VOLUME XVI. ATHENA, UMATILLA COUNTY, OREGON, FRIDAY MORNING. FEBRUARY 5, 190. NUMBER 6 ' 1 St: I. ry for Health a 222 South Peoria St., CnicAOO, Oct. 7, 1902. Eight months ago I ?ss so ill that I tu compelled to lie or tit down nearly all the time, if 7 stomach, was go weak and upset that I could keep nothing on it and I vomited frequently. I could not urinate without great pain and I coughed so much that my throat and lungs were raw and sore. The doctors pro nounced it Bright disease and others said it was consumption. It mattered little to me what they called it and I had no de sire to live. A sister visited me from St. Lonis and asked me if I had ever tried Wine of Cardui. I told her I had not and she bought a bottle. I believe that it saved my life. I believe many women could save much suffer ing if they but knew of its value. Don't you want freedom from pain? Take Wine of Cardui and make one supreme effort to be well. You do not need to be a weak, helpless sufferer. You can have a woman's health and do a woman's work in life. Why not secure a bottle of Wine of Cardui from your druggist to day? - OlOBCQUi! PARKER & REITZ'S BARBERSHOP SHAVING HAIR CUTTING SHAMPOOING , AHD 3ATHS CAREFUL WORKMEN, SATISFACTION "tJARANTEED.

Punetal Was Perhaps the Largest Ever Held In -This Place. ngus McDonald, who for two weeks hovered between life and death at the home of his sister, Mrs. II. O. Worth ingtoo, in this city, died at 4:20 o'clock Saturday afternoon. Mr. McDonald had been failing in health since last October Some weeks ago his physician advised that he go to Glenwood Springs, Colorado, in hope that his affliction, Bright's disease, might be cured. Shortly after arrival there symptoms of a bad cold appeared, and the sick man started for home, where he arrived in the grasp of pneu monia, which, in connection with the other complications, soon wore out the already shattered strength of what but a few years ago was perhaps the strongest man, physically, in Umatilla county! . Angus McDonald died as he had lived a brave, God fearing man, with out an enemy, a friend to all, all counted by him as friends. The last hours of his illness were made happy by flights of memory to childhood's days, and the trusting of the care of his soul to his Maker. To Rev. Armfield, who was with him at the end, and to his relatives he gave ample evidence that with him all was well. For years the writer and Angus Mc Donald had been intimate friends, and during all those years not once have we known him to transgress the written and unwritten law that forever stands be tween friends, that bond of friendship, do unto others as you would have them do unto you. This was his life as lived. What more need be said, or, rather, what more can be said? The funeral, which took place Mon day at 11 a. m., was perhaps the largest ever seen in this part of the county. Because of the unfinished condition of the M. E. church, services were con ducted bvRev. W. E. Armfield in the Christian church, that big edifice, in cluding the auditorium, gallery and class room, being completely taxed to its .ut most capacity. Rev." Armfield, from scriptural passages impressed all with death's great lesson, and in sympathetic words paid a high tribute of praise to the departed friend and brother. Stevens Lodge K. of P., of Weston, of which Mr. McDonald was a member, and Pythiau Lodge K. of P., of Athena, attended in a body, and togethei with members from Helix, Pendleton and Milton, and Woodmen of the World, escorted the remains to their last resting place in Kees' cemetery. Born in the Province of Ontario, Canada, August 10, 1850, Angus Mc Donald came to Oregon in 1881, and has resided in Umatilla county continuously since that time. He leaves to mourn th loss of a kind and considerate brother, two sisters, Mrs. II. O. Worth ington, of this city, and Mrs. Spaulding, of Hood River; three brothers, George, of Pullman,- Wash., Harvey and Alex, of Walla Walla. THEATENED TO KILL HER. Mrs- Grace Hudspeth Is Granted a Divorce Prom Her Husband. "Did your husband ever threaten to kill you V asked Attorney Will M. Peterson of the plaintiff. "Yes, sir," was the answer. "One night he got mad at me and threatened to kill me. He got up out of bed, took his knife out of his pant's pocket and began whetting it upon the whetstone. I rushed out of the house and called in the neighbors and they quieted him down." This, says the Tribune, was but a part of the testimony before Judge Ellis in the case of Grace Hudspeth vs. Robert Hudspeth. The plaintiff alleged cruel and inhuman treatment and non support. The court, after hearing the evidence, granted the plaintiff a decree of divorce and the custody of the three minor children as long as she remained unmarried. This was the stipulation of the husband, who did not appear. Will M. Peterson was attorney for plaintiff. COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS. Judges and Clerks for City Election Appointed.

FATHER FINDS HIS J TWO KIDNAPPED GIRLS- Dressed as Boys, Throwing Anxious ' 17-1 nir iv. ir.:i I PVfld Marshal, a tnnmntnr who was for a time employed in Athena, where he hauled rock for the basement of the new Methodist Episcopal church building, after searching three and a half ye irs and spending $3000, his en tire savings, has recovered his two little daughters who were kidnapped from his home at Boise nearly four years ago. He met them accidentally in a store at Pendleton last Fridayand the shock was so great that he reeled and stag gered. The story in one of rough treat ment of the children, and as the father tells of his search tears come to his eyes. Because of threats made by Dan Clif ford, the villain who stole them away, breaking up the family and taking the wife with him, the little ones seem afraid to tell all they know. Bessie said: "As soon as they carried us from home they put us in boy's clothes; they named me Dick and Ruth's name was Tom. We did not like boy's clothes, but we were afraid of the man, who said he would kill us. We were in La Grande, Meacham, Pendleton and Echo, where mother died. The man did not like me as well as he did Ruth, and said when she grew up he would take her away and make her work for him. i "At mother's death the man left Ruth with people in Echo and took me to the mountains above Weiser, where he kept me id a cabin. I had to cook for him. He would get drunk and treat me rough. He told me I never was to mention my father's name, and if 1 did, he said he would kill me. He (old me if father ever saw me he would kill me. "When I saw father in the store I was afraid of him, but I Boon saw that I would not be hurt.' Several months ago I was in Dr. C. J. Smith's office and I saw Grandpa Marshall, but I was afraid to speak out, as the man bad said he would kill me, so I hurried out of the office before I was noticed." Rev. G. W. Rigby, of Pendleton, preached the funeral service of Mrs. Marshall when she died at Echo a year ago last August. , Whon he saw the children he was taken with them, and tried to get them to go to the home of his daughter, Mrs. L. E. Cook, on the reservation, near here. Clifford then disappeared with the girls and went to Weston. Finally , Mr. Rigby located the little ones at W eston, and eventually got them to go to Mr. Cook's. It was not discovered that they were girls until people were caring for them at Echo. Marshall sold his home and htoroes, getting about (9000, and spent that in hunting them. He went to ' several eastern states, bis his wife had relatives in Pennsylvania. He had sheriffs look ing for them throughout the country He would sometimes get a trace of them in Eastern Oregon, but the chew was always of two boys, avnd threw - him off the track. He thought they must be in this section, and that it tne roasc n he came and lived in Pendleton. lVany times in his search he crossed their path but missed them, sometimes by a few minutes. , Last spring he was working: at Freewater, and Clifford was there, but got out before Marshall saw him, STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEE.

ATHENA'S EXHIBIT Pendleton Tribune Critib Praises Athena School Exhibit. Speaking of the Athena public school exhibit which is to go to the World's Fair at St. Louis, a critic in the columns of the Pendleton Tribune says:,, 4 The finest dinplay from Athena are the relief maps drawn and made by . the pupils of the fifth grade. The maps made by tuese pupils uto-'BiKUttii could be made by high school pupils in the great majority of schools. The maps are made from paper pulp and represent " .... - , 1 the physical outlines of the country and its surface. There are in this collection several maps of the state of Oregon labelled, "Where Rolls the Oregon," and are excellent. The mountains are deftly placed, while the rivers are marked with red silk threads, giving the" map a very atti active appearance. There is .especially a map of South America and one of Asia, of which the pupils should be very proud. Con- . sideriog that fifth grade pupils djd the .. Tork the maps are as near perfection as it is possible to attain. Professor Now- '. lin asked Miss Nettie Cannon, the " teacher to furnish some of this work by ' her pupils, although it was a little out of the regular list of material asked for by. the authorities, but will be very acceptable, just the same. Athena sent other papers as well, and all of which were very good. Especially the kindergarten work of the first year pupils. t Also with the display are pic tures of the school, the grades and the instructors, which will add materially to the effect. HAT3 OF IH CHUECH. Castom Is Adopted By Christian; Church in Pendleton. .J Following the agitation begun by this' paper some week ago for the removal of the women's Lata in church, the Christian church has adopted this custom. - . On the wall just to the left of the pulpit is posted a neat, modest placard, "Ladies will please remove their hats." That is all that is necessary. At the opening of the service every hat comr-s off and there is no stretching of pecks and tiptoeing t in the seats to see the r&Smster. It is the first notice of the kind ever pos d In a Tendleton church and ia re garded' 88 a precious document by those who have grown taller by several inches, in reaching" upward to see the man jn the pulpit ov.,r kfl waving plumes ju front. v y If the women Jesuit, this notice wiJi be turned to the w. l tor iUHt c,no 3a3r each year that will J 00 Kustr Pay, when the h hat n, 'VW!,UA M-t- ( iEastOrr- V , 7T;
