The little 8-year-old boy of Mr. Dan Daffron, car inspector at Umatilla, was run over by the cars about 8 o'clock last evening at Umatilla and was Killed The accident could not have been avert ed, for no one knew of it until some of the trainmen came upon the poor little fellow's bleeding body. His leg had been cut off diagonally following its conjunc tion with the body. He was alive when found, and lived for about' six houra.

Some time ago the editor of the Mis souri auditor, published at Columbia, Mo., wrote to Mr. Charles A. Dana, edit or of the New York bun, asking for a short list of books valuable ior country editors. Mr. Dana'a reply waa pub lished in The Missouri Editor for March, 1896: New York, Feb. 26, 1896. Dear S!r: I enclose a little list of books w hich eeeni to be indispensable, not merely to country editors, but to every person of American origin. lours sincerely, Walter Williams. C. A. Dana. The Bible. The Declaration of Independence. The Constitution of the United States. Bancroft's History of the United States McCIure's Life of Lincoln (partially published.) Irving's Life of Washington. Franklin's Autobiography. Channing's Essay on Napoleon Bona parte. Gibbon's Decline and Fall of the Ro man Empire. Shakespeare. The Wheat Trade. The market shows no change either for the better or worse, says the Com mercial Review. A few small parcels of wheat have changed hands. The gen eral disposition of holders is against marketing at present, many believing that there will be a more favorable mar ket during the coming month. The slow selling movement has no disturbing ef fects upon exporters, who are entirely indifferent whether they buy - or not. Nearly all business on band ia cleaned up, and future shipments depend upon foreign values and local freights; when such a combination of conditions per mitting a profitable business is brought about, exporters can float cargoes, but at the moment shipping can be done only at a loss. 'THE CONFEDERATE SPY." The riot ot the Interesting Flay Briefly Belated. The following is tbe story of "The Confederate Spy," which will be pro duced at the Baldwin opera house to night: George Waterman, a Northerner,meets a Southern belle with whom he falls in love. She reciprocates his devotion, but the two are separated in sentiment by a gulf which appears Insurmountable His sympathies are strong for the North and he enlists, while the girl ia an ardent devotee of the Southern cause, She has a brother who is a Confederate spy. He ia captured and condemned to death, and the Northern lover is captain of the guard. When the guard discov ers tbe relationship of his prisoner and tbe girl whem he loves a plan is made to save bis life by substituting the body of a dead soldier for the spy.. The spy is then required to sign a parole. The plan is successful and the spy goes to the North, where he remains until the close of the war. Waterman, however, ia discovered, and ia himself sentenced to death. He escapes the guard, and his love for the cause prompts him to again engage in battle. In the struggle with Ainsley, a Confederate, Gen. Banks is wounded and Waterman ren ders him such valuable assistance that he obtains a reprieve for himself and the spy, who in tbe meantime has been discovered and placed under guard. Waterman ia himself wounded, how ever. When the lovers next meet it is in the North, at the close of the war, and it doea not take long to facilitate the happy denouement. Following is tbe cast: Geo.

Tbe floor at tbe Baldwin is level, and the audience back of the first five or six rowa of seats have quite an imperfect view of the stage caused by ostrich feathers and ribbon, which adorn the heads of the" fair sex. There is now going on a popular crusade leading to the removal by tbe ladies of their hats during a theatrical perform ance, and many ladies, in tbe larger cities, have endorsed it by removing them. Several ladies removed their hats at "Finnigan's Ball," and the ef fect from a masculine point of view was quite as pleasing as if they kept their ats on, and we know those men i Time- is tely back of them loved them the bettor for doing so, if that is a reason for wearing the hats. On behalf of the public who pay their money to attend a show, and in behalf of the opera -house management, wbo would be better pat ronized if their patrons could be assured of a good view of the stage, we urge that the ladies of Tbe Dallea adopt the sen sible style set at tbe last show and re move their halts. There ia good sense in it ; there ia appreciation for the rights and comfort of others in it ; and there is admiration and gratitude of all, which is always a winning proposition. In Juries By, Insects. A young lady before retiring recently noticed a blow fly on her pillow, and would not go to sleep until she had killed it. The following incidents will excuse her alarm : The Oregonian re cently published a story about a fly de positing eggs in a Bleeping person's nose. Tbe eggs batched and it was with much difficulty life waa saved. An incident capable of the fullest corroboration is that of a lady living near Hood River, in whose ear, about two years ago, a spider deposited eggs. They Boon hatched, and large numbers of infinitesimal spiders commenced crawling out of her ear. This caused her intense pain, and Bhe nearly loaf her hearing. Cases are fre quent of spiders biting children, but be yond a Blight swelling and some pain no harm is done. Ifie largest piece of GOOD tobacco ever sold for io cents. FLAT FEET ARE THE THING. The Long Creek Eagle Bays that Hugh Arbuckle recently found the skeleton of a human being in an alkali lick on the middle fork of tbe John Day, near tbe mouth of Granite creek. While looking after some stock, Mr. Arbuckle waa at tracted to the lick by a peculiar forma tion cauaed by the incessant licking of the animals and the action of tbe ele ments for years past. What appeared to be a knee joint protruding above the surface, led Arbuckle to vigorous efforts, and with the aid of a pick and shovel what proved to be the remains of a white man were Boon unearthed. Notwith standing the fact that they must have lain for many years in this alkali forma tion, the bones were all well preserved. Tonight : "Confederate Spy" Use Wide Shoes and Ton Will Be Able to Walk Erectly. Not more than two men in. 100 walk erectly. This observation comes from a man who is a crank about the benefits of wide, flat shoes, says the New York Press. He declares he has made notes and knowS what he is talking about. He thinks that the "two men in 100" wear the same kind of shoes that he wears, which look like those used for walking- on water. This man also be lieves that the percentage of women who walk straight is so small that it is not worth considering1. The whole trouble he attributes to shoes. lie says men and women were never intended to wear shoes at all. It is his observation that when the foot is flattened out and the toes spread the natural movement of the body ia to straighten itself. This he attributes to certain muscular action, and he has a chart to prove it. When the foot is compressed by a shoe and the toes jammed together there is a sympathetic tension on the whole muscular and nervous system (which draws the body forward or bends it. It has been noted in his calculations that persons in bathing- costume on the beach walk much straighter. It is also a notable) fact that the Indian, who runs barefooted on the plains, has the proud est kind of a walk. He is as straight as an iron pole. Well and Truly Bald. Over the triple doorway of the cathe dral of Milan there are three inscrip tions spanning the splendid arches: Over one is carved a beautiful wreath of roses, and underneath is the legend: All that pleases is but for a moment."
