ter reduced the fracture, and the boy is
getting along nicely.
The minstrel show of Richards &
Pringle and Ruscoe & Holland at the
Vogtlast evening was well attended and
first-class show was presented. This
company has two splendid bands, a fine
orchestra and a number ot stars in their
respective lines, and we can heartily
recommend them to public patronage.

stealing of a horse va'.ued at $10, from
D. J. Cooper, who filed the complaint.
Hon A. S. Bennett waa attorney for the
defense, while A. A. Jayne appears in
behalf of the Btate. Mann was dis
charged as the evidence against bim was
not sufficient to warrant his being held
to appear before the grand jury.
"Dandy," the little dog belonging to
the Kickapoo Indian Medicine Com
pany jumped from the top of the 30-foot
ladder at 2:15 this afternoon. Qu;.te a
crowds gathered to witness the leap, and

During the vear but five inches of rain
bave fallen, and the growing grain is
beginning to dry oat, while the pasture
is so scare that thousands of head of
cattle and horses are threatened with
starvation. It is said that prospects for
rain are very poor, since it is a rare
thing to have rain in that state later
than March, and if snch prove the case
this year, it will be very disastrous for
the Calitornia stockmen and farmers.,
A man named Williams, who claims
to bail from Colfax, Wash., is now a
boarder at the county jail, says the Pen
dieton Tribune. He made his appear
ance at jail Wednesday with a wild,
hungry gleam in bis eye,-and begged for
protection. He told Deputy Sheriff
Frazier be came from Colfax and that
the gamblers and rounders of that place
were persecuting bim and aiming to
take bis life. It is thought he was an
occupant of the jail at the time of the
SKIRTS. We can , sell you any
thing you want in the Skirt linefrom
$1.35 to $12.50.
Your Boy
Need New Clothes?
Queer boy if he doesn't need something new every
few days. If carefulness is needed any-where, it's in
buying "duds" for the boy. Perhaps the Suit or
Waist you've seen on somebody else's boy wouldn't
look so well on jTour boy as some other style. We
have the other style. Bring the youngster here and
dress him up in the different sorts, till you find the
one best suited to him. . , .

affected his mind.
L. L. Hill, who with John Cradle
baugh is part owner of the Golden Eagle
mine in Baker county, arrived in the
city today. Mr. Hill informs us that
tbey have their tunnel in 250 feet, and
have struck fine free milling ore. He
has numerous specimens of the ore, and
the gold can be plainly seen on the sur
face with, the naked eye. When a mag
nifying glass is turned on,' the whole
surface ot the ore fairly glitters with the
shining metal. As far as can be judged,
there is a large quantity of this ore, and
that Messrs. Hill and Cradlebangh bave
a Klondike of their own cannot be
doubted in the least.
A drill of Co G. O. N. G., will be held
at the armory tonight. All the militia
men in this city, are requested to be
present, as those who are not on hand
will be discharged and others put in
their places. At present the company
consists of about forty-four members,
and as soon as possible the number will
be increased to sixty-three, and' such a
thing is possible that orders may be is
sued to increase the number to a hun
dred members, Numerous applications
have already been banded in, and the
only difficulty will be to find room for
all who volunteer. Ex-members of the
company are requested to be present
and will bave the preference of the en
listment. The Salt Lake Herald says: "The
Bittner company presented 'Friends'
to a large audience at the Grand opera
house last evening, and to say that it
was handled by the company in an ex
cellent manner expresses the facts con
cisely. The companv has undoubtedly
gained the confidence of the community,
for aa the week advances the crowds
grow no smaller. Messrs. Bittner, Wal
dron, Kelley, Fred ricks and Underwood
are the gentlemen who do some very
clever acting, assisted by Miss Mattie
Choate and the other ladiee, while
Messrs. Moran and McClellan, the step
dancers, together with the triogragb,
furnish an abundance of amusement for
any one daring an evening. The fact is
becoming evident that the company has
no superiors in the western states as a
repertorie company, not excepting the
renowned Frawleys, of San Francisco."

count of the shortage of feed.
Five carloads of cattle were brought to
this city yesterday by Joe Howard, of
Prineville, and were shipped to Port

price which beef cattle are bringing,

Orders were received from headquar
ters yesterday asking -for forty militia
men and one commissioned' officer to be

aa yet been learned, nothing further
than than that a call for forty had been
made being given out.

bright prospects for a useful life. '

Canyon Uity, baa a very narrow escape
from drowcing in Canyon creek, within
the limits of Canyon City, Grant county
laet week. The trio were crossing the
stream on a foot bridge near the home
of Sheriff Livingston, and, child-like,
paused on the bridge to gaze at the
swift rushing water, the creek at this
eeaaon being unusually high and swift
The youngest'child of Mr. Powell became
dizzy and staggered off the bridge into
the water. The two others were so badly
frightened that they clung to the fall
ing child and the next instant all three
of them were being carried away to what
seemed certain death. Luckily, a couple
of youths near by heard their cries and
went heroically to the rescue and sue
ceeded in bringing them all safely to
shore.
DEATH OF WEBBER VARNEY.
After an Illness of Only Three Days He
Passrs Away.
At about 5 p. m. yesterday Leigh
Webber Varney, the oldest son of Mr.
and Mrs. A. N. Varney, died at the
home of his parents in this city.
Webber Varney, or" as he waa better
known, Web, was born in this city Sep
tember 7, 1883, and was consequently
14 years, 6 months and 15 days old. He
was an exceptionally bright boy, waa
obedient and good natnred, and on ac
count of his industrious disposition was
a great help to his parents at home and
at the place of business in which Mr.
Varney was until recently engaged.
He was feeling slightly indisposed for
several days before he was taken sick,
but until Wednesday his malady was
not considered serious. On that day he
became so ill that a physician was
called, but when he arrived the little
fellow was unconscious and there could
be no donbt that be was suffering from
an attack of cerebro spinal meningitis.
Elopes of his recovery were entertained

morrow from ' the Episcopal church
Friends of the family are cordially in
vited to attend.
The Meeting Last Night.
Saturday's Daily.
Evangelist Miller was- at bis best in
singing last night. Many new faces
were in the audience, and it was plain
ly to be seen that they were captivated
by the singing. The meeting was very
informal and all seemed to feel at home.
Said the preacher "I will not preach to
night "except in song.
After reading the parable of the rich
man who pulled down his barne and
built greater saying, "Soul, take thine
ease; eat, sleep and be merry." . .But
God said, "Thou foolish man ; this night
thy soul shall be required of thee; then
whose shall these things be." The
thought conveyed in the parable ia that
the man was profoundlv selfish and
totally dead and indifferent to God, bis
creator and benefactor, which is the
dominating sin of today. The talk was
brief, but telling.
Taking his seat at the organ he began :
I sat alone with life's memories.
In sight of tbe crystal sea:
And 1 saw the thrones of tbe star-crowned ones,
Dui never a crown ior me. . '
When the song finished, profound si
lence reigned, and silent prayer followed.
When the invitation was given, the
front seat and altar was filled with anx
ious Christians and seeking sinners.
Tbe leader said: "I feel like singing
What would you like?" 'The "Trundle
Bed" was called for. This he sang with
great - pathos, and then blended song
after song in together, nutil tbey all
seemed to catch tbe spirit ot joy, and
the meeting closed with an old-fash
ioned shout in the camp.
, Sunday evening will be Mr. Miller's
last service. No one should fail to hear
him sing. . B.

Portland, April 23. The

. A report received from Lon

Another report was that the
City of Paris had eluded the

are strongly discredited.

The report that this govern

ficially confirmed.
The Spanish captured the
American ship Shenandoah,
wheat laden from San Fran
cisco to Queenstown. '.
There is every reason to be
lieve that Secretary Sherman
will resign from the cabinet
within the next few days. It
is felt by friends of his, that
the present crisis is proving
too severe a tax upon his fail
ing strength, and for this rea
son he will retire to private
life. His successor will be
Assistant Secretary Day in all
probability, but it can be
stated that Judge day has no
desire to remain in public
life.
It is the president's natural
desire to promote Judge Day
to the position which Secre
tary Sherman will vacate, but
if he persists in the desire to
retire from public life, there
will be a re-organization of the
department t6 the extent of a
new secretary and assistant.

In a short time the building which,
will be occupied by the Dalles Crystal
Ice Co. will be completed. The plant,
which will have a capacity of five torus'
per day, will be ready to supply all de
mands of this city, and in this way
money that is continually being paid
out for thia commodity will be kept at
home. '
We highly approve of this uove on
the part ot those concerned in the plant,
and we daresay that they will be welt
patronized by our townspeople, as well
as those in the surrounding towns.
If a few more of onr business men
would launch into like enterprise onr
city would soon advance to the plain on

The plant will be situated on Second

HEALTH CATECHISM.
To Be Committed to Memory By Al
Dyspeptics, Invalids, Consumptive.
What is tbe first cause of nine-tenths
of all disease?
Imperfect digestion of food.
Why does imperfect digestion cause
disease of other organs?
Because blood, nerves, muscles, bone.
and flesh are derived from the food we
eat and digest. If digestion . is perfect
the blood is pure, nerves and muscle
strong, flesh firm. If the digestion is,
poor, tbe blood is supplied from half
digested, fermenting food, irritating ev
ery nerve and organ. The result is,
sooner or later, organic disease, because
every organ being poorly nourished the
weakest gives way first and we bave
liver trouble, kindey complaints, heart
disease or consumption. .
Is not dieting the usual and best treat
ment to cure indigestion?
No, because the dyspeptic has been
starved long enough ; what is needed is
Abundant nourishment, not tbe lack of
it. Tbe stomach and blood demand
Nutriment, not bran crackers.
What is the best method. of cure?
Plenty of Wholesome food Well Di
gested. But how can a weak stomach digest
Plenty ot wholesome food?
By taking with the food after each
meal certain harmless remedies which
are' known to Digest Food, and thus
nourish the blood and Best the weak
stomach..
What are these harmless remedies?
The most valuable are vegetable fer- .
ments, pure pepsin, Golden beat and
fruit salts. All of these are now com
bined in the form of pleasant tasting
tablets, sold by druggis under the name
of Stuart's Dvspepsia Tablets.
Are these tablets superior to the var
ious liquid preparations so called dys
pepsia cures?
Most ' decidedly, because all liquid
medicines oecoine stale with age and
loose what ever good qualities they may
have had originally, while the tablet re
tains tts properties indefinitely. Stu
art's Dyspepsia Tablets can be carried
in the pocket, alwav at band, ready for
use when traveling or at daily occupa
tion. They cost but 50 cents and should
be kept in every family. Tbey keep the
digestion perfect and save doctor's bills
by wading off disease.
Are Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets adapt
ed to all forms of Dyspepsia?
Yes, because in all cases tbe trouble
results from ludigested, fermenting food-
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets ' cause the
food to be digested Before It Has- Time
to Ferment.
If you wish to know more about them
ask your druggist for a package and try
them. " -
