FIRST GOLD BRICK
FROM OGLE MINES
i zz
Promoters Arc Satisfied With
Results and Will Resume
Work in Spring.
The first gold brick to come from
the Ogle Mountain mines was brought
in by J. B. Fnirclough, P. A. Fair
clough, L. 0. Gerber, James Hatton,
J., R. Wolf and John Francis, who are
now in the city. They left the mines
in charge of one man, and will go back
in about two weeks to resume work.
The brick is a small one, but the
quality of the gold is fine, and the
miners are more than satisfied with
the showing made since the install
ment of the new 5-stamp mill, which
was operated six days, producing an
average of $G0 per day on low grade
ore. The mine is already on a paying
basis, but the test is not a fair one, as
Work so far has been up hill business,
as the ore had to brought down through
the dump.
Results have shown that there Is
more free milling ore at Ogle than
- was expected and less concentrates
In the Spring work will be commenced
, steadily and on a large scale. There is
enough ore now on the dump to run
the mill for several months. The Ogle
Mountain mine is the first in Clack
amas county to reach an advanced
stage of operation, and the promoters
are perfectly satisfied with the show
ing that has been made.

MOLALLA FARMERS SWINDLED.
Clever Impostor Secures Much Money
and Disappears.
Several farmers of the Molalla sec
tion were recently the victims of a
clever impostor who passed himself
off as a physician, claiming to be a
specialist on diseases of the eye, ear
and nose. The fellow was well-dressed
and of prepossessing appearance.
After diagnosing the ailment of his
prospective patient, the doctor in
formed his victims that there was a
business side to the transaction, and
required a deposit ranging from $25
to $75, according to the character of
the trouble to be treated. Permanent
cures were positively assured, the
grafter aggreeing to forward his won
derful preparations as soon as he
could visit his office in the city but the
medicine has failed to arrive.
Several cases are reported where
prominent farmers were buncoed out
of sums aggregating several hundreds
of dollars. The impostor has complete
ly disappeared.

effort to arouse the farmers on
the subject of frnit pests and the ne
cossity of driving them out without

plain the law and other features con
nected with his position, without
charge to the farmers.
BENSON IS A CANDIDATE.
to be
Roseburg Man Would Like
Secretary of State.
F?ank W. Benson, of Roseburg, has
announced his candidacy for Secre
tary of State on the Republican ticket,
under the direct primary law. Mr.
Benson is an attorney and is well
known throughout thev state, having
been a resident of this county for the
past 25 years. He served the county
two terms as School Superintendent

being admitted to the bar. He has
never been defeated for public office,

The TarantnU Killing Wlipi,
The turantulu Hller is a bustling,
nnquiet creature. When running on the
jTouml its wings vibrate continuously.
vVhen It sights its prey It flies in cir
lies tiruuuJ It. The tarantula trem
blos violently , now runs and hides;
now, rising rampant, shows signs of
tight. The watchful huntress finds a
favorable moment, darts upon Its vic
tim with curved body and thrusts in
its sting if possible into the soft ab
domen. Often the spider is at once
paralyzed, but a second and even a
third wound Is sometimes necessary,
The victor seizes Its motionless prey
with Its Jaws and drags It to a hole
previously dug. She thrusts it In, de
posits an egg upon it and covers it up.
In this case the bulk of the tarantula
insures sufficient food for the off
spring, and one alone is provided, as
seems to be the case with the cicada
storing wasps. But the mud dauber
and her Ilk, which select smaller prey,
garner many, rarely sealing a cell ere
it Is quite f ull.-U. C. McCook in Har

In one province through which we
passed the women use a turquoise
studded halo as a headdress. In Lassa
a fillet ornamented in the same way
is bound close down over their hair,
fluffed out on either side, and falls
down over the Bhoulders. It Is one of
the most becoming ways of doing the
hair that I have ever seen, and for a
certain type the entire dress of a wo
man of Iiiissa would be a becoming
costume for a fancy dress ball at
home. The dress of the men and the
women is very similar. There is a sin
gle undergarment and 'one heavy na

and usually patched, which both sexes
pull in around the waist with a girdle,
the men pouching It at the waist to
form the only pocket that they use.

When the kidneys are sick,
Nature tells you all about it.

Any urinary trouble tells of kid

Doan's Kidney Pills cure all kid

Mrs. Wm. Rainwater, residing at
903 East First St., Albany, Or., says:
"My kidneys troubled me off and on
for eight years. Every t'me I con
tracted a cold it settled in my kidneys
causing my back to ache often go
badly that I could hardly get about
to attend to my household duties.
Accmpanying this was a very annoy

and took a number of highly recom
mended remedies but the relief I ob

Earthquakes generally do their work
with great rapidity, but there are ex
ceptions. While Caracas and Lisbon
were destroyed In a few minutes, the
Calabrlan earthquakes beginning In
1783 lasted four years. Earthquakes
travel across the earth at , velocities
varying between several hundred and
several thousand feet a second, the
greater the Intensity of the shock the
greater being the velocity. The sea
waves that frequently accompany
earthquakes also travel at tremendous
speeds. A submarine earthquake naar
the coast of Japan in 1854 gave rise to
sea waves which traversed the whole
breadth of the Pacific at the rate of
870 miles an hour. At Slmoda, Japan,
the waves from this earthquake were
thirty feet high. At San Diego, Cal.,
they were only six. inches high.
A Peratatent Flarhter.
The measures of Wilberforce in the
British house of commons for the abol
ishing of the British slave trade had a
hard struggle before they finally pre
vailed. On Feb. 15, 1805, Wilberforce
moved "without entering Into any ar
gument" for a bill to abolish the slave
trade after a limited time and for a
committee to consider its propriety,
He had been introducing sucb a bill
almost every year for fifteen years, al
though bis twelve resolutions against
the traffic were carried in 1789 without
a division. But year after year the bill
came to wreck, either In the house of
lords or the commons, suffering defeat
In 1708 because several of its support
ers had gone to see a new comic opera.
It was doomed to disaster again in
1805, but finally triumphed in 1807.
The Mexican Bridegroom.
The bridegroom in Mexico finds mar
riage a very costly business. He Is ex
pected to buy the trousseau, and he is
fortunate If he can satisfy the extrava
gance sanctioned by custom and
prompted by ' ardent passion. Young
men from the country are said to be
often seen in the City of Mexico pur
chasing all sorts of finery for the la
dles of their choice, and the spectacle
they present as they consult the meas
urements, which they carry with them
for all sorts of garments, Is very
amusing.
