The attraction at the opera house to-
morrow evening will be Lincoln ]. Car
terss great scenic melodrama, 1.-THE Fast
tMait" 1t has been one of the greatest
successes known to the stage for years
1t has a story of thrilling interest, and
sthe scenic and other mechanical effects
aare said to be marvellous There Is a rep
resentation of an engine room on Mis-
isissippi steamboat, with the furnaces un-
der the boilers in active operation. A
VERY realistic train of cars shoots across
ethe stage, and the Niagara Falls scene
is one of the most elaborate and daring
things ever undertaken In the drama.
1t Is described as beautiful. vivid and
accurate representation of that stupen-
sdous marvel of nature. IS
Il The falls are shown by moonlight, with
sthe roaring and plunging waters and the
mist that rises from the seething cur
rent. One of the most prominent of the
plays features is the complete freight
train of fourteen cars, with an illuminate
ed caboose, drawn by practical locomo-
tive. The play itself has thrilling situa-
tons in abundance, plenty of humor to
tighten it's tone and give 1t an agreeable
flavor throughout Seats are now on

GOT ONLY a FOURTH.
Five Hundred and Fifty-Two Dollars
for the Loss of wheel.

Mr.. j. M. Huntington returned last
night from Portland, where he has been
as witness in the right of way cases of
the proposed boat railway.
Mr.. Huntington SAYS the award of
damages in Mr.. MichelPs case was very
disappointing, and contrary to the in
structions of the court, who saw that
Mr.. Michel was damaged very mate.i.
ally. In fact, says Mr.. Huntington,
Michel was damaged more than any of
the others, for he loses entirely a good
fishing site by the right of way crossing
the channel. Mr.. Michel had said he
wanted no damage whatever if the right
of way did not cut him out of a fish
wheel, and if the road was farther from
the river he did not want cent, but
would be glad to aid the road by
giving it free right of way over
his land. 1t was afterwards found
i'm mpracticable to change the survey,
however. The present survey has but
two curves in eleven miles, and the
route cannot be changed. Mr.. Michel
asked $4,000 damages for two-thirds
interest.
The other suits to be decided are by
I. "a. Tafe and Theo. Seufert. Tafe
claims damage of $25, 900. He loses
no wheels but has sidetrack from the
o. R. & N. line to his fishery, thus en-
abling him to ship fish in refrigerator
cars. The building of the boat railway
between his fishery and the o. R. & N.
line will prevent him from having
sidetrack. which VIII be damage to his

Killed by a Runaway.

While Mr.. Perry Watkins and hired
man named William Marshall were
coming to town this morning in a hack,
they were run into by runaway team
from behind, driven by Mr.. Irvine
Julian. This occurred at the site of the
new oil tank, and the tank scared
Julian's horses. The tongue of Julian's
wagon, with the neckyoke, struck Wat
kins and Marshall in the back, thrust
ing them forward over the hack, which
then passed over them, as well as the
horses and wagon belonging to Mr..
Julian. One of the horses stepped upon

lit was discovered that he was Injured
internally and bis injufies proved fatal.
He died two hours later at the residence
of his daughter, Mrs. G. f. Bay ard :.
where he was conveyed. -/
The chief injury to Mr.. Marshall was
broken foot, which will lay him up
for several weeks. Mrs. Julian received
severe bruises. but was not seriously
hurt.
Mr.. Watkins was SO years of age. He
leaves three children. Mrs. Bayard.
George and Frank Watkins. George is
now in Spokane and Frank in Wasco.
They have been telephoned to, and may
be present at the funeral, which will
take place on Monday. Mr.. Watkins
came to Wasco county in 1868. where he
has lived continuously ever since. His
farm Is about eight miles from the city.

The Lutherans and Pastor.

Rev. L. Grey, the new minister of the
Lutheran church here, is rapidly build
ing up large congregation, and his
efforts deserve to be crowned with the
fullest success, as they doubtless will
be. He is a good worker. He finds
there are about $50 men and women in
The Dalles who have at some time past
belonged to the Lutheran church-a
larger membership, he believes, than
any other Protestant church in the city.
Many are slow in attending services,
having been out of the habit of attend
ing church for so long, but all have con-
tributed generously to the work Mr..
Grey finds plenty of reason to be thank
full for the way the church work is pro-
crossing, and soon this noble old church
organization may have an edifice of it's
own in The Dalles.
