Last Saturday afternoon she was at home to callers and about sixty of her friends called to offer congratulations to thsj ripe old age, and to have a friendly chat with the genial old lady. This morning she granted an interview with an Observer representative and talked In a reminicent way of her arrival in the Grande Ronde alley, forty years ago. When the mule train made up in' Iowa, slowly wended its w'v up the Ronde valley towards La Grande, they had bien seventeen weeks on the trail.

" Father Time has left few of his - marks. She reads, talks and hears like a person of fifty and to look at; her beaming face reminds one of a person of middle age rather than one who is creeping near the century mark. During the interview the conversation drifted to the late Bishop Morris. She takes considerable pride in stating that that saintly man was an intim ate friend. The two attended the same country school together in Westtown, Pennyslvania. Here they studied to ether, played together, grew to young girl and boyhood. At an early age both came west and Grandma has kept close track of . the Bishop, and was sorely grieved at his death. She rode on the first 16 miies of railroad that was built in the United States, and has since seen its growth westward and remembers dis tinctly when the smoke of the first engine was seen in this state. . .

We hope this ex ponent of early pioneer life may remain in our midst for a long time to come. LOST Gentleman's red leather purse containing card and five dollar,; gold piece.

Voliva, however, says that he will not be allowed to speak in the taber nacle, and if he holds the meeting he has called, he must address the assembly in a vacant lot. Voliva has also forbidden any more money to be sent to the Apostle. Longview, Tex., April 9 Prophet Dowie appears to be weakening under the stra'n. This morning he acted more like a spoiled child than leader. He ordered, break fast three times and threw the viands from the window in a fit of rage, finally eating some Scotch porage. milk and oranges.' He trusts no one but Descin Parker.

Everyone supposed that the fifth Vis count died a bachelor and childless, and a grandson of th . third Viscount was re garded as heir-at-law. Then came the announcement that at the age of 72 or 73, cn January 6, 1893. the decjajed nobleman had been married at the Bath registry office to Mary Emily Elizabeth Howard, spinster, aged 32, of Lydiard. The registrar who performed the ceremony is still living in retirement at Bath, and the three witnesses of the marriage who scrupulously regarded his lordship's wish for privacy, are all living. Lord and Lady Bolingbroke had lived in Bath under different noms-ds-plume.

THE FUNDAMENTAL TRUTH The fundamental Osteopathic idea is that the body is a complete institution, made by the Creator with ample facilities for remedying its own ills as long as its structure remains unchanged. Sit with your legs crossed for a half hour. ' The pressure upon nerves and blood vessels which results causes the feet to go asleep. Pressure is crowding the structures. The feet are forced into a state of incipient ill health. ' Pressure is the sole cause; and all of us know enough to change position. Whenever you thus change your position you are. even if unconsciously, endorsing Osteopathic treatment you are yourself an Osteopath. You remove the pressure and straighten out your legs, giving the blood a chance to past back and forth naturally and the nerves to act normally. These are precisely the things which the Osteopath does, and upon which he de pends for the relief of suffering'and the cure of disease. " You perhaps do not see how definite disease can be similar to the case of your foot when it it "asleep"? Every part of the body, be it remembered, is under the absolute control of nerves and blood vessels of nerves alone, in fact fir the caliber of blood vessels it gov erned by nerves too. .'
