ANOTHER PIONEER GONE.
A. NJ. Walker Passes Peacefully Ava

A. M. Walker Passes Peacefully Away
on Saturday Afternoon.
On Saturday afternoon at about o
o'clock Oregon lost one of its old and
respected pioneers.
Arthur M. Walker was born in Illi-
nois about IS years and 2 months ago,
and came to Oregon in the early fifties
settling in the Willamette valley.
He served in the Rogue River Indian
war under Captain Joseph Blakeley,
father of George Blakeley of this city:
and shortly afterwards came to East
ern Oregon and has made his home in
this vicinity ever since.
He was a sincere christian and has
been a minister in the Methodist
church for over so years. He was
married twice his first wife having
died about 40 years ago. He was mar
ried seconG time in The Dalles in
1873 and his second wife survives him.
His married life was blessed with but
one child son who has since died.
His funeral was held from the Meth
odist church Monday after noon and
was attended by a large number OF his
old friends and members of the con-
gregation. Rey. Wood preached an
appropriate funeral sermon in which
he spoke at length on the pious life
and good works of the deceased, after
which the remains were layed away
in the Odd Fellows cemetery with the
honors he so justly merited.

High Schools.

The various high school bills before
the Oregon legislature have again
brought to public attention the ques-
tion as to whether the rich or the poor
furnish the greater number of students
for the public high schools. Last
week Supt. GAVIN made the following
response to inquiries concerning the
present state OF affairs at The Dalles:
THE DALLES HIGH SCHOOL.

sisting of non-residents of county

The "a pupils from WascG county
represent 83 different families.
The following figures are taken from
the last assessment roll 1.-THE one on
which taxes will be collected in March
'99.) and full allowances are made for
all assessments made to the name of

such facts are known to the assessor.

This trial will take probably a week
to try and judging from the interest
already shown the courtroom will be
packed with spectators during the
trial.
Harry c. Liebe received letter
from Rev. W. c. Curtis, formerly pas
tor OF the Congregational church OF
this city, today. Rev. Curtis is at pres
ent in Norwalk, Connecticut. aud is as
much of an enthusiast over Indian
relics as ever. He sent Harry num-
ber o: arrowheads all the way from the
east to mount, knowing that no one
could excel him in this class of work.
He states that it is his intention to ex-
hibit his entire collection of Indian
relics consisting of Indian baskets. ar
rowheads, bowls and other curios be-
fore the ladies club at Norwalk on the
oath of this month. AS he has an un-
usually fine collection it will be rich
treat for the people of the east to see
so many relics from distant Oregon.
Robert Gutherie is in the city from
Shei man county. His accounts of the
condition of stock in that section are
none too flattering He says if the
present mild weather continues stock
men will pull through all right as
their losses so far have not been com
paritively heavy, but if another storm
comes they will be almost certain to
lose as hay is nearly all fed out and
cannot be purchased at any price.
Reports from Grant and Harney coun-
ties are equally discouraging and one
party, who poses as an authority de-
clares.ttet at least 200, 900 head of range
horses will die during the present
winter in Eastern Oregon. This is
probably an exaggeration as the
spring round up will prove.
Late yesterday afternoon the ice in
the Columbia broke opposite this city
and began to move around at a lively |
rate. For time it was feared that ]
much damage would result from the
large field of ice coming in contract
with the boats. The Regulator was |
lifted by the ice towards the beach |
but not injured. During the night the !
river rose about four inches so that at |
present the boat is com mparatively safe !

A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

MIR. and Mrs. Ryan Thrown From q Vehicle
and Seriously Injured.
A very serious accident occurred on
the three mile hill yesterday afternoon
about o'clock, and it was only sheer
good luck that Mr. and Mrs. J. Ryan,
of five mile escaped with their lives.
They were driving home from The
Dalles in light buggie when going
up the hill On the other side of three
mile on what is known as the Benson
road they met the RakeoYen stage
oming down. At this place there are
two roads one several feet below the
other. Both teams were on the upper
road and when the stage was passing
Mr.. Ryan's team, the wind plew the
curtains so that the horses became
frightened and leaped over the bank
to the road below throwing Mr.. Ryan
with considerable force down the side
hill. against wire fence, while his
wife was thrown over the shboard of
the buggie and under the horses feet
severely injuring her.
The stage-driver Immediately stop
ped and ran to their assistance. 1t
was found that Mr.. Ryan escaped with
a few bruises, while bis wife was in a
critical condition. She was taken to
the home of her son-iD-law Mr..
Darnille, of this city and DR.: Belle
Rinehart called to attend to her in
juries.
It was found that three ribs were
broken close to the spinal column
and her collar bone was fractared.
AS yet it is impossible to tell if she
is injured internally. She rested fair
ly wall last night and appears to be
on fair way to recovery.

E. C. Edwards, of Arlington, is in

six hundred tons of hay which he will
ship to Arlington in the near future.
As hay is very scarce in the country
south of that place he will be In
position to demand handsome figure
for the same aud the venture will Ger.
tainly prove profitable one.
Less fear for the safety of the boats
which are hemmed in by the ice at
this place is felt today, since it is be-
ginning to break on the Washington
eide of the river. If this state of affairs
continue the boats will not be in any
danger. II the ice comes down in any
great amount from parts up the river
before it breaks here. however, some
trouble may be experienced.

A Most Fortunate Accident.

What have resulted in a most dis
astrous railroad accident was averted
by chance on the o. r. & N. line at
the crossing of Deschutes river last
night. Train No. 4. going to Spokane
vas passing over the bridge across
Deschutes when one of the trunks un.
der the smoking car jumped the track,
the fiange on one of the wheels having
broken entirely off. Fortunately the
train was going very slowly, else every
car would haye gone off the track into
the river. and it would have been a
mere accident if any of the large num-
Der of passengers escaped alive.
The accident was one of those un
accountable occurrences that cannot
be accounted for, as the car wheels had
all been inspected at Portland before
starting, and also here before leaving
the yards. While the accident was
not serious. it caused delay of about
fifteen hours, it being very difficult to
get at the disabled car to put on a new
wheel, though no one was injured
except by the jostle that was given the
in the smoking car when
the truck went off the track.

aches, tickle appetite, nervousness and
a general played out, languid feeling.
There is often a foul taste in the
mouth, coated tongue and if the in
terror of the stomach could be seen it
would show a slimy, ,inf1amed condition.
The cure of this common and obsti-
nate trouble is found in a treatment
which causes the food to be readily,
thoroughly digested before it has time
to ferment and frritate the delicate
mocus surfaces of the stomach. To
secure prompt and healthy digestion
is the one necessary thing to do and
when normal digestion is secured the
catarrhal condition will have disap-
peared.
According to DR.. Harlanson the
safest and best treatment is to use
ers zach meal tablet, composed of
diatase, aspeptic pepsin, little nux,
golden seal and fruit acids. These
tablets can now be found at all drug
stores under the name of Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets and not heing a patent
medicine can be used with perfect
safety and assurance that healthy ap-
petite and thorough digestion will fol-
low their regular use after meals.
Mr.. N. j. Booher of 2710 Dearborn
Street; Chicago, ILL.,, writes: "Catarrh
is local condition resulting from a
neglected cold in the head, whereby
the membrane of the nose becomes in
famed and the poisonous discharge
therefrom passing backward into the
throat reaches the stomach, thus pro.
ducing catarrh of the stomach. Medi-
cal authorities prescribed for me for
three years for catarrh of the stomach
without cure, but today am the haF-
piest of men after using only one box
Of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. I can
not find appropriate words to express
my good feeling. l have found flesh,
appetite and sound rest from their use. :"
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the
safest preparation as well as the simp-
lest and most convenient remedy for
any form of indigestion, catarrh of the
stomach, billiousness, sour stomach,
heartburn and bloating after meals.
