Land Commissioner Hermann has
returned to Washington city, after a
visit to Oregon. Before leaving Port
land he talked about the fore"st reserve
question, into which ue had been look
ing, lie thinks there wiil bo a lively
tight over it at the coming session of
congress. He purposes asking a con
siderablc a-'Dropriation to carry out
the plans of forest protection. He dd
sires to establish a complete patrol
system against forest fires and depre
dations. He claims that sheep do not
hurt the forests, while the so-called
scientists insists that they do. This
becomes a matter of importance from
the fact that in Oregon and Washing
ton great bands of sheep are pastured
in the forests. The scientists insist
they harm the growth of the young
timber and perhaps in some cases dry
up tho streams. Oregon and Wash
ington hiivc been exempted from tbe
provL-ious against" su.-u pitsturae, the
eHuiile here permitting tbe quick re
production of undergrowth stamped
out by the sheep. Tho commisbioner
thinks there will be a iU-ong effort to
stop this exemption, but he ill resist
it. The geological surveyors are at
work to determine whether some of
the sections included iu the orders
really come under the head of and
should be treated as reserves. 'I titir

i THE BOYS.
Ret tor Was Fined 83 and Like
True .lk Ue .Vuid It.
An Eniscoo-il c.ersrvman of Grand
Rapids, Mich., who belongs to the
order of Elks, attended a meeting the
other evening. The chairman, notic
ing his presence said: "I see our Rev.
Brother amongus thisevening.
And as this is such au unusual occur
rence. I think he will have to be as
sessed $5." The rector put his hand
into his waistcoat pocket, and inareh-
ins- ud to the desk, put down his little
"V" and made a nice little speech, in
which he told how glad he vas to be
with his brother Elks, and ended by
inviting them to come and hear him
preach the next Sunday evening.
Some one moved that the Elks accept
the invitation and go in a body to
their brother's church, whicn was
unanimously carried.
The next Sunday evening the front
pews of the church were filled with
Elks, and when theU?v. Mr. as
cended his pulpit, he saiu: "I am de
lighted to see so many of my brothor
Elks here this evening, but as it is
such an unusual occurrence with the
most of them, 1 think they should each
be assessed $1. Let your light so
shine, etc."
The way the silver dollars rattled on
that plate was a caution. Tho contri
bution was much heavier than usual,
and the Elks voted their reverend
brother all right.
TO CUBE DYSPEPSIA.
A fcnw Rrmrdy UhUh Vi lli do It.
Chronic dyspepia is considered by
mauy people to bu nearly if not quite
incurable. No good reason can be
given why they think so except tha
perhaps they have tried variou
remedies without much, if any benefit
but the progress in every branch of
medicine has been such that among
others a lasting cure for indigestion in
its chronic form as well as temporary
ha3 been discovered and is now placed
beforo tho public strictly on its merit
as a permanent cure for all stomach
troubles or difficulties with the diges
tive organs.
This new treatment is called Stuarc's
Dyspepsia Tablets, being put up in
tablet form so as to be easily taken
and also to preserve its good qualities
for an indefinite length of time.
This remedy has p.-oduced surprising
effects in the worst forms of indiges
tion, and in many eases where ordicary
remedies failed to give even relief.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have fully
cured.
The splendid results from using this
preparation are owing to the fact that
it is prepared aud intended for dyspep-
a aud s-.om ach troubles only. It is
not a cure-all like so many advertised
remedies, claiming to cure everything
under the sun, but it is claimed that it
is a certain cure for dyspepsia and
anyone suffering from any form of in
digestion cannot fail to get permanent
relief and cure from its use.
It is so prepared and the ingredients
are of such a nature that when the
tablets are taken into the stomach
they digest the food do matter whether
the stomach is in good working order
or not. You get sustenance and
strength to mind and body by reason
of the food being properly digested
and at the same time the much abused
stomach is allowed to rest and recuper
ate. Notwithstanding the great benefits
to be derived from Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets, the price is but 50c for full
sized package and all druggists sell
them.

CLAIMS MUST BE PAID.
Peremptory Writ Issued In Chios Agniu.t
Secretary Kincaid.
By order of the supreme court,
peremptory writ was issued Ww-dr.es
day in the case of E. D. Shar.tuck vs
Harrison R. Kincaid, secretary of
state, directing the defendant, as
secretary of state, to draw a warrarj
iu favor of tho plaintiff for f 7-10. th
amount claimed to be duo as salurv as
circuit j'idgo of tho f lurth judic'al
'listrict for the quarter ending March
dl, 1397. The writ was i-sue.!, aud
seived on the secretary of statu, and
the warrant drawn. This puts in
effect the recent decision of the
supreme court in the case, and gives
state claims a new status us to recog
nition by the secretary of state, and
the auditing of claims and drawing of
warrants will now be resumed in the
secretary of state's office, after a sus
pension that has lasted from the time
the legislature failed to make the
regular biennial appropriation until
today.
At the same time the decision was
rendered in the case of Judge Shatt ilea
the court passed upon the claims of A,
B. Croasman for supplies furnished ;he
penitentiary, and the claim of the
Irwin-Hudson Company for supplies
furnished tho secretary of state's office
decreeing that their claims should be
audited aud warrants drawn for the
amount allowed thereon.

New Laud Ofllce Appointee.
Owing to the change of administra
tion, commissioner Hermann has ap
pointed Miss Annie M. Lang chief
clerk of the land office to supersede G.
G. Gibbons, and Miss Lang has filed
her orth of office , and assumed the
duties of chief clerk today. The duties
of the office are not new to Miss Lang,
for during tbe time her father, the late
Col. Lang, was receiver she was his
private clerS, hence the new appointee
is thoroughly competent in every re
spect. Her appointment cannot but
meet with the approval of the patrons
of the office, for it is not only a just
recognition of her competency, but is
a comDliment to the memory of her de
ceased father, who was a prominent
republican during his lifetime, always
taking a live interest in the welfare of
that party. If the administration con
tinues to exercise as good jud mnt in
filling other federal offices in Oregon
as has been shown in this instance,
democrats can find no cause for com
plaint. Died of Consumption.

to retrain incognito as far as his right

Judge Sears says he knows of no law
that can compel a man to give his true
name if he does not want to. For the
purpose of the prosecution, however,
the name of Jackson is sufficient, as
the prisoner answered to the indict

THET CnuEED THE WOMEN.
The Outcry Broucht Help and mn Attempt
ed Bobbery Was Foiled.
- What is supposed to have been a
bold attempt to rob a farmer of the
money he had received from the sale of
his wheat crop occurred Friday night
;On the farm of William Collins, who
resides in this city, says the Corvallis
Times. The farm is located north of
Wells adjoining tbe Wiles farm,, and
is occupied by Harry Griffin. Last
Friday Griffin sold his wheat in Inde
pendence, and returned home in the
afternoon with -the cash received for
the grain. A man named Smith and
his family happened to be at the Grif
fin's on a visit, and that night, for
lack of room in the house, Mr. Griffin
and Mr. Smith slept in the barn.
About midnight Mrs. Griffin and Mrs.
Smith, who, with one child, occupied
the same bed in the house were awak
ened by rough hands clutching their
throats. In the . dim light they saw
the forms of two men at their bedside,
and by dint of the struggles and cries
of the two women the child was awak
ened, and the outcries that followed
drove the intruders from the room.
The screams from the house quickly
brought the two husbands from the
barn only a few yards away, and the
episode ended in the disappearance of
the thieves and the entire miscarriage
of their errand, so far as capturing the
farmer's wheat money was concerned.
The following morning the tracks of
tho intruders were found in the door
yard and in the road, and it is popular
ly supposed in the neighborhood that
tho men heard of the wheat saio and
followed Griffin to his home.

Perils of the Snake.
Last week as a prospector was float
ing down Snake riyer on a rudely con
structed raft, which served tho pur
pose of a boat, en route to the Seven
Devils and some of the numerous bars
below Huntiagton, he had to pass the
piacer mine of Mr. Kuckman at tbe
mouth of Powder river. Mr. Ruck-
man has a large wheel that hoists the
water out. of snake river into a bar he
i mining. In some unaccountable
manner the prospector who Is a Dutch
man, allowed his raft to get into the
current, which drew the raft and the
Dutchman into the bole. In a few
seconds the whole outfit was ground
through, blankets, rocker, grub, Dutch
man and all. Strange as it may seem
the man escaped with about enough
clothes on him to wad a shotgun, a
wetter but a wiser man. The balance
of the outfit was swept down tbe stream.
Tbe only explanation the Dutchman
gave was, "Mine Gott! Dot vas hell."

A Spirited Ennawaj.
Last evening James Han nan was
pulling up the cut on Union street
with a load of wood when the king
bolt of his wagou gave way, letting
the front wheeU pull out from under
tho wagon. This frightened his horses
and they started to run, dragging Mr.
Hannan off the wagon." He clung to
the lines for a time, but the gait was
too rapid for him and he was compelled
to let go. Freed from a driver, and
with nothing to impede their speed,
the horses dashed up Union street to
Prof. Gavin's new residence, then
chased around through different streets
until they brought up on an electric
light pole near George Williams'
place. No material damage was done,
but tbe runaway team gave the -residents
of the bluff considerable fright
as they dashed through the streets in
ibat section.

tive order.
By virtue of a warrant to me directly

8mlth-Oharr Wedding.
At the M. E. church last night Rev.
J. II. Wood pronounced the bans
un'ting in marriage Mr. S. S. Smith
and Mrs. Julia A. Obarr, both of The
Dalles. The contracting parties are
well and favorably known in The
Dalles, Mrs. Obarr having resided here
for many years, and has conducted the
Farmer's hotel in the East End for a
longtime. Mr. Smith has also resided
here -for some time, and has many
friends who will congratulate him up
on his good fortune.
TIIE SAME OLD CONDITION.
A Merchant Mast Do What He Advertises
If Holds Trade.
John Wacaiiiukerouce said that the
secret of his succees in business was
the result of advertising and always
doing what he promised in his adver
tisements. Ho allwaf9 pursued this
course, and as a result whatever you
read in his announcements you could
I depend upon. . This course is also pur
' sued by the Great Northern Furniture
store, and is proving a success in that
business. When this establishment
; came to The Dalles it announced it
j would reduce the price on all house
furnishing goods from 20 to 40 per
cent.
This seemed a startling reduction,
but everyone who has priced the goods
at this store haa been convinced of the
truthfulness of the statement. When
: one can get handsome bedroom sets
for $lo to S3o he knows he is not pay
ing Klondike prices, and when he can
get a cook stove for $; to $10, a parlor
set for S10 to $20 and other furniture at
like figures, he knows the Great Nortn
ern Furniture store has kept its word.
It will continue to do in the future as
it has done in the past, and whoever
buys there may rest assured that he is
getting the best values for the least
money. .

Wednesday was a record-breaker in
the number of new cases of yellow
fever at New Orleans, while the deaths
equalled in number those of any day
since the fever was first discovered in
tbe city. Twentyfour new cases and
five deaths were reported.'-. There are
various reasons given for the spread of
the disease, but the principal ones are
two that tbe weather turned warm
again, and owing to the much wider
field to cover, the board of health has
had some difficulty in getting every
house as closely guarded as was pos
sible' when the cases were few in num
ber. An analysis of sugar beets grown
Dear Medford has been made by tbe
experimental station at Corvallis and
shows a remarkable amount of sugar
in the beets grown in that, section.
Fourteen per cent of sugar 80 per cent
purity is considered a good beet; and
of tbe 16 samples examined the highest
was 20 ner cent sugar of 91 per C3nt
purity, and 14.2 per cent sugar of 9G
per cent purity, showing that Medford
beets are exceptionally good.

The Chicago Tribune offers this
queer advice to the young man who
has the Klondike craze, as follow?!
Acquire hahits of industry and self
control; be prepared to meet with
firmness - whatever' "discouragements
may arise: scrape together two or
three times as much money for the
journey as tbe best estimates render
necessary, and don't go.
