A HOUSEHOLD JEWEL.

Nothing Smoothes the Housewives Tenn
per Like Good Stove.
A cook stove is a necessity in every
household, but poor stove, one that
won't draw, doesn't bake we'll, or
heats uneavenly is vexation, it ruff
f1es the cooks tember and causes inn
properly cooked food to appear on the
table. On the other hand a good
stove, one that cooks just right, keeps
the housewife always in good humor
and sends food to the table fit for
prince to eat. There are many good
stoves and ranges, but none equal the
celebrated Charter Oak. 1t is the
most perfect make. All the good
qualities of other stoves are combined
in it These stoves and ranges are
not only the best, but they are no
more expensive than many inferior
makes. The only place in The Dalles
where the Charter Oak can be had is
at the Great Northern Furniture store.
A full line of other stoves. ranges and
heaters is also carried by this house.
In house furnishing goods the Great
Northern also takes the lead, offering
the best goods for the lowest price,
and the assortment is not excelled any
where in the state outside of Portland.
Remember the place to get best values
N all lines of house furnishing goods,
rom fiat iron to full set of furni-
,ure, at the lowest price is at the

TWO BARNS BURNED.
Thought to Be the Work of Tramps @

Thought to Be the Work of Tramps oI
Hobos.
About o'clock this morning two
barps. south of the race track, one
belonging to G. e. Chrisman and the
other to Chrisman Bros, were de-
stroyed by fire, together with about
SO tons of hay, buggy, set of har
ness and sleigh. causing loss of
$1,000 on which there was no insurance.
G. E. Chrisman had just got up and
went out to feed his chickens when he
discovered the upper part OF his barn
in flames. There were three horses
in the barn and he first turned his at
tention to getting them out. Being
quite an old gentleman and rather
feeble, he barely got the horses out be-
fore the building went down. The
flames soon caught Chrismau Bros.
barn, which was only 25 feet away,
and it was consumed before assistance
could be summoned.
AS there had not been any fire about
the barn the evening before, it is sup
posed that some tramps had gone into
the hay to sleep, and had set the hay
on fire by striking matches, since it is
hardly to be presumed that anyone
would have set it on fire purposely
Mr.. Ghrisman's residence was only 3
short distance from the buildings, but
fortunately the wind was blowing in
an opposite direction from the house
else it would have been consumed.

ANOTHER CALL
FOR TROOPS
Five More Regiments to
Be Organized.

New YORK. Aug. 15.-A special tC
the Herald from Washington: Order:
! are expected within few days direct
| ing organization of five new volunteer
regiments for the Philippines. While
final decision on the matter of en-.
listing still more troops has not yet
been made, the fact that Secretary
Root is already considering the ques-
dicates the strong probability that
they will be organized. The secretary
is extremely anxious to get good Of
ffcers and as he cannot examine each
individual record, he has decided to
place the responsibility on the govern
ors of the states.
social pull will cut no figure in the
distribution of the commissions in
these new regiments. Secretary Root
made that point unmistakably clear to
Senator Clay, of Georgia, when the
latter called at the war department to
urge the appointment of several young
Georgians, who are ambitious to en-
ter the army as commissioned officers.
"We have heretofore had so much
trouble over civilian appointments"
said secretary Root, "that we purpose
to make the new appointments with.
out the aid of political or personal in
duence."
Secretary Root is determined that |
the fall campaign shall end the in
and that General Otis may
have no excuse for failure to bring it
10 close; he purposes giving him as
arge an army as conditions may show
t necessary. The proposed new
regiments may be sent Immediately
lfter the ten volunteer regiments al
'eady enlisted, should necessity for
hem be demonstrated. Should it be
apparent when these commands have
,een recruited that Otis force is still
insufficient to control the situation,
ecruiting will continue until all the
'olunteers authorized by congress
AVE been enlisted.

Orders have been issued by, Acting Sec.

ing him to confer with the Dewey
reception committee of New York and
Rear-Admiral Sampson respecting the
navy's participation in ceremonies in
cidential to the Homecoming of Ad
miral Dewey.
Rear-Admiral Sampson has been
directed to prepare program for the
ships of his squadron in the reception
of the admiral, which will be formally
approved by the department. Admiral
Sampson is also expected to confer
with the reception committee of New
York. so that there may be no confu-
sion. 1t seems to have been fully
decided that the North Atlantic squad
ron will not go abroad to meet the
Olympia, but that the admiral will be
requested to send to the department
before leaving the Azores notice of the
exact route which he will take in
crossing the Atlantic so that Admiral
Simpsons command may meet him,
perhaps a days sail from New York.
This, however, is detail upon which
Admiral Sampson will report.
The entire squadron will be assembl-
ed to honor the admiral, and when it
falls IN with the Olympia will fire a
salute of II guns and the drums will
give four ruffles and fiurish. Admiral
Sampson is entitled to salute of 13
guns, two ruffles and hourishes. Ad-
miral Sampson will be expected to
make the firs5 call upon Admiral Dewey,
who will return it and the vessels will
then proceed to New York for joint

| An Anti-Expansion Republican Ticket
May BE Nominated.
| New YORK, Aug. l6.--A special to
the Herald from Washington says:
Senator Clay, of Georgia, democrat,
is quoted in the midsummer political
gossip here as having expressed the
belief that there would be an anti-ex-
pansion republican ticket in the field
for the presidency next year. Accord
ing to this gossip, the new ticket is to
be called the continental Repub.
lican" and though it is not believed
that it will be possible to get former
Speaker Reeds consent to head the
ticket, he is counted on as one of its
most effective supporters.
Former Secretary of the Treasury
George S. Boutwell,, of Massachusetts,,
who is high in the councils of the Anti
Expansionists, is talked of as the con-
tinental republican candidate for the
presidency and it is said that the anti.
expan nsionists, with him at the head of
the ticket, would expect to prevent
the regular republican ticket from
carrying any of the New England
states.
