Once more Pendleton bows to the efficient volunteer fire department. One thing that the entnusiastic public should learn to do at a fire, is to let the firemen manage the case.

I love this age of energy nnd force Expectantly I greet each pregnant hour, Emerging from the All-Creative Source, Supreme with promise, imminent with power. Tho strident whistle nnd the clanging bell, The noise of gongs, the rush of mo tored things Are but the prophet voices which foretell A time when 'Thought may use un fettered wings. Too long tho 'drudgery of earth has been A barrier 'twist man and his own mind. Remove the stone, nnd, lo! the Christ within! For Ho is there, and who so seeks shall find. The great Inventor is the modern Priest; Ho paves the pathway to a higher Koal. Once from the grind of endless toll released, Man will explore the kingdom oi his Soul. And all the restless rush, this strain and strife, This noise and glare Is but the fan far'ade That ushers in the more majestic life. When Faith will wall; with Science unafraid. I feel the strong vibrations of the earth, I sense the coming of an hour sub lime. And bless the star that watched above my birth And let me live In this important time. Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

Everybody sympathizes with a wo man in trouble, no matter whether she is guilty or not. and Miss Ware who Is under bonds for fraudulent transactions in the United States land office at Eugene, Is the center of attraction in Oregon just now. "Whether she was used as a tool for land grabbers, or whether she was a land grabber herself, is not yet determined. most miraculous deeds were being done about the storm centers of the war. In the deep sorrow of the hour, it would have been easy for vengeance to make a mistaken stroke. J Booth's double once captured and disposed of, aided his escape, for the nation believed the murderer dead. To become lost in the tides that over flowed the Southwest after the war, was an easy task. To live in disguise for 40 years is not an Impossible thing, and the identification of the body as that of the actor-assassin by friends of his bosom changes one of the most romantic, yet sorrowful pages of American history. This is not the first instance of the kind in history. Marshal Key, There is reason to hope for a new I who was condemned to death by his O. R. & X. depot in Pendleton.

In the home the mistress sees the maid with the signs of suffering she recognizes so well, but she does not lighten the sick girl's load by a touch of her finger. In the store the forewoman sees the pallor and exhaustion which mark womanly weakness, but allows nothing for them. It is work or quit. Doctor Pierce's Favorite Prescription makes weak women strong aud sick women well, by curing the womanly diseases which undermine the health and sap the strength.

"It Is suggested by several of the leading business men of the city," says the Ilaker City Democrat, "and the larger acreage owners In the valley that the invitation already is btied and accepted by the members of the State Irrigation Association to meet In Ilaker City in semi-annual convention should be fully carried carried out to the very letter.

Another controlling fnctor was that Hermann would lie able to get a share of administration spoils for his district, while a democrat would have no right to ask favors of the government. Thus our extreme party politics leads to tho elevation of unfit men to the high places and prevents the fit man from taking any part in the shaping of public affairs.

"This is a mutter of vital lniort ance aud worthy of tho attention of every business man and farmer in the community.
