The newspaper , office . conies In touch with every side of life. This , was exemplified to quite a degree ou stant use from those desiring to know the various results prior to the press hour. Many desired to know who won the . world's championship at base ball. Others wanted to know whether or not Johnson would be able to retain the world's championship In the prize ring over Ketrhell. Others want ed to know the results of the football game at Caldwell, where our La Grande boys were victorious. No less than one-half a dozen inquiries were sot so much Interested in the result of the score at Caldwell as they were to know if any of our boys were in jured. Several in the country wanted to know over the phone how the local option cases in the circuit court re sulted. One phone desired to know If Billy Boy had yet been captured. There were so many events happening Saturday that it reminded the force of an evening following an election. To those who do not enthuse over sports and cannot see how any one can become interested, would be sur prised to know how many are. . Saturday once more demonstrated the advantages of an evening paper. There is no comparison from a news standpoint between an evening and a morning service. . Especially Is this true on the Pacific coast where the difference of time between Washing ton, from whence comes the great vol ume of national news, the Bame from New York, the commercial center of the country. From Chicago the differ ence In time Is two hours. When It is 2:30 in Washington, D. C. it is 12:30 on the Pacific coast and when it is 2:30 in Chicago It is i:30 p. m. It can readily be seen that the evening pap ers through the advantages of time and well organized telegraph service aided by the linotype machine, covers the field of the day on all important transactions. The morning papers Rovers the criminal field possiby to a greater extent for the greater num ber of crimes are generally commit ted during the night time. Hence ev ening papers often scope the morn ing papers even in this class of news for often these crimes are not discov ered until daylight S, .v JUST A SOCIAL HOAX. New York has been gold-bricked. The game was put up on the astute ond Bophlstocated metropolitans dur ing the Hudson-Pulton relebratton and the manner of it is laughable. , -The medium of deceipt was the use of attractive great names, and the ; oc casion an event alleged to be socially .exclusive to the point of aristocratic frigidity. ' v - The story runs thus: It appears -that there once existed In Albany a military organization known as the "Burgesses." It was the cream of masculine society In the capital city -of the Empire State. But all "unbe knownst" to the elect of Gotham who believe that the Harlem marks the boundary ot barbarism, and beyond that is savagery, that august organiz ation had fallen into decay; tt had at tained to that state what a prominent New Yorker might once have describe ed as "innocuous desuetude." Its re putation, however served 09 capital for the sold-brkk enterprise. : !

Ja. ;Otls Woodward, a man about town from the metropolis, were the promo ters, executioners and beneficiaries jof the scheme. These were the self -j constituted officers of that ancient and honorable body, which had once J been known as the 'Burgesses," and 'as such they decided that elite New j York would appreciate the honor . of I their interfalnnient ' Accordingly proper arrangements were made for a grand Hudson-Fulton ball under the auspices of the "Burgesses." Handsomely engraved ..-jvitsi.ous were issued to the niascul , ine notables, naval and military, for jeign and domestic, whose name was legion in and about New York, and on those invitations appeared the : names of Andrew Carnegie. August j Belmont, Chauncey M, Depew. Gen. : Nelson A. Miles, J. Plerpont Morgan, j Levi P. Morton and others equally j prominent, as honorary life members jof the hospitable and socially inclln jed "Burgesses." ( . The bait was swallowed, hook and alL The attendance was all that j could be desired. . There waa a ple ' thora of aristocratic chivalry which .was speedily and effectually plucked I to the financial advantage of the hon orable officers of the long defunct "Burgesses." The charges at the cloak room were $3 for checking a coat and $1 for checking a hat. Then at the entrance to ih hail there was a bevy of good looking wo men, whose obvious duty it was to see that each guest was presented with a boutonnlere, for which the guest was politely requested to surrender an other dollar. Upon this the guest was allowed to enter into the Joys prepared for him from the beginning. As soon as the ball room was en tered the hoax was discovered as a matter of course, and the aristocrat ic suckers went away from there as soon and with as little fuss as pos sible, the route of exit having been considerately planned to avoid the In coming, throng. The reason for this quiet and unobtrusive retreat was ob vious. It was a clear case of social bunco, which New York suffered, and from the "Jay" town of Albany I And to make the humilation deeper, the chief promoters were a grave-digger ahd two doctors one corn and . the other horse. , .

Sick Kidneys Weaken the Whole Body Jiske You III, Languid And Depressed. - Sick kidneys weakea the bodv through the continual drainage of life giving albumen from the blood Into (he urine, and the substitution of pois onous uric acid that goes broadcast through the system, sowing the sseds of disease.
