ITFMS IN BRIEF
From SATURDAYS Daily

| from saturdays Daily.
o Mr.. A K. Dufur, the manager of tt
p milling company at Dufur, is in town t.
day.
The rain has ceased. and our people al
happy. East Oregonians cannot be happ
without there is clear atmosp here an
sunshine.
An exchange, describing a brides dress
says that it had ei bow sleeves cut decolett
and en- train. Ye Gods, what vagarie
e won't fashion take nextl
a This is evidently an off day for iudcia
2 matters, none of the justices or city court
doing any business. 1t is too soon after tn
, demolition of the turkey.
The recorders court had nothing thi
= morning with which to exercise his judicia
clemency. No 'drunks"-uo hoboes, anc
his honor, the recorder, enjoyed rest.
E. w. Helm & Co. have been busy fol
the past few days moving their stock o.
goods, a7d are now snugly enclosed il
ochanno's brick block on Second street.
Circuit court is not in Sc sion to -day, and
everything in and about the court house is
very sleepy and quiet Judge Brad haw
Will resume the transaction of legal busi-
ness on Monday again.
The Century for December, a very excel
lent number, on Sd at NJ. L. Noan's post
office bookstore. THIS is the leading per-
lodical of the day, and should he in every
family who desire who k ep abreast of cur
rent literature
chinook wind came out of the west
last night and howled around street corners.
The snow has completely aisappeared, and
the chinook brought old residents to the re
allzltloa that this region is still portion
OF the country east OF the mountains
Notwithstanding the misfortunes hat our
farmers have experienced during the late
harvest they are still hopeful for the COM
ing season and more wheat will be planted
this year than any former one. Eastern
Oregon is all ght; and only meets with re-
verses during unusual seasons.
An appeal was to-day taken to the cir.
cut court in the case of VI. Perkins VS. A.
wilson tried short time since before JUS
tlce Davis, and in which a judgment was
given for the plaintiff for SAG and costs.
The defendant not deemin. the Judgment q
Just one, and not wishing to pay it, has
taken the matter to the higher court.
Condor Globe: Farmers and stock rails
ers throughout the county are in better fix
TO enter the winter than for number of
years past. Their stock is in fine condition
this season having been large and haystacks
are numerous. Generally the stockmen
are prepared to feed from two to three
months, and if Gillian county losses any
thing by the winter, other loca tiles that |
are not so well prepared, will sustain heavy
losses.
Nellie Bly,, the globe trotter, in speaking |
OF woman, says: 81 admire woman as an |
individual, but when taken collectively
That Is, when body of women meet to-
gethcr-Shey think they must do something |
or take some action, whether it be within
the bounds of rea on or not" Nellie evil
IDENTIFY does not favor womans suffrage.
There is no poetry in rainy weather, with
clouds hanging low on the atmosphere. Not
the least enthusiasm may be expected from
these conditions, but only feeling of des-
pondency. Italian tints on landscapes,
clear atmosphere and summer breezes to fan
the cheek OF beauty are the great incentives
to romance and picture painting. These
have not been daily occurrences in The
Dalles for some time, and therefore the
people are discouraged.
DIR. D. c HolIister, regirnental surgeon
OF the Third regiment, Oregon National
Guard, to-day received very complete
case OF surgical instr ,ments from the sur
geon general. Inc instruments are all pro.
yided with auteseptic handles The num-
Der OF saws, knives, forceps, etc.. is almost
confusing. 1t is one of the finest assort-
ments OF instruments ever brought to The
Dalles, and the doctors friends must needs
be on the Qui 0iUe lest he attempt to use
them as subjects on which to try the new
articles.
The editor of paper at Storm Lake,
Iowa, is now hiding in swamp near that
place In consequence of the way he mixed

Who pronounced them the finest bred short {
lorns in the country. A few are of rich

we're able bodied. fine limbed amin ais, and
promise to prove good property" {
w. W. Statesman On Wednesday last
Iarnes Perry, of Dayton, was committed 20
he insane asylum by Judge Studevant
'erry is % years old, married, and went to {
layton from Utah last summer. He was
ublect 20 epIleptic fits, which caused his /
eing confined 10 an asylum for four years
nee before, but was discharged as cured
few days ago he was taken with violent q
i, which again unbalanced his mind. He
elonged to the Salvation Army, and dur
1g his alteration contended that some one
ad stolen his soul and hid it. He at i
smPted to kill his wife, and a neighbor
roman who came to the rescue was severely +
hoked. 1t required the services of four 9
len to overpower and take him to iail.
William L. Coleman, one the most j
minent citizens of California, died in San s
raneiseo last week. Mr.. Coleman was an
lstoric figure In the pioneer life of the Pa s
nc coast. He was one of the founders of
an Francisco, and was chairman of the fa- !
lous vigilance committee of 1856, whose
,ory is familiar to every school boy In CAL
ornia. A man singularly gentle, modest Il
nd approachable; chivalrous gentleman s
the old school, be was yet fearless, reso- Il
lte and answering in the performance of
is duty. He was almost the last of a type a
character which social conditions pre- v
ailing before the war produced in the pio- O
eer life OF ''the days of old, the days of
Did, the days of 40"
