A REAL XEMS It TREAT.
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

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. : !

;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. , . V

Sick Kidneys Weaken the Whole Body

Sick kidneys weakea the bodv
through the continual drainage of life
giving albumen from the blood Into

through the system, sowing the sseds
of disease. ' Loss ot albumen causes
weakness, languor, depression. Uric
poisoning causes rheumatic pain, ner

gravel and kidney stones. The proper
treatment Is a kidney treatment, and
the best remedy. Is Doan's Kidney
