Elsewhere in this issue W. H. Wil
eon, receiver of The Dalles National
bank, publishes a notice requesting
persons having claims against the
bank to prove them at once. There is
no expense attached to making the
proof. All ;bat is required is for the
party having the claim to send it to
the receiver who will make out the
affidavit of proof and forward it to the
claimant. When this is sworn to and
returned to the receiver it will b9

Parties who recently visited Moro
say that is a very lively place at pres
ent. - The town is filled pvery day with
farmers bringing wheat to market, and
with laborers whe are engaged on the
extention of the Columbia Southern.
Geo. W. Johnston was in from Du-
fur today. He says fall crops through
the wheat section are looking splendid
with the exception that in the fields
of late sown grain weeds are growing
too rapidly and in places may necessi
tate the plowing up of fields.
Last ufght Jim and John Waston
tried, to round up the barkeeper ac the
Skibbe hotel and came, out second
best. They next fell into the hands
of the police and had a round with
Recorder Gates this morning, and the
judge he!d the top hand, taxing them
$2 each for their fun.
, first class No. 1 wheat is 45 cents a
bushel here, and buyers give little
encouragement that it will be higher.
They say the docks, elevators and
warehouses at Portland are full, and
no ships chartered to haul wheat
away, therefore the outlook for higher
prices is not good.
Walla Walla appears to be blessed
with more than its share of thieves
and burglars. Monday's Statesman
reports two burglaries one on Saturday
and one on Sunday night. A butcher
shop was burglarized and CI. 40 taken

Aoout zi years ago toe wire or an
immigrant from the East died and was
buried in Sherman county. Eight
years ago the husband returned and
made diligent search for the remains,
but could not find them. Recently
they were uncovered by the wind, but
the name and whereabouts of the man
are unknown, so there will be difficulty
in getting the information to him.
There is a good deal of enterprise
and snap about the town-of Pendleton
It is reaching out in all directions for
trade and in this effort has recently
ventured several thousand dollars in
the improvement of roads and the
building of bridges- A fine bridge is
being erected over the north fork of
the John Day, this to divert the trade
of the Susanville country to Pendle
ton. .
Near Olene, Klamath county, Mod
day afternoon, H. J. O'Brien shot
John Hoffman, the bullett passing
through his jaw and the top part of
his shoulder. Hoffman had been liy
ing on O'Brien's place, and the trouble
was over a settlement of their accounts.
O'Brien was arrested and held to the
circnit court. Mr. Hoffmaa was known
to a good many people in The Dalles,
having spent the winter of 1897-98
here with his nephew, George Keller,
and went with Mr. Keller to Klamath
county.
When Malheur county was set off
from Baker, it assumed a part of the
Baker county debt and about $5000 re
mains unpaid by Malheur. Since the
division a part of the warrants pre
viously issued by Baker haye been de
ciarea to Devoid, ana Malheur wants
the benefit of that decision by a cor
responding reduction of its debt to
Baker. The Baker county court does
not see it in that light, and the matter
is likely to be taken to the courts. It
said, the allawance of Malheur
county's claim would extinguish the
debt.
A WAR OF GREED.
Views of a Man Who Baa Recently Re
turned From tfouth Afrlva.
The following from th ; Portland
Telegram of the 17th:
"The war that England is miking in
South Africa on the Boers is an unjust
one," said David J. Hadley, at the Es
mond last evening. Mr. Hadley is
just back from South Africa, where he
spent four years. His people reside in
Tillamook, where he lormerly lived
Probably no one in Portland is better
informed on South African affairs in
all their phases than he, as he was
over all parts of British South Africa
and the Traosvaal as well.
"The fight," he said "is being waged
in the interest of great companies
that wish to put their compouud sys
tern in force in t;ie mines of the South
African republic. Thfe mines con
trolled by the hig companies in British
territory ere now being worked in this
way. Under the compound system, all
the laborers in a mine are surrounded
by a fence, outside of which they are
not allowed to go. Inside the com
pany has great stores, and at these the
natives are obliged to buy everything
that they need, up to the amount of
the salary due them. One company
has 6000 Kaffirs working for it in this
way, and there are many others.
"In the Transvaal the campanies
tried to force this way of doing busi
ness, but Oom Paul, said 'no. The
workers in the mines of the Transvaal
are free to go and come as they please,
and they can spend their money where
they please.1
The petition of the TJitlanders for
suffrage was a farce. Every one of the
long list of names to that petition was
obtained ' by fraud. The companies
operating the mines in the Transvaal
are Britirh concerns. Their sole de
sire to get suffrage was to force the
compound system on the country and
make it leeal. ' So they took around
these petitions to the Uitlanders, of
whom there are thousands, entirely
dependent on the mines, and demand
ed their signatures. Those who did
not sign got their time the same day.
When they went to other mines for
work they were refused, and so it was
everywhere. They must either sign
or give up all idea of working in the
mines. To show where the sympathy
of the . TJitlanders lies J need only to
cite the fact that 8000 of them have
joined the Boer army.

rHIS CAT LOVED ITS YOUNG.
Kitten Falls Into a. Glaaa Jar and the
Mother Dropa Down Food for It.
Grace, the office cat in a downtown
preserving establishment, recently
gave a display of intelligence that
stamped her a remarkable feline, says
the Philadelphia Becord. About a year
ago, when Grace was but a kitten, sho
wandered into the place and was
adopted by the typewriter. Miss Grace

The glass-incased office Is on the first
floor, the rear of which is used for the
storage of jars and boxes, in which the
products of the place are packed. About
six weeks ago the interesting pet be
came the mamma of three kittens, and
it was a pretty sight for the occupants
of the office to look outand see the fam
ily at play among the boxes.
About a week ago Miss Kelley missed
one of the kittens, and it was noticed
that the mother acted very strangely
for several days. Since then, from
time to time. Miss Kelley has noticed
Grace going to and from a pile of
boxes that contain large jars of a pe
culiar shape, used for exporting pre
serves. Eat hunting was supposed to
be the cause of so many visits, until
recently she was Been taking food to a
box on top of the heap and dropping it
down. Out of curiosity Miss Kelley got
one of the boys to climb to the top, and
then the mystery was explained.
In one of the jars, which are very
large and deep, was the missing kitten.
It is surmised that the kitten fell in and
could not get out, the mother being
unable to assist it on account of the
small opening In the jar. The feeding
of the prisoner is. explained, but how
drinkables were obtained is causing
much conjecturing.

Taking; the Census.
In June cf next year the people of
the United states will be counted for
the twelfth time since the establish
ment of bur government. It will re
quire about fifty thousand enumerators
to take the census, and it will take
one month's time, or by the first of
July, 1900. That means that about
seventy five million 'people must be
recorded in about thirty days, or at the
rate of two and a half million a day.
The rate will be even greater than this
however, for in towns and cities of
eight thousand inhabitants the enu
meration must be completed within
two weeks. The enumerators will not
be permitted to have any assistance in
the work; it must be done by them in
person, except in such sections
of the country as contain a great
many foreigners, where the' em
ployment of 'interpreters will be al
lowed, otherwise it would be next to
impossible to secure the proper 'data.
The enumerators will be paid for the
services in accordance with the
amount of work they are called upon
to do. '

Two Tears In the Penitentiary.
AtO o'clock Tuesday morning Judge
Bradabaw sentenced Joseph Ganteman
to two years in the penitentiary. The
crime for which Ganteman was con
victed was forgery. Last summer he
came here taking orders for monu
ments, and was without funds. He
borrowed $10 of Charles Frank, and
later borrowed v $20 more giv
ing as security a forged check on the
First National bank, explaining
to Mr. Frank thai tho check was
not to be collected until a' certain
monument was set up and received,
when he was to go to the bank with
Mr. Frank, draw the money and repay
what he had borrowed. The check:
proved to be a forgery, and Ganteman
went to Sumpter where, he was en
gaged in mining when arrested last
June.

MRS. ANDERSON'S BABY, f ? '
You couldn't convince Mrs. Anderson
that Cupid ever was as pretty as her
little girl.
Mrs. H. C Anderson is well known in
South Britain, Conn., where she lives.
Shelis very enthusiastic about Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription although no more
so than thousands of other women who
have been simi
larly benefited.
She writes :
"Darin the
first month of the
period of (Testa
tion I could not
keep anything; on
my stomach. I
went to bed the
28th of June and
never got up till
the first
oi AU-
gust. I tried dif
ferent doctors.
but with little benefit. I began to take your
Favorite Prescription ' In November and I had
a nice little baby girl in February following. I
was only in hard-labor about one hour and was
np and dressed on the eighth day. I never had
the doctor with me at all; just the nurse and two
friends. This makes my second child; with the
first one I did not take the ' Favorite Prescrip
tion, and the little one was sick all the time
and lived just about two months. This last baby
is as plump and healthy as any mother could
wish. She is about three weeks old now and is
gaining in flesh every day."
Mothers who suffer undue pain prior to
or succeeding the baby's birth are invited
to consult Dr. R. V. Pierce, by letter, abso
lutely without charge. The great success
which has attended the careful methods
pursued by Dr. Pierce, has caused imita
tors to spring up, who make offers of free
advice, which they are not competent to
give, not being physicians. When you
are invited to "write to a woman," ask
the simple question, " Is this woman a
physician ? " You will find that she is
not, and does not, and dares not claim
to be, a physician. To offer such advice
is deceitful. To receive it is dangerous.
Prospective mothers should send for a
free copy of Dr. Pierce's great i.ooo
page book the " Common Sense Medical
Adviser." A copy in paper-covers will
be sent to any address on receipt of 21
one-cent stamps to pay cost of mailing
only; in cloth-binding 31 stamps. Ad

CALIFORNIA'S BARLEY CROP.
it
Is Larger Than That of Any Other
State Paclfla Coaat Hop aad
Grape Growiaar.
Whale the Pacific coast wine yield
is not up to expectations this year,
there has been a large crop of barley
and a very considerable product of
bops in California, Oregon an'd Wash'
ington. The production of barley in
the United States has increased from
14,000,000 bushels in 1888 and 68,000,000
in 1890 to 90,000,00b this year. The
business of malting kept pace with the
rapid development of brewing, and one
of the results of the enlarged? demand
has been the establishment of many
mailt houses and the discontinuance of
malting by brewers. At the present
time comparatively few brewers malt
their own barley, it being more profit
able to buy of the maltster.
The cemtral and northern counties
of J"?-v York had formerly a monopoly
Df Lc'-.s, but Washington and Oregon
are now in the field. By the census of
1890 Washington ranked second among
the states of the country in the prod
uct of hops, California third and Ore
gon fourth. - In the total amount of its
barley product California ranks not
only at the head of the states, but pro
duces in a year about one-fourth of tihe
barley product of the whole country.
It is estimated that the total hop crop
of Washington state tlhis season will
be between 27,000 and 30,000 bales. The
picking is finished, and much of the
crop has already been sold on the basis
of 10 to 12 cents per pound.
According to the secretary of the
Winemaiers' corporation-of Califor
nia the vintage this year will be one
of tihe smallest m the recent history
of the state. The yield of dry wines
will be in the neighborhood of 8,000,-
000 gallons, as aarainst 27,000,000 gal
lons last year. Sweet wines will show
about one-half the production of a
year ago. . Y. Sun.

Bumarek'i Favorite Spot.
One strange . result of Bismarck's
death has been the stimulus that it has
given to lottery speculation in Vienna.
Never since the terrible catastrophe at
the Ring theater have the offices been
crowded by so many thousands of su
perstitious speculators. The age of the
departed statesman 84 was, of
course, the favorite number, but it soon
became impossible to get even the frac
tion of a ticket. All the factors and
multiples of the number were next
bought up with eager interest, and
there was a run on. every other figure
even remotely connected with the
hero's life. Many serious gamblers de
spise these arithmetical coincidences
and follow the handbooks which assign
numbers fb incidents and character
istics. One old woman entered an of
fice and besought the clerk to tell her
what figures represented "Reichskanz
ler." The compilers of the mystic lists
had omitted this important word.
"However," said the official, "Stag's hill
was Bismarck's favorite spot" it is, in j
fact, his burial place "and Vteg' is 29
a first-class chance." The good lady
planked her hard-earned florin on the
stag, but had no luck. Indeed, the
drawings so far have gone dead against
the believers in signs and omens. Lon

The ordinary furnace-heated house
is a bad place in which to grow plants.
The air seems to have had all the
dampness removed, and that moist
condition so conducive to a good
growth in plants is not found. This
may in a measure be overcome by
means of evaporation, which, while
not supplying in great amount of
moisture, should do something toward
relieving the bad condition of the at
mosphere. Place jars or pans of water
in, around or about the furnace, hang
buckets of water down inside the fur
nace pipes oeiow me registers, or
place them anywhere that rapid evap
oration may be induced. Keep all the
plants in light, airy locations, but
away from drafts. Never consign a
well-grown specimen palm to a corner
of the room, though it may look better
there. Its 1 beautiful appearance will
last a short time only in the dark,

come, but the very best place in the
house, if the temperature can there be
maintained at an even point, is the

The improvements being: made to
Federal street by the city are being;
pushed along: with all possible rapidity
and that streot will soon be open for
gereral travel. The residents of Clay
street are contemplating: askiog'the
city to order the street (Traded and
improved and as the expense will' be
borne by the property owners there
should be no objections raised in the
council. That street, if graded and
improved, would make tbe finest drive
in the city, in fact would become tbe
boulevard of Tbe Dalles, for it passes
through a splendid residence locality,
and its improvement would greatly en

WOULDN'T PAY THE BOUNTY
County Clerk Kelsey Preferred Leaving;
His Office to Buying; a i.lve coyote
Mcalp
Since the Oregon legislature enacted
the scalp bounty law, it has been re
ported, end in fact could be proyed,
that a gooit many coyote scalps have
been brought over from Washington
and listed as having been killed In
Oregon, and in time the state will be
called upon to pay for the same. Hav
ing a knowledge of '.his, Bill Gilmorp,
who resides in Rockland precinct,
thought he would make a practical
test on the Ore-on scalp bounty law,
and brought over a real live Washing
ton coyote, concluding if the authorit
ies would pay for Washington scalps,
tbey would certaiuly pay the bounty
on a live animal, but be met with dis
appointment, although he had enough
fun out of the proceeding to fully re
compense him for1 his trouble. First
he took tbecoyoDte to the clerk's office,
and demanded of Mr. Kelsay the cus
tomary two dollars, insisting if the
bounty was not paid he would leave
the animal. Mr. Kelsay declared he
would not pay for a live coyote, so it
was turned loose and for a time had full
control in the office. All the spec
tators succeeded in getting out the
door, excepting the clerk, and he and
the coyote wera left alone in their
glory. The coyote took up a position
near the door, the only one to the
office, while Kelsay exhausted all his
means of persuasion to induce the
beast to let him past, but to no avail.
It was about dinner time and Clerk
Kelsay had a ravinous appetite, but
did not care to encounter the animal
so he made his ex.it through a side
window. Not being able to make a
deal with the county clerk, Mr. Gil
more concluded that as Senator Mi
chell was instrumental in passing the
bounty law, he would probably help
him out, so he took the animal to Mr.
Micbell's office, and fastening it to the
door, telephoned to the senator that
he wanted to see him. Mr. Michell
left a steaming dinner and hasten
ed to the office to meet a con
federate of Mr. Gilmore's who
demanded that he pay the bounty.
The senator insisted that be was not
in the scalp buying business just now,
but that Recorder Gates would proba
bly take it off the supposed farmer's
hands, and away the confederate went
to the recorder's office. He had found
the right man, but at last the recorder
was out, so the coyote was forced
through a window, and the conspira
tors waited developments. When Mr.
Gates returned he, like the rest, de
clared he would not pay anything for a
llye coyote, but finally compromised by
giving up $1.25 for the animal rather
than have it turned loose in his office.
MrGilmoreis disgussted with Ore
gon laws, and says he will go back to
his own state and adyise his neighbors
that whenever tbey want to take ad
vantage of the Oregon scalp bounty
law to kill the coyotes before they
bring them to market.

NEWS READINGS IN DAWSON.
la Enterprialna- Man Who Mad SSOO
by Reading; to the Miners
: All About the Mala.
Claude Smith tells a novel story
about the way the news of the blowing
up of the Maine was received in Dawson
City. An enterprising Yankee got hold
01 tne nrst copy 01 a newspaper con
taining the account. He made arrange
ments for getting the news abroad in
this businesslike fashion, says the Port
land Oregonian.
Benting a vacant saloon building, be
caused bulletins to be issued giving an
inkling of the news that had been
ceived, most judiciously worded, and
announcing that the full account would
be read ir. public in the evening in the
mammoth one-story log edifice next
the Blue Ruin dive on Brimstone street;
admission, two pennyweights of gold
ranging in value from $1.50 to $1.75.
At the appointed time the miners
gathered to hear the news, and 200 or
more of them tossed their gold dust
into the doorkeeper's scales and crowd
ed inside. The reading was satisfac
tory, if the news was not, and there was
no grumbling about the investment.
No less than $300, and probably much
more, was realized from that idea. The
reader was a liberal sort of chap, and
he read the other "news in the paper
merely as a courtesy to the assembly.
This practice grew as the nation
neared war, and after the war began,
and it is a frequent occurrence for a
public reading of important news to
be given in Dawson at so much per head
for admission. And the cooped-up men
pay for nothing more cheerfully than
for war news. Their liberality in this
matter is sometimes taken advantage
of, and stale stuff palmed off for news,
and even the Dawson City public is dis
criminating in this particular, and is
strvngly disposed to resent the swindle.

BIG LOTTERY Df SPAIN.
Th. Government Will Try to
9 100,000,000 for Proaalnar Xda
by tit Scheme.
Under the auspices of the Spanish
government a great lottery scheme
has been launched in Madrid, the re
ceipt of which; minus the prizes, will
be turned over to the government for
ita most pressing needs. It is thought,
say the New York Times, that by Sep
tember the salaries of civil and mili
tary servants recently suspended can
then be made good. Circulars are be
ing sent out all over Europe, and it is
expected that 500,000,000 pesetas, or
about $100,009,000, will be netted by
the government. There are five capi
tal prizes of 500,000 pesetas each. The
lottery is not new to Spain, but the
Spanish lottery has never been popu
lar in other parts of Europe, investors
preferring to take their chances with
the Dutch or Prussian lotteries. The
Spanish lottery in 1897 brought the
treasury 3,000,000 pesetea. In. the same
year the. Portuguese lottery gained
1,750,000 milrels (nearly $2,000,000).
The lottery is authorized in other
countries of Europe. In Italy last year
the government trained 62,000,000 lire
($12,400,000), showing that the poor
lazzarone was not without his savings.
In Holland the official lotteries gained
$300,000; in Denmark the winning!
amounted to about $500,000 more. But
the Prussian lottery, which is annually
operated under the direct authority
of the state, is the most fular.
There are a number of prizes of 500,
000 marks every year, and in 1897 the
receipts of the treasurer amounted tc
" loo noo.000 marks.

Mrs. Pinkham's Medicine Made
New Woman of Mrs. Kuhn.
a
'. LITTim TO HBS. HHKKAH mo. M91
" Deab Mbb. Piskham I think it it
my dnty to write to you expressing
my sincere gratitude for the wonder
ful relief I have experienced by the use
of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound. I tried different doctors, also
different kinds of medicine. I would
feel better at times, then would bs
as bad as ever.
" For eight years I was a great suf
ferer. I had falling of the womb and
was in such misery at my monthly
periods I could not work but a little
before I would have to lie down. Youx
medicine has made a new woman of me.
I can now work all day and not get
tired. I thank you for what you havs
done for me. I shall always praise
your medicine to all suffering women."
Mrs. E. E. Kuhn, Gkkmano, Ohio.
" I have taken eight bottles of Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
and used two packages of your Sana
tive Wash, also so Jieof the Liver Pills,
and I can say that your remedies will
do all that you claim for them. Before
taking your remedies I was very bad
with womb trouble, was nervous, had
no ambition, could not sleep, and my
food seemed to do me no good. ' Now I
am well, and your medicine has cured
me. I will gladly recommend your med
icine to every one wherever I go."

IRISH BELIEF IN FAIRIES.
The gtorr of a Loat Child Wno WaJ
Found Recently by SmoldnaT
Ont the Sprite.
In a village in the west of Irelaa
few weeks ago a child wandered away
into the country and was lost. Its anx
ious parents, after a weary and unavail
ing search, reported the matter to tne
constable in charge of the village. After
carefully questioning them he told
them that any further search for the
child would be useless without certain
preliminaries, because it was clear to
him that the poor child had been car
ried off by the fairies, according to
their well-known custom. The consta
ble told them to make a fire and burn
in it as much of a certain herb as they
could find. They did so at once. The,
according to his instructions, they went
again in search of the child. He had de
clared that the smoke of the burning
herb would force the fairies to bring
the child back, and, sure enough, on
going over the ground they had previ
ously searched, they found the little
boy asleep beside a stream, says the
New York Sun.
The reputation and authority of that
constable have now increased a hun
dredfold in all the countryside, and
very few householders in those parts
now have the temerity to risk offending
"the good people," as they call the
fairies (much as the Greeks used to call
the furies "the Eumenides," or well-
wishing ones), by omitting to leave out
every night the traditional bowl of milk
and the griddle cake for their benefit,
The constable himself believes his
charm brought the child back. Yet,
like all the Royal Irish constabulary, he
has had to pass a fairly stiff examina
tion in order to be received into the
service.

Met With Encouragement.
The committee in charge of. raising
funds for making a preliminary survey
of the projected railroad up Deschutes
has met with liberal encouragement
considering the limited time thev I
haye devoted to the matter. With
only ten nanjea on the subscription
list tbey have raised a total of (800.
This is certainly evidence that the
property owners of The Dalles are in
earnest in their endeavar to do 'some
thing for the benefit of the city, and
indicates what volume of money will
be available provid 3d the route is
found to be feasible and it is determin
ed to build the road. If the route,
after a preliminary survey is made is
reported to be practicable, there is
little quHstion. but that a quarter of a'
million of stock would be subscribed
by residents of The Dalles and vicinity.
