LOCAL HREVITIES.

The Union Pacific wharf boat is today
landing.
Mr.. and Mrs. Stacy Shown have re-
turned, and will make their home in
this city.
Mrs. VIM. Floyd left for Seattle last
night to be absent two weeks visiting
friends on the sound.
The loss of w. A. Phelps store at
Rufus, which was destroyed by fire on
Saturday, is quite an Inconvenience to
to the public there.
Samples of wheat from several Wamic
fields, collected and left at this office by
l.. L McCarty, are very flattering in
deed, considering the exaggerated stor-
les in circulation concerning the de-
struction; which don't materialize.
The Oregon Portage railway company's g
wharf boat, used at the foot of the cas-
cade locks, is now in place for business.
Through traffic and travel by The Dalles,
Portland and Astoria Navigation COM
panys steamers will begin next Monday.
Harvesting of winter wheat and oats
is in full blast through the Columbia
river valley. Wheat is turning out from
20 to So of the average except in a few
localities. While the farmers are not
enthusiastic over their crops, the ma
jority of them are not respondent.
Calmness was becalmed today at and
about The Dalles. Old Sol took advan-
tage of the occasion to warm up things,
and the ''is it hot enough for you" fiend
sported in ghoulish glee. In view of the
past nobody has any kick coming on the
weather side. 1t is very fine and might
be great deal warmer.
Union Pacific officials have about con-
cluded to abandon the hope of any pro-
fit from running the Baker, and it is
now possible "she may not turn wheel
this summer" except in some such emer-
gency as the loss of railway bridges by
sparks from the new tangled locomotives
or other accidents along the line dowr
the river.
The Teachers normal county insti
tute for Wasco will be held in the bricl
schoolhouse, Dalles City, beginning

One of the sights from Cloud Cap Inl
is the egg-shaped Chitwood lake. 1t j
not far from Lost lake, one of the source
of Hood river. The late S. G. Skidmore
and Capt. A. p. Ankeny, made trip t
theselakes, some time in the sixties
and it was Capt. Ankney's idea to pip
the water to Portland. Chitwood lax
has no visible outlet. There is cliff o.
one side, though the other is open, an
! 100 feet from the bank is marshy. N
boat has ever been on the lake, and it
depth has never been sounded, thoug
it is believed to be very deep as it ha
no doubt been the crater of volcan
similar to Crater lake.

nOisome noise that has been sprung
upon the people of Reynoldsville in

evening. One of our merchants gave
out one thousand patent noise-makers
with his advertisement on one side and
on the other side was the picture of
Harrison and Reid for Republican boys,
and Cleveland and Stevenson for the
Democratic boys. The "clappers" and
campaign horns placed in the hands of
the young Americas was all that was
required to produce pandemonium on
the streets. A boy with "clapper" in

in good working order, was not an

Did Not Enjoy II.

A man who digs ''dusky diamonds at
the Sprague mine and lives in Rathmel
got bath ono evening last week that
was not relished with complacency.
The man often gets his wages and
comes to Rcynoldsvile and gets loaded
with "tangle-foot" and after few days
spreeing returns to his home and family
filled with whisky and deviishness and
abuses his family shamefully. The
kind hearted men Of Rathmel, and there
are many in that village, wearied Of
such conduct in their midst and decided
that they would make it interesting for
the offender. On Wednesday eyening
OF last week. after three or four day =
spree, the man who loveth 10 "guzzlc"
intOxicants wcnded his way to his
domicile and forthwith began to abuse
his family. a mob of about dozen
men decided TO take him TO the woods
and give him "a good trouncing with
mule whips, but this plan was not
carried out. The 'guzzler" was lured
away from his home on an invitation TO
''come down the road and have a drink" 4"
The deccivcr and his victim had
travelled but short distance when
they came to some men who were
talking rather loud and acting as If
they were going to fight. The victim"
was led into the midst of the gang
where two tubs and n pail of water were
in readiness and he was put into one
tub and the other one was turned on
top Of him and then the pail Of water
was thrown on TO rinse him of. The
fellow went home wetter If not u
wiser man. He threatened vengeance
on the men who gave him the ducking.
The man may be thankful he escaped
80 easily and had better treat his family
in a more becoming manner hereafter.

REPUBLICAN MEETING.

Fizzle-Speeches Full Of Repubicanism.
Friday evening the campaign ball
was started by the Republicans in this
place. The people anticipated seeing
a big torchlight procession, but their
expectations we're knocked out when
the parade was seen on Main street.
The conspicuousness of the long
procession by its absence was what
disappointed the people. The process
sion, what there was OF IL, made good
appearance with the men in their
handsome uniforms marching along
amidst the red lights that were burn
ed on Main street and TO the music
Of brass and martial bands. County
Chairman r.. G. Burns and the candi-
dates, ID. b. Heiner, for Congress,
james G.. Mitchell, for Senate, and w.
o. Smith, for Assembly, rode ahead OF
the parade in u carriage, followed by
the Reynodsvlle Cornet band and the
martial band followed the uniformed
paraders and boys with campaign horns.
The decorations were not elaborate.
the most extensive being forty-two
Chinese lanterns strung across the
street from the Arnold block TO Mckee
g. Warnick's store.
After the street performance the
Centennial hall was packed and many
decided not to go in TO hear the
speakers simply because they could not
gain an entrance into the hall. DIR. J.
w. Foust was elected chairman. and
he read list Of two dozen names of
gentlemen who occupied seats on the
platform as vice-presidents. A. j.
Truitt, one Of the legal lights Of
Punxsutawney, was first introduced
and he eulogized the candidates who
were present. Daniel b. Heiner, of
Kittanning, was the second speaker.
Mr.. Hencr's forte is not as an orator.
The third, and best speaker Of the
evening, was John w. Reed, Esq, an
able lawyer Of Clarion. II was evident
by the repeated applause during his
speech that the Republicans sanctioeed
all that he said, in fact all three
speakers were applauded heartily. The
Republicans were highly pleased with
the meeting in the hall, but have little
to say about their street parade.

A Farmers Loss.

John Penfield, farmer of Sugar Hill,
lost his barn, all the hay and grain
raised this season, two horses, valued at
$4,000, one colt, three cows and calf,
by fire on the night of the 10th inst.
He had been attending his father
in-law's funeral, William Dougherty,
that day and did not get home until
after dark and lantern was used to
put the horses away, but the lantern
was lighted in the house and the farmer
is unable to account for the fire unless
tramps were lodging there and carlessly
set the barn on fire. The loss amounted
to about $4,000 with only $1,000 insur-
ance. 1t was sad day for Mr.. and
Mrs. Penfield.

A Suspicious Character.

Several men near Jas. A. Gathers
farm, came into town Monday evening
with tough looking fellow whom they
said was prowling around their prem
ises in suspicious manner, and they
wanted to give him dose of law. The
man was taken before Squire Neif for a
hearing. The Justice asked him where
he came from and the answer was,
'quite II piece, mister" The next
interrogative was, "what is your name?"
81 don't know, mister. / don't trouble
any person with my name and | don't
want to be troubled about it, mister" Z"
According to the testimony the Justice
said he was vagrant tramp and he
would fine him five dollars and costs.
The man said he had no money and he
was sentenced to lodging in the lookup
and five days work on the street. He
did not object to the five days work,
but he was not pleased with the lookup
part OF the sentence. The tramp, as he
was dubbed-and his appearance indi-
Gated 1t was not q misnomer-could have
made it lively for some person. He
was not arrested by an officer Of the law,
the men who brought him to town took
the law in their own hands. The fellow
got square meal and was released the
next morning.

badly used. Mr.. Jones' best pair Of
pants, with twenty dollar bill in one

ed that night during the excitement.
The fire company responded promptly
to the alarm, but rs there was no water
plug near the fire the hose cart was
only taken to the Arnold block and re-
turned, but the hook and ladder truck
was hauled to fire by a mule. The house
and furniture were insured for 81 ,050.00

A Political Joke.

Davis McCrackcn, the veteran mer-
chant of Reynoldsville, sprung joke
on several men who were in his store
Monday, that has caused considerable
comment in political circles. In talk
ing about political floppers, Mr.. Nc
Cracken said that Mr.. G.. II. Prescott,
who has been known as lifelong Re-
publican, is now Cleveland man. Mr..
Prescott's Republican friends gave vent
to their opinions very freely for such
action on his part, while the Democrats
rejoiced over the fact. Mr.. McCracken
said he was a "Cleveland man." but in
the repetition Of the accusation it was
changed TO Democrat" No one can
deny the truthfulness Of the statement
that Mr.. Prescott is Cleveland man,
for he has been resident OF that city
for several years. Do you "tumble ?"
