Innes' great concert band is one
of the best attractions at the Ten
nessee Centennial. tits a question
whether Innes or Sousa is most
popular with the great mass of the
American people. Both are famous
band directors and both have an or
ganization Of fifty well trained mu-
sicians. Yet, the two are very un-
like in their work. In his writings
and work Sousa runs to light music
while Innes' writings are profound
and his concerts show his partiality
for the music of recognized masters
which he plays with orchestral pre-
eision. Still, Innes has the happy
faculty ofyarying his studious hab-
it and throwing himself into popu-
lar airs with dash and yigor.

Gamblers as Reformers.

Rather the unexpected has happened
in Baker City, the gamblers having
fallen out among themselves has caused
a reform, so to speak, and will likely
cause all laws against gambling to be
rigidly enforced for a time in that
city. Commenting on the situation
the Democrat says:
"That a number of Baker City's
prominent sporting men have been at
swords points for some time past has
been an open secret, but the indict-
ments which were issued on complaints
registered by members of the fraternity
proved nothing short of revelation
to not few of our denizens. This
action will probably settle the gambl-
ing proposition, which bas been a sub
ject of much discussion both in and
out of official circles of late, for some
time to come. The gamblers have no
one to blame but themselves and they
will have to take their medicine. They
have brought the matter into the
courts and as the duties of the officers
are clearly pointed out they will now
be compelled to act"

and the duplicate used by the claimant
as evidence of his claim against the
state. Those who are not under super

This Interests The palles.

One of the state officers yesterday re-
ceived communication from a num-
Der of business men of Prairie City,
Grant county, asking as to what the
effect (of the failure of the legislature
to pass general appropriation bill)
would be upon the sixth district fair,
which is to be held at that point. this
year. A reply was sent to inquirers
stating that, as the appropriations
were made only for a biennial term and
the legislature having failed to make
provisions for the aid to the fair, it
would follow that no state funds would
be available for the district fair in
question. or for that matter any fair.
This includes the state fair of this
city and will naturally affect the an
nual meetings of the different fairs in
the state.-Salem Statesman.

SOMETHING NEW IN THE DALLEs.
A StoEe Where The House May be Fun
nished Throughout.

A Store Where The House May be Fur
nished Throughout.
Messrs. Michael, Surad & Perlman
have opened in the Bettingen building,
next door to the Snipes-Kinnerslyd drug
store, store from which the house
may be furnished throughout-an es-
tablishment heretofore unknown in
this city,. Their stock consists of
stoves, hardware, tinware, carpets,
mating, window shades, furniture,
granite ware, baby carriages, ard in
fact everything necessary to furnish
the household complete. New and
second hand goods in these lines are
carried in immense quantities.
This firm is a branch of the Great
Northern Furniture ore, with head
quarters at 233-235 Front street, and
203 205-207 Main street. Portland, hence
comes well recommended to the people
of this vicinity to whom they are not
entire strangers. 1t is their purpose
to place goods at reasonable prices. to
pursue live-and-let-live policy, giving
their customers wide range of stock
to select from, and saving them the ex-
pense of going to Portland to secure
bottom prices.
Their secondhand goods are so
thoroughly repolished that the pur-
chaser can only tell them from new
goods by the low price at which they
will be sold.
| This firm has come to The Dalles to
stay and hopes by fair dealing to merit
the patronage of all, and invite those
who contemplate refurnishing their
houses to call and inspect their ms,
complete stock at any time after March
18th.

Who Said So.

The man who said that the hardest
part of an eastern trip came after leav-
ing the Mississippi river, never jour-
neyed between Minneapolis or St.
Paul to Milwaukee or Chicago, over
the lines of the Wisconsin Central, for
the accommodations over this route
are unsurpassed, the connections are
close, thus doing away with vexatious
delays. The dining car service is the
remark of all travellers who go this
way. A good square meal at reason

The Old Song.

''This is the way I long have
sought:
And mourned because I found it
not"
Has been the peon of Joy and satis-
faction of many traveller, who after
weary days of unpleasant experience
with this, that or the other line, settles
himself for comfortable ride from
Minneapolis or St. Paul to Chicago or
Milwaukee in one of the elegant
coaches of the Wisconsin Central
Lines. Then again the inspired lines
of the poet come to mind as he seats
himself at the table in the dining car
this same Wisconsin Central and
finds himself served with the best meal
at reasonable price. For particulars
address Geo. S. Batty. General Agent,
246 Stark St. Portland, Or, or Jas. G.

The Primary Teacher.

Lift your hat reverently when you
meet school teacher of a primary
school. She is the good angel of the
republic. She takes the bantling fresh
from the home nest, and full of pouts
and passions-an.ungover wretch
whose mother admits she sends him to
school to get rid of him. This lady,
who knows her business, takes car
load of these little anarchists, one of
whom single handed and alone is more
than match for his parents, and at
once puts them in the way of being
useful and upright citizens. At what
expense OF toll and soul weariness?
Here is the most responsible position
in the whole school and if her salary
was double she would not receive more
than she earns.-Ex.

Lydell Baker, clerk of the board oi
railroad commissioners, was in the city
yesterday for few hours. In conver.
sation with him a areporter of the States
man eli,ited the following statement
of the case of the board:
The railroad commissioners expect
to remain in their positions and draw
their salaries for another year. They
claim that, as the supreme court de-
cided their case in their favor two
years ago. they have the right to re-
main in Office until their successors are
elected and have qualified, or until the
Offices are abolished. Neither having
been done, they will remain in Office
and will continue to do their work and
draw their salaries.
The fact that the governor does net
their newly-filed bonds doesn't
worry these gentlemen in the least, as
their old bondsmeu are not released
and those instruments still being on
file and valid, the non-approval of the
new papers filed matters nothing to
them, and they will continue in
their soft places for another two years.
