 EMERSON'S MANY FINES.
 John Emerson was arraigned in the city court yesterday on the charge of drunkenness and assault on Charles w. Lockery and Constable George Schenck
 It appeared from testimony that Elm erson accosted Lockery and asked the latter to treat him. Lockery did so, and Emerson wanted another set-up. but his requests were not granted. Af- ter that a general fight followed in which a number took part, but like many of the prize fights of to-day, no blows were struck. When Emerson was placed under arrest by Constable Sehenck he made resistance and kicked the officer several times.
 Emerson was fined $1 for drunken ness, 80 for assaulting Lockery and $7 for resisting the officer. AN OLD FOUNDER LOCKED UP.
 Catharine Corners, whose record is quite long was again before Judge Dow yesterday morning. She was charged with the old count that has so often been preferred against her, and she told the old story she has so often told the court of how she would reform, but the story did not go, and she was giv- en thirty days in Jail to repent her foolish action.

LAST NIGHTS PLAY.
One of the Most Successful Ever Under
taken by Home Dramatists.


While it may be true that The Dalles
has had stronger dramatic productions
than "The Confederate Spy,' it is an
indisputable fact that no company ever
appearing here had as strong support
throughout the whole cast as those who
played last night to a crowded house at
the Baldwin. Never before has the
writer witnessed such perfection in de-
tail in the histrionic line as upon the
presentation of the war play-"The Con-
federate Spy" Each filed his arpro-
pirate niche to a nicely, displaying rare
good judgment in not exaggerating it's
importance, but improving to the full
the demand. This may be due in part
to the excellent drilling of Prof. Ras-
mus, but again without the material his
efforts would have been in VAN, and the
material we are proud of. We have lis
tened to them oft before, have cried and
laughed with them, we have applauded
them when they pleased US, and that
has been many, many times. 1t is no
exaggeration to say that the play last
night was as good as two-thirds of the
Iud1 flclO LIZ
Dalles.
OF the acting of Mr.. Harry Lonsdale,
who took the title role, nothing new can
be affirmed. As always, he invested the
character with great dignity and power
and his representation was so perfect as
to lose his own identity. A new sensa-
tion must have been experienced in the
minds of men who were purely in q
Northern environment, who believe the
word "rebep' stands for a spirit of ma
lignity, and they must have admitted
there was as high regard for the prin-
ciples of honor, integrity and manhood
south of Mason and Dixon's line during
war times as north of it.
Mr.. N. ]. Sinnott as George Water
man. was a character we'll sustained.
Without affectation or stiltedness Mr..
Sinnott took the part of the lover with
consummate tact and grace. His rare
dramatic abilities found ample express
sion in the third act in the rather
stormy interview with the spy.

ANOTHER PROMISE.
Senator Mitchell Says Ample Provision
for Lock Walls Will Be Made.

On Monday The Chronicle Publishing
Company wired to Senator Mitchell re-
garding the $4,000 appropriation,
claimed to be due to Messrs. Day by
Capt. Fisk. In view of the conversation
held by Messrs. Mac Allister, Judge
Bradshaw and Capt Gray with Capt.
Fisk, very unsatisfactory state of mind
resulted in the minds of tie people in
regard to these appropriations. An
answer was received this morning. Fol-
lowing is the text of both dispatches:
Hon. J. II. Mitchell, Washington, d. c..
Captain Fisk claims $40, 900 appropria-
ton unavailable for building walls in
inner lock at Cascades. Does river and
harbor bill contain other appropriation
for building temporary or permanent
walls. Wire answer.

Here is the reply:
The Chronicle, The Dalles Oregon:
Ample provision will be made either
in sundry civil or river and harbor bill
to build walls in inner lock.

The fruit crop of the Dry Hollow Sec
tion is said to be injured by the recent
cold weather. A loss of part of crop is
frequently a blessing in disguise. In
this country the trees are inclined to
overbear, and even if the entire crop
was killed the renewed growth of the
trees would compensate for the damage
to the fruit.
The Chinook work 'alki" is pro-
nounced alkey, and not al-ki, as it is
spelled. The word is never used by the
Indians to signify anything except some
time in the future. 1t means after
awhile, or by-and-by. Tenas alki means
in little while, and HAS alki signifies q
long time in future. The seal of the ter
ritory of Washington contained the word
''alki," signifying that after awhile the
territory would merge into statehood
and the designers of the state seal
very properly omitted it, for the
prophecy which it had signified had
finally been fulfilled.
