known as Jack" among Dalles people.
No particulars were given regarding his
death, other than that he fell between
cars while braking on the Canadian
Pacific near Alberta, in the Northwest
Territory several days since, and was lit
orally cut in two. His remains were
shipped to his relatives in Illinois. Mr..
Wike was for years employed by the

The difficulties of making the arrange
ments for this engagement have finally
been cleared away, and recent inform
alton from headquarters announces that
everything is satisfactory. This has

Assem- blies on the coast, and the news of
its final settlement will be highly
gratifying to the public as well. Sam

Lovers lane tfor such the walk on
termed) is not an exception to the gen
eral rule which is applicable to many
walks in our city, and therefore is sadly
in need of repairs. About half way up
the walk, section of the railing is miss
ing, probably torn asunder by some des-
perate maiden who was intent upon
giving her lover a railing, and never re-
placed. As love is said to be blind it is
very dangerous state of affairs TO have
a narrow walk like the one in question,
ungarded by railing, particularly as a
misstep would probably cause serious
accident. Some years ago in this city
such a small matter as the absence of q
barrier of this sort caused the death of a
visitor to our city-a Mr.. Skottowe, and
serious injury to his wife. These mat
ters which appear to be trihing, are
often productive of much harm and
should be attended to.

A DREADFUL ACCIDENT.
Mike Wagner is FearfulIy Mangled
While Attempting to
Steal Ride.

In spite of the numberless lessons
given to the tramp fraternity as to the
fearful results of attempting to steal
rides, another one was this morning
added to the long list of victims to that
foolish habit.
About a quarter to IL o'clock this
morning a man, who gave his name as
Mike Wagner, with his partner, de-
termined to get to Portland by riding
train was passing the crossing at the
foot of Court street, the latter succeeded
in getting himself into position for the
ride; but not so with Wagner. The
train was going at a good rate of speed,
and, stepping on rock, he slipped and
fell under the wheels. Several who saw
the accident fastened to his assistance
and found his right leg fearfully mashed
and broken just above the ankle. His
left leg was in about the same condition.
while both legs were badly bruised
above the thighs.
VIM. Van Bibber arrived with his
wagon few minutes later and took the
poor fellow to the city Jail, and Drs.
Hollister and Logan were then sum-
moned. His means were heart-rendipe
and he besought Mr.. Van Bibber to kill
him or give him something to cause his
death, claiming that he has no relations
and nothing to live for. Many who
stood by felt it would be deed OF mercy
to end his sufferings at once. The sur.
geons made him as comfortable as pos
sible and finding it necessary to ampu
tate both legs below the knee, placed
him on the operating table this after
noon and, assisted by Mrs. Ida Craw'
ford, trained nurse, amputated the
right leg just below the knee. The
| patient was go weak that it was found
| impossible to attempt to amputate the
other member, the man being nearly
dead when taken from the table. 1t il
thought he cannot survive the shock.
Wagner is a Swede about 30 years o
age, and has not the appearance of {
common tramp. He claims that this Il
his first attempt at stealing ride. Tha
he has been working up in the country
and reaching town without any means
thought he would get free ride t.
Portland, and attempted it with tn,
dreadful result, which is even worse thar
instant death.
Mr.. Miller, of Des Chutes, who is il
the city, identified him as being a maj
who worked for him last fall and say
he is splendid workman and trust
worthy fellow.

THE GENTLEMEN ENTERTAIN.
Their Quartet Highly Appreciated4
Also the CAKE.

The success of the gentlemen as hosts
was proven last night when the Ladies'
Aid Society and host of their friends,
at the invitation of Messrs. w. H. Will
son and A. NJ. Kelsay, gathered at the
home of the former and were so admir-
ably received and entertained by them.
At the door they were greeted by Mr..
Wilson, whose duties in the dining
later required that his evening suit be
guarded by a neat white apron. Mr..
Kelsav, dressed in the same manner,
assisted the ladies to remove their wraps
and gracefully arranged the bon bon
caps on their heads.
When the parlors were crowded with
guests the program began, and con-
sisted of solos by VIM. Frank and Rev.
Polling, a quartet by Messrs. Landers,
Doane, Clifford and Jayne; an Irish read
ing by j. F. Hampshire, and a classical
quartet by Messrs. Wilson, Glenn, Hob
con and Kelsay. AS this is the first
appearance of these gentlemen as musi-
clans, all were anxiously awaiting their
entree. Their extreme modesty sug-
gested to them the idea of appearing in
a manner which would hide their
bushes. They therefore appeared in a
sheet and pillow case costume, with
masks hiding the facial expressions,
| ing in the extreme. AS the perfect
melody filled the room, surprise was
depicted on every countsnance and all
deplored the fate which had for 10 these
many years kept them in ignorance oil
the wonderful talent-in our city. II
was, however, suggested that the singers
must be drawing their inspiration from
the two large American flags which
formed a background for the quartet
and covered a window in the room,
through which it seemed was waited
strains from the "choir Invisible" A
suspicion at once ran through the as
sembly, deepened by the fact that
neither OF the singers turned the leaves
of his music, but sang the entire selec-
tion, as well as an impressive encore
entitled 'tRig-a-Gig, Gig" from one page
of music. Far be it from US, however,
to accuse these reputable gentlemen ol
duplIcity, and we await their re-
appearance at some future date.
'Tis to be regretted that the suggestion
of the choir invisible caused feeling oi
distrust to remain when refreshments
made their appearance and also sug
gested the idea of ''cook invisible .
But again we refrain from passing ar
opinion and say that be the cook WHIT
she may, her cakes take the cake.
On exhibition in the dining room
were two fine looking cakes, frosted
with care tbut not by the guests) ant
labeled with their bakers marks, Kelsay
and Wilson. Each one present wa
furnished with a sample and as eagerl,
grasped a pepsin tablet which lay nea
by. ALI were loud in their praises o
the flavor and lightness of these cakes
and, as no fatalities are reported today
