The council held a special meeting yes terday afternoon for the purpose of receiv ing bids for the construction of water works, Hicbids were opened and considered, but nothing definite will be given in regard to the matter till tonight when another meet ing will be held. Tho whole mattor is now under advisement by the council. Mrs. Edith Fellows and daughter, Mrs. G. U Stewart, of the Cove, wore in the city last Thursday on thoir way to Dayton, Wash., where Mrs Stewart will reside per manently. Mrs. Fellows will remain there some time on a visit. They desired to keep posted on the news of this county and while here called and subscribed for Tim Scout. The eight-year-old son of S. II. Yockoy, of BaKcr City, was dragged to death by a horse last Wednesday evening. It seems the boy was attempting to catch the horse when the rope became entangled on tho boy's arm and tho borso drug him all over the field until exhausted. His body was entirely stripped of clothing, and his back, nock and left arm were broken. A Lostine correspondent of tho Chieftain says: "It is reported that the bodv of Mr. Grossman, the trapper, who has been miss ing since last April, was found a few days ago a short distance from tho mouth of the Wallowa river. It appears that ho bad left his camp and started for tho meadows. In climbing out of Grande Bonde canyon his snow shoes had failed him and befell overabluir, killing hiinselt instantly."

There will be another meeting next Satur day, .1 n no 20th. at 8 o'clock p. m. Tho Wallowa Chieftain says: "A couple of individuals, who' havo been stopping on 1'rairio creek the past few months, sud denly left last week, and about the time of their departure a couple uf horses and a saddle also disuppoared. 8a turd a v morn ing the parties upon whom suspicion rested wore seen beyond Elgin, ami on Sunday last two men interested iu tho property stolen started In pursuit of the thieves. Up to the present writing no returns havo been made." Tho city council of Baker City has ontored into u contract with a company to put in a system of electric II ro alarms, to cost about $1200. This action does not seem to meet tho approval of a number of the heaviest taxpayers who have to foot the bill. Baker scrip is worth about 50 cent on the dollar and tha monthly revenue is much smulier than the expenditure. From all appear ances the city Is fust Hearing bankruptcy, ami we do not blame the taxpayer- f. .r making a ki' k at tin- e.truwu.'.int maun. : in wbieb the city government is carried on. W. S.

Considerable ill feeling exists among a number at the manor in which the case was conducted against tho four young men arrested a few days ago for their deviltry at Telocaset and tiring their pistols into spvrtml 1tntif unil .AtHnir nne mi fir tn pvh, canyon tost Kridav night. Complaint ; .., bv r Yoweii ami warrant ! sworn out in Justice Blakeslee s court for sworn out injustice Blakeslee s court for their arrest. The sheriff, after two days hard work and at an exjtense of nearly $200 to himself and county, succeeded ill bringing them in. They were all placed under bonds to appear for trial on Monday. Most of them were placed m Jail, being un able to turnish the necessary bonds. On Monday, however, it seoms they were all ordered to be turned loose, no trial being held. We understand there were several witnosses here to testify against them. While we do not pretend to say that tho men could have been convicted of any crime or that they were guilty, yet this is a funny way of conducting business. If such business is allowed to be carried on the county will rind itself engaged in a damage suit one of these days. You can not arrest every man and place him in jail without giving him a trial. These young men should have demanded a trial, and If not guilty, let it be proven so. Somebody should surely be responsible for the costs in this matter. Children's Day; A large crowd was in attendance at the Prosbytorian church Sunday evening and wero highly entertained by the many songs and recitations rendered by the children and the excellent choir of that church. It was Children's Day and the exorcises wero mostly devoted to them. The superintend ent and teachers of the Sunday school do servo much praise for the manner in which they had trained the children for this occa sion. They all did well considering their aiics, and the recitations of some of the smaller ones, scarcely old enough to talk, wero especially pleasing to the audience. The church was decorated in line style with overgrcons. Ilowori and a number of birds. The biftldiiig was well illuminated by elec tric lights and presented a very bright and cheerful appearance. Milton's Enterprise. The town of Milton is working hard for a woolen mill there and it is now stated that a gentleman is on tho way from the cast who proposer to take hold of tho enterprise provided the citizens there subscribe $25, 000 in stock which It seems has about been secured. This should bo a reminder to our. citizens that we must wake up and see that such an industry is established here. Mat ters have abijitt assumed a definite shape, and all that is now required is a littlo push and energy. Will our citizens get in and do their part, or will they stand idly by and seo other towns secure the field aiid prosper by their enterprise and push? Wo can and ought to have a woolen mill.

Irfist night in drenms I visited The donr old home again, And wandered for awhile amid Tho forest and the glen. Tho quirrels played among the ilowtrs And trees of leafy June; The wild birds, from the shady bowers. Send forth a cherry tune. The yard in front the cottage door Seemed like a little en. But flowers as fragrant as before Were blossoming again. 1 traversed all the many fields, The scenes of early toil, Where each succeeding harvost ylohls The product f tho soil. Oh woodsiele I all thy Iwaitty eling Around my memory 1 Each message of thy welfare brings Much happiness to ine. The old stone church beside tho wood I visited once more; There in the little pulpit stood The preacher, as of yore. His once brown locks wore snowy whito; His form was somewhat bent; He preached, with his accustomed light, Glad tidings that were sent. Brothers and Sisters, all around, With love and friendship greet; But some familiar forms 1 found Were missing from their seat. Around tho yard my way I wend Mid graves with tlowors dressed, Where many dear departed frionds Are laid away to rest. At length a change seemed passing o'er These visions of the night, And scenes of the Atlantic shore Passed slowly out of sight. "Lu.va Tick." Trfi: Scoirr.l Despair. Written for My soul is groping in the dark; Midst surging waves my found'ring bark Is driftimr on Toward a rough, tempestuous shore. With shoals beneath and rocks before, Witli rudder gone. My anchor has no steady stay; My conipas, that should guide my way, Is broken now. licforo mo looms the rocky reef ; I know of naught to give relief, Or mercy show. The waves that lash the sounding shore Seem ready now to Hood mo o'er In watery grave. The thunder's peal and lightning's Hash, With wind, around my bark now clash, And none to save. The serf now dashes high and (loreo, And chilling blasts my vitals pierce Willi cold intense; But yet a littlo further on 1 strike my mortal powers aro gone, Bereft of sense. II. C. EMKItV.
