At 11:30 o'clock Saturday night the hoarse clang of the fire bell roused our citizens and the fire de partment from their peacful slum bers. When the department arrived on the scene, prepared to do battle, the fire had been put out also much of the excitement. The fire occurred in an upstairs room of Comb's Restaurant, next door west of McKay's saloon,- and Vas started, so it is said by. a candle igniting the clothing on a bed in which two little girls were sleeping. They were awakened and their screams brought immed iate assistance. Several buckets of water, and a feather bed soon put out the flamei The fire laddies were promp on hand. The hose team laid line of hose from the hydrant in front of Hollis's Btore, but no wat er was used on the fire. Had the flames got any headway, it would have been hard, hot work which the boys would have been called on to do, but fortunately the flames were controlled almost in stantly with but little damage done.

'C ' A party of emigrants passed through La Grande last Saturday but stopped there long enough to lay in a stock of provisions suffici ent to last them until they arrived at Walla Walla. They got along first rate until Sunday night when they camped on a creek in the Blue-Mountains just above Walla Walla. They built up a rousing fire and crawled into their wagon to go- to bed. They had been snooz ing but a short time when one of them awoke and found the vagon sheet on fire. - He at once gave the alarm and they had to hurry to save the two children thai were sleeping in the wagon. However, this was done, but the wagon and most of its contents were; badly damaged before the blaze could be extinguished. REMOVAL Of The People's Cash Grocery, Max Lewin Proprietor.

An announcement was made this forenoon which caused intense sur prise and regret to the friends of Judge James A. Fee, of the circuit court of Oregon for this district 8 ays the East Oregonian. It was that he resigned his office forjudge and intended to retire from the bench to enter the field again as a practitioner in the courts. Only a few of his more intimate friends had been apprised of his intentions, The report spread .over the town and the news was the one topic which was discussed by everyone. Judge Fee had said, prior to the last election, that he hesitated about allowing his name again - to be used as a candidate, but finally decided to run. As was expected, he was re-elected, and took the bench, supposedly for another six year's term. But, for private busi ness reasons, ho has come to the conclusion that he prefers to re tire from the bench, and his writ ten resignation was therefore made to the governor. Possessing, as he does, the implicit confidence of every citizen of Eastern Oregon who has ever come in contact with him in private or public relation, his resignation caused intense re gret. His occupancy of the bench has been marked with that high sense of honor which is a perpetual warrant the judicial system will be kept pure and untainted. -He re tires with a record which will al ways be of value to him in future years. ' A SUCCESSOR NOMINATED. As soon as th) announcement was made public, a delegation of attorneys called on Stephen A. Lowell and urged him to allow his name to be forwareded to Governor Lord as a candidate - for appoint ment to succeed Judge Fee, and it soon looked like "Judge Lowell" now. The manner in which the proposal to nominate Mr. Lowell was received must certainly be gratifying to the gentleman. Every member of the bar in the city was warm in support for him for the position, and dozens of prominent citizens volunteered to sign peti tions to the governor. It was not doubted that Mr. Lowell would be Judge Fee's successor. . w Judge Fee's resignation was to take effect immediately, The en dorsement of tho entire-legal prof ession of Pendleton and all the county officers, as well as of repre sentative business men was wired .by Judge Lowell's friends, and sev eral dozen letters were handed in for transmission to Salem. Gov ernor Lord acted promptly in the matter, for at 1:45 this afternoon, Judge Lowell was in receipt of a telegram from Governor Lord say ing that he had been appointed and that he would forward the commission by mail. This will ar rive on tomorrow or Thursday morning, and Judge Lowell will proceed to the court house to be Bworn in by County Clerk Bur roughs. The appointment, under Oregon law, is effected by the com ing general state election, which will be nine months hence. . During the afternoon, there has been a steady stream of callers at the law office of Hailey, Lowell & Butler, and congratulations extend ed to Jude Lowell have come from professional and business men and people of all classes. ' Judge Lowell vyas interviewed by the East Oregonian. The judge was in a smiling mood and grace fully accepted the compliments of the occasion. . In speaking of the appointment, he said: "I do not hesitate to say that the honor conferred on me by the gov enor is highly appreciated. Every one would have preferred that Judge Fee remain on the bench. He is eminently fitted for a judicial posi tion and has honored the courts of the state by his attitude on all oc casions. "The warm support given me by members of my profession and by my other friends has given me deep pleasure. I desire to acknowledge it through your paper." MILTON FRUIT.

Her Name Was Dennis and she's Flown to St. Paul, There is no doubt in any one's mind but that Oakesdale, . Wash ington, is a town that boast? of more sensations than any other in this section of tho country. Even preachers up there have been known to step aside from the righteous path of duty. It's not so long-ago that pretty CassioHel mer, who formerly resided in Wes ton, eloped with a young fellow up there. She found she was in th$ wrong boat and returned to her parents. The very latest at Oakesdalo oc curred Monday when Miss Nellie Dennis left the parental roof that bad sheltered her from the storms of eighteen winters, and took a Northern Pacific train for St. Paul. Hey father is in pursuit. Matt Moegrove was in town Wed nesday. - mw o o 0 o a z3 Vow to the Dead. "If you dio I will sleep by the side of your prave all the rest of my life." This remarkable vow was made fif toen years ago to his Biok wife by Edwio. L. Morrison, at that time chief clerk of the Pennsylvania freight department and a protege of Ralph Peters, the superintendent of the Miami division of the Pennsylvania road. IIo fol lowed his wife's body to the grave, and remained seated beside it until the sex ton, moved to pity by tho constancy of tho man's love, allowed him to sleep in a small tool house near by. And now Edward L. Morrison, once the hand some, debonair railroad man, is old, wrinkled and haggard, but still sits in his rude hut by the side of the tomb of the woman he loved so well. For fif teen years he has kept up this solemn vigil, yet the heart that was torn in twain by poignant grief still beats, ind the old man longs for tho brido of his youth as the cycles of time roll on, Moit of Them Nobloi. According to the newly-issued army list at Berlin there are only two men out of the sixty full generals who are of bourgeois origin, all the others be ing of noblo birth. There are no less than forty-nino regiments where tho corps of officers consists exclusively of aristocrats. This shows that tho aris tocratic element in tho corps of officers in the German army is increasing, the percentage o,f plebeian-bora officers having- greatly diminished since tho death of Emperor William I.
