The postmaster of Weston, L. Van
Winkle, has been compelled by the post
office department to make good the
money which was taken from the Wes
ton branch, some $400, when Mr. Van
Winkle was in the mountains and tbe
postofBce was in charge of his deputy,
George Reynolds.
Mrs. Lucien Parker, of Pleasant Hill,
has been called to Portland by the
Supreme Secretary of the United Arti

through the falling of the John Day
bridge, is. at least $150, and perhaps
much more, says the Fossil Journal, in

paid $3 for toll, and thinks be is enti
tied to $1.50 of that back, as be was
only half way over when the bridge
went down.

The bot wind of yesterday was an east
wind, but came in from tbe west. The
same bot, withering blasts which left
us gasping for breath passed over us in
the upper air a short time before. The
current was deflected upon striking the
mountains west of us, and turned down
ward and in an opDosite direction.
Many people wondered why tbe usually
refreshing breeze from tbe west was so
debilitating. It was an east wind in

Tbe Institute.
The teachers' institute, which began
Monday morning, holds a thirty days'
session, an nnusually long term, since
most institutes are less than a week in
length. The present institute is more
in the nature of a term of school, the
only differences being that the term is
etorter and the teachers are the pupils.
The ordinary text books are used.
Profs. Ackerman and Gavin and
Miss Melissa Hill are the princi
pal instructors, and Supt. Gilbert
has a writing class. Prof. Ackerman is
of the Harrison street school, Portland

The institute is a movement to plan
the means of a wider and more thorough
culture within reach of those who are
prevented by circumstances from at
tending any of our higher institutions of
learning. .
That very many are more than willing
to avail themselves of tbe wise directions
as given in tbe institutes, is proved by tbe
large attendance of the various insti
tutes held in the state.
That much good has been accom
plished is true, but there bas been a
tendency among those directing and
pushing the work of tbe institutes to in
stitute quantity for quality, and there is
no small danger that the result will be
reaction, or at least, indifference on the
part of the teachers who are to be tbe
beneficiaries. ' Such work must be vital
ized, and sustained by more than ordi
nary ability and talent on the part of its
leaders or it is likely to prove popular
only for the moment.
Teachers, especially, need the stimulus
and broader outlook that comes from
well conducted institute work.
The normal schools and universities
provide facilities for those who can af
ford the time and expense, but a larger
part of the present generation of teach
ers cannot avail themselves of the privi
leges theBe agencies offer.
To these no better ' substitute can be
offered than earnest and intelligent in
stitute work. Many of the stronger and
more ambitious may succeed in carry
ing on work by themselves, but the
great majority need the direction and
assistance, and the sense of ' fellowship
that come from organization. "
' Recognizing this need the state has
devised a system of institutes and teach
ers meetings and tbe teacher s duty
thereto is embraced in the following rule
of the state board: ' .
Teachers in the public schools in this
state are required to attend all teachers'
institutes held under authority of law in
the counties where they Teside.'prouided,
that they shall be required to attend the
annual institute in their county each
Mr, John Booth, while riding on a
train a few days ago, engaged in conver
sation with a Catholic priest, who, ac-
according to Booth, lived at Fossil. Tbe
priest, learning he was from The Dalles,
told him of the good fortune of two of its
residents, who fall heir to $30,000,000
each.' An immense property in Iteland,
which bad been in litigation for fifty
years has finally been settled by tbe
courts. Tbe estate comprises a whole
county and is valued at many million
pounds. It is the Roderick O'Neil estate
which tbe priest says is to be divided,
among six O'Neils who will each receive
six million pounds. Two he said lived
in The Dalles, two in Seattle and two in
Sacramento. If the priest's story is true,
the O'Neils of The Dalles meant, may
be Will and John O'Neil. No other
O'Neils are known. , '
Both are now absent from the city and
and their family history could not be
learned. Jobn u JNiel is at present in
the Greenhorn district near Canyon City
where be went over a week ago. Wm
O'Neil is working at Senfert's cannery,
Mrs. O Neil is also awav from home to
day.
Mrs. Johns, 'her mother, knew . but
little about the family history of her son
in-law, merely knowing that the boys'
father, and believing that the boys
grandfather waa born in America.
The story can scarcely be true. Sixty
million dollars is too much money to fall
into The Dalles at one drop. One
two hundred thousand dollars might
have been credited, but the larger
amount well hardly. '
Toons; Girl Lost.
C. J. Carlson and W. W. Robins, who
returned yesterday from their trip to
tbe north fork of the John Day river re
port that tbe young daughter of tbe
postmaster of Susanville has been mis
sing from her borne since July 4. On
this date she strayed from her home and
became lost or was carried away. Over
200 men are scouring the country trying
to find some clew as to the girl's where'
abouts, of which nothing had been
learned up to Saturday night. Carlson
and Robbins searched for two days, and
during their tramp over the country
met many others who were bent on tbe
same object.
Fears are entertained that the girl has
been seduced away from her home and
murdered. Pendleton Tribune.
THE GIRL FOUND.
A telegram in today's Oregonian from
Pendleton announces that the little
girl has been found, and tells the follow
ing story in connection with the event :
Emma, tbe 4-year-old daughter of Post
master Nelson, of Susanville, was found
Sunday, sitting on a pile of driftwood by
tbe riverside, apparently unconcerned,
after being lost seven days. The child
recognized the man who found her, said
'Hello" and called him by name. She
said she had not been frightened ; she
knew she was lost, but thought she
wonld soon find papa. It is learned
that tbe little one lived on berries and
flesh from the carcass of a calf killed by
coyotes, quenched her thirst at tbe river,
where she washed her face every morn
ing. She had made a nine-mile circuit
in the most dangerous part of the mount
ains. She suffered none. Her preser
vation is regarded as a miracle.
Ntra. Irvine Dead.
A telegram was received this morning
by Mr. John Irvine, stating that bis
wife, Catharine Irvine, had died tbe
previous evening at Salem. . Mr. Irvine
took the afternoon train for Salem, and
will return with the remains tonight.
The funeral will take place from Wm.
Michell's undertaking parlors tomorrow
afternoon at 2 o'clock. Mrs. Irvine bas
been paralyzed for several years, and
was last fall taken to Salem.

Two Cases Settled.
Judge Bradshaw made two decreesJ
yesterday. They were in the cases of
W. 8. Meyers vs. Godfrey and J. M.
McClure vs. H. S. Davidson.
Tbe former case was one where Meyers
sued Godfrey fox half the value of some
partition fences, of which Godfrey bad
the benefit for a number of years.
Godfrey was summoned to appear as a
defendant a certain Saturday. He
failed to appear, afterwards asserting
the summons read tbe Monday follow
ing. Thereupon Godfrey failing to ap
pear and answer, Meyers' attorneys got
out an execution, through default. At
tempting to sell some of Godfrey's prop
erty upon it, he issued an injunction
and tbe case decided yesterday was on
the injunction. The court decreed that
the injunction be dissolved and the ex
ecution mav therefore be issued.
The other case is that of J. M. Mc
Clure vs; H. S. Davidson. Davidson
sued McClure on an account for $50,
and got judgment, by a jury trial before
Justice of the Peace Chandler at Wa-
mic. It appears the trial was irregular
from the decree of tbe court, Judge
Bradshaw yesterday reversing tbe action
of the lower court..
ance is the town cow, an animal that
soon becomes intelligent enough to pick
tbe most intricate lock and open all
kinds of gates. The time between
turning her out by tbe owner and being
picked np by the herder is sufficient for
her to accomplish a good deal of mis
chief. If the cow could be taught to
eat the thistles, a vexed problem wonld
be solved, but even if taught, a cow's
perverse nature wonld not admit of her
doing anything beneficial to tbe human
race further than supplying that very
useful and general household necessity

Strange Coincidence.
A strange coincidence was noticeable
at the bimetallic convention, Thursday
last. Solomon Brown, of Salem, was
delegate. He is a son of John Brown of
Harper's Ferry fame, and at one point
of the proceedings the crowd song "John
Brown's body lies molding in the
grave," In bonor of the son present.
Shortly after this our townsman ' W. T,
Booth came into the room. Soon after
it was whispered that Mr. Booth's
father was the sheriff who hanged Mr.
Brown's father for the leading part he
took in the insurrection at Harper's
Ferry. The two men were brought to
gether and after conversing awhile it
was found to be a fact. It was said fur
ther that a man was present who, being
angered at Sheriff Booth for hanging
Brown, took revenge by burning several
buildings that belonged to Mr. Booth.
We were onable to establish the authen
ticity of the latter statement. Valley

If the Cow Would Hot the Thistles.

Mr. Emile Schanno has retorned from '
a recent trip through Sherman county
and the John Day country. He finds)
the grain considerably damaged by the
hot winds in Sherman coonty. In the
John Day valley there are fine crops
of alfalfa bay. The valley is also a
splendid natural fruit country. Mr.
Schanno tells of an apricot tree on Mr.
Hilton's place which is four feet through,
at tbe base and thirty feet high. All
kinds of fruit trees are very large and
thrifty. Tbe only drawback to the conn
try is its lack of railroad facilities, other
wise fruit raising would be more gener
ally followed. ,
BtMkBMS Reported Killed.
Word bas . just been received from
Canyon City, says the Baker City Dem
ocrat, of a fight between the cattlemen
of the Izee country and the sheepmen of
Crook county, in which two sheepmen
and one cattleman were killed. The
particulars of tbe fight were not re
ceived, further than that it was a con
flict over the range of the Sooth Fork
country. Another messenger brings the
news that it was the same sheepmen
that had their wagons and provisions
destroyed over there several weeks' ago.
