prised that he left the rubber produc
ing countries of Brazil and returned to

It is pretty early for grasshoppers,
but these little pests have mado their
appearance in large numbers on Five
and Eight-mile creeks. The farmers
of those sections hope that as the hop

AN EM3A:iRA3sTNG MISTAKE.
The Young Man Thoucht She Wu a
Man Thoucht
ileggar.
He was very busy, no doubt, ponder
ing some deep subject, lie strode along
with his bat well over h'.s brow and his
eyes fixed upon the ground. He had
been accosted several times in the block
by beggars and h'.:d his train of thought
interrupted by stopping to fling them
a coin.
lie wns vaguely aware that a figure
had stopped in front of him and he said,
rather tec-tlly:
"I haven't any change."
The gasp of breath which caused him
to look up produced an exclamation
from his lordship. Standing before him
was a fairer vision than is usually be
held in Wall street. She was a very
charming young woman, wearing the
very choicest of grass-cloth gowns,
under which gleamed a dark-rose silk.
She held her pretty parasol well away
from her face as she looked haughtily
at him, and her cheeks grew crimson
under her veil, until they rivaled the
American Beauty rose she wore at her
belt
He tried to apologize, but before he
could summon the proper words she
turned to a man near, who looked as if
he would be willing to spend his life in
her service, and asked him the way to
her lawyer's office. She evidently was
in a port of New York new to her, and
there was not a messenger boy or po
liceman in tight.
With a glance of triumph at the first
one he gave her the necessary directions,
prolonging them as mueh as he dared
that he might look into the beautiful
eyes upturned to his own.
lie raised his hat when she said, with
a bewitching smile: "Thank you so
much," and disappeared in the crowd.
"Better look before you speak, old
fellow," he said to the other one.
They were both en route to the law
yers' club for luncheon, and though it
cost him a couple of bottles of wine to
keep the story quiet, it got out some
how, and one only has to say, in a high,
mock feminine voice: "Kind sir, can
you tell me the way " to tease that ris
ing young lawyer, who has mentally
vowed to scan very carefully every one
who approaches him in future before
he takes it for granted it is a beggar.

HE WAS MISTAKEN.
The Little Man's Name Waa Not Rambo,
Nor Did He Bail from Sandusky.
All the passengers in the car noticed
that the big man on the left of the rear
door was looking fixedly at the small
man opposite, and by and by the small
man himself noticed the same thing.
After an embarrassing interval of three
minutes he observed:
"Well, what is it ?"
"Excuse me, sir," replied the big man ;
"but your face seems familiar." " '
"Yes."
"Though I can't place it."
"No?" j
"Is your name Rambo?"
"No, sir."
"1 thought it was. Didn't yon used
to live in San-lusky, O.?"
"No, sir; never was in Sandusky in
my life."
"Wasn't there in 1890, eh ?"
"No, sir."
That's queer. Just the minute I got
sight of you I was sure you was Rambo,
of Sandusky. If you are "
"But I'm not!" interrupted the small
man. "I never heard of Rambo and was
never in San Jusky."
"Wall, that settles it, I suppose," said
the big man, as he looked out of the
window and back again; "but if you
hadn't said so I should have continued
to shink you were tbe man."
"And what of it?" retorted the small
man, flushing up over it.
"Oh, r.othing much. He eloped with
my wife from Sandusky in 1890, and I
heard they were living in Detroit. If
you were Rambo I was going to ask
how"
"If you'll et off the car Til lick yon
and Rambo and Bambo and Hoodoo
aud all the rest of the gang put to
gether!" shouted the Bmall man, as he
got up and went out.
"No oh, no!" replied the big man.
"No, there is no call to fight. If you
are not Rambo. I beg vour pardon.
j Your face had a familiar look, and I just
thought I'd ask if"
But the small man hopped off the car
and went his way, and the big man
heaved a sigh and looked around and
said:
"I'm sorry I offended him, but I
thought it was Rambo, and was going to
ask if Maria nad had her teeth fixed and
her eyes straightened." Detroit Free

The People of That City Want
Line
.From The Dalle.
J. W. Howard, one of the leading
business men and heaviest stock rais
era of Crook county, is agitatirg the
proposition of establishing a telephone
line from here to Prineville, and feels
confident that the enterprise will be
successful if proper encouragemeut is
given it by capitalists and business
men of this city. Mr. Howard esti
mates that the line can be put in oper
ation for from $10,000 to $12,000, and
tbe greater portion of the capital re
quired can be secured at Prineville
and along the line, though to insure
Its success The Dalles will be expected
to subscribe a portion of the stock.
Telephone connection with the inter
ior would be a source of great con
venience to that section tributary to
The Dalles, and would result in an in
crease of business, almost insuring a
retention of all the wool business here,
for if the. wool raisers of Crook county
could keeo themselves informed as to
prices every day during the wool
season, they would never go elsewhere
for storage or for a market.
While in the city Mr. Howard will
lay the matter before the business men
of The Dalles, and it will probably be
called up in the Commercial Club for
consideration. Should the club con
sider the matter favorably there is
little doubt that sufficient stock can be
secured here to guarantee the estab
lishment of the line before the wool
6eason begins, as it could be put in
within a month or six weeks after work
is begun.
Attention Freighter.
Bids are wanted for hauling abount
100,000 pounds wool and 25,000 to 35,-

A Uood Idea.
The directors of tbe D. P. & A. N.
Co. contemplate giving an excursion
to Astoria some time la the near fu
ture. It is proposed to leave
here I
gome Saturday evening on the Reg-'
ulator in time to get through the locks
before dark, and float down to Astoria
that night and return Sunday night to
the Locks, come through Monday
morning to The Dulles, and thus give
the excursionists all day iu the city by
the sea. This idea is a good one, for
The Dalles should becomo better ac
quainted with . her neighbors at the
mouth of the river, and a day spent in
that city by the people of Tbe Dalles
will be beneficial in many respects.
We will get acquainted with the As-
torians, learn something of their needs
and requirements, and possibly may
learn that our trade may be extended
to that place in some lines that would
be both beneficial to The Dalles and
Astoria. Bv all means let the com
pany arrange for tbe excursion, and
there will be no difficulty about getting
acro-rdtogo.
A PKCtUAK ACCIDENT.
Little Girl Beacned From a Well at La
Grand".
Last Saturday, Ettta, the youngest
daughter of J. E. Foley, of La Grande,
in corpany with her two brothers and
William Osborn, was looking for a dog
to which the children were much at
tached, and heard the dog floundering
in the nater under the St. Louis stable,
Under the stable is an old well, into
which the dog bad fallen. Into this
Etta pitched headlong. Tho well is
about two feet and a half in diameter,
and in it is 1G feet of water, reaching
within five feet of the top.
Under the floor of the stable it was
as dark as night, and Mr. Osborn
could do nothing but call for help.
When tbe child fell in the dog natural
ly s m amble 1 for the top, forcing tbe
girl under water. Mr. Foley came in
response t3 the call of Mr. Osborne,
and with him Dr. Honan. Mr. Foley
was let down bead foremost into the
well and after one or two attempts,
succeeded in bringing out the dog, and
afterward seized the little girl by the
foot and brought her to the surface. It
is thought that tbe child was under
water four or five minutes. She was
unconscious when hauled out, but soon
recovered, and seems but little the
worse for her startling experience.

Siendquist, and also tbe boat was re
covered by the crew of the steamer
Dalles City, which arrived soon after
the accident occurred.
All of the men resided at Cascade
Locks, and Mr. Syrings leaves a wife
and four or five children, who were de
pendent upon his labors for support.
The other men were unmarried. A
heavy wind and the strong current at
the point where the boat went down
made it impossible for assistance to
reach the men or for them to help them
selves. -:'
An Object of Pity.
The officers, at an early hour this
morning, took id charge a man who is
a subject of pity. He is suffering from
specific eczema and the parts expoeed
present an appearance sickening to he
hold. When examined at the city ball
be stated that his name is Nicholas
White, and bis people live in Califor
nia. For some time he has been work
ing on the railroad at Huntington, but
the malignant form of his disease caused
him to stop working, and he is now
on his way home and only stopped off
here for a rest. The police took the
sick man off the streets as soon as
found and reported the case to County
Commissioner Evans who bad White
removed ts St. 'Mary's hospital. He
will take the next passenger train for
the coast. Walla Walla Statesman.
This is the man of whom mention is
made in another polumn. It appears
that he has been sent from pillar to
post by every town where he chances
to land, though people who claim to be
humane should take charge of and care
for the poor fellow until death comes
to his relief.
Home From Brazil.
Rev. Frank Spalding, at one time
presiding elder of (his district, ac
companied by his family, has returned
from Brazil, and will henceforth reside
somewhere in the United States. Mr,
Spaulding went to Brazil as a mission
ary about four years ago, and has been
laboring in that field until recently,
Mr. and Mrs. Spaulding reached New
York on the 15th of tbe present month,
and at once started for their old borne
in Oregon. Mr." Spaulding arrived
here this morning, while Mrs. Spauld
ing stopped at Columbus. As yet Mr.
Spaulding has not determined where
lie will locate, though will no doubt be
assigned to some place by tbe confer
ence, at all events he will not return
to Brazil, the climate there having
proven very injurious to his health.
Where Did They Come From? '
George Krauss has been digging a
well near the end of the Oregon Lum
ber Co's. iloom, and at the depth of 40
feet discovered a lot of human bones
and tenth deposited tn a bed of gravel.
Sinking the well to a depth of 50 feet
he encountered another bed of gravel
in which were more bones and teeth.
This discovery leads one to inquire
where the bones came from, and what
sort of people did they belong to. The
formations in which they were found
evidently had nut been disturbed for
centuries, and the people whose re
mains were thus discovered must have
lived when the Columbia river was a
little riyulet and Mt. Hood a molehill

FISHING WITH DOGS.
Cnlqne Method of Capturing Salmon tTaed
by the Alnns.
The savages of Saghalin island have
a unique method of fishing for salmon
trout with their dogs, a description of
which is given in "Trans-Siberian Sav
ages." The water around the island
is wonderfully clear. The author, who
went out in a canoe, says the bottom
was distinctly visible, while from
under the canoe the frightened salmon
trout were swimming seaward in such
numbers it seemed as if it would be
difficult to drop a stone into the water
without striking one.
From the time we started I was
puzzled to guess what the Ainus couM
be taking thirty dogs with them for.
I was soon to find out. At a certain
point all the men and dogs came to a
halt. Half the men and dogs then
moved farther along the water's edge
about two hundred yards.
At a concerted signal the dogs were
started from their respective points
and swam straight out seaward in
single file in two columns. At a wild,
sharp cry from all the Ainus the right
column wheeled left and the left col
umn wheeled right until the head of
each column met. Then at another
signal all of them swam in line toward
the shore, advancing more and more in
crescentic formation.
As the dogs neared the shore in
creasing numbers of fish appeared in
the shallow water, frightened forward
by the splashing of the advancing col
umn of dogs, which, as soon as their
feet touched bottom, pounced upon
the fishes as quick as a flash.
The animals promptly brought the
fish which they had seized to their
masters, who cut off their heads and
gave each dog the head which be
longed to him as his share of the catch.
The dog who caught nothing got noth
ing. I believe this dog drill of the Ainus
is entirely unique. It is all the more
remarkable, too, as the dogs, many of
which have been captured' from the
forest, are still half wild.
ANTS IN FLORIDA.
The Tast Damage Which These Endtnlea
of the Fanner Can Do.
There are more ants to the square
mile in Florida than in any other coun
try in the world, says the Savannah
News. There are ants which will
measure more than half an inch in
length, and then there are ants so
small that they can hardly be seen to
move with the unaided eye. There are
red ants and black ants and trouble
some ants. But as bad as they are, I
have never heard of them eating out
the seat of a man's trousers, as a mis
sionary, Rev. Mr. Wilson, once told the
writer he saw the army ants do in
India while the man was sitting on the
earth for a few minutes beside him.
But the Florida ants will take out
the lettuce and other minute seeds
from the soil in which they are planted
and actually destroy the beds. They
will suck the life out of acres of young
encumbers and melon plants, uproot
strawberry plants or cover the buds
with earth to such an extent as to kill
them. They will get into pie. pickle,
sauce, sirup, sugar; on meat, in hash;
will riddle a cake or fill a loaf of
baker's bread till it is worthless. All
remedies failing, I took to baiting them
near their nests with slices of meat,
bones, apple and pear parings, and
when I had from fifty to one hundred
thousand out I would turn a kettle of
boiling water on them. I have killed
during the past week over a million in
the space of a quarter acre lot, and I
have almost wiped them out. 1 had to
do this to secure any lettuce plants,
and many unobservant farmers com
plata of seedsmen when they should at
tribute their troubles to insects.
ONE-LEGGED . SENATORS.
Four of
Them Were Together at On
. Time In Washington.
' Say what they will, says a Washing
ton letter, the associates of Senator
Berry, of Arkansas, cannot persuade
him to try a cork leg. At one time
there were four one-legged senators.
Three of them half concealed the loss
with an -artificial substitute. They
used to get together in the cloak-room
and tell each other how mnch more
comfortable they felt, but they never
convinced Senator Berry. He clings
to his crutches, notwithstanding they
have failed him more than once, and
sent him headforemost downstairs al
most to his death.
There are funny things about this
one-legged business. Henderson, of
Iowa, the Dubuque veteran, man
ages them so well that people form his
acquaintance and see him around for
weeks without learning that he is part
cork. Once in awhile the stump be
comes sensitive, and Mr. - Henderson
leaves the artificial leg at home for a
few days to rest himself, while be hob
bles about the house of representatives
on crutches, to the amazement 01 those
who have not known him long. A sen
ator who manages an - artificial leg
without awkwardness is Butler, of
South Carolina. He carries a cane and
moves with some deliberation, but not
one person in one hundred passing him
on the street detects any stiffness in
lus gait. "

Electric Car Goes Oft the Track in Tort-
land With Fatal Result.
' At 6:30 this morning an electric cac
on the Mt. Tabor line in Portland was
coming down a steep grade on Mor
rison street when the Breaks failed to
work, and the motorman and conduc
tor realizing that the car bad got from
under their control leaped off just be
fore a sharp cirve at Eighth street was
reached. When the car rounded the
curve it left tbe track, falling 25 feet
into a ditch of five feet of water with
34 passengers. All the passengers
were core or less injured, and three
were instantly killed. The dead are
W. W. Blanchard, a laborer, Newton
Hanson, a boy aged 18 years, and a
young woman who has not been identi
fied. .
No sooner had tha-accident been
made known than willing hands came
to the assistance of those imprisoned
in the car, though it was with great
difficulty that the injured were rescued
Had the car gone 20 feet further be
fore it left the track It would have been
thrown into 5 feet of water, and the
majority of the passengers would have
been drowned before they could have
been rescued.
Killed Near La, Grande.
Sunday morning Henry Sledel was
shot and instantly killed by George
Bartmess, at the latter's farm near La
Grande. Seidel had leased the Bart
mess farm, though the latter retained
tbe use of tbe garden, and a quarrel
had ensued. Sied was engaged in
plowing, when the trouble occurred.
After having some words Bartmess
went to the house and armed himself
with a Winchester, and returning, the
ouarrel was renewed. It is claimed
that Sledel was advancing on Bartmess,
in a threatening way, aud refusing to
stop when commanded, Bartmess fired,
tbe ball taking effect in the region of
the heart, killing Sledel instantly.
Both witnesses of tbe affair say Bart
mess acted in Belf-defense.
Hawsers irxom "Sawtowa.
Wood sawing contests have become
a common amusement among members
of the Woodmen order all over the
coast, and we believe a prize has been
offered for tbe best record made in cut
ting off an 18-inch log. Recently the
Woodmen of Prineville gaye a sawing
contest in which there were two
entries, and the way those sawyers
made sawdust fly a a caution. The
first pair cut the log in two in 45 sec
con ds, which was a record breaker.
Then the Crain. brothers, Charles and
Oscar, tackled the log, and succeeded
in filing it off in 35 seconds, the best
time ever known, and will undoubtedly
entitle them to the championship as
sawyers in the Woodmen order or any
other order.
The Objection not Good
There are people who have objection
to advertising matter in the reading
colums of a newspaper. Tho g rou nd of
objection is that they dont want to read
advertisements. Now this objection
is not good, for often times advertise
ments convey valuable information.
For instance, how else would the
traveling public learn of the excellent
dining car service of the Wisconsin
Central Lines between St. Paul and
Chicago, or the general comfort of
traveling over this popular lino. For
particulars call on tbe nearest ticket
