' Max Vbgt Is making extensive im
provement in the drug store building.
He will put in a plate glass front, and
the store will be devided with a parti
tion so as to make the sale room and
way room seperate. ,
Miss Ida' McKibbon who for the
past week has been the guest of Mr
E. M. Wilson, left on the boat this
morning for Portland from which
place she will return to her home in
Pennsylvania. She was accompanied
as far as the Cascades by Mr. Wilson
" Since taking control of The Dalles-
Prineville stagt line Mr. Cornell has
made Improvements that are appre.
-dated by the traveling public. He
' has put on 20 new horses and establish
ed three more stations so that the run
Blag time has been reduced below the
schedule.' He is now giving the best
service that has ever been on the
line. - .'
The O. R. & N. contemplates a con
siderable Improvement of its track be
tween this place and Umatilla during
the next few months. It is their in
tention to put three steam shovels to
work on the road loading gravel with
whicb to balance the track at various
, points so that when the heavy grain
traffic begins in the fall it will be in
excellent 'shape.
William Robinson, who is in the
city from Eight-Mile, purchasing har
vesting implements informs us that
the hot weather and east winds of the
pant week is. ripening the grain too
rapidly atd without a shower of rain
within the next few days the crop in
bis neighborhood will be short. The
same is true of the greater part of
Sherman county as well as the Boyd
. and' Nansene section and the only
place chat does not show the bad effects
of the east winds is the Tygh Ridge
country, the garden spot of Wasco
county. .
William Fredden returned home last
night from a weeks visit to Portland
and Salem. While in the latter place
be met J. C. Hertz formerly of this
city. Mr. Hertz Is making arrange
ments to go into business in that town
in the pear future. Mr. Fredden is
very favorably impressed with Salem,
but cannot see why any man should
prefer Salem to The Dalles.
Shortly after the train arrived yes
terday on which Sheriff Kelly brough t
Billy Winton, who was accused of
larceny of about $590, the defendant
had a , hearing and his bonds set at
$1,000. A good and sufficient bond
was given by three prominent busi
ness men and Winton was released
from custody. He was represented by
Hon. A. S. Berinettin Justice Bayard's
court this morning and waived ex
amination and was bound over to ap
pear before the next grand jury.
There are grave doubts as to Winton'a
guilt, and- it is not likely from all
Indications that a true bill will be
found against him. When he was ar
rested be had but $27 In cash on bis
person.
Mr. M. Rand has purchased the
California Resturant across from the
Clarendon and will in future conduct
the same under the name of the New
California Check Resturant. Mr.
Rand is a resturant man of 15 years
experience and will certainly give bis
guests as good, treatment as they
would receive any place in the city.
In speaking of the fireworks on
July- 4th the reporters' overlooked
the grandest pyrotechnic display
of the evening, that which was set
off almost in front of the Times-Moun-taneer
office at midnight. Neither
editor, foreman; or the compositors
knew any thing about the same so we
concluded that it must have been the
work of the "deVlL"
Sheriff Kelly who returned from
Baker city yesterday informs us that.
that town had a celebration on a large
scale on July 4th. A dancing platform
was erected which covered fan entire
square and people of Baker began to
trip the light fantastic at 10 a. m. on
the 4th and continued until 3 a. m. on
July 5. An enormous crowd from all
over the county celebrated at Baker.
The wool . markets evidently have
not yet recovered from the Fourth of
July celebration as no clips have
changed bands since that day. Most
of the wool buyers have not yet re
turned from Portland ' where they
have been to celebrate the national
holiday aud this accounts in a measure
for the market being so dull. It is ex
pected that it will open up tomorrow
with renewed vigor when the prices
will in all probability range from eight
to thirteen cents, and possibly as high
as thirteen and one half cents.
Yesterday afternoon while Tom
Kelly was seated in bis accustomed
place in the Umatilla House, in a
dreamy condition, watching the rings
of smoke rolling up from his havaoa,
be was suddenly aroused from his
lethargy by the 'patter of little feet,
and his amazement can well be im
agined when he saw a half grown jack
rabbit strutting around the bar-room,
seeking a hiding place. .It concealed
itself behind one of the open doors
where it was captured and placed in
a cage. It proved to be a genuine
jack rabbit and where it sprung from
is the question. It is likely that some
one brought the little animal in from
the country and it escaped, or it may
have taken a tie pass across one of the
Mill creek bridges and entered the
hotel, that being the first open door it
struck in its wanderings. Tom is
quite proud of his catch and will
present the same to Tom Kelly jr.
July celebration, as they have not
been overly active in the markets the
oast few davs. however. Mr. Kay
bought a few totl? 'aaoflg tiiW a
50,000 pounds of Crook county wool
sold by M. SJcbeL
V-
Edward Morsarecently in the em
ploy of tbe'Wfdttore Drug Co., ar
rived here last evening from Portland,
and will take a position with the '.But
ler Drug Co. Mr. Morse is n ex
perienced druggist, a pleasant gentle
man and will be a valuable addition to
the social circles of the city.
Already Dallesltes are beginning to
seek for cooler climes, and the favorite
resorts or tb6 beach and in the Cas
cade mountains will soon be populated
with representatives of this city. A
few have already gone, among whom
are J. W. French and family' who left
this morning for Long Beach. -
Attorney W. H. Holmes Wedenday
served upon District Attorney Hayden
a notice of appeal in the Magers mur
der case. Judge Burnett signed a
certificate of probable cause for the
appeal, and execution will be stayed,
Magers was sen tenced to be hanged at
Dallas July 21, for the murder of Ray
Sink a young Shearman county man.
An unusally large amount of money
has been paid out since the last term
of the county court as bounties on
wild animals. At least seven hun
dred coyote, wildcat and caugar scalps
has been brought in which amounts to
over fifteen hundred dollars. At this
rate-it is hard to see how the pests could
hold out for a great while.
From Friday's Daily.
C. T. Bonney, of Hood River, was in
the city last night. -
The price of wool still holds firm at
from 12 to 14 cents.
C. J. Stubling and C. F. Micbelbach
went to Goldendale today. -
S. B Driver is in from Wamio, aud
tays crop prospects are fine in that
section. .
Messrs E. Hannafin, Geo. D. Clem
ens, Roy Vinton and A. R.- Wilcox, of
Grass Valley, are in the city.
Court The Dalles, No. 12, F. of A.,
will have installation of officers tonight.
Members requested to attend.
Frank Irvine, the Antelope mer
chant, left this morning for home.
Mr. Irvine had been to Portland on a
business trip.
The National Editorial Association
closes its session in Portland today.
From Portland the editors go to As
toria tomorrow, and next week will
visit Southern Oregon.
Yesterday afternoon Frank. Angle,
billing clerk at the O. R. & N. ware
bouse, received a dispatch stating that
his father was dangerously 111 at Gray's
Harbor, and Mr. Angle left on No. 1
for that place.
Last evening Sam Wilkinson and
Miss Annie G. Francisco were married
and left on the train for Heppner. Mr.
Wilkinson and wife will return to The
Dalles to reside after having visited a
short time in Heppner.
The recent hot weather has scorched
grain slightly on the farms near the
Columbia, but the damage is hot yet
of any consequence. The crops back
from the river are not injured and bid
fair to yield an immense harvest.
Jonathan Col by Clay, day operator
at the depot, has turned over a new
leaf, the result of a "round rabbin'
presented by bis associates, and here
after there will be no swearing when
people ask if the train is on time.
Re., and Mrs. Rushing returned by
yesterday's boat from Turner, where
they have been attending the state
Christian convention. Mr. Rushing
will bold services in the Christian
church both morning and evening
next Sunday.
Wool buyers have evidently not
fully recovered from their Fourth of
Mrs. Robert Kelly who spent the 4th
in Baker City in company with her hus
band, informs us that she was surprised
and delighted with the grand celebra
tion that was held in that enterprising
place. The fireworks alone were said to
have cost at least $1200, and when the
same were being set off, the heavens
appeared to be a solid sheet of flame of
all the colors of the rainbow and a
sight so beautiful as not soon to be for
gotten. Her entire stay in Baker City
she says was a continual round of pleas
ure and she hoped to some day spend
another Fourth with these enterprising
and sociable people.
T. A. Rhea, a prominent stock
dealer, of Morrow .county, says tbe
wheat crop of that section will be
light this year, unless rain comes soon
to help it along. A good many fields
along Willow creek bottom are even
now beyond redemption, as the wheat
is heading out at a height of a few
inches. Grass, however, is good, and
stock of all kinds is in fine order. A
good many sheep and cattle have been
bought up by Eastern men in Morrow
county this year, Mr. Rhea says, but
still . "there are worlis of sheep for
sale." - Yearlings have been pretty
well cleaned up, but ewes and lambs
are being offered at reasonable prices.
The ranges of Eastern Oregon, have
been badly overcrowded with sheep
for several years, and yet today Mor
row county is grazing more sheep than
at any time since sheep raising was
begun there. Cattle,- however, are
getting scarce.

refreahlngto know that the National
Editorial Association is giving ti'hem a
good airing. Half of these fa&es are
purely blackmailing schemes.1 1 n that
tbe advertiser is forced into taking
space on them "just to help somebody
or some institution along." .The ad
vertiser readily sees hi9 announce
ment on them is valueless, btecause it
is seldom over read, and if read it is at
a time that little heed Is f.'lven. In
the discussion of these questions .be
fore the association Preside nt McCabe
took a bold stand agalqsF ithem and in
his most forcible language) denounced
such advertising as... Blackmailing
schemes and frauds. Bitsiness men,
he said, patronise churab programs
because they are afraid Uf refuse. He
suggested that published giTe their
own services to business men in de
fense of their rights and act as a sort
of buffer or turn-down 'agent between
the merchant and thepaper. In .his
section of the county, he said, mer
chants have learned that there is
nothing in sueh advertising and be
trusted that the entire country would
be educated to tbssame understanding.
Mr. Wheeler, of.' Illinois, stated that
the merchants An hlr part of the
country bad be4n annoyed by this
class of. advertising .fakes to such an
extent that they bad organized in self-

humbug from the ground up, but be
lieved that pnercbaute had been playing
with It so l(ng that they all were get

to legitimate newspaper advertising.
Nearly all others who took part
in tbe discussion denounced these
schemes as frauds, and held them up
as illegitimate business. . Tbe action
taken by the N. E. A. will no doubt at
tract the attention of advertisers and
will aid them tin withstanding the
program and tnte card fiends.
SCRIBES IN SESSION.
rnurt.iitl Annual Session of National
Editorial Association.
Th National Editorial Association
opened its annual session at the Mar
quam in Portland Wednesday morning.
At the opening session Col. L. L.
Hawkins presided, and on the stage
were seated the governor, mayor,
editor of the Oregonlan, president of
the Oregon Press Association, and of
ficers of the National Association
Rnmpnnr fieer was introduced and
welcomed the editors to the state, then
Miicnr Storv extended to them the

The next speaker was H. W. Scott,
editor of the Orearonian. who devoted
half an hour to talking on general
subjects. Hon. Joseph B. MacCabe,
nresident of ths National Editorial
association, responded very eloquently
and paid a pretty tribute to Oregon
and its hosoltable people. At the
conclusion of the address Col. Hawkins
ted Mr. MacCabe with the
gavel, and the business of the conven
tlon was commenced.
The session tbe first day was devoted
to considering papers that had been
prepared on advertising agencies,
publishers union and other matters of
imnnrtance to the association. The
first day of the session was indeed
well spent, all the delegates taking a
keen interest in its deliberations.
Gr Sea, Sheila That K.ij.
r A contributor describes the curious
phenomena of explosive sea shells. He
says: walking along the beach on Mo-
Diie Day, a young woman, a relative of
me writer, picked up a handful of little
shells, left by the tide, and among them
were several shells of a small marine
snail, tne largest of which was prob
ably a half inch in diameter and the
smallest some three-eights of an inch
one cropped them into her pocket and
iorgoi aa aDout them until several dnv
aiterward, when an unpleasant odor
in ner wardrobe attracted her attention
to tnem. On takinc them out of her
pocket some fell on the floor, and in re
covering them she placed her foot on
one. The act was followed bv an ex-
plosion, quite sharp, and loud enough
to be heard all over the floor on which
ner room is. Astonished, she concluded
to try another, and the same result fol
lowed. The shells were then brought to
tne writer, who on examination found
the mouth of each firmlv closed bv a
.
memorane ol greater or less thickness,
formed by the drying of the animal
slime. This had probably occurred
soon after removal from the moisture
of the beach, and the little inhabitants
of the shell dying, the gases of decom
position had quite filled its internal
space. On exerting a little pressure
by squeezing the shell between two
blocks of wood quite a loud explosion
was produced, the fragments of the
shell being thrown several feet. Subse
quently, on trying the experiment, out
of a dozen shells only two failed to ex
plode. National Druggist

HE'S A "CHEAP GUY."
A Counterfeiter ef tNlekeU Caught In The
v.. - ftiallea.
About 10 o'clockthis morning a seedy
looking individual, apparently very
much under the influence of liquor, en
tered C J. Stubling's sloon and began
playing tbe nickel-in-the-slot machine.
The fact that be was playing the small
numbers, putting a nickel each on the
two ten-cent numbers, attracted the at
tention of bystanders, and presently
James Fait, the barkeeper, began
watching bim, and noticed a nickel go
in that did not look just right. He at
once told the fellow to stop, and on
unlocking the machine found bogus
nickels to the amount of $2.05 in it. He
began expostulating with the stranger,
and in the meantime went into the tele
phone booth and called Sheriff Kelly to
come at once. Mr. Fait was able to
hold the stranger until the sheriff ar
rived, when he was taken in charge.
. On searching the fellow a sock full of
the bogus nickels, about five pounds,
was found pinned up under his coat,
and he had about 500 of them in one
pocket. The coins ore crude affairs
that couid not he passed anywhere for
genuine, but they will work in a slot
machine, and if the owner would per
eistently play the machine he conit
make several dollars a day. Besides
the bogus nickels and several dollars
worth of good ones, the fellow bad on
him a slip of paper on which was writ
ten the names of a number of metals
supposed to be the component parts of a
spurious coin, hence it is believed a real
counserfeiter has been found.
The fellow gives bis name as Hilding
Johnson, and from appearances ia a
Swede. He is about 5 feet, 8 inches
tall, has blue eyes and wears a mous
tache. He has the appearance of a la
borer, and claims to come from Walla
Walla.

Grant stories are now in order, and
one told by a white house attache re
cently has probably never been printed
before. It was a matter of current his
tory that Gen. Grant did not know how.
to whistle, nor could he turn a tune if
his life depended upon it. On one oc
casion, says the Chicago Tribune,
when an attendant came to deliver
cards from a party of callers, he found
President Grant sitting at a jliano in
one of the upper rooms of the white
house drumming away with a two
finger exercise. Mrs. Grant was an
amused spectator of the ' general's
piano exercises, and neither of them
heard the messenger at the door with
the visiting cards.
Finally, however, the attendant
opened the door, but this did not in the
least disconcert the president, who
kept on practicing as though he was
really enjoying it. "Here are the
cards, tJlys," said Mrs. Grant, "of a
party of friends whom we invited here
this evening. They are anxious to see
you. and if you are not too much inter
ested in the piano we will go down
stairs in the blue parlor."
"Don't you think you can get along
without me this evening?" replied
President Grant. "It seems to me this
calling business is your affair, and I
would a great deal rather play the
piano than plunge into the vortex of
society."

French Afrlean Expedlttoa 81 to He
Gnllty of AatOBlahtaar Craeltr.
A grewsome account of tbe conduct
of the French expedition which has just
made its way to the Nile is given by one
of its members in a private letter, says
the Boston Transcript. He says they
impressed all their native porters and
other help by force; in brief, seized and
made slaves of them. Then, if any of
them tried to escape, they shot or
hanged them. When they came upon a
village and found it deserted they set
it afire, whereupon the inhabitants, who
were hiding near by, would come back
and try to extinguish the flames, thus
giving the French an opportunity to
seize some of them to replenish their
slave train. The French would seize
the chief and tie him up until he fur
nished the required number of slaves.
If they did not succeed in calling any of
the natives within reach by incendiar
ism or other means they simply looted
the village. At night they kept as
close a watch upon the slaves as pos
sible, "but they would now and then all
run awav together, and it was not easy
to kill the whole lot,"
There is mora catarrh In this section of the
sou-try than all other diseases put together,
and notll the last few years was supposed to be
incurable. For a great many years doctors
ronounced it a. local disease, and prescribed
ocal remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced it in
curable. Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitntlonat disease. and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. HaU's Catarrh Cure

A Jolly Picnic.
Up with the lark on the glorious 4th,
with flags flying and hearts rejoicing,
in accordance with a pre-arranged
plan, a jolly crowd of picnickers took
to tbe hills. Now, take forty people
on pleasure bent, with well filled
baskets and hearts content each vloing
with tbe other to make a pleasant day,
and you have the party that spent the
4tb at "Fishers Retreat" on Five Mile.
The spot is an ideal picnic ground
with beautiful groves, a splendid
spring and fishing to your hearts con
tent. Truly this spot was intended by
Dame oature to gladden the hearts of
poor city tollers. ;
Tbe way tbe lunch disappeared was
a rt elation and, what with music
recitations and dancing could mortal
heart wish more. But all things have
an end, especially the good things and
after giving three rousing cheers for
our genial host and hostess, we re
turned once more to the windy city,

rrem Grala Under a Vacnnnt.
A new process for artificially extract
ing moisture from wheat was Dut to a
careful test in Berlin recently, says the
Ltmuon nmea. me trial was carried
out at the instance of Mr. Yerburirh.
M. P., who sent over 50 quarters of En-
usa wneat to De submitted to the Droe-
ess. The result was entirely satisfac
tbry, over six per cent, of moisture be
ing taken from the wheat, which was a
very dry sample in excellent condition
while the heat to which it was sub
jected could not possibly affect it in-
juriously.
The principle of the nrocess viz..
that of drying under a vacuum ha
been applied to many articles of com
merce, ana the result of this trial is to
show that it is equally well adapted
to wheat. It is hardly necessary to
point out that the subject is one of
great interest to British farmers, who
would be greatly benefited by the pro
vision of facilities for getting their
wheat into condition, particularly in
a wet season. The full details of the
trial will be laid before the agricul
tural committee on corn stores.

SPANKED THE WRONG PERSON.
A Chicago Woataa's Fnanr Attempt to
Suppress Cockflshtlaa.
The Bridgeman family have a good
joke on mater, reporte the Chicago
Times-Herald. She had promised ten-
year-old Dick a spanking if he brought
Tim Rogers and bis game onieicens into
the basement again.
One night when she went down to see
that everything was secure she found
unmistakable signs of battle. Then
she remembered that Dick had been
unusually quiet and well behaved at
dinner and had gone to bed early. So
she went upstairs with stern deter
mination in her soul, for the mill of
maternal justice grinds surely in the
Bridgeman family. .
Straight to Dick's room she went, and
if her heart softened at sight of tht
quiet figure in the bed and the dark
bead outlined against tbe pillow it did
not stay ber hand. She turned down
the bedclothes and vigorously applied
tbe slipper. Instantly a roar came
forth in tbe bass of her grown-up son.
"Thunder and blazes, mother, what
the deuce is the matterT"
There was an explosive snicker from
under tbe bed, but Mother Bridgeman
was too used up to trace the snicker
to its lair. And Dick didn't get a prom
ised spanking.

Keepina; Warm la Alaska.
The Esquimaux of the Yukon region
have mastered the art of keeping warm
with little or no fire. They can live
when tbe thermometer is 60 degrees be
low zero with no other heat than that
given toy a single lamp, reinforced by
that of their own bodies. The lamp is
lighted and set in the middle of a hut so
low that no one can stand upright in
it. Around the side of the hut is a
shelf, generally made of frozen snow.
and covered thickly with furs. On this
shelf the Indians lie in their sleeping
bags, crowded together as closely as
they can be packed. The entrance to
the hut is through a sort of a tunnel, so
constructed that the outer air will be
entirely excluded. The hut is thus al
most wholly without ventilation, and
when the lamp is lighted its heat,, with
that of perhaps a dozen human bodies,
makes it possible for anyone to live
through the winter in the hut, provided
he can stand the unspeakable foulneaa
of its) atmosphere. N. Y. World.
