presented by company of players care
fully selected for their artistic abilities
to fill the requirements of the play, and
their motto is ''good, pure fun without
vulgarity." The street parade is most
interesting, and will be at l O'Clock

A SAD ACCIDENT.
Mrs. DR.. Tucker is Drowned In Mill
Creek.


Mrs. DIR. Tucker is Drowned in Mill
Creek.
The city was plunged into sadness this
morning when it was learned that the
estimable wife of Dr. Geo. F. Tucker had
met with an accident resulting in her
death. 1t seems that DIR. and Mrs.
Tucker last evening went up Mill Creek
on fishing trip. About six miles from
the city they got out their tackles and
went at the sport. The doctor finally
told his wife that he was going up the
stream a little further and went short
distance away. He was not gone over
ten minutes. He heard no outcry but
did hear splash and came hack hur-
riedly to where he had left his wife. He
was Mortified to find her lying at full
length in the water. Catching hold of
her he frantically lifted her from the
stream, which at that point was about
eighteen inches deep. She gasped once
or twice as he lifted her but in a moment
her lovely spirit had fed and he was left
alone with the body with no one to help
him get her home. AS soon as he real
lied that his wife was dead he rushed to
farmers house about half mile away
and procuring a team brought her to the
city.
The theory is that Mrs. Tucker was
standing on rock and the rapidly run
ming water caused her to become dizzy
and she fell forward and striking a
rock was rendered unconscious and
drowned before her husband reached
her. There is small mark over the
left eve and quite considerable contus-
sion which must have resulted from the
fall.
Mrs. Tucker was about 81 years of age.
She was the daughter of Rev. Carpus
Sperry of the Baptist church of Browns
vile in this state. She leaves two child
rem, Carl and Nellie, aged respectively
about IL and 10 years of age. With her
husband and family she came to The
Dalles little over two years ago, and
has made very many friends here by her
lovely christian character and sweet life.
Her body will be taken to Brownsville
by this evenings train, where she will
be buried.
DIR. Tucker has the sympathy of the
entire community in his deep bereave-
ment.
Mrs. DIR. Tucker leaves a sister at
Hillsboro, Mrs. DIR. j. +. Adkins. Be-
sides the lady named she has sisters as
follows Mrs. Elias Hill, Brownsville; /;
Mrs. DIR. w. F. Skif, Portland; Mrs. E.
S. Warren, Oregon City; and brother,
Mr.. William o. Sperry of Brownsville.
She was born at Healdsburgh, California
and was married to the doctor October
20, 1879. 1t proved happy marriage
for all concerned, and their lives grew
brighter and brighter as the years went
by. She was true christian, member
OF the Baptist church here, and was
much beloved by all who knew her

THE WORK OF THE MALTA.

The New Orleans Delta is waging
a relentless war Oh the Malta society
IN the city of New Orleans in the in
terest of good order and the public
safety, and declines to cease its eff
forts until every vestige of this infa-
nous gang Of assassins are removed be-
yond its borders. New Orleans in
many respects, is the :airest city of the
South, rich and opulent, with histo-
ry of great achievements, and around
which fond memories cluster, and her
fair fame should not suffer because of
the fostering sores with which she is
is afflicted by reason of the acts of an
association whose chief delight is muir
der, and whose pastime is the use of
the assassin's knife. The Delta, true
to its purpose, has gone to the public
records for information, and the inves-
tigation has revealed a chapter of hor-
rors that stand without a parallel in
the record of crime in this country.
The investigation shows that within
quarter of a century ninety-four muir
ders have been committed in the
city BY members of the Malta, or
through their instigation, and that the
terror in which these people are held
has been so great that out of the ninety
four murders and assassinations in
that time no evidence whatever against
the offenders could be obtained when
the cases came to trial, and as the re-
suit the prisoners have gone unwhipped
of justice, and the human wolves have,
because of these facts, been let loose
again on the community, to use at
will the silent stil!etto and the muir
derous Malta musket. What wonder is
it, then, that the law-abiding citizens
of the "Crescent City, should be
aroused beyond endurance ? What
wonder is then, that the tragic affair
of the Parish prison lynching should
have been enacted and where is the
surprise that the participants should be
applauded for the work?
SO long as the Malta finds a place
in New Orleans, so long will there be
blot on the fair escutcheon of that
city, and the sooner the people realize
the fact and aid the Delta in its good
work, to It's fullest consummation, the
better will it be. To drive the Malta
beyond its border, would be a holy
duty with the people of New Orleans,
and in their endeavor to rid them
selves of the fostering sores they should
have the encouragement of all civil
lied people.-Noriolk Landmark.

They Dallied Too Long.

one day a detachment of General
Basil Dukes troops was moving through
the northern part of Kentucky. Dick
Wintersmith's son was in the band and
its leader. The guerrillas were worn
out and hunted down. Their horses
were nearly foundered. The men were
dirty and ragged. They halted for rest
near a seminary for young ladies, all
sympathizers with the Confederacy. Out
came the young ladies when they saw
the gray coats. They brought out food,
drink and armfuls of flowers. They
hung flowers around the necks of the
hunted men, and sang in a musical
chorus, "Oh, you darling Confederates. -
A struggling Confederate, fat, greasy
and ragged, came up fogging a faded
mack along, and swearing because he
could not keep up with his associates.
de was just in time to hear the inyoca-
ton of the young ladies, and yelled out,

FARM BUILDINGS AND BARN YARD.
the barn yard, which was simply an in
closure surrounded by board fence
seven feet high, and sloped away to the
south, and was admirably arranged so
that all the liquids could run away nicely,
leaving the yard always dry. The same
autumn added the building &C." 20 by
80 feet, to have room for vehicles, tools.
and some fodder and hay. One-haf Of
this has since been made into silo as
indicated on the sketch.
The following spring l saw so many
dollars going down the slope in the
golden liquid that determined to make
a basin of the clay soil of which the yard
was formed. This 1 did by making it
about thirty inches deeper in middle
than at edges and regular dish shape.
At the same time found necessity for
more stable room. and little later
erected the shed 3D." 16 feet by "a feet,
divided into six box stalls, with one entry
on the south side.
AS more room was needed in year Or
two, the buildings &C." "a feet by 50 feet
for pig pens, and "F," 16 feet by 20 feet,
with posts "a feet, for tools underneath
and fodder above, were erected.
This. it will be observed, nearly sur
rounded my barn yard with buildings,
except on the east and a small section
on the south and west, and although all
roofs were spouted to carry away the
water, we began to experience the serious
difficulty of too much water. The yard
held all the water that fell in it and the
full length of high top rubber boots was
| necessary to enable us to get about. AS
a temporary relief we had to cut chan
mel out one side of our dish and let the
golden liquid flow away again. 1t began
to dawn upon me that covered barn
yard would be good thing, and as the
farm was becoming more productive
and more room necessary floor
space being especially defcient-the fol-
lowing plan was resorted to: The space
marked &C. AZ feet by so feet, was cov-
cred by barn, with posts 20 feet. This
barn was set on sixteen posts of round
white oak about fourteen inches in d.
| ameter, mounted on stone pedestals and
high enough SO that the threshing floor
came level with the old barn floor and
| in line with it. This increased our thresh-
ing floor to 72 feet in length and covered
large area of the yard. This seems to
| meet the required want. It furnishes q
| cool place in summer and a warm place
in cooler weather, and protects the ma
| nure from bleaching rains and bleaching
suns.

KITCHEN ETYMOLOGY.

A "stew'' is defined by Skeat as some
thing cooked on a ''stove."
A "chop," according to Skeat. is nothing
but CHAP" or ''chip."
A luncheon" is discovered to mean a
dump" piece broken off, according to
Skeats authority.
A "pudding"-from pad" bag-was
originally an intestine filled with meat; in
other words, sausage.
The word Kitchen" bears little super
fetal resemblance to the word 'cook," yet
coquere, to cook.
The word "loaf," from the Anglo-Saxon
hlaf, is own cousin, as we may say, to two
such unexpected words as 'lady" and
"lord;" a lady is a loaf kneader and a lord
is loaf keeper.
From the Latin coquere, to cook, are
"cake'' and "biscuit'' Ghe latter a thing
twice cooked), "concoct," to cook together,
and "precocious," which means, literally,
cooked or ripened before the time.
To "sup," or to take supper" is now to
eat the last meal of the day; but the orig
inal meaning of the term was to drink, a
meaning still retained by the closely al
lied "sip." From the same root we get
the words "sop'' and "soup."
In Skeat's Psychological Dictionary
you may be surprised to read, "Sage, a
plant; see salvation" This odorous herb
was supposed to have healing virtue, and,
therefore, was named sage" a term de-
rived from the Latin salvus, safe.
The connection of the word salary
with salt" is a matter of general knowl-
edge, but it is probably not SO commonly
known that salad, ""sauce," "souse," and
sausage" have the same saline origin, the
idea of sailing or seasoning having been
foremost in them all.
In these days a custard is a mixture of
milk and eggs, sweetened and then baked
or boiled. 1t ma be cooked with or with
out pastry, but IS sharply distinguished
from it. Yet the word "custard" is from
the same root as "crust,' and originally
meant crust or pasty.
If we go to Skeat's dictionary for the
word steak" we read, "Steak; see stick. u
A steak was slice of meat stuck on a
wooden peg and roasted before the fire
We have changed the custom but retained
the word. 1t is worth noting, also, that
etiquette, ""stake, stocking" "stoker, u
| and ticket" have come from the same
root.-YOuth's Companion.
