According to advices received by relatives In this city, Miss Nellie Matthews, daughter of Nicholas M. Matthews of Balti more, will be married this week In Hong Kong, China, after a Journey of 15,000 miles. The bridegroom will be Ensign Reed M. Farwell of Lla coln, Neb., now commanding tho United States gunboat Samar, station ed at Hong Kong. EnBlgn Fawell was a member of the class of 1905 of the Naval Acad emy and It was at a hop at Annapo lis that he met Miss Matthews. Pour ycirs ago he was ordered . to the Philippines and as ho expected to re turn In a couple of years the engage ment was announced and the wedding was to have taken place Easter, 1906, Fawell, however, was ordered to Ja pan and afterward to China, He had expected to return to this country last month, when the wedding would have taken place,-but he learned he would have to remain In Chlija for three more years. The bride-to-be then went to Wash ington, saw President Roosevelt and asked If Fawell could not be ordered home, but this availed nothing. Miss Matthews consequently decided to leave for Hong Kong. CIRCUS NEEDS PHYSICIAN. Walla Walla Paixy ComnieiHs on the Lack of Medical Aid In Acci dents. No physician Is carried by the Sells Floto show, an organization of hun dreds of people, all exposed to dan gers of all kinds says the Walla Wal la Statesman. This fact was brought out in the testimony of two of the em ployes of the circus at the coroner's Inquest over the remains of Charge Eagle, the Indian who was recently murdered. While It appears from the autopsy that the blow that killed the Indian would have resulted In his death at any event, yet the fact remalnsthat from 11 o'clock Saturday night un til 10 o'clock yesterday morning no medical acslstance was caled for the Injured man. In the event of Injur ies of different nature, tho result might have assumed an entirely dif ferent tone. Engaged In leaping, knife throwing, in fact every poslble kind of danger ous occupation, the employes have no proectlon by aphyslclan wtyh the cir cus to fill an emergency call such as should have been made night before last.

The stress and strain of the strenu ous life In both city and country makes stomach troubles. Five people suffer today where one did 10 yeare ago with Sick headache, dizziness, flatulence, distress after eatlnsr. specks before the eyes, bloating, nervousness, sleepless- rcss and tho many other symptoms of indigestion. All who are suffering with stomach troubles, and that means at least two out of three In Pendleton and other towns, should use Mi o-nl stomach tablets. Nothing else Is as safe, yet effective: nothing else can be so thor oughly relied upon to relieve all trou bles from Indigestion as Ml-o-na. So reliable Is Ml-o-na that Tallman & Co. with every 60-cent box they sell, give a guarantee to refund the money unless the remedy cures. BROKE UP THE ARMY. A Mean Trick That Demoralized the Haitian Troops. When not fighting or drinking the Haitian negro spends his time lying lu the sun smoking Innumerable ciga rettes. All over the Island the roads made originally by the Spanish and French have fallen Into ruin,- and the thick forests In tho Interior are peo-. pled by depraved savages. A story told by Mr. Sandham, tue well known American artist. Illustrates the then state of discipline which pre vailed among the 8,000 rofflans who bore tho courtesy title of "the army." Mr. Sandham and an Irish friend who resided lu the island were one day watching the eoinmandanla of the Hai tian army reviewing his troops. "Would you like to see me break up the whole lot';" asked the Irishman. "Of eoinnc," replied the artist. The Irishman then took five silver coins from his pocket and, with a loud shout, threw them up In the air. In stantly the whole army leaped forward and scrambled for the money, the corn- mondanta himself securing the first three pieces. After pocketing theiu with dignity and restoring order among bis men he ordered the Irishman to be arrested for bringing discredit oil the army. The Irishman was sentenced to three weeks' Imprisonment, but five pieces of silver and a bottle of rum se cured his Instant release. BLACK FOREST CUSTOMS. Youngest Son Inherits Property and Cares For the Old Folks. The peasant farms of the Black for est are handed down from father to son In a direct Hue, often dating back 400 years, sn.vs Antiquary. There Is no division as In France. All falls to tho heir, only here It Is not the eldest, but the youngest son. who Inherits. It is rare that a bur (peas ant) dies as relgulng head. When he gets on In years he abdicates In or der to end his days lu the lelbgedinge haus (dower house), which stands be side each bof (steading). That he does so lu favor of his youngest son Is very sensible. Were It the elder he would hive no pence, for as soon as be married he would try to Induce his parents to retire Just at an age when power Is sweetest and best exercised. For this reason the practical farmers of bygone genera tions decided to hand over the succes sion to the youngest, since when Benja min Is n full grown man father Jacob Is old and glad to rest. This law of Inheritance goes by tho nomo of vortel. Should the heir of his own free will desire to resign In favor of his elder brother the latter must buy tho property from him. In such a case tho younger may be termed a kind of Esau. Birde That Fight Eagles. In Foula, one of the Shetland is lands, the natives make a business of rearing skau gulls In order to rid the Island of tho eagles that congregate there and commll many depredations. The magutllcent red Bandstono cliffs that skirt tho northwestern coast be came a favorite haunt of the eagles, and In this inaccessible spot they in creased so rapidly that they became a terror to the farmers and fishermen who dwell on this Isolated spot The skau gulls are also strong and fierce and the Inveterate foes of the eagle. In battle the gulls are nearly always victorious, and so the inhabitants of Foula hit upon tho novel plan of feed ing and caring for the skau gulls, which, though formidable to their feathered enemies, are very peaceful and docile when brought in contact with man.
