A Fake Lottery.

The bicycle craze had decidedly new
feature yesterday. There has been a
scheme for disposing of the machines of
the genuine lottery style, and yesterday
after drawing for the machine put up
by @. S. F Baker, when it was learned that
his sister, Mrs Koontz, had drawn the
lucky number the ticket holders became
suspicious and began to investigate. A
boy named Ferguson had drawn. the
ticket from the box, and it is claimed
that this particular ticket was crumpled
and soiled to such an extent that it
caused the first suspicion that all was not
right. Some of those interested inter-
viewed the Ferguson boy. who, it is said,
admitted that Baker had hired him to
do the drawing giving him ticket which
he held concealed in his hand when he
reached in the box, and which of course
he drew out and SO won the prize.
When this became known there was
considerable excitement and bad feeling
and the result was that Baker was ar
rested, charged with selling false and
fictitious lottery tickets. The case was
set for trial at o'clock this afternoon,
at which time the defendant and his at
torney, Judge Bennett appeared and, as
the latter had not examined into the
matter the case was continued until
o'clock this afternoon. The matter is
Before Justice Davis.

City Bonds Sold.

The bids for Dalles City bonds were
opened last night at o'clock and were
as follows:
A. II. Curtlss, of The Dalles, bid for
$4,000 worth, paying for each $500 bond,
$550.50, or 10 and 1-10th per cent. pre-
MUM.
Theis & Barroll, of Spokane, bid for
$4,000 worth, 2 and 1-2Oth cents pre-
MUM.
E. H. Rollins, of Boston. ~ cents
premium.
R. H. Hurd, Seattle, SO mills, pre-
MUM.
The bonds were sold to Mr.. Curtiss
and to Theis & Barroll. Mr.. Curtiss
pays to the city for $4,000 bonds, $22,-
020, and Theis & Barroll $40, ,s20. The
total is $62, $40, or 81, $40 premium.
The bid made by Mr.. Curtiss is pecul-
iarly gratifying. Itshows the confidence
our own business people who are thor
oughly acquainted with the country and
its resources have in it. The bids from
the outside are also good, all at pre-
MUM, though slight. The bonding of
Gne CITY lndeDteonesS Is grand thing.
1t cuts the interest charges down by one
fourth, and at the same time pays off
nearly $4,000 of the principal. With
economical management the city's in
debtedness should now be gradually
wiped out. The city's warrants now are
mostly in the hands of her own people
probably 50 per cent. of the whole
amount being owned here. The same
may be said of our county Indebtedness,
and besides this large share of Kick
itat county's script has found Its way
into the hands of Dalles people.
There is not business proposition
that crops up but shows that The Dallee
is one of the thriftiest business centers
in the Northwest and the ownership of
our county and city warrants is no ex-
cept1on to the rule.

Oh sir, it was Frank. Tell me

Yes, Yes, / had forgotten that my
Frank must be close to thirty now.

who we thought was drowned He
has come home to us and he has

God be praised for this, exclaimed
the old man, with tears in his eyes,
Mary, let us thank God for giving
US back our son. And as the two
good old people knelt, to thank Him
who watches over the orphan and the
widow, the old and the young, Frank
knelt reverently, and listened, as the
father poured on his thanks to God
for his mercies.
And deep down in his heart, Frank
thanked him, for putting it into his
thoughts to come home that day.
That evening there was happy
family, sheltered beneath the old farm
roof, as Frank told them of his sue
cess, since leaving home.
The next day he returned to the
city for his wife and children, and for
the next two months, everyone was
happy, especially little Frank, as his
father showed him the favorite spots
of his boyhood days, around the old
home. FRED r. CHASE.

Why you can have the water.
Give me but these, they are enough
To suit my humble notion,
And you can have for all your own

And It's a generous slice of earth.
And doubtless quite prolific.
If you can only drain it once;
The bed OF the Pacific.
And all l ask is Just this earth.

And / surrender all my claims
To every other planet.
And so you see cut my cloth
On a contracted pattern;
Give me the earth, drop all claim
To Uranus and Saturn,
Little I need, my wants are few,
Nor would have them greater

The poles and the Equator.
Give me the earth it's all ask,
For me and my wife Sarah,
Then III give all my fellow-men
A house lot in Sahara.
The earth is very, very small.
And not in good repair;

And Death, I'll not resist him,
For after death, I hope to get
