ASHAMED OF HIS GLuNDeR.


Zeal OF a Hound Led Him into a siorti-
flying Mistake.
Up among The green hills of Vermont
two country ball n;res were contend;ng
for supremacy one hot afternoon IN an
Did pasture. Among the. assembled
spectators was sad-faced, loI-eared
'houn' dog" which had previously
been investigating the contents of a
woodchuck hole. lie had worked his
passage in, says Forest and Stream, un-
til no dog was visible, but q steady
stream of dirt shooting out Ike the
blast frcr1 the LlcwFipc cf a sav1nill
proclaimed that the investigation was
still on. Becoming tired of this, the
hound was sitting down watching the
home team getting done up," when
suddenly, without warning, he shot
across the field with n trajectory as fiat
as 32:40 and with nearly the same
velocity. The cause was soon appar-
ent. Several little girls were coming
up through Il hollow and one was just
tall enough for her brown hat to show
through the fringe of grass or the ris-
ing ground in front. When the hound
came near enough for the supposed
woodchucl1 to merge into hat with
girl under it he stopped an instant with
q look of Mortified surprise. A veil
arose from the assembled farmers who
had seen the incident, and this so NOR.
Liied the hound that he made straight |
for home and was invisible for several |
lays.

and Miss Katie Craig, of this city.
The wedding party consisted of about
thirty friends of the contracting

invited to the residence of Father
Bronsgeest, where refreshments were
served. At the wedding ceremony
Miss Alma Heroux acted as brides
maid while Mr.. McInerny performe ed
the duties of best man.
The contracting parties are well and
favorably known in The Dalles, the
bride having spent the greater portion
of her life in this city, while MIR. Floyd
was for number of years in the en-
ploy of the o. R. & N Co. at this place,
and is at present in the employ of the
company at La Grande. Mid shower
of well wishes from their numerous
friends in this city. Mr.. and Mrs.

CAPTURING ELEPHANTS.
Sport That the Maharajah Occasionally
Indulges In.

Sport That the Maharajah Occasionally
Indulges In.
The enterprise is organized for the
amusement of the maharajah, and takes
place only once in about four years,
else the forest would be denuded of big
game. A small army, consisting of
about 5000 men and perhaps three ele-
plants and a few horses, take part in
the hunt, says Chambers journal, and
they carry tents and provisions, just
as if n campaign against a powerful en-
emy were in progress. When the pad
marks of the elephant are found he is
steadily tracked down, and as soon as
he is found trained fighter of his own
species is urged against him.
As rule, he steadily retreats upon
sight of his pursuers, and their OBJ
iect is to press him SO as to tire him
out. He then stands at bay, and the
tug of war commences. The opposing
animals butt at one another with their
heads down, and should one show his
fanks, he is quickly brought to earth.
When finally conquered, the wild ele-
phant is pressed by his pursuers toward
water, of which he is so much in need
after his eXertions that his hind legs
can be shackled as he drinks. He is then
kept attached by ropes to other ele-
plants until he gradually becomes ac-
customed to bondage, and in a few
months he is completely under control.
The sport is a bloodless one, and the ell
ephants when captured are most kind
ly treated.

How a Faker Worked Hood River.

A faker worked Hood River last
week with medicine he claimed would
cure all the ills flesh is heir to, says the
Glacier, he called it ''vitalized air and
bottled electricity" The sick had
only to smell of the bottle to be cured,
and he gave away this wonderful medi-
cine for 81 bottle. Besides giving the
me licine for 81 bottle, he threw in a
dress pattern and had samples with him
to select from. The dresses, he said
would arrive in Hood River last Satur-
day. Several ladies (who probably don't
read the papers) are still looking for
their new dresses. He may have lost
the list of names of those who were to
get new dresses. The Glacier says it
will gladly publish the names, il they
are handed in, of all those who
expected to get a new dress with their
bottle OF medicine. By giving the list
the benefit of such publicity it may
catch his eyeand he will know whom to
send the dresses to.

A WEEK IN CAMP.
Oregon's National Guard had Experience
In Camp Life.

Oregon's National Guard had Experience
In Camp Life.
No more convenient or ideal location
could have heen selected anywhere in
the state for an encampment of the
Oregon National Guard than Camp
Jackson, located three miles southwest
from the town of Hood River. The
parade ground covers comparatively
level stretch of ground of about 100
acres and on either side is growth of
scrub pine and oak, affording beautiful
locations for the quarters of the officers,
men and hospital corps.
There were about 1000 men in camp
during the week, embracing the Sec
ond regiment, the Third battalion
and two companies from the First
regiment. During the entire week
the men were subjected to strict mill
tary discipline, and everything was
conducted on plans that would be en-
forced with an army in regular service,
The encampment at Camp Jackson
has been the most successful ever held
by the National Guard of the state,
and although the men were worked
hard every day, they appear to have
enjoyed it. The experience they have
had raised them from the standing of
raw recruits to I. we'll disciplined army
of men, and one could not view the
precision with which they executed
the many evolutions without feeling
convinced that Oregon if called upon
could put into the field brigade of
soldiers that would be credit to any
state.
Saturday was the last day of real
activity at the camp, as camp was
broken after dress parade Sunday
night, when the militia was marched
to Hood River, and taken to Portland
to take part in the celebration there.
Saturday evening Gov. Lord, as
commander-in-chief, reviewed the
troops. The governor, accompanied
by Colonel Dunno and Adjutant Cen
eral Tuttle, arrived at the camp about
6 O'Clock, when every man who was
able for duty was brought up in line
for inspection. When the governor
and staff appeared on the field a salute
of 13 guns was fired by the battery, |
after which the entire army was !
marshaled in front of the reviewing !
stand.
A large number of Dalles people |
visited the camp on Saturday, spend
ing the entire day on the grounds, and
with the visitors from Hood River and
other points, swelled the number of
spectators TO some 1000, and all of them
were proud of Oregon's sol 1ier boys.

tious concerning the SPOT where soper

tions concerning the spot where Soper
said he had inferred the body. Con-
cerning the finding of the body the
Telegram says:
'Dr. Kessler made dilligent search
at the foot of Montgomery street and
in the thick brush on Saturday, and at 3
o'clock in the afternoon he discovered
small mound near the mouth of the
gulcb, from which he brought forth
the murdered infant. 1t was covered
by comparatively thin layer of earth.
The body was so badly decomposed
that, at the time. the manner in which
it's life had been taken could not be
satisfactorily settled. However, it
was identified as having been the Soper
child by its raiment, which was the
same it had on when taken from home
by the inhumun father on it's death s
journey"
At the inquest it was demonstrated
that the child had been buried aliye
anu udu dlcu lFOiu sui HOCdGlOu DolOF0
the coronet's jury, Or. Kessler, in his
evidence, showed conclusively that
Soper attempted to strangle the little
one. and as it relaxed into unconscious
ness believed he had accomplished his
horrible work. The murderer then
proceeded to bury the body. A hollow
grave was dug and the still unconscious
infant placed in it. The child's cap
was then drawn over its face and dirt
and brush piled upon the body. Soper
then left the scene.
Hardly had he reached the top of
the trail, according to DR.. Ressler, be-
fore the child revived, and working lis
baby hand free from the weight of dirt
and debris holding it down, tore away
the cap from lis face in an effort to
gain breath. Its baby strength was,
however, insufficient to raise the load
pressing the poor little body down.
That the child struggled is shown in
the contorted position of the limbs as
the child lay in it's rude grave.
The verdict of the coroner's jury was
death by strangulation and suffocation
charging Soper with the murder.

Pr, sperity appears to have struck

Potato fields and patches are fairly

to harvest.

The Dalles had too many holidays
coming right at the beginning of the
month, consequently collections and
the settling up of monthly business
was materially interfered with.
Most of the members of Co. G, who
took part in the recent encampment
and the celebration at Portland, have
returned home, ,donned citizens clothes
and haye once more settled down to

UNABLE TO MAKE THE CHANGE.

Predicament of the Cashier of q Down
town Resort with His Cash Register.
There were three in one party and
two in the other. They were standing
before the white-aproned dispenser of
refreshments, says Chicago exchange,
and one of the three invited the entire
party to have something. The dispenser
dealt out the order of the three, took
the dollar offered in payment and handed
back 35 cents in change. The other two,
standing n short distance away, were
part of the cashier. The bill amounted
to less than a quarter according to the
refreshments served the three. The
host examined his coin and then looked
surprised and grieved.
81 gave you dollar, he said.
'Was it dollar? How much change
did give you?"
''Thirty-fve cents"
"Well. will have to wait until some
body buys. don't dare open the regis
ter, as there is a false balance on it.
Every time Iopen it it means purchase
charged to me. Sorry, but we will have
to wait"
The man to whom the change was
coming stood by and waited until the
cash purchase was made before he could
get his money. He was the only one In
the party who did not enjoy the situa-
tion. He remarked, gloomily, that he
never had much use for cash registers.
ANYWAY.
