Rubbish" was the unique subject Of
Rev. Edwin Gardner's discourse last
Sunday evening. The liberation OF
the Jews by Cyrus and his edicts that
the Walls of Jerusalem should be re-
built which Nehemiah was being pushed
with vigor but the report came ''the
work is retarded by rubbish" was the
narrative upon which the subject mat
ter was based. Our modern literature
the excesses of society and other evils
of our day were applicably and forcl-
bly, brought forward as rubbish which
retard the worlds advancement toward
righteousness, truth and the up build
ing of Gods Kingdom on the earth.

ROUND ROBIN JUSTIFIED.
Condition of the Men AID
the Reason.

WASHINGTON Aug. 9.-General Shat
ter telegraphed hhe president yesterday
regarding the publication of the Ground
robin" signed by the general officers of
his command, saying in part:
Situation is greatly aggravated from
the fact that before any of the men
were taken i'll they were thoroughly ex-
hausted. At least 70 per cent of the
command had been down with malarial
fever, from which they recover very
slowly, and are in no condition to stand
an attack of yellow fever or dysentery.
Placed here now in the condition in
which they were when they came here
do not believe they would be in any
particular danger.
''Ihe regiment of immunes which re-
Gently arrived is not suffering at all
and l don't believe they will. They
can keep out of the sun, are well
clothed and fed. What put my COM
mand Ill its present condition was the
~ days OF the campaign when they
had nothing but meat, bread and coffee,
without change of clothes, without any
shelter whatever, and during the period
twice as stormy as it has been since the
surrender. Fresh troops reaching here
in the middle of August, with good
camps, good water, abundance of tent
age-which they will find here-need
not apprehend serious danger
He thanked the president for the high
regard in which he held his (Shafter's 81
command and said Generals Wheeler,
Lawton, Bates and Kent concurred with
him in the views expressed regarding
the situation.

There is only one way to cure deafness.
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normaB
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in

AN APPRECIATED CONCERT.

The Dalles Instrumental Quartette
was greeted by large and appreciative
audience in the Levans' hall in this city
on Tuesday night. The people of the
Locks have been looking forward to this
musical treat for two weeks, and that
their expectations were realized was
evident by the applause following each
number.
Prof. Ryan is an artist and the young
men accompanying HIM are especially
clever. Clinton Alden plays second
mandolin and shows a great deal of
talent, also Messrs. Parkins and Reese
with their respective instruments.
Prof. Ryan's guitar solos show him to
be master of that instrument, also he
proved himself vocalist, the hit of the
evening being his rendition of s'Ziz,
Zazazumzun."
Messrs. Reese and Parkins gave a
guitar duett, which was very pleasing.
The audience was very much surprised
when Prof. Ryan announced that the
gentlemen had been his pupils only
three months. The Locks people were
very proud of Mr.. Parkins, as he Is an
old resident OF this city and mauy of his
friends were present to hear him.
The Dalles people camping about the
Locks were out in full force to greet the
bows, and showed the Locks people that
the members of the quartette were
fayorites at home. The boys visited
