Mrs. Catherine Sager Pringle, a sur
vivor of the Whitman massacre, near
Walla Walla, and - a member 'of the
Whitman household, at the time,' is'
convinced - that the remains of the
martyred missionary were not in the
irrave recently opened, from whiah
the bones were removed and exhibited,
at Walla Walla. Mrs. Pringle lost
her parents on the long journey to
Oregon, and was adopted by Mr. and
Mrs. Whitman. Although a child
when the awful massacre took place,
she has a vivid recollection of i hor
rors. She writes to the Spokesman
Review under date of October 25th, as
follows: ... ,
"There is an old proverb that says,
'Where ignorance is bliss, 'tis folly to
be wi-e.' I was forcibly reminded of
this when I read the description of the
skulls aken from the grave of Dr.
Whitman. Had the grave remained
undisturbed, the public would nevr
had known but that all the remain's of
the victims reoosed there. I have .'al
ways had ray. doubts on the matter,
knowing all the circumstances, and so
expressed myself when applied to years
ago for my consent to moving the re
mains to the campus of Whitman col
lege.. ;-&i'I am thoroughly, convinced now
that none of the skulls found belonged
to Dr. Whitman, for none of the wound
marks answer to those he received a
tomahawk wound, on the back of the
head and a gunshot, wound in the
throat. ' , ,. ' ....
"I woul'd.8Qoner think.that skull No.
1 belonged to -Crockett Bewey or
Amos i Sales,-'who were.' murdered in
their beds on the 13th "day of Decem
ber, 1847, as they were thrown out to
'the floor and dragged by the feet to
the door, whpreHhey were thrown out..
I saw the Indiana strike them repeat
edly with their tomahawks.
' "The skull of the man who appeared
to be about 60 years old is probably
Mr. Marsh, the miller. One probably
is Hoffman, and oue Gillian, the tailor.
"As there was only one . woman
killed, it must be, as the learned doc
tors say, that of Mrs. Whitman-e-if it is
that of a woman. I have my doubts.
It may be that of one or the other of
the Sager boys,"

to pursue would' be to never buy of

However, to him who would be ad

""Not only does nature warn us of im
pending storm and sudden atmospheric
changes but also of prolonged storms,
severe cold or heat. It is a notable
fact that abundant crops of vegetation,
heavy, foliage and ' partioularially a
heavy crop of nuts, acorns, etc., always
precede a long severe winter.

guided by instinct, afford .us unmistak
able evidence of the extent of succeed

nature, it paturaily folluws that ample
provisions are not wanting in localities
most frequented by excessive obaqges,

coast, has a.soll.adapted to long , con

The news of the death at The Dalles,
Or., of Colonel Sinnott will be received
with pain by all in Idaho and else
where who knew him; and his friends
were legion. Colonel Sinnott was one
.of the best known men in private life
in the Pacific northwest. For more
than a quarter of a century and up to
the day of his death he was the host of
that widely known hostelry, tho Uma
tilla House at The Dalles, and In that
capacity - became acquainted with a
great many people who otherwise
might never have known him. Col
onel Sinnott was one of those men of
whom it can be said the world Is better
for his naving lived in it. The soul of
honor; with a heart as tender as that
of a woman, liberal even often - to his
personal disadvantage, he was loved
and respected by all who came In con
tact wlth him. '
. Celonel Sinnott's generosity, was
preyerbial. No man ever left his
hotel home with the pangs of hunger
gnawing at his vitals; snd as thesnows
of winter silvered his hair and time
furrowed lines on his kindly face; it
was with the keenest pleasure that he
at frequent Intervals oame to know
teat his genoroslty had not been for
gotten. In this oonnectlon the follow
ing story Is told: .. .
In the early days a' Hebrew .peddler
arrived in The Dalles with his pack.
He was exhausted from his. long tramp,
and failure . to dispose of his goods
soon left him penniless and. hungry.
He appealed to Colonel Sinnott, who
took him. in, - .When .he was ready to
depart. he offered,, Lthe , colonel all the
inoney- be - had, about $6, in parji pty
tnent of .his account of "about $20,"but
Colonel Sinnott. refused' it and sent
him a ay. A few weeks later the ped
dler, having been more fortunate,' re
mitted the amount in full and lie passed
out of the colonel's recollection. ''
Two days after the 'fire that almost
wiped The Dalles out of existence Col
onel SlBnott received a message' from
New. York stating,' "Wait for my let
ter," and signed Blbomentbal. With
surprise he waited the arrival of the
epistle. It came in due time and It
stated the writer had read in the press
dispatches of The Dalles fire and pre
sumed that the hotel burned was Col
onel. Sinnott's. If so, the writer de
sired the oolonel to apply to him for
nuau uiwucj lc uecunu ouu bu use six
figures if necessary. .The "letter" went
on to state, that the writer was the
Hebrew peddler whbm th'e colonel had
assisted,, who "had' .worked himself up
o the head of an extensive manufao
tqring; .eq'terprlae.. 'The "colonel re
piled .his hotel , had not been burned
and be was not financially distressed.
Mr. Bloomenthal replied that he stood
.ready .to assist hlua i at any time and for
any sum he might need.
. Hundreds of men were lifted' along
by Colonet Sinnott and these as well
as all others who knew him will' read
with , sincere regret the .. news of his
demise. Idaho Dally Statesman. '

A Modest Remand.
Tuesday the widow of Jim" Wesley,
an Indian who died suddenly in The
lalles about a year ago, appeared at
the pfiiee Qf a well known notary In
the olty with a complaint that une pf
her horses had been run over and
killed by a railroad train near Celilo,
and requested that the notary put in a
claim for damages to the rallrpad com
pany, imagining mat ne saw in - me
case a fat fee, the notary at onoe pre
pared the claim,' which was an elabor
ate document, asd when it was com
pleted asked the widow to state ' the
amount of her damages. Now Mrs.
Wesjey Is a goqd honest ndap, and
fteeds the admpnlgo tqat "tbou shalt
o(. lie," and kpowing thaf. horseflesh
is p.qt prerly valuable at preseBt, tled
the damages at rz.i). This was a
stunner for the notary, who ' bad ex
pected at least a $10 fee out of the job.
f the claim Is allowed, the squaw will
still owe the sollultor $7-50 for his
work, and as she Is not a millionaire;
in fact her whole estate Is not valued
at that amount, the notary will find it
difficult to collect his bill.

Catching the Weasj.
There is a firm In town that Is run
ning. an auction store on Second street
and catching people who have more
money than ' business sagacity. . The
goods the firm offers Is a bankrupt
stock of all sort ot articles, and the
credulous purchaser. Is attracted to the
store by the ringing of a Ml and the
entreaties of a hawlter who proolaims
wonderful bargains are about to be of
fered. The result is, people flock into
tho building and buy at auction, pay
ing for articles more tban they would
be required to pay for the same goods
offered by regular dealers. Such itin
erants as this drop Into a town, catch
the money of uncautigus pPQf.lt, and
move out without paying a cent to the'
malntainanoe of the city or county
government, while local and regular
dealers who are located here and pay

There Js a deacon in a cortaio fehiurch
into which opa, Sunday a drunkard
staggered and sat down. The preacher
was discoursing about the present pop
ular, vices. Soon he exclaimed; ''where
Is the' drunkard?" "The drunken man
was just far enough gone to think the
call personal, so rising heavily. replied:
"Here I am," and remained standing
while the drunkard's fate and charac
ter were eloquently portrayed, 4 few
minutes later tha minister reached
another head iu his discourse and
asked, "where is the hypocrite?"
Gently nudging his neighbor 'the
"uVunkeu man said fn - ah audible
whisper: "-Stand up, deacon, and take
It like a man, just as I did; it will do
you good.";; "" '

Two .years ago "the old stand Tbjy
made a prohibitory rate that compelled
these lop teams per (Jay to haul their

Portland, thereby losing thousands of
dollars in trade to our merchants.

cade locks were .opened, and up to
about a month ago, at which time ' the
White Star Line made its appearance
upon the scene, the people of the in
land Empire had ' not received one

expenditure, Freight and passenger
rates bad not been. reduced id any way,
as the people 'had long looked forward
to. If the rates that "the old standby"
had been charging the people before

to pay off a large Indebtedness, and to

have the people been subjected to since
that time. Free. lockage. having oh
