TWO MONTHS MARRIED And Then II y Winn, a Young We ton Farmer, Deserts His Wife The report came from Weaton, says a Pendleton paper, that some little com ment has been occasioned there by the disappearance of a young farmer named lley Winn. About two months ago . Winn was united in marriage wita Miss Alice James. It seems that the young couple diii not get along very well with Wion's motber, who. whom iney uvea on a ranc i near Dry creek, so he took his wife to a private family to board, lne tory continues that some two weeks aeo Winn lelt Weston ana baa not re turned. - tie was last seen in waua Walla, but his whereabouts is now un known. His young wife was left with an unpaid board bill and absolutely no money for her support. Beforeleaving.lt is reported, mnn induced his wife to sign a deed to his mother for some land which be owned adioinini her oroDertr. saving that as tbev could not get along with her it would be better to use tne money ana bnv an independent place of his own. Instead he is accused of decamping with the proceed and deserting his wife, to whom he afterward sent a third party, suaeeatina that a divorce should he arranged. Lawyers were consulted by friend i of the deserted wife, and if possible legal relief will be obtained in her behalf, The validity of the sale made by Winn to hi mother is questioned. TAKEN TO TASK. Chairman Pierce's Letter to the dleton Triburu. Pen, Tberenort riven by the Pendleton Tribune, of the recent meeting of the populist central committee, dots not seem to set well with the members of that party. It appears from the follow ing letter to tbe Tribune, that the paper in its reoort. somewhat exaggerated end added color : Editor Tribune : In your recent report of the transactions of the county central committee of the people's party, which assembled in Pendleton January 8, you make use, in your daily edition of Jan uary 9, of such expressions as tbe fol lowing: "They were in a heated discussion from 10 o'clock in the morning until in the afternoon." "It Is said that the populists will not suDPort any silver democrat nor body of silver democrats that are led by J. H. Raley." "James II. Ralev to be knifed." "A. S. Bennett, of The Dalles, is to set no support whatever from tbe Uma tilla county pops." "W. S. Wren, of Milwaukie. was not liked for his conduct at tbe legislature" etc The undersigned chairman of the central committee above referred to was present, preeided at the meeting which you appear to report and desires to sub mit the following corrections for publi cation in the Tribune: First, There was no "heated discus sion" at any period during tbe session of the committee. Second, Tbe whole session of the com mittee was a most pleasant and har monious one. Third, The name of Jamea II. Raley was not mentioned at said meeting acd no sentiments were expressed there which could possibly be taken as an intimation that Mr. Raley or anyone else was to be "knifed." Fourth, Tbe names of A. 8. Bennett and W, S. Wren were not, to the best of my recollection, mentioned at said meet ing, nor can I remember any allusion to them being made. Fifth, Aa the official chairman pre siding at said meeting, and vested with the authority to speak for the people's party oi mis county, ana aeeinug a co operation of all reform forces in our next election, I will say that it may be taken for granted, without argument, that the candidates formally advanced by the people of tbe democratic and silver republican parties for such offices as may be agreed upon, in conference, will be supported by the people's party or ganization with the - same firmness which has characterised this party in the past. Finally, We wish to say that all of your published statements fa your edi tions of January 9 and 12, except the resolutions adopted by our own com mittee, are wholy discordant with tne facts which actually took place at said meeting.

Thejaat three days of the circuit court have been de voted to the case of the Weston Bank vs Frank Baling, I. E. Baling and P. A. Worthiogton. This is the third suit of the kind. The flint was won by tbe bank, the second had a hung jury and the third is in progress. Between forty and fifty witnesses are in attendance, and nearly all coma from Weston. The amount involved i about 95,000, and the contest it to prove that I. E. Sallog was a member of the firm known as I. E. Baling & Co , of Weston, at the time the bank acquired the indebtedness. Tbo case will probably go to jury Thursday. Pendleton was thoroughly startled Wednesday morning by the report that a cloudburst out at Helix bad washed that hamlet away with some loss of life, snd one of the local papers wasted a column- of sensational matter over the occurrence. An investigation of the af fair proved it to be a hoax, gotten up by some practical joker. The attempt made to organise a society of the Sons of tbe American Revolution Monday night has not met with any marked success, owing mainly to an ob jectionable speech made by Colonel An deraou, of Vancouver. His remarks dealt mainly with tbe principles of tbe republican party, and included a sweep ing condemnation of all holding different views. Of the aims of the society he said nothing but his arguments favoring a gold standard and a protective tariff filled nearly an hour of time, and were offensive to the many popocrata present. The address of Mr. Williams was elo quent and patriotic, and did much to ward counteracting the bad effecte of Anderson's. Still it is doubtful it a branch of the society can be organized here, because it i now generally regarded aa a political and not a patriotic organi sation .

A large number have already left for the frozen north by steamer from Portland, and several parties are outfit ting for an overland trip from Spokane. About thirty persons have already stated their intentions of starting in the spring, going either on fiot end shipping sup plies ahead, or taking a pack train. Tbe route most approved is from Spokane al most straight north a distance of about 2000 miles over the old Hudson Bay Company's trail. This route has two marked advantages' Ths first is that supplies can be sent ahead to the navi gable part of the McKenzie river, there by eliminating the necessity of packers for the first 1000 miles, and the second is that all along tbe route from Edminton to Dawson are British forts, trading sta tions and mounted police encampments, thus furnishing an opportunity to re plenish supplies in esse of "over con adinpiion." Thia also brings them di rect to Dawaon and avoids the difficulties of the Chilcoot pass and Yukon naviga tion, considerably reducing the expense and shortening the time necessary to make the trip. Politics here are badly mixed and it requires a shrewd man to know just what party or end of party he belongs to. We have Mitchell republicans and Cor bett republicans, silver democrats snd gold democrats, fusion populists and anti-fusion populists. Rumors are rife. Considerable talk is heard of a combine between Mitchell republicans and a por tion of the free silver democracy, and it is believed that this tale is the basis of the objection many populists have to Raley as a leader in case of fusion by some, and others claim the talk against Raley was instigated by certain demo crats who want to oust him from the leadership. The matter will undoubt edly be patched up before the conven tions meet. In the republican party there is war and the breaking of bonds. Both factions claim the "nuremacy and both will attempt to vonlrol the conven tion. That means trouble, but the Mit chell republicans refer to the fate of the opposiiiou two years ago when the gold men had to sneak into the convention on proxies and claim that the same thing will happen this year. On the other hand the gold republicans talk of put ting a com pie to ticket in the field and take their chances. AGE OF SUPERSTITION. A Great Difference Between Three Cen. turiea Ago and Now. (Pendleton Republican ; A few centuries ago thoso who prac ticed the art of healing and performed even the most common Eurgical oper ations, were looked upon with a cer tain degree of suspicion, as though, perhaps, tbey obtained their piwers in that line from some supernatural source. Much of that mysticism still clings to the medical profosehn. Doc tors and surgeons generally seem to have a reticence against making their abilities known in any other than the ordinary manner. But a great change has been going on recently, more par ticularly in the last quarter of a cen tury. In this age of free thought, free speech and free action, a diploma from some second or third rate medical college is not enough to give a patient confidence in tbe ability of a young doctor ot medi cine. Nothing short of practical experi ence will do that. Tbe successful phy sician snd surgeop will establish his reputation by curing his patients. He will not be afraid toadvertise his ability to cure, for he has confidence in his powerf , knows what he can do, and Im parts Li confidence to those who call to take advantage of knowledge and ex perience. Tbe old time physicians and surgeons are slow to realize why the up-to-date physicians, who advertise, are meeting with such success, but It is Elain to the general public. Advertising rings tbe patients and the practice thereby obtained gives an experience which can be obtained in no other man ner. Tbe case of Dr- .Barrio, who is now at Hotel Pendleton, where he will remain until March 1, is strictly in point. He advertises extensively, with the result that he has hundreds of cases where others have one. Dr. Darrin has a reputation established by years of prac tice, during the coarse of which time he has performed many cures, some of which seem almost marvelous and not to be believed, except by those who have consulted Dr. JWrin during the ftast quarter of a century and are today iving examples of the cures he has been able to effect. Column after column of testimonials have appeared, but the tenth part has not been told. One re markable cure he performed for a gentle man now a resident of Pendleton estab lished hi reputation, and he ha been adding to that reputation every, since. The particulars of that case are not al lowed to be published, but it is sufficient to state that the cure was almost mira culous in character. The afllicted should call upsn Dr. Darrin. If the case is hopeless, he will so inform the patient. If he takes the case it is large odds that the patient will be permanently cured or at least re lieved. Remember, Dr. Darrin will be at Hotel Pendleton until March 1. Catarrh in the Head, that trouble some and disgusting disease, may be entirely cured by a thorough course of Hood's Sareaparilla, ths great blood puritser, Hood's Pills cure nausea, sick head ache, indigestion, biliousness.
