Tho "Hoot Owls" are Still "la If -Baker
City Again Victorious.
Last Snuday tho Sumnierville lse
kill club came up for the purpose of
"doing up" the "Hoot Owls" of this
city. Summerville has h good team and
they have not lost a game this season,
but they had not crossed hats with the
"Hoot Owls" and consequently had not
had many hard games.
The afternoon was quite stormy, but
the game was called at 3 o'clock. Three
of Union's lest players Driver, Martin
and Stewart were absent, and from tho
manner in which our boys struck out
up to the sixth inning it li-egan to look
as though they were not "in it," but in
the sixth inning they legan to find the
ball and made three runs, and in the
seventh four, making the game u tie, 7
to 7. In the eighth neither side made a
score. In the ninth Summervillg again
failed to score, when our boys went to
the hat anil made the winning wore
with no one out, the score being 8 to 7
in favor of the "Hoot Owls."
This is the best aniaU ir game played
in the county this season. The two
nines are pretty evenly matched. Fol
lowing is the score by innings:
Sumnierville 10 3 10 110 07
Union ..0 0 0 0 0 3 1 0 1 S
The North Powder club is also desir
ous of playing a game with our boys,
and will probably come down next Sun
day ; if not, our Iwys will go to Sunimer
ville and play a return game. We are
not inclined to brag on the "Iloot.Owls,"
but have an idea they can "do up" any
amateur club in Union or Baker county.
The Iwys will give a social dance next
Friday evening in order to raise money
to defray the expenses of keeping up the
organization, and we hope our citizens
appreciate their efforts and will help the
boys out.
I.KAOUK G.VMKS.
It was a great surprise to all, but a
fact never the less, that Baker City de
feated the Pendleton club on Saturday
by a score of S to 3. On Sunday Pendle
ton won jby a score of S to 5. This is the
first games won by Baker for some time.
At Walla Walla, La Grande won both
games, the score on Saturday being 5 to
A, and on Sunday 4 to 0. This puts La
Grande in the lead, with Walla Walla
second, Pendleton third and Baker
fourth. La Grande now has a strong
team and it looks very much as though
they would win the penaut.
Desirable For Ladies.
The new Fashion Journals published
by A. McDowell it Co., 4 West llth
Street, New York, aro again on our
table. The superiority of these journals
is abundantly shown on every page.
"La Mode" is the smallest of the three,
and is intended for family use. It has
many styles for children, and is only
$1.50 per year, or 15 cents per copy.
"La Mode de Paris" is an elegant jour
nal, filled with everything of the latest
style in Paris. This is a great favorite
with ladies who wish to keep posted in
the new styles as they come out. "Al
bum des Modes" is also a popular Pari
sian publication, many ladies giving it
the preference. It is replete with such
styles as are patronized by the middle
classes, its designs lieing neat undplain
yet all oi tho richest character. These
three monthly journals claim to give the
earliest fashions, as they aro all printed
in Paris. They contain lessons in prac
tical dressmaking, which are of incom
parable value and easy to understand.
"La Mode do Paris" and tho "Album
des Modes" are each $3.60 per annum,
or 35 cents for a single copy. Samples
can be obtained from the house at single
copy prices if there is any difficulty in
obtaining them from newsdealers.
Trouuleaomo Indians.
Tho Indians who make their regular
annual tour through this and Wallowa
county every fall, are a continual source
of annoyance to settlers and sometimes
they lx-eome quite saucy. A party of
them cam pod in Wallowa county near
the residence of Sam Wade have caused
him considerable trouble, and a fow
days ago attacked him with their fish
spears. Mr. Wade sent for his gun and
would have no doubt mude a fesv "good"
Indians had they not skipped out. A
party of Indians have also made trouble
for a slice) herder in the mountains east
of bore. Thoy have set fire to tho tiin
bor all around bis cabin in order to burn
him out.
It is nbaut time a stop was put to
lotting theso Indians leave their reser
vation every fall and visit this section,
where they are given more right than a
white man in regard to killing gome.
The amount of timber annually de
stroyed by the Indians, from camp fires,
is fcomethiug wondorful. Our valley

A site for the new building 32x100
feet, between the M. E. church and
W. I), Bcidlcman's harness shop on
Main street, has been donated by W. T.
Wright and accepted by the council.
The building will be erected this fall
and will be an ornament to tho citv.
Fire at Tho Dalles.
A terrible lire occurred at the Dalles
on Wednesday of last week, destroying
about a million dollars worth of property.
The burnt district covers an area of
seventeen blocks. The lire originated
in the kitchen of a small boarding house
and with the assistance of a heavy wind
and no available water with which to
subdue the flames, it spread rapidly.
Three more fires have been started in
different parts of the town since, by
incendiaries, hut only one did much
damage. The town is indeed unfortu
nate. We hope to see it rebuilt again
soon. Ono man, John PitzGcrald, died
from the effects of injuries received at
the fire.
Wants his Liberty.
Jasper Leabo, a young man confined
in the county jail awaiting the action of
the grand jury, on a charge of larceny of
a gun or pistol, is very much grieved to
think he should be thus dealt with, lie
has written a long letter to this paper
endeavoring to prove his innocence, but
from the letters shown us by Mr. Usher,
from the nheriffs of other counties where
the young man has been, wo are inclined
to think LuuIkj is in the proper place
and stands a good show of a trip to
Salem. lie has served several months
in jail in Morrow county for different
offenses, and is generally considered a
hard cuso.
Lawn Party.
A lawn party was given at tho resi
dence of Mr. and Mrs. I. N. Sanders last

number of young people were present.

wife aro hospitable people and did all in
their power to make everyone feel at
home. Numerous refreshments wore
sorvod, and tho young people wont homo
delighted with the evening's entertain

A CRAZY LOVER'O DEED.
The Daughter of Jmlge Iaon OKot and
Instantly Killed.
Mr. Ed. E. Cates, of this city, received
a telegram Tuesday morning from
IWooniington, III., stating that Bertha
Isou had Ih'ch shot and killed by one
Chas. E. Ballard, of Saybrook, III. '
The unfortunate girl is a neice of Ed.
Cat os and the oldest daughter of the
lato Judge Ison, of Baker City. She, in
company with her younger sister, was
atteiidim: school at Bloomington, 111.
Tho telegram did not give any of the
particulars, but from an associated press
dispatch of tho 7th inst. we learn the
following in regard to the matter:
Pr. Chas. E. Ballard, of Saybrook, 111.,
and Miss Bertha Ison. of Baker City,
Oregon, and daughter of the late Judge
Ison of that place, were found dead this
morning. Dr. Ballard was a young
physician and ever since he came to this
city has K-en importuning Miss Ison,
who came here with her mother to
attend college, to marry him. She
thought much of him, but begged him
to postpone the event until after her
education was completed. This morn
ing he appeared at the house and had an
interview with Miss Ison in the parlor.
While talking with her he pulled out a
revolver and shot her twice, once
through the head and heart, producing
instant death. The doctor then shot
himself five times, dying in a few min
utes. Tho sad occurrence will be a severe
blow to Mrs. Ison, who only a few
mouths ago lost her husband. She has
the sympathy of many kind friends and
relatives throughout Union and Baker
counties.
Tho remains will be brought to Baker
Citv for interriiient.
CLOSED DOWN.
Tlio Elgin Lumuor Company Ooob Up
tho Flume.
Early Wednesday morning the general
public became aware of the fact that the
Elgin Lumber Co. was badly insolvent.
Justice Burleigh had been kept busy all
of Tuesday night, writing out attach
ments for some of the creditors, and early
Wednesday morning the mill bands and
loggers came pouring into town to see
what could be saved from the wreck,
but soon found out that the managers of
tin-linn had turned all the assets over
to one creditor and had left the small
fish on dry laud. This action on the
part of the mill linn is roundly con
demned by the public and their words of
censure are long and loud against one
man, whose handi-work is plainly
visible in this transaction, and if his
name isn't "Dennis" hereafter, with the
business men of this locality, then we
badly miss our guess. It is a well estab
lished fact that the legitimate way for an
insolvent company to do, is to make an
assignment fortius benefit of all creditors
and then each will get his proportional
share and then there is no causu for
charges of dishonesty as in tho present
case where a linn who was well able to
lose its share of the assets, had every
thing turned over to them, and leave the
poor hard working laborers and other
creditors with no recourse. There was
onu firm who was lucky enough to be
come apprised of the turn affairs were
taking and who secured enough lumber,
the day before the "crash" to make them
safe. Elgin Recorder.

Why Dfo Price's Baking Powder is
Superior to all otherSo
No groat efforts are made by other manufacturers
to procuro and uso pure materials.
It is true that one other company has tho facilities,
but its greed and cupidity induced it in an ovil hour to uso
ammonia, in order to swell its profits. Hence tho Prico
Raking Powder Company stands alono in its fight for a pure
baking powder.
No other article of human food receives greater cam
