superintendent Gavin Resigns.

The people of The Dalles, who have
seen the public schools of our city
advance so signaIly under the professor
ship and superintendency of Prof. John
Gavin, will learn with much regret that
his connection with the school will end
with this years work, he having decided
to follow other pursuits, presumably law, /,
and voluntarily resigning. He, however,
we are glad to hear, will remain in The
Dalles.
While we regret the loss of such q
competent superintendent as Prof.
Gavin, at the same time every citizen,
parent and all concerned, will feel a
satisfaction that his mantle falls on one
30 generally esteemed and thoroughly
competent to fill the position of super
intendent as is Prof. ]. s. Landers. In
all of his work in the schools during the
few years he has been with us, his con-
scientiousness in every detail has been 80
evident and his success so marked, that
not the slightest hesitancy will be felt in
entrusting the esupervision of the schools
to him. The city Is very fortunate in
having at hand man of his character
and attachments to step in and carry on
the work 30 we'll accomplished by Prof.
@ aVin.

themselves entirely out of debt, they de-

IT WAS a LOVE MATCH.
Well Known Society Man DisOwned
by HIS FAMILY.

The dashing Jack Henderson, we'll
know in society circles from Seattle to
Frisco, Is in trouble. 1t is all because of
an unfortunate attachment formed last
summer while on an outing and camp
ing expedition with his friends.
The party was encamped among the
mountains, in the base of which flows a
picturesque river, and Mr.. Henderson
who is something of an artist in his way,
was sketching some of the peaks and
crags, preparatory to transferring them
to canvas.
Being an enthusiast on nature, and
meeting in the daughter of farmer,
mature" personified, he Immediately
fell in love with her. Miss Baxter was
a simple, uneducated, unsophisticated
country girl, but gifted with remarkable
beauty. When the story leaked out, his
mother, the aristocratic leader of the
400, demonstrated with him. but in
vain.
He married her,
AS might have been expected, such a
union was productive only of quarrels
and fault-finding. and it was not long
before the fastidious man of fashion
tired of his country wife. She realized
the reason. The vast difference in their
educations and positions made it i'm
possible that happiness could be theirs.
After a quarrel, she left him one night,
and it is learned, went to an old friend
whom she had known, who is now
maintaining fashionable training school
for young ladies. What will the sequel
be? Drawing on ones imagination, it is
not difficult to guess, but guessing is
tiresome, tedious trouble, and everybody
can save themselves all that by going to
see ga Sum mer Fancy" next Wednes-
day night. :
Mercy Baxter will be interpreted by
Miss Rose Michel, Jack Henderson by
Mr.. Percy H. Levin; Mrs. Henderson
by Mrs. 6. G. Blakeley Edith, who first
will and then won't be engaged to Harry
Woodthorp, by Miss Myrtle Michel,
while Mr.. Earnest Lueddeman as Harry,
the philosophical and patient lover, will
WOO wonderfully well. Prof. Potts by
Will Frank, finally wins the gay widow,
who will be admirably portrayed by Mrs.
Maud Eddon. Harry Lonsdale will do
the ''tender old father" act. But they
do say that ''doing the TENDER" is one
of Harry's strong points, whether it be
mid moon lit scenes or over a choice
'loin of beef" Last, but by no means
least. comes Wally, Jacks brother. who
can't find anything better to do than to
fall in love with his eister-in-law. Will
Crossen takes the part of Wally.
Altogether. the play is laughable
comedy, full of wit and pathos. Under
the direction of Mr.. Percy H. Levin,
who is an actor of ability, splendid
performance will be given. This will
be the 1OSth performance he has given
of ga Summers Fancy.

The announcement in the Oregonian
of the death of Chancellor Thoburn at
at Portland, Tuesday evening, was a
shock not only to his friends here, but
to those who heard him speak on the
subject of emissions and Education, !"
upon his visit to this city a few months
since. He was one of those powerful
men whom the church nor the state can
afford to lose. Highly educated, and
possessing a love for his work, which
cannot fail to be productive of good, his
death is deeply deplored by ali who
realize his worth.
Sliding mountain, just below Cascades,
as good many know, has for years been
literally sliding towards the Columb bia.
1t moved on an average of four feet a
year, and the roadbed was continually
pushed out of place. With a view to
stopping the glacial action of this mighty
mountain, several o. R. & N. officials
last summer scaled the peak. Back ol
it they found couple of lakes with NO
outlet. The waters from these lakes
undoubtedly seeped through the earth
which probably rested on slsnting slate
rock, and in this manner propelled the
earth downward. The lakes were i'm
mediately drained, since which time the
mountain has not budged an inch.

ANOTHER FIGHT
At lilo lilo
One American Killed and
Fifteen Wounded.

NEW YORK, March PA dispatch
to the Herald from Ilo lilo, island of
Panay, says: A battalion of the
Eighteenth infantry, a platoon of the
Sixth artillery and the machine gun
battery made reconnaissance in the
direction of Mandurrioao and Santa
Barbara Thursday. While they were
returning the insurgents attacked the
outposts on the right.
Although fatigued from marching
in the broiling sun for two hours. the
entire command proceeded to the as
sistance of their comrades. the ar
tillery pouring shell and shrapnel up.
on the insurgents, who were strongly
entrenched in large numbers. Com.
panies G, K, and H, of the Eighteenth,
deployed to the right, driving the in
surgents back, and then, wheeling to
the left, made junction with COM
panies B and 1. A heavy engagement
ensued.
The fighting continued until dark,
and the Americans had advanced to
within 300 yards of the enemy's last
stronghold. The American troops
were exhausted by the fighting, and
having to wade knee-deep through the
rice fields and sugar cane. There
were several cases of prostration by
the heat. During the fight the Amer
leans fired 62S00 rounds and it is
thought the enemy fired double that
number. The only American killed
was Paivate Louis Biehl, of the
Eighteenth infantry, and fifteen were
wounded. 1t is estimated the eneny's
loss was 20 killed and 300 wounded.

MONEY PLENTIFUL.

1t is true that money is plentiful in
the bank vaults. The banks of To.
peka have made publie an agreement
to discontinue paying interest on time
deposits. Non-thinking writer's pa
rade the large surplus in the bank as
q refutation of bimetalists' arguments
but the condition they boast of is not
a good one. and it is direct result of
the goldbug policy. In an era of fall
ing prices business is Improbable.
When your stock of goods depreciates
in value on your hands, failure is prob
able. Consequently money stages out
of business, lies idle in the banks, and
interest on time deposits is no longer
necessary to bring to the bankers more
money than they know what to do
with. We prefer the rising market of
former good and cheap money days,
when all labor was employed and every
dollar was in demand for investment
in productive industry and business.
We shall see such times again. The
people will not always permit mon
eyed oligarchy to enact, interpret and
execute the laws. In the meantime
worse days are in store, and very soon.
When the trusts, made inevitable by
the business stagnation due to the
gold-standar policy. have driven all
small fry out of the field and have
made it impossible for new enterprises
to start, there will be still greater
glut of money in banks, greater
scarcity of money in the pockets of the
less wages and smaller chances
perience, and after it will come politi-
cal changes.
