a week's wrestle with what threatened to
be typhoid fever.

ents in this city for some time, will leave
this week for her residence in Colusa, Cal.
We learn that there were $1300 iusi r
t nee on the furniture and fixtures of the
property injured or destroyed by last
night's blaze. The Northwest Ins. Co.,
represented in this city by Mr. C. E. x "y
ard is the loser in this case.
Messrs. Crandall & Barget commenced
this morning seating the new public school
building on the hill. Tbe seats 20S in
number, are the "perfect automatic" and
are the work of the Grand Rapids School
Furniture company.
The house occupied bv Capt". Houghton

will be moved to-day by Andy Velarde.
Its new location is on Fourth street next to
the residence of its 5wner, Mr. Leslie But
ler. Capt. Houfhton ntends to hold the
fort during the change.
We wonder what on earth Mr. Sharon is
going to do with all the furniture wbich he
is storing in the basement of Mr. Ncilscn's
house. It is not at all likely that Craodall
& Burget will start a branch house so far
op the hill. It is a good plan however
George, we have tried it ourselves.
Rev. Geo. A. Hutchison will rp to Pen
dleton on Wednesday night's train to attend

Some small boy might find light but lu
crative employment in assisting Couoty As
sessor Gourlay to keep track of his ward
robe nights. When the fire bell rang last
night he sprang np and began a hasty but
futile search for his dr that is his un

Miss Lena Walters, who has been em
ployed as a domestic in the family of Hon.
. A. McDonald for a tew months, men last !
mbt at 9 o'clock at the house of Air. Chas.
Giigard. Death resulted from a lesion of
the brain. Those who knew her best, speak
in no stinted words of her bright, brave
nature and the lovable character which won
for her especially the trust and affection of
the little ones whose daily companion she
was.
A visit to the court house this morning
and a few moments chat with the county
officials developed nothing beyond the fact
that the license niatket is extremely dull
albeit they bought a whole basketfull of
wolfscalps yesterday which were evidently
very dead. Peace reigns over the whole
establishment since the Sherman Co. con
tingent has left with their pestiferous argu
ments, and Old Tom is as hungry, Dick as
sleepy and Curg as handsome as ever.
It ia no more than simple justice to say
for Columbia Hose Co. that the repairs now
in progress on the engine house necessitated
the temporary removal of the hose carriage
to the side of the building opposite to where
it generally stands. As man after man
came np on the run and found the door of
the customary stall open and iio cart there,
they supposed it already at the fire and tore
on down the street. Through the exertions
of Mr. Jos. VYorsley a dozen of the boys,
who were vainly hunting for the carriage on
the street, were brought back and although
late, good and timely work was done. They
got their water from the O. R. & N. Go's
plug. Any fire department which saves a
light, dry, wooden building, such as the
Sun building, with only an 18-foot alley be
tween it and a tinder box all ablaze, like
that of last night's fire, deserves lots of
credit.
At a few minutes before 2 o'clock this
morning a fie alarm was turned in. It
proved to be the house just across the alley
from tbe Sun . office occupied by Bertie
Smith. The first stream of water on the
flames was from J. H. McDonouph'a hese,
followed almost immediately by Jackson
Engine Co. No. 1, with Columbia Hose
close at their heels. Tbe house was com
pletely gutted, the inmates losing furniture
and wearing apparel. For a time it seemed
as if the Sun building was bound to go, but
by steady good work the fire department,
with efficient aid from the citizens, suc
ceeded in confining the flames to the build
ing in which they originated. The origin
of the fire is at presant in doubt. There
are whispers as to probable incendiarism,
bat no clue sufficiently definite to be fol
lowed np has been obtained. The fire de
partment is to be congratulated on so for
tunate a termination to two firei, both in
framo ranges, within so short a time.
From Wednesday's Daily.
Capt. Jaa. A. Varney, who went below
to attend the fair last Monday, is expected

east of the academy.
Mrs. William McCov, who has been visit
ing friends in Portland, returned home to

Another little sprinkle of rain helps to
keep down the dust and freshen the air.
The clouds still threaten.
Either the cow ordinance, or the weather,
or something else has constrained the
vagrant cows to behave theinselyes.
There was no meeting of the board of

ttreugth and usefulness again.
The friends of Miss Nettie Butts will be

ing at the Warm Springs she was taken
sick, and for a time her recovery seemed
hopeless. She returned home yesterday.
Persons coming in from the country re
port that we have been more blessed than
our neighbors at Wapinitia. Scarcely any
rain fell beyond Dufur, and the nearer The
Dulles the greater the amount of rainfall.
The wood piles about the business houses
and in the yards of residences are beginning
to loom up. Apropos of business houses,
why not remove some of these unsightly
empty boxes from the sidewalks? They are
by no means sightly, and besides they are
quite an obstruction to navigation.
One of our exchanges publishes the fol
lowing local: "John O. Tupper lately lest a
pig; ate supper all right and was found
dead next morning." How did John lose
the pig? Was it John or the pig who ate the
supper? and was it John or the pig or the
supper that was found dead the next morn

About two score people gathered in Mrs,
Brooks' pleasant parlors last evening ia at'
tendance npon the regular meeting of tbe
Chatauqna Literary Circle. The evening

tion and mental contact and association.

lessened.
Crandall & Burget have on exhibition in
their window a very handsome plush maroon
divan which bears the card, "To be raffled
for at the Catholic Fair." It is a very
handsome piece of work. An equally ele
gant piece of furniture in the shape of a
spring rocker stands in the window of
Printz & Nitschke. It is of the same color
and material, and ia to ba disposed of in the
same manner. .
Mr. E. B. Dufur's new house on Fulton
street is a decided addition and improve
ment to that portion of the city. It is rest
ing on a solid foundation too. When we
used to notice the long piece of well built
stone wall stretching eastward from his
house we wondered as to its use, until the
conviction gradually settled upon our mind
that he was building a stone corral tor the
dogs he once described so feelingly in these
columns; but we learn now that the wall is
to be like that in front of the new house,
the solid foundation and frontage of two
more neat and handsome residences to be
built by the same enterprising gentleman.
The various new buildings in the city are
rapidly approaching completion. The Vogt

Mr. I. C. Niskelsen's beautiful structure on
the corner of Third and Washington has
had the cornices and casings painted, and
the workmen are busily engaged upon tho
outside in pencilling, aud ou the inside in
putting on the hard finish. The upper story
will be bnished as a hall. We do not be
lieve that there is a building for business
put noses on the coast which will excel it
tor beauty of architecture, or tasty and ele
gant finish. Mr. Edwards as already no
ticed has moved into ins new place, and the
building of Mrs. C. L. Phillips on Third,
between Court and Union, will soon be
ready for occupation. On Second stiyct,
east of Washington, French & Co. are mak
ing large improvements in their brick block.
Workmen are removing the battlement or
fire wall from the top and, shoring up the
building preparatory to putting in hand
some plate glass fronts along the whole
block. The residences of Mr. George Ruch
and Mr. Virgil Bolton are fast growing into
things of beauty and a credit to the town.
Blasting too aod removal of the rock is go
ing on rapidly at the East End for the new
depot.
A glance at the register of the Umatilla
House this morning showed us among
others -the name of G. M. Stroud. Who is
there who used to patronize the first rail
road that Oregon ever had, that will not re
member old "Pap" Stroud, the oldest rail
road conductor in the state? In those old
early days of railroading here, when the
trains carried a cowcatcher behind to keep
cattle from running over the train, when the
"urbane and gentlemanly" conductor stop
ped at all cross roads yes, and betweeu
them too for tbe accommodation of the lazy
rancher, when the. baggage, express, mail
and smoker were all under one roof, Geo.
McDowell Stroud was the chief among tbe
employees, and his jolly face rnd portly
figure were known to every dweller aloDg
the line from Portland to the south.ru ter
minus. But "Pap" Srroud railroads it no
more. We are reminded, in speaking of
him, of an incident which occurred at Eu
gene City while he made his temporary
headquarters there. For some reason or
other, the Eugene fire department con
cluded to make him a present give him a'
testimonial as they called it. So they
hunted until they found a specimen of laur
el which was fantaitira'ly gnarled and
twisted until it bore no resemblance to any
thing earthly, had a tinmau mount it with
an enormous highly polished head about a
foot long and called, it a cane. Upon the
bright tin head they had engraved a legend
which began "Presented to G. McStroweli
Dowd" and then went on to enumerate an
endless Rtring of his imaginary services. Of
course there was a presentation, and speech
making, and things to eat, and possibly
thiugs to drink. Any way the cane cost
Mr. Stroud a fair sum before he got through
with it. His form ia a little fuller, his hair
a little grayer, but his heart is as large and
his laugh as jolly as when he shouted all
aboard, or waved his hand to tbe man in the
cab.

To-day's Oregonian contains the marriage
notice of Mr. Joseph MacEachern and the
lady of his choice. A large circle of ac
quaintances and friends will join with ns in
congratulations and good wishes for the re
cently wedded pair. If one can judge from
appearances a fearful day of reckoning
awaits our friend Mac, at the bands of the
grand tin-pan-oni-on, upon his return.
The open air concert last night was well
attended and we think it was well worth
the attendance. Owing to the serious ill
ness of Rev. Mr. Simpson the place was
changed to the corner of Second and Wash
ington. The programme was adhered to as
published. Applause greeted each effort
and the fifth number was encored. Tbe
baud responded with a repetition of the
same air. Two cornets, an alto and the
trombone were absent, leaving but seven
pieces, besides the tenor and snare drums
two B flat cornets, two E flat altos, a tenor,
a baritone and a bass. More power to you
boys. We hope for a weekly treat of this
sort right along.
We find the following in Bro. Snyder's
Observer: "Take a United States bill of aby
denomination and hold it up to the light
and you will see two lines running entirely
across it lengthwise. Upon examination
you will find each of these to consist of a
silk thread, a red one and a blue -one.
Every genuine bill has this mark of genuine
ness. Without these marks a bill may be
put down as counterfeit, no matter how
good the engraving on it. No paper mill
dare make that sort of paper, and that is
the government's only protection on its cur
rency." How on earth do you know? Do
you mean to say that you ever had a really
aud truly government wiliiaci?
Is it exactly right when a man, cn one of
the most serious occasions of his life, is sur
rounded by friends, in the privacy of his
own home circle, that he should be inter
rupted by a rude ring at tbe door bell, fol
lowed by an irruption of one or more boys,
who fhould ere that time have been quietly
sleeping, with the impudent demand for
coin to appease them, supplemented by the
implied, if not spoken, threat that failing
this, they will do all in their power to
create pandemonium in the way of noise.
And these are net hoodlums, mind yon, but
the children of respectable citizens, men
and women who, as Mark Twain says
"average pretty so-so." Keep the boys
where they belong, during the evening at
least, and vou will miss many a thorn in
your own pillow, many an unavailing regret,
when it is too late.
Tbe Humane Society had its first case
yesterday. It seems that a kind hearted
city official found a tiny, wee bit of a sick
kitten wailing piteoualy on the street near
the court house, aud took it in to tbe sher
iff's office. The assessor transferred it irom
the sheriff's to the clerk's office. A solemn
council held there resulted in carrying the
sufferer to the house of one of the officers
of the society, not far awav. Here it was
alternately baked in tbe oven', and fed npon
warm milk, and finally returned to the
court house. A secoud council of war de
cided that it would be a mercy to put the
poor thing to death. A towei and some
chloroform were called into requisition, and
with solemn pomp aud amid the plash ot
many tears the short lived sufferer was laid
away in the back yard Requics CAT in
pace.
Mr. D. L. Cates and Miss Alice DcHuff
were tbe high contracting parties in a mar
riage ce.remony last evening at the house of
the biide's father, Mr. P. DeHuff. Rev. E.
D. Sntcliffe was the officiating clergyman.
Soon after the ceremony was performed the
usual delegation of urchins waited npon a
friend of the groom at the front door, and
were promply negotiated with to tbe exteut
of tl'.eir desires. At about half past ten
the 3d Rcgt. Band, quietly assembling in
front of the house, treated their comrade
and his friends to some choice selections cf
music. They were invited in, and regaled
with good things. The newly married pair
went down to Portland on the midnight
train. They will be absent about a week.
May their way lie through but few of life s
rough places, and even these be smoothed

Mr. Gourlav has been unwearied in his ef

We do not believe that many of the resi
dents of The Dalles have any idea of the
amount of stock that is shipped from this
point east. AbDut one hundred car loads of
sheep have gone irom uere to nicagu luib
summer, besides other live stock. And this
is a branch of farm industry that there is no
danger of over doing. We have the stock
and the area to keep and grow them npon,
and there is money in the business, even if
outside range is exhausted.
A team of horses attached to a wagon
loaded with wheat and standing in front of
the Diamond Mills, took fright at the rapid
firing of blasts this morning, and started
ofif on the run. They managed to effect a
complete turn in safety, and without the
assistance of Mr. Moore," the driver, who,
when he found their heads turned east,
jumped out, as he had business in town,
aud besides he lives in Klickitat. They ran
rapidly up Second street and down the
grade to the river road. A man was
despatched after them on horseback, and as
when last seen everything was holding to
gether, the probabilities are that no great
damage will be done.
Those who scanned the list of names in
the Oregonian yesterday under the heading
"Embryo Websters and Clays," were doubt
less surprised to notice that the name of Mr.

isfied that the mistake was the result of
tho reporters carelessness. And so it proves
to have been. Mr. Menefee had more ,than
the usual number of the written questions
allotted to him, twenty-eight in all. He
answered every one correctly, and was per
sonally complimented by the presiding
Judge of the supreme court upon his exami

It is an interesting sizht to watch the
workmen eneaied in blasting out the rock
for the foundation of the new depot at the
East Eud. ' 'Ajpart of a stick of giant pow
der is laid upon one of the great fragments
ot already displaced rock which litter the
gronnd. A few handfuls of mud aie daubed
over it to hold it and the fuse in place, and
when half a dozen of them are thus fixed,
tne attached futes are lighted, and a series
of explosions follows, accompanied by a
pattering shower of fine fragments which to
one standing under an awning, is very sug
gestive of the first heavy drops ot a sum
mer shower. A large fragment of rock,
weighing hundreds of pounds, was this
morning flung clear across all the tracks to
ward the river. The O. K. Restaurant
keeps all its windows, up stairs and down,

Liw, Bunincss and Suspenders.
For some time three prominent society
gentlemen a popular county official, a
promising young attorney, aod a genial, en
terprising, busiuess man in tbe line of goods
for men's wear only have attracted much
of the attention of the inquisitive, on ac
count of the popnlar belief that they were
about to exchange conditions of compara
tive independence for the state of servitude
in which a man is bound to get up after re
tiring to put out the cat, or perhaps to let
her ia, to be sure he locked the front door,
or after his first few moments of delicious
slumber, to be gently reminded that he for
got to look under the bed. Well, the trium
virate is broken. On the principle that the
last shall be first, the business man will re
turn from below in a day or two, we under
stand, with a partner of his sorrows and joys.
As to the iismg young barrister, above re
ferred to, we fear that for the present at
least, other matters entirely engross bis at
tention. He is afflicted just now with some
kind ot a new-fangled suspender that scarce
ly gives him time to eat, and it he had to
sleep with them oo, we balieve he would,
like the Indians sack of flour, "last plitty
quick." Every time he bends over, as the
editors little girl says, "they com 3 from
'getlier," and then he is all broken up and
suspicious of society, until he can find
some secluded spot to free his over-burdened
soul and re-establish connections. This
puts him for tho present practically out of
the field. For the remaining member of
the trio we have hopes,especially as he must
know that the eye of the public, which be
serves, is npon hiin. Seriously, we hope to
congratulate all of the three ere long, and
in a month s time to meet each ot tnem
happy and content and wearing that tamed,
subdued expression always characteristic ot
the married man.
A Sail Oceurrance.
Salem Journal.
The death of Thomas Willis, the young
lad who was kicked by a horse Sunday
evening, about 6 o'clock, was a singular one.
In the evening Mr. Willis told his son, a
boy 11 years of age, to catch a horse, which
had always been gentle, and put it in the
stable. This the boy started to do and he
went a few rods from the door and attempt
ed to catch tbe animal. The horse started
to run but he succeeded in stopping it.
As he did so it whirled around and kicked
him in the stomach, knocking hiin down.
He got np and started to meet his mother,
but fell to the ground. He was carried
into the house by his brother. His father
asked him if he wanted a doctor and he
said be did not. He suffered considerably
until morning, when his father said, "lom
mie, do you want a doctorf ' He again
antwered that he did not, that he felt bet
ter, and got up. After awhile he said he
felt good and bis father started to get some
wood for the fire when he heard him groan.
Mr. U lllia weut to him and saw he was
dying and sent for a neighbor. The poor
boy grasped his mother by the hand and
said: "this is mother, (looking at her) and
this is father." He theu turned his face
tovard the neighbor that had arrived, and
called him by name. . His mother asked
him if he was prepared to die, and he an
swered, that if he died cow, be would go to
heaven, and he passed off shortly without
much pain. He expressed bis desire to die.
when he was suffering the first night.
"Little Tomnne," as he was familiarly
called, was a bright boy and will be missed
by many friends and playmates.
The John Hay Fossil Fields.
The first knowledge given to the world of
the extensivo deposits in the region near
the John Day river was from the researches
of Prof. Thos. Condon, who, for several
years was stationed at The Dalles as pastor
of the Congregational church. His love of
geology as a scieuea was so intense that
nearly every summer he spent in the breaks
of the John Day and Crooked rivers, and
he would return laden with wealth which
he prized more highly than Croesus did his
lands and bays of gold. He had several
specimens of the mastodon, and one or two
very hue ones oi tiie nyperion, or mree-toeu
horse. Ihese be deposited in bis cabinet,
and the student of geology could spend
hour after hour here and be amply rewarded
for his efforts. During this time he wrote
articles for Harper's Weekly and the local
press, and the reputation ot iuistcrn Uregon
became well knowp. Liter on Mr. Condon
went to Eugene City to accept a professor
ship in the university, and he took his val
uable cabinet witn mm. ine ricniieuisoi
fossil remains where the Princeton students
spent several weeks during the past sum
mer, were nrst discovered by mm, ana
the rich deposits classified in their geologi
cal epochs.

In our telegraphic news to-day will be
found a dispatch from San Francisco which
announces tbe coming to the coast of a Sen
atorial Committee on business connected
with tbe Union and Central Pacific road?.
At least one member of this committee,Sen-
ator Morgan, of Alabama, was here this
summer. H.ach oi tnem nas a vote on au
questions of internal improvement. Will
not our uoaril or iraue seize its guiuen op
portunity,and make arrangements by which
these gentlemen npon their return can be
held a few hours at the Locks and a few
more at Tbe Dalles, accompanied by mem
bers of that body? An open river not
when our children are gray, but soon is
tbe crying need of this city. Here is an
opportunity. It will take much energy and
some money. But with the magnitude of
the interests at stake before ns there should
be not a moment's hesitation or delay. We
will treat this matter more at length in to
morrow's editorial columns. But begin to
act at once.

A VIGOROUS KICK.
A. merchant's Wife the Bone of Contention.
A Denunciation.
A well known merchant who has been greatly
oenefitted by Joy's Vecetablo Sarnaparilla, desired
to give it to his wife, who was very delicate, bnt
jut of caution first consulted his physician, Dr.
W. U. Oriswold of 850 Market street, Tbe doctor,
who is one of our leading practitioners objected,
saying he had never seen a sarsapaxilla that did
not contain potash, which thinned the blood;
that his patient did not have any vitality to lose,
and that what delicate people need is not de
creased vitality, but more blood. He consented
when assured that Joy's Vegetable EarsapariHa
was directly opposed to the old mistaken blood
thinning idea of other sarsaparillas, and that on
the contrary by specific vegetable alteratives it
itimulated the excretory organs, promoted diges
tion, and repaired nutrition, hence created uew
blood and was the very thing for feeble people.
rhe above explains the hundreds of cases la
which aged, enfeebled, delicate and run down
people, have been built np by Joy's Vegetable
Saxsaparilla after the potash sarsaparillas failed.

A MANSION BURNED.
South Bend, Ind., Oct. 9. The mag
nificent stone bouse of Clem Studebaker,
which cost about $300,000, was almost
entirely destroyed by lire this morniDg
The residence was one of the largest and
costliest iu the world. The interior was
finished in the costliest of native and
foreign woods, while it was furnished in
the richest style throughout and the art
gallery was filled with rare works of art,
aod these are all destroyed.
Studebukcr was absent as member of
the international congress, aud was to
have entertained that body in his home
the 19th instant. The rest of the family,
except Mrs. Studebaker and her grand
child, were also away.
Mrs. Studebaker discovered fire this
morning iu a closet under the rear stair
way. It was evidently started by the
spontaneous combustion of some old rags
the painters had been using and thrown
in there.
The flames spread all over the building
in an incredibly short time. The ser
vants had a narrow escape, and Sirs,
Studebaker herself was 'found on the
terrace almost insensible and dangerously
burned, aod clasping her grandchild in
her arms.
Owing to the careful manner in winch
the structure was built it was sup
posed to be nearly secure from fire.
Studebaker carried but $20,000 insurance.

COKE A AND CHINA.
Washington, Oct. 9. Dr. Allen, for
eign secretary to the Corean embassy, is
expected to start on a business trip to
Corea in regard to matters for the lega
tion. He will stop in Ohio a tew days
to see his family, and will then proceed
to San Francisco, taking the first steam
er to Hong Kong.
In a conversation about the relations
existing between the Corean and Chinese
legations here and the rumors that the
United Slates proposed sending an envoy
to investigate the situation as to the ex
act relations of the two countries, be
says: ''I wish they would, and then set
at test all these idle rumors, but if there
is such a step contemplated, we have no
intimation iroin the state department
to that effect. We certainly would
be consulted in rpgard to the matter.
The only mention I have heard of
it was from Admiral SbufekU,
who it is intimated, is to be sent on the
delicate mission, which is rather sugges
tive. The retired Chinese minister was
on the very best of terms with oar lega
tion, and there has not been any mention
lately of any objection to Corea having a
representative there. As to the new
minister and Prince Pak, there is the
most cordial friendship existing between
them, even more than with his prede
cessor. 1 think that all of tbe present
discussion springs from the meddlesome
activity of a citszen of the Uniled States
in the employ of tbe Corean government.
They are just about finding bim out, and
will no doubt soon dispense with hid
peculiar service.

will be let till early in the spring, ana
then the entire sixty miles remaining will
be let and finished as speedily as possi
ble. The branch running Irom tbe Cana

Washington, Oct. 10. Tbe official
report of Rear-AdmiralJoueite, president
of the board appointed to inspect the
steamer Dolphin upon her recent return
from the cruise around tbe world, has
been received by Secretary Tracy.
The report says: '-After a careful in

sweet throughout, showing much care
and attention on the part of tbo captuin
and the executive officers. In a few days
ehe will be ready for sea, and alter this a
cruise around the world. This vessel has
been three years and nine months in com
mission. Considering the service per
formed and her present admirable condi
tion, she is very creditable to the service.
I know of no vessel possessing so many
qualities and comforts to tbe officers and
men."
Secretary Tracy said to a reporter of the
Associated Press: "The Dolphin was the
vessel which it was claimed was struc
turally weak. She comes back aftei a
cruise of 57,000 miles with not a joint
sprung nor a sign of weakness about her
anywhere. The Dolphin will do."

Proctor Knott's Story.
Sitting in the rotunda of the Alexan
der Hotel of Louisville, Proctor Knctt
last night told this story:
"it was the most remarkable scene I
ever witnessed. It occured during my
early manhood, when I was attorney
general of Missouri. K-iliert Stewart was
then goveuor of that state. One day I
was in ins private oil ce when he par
doned a steamboat man for some crime.
What it was I have forgotten, but that
does not matter. The man had been
brought from the penitentiary to the gov
ernor's office. Ho was a large, powerful
fellow, with tbe rough manners of bis
class.
"The governor looked at tho steam-
boatman and seemed strangely affected.
He scrutinized him closely. Finally he
signed the document that restored bim to
liberty, but as he handed it to bim said :
xou will commit sorno other crime aod
be in the penilcntiary again, I fear.'
Tbe man solemnly promised that he
would not. The governor looked doubt
ful mused a few moments and said:
"You will go back on the liver and be
a mate again, I suppose?"
"lhe man replied that he would."
"Well, I want you to promise me one
thing, resumed the governor. 'I want
you to pledge your word that when you
are a mate again you will never take a
billet of wood in your band and drive a
sick boy out of a bunk to help you loud
your boat on a stormy night.
"lhe steamboat man said that be
would not and he inquired what the
governor meant by asking him such a
question!
"the governor replied: 'Because some
day that boy may become a governor and
you may want him to pardob you for a
crime. One dark ftormy night many
years ago you stopped your boat on the
Mississippi to take on a load of wood.
There was a boy on board who was
working his passage from New Orleans
to St. Louis, but he was very sick "f a
fever and was lying in a bunk. You bad
plenty of men to do tbe work, but you
went to that boy with a stick in your
hand and drove him, with blows and cur
se?, out into tbe wretched night and kept
him toiling like a slave until the load
was completed. I was that boy. Here
is your pardon. Neyer again be guilty
of such a brutality- And the man cow
ering and biding bis face, went out.
As 1 never heara of bim again I sup
pose be took care not to break the law."

S. Pierce, Charley Day and John Blevans,
all of Prairie creek.
Pierce claimed that he had purchased
the cattle, but be and his companions
were obliged to start with tbe officers lor
Mt. Idaho.
When the party reached Wilson's place
at the month of "Freeze Out" creek on
the Imnaha, about dusk Tuesday evening,
they proceeded to stake out their horses.
Pierce, taking advantage of the opportu
nity, put spuis to bis noise and started
don tbe bill. Alex Watnock, who was
with Pierce at the time, shott at him at a
distance of about ten paces, whereupon
Pierce lumped from bis borate and made
for the brush. Another shot was fired alv
him, but it is thought he was not struck.
The next morning his bat was found on
the ground where he escaped. Dav aud
Blevans were told that Pierce bad been,
killed, and they showed great nervous
ness during the night. Blevans promised
that as soon as they reached Idaho city
he and Day would make a statemement
of t' e whole affair, and said that he was
satisfied it would go much easier with
them if they would plead guilty.

Gentlemen Five years ago I was so un
fortunate as to contract an extremely bad
case of blood poison. My bones ached and
my muscles begM to swell and contact. I
was under treatment of the physician from
the inception of the di-av until I found
that he could do me no good. Then,
through the advice of a friend I began tak
ing S. S. S. Your medicine seemed to havs
an immediate effect I took sis bottles, and
to-day am sound and welL That was two or
three years ago, but I have seen no evidence
o! the return of the disease, and I take this
opportunity to thank you for what it has done
for me. It saved my life. You can refer
any one to me. R. M. Wall.

Gentlemen The mother of a member
of our firm was afflicted with a cancerous
ore on her face for about tveaty years.
During the past few years it troubled her
very much by continued pain and itching.
She used your S. S. S., and the sore has
disappeared and is apparently well. Should
it break out again, will advise you.

The buskin' bee wuz over ez the sun wuz
coin down
In a yaller blaze o'gloryjist behind the maples
brown,
The gals wuz gitlin' ready n the boys wuz
standin' by
To hitch on wbar they wanted to, or know
the reason why.
Of all the gals what set aroun' the pile of
corn that day.
A-twistina' off the rustlin' husks ez ef 'twas
only play,
The pertest one of all the lot 'n they wuz
pootv, too
Wuz Zury Hess, whose l.-iffin eyes woud look
ye through and through.
Now it happened little Zury found a red ear
in the pile
Afore we finished buskin', 'n ye orter seen
her smile,
Fur, o' course, she bed the priverlcge, ef she
wuq only dare,
To choose the feller she liked best 'n kiss him
then 'n there.
My! how we puckered up our lips 'n tried to
look our best.
Each feller wished he,d be the one picked
out trom all the rest.
'Till Zury, arter hangin' back a leetle spell or
so,
Got up 'n walked right over to the last one in
the row.
She jist reached down 'n fetched her lips on
to the ol' white head
O Peter Sims, who s eighty years ef he s a
day, 'tis said:
She looked so sweet ol' Peter tho't an angel
cum to say
As how his harp wuz ready in the land o
'tamal day.
Mad! Wall I should say I was; n I tol' her
roin' bum
As how the way she slighted me hed made
me sorter glum,
'N that I didn't think she'd shake me rsght
aiore ine crowd
I wuzn't gointer stand it 'n I said so pooty
loud.
Then Zury drapped her laffin'
whispered to me low,
eyes
"I didn't kiss ye 'fore the crowd 'causes
'cause I love ye so,
'N I thought ye wudn't mind it cf I kissed
ol' Pete instead.
Because the grave is closin' jist above his
pore ol' head."
Well, wimmin's ways is queer, fomcthncs,
and we don't alius know
Jist what's a-thrrobbin' in their hearts when
they act thus n so
All I know is that when I bid good night to
Zury Hess,
I loved her mor 'n ever, 'n I'll never love
her less.

The Polish poet, Henryk Siei.kiwiiz,
is making a tour in the Tatra Mcuj
tains, where he is collecting a ttore of
legeuds, poems and proverbs from th i
Gatician peasantry. Their stories about
death are cnrioU3ly ongnal. Hero is one
of tbe most interesting of them: Once
on a time a farmer went from the Tatra
toward Nowvtarg, carrying with him his
axe and his borer. He had not gone far
before an old woman joined bim and be
gan to chatter. 1 lie farmer quickly rec
ognized that she was no other than Death,
whot in tbe legends of Polish Galicia, is
always feminine (Ta Smieve). He was
naturally anxious to get rid of such a
dangerous fcllow-travelt-r as soon as pos
sible. S) he bored a holo in the ground
and said: "Look in here!'' Death looked
in the hole, but could see nothing. ''You
must creep into it," said the peasant, "and
you will behold a wonderlul sight." So
Death went in head-foremost, Tbe peas
ant took advantage of the situation and
hnstened to fill up the hole. So Death
was buried, and ho went on his way re-
joicirg. Nobody died 111 that whole dis
trict for many long years. At I ait Daatb's
gravedigger became so ill and feeble with
age that he longed to get out ol tbe world
he could no longer enjoy. So he went to
Death's grave, restored the old woman to
liberty, and she gently put an end to his
pains.
