The Mount Lebanon Shakers have
invented a great many valuable things.
They were the first to make brooms by
machinery: the first to put up seeds in
little packages; the first to manufac
ture cut nails.
Now they are out with a method of
curing dyspepsia by resting the
stomach. Their remedy is known as
the Shaker Digestive Cordial. It sup
j plies food in an artificially digested
- form and at the same time aids the di
' gestion of other foods in tbe stomach,
j In other words, by the use of the
Shaker Digestive Cordial, a dyspeptic
virtually gets along without the use
of bis stomach until it is restored to its
natural strength and vigor. A fcingle
10 cent bottle will oft-times give
marked relief. ' Get a bottle from your
druggist and try it.

While matters are. being adjusted
between the fishermen and tbe can
nerymen at the mouth of the river,
there are still some differences exist
ing between them, and it is evident
that the fish output from that section
will be unusually light this year. The
following from Astoria gives some idea
of the situation at present:
If reports received from Ilwaco can
be relied upon, all Is not harmony
among the trapmen on that side of the
river. It is said that the trapowners
residing at Chinook beach were not
notified of the intention to hold the
mass-meeiing at Ilwaco, on Friday last,
and that the resolutions passed at that
time do not reflect the sentiment of a
majority of the trappers. The Chinook
men are endeavoring, by every means
in their power, consistent with an
observance of the law, to dissuade from
fishing those of the Baker's bay trap
pen who have started operations, and
it is reported that feeling has been
running high in consequence Com
piratively few of tbe trapmon have ac
cepted the 4-cent rate, and these in
clude only those who were forced to
fish because of an inability to get ad
vances of supplies from oanners.

The latest thing we have ' beard of,
says the Athena Press, was sprung by
a man living near Westjn. He has
been tapping box elder trees and
making maple sugar from the sap.
We rather think that overlays any
thing sprung so far this season. We
can expect to hear next of an ice
factory making ice fro a the pure,
clean water furnished by a watch
spring or learn of some honest farmer
starting a dairy with the products of
the wilkweed. There is no limit . to,
what can be done in Oregon. The man
ufacture of pure Vermont maple sugar
from the sap of box elder trees, may be
come one of the leading industries of
the state in future' Jfears.Something,
too, might be done by an inventive
genius in the wajr of making cloth
from Cottonwood trees. There is no
YimYtTto what can be accomplished
here by intelligent effort, although
we have not had time as yet to study
out any plan to utilize the tumble
weed.
A Boy Wins st Salt.
In Massachusetts a boy brought suit
for damages because he had been ex
pelled from a public school and his
teacher and the school committee re
fused to admit him unless he would
apologize for being disrespectful and
promise not to do so again. He
secured damages, and the defendants
appealed on the ground that he had
no right to bring such a suit, but the
supreme court of the state has decided
that he can bring it, and gave it as
its opinion that ordinarily the teach
er's word is law, but that he may not
declare finally whether an act on- the
part of a pupil is or is not disresp jctful.
The smallboy, in Massachusetts, seem
as if he proposed to be more aggres
sive than the new woman.
It is a true saying that home talent

t ie rendering of " Tlie Confederal
spy ' by the H me Dramatic Chid
under the supervision of the Rtthbo n
Sisters and directorship of Prof. R.is'
mus. Alt the aval able space in that
large bniluing was taken, and many
turned a.vay, not beiug able to secure
S3 Its.
The pi ly is a thrilling one, with just
enouirh of tins pathetic in it to arouse
t'ie sympathy of the spectator, and
bring out the admirable qualities of
the aiffjrent characters. The first
scene is a JNortnern Dome wnere n
beautiful Southern girl, Maud Bradley
(Miss Rose Michell) is visiting, and has
been suddenly summoned home by ht r
i red father, a radical Southerner.
ier lover, George Waterman,(N. J
Sinnott) enters and pleads with her to
not heed tbe summons, to accept his
home, his fortune and his heart.
With true Southern spirit, she rejects
bis offer, unless he will vow to not
enter the Union service. Loyalty to
nis country is a sterner duty to the
young patriot than the ties of love, and
the emotion Miss Michell and Mr.
Sin outt displayed in this scene would
have doue credit to professional actors.
I'he parting between George and his
mother, a character taken and very
a dy sustained by Mrs. G. C. bsiakeley.
w is another affecting scene. The
mother had given her husband and
eldest son to the cause of the Union,
and for her only remaining boy logo
to the war was more than she could
endure. v The appearance of a company
of the ThirJ Battalion, O. N G.. on
the stage, in command of J. A. McAvoy,
is Col. Williard. was well received
and Mr. MoAvoy's acceptance of a flag
presented by Miss Lena Snell was
grand.
The character of Sockery, a drafted
Dutchman, taken by Prof Rasmus,
was a humerous one, and in il the
p ofessor appeared at his best: but the
ojst character in the play was Officer
Mulgarry, which was taken by John
Hampshire. In this character Mr.
Hampshire displayed rare talent as a
comedian, fjirly outdoing even Marry
aud Mack, the renowned Irish comedi
ans who were so well res jived here a
short time since.
A pretty and impressive feature of
the drama was the camp by moouligbt.
Ou the stage appeared a company of
s ildiers, reclining in peaceful repose,
t leir muskets stocked, and quiet pre
vailing overall, when the Confederate
a.ty, disguised as a bund planter and
staunch Union min, led by a little
ne .iro, and by bis avowed declarations
of loyalty secured tbe secrets of the
Fe Jeral camp. In the character of the
s.y Mr. .Lonsdale was excellent, but
ais best acting was developed when
his identity was discovered, after he
had delivered a message to Ainsley, a
character well taken by Mr. Wilson,
to be delivered to General Jackson.
3e and Ainsley were called bjfore
General Banks (D. C. Herrin) and con
demned to be shot. At this crisis the
spy threw off his 'disguise, and chafing
like a caged lion, defied tbe Union
general to do his worst.
The reconciliation between Maud
and George in the third" act, aad the
plot by which George liberates the spy,
who proves to be Maud's brother, were
features in which some heavy acting
was required, and was accomplished
faultlessly.
In the last act Miss Lillian Snell
appeared in the role of Norah Mc
Leggin, a gay Irish domestic who was
decidedly opposed to the introduction
of a Chinese cook into the household
of Widow Waterman, and her . de
nunciations of the "Haythan China-
zer" was a decided hit.
The play ended very satisfactory to
all parties. The scene is at the resi
dence of Mrs. Waterman, where the
spy and Maud have taken refuge.
George returns with a reprieve for the
spy and claims the band of Maud in
marriage. Just before the curtain fell
for the last time, the scenery at the
rear of the hall was so shifted as to
present a beautiful tableau with the
Goddess of Liberty hovering over a
soldier of the blue and the gray.
The specialties brought on between
acts proved most attractive, especially
the guitar and mandolin duet by the
Misses Stone, which was rendered in
that perfect manner that is character
istic of those younjj ladies. '
Seldom has The D.illes been so well
entertained as they' were on this even
ing, and certain it is that nd pleasan ter
entertainment wilFtiver be given in
the city. s'
with drawn work throws, and fireplugs
haJ cushioned . srats on top of them.
Sweet peas were climbing over electric
iiubt poles and a hand-painted cus
pidor occupied a prominent place on
every cornor. There was no business,
not a team being allowed to pass up
and down the mui" streets for fear of
making a dust. The ton was de
ser:ed save for the p.ilice-woinau who
inarched up and down to see that m
one with dusty shoes steppted into the
town.

A Silent Warning.
The accident that occurred at Uma
tilla last Monday, in which a little
boy fell under the cars and was killed
is just such an accident as is liable to
happen in this city at any time, and
should serve a- a silent warning to
both children and parents ere its re
petition here shall bring sadness to
some home. Thero ve a number of
small boys who persist in playing
around the railroad yards, and they
will not heed the kindly warnings of
railroad employes that they are in
danger. borne vigorous measure
should be adopted to stop the practice.
since repeated warnings are of no
avail. It would be better if some of
these youngsters were to spend a few
hours in jail occasionally, if they will
desist in ho other way, than to be the
cause of deeper grief which is certain
to come sooner or later if the. present
practice is continued.
W. C T. U. Lecturer Coming.
On Tuesday, April 21, our city will
be favored with an address by Mrs.
Narcissa White Kinney. Mrs.' Kin
ney is not an entire stranger to our
people, having spoken here most ac
ceptably when she was simply Narcissa
White. Mrs. Kinney is state presi
dent of the W. C. T. U., and in her
official capacity has visited many parts
of the state, everywhere showing her
self an able and efficient worker in the
temperance cause. From the many
flatteiing press notices at hand, it. is
difficult to select. All report her as
exceptionally eloquent, persuasive,
witty, pathetic. - One says the mantle
of John B. Gough has fallen on her
shoulders. Come out Tuesday even
ing and hear our Gough.
An Interesting Lecture.
On Tuesday evening the Methodist
church was packed full, with a large
number on the outside,- to hear the
temperance lecture by Mrs. Narcissa
White Kinney. This talanted lady
meets with a cordial reception from all
classes everywhere. Sht - has a pleas
ing address, is temperate in her utter
ances, finds no place or nece-.sity for
abuse of anyone in her lectures and
is always accorded a respectful hearing.
In short, the lecture was one of tbe
most masterly and eloquent ever de
livered here on that subject Palouse

Graut County Mines.
.The Eagle of Long Creek says: J. J.
Cnzart, who has visited the Quartz
burg mining district, states that he
was convinced that Quartzbnrg,
Grant county, poisessod a camp equal
in richness to any in the world. In
every instance where the ledges near
.the surface were only a few inches in
width, they widened out to as many
feet as sufficient depth was attained.
While there is some need of capital at
present he thinks It only a matter of a
short period until plenty of wealth will
find its way in there, for in a camp
where the miners can make .wages
crushing out the yellow metal by hand
its future is assured.

A Walla Walla man went to sleep
the other night and dreamed he' was
in a city entirely governed by women,
says the Statesman. It was scrupul
ously clean, and while . wandering
around he saw three men arrested for
spittingon the pavements. A garbage
box at the. rear end of each lot was
hand-painted and tied with a. blue
ribbon. Mail boxes were decorated

stood the item, there was to be, with
the consent of the present contractors,
a temporary transfer of funds available
at that time from one part of the work
to another, but as practically all funds
in hand have already been earned by
the contractors, there is no such sum
available for the proposed transfer.
No detailed project for the expendi

before congress has yet been made,
nor will there be until official instruc

Every effort will be made with any
money appropriated to hasten to the

As the contract gives the present con

will see that my power over them is

Seven-Foot Vein f Coal Underlying
Tbe Dalles.
While drilling for artesian water at.
his brewery in this ciry, Mr. A. Buch
ler has made a discovery that is liable
to prove of great r value than half a
dozen artesian wells. At the depth of
seventy feet a vein of coal was dis
covered. The coal lies under a solid
formation and. below it is granite. At
the point where the drill past through
it the vein was seven feet in thickness,
ind the coal is of a good quality. Mr.
Buchler intends drilling deeper with
the hope of yet striking water, and
possibly another layer of coal. As to
what.steps he will pursue to develope
the coal .vein, he has .not yet. de
termined, but he considers the find too
valuable to allow it to remain unpros-pected.
Should this vein prove extensive,
The Dalles is just verging .on the eve
of an era of prospe -ity never before
known. A good coal mine here would
mean more for the place than
tbe developing of any one other
ndustry. It would open up avenues
of traue that have never before been
thought of. With an abundant supply
of coal right in the city, .The Dalles
could not but become the great manu
facturing center of the Northwest, be
sides the fuel for the treeless regions
east of here would be supplied from
The-Dalles coal mines, and in a short
time this would become the liveliest
city on the coast.
COMMENTS . FROM ABROAD.
Judge Bennett, of The Dalles, will
not decline the democratic nomination
to congress Oh a free silver platform,
but will make the canvass. Tbe judge
is an excellent man, and one of ability,
regardless of his free siiver views
which h3 -eun3ly bilieyes: in and
presents with emphasis" and effort.
he people could do worse than elect
Judge B-noett to congress. Eist
Oregonian. "
Judge Bennett is on8"of the leading
lawyers in, the state, a man of superior
ability and honesty, irf full sympathy
ind harmony with the 'great common
masses of tbe people. He would honor
any position within the gift of the peo
ple. Mr. Bennett is highly esteemed
n the sections of the state where he is
nown and enjoys an extended practise
in his profession. If he is elected, and
we hor.estly think he will be, Oregon
ill have at least one representative in
congress in whom she will feel a pride.
For the good of our state, it is to be
hoped that he may be successful.
Portland Dispatch.
Mr. Bennett was put in nomination
because he is a better man than Mr.
Ellis in every respect. If the republ
icans wanted the democrats to support
their man why didn't they put up the
best one they had? Wasco News.
There is no abler man in the second
istrict than Judge Bennett, of The
Dalles, democratic nominee for con
gress, tie is one or tne aoiest attor
neys in the state, and possesses all the
re-uisite qualifications for an efficient
cojgressmao. Baker City Democrat.
Heat Products.
The Cincinnati Price Current says:
An examination of the evidences of
distribution of product discloses a
f ivorable comparison for meats, for
the four months. On November 1 the
st cks in tbe west, of meats and
barreled pork, represented a total of
13,000,000 pound;; the quaoity made
was 918,000,00J making a supply of
1,017,000,000 pounds; remaining stock,
40'',0J0,0J0 pounds; indicate! disposi
tion, 606,000,000 pounds. This com
pares with 582,000.000 pounds disposed
of in 1893-94, for the corresponding
period, arrived at by a similar method
of calculation. This would indicate
that at the low prices the' past winter
the domestic consumption of meats has
been especially large.
. . A Mystery.
Two Corvallis maids had a queer ex
perience the other night, says ihe Ga
zette, and whether the supernatural
figured in it or not is a mystery. It
happened about midnight. When they
retired a small stand table stood quite
close to tbe bead of the bed, and on it
stood a lamp. About midnight they
were awakened by a crash, and when
the candle was lighted the stand table
stood in. the middle of the room, and
the lamp that had been on it was
smashed in pieces, a-id with the oil
was scattered on tbe floor near tbe
head of the bed. The houso was
searched, but neither a burglar nor
any signs of a burglar .were found.
