John Paine, of Walla Walla, one of
the best authorities on the wheat
crop, has returned from an extended

Grass Valley sheepman, is in the city.
Be says that his sheep which are in
the Cascade mountains in Skamania

not seem to lay on fat as readily as
might be expected and Mr. Wilcox
" attributes it to tho above cause.
Latest reports from Prineville are
that Furnell, the murderer of Thomas
Morran, is still at large and is not the
innocent man he is said to be, oise he
would have long ago given himself up
to the authorities. It is plain to be
seen that when he declared he would
surrender he did it simply to gain
. time to escaped and he has probably
succeeded in so doing.

justice court some time ago unaer a
charge of horse stealing, and bound
over to appear before thegrand jury,
was today let out on f 150.00 bonds.
He has been in the county jail since
June 21 as he could not secure a bonds
man and we daresay he has had a suf
ficient taste of jailbirds life to satisfy
almost, an v ordinarv man. His trial
in October will be the seiond he has
had before the circuit court in this
county for sualing.
At 2 o'clock this afternoon Sheriff

Another fire alarm was turned in at
about 10 o'ecock yesterday morning
and the department turned out in
quick order. It was a false alarm,
however, and was given by someone
who seen smoke rising from the roof
of French & Co. bank building. It
appears that the girl who works in the
telephone office had a fire In the stove
l.ninc nitrht and as there were
some large chunks that were smolder
iog it caused someone to believe that
the building was afire.
The lecture by Rev. L Conradi at
St. Peter's church last night was
largely attended by people of all creeds
and was thoroughly appreciated by
every one present. Father Conradi
has spent over thirty years in mission
ary work in India, among the Chinese,
in the Nez Perce Indian reservation
and among lepers on the island of
Maloki, and by such a vast experience
to relate many interestlug narntives,
and tell many thrilling adventures.
It Is his intention to resume his mis-
aionarv work in India in the near
future.
The band concert, which was given
in the Court street school yard yester
day afternoon, was listened to by a
large number of our town people and
thoroughly enjoyed by all present.
On account of the announcement
being made at such a late hour many
did not know that it was going to take
place until it was over, but in spite of
this many were present to hear ;he
most promising band that our city has
ever bad, play some choice selections,
and all hope that this will not be the
last time that they will volunteer to
give an open air concert.
The committees which haye been
appointed to sell tickets for the fire
men's ball began work today in their
respective districts, and are meeting
with splendid success. Everyone who
has been asked have made generous
donations and it is now evident that
the boys will make a substantial sum
from the ball. This is indeed gratify
ing as they need every cent they can
raise to purchase the necessary articles
to fight fire, and since the boys wb
are no more interested than any on
else are doing so much It Is Indeed tb
dutv of every one of us to help them
all we can.
Mr. Summers tne mining expert.
who has been sent from this city to
investigate some coal mining pro-
pects on the Columbia river near
Astoria, returned yesterday and
Quite enthusiastic. He states that
while the mine has not yet been open
ed up, there is enough in sight to con
vince him that it is a valuable find
He wfll in all probability be appointed
superintendent of the niine and the
work of opening up will begin in a
short time. The outcroppings of an
eight inch vein has been discovered
and much more will be unearthed
when the tunnel is run into the moun
tain.
The members of the hook and lad
der company, who will give the
society event of the season, the grand
ball, on September 15 have) decided to
divide the town up into districts and
appoint a committee in each district
to sell tickets. They will begin opera
tions in earnest today and no one will
be overlooked. Still if they should
fail to call on anyone we hope he will
not feel slighted and on the other
hand will show his good will by
calling around and purchasing
ticket without solicitation on the part
of the committee. It is only once in a
life time that an opportunity is offered
to contribute to so good a ciuse and
we hope no one will let this chance
slip.
Parties coming over from Klickitat
county state that the road between the
ferry landing and the top of the moun
tain is in better shape than ever before
at this time of year. This is indeed a
good thing for The Dalles as many
who have heretofore hauled their
grain to Lyle and Columbus on ac
count of the poor condition of this
road will haul their produce to this
city. A good road leading to any
town from a farming community in
creases . business, ana tne business
men of The Dalles owe much to Mr.
Gllmore, supervisor of this road for
putting it in such shape and (keeping
it so weli repaired. The heavy haul
ing over the road may have a tendancy
to put the road in bad shape and if
such is the case the business men of
this city should volunteer to raise
funds for any necessary Improvement.

this summer to transport sheep and
cattle, has gone to the bottom. A
load of lumber was being placed on the
hull recently at Drano and as the

freely and in a short time the hull was
under water. As it has been of no
great value to the D. P. & A. N. Co., it
will not be raised. .

Frank McDaniel, accused of having
murdered Clara Fitch in Cycle Park
two months ago, will again come be
fore the public in a short time. The
grand jury was formed yesterday and
McDaniel will have his trial before
that body whenever District Attorney
Sewell feels like calling the case. As
it is the most important one to be
considered, it will in all probability
come up first and then the Portland
detectives will have a chance to tell
what success they bad in following up
their clews. It is more than likely
that McDaniels will be released and
Portland's latest murder mystery will
be left unsolved.
Sunday the fall season for salmon
fishing commenced and the fishermen
all along the river, who were so
anxiously awaiting the day when they
could resume operations, began work
in earnest. Many were figuring on a
very heavy run of salmon and to a
great extent have been disappointed
a there is not the fish in the river
that they figured on. Eeuferr. Bros.
are operating low water wheels and
i
seins, but as yet are not getting suf
ficient salmon to keep their cannery
running over half the tim3. Authorit
ies on fishing state that a dry fall will
do much damage to the industry, as
almon never run well when the water
is clear and withoutfall rains such ill
be the case.
A SHOCKING ACCIDENT.
Ueorge l!ron, of 1'ortland. Drowned in
the Slouch This Morning.
A sad case of drowning occurred in
the slough about a mile above the city
at 10:30 Saturday. It appears that
Carl and Earl Rinehart, a little fellow
named Pearson, George Brown, the
boy who was drowned, and several
other youngsters went up to the
slough to go swimming.
All the boys except George Brown
were on one side of the slough, while
he was opposite to them and but a
short distance away, as the slough is
quite narrow. After removing hi9
shoes and stockings he waded in up to
hit knees and then went out and re
moved the remainder of bis c.otbing.
He then took a board to assist him to
float, as be could not swim, and began
wading out. The boys on the op
posite shore cautioned him not to go
too far but he, unconscious of his danger
kept on wading into deeper water
when he suddenly slipped off a rock or
sandbank and sank. His little com
panions were powerless to help him
and he was dead before any assistance
reached the spot. The first grown
person on the scene was C. B. Cush
ing who was going up the river bunt
ing and he heroically went in at the
risk of his own life to rescue the little
feliow. It was too late, however, as
the poor boy bad been in the water
almost half an hour when Mr. Cusblng
reached him and life was extinct.
The Rinehart boys immediately
came to town for a doctor, but the lad
was past all medical aid. Mr. Cush'
ing did all in his power to bring the
boy to, but after determined effort it
was plain that it was too late.
George Brown, was the son of Mr,
and Mrs. A. Brown, of Portland, who
were here for a few days visiting the
family of Mr. M. J. Pearson. He was
ten years and eleven months, old, and
was a bright inteilL'om little fellow,
and bis suddan and untimely death
indeed a sad blow to his bereaved
parents, rrho are almost distracted
with grief and have the sympahty of
the entire csrnmunity.
Tiie remains were brough to Ml
cbeli's undertaking parlors where
they will be prepared for burial and
sent to the home of the parents in
Portland on the early morning train
tomorrow.
HYMINAL.
Mr.
Frank Cram anil Mias Etta Story
Married at Union.
Frank A. Cram, of The Dalles, and
Miss Etta Story, of Union, were united
in the bonds of matrimony at the
residence of the bride's parents Mr
and Mrs J. L. Story in Union, Oregon
at 2 P. M. today.
Both bride and groom are widely
known and highly respected in
The Da'lesand have a large circle o
friends and acquaintances who have
known the young people since their
early childhood, and who sineerely
hope that their married life may be
long and happy.
Mr. Cram is a competent: young
business man in the employ of A. M.
Williams & Co., of this city while
Miss Story, who has lived here the
greater part of her life, has by her
beautiful character and sunny disposi
tion won the esteem of all her ac
quaintances and all the congratulations
that the groom receives for winning
the heart and hand of such a highly
esteemed young lady are indeed merit
ed. They will take a short wedding
trip to Seattle and Victoria and return
home on the 11:30 train next Saturday
night, and it is more than likely that
the young men will turn out ej masse
with base drums, shotguns, tin cans
and other chariyari paraphernalia to
welcome the young couple to The
Dalles where they will make their
future home.

Another great discovery has been

her vital organs were undermined and
death seemed imminent, for three
months she coughed incessantly, and
could not sleep, she finally discovered
a way to recovery, by purchasing of

THE TEACHERS' INSTITUTE.
Report of the Closing KxerciRes of a Suc
cessful Meetiug.
After a brief recess work was re
sumed by singing.
Mrs. E M. Wilson spoke briefly and
to the pointon "The Youth's Compan
ion." She highly estimated the value
of this paper. She says that its chief
value lies in the perfection of its En
glish and authentic information.
R. L. A I lard read a paper on Text
books, their use and abuse. He briefly
outlined the essential features of the
up to date text and pointed out a few
of the flagrant abuses of texts by "text
book slaves." In the following dis
cussion question were asked which
brought forth the fact that teachere
are strenously trying to free them
selves from the text-book habit.
H. L. Howe read an interesting paper
on "Lear ing by Doing." His paper
contained good food for reflection,
He illustrated very neatly the ludic
rousness of cramming students with
our own pet theories and expecting
them at once to grasp it in its fullness
Miss Rajina Campbell read an ex
cellent paper on "Neatness and
Economy" She offered many good
suggestions along this line, which, if
they were carefully carried out would
achieve success in keeping school
rooms in general in better condition.
F. B. Barnes, in his subject "How
Much Business Education Should be
Taught in the Common School"
touched upon a much felt want among
graduates from a good many of our
schools, that is the lack of any prac
tical business education. He says that
he believes that the time is coming
when manual tools will accompany the
student along with bis books ioto the
school rooms and that the couatry
will be the betur for it. He read an
excellent paper. Here the institute
adjourned until evening.
EVENING SESSION.
The evening session convened in the
assembly room of the High Sbool
building. A very large attendance
was noted. The session opened with a
vocal solo by Miss Elizabeth Bonn
rendered in the most excellent style,
This was followed by the reading of a
bright, strong paper entitled "Charac
ter" by P. W. Kellv. The next fea
ture of the evening was a duet by Supt
Landers and Rev. D. V. Poling.
The piece was heartily encored but
the gentlemen would not be brought
forward again.
The chief feature of the evening ses
sion was a lecture by Pres. P. L,
Campbell, of the State Normal School
on "Are we Being Over-Educated,
Pres. Campbell gave a strong talk
upon the subject.
He unquestionably proved by his
argument that if it is a crime to carry
education to the extreme the American
people are, then it is a crime for the
state to furnish any assistance what
ever to its young citizens. He goes on
to prove that the education required to
make a good business man, does not
cover the ground of that required for
good citizenship, but that required for
good citizenship does cover the
ground for a good business man. He
proves further that the establishment
of high schools is realty cheaper in the
long run, as well as the fact that the
children are then generally under
home influence.

A Midnight Blare.
At 1:30 Saturday morning the in
habitants of our city were awakened
by the blowing of whistles and ring'
ing of the fire bell which told, them
in an insiant that our city was visited
by the fire fiend. In spite of the in
convenience of the hoar the sidewalks
were soon Hoed with people rushirg to
the engine house to lend a hand.
It was found upon arriving there
that the fire was in a small house own
ed by Mr. N. Harris near bis residence
on the hill in the east end, and as
there was no plug in tbas part of town
the department was called in. The
South side company was the only one
to reach the scene of the blaze. Al
though it was impossible to get
a stream on the blaze they did splen
did work in preventing the spread of
flames to the surrounding buildings.
When the fire was discovered it was
too far advanced to be gotten under
control with the' limited means at
hand for fighting fire, and all that
could be done was to save what could
be gotten out and preventing it
from spreaping.
The building was occupied by the
family of Mr. Cohn and was insured at
about $750.00 and being almost fully
insured the loss is light. We have not
heard what Mr. Cohn's loss is but un
derstand that he carried some insur
ance. '
