Mrs. Bertha Vieira were married at
the residence of the bride in this city,
Rev. L. Gray, pastor of the Lutheran
church, officiating. After the wedding
ceremony Mr.. and Mrs. Meyer were
called upon by large number of their

demonstrations of approval of the
wedding; in fact, who treated them to
regular old-fashioned charivari.
After the noise was over Mr.. and Mrs.
Never left for wedding tour to Port
land.
On account of the Catholics having
selected Sunday, July 25th, as the date
for laying the corner stone OF their
church, the Lutherans have determ-
ined to change the date of the laying

July 17th. The ceremonies will be

over his face was seen skulking about
the brush on Judge Benefits place,
and Sheriff Driver was called to the
farm to look after the intruder. After
securing over the place for some time
Mr.. Driver located the fellow in the
brush, and telephoned to town for as
sistance, but before help arrived the
mysterious individual escaped over the
hills in the direction of Chenowith
creek. Mr.. Driver tracked him some
distance, but was unable to overtake
him. What the fellow is after no one
knows. though it is thought he is crazy.
Geo. Ellick, the Indian who had be-
come so imbued with civilization as to
demand a marriage ceremony per-
formed by white magistrate few
days ago, is accused of having fallen
victim to little more civilization and
having stolen number of revolvers
from W. FL. Arbuckel's store. Ellick
was in the store yesterday examining
number of revolvers, and last night
the store was burglarized and the
pistols stolen. AS Ellick left on the
boat this morning for Hood River he
is suspected of being the thief, and
was arrested on his arrival at Hood
River today.

SMALL PROFIT IN CIGARS.
Dealers Complain That They Make Very
Little Money.

Dealers Complain That They Make Very
Little Money.
"There is not a large percentage OF
profit in cigars" said D. B. Talbert, OF
Baltimore, a cigar salesman, at the
Metropolitan, to Washington Star re.
porter. "And there is probably no line
of goods in which customers swindle
the dealers with so little compunction
of conscience. There are so cigars in
n box of ordinary goods, but the dealer
seldom gets paid for so, even though
he credits none and gives none away.
"a man buys cigar, taking it out of
the box with his thumb and forefnger,
at the same time closing his other fin
gers over another which rests in the
palm of his hands. He gives the dealer
dime and almost invariably receives
nickel in change. Or he may buy quar-
ter's worth and gets one too many in
the same way. This has caused some
dealers to ask how many are wanted
and to give out just what are called
for, but it is doubtful if this is wise, as
a customer likes to help himself, and
goes where he can do So"

The Way to Reduce weight.

The Oregonian gives the following
recipe for losing pound a day: A
"mau about town" who has been liv-
ing on the fat of the land and doing
nothing, found himself taking on too
much adipose tissue. Concluding there
was no royal road to getting rid of this
incumbrance, he struck out for the
country, chopped brush ten hours
day, and every evening bathed in the
creek, and at the end of eighteen
days found he had reduced his weight
eighteen pounds. He slept like a log, land
was cured of snoring, and has come back
to town feeling like new man. To
all who are overburdened with fat he
says, "Go thou and do likewise" 1t
is safer, better and more effective
than anti-fat or any other nostrum.

At 2 O'Clock last Saturday general
fire alarm was rung, calling out the
entire department below the bluff.
The fire was at the rear of G. J. Far

BEST WOOL mARKEr IN OREGON.
Wool Rates Higher in The Dailes Than at
any Other Place In the state.

Wool Rates Higher in The Dalles Than at
any Other Place In the state.
Pendleton. Heppner and Baker City
have been attracting attention as wool
markets this season, but they must
stand aside when compared with The
Dalles. Already there are in the
neighborhood of 100000 pounds
stored here, and the prices prevailing
at present are from one to one and one
half cents higher here than at any
other place east of the Cascades. A
large quantity of wool changed hands
here yesterday at prices ranging from
1O9 to III cents, and holders anticipate
still higher prices before the season
shall close.
These high prices are attributed to
two causes, the quantity of wool stored
here, affording buyers large range OF
goods to select from, and the low
freight rates obtainable from this
point. These causes will always make
The Dalles the best wool market in |
Oregon, and will consequently induce
wool ratsers to hiring their product here; |
and that now en- route to The Dalles |
will amount to considerably more than.
5000, 900 pounds that will be handled |
this season by the different warehouses
which at an average even of 10 cents a
pound will distribute very nearly
81, ,OOO, 600 in this vicinity for wool.

Nenl, who was appointed by ,.le COVER
nor August o last, after the resignation
of James NJ. Page, which the governor ac-
cepted, is the state land agent, and that

to recall his letterh. The court says that
If Pages term had expired he would be
entitled to hold on until his successor was
duly confirmed by the board, but there

GENERAL TRADE MOVEMENT
WOOL SPECULATION HAS CEASED.
Dusiness Continues Ia Large Pro.
portions, Although There Are
Further Evidences of Falling or

New York, Oct. 23.--Bradstreet's says:
While general trade movement is some
what irregular and there are further evi.
dences Of falling off in demand and vol.
ume, business continues Of large proper
tions. Speculation in wool has ceased and
demand for the staple is less than for
weeks past. Cotton goods are dull on the
weakness Of raw cotton and jobbers re-
port dry goods slower than week ago.
Interior merchants in the central west
have not distributed fall stocks A.
promptly as expected and many jobbers at
western centerv find that they overesti.
mated the consumptive demand when se-
curing fall goods. Unseasonably warm
weather has interfered with the move
ment Of heavy goods ut the west, but rains
in Kansas Oklahoma and Nebraska have
improved the agricultural outlook. Rela-
lively the greatest activity in trade Is re-
ported by Kansas City and Omaha mer-
chants. While quarantine regulations
have been raised in Texas and modified
in Louisiana, business throughout most
Of the gulf states is most practically At
standstill. Almost all the large eastern
cities report a decreased movement of
merchandise and q tendency Of collections
to fall away, notably baltimore, owing to
its southern connections. The industrial
situation continues to furnish employ
ment to as army persons a. at any pre-
cetiing period this year and ut higher
wages.
Productions Of iron, steel. machinery
stoves, car structural works, glass and
wooden goods continues heavy. Steel
mills have orders to carry them into 1913
