Crop reports from Sherman county

thresh more than two-thirds of an
. average crop of wheat, and very little
of it will be No. 1.
The Butler Drug Co. have filled one
: of their windows with a bright uev

. well to see this stock before buying
your paint.
Postmaster Riddell started toWinu

ing that will deplete the fish streams
of the Cascades. They are Harrv

George K. Beede, who several years
atro was considered one of the most
prosperous business men in Seattle, id

health, his faculties being unimpaired
except only a slight defect in his hea
ing.
The smallpox scare in Heppner b;
about subsided. The Gazetts of ti
3rd .says concerning it: "The sraa'

symptoms of the contagion, and t
fears of the community are at rest."
Fred Young and family returnc i
last evening from a visit to Portia' 1
and the sea coast. Mr. Youn; ' i
throat trouble has been entirely curt .1
by the treatment he received fro i
Portland specialists, and the boys : ;
apparently more rugged than wh t
they went below. Id fact one of the' ,
a lad of eight years, is a pretty fii )
sample of health, as be weighs I I
pounds. He is a native of Wast o
county and a pretty fine specimen.
The success with which the Sba -company
has met in filling the Bali. -win
opera house eery night duric z
the past week, and at a time wtae'i
- there are so many people out of tow ,
is sufficient to convince almost an -
. body that a theater will pay in Ti )
Dalles if popular prices prevail. '
companies will give good attractioi -here
and at prices that people can a .
ford to pay, there is no question abo :,
the patronage.
One of the most contemptable the'
that has beca recorded in this vicini'
for some time was perpetrated at ti
home of Theodore Mesplie last Su.
day. Mr. Mesplie had a number .'
articles that belonged to his deceased
brother, Father Mesplie. the pioneer
priest of this country, including a robe
with gold trimmings, a monstrance
and a chalice, all of which were of
considerable commercial value, ant
were highly prized because they were,
relics the dead priest treasured. Some
one entered the house last Sunday and
stole the articles. Today Wiliet it er
guson was given an examination be
fore Justice Bayard on a charge of
having Ltolen the articles and was held
in bonds of $250. Evidence against
him was all circumstantial, but wa
sufficient to warrant his being held.

boijs for sofa pillows, not until to
day bave we seen a single one of the
many collections used for that purpose.
If we are any judge of pretty things
In fancy work, when the ladies see the
one made by Mrs. Will Garretsoo, they
will all settle down to make one just
like the one mentioned. It is on ex
hibition ia Garretson's window and is
attracting much merited attention for
it is the prettiest thing we have seen
for many a day, and we do not mean to
flatter the maker in the least when wa
say that she is one of the few who can
figure out such a pattern.
Some detestable scoundrel, who has
evidently not the sense or decency
that God gave geese has, at various
times during the past spit tobacco
juice on Mr. Van Norden's window.
Last night be repeated the perform
ance, and included the Daut Optical
and Jewelry company in with Van
Norden's aDd smeareil the plate glass
in both bouses in a shameful manner.
The culprit is evidently someone who
holds a grudge against the proprietors
of these establishments and if caught
be will find that this is an expensive
way to get even, and it is certainly not
an honorable way to show contempt.
A reward will in all probability be of
fered and the offender may yet be

The Oregoniao states that Willam
ette valley gardners will begin ship
ping water melons to Portland about
the last of the month. Wasco county
gardners are already shipping melons

shows that the season here is con
siderably earlier than it is west of the
mountains.

quantities of gold are coming out of
the Klonkike this season. The steam1
er he came from St. Michaels to Van
couver on brought 83,000.000.
Few residents of The Dalles bave
imagined tbey were paving thei
streets with go'.d, silver and platinum
or that every day they were treading
upon bidden treasures: but if the Sin
clair Bros., assayers of Victoria and
Seattle, are not mistaken, the real
thing is in the basalt rock that abounds
in this section. They haye opened an
asBay office here, and have made tests
of the country rock from which they
say they bave got traces of gold and
silver and an abundance of platinum
They mey be found at Drews' barber
shop for a few days.
WILL CONSTRUCT SEWER SYSTEM.
So the Council Decides at Saturday Even

snaKeirora and James nelly were
present.
Mr. Stephens introduced a resolu
tion, which was passed by the council,
whereby tbey determined to immedi
ately construct a sewer system differ
ing somewhat from what was hare to
fore advertised. Some recommenda
tionshave been made by engineer Rob
erts which the council adopted which
is the reason given for the change.
rne principal changes will be as
follows:
In place of the sewer running down
Court street past the Umatilla House
and into the Columbia, it will turn
west at the alley back of the Columbia
hotel and lead into Mill creek. An
other chaupe will be made in tbe
same which wa3 to bave run through
ine private property of Ueo. Kuch and
Will Coodon, this will lead down
Fourth 6lreet instead.
As no furtner business came befo-e
the council upon motion tbey adjourn
for the evening.
niOHTY HARD WORK.
Some men have
to do their work
under all sorts of
unusual and ad
verse circum
stances that are just
as trying upon their
health and physical condi
tion as if they were soldiers
fighting and marching day
and night in a hard cam
paign. When the condi
tions turner wmcn a man
works are abnormal
and unhealthy he
needs to take
special precau
tions to build
himself up to
withstand the
extra strain.
"In 1894, was
working at niekt and
I broke out in lumps all over and when these left
the skin peeled on," savs Mr. John A. Calloway,
of 218 36th St., Columbus, Georgia, in a recent
letter to Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo. N. Y. " I
bad catarrh for four years and also liver and kid
ney trouble; when it would commence troubling
me I would have a slight aching a little below
the chest. I used many kinds of medicine but
received no benefit. My eyes were sunken and
my face was pale; I had pimples on my lace and
there was brown spots on my face. Now these
are all gone. I took six bottles of Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery and two of Dr. Pierce's
Pellets. They are the best medicines I ever used
in my life, and I do believe that I am entirely
well. I have a good appetite but before I com
menced treatment I had no appetite at all. Now
I am like a child ready to eat at any time of
day or night. Last year I weighed one hundred
and thirty-four pounds and now I weigh one
hundred and forty -five. Please accept my
thanks. I am so glad I found the right kind
of medicine."
"Golden Medical Discovery" is free
from alcohol; it is pure medicine and noth
ing else. Unlike the so-called "tonics"
and "extracts" which tend to create an
appetite for stimulants, the "Discovery"
creates only a healthy natural temperance
appetite for good food which nourishes and
strengthens. The medicine dealer who
says he has something "just as good"
knows that he falsifies. If he urges an in
ferior substitute it is to gain a few pennies
greater profit No matter how discour
aged you may be, write to Dr. Pierce for
advice Which he will send yon free and
which if followed, is bound to do yon good.
I WHAT A IBISSOUKIAN SAW.
Editor nf the Klcntnond Conservator Tellt
His Readers About The Dalles.
The following is taken from the
Richmond, Missouri, Conservator of
the 3d. The editor of the paper Geo.
W. Trigg accompanied by his wife,
visited this place after having attended
the National Editorial Association:
Monday afternoon our party through
the courtesy of W. H. Hurlburt, gen
eral passenger agent of the "Oregon
Railroad and Navigation Company,
boarded the train and were soon wend
ing our way amidst the beautiful
scenery of the Columbia river to The
Dalles, and old government trading
poet 88 miles distant from Portland.
We reached there about 5 o'clock in
the afternoon. The town takes its
name '"The Dalles" from the rapids in
the river a few miles above. These
were call d La Grande Delia de la Co
lumbia, (the great trough of the Co
lumbia, the gathf rsng of waters.) a
point above which no boats can pass.
After supper we mot J. A. Doutbit,
publisher of The Dalles Times-Moun-tsineer,
who offered his services and
showed us the sights of the city. We
visited some of the large stores and
business houses and were surprised at
their size and magnitude. They would
do credit to cities of ten times her
population, We also visited her wool
warehouses, the largest in th3 world.
Each season there is shipped from this
city of less than 5,000 people, over
8.000,000 pounds of wool and 1.000,000
bushels of wheat, besides large quanti
ties of barley and vegetables, and an
abundance of fruit. In addition to
the above, large shipments of cattle
and sheep are constantly being made
from this little village, one of the
largest shipping points on the Colum
bia river. The previous week to our
visit the leading bank in the city
transacted business to the amount of
$1,500,000. Produce is hauled to that
point from a distance of over two hun
dred miles back in the country and
merchandise taken in exchange for a
good share of farm and range pro
ducts. SERIOUS RAILROAD ACCIDENT.
Engineer Charlie Kvans Receives Broken
Leg.
Last Saturday evening Charlie
Evans, one of the oldest and most pop
ular railroad engineers in the employ
of the O. R. & N. Co. met with a very
severe accident abont a mile this -ide
of Arlington. He was driving engine
No. 72 attached to the Spokane train
going east, when the side rod of bis
engine broke, the end being driven up
with great force through the floor of
the cab and catching Mr. Evan's leg
crushing the right foot terribly and
breaking- tbe bones of the leg between
tbe knee and ankle.
Mr. Evans was taken to Arlington
where a physician cared for hira'Tuntil
tbe arrival of train No. 3 which took
him to Portland, where Drs. A. D. and
E. K. McKenzie, of Portland, and Dr.
H. Logan, of this place, amputated
the leg ju-t below tbe knee in St.
Vincent's hospital Sunday forenoon.
Mr. Evans had been in the employ
of tbe company for many years, and
was one of the most trusty engineers
on the road. Lately be had contem
plated quitting ra'lroading, bavin? ac
cumulated enough property that ho
could retire from work, as be owns a
fine farm 12 miles from Portland, and
he had arrangad to retire from the
road next December. His family re
side in Portlaud, and he will have
every care that can be'glven him dur
ing bis misfortune. His many friends
here will be pleased to learn that be
recovered from the operation as well
as could be expected and that bis con
dition is not considered dangerous.
RAILROAD RUMBLINGS.
Namarons Big Companies Are Looking
After the .Northwest Trade.'
Railroad building has been a little
slack the past few years on this coast,
but every indication points to the
fact tnat toe coming year win see
more track laid in Oregon and Wash
ington than there has been since tbe
O. R. & N. and Northern Pacific lines
were completed. The Noithern
Pacific is looking for a down hill haul
out of the great wheat belt of Eastern
Washington, and is going (to have it.
If it cannot get trackage over tbe O
R. & N. line it will build a road down
the north side of the Columbia, and
this appears to be almost assured, for
there is little likelihood that the O. R
& N. can concede to the Northern's de'
mands, because it has about all the
traffic that a single track can handle.
Then the Southern Pacific is evidently
looking for a better outlet than it has
at present in the Northwest. A. B,
Hammond, of the Astoria & Columbia
River road, is pushing his line south
from its western terminus, which
seems to be nothing but a connecting
link for the Southern. That is, a road
leading from Seaside to connect with
the Southern Pacific at some point in
tbe Willamette valley. With these
lines building and in contemplation.
the indications are that railroad com'
panies are looking to the mouth of tbe
river ai the coming distributing point
for the Northwest; that at least three
lines the Southern Pacific, Northern
Pacific and Union Pacific will with
in a short time each bave a terminus
near the entrance of the Columbia
river harbor. This means that a big
railroad center and shipping point will
be built up either at Warren ton,
Flavel or Astoria, and whichever one
of those places is best adapted for this
purpose will be the railroad city aud
shipping point of the Northwest.
WORST OF THE SEASON.
Tbe Minstrel Performance Anything Bnt
entertaining:.
Some -of those who attended the
performance given by the Georgia
Minstrels last night were heard to say
tbey had seen worse performances, but
they could not remember when or
where it was. The writer cannot im
agine where a poorer performance
could bave been given, and sincerely
hopes such a torture will not soon be
Imposed upon the people of The Dalles,
for the performance baa almost no
merit whatever. Tbe Georgia Min
strels came here under tbe guise of
first-class people in lh?ir line, and
everybody thought tbey were genuine
until tbey heard the band in the after
noon. Though if the parade of the
band had not convinced all that the
show was a bilk, they found it out on
their arrival at tbe opera house, where
in order to get a program, the guests
must buy a trashy song book contain
ing patent medicine advertisements
and a few "coon" songs. As very few
programs were bought, the audience
could not even tell when the "show"
was over. There was but one re
deeming feature in tbe whole perform
ance, a young woman who was' a fairly
good singer, the rest was "bum," and
the less said of it the better.
No blame can be attached to Mr.
Butler, manager of the opera house,
for having billed this combination of
failures, for be, like the audience, was
led to believe through representations
made to him that they were all right.
Had be known what kind of people
they were, he would not have allowed
them to make a date in the opera
house- Mr. Butler states that he is
contracting with some good attrac
tions that are coming this way, and be
fore be allows them billed will be
convinced as to their merit, so he
hopes people will not judge 'what is
coming by the Georgia Minstrels.
GAVE WAY TO DESPONDENCY.
John Parent, an Old Grand Army Man,
Attempts to 8nlcide
Being afflicted with consumption,
and having no hope of ultimate re
covery, without means of support,
living in a small shanty near tbe
reserroir, John Parent, an old soldier
and member of the G. A. R., in a fit of
despondency, sent a bullet crashing
into bis head at about 6:30 last even
ing. For three years past he has been
sinking gradually from the effects of
the incurable disease consumption,
and had exhausted all his means
traveling from one place to another in
search of health. Some time since he
came to Tbe Dalles with his wife and
son aged 18 years, and took an old
house near the reservoir on the bluff.
He grew gradually worse, haying be
come so feeble that he could only
move about the house, and yesterday
had appeared extremely gloomy. In
the evening bis wife stepped out of tbe
bouse for a few minutes, and on re
turning found Mr. Parent lying on the
bed with a 22-calibre rifle by his side,
and in an unconscious condition.
He had placed the muzzle of the
rifle in his mouth just back of his
front teeth and fired. Drs. Geisendorf
fer and Logan were called and upon
examination found the ball had passed
up through the roof of the mouth, but
had gone between the two lobes of tbe
brain, which accounted for it not pro
ducing immediate death. The patient
was in such a delicate slate of health
that be could not withstand an opera
tion, hence no effor was made to ex
tract the bullet.

AFTER THE SCRIBE.
Oregon Boys Beady to Blanket"
the
New York Sun Correspondent.
It will be remembered that Oscar
King Davis, war correspondent for the
New York Sun, sent some correspon
dence to his paper severely criticising
tbe soldiers of tbe Second Oregon on
their trip from San Francisco to Ma
nila, and the boys have had it in for
him ever since. The boys thought !
they saw Davis at the Presidio the '
other day, and pandimonium reigned ''
for a time. A dispatch dated at San ;
Francisco on the 3d gives the follow
ing account of tbe scene:
When General Summers saw his
men rush to arms this morning be
thought Filipinos were ibombarding
the Presidio. Guns there were none,
but every man had a blanket on his
arm. All were yelling like cowboys
and runuing at breakneck speed in
every direction. One'lone man armed
with a sharp lead pencil, was the
enemy Oscar King Davis, correspon
dent of. the New York Sun. Word
was passed among the Oregonians
that be bad been seen in camp.
''Blanket him! Blanket tbe only man
who ever roasted the Second Oregon
volunteers! ' was tbe slogan that went
from tent to tent.
Davis disappeared very suddenly, if
he was there at all. A dozen men
swear that tbey recognized him beyond
doubt. Scores of tbe boys searched
for the reporter but failed toland him.
"He called us farmers and incom
petents before we ever saw the firing
lines, said a volunteer from company
A. "I wish we could bave had him in
a blanket for ten minutes this morn'
ing."

PLEASED WITH THE DALLES.
One of the Visiting Editors Tells What
He Saw Here.
The following is taken from the
Daily Enquirer, of Carlville, 111., whose
editor visited this city on July 4th in
company w'.th the delegates to the
national association:
'The first citv of imrortance we
reached ia the Columbia valley was
The Dalles, which looked stately with
its magnificent trees, large brick
blocks, mammoth warehouses, beauti
ful residences and well-kept lawns.
We were surprised to learn that The
Dalles, where Generals Grant and
Sheridan learned the rudiments of war
fare, is one of the chief commercial
cities of the Northwest. Tbe sur
rounding country is noted for its
magnificent fruit lands, broad plateaus
with their waving grain and a great

Casi ade Locks Agoge.
There is war and rumors of war in
tne town of Cascade Locks. The
trouble is over water, a very peculiar
thing to quarrel about when it is so
plentiful. For a number of years tbe
residents of the lower part of town
have been furnished water free, and
because the owners of the water works
shut off the supply tha consumers got
wrathy. One man by the name of
Schmidt got so indignant that he de
termined to annihilate the entire water
company, and promised to fill tbe
owners of the water works with lead
whenever he should see them. As a
result he was taken before Justice
Stott Monday and required to give
bonds to. keep the peace. This did
not, however, smooth the ruffled tem
pers of his friends, and one of them
bad to be severely thumped by afriend
of tbe water company.
