
court convened Monday morning the
cases of the state of Oregon against P.
H. D'Arcy and others were called on
the deckel, and district attorney S. L.
Hayden announced that be would to
day file a motion to dismiss the cases,
stating in his motion his reason for
taking that course. At 1 o'clock, Dis
trict Attorney Hayden filed bis motion,
stating therein that be had no other
evidence than that introduced in the
trial in February, and as the court bad
held the evidence Insufficient, he would
not undertake to try another. The
court dismissed the cases.
drained. ' The same performance is
being repeated aod we are safe in
saying that there are plenty left to
supply the demands. Last night
fifteen carloads were shipped by Irving
of Nebraska, two carloads to Montana
by Saunders, of Salt Lake, and one to.
Portland, all of which amounted to
little in comparison to the enormous
herds which left The Dalles for the
east last week. Nor is this the only
place where Eastern Oregon cattle are
shipped from since they are going out
ov the thousands from stations all
along the railroad east of here.
At 9 o'clock this morning the river
stood at 37.8 feet above the low water
mark having raised 1 8 feet since
yesterday. Pague predicts a cease in
the raise tonight while tomorrow it
will remain almost stationary. A
slight fail will occur on Friday and
Saturday while on Sunday it will be
gin to raise once more. Warmer
temperature is predicted and it is
likely that the raise beginning Sunday
will lead to the high water mark for
this year. If it continues to raise as
gradually as it has during the past few
weeks, however, there will be little
danger of any goods being destroyed
even if it dos get Into -basements or
even into stores as the merchants will
haye abundant time to move.
A battle royal occurred on the rail
road track near the O. R. & N.depot last
night. It appears that Scots Cathcart
was crossing the track when he was
met by an unknown man, who after
wards proved to be I. J. Drlpps, who
attacked him with a pair of brass
koucKles. Drlpps was evidently mis
taken in his man for in spite of the
fact that he was better provided than
Cathcart he was soon overcome and
his knuckles were in the possession of
bis adversary. Cathcart was badly cut
about the face by the blows received
and according to appearances Drlpps
was handled rougher still, Night
watchman Phlrman arrested Dripps,
' but as Cathcart failed to appear
against him be was turned loose. ' It is
thought that Dripps mistook Cathcai t
for someone else against whom he had
a grudge.
Those who have in charge the prep
aration of plans for the reception of
the volunteers cannot be accused of
having cold feec says yesterday's
Telegram. They are losing no time.
Saturday the general executive com
mittee named General C. F. Beebe,
Major Dan J. Moore, George Baker
and Captain Wells to act as sub-com
mittee which met at the Portland
yesterday forenoon and talaed over
plans. They decieed : it would be
an excellent plan to call a meet
ing today, at the Marquam theater,
and invite delegates from all
the lodges, orders and organizations
that desire to assist, to be present and
help formulate a plan by which all
can work without conflicting with one
another. It is desired to give every
order an "opportunity to help, but un
less some general plan is adopted, there
is apt to be much energy ne edlessly
wasted.
It is a question in the minds of many
as to when the Nevada, California and
Oregon railrord which is already built
some twelve miles north of Aimee,
California will eud. ' In speaking of
the matter the Lake county examiner
says: . "It is predicted by some, who
believe they are in position to know,
that this line will pass on through the
South Fork feeding grounds, to a point
in Modoc county, five miles east of
Alturas, where a terminal point will
be made to await a connecting line
from ' The Dalles, Or. From this we
are to infer that our city may yet be
the terminus of this railroad line.
. Without doubt mere cattl6 will be
shippad out of Oregon during the
month of June this year than any year
on record. Enormous herds were
shipped east last year and many were
of the opinion that Oregon was being

premium and accrued interest, in
terest payable at the delivery of the
bonds.
Todav Marshal Lauer is having the
top of the cistern on Second an
Court street removed and a new one
put on in its place. This is a needed
improvement as it has stood for about
fourteen years and the timbers are
getting rotten and dangerous for
teams to pass over In place of the
wood cross pieces railroad iron will be
used so that the covering will last for
a lifetime without otner improve
ments than new planks.
M. Morris, who runs A. M. Kelsay's
ranch near this city, recently dis
covered a bee tree with a large amount
of .excellent honey. H? succeeded In
securing enough bees from the tree
to supply two large hives. He is quiet
elated with his find and If he has good
luck with the bees will be supplied
with an abundance of honey. That
taken from the tree is of fine quality
but of a darker hue than is usually
found In market. This however does
not detract from Its excellence, as
taste rather than color counts.
Tuesday evening Hugh Frazler's
dog committed another serious dep
redation by attacking Earnest Half Dap
the carrier of the Oregooian, when
the youngster was passing in front of
the European House. While the boy
is not severely injured still he carries
an ugly wound in his left thigh, as a
result of the animals attack.' The
dog is not a safe animal to have
around town and Mr. Frazier has de
cided to send him to the country.
This is not his first offense of the kind
and it will certainly be a good rid
dance.
On next Sunday the 18th inst. the
Hood River baseball team will play a
return game with the Dalles ball play
ers. Hood Kiver has an excellent
team as was demonstrated . by
the game played on the Hood
River diamond a few weeks ago
io which our boys suffered defeat.
Circumstances were against our team.
however, as the diamond was not in a
good condition, and they were unac
customed to the same, and it is thought
they will make a better showing in
the next contest. Endeavors are being
made to have the team in better trim
than on the last occasion and if the
Hood River men are not in excellent
shape they may expect a hard fight, if
not defeat.

The mill will start in a few days. It is
said to be the best-built mill in Ore
gon.
There is an immense travel on the
railroad both ways, trains being loaded

About 3 o'clock this afternoon Mr.
De Hart's barn on East Eighth street
was destroyed by fire. The fire was
not discovered until It was beyond
control, and when the fire department
arrived nothing could be done except
to prevent its spreading. The South
End Co. got first water
On board the train going east yes
terday were a number of discharged
soldiers, who had gone with their
regiments to the Presidio and had
been given the choice of going to the
Philippines or returning to their
homes, and chose the latter, not de
siring to risk their lives in the tropics.
An immense crop of strawberries is
being haryessed in Hood River valley
at present, the last few days of warm
weather having caused them to ripen
rapidly, and 'from three to four cars
of berries are being shipped away
each day. The principal shipments
are Into Montana, though some cars

Yesterday County School Super! n
tendant C. L. Gilbert met with a
painful and serious accident. He
was on his way to visit the Cheno
weth school and when about half a
mile this side of his destination the
wheel of the vehicle struck a rock and
threw him to the ground. He lit on
his back and was so seriously injured
that he was unable to move from where
he fell. The accident happened about
1 o'clock and he layed alongside of the
road until about four when someone
passing found him and notified those
at the school house near by of his
condition and Mr. Gilbert was sent to
town when a physician was called. It
was found that he sustained severe
bruises on the back and hips, but will
in all probability be out in a short
time.
At each meeting of those who take
part in the ladles minstrels more as
surance is given that the performance
will be one of the most successful of
the kind that has ever been produced
by the local talent. There "ill be
fifty performers taking part and the
saying, that every performer is an
artist, cannot be doubted for one
moment. Perfect harmony exists be
tween all concerned, and for this
reason it is hard to see how sucbv a
large aggregation of talented young
women would make anything short
of a success, and furnish entertainment
as well provoke mirth galore. This
unexcelled performance, the parallel
of which we have never before had the
pleasure of witnessing, will be put on
for two nights at the Vogt opera bouse
on Wednesday and Thursday, the 21st
and 22d inst. See large bills.
About fifty lovers of music gathered
in the K. of P. -hall last evening to
hear the talented young violinist, Mr.
Elmore Rice give his recital and there
was not a single one present that was
not charmed with the young man's
playing as be rendered selections from
such composers as Grirg. Rubenstein,
Schubert, Romeoyi, Mendelssohn,
Ernst, Wieniawski and others. He
also played such productions as the
Swannee River and the Old Kentucky
Home with such sweetness and ex
pression that all present sat spell
bound and in wonderment as to how
anyone could produce tones so clear,
soft aod perfect on any instrument.
He was assisted by Professor Birgfeld,
who added to the entertainment by
his beautiful accompanyments. Should
Mr. Rice give another musicale in
this city at any time in the future he
can rest assured that his entertainment
will be much better attended than was
that of last evening.
The preliminary examination of
Frank Collins, charged with the lar-
cency of four horses from Willis
Hendrix, was in progress before
Justice Bayard thit afternoon. Dis
trict Attorney A. A. Jayne conducted
the prosecution while Collins defended
himself. Collins was bound over to
the grand jury.
Tt is said the ore taken from the
Silver King mine, in the Trout Creek
district, is giving returns of from $1,-
400 to $1,500 to the ton, the rock being
taken from a shaft that is down only
18 feet below the surface. This mine
is located only 21 miles from the claims
covered by the Gold & Silver Mining
Mining Co. recently incorporated.
Harry Cook, of Ridgeway, one of
the progressive theep raisers of the
southern part of the county, is in the
city. Mr. Cook does not speak in the
best of terms of the roads leading
south from The Dalles. ' He says they
are full of rock, and suggests if The
Dalles wants to retain the. trade from
the section south of here it must pro
vide better roads and keep them in
repair.
Samuel L. Simpson, the gifted Ore
gon poet, is no more. He died in the
Good Samaritan hospital, Portland,
last Wednesday evening. Simpson
was a brilliant man, a man of genius,
and while his ability has probably not
been appreciated during his lifetime,
he has left a monument that will last
forever. His poem "Beautiful Wil
lamette" alone is sufficient to give him
first rank in the literary world.
Where Will We Spend Oar Summer
Vacation?
This is the time of year to think
about it, but before you decide, write
for an elaborate illustrated pamphlet
showing numerous photo engraved
views' of the many attractions at the
seashore and en route, and advantages
of the Columbia river beaches as
reached by the Astoria and Columbia
River railroad. Three hours and
thirty . minutes from union depot,
Portland, to your beach hotel in a
magnificent parlor car without change
or transfer is a convenience and luxury
few resorts can offer. Such is the in
itial attraction of this favorite route.

There are a lot of little boys at Hood
River who are doing that place a very
great injury, and tearing down the
reputation of the Hood River straw
berry that has taken years to build up.
When a passenger train stops there
the young rascals pass among the
passengers selling berries, the boxes
of which are especially prepared for
the occasion. The top layer is of the
finest kind of berries, while under
neath are little scrawny things that
are unnt to eat. fasseagers taice
these boxes to be samples of the Hood
Rlyer berry, and advertise the fact
from one end of the road to the other
that the berry growers of that section
are swindlers. The action of these
youthful pirates is not sanctioned by
the ciMzens of Hood River, but unless
they put a stop to this dishonest
practice their berries will get a black
eye all over the country, for people
will not submit to being thus swindled
and not complain.
State Normal School.
The state normal school at Mon
mouth announces a new department,
that of manuel training, in addition to
the departments of last year. It has
also added to its training departaent
an ungraded school, to give practice

The .training department is now
perhaps the most complete in the
United States. A new building offers
increased facilit'es for work, and the
next year promises to be the best the
school has known. The catalogue
shows a marked gain in attendance for
the present year. The advertisement
appears in this issue.

Frank- Collins attempt to Break
Kecord In Bona Stealing.
One of the boldest horse thieves
captured in this county for some time
was taken in by Sheriff Kelly last
night. The guilty party was Frank
Collins xho was employed by Willis
Hendricks to take care of his farm and
stock on Tygh Ridge, while Mr. Hen
dricks went to Portland to dispose of
some work horses.
A few days ago Collins appeared in
town with a team and as they were fine
animals had no trouble in disposing of
them selling one to Louis Porter and
the other to Mr. Murchie.
. Emboldened by his success he went
to the ranch and took another team
which he brought in and offered for
sale.
Yesterday Mr Hendrick's brother
arrived in the city and finding put
that the two horses had been disposed
of immediately telephoned to their
owner in Portland and learned that
Collins had no authority to sell the
same. A warrant was sworn out for
the man:s arrest and he was located In
the Skibbe hotel and placed under ar
rest. ' Upon searching him - Sheriff
Kelly learned that he carried a large
Smith & Wesson revolver and when
he attempted to disarm him he met
with a stubborn resistence. Collins
claimed that he was up from Portland
for a short stay and intended return
ing today.
After he was identified as the right
man be made acother attempt to
escape but was unsuccessful and was
placed in jail where he remains await
ing his preliminary examination.
Today Sheriff Kelly discovered Mr
Hendrick's saddle and bridle which
the culprit had sold to H. L. Kuck.
Collins will be arranged before the
justice this afternoon and the time of
his hearing set at sometime tomorrow
or whenever Mr. Hendricks arrives in
the city from Portland.
The evidence against him is strong
and there is little doubt that he will
serve a term behind the bars, and his
actions indicate that he is most de
serving of a few years in the pen!

has always been honorable honest
and very successful and there is little
duubt that he will be equally capable
in erring for the city's affairs as he
has for his own. He was also the
originator of the sinking fund and the
prime leader io the movement to have
$6,000 placed in that fund to pay the
city's debt.
J. C. Crandall is a man who has
proven himself a trustworthy and re
liable official during the time that he
has held the position of city treasurer,
and his being nominated to succeed
himself is most satisfactory to every
one and that he will be re-elected in
the face of any opposition that may
spring up is certain.
A better choice than J. F. Moore
for water commissioner would be hard
to make, as he, like Mr. Crandall has
proveo himself to be a faithful public
officer when in the land office, and is a
man who has always worked earnestly
for the community at large. With
such men in the field it is not likely
any other candidates will enter the
race.

CHARLES STEGMAN DEAD.
The Toonf Han Passes Away ait a.
Early Hoar This Morning .
Charles Stegman. who was fatally
injured in a runaway accident near
the home of Mr. Crawford, about
seyen miles from the ferry landing,
on Monday night, died at Mr. Craw
ford's home at an early hour this
morning.
It appears that the deceased in
company with his fathers hired men
came to The Dalles with wool on
Monday and was returning home when
the accident occurred.
One of the men was driving the first
wagon while young Stegman was
driving another team close behind.
A sack of salt fell from the first wagon
and Stegman's team cook fright and
run out of the road into a rock break
throwing the young man from 'the
seat, under tbe wagon. The heavy
vehicle passed over bis body at the
chest and dislocated his left elbow.
In the fall he received a severe scalp
wound and death was in all probabili
ty caused by severe internal injuries
in the chest and abdomen.
The unfortunate young man was a

gates, all of whom were enthusiastic
in the cause of tbe organization,
evidencing a degree of patriotism that
was certainly commendable. The
order was instituted less than a year
ago, and the fact that there are now
more than 1100 names on its roster,
shows what interest native Oregonians
are taking In it. At this session tbe

THE MASS MEETING.
H. L. Hack, J. V. Crandall and JT. F.
Moore Named for Mayor, City
Treasurer and Water Com
missioner. A great many legal voters gathered
at tbe mass meeting .Wednesday
evening for the purpose of naming
candidates for mayor, city treasurer
and water commissioner at large.
John Gavin was chosen chairman
while H. H. lilddell acted as secretary
for the meeting.
The first in order was the nomina
of mayor. Frank Menefee named H.
L. Kuck, and as there were no other
names mentioned a ballot was cast and
he was unanimously chosen.
The next in order was the nomina
tion of a city treasurer. J. C. Cran
dall, the present incumbent, was
named by T.J. Seufertand as no other
nominations were made, he, like Mr.
Kuck, was the unanimous choice. J.
F. Moore was nominated as water com
missioner a large after which it was
agreed that the voters of tbe different
wards meet on Friday evening at 8
o'clock to nominate councilmen and
water commissioners.
In the naming of Henry L. Kuck an
excellent choice was made. Mr. Kuck
has served in the capacity of council
man for the past four years and has
proven during this time "the right
man in the right place." In fact he
ha j been a leader in tbe council and will
certainly give excellent satisfaction as
mayor. In his business dealings be
Miss Hazel Blumauer, scored the hit
of the evening, as tbe charming little
people walked in true ragtime to the
air of the "Georgia Campmeeting."
Vocal solos by Miss Ella Hoberg, Mrs..
Max Shlllock and H. W. Hogue, and a'
whistling solo by Miss Gertrude Lach
man, were rendered in a thoroughly
enjoyable manner, and all received
encores. Tbe First Regiment band
filled ) tbe place of the orchestra, and
played popular airs.
One of tbe most interesting features
of the occasion was the presentation
of a handsome purple and gold banner,
on which appeared the log cabin and
beaver, by Mrs. David Steel, on be
half of the Native Daughters, to Aber
netby's cabin, of Portland, which was
received with a neat address by A.
R. Armstrong, president of the cabin.
After tbe entertainment at the
Marquam the delegates to the grand
cabin repaired to Brandies' restaurant
where Abernethy cabin entertained
them tbe remainder oi the evening
with a banquet fit for kings, and where
mirth and wit prevailed until far into
the morning. For supplying this en
tertainment the Native Sons of Port
land merrited the good will and com
mendation of their bretberen from tbe
different parts of the state.
The crowning feature of the meeting
of the Native Sons assisted by the
Native Daughters, and that for which
they deserve most credit, wa6 tbe at
tention shown the pioneers at their
annual reunion which took place on
Thursday, and the efforts put forth to
make the meeting of the old people
one of pleasure. - Under the supervi
sion of those orders lunch was served
at tbe tabernacle, where the old
fathers and mothers of the state were
provided with every comfort obtainable
at which some 600 were congregated
during the forenoon. When the
pioneers assembled at the Hotel Port
land to proceed to the armory where
their reunion proper was held, they
were escorted by tbe Native Son's and
Daughters who acted as a body guard
to the old timers. One striking feature
of the Pioneer's procession was that
it was led by Cyrus H. Walker, the
oldest white child born in Oregon,
carrying a banner with the inscription
"Pioneer of 1838." There was no one
to accompany him. He is alone in his
class not only the oldest Native Son,
but tbe only surviving pioneer of 1838.
The Native Sons in their first state
reunion have demonstrated fully one of
tbe prominent features of their order
the preserving of tbe memories of
tbe pioneers and the attention they
showed the old veterans alone is suf
ficent to recommend them to the
public.
To Whom It May Concern.
Having given up tbe agency for the
sale of tbe McCormack reaper and
mowers, at The Dalles, in favor of J.
T. Peters & Co., I cheerfully recom
mend them as being well qualified to
take care of the requirements of the
trade.
In future, will be pleased to receive
an occasional call at Moro, Ore., from
any of our old friends who may be in
that neighborhood. '

Kemalns of Four Human Be inn
tug Unmistakable evidences of a
Grim Tragedy.
Frank Clancey, a Southern Oregon
miner," who came a few days ago, re
ports that on Monday the cabin of
Henry Hansen, a placer min-, was
burnt down, about 12 miles from
Graut's Pass. The fire occurred in
tbe morning, and when Hansen had
occasion to visit his shelter at noon he
found the charred embers in a pit
about five feet deep, whereas it was
believed the cabin had stood upon
level ground.
Curiosity led Hansen and a few
other miners living close by to delvs
into tbe hole, and their reward was a
ghastly sight. A foot or so above the
bottom were three small logs, partly
covered with boulders, and when the
debris was cleared from them and the
boulders and logs removed, tbe miners
were horror-struck at seeing four hu
man skeletons. Three of these were
of men, and the fourth that of a,
woman, each with a bullet hole
through the skull.
These evidences of a horrible crime
must have lain there a long time, as it
is more than 15 years since the cabin
was put up. The miners picked up
these relics of former human lives and
decently Interred them. Clancey says
that he met the man who originally
constructed the cabin, Peter Jennings,
at Cripple Creek, Colo., four years ago
and vouches for his incapability of
sueh a crime as resulted in the inhu
man burial of those skeletons.
The discovery is a mystery which,
perhaps, never will be solved. The
persons whom these skeletons repre
sent must have been strangers in the
part of the country where they were
murdered.
Besides that," added Claocey. "no
one in Southern Oregon now living
there remembers that three men and
a woman were ever reported as missing."
M. Clancey says be spoke to several
ex-officers, who served several years
ago, in relation to the matter, and
they all declared that any attempt to
clear up the mystery at this late
date would prove absolutely fruit
less. Portland Telegram.

LADIES'
TAILOR-MADE:
The Boy With a Gun.
The "man with a hoe" is attracting
udiversal attention throughout the
land, but in Tbe Dalles the boy with a
gun is under consideration just new.
Some parents bave indiscreetly put
rifles into tbe hands of their bovs
without impressing upon them the fact
that they are somewhat dangerous if
tired toward' persons or dwellings. As
a result there have been several nar
row escapes from serious accidents.
The other day some bovs were shoot
ing at squirrels back of the old fair
grounds, and a bullet from a gun pen
etrated tbe walls of a house, striking
a stove and barely missing a lady.
And in that vicinity it is not an un
common thing for pedestrians to bear
bullets whistling over their heads.
The smaller boy with the air gun is
also becoming a terror down town.
One broke a window out of the court
bouse a few days since, and others
shoot around promiscuously. The
attention of the authorities has been
called to the careless handling of
fire arms, and hereafter minors found
with guns inside the city limits will
be arrested.
