THE PRICE ONE WOMAN'S EXPERI ENCE WITH GAMBLING. ' t Husband Gambled Away 200 In Two Weeks and Was Sent Home With tho Message Hint He Is Fit for the Asylum Story From Life In Pen dleton. The mother ot three smnll children was rpllttlng wood when tho collec tor for the East Oregonlan called at a home In the western! of Pendleton yesterday. "I can't pay for my pa per this month," she said. "I am taking In all the washing I can get, but It Is so scarce that I am not busy all the time and there are so many other bills to pay." Then she reluted a story, with tears in her eyes, which Is told for the lesson It bears. The three llltlo girls clung about her, sad-eyed and wondering as the mother told her pitiable experience. Her husband Is a laborer and last spring was away from home for two months, shearing sheep. While he was shearing he worked constantly and came home a short time ago with 1238 In cash. They were In debt for provisions, fuel and rent and the poor wife was delighted at the prospects of paying up and being "square with the world" once more. But fate willed It otherwise. She begged her husband to give her the money, that she might pay the bills and put a little away for the "rainy day." He "knew his business," and said he would attend to the bills. He gave the wife t'Si and went to town with the J-00 In his pocket. That was the last she saw of him for two weeks, und then one day he came Into the house blear-eyed, hag gard, staggering, dirty, unshaven und in delirium. He had been carousing, drinking, and gambling for two weeks In a Main street saloon, while his Wife was wondering at home. He was dead broke, his clothes were filthy and worn and he was suffering from his hilarious spree. The owner of the saloon where he had been stuylng, Bent her word that her husband had delirium tremens, and was ready for the asylum. This was their message to her after they had taken his $200 and sent him home a dead-broke lunutlc. They knew the circumstances of the family. They knew that this Idi otic man owed grocery bills, fuel bills and rent bills, for it happened that one of the owners of the saloon was familiar with the home. "So you see, I must take In wash ing the remainder of the year for my husband Is not fit to work now and we have no money." she said. The bill for the paper was cancelled and marked "paid." If any one doubts this story, they may call at the orrice of the East Or egonlan and get the name of this man and the name of the saloon where he squandered his money. It is withheld from print out of mercy for the suffering wife and babies. Tlie Iielinont Doing Finely. Another clean-up from the Belmont group. Greenhorn district, was placed on display at Sumpter last Friday. It represented in value $860 and result ed from five days' operation of the small mill on the property. The ore from which the clean-up was made was taken from the upper workings on the rich ledge opened up some time ago, and which has made such a wonderful output since that time. A shaft Is now being sunk on thm ore body, and the output is expected to be much larger when a depth Is reached that will permit of drifting and stoplng. Blue Mountain Eagle. Hanged Herself. The dead body of Roxle Ross, a woman aged about 40 years, who es caped from the county poor farm yesterday, was found today In a shan ty on Deep creek. The woman had hanged herself. In a grip was found personal effects and $18 In money. The unfortunate woman had taken her own life by fastening a rope to a rafter In the shanty, from which she suspended herself, after standing on a kerosene can. Around her head she had wrapped a shawl, to thus hide tho distorted features that fol lowed strangulation. Moscow Mirror. Went In Itcyond His Depth. Yesterday afternoon about 6 o'clock word reached town that Eugene, the 12-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. James McCoy was drowned. The story of the drowning is the same one which the newspapers are forced to chronicle every season. The little fe)Iow was bathing and got In over his depth, and before assistance could reach him he went down for the third time. La Grando Observer. "Hoist by Ills Own Petard." A sheepherdcr near Waplnltla last week, fixed his rifle so that It would go off and kill a bear that had been marauding his camp. During the night he Imagined he heard a gun fired, and hunting around In the dark for the victim of his trap, discharged the gun himself, and ns a result lost two fingers and the thumb of his right hand.

The inspection mads of the giant steamsnlp Dakota as she lay Wednes day with all her entire hull bare In the navy drydock at Bremerton re vealed more than one brenk In her structure, says the Seattle Star. One feature was found In the arch ed portion of her stern post about six feet forward of the rudder, which can bo repaired by reinforcing the post with heavy steel plates on both sides. Other minor defects were also found In parts of the stern frnme which will be repaired while she Is In the drydock. The chief breuk. that to the port tall shaft, has not been Inspected yet mid cannot be until the tall shaft is taken out, some time Thursday after noon, but it Is known that the shaft Is fractured somewhere near the pro peller blade. The repairing will occupy from 10 days to two weeks, say the officials In charge. When it Is considered that the drydock rental alone, not count ing the cost of making the repairs, is costing the steamship company In the neighborhood of $2000 per day, one Is led to fenr that this nccident will force Jim Hill to go without cigars for a week or two. Moran Bros, have the contract for repairing the vessel, and the chief constructor of the com pany, Frank W. Hibbs, Is In charge. The great vessel Is resting fn the dock as If It were made for her alone. If Bhe were 20 inches longer she could not get In, and her Immense bulk completely fills the bottom of the dock. IDAHO AFTER TIMBER. Hulf n Million Dollars' Wortli'of Pine Forest In Litigation. The state has been formally notified by the officials of tho Coeur d'Alene land office of the rejection of eerialn selections of valuable timber lands and steps have been taken to appeal to the commissioner of the general land office, says tho Boise Statesman. These selections were made by Land Commissioner Munson under direction of E. L. Marvin, the special agent and timber expert of the state land de partment, during the month of July, amounting to 33,200 acres. Of this 7720 acres were accepted by the of ficials of the Coeur d'Alcno land of fice and 25,480 acres wore rejected on the ground that they conflicted with entries of record. Of these filings about 13.000 acres were covered by so-called "scrip se lections" made by tho Northern Pa cific prior to the survey under the Mt. Rainier National park act and tho ! net of July 1, 1898. Tho balance of the selections rejected cover entries of homesteaders, whose bona fldo character have always been taken Into consideration by the state. The Btnte claims this land by rea son of the act of August 18, 1894, under the applications of Governor Steunenherg and Governor Hunt and the withdrawal for the benefit of the state made by tho commissioners of the general land office In 1899. The selections tendered by the state cover one of the most valuable bodies of white pine In Idaho. It Is esti mated, on a conservative basis, to be worth at least half a million dollars. THE DUKE S DF.CISION. Wellington's Verdict In the Case of a Stolen Kiss. "The Military Reminiscences of a Re tired Colonel" rnntnlns the following story relating how the Duke of Wel lington over'-iime a somewhat embar rassing difficulty: The sentry on duty one duy at the gate of Hampton Court palace 1 1 : -1 : : y years iig'i wns Hiked the time by a young lady, the daughter of the widow of a distinguished soldier, who occu pied apartments in the palace. S!ib happened to he wearing a dainty apron, and. appearing to the sol Her to be a neat Lilly's maid, his reply tn her question was. "Half past klssinc lime," nnd-n kiss. Tlie Indignant yoijug lady fled t:i re port the Impertinence to her iiioIIkt. who promptly sent a letter of complain! lo Hie colonel of the senlry's regiment. The colonel regret led tlie occurrence end referred the lady, half In Jesl and half Jn earnest, to the coininiindrr ;:i chief. To the highest quarter occur,! ingly she went for redress and received the following reply: Field Marshal the Duke of Wellington, while regretting the occurrence of which 'Miss Q. complains, begs to say thnt ho lias searched the army regulations and tho articles of war, and ho can nowhere And that kissing Is a punishable offense from a military point of view.
