SMAMii'ox. It scums that Yamhill
county is not the only place in which
tlmt dreaded ditoase, smallpox, has
showed itself and caused the immedi
ate community to become terrified.
It has developed over on the Smind in
scattering cases and although it is not
likely to become very widespread, it
stands every town, hamlet, and com
munity in hand to adopt at once the
most strict sanitary methods to pre
vent it. It is true that the dis
ease is not so fatal as in earlier times
before its treatment was well under
stood, and deaths from it are quite a
low per cent, yet none of us desire to
tamper with it. See that everything
about your premises is free from all
accumulations that are likely to en
gender disease of any kind, and we
will feel safer and enjoy life the better
for it.
Ix Tltori:u:.(?) Mr. ."Jacob 1 Blooh
hjft for Portland, Sunday. Jake (to
liis sorrow) is a member of qompany
"II," O. N. C!., of La Grande, and at a
recent inspection of the members of

what they were going to do with him
in consequence. Upon his arrival at
La Grande he was met, by the captain
and several members of the e.oiupany
and was marched down to hcamjunr

considerable fun at his expense. .Jake
swears if be gets out of this company

No Aitointmknt. At the opening
of the Idaho Conference charges of
immorality were preferred against Rev.
G. M. Irwin under the heads of dis
honesty, lying and slander, with sev
eral specification under eacli charge.
As 1& was unable to meet the charges
on account, as ho alleged, of inability
to procure witnesses, they were re
ferred to the Presiding Elder for trial
during the year, lie is thus virtually
deprived from the ministry until he
gots a hearing, no appointment being
given him. Poise StateKinan.
To Tin: Faik. Mr. W. L. Reynolds
came down from Cornucopia, Wed
nesday, on his way to the Mechanics'
fair, bringing with him his mineral
cabinet, which ho will place on exhi

samples from the "Red .Jacket" which
was simply immense, showing free
gold all over the rock. Mr. Reynolds,
said it was only a fair sample of his
cabinet, he having some smaller speci
mens much richer. The cabinet will
no doubt attract much attention at
the fair.
