Burglar Break Into Marsh Meddlers
Store mt Wasco.
Some time Sunday night a burglar
entered Marsh & Medler's drug store
at Wasco, went through the safe and
secured about $1,000 In cash. Entrance
was effected by prying open the back
door of the sto-e with a chisel after an
unsuccessful attempt had been made
to get through a rear window. When
once inside the burglar had no diffi
culty in getting into the safe which
was not locked, the combination not
being turned on, though the drawers
in which the money was kept were
locked. These were readily opened
and about $200 of money belonging to
Marsh & Medler and $800 belooging to
B. F. Medler was taken. A number
of checks and other papers in the safe
were not disturbed, and some $500
worth of jewelry in the show case was
not molested.
An investigation of the premises re.
vealed the tracks of the burglar, but
no clew to his identity could be had
from them, for he had carefully
wrapped his feet in gunny sacks before
going to the building.
A hand car had been stolen during
the night from tbe Columbia Southern
depot, and was found at Biggs the
next morning, so it is supposed the
burglar, after getting the money had
boarded the hand car, run it to Biggs
and there taken the O. R. & N. fur
the west, as . he could hardly have
reached Biggs in time to take the east
bound train. Sheriff Holder, of Sher
man county, is investigating the mat
ter, but at last accounts had discovered
no clew that would lead to the discov
ery of the burglar.

stroyed. Shortly after 3 o'clock Monday
morning, fire broke out In the Willed
restaurant in Pendleton, and before It
was checked, the restaurant, Platzoe
der & Wingers' meat market, Kobler's
saloon and lodging house, were burn
ed out, leaving a bl vacant snot in
one of the principal business bloeks in
the city. "
The fire originated fn the kitchen of
the restaurant, where Miss Tucker,
one of tbe proprietors, was preparing
bre i k fast for two men who had jutt
arrived from the country. The flames
soon spread to the adjoining buildings,
and were only checked after over an
hour's hard fight by the firemen, and
all the wooden buildings up to the
Thompson-Barnhart brick bad been
consumed. The loss occasioned by the
fire is estimated to be about $15,000,
partially covered by insurance. The
owners of the land where the fire
occurred contemplate rebuilding with
brick.

DEATH BY LIGHTNING.
4 Theory That It Is Caused by the Upward
Clectrlc Current.
The phenomenon of lightning is the
signal that announces the comi:i to
gether of different electric currents in
the restoration of equilibrium. All
life is electricity, the stomach is a re
generator, the brain is a battery, sc.ys
the Pittsburgh Dispatch. When one
is killed by lightning, death is due to
absorption to a loss of this vital Huid,
or whatever it may be termed, that im
pels the physical engine. A thunder
cloud is charged with positive elec
tricity, the earth below is charged
negatively. Any object below this
Joud is similarly charged with this
negative current. A discharge from
ibove takes place, the currents meet,
gnition ensues, the expansion of tlie
jases produces a vacuum, the aif comes
together again with a report and this
s thunder.
A late view is, when one animate ob
ject is struck dead by lightning, that
che upward and not the downward
current is the agent. The fact that no
bird on the wing has been known to
be killed by hghtning is not con
clusive in sustaining this latter view
of the method of lightning in produc
ing death.
When a tree is thus struck, the sod
is' frequently lifted away from the
roots in such a manner as to indicate
Jie downward passage of the stroke.
An Indlspeasaolv Volume.
. "The-Earth Girdled" is the only
book in existence that gives a history
of all the different-- reFgions of the
world, what their votaries actually be
lieve, the various forms of worship,
and the national, social and domestic
influence that each exercises upon the
people who believe In the a. It is the
only book that compares all religions
with Christianity, and their influence
upon the destinies of the world. The
last struggle between lig'it and dark
ness s ems to be at hand. This is ex
emplified in the death struggle now
taking place in Armenia and elsewhere.
Dr. Talmagu's new took therefore be
comes an absolute necessity. It is tbe
only book that throws open the flood
gates of light upon these matters, aud
no thinking person cm afford to deny
himself the benefits of such a work.

Indians Believe That God nad an Adviser
ac the Creation.
In the ' beginning God made Adam
)ut of the earth, but he did not make
jlus-kabe (the Indian God), says Abbe
L. Alger in the Regular Science
Alonthly. Glus-kabe made himself out
of the dirt that was kicked up in the
creation of Adam. lie rose and walked
about, but he could not speak until the
Lord opened his lips.
God made the earth and the sea, and
then He took counsel with Glus-kabe
concerning them. lie asked him if it
would be better to have tbe rivers run
up on one side of the earth and down
on the other, but Glus-kabe said: "No,
they must all run down one way."
Then the Lord asked him about the
ocean, whether it would not do to have
it always lie still. Glus-kabe told Him:
"No! It must rise and fall, or else it
would grow thick and stagnant."
"How about fire?" asked the Lord;
"can it burn all the time and nobody
put it out?"
Glus-kabe said: "That would not
do, for if anybody got burned and fire
;ould not be put out, they would die;
but if it could be put out, then the
burn would get welL"

Idiosyncrasies of the Hen Who
. Harmony in the I'aaU
I am tickled to know that Wagner
was an exact and expensive dresser, and
that Beethoven was a sloven, with an
old coat and slippers trodden down at
the heels, says a writer in the Con
temporary Review. It interests me to
hear that Faganini always carried a
shirt in his fiddle case, because he per
spired so profusely over his solos that
he had to change between the parts if
he played twice. I even care to learn
that Mendelssohn was a perfect child
about pastry, which he could never re
sist, and which he always ate (especial
ly cherry pie) and which always dis
agreed with him; that Schumann in
jured his, third finger by tying it back
to his wrist with a string, because he
hoped to make it more supple it end
ed, however, in his almost losing the
use of it; that Kulow got up in the night
to piny over passages which he thought
he was likely to play inaccurately at
his prodigious recitals.
When Thalberg was at the height of
his fame he wouldn't even carry an
umbrella, for fear of it cramping the
muscles of his hand; Malibran loved
i-othing so much as romping with
Moscheles children on the floor;
Paganini was so stingy that he would
stand up under shelter in the rain and
keep a whole opera house full wait
ing sooner than call a cab. Prof. Ella
told me he found him one day crouch
ing under the Arcade in Eegent street,
and that he gave this artless explana
tion: "Hackney coaches," he said, "in
London were so expensive!" and this
when he had doubled the prices at the
opera house where he played and was
rolling in money.
THE ANTS TALKED.
How a Naturalist Irove:l They Conversed
with Eh other.
It is becoming the general belief
among naturalists that all living crea
tures have some communication with
each other, at least to the extent of
making their wants, fears, etc., known
to others of their epecics. A writer on
ants recently investigated the matter
as far as those interesting little insects
are concerned. He saw a drove of
ants of a small black variety, which
were apparently moving to new quar
ters, those going in a certain direction
all carrying eggs or sick and helpless
relatives, while those moving in the
opposite direction appeared to have
just deposited their burdens and to be
returning for another load of "house
hold effects."
lhey were probably pretty well
along with their work, judging by
tne leisurely way in which they
would frequently put' their, heads
together, as. though chatting about
their new quarters,, or some other
interesting subject It being n
question in the naturalist's mind
whether they were really talking7 or
not, he hit on the expedient of murder
ing one of their number to see if the
others would run and tell what had
happened. . He says: "Tbe lye-witnesa
es of the murder hastened away and
laid their heads together with everyant
they met, whereupon all would turn
and scamper away. ... No more
ants passed along that path dur'ng tho
aay."

after which the youngsters repaired to
their homes to enjoy the evening with

KITCHEN RUN BY CITY.
t Grenoble, France, nn Association
Serves Good Fcod at Cost.
Housewives who think the coopera
tive kitchen is so far in the future that
it would be xitsui d to look forward to
it for relief from daily drudgery will
be interested to hear that a kitchen with
the same end 'n view as the cooperative
has been, in successful operation for
nearly 50 years, says the Kew York
Press. The Association AKmentaire, of
Grenoble, France, is a purely municipal
affair. The city owns it and supplies
meals at cost in its own restaurant or
delivers them at private homes.
Everything at the Association Ali
mentaire is r.s good as money can buy.
The cooks are as clever as any in France,
which is saying a great deal. The pro
visions are bought in the best markets
and are carefully selected. The serv
ice is excellent. The dining-rooms are
of several grades, according to the fur
nishings and the attendance, so that
nil tastes may be accommodated. One
may dine there for three cents on bread
and soup and bo satisfied, or one may
pay more and have a full course din
ner. In the best rooms, which are mar
ble-floored and decoratod with much
elegance, there are waiters who look for
tips as naturally as though they were
in the swellest of Parisian cafes.
Pure wines, which have been properly
aged, are served at about eight cents a
liter.
There is no financial prJiit to the city
in running this huge restaurant which
serves same 15,000 meals a day. The
charges are based on the cost of the ma
terials used, the employment of help
and the amount, spent in keeping the
utensils, machinery and building in re
pair. CHINESE HAIrt bOAr--
Is Disagreeable to Look At, Bat lias
an Excellent Effect.
In tbe great empire of China you run
across some odd things, writes Mar
gherita. Arlina Hamm in the New York
Times. One of these is what we might
call hair 6oap, and is used for Shampoo
ing purposes. How it is made I never
could find out, but from the mere ap
pearance of the article I should say it
was composed of fine curled hay, oat
meal, wheat husks, grease and a little
borax. It looks for all the world like
some of the oil cakes which dairymen
feed to their cows in winter time. In
the market it is sold by the cake, or to
those who cannot afford the luxury in
small pieces. The cake is round or
elliptical in outline, from an inch to two
inches in thickness, from twelve inches
to two feet in length and from eight to
fifteen inches in width. It must weigh
two or three pounds.
In using it your maid breaks off a
piece about as large as an ordinary
cake of toilet soap. When applied to the
hair it produces a fair lather and the
hay and husk separate and work their
way into the scalp. The rubbing causes
them to polish the scalp as well as the
hair itself. Thes-absequcntrinsingcar-ries
away all "these vegetable ingredi
ents and leaves the hair and scalp in
beautiful condition the former soft
and silky, the latter pink and warm.
While the hair soap is very ugly to look
at and seems altogether ridiculous, yet
if you use it once you are simply
charmed with your new acquisition and
employ it regularly thereafter.

Cream of tartar is expensive and cream of tartar is

writes of Dr. Miles' Heart Cure. "Two years
ago an attack of LaGrlppe left me with a
weak heart. J had ran down in flesh to
mere skin and bone. I could not sleep lying
flown for smothering spells; frequent sharp
darting pains and palpitation caused a con
stant fear of sudden death, nothing could
Induce me to remain away from home over
night. My local physician prescribed Dr.
stiles' Heart Cure and In a few days I was
able to sleep well and tbe pains gradually
lessened, and finally ceased. I reduced the

am now feeling better In every way than I

This fascinating: play, which is to bt

says:
The company which presented tht
farce is an exceptionally good one. Ir
fact it requires excellent people to d
anything with the play, and the com
pany kept the audience in roars ol
laughter.
William A. Lang, furnished a large
share iof amusement. As "Snapper"
the office boy, he astonished peopb
with his agility, and his aptitude for
getting into mischief.
Tbe strength of the show is in its

None of the artists made more of a
hit than Edith and Lilian Thompson.

They sang and quarreled in tbe song

Death of sirs. Nolan.
Mr?. Margaret Nolan died at ber
home on Third street , at 6 o'clock
Christmas morning, and was buried
from the Catholic church at 3 P. M.
Sunday afternoon. . r or more tnan a
year Mrs. Nolan had been an invalid,
patiently awaiting the Snalend, which
came peacefully, her death being like
the closing of a long and well spent
day. She was born in Manitoba, Can
ada, 78 years ago, and with hor hus
band, Richard Nolan, who died Dec.
14th, 1(179, came to The Dalles in 1851.
About a year ago Mrs. Nolan united
with tbe Catholic church, though ha?
always led a consistent Christian life.
She leayes one son, Laurence Nolan,
who was with his mother at tbe time
of his death, to mourn the Joss of a
loving and affectionate mother.
Salad. For a delicious
turkey salad use a pint of turkey meat
Shopped tne and nnmnallslnn, sinew
etc.; the same cf cut up eclcrv. Pour
over French dressing. A piuch of cay
enne improves this and a little lemon
juice. It Ehould be mixed an hour be
fore needed and put in tho icebox.
Cold Potato Salad. If you have
some cold boiled potatoes and will use
them for a salad, you caa slice them
into a bowl, put on plain dressing, add
dice of cold boiled beets, shreds of
celery, a sprinkle of minced parsley
and bits of salt herring, boned and
minced. This is a very substantial
salad, and relished by "hungry" folk.
Cabbage Salad. White cabbage
makes a cheap and g'ood salad. Use
the firm, white heads only; a quarter is
enough for a small, family. Shred very
fine, mix with it some minced boiled
potatoes and cover with the French
dressing two hours before serving. If
the cabbagrc in not tender, shred and
cover with boiling water about fifteen
minutes, drain and dress.
Salad JIAcnDoiXE. When you have
a variety of vegetables, canned or
fresh, take a little of each, some string
Deans, some peas, some asparagus tips;
a boiled carrot and a couple of boiled
potatoes; if to t!ii3 you add celery root,
boiled in salt water and cut into
wheels, you have a pretty maeedoine
salad, which you arrange, dress and
place oa ice two hours before serving.
