peculiar mistake, says the Albany

an operation, which will be performed
" at the proper time.
In a decision at Albany Judge Boise
held that foreign loan associations
doing business in Oregon made illegal
' '; loans in that they are usurious where
more than ten per cent interest is
charged in the way of interest. This
. " will affect a large amount of business
' of these companies in the state and
. ' may force them out of business here.
A typographical errorin yesterday's
' Issue made an article say the ferriage
. across the river and return was 50
cents for footmen when it should have
Vi been 25 cents. The error, however,
P does not lessen the force of the argu
S ment In favor of getting a reduction
' for laborers on the portage road who
may want to come to The Dalles to
''. trade. " '
' A pew sewer system below the bluff
:ls now a certainty. The plan of the

Indians in The Dalles.

With such splendid weather, as has
favored this section the past two
months, with such -splendid prospects

most popular rector St. Paul's has ever

Tbe striking of artesian water in
the coal prospect bole which Seufert
Bros, are sinking above town throws a
gleam of light upon the problem of re'
plenishing the city water supply.
There being artesian water at a depth
of 90 feet on the beach indicates that
it is general all over this section, and
it possibly could be found by sinking
down on the hills south of town. If so
we would haye an endless supply ot
good, pure water. It would be money
well spent for the water commission to
sink a well on some elevated point.
At 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon
Mr. Wayne Roberson, of White Sal
mon, and Miss Effie Evans, of this

People of Eastern Oregon do not
generally complain at too much rain,
but they are getting decidedly tired of
the falling weather that has prevailed

enough rainfall for all purposes this

good thing.

Yesterday G. W. Phelps, known to
his many friends in Tbe Dalles as
"Bert,"was married to Miss Cora Hart,
at the residence of W. R. Ellis, in Hep-
pner. Mr. Phelps is a rising lawyer,
and during his many years of resident
in The Dalles won the respect and
friendship of all. He certainly is
worthy of drawing the grand prise in
the matrimonial lottery, and those who
know his bride say that he has.
xne jonn usborn, arrested some
time since for housebreaking, is not
John Osborn, the engineer, who has
been a resident of The Dalles the past
20 years. This John is not the kind
of a man who burglarizes houses, but
is a straight-forward engineer earning
for what he gets. Mr Osborn has been
at Mr. Farrington's the past three
weeks setting up a boiler and engine,
and has just returned from that place,
It has been generally supposed that
Ah. Gume, the Chinaman sent to the
penitentiary for robbing the First
National bank here nine years ago,
and who would be a material witness
against Tim Choon, was dead, but to
day Sheriff Kelley received a message
from the authorities in Portland stat
ing that they had located Ah Gume,
Now that Tim Choon is in custody at
Walla Walla, and since the best wit
ness against him has been located,
tbe authorities can work up a good
case against him.

Sunday night, and got home last even'
ing. He says he thinks both Mr. Hun
terand Mr. Mller were killed instantly

groans that were supposed to have
been uttered by Mr. Hunter were from
tne oraKeman, uerzinger, wbo was
pinned under the wreck, and who was
not taken out until about 3 o'clock
Monday mornlne. Only one person
could work at a time in rescuing tbe
man and a dltcn bad to be dug to get
him from under the englae.
The case of the state against Frank
McDaniel for the murder of Clara
Fitch, is on trial in Portland. All
yesterday forenoon was taken up in
the eelection of one juror. When a
jury of 12 men will be secured Is a
question whicb is difficult to deter
mine. The case bids fair to be one of
tbe most stubbornly contested that
has ever been tried in the state.
Counsel for the state rely solely on
circumstantial evidence, while it is
understood the defense will be able to
prove pretty clearly the impossibility
of McDaniel committing the crime.
Two years ago the Ashland fruit-
preserving plant put up 3000 cans and
dried 12,000 pounds of fruit.- This year

tomatoes, all of which were sold in
advance; and its dried fruit output was
25,000 pounds of prunes, 15,0u0 pounds
of peaches, and 10,000 pounds of apples
all of which has been sold in Montana.
The Dalles needs a duplicate of the
CONSUMPTION.
The germs of consumption are every
where. You may breathe them in with
the air, drink them with water, eat them
with your food. They are not dangerous
ii juu arc in per
fect health but if
you have a slight
cold, or cough, or
ii you nave mner
ited weak lungs,
or if you are weak
and run-down gen
erally look out !
Once consump
tion gets a strong
foothold it is al
most impossible to
dislodge it The time to cure it is at the
beginning or before it starts. If you are
run-down build yourself up. Make
every tissue so strong and well that con
sumption germs cannot find a foothold.
Fill your body with rich, red blood
build up strong, healthy flesh put your
digestive system in perfect order. Don't
drag along half dead. You may be well
as well as not. The following letter from
Mrs. Jennie Dingman, of Van Buren,
Kalkaska Co., Mich., will tell you how
to do it. She says: "Before I took
Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical
Discovery
I was hardly able to do my work at all:
had pain in my left side and back, and
had headache all the time. I tried your
medicine and it helped me. Last spring
I had a bad cough; got so bad I had to
be in bed all the time. My husband
thought I had consumption. We
thought we would try Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery and before I
had taken one bottle the cough stopped
and I have since had no signs of its
returning."

the fruit growers of this section are

Last Saturday afternoon Helen and
Grace Peters entertained a number of
their-little friends, tbe members of tbe
three juvenile classes in the Episcopal
Sunday school. Some 25 little folks
assembled and spent the afternoon in
childish games in which all entered
with the customary vivacity of youth.
One of the most enjoyable features was
the lunch. When all the children
were seated, each was given a pie, and
told to not eat the crust, but to look
inside and take what was to be found
there. On opening the pies each one
was found to contain some present
dolls for the girls, and appropriate gifts
for the boys. Helen and Grace proved
them selves to be splendid little enter-
tai "J, and their guests were unani
moii- in pronouncing the party a
glorious success.

The people of Walla Walla are not
satisfied with being side tracked by
the O. R. & N. Co. In being scratched
off the main line between Portland
and Spokane. The Union say:
The change of time on tbe O. R. &
N. has been the topic of conversation
in Walla Walla the past few days an 3
the general sentiment is that the city
is being treated shabbily by being
placed on a "jerk water" line. All
assert that a night service on tbe
presentschedule on that road is bad
enough without a change to a night
service on a local between Dayton and
Wallula, this city being a way station,
It is claimed that the vast amount of
trade that the O. R. & N. has had and
is obtaining from this section is
worthy of some consideration.
Tbe road is putting on tbe new
schedule so as to save two hours be
tween Spokane and Portland, mainly to
accommodate the Great Northern in
its trunsconti Denial business, u. trade
that is insignificant compared with
the heavy hauling from this section,
not particularly in passengers, but in
freight. All this has bearing upon
the question and should bo fully con-
sidered by the road before concluding
to sidetrack Walla Walla.
Tbe matter is considered of such
vast importance to this city that tbe
Commercial club has taken a lively
interest in the question.

School Closing Exercise.
Saturday evening, Nov. 25, marked
the closing exercises of tbe fall term
in district No. 13, near. Mr. Benson's
place on five-Mile. Miss Nona Rowe,
teacher. A large and attentive audi
ence waB present, many coming from
town and a distance, in spite of tbe bad
traveling. The stage was neatly dec
orated and presented a pleasing ap
pearance. While not making any
particular mention of the speakers,
the efforts of the pupils Jand ' others
was marked by spirit and ease of de
livery, each doing the part allotted to
him well. All went to show the
careful training received from their in
structor. In fact too much praise can
not be given Mi?s Rowe, and the dis
trict was very fortunate in having
such an excellent teacher.. The hearty
applause showed how the audience ap
preciated th exercises.
After tbe close ot the exercises, a
good cause was helped the means of
having a school library by auction
ing lunch baskets. Bids went high by
the good natured audience and there
was much amusement on opening the
baskets to see who '.he fair partner
was to be in partaking of an excellent
repast. Twenty-five dollars was real
ized from the sale, and with ten dol
lars received from tbe district, a good
start is made for a library.

A FATAL RAILROAD WRECK.
Engine and two Tars Go Off the Track
Near Booster Bock.
A serious wreck occurred on the O.
R. & N. line near Rooster Rock, about
six miles this side of Trou dale Sunday
night, In which Engineer Robert Hud
t3r and Fireman George Miler were
killed. They were pulling train No. 2,
the east-bound passenger, when the
engine ran iuio a slide and left tbe
track, carrying with it the, baggage
and mail cars, but fortunately the
coupling broke ahead of the first coach
leaving all of the pupspnger cars on
the track, thereiore the only injury to
the passengers vas from the jar caused
by the sudden stopping of tbe train.
When tbe enuiua struck the slide
and left the track it rolled aomn dis
tance down a steep bank to the edpe
of the river, and both the engineer
and firrman were caught underneath
It. Mr. Miler was killed instantly but
Mr. Hunter lived some time after tbe
accident.
The scene of the accident is one of
the mcst dangerous places on the road,
a steep, rocky mountain on one side,
the river close to the track on tbe
other. The recent rains had loosened
the soil on tbe mountain, which slid
down completely covering ths track,
and tbe night being po dark that tbe
engineer could not bee beyond the
light thrown from the headlight on
the engine, he could not discover tbe
obstruction in time to avoid runing
into it.
Both men killed are well known in
The Dalles, they having resided here
for a number of years, though at pre
sent their families live in Portland.
Mr Hunter leaves a widow and two
children, Ethel and Robert, aged about
twelve and-nineyears respectively, and
Mr. Miler leaves a wifi.
Both were members of the A. O. U.
W., Mr. Hunter holding his member
ship in Portland and Mr. Miler belong
ing to Temple lodge of this city.

Are Included. S
The employes in the office of the ap
praiser of customs were busy examin
ing a shipment of Chinese medicines
and the place smelled like a fertilizer
factory, says the Portland Oregonian.
There were the usual number of dried
snakes, the looks, of which would be
certain to kill or cure any intelligent
patient. There were also a number oi
plump lizards, spitted on rods and ex
panded with strips of bamboo until
they resembled tennis rackets; a lot
of "sea horses," a long, slender fish.
with a head like a horse and a prehen
sile tail; bundles of centipedes, flat
tened out and pasted on sticks; cans
full of preesrved pollywogs and angle
worms, and many other curious pana
ceas, each of which smelled worse than
the other. There were pills as large
as 1 prunes, handsomely decorated;
roots and "yarbs" of many kinds,
which would paralyze a Quaker doc
tor, and boxes and bottles of unknown
mixtures which would paralyze any
body. The 40 separate and distinct
smells of the town, of Cologne are noth
ing compared to the odors arising from
that $100 worth of Chinese medicines,
which made some of the men handling
the stuff sick. Foul smell seems to
be a requisite in most medicines, and
if the beneficial effects of medicines
are proportionate to tbe odor, the med
icines of the Chinese should be the beat
in the world.

Fllterlnsr Milk Before Veins;.
Central depots where milk Is received
and filtered before being taken to the
consumer are now a feature of several
European cities. Large cylindrical ves
sels are divided horizontally near their
center by compartment containing
sand of three successive degrees of fine
ness, ihe coarsest being the lowest, and
as the milk arriving from Jhe country Is
poured through a pipe into the bottom
of these vessels it rises through the
sand filter and is run off by an overflow
pipe into a cool cistern, from which it
is drawn directly into locked cans for
distribution. The sand is renewed each
time the filter is used. -

INTO AN OPEN SWITCH.
The West Bondd Passenger J lad m Nar
row Kscapu.
Another of those fortnnate accidents
has occurred on the O. R. & N., where
the lives of a train .oad of passengers
were endangered, but nobody was
hurt, the only datnaee being a loco
motive killed and a stock car badly
wrecked. Friday afternoon pas
senger train No. 1 was coming in on
time, with Engineer Barrett, one of
the most reliable engineers on tho
road, at the throttle. The train was
moving at a speed of about 12 miles an
hour, and although Mr. Barrett could
see for some distance ahead that the
switch above tbe scales, about half a
mile east of the depot, was open, he
couid not stop the train before he
dashed into the rear end of a freight
that was being made up on the siding,
an empty stock car was on the rear
end of the freight, and into this Mr.
Barret's engine plunged, the pilot
reaching the middle of the car before
the train came to a standstill. The
stock car was broken into splinters,
and the engine was so badly damaged
that it had to be taken to the shops at
Albina for repairs. The accident was
caused by the carelessness of a switch
man by the name of Martin who had
been oiling the switch and left it open
so that a train coming in on the main
track would be run into a siding. .
The passengers who were on the
train and the railroad company may
congratulate themselves that the acci
dent was no worse, -for had not the
engineer seen the open switch and re
versed the engine wben he did, there
would have been a fearful wreck.

LOCKED IN DEATH.
Courageous Buck Deer Whose FUres
Conflict Often Reault

Althoueh it is generally known how
the buck beer fight and' how sometimes
in consequence their antlers Decome in
extricably enarKlcd. there are few per
sons who have seen them when so inter
locked, says the New York Times.
t. ortnin seasons of the year when
the does are breeding their young the
bucks are both very fierce and coura
geous in their protection of them and the
approach of another buck is a signal for
battle. In these conflicts it frequently
happens that one or the other is killed
hprA nre occasional instances in
the course of these srtruggles of the
.4i. lipr-nmin? interlocked between
each other, which results in the death
of both animals. One instance is en
record where three pairs of horns were
found thus entangled together, the
skulls and skeletons lying as proof of
, iiiMnllv outcome of the battle.
It is in October and November that
the buck becomes so combative and in
a few weeks thereafter he loses his
IppV condition, sheds his horns and re
treats to the denser forest.
