Emperor VILLA m as Band Leader.


The emperor of Germany is a man
of versatile accomplishments and rarely
rests any length of time without ap-
pearing in some new role. Recently
he was entertained at dinner by his
officers of the cuirassiers and enjoyed
himself thoroughly-so much so that
he prolonged his stay over six hours.
AS the time went by he entered into
conversation with the bandmaster on
the subject of historical marches Win
quick. impetuous movement the en-
peror jumped to his feet and, summon
ing the musicians Of the band, seized
the baton and conducted the "Hohen-
friedburg March," by Frederick the
Great. As his baton fell on the fnal
lsnote and the music ceased he turned
land, in an enthusiastic manner, crleo
out:
"Ah, it is fine like that! I'll have II

Sherwin took Elsie. There was little
between the Sherwin In

Mrs. Marvin's. While he waited for her
he sat in the back parlor and talked
to Mrs. Marvin with as much COM
posure and ood-fellowship as II he had
not been plotting to deceive her. Elsie
came downstairs in her fluffy white
gown and long white cloak, her dark
hair piled high on the top Of her head,

Of the roses Sherwin had sent her.
And Sherwin, looking at her as she

not wonder at Hetherly's desperation.
They went to the hall and Sherwin
danced the FIRST dance with her and
then left her, not only to dance with
Hetherly, but to walk home with him
after the ball.
That was in the spring. and all sum-
mer the little drama went on. Sher'
win took Elsie to parties and Hetherly
took her home. Sherwin took Elsie Il

Mr.. Moody Does Not own It.


In Mondays issue of The Oregonian IAN
item from Gillian county was published
concerning the breaking down of the
Leonard bridge spanning John Day
river, and the destruction of two freight
Wagons with their loads, and the death
Of five horses owned by Sam Grant. The
statement was also made that the bridge
Was owned by Malcolm Moody, of The
Dalles. and that 1t had been condemned
ieveral years ago by the bridge inspect
brs. In justice to Mr.. Moody, it is now
Stated that he had no interest whatever
! in the bridge, either by lapse of mort
gage or other way, and he is in no way
concerned in the property. The mistake
probably is due to the fact that some
years ago Governor Moody had an ac-
quired interest in the bridge over the
Des Chutes river, but that structure has
been torn down and replaced by an en-
tirely new one. The bridge across the
John Day, at Leonard's crossing has
been owned by w. Lair Hill and William
Grant, for years past. and at no time has
Mr.. Malcolm Moody had any interest in

stock shipping Season.

This is the season of the year when a
great deal of stock centers at The Dalles
for shipment. Cattle, having fattened
on the nutritious bunch grass of the
country surrounding, are in prime con-
dition for the butchers block, and are
driven to The Dalles stock yards for
shipment either east or west while
sheep, relieved of their warm coat of
wool, change their winter for their sum-
mer range by being driven to The Dalles
for shipment across the river. The
400 head of fat cattle which were
shipped out of The Dalles last night to
Montana, were followed today by an
equal number. purchased by Mr.. Ben
Snlpes from cattlemen across the river.
Both lots are destined for Montana. A
third shipment of Klickltat county cat
tie is expected in few days. The
Regulator was b1sy yesterday forenoon
in transferring 1 500 head of sheep to
Stevenson. They belonged to Mr.. H.
w. Wells. and are to be driven to Mt.
Adams range. This is the second ship
ment within week of sheep being
driven to their summer range; the for
mer shipment numbering 5000 head.
Two carloads of horses, also, belonging to
Geo. Mccoy, were shipped to Troutdale
yesterday.

Yentirely new feature in the transporta-
tion service of Oregon. Col. John G..
Day and his son, Isaiah N. Day, who
have completed the locks at the cas-
cades, will now engage in a business
that promises almost to revolutionize
the transportation service of the Inland
Empire. The purpose is to place on the
Columbia river a fleet of steel built
steamers especially designed for swift
water navigation, and also to be oper-
ated in connection with the proposed
boat railway, between The Dalles and

prise, will leave for the East in a few
days, to visit the various shipYards. He
will order the construction of steel hulls
for two steamers especially designed for
Columbia river traffic, the plates and
ribs to be made of the hIghest-grade of
steel, SO as to secure strength and light
ness. Each vessel will be provided with
screw propellers, and twin auxiliaries, the
latter specially designed, with telescope
| shields, so they can be readily operated
in case of extreme necessity.
! One of the new boats will be put in
service on the upper Columbia river
the other will be run between Portland
and The Dalles, passing through the
locks at the Cascades.
The purpose of the new company will
be to engage not only in local traffic, but
also in other industries, along the mid
die Columbia section, when business
justifies additional investment.

hne grey mares loose to Craze, for rest

shelter from the storm. A thunder bolt
struck one OF the mares within few
feetof the house and kiIied.her instantly.
She dropped rigid in death, not moving
a muscle. A mouthful of grass which
she had gathered remained in her jaws.
The hair burned slowly from her body
and the air was filled with the stencil of
burning flesh. The other mare, which
stood by her mate, was knocked down
by the shock, and she was also thor
oughly singed by the lightning flash.
Mr.. Marsilliot and others in the house
were affected for time by the frightful
shock, but they soon recovered, and ex-
perlenced no serious results.
