A paper supported by the consolidated
capital of growing city should show

We are sorry to learn of the death OF Mr..
W. II. Dunn, who passed away on last Sat-
urday night. He had been sick with
catarrh for a long period, and at one time
rallied, but the disease finally conquered,
and MIR. Dunn is now numbered among the
silent dead. The funeral took place from
the family residence this morning. He was
an honored and respected citizen of The
Dalles for many years, and always had a
good reputation for honesty and integrity.
Mr.. Paris Fowler, of Memphis, Tennes-
see, arrived in the city few days since.
He is brother of Mrs Robert Mays and
Mr.. Henry Fowler, neither of whom he had
seen for twenty-seven years, and his sister,
Mrs. Mays, he had not seen for thirty-nine

he has spent the last ten years IN Tennessee;
but the old sucker state has always a warm
spot in his heart, and he can never divorce
himself from its remembrance.
