The Sentinel says the land was assessed for 1900 taxes at 887. A visit to my salesroom will convince you that my large stock of shells, corals, and shell jewelry ia second to none in heanty and quality. My prices are rea sonable and my expenses small.

These wafers are put up in packages coating from 5c to 35c, and are manufactured by the National Bis cuit Co., and are considered the nicest goods of the kind on the market. Maier & Benton. It The accident at Salem resulting in the death of an engineer and fireman has been traced to a 10-year-old boy, the aon of a Salem lawyer. The real blame though lies with the person who left the switch unlocked. The boy didn't know any better. The men who failed to lock the switch did. Detective Joe Reiley has interviewed the Times-Mountaineer man and told him that he didn't threaten the negro, Kidd, and used no gun had none, in fact, with him at the time, as he had given his pistol to the day clerk at the Umatilla House at 8 o'clock that morn ing and didn't call for it again until that night. The Astoria postmaster last Monday found letter in bis office addressed to "Sauta Glaus, Greenland." The post master opened the letter and found that it was from the little aon of a prominent citizen of the town who asked the good saint to send bim an air gun. The let ter was tent to the boy's lather, who will doubtless aee that the wish of the boy is gratified. The health officer reported this morn ing that there are now four houses quarantined for diphtheria. The quar antine waa raised yesterday from the residences of T. T. Nichols and Peter Fegan. Unfortunately there are two new oases in a family named Mover, who live up near the old fair ground. But for this only three houses would now Jw unaer quarantine. If you don't think the people read The Chronicle ask John Fleming, with Maier & Benton. He put an ad. in yes terday's paper, announcing that be had a lot of flue Leghorn chickens that he wanted to dispose of cheap. In less than two hours after the ad. was in type the chickens were told at Mr. Homing's own price, and he could have sold them many times since. The vote at the Catholic fair for the chafing dish, to be give to the most popular lady, stood at noon today as follows : Frudeuee Patterson, 10 ; Elsie Carey, 8; Melvia Dawson, 12; Mamie Helen Flynn, 16; Edith Fisher, 6; Mrs. Joe Bonn, 6. The veto for the silver mounted gavel, to be given to the meat' Popular fraternal order, stood as follows : fcglm,40;ReMeB, 18; Artisans, 10; Maoeebses,K;Uuu 10; Foresters, 88.

The otter day the eqoaw wire found Cox smoking cigarettes. She immedi .telv doffed for American olothe. put on a lot of red, white and green blankets, stropped her papoose on her back and returned to civilization. Al Bettingen, Charley Frank, Andy Keller and Ricky Haesalo were seen to day wending their way from the railroad depot to their respective homes each oenaing under the weight of a big gunny sack full of jack rabbits. They had been up in the neighborhood of Castle Rock since Sunday and are re ported to have slaughtered between 76 and 100 head. Just what they did with all the rabbits is not known by this de ponent. He only knows that his visions of hare soup have vanished into thin air. Seth Morgan requests The Chronicle to announce that there will be a meet ing at the Star lodging house at 2 o'clock next Saturday afternoon, for the purpose of organizing a socialist club. The Chronicle gladly publishes the an nouncement. This latest outgrowth of the Bixteen-to-one-or-bust lunacy is to be encouraged as it affords a channel for the harmless discharge of anti-republi can effervescence. The more socialists the fewer democrats, and the fewer dem ocrats the better for the country all round, The troubles of Paul Mohr'e transpor tation line from Spokane to Portland have assumed a new phase. Contrac tors Winters and Chapman have been awarded a judgment for $30,000 against tbe Central Navigation & Construction Company, which built the road around the falls at The Dalles. Tbe intervening suits of A. A. Hutchinson for $300,000, and Joseph Auerbach for $57,000. as holders of bonds issued by Mohr'e com pany, have been dismissed. It is prob able, however, that the sale of the road to satisfy Winters and Chapman's judgment will be postponed for the pending appeal. The argument in the case of Brown and Maddox vs. the Oregon King Min ing Company was completed yesterday afternoon, says today's Oregonian. Judge Bellinger charged the jury, and they retired about 4 p. m. to deliberate upon their verdict. A little before 7 p. m. they came into court and returned a verdict in favor of the plaintiffs. It will be remembered tliat the case waa tried at the spring term of the United States court, and a verdict was rendered in favor of plain tins, but this was set aside by Judge Bellinger, on error in law. The mine ia situated at Ash wood, seven teen miles south of Antelope, in Crook county. . The value of the mine cannot be definitely known, but it is stated that an offer of $300,000 lies been made for it and the prospective value is very much greater. A large amount of rich rock has been taken out by the company, which it is understood will still belong to them. The remains of the late Mrs. M. J. Atwell, of Cascade Locks, were brought to town on the noon train today, and were laid to rest in the Odd Fellows cemetery this afternoon, the funeral being held at the undertaking rooms of Crandall &-Bnrgett. The services were conducted by Rev. Mx. Walker, pastor of the M. E.church at the locks of which Mrs. Atwell had been a member for the past six years. The deeeased was a native of the state of Pennsylvania, where she waa born November 7, 1820. Her maiden name was Harvey and she was married in 1840 to C. E. Williams.a resident of Illinois. From that state he and her husband started to cross the plains in 1862 but Iter husbond died on the way. Arriving that year at the looks she was married in 1858 to Mr. Atwell and the following year the couple took up what is known as the Atwell Donation Land claim. On this claim Mrs. Atwell lived until the final sum monasame. Mrs. Atwell was a most worthy christian woman, greatly be loved and respected by all who knew her.
