The engine of the rock crusher has
been hauled away and housed, and that
ends the street improvement. .There is
general complaint that the paving is
left in an unfinished state that the big
rocks which cover the surface are con
tinually laming horses' hoofs. It will
be years before these rocks can be worn
down by ordinary travel, and in the
summer time, this street will be avoided.
Along a beaten track the road is a little
better, but this is because ; the larger
rocKs have been displaced, and when
teams meet, one must pull out into a
mass of large loose rocks, which will be
a perpetual annoyance for many years.
"Whatever is worth doing at all is worth'
doing well, and this is especially appli
cable to this street. The trouble would
be obviated by a top dressing of fine
rock, like the sample of' road first made
on "Union street, which is today perfect.

Armory hall was perhaps uncomfort
ably filled Saturday night by the many
people : who attended - the soiree.
It was the prize dance, and eight couples
of the class competed for them." The
judges were Capt. Sherman, L.. E.
Crowe and Douglas Dufur. They
claimed it was hard to make the decision,
but finally decided to award the ladies
queen chain to Miss Emma Fisher and
the sleeve buttons to Claude McCoy.
The decision - gave general satisfaction.
.The Wamlo Case.
. The Mart New rape case was dismissed
Friday, and defendant discharged. The
testimony raised a doubt as to the girl's
age, but the proof was not conclusive
that she had arrived at the age of con
sent. The justice ruled out testimony
corroborative of the girl's statements.
The defense made a flat denial, but little
proof was shown that the act was not as
stated in the indictment.
. Saturday night a deplorable event
happened at Dan. Baker's saloon, by
which Mike Rice, a freight conductor on
the Union Pacific, became disfigured for
life by having the end of his nose bit off
and a thumb chewed by Night Watch
man J. B. Harper. . .
After the soiree at the Armory hall,
Eice and his wife, with some other ladies,
started . homeward, ' passing Baker's
saloon. Rice heard familiar voices sing
ing in the saloon, and prevailed upon
his wife to go home without him, saying
he would join her in a short time. He
went in the saloon and soon after Har
per entered. . A discussion arose between
them as to . a party who had voted at
both primaries. Uarper is unfortunately
possessed of an ungovernable temper
and besides was partially intoxicated,
and he struck at Rice. . Both clinched
and Harper got Rice's thumb in his
teeth, chewing it and larcerating it fear
fully. In the Eeat of the moment Rice
did not realize the extent of his injury.
Overtures for peace were made by Har
per, and Rice promised to let him up if
be would not molest him farther. The
promise was apparently not sincere on
Harper's part, lor as soon as ne was. re
leased be made a snap at Rice's nose,
severing the end of it, and spitting it
out. Harper then quickly left the room
and has not been heard of since.
Both men have wives and children,
which makes the affair doubly unfor-
t mate. Public opinion is all on the side
of Eice, as it is conceded Harper" began
the trouble and committed the crime
without provocation; His badge of
officer prevented Rice from dealing with
him more severely.
Today Rice is at home, attending to
the injured portions of his anatomy.
Dr. Hollister was called who rendered
the necessary medical assistance.

Stole a March on the Old Folks.
; Mary Hurst is the name of a girl of 15
years, who was married Saturday night
to a young man named Wm. Jordan in
The Dalles. Miss Hurst, or Mrs. Jordan
now, is the granddaughter of Mr. James
Hurst, of 15-Mile. He, with the mother
of the child, is in town today, investigat
ing the circumstances of the marriage,
It appears there is something wrong
with the testimony before the county
clerk, married under false pretenses, as
it were. It was represented that the
girl was without a parent and unable to
paddle her own canoe. However, all is
fair in love and war, and now' that the
couple are married, it is perhaps best to
let the matter rest.. -
The Weakest Spot
In vour whole system, perhaps is the
liver." If that doesn't do its work of
purifying the blood, more troubles come
from it than you can remember.
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
acts upon this weak spot a,s nothing else
can.-- It rouses it up to neaitnv, natural
action. By thoroughly purifying the
blood, it reaches, builds up, ana invigor
ates every part ot the system. .
For diseases that depend on the liver
or the blood dyspepsia, indigestion,
biliousness; everv form of scrofula,
even consumption (or lung-scrofula) in.
its earlier stages ; and the most stubborn
skin and scalp diseases, the "Discovery
is the only remedy so unfailing and ef
fective that it can be guaranteed.
If it doesn't benefit or cure, you ' have
your money back. .

SIGHT IN EARTHWORMS.
Senses Possessed by the Supposedly Sense
less Creatures.
James Weir, Jr., in a curious little
study in evolution, shows that all the
five senses of man are found -in the
lower forms of animal life. Darwin,
while admitting' that earthworms are
sensible to light, maintains that they
are blind. Weir, in the North Ameri
can Review, maintains the contrary.
He says that the circumscribed spots
on the dorsal surface of the worm are
primitive eyes, The microscope re
veals in these" spots a transparent mem
brane, an accumulation of pigmentary
matter, a special nerve spread out in
this matter and extending to the cen
tral nerve structure. The membrane
is the cornea, the pigmentary matter a
retina, and the special nerve an optic
nerve. As there is no lens the .worm
can distinguish only light and dark
ness. The arrangements for the sense
of touch are not materially different,
from those in man. The sense which
they are without is that of hearing,
but sound waves are conveyed to the
sensorium through the sense of touoh.
That worms have taste and -smell can
be proved by experiments with food.
As to smell, put musk near them and
it is amusing to see . them hunting their
holes to escape it. "The nerves of
taste and smell are blended together,
and can readily be made out with the
microscope in the lips, so to speak, of
