A limited space will be granted to the

pavilion, gratis. Applications can be made
this evening to Col. E. w. Nevius at the
court house, or after to-day at the pavilion.
Without some effort is made by our citizens
to make an exhibit, the fair will be lacking
in this particular, and undoubtedly Pendle.

Lew Johnson's colored minstrels were as
saultei at Chebalis, W. T., last Saturday.
During their parade they stopped IN front
of the opera house to play tune. The
Democrats were holding political meeting
inside and lot of them rushed out and
knocked the negroes right and left. The
negroes claimed that they did not know of
the meeting and the Democrats claimed
they were sent around there by the Repub- |
licans.

famous descent on the Cascade settlement |
by the Yakimas and KlIckitats in 1856.
This was the first fight in which Gen. Sher-

DR.. Siddall, who left here last March to
attend the practitioners course at the Chi
cago college of dental surgery, returned
Wednesday. He speaks highly of Prof.
Brophey, dean of the college, and also of all
of the faculty. This was course given for
oil practitioners that they might avail them
selyes Of anything new in the line of den-
tristry, and return with it, as it were, in a
nutshell and give their patrons the benefit
of 1t. This is something the doctor thinks
every dentist ought to do and keep up with
tour through England and France, and took
a glance at the Paris exposition, which he
says is fine.
Daring the coming week we shall issue an
extra edition of 500 copies of the Daily
TINES -MoUNTAINEER, which will be dis
tributed gratis on the fair grounds. This
will be no hand or poster from a job
office; but the regular edition of an estab-
! shed paper, which has been published in
The Dalles for nearly thirty years, and for
the last five months or more has attempted
to build up the city and surrounding coun-
try by issuing daily edition at no great
financial gain to the publisher. It is no
humbug, no patent medicine circular ad-
vertlsing scheme, bat an established insti-

school at Hand.
The term of school has already begun.
Parents are your children attending?
The per cent. of attendance last year was
the best we ever had, and we believe we
made substantial progress. The patrons of
the school expect and they have perfect
right to do so; yes, to demand, practical re-
suits from the schools that are costing them
SO much each year. It is not too much to
ask that their children be given fair Eng.
lisn education.
On the other hand, the board of educa- .
tion have right to demand that the chill
dren be kept continually at school, that the
and carelessness of some par
ents do not interfere with these results,
The child's school life is short enough at
best, not averaging more than six years.
How short seed time from which to {
gather life's harvest. These are years OF ,
vital Importance to children. Then or
never is the child to be educated and trained
for life's work. The fruits of all his later {
years depend upon this seed time. We all
wish our children to be thorough business
men and wemen. But when are the seeds
of this harvest to be planted if not now?
Let us remember that attending school is
the child's business now, 50 will he attend
to it in the future. The four cardinal vir-
tues of the school are: punctuality, regu- 8
larity, silence and industry. Without these !
ho school can succeed, and no pupil can
ever reach satisfactory results. .
The reason that your children dislike
study, hate the teachers. play truant, fall +
behind their classes, and finally leave school :
is because of irregular attendance. Many )
a child is cheated out of brilliant fature, !
and all that that implies simply by the in :
diligence of too proud parent.
We hope the patrons will look well to the
business side of their children's school life 7
and do what they can to help those in au- i
thority to reach the best possible results. r
Make it your business to know that your :
children are attending strictly to business i
