UcChoe Conjptaj The men of Company B, Seventh reg Intent, bad an uutclopc. a fox. two Jack rabbits and n coyote as company nets, but when Prlvnto Harrignn returned from furlough and brought with him a cawing, screeching, ugly Missouri crow there was n kick. It was not only that the crow bad various ways of render ing himself a nuisance, but that Pri vate Ilarrlgan was In bad Rtandlng with bis company. He was without pride or ambition as a soldier. He wns shiftless, (slovenly and always ou the blacklist. He got drunk whenever op portunity offered, and he mnde oppor tunities to get Into the guardhouse. After two years of service all that could lx? said of bim was that be was good nn hired and big hearted. If be had been vicious, a court martial would have settled his case, but be wasn't He bad been a ne'er do well before culistlug, and be could not change bis sjiots. He bad lecn repri manded and punished fifty different .times, but never hauled up for a seri ous offense. The crow bad been taught a few tricks, and for a week or so Company B was Interested. Then tbo bird's In fernal voice got on- to their nerves, and the men began to growl. The first ser geant informed Harrlgan that the crow would have to go. He was homely; he was unclean; be had no sense; be be longed to the buzzard family: he was a disgrace to the post. His owner was given twenty-four hours in which ci ther to wring bis neck or lt him loose. To the sergeant's surprise. Private rinrrlgnn talked back. When the ar gument grew hot. he lost his temper for the Drst time In a year and struck his .inWm1juj. .11.l -Colonel Taylor.

As If holding Itself to blame for Its master's desertlou nnd fenrlng punish ment, the bird refused to permit Itself to be caught for some time, but wns at last seized by an agile soldier und the J tag placed In the bauds of the colonel. It provtHl to ue a pciicneu nuiu m nit !end'TJUng of the deserter. IlarrI gnn's chlrogaphy wns In nn exclusive pattern, and be scllcd his wonts to nave ns much time ns jiosslble. but bis message was deciphered at Inst, and the result wns a sudden change of or ders. The men were dismounted nnd stationed about the fort to repel an attack, und every Idler was pressed Into service. Itednced to fnlr English. Harngun had written: 1 am with the people In rium valley.

Feed him and lot him come back. The message brought by the half breed had been a ruse to leave the fort undefended. To test the matter the colonel sent out Kh) troopers nnd bad tbem make a half circle and return to the fort under cover. An hour later Ited Bird moved up with bis warriors and attacked, never doubting that be would carry the fort wltb n rush. But when the fight ended in his wild (light be left over eighty dead behind him. The check paralyzed him until troojw could be pushed Into the Held to finish him. Over in Plum vnlley, as It came to be known later on. the deserter, hiding out In the thickets, had been tbe first to discover the advent of tbe hostlles. He bnd gobbled a horse and ridden from o!ut to point to collect the set tlers nnd hnd then taken command and made a defense to be recorded in his tory. The scare wns over when Deserter Hnrrlgau reapiicared. ne came walk ing into the iwst one day wltb bis crow seated on bis shoulder, nnd. marching straight up to tbe colonel's ollice, he saluted the gray haired officer: PURPOSES AND PROSrEGTS (Concluded.) his case.

The drum or tympuuum of tbe ear is n small air chamber, wltb bard, .bony surroundings, ventilated by an tllr pas sage about one nnd n half Inches long, called the eustachian tube, which pass es forward and inward from the ante rior part of the throat behind tbe nos trils. The atmospheric pressure requir ed on the inner side of tbe drum to counterbalance that of the outer side is I provided for by tbe communication of - tbe eustachian tube wltb tbe throat lo the nets of breathing nnd swallowing. Lining the hollow of the drum nnd forming the Innermost layer of tbe drumhead is a delicate mucous mem brane, which also lines tbe interior of the eustachian tube. If we have a cold In the bend, the vessels supplying the mucous membrane from the nose to tbe mouth expand, the blood within them llows slowly or stagnates nnd that in the inucouB membrane Ix-comcs congested. As a result there is mure or less ; swelling, wltb augmentation of the nat ural secretions.

Charles V, Beale, expressman, living at 300 West Tustln street, cor ner of Aura street, and well known to ever- resident of Pendleton, says: "For four years past I have been trou bled with kidney disorders, caused, I think, by heavy lifting required by my occupation. The strain was such that I was unable to stoop or rise, again without pain and effort. Tbe kidney secretions wuro Irregular, es pecially at night and caused me much annoyance.

One night when tbe vigilance of the sentinels was lax he "flanked" bis way nut of the guardhouse and escaped the guard tent nfter hlin. His crow was not to be fieeu or beard of next morn ing, and nfter tbe fugitive had been tracked up Plum vnlley for twenty miles the trnll was lost Private Uur rlgan was ixjsted ns a deserter nnd the usual reward offered, and Company B congratulated Itself on being rid of a no account. There bad been peace with the Indi ana for n jeur, but two weeks nfter Iliirriguu's desertion disquieting re ports began to come in. Bands of bucks were breaking awuy from tbe reserva tions every day to Join the renegades in the mountains, and as tbey cut across tbe country they murdered lone trttlers nnd played havoc wltb ranch houses. The troops nt tbe fort were under arms and ready to ride at n mo ment's notice, but the reports were so connecting that the officers were per plexed. The hostlles seemed to be moving on every side. There were only B and C companies, with eighty men to a company, to bold the fort, guard the stage routes and protect tbe settlers fo twenty miles around, and tbe best that tbe colonel could do was little enough. It was when the hostlles bad worked clear around to tbe west nnd were menacing fifty pioneer families scnttered up and down Plum vnlley that be determined almost to strip tbe fort of Its garrison end make a swift dasb. Tills determi nation wns hastened by n written mes sage brought In by a half breed from one of tbe pioneers, wbo pointed ont tbe way to strike tbe hostlles a death blow while they were unprepared. One hundred and alxty men of tbe garrison were ready to ride out of tbe gates at sunrise one morning when a loud cawing was beard overhead, and all looked np to see Prirato llarrlxan's now circllnr around, Tbey saw, too, tltft the bird bad a tag tied to one of branc of tbe eustachian tulie. which Is thus obstructed. This causes tbe air in tbe drum to be rarefied, the drumhead and the little chain of bones connected with it nre forced Inward, and by caus ing excess of pressure of tbe internal ear produces deafness. star Dual. The brightness of shooting stars Is due to the heat engendered by the en ergy of their motion. Their speed is enormous namely, furty-two and a half kilometers a secoud while the speed of the earth on lbs orbit Is only Iwcnty-Dve kilometers forward. Con sequently when a shower of tbem ap proaches the earth in the direction op posite to its course the Initial speed Is seventy-two kilometers a second. When tbey follow on its course tbey gain six teen and a half kilometers a second on It, their mean rule of approach being thirty to forty kilometers a second. The friction engenders a temperature of 3,000 degrees C, subject to which tbey burst Into flame.

The only way to secure relief seems to be through a hearing or these matters before the interstnto commerce commission. In order io have a stnndlng before the commis sion when n hearing is nbked Tor, it Is necessary that the case be made up with n sunici-ul number or affida vits or witnesses who shall give per sonal testimony, to justify the com mission in ordering the hearing. The Independent Packing Company. This association has gone on record at Its last annual meeting ns opposing any combination which seeks to con trol the price of livestock nt our lead ing markets, nnd also dictates prices of meat and meat products to the consumer, and recommending the es tablishment or an Independent pack ing plant as the only method by which competition may he hnd. and thereby secure for both the producer nnd con sumer an equitable price. It is au undisputed tact thnt the decline in the values uf beer animals during the past IS months amounts to more thntr J3 per hundred: hogs, nn average or to per animal, and Bhecp from 75 cents to $1 per head. Consumers, however, are paying the same prico for their meats ns during the time maximum prices were realized by the growers. The loss to ever' man who fed cattle In the feeding states or the Missouri and Mississippi val leys during the winter or 1902 nnd spring or 19Q3, ranges rrom $1G to $30 per head, anil the total decline or live stock In this country during this period amounts to more than 1750,- 000.000. in view of the fact that the nation is us prosperous as at any time during the past two years, the home and export demand for meat products as great as ever and there has been no material Increase in the number uf head of livestock, these rondltions are uncalled for. the only apparent i reason being the unjust manipulation of prices at market centers, assist ed by the lack of knowledge on the part of producers as to the visible supply. These conditions will never change until the stockmen them selves take decided measures to re move them. Officers and Directors. Prompted by this idea, a number of stockmen met in Kansas City in the middle of June, for the purpose of discussing this subject. Several other meetings were held which finally re sulted in Incorporating the Indepen dent Packing Company under the htws or Arizona, with a capital or $G.nm).- uilii.

I The desire of the officers of thib company is that the stockmen throughout the country shall sub scribe for stock to the extent of one dollar for every bovine animal they own. 2& cents for every sheep and :0 cents for every hog. With this amount Independent plants may be established at desirable points to be managed by the best packing talent In the country, it Is believed by so doing that a legitimate, healthy com petition will bo established. It Is not the Intention of the company to rev olutionize the business or attempt to destroy already established concerns. By this method, tbo stockmen who are holders of stock In the company, in nddlt on to receiving handsome ad vances in the prico of livestock, will receive a material dividend each year which In Itself would Ui a justlflc-v tlon for stockmen to subscribe It is the intention of the officers of this association to make this the greatest organization In tho United States and one which will accomplish the purpose for which It was organlz ed. As I have already stated, this cannot be done unless it Is support cd by every livestock organization and every livestock grower and feeder V. th this object in view, i hope that each one of you will consider himself I m ml15i?.'"y f?r tl' lurno 'r ing additions to our membership roll v inch organizations and men as are not cow upon it In conclusion I wish to say that too jr iich credit cannot be given our orthy president for what hV as doer in your Interests. i all mat i T ?. ,bJ havf unHen for your wneflt.
