Notice to Delinquent Taxpayers.
The delinqent taxes of Wasco county,
as shown on th6 rolls now in the hands
of the sheriff are $60,000. an amount al
most equal to the indebtedness of the
county. Every citizen will .doubtless
admit that this state of affairs should
not exist, and that all taxes should be
collected. On account of bard times
in the past the county court Las shown
leniency to taxpayers, but that leniency
has reached the limit, and the court
cannot wait longer on delinquents to
make settlements. For this reason a
warrant has been attached to each de
linquent roll commanding the sheriff to
collect all taxes by seizure and sale of
property. With a bountiful crop now
in sight, there can no longer be any rea-
. sonable excuse for the non-payment of
taxes. The sheriff is bound by oath to
comply with the terms of the warrants
attached to the tax rolls for the collec
tion thereof, and has no option in the
matter. Delinquent taxpayers can save
the cost of seizure anil sale of property
by settling their taxes at once.

Sheriff and Tax Collector for Wasco
County.

New Snake Hirer Bteamer.
The O. R. & N. Co. has commenced
work at Riparia on what is intended to
be the finest and fastest steamer that
ever ran on the npper Snake river. The
new boat will be named the Spokane
and will have a third more power than
the Lewiston, which was a big improve
ment on the boats which preceded ber.
The Spokane will be 180 feet long, with
33 foot beam and 4 foot bold. Her en-
innoi v! 1 1 Via 1ft. tnj.fi .tvlinAara 7-fViif
stroke, and the boiler will carry 180
pounds of steam. On account of burn
ing coal, there will be more room lor
freight, and she will easily carry 5000
sacks of wheat. She will be lighted by
electricity, and have all the modern im
provements. The cost will be about $25,
000. On account of not being able to
get her boiler before December 10th , it
will be the middle of December before
she will -be completed. The new boat
will have the speed and power, with
light draught, to more easily navigate;
the npper Clearwater than the company
has been heretofore ablo to do with. the

THE EXCELENCE OF SYBCP OF FIGS
is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which, it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the California Fie Sybup
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. ' As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the California Fia Svkup Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding1 the worthless
imitations manufactured by other pat
ties. The high standing of the Cali
fornia Fio Syrup Co. with the medi
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. It is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not gripe nor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of
the Company

Better Than the filter.
Dr. Martin of the New York board of
health says that a sure safeguard against
ill effects from contaminated water, and
especially useful in the country, or at
summer resorts, is the addition of five
drops of peroxide of hydrogen to a glass
of water a few minutes before drinking
it. The liquid is obtainable at any drag
store, it costs but a few cents, is abso
lutcly harmless, tasteless and colorlese
Its addition to the water only breaks it
up into active oxygen and water, the
former killing whatever germs or disease
may be present in the water.
In purifying water in quantity, add 15
drops to the quart. This matter is
equally effacacious and much more con
venient than the ordinary way of boil
ing water to destroy possible germs. If
a few drops of solution of sugar are
placed in a glass of suspected water, and
the glass is covered, if it is contami
nated, will become cloudy and deposit a
sediment after a few hours.
The Library.
Have you taken a membership in the
circulating library? If not, you cannot
realize how much you ate missing.
Twentv-five cents a month is such a
small sum for the privilege of access to
so many good books. While a person
can keep a book no longer than two
weeks without paying a cent a day extra
for it, even the busiest people can finish
reading a story in that time, while many
take three or four in that interval
Since obtaining extra funds for the pur
chase of books, 'many late publications
have been added to an already choice
selection ; and every day the best of ad'
ditions are made. Everyone should
take advantage of this opportunity to
secure good reading matter.
To Cleanse the System
Effectually yet gently, when costive or
billious, or when the blood is impure or
sluggish, to permanently overcome ha
bitual constipation, to awaken the kid
neys and liver to a healthy activity,
without irritating or weakening them,
to dispel headaches, colds, or fevere, use

B Protocol Pas Practicarm
Terms Exactly Those
WASHINGTON, Aug.
baut, arrived at the state department at 11 o'clock, and after a conference lasting fifteen
minutes with Secretary Day, during which time they considered some of the details of the
reply, which had been left over, the latter drove to the . White House to confer with the
president. -
There is reason to believe that the Spanish government will recede from certain con
ditions and that the result will be an agreement upon the basis of the terms of peace.
Secretary Day, at 1 o'clock, made the following statement to the press:
"We have agreed upon a protocol, embodying the proposed terms for the negotia
tion of a treaty of peace, including the evacuation of Cuba
ed the protocol will be executed. It can be stated that the
down by the president In his original note about a week ago.
but a few formalities remain to be disposed of to secure the signature of the protocol."
Later an agreement was reached on the protocol, embodying the terms of peace be1
tween Spain and the United States. . -
CAMBON WILL
SIGN PROTOCOL
Ministers are Acquainted With the Re
ply and Ready to Accede Hostilities-Will
Be Suspended After Com
bon Has Signed.
London, Aug. 11. Advices received
throughout the day from Madrid show
that the correspondents are certain that
Cambon will receive authority this after-
noon to Bign the protocol.
Madrid, Ang. 11. The queen regent
presided at a cabinet meeting this morn
ing. Sagasta and otner memoers, on
emerging from the palace, explained
that tjbile they had not received the
full text of McKinley's reply, they had
received an announcement from the
French foreign office which covered the
case.
The president's answer, however, was
then being transmitted to the Spanish
government at the same time. It is
known that the ministers are perfectly
acquainted with the principal points of
the TJnited States' reply, and are ready
to accede to them. :
It is believed in official circles that a
suspension 01 nosiiuiies win De- an

IN COMPLICATIONS
General Gomez Still Pushing Forward
Without Assistance Already at
Holguln.
Washington, Aug. 11. The Cubans
under General Gomez have determined
to forestall the American commander in
the operations in the vicinity of Hol
guin, as they have occupied the small
towns near that point and are still press
ing forward.
These movements have given some
concern to our . military commanders,
and if successful, might result in bring
ing our government to 'a pass where it
mast find itBelf compelled to recognize
the government set np by Gomes in bis
march, or come to an open issue with
the insurgents and forbid them from
conducting further operations, ' except
where sanctioned by the managers of
our own campaign.

have all the troops embarked for Manila
not later than October 10th.
TERRIBLE TRAGEDY
AT DEADW00D
Three Men Lying Dead and a Woman
Dying A Jealous Husband's Aw
ful Deed.
Omaha, Neb., Aug. 11- A Deadwood,
S. D., special to the Bee says :
Three dead and a woman dying is the
result of a shooting affray at 'Central
City this morning. Judge J. P. Gid
dings, Ed Shannon and Jack Wear are
the men, and Mrs. Ed Shannon is the
woman. Shannon had a boarding-house
at Terry and one at Central City. He
stayed' nights at Terry, leaving his wife
to look after the other place. This
morning Shannon returned to Central
City and roused Giddings. Just what
happened is not' known, but the two
men suddenly rushed into the street and
engaged in a struggle. Shannon had a
a revolver. Jack Wear tried to separate
them and was shot through the body,
dying instantly. Shannon then shot
Giddings through the bead, killing him
Next he went to his wife's bedroom,
beat ber about the head with his re
volver until he thought he bad killed
her, and then with a fresh revolyer
shot himself. The woman is alive,
but cannot recover. All the parties are
well-to-do. Giddings has held many
political offices. Intimacy between
Giddings and Mrs. Shannon is given as
the cause of the tragedy. . ...
SPECIAL MARKET LETTER.
Somethlng of Interest to Stockmen Bad
Others.
We publish the following market let
ter, which has been received by Mr.
Mac Allister, in the hope that those of
our readers who are interested in its
contents may be benefitted thereby :
Since the date of onr last letter there
have been general rains over the corn
country and the condition of ' the crop
materially improved. It is now gener
ally believed that a fairly " good crop of
corn will be. made, and in consequence
during the past week prices of stockers
and Teeders have advanced considerably
and trade has been active.
Receipts of Western grass beef cattre
and also of corn-fed beef cattle have
been moderate at this market during the
past weeky"-but the receipts at other
markets Tiave". been liberal and prices
have declined 10c to 16c, except upon
the very best corn-feds.' In conseqnenc9
of the improved condition 'ot the corn
crop, stockers and feeders have improved
and Porto Rico, and it is expect
terms are precisely those laid
It is believed that nothing
in price. We quote Western grass be ef
steers at 3.75 to $4.50 ; cows and heifers,
$3 to $4; Western stockers and feeders,
yearling steers, $4.20 to $4.80 ; two-year-
olds, $3.00 to $4.50; three and four year-
olds, $3.65 to $4.50.
Receipts of Western sheep still con
tinue to be moderate, and trade has been
active although prices at this and all
all other markets have declined during
the week, and we. now quote Western
weathers at $3.60 to $4.10; ewes, $3.50
to $3.75 ; yearlinge, $3.85 to $4.69 ; lambs,
$4.25 to $5.25.
Sheep owners will be glad to learn
that good facilities for resting and fill
ing their sheep before putting them on
the South Omaha market, can be found
at Fremont, on the Union Pacific, and
at Lincoln, on the B. & M. These places
have good yards and good pastures and
charges are reasonable hay at 60c per
cwt, and pasturage at ljc per head for
24 hours. Lincoln has good water fa
cilities, and the Fremont pastures reach
the Platte river, giving them the best
possible facilities. Owners will find it
of great advantage, especially when
making large shipments, to unload and
feed at these points and ship to the
South Omaha market in lots of two to
five cars eah day.
HOT IN HARVEST FIELDS.
Hen Compelled to Quit Work By tlie Ex
cutir Heat.
According to W. H. L30, who has Just
returned from the grain section of East
ern Oregon, the farriers will yet have to
pay a high price for the. threshing of
their wheat. The excessive heat, Mr.
Leo says, is driving the men out of the
fields by the dozens, and even now the
farmers are looking for new hands.
"When I went to Olex," said Mr. Leo,
"the farmers had all the men they
wanted. The pay was good and all were
satisfied. The first hot day several were
taken sick, and others had to leave their
work on account of the beat. After three
or four days the thermometer ran up to
116 in tbe shade at Olex, and none of us
could stand the burning sun. Eight
men had to quit. Four were prostrated
and had to be taken to Arlington for
treatment. I myself was overcome, af
ter an experience which I never shall
forget. . When I first noticed the heat it
did not seem to be intense. Gradually,
though, it became hotter until I thought
my brain was on fire. Then I seemed to
become cooler, and I remembered no
more nntil I found myself on ti e bank
of the creek with several of my fellow
laborers bathing my head. They told
me I had fainted in the field. . -
"During the night at Olex the beat
was something terrific. The mercury
generally stood about 78, and it was im
possible for anyone to sleep. . Tbe smell
of food was simply nauseating, after the
long hot night, and the plates wonld be
left untouched. In the morning it was
simply impossible for any one to eat
breakfast.
"I came away Saturday night, and
eight others . left at tbe same time.
When we were in Arlington we heard
that numbers of men had left other
places, and that the farmers, in order to
obtain help, were offering an advance of
50c a day. The weather up there will
moderate soon, and they will not have
any trouble in getting plenty of help at
the increased pay." Oregdhian, "

learned that DeWitt's Little Early
Risers are 'reliable little pills for regu
lating tbe bowels, curing constipation
