Lodge, d. of H., and special feature
OF the evening was nail drying COP
test by the ladies and a button sewing
contest by the men. When the routine
| business of the lodge had been disposed
| of. the gentlemen present were given
! three minutes in which to show their
ability for sewing on buttons. Each
gentleman present was given needle
and thread, hand full of buttons and
a piece of cloth, and the way they
fastened the buttons to the cloth was a
caution. Sidney Young was the most
adapt in the art, and was awarded first
prize for having done the neatest work.
But the real fun did not commence uu-
til the ladies began driving nails.
that resembled the sounds emanating
from busy carpenter shop. Each lady
was supplied with hammer and 10
ten-penny nails. The contest was to
see who could drive the nails in the
shortest space OF time, and the ladies
pounded away on the nails as If their
lives depended upon the result. t1rs.
Sterling succeeded in sending the ten
nails home in one minute 35 seconds,
while the longest time required by
any of the contestants was q minutes.

LOADS OF STEEL RANGES.
Display at the Great Northern


Magnificent Display at the Great Northern
Furniture Store.
Some people think they must go to
a hardware store-to get stoves and
ranges. This is not the case. The
Great Northern Furniture Store, be-
sides handling an immense stock of
all classes of furniture, is prepared to
fit anybody out with anything wanted
in the stove line. Their line of steel
ranges is choice and extensive, and the
quality is the best, while the prices are
below those to be had at any other
place in Eastern Oregon. OF them
you can get steel range for the same
money you would pay elsewhere. and
have enough left to buy complete
outfit of cooking utensils with which
to furnish kitchen. Their line of
stoves is also very complete and now,
that cold weather is coming on, is the
time to buy. GIVE them a call and
price their goods, and it is certain you
will not deny yourself good comfort
able heater this winter or permit your
wife to cook on an inferior stove when
you can get a first-class steel range for
so little money!

The grand jury exploded bomb
this afternoon that has been for some
time in preparation and has been
awaited with more or less anxiety, says
the East Oregonian. Frank X.
Schemp, saloon man of Pendleton,

instance. Means is indicted for play
ing the game himself with persons "to
this grand jury unknown" and F. x.
Schemp for allowing Walter Lindsey,
Arthur Hicks and Dan Bowman to
play it in his saloon. The grand jury
says the games were for money, and
checks representing money. Both de-
PENDANTS were arraigned, and allowed
until tomorrow at 1:30 o'clock to plead.
Schemp is defended by ]. II. Raley
and Means by j. J. Balleray.

Pardon for Mcdonnell.

Efforts are being made to secure q
pardon for George F. Mcconnell, for.
merly of Ashland, who was sentenced
about year ago to the Oregon PEN
itentiary for embezzlement of funds
belonging to the Grand Lodge Knights
of Pythias of Oregon. while he was
holding the Office of keeper of records
and seals, in Portland. McConnell's
record during ten years residence in
Ashland was a very clean one, and
there are said to be extenuating cir
cumstances connected with his crime.
He was sentenced to three years. penal
servitude and was fortunate in being
made ''trusty' in the penitentiary at
Salem, which will reduce his time one
half. making his term expire about
August of the coming year. The ef-
forts at securing pardon are with the
intention of restoring him to citizen-
ship when his liberation takes place.

GOLD IRONsIDEs."
Reminiscence of the Noted Old Patriarch
of the merican Naxy.

of the merican May.
One hundred years ago the o. S
frigate Constitution, by all odds tine
most famous vessel that eyer hoated
the American flag, was launched al
Charlestown, Mass. "Old Ironsides, y
as she was popularity called, was one oi
the six vessels which congress wanted
to build, though only three-the Con-
stitution, United States and Constel-
lation-wel built at thai time.
The launching of the Constitution
had been arranged for September 20,
but after moving a few feet the ship
struck, and it was found that the dock
on which she rested had settled. A
second attempt was unsuccessful, and
it was not until Oct. 2l, 1877 that she
was finally foated free. "Old Iron
| sides" deserves all the praise that has
been lavished upon her in speech and
| song. There is no other vessel the as
sociations of which are connected with
so N my names familiar in our history,
or can boast of such records of gallant
achievements by American tars. Hull,
| Balm bridge, Decatur and Stewart were
| among her captains. Paul Revere fur
| nished the brass bolts and spikes that
wentainto her sturdy frame. Betsy
Ross, "the mother of the American
flag" sewed the great banner of l3
stars and 10 stripes that foated above
her when she first breasted the waves.
At the time it was proposed by the
secretary of the navy to dismantle the
ship and sell her, Holmes expressed
the public indignation in poem, "Old
IronsiGes," which is familiar to every
schoolboy.
Lord Byron was once a guest on
board, and Capt. Dacres, afterwards
British admiral, was entertained there
as prisoner.
She won the first American victory
in the war of 1872 in her engagement
with the Guerriere. Hull and Dacres,
the naval commanders in the engage
ment. were acquaintances, and after
wards became firm friends. There is
an unauthenticated story that they |
once laid wager of a hat as to the re-
suit of the battle in case their ships
ever met. According to this story,
when Dacrese came on board the Con-
stitution and offered his sword to Hull,
the latter courteously declined to take
it, and said: "I'll take your hat; that
hat, if you don't mina."
In 1888 the old ship was thoroughly
rebuilt and overhauled, and her his
tory since has heen an interesting one.
She did duty many years as a training
ship, and at the outbreak of the civil
war she was at Annapolis. 1t was feared
she would fall into the hands of the
and she was towed to
New York. Afterwards she was taken
to Portsmouth, N. H., where she re-
NAMED until Sept. /, of this year,
when she was taken back to Charles
town for the celebration Of her centen-
NAL.
A plan that has recently been
put forward and that may be ad-
opted, is to station the old ship at
Anapolis or Washington, and to fit her
,p as naval museum with relics of
our early naval history. 1t is believed
hat by this means she will he assured
# preservation for another hundred
ears, and that she will serve useful
purpose as a constant object lesson in
'atriotism to the future generatians

A DAY OF ACCIDENTS.
Numerous Mishaps in Western Oregon
Last Monday.

| Numerous Mishaps in Western Oregon
| Last Monday.
Four shocking accidents are reported
from different parts of the state last
Monday, resulting in one death and
| the probable fatal injury 10 four others.
While driving from Myrtle Point to
Cequille City, in'Coos county, ,ex Judge
| Nosler. his wife and daughter and his
cons wife and babe, met another team
onsa rocky grade. Judge Nosler at
tempted to back his horses to one side
of the road to allow the other vehicle
to pass, but the horses became fright
ened an unmanageable and backed off
the grade, falling with the buggy and
all its occupants about 30 feet. Mrs.
Nosler was killed instantly, and the
judge is thought to be fatally injured.
The other woman and the baby were
badly bruised.
AT Eugene Henry McGrady, who
was painting the roof Of. the dormitory
of the state university, fell 45 feet to
the ground, breaking his shoulder and
wrist, injuring his spine and sustaining
internal injuries. He will probably
die.
Rev. E. c. Wyatt, of Philomath, was
returning from the United Brethren
conference at Sodaville. Linu county,
riding in a cart, and when near Plain
view he was thrown out and dragged
considerable distance, receiving injur-
les which the doctors think will prove
fatal.
In Astoria E. Wieman, carpenter
working on building, fell from lad
der and sustained injuries of such a
serious nature that his recovery is
doubtful. An examination of his in |
juries showed that two ribs had been |
broken and his head badly bruised.
One of the broken bones pierced the |
lungs, inflicting q dangerous wound.

COL. SINNOTT IS DEAD.
His E, entful Life Closed at st. vincents
Hospital This Morning.

His E,entful Life Closed at st. Vincent,
Hospital This Morning.
ALI that was mortal of Col. N. B
Sinnott now lies cold in death. He
breathed his last at 5 A. NJ. Thursday in
St. Vincent's hospital, Portland, sur.
rounded by his wife, one daughter,
two sons and two grandchildren.
The death of Mr.. Sinnott was not
unexpected, in fact no hopes Of his re-
| covery had been entertained for a num-
| ber of days, but the receipt of the news
of his demise threw gloom over the
entire community, for no one in The
Dalles was more universally respected
than he.
Thirty-six years ago last July Col.
Sinnott came to The Dalles, and asso-
ciating in business with Major Hand
ley, purchased the Umatilla House,
which was conducted by the firm of
Handley 81 Sinnott until the death of
Major Handley few years ago. Dur
ing all these years Col. Sinnott, has
been one of the most prominent citi-
zens of the city. Possessed of a natur-
ally clear mind and progressive spirit,
he was ever found on the side of right
and justice in the many localquestions
that nave come up for consideration
in The Dalles, and to his enterprise
and forethought is due much of the
prominence The Dalles has attained
in the past.
Scrupulously honest in his dealings
and of a genial disposition he gained
the confidence and friendship of all,
hence his advice was ever sought on
all questions of Importance connected
with The Dalles. AS friend and COM
panion he met all on equality, and his
friendship was esteemed by every one
entitled to claim it. AS man of
business his word was his bond, and his
integrity was held above all things
else. AS a citizen no one ever held a
higher place in the community, and it
may be truthfully said that among his
ihi SO ClICl0 VI dCq qudlu bduCoS uo udU
not an enemy, while his friends were
legion.
In the death of Col. Sinnott The
Dalles has suffered an irretrievable
loss, vacancy has been created that
cannot be filled. He will be missed by
all, though his memory will ever re-
main fresh with those whose privilege
it was to know and number him as a
friend. |
Mr.. Sinnott was born in ireland 20 |
years. ago, and came to America when
10 years of age. locating at Peoria, Ill.,,
where he was employed in "a hotel |
several years. He came to the coast
about 40 years ago, living a short time
in Portland. then went to the mines in
Idaho, finally coming to The Dalles,
ocating here in July of 1861. The
1irect cause of his death was dropsy,
,hough he had been "a feeble health
or several months past.

ASTORIA WANTS 1T.
W. S. Byers Offered $4,000 to Establish
Mill There,

W. S. Byers offered $4,000 to Establish
a Mill There
w. S. Byers, whose Touring mill at
Pendleton was recently destroyed by
fire, is in demand both at Tacoma and
Astoria. He has Just returned to
Pendleton from Astoria and to the
Tribune made the following statement
of inducements held out by that place
for him to build mill there,I
"The people of Astoria offered me a
bonus of $4,000, site for a mill, 600
feet of water front which they claim
will be worth 100000 in ten years
from now, and agreed to see that my
taxes were paid for the first three
years, if 1 would build and operate a
flour mill there. Furthermore, the
storekeepers selling -four undertook to
pledge themselves to handle no flour
but mine for three years in the event
of my locating there.'' x
Astoria is indeed in a progressive
mood, and nothing can keep down a
community that shows such enterprise.
A place the size of that city that is
willing to contribute $4,000 for sim
gle industry must succeed. If Mr..
Byers does not accept the offer, there
are others who will.
