Friends of Tom Edwards of this city
have a Joke on him which they are
telling with relish. So desirous was
he of obeying the game laws of the
state that he purchased two hunting
licenses though he was unaware that
he was doing more than was neces
sary. He secured one during the
rrany part or tne year and a few days
ago. thinking it had expired, he paid
more money to the county clerk and
secured his second license. A hunter
of Umatilla has also been guilty of
the same "offense."

the voters of Pendleton, that I have
absolutely nothing to sell the city. I
have done some surveying and have
taken some steps necessary to devel
op what I think a valuable plant and
after a thorough investigation "and
proper consideration on the part of
the mayor and council and citizens of
our city, they decide to develop it
whatever rights I may have will be
transferred to the city without the
expenditure of one penny on their
part- JAMES JOHNS.

In Maryland and a throne gathered at
I the Jail to flee the second punishment
of the kind ever Inflicted in Queen
Anne county and the flrft since the
revival of the old law. The culprit
was Laurence . Stiner. Ho requested
that his wife bo summoned to witness
th atonement" the law exacted from
him, saying ho deserved it and that he
wanted her to Fee him punished. Mrs.
St'nor was given a chair In the Jail
yard near the whipping post and
primly wntrhod the proceedings.
Stiner took the first three strokes
wi-h scarcely more than a whimper,
but before the fourth descended the
muHcles of his shoulders and arms
wpre drawn Into tense knots from the I
pale white-livid marks filled with
bruised blood which lined hla shoul
ders and extended down his elde.
When the sixth stroke fell a sigh
of relief escaped the throng that had ;
gathered to see the whipping, a blan-I
k"t was thrown about the victim's
phou'ders and he wan hurried to his!
cell, whoro the Jail physician applied !
ointment to heal the cuts.
