Mrs. Stabling had many visitors last
evening to see the "flower of the gods."
It was found to be a large, white- flower
of very delicate appearance and with a
strange but pleasant perfume. ' The
flower was as curious as the plant which
bore it. This was a cactus plant; an
African variety. 'It had no foliage, but
is a rope-like vine, covered ' with barbs.
It will have other flowers at various
times throughout the year. The one
which opened last evening closed late
this morning and is dead. There will be
amother in a few days judging from the
bad. . It takes a bud nearly a year to
mature. The plant is a very curious
one.. It resembles a snake in appear
ance, and the buds look something like
a serpent's head. The flowers, how
ever, have a rare and surprising beauty.

Question the Troth.
In a recent issue of the 'East Orego
nian appeared an item in which two
ladies, Mrs. H. C. Lewis and Miss Bay
Bobbins, asserted that they had been
robbed of $168, the proceeds of a lecture
they alleged they gave in Baker City.
The ladies stated to the East Oregonlan
as follows: "Their misfortune was
caused by some alleged thief who robbed
them of $168 cash, which the ladies had
as door receipts for a lecture they gave
in Baker City. They came from the
opera house in the evening with the
money in a sack, when some one in the
darkness snatched the sack, leaving
them almost without fends. They came
on to Pendleton, where they expected to
give an entertainment similar to that
given in Baker City, but here received
word that caused them to go on to Port
land on the Friday, evening train. Ef
forts to apprehend, the thief whom the
women allege stoletheir money at Baker
City, were unavailing."
In answer to the statement of the
ladies, the Baker City Democrat replies :
"The women referred to were in Baker
City last week. Mrs. Lewis gave a lec
ture at the opera house and her subject
was : 'A Theory in Tatters.' Her an
dience was a slim one and the receipts
were more likely $1.68 than $168.00. So
small, indeed, that Mrs. Lewis very
probably borrowed the funds necessary
to pay her expenses.. How she could
have been robbed and no one here being
advised of it, is strange'." '
Examination Papers mt St. Mary's.
The examination papers Ot the classes
at St. Mary's academy have been on ex
hibition since Saturday. A perusal of
them well repays the effort, and two or
three hours of time may be thus pleas
urably spent. The papers are prepared
by pupils ranging in age from 7 to 17
years and cover many branches of study,
A general peculiarity of them all is the
pen or pencil drawings that adorn most
of the papers, many of them revealing
considerable artistic merit. .The compo
sitions are on all sorts of subjects, and
are generally illustrated. ' A compos!
tion by Miss Ada Smith, gives, in true
repertorial style, an account of the exer
cises at St. Mary's academy on St. Pat
rick's day, the 17th of March last. An
other one is an' account of Hugh Gour-
lay'a ' lecture in the Baptist church, a
very edifying report. - May Johnson, a
little girl of 7 or 8 years, tells of how she
did a washing, picturing the tub, wash
board, soap, etc., with marvelous fidelity.
Anna Brogan. another iittle girl, gave
the life history of a potato, showing the
vine in its natural growth. The art
work Is most attractive and rivets the
attention of the visitor to the last. " Miss
Lena and Eva Rhea and Miss Effie
Wakefield seem to be natural-born ar
tists. The Misses Bhea excel on ani
mal life. ' The picture of "Pharaoh's
Horses' is almost animate. A 'crayon
drawing of a brother is also remarkably
life like. ' Of Miss Wakefield's pen
drawings, the salmon is perhaps the
best. . ... ' '
.There are also papers on musical com
position. The best in thorough bass are
by Misses Ada Smith and Katie Brogan
who are each marked 100 per cent. :
- Numerous oil paintings are shown,
which have been executed by the pupils.
The' cactus, by a girl of 14 years, is
worthy of a master. Instructions in
fancy work is also shown by the display
of artificial flowers, crocheting and fancy
sewing which numerously abound. The
morning glories are very naturally done,
as are also the bouquets of roses in
vases. " . '
. An Englishman's View.
A well-known Englishman writes to a
friend in this country: "Your entire
financial difficulty is in this : You can
not maintain a sufficient balance of ex
ports over imports to pay the three
hundred million dollars which you re
quire to meet : first, the interest on your
foreign loans; second, the enormous ex
penditure of your tourists and residents
in Europe; third the freights you pay to
British ships. This is a difficulty not at
all confined to your community ; it is to.
day the case of all debtor communities.'
New K. of V. Hall Fixed Up.
The workmen have finished the in
terior of K. of P. hall and work com
menced this morning on the furnish
ings. The Lodge have expended over
$1,000 for furniture and hangings and
their equipment' is elegant and com
plete. The presiding's officer's chair is
a beautiful specimen of workmanship in
carved oak, of which the other .official
chairs, thongh smaller, are prototypes.
The. altars or stations are of polished
oak, antique finish. . There are a host of
chairs for members, all alike, bat of
handsome and uncommon design, high
backed and strongly made. The cano
pies are of French cashmere, of varied
colors, and are Bimply beautiful. A
Hardman piano, ..from the , Jacobsen
Book & Music Co., was placed in the
hall this morning.
Crime of an Indian.
An Indian stole $25 from Mr. W. N.
West, the butcher at Hood Biver, yes
terday morning. Mr. West laid his
money sack, a leather one, containing
$25 in gold on his meat block. He for
got it for a few moments and left the
shop, when it was taken by the Indian.
The siwash went immediately to camp,
where he was followed by Officer Olinger.
The sack was. found on his person, as
well as the money which was tied in the
corner of a handkerchief. He was very
much ashamed of himself upon being
apprehended. Indians seldom steal and
the temptation in his case must have
been great. . If he bad been a practiced
villain be would have thrown away the
purse. - Mr. Olinger brought him to The
Dalles on the local yesterday, and he
was tried this morning before Justice
Davis.
Tfie Price on Farm wagons Has Dropped;
- That is, the price on some wagons has fallen below our price on "OLD
HICKO BY" Wagons. Why? Because no other wagon on the market will sell
alongside of the "OLD HICKORY" at the same prices. It is the best ironed.
best painted and lightest running, and we guarantee every bit of material in it to
be strictly first-clrss.- If you want the CHEAPEST Wagon on the market, we
haven't got it ; but we have got the BEST, and solicit comparison. . 1

A settlement has been effected with
the McCoy ditch laborers for 50 cents cn
the dollar. The morning was spent in
attending to the men's papers, and the
t sheriff's office presented a busy scene
throughout the forenoon. . The sheriff
took the afternoon train for Portland,
where, it is supposed, he will get the
money necessary to pay the men half
what is due them, returning with it to
morrow. This will be accepted by the '
men in full for their claims.
A larger number of citizens than usual
listened to the beautiful concert by The
Dalles band yesterday afternoon. The
overture "Poet and Peasant," is very
melodious and was faultlessly inter
preted by a full complement of instru
ments. The other selections were
scarcely leeB beautiful and the audience
was very attentive throughout the whole
hour of the concert. The placing of
seats is a great improvement and tends '
to increase the attendance.
. One of the ancient philosophers said
that one man would sow and another

Major Magone fouud a lake away up in
the mountains that had been formed by
a landslide across a deep canyon. He
caught a few thousand little fish from
the river and tributary streams and car
ried them in pails across the desert and
stocked the lake. Now the gallant' '
Major is not there and people go from all
parts of the country and catch loads of
fine fish from his lake.
There is no market for wool. Buyer
are here, but are making no offers.
There is no demand for it. Boston is -so
overstocked already with the raw.
product that there lb difficulty in finding'
places to store it. Manufactories are
closed. A good deal of English cloth is
being purchased in the centers of trade.
There is a congestion in the wool trade
which will increase with time until
great financial trouble ensues, unless
there Is some remedial legislation soon.
