In Walla Walla Monday evening a young man named Joseph 8. Hadley met with a serious accident, by the horses which he was driving becoming fright ened and running away. Mr. Hadley was thrown to the ground, his left arm broken by the fall, two ribs fractured and bead badly bruised.

The funeral took place immediately alter the body reached Hoot - wgton and was fairly attended by friends of the deceased. We learn from the Hood River Glacier that James Langlllo's barn and ten tons of nay and 1500 teet ot seasoned oa& luinoer were destroyed by fire last week. The are is supposea to nave caugnt irora cin ders blown from a forest fire.

They ha e also been negotiating with Theodore Kruger for his property on Osooyoos lake, at the boundary line. This looks as though they intended to bnlid to the line this winter, as they be gin to realize the importance of the Okano gan country. - Mrs. Mary Cavanangh, who resides near Huntington, says the Baker .City Demo crat, took an overdose of poison last Sat urday afternoon, and is lying- in a very precarious condition. Dr. Clymer was at once summoned to her bedside, but at last accounts the lady was sinking very fast and her life despaired of. Mrs. Cav anangh is an aged lady and those ac quainted with the history of the family state that domestic troubles are account able for the attempt at suicide. - Mr. Walker, superintendent and chief of surveys for the N. C. O. railroad, saya the Lakeview Examiner, is here in charge of a surveying party..' The surveyors will be here with the line of survey in a day or two. Mr. Walker ia very much pleased with the route from Amedee here. He says there will be ho heavy grading and on much of the line there will be scarcely any grading required. He came np the direct line on the east side of Goose lake, aed has been instructed to maae an inspection-or me route down the west side with a view to ascertaining the cost of construction, right 'ot wav, etc., of the prospective routes. The Harrisbnrg Courier says that a das tardly attempt was made to burn the S.

I K, U was tired for wrecking the south bound overland traiti, and as that train ia known to carry considerable money nearly every night, it is thought that ro bery must have been the object.

Io the middle of this curve about 250 feet from the dump, is where the fire was started. Union-Journal: Monday , Ber. R. H.

It is reported that on Sunday a lady from Walla Walla occupied the ' pulpit iu the Methodist church at Whitman, Riffle being one of the congregation. After the lady bad concluded her discourse Riffle arose and signified his intention to address the audience. The audience would not listen to him and he became indignant, and came to the city the next morning and in terviewed the attorney on the propriety of having those who attended the meeting arrested, but he was finally persuaded to drop the matter. - Baker City Democrat: A victim of an over dose of morphine, t ken with suicidal intent, is Eben P.

W. iiiggers. Before going to press his condition was such aa to occasion the great est alarm and awaiting the final resnlt the Democrat is not inclined to enter into de tails, preferring rather to allow the case to be fuliv investigated by the proper officials Safe to say, however, the dose of poison was taken by his own bands, and there is a woman at the bottom of it. Portland Dispatch: Two thousand men re at word along the line of the Great Northern west of the Cascades.

A special train of several coaches passed through the city about 8 o clock this morn ing, with the Vancouver soldiers who had been station-id at Wardner en route to Van couver, Wash. The train stopped a half hour here for breakfast. The soldiers from Ft. Spokane will yet remain in the Coeur d Alene mines; but all others have returned to their posts.

East Oregonian: A fatal accident occurred near Eudicott a few days ago to John Thomas, the 13-year old grandson of W. IS. Bloomer.. The. boy Was riding after horses, when his norse stepped into a badger-hole and fell upon him. The boy's feet hung in the stirrups, and the horse regaining his po sition, ran, dragging him about 200 yards. The affair was witnessed by the boy's sister, who ran to him, finding him dead, with his body badly crushed and bis' limbs broken. Yesterday afternoon, at the time of the funeral of Mr. Albert Anderson, some chil dren were playing on the bank of Mill creek within the cemetery enclosure, when the bauk caved on them, burying one al most completely An soon as the auuidetit was known several persons ran to his assist ance, and he was removed from his perilous sitnation. The bov was not seriously in jured, and soon afterwards was running around as lively as ever. Mo one apparently knew the child, and bis name could not be ascertained. The business portion of the oity of Tekoa, Wash., was destroyed by fire eatlv Tuesday morning, aud a loss of nearly (40,000 suf- f red by the business men. No residences were burned, and consequently there is no destitution. The water mains were con nected the day previously, bnt it was not running in sufficient foroe to stop the spread of the flames. Among the losers we sre sorry to see the name of Mr. J.. C. Bald win a former resident f this oity whose loss is estimated at 94500, with an insur ance of $2500. Mr. Baldwin is an excellent business man, and no doubt will soon re cover from this misfortune. Additional reports from Meacham station say that the fires in the timber near that place, are doing much damage. H. Kopittke & Co., who own about 1000 acres of timber, says the East Oregonian, have sustained considerable loss. Not a stick of timber is left on a quarter section belonging to J. L. Sharon. A cabin and twenty cords of wood were also destroyed, and nothing remains except a stone well. Mr. Sharon will sell the well, if anyone desires to pull it up and hanl it away,. S. P. Hutchinson ia also a loser to the extent of much timber and wood, and other parties are sustaining losses. Smoke is very dense st Meacham. From Kridav s Daily. Mr. A. McLeod, of Kingsley, is ia the city to-day. Mr. Ben. McAtee, of Tygh Valley, is in the city to-day. . , A carload of horses from the east leit the stockyards this morning for Seattle. The street preacher last night attracted such a crowd on the sidewalk as to blockade it to pedestrians, and the marshal ordered the people to give passage way. The street talker stopp d his preaching; but the crowd still remained on the sidewalk. Mr. George Stiles, who has been iu the city for the past seven months, left on the afternoon train tor Portland, where he will make bis residence. Mr. Stilea is a good chemist, of a genial, generous disposition, and made very many friends, who will re gret his departure. Sentinel: The citizens of Goldendale are just now on the alert for fire bugs, and well they may be, for. a burning cloth was dis covered under tbe walk in front of Baker Bros, store. A man with an unsavory rep utation is at present being carefully watched. ' Should the fire occur a necktie party is quite likely to follow. . The Union Pacific system will extend to its patrons tbe usual reduced rates on round trip tickets which will include admission to the Exposition, selling on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays of each week. Detailed information can be had by apply to E. E. Ly tie, agent. sptl2-oct20 The report of fin-arms last night was the cause of considerable alarm, and some ner vous women imagined that tbe scenes at Homestead were being re-enacted on eur streets; but on inquiry it was fonnd that one of the militia companies was filing blank cartridges in the outskirts of town, and tbe alarm passed away. . Mr. R. B. Gilbreatb, of Corvallis, but a former resident of this county, came over the Cascade mountains to Boyd Wednesday night. He says the timber io the mount ains are all on fire, and it was with g eat difficulty that be could drive his team on the road. Tbe Barlow gate route, so he in forms us, is literally impassable, by reason of the forest fires. - The greatest interest centers this after noon aronnd Justice Schutz court, in which is being tried the case of State vs. Dan Maloney, lor assault and battery. S. E. Ferris is tbe complaining witness, and the state ia represented by the district attorney and judge Bennett and the defendant by Hon. E. B. Dufur and Mr. J. L. Story. Up to the bonr of going to press the witnesses were still being examined. To manufactures like the Royal Baking Powder Company, the public is under a large debt of giatitude for the increased purity of articles of food sold at the pres ent day. JLlie reports of the omcial govern ment investigation of baking powders show the Royal to be stronger and purer than any other. It is quite evident that neither ingenuity, science ror expense can in any way improve upon the Royal Baking Pow der as now before the public. An aged man, by the name of Carter, living in Chehalem valley, the father of the boys who captured Wilson, the Wilwaukie murderer, went into the woods west of bis home last week and in rambling around got into one of ibe quagmires so numerous in that section, and for three days remained there slowly sinking. He was found Friday by a man who had cnanoed to pass tnat way aud rescued. When discovered, his head was all that remained above the surface Speechless and almost dead he was taken home, and now, by careful treatment, be may recover. Mr. R. . Saltmarshe will have on sale as soon as they arrive from the east a large number of Deane's Dnhorning pencils. which are now extensively used in all cattle countries. Thev perform the operation without the least cruelty to the animal and without drawing blood. When the calf is young, and about the time ot branding t hese are placed on the head, and it matures without the least appearance ot horns They have been tested in this icinity and have worked excellently, and are the one thing wanted by cattle owners. Goldendale Sentinel: As we go to press the sad news reaches np that that steilmii young man. Wilson X. Jttallock, is dead Mr. Bullock was one of Klickitat county's very best vonng men. and his death was a severe shock to all who knew him. Besides his aged mother, brothers and sisters, ho leaves a wife and child to mourn his loss. We did not learn the nature of the disease, but that he was taken down Snnday with burning fever and lived scarce 48 hours after bis prostration. He was not thought to be dangerously ill nntii a few minutes before his death. Items From Tygh Eidge. KlNGSLEY, Spt, 13, 1892. Editor Tuias-lIousTAcrsKB - Not seeing anything in the oolumns of the Times-Mountaineer, from our neighbor hood of late, I thought, perhaps,' an item or two would not be amiss. Threshing will be nearly, if not altogether. finished this week. There are six threshing machines in the neighborhood of Hingsley, 1 he wheat is turning out better than was expected, snd the berry is of a superior quality: Oats and barley don t yield as well, and is inferior to last year s crop. Uur town has taken a boom this summer and town property has increased in value There have been several buildings erected. Among the number ia a Calamity hall, a story and a half building. The lower story is to be used as a public ball, and the upper story for the party's own private use. i be building is a credit to the followers of Weaver. .There is another fine building built for Mr. 8 ncltland, and is used as a whisky mill and is running night and day. gather ing in the nickels from the different thresh ing crews. The mayor of the town is considering the propriety of getting the county surveyor to lay otf another -addition to be known as Cox's addition to Kjogsley. The proposed addition would be very beneficial to Kings- ley, as it would furnish the town with sum- citnt water, an article that is rather scarce at present. Mr. E. L Boynton, mine host of the Kingsley hotel, bad a bole sunk fifty or sixty teet deep. We do not know whether be was digging for oil or water, but we un derstand that be got neither. - ; Observer Letters Advertised.

The tem perature has not been very high, in fact it was about as usual at this time of year. There has been a goodly amount of snn shine, though at times the smoke was so dense as to completely obscure Old Sol himself. The nights were particularly cool, the thermometer hovered around tbe freezing point on several occasions in ex posed places. Crops The weather has been very favorable for threshing operations, which are nearly completed by this time. A large hay crop is being laid bv. Corres pondents in the potato growing districts are disgusted with the way in which their crop has turned out. The oat crop in Sherman county has been secured. Fruit is doing tairly well, inougv tne cooi nights are not helping it any. pastures are showing the ill eflecta of the long drought and are fast drying up.

A meeting of citizens called to take measures towards tbe proper entertainment of the Oregon Press association in this city on October 4th next was feeld at the court bouse Wednesday night: A'though not as largely attended as was expected, it made np in enthusiasm what it lacked in num bers, tbe best business and professional in terests being well represented. The meeting was called to order' at 8 o'clock by County Judge Geo. C. Blakeley, who, after briefly explaining the object of the meeting, nominated Mr, John Michel), of the Times-Mountaineer, as chairman.- Motion seconded aod carried unanimously. Mr. Geo. P.

' ' The following is the letter referred to: Portland, Ore., Sept. 12, 1892. John Michell, Esq., The Dalles: Noticing that there is to be a Dublie meeting neia weanesaay evening to taki action on receiving the members of tbe Press association October 4th, I wiab to say that we want yon folks to go to as little trouble aod expense aa possible. Wben the association discussed the matter last year. it was decided and acknowledged to be compliment not only to Tbe Dalles, bnt to- astern Uregon. The association knows that Eastern Oregon has never had a fair deal at tne nanas ot congress. We wane an open river to the sea. The object in giving it to Astoria one vear ago, was to bring the Columbia river beforu the public as much as possible, and it the same thing that prompted the choosing of The Dalles as onr next place of meeting; JNot only ine Dalles, but the entire state will be benefitted by the session soon to be held, and every newspaper should be repre sented, especially every publication in East ern Uregon. .Let none remain at home. We are going to The Dalles for pure bnsi- ss. If there are any points about open ing up this grand old river that you can show onr members do it; but don't ask tbe . good citizens to go to unnecessary expense. especially when they will only get a small portion of the benefits to be derived from the visit. ... Having paid close attention to the amount of advertifing given Portland by the coun try tress during the months following the annual meeting here two years ago, and having placed a money value upon it, by taking the regular rates for advertising, it amounted to tbUUU, and in audition created a better opinion of Portland than the press ever before had. As to the Astoria meet ing, l Cgure that that city bas- received $8000 worth of advertising during the past yeai, tnat can oe traced directly to tbe press meeting. Ibis year there are lot publications in Oregon. Those not represented at tbe meeting will mention the fact any wav. of the meeting, where held, object of its going to yonr city, etc., and while tbe mention in tome of them will be- short, you may rest assured tnat every line written about Tne Dalles and tbe press meeting, if out oat and charged for at regular rates, between now and the next session, wonld foot op some thing in the neighborhood of 110,000. As to tbe number who will attend, it ia bard to Bay, bnt 1 will place it at 100 from letters now in my omce. 1 doubt if it ex ceeds that. As tbe Washington press asso ciation meets the same day. many of onr members wish to pay a fraternal visit and return home by way of the sound. Tbe Union Paoifio has tendered transportation to Spokane, and the Northern from Spo kane io roruano via tne sound. Albekt Tozikb, Secretary. - -Rewarded for Brutality. ;- Cle-Eiura Tribune. On Saturday morning last, tbe turbu- lous career of John Whacker suddenly terminated.' Mrs.' Whacker pressed the trigger and a heavy charge of slugs did the rest. Whacker resided about three miles north of Ronald and was one of the best known ranchers in this part of tbe county. While in a measure he was in dustrious and thrifty.be was greatly given to strong drink, and when under the in - fluence of liquor, which was frequently, he evidenced more the qualities and in stincts ot a brute rather than a human. Last Thursday night he came to Cle-Elom and soon burdened himself with healthy iag. When he went home Friday morn ing he drove bis wife out of doors and away from : an infant four months old. She was forced to remain out all day and all of Friday night. Saturday morning she watched patiently for Whacker to leave the house in order that she might go in and give the baby' some nourish - ment. He left about 6 o'clock and she I went in. Some minutes after and while Mrs. Whacker was nursing the infant, Whacker came in. He was so enraged at her presence that he picked up a chair and felled her to the floor. He then ran out of the house to get a club, vowing would fiuish her there and then. He turned in a moment raging like a cyclone and made for his wite. Mrs. Whacker, thoroughly frightened, ran for a double- barreled shot gun standing in a corner and let drive at Whacker when' within distance of a few feet. Tbe charge en tered tbe left eye and tore a hole in his head large enough to run an arm through. A second shot was fired, but the charge went in the side of the room. Mrs. Whacker was arrested and held to the I superior court in $200 bail. Neighbors think that the wife was fully justified her act, and think it ought to have been done long ago. Whacker had abused his wife unmercifully ever since their mar riage some six years ago, and his treat ment had driven her partially insane. Mrs. Whacker's parents reside in Ger many and are said to be wealthy. OOUgTY 00UBT. Proceedings of the Commissioners' Court unci Bills AJIewed.

The prestige of the Royal Baking Powder and its constant success are matters of anxious con cern to envious competitors. It is noted that advertisements of other baking powders are filled with spleen, malice and mis representatioii against the Royal, more than with honest claims as to their own goods. That the Royal Baking Powder makes finer, whiter, sweeter, more wholesome cookery, the ladies who have tried other kinds are willing to testify and tell their neighbors ; this fact is a serious concern to all competitors. The superb quality of the Royal Baking Pow der, over and above all other kinds, is never so manifest as when tried in comparison. It has greater strength and does not deteriorate with age, the last spoonful in the can being as good as the first. All over this country the "Royal" has the lead ; this is why makers of other brands, envious of its sale and popularity, talk so much about it he I re I I I I I 1 in I I - 1 was thrown to the ground. Ibe bind wheels ran violently against the front ones and the boy' head was caught squarely be tween them and bis brains crushed out. He lived but long enough to gasp. Dont be deceived by dealers who "cut" prices. " Cutting " prices leads to '"cutting" goods. For this reason and to pro tect the public, tbe genuine medi cines of Dr. K. V. Fierce, are now sold only through regularly author ized agents, who can sell only at the following long-established prices : Golden Medical Discovery, $1.00 per bot tle. Favorite Prescription, CL00 per bottle. Pleasant Pellets, 25 cents per vial. The genuine medicines, which can be had only at these prices, are the cheapest you can nse, for they're guaranteed. It's " vidue re ceived or no pay." In every case where Dr. Pierce's medicine fail to give satisfaction, the makers will return the money. But, they want to be sure that you get rAefr medi cines, and not tneir Domes renuea or tam pered with, or spurious Imitations. Refuse everything offered as Dr. Pierce's medicines, at less than the above prices. They are generally spurious. Oregon State MONMOTJTET, OH.
