HALL DEDICATION.
Friendship Lodge at Home In Its New
Hall,

|
Friendship Lodge, No. 8, Z. of P, Il
now permanently located in its new
castle, the dedication ceremonies hav
ing been duly conducted by repre-
seutatives of the grand lodge Tuesday
night. The dedication services were
most imposing, and were witnessed by
large number of the members of the
lodge with their families together
with representatives from neighborine
lodges, but before giving an account
of the ceremonies it is probably well
to describe the hall.
The main lodge room is 37ix573 and
occupies portion of the second floor
of the new Vogt building, while to
the east is the banquet hall 274x3O.
connected with the main hall by large
sliding doors. The main hall is fur
nished throughout with new fixtures,
that have cost the lodge in the neigh
borhood of 81 900 apd are very elegant.
The canopies are OF the finest material,
and are suspended from gold and white
moulding, while in each is suspended
an an,incandescent light of the color cor.
responding with the color Of the
canopy. The wood work in both halls
is of Oregon cedar finished in natural
color, and the chairs and pes!estals,
which are neatly carved, are of the
same color as the wood work, present
ing handsome com mbination through.
out. The hall certainly is credit to
the order, one in which every member
may justly take pride.
The dedication ceremonies we're
commenced by Chancellor Commander
Grove calling the assemblage to order,
and instructing Master at Arms Smith |
to attend the representatives of the |
grand officer. When the grand off, |
GERS were introduced the body as pre-.
sized over by Judge W. L. Bradshaw,
the grand chancellor
commander, and ar appropriate ode
was sung by the lodge, then the i'm
pressive dedicatory ceremonies of the
order were conducted by the grand Of
ficers.
These ceremonies were followed by
3 scholarly address by Hon. John
in which he outlined the for
nation OF the order, Its aims and pur-
poses. Next William Crossen sang
'Out on the Deep" and responding to
4 hearty encore rendered that happy
melody Thursday" The orchestra
produced fine selections after which
Mrs. J. B. Huntington sang "When
,he Tide Comes in," and being vigor-
,usly encored sang "Won't You Tell
Me Why Robbin?" The next number
IN the program was quartet of male
7oices. consisting of Messrs. c. J.
stubling, W. E. Walthers, R. G. Da-
'enport and J. c. Hertz. The first
'iece rendered by the quartet was
What Beams 80 Bright" This was
eceived with such loud clapping OF
lands that the quartet reappeared and
ang "The Soldiers Farewell" After
mother rendition by the orchestra, :
nd the singing of the closing ode, the
all was cleared Of surperhuous frni- ]
ure, and the Knights and their guests
ndulged in dancing until the town
lock, by single stroke apprised them
f the advent of another day.
The dedication of Friendship Lodges
astle hall will long be remembered i-e
y all who were present as a happy
vent, and will be recorded in the an
ais Of the lodge as one of its most :
uccessful social achievements. q

Two Toughs Caught

Tuesday Sheriff Driver discovered
two suspicious looking characters
frequenting a China house in the city,
and after inquiring into their actions
deemed it advisable to take them In
charge. On examing their effects he
found quantity of uustamped opium
in their possession, also some counter
felt green backs. He took them before
U. S. Commissioner J. M. Huntington
who held them in bonds of 5000 each
to appear before the U. S grand jury
on a charge Of having unstamped
opium. They were taken to Portland
this afternoon. They gave their
names as Ernest Tickering and John
Ford. Ford claims To have been an
opium fieud, aud says the drug he had
was used as an antidote to assist in
curing him of the opium habit. Both
are tough looking characters, and
possibly are all-round crooks.

A Treacherous shotgun.

i. That guns are most dangerous things
to fool with was fully demonstrated at
White Salmon yesterday. Mr.. and
Mrs. Sleeve, who live at Camas Prairie,
WASH, got into small boat to cross
the river, and shotgun was carelessly
laid into the bottom of the boat. Mrs.
Sleeve caught hold Of the muzzle of
the gun to move it and drawing it
toward her, it was discharged. The
shot grazed her left side, tearing away
her clothing, bat fortunately none of
the shot entered her body. 1t was in
deed very narrow escape for the lady
for had the shot entered her side the
result would have been fatal.

TURNER'S TURN NOW
He Takes Advantage Of the Bounty on
Coyote Scaips to Raise tine Wind


The case of the state against Roy
Turner was tried in Justice Davis
court Thursday, Turner being &C.
cused of perjury in making an affidavit
that the scaips of some 43 coyotes
which he presented at the clerks office
were taken from those animals killed
In Kingsley precinct. The state al
leges that one, Joe Chapman, was con-
fined in the county Jail, and that while
SO confined the jailor gave him 43 coy
ote scalps that had been paid for by
the county and told him to burn them
in the stove in the jail corridor.
Chapman with laudable desire to
turn an honest penny at the county's
expense, and with a depraved con-
science and marble heart, Instead of
burning the scalps of the sheepmen's
enemies, deposited them in his valise
and upon getting out of jail turned the
headgear over to Turner. Turner in
turn turned the whole business over
to the county, making at the same
time the affidavit that the coyotes that |
furnished the scalps were killed in |
Kingsley precinct. The county clerk |
therefore turned Turner over certif-
cate that he had pay for 43 coyote
'calps coming, and Turner in turn

who in mis- turn turned Turner over a
couple of saddles, on thesprinciple that

vas taken before Justice Davis, who
ook the matter under advisement re-
urning Turner to the custody of the
heriff. Turner stands fair show of

Crops Not Injured.

Several prominent farmers of this
county were in the city yesterday,
says the Pendleton Tribune. The
blistering weather of the past few days
is said to have done some damage to
spring grain, but the outlook for the
most part is very encouraging. The
condition of the crops is said to be far.
better than at this time last year.
Tom Page, who farms several hundred
acres of wheat on the reservation, will
suffer lightly from the hot wave, al.
though cooler weather and some rain
he thinks will be necessary to save
any considerable part of the spring
grain. He is estimating so bushels to
the acre, under favorable weather
conditions.

Song Recital.


The song recital given by the pupils
of Miss Eliot at the Congregational
church Wednesday evening, was one of
the most pleasing entertain ments ever
given in The Dalles. The church was
filled to its utmost capacity, and the
audience showed the keenest appreci-
ation,- giving generous applause to
every number. The Lady Bird"
by the entire class was-the feature of
the evening and at its close the aud
ience refused to be satisfied Until the
class repeated the song. The Dalles
has some fine voices, and the recital
last evening showed the marked i'm
provement made under Miss Eliot's
teaching.

A Valuable Horse Saved.

The pacing horse Of E. G. Pease, Of
the firm Of Pease & Mays, of this city,
was taken seriously i'll with albuinu.
nuria caused by too much nitrogenous
material in the blood. For some hours
it was thought the animal would die,
he was placed in care of Veterinary
Surgeon DR.. A. L. Combs, and at this
date has completely recovered. This
animal is one Of the best bred repre-
sentatives OF the equine race in this
country. The cure reflects great credit
upon the doctor, as it is only two
weeks since W. ]. Kerr, of the firm of
Kerr B. Buckley, OF Grass Valley, lost
the imported stallion General Roch-
ambeau" of the same disease. Mr..
Kerr in spe aking of it last evening
said he had consulted the best Veter-
mary operators in Portland, and after
their efforts failed he was compelled
to shoot the horse to put him out of
his misery.

Engineer Hayes, Of the Southern Pacific
Cured.
Mr.. EDITOR, DEAR SIR:-I hold it
to be duty, as we'll as pleasure, to
make known through the press that
which of all other things is essential
to most, viz: The way to cure pain
and sickness. From Deem Der 1st to
29th 1 was confined to my house with
sciatic rheumatism, kidaey trouble
and inflammation of the neck and blad-
der and general indisposition. Could
not sleep more than an hour at time.
All means I tried proved unavailing.
I was prompted to visit DR.. Darrin
through the advice of my friends who
had been. cured by him, though l must
say I had little faith that electricity
would cure me. l came TO the doctor
on crutehes. Two weeks treatment
has cured me, so I've thrown away my
crutches and my other complaints
have all disappeared, so I can now
take command of my engine again.
W. HAYES,
9l4 Fifth street, East Portland, Or.
DR.. Darrin is now located at the
Umatilla. house., The Dalles, and will
remain until August L.

find Is made is- about IL miles long.
The upper ten miles are barren, gold
coming IN about two miles from its
mouth. There are about 20 claims
taken on this ground, covering every
foot of it, the canyon aud bars being
narrow. The creek empties into quite
large stream known as 'Niggerhead.'
and the latter runs about six miles
through box canyon, emptying into
the Cispus. There is small chance of
any more claims being taken on the
.reek. consequently it is hardly worth
while for anyone to go there. The
country east has not bsen prospected
and may develop something, but as far
as Mccoy creek Is concerned it is
waste of time for those not already
owning claims there to visit it.

Hinton Won the Rnce

Yesterday Messrs. r. r. Hinton, of
Bakeoven, and J. j. Cozart. of John
Day, arranged for a trotting race be-
tween their horses Hero and Jim Crow,
mile heats, two In three, for $50 side.
The race came OF on the fair grounds
at o'clock last night, and proved an
exciting contest, the horses being
very evenly matched. Mr.. Hinton's
horse Hero won the.first heat in 3:01 As.
In the second heat Mr.. Cozart pushed
Jim Grow for all there was in him, and
came under the wire two lengths in
advance of Hero; time, 2:57. When
the horses ecame up to the sceIe for
the third time there was considerable
excitement among the spectators, who
anticipated they would witness
pretty race, and they did. The horses
kept pretty nearly together for the
first half mile, and from there on Hero
forged ahead, and came through an
easy winner in 2:s7. Those who. wit
messed the race say it was one of the
best ever trotted on The Dalles track,
though better time has been made in
times past.

A rhirteeu-Year-oia wife.

County Commissioner Mcdonnell
was accosted on the street day or
two ago by man who said that he
wanted the board of county commits
sioners to send his wife to the reform
school, as she was unruly, says the
Walla Walla Statesman. Mr.. Nc
Donnell explained that the reform
school was not intended as q place
where wives should be disciplined.
but was for the purpose OF correcting
unruly children. The man said that
was all right, as his wife was only
thirteen years old, and he thought if
she was sent down there for few
years she would behave better on her
return. To say that our worthy friend
Mcdonnell was surprised only partially
states the case.
