at the residence of Mrs. Robt Kelly,
A drill of the South Side Hose Co.

' - ber are requested te be present.
: Chas. Wagner, of this city, left this
- morning for Antelope where be goes
to accept a position as manager of
Robert Greers new saloon which opens
up tonight.
A (note received from Reverend G
Rushing of the Christian church of
this city today, states that his brother,
Sacratus Rushing.had died at Garfield,
Washington, on the 12th inst and will
be buried at Cheney today. He was
,. 38 years, 8 months and 8 days old.
Mr. Rushing left Thursday evening on
receipt of the news of his brother's
sickness and had scarcely time to ar
rive at the bedside before the end
came. .
The coyote which Bill Gllmore has
trapped and led into captivity will be
sent to the city park in Portland, by
Tom Driver. Its nature has greatly
'- changed since it has been led into cap
, tlvity as it is no longer the timid look
ing animal that we so often see on the
' prairie, but a savage creature awaiting
an opportunity to fight anyone who
: comes near. : In all probability it will
soon become reconciled to its fate and
. . grew tame, as they usually do and it
. will be quite an addition to the park
as many city people have rarely, if
. ever seen a real Eastern Oregon coyote.
, Yesterday Mrs. F. R. Wintler of
Eugene, who is in the city on atrip
of business and pleasure, purchased a
tombstone from Louie Comini at the
' leading Granite & Marble Works of
this city, to be placed over the grave
of her brother, Albert Ullery. Being
, desirous of purchasing such a stone
and seeing some of Mr. Comini's work
she wished to investigate more fully
. what could be done in this line In The
' Dalles and being shown what monu-
ments Mr. Comini had erected in the
cemeteries she at once gave him an
order for a stone of granite taken
from his quarry on the hill south of
j The Dalles. The fact that people
coming from the Willamette Valley
give their orders to a Dalles man for
such articles is indeed flattering to the
dealer and should induce our people to
give Mr. Uommlnl our undivided pa
tronage.
Vast flocks of geese have come down
from the far north and have, been fly
ing low over Eastern Oregon. In
many places it is claimed, they have
kept so low they could almost be killed
. with clubs by people standing on the
ground. That this was done was
' - positively asserted by quite a number
- of people. ' Down on the Columbia
; river in the sloughs the geese haye
already congregated in immense num
bers, and hunters are going there to
slay them. It is stated by old hunters
that they have never known the wild
geese to come down so early in any
previous year, and the Indians regard
- this early migration of the geese as a
jure sign of an unusually early winter.
Hon. J. N. Williamson, of Prine
. ville, left for his home yesterday morn
ing. He has been attending the wool
growers meeting in this place and
Portland ana while at the latter meet
.. ing read an able discussion on the
question of forest reserves, 'grazing
: on them and a talk in defense of
sheep men in regard to the precaution
they take in preventing forest fires
-which was certainly logical since fires
are ruinous to their interests and they,
who are in general an honest and up
right class the same as those interested
In other lines of business would be the
last to be criminally careless in these
; matters.
Last evening one of the men who is
employed by Seufert Brothers at their
ranch near this city telephoned to -Mr.
Seufert that a passenger had fallen off
the train and sustaining serious in
juries and enquired as to what should
- be done in the matter. Mr. Ireland,
of the O. R. & N. was notified and
Bent out aa engine and caboose and
also a physician to investigate. The
victim was found enjoying a hearty
supper and upon investigating the
doctor could not find a scratch to in
dicate that the man was injured. The
doctor informed him that he was un
hurt . and he agreed that he felt
much better and walked so well that
he was able to proceed on his own way,
while the engine and caboose and
doctors returned to the city. The
fellow was! evidently playing possum
in order to induce the people at
Seuferts to give him ameaL
ports some winter weather in the Blue
mountains. Mr. Cradlebaugh is keep
ing mum about the mine in which he
is interested, but looks just like he has
a rich thing.
Mr. and Mrs. D. B. Gaunt returned
yesterday from a trip to the valley.
Thomas Glavey one of Klngsley'
substantial farmers spent yesterday in
the city.
Frank Woodcock, of Wamlc, left
this morning for a visit to friends in
Portland.
James Baxter a stockman from the
Black Rock couutrv near Antelope is
in the city on a business trip.
F. W. Bates, who has been visiting
with Dalles friends for the past few
weeks left for Portland this afternoon.
Mrs. George Mans returned yester
day from Spokane where she has been
visiting her sister for several months.
Yill Ragsdale passed through the
city yesterday en route to Portland
where he goes on a business trip as
well as to attend the exposition.
A marriage license was issued Satur
day afternoon by County Clerk Kelsay
to Bert W. Swersey and Miss Maggie
Lemay.
Charles VanDuyn the well known
Tygh Valley merchant spent yesteaday
in the city and left for Portland on
the morning train today where he will
see the sights at the exposition.
Ed. Philips was arrested yesterday
for being drunk and disorderly by
Marshal Hughes and placed in r jail to
sober up. He deposited $4 as a
guarantee of his appearance today and
was released. He failed to show up
and his bail was forfeited and turned
into the city treasury.
Mr. and Mrs. H. W. Elliot who have
been visiting relatives at Prineville
in company of Miss M. E. Percival of
McMinville passed through town yes
terday en route to their homes in the
valley.
Zachary Taylor, of Antelope, re
turned from Spokane -yesterday. He
states that while they had no snow in
the city of Spokane the storm was
general throughout that section at the
first of the week and considerable
snow fell throughout that country.
An 8 knot breeze enabled the Col
umbia and Shamrock to haye a race to
a finish today. The American yacht
showed her superior qualities through
out the entire raco and came in one
and one third-miles ahead of Sir
Thomas Lipton's Shamrock.
A meeting of the dancing club
which was organized Friday evening
will be held at the D. C. and A. C.
parlors for the purpose of electing of
ficers and completing the agreements
relative to organization. So far the
club bas almost 60 . members and
promises to be a superior organiza
tion to any that has ever been In this
city. Those who have signed the list
are requested to be on hand.
Grain haulers from Dufur and the
country south of that place are finding
much fault with the condition of the
roads. They state that if there is not
a heavy shower of rain within the
next few days they will be so badly
cut up that it will be next t3impos
sible to get their crops to market.
In former years the roads have been
greatly improved by spreading straw
on the rough places and in the holes.
This appears to be the only practical
method of improvement and there is
no time to spare in attending to this
important matter. '
Those who attended Vanity Fair at
the Vogt on Saturday evening left
much better pleased than the audi
ence that heard The Mascot put on at
the Baldwin. The Metropolitan Com
pany promised a great deal which they
did not present, while in Vanity Fair
the performance was carried through
as advertised. They had numerous
specialties which pleased everyone.
Their singing and music was good and
the performance as genteel throughout
as are shows of this class. Had thf y
charged an exorbitant price there
might heve been dissatisfaction ex
pressed, but they "gave the audience
their moneys worth and they appre
ciated it. .
The Metropolitan Dpera Company's
performance which was given at the
Baldwin on Saturday night did not
come up to the expectations of those
in attendance. This can easily be
accounted for, however, since the
Pocatella fire played havoc with their
costumes and made it-impossible for
them to put on all their cast and those
who did appear were handicapped so
that the Masct was not presented in
the eqcellent manner that it was when
here on a former occasion. They are
now on their way to Seattle where
they will replenish their wardrobes
and get in trim to appear in better
shape than ever.
A soldier of the 39th Infantry which
is stationed at present in Vancouver
struck town yesterday and proceeded
to paint things red. He was taken in
by Nightwatchman Phirman last night
and was in such a oondition this
morning that it was thought advisable
to call a doctor. It was found upon
investigating that his only trouble
was a nervous attacir which appeared
to be the "snakes" in a mild form.
The soldiers papers showed that he
was dishonorably discharged for some
breach of discipline, and as he states
he enlisted in Illinois it is likely he is
on his way home. He will be detained
here, however, until such time as he
has recovered from the present attack.
towns are flattering and we think that
on this occasion we witness a good
entertainment.

A few days since a stage with a lady
passenger inside turned over twice

A MOVE tOR GOOD ROADS.
Umatilla County lias Adopted a Feasible
Plan.
Umatilla county is in a way to secure
the finest public highways of ail the
counties of Oregon. The plan under
which the county court is handling
the road question is radically different
from that obtaining formerly, and
which is followed in other Oregon
counties.
Heretofore the old supervisor plan
was followed. Results were far from
satisfactory, and the money expended
was not bringing abcut any noticeable
improvement in the highways. There
is a statute on the books (permitting
at the option of the county court, the
establishment of a county road depart
ment, over which shall be appointed a
man who shall serve as general super
intendent of all the roads. In the
place of the giving of labor, as was
formerly the rule, a cash money tax is
imposed, this money being placed in
the road fund. All work on thecounty
roads Is paid in cash, no labor being
accepted from any person in payment
of his roai tax.
Now, when a piece of road is worked
upon, it is done in permanent form,
and will need only slight repairs from
year to year. Formerly the same
work was done over and over again,
every spring witnessing the .washing
out of the grades when the freshets
came In the fall.
Wasco county might find it advan
tageous to adopt a similar plan. There
is no county In the state that requires
more road work than this, because the
country is hilly and road building is
both expensive and difficnlt, but w'hen
well constructed will last for years,
hence If a systematic plan were adopted
under wbicn roads would be built
right they would thereafter require
but little repair and would be perman
ent for ever afterwards. It would be
well for the county court to give more
attention to road building.
His Life Was Saved.
Mr. J. E. Lilly, a prominent citizen
of Hannibal, Mo., lately had a wonder
ful deliverance from a frightful death.
In telling it he says: I was taken with
typhoid fever, that ran into pneumonia.
My lungs became hardened. "I was so
weak I couldn't even sit up in bed.
Nothing helped me. I expected to
soon die of consumption, when I heard
of Dr. King's New Discovery. One
bottle gave me great relief. I con
tinued to use it, and now am well and
strong. I aan't say too much In its
praise." This marvelous medicine is
the surest and quickest cure in the
world for all Throat and Lung Trouble.

Last week Coroner Hart, of Klicki
tat county, was called to the eastern
part of the county at a place named
Hill Peak on the Columbia river to
hold "an" Inquest over the remains of
an unknown man which was presum
ably carried down during the high
water. The remains were up on- the
bank high and dry, and from appear
ances had been there for somo time,
and as the coyotes had partially eaten
up the body it was next to impossible
to recognize who the unfortunate man
was. It is thought that it is that of
Bert- Whitney, who was drowned in
the Snake river several months ago.
As nothing further could be done the
remains were Interred where they were
found.

If the management of the Potrland
exposition would banish the sideshows,
merry-go-round and fakirs, the fair
would be better appreciated by the

people who want to see the exblbitfi to

solicitors for the side shows, etc. If

THE M1MS MURDER CASE.
Great Interest Taken in the Hatter tn
Pendleton.
Edwin L. Minis, who was indicted by
the grand jury in Pendleton on Wed
nesday for murder in the first degree,
yestereay pleaded not guilty, and
Judge Lowell set the trial for October
23.
Never has a case in cour t been the
object of deeper interest than this.
From the day of the commission of the
deed, on August 24, until the present
time, it has been the most general
topic of conversation in that town and
county, and interest has been mani
fested by all classes. The circum
stances surrounding it, the causes
leading up to the tragedy, although in
their specific relation to this case sim
ple enough, are yet of such character
ac to cause deep concern.
Preparations for the trial show that
a great legal battle is to begin when
the presiding judge calls the case.
Accoruiog to common report there
will be eminent 'legal talent engaged
on both sides. The attorneys which
are accredited to the state are District
Attorney Heny J. Bean, Judge J. J.
Balleray, of Pendleton, Judge Henry
McGinn and John M. Gearin, of Port
land, and for the defense will appear
Colonel J. H. Raley, Charles H. Carter,
Judge James A. Fee, of Pendleton, and
Judge W. J. McSween, of Newport,
Tenn., an uncle of the defendent.
Self-defense will be the claim of the
defendent, in justification of the act
of killing Miller, which act it will be
admitted Mims performed. It has been
intimated that from the fact of two
autopsies having been performed oyer
the body of Miller, some sensational
features may be looked for during the
trial, physicians perhaps coming into
conflict over the indications as to the
manner of the death, and the course
of the bullet. '

WEARY OF THE PEN.
Wardner Dynamiters Hake Another
Attempt to Escape.
Last Tuesday evening a suspicious
noise about the storeroom at the state
pen attracted the attention of one of
the deputies. And examination : fol
lowed, when It was found that the
prisoners had dug another channel
about 60 feet long and were only
waiting for the opportunity to escape
which the coming darkness would
give them. A deep trench had been
dug on that side, by the authorities of
the pen considered most favorable to
the escape of the prisoners, but this
time thy tcok' a different direction,
having the outer end of the tunnel
under the floor of the storeroom. It
was absolutely completed, and a few
minutes' work in the middle of thn
night would have sufficed Jto have
cleared the earth away from the corner
of the building which would have
allowed every man to escape. As a
preliminary on the part of the authori
ties they deluged the burrow with
water, and the next morning the
prisoners were quite willing to fill it
up under the instructions of the
authorities. This Is the second
attempt, and a close watch will here
after be kept on the inmates, about
40 of whom will be taken to the federal
court at Moscow the latter part of
next week. Wardner News.
Necessarily the deck of a vessel at
sea offers a much less satisfactory plat
form from which to shoot than the
solid foundation provided in a land fort,
since even when the ocean is calmest
the vessels must constantly roll from
side to side. Theoretically the best
time to fire would be at the moment be
tween the rolls, when the deck of the
ship is perfectly level, and in a general
way it may be said that an attempt is
made to do the shooting at that in
stant. It is practically impossible,
however, to fire invariably when the
decks are horizontal. No matter how
careful the gunner, the piece is almost
always exploded just before or just
after the proper instant, says the Pw
York Press.
The American practice, both in the
army and navy, has always been to
shoot low and always save ammunition
until it was possible to use it effective
lv. In the navv the tradition to shoot
low has crystalized into a standing rule,
unwritten, indeed, but none the less re
ligiously observed, and its wisdom has
been proved on more than one occasion
of great importance.
The precise form of this unwritten
naval rule is to "wait for the downward
roll." This is the converse of the maxim
obtaining in the British navy that it is
best to take advantage of the "upward
roll," which has been observed almost
from the beginning of naval fighting by
the gunners on English ships.
This was rendered the more certain
from the fact that the spherical projec
tiles then in use would ricochet alonr
the surface of the waves if they struck
the water exactly as a stone will skip
along the top of a pond when properly
thrown from the hand of a small boy.

In the Iowa it may almost be said
that nothing is done by hand except the
opening and closing of throttles and
pressing of electric buttons. Her guns
are loaded, trained and fired, her am
munition hoisted, her turrets turned
her torpedoes mechanisms of then
selves are tubed and ejected, the ship
steered, her boats hoisted out and in.
the interior lighted and ventilated, the
great searchlight operated and even or
ders transmitted from bridge or con
ning tower to all parts by mechanical
appliances. Surely no more striking
view than this of the development of
35 years could be afforded, says Cas
6ier's Magazine.
This growth of complexity and elab
oration and this almost infinite multi
plication of parts and devices have en
tailed upon the naval architect and
constructor demands and difficulties
never dreamed of in the earlier days.
The staff required to design and eon
struct an Iowa is multiplied in number
and the complexity of its organization
is augmented as compared with that re
quired for the design and construction
of the New Ironsides almost indefinitely.
Similar conditions apply to command
and management, so that while the
building of a modern battleship entails
enormous work and responsibility on
the naval architect, constructor and
staff, the effective use of her as a tool
in the trade of war presents an equal
variety and intricacy of problems to
indents of the art of naval warfare.
MARRIAGE CUSTOMS.

only ac the MIDWAY.
Until the middle of the sixteenth
century Christian marriage consisted
of two distinct ceremonies the be
trothal or espousals, which were fol
lowed at a considerable interval, some
times extending to two years, by the
benediction or complete marriage.
Many modern marriage customs are
relics of primitive times. For instance,
the throwing of old shoes after the
newly married pair is a remnant of
marriage by capture, when, the bride's
relations threw stones and other mis
siles after the bridegroom as he rode
off with his captured bride. The honey-,
moon is a relic of the enforced seclusion
in which a captured bride and her cap-
turer lived arter the bridegroom had
secured his wife; and the traditional
hatred of mothers-in-law is merely a
survival of the old feud between the
bridegroom and the bride's family.
Groomsmen are another remnant of
marriage by capture. They were origi
nally the bride's bodyguard when
she was pursued by her bridegroom
and his friends. Then later they used
to be attached to the bride's procession,
and had nothing to do with the bride
groom. .Because their omce was re
duced to a sinecure, they were armed
with lances, and carried lighted torches
for these captures were generally at
tempted at night.

How Visit Portland.
The city of Portland is always an
interesting point to visit, and just now
it is particularly so.
Dewey's famous dispatch boat, the
McCulloch, whldh fired 'the first shut
against the Spaniards at Manila, is in
Portland harbor, and is open to all
visitors. The mammoth steamship
Lennox is also in the harbor, being
refitted as a transport to go to the
Philippines. The torpedo boat des
troyer Goldsboro is moored near the
Madison street bridge, so that all can
see her. She was built at Portland and
cost $285,000.
The great exposition is now running
at full blast, and will not close until
the 28th. It is a wounderful enterprise,
and furnishes food for instruction and
recreation. The prise punkins and
prise potatoes and golden grains and
everything of that kind are all there,
besides a real production of the beauti
ful, Multnomah falls, but the amuse
ment feature is not neglected. There
is a splendid full military band, secured
at a cost of $6000, which gives grand
concerts afternoon ... and evening.
There are thrilling trapeze turns and
astonishing aerial acts and many other
attractings well worth feeing, and the
price of admission is put down to 25
cents
