A MODERN MIRACLE
"Tiuly miraculous seemed th. recovery
of Mrs. Mollie Holt of this place," writes
J. O. R. Hooper, Woodford, Tenn "she
wa. so wasted by coughing up pus from
her lungs. Doctors declared her end so
near that her family had watched by her
bed-side forty-eight hours; when, at my
urgent request Dr. King's New Discovery
wa. given her, and with the astonishing
result that improvement began, and con
tinued until she finally completely recov
ered, and i. a healthy woman today."

United State. Circuit Judga William B.
Gilbert will leave Thursday for San Fran
cisco, where he goes to hold a session of
the United States'Circuit Court of Ap
peats. Judge Gilbert will be in San
F rancisco for about two months before
returning to Portland, and in that time
will hear and dispose of a great number
of important case, that are now waiting
on appeal from the various federal' court.
in the western circuit.
, Judge Gilbert will hold a conference
with Assistant Attorney-General F. J.
Heney when he reaches San Francisco,
and at that time will discuss the Oregon
land-fraud cases, and in all probability
make arrangemwiM f-r th: r-"rB'n" '
the trials hvPortland at an early dati.
Judge Gilbert said yesterday afternoon
that he would hold this conference as soon
as he reached San Francisco, and after
discussing the matter with Mr. Heney,
either he or Mr. Heney would acquaint
Captain Sladen, clerk of .the court, of the
result of the conference and authorize
him to make sueh announcement regard
ing the trials a. might be fit.
Mr. Heney will return to Portland in a
short time, in all probability, and take up
again th. management of the land-fraud
cases. It is settled that he will direct and
manage personally all of the important
cases yet remaining on the docket. He
may be assisted in these by the District
Attorney here, but it i. thought that h.
will try th. greater 'number oT the- im
portant cases alone. After he has finished
with these it i. possible that th. minor
cases may be turned over to the car. of
be newly appointed district attorney.
It is thought that Binger Hermann's
Oregon trial will bo held prior to the hear
'ng of the case against him at Washing'
ton. Mr. Hermann evidences no great
anxiety to com. to trial and it i. not prob
able thit his case here will come up un
til after the settlement of the charges
against him at Washington.

THE MllifS
Messrs Ward a'nd Crabill. the owners
of the Muir mine up the river were in the
city yesterday making the necessary
arrangements for the immediate resump
tion of work and took a drew of ' men up
with them this morning to the mines. .
They are preparing to have their con
cent rating mill shipped to Hilgard and
hauled In on the snow, so they will not be
Relayed by bad roads in the spring. It is
their intention to have the mill already for
operation by June. These gentlemen
knjw they have fine property and have
great faith in that mining district and wil
do their part to assist in the development.
AGENT SHORT ON (ASH
Waitsburg, Wash.. Jan. 24. Will Dick
son, late agent for the O. R. & N. at North
Powder, Ore., has been appointed to the
place made vacant by the suicide of J. O.
Hayne. on Thursday of last week. Ad
ditional particulars regarding the cause of
young Haynes' rash act reveal, the fact
that ne was short in hi. account, with th.
Pacific Express Company to the amount
of $200. The auditor.came to check him
up on that day. and when the balance was
struck showing $200 due-' the company,
before unlocking the safe, Haynes said";
"I am all in. I have used the money andM
cannot replace it." Before the aston
ished official had time to recover from
the shock and surprise occasioned by the
confession, the agent had slipped out, and
the next instant a shot rang out from the
adjoining building where his lifeless body
wa. found with a bullet through his tem
ple. It is difficult for hi. friends to ac
count for th. shortage notwithstanding
his misfortune, in having sickness, for he
came to Waitsburg but little more than a
year ago having $800 cash of his own to
start on.
