and made a pleasing oral report of bis

DR.. Shipper is now serving his four
teenth year at this church, a fact eloquent
enough i'll praise of the venerable pastor.
There has been some talk about a change
in the pastoral relations al this church,
the foundation for which appears to be
that one Of the congregations at Plymouth
Mass, are desirous of receiving DT. Shippen
as their shepherd.

lessly to an Alarm.
There was much hustling last night at
police station No. as the hands of the
patient old clock pointed to 11:30 and a
message came in over the wire from police
headquarters that burglars were attempting
to affect an entrance into the house of
George Gessford, on Tenth street, near B,
southwest.
This message had gone down to head
quarters from the herdic stables, and was
thenfiredback to the Fifth precinct. Police
men Kelly and Mason Were in the station
when the call came and made an immediate
break for the scene of activities. They
left on the run and maintained the pace till
the place where the evil-doers We're said
to be doing evil.
1t turned out that Mr. Gessford's stable
had been broken into and the marauders
were lurking in the darkness within. The
policemen procured candle, explored the
loft, and every place Of possible concealment,
but without finding what they wanted.

ready this year has proved handsome
investment.
The experience this year of Martin
Martisson is sample of what thrift and
energy can do, and also illustrates the
vide spreading trade with other places
which The Dalles enjoys. Mr.. Mortis-
son has patch of ground about 100 feet
square, which he planted in cucumbers
He has already this season sold $3.50
worth to the Montana market, for
which check was received this morn
ing, and has disposed SO far of $40 or $50
worth to the local market. The Dalles
presents abundant opportunities in
many lines of business for people who
are desirous of succeeding, to find a
competence.
The Columbia Hose company held a
spirited meeting last night. The at
tendance OF members was large and
great interest ives shown at every point
of discussion. In some places the de-
bate grew quite warm. In the absence
of President Henry Maier, who was
prevented from being prese IT, the
vice president, Fred. Bailey OF cuI led
the chair. A motion was passed author
izing the treasurer to pay $12O as the
Columbia company's share in the new
racing cart. g. A. Clarke was elected
to membership in the company. The
action of the meeting in voting the
money for the cart makes its purchase
sure.

Some fields in the neighborhood have
not done go well, but as general thing
the yield will be much better than an
ticlpated. Mr.. Godfrey will begin
threshing next week.
There is some talk, in musical circles,
of reorganizing the old Mozart club,
which several years ago was such pop
ular institution in The Dalles. There
are good number of fine voices in the
city, and much enthusiasm could easily
be created among singers. In all prob
ability this winter will see such an or
ganIzation. With the vocal talent that
could be obtained and the orchestra, a
concert could be given that could not be
equaled, we are safe in saying, any,
where in the state outside of Portland.
The committee having in charge the
purchase of the racing cart, wired the
Rem Rubber company to ship it at
once. The fremen expect its arrival by
August 18th, which will give the boys
ample opportunity for practice before
the meeting of the tournament. The
Dalles is sometimes little slow in start
ing, but when once started it doesn't
stop till everything desired has been ac-
complished. The boys have shown
commendable enterprise to make prep
arations to give our city worthy repre-
sentation at Vancouver.
Mr.. NJ. A. Moody will leave tonight
for Chicago, where he will attend the

before the meeting will be the formula
ton of a general plan of extending the
work of the league with special reference
to plan of organization and education
for 1895. The location of national head
guar ters will also be settled. The meet
ing promises to be attended by all the
committeeman from the different states
Mr.. Moody will be absent ten days OF
two weeks.
Two serious accidents happened this
afternoon shortly after dinner. The
little child of F. A. Phelps, aged years
got hold of revolver and aecidently
shot himself through the forefnger Of
his left hand inflicting painful wound.
DIR. Hollister, who was called, thinks
the finger can be saved. A few minute.
later another call came, saying Mildred
the 3-year-old child of Bert Hawthorne,
had been seriously burned. She had
hbeen playing with matches, when he1
dress caught fire, severely burning hel
side. The little sufferer was made al
comfortable as possible. It is yet toe
soon for the doctor to tell how serious
the burning is.
The only efforts at salmon fishing
along the middle Columbia that ar,
meeting with any considerable success
are those of Mr.. Elliot, who is seint
fishing at Hood River bar. Yesterday
the Regulator carried twelve boxe
shipped to Portland from Hood River
and upon every steamer there is con
signment. Next year operations vii
be conducted on larner scale. Sein
fehiDg has been conducted with grea
success on the lower river, and seems t
be in the lead up here. The shore Ian,
