Newspaper Page TextTHE OREGON SCOUT, KIMTOlsJ AMOS K. JONKS, The Oregon Scout has as large a circu lation as any three papers in this sec tion of the State, combined, and is nor rcrpondingly valuable as an advertising medium. ' Friday, August 1.7, 188S. Fine at Sr.MMunviM.K. Wo unlock tlio forms (o note that yesterday morn ing'about 2 o'clock a lire broke out in the town of Sunimcrvillc, and destroyed quite a number of the business houses of that city. The fire seems to have originated either in the store of II. Waldcck or the. bank building, as at the time the alarm was given both buildings were on fire and under con siderable headway. All efforts to save the burning buildings and those adja cent were of no avail. The (ire spread rapidly, burning all the buildings on the west side of Main street from I). Sommeroc Rro's store to the drug store of Simon Mclvinzic, comprising the following buildings: Store of II. Wal dcek, Farmers' Mortgage Bank buil ding, two millinery stores, Chattin Bro's. butcher shop and residence, McPoil Bio's hall, one restaurant and Wade Bro's. warehouse. The build ings on the opposite side of the street were badly scorched, and it was hard work to save them. We are unable to state the loss at this time. Campaign Hats. Quite a number of campaign huts are now worn in Un ion, those with the black bands are worn by the democrats and those with light bands by the republicans. Some confusion has been caused by the state ment of a l'ortland paper that the re verse of this arrangement is correct, but wo do not think so. Prom all the information we can get through our exchanges from different States, and from the leading hatters of San Fran Cisco, Chicago and New York, the black band denotes the democratic hat This being the case Thk Scoct now proclaims to all democrats within its jurisdiction that any among you who rctuso to recognize tins authority and act on it, will be excommunicated and excluded from the fold. The- door of the tabernacle will be closed against them, and they will bo left to wander in outer darkness till the end of their earthly career, when in all probability they will be ushered into a tropical climate where there is no tarnl on brim stone. Selah. Looks ukk husiness. The Orotron Gold Mining company of Cornucopia sent in an order this week to II. Dale & Co. for a 12,000 pound ore wagon. li. Dale it Co., at onco telegraphed to Portland and the vehicle is expected to arrive anv dav. This wacon will o be used to haul ore from the mines of the company to their mill. This is an evidence that the Oregon Gold Mining Co. still remain masters of the situa tion and contemplate extensive work yet at Cornucopia. We hope success win crown tneir every ellort. Baker Democrat, Conckut. Mr. J. II. St. Lawrence, the blind musician will once more visit Union for the purpose of giving an on tcrtainment. Since his last visit he lias added a very line mind-reading scries to his entertainment which is truly wonderful and mysterious. He has, also, added a beautiful birama consisting of descriptive, historical and comic scenes. Tins m connection with the concert makes a very pleas ant evening's amusement. Admission 2o cents; children li cents. At Wrights hall, Thursday evening, Aug. 23d. Stahhino AiTJtAY. Mills Andross the livery man at Island City had a few words with a boy in his employ on Saturday last about wages, and the boy wishing to have his argument un derslood with emphasis drew a knife and give Andross a cut in the loft side a few inches in length. The ribs pre vented a dangerous and possibly a fatal wound. 1 he boy was arrested and placed under bonds to the amount of $200 for his appearance before our next grand jury. Ghande Bonde minks. K. P. Plow man, a gentleman who has made a fortune out of the placer mines of Ida ho, was in the city yesterday. Ho is .now managing the gravel mines at tho head of the Grando Hondo river, Un ion county, owned by Senator J. P. Jones, of Nevada. Baker Democrat. Freo Scholarships. Editor Scout: Allow me to say to your many read ers that if any of them contemplate attending college, thero are now three vacant Freo Scholarships from this county to tho State University. This is by far tho best collcgo in tho Stato and it has no superior on the Pacific coast. These scholarships ought to be filled. Until tho last three years, Un ion' county's Scholarships wero con stantly filled and no county showed a better record than ours in the Statu University. Wo have two very bright young men attending that school now, and wo have three more Freo Scholar ships that aro vacant. Our people pay taxes to help support that school and let some more of our ambitious young mon, and young womon, avail themselves of tho excellent advantages which tho school aflbrds. Lot thorn send written applications to the coun ty court which moots Sept. 3rd., and lot us have, our scholarships all fillod again. Now, my young friends, don't neglect this rare opportunity.

Scaled bids for tho supply of thirty cords of wood will he received by the county court. See ad. clsowhoic. The Baker City 1). mocrnt says: "It will be simply impossible for the Baker City base ball" nine to gather their for ces and go to Union." Lightning struck the school house at Payette, 1. T., last week, and set lire to W. A. Conghanver's house which was burned to the ground. As will be seen by notice elsewhere the county school superintendent will hold a public examination of teachers, in this city, commencing Aug. 2'Jth. J. E. Tuttle, of Union, has been ap pointed agent for the Farmer's and Merchant's Fire Insurance Co., of Al bany, Or., for Union and Baker coun ties. A largo invoice of boots and shoes was received this week by Vincent. Drop in and look at them. They are all of the latest style, and will be sold very cheap. A full lino of Winchester repeating and single shot rifles, also an assort ment of belt revolvers to be received at the Cove drug store fiom the east in a few days. We are informed that The Scout did not arrive at the Cove last week, on Friday, as it should have done. We can not tell tho cause of the delay. It was mailed on time. The meeting of tho Union Cemetery Improvement Association has been postponed until Thursday, Aug. 23rd. Members will please take notice and attend the meeting on that dale. Cornucopiaites have great confidence in tho ultimate success of their mines, and believe that another year will bring Pine creek again prominently before the public. We believe so too. The attention of our readers is called to the advertisement elsewhere in this paper, of the St. Francis Academy at Baker City, a boarding and day school for girls. This school is every where recognized as a most excellent one. People in the Southern portion of the county should remember that Jesse Alberson, the Cornucopia mer chant, can supply them with every thing needed. His branch store at Sanger is, also, well stocked. We learn that a fire got Htarted in the woods weht of Sunimcrvillc last Sunday and destroyed a great many cords of wood, besides much valuable timber. Too much care can not bo taken by campers at this time of year. Don't fill the system with quinine, to prevent or cure Fever and Ague. Ayer's Ague Cure is tho specific for this disease, and leaves no poisons to produce dizziness, deafness, headache, or other disordors. The game of baseball which it was announced would take plaeo in this city to-morrow, between tho North Powder and Cove nines, has been in definitely postponed. It seems tho North Powder boys, on account of the busy times, aro unable to get together. Mr. Jos. Yowell, last week, at the Cove, while riding in a wagon, and leading a horse by a ropo was jerked out, and had two ribs broken. He came to town and had himself patched up and is now about as good a man as ho ever was. When grim death con cludes to tackle Joe, he will find he has a tough job on his hands. Samuel Ayles. the cooper, was ar rested Tuesday morning and taken be fore Justice Burleigh, charged with assault with a deadly weapon, on the person of Charles Ilaynes, a fourleen year old boy. Ho was held to answer to tho next grand jury, with bonds fixed at 300, which he furnished. Tho ovidenco showed that Ayles struck the boy over the head with a club, Mr. Chas. Conarty, of High valley left some "Cleveland fifo wheat" at The Scout office this week, which was raised on his place, that is simply im mense, tho stalks measuring nearly six feel in length and tho heads being plump and well tilled. He said ho was told when ho first took up tho place that ho could not raiso wheat there, but ho has proved conclusively to tho contrary. The removal of the postoilico from Mrs. Picrco's on lower Powder to Wel lington's, five miles distant, while meet ing with full accord of tho people down tho river has given room for con siderable growling on tho part of those living up tho river and in tho vicinity of Big creek. Tho way to remedy tho whole business is to open tho road from Pierce's to Kcating's and establish a postofiico at Kcating's. Then disson tion and trouble would cease. Baker Democrat. Mr. A. Levy, our merchant, has been busy all week receiving and un packing imnionso invoices of goods among which is clothing of ovorv im aginable kind for iuon and boys, ladies wear, cloaks, wraps, otc, untitled an immense lot of boots and shoos for mon, womon, boys and girls.

The First Sign Of falling health, whether in tlio form ot Night Sweats and Nervousness, or in a, sense, of General Weariness ami Loss of Appetite, should suggest tho use of Ayor's Sarsaparilla. This preparation is most clTcctivo for giving toao and strength to tho enfeebled system, pro moting tho digestion and assimilation of food, restoring tho nervous forces to their normal condition, and for purify ing, enriching, and vitalizing tho blood. Failing Health. Ten years ngo my health began to fall. I was troubled with a distressing Cough, Night.Swcats, 'Weakness, and Nervous ness. I tried vaiious remedies pre scribed by different physicians', but becuno so weak that I could not go up stairs without stopping to rest. My friomis recommended mo to try Ayer's Sarsaparilla, which I did, and 1 am now ns healthy and strong as ever. Mrs. E. L. Williams, Alexandria, Minn. I have used Ayer'3 Sarsaparilla. in my family, lor Scrofula, and know, if it, is taken faithfully, that it will thoroughly eradicate this terrihlo disease. I havo also prescribed it as a tonic, as well as an alterative, and must say that 1 honestly believe it to bo the best, blood mndiciuu ever compounded. W. F. Fowler, SI. D., D. D. S., Greenville, Teun. Dyspepsia Cured. It would bo impossible for mo to de scribe what I sullered from Indigestion and Headache up to tho timo I began taking Ayer's Saisaparilla. 1 was under tho caro of various physicians, and tried a great, many kinds of medicines, but never obtained moro than temporary re lief. After taking Ayer's Sarsaparilla for a short, timo, my headache disap peared, and my stomach performed its duties moro perfectly. To-day my health is comnletoly restored. Mary Hurley, Springlicld, Slass. I havo been greatly benefited by tho prompt, use of Ayor's Sarsaparilla. It tones and invigorates tho system, regu lates the action of tho digestive ami nssiinilatlvo organs, and vitalizes tho blood. It is. without doubt, tho most reliable blood puriflor yet discovered.
