A travelling man put in an appear.
ance in the city Tuesday morning with
pattern of bicycle that was alto.
gether new in these parts. So much
so that it's presence on the streets was
sufficient to attract almost as much OF
crowd as circus parade. 1t is known
as the companion" bicycle. and while
1t has but two wheels, fore and aft
same as an ordinary, it has two seats
arranged side by side. There are two
sets of pedals, and two chains, but
they are connected with the rear axle.
Several persons had the courage to
mount the thing and ride it around, in
pairs of course. The beauty of it is
said to bc, that if man wants to take
his best girl, or some other fellows
Pirl for a ride and she doesn't know
how, it doesn't matter, the one who
does know can manage the thing all
right if the novice does not get scared
and take too tight hold on the handle
bars. The handle bars are connected
so that whichever way one moves the
other follows suit and there is no
danger of one rider trying to turn one
way and the other another. 1t
might do first rate for level bicycle
paths, but how would it work on
rough road with 200-pound man on
one side and ITO pound of sweetness
on the other? The agent, however,
says the difference in weight would cut
no material figure. A few of the more
courageous of our cyclienness tried it
and pronounced it out of fsight.-Rose-

A HAPPY EVENT.
The Knights and Their Ladies Enjoy a
Pleasant Evening

+, The Knights and Their Ladies Enjoy q
Pleasant Evening"
Monday night Friendship Lodge No.
9, K. of P, was entertaining. The oc-
casion was an official visit of Grand
Chancellor Oliver to the lodge, and it
was observed in befitting style. Dur
ing the early hours of the evening Mr..
Oliver met with the lodge and exem-
plified the unwritten work of the diff
ferent ranks before the member, while
the ladies assem- bled in the banquet
hall and in Messrs. Jayne & Michell's
Office rooms, entertaining themselves
comingling together, until 10 o'clock,
when they tired of being left to
their own entertainment, and ap-
pearing at the portals of the castle
hall, vigorously demanded admission.
This the Knights were too gallant to
refuse. Grand Chancellor Oliver
hastily closed his lecture, lodge busi-
ness was concluded, and the ladies filed
into the hall unceremoniously, when
Hon. G. L. Phillips took. charge of the
meeting and the following program was
rendered:
PIano solo,. Mrs. Varney
Song,. ..Lora Kelsay
Vocal solo, May Cushing
Vocal duet, ...... .Mrs. Reynolds,
Miss Gosser.
instrumental duet, banjo and guitar,
81. d Parkins, M. Rice.
Vocal solo,. ,............ Mrs. Bradshaw
Song, Leila Kelsay
At the conclusion of the last song,
carpets were removed from the floor,
and the Knights and ladies were soon
whirling round the hall keeping step
to sweet strains of music. This past
time was INDUCED in but short time,
however, when the doors leading to
the banquet hall were thrown open.
Spreads had been laid for 100, and a
banquet was served that spoke volumes
for the culinary ability of those who
prepared it. Later dancing was again
resumed, and the hands on the dial |
were pointing to 1890 when the fes-
tivities closed.

here Monday it had on board Co.

command of Lieut.. Hendricks, and was
40 strong, every member of the com

Here they were met by Co. G, under
command of Capt. Reese. Besides the
brigade officers and officers of the COM
pany, there were 80 men in line, and
they took possession of car as if they
had captured it in battle. Both the
companies were composed of fine, lusty
fellows, perfect pictures of health and
activity, and were companies of which
any state might we'll be proud. When
the train pulled out from the depot,
the soldier boys gave a lusty cheer,
and with colors flying, looked as if
they were really off for the war. Capt.

The reports from counties showed
some advance in the work during the

as had been anticipated.

This is the result, says the report OF

School Laws for Distribution.

The following communication hand
ded us by County Scool Supt. Gilbert
is self explanatory:
SALEM, Ore, June %, 1897,
In few days will send youa supply
of the new edition of the Oregon
school laws.
There will not be sufficient copies to
supply as fully as might be desired, but
it is my purpose that the county super
tntendents shall furnish to each dis
trict in mis- county one copy of the law,
the same to be placed in the hands OF
the district clerk that it may be present
at the time of any board meeting.
1t is hoped that the school board will
be careful with the copy furnished
them, as 1t is not private property and
does not belong to any individual, but
belongs to the school board.
A few extra copies will be sent for
distribution among the teachers where
they are really needed.
Yours truly
G. M. IRWIN,
Supt. Public Instruction.
THE DALLES, Ore, June %, 1897.
The school laws were received to-
day and 1t is hoped that officers will
call at the superintendent's Office, and
thereby save the costs of mailing, ex-
cept in urgent cases.

A Freak Bill Defeated.

From the Macon News.
The esteemed Georgia legislature has,
by a large and enthusiastic vote, refused
% abolish the three days grace on prom
isory notes. Ana 10y so doing that au
gust body has endeared itself to the
debtor classic which a vast majority of
us belong. How the freak idea ever
originated will, perhaps, never be known,
Dat it is evident that the legislator who
sprung this bill on an unsuspe3ting peo-
pie was hard-up for something to nitro
duce. He went considerably out of the
way to worry and harrass his fellow man,
and deserves Ostracism for his unpro-
voked effort to take away about the only
right that the down-trOdden debtor has
left. We may well consider what might
have been the effect had the saving grace
clause been wiped from the statute
books. Who among us could get there
three days sooner char we do?
