Nothing has been heard of William Teller, who left on a hunting trip near Tongue point a few days ago, says the Astorian. His skiff was picked np near Knappton and was brought over by the launch Triton yesterday. It is thought certain that he was drowned Earl Wheeler, the cattle "rustler" who was arrested on Lower Powder river last October, after a hot battle with a sher iff's posse, was found guilty, in Baker City, last Friday, of stealing a cow. ' In the caBe of Charles Sally, charged with shooting at Ida Gilmore, the grand jury returned "not a true bill." Yesterday afternoon ' RichardCarlyle, who had his preliminary hearing in the -justice court for larceny of a dog, was bound over; under $200 bonds to appear bsfore the grand jury, and as he has not aa yet secured a bondsman, be is at pres ent in the county jail. This seems to have been purely a piece of spite work. He bad a grudge against Dick Brook house, the owner of the dog, and in order to get what he probably thought would be satisfaction, he went -into Brookhoose's yard, put a rope on do?, tied it down in a canvon near bv and killed it. 1 JfcWlore DO lelU UUl Uf Lhi'd trouble he "Will in all probability come to the conclusion that his spite was carried too far, as he is charged with a peniten tiary offense and has a good chance of being convicted. .

He was first charged with horsestealing, but the information was pronounced fatally de fective by Judge McDonald, and a new one was drawn up.

Gardner In the " City in Behalf of That Charitable Organization. W. T. Gardner, superintendent of the Boys' and Girls' Aid Society of Port land, is in the city today transacting business in behalf of the society. He brought up one little homeless girl, which was adopted into the family of Mr. Matthew Thorburn of Kingsley,and before returning he intends to call upon, or inquire concerning the twelve chil dren which are adopted into families in this section, and Bee that they are treat ed right, and that they want for nothing. During the last five yeara over twenty homeless children were taken from this county, and at present nearly all of them have good homes. Among them was the little Gibson girl, whose parents were opium fiends and lived out by the company ice bouBe. She is adopted into a family in Portland, and is getting along nicely, being an exceptionally bright little girl. Dollie Howard, whose mother was a woman of bad repute in this section, is in Southern Oregon at present, and is in good hands, who will train her up in a virtuous manner The . three Graham children, whose mother is dead and their father unable to support them, are also in good circumstances, the girls being adopted by people who will take the best of care of them, while the boy is at the Indian school at Chemawa. One of the Wolforth children is taken on indenture Jay parties living near the home, while the 5-year-old boy is still at the borne, and on account of his ro bust appearance is known by everyone as "Punch." ' . - Mr. Gardner will take six children back to the home with him' this trip. The three Atkins boys, who are some of those who were a short time ago arrested for stealing articles from the stores and other places around town, and the three Howland children, whose mother is dead and whose father was sent to the peni tentiary a short time ago. They will be taken good care of while in the home, and as soon as possible will be given to families who wish to adopt them. While here Mr. Gardner will accept subscriptions from anyone who is chari tably inclined and who deeires to give something, no matter how small, to help the home, and anyone giving money to aid such a cause may consider the same well spent. - THE ELKS BENEFIT. Social a .Well aa a Financial Snceear--Some Laughable Feature. Probably the largest audience, with the exception of Saturday night, that has attended Prof. McEwen's entertain' ment since he was in the city was at the benefit last night. Every seat was sold and a number were forced to stand, as eeats were not sufficient to accommodate all. The entertainment was exceptionally good, and the class was theglargest of any evening, there being - abont sixteen good subjects. Among the new features introduced - xfcv r. "Daisy Air Gods MAIER & BENTON the most side-splitting were the love ecene and the nursing scene. In the former the professor put three of bis subjects in a hypnotic state, and then placing a broom alongside of each, made them believe that they were sitting by the side of their best girls, and the scene that followed would have made the garden scene in "Romeo and Juliet" fade into insignificance. The evening's entertainment was closed by the nurs ing scene, which was undoubtedly one of the moet laughable and ridiculous that was introduced during the entire time that the professor was here. The net receipts of the benefit were $101, half of which goes to the Salem lodge and half to the lodge at this place. It is rumored that Cascade Lodge in tends donating their receipts to the Boys' and Girls' Aid Society in Portland, which goes to ehow the charitable na ture of the society and the great object for which it was formed. While Professor McEwen was here he enlightened many upon the truths of hypnotism and mesmerism, and cast out many prejudices against the same. If he ever returns to this place he may be sure of a warm reception by our citizens.
