SoMPrBB, Or., Dao. 12 If you stam

Ceutral Kastern Oregon they -will ruo,
uaerriogly, io the direction of tbe south
fork of tbe John D ty riverv A oomadio
Oregon eqame's ltioerary is never com
plete without at least oae pilgrimage to
that point before death. If oonveuient,
he goes there to die. Tbe 'steep slopes
of the bald bills in tbtt reeion are strewn
with bones of thousands of his kind.
It he dies elsewhere his spirit visits the
place, anyway. These things, for twenty
years profound puzzles to tbe people of
this section, have been explained only
after ecienoe has taken the matter uoder
uonsideratioD and envolved the truth.
It was left to Prof. Thomas Ooodon, state
geologist for Oregon, and one ot tbe moat
learned and 'ardent paleontologists in
the West, to make the discovery. Hie
hypothesis, based upon paleootological
finds, is at onoe plausible' and weird,
apparently impossible, yet troe. Briefly,
Prof. Ooodou has demonstrated that the
region immediately contagious to tbe
south fork ot tbe Johu Day 'river is horse
heaven. j
It bas long bjen remarked by stock
men of the John Day valley that the
south fork held some weird and wonder
ful attraction for hirses. The fast that
it was a region of scant grass, of steep
bills and of v.nt wastes of metamor
phosed rooks, precluded ' tbe possibility
ot its attraotiug by virtue ot any superi
ority as a grazing ground.; In tbe light
ot the Btootmen'a years of experience
Ibema'ter waj peculiarly inexplicable.
It is the uatural belief of anyone wbo
bai much to do with horses tbat the
oayuse is a oreatare of appetite, whose
rosiest aims and ambitious io uot mount
higher than unlimited oats 'and no har
oess; tbat given free rein he gravitates
inevitably toward tba teed box; aud th t
allowed to roam the prairie tree and un
tram moled, tie arrives ultimately, with a
regQ'arlty almost astonish) ig, ' at tba
best acosssible feediag gro.uuds. The
stoakmen tborooghly uoddrstand, per
haps, the materiiilistio side ot a borsu's
oat ire; but, obviously, hU noarieuoa
bas never led him upon the discovery
tbat there is a spiritual si Je as well.

its source anion 4 the myriad oiuyous
and gullies of Bald Butte, in Orant
county, thirty miles east by south of
Oanyon City, in Eaatem Orenoa. It is
a mountainous country, neither scenic
ally lovely, nor agriculturally possible.
And yet it presents one of tbe most
interesting geological formations known
to tbat absorbing soienoe. For here are
(oui.d paleozoic fossils 11 such abua
lanoe as to have attracted to tbat region
some of the most eminent scientists io
America.
The first and most importaut excava
tions were made by Prof. OoDdjn io 1884
Ilia researched exteuded over a period
it four months, duriog which timeb
lnearthe l fossils dating from the earliest
4ges known to geological scieoce. His
most important find, however, was tbe
fcssil remains of an extiuot variety of
three-toed horse, oaloulatid to have ex
isted suoh a number of years ago as to
e beyond tbe oounti ig.
PaieoDtologicul discoveries in various
parts of tbe world have demonstrated
acceptably tbat the borne is a prehistoric
animal, wbo has underiron peouliar
jbanges since his original inception.
His evolution is traceable through suc
cessive ages simply by his toes. Dating
from bis creation with three, be bas been
tracked through the millions of years of
"xistence as a species simply by bis
-jvolutiouary discardanoe of those mem
bers. In the Neolithic age, utter un
aumbered centuries of life with three,
ae is discovered witb only two. Today,
reduced in length of hair, in strength of
tooth, shorn ot bis sbagginess and fed on
ats, he has but one. Tbe evolution of
ot man, as compared witb the evolution
of tbe horse, presents this peculiar de
itinction; tbat while man bas perfected
id bis fingers and lues, and bas even in
creased in tbe number of tbe la'ter,
luring tbe progress of the ages, tbe
tiorse bas traveled a differeut road, and,
bile not degrading (for tbe latter day
corse is Dearly perfect) be bas lost bis
toes. Whether it is a realzitioo ot this
taddening fact which impels tbe 20tb
jentury oayuse t visit tbe graves of bis
inceetors in the Uoutb Fork region can
oly remain a mutter of conjecture.
That be does, however, is a most as
connding fact.
Pro'. Condon's fostiil horse was an
Kooeoe relic, dep isited some time dur
ing tbe dawn of the txtstiog order of
toings, In tbe earliest tertiary strata.
The bones ot his twj toed successor ot
be Neolithic ag) have a Mo ben found
10 tbe south fork, relict) of a later era,
be middle or Miooene division of tbe
ertiary period. Tii9 relies of these
small, shaggy, two-t ed eq'iiues are also
frfjitiit! found lu tbe Pii icene period
A lUM tertiary depjuitg, which, although
few (bill. on years old, is jnt back of
tbe Q larternary, or mot recent of
period. The Booth Fork region abounds
lo ia foiU of the cretaceous deposits,
vb!cb are tbe old em I knowoto geologioal
icirnoe. Helios of more reoitnt ages are
n ahundaoce well. The ononrrenoa
af these foiisils in the Kouth Fork cooo
try iu suoh correct chronological se
quence, and l fact that they embrace
relic of all the well detiaecj geg, markt
the region as particularly interesting to
paleontologists. It wag this fact wbioh
attracted Prof. Marsh, of Yale, one of
the most eminent scientists io America,
who brought to the region a oorps of
enthusiastic paleontologists, three years
ago, and who made many valuable finds,
daily ohronioled in soienttfi publica
tions in the East. Harvard and Prince
ton have also dispatched expeditions,
tbe results of wbioh have prominent
plaoes in the musiuoH ot those uni
versities. Prof. Condon's tbree-loed
borse is now in Yale. It is one ot the
most valued fossils ever found io tbe
West.
A relic of bos elepbantusoolumbianus,
or Columbia elephant, found io the fossil
deposits of HaDgman's creek, Idaho, is
another paleootological gem taken from
the Northwest. Bos has been articu
lated and is io the Smithsonian Institu
tion at Washington. His height is esti
mated to have been eighteen feet.
A scientific expedition from Harvard
will visit tbe South Fork region in the
spring. Prinoetoa also contemplates
aoother visit.
But that two horses, separated by
millions of years, should have selected
the south fork ot Johu Day river as a
dying ground; and that their toeless
successors should at tbis late age dis
play suob a RRntimeotnl yearning to go
there and shuffle off this mortal coil are
matters marvelous and mysterious. It is
b mnl I wnndor, tbeo, tbat the suggestion
tbat tbe South Fork is borse heaven is
accepted as explaining the profound
phenomena.

A New Cure for 1 hetr Disraies and Ioflrm-

Scientific investigation, supplemented
by experience, bas shown that urinary
diseases are more prevalent and destruc
tive to life, health and happiness than
any other olass known to the medioal
fraternity. They are not oonfioed.to
the low and degraded portions of
humanity, as many suppose but are to
be found am ug the pure of beirt, the
innocent, tbe truly piom and the
wealthy,

parents to children, from generation to
generation. Thousands of people suffer
untold agnny from their ravaging effects,
and meet an early and untimely death,
often ignorant of tbe oause. Though
transmitted innooently, the effects of
these diseases are not the less terrible
It is a sad truth that the itoooent are
often greater snfTers than the guilty.
Of all tbe organs of tbe body few art
more important than those engaged io
the urinary fuoolioDe. Iu perfect health
that great, blessing which so few en-
j y one will soaroely direct a m iment's
thought to these important organs, and
at the first unpleasant symptom good
advloe, suob as may be easily obtained,
ehoa.d be immediately solicited.
Among tbe ohiet and most common
diseases are seminal weakness and ner
vous debility, or loss of nerve power.
Tbousnnds of young and middle aged
men suffer with nervous diseases for
years and tnaoy ignorant ot tbe oause,
when a little timely arlvice would make
life's pathway full of cheer and happi
ness. When the first symptoms of semi
nal weakness manifest themselves tbe
sufferer is noticed to beoome dull aod
morose and is troubled with indigestion,
though tbe appetite may remiio good.
But the strength vanishes aod the
patient grows thin. He becomes indo
lent and debilitated, aud loss of memory
and all vigor of tbe sexual organs may
follow. Io time be may fall into a com
plete state of impotency total loss ot
sexual power. Among its terrible effects
may be mentioned Iojs of unmory, 0 in
fusion of ideas, nervous despoudeooy
and general weakness. It needs no
mirror, it reflects itslf. The pale face,
sunken eye, the doooat 0 Hinteoanoa,
tbe stooping, aged form all serve to
anoouooe tbe victim's troubles. It sel
dom kills ot itself, bat it opens tbe giteg
to other diseases, such as consumption
and diseases of tbe heart. Toe unfor

This affliction may ba tbe result of ex

THE DEATH OF LAWTOX,
Details of the Fall or the Brilliant Araancnn
Ollloer in Advance of HU Troons.
By the Associated Press.
Manila, Deo. 2) -Following are the
particulars regarding the death of Gen
eral Lawtoo:
Qaoeral Liwion left horns Monday
night, having returnel from bis north
ern operations Sunday to lead an ex
peditioo through Mariquina valley,
which bas been the insurgent stronghold
throughout the war. The valley has
several times been invaded, but never
held by Amerioans. Qeneral Qeronimo
was supposed to have there the largest
organized force north of Manila aod
General Otis wished to garrison Mari
quioa.
The night was one of the worst ot tbe
season. Terrific raio had begun and is
still continuing.
Accompanied by bis staff and troop,
I Fourth cavalry, General Liwton set
out at 9 o'olook in advanoe of tbe main
force consisting ot the Eleventh cavalry
and one battalion each ot the Twentieth
and Twenty-seventh infantry, wbioh
started from La Loma at midnight.
With a small escort be led the way
through an almost pathless country, a
distanoe ot 15 miles over hills aod
through cane-break and deep mud, the
borses climbing rooks and sliding down
bills. Before daybreak the oommand
bad reached tbe bead of the valley. Ban
Mateo was attacked at 8 o'olock and a
three hours' fight ensued. Tbis resulted
in but few casualties on tbe American
side opart from tbe death of General
Law ton, but the attack was dillioult be
cause ot the natural defense of tbe town.
General Lawton was walking along
the firing line within 300 yards of a small
sharpshooter's trench, conspionous in a
big white helmet be always wore, aod a
light yellow rain coat. He was also
easily distinguishable beoanse of bis
commanding statue. Tbe sharpshooters
directed several olose shots which
clipped the grass near by. His staff
ofiloer oalled General Lawton's attention
to tbe clanger he was in, but be only
laughed witb bis usual contempt for
bullets. "
Suddenly he exclaimed ! "I am shot."
olioohed bis hands in desperate effort to
stand erect, and fell into the arms of a
field for surgeons, wbo dashed np imme
diately, but their efforts were uselese.
The body was taken to a dump of
bushes and laid on a str toiler, tbe
familiar white helmet covering the face
of tbe dead general. Almost at this
moment the cheers of tbe American
troops rushing into Sao Mateo were
miogled with rills volleys.
After tbe fight six stalwart cavalry -men
forded the river to the town, carry
ing the litter on their shoulders, the staff
preceding with the oolors and a cavalry
fsoort following. The troops filed bare
beaded through the building where tbe
body was laid, Bnd many a tear fell from
tbe eyes ot the men wbo bad long fol
lowed the intrepid Lawton. The entire
command was stricken witb grief, as
though each man bad suffered s personal
loss. Owing to tbe condition of the
country, wbioh is impassable, so far as
vebioled are oouoerned, the remains
oould not be brought to Manila today.
Mrs. Lawton and ohildreo are living iD
tbe government residence formerly occu
pied by a Spanish general.

O WIGHT U MOODY DEAD.
The Famous Evangelist Died at His Home la
Massarhnsetts, December 22d.
East Nobthfibld, Mass., Dac. 22.
Dwight L Moody, the famous evangel
ist, died at the family residence today.
It was not expeoted until yesterday by
tbe members of Moody's family and bia
intimate olrole of friends that death
would be the result of bis illness. Tba
oause ot death was a general breaking
down due to overwork. Moody's heart
bad been weak tor a long time, and tbe
exertions put forth io connection witb
tbe meetings lo the West last month
b"ougbt 00 a collapse from wbioh be
failed to rally.
This week tbe patieot showed a Bteady
gain until yesterday, when be showed
symptoms ot nervousness, nooompaoied
by weakness, which caused bis family
muoh anxiety. Tbis morning the weak
ness continued, and at 8 o'clock Mr.
Moody oalled his wife and children, tell
ing them that the end was not far off.
The family remained olose by the bed
side all the forenoon. The evangelist
was almost free from pain and occasion
ally talked with apparent ease. About tbe
last words be was beard to utter were:
"I have always been ao ambitious
man, oot to lay up wealth, but to find
work to do."
Just before 12 o'clock, the watoben
saw that tbe end was approaohing, and
at exactly noon tbe great preaoher
passed away. .
