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 ereek below Canyon City-. was not considered rich enough ana nas not been xnrlrad.

The weather is all that could be de sired for temperature; but it has been cloudy and threatening rain, which would do no good to crops now, and might delay the harvest. The regular, review of The Dalles tent K. O. T. M., will be held at Fra ternity hall this evening. As business of importance will be transacted a full attendance of Knights is requested. There is considerable merchandise' at Moody's warehouse awaitng trans portation, to interior merchants; but there are no freighters in town at pre sent. We presume they are busy pre paring for harvest. . Hon. Geo. H. Williams, ex-TJ. S. attorney-general, arrived in the city from Portland on the noon train, and was met by Rev. O. D. Taylor, who took him out in a carriage to his farm southwest of the :ity. The concert with the Uncle Tom's Cabin "Co. did not materialize last night. Under the charter they were forced to pay an extra license, and therefore theperformance was not given for the entertainment of the au dience.

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." Active 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. Hone Bleat. 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. Fatal AUachlef.

J. W. Rogers, a pioneer of 1845, died at his home near McMinnville, yester day morning. He was an Indian war 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 a wide circle of relations and friei as. His funeral took place this morn ing. John Palmer in fishing for sturgeon yesterday met with the misfortune of having his hand cut by a hook. Blood poisoning immediately set in and Dr. Hollister was called and attended to the case. Mr. Palmer is very unfor tunate in this regard, as this is the third time he has suffered from blood poisoning. ' He has a strong constitu tion, and no serious results are appre hended.

If these are the facts two lives were sacrificed to the mischievious pranks of a boy, and he paid dearly for his fun. BXahaffey. - The examination of Mahaffey for obtaining money under false pretences was begun in Justice Davis' court this afternoon. Since his arrest news has been received from La Grande that his check would - not be honored for any amount in that city, and that be has served a term in the .penitentiary for forgery. He.

': The Placer mines of Canyon creek, Marysville and Prairie diggings have produced over one-half of the gold ta ken out" of the different placers in the county, or over $2,500,000. Canyon creek is credited with $2,000,000 as its output. Over 4,000 men were employed in 1864 on the creek. With the excep tion of the Humboldt mine no hydraul ic mining has been done. The work consisted of stripping off the ground to within two feet of the bedrock, says the Grant county New. The remain ing gravel was wheeled into sluice boxes and washed. Wages were 5 per day, and nothing but the richest parts pi the creek worked, The east side ol . 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. " The Klickitat Railroad. The citizens of Klickitat county ap pear to be in earnest in building the railroad to Lyle, and expect to have it in operation in less than a year.

Some thing near three quarters of a mile of road has been graded and ready for the ties.

THE ACBCBN TKAOEDT. 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.

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. Letters Advertised.
