for the branch insane asylum. Ore
gonian. The Harney Times announces that it
will help bear the dear old democratic

McClure's Magazine for Eebruary will
contain an exhaustive study, profusely
illustrated, of the life and character of
Philip D. Armour. Without slighting
Mr. Armour's business genius, and the
mammoth enterprises which that genius
has originated and conducted, the article
will give special attention to a less
known side of Mr. Armour's character,
his beneficence, and the far from small
enterprises in which that has fructified.
The article will get an added interest
from its pictures, many of which will be
from special drawings made on the
scene.

TO THE RESCUE.
Tibbets and Party Always Ready to
- - .Fight Bobbers.
The late robberies have put everybody
in an apprehensive etate of mind, and
figuratively speaking, all have their
hands on their revolver. So when No.
1, coming in late this morning, stopped
about a half mileshortof the depot,
Tibbets, the plucky little delivery man
for the express company, easily ima
gined the train was being field np by
robbers. He, with two or three others,
secured guns some way, boarded the
switch engine, and were soon en route
to the rescue. Arriving close to the
scene they got off from the engine and
bravely marched with guns ready for
instant use to the aid of the passengers.
The latter took Tibbets and his men for
the robbers and those who happened to
have guns were getting them out and
preparing to shoot. Both ' parties then
simultaneously became frightened and
ran in opposite directions. . When the
train finally pulled np at the depot,
the trouble was explained. The cyl
inder head of the locomotive had
been blown out just short of reach
ing the depot, and the .train had to
stop. The passengers were informed
that the supposed robbers were their in
tended allies, and Tibbett's party soon
found out the peaceable intentions of the
passengers. Both had a good laugh on
the other and the incident ended.
None Bat Ayer's at the World's Fair.
Of all t ie blood-purifiers in existence
Ayer's Sarsaparilla was the only prepa
ration of the kind permitted to occupy
space and to be exhibited at the world's
fair, Chicago, notwithstanding the most
strenuous efforts on the part of other
manufacturers for a showing. The rule
adopted by the world's fair officials for
bidding the entry ot patent medicines
and nostrums was waived in the case of
J. C. Ayer & Co., Lowell, Mass., in a
decision substantially as follows:
"Ayer's Sarsaparilla is not a patent
medicine. It does not belong to the list
of nostrums. It is here on its merits."
State Tax Levy.
Yesterday the state board made the
levy for the state tax. The levy was
fixed at 4 3-10 mills on the dollar of
assessable property. On the basis of
valuation fixed by tbe state board of
equalization, this will yield $722,000 in
round figures. Last year the levy was
fixed at 7 mills on the dollar of taxable
property which yielded an income of
$1,069,000. This year's levy did not in
clude the expenditure for the new insane
asylum in Eastern Oregon, nor for the
two wings to the state penitentiary, as
the assessments provided for in tbe ap
propriations have already been made.
Barks, but Don't Bite.
Dear Chronicle:
I see by your issue of yesterday that
"the supreme court of Oregon declares
in strong language that the owners of
barking and vicious dogs are responsible
for all damages caused by such dogs, and
that the owners keep them at their own
peril." But what if tbe dog be not vic
ious but only large and with a bark
which can be heard two or three blocks
away and keeps that same bark going
half of every night -disturbing the
neighboring people, spoiling their sleep
and their tempers not for a night merely,
but for consecutive weeks and months.
Question May not 6uch a dog be de
clared a nuisance and put out of the way,
if not kept in the house?

.Want to Barn the Doctor.
An Associated Press dispatch from
Goldendale, Wash., says :
Hon. W. B. Dunbar is in receipt of a
letter from We-We-Us, an Indian of the
Calawash tribe, asking if it could be
arranging with "Boston tyees" (mean
ing court and jury) whereby they could
be permitted to burn an Indian doctor
at the stake, who has been doctoring the
son of Skamiahs nigh unto death, and
by the destruction of this doctor the evil
spirit will be destroyed and Skamiahs'
son will recover. The Indian tradition
is that where the medicine man fails
with his herbs to effect a cure, he has
been possessed of an evil spirit, and
that, as long as it exists, it will prevent
a patient's recovery. Therefore, utter
destruction by fire is the sentence the
entire tribe passed upon the unfortunate
doctor. Mr. Dunbar, during his many
years' residence in Klickitat, has often
been called to council the different tribes.
He says this is among the worst barbar
ities he ever knew them to want to
inflict, but be believes the custom has
long been practiced, but civilization is
bringing them to dread the law.

who dug it out of a pocket, would not

SlOO Reward, SIOO.
The readers of this paper will be much
pleased to learn that there is at least one
dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure in all its stages, and that is
Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the
only positive cure known to the medical
fraternity. Catarrh being a constitu
tional disease, requires a constitutional
treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, acting directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation of the
disease, and giving the patient strength
by building np the constitution and as
sisting nature in doing its work. The
proprietors have so much faith in its
curative powers that they offer $100 for
any case that it fails to care. Send for
list of testimonials. Address

much so as when white. Further than
this, the heads may be cut later and
used in their dried state as ornaments
for the house, placed in vases.
