THE COVE. Hews of the Week La Grande Tries to Show Its Spite. Cove, Or., Juno 11, 1S90. E. P. McDaniol wont to Portland, Monday, on a business trip. Win, Martin is working at his trade, blacksmithing, in La Grande. His family is still in Cove. Miss ICato Burke, lato music teacher at Ascension school, is visiting Prof. Smith's in Baker City. The strawberry crop this year will not bo a full one, the late frost doing considerable injury. The berries are now beginning to ripen. M. B. Rees bought of J. last week, forty-one head yearling, two and three Price paid, $12 per head. Cove was well represented at the Union ratification last Saturday, and all were well pleased with the exer cises, supper, fireworks, - etc. John Martin has secured the neces sary amount of pipe and will bring water onto his residence property. Ho will get about twenty foot fall and will have a fountain. The two local cheese factories arc now receiving about 4,500 pounds of milk, daily. The butter and cheese they turn out aro first grade and are in active demand in Oregon, Washing ton and Idaho.. Mr. U. 1). Churchill, who returned from Paradise valley last week, says the frost made a clear sweep of many graiy fields in Wallowa county, the ground being almost as bare as if a firo had ran over it. Ed. Boswcll, L. W. Corpo and lien. Kogcr quit work on the Hunt railroad construction, Monday. They allege as a reason a reduction, last week, in food, both for themselves and animals. However, they say till lately horses and men have been fed very satisfacto rily. Mark Ellsworth, the original Cove Jo Push and crack rifle shot, passed several days of last week in town with friends and relatives. Mark had to leave the Willamette valley on ac count of lung troubles and is now living at Gen. Stevens' on Clover creek. Needless to say he is regain ing his health. It is said a prominent man of Cove, who saw fit to cast a ballet for La Grande at the recent election, took, as was his wont, a load of butter to La Grande, last week, and could not find sale for it, though always easily dis posed of before. After two ladies came into the store where ho was trying to effect a sale and emphatically refused tq' h ave the butter because it came .ffrorn Cove, ho took the hint and hauled his dairy products homo again. Evidently it was a caso of old dog Tray, the La Granders considered, but it is safo to say he will vote for a town nearer homo next time. Somo think La Grande can not afford to treat Cove without consideration, for our village might try to retaliate. Even if tho machinery trade bo boycotted, as has been montioned by several, and transferred to Island City and Union, La Grando might notice tho difference. dreams, making tho picture brilliant or dark according as the sky above them was cheerful or gloomy. Put who can say that what is called by somo tho night of death is not the dawning of a higher life to caclr and all of those who live on earth. Let us then, as rational men and women, drive from us, as unwotthy of our in tellectuality, that horror which super stition has thrown mound the death bed and calmly resign ourselves to the inexorable law of nature. In the midst of tho cares and toils of this life the great thought that we are not alone, that whatever wo aro and whatever we experience belongs to T Jewell i tno vlr-"w'IJg stream of existence, of cattle nouM k sufficient to sustain us in year olds. ovcr.v tr': anu" S?ive UB courage and consolation under an circumstances.

Onco mor3 we aro brought face to face with that mystery which man calls death. Tho funeral rito is a nat ural sacrament which has .been ob served in somo form by all tho people, even barbarians, from tho earliest pe riod of tho world's history, and wo aro assembled hero to-day in accordanco with an impulse as universal as tho human raco, as enduring as lovo and sympathy, to perform tho last earthly duty toward her who now lies in tho stillness of death before us. To these disconsolate mourners sho was bound by tho strongest ties of kindred and affection, and to many of us sho was known as a neighbor or a friend, and wo shall miss her from our midst. For hor, lifo's fitful dream on earth is over, with its joys and sorrows, its Lopes and disappointments. Sho do rived her being from nature, tho boun tiful mother of us all, and her body re turns to earth's capacious bosom. Sho basked in lifo's sunshine and battled with its storm for a ileeting time, and has passed into tho shadowy vale which separates this breathing world from tho vast boyond. Through all tho bygono generations man has stood beforo tho mysterious veil which goparatcs tho present from tho future, with his feeble torch, aux iotifaly inquiring what form of exist ence if any, shall succeed this earthly life.

Fine -Ufle-ef-Wstchesr GlocksHewelrv, Editor Okkron Scout: At about S o'clock on tho evening of tho -lth inst., our citizens met to gether, headed by Col. James Hutch inson, for the purpose of celebrating tho joyful event of Union's victory over La Grande in retain-' jg the coun ty scat. When the Colonel, as commander-in-chief, came out in a uniform suit able for tho occasion, tho shouts, yells and hurrahs were deafening. Capt. Dave Boveridge, assisted by Lieut. J. E. Carroll and 2nd Lieut. Herman Rothchilds, had collected a lot of bar rels, boxes and slaves for a bonfire. It was a comical sight to see Col. Hutchinson and Capt. Boveridge each rolling a big barrell up the street in advance of the procession which was bringing along a host of small barrels andgkegs. At the word, "Forward," the North Powder Silver Bugle Band played a march and all began to movo slowly and steadily up Main street to the crossing of E street, when the Col. gave the command to halt. An im menso bonfire was then built and an vils placed in position. These being touched off by Lieut. Carroll, woke up the natives of Powder Itiver valley in good shape. Col. Hutchinson lifted high his hand which held his plug hat, and after a few encouraging re marks to tho citizens of North Powder precinct for their untiring labor in helping to retain tho county seat at Union, ho whirled tho old plug hat around his honored head and proposed three cheers for Union, which was re sponded to with a will. Thrco cheers were then given for North Powder, fol lowed by 21 heavy shots from tho anvils. Towards tho close of tho program, his majesty, Col. Hutchinson, was placed upon a vehiclo prepared for tho occasion and drawn by Capt. Bever idgo and his assistants, at a rapid rate, through tho streets, amid the shouts of tho crowd which followed close in tho wake. This ended our celebration which was a grand success in every way. Tho children's Sunday School ser vices at this place last evening were a grand success. More than two hun dred people wero present during tho exercises. Tho receipts for tho even ing amounted to seventeen dollars. Tho committee extend their heartfelt thanks to tho community for their lib eral patronage. It was a shamo tho manner in which somo of tho young men spit tobacco juico on tho church floor. Wo aro onto them and the next time it is repeated their names will bo published to the world, and don't you forget it. Tho people of North Powder will celebrate tho coming Fourth of July. Tho Hornikibrinikis will represent the dagos voting at La Grande, but will be kept under subjection by the 0. N. G's. "Pap." Craig will be represented stand ing outside the ropes. Wo want everybody to como that can, and help us. Tho posters will bo out in duo time. Ill Firm! if Goods! if Prices!
