GROCERIES ARE AN ABSOLUTE
necessity to every human being.
From the day you enter the world
until the day you leave it you have
to patronize, directly or indirectly, some
grocery store. You have to eat to keep
alive. Among the earliest lessons taught
in life is a regard for your diet, by select
ing onlv fresh and wholesome food, and a
regard for your purse by practicing the well
established rules of economy. We can sell
vou fresher and better goods and' more of
them for cash than you can buy elsewhere
on open account. Look over our stock,
get our prices, and be convinced.

eeedtxl to lo Tt Washing. j
This morning a woman was taken
into custody by Marshal Gurdane on!
a charge of insanity anil her actions
entitle her f the record as the cham
pion female alarmist She Is a tran-j
si.nt woman in the city and nothing,
is known regarding her excepting j
that she came here from Arlington
and that she was driven out of that,
place by the town marshal who had!
found her a nuisance. She says her
name Is St. Clair.
The woman arrived here Saturday j
morning, but n"t until yesterday did
she become violent enough to attract
the at:ention of the officers. During!
the evening she appeared n West ;
Alta street and without formality,
walked into a house occupied by
Charles Hay, a salesman in the;
Workingmen's clothing store Mr. '
Mr. Pay was very much surprised at
the appearance of his visitor and
when a moment later she began to
disrobe he concluded that something,
was wrong and he beat a retreat.
P.ay went in search of an officer j
and when they returned to the house
COLDS
the woman had discarded her own
clothing entirely and was arrayed In
a pair of trousers and a sweater be
longing to l'ay. She was engaged in
washing her own garments.
Helieving that the woman was
thoroim'.ily insane, she was taken in
to custody by Marshal llurdane. At
that time the woman was complain
ing of having lost her purse contain
ing $1.S0 and said she had lost It In
a pond in the upper part of the city.
She asked the marshal to go with
her to recover the money and ex
plained that when they reached the
"pond" she would wade In and get
the purse.
On the way to the mysterious pond
the marshal persuaded the woman to
stop for a moment at the court house
and she was locked up In the wo
man's ward of the county Jail.
Subsequently the police learned
that the woman had stolen some ar
ticles from the Milarkey home and
her pocket book was found there.

lack Swart Is Nominated In Colum
bia County.
Jack Swart, formerly well known
in La Grande railroad circles, was
nominated as county clerk at the re
publican primaries held in Columbia
county. Washington, says the La
Grande Star.
He is now O. K. & X. agent at Col
fax and his name was placed on the
primary ballot on the insistance of
his friends and he received the nom
ination by a very large vote. The
strange part of the matter is that Mr.
Swart cannot afford to give up his
present position with the railroad
company and take the office of coun
ty clerk, for the reason that the pay
in the latter place is not as much as
what he Is already receiving.
Mr. Swart was formerly operator
and clerk at the La Grande railroad
office. He is a brother of Train Dis
patcher Swart, of this city.

Kd Farra, J. P. Parker and PenJ.
Prato have returned from a trip to
the famous huckleberry patch above
l'nlon creek after having a most en
joyable outing, says the Central Point
Herald.
A big. fat Indian brave from the
Klamath agency packed his pony
with the grub and camping outfit
which included a big feather bed.
Part way up the trail the pony got
frisky, and when he quit bucking the
feathers lined the trail for half a
mile and one aborigine was obliged to
sleep on the cold, bard ground. Just
as his forefathers used to do.
A party from Silver Lake, which
Included two pretty school ma'ams,
had trouble with their pack horses
early in the game and their camp
eiulppnge was strewn all over the
mountain. While the men of the
patty were gathering up the wreck
age the ladles walked on.
One of the sehoolma'am's Cinder
ella slippers blistered her little foot
sie tootsle, but she was game, and
taking off her shoes and stockings
she tackled the rocky trail barefoot
and went to the top In schedule time.
She was soon the most popular girl
In the camp. These are some of the
extreme types of humanity. A big

life saver during the conflagration,

flights over the Kootenai mountain,
but the steamer never stopped until
the fire was out.
