' . -"' Tbe regular ouatonfary growl about the aidewalka ia being beard in St. Helena, and we don't wonder at it. They are pretty bad; the nail etiok up just far enough to oatch some uu wary pedestrian, whose thought are soaring above the common plane of idewalka. We have noticed a good many little aooidenta which have caused the unfortunate to utter tome very bad oatha, meanwhile we hope the proper authorities will give aome leisure time to this and grant a much needed relief. Mr. George Merrill olaima that he is not looking tor an offloe, and that he ia not a people's party man; yet he told the editor of this paper aome time ' ago that only for tbe faot that be wanted to visit the world' fair next year, and ahould he have been unfor tunate enough to have been eleoled, thereby preventing bia attendance at the fair, he would have been a candi date on the people's party tioket for county judge at the late eleotion. We presume by thia that he bad the reina of tbe party in hia hands, aa be oould in no otber way have controlled the nomination for judge. Consistency, where art thou? As has been given out a formal or ganication of an Odd Fellow' lodge was perfected In St. Helens last Sat urday night. The omoers of the grand lodge were present and conducted the ceremony In a rery impressive man ner, In the evening the ateamer Cricket brought a party of forty-two of the fraternity down from Portland to take part in this proceeding, which arrived at 9 o'clock. Immediately alter their arrival businesa oommenoed at the newly furnished Odd Fellows' hall, and a lodge of twenty-four oharter member was Instituted. After the organization waa completed the newly made member and the visitors repaired to the Oriental hotel, where an excel lent supper had been prepared for the occasion, and partook of the' good thing of the land. The visitor rep resented nearly every lodge in Port land and a number of them made very enoouraging speeches during the even ing. All aeemed well pleaaed with the future outlook for St Helen lodge No. 117, and at 2 1 80 o'clook in the morning took their departure for home, carrying with them the thanks of the St. Helens members for their atten dance and aasistano in planting such a noble Institution In our midst TJie new lodge haa a splendid ball, nicoly fitted up, and the future for it look extremely bright. The regular meet ing night is on Saturday of each week. The little ateamer Cricket, owned by Chief of Police Spencer of Portland, brought a jolly orowd of exoursionists down from thatcity last Sunday, where they enjoyed themselves during the day in a way moat befitting. They spent most of the day at the grove near "Nigger" creek, and about 4 o'clock in the evening they came in to the ball ground, where they established a temporary oroquet and baseball gound. Two nine were chosen with an equal number of ladies, and "play ball" waa called by the umpire, while a number of othera engaged in croquet In the ball game nine inning were played, and the score was 22 to 20 very good for the ladies, as some of them seemed to have played the game before. At 7 : 30 the crowd boarded the ateamer and were off for Portland. Among the orowd was a sister and nephew of Mrs. C. L. Colburn of this plaoo. The following clipping from the Mc Minnville Begiater ia self explanatory: "We have been looking for the man who could surpaaa Bill Nye in exag geration. Here it is : 'A farmer in Marion county says be baa a anake whioh awallowed an eighKlay clock in Auguat, 1887. Until the clock run dowu its striking was regular and its tioking could be heard. A short time ago the farmer found aome eggs that had been deposited in a bole by tbe reptile and on breaking them open found that eaoh contained an open faced watch in fi rat-class running order. He (old the watobe at a big profit and has now given the make a post auger in the hope that it will produo enough corkscrew to enable blm to tart a wboleaale drugstore.' " Mr. Bolt Havird, of Enterprise, Co lumbia oounty, has been in the oity tbi week for the purpose of investigat ing a olaim against the estate of bis stepfather, Mr. C. Stehman, deceased It appears that when Havird was quite young, some thirty odd years ago, his father died and Stehman married the widow. It alao appears that Steh man borrowed the money from tbe Havird estate, and there ia nothing to show that he returned it Now, that Stehman ia dead and has no further use for tbe money, Havird intend to tee if it oannot be made a claim againat his estate, presumably with a view to protecting it against other claims. Sa lem Democrat Attorney W. B. Dillard, well known to the people of .Columbia county, re turned to St. Helens last Saturday af ter an absence of aeveral years.

Compson, of the Oregon National Guard, was in St. Helens yesterday, and in company with Mr. A. H. Blaketloy .visited Camp Gibbon, a mile out of town, on a trip of inspection. The general ha visited and inspected every company in the state, and say that in most case tbey are in very good condition, yet some are badly in need of clothing, appar atus, etc The object of hia visit to Camp Gibbon wo to select a suitable plaoe for the encampment next year, at which time the entire militia force of the state will go into camp together. The Bear Chase. A report reached town Tueaday evening that there were two large brown bear in a canyon juat back of town about a mile. Immediately a posse of "tbe braves were organized, consisting of etc. seventeen, all to gether armed with guna, clubs.knives (to soalp with), and at once atarted in purauit of the large game, accompan ied by (omething leaa than a dozen of St Helen' large oanine population. whioh were never known to shirk their duty while on the trail (to the station). At Houlton a guide waa aeoured and the would-be oaptort proceeded to the spot where tbe beasts had laat been seen. . No sooner had that place been reached than tbe dogs took the scent and were off in a jiffy down tbe gulch, through the tbick brush, over logs, cloaely followed by Kendall and other of the bravest. From the noise made by the dogs and amid the shouts made by the men to eaoh other of "All is well," the chaae was fairly on. After some time a wild cat waa sighted on the higher ground by one who did not venture into the jungle, but fearing it might attraot the attention of tbe dog be did not shoot A little later another of the conseva- tive onet discovered a bear about mid way of a tall fir, and the pursuers were at onoe summoned to the spot of obser vation, where "Make ready, take aim, and firel" waa In order. The echo of the shot had not died out before some one rushed headlong dowa the em' bankment to the foot of the tree to take tbe scalp and dreas the wounds, but beheld tbe bear did not drop. The gunner being satisfied that be bored the bear through to daylight concluded that he had made a mistake; but juat at tbia point another saw (?) a bear jump out of a tree (in fact bears were jumping in all directions) closely fol lowed by a aeoond one, and made across toward Germany Hill oemetery, and the doga again gave chase. Tbey did not go far,however,unlil darkneas came on, and they returned to the hunters for fear of getting lost out in that thickly inhabited country of bears, cougars, wildcats, and aection men After a little rest and speculation as to who was the biggest sucker, the crowd returned borne having had some of the most violent exercise tbey had enjoyed for some time, and to geteven on the "bear" they made "beer" suffer on their return to town. While at Big Island, Va., laat April, I waa taken with a very sovere attack of diarrhoea. I never bad it worse in my life. I tried aeveral old-time remi- dies, auch aa blackberry wine, pare- gorio and laudanum without getting any relief. My attention waa then called to Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhosa Remedy by Mr. B. C Tinsley, who had been handling it there, and in l9s than five minutes after taking a small dose I was entirely relieved. O. G. Bubfobd, Harris Creek, Amherst Co., Va.
