Oor'Old Reporter on Deck A gala With a
Few Pertinent Remarks Sport Not Well.
Old Sport must make an apology
for long remaining out of the publio
sight. He has had many trials and
tribulations sinoe his last publio ap
peareuoe. Last fall be was as chipper
as a ground squirrel; this spring his
soul is loaded to the guards with grief
and bis heart is not in the reportorial
work. He has a load of sad memories
and bad digestion. His liver is wrong.
A gay widow is (he cause of Old
Sport's troubles. The latter was won,
bauds down, and just when he thought
be was solid the g. w. goes dowu to
Portland and weds a red headed baok
driver. It was too much for one dose
and hardly enough for two.
But Old Sport baa not been idle all
the time. Yesterday he went down to
the Darktown . stables and found
'Honey" Bennett busy with some prom
ising horses Dutch, and a three-year-old
Ally, and last but not least, May M.
E. J. Duffy is the trainer. "Hon" and
Say BeDnett are full partners "Hon"
does all the work and Say keeps full all
the time. A redheaded kid named Boy
Miller is the jock, and tbey say that he
is a good one, too.
Gidd Hatt has a three year-old named
Gladdys in training. It keeps Gid busy
shaving and catting hair to pay expens
es, and when ho gets on the raoe circuit
it will probably require a whole barber
shop, may be more unless he gets
tapped off lucky. A kid known as
"Yak," but whose right name is K. O.
Devoigne, a rather euphonious name for
a jock, is doing the training. He is in
duetriouB and is making a good job of
it. "Yak" has a horse of his own Lan
ky Bob. "Yak" says Bob is a "cracker
jack." Bill MoEinley, the Duran horse, was
under trainiug for a short time. He
was too good a race horse at the wrong
time and his name is now engrossed in
the list of those who will ooutest for
the alfalfa stakes this summer.
Paul Jones is out of "kelter," having
had to undergo an operation recently
that most anybody would objeot to,
and he is eating crass this summer.
Cozy and Penland Buttes are also on
the retired list.
Beu Swaggart sold his flue horse, the
full brother of Suwbuck, to Ed. Bartlett
of SaDdon, B. C, on yesterday. The
horse is a fine looker; so is the mining
stook that Ben got for him.
Low Tillarl's saddle horse, Sinner, is
in good shape, out at the Matlock ranou.
The feed bills are sent in regularly and
the trainiug in every other respect is
mo(t success. ul. He will run Sawbnck
a mutch race on the first day of the
Hoppner meeting May 29ih.
Ben Swiiggart backed Hsheepsheitrer's
horse Hvinust Hawbuck, no Inst Suu
day. The shearers nil btt on ibei
favorite and Sawbnck woj. Swuguart
said that he was well satisfied with the
decision.
Geo. Aiken is looking nfter Swamp
and Holly, witb Tom McKane as jock.
George is an energetic horseman but
bas bad awful poor luck. It may
change and ge t worse, but Sport hopes
not.
Fred Pattnn has Cora J. and Ofleeta.
Some nf tbe boys "josh" Pat about his
horses having crooked legs, but be
comes baok by saying that tbey are just
crooked enough to win.
Jim Jooes is fixing np Ltil iRigga and
everybody knows that .litn will bock bis
favorite. Like Sport, Jim most always
bunks the wrong horse.
Tbe races flie last of this month and
the first of next p omise to be good.
TELEPHONE NEWS.
The Line is Being Rapidly Poshed to the In
teriorWill Probably Reach Monu
ment by Sunday.
The Gazette was oalled up Wednesday
by Frank Thomas, one of tbe construc
tion crew on the telephone line, from
Mabogony ltidge. Frank stated that a
reoent fall of snow had lowered the
temperature considerably and that a big
fire was neccessary to keep from freezing,
but that tbe weather would not interfere
with tbe speedy construction of the line.
'Phones are in at Rhea oreek, Hardmani
Toll Rock and it is thought that the line
will be completed into Monument by
Sunday. Long Creek will be reached at
no distant day. Indeed tbe speedy con
struction of tbis line shows a spirit
wbioh the Gazette is pleased to say is
worth tbe emulation of residents of
towns muoh larger than Heppner, and
who have been wont to oonsider us but
little better than a large Bheep-camp.
HeppDer is getting to tbe front rapidly
and will oontinua to reaoh out for tbe

Nature. The food on your table, and

yet between tbe two stonds the diges
tion, tbe arbiter of growth or decline,
life or death.
We cannot make a diamond; we oan
not moke flesh, blood and bone. No.
But by means of the Shaker Digestive
Cordial we can enable the stomach to
digest tbe food which would otherwise
ferment and poison tbe system. In all
forms of dyspepsia and inoipient con
sumption, with weakness, loss of flesh,
tbin blood, nervous prostration the Cor
dial is the successful remedy. Taken
with food it relieves at once. It nourishes,
and assists nature to nourish. A trial

WELL WORTH BEARING.
AT THE CHRISTIAN CHOUGH.
Rev. Wilbur Har wood's Discourse as Told by
The Dalles Paper. t
From The Dalles Chronicle.
Yesterday at 11 a. m. and 7 :30 p. m. an
unusually large congregation assembled
at tbe First Christian church to bear the
Rev. Dr. Harwood, whose masterly and
well delivered disoourse was an intel
lectual treat to bis attentive and no less
interested listeners.
In the evening every seat was crowded
to tbe doors. After a song by tbe choir,
the dootor, in a few well-chosen re
marks, introduced himself. Tbe doc
tor's father is a West Indian, and his
mother an East Iodiao, a native of Ben
gal, India, both parents afterward mov
ed to Cey'on, where the doctor oame
ioto existenoe. After paasiug through
the primary and normal schools of Cey
lon and Calcutta, be was transferred to
London, England, and completed bis
studies at King's oollege, Cambridge.
He was subsequently ordained in tbe
Anglioan churob and was sent as a mis
sionary to the Niger river in Africa,
where he served two years, tbence to
barbadoes. West Iodias, tbe Fiji islands,
Trinidad. Panama, thence to the United
States, where be connected himself with
the Colored Methodist church, and was
transferred to tbe Puget Sound confer
ence as superintendent of missions.
The dootor is on his way to ihe East,
en route tor South Africa.
T
HIS SPACE is owned by
' T. R. HOWARD, who
is still doing business at the
old stand. His new ad will
appear in next issue
Sinoe the change of time on the
branch travel bas improved very muoh.
There were a number wbo could not
find rooms last night and were com
pelled to sit up till morning, and yet
Heppner bas better botel aooommoda
tions then any town in the country of
its size. The hotels must be reaping a
harvest.
The "apron social" or bazaar at tbe
opera bouse last evening was well at
tended and thoroughly enjoyed. The
receipts netted $71.20, a pretty good aom
for these bard times.

"Are you much interested in charita

"I was," returned the girl in the fur
