A. C. e,ger Robbed Saturday Night.

Yesterday morning when Mr.. A. @.
Giger awoke and began to drees he was
astonished to find that he had had a
caller during the night who had not an
ncunced his arrival and left as uncere-
moniously as he came. He, however,
had made the call one which counted as
far as he was concerned.
Mre. GIger is visiting friends in Salem
and Mr.. Giger occupied the front bed
room The doors of the house leading
outside were all locked, but back
window was found by the caller to be
unlatched, and raising it he pushed
settee aside, and entered. Mr.. Giger
had left jet burning In his room,
which evidently afforded light enough
for the robber to see his way clear, as he
left it burning. On the dresser was
watch, which Mr.. Giger had given his
wife as wedding present, and which
was valued at $50. This he had the good
taste to appropriate. He alec took a
emit of clothes which Mr.. Giger had
| worn the day before. Then he walked
into the parlor and must have felt that
he had plenty of time. for he emptied
the POCKETS and placed penknife, pa pers,
ETC., in neat little pile on the couch, !,
taking the clothes with him. In the
vest pocket was watch worth 500, and
on the chain Knight Templar's charm
set with diamonds, for which Mr.. Giger
paid $35. These, of courae, he did not
neglect to appropriate. In the pants
pocket was purse containing four
twenty dollar pieces ard some checkF.
The checks he kindly fo'de end put
back in the purse, laying it on the pile
of refuse but the twenty dollar pieces
he forgot to leave.
| Evidently feeling satisfied, he un-
locked the back door and let himself out
that way.
1t seemed but small transaction and
yet Mr.. Giger is the loser by abou: $255,
not counting the suit of clothes, beside
the value attached to the articles which
cannot be reckoned in dollars anG cents.
In both of the watches were pictures
of their little boy and girl, but other
than those, which can be easily dc
stroyed, he took nothing which could be
used as clew.

Business Transacted BY Them and Ems
Allowed.


At 8 O'Clock Saturday evening Council
men Clough, Stept enc, Kuck, Keller,
Cunning, Johnston and Michelbach
met in regular session in the recorders
Office. Nothing of special importance
was transacted but number of minor
matters attended to.
First was read the report of the f.
nance committee giving a complete
account of the tax transactions between
the city and county, and it was recon-
mended that the recorder open a book
account with the county, charging and
giving credit for taxes which the county
collects for the city.
On motion of Clorgh the fire and
water committee was instructed and
empowered to purchase Elk new 6-;nch
fire hydrants to place IN various locali-
ties throughout the city.
The recorder was then instructed to
draw up an ordinance regulating the
erection of bill boards. The object of
this ordinance is to restrain persons
from putting up dangerous boards which
are liable to fall and cauee much trouble.
Should some of those recently erected
be blown over they would be liable to
do serious damage.
Quite little inconvenience being
caused by the post holes at the old fair
grounds being left open, the marshal
was Instructed to zee that they are filed
in.
The judiciary committee asked for
further time in regard to the application
of G. L. Phillips for deed to certain
property on the hill.
1t was then reported to the council
that~a cesspool existed under the Office
lof w. S. Myers, on Court street, and the

in consequence. 1t takes a good deal of
sand to withstand these windy winds.
The funeral of the late Mrs. R. F.
Gibbons will take place from the family
residence, on the corner of Fourth and
Liberty, tomorrow (Tuesday) afternoon
at 2 80 o'clock. All friends invited to

His Dalles friends extend to Ed their
heartiest congratulations.
Last Wednesday night in Washington
City, Columbia university graduated a
young man we'll known in The Dalles,
Alvah w. Patterson, brother of Otis
Patterson, receiving the degree of bach

man of more than ordinary ability and
by close application has won foremost
place among the students of the uni

foremost lawyers of the land.
Mr.. and Mrs. @. c. Weigel, who have

They happened to be passengers on the

SUDDEN DEATH OF MRS. eleoNs
she Passes From the Church Service Be-
low to That Above.


For more than year past it has
seemed that scarcely week has gone by
without compelling US to chronicle the
sudden taking off of some one of our well
known residents either by accident or
from a short illness, and the city is
shocked by the news of the death of
those whom we least expected to
part with. Yesterday marked another
such occurrence, and scarcely could the
news be credited when one by one heard
of the very sudden death of Mrs. r. F.
Gibbons. But a few days ago the re-
porter met her on the bank corner and
smilingly she said, "Just put it in the
paper that 1 made trip to the city, for
havn't been down town for 80 long"
Little did we think as we jokingly
chatted with her that We would be COM
PEELED in 80 short a time to tell our
readers that her pleasant, CHEEKY
countenance would be seen on our streets
no more; that the church, where her
place was seldom vacant, would mics
her forever, or that in the home, which
for so many years che has beautffied not
alone by her handiwork, nor by her love
for the flowers which she tended so care
| fully, but by her constant happy dis
position, which made her ever as beam
of sunshine. But so uncertain is this
life that but yesterday she was in her
accustomed pew in the Congregational
church, and in an hour after had sit
down in the church where congregation
ne'er break up.
For some time past she has suffered
at intervals with rheumatism, which
though very painful was not considered
dangerous, and admitted of her being
about most of the time. Yesterd ay
morning che accompanied Misses Vir-
ginia and Hattie Marden to church, but
about IL AS whispered to the young
ladies that she felt cold and would GO
home and get warm. As they passed
the house on their way home che called
them in and they found her in great
pain, and while Hattie ran for Mr..
she could to ease her, finally telephon.
ing for the doctor. She grew steadily
worse, however, and about twenty
minutes after her husband arrived the
pain seemed to strike the heart and she
breathed her last, seemingly uncon.
scious during the entire time that she
was in a dangerous condition.,
The suddenness of it all seemed tc
stun those about her, and 1lees those
who received the news later, for having
lived IN The Dalles since 1862, and be.
ing so prominent in church work and
society circles, she was 30 we'll known
and generally beloved.
She was born in Princeton, ILL.,, March
8, 1843, her maiden name being Matilds
Francis Wixam. She was married tc
Mr.. Gibbons in 1856, when she was but
Is years of age. Came to The Dalles in
1862, where she has since lived
She was the mother of five children,
only two of whom are living-Georgt
and Ralph. She is last but one of 6
large family.
The sympaF by of al goes out to those
whom she leaves, especially her husband
whose life will be doubly desolate, hav
ing paestd so many years with so happ,
and loved a clnpanion.
