MYSTERIOUS RECLL'SE DIES.
Drcwod as Bride for Half Century
Wklowed on Wedding Day.
One of the mysteries of Paris has
heen solved by the death of Mme de
Provlgny, which has opened for the
first time In more than half a 'cen
tury the house on Boulevard Polssom
mlere known as the "house of mys
tery." For 60 years and more the
shutters of that house were never
opened. Servants entered stealthily
and It was known to be Inhabited by
a recluse of great eccentricity, but Its
secret was well kept until a few days
ago, when the place was suddenly
dressed In the black and silver trap
pings of French mourning, and It was
announced that Its aged and sorrow
ful Inrtate, Mme. de Provlgny, was
dead.
She was an old lady of more than
70, and for the last half century she
lived In that house the life of an an
chorite, without a newspaper or com
munication of any kind from the out
side world. For 50 years Mme. do
Provlgny wore white satin. She wort
It on her wedding day and always
dressed In white to the end. They
had been married the same morning
and the young husband succumbed
to apoplexy an hour after the cere
mony.
When she recovered from the
shock If, Indeed, she can be said to
have ever recovered from It Mme de
Provlgny had the house shut up, but
she retained her servants on the con
dition that they were never to to con
front her with a living being and nev
er to speak to her again. She did
not know the trend of public events.
Automobiles, electric cars and even
railroad trains were unknown to her.
She did not know that France was a
republic. She had never heard of the
Dreyfus case, of the death of Queen
Victoria, or of any national or Inter
national event.
In her will she left her whole for
tune to men and women over 60 and
of good character. She left a large
house In the country as a home for
them and $2,000,000 for Its maintenance.
WATER "OX A DEAD LEVEL."
Two Ditches In Malheur County Run
nlnjr Sldo by Side Carry Water in
Oppoetlto Directions.
Over In the Irrigation district of
Malheur county Is one of the most
unique engineering feats recorded In
the west and the East Oregonlan
deems It worthy of mention.
In the valley along the Malheur
river wher the land Is level for miles,
are two large Irrigation canals run
ning side by side for three miles and
so nearjy dead level Is the ground
there that water runs In opposite di
rections In the two ditches.
The ditches come Into the valley
from different directions and from
higher ground and the momentum of
the volume of water forces It across
the dead level of the valley. In oppo
site .directions. At one end of the
valley one ditch passes under the
other In a flume.

711 Main St.
Girl Murdered by Lover Who
Been Ordered Away.
Math JanclgaJ. an Aastrlan laborer,
about midnight Saturday at Oregon
City, effected entrance to the room of
16-year-old Mary Schmorker and
shot tho girl to death.
JanclgaJ then made his way out the
window and, Jumping to the ground,
was confronted by John Schmorker,
the girl's father. Schmorker was un
armed, arid when shot at fled Into
the house. One of Schmorker'a sons
went to tho Jail and gave the alarm
and a posse of every available citizen
was organized by Chief of Police
Burns and pursuit taken up. In the
meantime JanclgaJ secured a good
start and was headed southward when
last seen. He had not been captured
at an early hour this morning.
JanclgaJ had previously boarded at
the Schmorker home and had become
enamored of the dead girl. Her fath
er ordered JanclgaJ away from the
place and put a stop to the love af
fair. This, It is believed, enraged
JanclgaJ, and that disappointment
over his love inspired his act
The town Is In great excitement and
many threats of lynching are heard
should JanclgaJ be captured.

Says Ills City Is Going to Spend $200,.
000 in Paving Tli Inks Bryun's
Election Is Sure.
That tho city of Lewlston will
spend 1200,000 for street paving with
in the next few months, perhaps Is
the belief of M. D. Mills, a prominent
business man of Lewlston, who pass
ed through Pendleton today on his
way home from the national demo
cratic convention at Denver.
Mr. Mills arrived from Denver last
evening and was the guest of his un
cle, W. A. Slddone, Northern Pacific
section foreman In this city, while
here.
H6 looked over Pendleton's bltu
lithic paving while In the city and is
very favorably Impressed with It.
Lewlston at one time decided to use
wood block pacing, but after a thor
ough investigation the city council
found that It was a temporary pav
ing at best and the council changed
Its mind.
The city will spend about $200,000
In street paving and It Is believed
that bltullthlc will be adopted as all
Investigations have tended to show
that it Is really the most substantial
and durable of all the paving materials.
Mr. Mills is enthusiastic over the
porspects for Bryan's election in the
coming presidential election. He
says that the Denver convention sur
passed every other convention of re
cent years In enthusiasm and noise,
and It Is believed that the democracy
has entered the race to win.
Mr. Mills attended the democratic
convention of 1900 as a delegate from
Oklahoma territory and he declares
that this convention was so much
more enthusiastic that there Is no
comparison.
"I like Pendleton because it Is so
much like Lewlston," said Mr. Mills
to the East Oregonlan. "Both towns
have similar surroundings and inter
ests and we feel that there Is much
In common between us."
The fruit crop In the Lewlston
Clarkston district has been immense
and the acreage Is Increasing each
year.

PULLMAN HAS STTiAXGE SPRING
Flow Reduced One-Half Vhon Land
Is lit Crop.
A strange phenomenon In regard
to the flow of water from a spring
on tne fcirm of S. H. Breeze, five miles
south of Pullman, Is attracting inter
est. The spring Is In a field which
has been In cultivation many years.
Mr. Breeze says that In seasons when
the land is In summer fallow the flow
of water from the spring Is more
than double that of seasons when the
land Is In crop.
The matter has been called to The
attention of the experiment station
staff of the Washington state college,
and a scientific Investigation of the
causes will be made. The theory' is
that the grain, when growing, ab
sorbs the moisture, which Is wasted
when there Is no crop on the sround.
C. W. Lawrence, one of the experi
ment staff, Intends to make a study
of the spring.

"THE ORANGE."
GIRL IS CRIMINAL TOOL.
Claims She W'ns Sent Out to Swindle
Young Men.
Through the partial confession of
Gladys Wilson, a girl about 17 years
old, the arrest of R. M Ellis and wife
and Will G. Glllman, who, it Is al
leged, have been using the girl as a
tool in passing counterfeit bills in
Tacoma and Olympla, was made pos-
Ible.
According to the story told to Of
ficer Tumor of Olympla, who arrest-,
ed Gladys Wilson In that city, she
had been sent to swindle a young man
out of his money. The proceeds were
to be used In starting a small show
troupe on the road, Mrs. Ellis being
the star performer and doing the
'hula hula" dance.
She also alleged that Ellis and GUI-
man were guilty of passing confeder
ate bills.
According to A. Ruppe, the well
known farmer living north of the city,
the summer of 1895 was very similar
to this present year, from a weather
and crop standpoint. It was very dry
the entire summer season and crops
were light, In fact, much lighter than
this year, and ranges were dry and
water scarce.
Mr. Ruppe brought to the East Or
egonlan office today a clipping from
the Daily East Oregonlan of July 23
1895, giving a resume of crop and
weather conditions, as follows:
The year 1895, or that phase of it
concernng the weather was a remark
able one in many respects. The sum
mer was unusually warm, and the
mean maximum temperature for the
year was 55.6 degrees. The maximum
was 107 degrees, which was recorded
by Voluntary Observer Hilton on July
23. Excepting the year when the
theremometer registered 109, this is
the highest temperature ever taken
by the observer. n August 2 the
mercury ran up to 105.
Contrary to the climatic freaks up
on which the oldest Inhabitant lays so
much stress, the winter of the year
was comparatively warm. The low
est temperature recorded was six de
grees above zero, which Is comforta
ble weather when a person takes into
consideration the fact that only six
or seven years ago the mercury drop
ped to 24 below.
In 1894 the people of Pendleton got
along very well with about 16 Inches
of rain, but this year Jupiter Pluvius
was In a huinorsome mood and limit
ed their supply to 10.47 inches. Snow
fell to a depth of only 22.9 Inches,
and the crops, therefore, did not re
ceive the benefit of cool breezes very
many months. The prevailing direc
tion was westerly during 10 months,
and southwesterly during November
and December.
Clear days were plentiful, there hav
ing been 1S9. Of partly cloudy days
there were 108, and of cloudy days 68.
On 68 days .01 of an Inch or more
rain fell. The weather for the month
was:
Maximum temperature, 58; date,
10th; minimum temperature, 8; date,
18th; mean temperature, 37.1; mean
maximum temperature, 45.9; mean
