OX A BIO SCALE.
One of the large Elephants in the Great
Wallace Show .Has a Tooth Extracted.
To pull an ordinary tooth requires
more 8Kiu man muscular exertion; out
when a molar from an elephant has to
be jerked out physical force has to be
exerted. Jeanette, the largest quad
ruped, was afflicted with tooth-ache,
and a remedy had to be applied. This
occurred at Peru, Ind., a few months
ago, and to perform the operation a
dentist was sent for from Detroit, Mich.
Jeannette's measurement was taken
from her tail to her neck. Just that
distance from a corner in a brick build
ing with a fourteen-mch wall was
erected, with massive oak timbers, a
sort of stock, with an adjustable top
piece: She was backed into the corner
and her head put through the timbers,
which were then closed on her neck.
The wall of the building held her body
and she would have to pull her head off
to get away from the timbers.
Dr. upshail produced a pair or for
ceps that would make a blacksmith's
tongs look like small plyers. He then
mounted the ncaffold built in front and
secured Jeannett's trunk back over her
body with strong straps. Then he
passed a strap iron through her mouth
and fastened her lower jaw firmly. All
was reauy.
He then gripped the great forceps
onto the tooth and with a ratchet de
vice on the handles he screwed them
tight as possible. Three other strong
men mounted the frame work with him.
At a signal all began to-pull. Jeannette
groaned and tried to break away. At
hrst it was a Ion 2 steady pull, but the
tooth was there to stay. The doctor
instructed his assistants to let up and
thev would try other tactics. He di
rected them to give it short, sudden
jerks in unison. They did so and at each
"neieno" that molar was given an ar
gument that caused Jeannette to let
forth a terrible groan. Once, twice,
three times they jerked and then I
me tooth came, -but it was a mon
ster, and the doctor held it in his for
ceps with considerable gratification.
It was the largest one he had ever
superintended the pulling of, and the
animal, when relieved ol the pain, ap
peared as docile as a kitten.

The concert with the Uncle Tom's

therefore theperformance was not

Myron Taft, who was arrested in
Portland Monday and brought to the
city by Sheriff Driver Tuesday night,
had his examination before Justice
Davis last evening, and was held in
$200 bail to await the action of the
grand jury. It was produced in evi
dence that Taft took the grain from
the barn of Mr. Geo. Rice, and that
Lee Morehouse drove the team and
wagon in town and sold the wheat and
received the money. In his defense
Taft claims that he was the dupe of
Morehouse, and was not aware of
the fact that Morehouse had not
bought the grain from George Rice.
But, after Taft had sworn out the com
plaint against Morehouse, he came to
the city, and, fearful that he himself
would share the fate of Morehouse,
took French leave of this vicinity!
Moorehouse claims his innocence in
the entire transaction, and says Taft
induced him to take the grain, and
gave him the horse and saddle with
which he went to the Locks. A jury
will decide these cases, and we nave
no poubt full justice will be done and
punishment be meted out to the criminals.
The New Armory..
In company with Mr. Max Vogt a
reporter of the T.-M. went through
the new armory yesterday. The audi
torium is much larger than the opera
house that was destroyed in the fire of
September, 1891, and the ceiling
higher. It will hold about 1200 persons
when seated, and this is as large a
number as will attend any entertain
ment in this city. The stage is ample for
any performance, and in connection
there are dressing rooms for ladies
and gentlemen,. Being used . as an
armory now the large hall is used for
drill purposes, and the dressing rooms
in the rear of the . stage as places in
which to keep uniforms, arms and
equipments. Up a flight of stairs leads
one to the headquarters room, ana
this is furnished with the appointments
necessary for comfort and business.
Aside from these there are two com
pany rooms, which may be used for
meetings other than drills. The
whole interior is finished very beauti
fully and substantially, and reflects
great credit on the public spirit and
enterprise of Mr. Max Vogt. -
Soma Stories From a Fisherman on the
Columbia River.
Chipman's Pocket is a cove on the
Washineton side of the Columbia
river, about two miles west of the city.
Since the hshmg season has opened
Mr. Chas. lebersrer with a companion
have camped there so as to be con
venient to their nets which have been
placed in the stream. To anyone who
is anxious to listen to a snake or rat
story is is only necessary to get Nie-
bererer in proper condition ana ne can
eclipse anything that was ever creoiiea
to iiaron jviaunchausen. mere is un
questionably numerous rattlesnakes in
that vicinitv. and thev are forced to
pass the camp to eret to- the water,
Charlie amuses himself, during leisure
moments, killing these, and he has a
string- of rattles or considerable
length, which he intends to fasten on
his clotnes as a cnarm against neau-
ache. malaria and billious fiver.
Their potency to ward off the former
ailment is vouched for by several who
have tried the experiment; but they
must be so placed in the rim of the
hat so as to mingle with the hair, and
they have a more potent influence
with auburn or red locks tban with
blonde or brown. Of course, bald-
headed men are "out. of the question
and they will receive no benefit from
the experiment. But Nieberger's
wood rat surpasses any description of
a rodent that has ever appeared in
print. . Whenever Charlie leaves camp
this animal amuses himself by piling
knives, forks and spoons in a conveni
ent spot and covering them with grass
to keep sand and dust away. Dry crusts
of bread and refuse from the table
furnishes dainty meals for the rat, and
in consideration of the provisions the
rodent does kitchen work whenever
the opportunity offers. These rehear
sals of Nieberger's experiences could
be lengthened out indefinitely, but
perhaps it is now time to come to a
full stop. On some other occasion,
perhaps, when the reporter of the
Times-Mountaineer has time and
space he may erive another chapter,
and until then it may be considered as
"continued in some future number."

The Bight Kind.
The Corvallis Gazette says: . Over
$3000 was expended for student labor
on the college farm last year, and the
board has decided to increase the
amount of 1895-96. Students who are
industrious and frugal can make their
way through college, though they en
ter practically penniless. Several
brierht young men walked from Coos
county to Corvallis last fall, arriving
with hardly a dollar in their pockets.
Thev entered the college and com
pleted the year, getting good grades in
their studies. They went home by
train, after commencement, with good
clothes on their backs ana jcasn lu
their pockets. But they worked and
were not fastidious as to the quality of
work. Some of them waited on tables.
and one cooked and performed house
work in a private family. They were
not ashamed of honest labor, and their
fellew students were not ashamed of
them. 'They were among the most
popular young- men in college. In
such is the material of which men are
made.

Jode Switzler commenced last week
delivering the big band of horses he
has sold to the Portland Horse-Meat
Canning Company, says the East Ore-
gonian. He has sold his entire band,
and the number will run from 5000 to
6000. Mr. Switzler does not know just
how many horses he baa lost. There
may be 5000, and there-may be 7000,
but he thinks there are between 5000
and 6300. Last week 300 were swum
across the Columbia river for loading
on the train on this. side. He will
bring over a bunch every few days, un
til all have been delivered. The aver
age price he received for the entire
band is about $3 per head. The horses
are in very fair condition, and will
doubtless cut up into juicy steaks.

J. W. Rogers, a pioneer of 1845, died
at his home near McMinnville, yester

veteran of nearly all of the Indian wars
of the northwest, and was one of the
most prominent and respected pioneers
of the past in that county. He was-born
in Indiana, April 13, 185. .He let- is

EDITORIAL ASSOCIATION.
Its Membership Not Composed of
- Workers.
Among those elected as members of
the Oregon Press association at the
recent convention at Newport was
E. E. Sharon of Portland. Col. J.
B. Eddy objected to Sharon, because
he had only married the sister of the
former editor of the Pacific BuQder.
And, by the way, Col. J. B. Eddy is
not known as an editor in this state,
and has not been for a number of years
past. It seems that the Editorial as
sociation is only such in name, and is
largely composed of members who
have no connection with newspapers
or have intimate business relations
with knights of the quill. While it re
mains as it is it cannot expect the sym
pathy of the editorial fraternity or
but little support from them. There
is urgent need of an association com
posed " of workers men who are di
rectly interested in journalism; but
while the convention is composed of
men who are not identified with the
interests of this honorable profession,
or who have little concern in its ad- -vancement,
there cannot be expected
harmony will exist in - matters which
tend directly to the benefit of those
who make a living by following the
vocation, or who have a personal am
bition in its accomplishing its mission.
Uncle Tom's Cabin.
The novel feature of this popular
drama being rendered under canvass
was witnessed last evening in this city.
There was a large attendance,, and
every seat in the tent was occupied.
The play was not above criticism, and
in many parts was not up to expecta
tion. In the first place there was not the
scenery that was adapted to the loca
tions. .The old plantation, or the ice in
the river were not attempted to be rep
resented, and the characters were not
well taken. Miss Eva was good and so
was St. Clair and Marks, the lawyer,
while the Quaker andTopsy were fair.
It did not give satisfaction In any man
ner, and bose who have read the book
and sympathize with the author's crea
tions will prefer seeing the drama on
a stage in a building, with the proper
spectacular effects.

All Circumstance Point to a Deliberate
-Murder.
La 6 ftnde Chronicle. .
The scene of the tragedy Saturday
evening in which James Searcy killed
Brown, was at the Allie P. quartz
claim, about one-quarter or a mile
northeast of Auburn, and where Brown
fell after being shot by bearcy was
within forty feet of the fatal spot
where S. J. Fore killed Dell over an
adjoining claim, the White mine,
about three years ago. The circum
stances leading up to the late murder
appear to oe mat aearcy, togetner
with H. J. Perry, Geo. forter and
C. P. Weil, all of Baker City, were the
owners of Allie f. claim, bearcy was
at Sparta. Messrs. Perry, Porter apd
Weil leased tneir portion oi tne ciaim
to Albert Brown and Joseph Meyer-
tholen, the lease commencing on J uly
loth last. Brown and Meyertholen
went to the elaim and commenced
workinsr the srround. Searcy came
over from Sparta and did not approve
of the lease, notwithstanding the in
strument of writing did not in any way
interfere with liis rights in the prem
ises. On Satarday he went on horse
back to the mine and found Brown and
Meyertholen at work. He rode up to
where thev were "rooking" and first
addressed himself to Meyertholen, or
dering him to vacate the place. Mey
ertholen told him he would vacate,
but Brown was a little more obstinate
about going and told Searcy that he
had a rig tit to be on tne ground ana
would not leave. Searcy, acting
promptly upon his murderous impulse,
shot Brown, the pistol ball taking ef
fect below the right eye, ranging back
ward and downward and lodging in
his spinal column. Brown died almost
instantly. When the shot was fired
Meyertholen ran and was followed by
three shots from Searcy's pistol, one
of which took effect in his left foot and
causing him to fall to the ground.
Stearcv then rode away on his horse !
and. has not been seen since, although
Sheriff Kilburn and deputies have been i
scouring the country ever since. It is
thought that he left for the vicinity of
Soarta where ne owned a piacer ciaim
together with George Tiger and Stan
ton Wilson, and would outfit there for
his escape.

Mr. Pinkham, the manager of the
Oregon fruit Union in this city,
shipped a car load of fruit last night to

fallen vesterday to $1 in eastern cities.
The following are the shipper's names

The Grant's Pass Courier has the fol
lowing regarding a survivor of the war
of 1812: .
Hosea Brown, the only survivor of
the war of 1812 on the Pacific coast,
celebrated his 103d birthday at the
home of his grandson, Orr Brown,
near Wilderville, Lane county, on the
19th of this month. The old gentle
man was born in New Hampshire and
came west, into Ohio when about
twenty years of age. He was only
some 20 days in actual service in our
second war with Johnny Bull, but the
government gives him $50 a month
pension. He has been helpless now
for about eight years, and when Har
rison was elected in 1888 Hosea was
brought to the polls in a chair to vote
, for him, being preceded by a band of
; music. This was at Drain in this state.
I The centenarian, although very deaf,
' loves to talk of old times when he was
; a boy, and has a memory as perfect as
. in childhood. He was never married
but once, his wife leaving him for the
i great beyond, at the age of 65, some 35
years ago.
