The cow Ordinance to BE EnfoFcsd.
Adjourned.

The marshal informs US that the COW
ordinance will be strictly enforced from
today. Owners of all COWS who have
been in the habit of allowing them to
roam about the streets will act the part
of wisdom by hereafter keeping them
confined. The loose COWS have been a
source of great annoyance all summer.
There is one that has run after children
several times. Many of them can open
a gate as quickly as the owner and often
injure gardens, lawns and trees. The
increasing duties of the marshal, espe-
cially since the Office of street commits
sioner ha merged into it, has rendered it
impossible for that official to run dow n
and impound cows. Saturday night, there
fore, the council took suitable action in
giving the marshal authority to hire an
assistant to do this work, the fees to pay
for the service.

Mrs. Turner's Body.

The body found in the river Saturday
proved to be that of Mrs. Turner. The
fisherman who discovered it floating
took it for a sturgeon, but rowing to 1t
found it was human body. He was
unwilling to secure it then, but going to
Hood River told Mr.. Winans, and both
returned for it. 1t was fastened with a
rope and the coroner summoned. The
water had preserved the body very well,
and but for the face being bloated looked
very natural. The clothes, shoes and
stockings showed no evidences of wear,
except the sleeves of the dress, which
were missing. The arms were spread
widely apart. A coffin was taken to the
riverside and the body placed therein
and taken to The Dalles. The deceased
was buried yesterday morning adjoining
the grave of Mrs. Whitaker.

The mayor said that some property

replace the old wooden sidewalks with a
four-foot asphalt walk, with two feet of
gravel or cinders on each side, and de-
sired favorable legislation by ordinance
permitting them to construct such a
walk. No action, but council was favor
able. Nolan moved that gravel be

was read over to him an almost inter-

without any consecutive order and

The young man stood all the time
with his attention deeply fixed and his
eyes half closed. When the long string
of words had been read off, he looked
up cheerfully and repeated the whole of
the uninteresting catalogue of words
without a single fault. Then, to show
how carefully his wonderful memory
had retained every word, he went
through the list backward. When that
task was finished. he took each alter.

repeated them until the company was
