In the evening Chaplain Lozier occupied
the pulpit and gave a stirring address
on the subject of dedicating what talents
we have to the work of the Master. At
its close he sang his beautiful solo, ''The
Man of Galilee."
Last night the mem bers of the order
of Elks attended the Congregational
church in body. No previous arrange
ment had been made with the pastor,
making it impossible for him to give an
address suitable to the occasion. How
ever, the sermon was much appreciated
by his listeners. The music was espeei-
ally good, a very pretty anthem being
sung, and duet rendered by Mrs. But
Ter and MISS Schmidt.
Last night, while Miss Minnie Harper
and her sister were attending church,
some one entered her residence, near the
East Hill school, and ransacked things
generally. This morning when she went
to her trunk to get her purse, she found
that it had been broken open and the
purse, which contained $3.50 in change,
stolen. Undoubtedly the burglar is not
hundred miles from the city. These
petty robberies should be ferreted out.

After the reading of the minutes of the
last meeting, a slight correction was
made, when they were approved.
I Kuck, of the finance committee, re-
ported, in the matter of the claims of
the city against the county for taxes,
which matter was referred to the finance
committee at the last meeting, that they
have not yet employed an expert to in
vestigate; therefore ask for further time.
G. F. Stephens, of the committee on
streets and public property. reported
that the committee had appraised the
city's lot on Third street, adjoining Bro
gan's property, at $1,000, and recon-
mended the same TO the council, which
approved the recommendation.
The matter of the removal of all build
ings sitnated on public streets without
permission of the council, was referred
to the committee on streets and public
property.
DIR. o. D. Doane and Geo. A. Liebe,
members of the school board, appeared
before the council and stated that they
had been served with notice by the mar
shal, notifying them to remove the nuis-
ance caused by the water closets at the
school building on Court street. They
acknowledged that at the time COM
plant was made they werejn bad con-
dition, but that it was the first time
there had been cause for such complaint,
and that said cause would be removed.
However, as the district has already
spent much during the past year, and if
the notice were complied with it would
make an additional expense OF about
500 or $500, they asked that it be not
required to put In patent closets, which
would also cause much trouble by freez-
ing. Their request was complied with.
Regarding the electric light question,
the mayor and recorder presented the
matter by reading the contract submit
ted by the company to them and refused,
land the one presented by them to the
company, which has not been acted up
on as yet. 1t seems there are some diff
ferences in regard to the situati ton of the
Nights. No action was taken by the
council.
w. A. Johnston having changed his
place of residence from the First ward, a
new councilman was elected. Council
man Keller placed in nomination Chas.
Michelbach, who was elected by acclaim
alton.
1t was ordered that sidewalks be con-
structed on Laughlin street, between
Second and Third.
The claim of Douglas Dufur for $56. so,
premium for insurance on city build
ings, was referred to the finance COM
mittee.
| Officers reports were then submitted,

Birthday Party.

Saturday being the 18th birthday of
Ella Mccoy, number tof her friends
spent very pleasant afternoon with her.
Upon their arrival they found the
parlors fairly enveloped in spider web,
woven by human hands. The work of
unwinding immediat ely began and Daisy
Deane reaching the goal first, captured
the prize. Afterwsrd the game of Gin
derella's slipper engaged their attention,
at which Bessie Eddon proved herself an
adept. Helen Lytle was equally unfortu-
nate at both games, and carried away
the BOBBY prizes. The birthday lunch
was one which received no lese attention
than did the games, and the young
misses did justice to 1t.
Those who were fortunate in receiving
invitations were: Constance French,
Helen LYtleI Alberta Shepherd, Wini-
fred Wilson,. Florence Williams. Hazel
Huntington. Lena Moore, Nina Guthrie,
Leila and Lota Kelsay, Clara Dunham,
Lulu Nicholas. Luella Nelson, Della
Young, Daisy and Dora Deane, Bessie
Eddon, Drucilla Moody and Bertha
Steers.

Forester Confined in County Jail.

In spite of the fact that nothing def
mite had been given out as to the train
on which Sheriff Kelly would arrive
with his prisoner, curiosity ran so high
that for fear the opportunity of catching
a passing glance at Forester might BE-
missed, a large crowd was waiting at the
UmatiIla House when the O'Clock
train arrived Saturday evening, joining
in the procession which conveyed tile
murderer of Brogan to his quarters at
the county jail, which he will at least oc-
cupy until the February term of court
Sheriff Kelly reports an uneyentful
trip back, the prisoner being very easy
to manage, causing no trouble whate yer.
They were delayed for a halliday at
accident to the train, when he occupied
the Jail at that place.
A Winnemucca paper, with whose re-
porter Forester conversed freely, said
that after the killing, which he claims to
have committed in self defense, he
walked 100 miles, when he bought a
horse and started for Nevada. On the
way he encountered traveller, whom
he fell in with and to whom he dis
closed his crime, informing the fellow
that $1,000 had been offered for his ar
rest. On reaching Winnemucca his
companion notified the officers, who i'm.
mediately captured him.
Forester Is now closely confined be-
hind the bare, and no one is pei mitted
4
to interview him. although the prisoner
makes no objection. During the entire
day yesterday the sheriff's Office was
crowded with visitors, many of them
acquaintance of the prisoner, eager tc
see him; but it is impossible to grant
their request, it being thought best tc
exclude all visitors.
His case will not come up until tbs
February term of court.

Pulse of New York
At the Vogt opera house tonight.

A. NJ. Williams & Co. announce the
completeness of their holiday stock of
fine neckware. Do not wait for a
better time to make your Xmas selec-
tions. -
Last night was the coldest one of the
season and frost was quite numerous
this morning. The thermometer stood
within four degrees of the coolest night
last winter. J
Last evening number of the mem
bers of Cascade lodge, B. P. .. E., gave
a dinner in honor of their guest, D. Soils
Cohen, which was very enjoyable. Mr..
Cohen returned to Portland today.
Mr.. Patterson, receiver, and Mr.. Lu-
cas-, register, of The Dalles land Office,
seem to be the right men IN the right
place. People who have business with
them appreciate their promptness and
accuracy in business transactions.-Gra
Valley Journal.
Tomorrow evening meeting of the
club members will be held for the pur-
pose OF electing officers. Every mem
ber is earnestly requested to attend.
The pleasure of having the ladies pres
ent on this occasion will of necessity
have to be toregone, SO that ladiee'even-
ing this week will be passed over.
Displays OF holiday goods are becom-
ing quite prominent in our store these
days. A collection of fancy glass and
white metal novelties, at A. NJ. Williams
& Co.'S. is attracting considerable atten-
ton. Choice of variety of pretty
articles at each % cents. Have you
seen them?
The "Pulse of New York" company
will appear at the Vogt tonight. Those
who heard this company play here last
year are as competent to judge of its
merits as is the CHRONICLE. All who at
tended then were delighted with the
company. The music will be furnished
tonight by Birgfeld's orchestra.
w. S. Keat. representing the Rambler
bicycles, is in town today. He is also
interested in the Rambler football team,
and arrangements have about been COM
pleted for game here on New Years
day. This will be good news to all, for
aside from the fact of the enjoyment, it
affords pleasant pastime for the hoIi-
day.
The Methodist church, both morn
ing and evening yesterday was crowded.
In the morning Rev. Thoburn, who is
the son of missionary, and who him
self spent some years in the work in In
dia, addressed the audience on "mis-
slons." So earnest was he and so elo-
quent and touching his appeal, that all
agreed they had never heard better
sermon on this subject. The missionary
apportionment of $96 for the church
here was raised with no special appeal
