An Honored Sage.
Professor Thomas Condon, department
of geology, University of Oregon, has
celebrated his 75th birthday. This emi- I
nent scientist has passed his three score
years and ten mile post; and, at. an age
when most men retire .from life's ac
tivities, he remains in the-ranks -of
earnest truth seekers and investigators,
He is one of the few on whom age seems
not to stamp .the .marks of decay; to
whom advancing years .bring not dim
ness of mental vision ; who are virile
and vigorous 4a proportion to the length
of life. Professor Condon is a student
.of nature, not a pedant who lives alone
among books and, feeds vonly on the
mental fruit cultivated by others. He
has the ' ability to read "sermons in
stones" see "book's in running brooks,'
and find "good in. everything." As a
geologist of eminence, a bit of rock tells
to him a story of mighty forces once
exerted ; a stratum in the earth's for
mation , speaks eloquently of the ages
during which our globe was being
formed ; a glimpse of Nature's product
is a sentence from a language that the
Almighty speaks to the one who goes
- "near to Nature's heart." One who
studies Nature cannot grow old.
Her
voices srjeak enconrasinirlv i its hidden
secrets entice ever onward further
discovery of her true SDirit: familiarity
with her works purifies and strengthens.
Nature known and understood renews
the vonth and nnliftH the mind of men.
These are not effusive words of empty
compliment, They-'are sincere tributes
to one who deserves them. Professor
Condon is honored 'by the people of
Oregon, whom he'Eas long served as a
teacher of the wonderful science of
geology ; and, where rer genuine scholar

Railroad Trains Cannot Be Moved.
St. Paul, March' 8. Minnesota and

next few dayB. It bas snowed every day
this month, 8nnday's etorm being the
greatest in'weeksJUBailroad trains are
tied in every direction and many small
branches are abandoned. The legisla

day, ia tied up as tightly as if underl

state of things at Aberdeen, Blount,

The Mount Lebanon Shakers have in
vented a great many valuable . things.
They were the first to make brooms by
machinery ; the first to put up seeds in
litttle packages; the first to manufacture
cut nails. ; .
Now they are out with a method of cor
ing dyspepsia by resting the stomach.
Their remedy is known as. the Shaker
Digestive Cordial. It supplies food in
an artificially digested form and at the
same time - aids the digestion of other
foods in the stomach. In other words,
by the use of the Shaker Digestive Cor
dial, a dyspeptic- virtually- gets, along
without the use of his stomach . until jt
is restored to its . natural strength and
vigor. A single-iu cent Dotwe-wutou
times give marked relief. Get a bottle
from your druggist and try it.

The Flood In Illinois. .
Cablisle, 111., March 8. The river
is still rising. The water is now at i
stage within one foot
of the unprece
dented flood of 1892. The suspension
bridge across the river at this point is
threatened with distrnction. An ad
ditional rise of two feet will sweep away
the bridge, and will entail a loss of $25,
000. Thousands of logs and rafts are
lost in the swift current. One, hun
dred thousand bushels of corn , which is
stored in cribs in the overflowed district
will be a total loss. ' .
There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all othe diseases put

great many years doctors pronounced it

cafe with local treatment, pronounced
it incurable. Science has proven catarrh
to be a constitutional disease, and there

OUR: LOCALS MINSTRELS. '
...... (
One of the Most Snjoyable Affair Ever
Been In Tne Dalles.
The minstrel show last night was, as
anticipated, the affair of the season
When 8 o'clock came without a seat be
ing occupied, it was evident that the af
fair, as far as the audience was Con
cerned, at least, was to be "swell." And
swell it was, for the curtain did not go
up until a quarter to 9, and the reason
therefor was the crowd that began to
arrive at 8:15 and that ..kept, streaming
in nntil the time mentioned.' The hall
was packed, and in all our experience
we never saw so many beautiful women
at once with their hats off. It may be
that the absence of the hats improved
their looks, but at any rate the fact that
they were off was thoroughly appre
ciated. We feel that it is unnecessary
to make , any extended comment or
criticism, since everybody was there to
see, yet a brief mention cannot be -forborne.
' 1
.Hartnett: and Hampshire were the
curtain raisers, sending it up in an
Irish character sketch that was very
funny, and which was wound up with
the song,'Little Johnny Dugan." : An
encore brought them back, and it was
only .the knowledge of other good things
yet in store that prevented tbeoa being
recalled the third time.
They were followed by Mr. Morse, in
his skirt dance, ! which he gave in a
splendid manner, getting a beartv
recall. . -.
. ..He was followed by Arthur Clarke and
Will Crossen in a German character
sketch that was a mirth provoker from
start to finish.
Then Nick Sinnott as "Cissy Side
ways eent everybody wild. The make
up was great, Nicks six feet of muscular
development appearing perfectly im
mense in the cute dresses and obsolete
pantalets. His stabs at the Thursday
doings at the club, were evidently un
derstood and appreciated by the mem
bers thereof, and when he told about
kicking at the punch bag, and that the
next day when it rained the roof leaked,
there was a storm of applause.
Harry Lonsdale's speech' on money
was well received and the local hits' were
heartily applauded.
The chicken brigade, consisting of
Clarke, Clarke, Hampshire and Hart
nett, was, in our opinion, one of the
best things of the evening.
Professor Love sang a French dialect
song, that was very good, and in
response to an encore danced the ser
pentine, completing the vaudeville por
tion bf the program.
After a brief intermission, the curtain
went up to show a burlesque prizefight
between Corbett and Fitzaimmons, the
latter being, represented by Prof. Love
and the former by Willie McNeil, who,
after three hotly contested rounds, was
declared the champion ot the world. - -..
When the ' curtain went up on the
Second half, the full company of twenty
six were on the stage, with Nick Sinnott
as interlocutor. The songs and choruses
in this part were fine, and the fact that
eyerv number received an encore that
would not be stood off, prolonged the
program until 20 minutes to 12. -
The show was great -from start to
finish, every number receiving deserved
applause, and it is safe to say that when
ever The Dalles boys give another en
tertainment, they will have, a crowded
bouse.
CATCHING A TARTAR. .
The Brave and Effective Kesistance of an
'' - Intended Victim. '.'-
Highway robberies, even under mod
ern name of Vhold-ups," which alters
nothing of their character, have become
decidedly rare in the far northwest; and
they are likely to become still rarer if
all intended victims make as brave and
effective' resistance as did a grcer of
Eainier, Washington, recently.
This grocer, whosee name is Hubert,
started from Eainier with his wagon
one" night to goto Tacoma to buy goods.
With him was a' 13-year-old boy. He
carried $106 to pay for his purchases.
.While he was about two. miles, irom
Boy and on a lonely road two highway
men stepped out, confronted the grocer,
pushed a pistol' into 'his face, and com
manded him to dismount and hand over
his money. -v : . ; " -
Hubert had no notion of givjng up.the
money, but he did not waste any time in
thinking up a plan for beating the rob
bers. . He begao to get d.owTi from the
wagon as if to comply, and' as he did so
he struck the rascal who held the pistol
terrible blow which felled him to the
ground. ""'Hubert then came down with
one heavy, foot upon the wrist of the
hand which held the revolver. ...
While the robber was in this position,
the grocer snatched the weapon away
from him .and pointed it at the other
rascal. It turned out" that the second
robber had ' np "pistoK . - Hubert com
manded him to put up his hands, which
he did. ' . ' - . ,
Meantime the first man was insensi
ble from the . terr jble blow which Hu
bert had dealt him. Hubert made the
second hold up his hands for ten min
utes, until the first had recovered his
senses. Then he. commanded the first
to get up, and told them both to march.
which they did. ' - - -
Thus the 'grocer took them both into
the town of Boy, the boy driving close
behind with the horses-and wagon.
At Boy the thwarted highwaymen were
turned, over to a constable and locked
np, and the grocer went on his way to
Tacoma.

MUSIC IN NERVOUS DISORDERS.
Alleged Core of a Child Due to Chopin's
bomber Waltzes.
The value of music in the treatment
of certain forms of nervous diseases has
before now been called attention to by
physicians. One advantage perhaps of
this therapeutical agency is that m the
event of its doing no good it is not like
ly to do harm. In a recent number of
the Gazette Medicale attention was
drawn -to the remarkable result attend

little girl of three, who was afflicted
with serious nervous disorders, result
ing in epilepsy and paroxysms of fear.
which kept her awake all night. . The'
ordinary remedies, including bromide.
of potassium, were tried without any
effect, and at last the physician recomr
mended the mother to play some soft,
rather melancholy music to her daugh

was recommended, especially the
waltzes in the minor key. The remedy
worked like a charm, for it is -said that
from the night the child went to bed
under the influence- Of music she lost
all her nervous symptoms and slept
without waking- untH the morning. In
order to .prove that this was not the re
sult of mere chance, the music was
omitted on one evening, and the child
passed a night of misery, not so intense
as before the adoption of the treatment.

NOT DUE TO HER SERIOUS TALK.
Mother Permitted a Spanking; to Exert
Its Persuasive Powers. - -
I "Did you notice," asked the jrirl with
the saintly expression of the. girl with
the laughing- eyes, "how beautifully
Tommy Jackson behaved in church to
day?" - .
: The girl with the laughing eyes
nodded silently, and the girl with the
saintly expression went on dreamily:
. "I think that I must have managed
to touch his stony litth? heart at last,"
she. said, thankfully, "but it has been a
hard struggle. I talked to him serious

' "She punished him, too,'' interrupted
the girl with the laughing: eyes, mer

other day a very estimable lady
came to town to do a kttle shopping,

her absence a tramp, who had been
hanging around the' place a number of
days and had caught on, boldly went
into the house, got some of the choicest
viands out of the pantry, put them on"
the table and pit.ch.ed' n. He also found
a bottle of wine that revived his spirits.
He did not expect anyone there for a
number of hours and so he took it easy.
Iu the meantime the lady of the house
having- finished her shopping returned
home and, seeing- the front door un
locked, expected to find her son inside.
Imagine her horror when she opened
the dining-room door and saw sitting
at her table the rustiest-looking tramp

you'll admit that, won't you?"
. "Yes; I think you are." ...
"And blind, too; isn't that so?"
"Yes, you are both poor and blind." .
"Then hand over the money, please,"
demanded the man, "because under the
law I come under both conditions." :
. But the clerk .shook his h.ead in the
negative.
: "You know well enough why yoh
