They Are the People"

The legislators of Oregon and Wash

time being "they are the people.
The day is not far distant, though, be-
fore many of them, like their predeces-
sors, will for obvious reasons wish they
had never seen the respective state
houses. OF course they will all re-
member some pleasant features con.
nected with the service of their con-
stituents, such as free entertain ment,
passes, ETC.; but between the ''pull" of
the Office seeker, the fine and coarse
work of the lobby member and the
thousand and one vexations, many
will get enough of the ''good thing"
But the citizens who spend this same
season their time and money travelling,
and who use the Wisconsin Central
lines between ST. Paul or Minneapolis
and Chicago or Milwaukee will be sub
ject to no such annoyances. They will
get the best service on earth and
square meal at reasonable cost. For
particulars address Geo. S. Batty,

A SOCIAL SUCCESS.
The Charity Ball Given by the Elks a
Grand Social Event.

The Charity Ball Given by the Elks q
Grand Social Event.
No pleasanter event ever occurred in
The Dalles than the charity ball given
by Cascade Lodge, No. 303, B. P. o.
Elks, at the Vogt opera house last
night. The large hall was most taste
fully decorated, presenting prettier
scene than ever before. Around the
walls were neat drapings and numbers
of elks' heads. while the stage presented
the appearance of miniture forest. In
the center stood large mounted elk,
while near its side was live deer, and
in front was a profusion of potted
plants and evergreen, including two
large cedar trees.
Promptly at $50 the orchestra opened
with a. splendid selection, and the
grand march began, lead by Judge and
Mrs. G. G. Blakeley, in which were
some $50 of the youth and beauty of
The Dalles. Elegantly costumed ladies
and gentlemen in full dress were in
evidence throughout the spacious hall,
and it was evident from the pleasant
expression shown on every face that
the efforts put forth by the Elks to |
entertain their guests was appreciated. |
Dancing continued uninterrupted
until the hour when all Elks remember |
their absent brothers, and as the bell |
on the stage toled the hour of eleven
all Elks assembled around a table in
the center OF the hall, sang Auld Lang
Syan, and drank toast of pure and
sparkling water to the brothers who
were absent. Dancing was resumed
again, and continued until o'clock.
The ball was pronounced success
in every respect. The attendance was
large, the music was the best, and the
dancers, we'll, none ever rjoyed
better. The receipts of the
ball too were satisfactory, being such
as will aid the different societies of
the city to extend relief to many who
are in need of assistance.

Miss Griswold's Recital.

Only small audience greeted Miss
Griswold at the Vogt last evening.
though those who were there were well
entertained, the musical renditions by
Miss Georgia Sampson and Mr.. Charles
Clark being exceptionally fine, and
Miss Griswold's recitations were in
deed splendid. She is by odds the best
elocutionist who has ever appeared in
The Dalles, her voice being under per-
feet control and indicates most careful
training. Her rendition of the
Raven" which is perhaps one of the
most difficult English selections to re-
cite. was perfect, and in fact all her
selections were recited as only q
thorough elocutionist can.

Penalty for Defaulting.

Yesterday Geo. R. Lash, the default.
city recorder Of Pendletou, appeared in
Judge Lowell's court for sentence.
His counsel, Colonel j. 81. Raley, made
a statement, asking leniency, and the
court imposed sentence of 81 years
in the penitentiary, and a fine of
$4,000. Judge Lowell then instructed
that the grand jury be brought, and
delivered a charge to them, which de-
manded that they make searching
investigation to discover others. if any
were implicated, whether of high or
low degree, and bring them to justice.
The Investigation will be most thor
ough, and the matter probably fully
cleared up to the satisfaction of all the
people and the court.

at better prices. 1t is interesting that
almost all prices which change at all
are lower than week ago, and yet
business is unquestionably larger.
There is larger production, but as yet
not as much increase in consumption,
and there is larger buying of material,
but at present only because better
prices are expected in the future. A
few conspicuous failures during the
week have had no material influence.
The market for securities is slightly
stronger, and yet there is very little
doing. Tne number Of hands employ
ed, all industries considered, is slight
iy larger than week ago, with ad-
verse changes in the rate of wages.
All apprehension of foreign disturb
ance of money markets has passed
away, but there is still q eat caution
in making loans. 1t is a mistake to
reckon this as symptom Of deTres-
sion. On the contrary, in spite of the
lower range of prices in importar in
dustr1es, the conditions all Indicate
larger production and a consumption
increasing, not as yet largely, but
steadily.
Wheat, corn and cotton exports are
the key to the financial situation, and
during the pas+ week wheat has de-
clined g., and cornSc.
The heavy buying of wool mentioned
last week has continued with smaller

Failures for the week have been 409
in the United States against 373 last

WEaSTER'S LEGAL EARNINGS.
Little Leather-Covered Book That Give

A Little Leather-Covered Book That Gives
His Receipts.
One of our correspondents has been
SO lucky as to fall in with a little
leather-covered book, like those of
bank depoSitors, which contains Dan
iel Webster's autograph record of his
legal receipts. This chronicle, says
the New York Evening Post, fills twen-
ty-eight pages and extends a little
more than from 1888 to 1886, inclusive.
The first entry, dated September in
the former year, is of $50, and the
second is of $50, for retainers on the
New Hampshire circuit. The first fee
of 81, 900 was paid in May, 1884, by a
Mrs. Badger. Services regarding Gil
ley's will commanded $500. The total
amount for the first year was footed up
as S13, 14O, with the remark: 'Scptem-
Der 90, 1884, thus done and concluded" ;"
A similar summing up appears at the
close of each other year. The second
total is S15, 1874; the third is S21, ,793.
The first entry OF 5000 was in 1885,
March Z; the first of 5000 December
in the same year. The last payment
was in respect to Florida land. The
largest single hoDoreriun was $500.
In February OF the fourth year 5000 is
set down as bestowed in Il case OF Trim
ity church (Ncw York;. In turning over
this record leading metropolitan and
even provincial lawyers are astonished
that Webster, already twenty years in
Boston, SO undervalued his services
He learned better at last. When Rob-
ert C. Winthrop looked up the earliest
date he said: That's just the time
was ending my studies in Webster's
Office and the chirograph led him to
add that Webster never wrote firm
hand. Nobody has surveyed the relic
with more interest than DIR. o. w.

larity of the proceedings in the house,
takes the position that neither house
has authority to judge of the organiza-
tion of the other, hence believes the
senate should not refuse to recognize
the house when regularly notified, by
an authorized committee, of its organ
ization. Senator Micheli takes di
rectly the opposite view. His position
is that the senate cannot recognize the
house until all constitutional require
ments have been complied with, and
that the senate has the right and is in
duty bound to inquire into the regular
ity of the house organization. Mr..
Huntington, having participated in
the organization, evidently approves
the action taken, though had little to

horse, leaving mis- rifle strapped to the
saddle, when the animal ran away. 1t

of the mountains, and in searching for
his horse he lost his bearings. He had

grew very cold and he made fire,
which attracted some small birds.
Stuart caught about dozen of them

o1- -
birds. One day an elk rubbed against
a tree within two yards OF him, but he
had nothing to kill it with. Then
frog crossed his path, but he was not
strong enough to catch up with it.
When he was nearly dead two Indians
found him and took him into their
camp to have fun with him. They fed
him up SO as to get strong enough to
run while they could beat him with
tepee poles. One night he escaped,
stole horse and got away. He got
lost in the mountains again, and dog
goned if his second horse didn't get
away from him! He wandered around
again for three or four days, and then,
when he had given up completely and
lain down to die, some Of the party who
had gone out to hunt him up came
across him and carried him to camp. 1t
is devoutly believed in Montana that
nothing can kill Granville Stuart. He
was mighty hunter in those days, too.
He has the record of killing sixteen elk
from one spot, without getting up. He
is a man of powerful mind, and will
uphold the stars and stripes and all
that they mean in his new position"
