A story is told of a lady teacher ' of
Pomeroy who, having an inordinate
dread of contagious disease, sent a little
girl home because she said her mother
was sick. The next day the chiid pre
sented herself at school with her finger
in her mouth and said : "We'ee got a
little baby at onr house, but mamma
told me to tell you it is not catching."
The teacher blushed slightly, said she
was glad, and told her pupil to take a
seat. The story has a reminiscent flav
or, but let's be charitable, and say it
happened again at Pomeroy.
Do not fail to call on Dr. Lannerberg,

corrected, will benefit you for life.

There was a genuine lady in the city
yesterday who came from tbe far off
sunny boutn. We know she was a per
fect lady because she told us so, and she
told everybody else so too. Nothing but
her gray hairs and the fact that she was
a woman prevents us saying something
mean about her. She made life a bur
den to everyone she came within reach
of her long-distance voice. "She's gone,
she's eone, we don't know where, and
we don't care -either, so long as she does
not wander back again."

the kind here and the
Two Splendid Sermons.
Bishop 'Cranston delivered two ser
mons yesterday that were both masterly
efforts. The subject of the morning
sermon was "Natural Difficulties in a
Divine Revelation. " He gave the con
gregation the choice of three texts
Psalms i :1, Hebrews i :2 and II Corinthi
ans xii:4. Tbe church was filled at this
service, and that tbe sermon was appre
ciated was evinced by the packed condi
tion of the room in the evening. Tbe
subject of the evening discourse was
"The Divine Spiritual Force," and it
was one of the strongest sermons ever
preached from a Dalles pulpit.
The bishop lectures tonight , in the
Methodist church on the subject of
"Professor Satan.'. Those who beard
either of tbe sermons will be certain to
attend the lecture, and those who did
not will miss a literary treat if they fail
to hear him.

the n
the B. P. O.
K. of P. ball
than passing
ret- occasion of
beautiful cere
monies were witnessed by a large and
appreciative audience.
After the opening ceremonies a prayer
was offered up by Rev. W. E. Curtis,
followed by a bymn by the double quar
tette, consisting of Misses Rose and
Myrtle Michell, Beulah Patterson and
Alma Schmidt, and Messrs. C. J. Cran-
dall, R. G. Davenport, Chas. Stobling
and Arthur Clark. This was followed
by the recitation of3"Tbanatopsis" by
Exalted Ruler John Michell, and it was
given in a manner toadd to, or rather to
draw out, new ideas from the crandest
poem known to our language. A hymn
followed, and then Judge Bradhaw de
livered a beautiful and touching eulogy
on the departed brethrenhis address
taking a wide range, and illustrating the
beauties and benefits of . the order.
Atter another hymn by the quartette,
Mr. F. W, Wilson pronounced an eulogy
on the brethren gonebefore, that was
one of the most touching and most elo
quent addresses we have ever listened
to. It was a word painting, each word
apparently fitted to tbe grand mosaic of
language as by a master mind. It was a
prose poem, the sentences flowing so met
rically that it was difficult to tell where
the poetical quotations made by the
speaker began orSyendcd. . We have
in the course of a soibefwhat varied life
heard many addresses, bt we say with
out flattery to our gif jfed young towns
man, that his eulogy esterdayN was the
finest thing of the kind we ever heard.
It deserves to be preserved in print, a
model for all future occasions, and one
that many . may imitate, but few
equal. As we listened to our
eloquent young friend, . tbe frag
ment of a poem written by the truest
poet the South has ever produced floated
across our mind, and it seemed that we
were listening to exactly .those things
tbe poet declared unattainable. The
fragment as we recollect it runs :
"There are billows far out on the ocean
That never shall break on the beaeh :
Ttaeie are songs I have heard In the silence .
1 hat never shall fluat into SDeech :
There are thoughts I have had in tbe midnight
en ue. These horses are not worth $1
apiece. There is absolutely no market
for them. Dp to three years ago we
were shipping horses east in large num
bers. Electricity and bicycles have
killed the market. This year Traffic
Manager Hannaford, of the Northern
Pacific, has made vigorous efforts to
find a market for horses in the east.
Glue factories and rendering establish
ments of various kinds have been of
fered horses very cheap. They do not
want them. A few carloads are being
shipped to the Atlantic coast for ship
ment to France, where horse meat is in
demand, but tbeee shipments make no
impression on the supply. The horses
are destroying the ranges twelve months
in the year. There are over 100,000
head id Eastern Washington and they
are destroying ranges that would sup
port 500,000 head of cattle. The situa
tion is really appalling, viewed from the
cattleman's standpoint.
Walla Walla Inventor.
Too lofty for language to reach.'
Tbe Caynse Nuisance.
Regarding the proposed extermination
of the range horses, E. F. Benson, of the
Northern Pacific land department, who
has made a special study of tbe situation,
says : . '
"Hot. winds., squirrels and grasshop
pers are ' bad, but the horse pest is be
coming still worse in Eastern Washing
ton, particularly the cayuse variety.
Horses have become so cheap that many
bands are running loose without being
branded or cared for in the least. There
being no demand, they have multiplied
rapidly and are now eating bunch grass
that should otherwise support thousands
of cattle and sheep which bring in rev-
Henry Steinberger, Jr., a Walla Wal
la boy, who lives with his parents near
the O. R. & N. dedot, is. by a luckjf in
vention, in a fair way to become inde
pendently rich. For some months past
Henry has been studying tbe insulators
on the . telephone and telegraph poles
with a view to improving the same, and
after some hard thinking his patent is
abont completed. The invention can be
attached to telephone or telegraph poles
in a much shorter time than the old
cross pieces and glass insulators now
used. The new insulator will cost about
one-third of tbe old ones, and it is gen
erally adopted will be worth at least a
quarter of a million dollars to the inven
tor. The National Recorder, a paper de
voted to inventions and patents, in a re
cent Issue, devotes considerable space to
the inventor, together with his picture.
