How They Were Conducted at Court

THE DALLEs, May 20, 1897.
| ED. TINES -MoUNTAINEER:
Thinking that your readers might
like to hear from one, who spent a
pleasant hour in attendance upon the
closing exercises of the Court street
school, send the following:
The three schools under the leader
ship of their teachers, Misses Cheese,
Ball and Smell united in the exercises,
holding them in the large upper room
of the brick building.
The exercises at the close of the
school year are always interesting; and
to the children mark one of the most
enjoyable days in school life, and in
these exercises at this building they
truly did seem to enjoy themselves.
The program began with "A Song
of Spring." it was sung by eight little
girls dressed in white); and their
voices blended in unison and their
happy faces showed the joy that spring
brings to their lives.
Eva Bagley recited comicle selec-
tion entitled "Getting an Early Start"
which was we'll received.
Lulu Hoyle's recitation "Back to
Griggsby" was nicely recited and en-
joyed.
The vocal solo by Lulu Nicholas
described the arrival of little baby
brother "who came to stay" and the
troubles experienced by the four-year-
old in consequence.
"They say" and its effect on us all,
was what Luella Nelson told us about
in her recitation.
Dean James recited pathetic little
poem entitled "Papa's Letter." It was
nicely delivered.

little ladies. Una Wilson and Madge |
Varney, was appreciated.

ton "The Dying Soldier" in Hugh's

1t is Not Being Realized in Any Class of

Editor TIMES -MoUNTAINEER:
Last fall the republican papers and
camraigners warbled sweetly of Nc
Kinley and prosperity. The promise
was, that prosperity wouli date from
the moment it was known that McKin-
ley was elected. That would restore
confidence, and confidence was the
only factor needed. Money was plen-
tiful, and would seek investment in a
thousond channels that would demand
labor. But what do we see-industry
half paralyzed, trade stagnant, values
depressed and still shrinking, enter
prise stihed and the productive power
of labor palsied, our commerce idle
upon the sea, our immense resources
useless in cur hands.
Business reporters like Dun & Co.
or Bradstreet's report gloomy out
look. In recent report Bradstreet's
says: "The unexpected falling off in
the request for staple goods within a
month results in a period of compar-
ative calm at time when a general
revival in demand had been looked
for" This calm is paralysis: this
calm is stagnation, brought about by
enforced idleness. Again, Bradstreet's
says: Interior merchants continue
to buy for nearby wants. That is,
they buy supply for only few days,
a sort Of hand to mouth trade, lack
of confidence or lack of money that's
not cowardly.
Dun says: Nothing can be said Of
the cotton manufacture, which still
lacks demand enough to lift prints
above the lowest point ever known,
and prices of other grades of cotton do
not improve"
These reporters are probably not
politicians, but givenus the solid facts
as they exist. Again, the American
Federation of Labor, in q memorial
sent to the president, his cabinet and
to congress, a few days ago, declare,
that destitution among laborers is in
creasing until it is already appa ling.
In this memorial they state that
three million workers are idle. Well
may these toilers in the language of
their memorial ask: "Whether the
interests of trusts and syndicates, mon
opolies, corporations and moneyed
men, is of more Importance than the
welfare of the toilers."
Thus it is that business and organ
lied labor speak of the promised pros
perity. promised not in faith of full
fillment, but for the purpose of giving
advantage to the money kings in their
great effort to debase and subjugate
labor. Organized labor is sweating
under its load of keeping up wages,
and ere long that sweat of blood will
flow, to scorch and dry up the little
selfish prosperity that gold has brought
to a few. ZENO.

BACTERIA AND ToBAcco.

A Theory That Inoculation May Improve
the Flavor of the Leaf.
1t would hardly be imagined that
there was much connection between
bacteria and tobacco, but the progress
in the science of bacteriology, which
is now making such rapid strides, has
shown that such is the case. Although
some bacteria are so deadly, others are
found to be of the greatest possible
service to mankind. 1t has been dis
covered that these minute organisms
play an important part in determining
the quality of tobacco. The leaves of
the tobacco plant before they are
worked up into cigars and finally
handed over to the public undergo GER
tain Preventative changes. 1t was
formerly supposed that the alteration
in their condition thus brought about
was due to purely chemical changes,
but sOlae experiments recently made
arc regarded by the Louisville Courier
Journal as going to show that these
important results are brought about
By special micro-organisms. In a pa
per read before the German Botanical
society, SHETLAND gives an account of
his Investigations on the bacteria
found il different kinds of tobacco.
Tie has examined fcrmented tobaccos
from all-parts of the world, and found
that they contain plenty of micro
organisms, although but few varieties,
as rule, but two or three different
species in any particular brand, and
but rarely micrococcus FORMS He
finds that pure cultures of bacteria OBJ
tained from one kind of tobacco and
inoculated on to another kind gener-
ated il tie latter taste and aroma re-
calling the taste and aroma of the
original tobacco from which the bac-
terra had been IN the first instance OBJ
taincd. This discovery suggests great
possibilities. Thus, it is limited that in
the future it may be possible to raise
the quality OF German tobacco, not SO
much by careful Culture and judicious
selection of varieties, which has SO far
proved comparatively unsuccessful, as

Choked and Robbed.

Abort 1890 Friday evening G. Sand
mann, carpenter who rooms in the
east end, was overpowered in the alley
next to the TINES ES-MOUNTAINEER Of
tice, and was robbed of S5.55 in coin, his
tobacco and a few other articles he had
in his pockets. He was passing south
on Court street, and when opposite the
alley, was overtaken by two men, one
of whom, "a large, powerful fellow,
threw his arm around .Sandmann's 8
neck and dragged him off the sidewalk
and into the alley. While the big fellow
held and choked him into insensibility.
his companion, who was smaller. went
through Sandmann's pockets and re-
lieved him of his possessions. The
city authorities believe they have the
robbers spotted, and arrests will prob
ably be made soon.

HONOR TO THE DEAD,
Fitting Tribute to the memory of Citi-
zens and Soldiers,

Fitting Tribute to the memory of Citi-
zens and Soldiers,
Memorial day was doubly observed
in The Dalles. Memorial services were
conducted at the M. E. church Sunday
evening, where Rev. J. H. Wood de-
livered a patriotic address, doing hon.
or to the departed citizen and soldier
alike, and Monday afternoon the G..
A. r. and W. r. c., under the escort
! of Co. G, o. N. G., proceeded to Sunset
cemetery to place garlands upon the
graves of those who have gone to the
| beyond.
The exercises at the cemetery were
brief but singularly impressive. A
large number of citizens were in at
tendance and the throng which gath
| cred around the soldiers monument
showed by their department how deep
| ly significant the day was to them all.
The ritualistic exercises were con-
Quoted by h. H. Leonard, commander
of the local G. A. r. post, and the
beautiful language and sentiments of
the service lent solemnity to the
proceedings which few occasions Gre
ate. The exercises were intersperced
with singing by the High School quar-
tete.
AS it had been requested in the gen.
eral orders that Lincoln's oration at
Gettysburg should be given promi-
nent place in the days observance, Col.
]. M. Patterson stepped to the front
and read that matchless production.
Among all the heritages which orators
have left to succeeding generations
the words of the martyred president
uttered on the day of dedicating the
Gettysburg cemetery will occupy front
rank.
At the conclusion of this part of the
program the old soldiers filed in line
around the monument. each one de-
posting floral tribute as he spoke
the name of the company and regiment
to which he belonged. 1t was an i'm.
pressive and instructive sight to see
the veterans thus honoring their fallen
comrades and it was privilege which
our boys and girls could well esteem,
that though removed from the active
scenes of deadly war they were able to
see the peaceful commemoration of the
nations triumph participated in by
men who bore the brunt in those awful
days
After the soldiers had finished their
exercises the Womans Relief Corps
took up the program and passed
through beautiful and touching rit-
ualistic service. There was an abun-
dance of floral tributes, and ere the
close of the proceedings the soldiers
monument was hidden in bank of |
roses. At the close america" was
sung, soldier and citizen, veteran and |
youth age and innocence all joining in
the words of that grand old song.
Many of the graves were appro-
priately decorated and after the conclu- /
sion of the exercises detail of Ma
tional Guardsmen placed tributes of |
commemoration on the resting places
of those of their comrades who have
heard the last tattoo.
Although the day was blustery the
services lacked nothing to
make them appropriate, and as the
silent throng filed out the cemetery
gate it was with feeling that the
lessons of patriotism cannot be too
deeply learned.
