The Gazette. Thursday, Dec. 29, 1898. Now is the time to renew your subscription to the Gazette. On December 21st congresa ad journed until January 4tb, and the representatives and senators de serted the capital that night to find holiday amusements outside of Washington. The senate committee on foreign relations and the house committee oc territories are both at work upon bills providing a government for Hawaii, and present expectation is that the bills will be repoited early in January. New Yeae's day the railroad time schedule on the main line changes to a day run to Portland, and it seems that a like change is inevitable on the Heppner branch. Until then we will live in anxious hopes that this good fortune is in 6tore for us. Tbe Portland Telegram issues an exceedingly attractive Christ mas number. Its illustrations of the beautiful city will attract wide spread attention. This paper is t&it gaining popular favor, and its improvement means a big increase io its subsciptioo list. Judge T. U. Beaseley, of Fay etteviile, Ga., is a representative intelligent Southerner. He is now visiting Washington, and, among other interesting things, said: "President McKinley has made himself so solid in the South, especially in Georgia and Alabama, that in the event of his renomina tion in 1900 he will get thousands of democratic votes in those states. Ilia broad-gauged sentiments and generosity have captured our peo ple." Senatob Thukston, of Nebras ka, is one of the most pronounced expansionists in congress. He said, speaking of the various ob jections to our taking the Philip pines: "I am satisfied to trust their future to the good sense of the American people. If they become a but den rather than a blessing, the same patriotio spirit which demanded their surrender by Spain would then set them up in independence or otherwise dis pose of them, without sacrificing the liberties of other peoples and without doing discredit to the American name. Chairman IlErBURN, of the house committee on interstate and foreign commerce, anticipating early action on the Nicaragua canal bill, has announced that the committee will grant hearings either for or against the Nicaragua oanal. The agents of the Panama Canal Company, now in Washing ton, are prepared, it is believed, to spend n lot of money to defeat or prevent Nicaragua canal legis lation, but the friends of the canal are also in Washington in force, including a delegation from the chamber of commerce of Shu Francisco, and they' will work as thy have never worked before, because they believe success is in sight.

The Utter part of last week a tall, illm follow, wearing a cap, pulled down over a pair of small Ifray eyes, appeared on our streets, riding a flue bay home with a bald face, and from then until Monday noon made pretty thorough canvas of the town trying to dispose of hia rig at a very unreasonable price, which at once excited the suspicion of those approached. In the mean time Marshal Thornton received telephone com munication from Waitsburg, Walla Walla, Day ton, Wash., and Lewlston, Idaho, describing the man and urging his arrest as a horse thief, and a thoroughly bad man. Owing to technicalities. delay in his arrest gave the fellow a change to ride his horse out of town, going In the dlrec. lion of Butter creek. Matters adjusted, Consta ble Oray, armed with a warrant, etc , took his trail that afternoon and at the end of an 80 mile ride caught his man the next morning. The evening before he had sold his rig to Mr. Wat. tenbergor, whom the constable had seen in the meantime, and, anxious for the return of his money, ho continued with Mr, Gray until they fouud their man, who readily returned the money, taking back his horse, which he rode back to town. Whllo hore the fellow was thoroughly reck less, and Sunday night, while drunk, preclpl. tated a row which resulted disastrously to him! Arriving here with some money, he purchased a watch, chain and charm for fid, and later in the day borrowed $10 nn the same, never re turning to roclaim It. He also secured his horse from the livery stablo by pretending to exercise It, when he departed without settling. He Is now In the county Jail and will be taken back to Washington tomorrow by an officer who will come In on the morning's train. He gave the name of Frank Wilson, while the warrant lor arrest calls for Bub Roberts. He takes his arrest easy, denying everything. Since the above was set Deputy-HhertlT Alli son has arrived and identified the clmlnal as a very desperate man, and tomorrow morning officers will arrive from both Walla Walla and Dayton for possession of the much-wanted man, The Lewlston officer "first come will be first served." THE PUBLIC CHKISTMES TKEE. The Opera Hoase Crowded and Everybody Happy. The tffortg of tbe ladies, aided by con tributions from tbe business men, were crowned witb glory, as tbe opera bouse was completely jammed on Christinas eve. Everybody seemed to enter into the spirit of tbe occasion. Tbe three trees were well set and tastily decorated, bat for oonvenieooe tbe majority of tbe presents were distributed from tables. Rev. Shelley addressed the assemblage witb a few appropriate remarks. Mrs. H. Bartholomew and Miss Julia Hart played a lively duet, acd Mise Welch favored tbe listeners with a vocal sola Messrs. George Conser and Herb Bar tholomew assumed their "peroh" and tbe fun began. The tiue-baired sooiety gents were (he seivants of the "kids" and Santa Chus, aud the way they were kept jumping shout delivering Christmas gifts was a ouution. Every ear in tbe assemblage prioked op in aoxious ex pectation, and on,y those without friends were overlooked. Besides the hundreds f pleBeing little Christmas things, many costly and beautiful presents fell to tbe lot of loved ones. Tbe two bours con sumed in tbe distribution were, witb tbe little ones, the happiest of tbe year, and when next Christmas comes Old Santa Clause will extend an invitation to the same little people to gather at tbe same place and they will be there. Messrs. Conser and Bartholomew, tbe two oriers, it is claimed, were voiceless at tbe con clusion of tbeir task, but we are told confidentially tbat George, as he wis homeward bound, was singing with glee that little ditty, so familiar to tbe chil dren "This Is the day they give babies away." LEXINGTON'S CELEBRATION. A ChlHtnms Eve spent in the Tuiving Little Berg. Mr. Charles Barnett reports a delightful Christmas eve at Lexington. Penland's hall was tastily arranged and the tree furnished for the occasion loaded down with treasures for the little ones. The festivities were Introduced with a pleasing musical and literary program, after which came thegivingout of the gener ous supply of toys, candies, nuts and oranges. Prof. Stanard and estimable wife were among the prime movers In the happy event and were untiring in their elforts to make it a success for the children. Not only were the children attending the tree remembered, but the little ones t home were not forgotten, as packages were sent to them. Many laughable incloents contributed to the good cheer, chief of which was the presentation of a pipe, match and tobacco to Dave Porter, a bachelor's solace, provoking a roar of laughter above the din of which arose Dave's Inimitable applause. John McMillan was the recipient of a cup and saucer of suitable proportions, with a package of his favorite braud of coffee. The annual bachelors' banquet, held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. N. A. Leach, at Lexing ton, was a notable event of the holiday season. Mrs. Leach's commiseration for their unhappy lot prompts her efforts to contribute a bit of sunshine into their cheerless lives and furnishes them with a spread that prompts resolutions for future reformation. A very enjoyable hop was given by Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Metier, in their spacious parlors, to the young folks of Lexington, Monday night, which was thoroughly enjoyed. A dance will be given in Penlaud's hall to morrow (Friday) night. On Saturday evening, January 7th, an open Installation of Lexington Assembly No, 8H, United Artisans, will be held, and invitations are being distributed to friends by members, Two Pointed Questions Answered.

If both articles are brought promin ently before tbe publio both are certain to be tried and tbe publio will very quickly pass judgement ou them and use only tbe better one. This explains tbe large sale on Chora berlain'i Cough Remedy. Tbe people have been using it for years and buve found that it oan always be depended upon. They may occasionally take up witb some fashionable novelty put forth witb exaggerated claims but are certain to return to the one remedy that tbey know to be reliable, aid for congha, Cilds and croup there is nothing equal to Cbamberlain's Cough Remedy.

Dear Sir: Complying with your request, 1 write these few lines that lh) world may know that we, the people of Ione, still live, move aud have our being. We landed in this beautiful and promising little city at 10:30 o'clock on last Friday night aud find that a great change has, taken place in the appearance of this cltv since our last visit, only a few weeks ago, and had it not been for the old landmarks and tbe few familiar faces among the many strange ones we could hardly have been persuaded that our train conductor had not put us off at the wrong place. A great many new buildings have been erected arising as by magic from the ground. Some of them, I am told, are of Immense proportions, covering several "Alters." On Xmas eve the people of lone gathered themselves together la the opera house. They were not so "numerous as the sands of the sea shore," but it was a great gathering and they made merry. Two trees were beautifully dec orated and were well loaded with valuable presents. A well prepared program was very creditably rendered before the distribution oithe presents. Hauia Claus appeared on the scene with his large knapsack well hlled with candy aud nuta for the small children. The writer was coldly passed by. On Christmas morning Ione turned out what was first thought to be a '-freak" a green man. Now, some may think that this is one of the most common things, but this man was painted, as waa learned later. He had been Indulging too freely the night before in the spirits fer ment!, and while sleeping in a chair some mis chievous body took the pains to paint this old man's hands, face and hair with a bright green paint, aud of a kind that did not yield to soap and water. He found great difficulty in remov ing it. By advice he took an oil bafh, then vig orously applied soap aud water with success, The frlendB of the painted party have a "warm" color in Btore for the paiutcrs, when they are located. The light-footed celebrated the holiday last night with a grand ball at the opera house. Qood music was furnished by local musicians, good order was kept by the good floor managers, a good lunch was prepared by the good ladies of the city and a general good time Was had by all who attended. Ione has two newspapers, the Post and the Herald. It seems that the former has met with a little opposition, but tbe Iouites are becoming reconciled and are offering its manager more encouragement since they see he has come to stay and is acting the geutleman, that he is. He has been falsely accused of some unreason able things and they are beginning to see their mistake and are showing a disposition to sup port his paper. Ione, we think,, will soon be incorporated. The promoters of the Incorporation are meeting with some opposition, but it is hoped that their opposers will soon become more enlightened ou the subject aud withdraw their objections. Birds are singing, sheepbells ringing, All the signs of spring are here. We are seeming to be dreaming, Aud forget the time of year. Yours truly, "Domisol." Yellow Jaundice Cured.

SCOTT 4 BOWNE, Chemists, New York, THE NEW LE ROI COMPANY. The Slock Issued Was Over-Subscribed in London. Spokesman Review. Copies of the prospectus of the new lie Bol company lately floated in London by the British America Corporation have been received In Toronto, and the World of that city says that the entire issue of stock was oversubscribed, and the shares ore now quoted in London at a premium of about 12 per cent. The World Is just in receipt of a copy of the now company's prospectus, which sets out some interesting statements. In the first place Lord DuIIerin, Lord Loch, Whlttaker Wright and H. H. Andrew, of Sheffield, are put down as the chief directors. The 0 shares were offered for subscription on the following basis: 1 per share on applica tion, 2 per share on allotment and 2 per share one mouth after allotment. Several expert's reports are quoted to show that the ore bodies maintain there average value aud at the same time increase in width as greater depths are attained. Between the 700 and 800 foot level the ore body is 40 feet wide, and the ore runs (!, or $30, to the ton. Mr. Rathbone, one expert, says that on tbe basis of the present daily output the mine will yseld annually 120,000 tons of ore. He estimate the entire cost of msning, freight and treatment at 3, or 15, per ton, and shows that the Le Rol Is producing a net profit of 360,000, or 11,800,000, per year. In other words, the property, accord ing to the prospectus, will turn out a net profit of 25 ner cent per annum on the total capital ization. The London (England) Mining Journal, com menting on the flotation, notes that the British public has oversubscribed the undertaking and, admits that the record of the old company is excellent, but takes exetlon to the small amount of capital (viz., 50,000) that Is set aside for a working reserve.
