Burglary at the Locks.
This morning about half-past 2 o'clock
tbe store of D L Cates & Co. was robbed
at the Locks. . The robbers effected an
entrance through the store room, which ad
joins tbe main building, and was probably
attempting to open the till when two dogs.
bicb are kept in the building, began to
bark. This alarmed them at their work,
and tbev made a rapid exit through the
glass doors in front. Mr. John Trans, the
constable, beard the noise made by tbe
glass being broken, and immediately sur
miaed that a robb.sry waa being perpetrated.
He ran towards the store of D k Cates
Co., and reached the railroad track whe.
he saw the robbers running away. He im
mediately arrested them, snd found in their
possession pocket kniyes, razors, three gen-
.tlemeu's gold-plaited chains, two lady's
gold necklaces with charms, one gold ring.
silk baod kerchiefs, etc. These were not
taken from Cates' store, bat had been
stolen from other parties. They were taken
before the magistrate, Justice Williams,
and were placed under $1000 bonds to

not being furnished Mr. Trana brought tbe
men to the oity, and they are now confined
io the county jail. Tbey gave their name-
as Thomas Moore and James Williams.
That Deooy-
Two well-known nimrod from Dufur
spent a dy last week on the lakes near
Rockland, Wash., hunting ducks. They
were fairly successful ; but a joke is told
on one of them that has not yet appeared
in print. In the center of one of the
ponds, is anchored a decoy, and the
Dufur nimroJ crept withia shooting dis
tance, and gave it the benefit of both
barrels of bis shotgun. His companion,
knowing the nature of the target, ap
plauded his efforts and said he was one
of the best shots in the country. This
encouraged him to shoot three or four
times more at the wooden float. Finally
his companion t'ld him it was difficult
to make a wooden duck any nearer dead
than it was, and lead cost to much to be
wasted. Realizing that he had been
"sold" be left tbe place in disgust, and
it was two days before he would give
bis companion a civil answer.
Oeafaesiai Cawae ate Cartel '
Py local applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of tbe ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafaese is
caused by an inflamed condition of tho j
mucuous limning of the Eustachian tube.
When this tube is inflamed you have
rambling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when It ia eolirely clo-ed, deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken ont aod this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be de
stroyed forever; nine cases ont often are
caused by catarrh, wbich is nctbiug but
an inflamed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any Ci-.se of Deafness (cau.d by catarrh)

THE DEVIL'S SLIDE.
In the heart of the Rocky morn
.tains there dwelt in ancient times a
spirit or gnome to whom the Indian
tribes around about gave the name
of Hal-Walla. Ho was a spirit of
great power within tho limits of his
domain, which extended deep into
the bowels of the earth. Myriads of
inferior gnomes were subject to his
rule and were employed, under his
wise dominion, in administering the
business of his kingdom, checking
and controlling the rude force of the
fires that rage in the earth s bosom
and making it serviceable in charg
ing the rocky fissures with ores and
minerals.
But once in awhile, in the course
of the centuries, he tires of his mo
notonous and gloomy life, and then it
is his habit to come to the surface
for a holiday.
At first, in the far distant times, he
found the earth inhabited by hideous
monsters, and his only sport was to
hunt the ichthyosaurus or to plunge
deep into the pathless forests and en
gage in nerce encounter witn a ter
rible biped, who is known to us only
as the prehistoric man. Hal-Walla,
however, was rather peaceable than
warlike, and after a few such visits
he wearied of this rough sport, and
many centuries came and went be
fore he visited the upper earth again
Great was his surprise to find that
the monsters of the early times had
disappeared. The giant forests had
given place to woods of much smaller
growth, but what interested the
gnome most of all was the sight of a
number of Indian villages which
clustered in the peaceful valley be
low. The men, women and little
children were a revelation to Hal
Walla. They reminded him strange
ly of the fierce beings he had grap
pled with in the forests of prehistoric
times, and yet they were so different
Clad m scant, bright colored gar
ments, their red skins shone with
cunningly painted designs. Their
manners were gentle, for it was a
peaceable Indian tribe that had built
its wigwams on Hal-Walla s domain.
They were kind to their women, and
the children played harmlessly about,
shooting at marks with small bows
and arrows, running swift races or
flying on their ponies over hill and
dale.
Dwelling invisible and unsuspected
among them, Hal-Walla took delight
in studying the waya and habits of
these beings, so new and strange to
him. lie soon learned their lan
guage and often sat at night in their
wigwams, listening to their talk
about their ponies, their crops, the
chase or the danger that threatened
from hostile tribes. And while the
spirit thus dwelt in their tents their
good fortune was wonderful, for Hal
Walla caused their crops to grow as
they never did before, and no arrow
sent after a buffalo or deer, no mat
ter by how young and raw a hand,
was known to miss its mark. And
once when a band of hostile red men
came swarming over the mountains
to attack the peaceful dwellers in the
valley he assumed a shape of terror,
drove them before him like cattle and
slew them in great numbers.
All this led these simple folk to
believe in the presence of a good
being among them, and sweet to
Hal-Walla were the words of thanks
and praise which he overheard at
their campfires at night But one
day, as the gnome was roaming about
the mountains, he spied a maiden,
fai" and beautiful an Indian prin
cess, the only daughter of the great
Chief Winotah of the powerful tribe
of the TJte8. She was seated, chat
ting with her girl playmates and at
tendants, at the foot of a huge water
fall, which went swirling and tum
bling into a rude natural basin. The
subsequent conduct of the gnome, as
we shall presently see, would indi
cate that her innocent, beauty im
pressed him deeply, for when, on tbe
next day, the maidens came again to
sit by the waterfall they were amazed
to find the scene wholly changed.
Tall trees, which had not been there
before, made a shady grove about it
The wild sweep of the cataract had
been checked, so that it now fell with
a gentle murmur into the basin, which
had grown large and wide and was
filled to the brim with the cool, lim
pid water, showing the pebbly bottom
in its transparent depth. "It is the
good spirit who has done this," cried
the maidens, and amid wonder and
laughter and congratulation they
speedily prepared for a bath. The
princess was the first to venture in,
but no sooner was she immersed than
she sank out of sight. Vainly her
shrieking companions clutched at the
glossy black hair as they saw her
disappear, and when Visula, the prin
cess' favorite, plunged in to share her
fate some unseen power prevented
her from sinking, and she could only
float lightly on the limpid surface
like a petal rom a wild rose.
. Frightened and weeping, the girls
returned to the village and imparted
all that had happened to Winotah.
The chief rent his garment, scattered
to the winds the plumes that waved
so proudly on his head and grieved
for the loss of his favorite daughter.
After awhile he took courage and
went to view with his own eyes the
fatal spot where she had disappeared.
But the magical illusion was gone,
and the waterfall tumbled in tmbri-'
died fury down the mountain side,
as it had ever done within the mem
ory of man.
Meanwhile the princess, who had
lost consciousness when she felt her
self sinking, had been carried by Hal
Walla throuU his subterranean king
dom to a beautiful valley, which his
magic had filled with wonders. When
Bhe awoke, she found herself reclin
ing on a grassy knoll, dressed in
bright garment, and the sunlight,
glinting through the shady trees, fell
on the form of a handsome young
chief standing reverently before her.
This was none other than Hal-Walla,
who had assumed this pleasing
shape as being most likely to find fa
vor in the eyes of the maid. In glow
ing words he 6poke to her of love;
told her the secret of bis being; told
her of his great kingdom in the bow
els of the earth; of the power he
possessed to bring good or evil for
tune to her tribe, and so wooed her
for his wife. But the princess only
sighed in answer and reproached him
with tears for having removed her
from her people. Nothing that Hal
Walla could say or promise seemed
to give her cheer, and he was forced
to realize that he bad been too sud
den and must patiently seek to win
her by degrees.
These beings require companion
ship," he said to himself when he
bad thought the matter over. "She
must be amused. That will set ev
erything right" And like a flash be
flew ont into the fields where the
maize was ripening, picked a dozen
ears and brought them with a trium
phant gmile to the princess, who was
wandering disconsolately under the
trees,
Fairest daughter of earth," eaid
be, "J have brought what will give
thee joy. Take these ears of maize,
touch them with this magic rod and
give them the form of any being thy
Heart aesires.
So saying he wisely left the -Drin
cess to herself, and she lost no time in
availinar herself of the gift. Touching
one of the ears with the rod, she cried,
"Visula,dear playmate, appear!" and
instantly Visula lay at her feet, kiss
mg iier hands, and in her joy laugh
ing and weeping at once. The illu
sion was so perfect that the princess
knew not whether 6he held in her
arms the real Visula or merely her
snaaow. But this gave her no con
cern. Sho surrendered herself who!
ly to the delight of having her dear
est friend, with her, and the two
wandered arm in arm about the trar-
uens and grottoes and eroveswith
which the gnome had adorned the
valley to make it a pleasant abidine
piuut; ior a is i air prisoner.
.i p , - r- -
The beautiful princess soon con
verwsu uu uer suppiy oi maize ears
into the girl friends she was accus
, n i ,
tomed to. She was now far less lone
ly and seemed to grow brighter and
more content, so that Hal-Walla con
gratulated himself on his penetation
ana the progress he was making in
x.Q.v, Knowledge oi human kind.
But as the weeks slipped by the
princess began to notice that her
companions were growing pale and
sickly. She alone among them all
bloomed fresh and fair as a rose.
One morning when she stepped
from her wigwam what horror
was hers when she saw that tbey
had all turned old and haggard and
were so weak that they could scarce
ly move! In her terror she called
loudly for Hal-Walla, who imme
diately appeared.
"Base spu-it, she cried, "is it not
enough that thou hast deprived me
of my freedom ? Why take from me"
my only solace, the companionship
of these dear maids? What has hap
pened to them? Why do they look
so old and strange?"
"Blame me not, fair maid." replied
the spirit. "They are, if you re
member, but ears of maize. As long
as they were fresh the magic rod
lent life and youth to the forms they
borrowed. But now the juices of
rr
soon they must return to dust Do
but touch them once again with your
rod."
She did as she was bidden, and as
she touched them the shadows van
ished and only a handful of dried up
maize ears remained.
"Weep not, fair one' continued
the spirit "What our bounteous
Mother Nature gave us once she will
give again. In a flash I will return
with a new supply."
bo saying he vanished, shot through
space and arrived at the maizefield.
But much to his embarrassment he
found that tbe maize had all been
s;irnered and not one ear remained.
When he returned to the princess,
she saw by his manner that some
thing had gone wrong.
Thou hast deceived me, ened
she. "Where iH the maize?"
"Maiden," he answered, "wilt thou
forgive my want of foresight? Inex
perienced in the ways of mankind, I
wholly forgot that the maize had
been garnered, and there is none left
in the fields. Have patience with me
but one short week, and thou shalt
have maize ears in abundance."
The spirit thereupon, with the
help of his gnomes, quickly plowed
and planted an acre of ground thick
with the precious corn. The under
ground fires were made to heat the
soil, while he poured rain in abun
dance from above. Quickly the
green shoots poked their heads above
the ground and throve and grew
apace. -
But with all his thoughtfulness
and anxiety to please not a smile or
answering look could he win from
the fair princess. Patiently he an
ticipated her every wish, hoping for
the time when his devotion would
be rewarded. But in this he reck
oned without his host. He was.
after all, but a novice in his
study of the human heart and had
taken It for granted that the maid s
affections were disengaged. Poor
spirit ! Ho knew not that the princess
had no heart to give him, since for
more than a year Bhe had loved Idan-
ha, a young chief of the tribe of the
Shoshones, whom she was to have
wedded at the period of the next new
moon. But so closely had she kept
the secret guarded in her bosom that
the gnome even now had no suspicion
of the truth. While he worked by
night and day to hasten the growth
of the maize, which he fondly hoped
would restore the maid to her wonted
cheerfulness, her thoughts were busy
with a plan of escape.
In a week's time, as the spirit had
promised, the maize was ripe. Each
day the princess went to the field,
plucked a few ears and once more
gave them forms of life. But to one
of the ears she secretly gave the form
of a magpie. "Fly, talking bird,"
said she, "till thou comest to the
tribe of the Shoshones and tell the
young chief Idanha that his beloved
is foully held prisoner by the Spirit
Hal-Walla, but is planning to escape.
Bid him wait for me in the valley of
pines the third sleep from now with
horses and men. Begone 1 Away !"
The bird obediently arose in the air,
and her eyes followed it longingly
till it faded in the distance.
The young chief meanwhile had
taken the disappearance of his dear
princess greatly to heart He be
came melancholy and sad. Even the
chase lost its attractions. In the
depth of his misery he derived a
gloomy comfort from the profound
solitude of the forest, where be spent
his time mourning her as dead. One
day as he sat brooding thus the still
ness about him was broken by the
sharp, Bhrill utterance of his name.
As he started to his feet the cry was
repeated, aud he saw. with amaze
ment that it came from a magpie,
who was sitting on one of the lower
limbs of. a gigantic fir tree. With
the illogical intuition of love a vague
hope thrilled through his soul, and
holding out his hand he invited the
bird to perch on his finger. The
magpie accepted the invitation, de
livered the message which the prin
cess had sent, and then fluttered
away, leaving the astonished Idanha
in transports of happiness. With a
cheerfulness to which he had long
been a stranger he returned to his
wigwam, got together the braves,
ponies and provisions he needed and
set out straightway for the valley of
pines.
On tbe third day the princess pre
pared to execute her plan. The sun
was painting the hilltops in golden
glory and the earth was fresh with
the moist odors of the awakening day
as she came from her wigwam in all
the radiance of her beauty. Well she
knew whom she would find lingering
about, and when she advanced to
meet him with a smile of promise
upon her lips the first she had ever
bestowed upon the unhappy gnome
bis rapture know no bounds.
"Fair one," cried he, "hast thou
come at last to reward me for my
long faithfulness? To say the word
that will make me tbe happiest of my
kindf"
The wily princess blushed and cast
down her eyes. " '
"Immortal spirit" she answered,
"how can a mere daughter of earth
withstand thee ? It is true thy gentle
constancy nas taten my neart cap
tive, but what proof have I that thou
wilt always be patient and kind if I
make thee my master and consent to
be thy spouse?
"Set me any task thou wilf cried
the gnome j oy fully, 'that I may ehow
now patient and obedient a slave I
will be to thee, and I swear by my
immortal Deing l win perform it.
"Be it so," said the shrewd prin
cess. "If we are to be wed, I have a
fancy for a grand festival. Go you
tuen to tne maizeneld and make a
faithful count of the ears that are
growing there. But mind you make
no mistake! Then will I give them
the forms of the people of my tribe.
that I may be wedded with dancing
and feasting, as becomes the daugh
ter of a great chief."
Reluctant as the gnome was to part
from the maid at the very moment
when as he fondly believed his
constancy and devotion had touched
her heart, he had no choice but to
obey. In a twinkling he was at the
maizefield and busy with his task.
But Hal-Walla was clumsy at count
ing, and in tbe eagerness and excite
merit of his newborn hopes he made
so many mistakes that his fisnres
were soon involved in an almost
hopeless tangle.
A PALACE OF GHOSTS.
Haunted by Spirits of Women Who Poi
soned One Another.
In the midst of the old ruins and
palaces of Italy, stained-with count
less deeds of blood, it remains for ow
modern structure to be knuva'
licularly as the home of ghosts. This
interesting building is described by
Marion Crawford in an article in The
Century devoted to the wonderful
Italian coast between Sorrento and
6alerno.
Above Agerola, which itself is al
most directly above Prajano, on the
southern 6ideof tbe peninsula, stands
an enormous palace, visible from the
Bea at a great distance. It is known
ceofthe ghosts), and I once took
i the trouble to chmb up from Praja
no and go all over it. It is entirely
aesercea ana nas neither doors nor
windows, a building almost royal in
proportions and plan, standing on a
vast terrace overlooking the sea, by
no means ancient and in some parts
decorated with frescoes and stucco
work, which are fast falling a prey
to the weather.
It was built by a personage known
as ijenerai AVitaDue, who came to a
tragic end before he had completed
his magnificent residence and whose
heirs are, I believe, still quarreling
about the division of the property.
while the building itself is allowed to
fall into ruins. It would be hopeless
to attempt to disentangle the tales
told about the family by the simple
hillfolk. There were women in the
case who poisoned one another and
the general and whose spirits, ven
omous still, are believed to haunt the
vast halls and corridors and stair
cases and underground regions of the
palace.
Whether they do or not, a more ap
propriate place for hobgoblins, ban
shees, ghouls and vampires could
scarcely have been created by a dis
eased imagination in a nightmare.
Even at midday, under tbe southern
sun, the whole place seems as uncan
ny as a graveyard on St. John's eve.
Bits of staircase lead abruptly into
blank walls, passages end suddenly
in the high air, without window rail
ing or parapet. Lonely balconies lead
around dizzy corners to dismal watch
turrets whence a human voice could
hardly find its way to the halls with
in. - The most undaunted explorers
of the Society For Psychical Research
might learn what ' 'goose flesh" means
in such a place as this.
A Murderer Stay Inherit From His Vlntlm.
After six years' litigation the su
preme court has decided the case of
Ri-nsom versus Shellenbarger, in
volving the point of whether or not
a murderer can inherit property
from his victim.
Seven years ago Lee Shellenbarger
murdered his daughter in order that
he might inherit 6ome valuable prop
erty left her by her mother. He was
convicted and sentenced to be
hanged, but while the case was pend
ing in the supreme court he was
lynched. Before this tragic episode
he had deeded his interest in the
dead girl's estate to his attorneys,
Frank Ransom and John C. Watson.
The other heirs contested the at
torneys' rights, asserting that the
taw would nofallow a murderer to
profit by bis crime. The attorneys
contended that in this country crime
worked no corruption of blood and no
forfeiture of property and that Ne
braska's statutes contained nothing
to prevent Shellenbarger's transfer.
The trial court found for the attor
neys, but the supreme court reversed
this holding. Since then the person
nel of this tribunal has entirely
changed, and when the case came up
the second time the court upheld
the attorneys' contention. Lincoln
