Miss EIio1,s Recital,

The song recital given by the pupils
of Miss Elliot's class at the Congrega-
tional church Friday evening was one
of the pleasantest affairs CT the kind
ever given in The Dalles. The musical
talent of the city was out in full force,
in fact the church was taxed to its
fullest seating capacity. The different
renditions were indeed excellent and
evidenced both ability on the part of
the pupils and most careful training by
the teacher. The program rendered
was as follows:

The Boys in Blue

The Oregon National Guard should
be the pride of the state, though the
efficiency OF the MALTA is largely gov
erned by the support and encourage
ment it receives in the towns where
the different companies are located.
The encampment at Hood River on
29th is intended to familiarize the
militiameu with the various duties of
soldiers, and every facility should be
afforded for making the encampment
success. Many of the militiamen are
employees in different establishments,
and in all instances their time is not
their own, still employers should not
refuse to allow the soldier boys time to
attend the encampment, for it is only
by such meetings as this that the
guard will become proficient. and be
able defenders of the state in case of
need.

Tho Objection Not Good.

There are people who have objec-
tion to advertising matter in the read
ing columns of q newspaper. The
ground of objection is that they do
not want to read advertisements. Now
this objection is not good, for oft times
these advertisements convey valuable
Information. For instance, how else
would the travelling public learn of the
excellent dining car service of the
Wisconsin Central Lines between ST.
Paul and Chicago, or the general COM
fort of travelling over this popular line

A Delightful Evening.

The ladies of the Episcopal Guild en-
tertained a large audience on the
lawns OF Mrs. Peters and the Misses
Lay last Saturday evening, and one
and all pronounced it one of the pleas
ATTEST entertainments ever given in
the city. The grounds between the
two residences were tastefully decor
ated with Chinese lanterns and COM
fortably seated with rustic benches so
that the guests felt that they had been
transplanted into some fairy land, and
for an hour they gathered under the
trees and lights engaging in such pleas
antries as make time pass unheeded,
when finally the curtain raised on the
stage that had been erected by the side
of the Misses Lays residence, disclos-
ing sundower scene through which
countless faces appeared and a mirthful
song was rendered. This was followed in
quick succession by a happily arranged
program including "Blne Beard" re-
hearsal, afferdiug a continuous strain
OF merriment. After the program re-
freshmenus were served and dancing
was INDUCED in by those who desired
such entertainment, while those who
were more leisurely disposed lounged
about.the grounds enjoying the mellow
moon light and balmy evening at
mosphere. The party dispersed short
ly before midnight, all expressing the
hope that the ladies of the Guild would
not long delay repetition of the en-.
tertainment.

Arlington Bank Assets Sold.

The assets of the First National
bank of Arlington were sold at auction
last week by Receiver Cox. Several
parties were present and bought their
own paper for song, several thousand
dollars worth going for s. or SO. A.
Smythe bought Frick's paper-$30, ,00O
or $40, 900 OF is-for SIS or $40. Other
notes of several hundred dollars were
bought for 25 or so ceuts, by parties
who were just bidding for fun. Thus
closes the last chapter in the history
of the bank. During the three years
since it closed, a dividend of Is per
cent has been paid, which will not be
materially increased by the sale of
assets.

sulting in the death of Mr.. Rath houe
and son of Mr.. and Mrs Ed. Dunn,

party of friends, including his little
boy, was passing along the track On 4
hand car, when Superintendent
O'Brien's special train rounded L
curve, bearing down upon the hand
car before the occupants thereof could
get off. Superintendent O'Brien's
car was being pushed ahead of the en-
gine, 50 that he could make a thorough
inspection of the road, consequently
the engineer could not see the hand
car, until the srecial had struck it.
Before the special struck the hand
car the occupants started to jump, but
the child failed to realize the approach
ing danger, and in his effort to get the
little fellow off the car. Mr.. Rathbonc

brother of Capt. Rathbone, superin-
tendent of the water division Of the

long time was section foreman for the
company at this place, and was trans
ferreI to Rooster Rock about four
months ago. This is the third child
Mr.. and Mrs. Dunn have lost from
which makes their loss
doubly sad.

Taking off his coat he whipped the hump

to him that he had lifted the lids to hun
dreds of eyes-eyes that grew brighter or

weakened. Some twinkled and closed ;
others glittered and shifted; but there was
no cessation of their sparkle and glow, and
from base to top and in zigzag threads Of
glimmer across its face the wall seemed
sprayed with pigmy flashes of light from

consequently that he was to the rear, out
