For the first time in weeks the city
recorder's court this morning was with
out a case. As there is- plenty of beer
the result must have been caused by a
scarcity of money.
Sheriff Driver has gone out to his

Rev. A. Horn desires us to Bay that he

It seems now that Pendleton will not
be the headquarters for the superintend

will be the place. This is said to be a
much more convenient arrangement,
and as soon aa the arrangements with

trains for Spokane will be run by way ef
Wallula, leaving the main line at
Umatilla.

"It was just such a day as this,',' said
friend of ours while sitting in the
office of the Umatilla House at noon to
day, "just such a bay as this thirty-two
years ago when a young friend of mine
was drafted into the service. He was a
bright young fellow, the only stay and
support of a widowed mother, and while
he was patriotic enough to have en
listed had circumstances been different,
he felt, as did his mother, that he could
illy be spaced from home. His mother
came to me, knowing I had some influ
ence in the war department, and asked
me to intercede for him. I had but lit
tle confidence in my ability to aid her,
but moved by her tears, I wrote Secre
tary Stanton. It was without avail.
In a few days lie was sent down to Mid-
dleburg, N. Y., to be mustered in. His
name was Shafer. Two days later I re
ceived a dispatch from the secretary
saying: 'A horse kicked J. S. Shafer
in the Freemyre house. If that's your
man, take him.' "
Kenneth Bazemore flad the good for
tune to receive a small bottle of Cham
berlain's Colic, Cholera, and Diarrhoea
Remedy when three members of his
family were sick with dysentery. This
one small bottle cured them all and be
bad some left which he gave to Geo. W.
Baker, a prominent merchant of the
place, Lewiston. N. . C, and it cured
him of the same complaint. When
troubled with dysentery, diarrhoea, colic
or cholera morbus, give this remedy a
trial and you will be more than pleased
with the result. The praise that natur
ally follows its introduction and use has
made it very popular. 25 and 50v cent

Floyd Herman owns a bear, a black
inquisitive cub, which' he keeps at the
Umatilla House, partly for" his own
amusement, and partly because he does.
Last night he had placed the Ursa
Minor in the court, or midway plaisance,
in the center of the bi&lding, expecting
the measly thing just to bear his im
prisonment - until morning. But he
wasn't , that kind of a bear. About 9
o'clock bruin over his trouble made
himself mad, and he determined to let'
folks know be was around. He climbed
through a window and entered the din
ing room, and being out of one pickle he
immediately got into another, in the
plural number. He managed to open a
cupboard wherein the caretul steward
keeps stored the chow-chow, piccalilli,
olives, etc. No sooner was this wealth
of acidity and mustard before him than
he proceeded to juggle with them, try
ing to keep . two in the air at once, and
as every time he caught one be dropped
two and stepped on the pieces, the work
of demolition went' bravely on. Olives
and cucumbers, small onions and cauli
flower, ." mustard, vinegar and broken
glass, with here and there a splash of
catsup to give color to the scene of car
nage, spread over the floor, while in .the
midst of it the joyous cub danced the
serpentine.
It was a scene of devastation he left
when lie was surrounded and dragged
away. And now rloyd wonders how
two-bits worth of bear could do $20
worth of damage in so brief a time.
A Valuable Bear.

The Union Scout says : "For several
years past the stockmen of Snake river
have been terrorized by an immense
bear that roamed the hills and mount
ains of that section. The loss from
stock killed by this beast will amount to
several hundred, if not thousand, dol
lars. He would kill and devour a large
cow or steer with perfect ease. Several
attempts were made by old hunters and
others to kill the ferocious beast, but it
seemed that it was almost impossible to
get sight of mm. - lie was such a terror
to the stockmen that a reward of $100
was offered for his carcass. ' Many old
hunters were afraid to attack him. He
ha-t been shot at several times without
effect. Word reached here a few days
ago, however, that a man in that vicin
ity had succeeded in trapping and kill
ing the animal. The captor received
the $100 reward, besides $80 for the hide
and $2.50 each for the claws."

J. A. Weed, bridge superintendent,
returned from Alto this morning at 3:30
after a night of hard work preparing for
the building of the bridge destroyed
Sunday, says the Pendleton E. O. of
Tuesday. - Upon inspecting it he found
it would be necessary to construct a new
one from the ground up. There hap
pened to be on hand some materials
which could be used to advantage and
these were , hurried Monday evening to
the scene of labor. Bridge No. 321 was
96 feet high, 800 feet long and what
bridge men call a three-decker. Over a
hundred men will be employed in the
work of rebuilding, and they will utilize
about one million feet of lumber.

The 'express man does not live in this

don't care. He - don't belong to us ; is
no relation. Doesn't tell us when he is
going away,- nor mention when he is
coming back. ' We have no key to his
shop; . don't understand, bia business
We don't know how long it takes him
to eat,, nor what he has for dinner, nor
how -eoon- he is coming back, nor
whether.be has gone to deliver a sermon
or a package, or any other little thing.
We do know that he goes away on busi
ness, and that, apparently: everybody
waits nntil that time to ask ns among
other things the questions that the
above answers fit. We know that he is
in the office all day, and part of the
night, except when out on business of
the company's. We also know that Mr
Hill would have proven a mnch more
