WILL HAVE A SEWER SYSTEM.
This is Determined BY the Council-Cows
May Run at Large and Cyclists May
Ride on sidewalks.


An important special session of the
city council was held Monday at
which were present Mayor Kuck and
Couucilmen Keller, Clough, Johns,
Cunning. Stephens, Joh nston, Shackel-
ford and Wilson.
The first matter considered was the
proposition of opening Federel street.
and as the,bids submitted for doing the
work were considered too high, it was
ordered the marshal employ men and
put the street in good condition as
public thoroughfare, work on some to
begin Wednesday Nov Is. The marshal
was also authorized to rent the city
pest house If possible.
Al a previous meeting petition had
been received by B E. Laughlin and
others asking to put sidetrack in on
Second street and the matter was re.
ferred to the judiciary committe which
reported favorably, and it was ordered
that said petition be granted.
The matter of a new sewerage
system was next considered, the re
consideration of resolution hereto
fore passed by the council having
been, at last meeting, made a special
order of business for this meeting, and
on motion reconsideration of the reso-
luton was lost. Thereupon Council
man Cunning introduced resolution
providing for the running of branch.
sewer down Second street which car.
ried by a vote of 8to 1. The former
resolution provided for the running of
a branch sewer through private pro.
perty, where as the present resolution
calls for the construction of sewer
| down Second street, on property
owned by the city. The recorder was
| also authorized to advertise the loca-
tion of the new proposed sewer at the
| earliest possible date.
On motion of Councilman Wilson the
marshal was instructed TO not enforce
| the ordinance against riding bicycles
| on sidewalks, with the provision that
no bicycle should be ridden on Second
street walks, that no one should ride
on walks at an unusual speed, and that
rider shall dismount ten feet before
meeting lady or child on the walk.
Councilman Shakelford moved that
the orcinar ce preventing COWS run
ming at large within the corporate
limits be suspended for the present,
and the motion was carried.

STUMP PENCILS ARE MASc0TS.
Members OF the New YORK stooA ~
change supsrstitious ABOUT
Lead Sticks.

Talking Of hoodoos and mascoes'
said a member of the stock exchange
renorts the New York Post, "the boys
on the floor of the exchange are as su-
perstitious as q lot of sailors. Ii you
don't believe it you look at the LEAD
pencils they are using the next tarne
you are in the building.
"You won't find man using long
lead pencil. Why? Because long
pencil is 'hoodoo' of the worst kina:
They always cut new pencil In nan
before they sharpen it. Some OF these
pencils acquire the reputation OF De-
ing lucky.
aLess than a week ago came down
without my pencil, which, by the way
is a lucky one-every memorandum
made with that pencil results In
proit for me-and 1 borrowed one
from a friend on the floor. He handed
me stump about an inch long, anu
said: You can use that; it's a lucky
pencil
"Sure enough, made two deals In
the morning. and each netted me a
handome profit.
.T was about to make a memoran-
dunn of some stock had bought when
my friend approached and said:
"Here, take this pencil and let me
have mine again. I've lost on every
deal since I loaned it to you
"Sure enough, I lost on that deal and
the luck went back to the owner of the
pencil.
when you get hold Of lucky pencil
you want to hang on to it.
Some of the boys have little lucky
pencils not more than an inch long
and they guard them as they would
their lives.
IF you. through carelessness or ac.
cident, cause them to break the lead
point they lose whatever regard they
have for you and forever afterward re-
gard you as inimical. Some OF them
wouldn't take five dollars for little
piece of pencil worth considerably less
than a cent"

A scientific paper some time ago re-
ported that the following experiment
was made under the direction OF the
French academy of sciences. with the
body of man who was guillotined. A
moment after the operation the head
was placed on vertical pivot. on which.
after some oscillations. it turned to the
north and remained stationary. 1t was
then turned part way by the professors
in attendance and it moved back into
the same north and south position. This
was repeated until 'the final cessation
of the organic movement"

From Tueday's Daily

Judge Kent, of Hood RIVER, is here
attending court.
F. J. Meyer returned last night from
his farm at Lyle.
Hood River people says there has
been heavy immigration to that place
during this fall, there having been an
addition of at least 10 per cent to the
population.
Sheriff and Mrs. Kelly left this morn
ing for Portland, Mr.. Kelly having
been called to the metropolis as wit
ness in the case of the government
against the fellow who circulated coun.
terfeit niekels here last July.
Mrs. W. L. Bradshaw left Sunday
night for Asheville, North Carolina,
where she goes with the hope that the
southesn climate may prove beneficial
to her health. Her many friends hope
that she may return fully recovered.
The proposed new sewer system for
the city has hung fire long time, but
now it will be put through. The coun-
Gil last night passed resolution chang
ing the plan so that it will not inter-
fere with private property. However,
it will be some time in the spring be-
fore a contract can be awarded and
work started.
A few days ago MIS-. q. L Taliaferro,
a professional nurse, arrived here
from St. Louis expecting to take
charge of some cases for DR.. Geisen-
dorffer, but was taken iii with fever,
and left on afternoons train for
Portland to receive treatment in
hospital. She was accompanied to
Portland by Mrs. Geisendorffer.
D. R. Cooper, of Mt. Hood, is in the
city today, and says everything is
in Upper Hood River valley.
The fruit growers there harvested
light crops, but they are getting fancy
prices for their apples, hence are doing
we'll. Their best grade of apples were
selling in Portland last week at $3.50
box, and were in good demand at that
high price.
Some days ago the Times-Moun-
taineer made mistake in mentioning
the place where the citizens boisted q
pig in celebration of the Beers victory
over the British. 1t was Hood River
instead of Dufur where the celebration
occurred. How the mistake happened
is unexplainable. 1t was one of those
little errors that would slip through q
paper unnoticed by proof readers.
There is considerable encourage
ment for those who have undertaken
to secure a chemical engine and fire
alarm system for The Dalles in the
action of the Wasco Warehouse Com
pany, which yesterday subscribed 500
to the fund. Only about $3.50 isfnow
needed to raise the required amount
to put in the improvements to the fire
apparatus that will give us 10 per cent
reduction on insurance rates.
The first case taken up by the grand |
Jury was that against J. E. Berry, &C. |
cused of selling hay belonging to L. |
5. Davis and appropriating the pro-
,eeds to his own use during Mr.. Dayis'
ABSENCE from the city last summer.
The principal witness against Berry
vas Mrs. Davis, who kept the accounts
Turing her husbands absence, and she
laving died, there was nothing left
,ut for the grand jury to return not
rue bill. !

Thousands of Chrysanthemums.


Few residents of The Dalles who
have not visited the Tackman green
houses have any idea of the magni-
tude of that establishment or the beau
ties to be seen there. There are four
large green houses, with floor space
of 1900 square feet. that are literally
filed with plants in all stages of
growth. At this season of the year
the house devoted to chrysanthemums
is the most attractive, for those beau
tiful winter bloomers are just now at
their best, and present sight that one
could feast his eyes on for hours.
There are thousands of them and of
every color Imaginable, and in size
they are giants. The other houses
are devoted to the starting and grow
ing of choice plants, of which there
are now several thousand in all stages,
just coming out of the ground, and
from that to full bloom. The entire
establishment is heated with hot wa
ter, and is so arranged that an even
temperature can be maintained all the
year round. It is an establishment of
which The Dalles may well be proud.

A FIENplsH ASSAULT.
W. 4. Brown Attempts to Murder HIS
Wife, While Intoxicated.

W. r. Brown attempts to Murder HIS
Wife, While intoxicated.
Ono of the worst cases of human de-
prayity ever known in The Dalles oc-
Cured about 6 A. M. Satu day,
when W. r. Brown attempted to mur'
der his wife with knife. He had
been out carousing all night and re-
turned to his home on Twelfth street
about 6 o'clock in the morning in au
intoxicated condition. Entering the
bed room where his wlfe and two small
children lay asleep he ordered her to
get up. Mrs. Brown obeyed, and no
sooner had she arose than he knocked
her down with his fist. When she re-
covered from the stroke he ordered
her to get pr akfast. Mrs. Brown
arose and went into the kitchen and
proceeded to huild fire, when the
brute again assaulted her, using
knife, stabbing her three times in the
right shoulder above the collar bone.
once in the back of the left shoulder
and once in the back of the head.
Neigh bors hearing Mrs. Browns
screams came to her rescue, else the
fead would probably have finished his
hellish undertaking.
Those who came to the assistance of
the unfortunate woman called DR..
Geisendorffer, who found the wounds
as above stated. and reported them not
necessarily fatal, though the knife
with which they were inflicted. b.
inch clasp knife, was dirty and blood
poisoning may set in, which would
likely cause death. One wound in the
shoulders entered the lungs, while the
others were quite deep.
After Brown had been made to de-
s:st from his terrible assault, he went
to bed as if nothing had happened,
and was found asleep when Deputy
Sheriff Sexton went to arrest him a
few hours after the trouble. He was
too much intoxicated when taken to
Jail to discuss the occurrence, and about
the only statement he would make was
that he did not regret what he had
done.
This shocking affair is the result of
an unhappy marriage of an lily mated
couple. Brown is some so years OF
age, and has several grown children
by former wife, while Mrs. Brown
is several years his junior, and is
bright. sprightly woman. Their mar
ried life has not been congenial, he be-
ing Jealous of her, and on frequent
occasion when returning home drunk
has abused her shamefully, satisfying
his temper by giving her severe beat
ings. They have two bright little girls.

Brown is a laborer, and to all appear
ances has been, since his residence in
The Dalles, an honest, hard working
fellow, but at times he gets drunk, and
when intoxicated is rather quarrel.
some. The occurrence has caused the
severest indignation, and the brute of
man will find but little mercy at
the hands of the jury before whom he
is called to account for his unnatural
deed.

A Pretty Tribute TO Woman.

The following is from the editorial
columns of the East Oregenian:
Admiral Dewey states positively that
he will not be candidate for the pres
idency under any circumstances. That
settles the Dewey boom for good. The
admiral has destroyed all political am
bition, If he ever had any, by being
married to the ''most charming little
woman in the world" He is to be for
given; other men have sacri feed every
thing for the woman of their choice.
And why shouldn't they? Is there
anything on earth conducive to more
happiness and more entitled to mans
admiration and devotion? To the wo-
man of our choice we all can say with
Shakespeare:
.'Thou, Julia, thou hast metauorphos'd me;
Made me neglect my studies, lose my time,
War with good counsel, set the world at
naught;
Made wit, with musing weak, heartsick with
thought"
Until, in the language of Mar!owe,
we have said to her:
Come live with me, and be my love,
And we will all the pleasures prove
That bills and valleys, dales and fields,
Woods or sleepy mountain yields"
And Dewey, great as he is. is sub
ject to the same influences as other,
lesser, men.
