v sued at Portland. It contains a direc-
1 ' . tory pf all mining brokers, mining

v Now that mininsr is attracting more
- - attention in Oregon than ever before,
' the new publlcatiou. Mines and Metals.

. n The party given by the Columbia

For the past week there has been no
: activity In the wheat market here.
. .' . The best offers for No. 1 were 46 cents,

r" ' The terrible tragedy that occurred
. ' here this morning was the fruits of a
- too indulgent community. For years
Brown has been in (the habit of abus
" ', ing his wife whenever under the in-
fluence of liquor. Had he beea called
' to account for his misdeeds years ago,
r-r he would probably have not been so
bold as to attempt to take the life of
-. his wife.
The funeral of Mrs. Davis took place
! , yesterday at 2 o'clock in the afternoon
from the family residence. The

.' ' , carried to the Odd Fellows cemetery,
where the burial services of the Rath
' : bone Sisters were read at the grave.
-. The brutal assault mad6 by W. R.
: Brown on his wife this morning has
raised general indignation, and were
this not a cool and deliberate eommun
ity. Brown's body would be ornament
. 4 ". ing a lamp post instead of his being
, comfortably housed in the county jail.
' , " But better judgment prevails, and tbe
law will be allowed to take its course,
-Thursday night, Billy Hoering was
. exercising his trotter on Union ave-
''- nue, and when attempting to turn into
. ' ; Ninth street, the horse climbed a rock
pile back of Phillips' store, leaving
- Bijly in the street. Tbe animal
caped,pnd Billy hunted all night and
v until late yesterday afternoon before
" i he found it tangled up in a picket
. ', . fence near the old garrison.' The ani
mal was not injured, neither was Billy,
but the cart was a total wreck.
An evidence of what can be grown
: on Wa9co county Soil without irriga'
,i tion has been placed on exhibition at
. N. Whealdon's office by W. H. Sharp.
It - comprises sugar beets, several dif
v ferent varieties of carrots, parsnips
'.' and rutabagas, also some stalks of corn.
The vegetables were grown on Mr.
, Sharp's farm near Five Mile and had
' no irrigation, and Mr. Sharp says such
specimens can be raised any year on
the up-land in this locality if proper
. attention is given to cultivation.

The fruit growers there harvested
light crops, but they are getting fancy
prices for their apples, hence are doing
well. Their best grade of apples were
selling in Portland last week at $2.50 a

high price.
Some days ago tbe Times-Moun
taineer made a mistake in mentioning
the place where, the citizens hoisted a
pig in celebration of the Boers' victory
over the British. " It was Hood River
instead of Dufur where the celebration
occurred. How the mistake happened
Is unexplainable. It was one of those
little errors that would slip through a
paper unnoticed by proof readers.
There, is considerable encourage
ment for those who have undertaken
to secure a chemical engine and fire
alarm system for The Dalles in .the
action of tbe Wasco Warehouse Com

was Mrs. Davis, who kept the accounts
during ber husband's absence, and she
having died, there was nothing left
but for the grand jury to return not a
true bill. '
' A FIENDISH ASSAULT.
W. B. Brown attempts to Harder His
Wife, While Intoxicated.
Onn of the worst cases of human de
pravity ever known in The Dalles oc
curred about 6 A. M. Satu day,
when VV. R. Brown attempted to mur
der his wife with a knife. He bad
been out carousing all night and re
turned to his home on Twelfth street
about 6 o'clock in the morning in an
Intoxicated cooditior. Entering tbe
bed room whore his wife and two small
children lay asleep he ordered ber to
get up. Mrs. Brown obeyed, and no
sooner had she arose than be knocked
her down with his fist. When she re
covered from the stroke he ordered
her to get Or akfast. Mrs. Brown
arose and went into the kitchen and
proceeded to l,uild a fire, when the
brute again assaulted ber, using a
knife, stabbing her tbreo times in the
right shoulder above the collar bone,
once in the back of tbe left shoulder
and once in the back of tbe head.
Neighbors hearing Mrs. Brown's
screams came to her rescue, else the
fiend would probably have finished his
hellish undertaking.
Those who came to the assistance of
the unfortunate woman called Dr.
Geisendorffer, who found the wounds
as above stated, and reported them not
necessarily fatal, though the knife
with which they were inflicted, a Si
Inch clasp knife, was dirty and blood-
poisoning may set in, which would
likely cause death. One wound in the
shoulders entered the lungs, while the
Others were quite deep.
After Brown had been made to de
sist from his terriole assault, he went
to bed a3 if nothing had happened,
and was found asleep when Deputy
Sheriff Sexton went to arrest him
few hours alter the trouble. Me was
too much intoxicated when taken to
jail to discuss tbe occurance, and about
tbe only statement he would make was
that he did not regret what he had
done.
This shocking affair is the result of
an unhappy marriage of an illy mated
couple. Brown is - some 50 years of
age, and has several grown children
by a former wife, while Mrs. Brown
is several years his junior, and Is a
bright, sprightly .woman. Their mar
ried life sjas not been congenial, be be
ing jealous of her, and on frequent
occasion when returning home drunk
has abused her shamefully, satisfying
his temper by giving her severe beat
ings. They have two bright iittle girls,
the oldest about six years of age
Brown is a laborer, and to -all appear
ances has been, since his residence in
The Dalles, an honest, hard working
fellow, but at times he gets drunk, and
when intoxicated is rather quarrel
some. - The occurence has caused the
severest indignation, and the brute of
a man will find but little mercy at
the hands of the jurv before whom he
Is called to account for his unnatural
deed.

An Instructive Sermon.
Rev. Mr. Hawk, pastor of the M. E
church, has begun a series of dis-
cources that are attracting more than
ordinary attention, for he has taken
up what might be termed practical
Christianity. Sunday the auditor
ium of tbe church was filled to its
fullest capacity to listen to his dis
course upon the subject, "Arm Cba'r
of the Fireside," which the speaker
applied to the position held by the
husband and father. His theme . is
that the father, however much a mpn
of affairs and whatever bis business
cares, owes as great, a duty to the fam
ily in a moral sense as does the mother;
that the duty extends beyond the
sphere of providing the plain necessi
ties of life, and extends to the moral
training and care of the children. His
discourse was indeed a practical one,
and if his teachings were followed the
world would bo better. Next Sunday
evening, Mr. Hawk's subject will be
"Rocking Chair by tbe Fireside," and
his remarks will be devoted to the
duties of the mother.

Thousands of Chrysanthemums.
Few residents of Tbe Dalles who
have not visited the Tackman green
bouses have any idea of tbe magnl
tude of that establishment or the beau
ties to be seen there. , There are four
large green bouses, with a floor' space
of 7200 square feet, that are literally
filled with plants In all stages' of
growth. At this season of the year
tbe house devoted to chrysanthemums
Is the most attractive, for those beau
tlful winter bloomers are just now at
their best, and present a sight that one
could feast his eyes on for hours,
There are thousands of them and of
every color imaginable, and in size
they are giants. The other houses
are devoted to the starting and crow.
ing of choice plants, of which there
are now several thousand in all stages,
just coming out of the ground, and
from that to full bloom. The entire
establishment is heated with hot wa
ter, and is so arranged that an eyen
temperature can be maintained all the
year round. It Is an establishment of
which The Dalles may well be proud

In the mythology of Ancient Greece
Hymen, the god of marriage, was the half
brother of Esculapius, the god of medi
cine. The ancients believed that mar
riage and health
should go to
gether, and as
a result the
Greeks of that
time have
ever since
begn looked
upon as types
ot puysical
perfection. ,
Sickly moth
ers cannot
bear healthy children. The prospective
mother should use every precaution to
preserve and foster her - health. Not
alone for the sake of the little one to
come but for her own sake. A perfectly
healthy woman is in no danger and in
little pain at ner tune ot trial.
ere must be due preparation for
this time. Nature makes the prepara
tory period three-fourths of a year and
women who take the Hint from nature
and use the time properly need have no
fears of the outcome. Dr. Pierce's Fa
vorite Prescription is a medicine designed
to cure all distinctly feminine ailments
and taken during the period of gestation
it renders, childbirth easy, safe and com
paratively painless.
It is the invention of Dr. R. V. Pierce,
of Buffalo, N. Y., a regularly graduated
physician and skilled specialist in the
cure of all diseases of woman.
Mrs. Orrin Stiles, of Downing. Dunn Co.. Wis..
writes : "I cannot praise your ' Favorite Pre
scription enough, sor I have not been as well for
five years as I now am. In July last I bad a baby
boy, weight n lbs, I mi only sick a short time,
and since I got up have not bad one sick day."
Sick women can consult ur. .fierce Dy

strictly private ana sacredly confidential.
Designing men work on women's
feelings, by advising women to "write
to a woman who understands woman's
needs." It is useless to seek advice about
disease of any woman who is not a phy
sician. So far as known no qualified
woman physician is connected with anv
proprietary mcdifine establishment.
WILL HAVE A SEWER SYSTEM.
This Is Determined By the Council Cows
May Kun at Large and Cyclists May
Hide on sidewalks.
An important special session of tbe
city council was held Monday at
which were present Mayor Kuek and
Couuoilmen Keller, Clough, Johns,
Gunninit. Stephen!,Johnston, Shackel
ford and Willsou.
The first matter considered . was the
proposition of opening Federel street,
and as thejbidH ruhmitted for doing the
work were considered too high, It was
ordered tbe marshal employ men and
put the street in good condition as a
public thoroughfare, work on some to
begin Wednesday Nov. 15. The marshal
wes also authorized to rent tbe city
pest house if possible.
Ai a previous meeting a petition bad
been received by B F. Laugblin and
others asking to put a sidetrack in on
Second street and tbe matter was re
ferred to tbe judiciary committe which
reported favorably, and it was ordered
that said petition be granted.
Tbe matter of a new . sewerage
system was next considered, the re
consideration of a resolution hereto
fore passed by the council having
been, at last meeting, made a special
order of business for this meeting, and
on motion reconsideration of the reso
lution was lost. Thereupon Obuncil
man Gunning introduced a resolution
providing for tbe running of a branch
sewer down Second street which car
ried by a vote of 8 to 1. Tbe former
resolution provided for the running of
a branch sewer through private pro
perty, where as the present resolution
calls for tbe construction of a sewer
down Second street, on property
owned by the city. The recorder was
also authorized to advertise the loca
tion of the new proposed sewer at the

A Pretty Tribute to Woman
The following is from the editorial
columns of the East Oregenlan:
Admiral Dewey states positively that
he will not be a candidate for the prea
idency under any circumstances. That
settles the Dewey boom for good. The
admiral has destroyed all political am'
bition, If he ever had any, by being
married to the "most charming little
woman in the world." He Is to be for
given; other men have sacrificed every
thing for tbe woman of their choice.
And why shouldn't they? Is there
anything on earth conducive to more
happiness and more entitled to man's
admiration and devotion? To the wo
man of our choice we all can say with
Shakespeare: '
"Thou. Julia, tbou bast metamorobos'd me:
Made me neglect my studies, lose my time,
war witn good counsel, se
naught;
Made wit, with musing weak,
set tbe world at
heartsick wiih
tnougnt."
Until, in the language of Marlowe,
we have said to her;
'Come live with me, and be my love.
And we will all the pleasures prove
That hills and valleys, dales and fields.
Woods or sleepy mountain yields."
And Dewey, great as he is, is sub
ject to the same influences as other,
lesser, men.

Eastern Oregon Sugar.
Despite the fact that the state legis
lature at its last session refused to
encourage the culture of sugar beets,
by turning down the bounty proposi
tion urged by the growers 'of the
Grande Ronde valley, and the further
fact that there is considerable of a de
crease in acreage this year, as com
pared with last, tbe sugar output of
the La Grande factory will exceed that
of last year by at least 50 per cent.
The acreage has been reduced from
3600 to 2300. The yield per acre, how
ever, has nearly doubled since last
year. ; This year the average crop is
from seven to eight tons per acre.
Last year the average was four and a
half tons.
The factory is still running full blast,
employing about 120 men, and convert
ing 400 tons of beets into sugar daily.
It is estimated that the entire beet
crop will be harvested and ground up
in two more weeks. The total ton
n age in beets this year will approxi
mate 14,000 and the sugar output 3,500,'
000 pounds.

SHOOTING
STARS.
Myriads of celestial Visitors Are Due on
November 14 and 15.
' If tbe predictions of astronomers are
correct, tne heavens on the evenings
of November 14 and 15 will present an
Inspiring and dazzling display of me
teors. Astronomers are looking for
ward to tbe event with great interest;
and every preparation is being made
in the observatories of the world with
a view of obtaining a more complete
knowledge of the phenomena. By
means of careful telescopic observa
tions and elaborate photographic re
cords to be made in various locations.
it is hoped that we may learn many
new things about these strange celes
tial visitors from tbe unknown realms
of space into the atmosphere of the
planet In which wo live.
No such a display as Is expected has
been seen since 1866. All persons who
watch the heavens and gaze in admir
ing wonder on the glittering star?, see
frequently apprrentiy. runaway stars,
dashing among their fixed fellows,
leaving trails of light behind, and then,
usually in a second or two, disappear
ing ' completely. These stars seem to
have shot out from a previously fixed
position witb a tremendous force,whch
makes the watcher think of the action
of a great cannon, aud hence the
name "shooting stars" is given. The
astronomer knows that these are ' not
stars at all. Real stars are giant and
distant suns, shining by their own
lights. These are cold, dark bodies,
which become hot and vislole when
they strike the air surrounding the
earth. The velocity of their motion is
about 25 miles a second, and when
they dash into the earth's atmosphere
the friction of the air produces a tem
perature of many thousand degrees,
The result is that as these bodies are
very small tbey are completely evap
orated or burned up. Sometimes quite
large bodies are able to resist this tre
mendous frictlonal heating and their
residues reach the earth.

CALIFORNIA JACK RABBITS.
Those of the Sontherst Fart of
Htato Are the Lara-eat Im
Bxtstea.ee. Ji
the
The jack rabbits of southern Cali
fornia are the biggest rabbit in exist
ence. They are as fleet aa the wind,
and one will sit still on its form or by
the roadside until you have almost
grabbed it by its mule-like ears, but be
fore you can dose your fingers on it
there will be no rabbit there. If you
took, say 40 yards ahead, you will see
what you think is another rabbit,hum.ped
up in a fluffy , bunch, ' waiting for
you in the same way. But it won't
be auother rabbit. It will be the same
one, it having covered all that dis
tance and settled down again before
you have hardly missed it from where
it sat first.
These big rabbits are as swift and
sudden as the fleas that swarm on them
as soon as summer comes. The rabbit
are fat then, but these fleas are so
thick on them, and are so ravenous that
they actually reduce the long-eared
four-footed jumper to a skeleton by
the time the fall rain sets in. If it
wasn't for those regular fall rains the
fleas would be of great service to us
in destroying the rabbit pest, for tbe
rabbet could not withstand tbe
assaults of their Insatiable parasites
many days longer. But the rains are
certain, and they are fata to the fleas.
The water kills the fleas, and the rab
bits pitch in again on our vineyards,
and orchards and grain with sharpened
appetites. Notwithstanding the thou
sands of jack rabbits we slaughter is
the spring, enough escape to keep tba
supply big enough to make it necessary
for the slaughter of other thousands
the next spring. It' is simply impos
sible to exterminate them, they are
such sure and persistent breeders. So
we may expect to have the fun of jack
rabbit round-ups every year aa long
as we raise fruit In Fresno county and
parts adjacent.

Saturday Sheriff Kelly received
a telephone message frott Thomas
Burges at Bakeoven, stating that his
store at that place was robbed some
time during the night of between $50 J
and 8100. When the store was closed
in the evening the money was put in a
cigar box "and set to one side, the
customary method of caring for the
store receipts. The box contained a
820 gold piece, 84 or $5 in nickels and
dlffles. some silver and several bills.
Tbe robbery was evidently committed
by some oca who was acquainted with

knew just where to fins the money and
how to open tbe store without at J

APPROPRIATED HIS CLOTHES.
But the Soldiers Gave Them Bsvclc
and Cheered for the Tous
Correspondent.
Here is one to the credit of Bichard
Harding Davis. After the battle
heavy traveling bag or trunk was found
with no owner at hand to claim it, says
a Nashville American correspondent.
Several negroes of the Tenth cavalry
regulars opened it and found a variety
of fancy shirts, trousers, stockings and
such like. These they immediately con
fiscated and began to bedeck them
selves with.
Shortly after Bichard Harding Davis
came upon the scene from another part
of the field. He saw he had been de
spoiled, but entered no complaint. An
officer of the regiment, however, began
to make inquiries. He asked where
the clothes came from and was told.
Turning to Mr. Davis he inquired
"Are these your clothes?" Mr. Davis
bowed In the affirmative. "Then, men,
you should be doubly ashamed of your
conduct. Vou not only did wrong in
opening the trunk at ull, but you have
made a brave man your victim. When
we were fired upon from ambush by
the Spaniards Davis here was right in
front of our column pointing out the
Spaniards for us to shoot at. A sol
dier was shot down by his side. He
picked up the gun and began firing im
mediately. He has just returned from
the pursuit. Take off those garments.
Mr. Davis, in behalf of my soldiers,
apologize for their thoughtless qqw
duct. . .

Harding Davis, which the big, broad-
