Young Lincoln Hayncs, who was arres ted a few days ago, charged with assisting a prisoner to escape, had a hearing before Judge Sanders and was discharged.

An exchange has discovered that a poor girl has to bo awfully good looking to be pretty, and u rich girl has to be awfully homely to be ugly.

Ail are invited. Quite a curiosity was found near Clayton, Idaho, recently. It Is a pair of ramshorns, one prong of which was imbeded some live or six inches into a dead tree. It was fif teen feet from the ground and from ap pearances must have been there nearly a century. Tho attention of our readers is called to the professional card of Dr. E. Brooks, which appears elsewhere in this paper, Tho doctor is located at Island City, and has a well established reputation as a skill ful physician and surgeon. His prompt attention will be given to all calls. Tho electric llghtcorapany's new50-horse-power engine, recently purchased of Staver A Walker, Portland, hab arrived and has been placed in position. It is a superb piece of mechanism and was admired by thousands of people while on exhibition at tho Portland exposition. It cost the com pany $2,000. Tho Weiser Leader says: "A farmer of Salmon Meadows, in this county, whilo digging a well, struck a vein of crude pe troleum at thirty-live feet from tho surface of the ground. The crude- oil so far ana lyzed, seems capable of being refined into tho choicest article of kerosene oil and Is unlimited in quantity. An exchango says that tho man who went out to milk and sat down on a boulder in tho middle of a pasture and waited for tho cow to back up to him, was tho eldest broth er of tho man who kept store and did not advertise, because ho reasoned that the purchasing public would back up to his place when It wanted something. A boy named Smith mistook a man by tho name of Otto for a deer, whilo hunting on tho McKenzio river, near Eugene, and ahot and killed him, on Wednesday of last week. They were hunting together at tho iimc. This is the same manner in which W. H. Walker, of tho firm of Staver & Wal ter, lost his life recontly. Mr. Edward Holman. of Portland, Is making preparations to erect a crematory there, In tho near future, A great many of Portland's leading physicians are in favor of this method of disposing of tho bodies of the dead, believing it will prevent the spread of contageous diseases and proinoto the hrilth of the city. "Wallowa Signal: Union county's prop erty aggregates, according to her assess ment roll, over five and a half millions of dollars, which inuans that its notual value is not Iom Uwn ten nulJloiw. Her taxable property is ovx two million which means its uutiinl value ubmit live million dollar. This is the prime fault wiili our assessment laws, the under valuation of property. The Athena Republican says: "Tho In lanil Telephone Company, whoso lines now extend to Pendleton, expect to string wires to Union and linker City during the com- ing winter." A warrant has been issued out of the county court, nt the instigation of Adam Crossman, for the arrest of James C. Cluy burn, of La Grande, for threatening to kill The former wishes the said Clayburn to bo placed udoer bonds to keep the peace Crossman had Clayburn ejected from the building formerly owned by the latter, Hence the trouble. The editor of the Worihington Times frees his mind In the following touching appeal: "if you have anything you don't want or can't sell, or something your bogs won't cat. why in thunder don't you bring it to this ofllceand apply it on your sub-t-cription? If you don't read and have no use for the naner send tho stuff to the preacher he comes next. A correspondent of the Annotator, writ ing from the Wallowa bridge, says : " Land hunters seem to bo very plentiful here lately. They come in wagons and on horse back and some on foot with their blankets on their backs. Three of the last named had the cheek to steal a raft used here, and started down the river. All tho luck we wish them Is that they may go down with McGiuty." Wo are informed bv Mr. CP. Hinckley that there is a lino largo black marc up in the mountuins back of William Clark ,s Cabin, which should be looked after by the owner. There Is no perceivable brand, but both hind legs are white. Tl c maro is stone blind and has not had water for some time, as there Is none in that vicinity. She is a fine brood marc, and if any onchaslost such an animal they should look after her at once. Mr. Chas. Lecp, of pine valley, who has been in Spokane Falls for several months past, died at that place last week from tho effects of pneumonia. His father went over after the body and returned to Pino val lev with it last Sunday, where it was in terred by sorrowing relatives and friends. Young Lecp was a most estimable young man and the news of his death will be re ceived with much sadness by all who knew him. The notice we wrote of Prof. J. B. Ma liana's lecture at the court house on Fri day evening was unavoidably crowded out of our last issue. He explained tho con struction and operation of the Single Rail and Saddle Car Railroad Co's system, of which ho is the inventor. Mr. Mnhana claims wonders for the now cystem, and after a careful examination of his models we arc inclined to admit his claims. If it will operate ns ho says, it will certainly revolutionize railroad building. A stock company has been formed in this city for tho purpose of putting tho system to a practical test.
