' Congressman TaWney of Mlnneosta,
chairman of the committee on appro
priations of the recent session of con
gress, has prepared a schodule of the
expenditures of the session.
He suld that a review of the de
mands upon congress this session
showed that the estimates of the es
tablished public service and for pre
viously authorized public works for
the next fiscal year were more than
$156,000,000 over the appropriations
made for the same period during the
last session of the fifty-ninth con
gress, and that these demands did not
rest In fuct upon the necessities of
the public service, but were "sup
ported mainly by official recommen
dations to congress, backed by the
approval of the press of the country
and they consisted largely of Increas
ed compensation to the military
branches of the public service."
Mr. Tawney stated the total appro
priations of the session to be 1 8 5 1,
88,670. He said the total revenues
of the government estimated to con
gress by the secretary of the treasury
are placed at about $857,123,011;

making a grand total of the next fis
cal year'of $1,008,804,894.
Mr. Tawney suld that the estimates
submitted to congress by the execu

executive as a b.xsls for the apopr
prlatlons made amounted to $1,079,
449,288, or an excess of $70,694,394
over the total of the appropriations of
this seslon, and an excess of $158,
651,145 over all the appropriations

Nclllo MaKhcws Travels from Balti
more to China to Meet Lover.
Baltimore, June 2. 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.

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

"Known For Its Strength"
What It .loans
Many people do not know what a bank's
capital means to its depositors, or the differ
ance between a bank of little or no capital,
and one with' a large capital. One,of the
functions of
A Banks Capital
is to protect its depositors from possible' loss;
therefore the larger it is; the greater protec
tion the depositors have.

SECURITY
THE STRENUOUS LIFE.
Pulls so Hard on tho Stomach It Must
Have Help.
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.
