LECTURE ON JAPAN.
Instructive Address on the History and
Customs of the Japanese.

Instructive Address on the History and
Customs of the Japanese.
There was a good audience at the
Congregational church last evening to
listen to the address of Mr.. Sam I.
Hirota, on his native land, Japan, and
he was listened to with marked atten-
tion until the close. After the devo-
tional exercises Mr.. Hirato was intro
duced, and spoke for fully an hour on
the history of his country. With
small outline map he described the
situation of the Island Empire, with
the Pacific on the west and China and
Siberia on the east. In the year 700
B. @. the empire was established by
the conquest of the native tribes by
hereditary chief in the southern part
of the archipelago. The present Mi
kodo is the 123d lineal descendant of
the conqueror. In the middle ages
the fendal system prevailed, the same
as in parts of Europe, and continued
until 1866. In that year a revolution
took place, and the mikado established
his full control of the islands and
granted the people a constitution.
Western civilization first gained a
footing about thirty years ago, induced
by the visit of Commodore Perry and
the treaty made with the United States
at that time. 1t has made steady pro-
gress ever since, and has now a free
school system and several good col
leges and universities. After brief
description of the customs of the jap
anese, he dwelt at some length on the
recent war with China, and the causes
which led to that great struggle.
Corea was under the protection of
Japan, and was rapidly becoming civil
lized. This aroused the jealousy of
China, and several outrages were COM
mitted which forced Japan to begin
the war in which she was victorious in
every battle on sea and on land. This
was the third conflict with the great
empire. and it is expected will be the
last. Mr.. Hirota had fair command |
of English, and every part cf the ad-
dress was understood, except when he
rendered some of the native songs.

The Dalles Horses Win.

At the Irvington Park races, Port
land, which have been in progress for
several days and will continue until
the 9Th of July, The Dalles and vicin-
ity have scored three victories. Jim
Crow, owned by Mr.. William Gilmore,
of Rockland, has won two races, and
Mamie S., trained and owned by A.
M. Allen of this city, has been victor
in one. These races were hotly con-
tested, and entries were made of some
of the best horses in the Willamette
valley. For a number of years our
horsemen have had fine thorough
bred animals, and we are pleased to
note the fact that their racing quail
ties are becoming known. Before the
Irvington Park races close we expect
to score one or more victories for
horses from this neighborhood.

INTERESTING BIRDS.
Genuine African Ostriches to be Seen With
the Great Syndicate Circus.

Genuine African Ostriches to be Seen With
the Great Syndicate Circus.
Giant African ostriches are a great
curiosity, and but few of them have
ever been seen in this country. and
they live but short while owing to
the rigor of the climate. The big
birds usually called ostriches. now so
extensively bred on the so called
ostrich farms of California, are really
not ostriches. They belong to the
same species, but are morgrel branch
of the true family. Its native place is
Australia and not Africa, and the birds
are really an emu, and is only about
half the size of the ostrich, and has
not the brilliant and luxurious plumage
of the latter bird.
The only flock of African ostriches
An America is owned by the Great
Syndicate Circus, whose well-known
circus exhibits in The Dalles, Satur-
day, July 6. Six of them were i'm
ported by these managers, and they
are wonderful feature. Each is as
large as horse, and can easily outrun
that animal.
This popular circus is three-ring
show, and it also has q great hippo
drome track on which exciting races
are run. This year prices have been
reduced to so cents for adults and 25
cents for children.

A Postmaster on rrial.

The Eveninq Telegraph says: Ernest
Waterman, of Caleb, in Grant county,
is on trial in the United States court
for stealing $50 from the postoffice at
that place. Waterman was assistant
postmaster in April of 1894.
On April Z, two letters came to the
office, one addressed to Oscar Hill, con-
tanning 800, and one to Oakes & Will
son, to be forwarded to Mitchell for
them. Both letters disappeared, and
it is believed by the United States
attorney and the grand jury, which
indicted Waterman, that he stole the
money.
The case will probably go to the
jury this afternoon, and verdict will
be rendered this evening.

With the 4th ON Thursday, and the

getting numerous. Circus day is not,
strictly speaking, legal holiday ex-

Shot by Accident.

Says the East Oregonian: August
Sigmond and John Gergen, butchers
employed by Platzoeber & Minger,
went down to their slaughter house to
kill beef animal. Sigmond was to
kill the steer with rife, and after it
had been put inside, Gergen went out
side and closed the door. Sigmond
then shot at the animal, and as it
threw its head wildly about, struck it
on one of the horns, the bullet glanc-
ing, passing through the door and
entering the leg Of Gergen. The ball
passed through the flesh and inflicted
quite wound, though it is thought
Gergen was taken to his room and
placed under the physicians care and
is getting along very nicely.

Lecture Sunday Night.

Mr.. Ichiro Hirota has recently made
lecture tour of the valley, and will
speak in the Congregational church
tomorrow night. He comes to us highly
recommended. The Hillsboro ARGUS
comments as follows: "The lecture on
Japan by Sam I. Hirota, at the Con-
gregational church last Friday even
ing was attended by large audience,
and was attentively listened to. The
speaker proved himself to be very
lucid and entertaining talker, his
articulation being quite pure and
easily understood, except when he
INDUCED in songs and selections of his
native tongue. His lecture tour this
summer should prove great success"

Rounding Up Horse Thieves.
The Walla Walla Union says:

SHERIFF Baldwin, of Garfield county,
has been rounding up horse thieves
for the last few days. He now has four
of them in jail at Pomeroy and dep
uty sheriff from Spokane goes there
today and will take them up to
Spokane to be tried for stealing lot
of excellent horses from a man at
Rockford on May 10Th. While in the
vicinity of Pomeroy this gang of
thieves had been stealing saddles, bri-
dies and so on. One of them will be
tried at Pomeroy for stealing saddle.
This is one of the gang that had a
cache at Rock creek. We hope and
trust justice will not be robbed,
neither shall it be. unless rope is
dearer in the upper country than it is
with u.s.

Grain Prospects.

From parties who arrived from Col
dendale yesterday, we learn that grain
in Klickitat county is in excellent con-
dition, and the warm weather has
caused no injury. Gaasshoppers have
made their appearance only on one
farm north of the summit, and that is
at Mr.. Prices. Late frosts did some
damage to vegetables and fruits; but
there is every indication of wheat hav-
ing good yield. The season is later
in Klickitat than in Wasco, and the
warm days last week had the effect to
impel the growth of grain. 1t is to be
hoped that the present cool weather is
beneficial to grain in Wasco, and, if
rain has fallen, has stopped the rava-
ges of the grasshoppers. There is
possibility yet that there will be fair
yield of grain in some portions of the
county.

the Locks by The Dalles Orchestra
band, and on the return of the Requla-

were taken in charge by friends, who
exemplified that hospitality to visitors
for which The Dalles enjoys an envi-
able reputation. The Turner's re-
turned to Portland this morning on
the boat, we'll pleased with their visit,
and the hospitable manner in which
they were received and treated by the
of the Gesang Verein Har-
moine of this city.

COMPLIMENTARY.

The Klickitat Republican pays the
following compliment to one of the
teachers recently engaged for the
public schools of this city:
''Miss Brydolf,w who won very warm
place in the hearts of her pupils while
teaching term of school in this city
has been engaged to teach in The
Dalles. We congratulate Miss Bry-
dolf as we'll as The Dalles on this ap-
pointment. Miss Brydolf is earnestly
devoted to the profession which she
adorns, and to which, like the poet,
she was doubtless born. At any rate
she has the knack of capturing the
hearts of the little people, and through
this means very successfully cultivat-
ing their young minds"

A Telephone Line,

Messrs. Seufert & Condor have COM
pleted arrangements for building a
telephone line into the country south
of us, and will eventually extend it to
Prineville and perhaps Canyon City.
The poles have been ordered and
should have been here ere this. AS
soon as they arrive work will be com
menced and the line completed as far
as Kingsley inside of two weeks. This
will prove great convenience both to
our business men and to the people
along the line, and will prove an Inn
portant factor both in drawing busi-
ness to The Dalles and holding it.
Some of these days it will be railroads
instead of telephone lines that will
radiate from this natural center.
