lag duties OF watching the stills.

Major Gallagher, the newly ap-
pointed agent at the Warm Springs
Indian reserve, is reported dangerously
Ill. His son, P. Gallagher, OF Idaho,

Silver democrats in The Dalles are
generally satisfied with the nom1na-
tion of Bryan for president, and
majority of the gold men OF the party
prefer him to Mckinley. His nomina-
tion meets the approval of local popu-
lists and silver republicans, and II no
one is nominated at St. Louis on the
22d, he will likely get their support.
Rev. Edwards Davis, the gifted ora
tor and poet of Oakland, Cal, will en-.
tertain the people Of The Dalles with

evening. Rev. Davis has acquired
considerable notoriety as sensational
pulpit orator, and possesses the happy
faculty of entertaining his hearers
wherever he speaks.
Yesterday DIR. Hollister had q rather
interesting and, at the same time, diff
fcult task setting broken bone for
an old Indian named Cayote, who in q
difficulty with another brave, on the
4th, received fracture OF the elbow.
The arm was swollen to about three
times its natural size, and caused the
old Indian intense suffering, but he
endured the pain with the pronounced
stoacism of his race while the doctor
successfully put the broken bone in
place.
The council committee on health
and police should look after the stand
ing water between First and Second
streets. It is prevented from running
into the river by the back water from
the Columbia which fills the sewers,
and having received the refuse from
the sewers for the past few. weeks has
become very impure, emitting most
offensive odor, which will certainly
result in much sickness. We would
suggest that the authorities have this
dead water pumped out 30 thas 1t may
be replaced with fresh water from the
river
