HE MIXED HIS TERMS.
But He Probably Appreciated the
Force of the Law None
81: the Less.

"A daily observation of that part OF
the community that from either power
ty or weakness gives employmentto to the
criminal courts, furnishes opportuni-
ties for the study of humanity that few
can enjoy, says the Louisville CONNER
cial. These people usually have very
limited education, many of them have
none; yet the natural shrewdness Of
the race, sharpened by experience and
by suffering, develops some extremely
keen minds. What they learn, they
learn "by ear" as it were; wherefrom
some very amusing occurrences arise.
"A lawyer, who is a close observer.
said: Some time ago I talked with a
French negro from New Orleans, who
was a prisoner in the county Jail. This
was when the police were charging
persons who were arrested on sus-
picion, as suspected felons.' He was tc
be presented in the circuit court for
indictment. I said: What are you in
Jail for?' He answered.: They say
am respected fellow!"' well, when
do you get trial?' Z don't know he
said, I go to the circus court to-mor.
row!'"
Wonder what the grave judges would
think of that?

when a child and had through the
many years of her life practiced the
precepts of Christianity, thus endear.

SUED THE COUNTY.
henry Garduer Asks For $4,000 Dam

Henry Garduer Asks For $4,000 Dam
Henry Gardner, through his attor-
neys, Moore & Gavin, has begun an
action for damages against Wasco
county for injuries sustained while
travelling on county road near Fiji
teen.Mile creek last winter. In his
complaint he alleges that he was COM
ing down grade on Dec. 81, 1898,
with loaded wagon, when because
of the bad condition of the road
and the ice that had accumulated
theron, his team was unable to
hold the wagon; that it went off the
grade, and thereby he sustained in
iuries that will be permanent. He
therefore demands damages in the sum
of St, 500.
1t Will be remembered that Mr..
Gardner and Mrs. Reese were coming
to The Dalles when the accident oc-
CURED, and that Mrs. Reese was killed
while Mr.. Gardner had an arm broken
and sustained other serious injuries.

GEEMANs GO TO THE OPERA.
They Are More Discriminating Crfe-
les Than the French and ;.
ri, Dramas Are Cleaner. ~

The opera begins in Dresden at seven
o'clock and closes at ten, writes Lillian
Bell from Berlin to the Ladies' Home
Journal. The best seats are absurdly
cheap. and whole families, whole
schools, whole communities, should
say, go there together. Coming straight
from Paris, from the theatrical, viva
cious, enthusiastic French audiences,
this first German audience seemed seri-
Gus, thoughtful, appreciative, but un-
enthusiastic. They use more Judgment
about applause than the French. They
never interrupt scene, or even mu-
sical phrase, with misplaced applause.
Their appreciation is slow, but hearty,
and always worthily disposed. The
French are given to exaggerating an
emotion and to applauding an eccen-
tricity. Even their subtlety is over
done. The German drama is cleaner,
the family tie is made much of, senti-
ment is encouraged instead of being
ridiculed as it too often is in America,
but the German point of view of Amer
cans is quite as much distorted as the
French. That statement is severe but
true. 1t would be utterly impossible
for the American girl to be more ex-
quisitely misunderstood than by
French and German men.

The result is that Gilbert Gilbertson,
Swede, is crippled for life by a shot
from a 54-caliber Winchester in the
hands of Chris Hagan, 17.year old
boy with whom he was out hunting.
The two had separated and agreed to
meet at certain point. Gilbertson
reached the place first and sat down to
wait. Hagan coming up, mistook him
for bear and fired at short range. the
ball taking effect squarely in the left
shoulder and badly shattering it. Gill
bertson is poor man with small
family, and should he survive will be a
cripple for life.

Saturday Night.
For some time past there GAS been
talk of a fistic encounter between Larry
Maloney, of this place, and man named
Ray. of Umatilla county, who has been
here selling horses. 1t was announced
that a wager of 500 side had been
made for a knock out contest with
gloves, and in consequence the sport
ing fraternity of The Dalles was all
worked up over the event. The fight
took place somewhere down the river
last Saturday night and was said to
have been witnessed by about 125
Dallesites. The little steamer Inland
Flyer was chartered for an excursion.
and about II o'clock cut loose rom the
dock here and dropped down the river
to the site of the encounter nobody
will tell where, whether op the Ore
gon or Washington side.) But that
the boat landed and that there was

When the battle grounds were reach

further blows struck, and the fight was
declared over. The result was uusat-

SOME SPLENDID SHEEP.

| Car Load of the Finest Sheep Ever
Brought to Oregon.
For many years past the Baldwin
Sheep & Land Co., of Hay Creek, has
had the reputation of breeding as
good sheep as could be found anywhere
in the Northwest, or in fact as could
be found in the United States. Not
satisfied with this the company has de-
termined to have tie best sheep that
are to be found in the world. and the
recent shipment they have received
proves beyond doubt that they have
accomplished their purpose. J. P. Van
Houten, who has purchased sheep for
the company for many'years past, has
just returned with car load of
animals that for breeding, size, form
and staple have no superiors anywhere.
The shipment consists of 80 rams and
10 ewes, they being Rambolettes, De-
laines and Spanish Merinos, and were
selected from the best flocks in Ohio,
Michigan, Illinois and Wisconsin. In
making the selections Mr.. Van
Houten visited over 100 focks of
thoroughbred sheep owned by the best
known breeders in the country. and
took only such animals as he con-
sidered perfect in every respect.
Among the number is yearling Ram.

being fine form, compact fleece and

feature of desirable animal for this
country. All of the other animals are
equally meritorions. and many of
them are prize winners at sheep shows
in half dozen different states.
The Baldwin Sheep & Land Co.
have displayed splendid Judgement in
breeding fine sheep in the past, and
much of the excellence of the focks of
Eastern Oregon, Washington and
Idaho is due to their efforts, for they

A PLEASANT PARTY.
Halloween Social Furnished Amusement |
for a Large Crowd.

Halloween Social Furnished Amusement
for a Large Crowd.
Baldwin opera house was nonesto
large to accommodate those who at
tended the Halloween social given by
the young ladies of the Congregational
church Monday evening,in fact seating
room was taxed TO its fullest capacity.
and the large audience with one &C.
cord pronounced the entertainment
exceptionally good.
The program began with vocal
quartet by DR.. Doane, Professors
Landers and Lundell and Mr.. Northup,
followed by rendition by six ladies
in which they told the sorrowful fate
of a grasshopper sitting on sweet
potato vine, which was eaten up by a
big turkey gobbler. The applauses
that followed the rendition were loud
and long, but the pent up vociforous-
ness of the audience was reserved for
the next number, the "Irdian War
Dance" participated in by some 25
ladies and gentlemen, costu ned in
the garb of aborigines. Their make
up was gaudy, though perhaps not
artistic, sJill they amused the crowd
and were called back three times be-
fore the people would excuse them
from the stage. Another rendition by
Messrs. Doane, Landers, Lundell and
Northup, then Mrs. Eddon told of
Aunt Samantha's 3 experience learning
to skate. recital that was highly
amusing. When the curtain rose
again, Rev. Polling appeared in the
role of magician, and real cleverly
exhibited an invention that equaled
thu mythical fountain of youth"
Through its assistance he was enabled
to transform an old woman into a
beautiful young lady, another into a
man, and third into sweet little
girl, the latter proving to be Sidney
Miller, who appeared on the stage and
gave violin solo that called forth
hearty encore. The little miss dis
played marked ability as violinist,
and for child of her age plays very
prettily. The entertainment closed
by Misses Myrtle Michel and Georgia
Sampson singing the Up-to-Date Girl,
which had to be repeated before the
audience was satisfied.
After the program had been rerder-
ed, the ladies served refreshments in
the dressing rooms back of the stage.
