mauer in Portland Saturday. No particu
lars as to the cause of her death were
given. Having lived in The Dalles for
years and having many warm friends
yet residing here, the cad news will be
received with deep regret in this city.
w. E. Simonton, of Albany, a splen-
did musician and friend OF Rev. Polling,
arrived in the city yesterday. He
favored the audience at the Congrega-
tional church last evening with fine
cornet colo. 1t is to be hoped Mr..
Simonton will be persuaded to remain
in The Dalles, as he would be great
addition to our musical circles.
TIE infant child of Mr.. and Mrs. D.
Morris, died of brain fever yesterday at
the home OF Mrs. Morris parents, Mr..
and Mrs. Davis, in this city, and was
buried today from the United Brethren
church, Rev. Wood conducting the eer-
vice. Mr.. and Mrs. Morris formerly
>sesided here, but are now living at
Sumpter.
Our former Dallesites in Hood River
are letting their light 30 shine that other
residents of that place, who are still
using coal oil, feel like hiding their
| lights under bushel. Friday evening
the business places of Clyde Bonney and
Charles Clarke were lit for the 6rst time
with acetelyne gas, and loomed up in
great style.
Beginning on Wednesday, May Sd,
the steamers of the D. P. & A. N. Co.
will leave. the dock in this city at 8
O'Clock instead of as at present. This
will be good news to those who find it
difficult to get down in time to catch the
boat in the morning. But no doubt
there will be just as many passengers
reach the head of the walk just as the
steamer is pulling out as there are
when it leaves earlier.
The ladies at the west end of Third
street were badly frightened this morn
ing by vicious old tramp, who, because
they refused to feed him, began cursing
and swearing, and at one house where
a lady is sick, almost frightene her into
spasms. The marshal was telephoned
for, but at last accounts had not found
him. After reading in an Oregonian
editorial Saturday how there are at
present 1000 boy tramps in the United
States, one is led to wonder where this
dreadful nuisance will end.
Ernest Jensen, who is an old sailor,
as matter of course would not forget
Dewey day, and the window at Will
liams' store is proof that he has remem-
bered it well. In the center of the
window is the Olympia, floating in the
blood red water of Manila bay, and on
it's bow, with glass in hand, figure rep
resents Dewey. To the right is the
dispatch boat Mccullough, sailing out
in blue waters on the way to Hong Kong,
628 miles distant, to bear the news of
the great victory to the world, which
triumph is today celebrated throughout
the United States. On the flag poles
Ernest has placed brooms, signifying
the clean sweep, while many other
features, among which is large picture
of the hero, shows what genius the
window dresser is in that art.
If anyone has an idea that Dalles
people have forgotten that the old-timG
May day has given place to another
holiday which is to commemorate the
wonderful victory OF one of the greatest
} heroes of the age, and from henceforth
t will be termed "Dewey Day." let them

of our national colors, which indicate
