FUNERAL OF PRIVATE FIELDS.
Touching Account of the Burial of a
Company L. Member

a letter from Manila, September 8,
which was published in the Oregonian,
contains the following touching account
of the illness and death of William
Fields. He was made commissary clerk
at Camp Mckinley, which position he
held until July 15, when he Joined the
hospital corps in order to assist in nurs-
ing his comrades Ill of typhoid fever.
From overwork and exposure he finally
succumbed to the disease, dying a few
days later. The correspondent says:
''No more faithful soldier ever lived :;
| ne gave up his life for his comrades
We went over to Cavite, and buried him
on Sunday. He was a member of Co.
L., and the entire company, off duty,
under the first sergeant, was present.
We arrived at Cavite about 10 O'Clock,
placed the body in rough coffin made
by native mechanics, covered it with
the flag and tropical flowers. It was
placed in a field ambulance, but we had
no horses, SO asked for volunteers to
draw the same. The request was
Those who will volunteer step one pace
TO the 'front.' The Co. stepped off as
one man. 1t meant two miles in the
tropical sun, but it meant more. as 1t
| clearly showed the feeling of one COM
rade for another. The band played the
| dead march, the ambulance followed !;
then came the firing squad; then the
chaplain, officers and company, and last
of all six Spanish prisoners, armed with
| shovels, to dig the grave. Out through
| the portals of Cavite wound the mourn
full procession, crossing the narrow neck
that connects it with the mainland, into
San Rogue, through the native village,
with it's thatched palm huts, on to the
old marine hospital. Here we paused,
and another grave was dug in the Sec
ond row of mounds. a few kind words
by the chaplain, short prayer and the
body was lowered to its last resting
place. Three sharp volleys by the firing
squad, taps by the bugler, and the Span
ish prisoners filled up the grave, mound
and cod it over. A board of rough
wood, on which we carved the name and
regiment of the deceased, is placed at
the head to mark the spot where an
other of Uncle Sans boys is laid to rest
5000 miles from home, friends and loved
ones.''

IT'S Human Nature.

This readiness to accept the wonderful
and miraculous in preference to COM
monplace truth. A plausible and GLIB
tongued doctor can go from town to town
curing, or trying to cure, people, and
have great. influx of shekels, while
every community in which the so-called
doctor goes is supplied with quiet,
learned practitioners, who have forgotten
more than the fakir ever learned, and
they can give you the best treatment t
within the reach of human knowledge.
While your home doctors carry you from
year to year, get up at all times of the
night and are your servants during the
dey, and you pay them when you are
we'll or able, the fakir gets the cash, and
is gone forever. If your eyes are troub-
ling you in any way, call en- Prof. P. 6.

OUTLOOK FOR THE FAIR.
Opening Day TOmOrrOw--Many Horses
on Hand and Everything Lovely.

The streets of The Dalles today show
very plainly that something out of the
usual order of things is about to take
place. Many strange faces are to be
seen on the streets; the corners begin to
be occupied by games of different de-
scriptions, and fakirs of all sorts and
conditions are making their appearance.
At the pavilion the work of prepara-
ton for and the reception of exhibits is
well under way, and somehow it looks
as if this were to be the banner year of
the pavilion, which is to be under the
direct supervision of Miss Bessie Lang
as entry clerk, assisted by Misses Mar
den and Louise Ruch. No charge is
made for space and entries should be
made at once. The ladies are reminded
that premiums of as much value are Of
fered in the pastry department as for
that of any other exhibit, although in
former years it seems that little atten-
tion has been given this particular line.
At the track things are booming.
This morning the following well known
racers arrived from LaGrande: Trotters
and pacers-Atlus, Ben Bolt, Helen j,
Alta Dell, Almolene and Ida Nc /; run
ners-Juneau, Joe Cotton, Little T. g.,
st. Apollo, Granger. Uncle True, Du-
praise, Monday and Midas. About 70
horses are expected, three carloads ar
irving tonight.
Among the greatest attractions at the
grounds Saturday will be the exhibition
of Del Norte, the champion guideless
PAGER, which, without driver, makes
the mile in 2:0414. This is something
new in the racing line and created quite
a sensation at LaGrande. Altogether
matters look promising for our fair this
year, and if the weather is only what
We all hope for, this will be the crown
ing year of all

A Prineville paper says: "Mrs. M. A.
Moore made score of 81 at Moore's
alleys last Sunday night. We believe
this to be the highest record for ladies
in Oregon. The scores stood one in the
pin each with the last two balla.''
Evidently our Prineville friends have
not kept their eye oE the lady bowlers
in The Dalles, for Mrs. F. L. Houghton
recently made 73 at the club alleys, Mrs.
T. ]. Seufert and Mrs. G. G. Blakeley
holding the record at 81 previously.
The funeral of Mrs. Alice Schultz was
held at the Episcopal church this after
noon at o'clock, Rev. DeForest con-
Quoting the service, which was very
impress,ve. "Nearer Ny God to Thee''
and "Jesus Lover of My Soul" seemed
doubly sweet and solemn as sung by the
choir upon this occasion. The pail
bearers we're chosen from pioneer resi-
dents of our city and were Messrs. 1. N.
Sargent, M. NJ. Gushing, ]. Dougherty,
j. B. Crossen, G. A. Liebe aud Geo.
Ruch. The number of floral offerings
bore evidence of the host of warm friends
which the deceased possessed.
Saturday at 7 :45 p.m.the extra session
of the Oregon Legislature adjourned sine
die. 1t was expected that an adjourn
ment would be had by IL in the morn
ing, but it was delayed on account of the
appropriation bill. A special Southern
Pacific train conveyed most of the mem
bers to Portland Immediately after ad-
journment. 1t is SAID they were not
overly flush, however, most of them
looking for loan until the governor
chose to sign the aforesaid appropriation
bill. AS far as we have heard, the mem
bers from our city were not compelled to
walk the ties, but came up on their
passes, and therefore on the train.
The 0. R. & N. Co., have offered to
give the people along its line between
this city and Hood River and Arlington
and The Dalles an opportunity to at
tend the district fair by making a round
trip rate of one fare during the week.
The d. P. & A. N. Co. makes the same
rate over its line from river points be-
tween this city and Hood River. The
latter company has also made an offer
of round trip to Portland to the
couple who decides to have the knot tied
at the fair. No better inducenent
could be offered than to have the priv.
ilage OF starting on the matrimonial
voyage by enjoying trip down the Col.
um bia river.
