The following is the story otI"The
Confederate Spy" which wilI/be pro-
duced at the Baldwin operg house to-
night:
George Waterman, a Northerner, meets
a Southern belle with whom he falls in
love. She reciprocates his devotion, but
the two are separated in sentiment by q
gulf which appears insurmountable.
His sympathies are strong for the
North and he enllsts, while the girl is
an ardent devotee of the Southern cause.
She has brother who is Confederate
spy. He is captured and condemned to
death, and the Northern lover is captain
of the guard. When tue guard discov-
ers the relationship of his prisoner and
the girl when he loves plan is made
to save his life by substituting the body
of a dead soldier for the spy. The spy
is then required to sign a parole. The
plan is successful and the spy goes to
The North, where he remains until the
Close of the war. Waterman, however,
to death. He escapes the guard, and
his love for the cause prompts him to
again engage in battle. In the-struggle
with Ainslev, Confederate, Gen..
Banks is wounded and Waterman rem
ders him such valuable assistance that
he obtains reprieve for himself and
the spy, who in the meantime has been
discovered and placed under guard.
Waterman is himself wounded. how
ever. When the lovers next meet it
is in the North, at the close of the war,
and it does not take long to facilitate
the happy denouement. Following is

The Long Creek Eagle says that Hugh
Arbuckle recently found the skeleton of
a human being In an alkali lick on the
middle fork of the John Day, near the
mouth of Granite creek. While looking
after some stock, Mr.. Arbuckle was at
tracted to the lick by peculiar forma-
ton caused by the incessant licking of
the animals and the action of the ele-
ments for years past. What appeared
to be knee joint protruding above the
surface. led Arbuckle to vigorous efforts,
and with the aid of pick and shovel
what proved to be the remains of white
man were soon unearthed. Notwith-
standing the fact that they must have
lain for many years in this alkali forma-
ton, the bones were all well preserved.

Injuries BY Insects.

A young lady before retiring recently
noticed blow fy on her pillow, and
would not go to sleep until she bad
killed it. The following incidents will
excuse her alarm: The Oregonian re-
Gently published story about a fly de-
posting eggs in sleeping person nose.
The eggs hatched and it was with much
difficulty life was saved. An incident
capable of the fullest corroboration is
that of lady living near Hood River, in
whose ear, about two years ago, a spider
deposited eggs. They soon Matched, and
large numbers of infnitesimal spiders
commenced crawling out of her ear.
This caused her intense pain, and she
nearly lost her hearing. Cases are fre-
quent of spiders biting children, but be-
yond slight swelling and'sone pain no
harm is done.

Ftre Alarm system.

The committee on fire and water of the
city council have decided they will put
in a complete FIRE alarm system, if the
citizens take steps to procure the chem
ical engine. The engine will cost 81 ,425.
A fire alarm system is a system of divid-
ing the city into wards or districts, 80 that
the locality of fire may be indicated by
the strokes of the FIRE bell. If The
Dalles were subdivided into say fifteen
districts. each would contain but small
space, and the fire could be easily To-
Gated. The bell would strike once, then
2 pause, then five strokes, indicating the
humber Is, if that was the district in
which was the fire. The corner houses
surrounding an alarm box are usually se-
lected as the places for depositing KEYS,
SO that but little time is lost in sound
ing an alarm. Mr.. Jud Fish informs a
reporter that he is in correspondence
with the chemical engine company on
the price and expects satisfactory an
swer daily.

curse Of organized labor is the saloon. The

pounds and u little over four ounces OF
water, Two ounces of gummy and tartare0us
matter, little over two ounces of IN oily,
resinous substance, and a litio over two
ounces Of alcohol Take out the alcohol land
the remainder0fth Madeira wine is nausc-
Gus mess, which no one would think OF
drinking: Take the alcohol out Of beer, ana
It is sour sop, which no sane man would
dream OF taking into his stomach. Whis4 Y
consists OF nearly equal parts of water and
Impure alcohol, th9 latter containing fu8il
oil and some essential oils derived from tho
grain, which give it favor. 1t is the alcohol
which produces intoxoation, if imbibed in
sufficient quantity. There is nothing else in
any intoxicant which would commend it 10
the palate Of any man.
Now, the scientific verdict as TO alcohol is
that it is a poison, no more, 40 less, and, rs
poison, its action is first upon the nerve
centres. Its action is generally Mt first ia
fill the person with a serene and perfect solf-
complacency. His feelings and faculties arc
rendered moro intense from the stimulation
Of the nerves By The poison. With most per-
sons his is shown by increased vivacity and
a tendency to talk much moro than is
usual.
As intoxication progresses, the senses
gradually become hazy, a soft humming
seems to fill the pauSes in the conversation
1ilmy haze obscures the vision, the victim
finds it difficult to preserve his equilibrium;
next, objects appear double, or fit confused
before the eyes; the drunkard becomes bois-
ferrous, ridiculous; articulation becomes DIM
cult, and he finally falls 10 the ground in
