rhres,Years in the penitentiary.

This morning Lee Moorehouse was
brought before Judge Bradshaw to re-
ceive sentence for the two crimes OF
which he had been convicted, larceny
of mare and stealing wheat. For
the first offense he was sentenced to
one years confinement in the peniten-
tiary and for the second two years.
Moorehouse is scarcely more than 20
years old, and having started on the
road of crime SO early in life, it Is to
be hoped his punishment may prove a
valuable lesson, and that when he
energies from the prison he may pur-
sue different course.

served by the citizens of The Dalles as
day of rest and recreation. BY pre-
arrangements union devotional exer-
,cises were held at the Congregational
church, Rev. Mr.. Hazel delivering the

in order to be truly thankful people
must be humble, recognizing the hand
iwork of Divine Providence in the be-
stowal of all that is good, and that to
the Creator of the universe we should
be thankful for the blessings of peace
and plenty bestowed upon US. MIR
Hazel's discourse was able throughout,

Through the kindness of Mrs. j. II.
Cross, the four men confined in the
county jail enjoyed an elegant dinner
Thanksgiving. Theywere supplied with
chicken, mince and custard pie, and
other delicacies. The unfortunates who
are in Jail, though now under clowd of

will ever havea tender and thankful
feeling toward the kind hearted lady
who thus remembered then in their
time of misfortune. Such generosity
as was displayed by Mrs. Cross in this
