Looking for a Ledge.
The Grant's Pass Mining Journal,
says:
A. J. Barlow, Dr. E. Mingus and E. C
Cornelius left by wagon on Tuesday for
the South Umpqua. Thereby hangs a
tale. When the dead body of Ed.
Schiefflin was found some weeks ago in
a lonely cabin, twenty miles east of
Canyonville, by its side was found some
rich ore and in the pan was about $4 in
gold. It appears that when the mes
senger oi aeacn louna tne veteran pros
pector, the latter had discovered the
ledge for which he bad searched so long
and laboriously. The gentleman who
left this week for the scene of his labor
profess to know where that ledge is to
be found and have gone in search of it.
It is surmised that the information came
to them through Mrs. Schiefflin, with
whom Col. Barlow has been in commu
nication. But whether such be the
. source of their information or the lo
cality was revealed by the spirits let us
hope that they will find it. It is an
interesting fact that the locality where
they will make their search lies just
across the divide from the Elk creek
strike.
Results of Extravagance.
The town of Forest Grove has evi
dently been "living fast." Its city coun
cil at tie regular session Saturday even
ing decided to levy a tax on all business
houses and professional men, varying
from $5 to $23 annually. Merchants
must pay $25, as will drug stores ; banks,
$20; livery stables and groceries, $15;
botchers, hardware stores, doctors and
dentists, $10; printers and barbers, $6;
tinners, $5; lawyers, $4. Telephone,
telegraph and insurance companies will
also be called upon to contribute. Cows
at large must pay $4. Men are taxed $1.
This is to raise money for a sinking fund
to meet the city's bonded indebtedness.
Already people are roasting the city
council, and the tax is likely to cauee a
commotion. Business men would many
of them favor the scheme, if it carried
with it any protection from outsiders so
liciting trade here. A Hillsboro attor
ney is at work under the direction of the
council drafting tne Dill.
And There Are Others.
A Washington paper says that Mr,
Corbett "enjoys all the privileges of a
senator except making speeches, voting
and drawing his salary," This is almos t
like saying that, a region of country is
excellent, except for the want ot good
soil, rood climate, water, timber and
civilization. Sunday Welcome.

Deafness Cannot be Cared
bv local applications, as they cannot

There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
flamed voa have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en
tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tnbe restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine caws out of ten are cansed
by catarrh, which is 'nothing but an in

INDIAN MV0ECES.
Summary Proceedings of the Dis
satisfied Married Brave.
Scant Ceremony - Used in Casting; OH
tne Galling: Yoke Which Binds -Him
to Hia Objection,
able Squaw.
With most of the plains Indians mar
riage consists simply in picking out the
maiden, leading her to a cabin or wig--wam,
and installing' her as mistress of
the house and cornfield, sometimes with
the necessary preliminary of paying the
father a pony or two or an installment
of blankets, and occasionally with some
slight ceremony performed by chief or
medicine man. And when, the brave
grows tired of. his partner-he can get
rid of her as easily as he won her.
The people who are now flocking to
the Dakotas or Oklahoma to get di
vorces would be supremely happy if
they could throw off the galling bonds
of wedlock as easily as does the reserva
tion Indian. The fact having been for
mally announced by the head man of
the clan, the divorce takes place when
the tribe is gathered at a dance. When
all are assembled and the circle formed,
the discontented warrior strikes a drum
used by the revellers, (gives away.a few
presents (of ttimes making a present to
the squaw he intends to take next), and
then, in a short, bombastic speech, he
stigmatizes his wife by giving her over
to the tender mercies of other braves,
while they look upon him enviously and
consider that he has performed an. act
of bravery in his desertion.
Often as many as half a dozen di
vorces are thus obtained at a single
dance; no tedious waiting, no courts,
no lawyers, and no trouble about air
mony or the custody of the children.
And the squaws thus cast off as a gener
al thing seem to take it as a matter of
course, and before the close of the lance
are using the wiles known and used by
the women of the world over in an ef
fort to repair as speedily as possible
the break in their hearts and matrimo
nial experience.
With the taking of land in severalty
and putting on of citizenship, however,
the Indian finds that he has cemented
the ties that were so loose before, for
the courts everywhere are deciding that
the tribal marriages are legal and bind'
ing upon the Indian who becomes a cit
izen. And if the weight of one legal
marriage wears somewhat heavily upon
a white man, how must it be with the
red man who has contracted two, three.
four, or even more alliances which the
court now declares legal and at the
same time takes away his former av
enue of relief?
The first court divorces ever given
5jiy member of the southwest reserva
tion tribes was granted in' the district
court at El Reno several weeks ago,
The fair plaintiff in the case was a full-
blooded Kiowa girl, whose name was
something like Beahl Koo, but perhaps
it had never before been 60 reduced to
writing until it appeared upon the rec
ords of the court. She was totally un
familiar with the English language, and
it was necessary to tell her troubles by
the aid of an interpreter, butifche trouble
was to find some one that could inter
pret the weird dialect of Kiowa. Judge
Jack Stillwell, the ex-scout, was pres
ent, and, although quite familiar with
the, Comanche tongue, he was com'
pelled . to confess that he could not
handle Kiowa. A way was soon found
whereby she could tell her tale of woe
to Judge Burford. Caddie Konkie
(Black Crane), a leading member of the
Kiowa tribe, and a very intelligent man.
was present, and while he could not
talk English, he could speak Kiowa,
and interpret it into Comanche, and
Judge Stillwell then interpreted it into
English. She stated that she was not
quite 16 years of age, and that she hod
been married to a white man named
King for three years, but that he had
left her over two' years ago, and that
she was now living with her parents.
After hearing all the facts the court
granted her privilege to assume her
maiden name, or any other name she
saw fit.
At the next term of the district court
at Tologo, D county, however, will be
presented an application for divorce,
the like of which is without a parallel,
and the judge and attorney will look
in vain for precedent decisions in an
the law reports extant.
Yellow Bonnet, a Cheyenne Indian of
some note, living on his allotment near
this city, has applied for a blanket di
vorce from four wives. Yellow Bonnet
gives as his reason for such a sweep
ing divorce that he has embraced the
Christian religion, and his wives have
refused to become Christians. St. Loui?

SIGNS OF APPROACHING AGE.
Bow a Man Showed That Ha Was Grow
th." ing Old Without Knowing It,
A man, apparently slightly past mid
tile life, whose hair was tinged: with gray
and noticeably thin on top, sat near me at
the theater. As the curtain rose for the
first time a spectacled man of about
the same age entered and occupied the
vacant seat between us. : He looked at
the other fixedly. The look was ex
changed, and in a second each had the
other cordially by the hand. The con
versation told me that they had been
schoolmates who had not met in many
years. .
"By Jove, Charlie!" exclaimed the
first, "it does me good to see you.- You
haven't changed much more than I have
and I am not a day older than when we
got our diplomas."
"I can't quite agree with you, Tom,"
answered the other, "but I don't feel
very old yet. I see you still enjoy the
theater, and expect you have kept up
your literary taste for the last 30
years?"
"Thirty years ! " repeated Tom. "How
the years fly! Do you remember how
they used to drag? Theaters! Well, I
do go now and then, but the plays and
acting are not what they used to be. As
to books, I still read them, but none of
the modern traslv-There hasn't been a
good book written for a quarter of a cen
tury. The new ones give me the dys
pepsia worse than what I eat. Do you
remember the meals we had on the old
Vermont farm? Those were happy
days! Thirty years and more ago!
Strange; but I don't show a sign of age.
wonderwhere this confounded draught
is coming from. I feel neuralgia on top
of my head now.
"Tom, old boy," replied the other,
"you are deceiving yourself, for you
have shown marked signs of approach
ing age within three minutes. Your
belief that theaters and actors have
degenerated, that new books are below
the standard, that childhood cooking
was perfection and that time flies so
very fast are all indications that you are
on the downhill side of life. The slight
draught that you say brings a tinge
of neuralgia to the top of your head,
where, I notice, the hair is rather thin,
wouldn't have been thought of 30 years
ago. Then here you are in the very
front seats of a theater. No use denying
the signs, Tom. We are getting along,
and must admit what others plainly
see." N. Y. Herald.
DIET OF SCHOOL CHILDREN.
Articles Which Should Form the Dally
Eegimeo,
Every successful farmer and every
one who cares for young animals knows
very well that the food given them dur
ing the first portion of their lives has
much to do with building up healthy,
hardy, strong constitutions for future
usefulness, but until very recently few
people have seemed to be aware that
the diet of school children is one of
the most important items for them to
consider.
Boys are more easily fed than girls,
their romping and exercise generally
giving them much better appetites; but
even boys, when they are very studious,
are apt to get a little run down and lose
their digestive vitality. Then they
neglect their food, and come home some
times with the luncheon in their bas
kets, and, in. answer to inquiries, de
clare they were not hungry and posi
tively could not eat anything.
When a child comes home with its
midday luncheon in a basket, its physi
cal condition needs looking after It
is often said that girls have an inordi
nate appetite for sweets, and that boys
are much more easily satisfied. Per-
this may be so in certain locali
ties, but the average boy is likely to be
quite as fond of sweet things as his
sister. Many a youngster eats bread
and butter when he prefers cake, be
cause he has learned that he must eat
or he cannot play. It is this feeling
that keeps him in better condition than
the girl in the same household. If the
girl would take as much exercise in pro
portion, her. appetite would be quite
as good. However this may be, a great
deal of pains ought to be taken to pro-

scarcely a season of the year when one

of all fruits, the most healthful.
An excellent meal can be made out
of sandwiches, apples and boiled eggs.
Sardine sandwiches are very relishable,
and as sardines are not at all expensive,
they should be used, if the children like
them. If milk is plenty, a bottle or
can of it is an excellent addition to the
midday diet for school children. Cook
ies, crackers and sweetmeats are to be
used sparingly, and every effort should
be made to encourage children in culti-
vating a taste for plain and simple food.

A BUTTERFLY CATCHER.
An eld Man Chasing; the Idler for the
. Richest Man in the World.
. Chasing butterflies for the richest
man in the world is now the occupation
of one of the most striking looking
characters seen in the streets of Los
Angeles. He is 82 years old, keen-eyed
straight and vigorous, with the step and
alertness of a man whose life has been
spent out of doors. His name is George
W. Dunn, and he has been snaring but
terflies since 1849, when he came to the
state. He is a naturalist of the Audubon
type. He knows all the books by heart,
but he knows better than all the book of
nature, and has spent his existence turn
ing its leaves. He has searched the fields
and forests of all the Pacific states, of
British Columbia, lower California,
Mexico and South America, and has 12
times tramped over central America
always after plants and insects.
Over at Trig, England, lives an old
man who is chiefly known to the world
because of his immense wealth, but who.
if he were poor, would be famous be
cause of his researches and knowledge
as a naturalist. He is Baron de Roths
child, and at Trig he has a large three
story building, which he is filling with
entomological specimens. He heard of
Mr. Dunn some time ago, and has em
ployed him to make a collection on the
coast of Mexico. Dunn has already sev
eral thousand butterflies ready to ship
to August Belmont at New York, who
will forward them to Trig. Each is
placed in a three-cornered envelope, so
arranged that the delicate inclosure
ca nnot be injured. In a few days he will
leave for Revila Gigedo. on the east coast
of Mexico. He has an indefinite com
mission, and will be a long time com
pleting the baron's collection. As he ap
pears certain to be good for half acentury
more of life, he does not need to hurry.
Indeed, he says the philosophy of life
is this live slowly. San Francisco Ex

OVERBOARD WENT THE RAZORS.
"Scrappy Bill's" Story of a Qnick-Witted
Steamboat Captain.
"A friendly thunderstorm once
saved a carving match between a
lot of colored baseball fans," relates
"Scrappy Bill" Joyce. "It happened in
Galveston harbor in 1888- and at the
time I was captain of the Houston team,
the champions of the Texas league,
On a hot Sunday afternoon we went to
Galveston to play a game with the Gal
veston team. An excursion steamer,
with a party of colored excursionists,
all rooters for the Galvestons,leftoneof
the coast towns early on Sunday morn
ing. There was plenty to drink on
board and the colored sports waded
into it. While the fans were collecting
a high tide a dispute arose over the
merits of the Houstons and Galvestons,
and though the Galveston crowd was in
the majority the Houston push refused
to be downed in the argument. When
the dispute was at its height, and all in
dications pointed to a razor finish, the
captain of the steamer corkscrewed his
way into the crowd and yelled: 'Stop
this noise. We're going to have
thunderstorm in a minute, and I want
you .to warn all those who have steel
weapons concealed on their persons. If
you don't part- with those weapons you
lay yourselves open to dangrer. The
steel will attract the lightning. So look
out!' Every colored sport on that
boat rammed his hand into his pocket,
pulled out a jackknife, a razor or
gun and tossed them into the sea. The
stotm was a tame affair and passed over
in five minutes'. But the quick wit of the
captain in separating those sports
from their steel saved many a fellow
that afternoon." X. Y. Herald.

WOMEN AS MAGNETS.
David Could Vouch for Some Wonderful
' Things They Did.
"You don't believe those stories about
women being human magnets, do you?"
Dora asked.
"Some of them are mighty attract
ive," David said, looking at her keenly.
Dora blushed.
"I don't mean, that," she said; "I
mean their doing such great things
lifting half a dozen men and all those
tricks. Do you believe it?"
"Well, I don't know," David reflective
ly answered ; "I saw a woman to-day-she
wasn't more than five feet high,
and slight at that I saw her just lift
a finger it was right in the street,
crowds of. people around her she
raised her finger and and "
"Well, for pity's sake, what?" ex
claimed Dora, impatiently. "Don't be
so long about it."
"I don't go so far as to say she had
electrical powers," David pursued,
calmly; "I won't undertake to explain
what it was, but this much I vouch for,
for I saw it with my own eyes the
moment she raised that little finger
it had a dainty pink nail on it a heavily
loaded street car that was passing came
to an instant stop."
But Dora, with heightened color, de
clared that if ever another woman lived
who was married to so mean a man, all
she had got to say was that she pitied
her. N. Y. Recorder. j

When my little girl was one month old, she
had a scab'fonn on her face. It kept sr.readr
ing until she was completely covered from
head to foot. Then she bad boils. She had
forty on her head at one time, and more on her
body. When six months old she did not weigh
seven pounds, a pound and a half loss than at
birth. Then her skin started to dry up and
got so bad sueooiild aot shut her eyes to sleep,
but lay with them half open. About tins
time, I started using Cutickba Remedies,
and in one month the win mmpletttjt cured.
The doctor and drug bills were over oe An
dred dollar, the Ci'Ticdra bill was not more
than Jive dollar: My child is now strong,
healthy, and large as any child of her ago (seo
