It ended something like (his: "And I'll charge you half a dollar. lhe groom was rattled about this time, and thinking he had to put up the four bits, went dowu in bis pockets for his sack ; but lo 1 he had changed his pants and hadn't nary red. The "parson" was also some what rattled, and in his excitement forgot to kisn the ' bride. The ladies present all pressed forward and showered kisses and congratulations, and when the most bashful among the men folks stepped up and kissed tbe blushing bride, it brougt down tbe house. After the wedding a bounteous lunch wns served, and at a late hour the guests departed, voting this the most enjoyable wedding ever attended. The bride was the recipient, besi leg other presouts, of a huudeome rocking chair, presented by tbe guests of the evening and others who had failed to attend on account of the raging snow storm and the slufh and mud in tbe roads. Mr. and Mrs. E. D. Culkius have long been numbered among the worthy citizeus of Hood River valley. Mr. Calkins was born in Wood county, Oui, June 21, 1843.

This ended his career as a soldier at tbe front, though while lying in tbe held hospital, with his leg shattered, bo shamed and drove stragglers nt the point of his musket hack to the commands they had cow ardly nbandoue I.

Ou tbe steep hill near the Button place tbe harness became dis arranged aud tbe wagon was loosened from tbe horses. The vehicle ran back and struck the unfortunate Omy who was behind it and knocked him down. Two wheels passed over his body and be was so badly injured that be had to be taken to the hospital. After an examination by a physician it was discovered that be waa in a critical condition and be waa removed to Portland and placed in a hospital th-re. Last Saturday a Chinaman who suc ceeded Omy as driver, met with a similar accident ou almost tbe same spot, but was more fortunate. Not having tad the wagou repaired, he tried to drive down tbe hill just this side of Rocky Point with tbe horsa hitched to the axle. As there was no way of keeping the wagon back when once started, it plunged into the horse, tearing it so badly that it started on a run It also knocked Omy's successor down, and be became entangled iu one of tbe wheels, but held on to the lines aud was dragged as far as the center of the bridge, where tbe horse was caught by a gen tleman who lives on tbe east side, who was driving over the bridge and saw the aicideut in tim to jump from his wfg in. When he did so tbe noise bd wai driving ewerv tl aiound on the structure aud started back to town, but was caught te'ore going very far. The driver of the sliaftlesg vehicle wag not very badly injured and was able to proceed ou his way. It would be satar ftr the general community if theta alii end eed song of China would adept the nre of tbe jfnriksha and hnrnm tbeuuehts to it, than tiy to o erate the mote modern American vehicle Dalles Win Another Victory.

BURGLARS AT WORK IN MOSIER STORE About 3:30 Monday morning burg lera entered the geueral store of Alex Stewart at Mosier and stole the cash register. The robbers first forced their way into the blacksmith shop and securing tools sawed a square piece of wood out of tbe store door, which permitted them to reach the bolt and withdraw it. Eutering they took the $250 cash register aud car ried it out bodily. liy a circuitous route they lugged it down to the wa ter tank several hundred feet from the railroad station aud there blew it open, securing 910 in cash. A woman who happened to be up at the time dressing for tho early morn ing train beard tbe noise of tbe ex plosion and gave tbe alarm. Investi gation discovered the store door opeu and tbe valuable cash register blown to atoms. As the keys of tbe ma chine were bangirg alongside of it, it is evident that the robb?rs did not make any search of tbe premises, but huried out with their booty as soon aa possible. Nothiug else ill the store was taken or disturbed. A search was made for tbe perpetra tors of tbe act, but they could not be found. Sheriff Sexton of The Dalles waa notified and with two deputies visited the scene of the robbery.
