About 4 O'Clock yesterday afternoon
Giger & Co.'s etore he suddenly fell to
the floor in dead faint. The doctor
was called and after half hour spent
in working over him, he was sufficiently
recovered to be carried to Mr.. Schmidt's
room in the Chapman building, al
though he did not regain consciousness
! for several hours. II is thought to be
neuralgia of the heart, as Fred has had
some such trouble before. He is some
what improved today, and will be taken
home this afternoon.
Mobiles Dramatic Company, that
excellent organization, opened Tuesday
night in the very funny farce comedy
"Our Strategists," and we are glad to
note that they are receiving so liberal
! patronage. They are certainly giving
the people of Heppner a rare treat in the
way of good plays, artistically produced,
and fine music by their band and orches-
ira. This is the best company the
amusement loving people of our city
| have had the pleasure of witnessing in
years, and during the remainder of their
engagement merit packed houses

1t will be good news to those who are
wont to drive during the summer
months to hear that the grade on Union
street, at the southwest corner of the
Academy park, is being improved so
that instead of encountering the steep
hill there, it will be an easy grade. The
road is also being worked on, and trees
have been cut out preparatory to cutting
the street through on Liberty from
i Twelfth to Fourteenth, and down Four
teenth to Mill creek. No better move
could be made, nor one which would be
more appreciated unless it be that the
same amount of work be done on various
other city roads leading out of town.
In Portland the price of divorces has
been reduced from $40 to So, and they
are now having bargain sale in that
city, one in which both the women and
men are interested. Would it not be a
better idea for clergymen justices of the
peace, and all who have the authority
to perform the site act" to increase the
price of the ceremony, and also that the
price of the license be placed at such a
notch that it is more difficult matter
to get into the matrimony muddle, in
stead of reducing the price of extricat-
ing ones self from its clutches. As it
is now, the cost of both getting in and
out of the "blissfu. state' is but about
$500 and sack of potatoes or a squash
or two-$2.00 for the license, potatoes for
the clergyman (oftner nothing) and $5
for a divorce.
The handicap bowling contest between
the ladies and gentlemen at the club
alleys last night drew a large crowd, and
great excitement prevailed as game after
game was played, particularly among
the ladies who seemed to have their
innings last night. Indeed its seldom
that The Dalles ladies fail to have the
best of the bargain, for we have some
fine bowlers among the ladies of the
club. The teams were composed of Mrs.
Seufert, Mrs. Fish, Mrs. Houghton, Mrs.
Blakeley, Misses Anna Lang and Alma
Schanno; Messrs. Bradshaw, Hostetler,
VanNorden, Mays, Kurtz and Schmidt.
In the first game there were 81 points to
the credit of the ladies; IN the second
: 13, and in the third 2. In the last the
gentlemen came to the front with %
hahead. When it was announced that
the ladies had won by seventeen pins,
there was great rejoicing, and the ''gal-
? lery gods," who always stand in with
: them, were enthusiastic in the extreme
: The highest total score for the ladies
e was that made by Miss Schanno, 143
e that of the gentlemen, 159, won by Vic.
g tor Schmidt. Mrs. Houghton held the
j highest single score for the ladies, 48
Ed Kurtz for the gentlemen, which wal
n also 48. The winning team had refused
i previous to the games to put up any
g wager but no doubt they did not refuse
a treat at the close of the contest.
