dication that the sign is in aquarius.
The ladies of the Methodist church
will serve ice cream and cake at tho J

About a week ago an Indian at the
Warm Springs reservation, who had
keen suffering from a severe case of
measles, got out of bed in the night and

still more rare that the rope route is
taken.
Professor Landers leaves Portland to
morrow for San Francisco, and this
morning we received a postal from him,
asking that The Ciikomci.b be sent him

refined taste, the culmination of which
is reached on this occasion.
Everybody attending tho Woodmen's
entertainment last night was presented
at the door with a small wooden ax,
with the name and number of the lodge
and the compliments of said lodge
printed thereon. That is, everybody
but the editor ot Tub Chhonicle got
one, but those charged with the presen
tation of these eouvenire, realizing the
Washingtonian characteristics of the
editor aforesaid and knowing that he
had a hatchet of his own, very properly
refrained fiom tendering the Woodmen's
token.
John Samuelson, a young man who
has been employed in a saw mill at
Sumpter, met with a frightful accident
at that place yesterday afternoon. While
engaged in the performance of his duties
his left hand came in contact with a
circular saw, almost severing it. and
mutilating it in such a manner as to
necessitate amputation of that member.
The unfortunate man was brought to
this city last evening, where Drs. Hayes
and Snow amputated the injured hand.
Mr. Samuelson had worked only two
days when the accident occurred. Ba
ker City Democrat.
Tim Woodmen Lnat Night.
The Woodmen's entertainment last
night was a very pleasant affair. The
stage was beautifully decorated with a
miniature forest, and in front where
the footlights are placed was ranged a
row of magnificent bouquets.
The program was well rendered, the
tableaux being very pretty.. Mr. Fab
kenberg is a graceful speaker, has a fine
command of language, and kept the
large audience interested for an hour or
more in explanation of the workings of
Woodcraft. Some of his stories were
very amusing, some touching!' pathetic,
and the audience responded quickly to
his touch upon the keys of his feelings.
He was followed by Mrs. Van Ursdell,
who spoke in behalf of tho circle for a
short time.
Following the statusque posing, the
floor was cleared and dancing was kept
up until shortly after midnight.
The hall was crowded, the exercises
interesting, and the entertainment as a
whole a decided success.

A HARD-HEARTED EDITOR.
He Would See Hit- DeMi-mlun t uf u No
ble IIiiiki' lli t'lmlilrd.
He drifted into the Times-Mountaineer
office yesterday with a woe-begone
look upon his countenance and a woe
begone suit of clothes upon his system,
behind which tie was only partly suc
cessful in hiding, for in places patches
of unwashed hide peeped through the
only rents that he collected. Casting
hie mixed intoxicant gaze on the genial
gentleman who shoves the editoral
pencil on our contemporary, and re
moving his tattered hat involuntarily in
that august presence, he said :
Sir, behold a waif of fortune, a relic
ot other days, a remnant of what was
once a gentleman, but what is now,
alas! the decaying wreckage of an ill
spent life. Sir, you have it in your
power lo grant me an inestimable fayor.
to do an act of charity that will make
the angels Hotter their white wings, mid
tune up their harpB in joy at the re-incarnation
of charity in the human
breast. Sir. I am in need, I need 10
cents, one dime, or in the Anglo Saxon
of you Westernc-s, a bit. 1 will be
frank with you. I am hungry, but I
can stand that. I want the money to
buy just one drink of whisker. I was
drunk yesterday. 1 am in torture today,
for the dead and dying embers of a de
bauch add the stings of conscience to
the pangs of an outraged and revengeful
stomach. I ask nothing more, and 1
trust you will feel that l ask nothing
much just relief temporary Btircease
from my sorrow. Ten centH will do it.
Will vou give it? Then up spake
Douthjt in one brief word, "Nary."
"What I You would let a man die on
your door Btep for lack of 10 cents worth
of Jiquor?" "Yep," said the imperturb
able and unsympathetic editor. "In
fact, you would make a forty-line item
if you should die here, and as you will
have to die sometime, and have such a
good opportunity, why not just step out
side and pass in your checks. Items are
scarce, and the graveyard is anguishing
for you anyhow."
With one agonizing and reproachful
look, the visitor turned away While
the editor hunted up another editor and
the two smoked up just twice the money
it would have taken to have brought joy
to the relic aforesaid.
It's a cold, a cruel, a selfish and au
unfraternal world.
THE "PIZEN" OAK CLUB.
The Small Uoy Tauklea the .I'robleui uf
Fraternity.
What a boy, assisted by more boys,
will not think of and then do, as long as
it is not something he is wanted to do,
is past all finding out.
A number of youngsters here have
caught on to the abundance of fraternal
secret societies, created and patronized
by grown folks, and becoming imbued
with the idea that it was absolutely ne
cessary for the protection of their in
terests to have something of the kind all
their own, have perfected an organiza
tion with the the suggestive name of

"The Poison Oak Club."
The club has neither written eonstitu
tions nor by-laws. It linn no rituals, no I
regalias, no jewels, no odes, no nothing.
Its ceremonies are simple, consisting
only in tho application of poison oak to J
the face of the candidate. Tho boy up-1
plying for admission into the mysteries J
of the order is at once informed!
of the ordeal he must (literally) face. I
If he expresses his willingness to undtr-1
go it, his face is well rubbed with poison
oak and he is a full Hedged member in
all the decrees. Tho selection of olbcers
is aleo simplified, for the boy who gets
the sorest face becomes by reason thereof
president, until some more fortunate kid
gets a worse dose of the oak, when he
becomes president. It is also provided
that such candidates as the poison re
fuses to take on, shall be marked on the
backs of the wrists with indelible ink,
bo that all he has to do to prove his
membership is to turn up his shirt
sleeve.
The club is growing, despite tho or
deal, but fortunately the poison oak is of
poor quality or the boys are not well
posted and get something else, but at
any rate, there are so far, few faces on
which the poison "took."

mention of the above names Insures an
enjoyable time.

Be Not Alarmed
By tho so-called "WARNING" of our competitnrH. The threat
made to our customers is nothing more nor less than a big blull' of a

CASH, at the right price, and propose to give our ciiHtomerH the benullt
of it. We are not holding it for a fancy price, and claiming it to be the
best Wire on earth. It is worth no more than any other good Wire,
