order a set, and if any of our friends
Lvrant to join us they can do so, and save
a little in trouble and expense. See the
advertisement elsewhere and come in

The Asylam.
The Dalles, Or., Feb. 27, 1893.
Editou Ciirosiclk :
On the 32d inst. you referred to Mr.
Irvine's place on Chenoweth creek as
bein; the proper place to locate the in
sane aylmn for Eastern Oregon. Hav
ing teen most of Eastern Oregon, I
certainly agree with yon as to its being
just the place to locate it, and so will
every one else that' is well acquainted
with Oregon east of the Cascade mount
ains ; and as for a healthiul climate,
convenience, pure water and location,
there certainly is no place in the dis
trict with all these advantages. Then
why should we not take steps at once to
secure the location of the asylum at this
place? As this matter is of great im
portance, I would like to have the ex
pression of the people at large, and as
soon as possible take' the necessary Bteps
to complete arrangements for its con
struction. Come, set your shoulder to
the wheel and give us a lift.

A Cat Ranch.
ABtorian.
Cats are in demand in Wallowa county.
A Prairie creek farmer went to Joseph
the other day and gathered up every cat
he could find in the town, irrespective
of age, color, sex; or general nativity.
He explained to the- wondering specta
tors of his collection, .that the squirrels
are beginning to appear, and that a herd
of cats on a ranch is a better invest
ment than poison Jin the determined war
that has to be made on Wallowa county's
pests. What a pity it is, after all, that
Jim Wardner didn't establish, that cat
ranch over on Puget Sound S '
Sank In a Quicksand.
A French coaatg-oardsman named
Mainvieille met his death in a re
markable manner on the Mediterra
nean coast, near the month of Aude
He was going his rounds with a com
rade when the latter, who was a few
steps behind, saw Mainvieille sink sud
denly into some quicksands. He went
down so rapidly that' he was unable to
sieze a stick held ont to him, and in a
few minutes had disappeared completely
from sight. "
The other man ran for assistance, but
it was found impossible to find even the
man's body, as the sea, which was very
rough, was throwing np sand in large
quantities on the spot. St.' James' Ga
zette.
A Battlefield Belle.
' A valuable battlefield relic was recent
ly found near the city. It is an eighteen
carat gold case watch, manufactured by
the Tobias Watch company, Liverpool,
the case being No. 8,868. It was plowed
np one day last week by Mr. Davis on
the old breastworks in Coke's district,
Cobb county. The case is heavy and
comparatively uninjured, but the rust
has completely eaten the hinges np. : The
covers were both found, but were sepa
rated from the .case. ; It is heavily jew
eled and was no donbt a very fine watch

The Poor They Have Not with Them,
. At the anion religious ' meeting at
Vanlue Thanksgiving day a1 collection
was taken for the relief of the poor and
needy. . This money was placed in the
hands of a committee of ladies, and now
they come forward and report that they
can find neither poor: nor needy in the
village or vicinity, and don't know what
to do with the funds. Cor. Pittsburg
Dispatch. '
A Cartons Orange Tree.
H. H. McClure has produced a curios
ity in the shape of an orange tree, which
in all probability ia not exceeded by
anything of its kind in this or any other
country. Mr. McClure calls it . bis
"World's Fair- Tree," and intends, if
possible, 'to place iton exhibition at
Chicago. - The tree ia budded with no
less than thirty-one different varieties of
citrus fruits, including lemons, shad
docks and most of the fine varieties of
oranges. The bads on the tree are only
two years old, yet many of them are
fruiting. Apopka (Fla.) Advertiser.
To win a bet of $1,000, Baron Paul de

There's a good deal of guarantee busi
ness in the store keeping of today. It's
too exceesive. Or too reluctant. Half
the time it means nothing. Words
only words. . '
This offer to refund the money, or to
pay a reward, is made under the hope
that you won't want your money back,
and that you won't claim the reward.
Of course.
So, whoever is honest in making it,
and work e not on his own reputation
alone, but through the local dealer,
whom you know, rnnst have simething
he has faith in back of the guarantee.
The business wouldn't stand a year
without it.
What is lacking is confidence. Back
of that, what is lacking is that clear
honesty which ie above the "average
practice."
Dr. Pierce's medicines are guaranteed

Kataral Process for Mlllias; Gold.
A. new process of free-milling gold works
is in course of construction on the Lake of
the Woods," in the province of Ontario.
The mill and - experimental - adjuncts
have cost $35,000, It is designed to
treat ores by the same method that na
ture does, only it will perform, in 24
hours' work what nature requires ages
to accomplish. The parties, interested
positively refuse to discuss this method
in print.'pending the practical operation
of the mill, which will be commenced
in a few days, but Mr. Cowlea ventures
the .opinion that it will ' revolutionize
milling and unlock the gold in the re
fractory orea of America, thus com
pletely solving the greatest . problem
that has ever engrossed the attention of
miners and the general public. The
results of practical experiments will be
awaited with deep interest. ' .
