increased output next season.
The first shipment of cranberries
from Coos county this year brought
93.25 per case, but those shipped later

The presence of ' the peach borer is
reported in Douglas county. The grub
not only attacks peach trees, but prune
also, whether grafted on peach or plum
stock. As high as ten grubs are some

hunt for the enemy and dig him out of
the trunk.
Geo. P. McConne'l, the defaulting
grand keeper of records and seals of
the K. of P. grand lodge of Oregon,
pleaded guilty to three indictments
"befo'-e Judge Sears of the cireuit court
at Portland last Saturday and was
sentenced to one, two and three years
in the penitentiary. It is thought he
vill be pardoned. His term of im
prisonment ' virtually amounts to but
three years.
Portland was visited by a high wind

A Barbed-Wire Telephone Line.
The telephone line operated by
the citizens of Heppner is probably
without a counterpart in all the
world. Twenty-five telephones are
on the circuit. In putting in this
service, it was convenient to use a
-Tarbed-wire that was on the fance
in connecting with the eoda factory,
about a half-mile above town. To
all appearances the barbed-wire
transmitted ., the sound as- perfectly
as the copper wire, so it was decided
.to try a line to the home of James
Hager. about three mile9 from town
to whose place there was a barbed
wire almost the entire distance from
Heppner. The result of this experi
ment was very satisfactory, it be
ing said that one talking over the
line can be heard more distinctly
than over any line connected with
-the exchange.
This is a new idea, and may
somewhat reduce tbe expense of
constructing telephone lines. Nearly
every ranch in the bunchgrass
countries of Oregon could easily,
and at a very small expense, secure
telephone connections, as the wire
fence is the only lence in such lo
calities. Largest Mule Deal Ever flade.
The biggest mule deal that ever
took place in this country occurred
at Salt Lake City in 1860, when at
public auction Ben Holiday bought
from Uncle Sam 4,500 head of big
stout Iowa and Missouri mules.
These fine hybrids had been taken
to Utah in the famous expedition
against the Mormons, which crossed
the plains in 1857 under the com
mand of Albert Sidney Johnson.
When the expedition proved a fiz
zle and had to be recalled, the gov
ernment found it had no use for so
many mules and they were conse
quently condemned and ordered
sold. They were put in lots of 50
and sold at prices ranging from $50
to $100 per head. Ben Holiday
had the stuff to pay for the stub
tails and' seeing a speculation in
them he took the whole cavallade
at his own price. On the first day
in June the mules were started on
a drive to California. They were
driven in bands of 500 a wsek a
part and only 500 were kept in
Utah for sale there. The mules
were readily sold in lots to suit
purchasers at the average price of
$500 per head and Holiday cleared
out more than $1,000,000 on the
dicker, which goes down in history
as the biggest mule deal on record.
Was Compelled to Turn Back.
Henry de Windt. the well-known
correspondent of the London Pall
Mall Gazette, is back from the
north, having failed in his attempt
to go from New York to Paris by
land, as commissioned by William
Waldrof Astor. He says of his
failare:
"I felt sure that when I got into
Sibera I would be all right, for I
am thoroughly acquainted with
travel in Sibera. My only misgivings
were about Alaska, but I got
through Alaska all right, crossed
Behriug strait all right, landing in
Sibera at a place called Oumwild
djik, near Marcus bay. There I
was stuck two months, and had a
I rough time of it with the natives,
wun noining to eai dui oear meat.
The only way to get inland on my
journey was by dog trains and I
fouud this could only be done dur
ing the month of April. The Chu
ktchi Indians, who hold the terri
tory in which I landed, are a re
markable race in Borne respects,
though I suppose not different much
from the other tribes in Behring
sea. There is one thing to be said
about them and about Russia
Russia has never been able to sub
due them, and they have success
fully resented any attempt at it.
They live in skin huts amid dirt
and squalor, and are diseased and
disagreeable. I was not sorry to get
away, but I am sorry not to have
been able to accomplish my journey.

Thanksgiving Day Proclamation.
The president has issued the fol
lowing Thanksgiving proclamation:
'By the president of the United
States:
"The people of the Uuited States
should never be unmindful of the
gratitude they owe to the God of na
tions for his watchful cares, which
has shielded them from disaster
and pointed out to them the way of
peace and happiness. Nor should
they ever refuse to acknowledge
with contrite hearts their proneness
to turn away from God's teachings
and to follow with sinful pride after
their own devices.
To the end that these thoughts
may be quickened, it is fitting that,
on a day especially appointed, we
should join together in approaching
the throne of grace with praise and
supplication.
"Therefore, I, Grover Cleveland,
president of the United States, do
hereby designate and set apart
Thursday, the 26th day of the pres
ent month of November, to be kept
and observed as a day of thanks
giving and prayer throughout our
land. On that day let all our people
forego their usual work and oc
cupations and. assemble in their
accustomed places of worship;
let them with one accord render
thanks to the Ruler of the Uni
verse for our perservation'as a na
tion, and our deliverance from every
threatening danger; for the peace
that has dwelt within our bound
aries; for our defense against dis
ease and pestilence during the year
that has passed; for the plenteous
rewards that have followed the la
bors of our husbandmen; and for
all other blessings that have been
vouchsafed to us.
"And let us, through the media
tion of him who has taught us how
to pray, implore the forgiveness of
our sins and a continuation oi
heavenly favor.
"Let us not forget on this day of
thanksgiving the needy, and by
deeds of charity let our offerings of
praise be made more acceptable in
the eight of the Lord .
HIS FUTUhZ3ITCofATION.
One Bad Boy Thought He Would Drive n
Coach and Preach.
Ex-Attorney fioneral Millerwas born
and spent his curly life in a small Xew
York villajre. At the little school
house where ho first learned to read
and play "hookey,"' says the Indian
apolis Sentinel, there was a fellow
pupil who. although about the same
age as Mr. Miller, was noted through
out the village for his pure cussed tiers.
That boy, according to Mr. Miller's
statemenv. would sit up of a-mght to con
coct some scheme to make the people of
the town miserable. He would chase
the cows, stone the dogs and pigs, put
ropes across the path at night, set pins
on the, seats at church and scare the
wits Out of all the old maids for a mile
around. Whenever any devilment was
done it was laid at the door of this one
boy. and usually correctly. At school
he was a terror to all. Stubborn and
defiant, there was no restraining hhn,
and the schoolmaster (was in despair.
One day he thought he would make a
last effort to reform the boy by argu
ment, and he called him up to the
desk.
"Now, Tom," he began, "you are a
bright fellow, but yon are spoiling
your future. Just think what yon can
make of yourself if you only behave
yourself. Xow. have you ever thought
of what you will do when you grow
up to be a nianV
The boy looked at him for a moment,
and then, pie'eing up a straw from the
floor, ho picked his teeth fur a moment,
as though in derp thought.
"Yes." said he. "I "lowed I would
drive a coach an' preach some."'
TALK AS YOU EAT.
In ThU Instance Yonr Topic Are Chosen
for You.
The latest fashionable fad is the con
versation luncheon, which is not to be
despised as an up-to-date mode of en
tertaining. Small tables are used, and
at each guest's plate besides the name
card is placed the menu, with a topic
of conversation written beside each
course. All conversation except that
pertaining to the spcci&l subject is for
bidden, nud in many cases this restric
tion itself makes the luncheon a very
jolly affair. At a recent conversation
luncheon held at Newport the subjects
chosen for conversation were as fol
lows: With the iced bouillon the guests
discussed the question: "Is the mascu
line idea of humor a sort of horse
play?" The conversation with the fish
treated entirely of "the new woman
and the way in which she will clothe
herself." The entree was eaten while
bicycle talcs were being told. With the
sulad was discussed the college-bred
girl. Frozen fruits were eaten while
the conversation turned toward the
weather, and the coffee was sipped
during the intervals of a heated dis
cussion for and against woman suf
frage. A WIm Precaution.
The president of a large accident
company tells this remarkable story
and locates the occurrence in Brooklyn :
"Some time ago a large policy holder
in my company was run over by a trol
ley car and his right leg painfully
crushed. He remained conscious after
the shock for three minutes, during
which time he pulled out his watch
and called the attention of the crowd
to the fact that it was just 15 minutes
to 13 o'clock. His policy expired at
noon, and his foresight was rewarded
by the immediate payment of his week
ly indemnity without controversy or
litigation."
A FULL DAY'S WORK.
What a New England Farmer Accom
plished. Lest some one should think an
Aroostook farmer's life too free and
easy, the Parkhurst correspondent of
the Fort Fairfield Beacon gives this
account of an average day's work dur
ing the potato-digging season: "I went
to bed at 11 p. m. with the conviction
that I must get up at 4 a. m. Qlocal
time). Awoke when the clock struck
2 and dared not go to sleep again for
fear of sleeping over. Jumped out of
bed at 4 o'clock, ran to the barn, dressed
myself as I went, and fed and harnessed
four horses; ran to the house and woke
the old woman (for good reasons farm
ers' wives often sleep with the hired
girl through potato digging); ran to
the spring and back twice; greased the
double wagon; mended a check rein;
unloaded four barrels and a basket of
potatoes and dumped 16 bnrrels; 5,
woke up the crew; 5:30, breakfast;
5:33, ran to the barn nguin, got the
horses on the wagon and started for
the factory; C, arrived at factory,
horses steaming, two acres of teams
ahead of me; everybody swearing;
0:30, lit my pipe; 7, gave some ofythe
boys a lesson in careless language; 8,
lit my pipe again; 9, went into the
boarding house and tried to buzz the
cook; 10, told a big yarn; 11, stole a
bottle of whisky; 12:30. got unloaded,
full asv a starch factory, and ran the
horses all the way home, arriving at
1; had a row with a Frenchman and
forgot to eat dinner; 2, chased four
Arab peddlers out of the field, then
hauled potatoes to the cellar till 7;
8. hod supper, unharnessed and cared
for the horses, went to the spring twice
more, shoveled potatoes in cellar till
9:30, got a chance to kiss the hired girl
twice; 10, went to bed happy.
QUEEN VICTORIA'S BOSS.
She Bad One In Mr. Muaaena, Honae-
keeper at Balmoral.
Queen Victoria has just sustained a
severe loss by the death of Mrs. Mus
sena, who. from time immemorial. Lad
been her housekeeper at Balmoral, says
the London News. Though unknown
to the public n large, she was an im
portant personage in the eyes of every
body connected with the court, as she
was one of the few who had the cour
age to "talk up" to her majesty, and
even on occasion to deliberately "bo-'',
her august mistress. Once when the
queen wanted r certain wnid to whom
she had taken a fancy detailed to the
care o her own room, Mrs. Mussing
j remonstrated in the strongest fashion,
tilling her majesty that it was q-iite
out of order, and she really must l ot
spoil the servants by taking undue no
tice of them. The queen, as visunl.
gave away, and "dear Mrs. Mussel s"
won the day. She was a typical per
sonage of her class, gowned always in
black silk, lace-trimmed apron and
white rap, with corkscrew curls. She
and the queen were excellent friends,
and her majesty used lo deli ht in her
conversation.' She also stood high in
the favor of the royal grandchildren,
who used to Reek her out as soon as
they arrived at the castle. But to the
world at large she wa a holy terror,
and with the servants and members
of the household she was infinitely
more exacting and imperious than the
queen herself.
DID NOT KISS THE BRIDE.
Sooner Than Cauae a Scene the Countable
ComprotnUed for a Small Fee.
A marriage took phu-e in the office of
n justice of the peace in Columbus; O..
n few days ago, and, w hile a most im
pressive ceremony to the contracting
ivtrtics. it had a very humorous side
to the spectators. The couple were evi
dent ly from the rural districts, says
the Troy Times, and wen both sceo
ingly covered with confusion at their
having to stand up before the four or
five presout. ' After the form had boon
read, the blushing jxtir standing baud
in hand, the magistrate announced in
a serious tone that, as it was the cus
tom of the constable to kiss the bride,
she would prepare herself for the os
culation., The constable stepped bold
ly out, and, being a good-looking young
fellow, the young woman seemed not
averse to being kissed. All doubts
of the propriety of the act were soon
set at rest, for the husky groom stopped
before her with an air of determination
upon his face that showed it was life
and death with him. He gave his
bands an imaginary washing and said:
"Squire, this yere lady b'longs to me
now, an what she did afore I took her
ain't my business, but if this constable
is willin', I'll give him $1.50 to call it
off." The server of writs signified his
assent and the jealous countryman
paid the amount, which found its way
over the bar of the nearest saloon a
few minutes after the newly-married
pair departed.
THE SPOTS ON THE SUN.
What the SclcntlnUi Think Aliout Their
Influvure on Our Weather.
The. vexed question of the influence of
sun-spots on the weather see ms to be
as far from settlement to-day as it was
ten or twenty years ago, says the
Youth's Companion. So great au au
thority as Lord Kelvin has reccutly ex
pressed a doubt as to whether the co
incidences noticed by students of litis
subject are not, after all, deceptive and
misleading. Other investigators, how
ever, continue to think that a real con
nection exists between the spotteduess
of the suu and the condition of the
weather on the. earth.
Among iio latest cont ributions to
our knowledge on the subject are those
made by Mr. W. L. Dallas, who has in
vestigated the weather records kept
from 1856 to 1S79 on board ships in the
Bay of Bengal, and by Dr. P. Pol is, who
has reviewed the records of 04 years
at Aix-la-Chappelle. Mr. Dallas con
cludes that, as far as the Bay of Bengal
is concerned, the heat is greatest when
sttn-spots are most numerous. Dr.
Polis, on the other hand, finds That nt
Aix-la Chuppclle the warmest seasons
formerly coincided with l iie sniailest
number of sun-spots, but 1lu.t i-irjeo
1S7S a change has apparent Jy occurred
and mw it is hottest when the suu is
most spotted. Dr. I'olis also finds that
the number of thunder storms gener
ally increases with a decrease of the
sun-spots.
These facts and inferences are partic
ularly interesting just now, fceOause
from this time on we are likely to see
the sun-spots rapidly decreasing in siz--and
number for several years to come.
TWO REASONS.
The Judge's Able Support of Hlft Own De
cision. At a circuit court held some years
ago in a western state an action of
ejectment was tried "by the court with
out a jury."' The decision rendered was
couched in such a way that it eatised
considerable amusement.
The uit was brought, says the
Youth's Companion, by a religious so
ciety to recover possession of a ceme
tery. The defendant was a physician
in active practice, who, as one cf aoom
mittce appointed by the church, had
bought the ground for the use of tl'e
society.
Afterward he severed his connection
with the society, and it was found that
he had taken the title in his own name,
and intended to appropriate the prem
ises for his private use. The defendant
insisted that h; had bought the ground
in his own right after his relations to
the society had ceased.
The court, after hearing the evidence
and arguments, proceeded to state tie
grounds for his decision, and ordered
judgment for the plaintiff. Whereupon
the
oeienaants counsel arose, and
asked the court to stale more fully the
reasons for the decision.
"Certainly," said his honor, prompt ly
"But as you have heard what I have said,
I have only two additional reasons to
give: One is that the church seems to
need a cemetery, and the other that the
doctor has failed to show that his prac
tice is sufficiently large to make it
l-ecessary for him to keep a burying
ground of his own."
CHARACTER OF ISABELLA.
The Beautiful Consort of Ferdinand Who
Helped Colatnbuc
Isabella was a lady, she was a queen,
and, above all she was an autocrat.
Gracious and gentle in her manner,
says R. Ulick Burke's "A History of
Spain," she brooked no opposition from
prin jo or jv.-cr, and she mxhi made it
known and f.Jt throughout Spain that,
although t-ho was tho daughter of JoUn
II. and tho sister of IIe::ry IV.. her
will was law in Castilt?. Beautiful,
virtuous. discreet, with that highest ex
pression of proud dignity that i; sec a in
a peculiar simplicity of manner, w-tJi
a hard heart and a f ;iir ooutrnanc? . an
Inflexible will, and a mild manner
Eoaiothin;? of a formalist, more of a
bigot Isabella united much that was
charnctorUtio of old Ca -tile with not a
little that was characteristic of new
Spain. And if her boldness was in
herited from the Cid. her bigotry was
bequeathed to Philip II.
No man can read the history of the
V.mes without being struck by the enor
mous personal influence of Isabella.
An accomplished horsewoman, a tireless
traveler, indefatigable in her attention
to business of state, the qnocn with her
court moved about from place to place,
swift to punish crime and to encourage
virtue, boldly composing the differences
snd compelling the submission of rival
nobles, frowning upon the laxity of the
clergy, denouncing the heresy of the
people and laying a heavy hand upon
enemies of every degroe and evildoers of
every class. In Andalusia the unaccus-to:-ed
and unexpected presence of Uie
sovereign was everywhere productive
of peace and order. Kvoii in the remotest
districts of linlicia the royal power was
fo!t. Over Hf;y fort rosso, thestrong
hul 1 i f !:a!sr!itly r.brrs. wore razd to
tho ;riv.;t:i !, and o:i,- thousand five hun
dred Jio".ieii:Thwaysicn wore forced to
fly tho kingdom.
Knights of old crusaders who went to
conquer the world, could not hope to
succeed unless they were in virile, hearty
health. A man cannot face difficulties if
his stomach isn't in good order. Dis
ordered digestion will make a sluggish
coward out of any man. It makes his
mind stagnant, and he cannot think
quickly enough to accomplish anything.
It makes his 'movements slow, and takes
all of the snap out of him. Every man
in business in America has a fight on his
hands just as much as ever had belted
knight. It is a matter of life and death,
just the same with him as it was with the
crusader. Indigestion and all the ills
that go with it, most frequently start in
constipation. That keeps all sorts of im
purities in the body, forces them into the
blood, and so deranges the whole system.
Constipation is one of the commonest
ills, and to it are traceable most of the
disorders that make people sick. Once
it gets a firm hold on a man, it is most
difficult to overcome it Temporary re
lief can be obtained in a thousand ways.
There are medicines on the market that
will help as long as you take them.
There is only one remedy that is a real
remedy that you don't have to keep on
taking forever. That is Dr. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets. The "Pellets" are
tiny, sugar-coated granules, mild and
efficient in their action. Thev effect a
permanent cure.. You don't become a
slave to their use, as with other pills.
