The following advices from the Orient have been received by the steamer Empress of Japan: ' The situation is becoming more complicated since the arrival of Viceroy Lui Kun Yih, Li Hung Chang's greatest enemy and head of the Human faction. The firdt evidence of Lui Kun Yih is the is suing of a decree condemning Ad mirals Ting, Kung. and Taotai to death, and all other officers in com mand of divisions yet alive who showed cowardice: before, after, or during the battle. By this sweep ing decree none of the admirals or generals escape. The deoree 6tatea that as they are responsible for ne cessary tall at Port 'Arthur death must be their penalty. 1 Officers have been gent after Ad miral Kung with instructions to bring him back alive or leave his dead body tn the vultures. Kung will surely be taken. He is in hi ding at Yan Chow. Kung is a brother of the Chinese minister to England, and up to a recent date under Li Hung Chang ' was a very powerful politician at court. Lui has selected Kung for his spe cial revenge on occount of his en mity to Li Hung Gang. Lord Li another impeached admiral is in hiding and is in communication with Kung Government spies have reported these facts to the author ises SO that his can turn ia certain. Admiral Ting ia locked up with his fleet at Wei Hai Wei. It is said if he learns of his fate he will cheat the executor as he is extrem ely proud and will not live to sat-. lsiy the hatred ot his old enemy Lui. Editor Boyd-' and "Councilmeh Jones discussing the , water works proposition. . ' . ; , : v . .The Town Dwindled. The First National bank of An. acortes, which ' closed its doors 1 hul'sday, was the1 only' bank in that city. E.. W... Andrews, ofbeattle, was president: T". ,W. Hawkins cashier. The capital stock was $50,000. R. W. Anrl. rews,. president of the defunct bank ana ot the beattle JNational bank, said the cause5 of the failure was the decrease in business and the small number of deposits in the bank. He said that the population ofthe towh had dwindled down to a few hundred, and the only time there was any business done was during the few months ' following harvesting. He Mated " that the bank was , just struggling ! along, and the directors thoueht it best to close it up. "Lick Her Into Shape." A yriter of some repute. Robert Hamilton, produced the fellowing; "No, sir; I am for peace and al ways hev been. That's my rule to hum an' abroad. I left one , wom an who would fight, an another run away with a feller frurn down the mountain, but now I hev a wife that don't say a word when : I tell her what's what, and we git a long; but I'd give up a great deal fef peace, fer I'm that kind of a man, an' besides, she hez a tumble temper, an' it's better ter give her her own way most of the time fer she's a good cook. My idee is thet if a woman's tryin' to run things too much, an' she's too big an' bra wny fer ye to lick her into shape, ye hed better give up right thar, an' clear out an' git another; thar's plenty, but I must hev peace." Little Child Drowned. H. 8. Brock, living below Milton had the misfortune last Saturday to lose his one-year-old child by drowning. Brock had been at work around his . home when he started across a stream in the im mediate vicinity, his little child following unknown to him. A smalt foot plank is the means of crossing this stream and the child fell from it into the water. The child was taken from the water as soon as possible, but though every means was used to resuscitate it, it.could not be revived. Milton Eagle.. ... : Want But One County. A remonstrance protesting against the passage of an act to divide Umatilla county is being generally signed, says the Pendleton Tribune. It is addressed to the Oregon legis lature and states Beveral explicit reasons why the county should riot be divided. "In the minds of those who oppose division, there is no necessity of forming another coun ty from one that is traversed by railroads, and whose county seat is accessible from all directions. A population of 14,000 is scarcely sufficient to sustain one county, and the formation of a second would In crease, the burden of -taxpayers, and be of no general benefit to the the majority of citizens of this lo cality." We understand that Adams peo ple will circulate a remonstrance and it is unnecessary to say that Athena will have one with a mul titude of signers. " , PROPOSED STARGH" FACTORY. Spargur Ditch Company to Experi ment With Potato Raising. : Judge J. W. Spargur, ofthe Spar gur Ditch Company, said to a re porter of the East Oregonian con cerning the canal being construct ed:' ' f "We have already completed nearly three miles of the ditch and have 60 day yet in which to work before stopping for the putting in of crops. These three miles repre sent more time and labor than all the remainder, as henceforth we have only sand to go through and can work rapidly. Twenty horses and thirteen to fifteen men are kept busy every day. Water is di verted at a point 500 feet above the mouth of Butter creek in the Umatilla river. Upon completion of the work to be done this season, two months hence, we will have 2000 acres under water, but when finished, the ditch is to cover1 at least 10,000 acres of soil which we regard as capable of raising any thing grown in this section. One feature of the enterprise will be ex perimental this season. We pro pose to put ii 100 acres of potatoes and cultivate them carefully, to demonstrate if possible the capabil ities of this soil for producing this crop. Potatoes are valuable as feed for hogs and also for making a grade of starch used extensively. In case we can successfully raise potatoes, it is likely we will put in a starch factory such as are in op eration all through the East, fur nishing a good local market for po tatoes at a good price to the prod ucer. This enterprise is conditioned wholly on the degree of success we meet in raising potatoes. It will be a valuable addition to the local industries of this country." The Spargurs are carrying on their ditch enterprise without bond ing, and when completed it will be their own property with no indebt edneps hanging nvr it. This is the man who . claims he introduced cartoons in Eastern Oregon. An Army Post for Tacoma. . Congressman Doolittle has sent a telegram to the Tacoma Chamber of Commerce announcing that he has introduced a bill in congress to give Tacoma a military post. The Tacomans are now looking about for 640 acres to donate to the gove rnment for that purpose. Spokane's action it is said has set a bad ex ample. Congressman Doolittle'a bill it is thought will injure Spok ane's chances for a post. There is good reason for the pop ularity of Chamberlain's Cough Ilemedy. Davis & Buzard, of We6t Monterey, Clarion Co., Pa., say: ''It has cured people that our physicians could do nothing for We persuaded them to try a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy ana they now recommend it with the rest of us." 25 and 50 cent bottles for sale by Osburri, Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder AwartM GoU Medal Hidvriatcr Fair, Sa FruwUco. THE DEAD BURIED. Sad Spectacle at 'he Funeral of the ' ... ... Butte Firemen. Never in the history of Montana has there been a sadder spectacle than that witnessed on January 18. when the bodies of 30 victims of the terrible disaster of Tuesday were consigned to their last resting place. All business was suspended for the day. The military, with muffled drumSt the civic societies and all the fire departments of the state marched in the procession. All 'buildings were draped in mourning. Ten thousand people followed the dead to the cemetery and thousands lined the streets. Nine hearses contained the bodies ofthe dead firemen. One hearsa contained the bits and ishreds of humanity over which wept the widow and orphans of brave Fire Marshal Cameron. Behind the dead firemen rode James Flannery, the sole survivor of the crew. Eight unclaimed bodies were buried by the relief committee. Several parts of bodies were found . on that day half a mile from the scene of the explosion. Hour after hour the disaster has been putting on more distressing proportions.- The .real weight and extent of the terriblsi calamity will never be known. The list of the known dead has swelled to 53, and there are at least four in the hospitals who cannot recover, John Sloan, Charles Ashton, W. L. Miles and William Bow. Others were fatally injured. To the list of missing Charles Hoffbauer has been added. A few hours before the ex plosion he was up town and pur chased a new pair of shoes, and on his way home he evidently stopped at the fire. One of the new shoes which he had under his arm, has been found a quarter of a mile away from the scene of the catas trophe, but not a fragment of Hoff bauer has been fonnd. "bonny, what do you want?" "I want you to send 5 ctp. worth of meat home!" Potato Yeast. Peel 7 or 8 large potatoes. Put them on in cold water and let them boil till nearly done; take them out and mash to a paste; pour to them 3 pints of boiling water and 1 . tea cupful of hops and let it boil down to 1 quart. Strain and sweeten with 1 teacupful of granulated su gar, and put in 1 tablespoonful of yeast while it is milk-warm. Let it work about three hours; put back the foam and stop your bottle tight. It is then fit for use and must be kept in a cool place. One tablespoonful of yeast must be put to one quart of flour. For Bummer, a liquid yeast must be made at least once" a week, unless you use yeast cakes, which will keep indefi nitely if properly made and kept in a dry airy situation. Carlton Corn well, foreman ofthe Gazette, Middletown, N. J., be lieves that Chamberlain's Cough Remedy should be in every home. He used it for a cold and it effect ed a speedy cure. He says: "It is indeed a grand remedy, I can recommend to all. I ha ve also seen it used for whooping cough, with the best result." 25&50 cent bottles for sale by Osburn. FROM FARAWAY HAWAII. An Ex-Walla Wallaln Has Charge Of Government Training School. Mr. E. L. Brunton, superintend ent of the county schools, has given us a paper entitled, "The Pacific Teacher," and published at Hono lulu, Hawaii. Mr.M. L. Dumas is editor of this publication. This gentleman was at one time a resi dent of Walla -Walla, leaving here three years ago to go to his present field of labor, says the Statesman. Besides publishing thu, educa tional -journal, Mr. Dumas has charge of the government training fcchool for teachers at Honolulu. In speaking of his little paper, he makes the following statement: "The typographical work of this paper was done by Kamehameha school boys of from ten to fourteen years of age. If our printer could have had the services of sixth in stead of first year boys, you would have seen our first issue some time go." . The paper is a six-page sheet, ten and a half by seven and a half inches and typographically is a neat, clean publication. TEACHERS' SALARIES. Voluntary Action by the Public School Faculty Ten Per Cent Cut. J The following communication has been sent to the school board of District No. 16, Pendleton and the action of the teachers, in thus voluntaily taking a reduction in salaries will reflect credit for un selfishness and concern for the in terests of the schools of that city: i " Pendleton, Jan. 18, 1895. To the Board of Directors of the Tendleton Public. Schools: We, the teachers of the Pendleton pub lic schools, recognizing that the time for voting a tax for the main tenance of our schools during the coming year is near at hand and realizing that there is opposition to the tax and that the principal argument of the opposition is that the teachers are too high for . the hard times, do hereby request the board of directors to cut our sal aries ten per cent during the re -maining spring term. ; We consider a ten per cent cut more than could be asked " of us from the fact that we are compelled to take warrants in payment of our salaries which must be dis counted ten per cent for cash, so that it is evident that it amounts to about twenty per cent of our wages. But we as teachers are willing to sacrifice largely for Pen dleton, its children and its schools, aud shall be willing at all times to do our part toward the advance ment of our schools and sincerely hope that the patrons of the Bchool will do theirs.
