The following from the Ellensburgh Reg
ister, might be characterized as a dirty Dem
ocratic tnck: "A weary and disgusted im
migrant from Nebraska was found yester
day near Pasco sleeping soundly under the
soothing effects of triple extract of rye,
and on his breast was a card which bore the
legend: 1300 miles from home, 60 miles
from wood and one half mile from h L 1
kept my eye on Pasco.' "
Baker Democrat: A probable fatal acci
dent occurred last Saturday to Charley, the
13 year-old son of iL B. M. Boyd. The
boy was out hunting in the Toney lane be
low the city. He got into a wagon to re
turn home, placing the muzzle of his shot
gun carelessly nnder his left arm. By some
means the gun was discharged, the load
striking tbe shoulder of the boy making a
frightful wound which may yet cause his
death. Drs. J. M. Boyd and G. W. Big
ger were called and dressed the boy s
wound and they are not at all confident of
saving his life.
Democrat: There is at present between
three and four feet of snow at Cornucopia
and the indications point strongly to the
heaviest fall this winter ever known in that
locality. At Cracker City there is more
snow now than there was all last winter.
In the Greenhorn aud Granite mining sec
tions there is already an abundance of snow.
Tbe same can be sard of the other mountain
sections and not only the miners, but every
person in Baker county is in consequence
happy at the prosperous outlook for a great
water supply the coming season.
In our thanksgiving to morrow we should
not forget the poor and needy, and see that
the naked are clothed and the hungry fed
By so doing, we render a greater service to
Christ and His religion than by repeating
the longest prayer on record, or attending
to all the formalities of church discipline.
We truly worship God by rendering unto
others what is just and due them, and. by
kind acts make the world better for hav
ing lived in it. This is pure and undefiled
religion, and that which cannot be denied
by skeptic or infidel.
One of the Western Stage Company's
stages coming from Linkville to the rail
road at Ager, was robbed about daylight
Tuesday morning fifteen miles from Ager,
near the Shovel creek spiings, by a lone
highwayman. Tbe robber secured between
$300 and $400. It is believed, says the
Valley Record, that he is the same man who
robbed the Boseburg stage one day last
week, as he was reported to have stopped
at Grant's Pass Friday night. These nu
merous one-man robberies around here look
like the work of "Black Bart," it ho, it is
reported, has returned to the coast again.
Tl ere is said to be a large band of wild
horsts, led by a thoroughbred known to the
stockmen as tbe "Outlaw Stud," ranging
between Truckee, Nevada county, and Pea
vine, Neyada. Years ago the stud, a fine
racer, escaped to the mountains and bas
since defied capture. By desperate riding
btr ckmen manage to get into the band every
3 ear and drive out their colts. The horses
range on the highest peaks, beyond where
cattle or sheep often go. They only go to
water once a day, and then in single file
down the mountain trail as fast as they can
run. They go back at their leisure, feeding
by the way.
W. W. Union: A newly appointed justice
of the peace in Northern Idaho waa asked
what he would charge to marry a forlorn
looking couple that had appeared to him
from tbe backwoods. Tbe J. P. thought he
could perform the ceremony for fifty cents.
Tbe man allowed that he might raise that
sum. After tbe ceremony was performed
the justice called for bis fee. After consid
erable fumbling in the pockets of hia over
alls the bridegroom thought he had either
lost the 50 cents or luff it "to hum," l'ne
J. P. having no desire to lose so large a
prize as 50 cents, calmly informed the rus
tic youth that he was "unmarried." A by
stander came to the rescue of tbe yonng
man and loaned him 50 cents, which w:
handed to his honor. The justice then re
marked to the couple that tney were again
married, and that they were at liberty to
resume their journey.

Albany Democrat: While overhauling an
old picture Mr. Gerhard, of this city, fouud
an old poster advertising an entertainment

that place. Mr. Blowhard and others were
to take part in a genuine "ye old folks"
show. Mr. Gerhard will send the poster to
the Agricultural College to be placed among
its curiosities.
Vancouver Register: Word comes that
Mr. Geo. Freeman, of Bridal Veil, was seri
ously if not fatally injured by a team of
four horses running away down the mount
ain with a load of hay. Tbe team and all
went over a precipice of titty feet, down
into the bottom of the creek. Tbe man
jumped, but while trying to rescue the
horses by severing the tugs one of the ani
mals kicked him. Mr. Freeman is a hard
working man and has a wife and two small
children.
Fish Commissioners Thompson and Reed
tell the Ortgonian that tbe prospects for a
good crop of salmon, they say, are most en
couraging. At the Clackamas hatchery be
tween 4,000,000 and 5.000,000 eggs are
hatching while at the new hatchery at War
rensdale the number is about 1,000,000. Of
the eggs taken to this hatchery from Clack
amas not over one per cent, were lost in
transportation. As alterations . and im
provements have been made in the appara
tus, the per cent, of the fish as compared
with the total . number of eggs, will be
higher this year than last.
Every city is judged by its local paper.
Flaming advertisements and write-ups no
longer carry conyiction. The public looks
npon them in the light of so-many-cents-per-line
bombast. The local papers give
the current events of the day and its adver
tising columns are a fair index to the busi
ness prosperity of the city or locality in
which it is published. Theoretically tbe
people delight iu being duped; practically,
the people are too intelligent for such trans
parent methods. v Consenting, they refuse
to believe. A well-conducted local paper
commands respect, teaches truth and in
spires conviction.
Eart Ortgonian; Some sneak thief en
tered a building in the lower end of town,
used as a store-room by J. H. Keables, and
stole a quantity of fruit and preserves, two
cases of machine oil, and other articles.
Tbe fruit had been put np by Mrs. Keables
for the winter's use, and the thief did not
possess liberality enough in bis make-up to
leave a single jar, but stole it all. It may
be high-toned enough to walk away with a
cool million or two, but a brute who will
steal provisions from a family who is illy
able to bear tbe loss, would rob his grand- .
mother of the gold rims of her spectacles or
sand-bag a man for a four-bit piece. It is a
specimen of arrant cussedoess which should
subject the thief to a long term in the pen if
discovered.
A man of wealth named Phiueas Fogg
laid a wager of 50,000 in a London club
house that he would travel louud the
world in eighty days. He made tbe trip
and won hU wager. Jules Verne recites
the story in bis novel of "Around the
World in Eighty Days," the title of the
play that is to be given to-night at the
Mozart. The scenes aud incidents through
which Mr. Fogg passes are all depicted in
the drama, which gives abundant opportu
nity for spectacular effect, with National
dances and Amazonian marches. While
playing at Baltimore recently, numbers
were turued away nightly, so tbe press say
in their very favorable reports of the play.
There are seven acts and thirteen tableaux,
and it takes forty people to run it. The

Wm, G. Simpson performed the ceremony
with the impressive service of the Metho

a resident of The Dalles for a number of
years, and was, by all, highly esteemed as a
young lady of rich mental and moral en
dowment. The bridegroom is the son of
Judge J. B. Condon, long and favorably
known in Wasco county, and is a young
man of promise greatly respected. He is

TUAXKSVIVtKU DAY.
Its
Observance In the City Family

From Friday's Daily
Yesterday was a bright and spring-like
day. The air was balmy, and very many of
our citizens spent the afternoon on their
porches enjoying the sunshine. It was like
hearing from another world to read in the
dispatches of blizzards and show storms in
the east, and il could hardly be realize!
that such a distance would make the diner
ence in climate. But the fact remained,
A brighter, more enjoyable day was rarely
ever enjoyed in this latitude in November,
and was snch as reminded one of the early
days of spring.
In very many instances family reunions
were had, where all had not met for many
long years. This beautiful New England
custom is worthy of being followed by
others. There should be one day in the
long year when brother should greet broth
er, sister sister, and all these should con
gregate around the family board to evidence
their affection for parents. New England
has given us our religious observations and
other customs, but none more hallowed
than the annual meeting of families on
Thanksgiving day.
During the afternoon all business houses
were closed, and the city bad the appear
ance of a religious holiday. Tbe beach was
crowded with an eager throng of men, who
passed the time in shooting at turkeys,
geese and ducks. This was fiue sport, but
we understand that some of these birds cost
our sliootists from fro to a plece. x ne
fun was worth the amount of money paid,
and the birds were thrown in.
In the evening the Catholic fair attracted
the mual crowd, and all seemed to. enjoy
the occasion. ' Tbe programme was a most
entertaining one, and ail present seemed to
amuse themselves looking at the articles on
exhibition and in tbe ramea which lol
lowed.
At tbe old armory, the Ladies Aid Society
of the Congregational church gave an en
tertaiument, which has rarely been equalled.
and never excelled. The opening chorus by
ladies Nanou was excellently rendered,
and had the effect to arouse the enthusiasm
the people. This was followed by a
reading by Miss Towles, in her own unex
celled style, and sustained her well-earned
reputation as an elocutiouist. Ihe chorus
by the C. C. club was characteristic of the
organization, and was well received. Miss
Angle sang in her best voice, and to any
one who appreciates melody and harmony
this was a rare treat. This lady is an ac
complished musician, and in rendering songs
has not an . equal in Ihe .Dalies, "ine
Courtin' " reading by Mr. McDonald with
tableaux, was an especial feature of the
entertainment, aud was truly enjoyed
bv the audience. Ihe wax tyures were
very attractive, and pleased very many,
"Meet Me bv Moonlight Alone, was ex
cellently sang by the ladies. Tht grand
National Hymn, by the audience, was a
fitting close to the performance.
Mire Successful Every Day.
From Friday's Daily.
Our friends will hardly say that we
do
not try, as nearly as possible, to keep our
promises. Naturally the band is always
there, but is always new by its beautiful,
well rendered selections. Miss C. Mesplie,
in excellent voice, sang a beautiful song,
and was loudly applauded. Messrs. Law
lor brought tbe bouse down by their comic
songs aud recitations, aud were not allowed
to retire until they had given several others.
Ud Wednesday the phonograph was in
operation for two hours and a half, until
the operator was tired and his foot stiff
from moving the machine. Several songs,
dialogues and whistling choruses came out
in good shape. Tbe machine was much ad
mired. A clarionet and cornet solo was
played into the phonograph by Messrs.
Tully and Benton, and several bugle calls;
but the operator not being in good health
could not give an exhibition last night, but
hopes for his own and frieuds' sake to give
a free exhibition this evening. Terpsichore
performances are always pleasing to the
people, and those lost night were most cer
tainly eujoyed. Tbe Mikado band, assisted
by Messrs. Tully, Benton and Gottfried
and perhaps others, furnished excellent
dancing music, and the fifty cents charged
for the bon mots and aamission made the
numbers of the dance select, and created
comfort. This was tbe object of the charge.
Thanksgiving day is over, the fair dining
room is closed which people will regret
but the fair itself will continue until Sat
urday night. This was found necessary in
order to dispose of the many artices. R-if-
niug is getting to be a serious matter, and
we must commence to look for our share.
Wednesday's list is as follows: Harry BSan-
chard, writing cabinet; O. R. Donald, silk
suspenders; R. McNeil, pair pants; August
Bui'hler, painted table scarf; Mrs. J.
O'Leary, English-riding bridle and whip;
James Divers, plush toilet set; H. J. Maier,
case of wine; Katie Toohig, cbina cup and
saucer; C. E. Corson, brass tabb lamp.
Thursday's Phil Brogan, family Bible;
Mrs. T. Baldwin, plush guitar; August
Buchler, cherry rocker; T. D. Whyer,
smoking case; AL Bet tin gen, barrel of
Hour; Mrs. Sampson, castor. Numerous

Ou Friday afternoon Rulla Fogg, a oung
man, almost a boy, was brought before Jus
tice Taylor on a charge of petty larceny,
and being convicted, was fined $50 and
costs. He was sent to jail. This young
fellow is an example of base ingratitude.
He caine to the city about a week since
destitute, half clad and hungry. On apply
ing to the Western Hotel, he was taken in
from motives of charity, and given food and
shelter. On Sunday, while the people in
the house were at dinner, Fogg sneaked in
to a family bedroom in the house and stole
$20. When tbe coin was missed a number
of people were suspected, among them a
lady who was staying at the hotel. hen
young Fogg heard of the suspicion against
her he immediately asserted bis belicft in
her guilt, and expressed the opinion that
she should be kicked out without any fur
ther inveatigat.on. During the past few
days it has been noticed that Fogg, before
so penniless and ill-clad as to awaken sym
pathy, was sporting a new suit of clothes
and a watch, while the jingle of coin in his
pocket was discernable. This aroused sus
picion, and a close watch was kept. On
Thursday he was cornered and forced to
confess the robbery, with tbe above result.

THE QUESTION SETTLED.
This cut Is a faithful
picture of the well known
establishment of Thomas
Price & Son, at 624 Sacra
mento street, S. F, As tbe
leading chemists of tho
west, they were asked to
settle the question as to what sarsaparillas were
in fact purely vegetable. We present their re
port.
" We hare made careful chemical analyses of
love ml well known brands of sarsaparilla, and
bave found them all with the single exception of
Joy's to contain Iodideof Potassium. As n result
we aro enabled to pronounco Joy s to be the only
purely vegetaDie sanwparuia now on me marx.ee
wmcn nas come unaer our onservation.
Modem medicine has proven that all ordinary
face eruptions are not caused by diseased blood,
but by indigestion and sluggish circulation,
which call for vegetable alteratives, instead of
mineral blood purifiers like Iodide of Potassium.
Joy's Vegetable Sarsaparilla being the latest, Is
the first to discard tho old notions aud proceed
esdar the modem theory. Its cures attest the
roundness of the theory. It is the talk of tbe
hour.

men who write long screeds in photo
graphic papers on how to take photo-
grapTis, whom the experiences of a single
iny "under the skylight" would cause
them to wish they had never been born
He then went on to speak of the un
reasonable demands which many sitters
make.
"At one time," he eeli "a tody
brought three children, two boys and a
girl, to me, to have their pictures taken.
They came all prepared, with a doll for
the gii-1 and a gun ami a bobby horse rot
the boys. Well, ther was a row at the
start. Both boys wanted to mount the
horse. Wo got that settled after a time.
but only to strike a cew trouble. Of
course you all know that the nearer to
gether you group the objects to be photo
graphed the better picture you will get
Well.thia woman was a genius in her way;
she did not want her children grouped
close together as other people's were, but
she wanted the little girl taken in the
middle of the room and the boys off in
opposite corners. Of course I told het
it could not be daz e, whereupon she
said: 'Well, Mr. Bogardus, I have always
been told that you were very accommo
dating. I have been to three or foui
photographers and they all told me tht
same thing. I don't see as you are an;
noro accommodating than the rest of
them.' At another time a man, an Irish
man, of course, wanted a carte-de-visito,
nd he wanted it 'life size.' Some peo
ple, by tho way, never seem to under
stand the difference between 'full length'
and 'life size.'- I told him that the plate
wouldn't hold it. 'Then take it with the
legs hanging down,' were his instruc
tions. Gen. Logan, who used to sit for
me, did not often joke, but he did occa
sionally, lie came in one day and 6aw
hanging on the wall a picture of a man
whom ho greatly disliked. He turned
to me and said : 'I see you take pictures
of everybody.' 'Yes, was my answer;
'that is what I am here for.' 'I suppose
you would take & picture of the devil if
you could get him to sit for you. 'Of
course. I suppose I could run off a good
many of them in Wasliington T 'Yes,"
he replied ; 'that's the best place in the
world to 6ell them.'
"An old lady once came to me who
wanted a picture, 'full face, but a little
three cornered.' I once asked Dr. Tyng
if he would not prefer a side view, and
he replied: 'No, sir. I am an upright
man. I don't turn to the right or left
for any man.' But amid all the fun we
also see some very sad things. I remem
ber once a woman came in with a bundle
in her arms which when unrolled proved
to bo the dead body of her little baby,
which she wanted photographed. I re
member once one of our venerable
judges came in with his wife. I took
both their pictures. He was perfectly
satisfied with his, but she did not seem
exactly pleased with hers, said it was too
old. Tho judge turned to her and re
marked: 'Well, mother, if you wanted
a handsome picture you should have be
gun thirty years ago.' That settled it;
she had nothing more to say. A lady
came to me once to make an appoint
ment for a friend who, she said, was
very difficult to suit. She had tried
dozens of photographers and had never
been suited. Of course F promised to
do the best I could for her, At the ap-
pjmted time the lady cae. She waa
old, and weighed at least 200 pounds.
Her skin looked like a boiled lobster, and
she was clad in low neck and 6hori
sleeves. I did not wonder she was never
suited. Well, I did my best, but when
the picture was made she agreed with
mo perfectly that it did look horrid. She
did not order any of them." New York

BEFORE IT IS BORN.
Borne
Startling; Statements
Interest.
of General
Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes, on being
asked when the training of a child should
begin, replied, "A hundred years before
it is born."
Are we to infer from this that this gen
eration is responsible for the condition
of the race a hundred years from now ?
Is this wonderful generation the natural
result of the proper diet and medicines
of a hundred years ago?
It is conceded in other lands that most
of the wonderful discoveries of the
world in this century have come from
this country. Our ancestors were reared
id log cabins, and suffered hardships
and trials.
But they lived and enjoyed health to a
ripe old age. Tbe women of those days
would endure hardships without appar
ent fatigue that would startle those ol
the present age.
Why was it?
One of the proprietors of the popular
remedy known as Warner's safe cure,has
been faithfully-investigating the cause,
and has called to his aid scientists aa
well as medical men, impressing upon
them the fact that there cannot be an
effect without a cause. This ineitiga
lion disclosed the fact that in the golden
times simple remedies were adminis
tered, compounded of herbs and roots,
which were gathered and stored in the
lofts of the log cabins, and when sickness
came on, these remedies from nature's
laboratory were used with the best effects.
What were these remedies? What
were they used for? After untiring and
diligent search thev have obtained the
formulas so generally used for various
disorders.
Now the question is. how will the olden
time preparations affect the people of
this age, who have been treated, under
modern medical schools and codes, with
poisonous and injurious drugs. This
test has been carefully pursued, until
they are convinced that 'the preparations
they now call Warner's Log Cabin reme
dies are what our much abused systems
required.
Anions them is what is known as War
Pitcher's Castoria;
ner b rog Laoin saraaparma, ana tney
frankly announce that they do not con
sider the sarsaparilla of so much value
in iisei as it is in the comhinahon ol
the various ingredients which together
wont marvAiousiy upon the system.
They also have preparations for other
diseases, such as "Warner's Log Cabin
cougn ana consumption remedy," Jof)
ituui nops ana nucna remedy," "War
ner's Log Cabin hair tonic." They havs
fireai connuence mat tney have a cure
for the common disease of catarrh, which
they give the name of "Log Cabin rose
crenm." Also a "Jxg Cabin plaster,"
which they are confident will supplant
all others, and a liver pill, to he used
separately or in connection with the
other remedies.
We hope that the public will not be
disappointed in these remedies, but will
leap a benefit from the investigations.
and that the proprietors will not be em-
barrascil in their introduction bv dealers
trying to substitute remedies that have
been so familiar to the shelves of our
druggists. This line of remedies will be
used instead of others. Insist nnon vnnr
uruggjsi geuing mem ior vou it he hasn t
them yet in stock, and we feel confident
that these new remedies will receive
approbation at our reader's hands, as the
founders have used every care in their
prcparuuun.
Doles of Jrtsb.
Doles of fish aro very numeicno, and
with particulars of a few examples we
close our paper. John Thako, in hi3 will,
drawn up m 1567, left his house and land
on condition that his heirs, annually on
Friday, in tho first week in Lent, gavouc
the poor of Clavering, in Essez, on9 bar
rel of white herrings and a caclo of red
herrings. At Dronfleid, Derbyshire, in
1077, Kichard Stevenson left half a hun
dred of herrings, and as much bread as
could be made from a "strike" of good
wheat. The doles were to be distributed
every Friday during Lent forever. At
Farnham Royal, Buckinghamshire, in
1664, David Slater gave money to pir-
-ciiase bread and herrings and a pair of
kid gloves annually for the parson of the
parish tor the time being. The glove?
were to Do purchased ready for the first
Sunday in Lent. At Newmarket in
Suffolk there was a bequest of fish and
fagots. Chambers' Journal.
Hypnotized by the Phonograph.
Dr. Pinel, of Paris, is said to have suc
ceeded in hypnotizing several subjects
by . means of the phonograph. ' All fie
commands riven through this channel
were, ho declares, as readily obeyed as
thoso which ho uttered directly, and
'suggestions" of every possible sort were
as effectually communicated through the
medium of the machine as if made viva
voce. The conclusion which he dedu
ces from Ius experiments is that the re
ceived theory of a magnetic current pass
ing from the operator to the subject is
entirely baseless, and that the real cause
of tho phenomena of hypnotism is ner
