Oregon stock and ; expects to leave for his home in a few , day. Hie stay here has been prolonged , on account of being no market for i horses ami encii hard times for money. i Mr. Rinehart will take threw fine young . tacks back to Oregon, also five of the ! best bred young stallions in Tennessee One is the famous saddle stallion, Bob Hal, Jr., of Marshall county, lie is a model horse, five vears old, with flno form and style, and is closely relnted to Brown Hal, Hal Pointer, Buy Tom and many of the greatest speed horsos of the present day. He also has Uugg C, two years old, raised in Marshall county by McAdains brothers. He is one of tho finest bred colts in Tennesee, leing a cross between Tom Hal, Bay Tom and Battler Brooks. He carried oil' tho blue ribbon at the Marshal countv lair for three successive years, which is surely a great recconuneiidatiou for any colt, He also has Bill Harrison, a fine black, four years old, raised by Harrison Bros, and sold to Jim Knight at three years old for $000. He is a model combination horse, siied by King Fisherman, with a record of 2: 34; his dam was Buelah, by Sun shine, a mare that has carried many a blue ribbon in the saddle ring in this county. He also has Koko Wilkes, a lino young, seal brown, three year old stallion, raised by E. A. Collins, of Milan Tennesee, and sold to Z. T.

He was sired by .Milan Wilkes, he by George Wilkes, the great producer of so much speed; his first dam by Stonewall Denmark, second dam Ebria Lexington. It is concede here that Mr. Kinelnirt has as good a selection of good blooded stock as has ever left tho state. And while Tennessee loses a fine selection of young blooded stock, Oregon may justly feel proud of such valuable addition of blooded stock.

While Frank Snyder, a 11-yenr-old boy, was driving cm across an unoccti piixl field almut ftir miles U-low Milton few days ago, he saw the skull of a human skeleton which had recently been uncovered by the winds blowing the dirt away from it. He reported the discovery to some Milton inople, who immediately went in search of the rel icts, and while hunting for the one the boy had found, they discovered two more that had been unearthed in the same way. The peculiar feature of this ghastly tind is that they were nearly lutlfumtle apart. No signs of murder or foul play are visible upon any parts of the skeletons, so far as has yet lieen ascertained. One of the skulls ami some other parts of the frame were brought to .Milton, and examined by a skilled phy sician, who pronounces it that of a white female of mature age. The bodies were evidently only buried a foot or t wo be neath the surface. Who these unfor tunates were is shrouded in unfathom able mystery, and how long they have lain tho recording angel alone can tell. East Oregonian. Closing Out Sale.

For instance, in tho case of the brands on articles of ood, spices and other ground food products, the things branded or labeled "pure", "strictly pure" or "absolutely pure," arc without exception .the most villainously adulterated.
