The rains which so cooled the tempera-
ture at The Dalles last night-began in

Two fine thoroughbred Irish. setter
pups were shipped on the Prineville
stage Monday for Mr.. Osborn. They

with WI ich to decorate, shows that peo-
pie are moving throughout the city for

An umbrella surgeon in The Dalles
would find numerous broken ribs to
mend, Why don't somebody open an
umbrella hospital?
The Kings daughters will meet at the
residence of Mrs. w. S. Myers this even
ing at o'clock. Important business to
be attended to and full attendance is
desired.
R. G. Fleck & Co. have moved into
their new store room today. 1t is much
more convenient than the old place, and
gives them room to entertain according
to capacity.
County Clerk Crossen gives. due and
timely notice that unless the owners of
certain county warrants call for the
same within go days, they will be can
celled. These are of a series issued

Judge Schultz has removed the seat of
Justice for West Dalles precinct to the

Second, and is now in the rooms for
merly occupied by H. Wentz, the cab
met maker. Here he can be found
ready to administer even handed ius-
tice, whether the thermometer is above
or below zero.
A man was foun d lying prone upon
the sidewalk in the East end apparently
in the last stages of most q. d.
A bucket full of ice water failed to
revive him; then he was conveyed to
the cooler, where a bottle of laudanum
was found in his pockets, and case of
suicide was thought of. The stomach
pump, however failed to show that he
had taken anything stronger than tangle-
foot, and the ordinary charge was booked
against him.
Eight or ten. young men,, college
students from abroad, are now with
their parents, or will be by the. Sd, in
The Dalles. This is subject which at
fords few suggestive thoughts. The
Dalles is better located for university
and college purposes than most any in
! stitution of the kind in America !:
healthy, available, and surrounded by
natural attractive advantages for, the
student beyond an estimate in the value
OF thorough course of study. Why
| can't The Dalles have superior educa-
| tional institution of its own?
| Whatever the. reason, the weather
machines in connection with soda fount-
aims and ice-cream counters seemed in
falliable thirst-provokers yesterday, but
a mackeral sky overhung the city last
night. and this morning at 4:I5- the
thermometer showed falling of several
degrees in temperature, which cast a
shade of gloom over soda and ice-cream
works, with corresponding smile over
the face of the fashionable mixer whose
labors for four days past have been in
answer to calls for lemonades, punches,
iuelps.etc. requiring considerable phys
ical energy.

THE WISE AND THE FOOLISH.
The DalIes Boat Railway and the Lake
Washington Canal.

Washington Canal.
From the Astorian.
The house and senate are in accord on
the river and harbor bill, except as re-
CARDS the appropriation for the dalles
ship railway and that for the canal to
connect lakes Washington and Union
with the sound at Seattle. AS the pres
ident has intimated that he will veto the
bill should it exceed the sum appropria-
ted by the house, Senator Dolph may
have to abandon the ship railway at the
second conference which has been or
dered: If he does it will be some conso-
lation that the job to impose a tax to
build the Seattle canal at the public ex-
pense will also be defeated. In defiance
of the wishes and interests of the people
of Washington a small minority in
Seattle excepted, Senator Squire has
sought to bring ridicuie on the river and
harbor bill by promoting the purely local
project on public grounds. The scheme
is entirely indefensible as government
measure. If fresh water anchorage is
needed for any United States ships, they
can find it at Astoria, which is readily
accessible from all points on the coast,
1t is unfortunate that the wise and the
foolish scheme should be combined.
Oregon may, however, feel confident
that the ship railway will follow as a
necessary engineering sequence to the
works at the ietty and the cascades.
Nature has provided great river with
one great barrier, for the dalles and cas-
cades are so linked as to form single
obstruction. 1t is not possible that this
country, with its immense wealth and
engineering resources, will allow the
facilities of the great river to waste for
lack of the ship railway which Senator
Dolph has so ably advocated.

The Sun agrees to the proposition that
the seller of whisky to Indians has not
heretofore been sufficiently punished.
1t says: "The utter folly of a law which

dollar fine on parties selling whisky to

1t is no check to the evil. Itis just such

was graceful. comfortable. picturesque;
be latter is the reverse of all these. We
do not realize how homogeneous and il

We are continually lecturing the Ia
dies on the subject Of dress. yet they
have preserved some of the beauties and
comforts of ancient costumes. while we

A Perfect Train Signal System.

T "Wednesday afternoon representatives. of
th. VI aine Central Portland < Rochester,
, Boston & Albany, Grand Trunk and Boston
/ & Maine Railroads besides few others,
we're invited to attend the exhibition Of the
Jordan Electric Train Signal System on the
. MON Branch between the Mon station,
Portland. and the Portland & Rochester sta
ton. The system has been tried on the
Portland 4 Rochester trains No. . and 4 for
about eight weeks, and conductor +. II.
( Cltsves and engineer Elwell have not ex-
perienced the least difficulty in operating it.
The system allows perfect communication
between engineer and conductor, who may
be on any part of the train, and when either
signals to the other, the message is auto
matically returned To the sender If the
train breaks apart the engineer and conduc-
tor are notified at once As the parting of the
coupler completes circuit. A battery
is carried on each side of the engine. One
is reserve and if the other gives out it
can be- put into use by simply turning a
small lever in the cab.
The engineer can test the entire system
without disturbing any other part of the
Train The batteries can be removed and
replaced without any preliminary unfasten-
ing of wires and are automatically put in cir
cult when placed in position. Therefore
no skilled workmen are required To handle
the system. The engineer can alarm the
baggage, express and mail cars in case of
robbery by touching concealed button.
The batteries have been tested for two
years and the couplers have been in practi-
cal use for over two wears. The tender is
so wired that the water tank can be removed
-
or new trucks put on without disturbing the
wires The wires through the smoking and
regular cars are enyeloped in Il green cord
and suspended overhead in the place of the
old bell rope ans. are so arranged that they
cannot be broken by any ordinary careless
ness The coupler is simple in construc-
ton. very durable, makes IA sure connection
every time. is fire aud water proof of light
weight, and il air tight when closed. There
il no chance of short circuit by water, rs
the coupler is absolutely water tight. The
two halves of the coupler being exactly
alike are thus interchangeable.
At present there are two combination
buttons inside each car, and a common
dummy" button outside for use when the
train is at a standstill In the baggage
ear the button is on the side and the wires
are attached to the top of the ear Mr.. y.
f. Jordan, the inventor of the system. IL
Iustrated its workings to the men present,
" lille the train was stationary, and also
while in motion by parting the train. 1t
has taken eight years Ia perfect the plans
for this system. but at last they seem to
have been perfected in the fullest sense of
the word. Last May a corporation was

The Victims Of Cholera.

There is good deal of pith in the ssser-
ton Of Sir Edward Arnold that the Asiaiie
cholera is "a disease of filth and COW sriice.
Certainly. i, cannot have escaped the at
tention of people who have watched. with
ANY degree of eloseness, the progress of the
disease in European countries that its
rasages have been mostly--almost exelu-
sisels. confined to the lower classes: PEG
pie whose surroundings are filthy, whose
habits Of hfe are largely dissipated, and
whose nourishment is poor and improper
Among such people the disease has wrought
terrible havoc. Take, for instance. the
