MT. He1brIng Returns.


Mr.. H. Herbring, one of The Dalles
leading merchants, has returned from
his annual buying trip to New York
City, arriving Saturday morning after an
absence of three weeks. Mr.. Herbring
has much to say of interest to our read
ers. New York state is deep in the
struggles of the campaign. He finds
that about 50 per cent. of the business
men, irrespective of party affiliations,
are for Mckinley and Hobart, and the
tops of the huge business buildings are
nearly all flying large banners with
various political mottos upon them, all
argumentative for the election of Nc
Kinley. Coming home he met two inn
mense trains, loaded with Grand Army
veterans, returning from reunion at
st. Paul, the sentiment among them
being practically unanimous for McKin-
ley. The business outlook is improving.
Cotton goods have generally advanced
45 per cent. There has also been an up
ward tendency in leather, and the mar
ket is stiffening in nearly all lines of
trade. Referring to his own purchases
he states that he secured very hand
some line of ladies cloaks. jackets, capes
and wraps at good discount, and ex-
poets to open them up for inspection
here in about ten days.

Free LECTURE. to Parents.

Rev. F. w. Parker delivers free lee
ture tonight at the Congregational
church, subject 'sThe Work of the
Teacher and the Relation of the Parent
to that Work. The lecture is very
important one for every parent who de-
sires the best results to be obtained in
the education of their children. Mr..
Parker will show that the duty of the
parent is not ended in merely procuring
books and sending their children to
school each morning, but that they may
work in harmony with the teacher, and
1T the little ones under their charge to
occupy better stations in life and give
them better and purer ideas of life. Mr..
Parker gave very interesting talk to
the high school scholars this morning.
No one is doing more important work
in the world than the lecturer, and THE
CHRoNIcLE bespeaks for him crowded
house.

I The eighteenth and last concert of the
season was given by The Dalles band at
the school grounds yesterday. There
was present the usual large attendance.
Though these audiences have been less
demonstrative than the fine character of
the concerts warrant, they have been af-
forded much pleasure and sincerely re-

Mr.. Lander, concerning whom an ar
ticle appeared in Fridays CHRONICLE
about meeting a bride in The Dalles,
corrects us on some important points,
which throws an entirely new light up
on he'affair, and makes it apparent our
informant was in error. He has known
the lady concerned for early FIVE years,
the acquaintance not originating, as
stated, In a matrimonial advertisement.
While she came TO meet him for the pur-
pose as stated, she left with his entire
knowledge and consent, and by mutual
agreement. Her expenses being paid
by him, Included. of course, the
hotel bill. Mr.. Lander has taken the
article much more seriously than the
spirit in which it was written. We
therefore regret the serious construction
he has put upon it and gladly publish
the above corrected facts.
