Tliero was a nice little breeze this
afternoon that rattled tho signs and
shook the old leaves from the trees.

J. Herbert Lyon, manager of the Lyon
Steamboat Co., operating two Eteamers
on Lake Cteur d'Alene, who mysterious
ly disappeared about six months ago,
returned to Spokane Tuesday to Ihb par
ents, wife and two children, who had
long mourned him as dead. He says he
has no recollection of what occurred
from the time of his disappearance until
he came to his senses in a little town in
Southern California.
A couple of horses belonging to Mr.
Henzie made a run up thorough town
shortly after noon today, coming up
Washington street from First. It is
supposed they had beeti unhitched and
fed at dinner time, asthe tugs were tied
up, and that the upsetting of the arch
frightenod them yeo badly that they
broke away. They made excellent time,
and like the wilted, mentioned by Job,
no one pursued them.
The Or.egon Trading Company has
been incorporated. The object of the
incorporation is to carry on a general
merchandise business at Wasco, Sher

of business of the company. The capi

shares of the value of $50 each. The in
corporators are Ed M. Williams, w. A.
Johnston, A. C. Sanford, Geo. Crosfield
and E. O. McCoy. Mr. Crossfield will
have immediate charge of the business.
Tho big arch put across the street
leading to the boat landing at the time
of the celebration of the opening of the
locks bade fair to become a regular fix
ture; but it is no more. At noon today
the gentle breezes swept down upon it,
filled its flapping canvas with a gust or
two of air from Mt. Hood, and after toy
ing playfully for a moment or two with
the ragged banners, sent it toppling over
into the street. It lay there looking like
a Democratic stump tpech two days
after election, its slender frame work
exposed and ite hojlow sham self-evident.

IUiiiiitrkabte .MUliap to Mrs. 1'nttun.
Mrs. Frank Patton, formerly of Gol
dendale, is at St. Vincent's hospital re
covering from the effects of a most re
markable accident, which necessitated
the performance of a serious operation.
The Oregonian sayB that some three
weeks eince Mrs. Pulton accidentally
broke in two pieces the rubber plate of
a set of artificial teeth she was wearing.
Isot long after, and before she had had
time to have the plate repaired, she had
occasion to make a call, and undertook
to wear the broken plate. After adjust
the pieces and placing them in position
she was constrained to yawn, at the
same time involuntarity placing her
hand over her mouth. Unfortunately,
she pressed her lingers against her teeth,
detaching one-half of the broken plate,
and, as her mouth was wide open and
her head thrown back, the half of the
plate and teeth attached went down her
throat.
Mrs. Patton made a desperate effort to
catch it or eject it, but it had slipped out
of her reach or control and passed into
the Btomach. In a day or two the plate
began to trouble her, causing her great
pain and suffering. She was unable to
eat and her sufferings increased, until it
was seen that some heroic measures
must be taken if her life was to be saved.
It was finally decided to take her to St.
Vincent's hospital, where a consultation
of physicians was held, and it was con
cluded that the best thing to be done
was to open the stomach and remove the
teeth. The operation was successfully
performed just one week since; but, to
the astonishment of all concerned, no
trace of the plate or teeth could be found,
after a most thorough examination.
What became of them is a mystery.
Some think that the plate was not swal
lowed, but this seema improbable, Oth
erwise, how are the pain and suffering
which followed to be accounted for7 Im
agination goes a long wayB sometimes,
but it is hardly sufficient to keep a per
son in pain and sufferiug for a week or
two, especially after the fact of the orig
inal mishap ia proof positive. Some
claim that the rubber plate was digested
or broken up in the stomach; but this i
theory is as improbable aa the other, j
The most satisfactory feature of the case
is that Mrs. Patton has been rapidly im-1
proving ever since tho operation was I
performod, and will soon bo out. I

Fern Lodge, Degree of Honor, had a
very pleasant meeting last night, a num
ber of invited guests not members ofjthe
older belug present, after the close of
the regular business meeting. An inter
esting programme was rendered, consist
ing of song by quartette, Drs. Doane and
Lannerberg, C. J. Crandall and George
GibonB; a recitation by Mrs. Urigge, and
the same was a gem ; song by Sydney
Youug, banjo and guitar by Mr. Parkins
and Mr. Simms, concluding with a very
laughable farce, presented by Miss Bee
Sterling MieB Elton, Arthur Stubling
and Vic Schmidt. At its conclusion the
floor was cleared and dancing was in or
der until nearly midnight.
SiiL'Ciilatorw.
Objection ia made, or baa been made,
to pugilism because it engenders gambl
ing. We do not believe this. The peo
ple who attend prize-lighta are generally
of a speculative turn, and ar? gamblers
long before they ever eee a prize-fight.
The same objection might be made to
agricultural fairs, and for that matter to
our elections. Millions change hands at
every election, and will perhaps always
continue to do so, yet we cannot abolish
elections on that account. The truth is,
if the gambling spirit is in a fellow, he
will find something to get his money put
to the hazard .and die of a wager on, in
some manner. During the war the sol
diers in camp, to vary the monotony, it
is snid, used to amuse themselves by
getting up a series of races. The race
track consisted of a tin plate, with a
spot in the center about an inch in di
ameter, marked off with a circle
scratched in the tin. The animals en
tered for the races were those diminutive
peats known in common language as
"graybacks." A wager being made, tho
owners would bring out their longest
legged and best groomed steeds and drop
each his favorite in that charmed circle.
The plate having been wanned to a
degree rendering it uncomfortable, the
diminutive Maud S's and J. I. C'e would
immediately strike ont for the elcewhere,
and the one getting oil' tho pli.ta first
won the money. He was generally put
back inside the gray shirt for future use.
'
Tump Winston, who lived in Carson
City and conducted a gambling saloon,
used to say that he would "gamble the
sun wouldn't come up if he could get
odds enough, taking the chances of the
end of creation coming;" and it ib told
of Harry Thornngton, another gambler
who died at Carson many years ago,
that previous to his death the good old
Methodist preacher who conducted the
church there, called upon him, and by
his kindly ministrations converted him,
The good man used to call on Harry
daily and talk to him, and the latter
seemed to enjoy the vieits and profit by
them, much to the minister's gratifica
tion. One day about a week before
Thornngton died, he expressed to his
friend his extreme pleasure at his con
version, and his hope of meeting him on
"tho other side." "Put," said he, "will
I be an angel and have wings when I get
over there?" "Undoubtedly," said tho
minister. "And will I bo able to fly
with them?" "Most assuredly," was
the reply. "Well then, parson," said
Harry, "I'll bo there a long time ahead
of you, and be in practice by tho timo
you come; but I've got a hundred yet,
more than it will take for my funeral, j
and I'll bet youjtwo to one that when ycu
come in I can outfly you."
Tho epirit of gambling is innate, and
while civilization may suppress, it can
not eliminate it, All eavages are Invet
erate gamblers. Wo have seen an In
dian bet away at cards his horse, his
money, his gun, and finally his clothes,
until he was as naked as when he came
