"a tii:.ics HIS SKIUTS. Williamson Denies Persecution of Mr. moody. La Grande, Or , Nov. 12 A letter on the Moody question, written by Hon. J. N. Williamson at tlie House of Repre sentatives to Paul Delaney, was pub lislst-d in the Evening Chronide nnd reads as follows : "I am in receipt of yonr kind letter of October 30, containing editorial inclo sure. x am nui(iiineii uiar ivir. :woo(i should undertake to play upon the cred ulity of the good people of Oregon, by posing as a victim of the malice of his ''political enemies,' " 'Political enemies,' presumably, of course, mepns myself, as I am his arch 'political em ny,' having defeited him for renorninfltici. "In this connection, I desire 1 1 remark that I do not know Mrs. Conroy. I never heard of such a woman in my life, until a short time before the grand jury convened that indicted Mr. Moody. I never wrote her a letter in my life, nor received one from her, nor had any com munication with her whatever. I never spoke to Prosecuting Attornev Hall upon the subject in mv life, nor wrote a line to him on the subject, nor received one from him. I am only slightly acquninted with two members of the grand jury that indicted Mr. Moody. I never spoke a word, wrote a line, nor received a letter from a Bingle one of them on the subject. In fact, I was in Crook county when the grand jury convened, attend ing to my personal affairs, and when through there, went directly to The Dalles, bundled my family up and ftarted for Washington, and never heard of the proceedings of the grand jury un til the day after I arrived here. "I have never at any time suggested to, or advised any one, to get up anv prosecution against Mr. Moody, or any other man before the United States grand jury. "Under the circumstances, can it be possib e that Mr. Moody, assisted by h newspaper or two, can make the goon people nt Oregon believe that his trou bles with the United States courts are all brought about by his 'political ene mies,' piesntnab'y headed by myself. No such a thing seems ridiculous and impossible. I will never believe it can be done until I see it done. "The fact of my being indirectly ac cused of persecuting my predecessor, is eullicient cause, I take it, for my making just one brief deduction concerning such a defense, and that is this: Whenever tny own 'political enemies' become so numerous and so powerful as to cause a yand jury of my own citizens from my own native state, af'er hearing my side of the case, to find a true indictment against me for rifling the United States mails and using information gained thereby to rob a defenseless widow, I will then and there throw up the sponge, letire from public life and go back to the ranch. "Thanking you for your kindly inter est in my behalf, I remain, sincerely yours, J. N. Williamson." Famous Letter in Kubbish. Hartford, Conn., Nov. 12. The his toric letter of General Grant, accepting the nomination to the Presidency, and ending with "Let us have peace," has been found among some waste paper iiere by a ecavenger. The letter was addressed to General Joseph It. Haw ley, president of the National Union Republican Committee. After General Hawley went to Washington as Senator, the letter disappeared and was believed to have been lost. Workmen taking waste paper from the cellar of the Comant building to 8?nd to the ragman tossed out a bulky envelope, which was picked up by the man in charge and taken to the ollice. It proved to be the Jong lost epistle, the Inf-t paragraph r f which'reads: j "Peace anil universal prosperity, its ; consequence, with economical adminis-1 tration, will lighten the burden of taxa-! ti.-.n, w hile it constantly reduces the Na- j tional debt. Let us have peace " I The letter is dated May 2 , JsiX j HI IM ALO.(J SNAKI2. liewiNton. Huntington Itoud Seems to be Assured. Spokane, Wash., Nov. 12. M. O. Keed, the Colfax attorney, who ban ben East financing the Lewiston and Owyhee Uai-road, gives assurance that the enterprise to open Eastern Oregon and the Wes'ern border is a go. Mr Reed returned yesterday from New York where he has been for the pastte weeks in the interest of the enterprise He snid today : "We a e receiving b;ds now, and wil start Hctual ork about next March We have sufficient money now to run us for a whole year, the names of the people who are back of us, I cannot give out, but they are men whose standing is such as to assure the success of the road, "The New York Security & Trust Company is to act as trustee, and the bonds will be isued a- the road is com pleted in sections of ten miles each. The bonds, which are to be 30-year 5 per cent bonds, will be issued about the first of the year, but, of course, will not be delivered at that time. "For the present we will give our at tention to the line between Huntington and Lewiston, a distance of 181 miles. The line from Huntington to Alturae, Cal., a distance of 470 miles, and the one from Lewiston to Wenatchee, a distance of 175 miles, will be after con siderations. "We will build the Lewiston-Hunt ington line first. This will take about two years. The route between Hunt ington and Lewiston, will be along the Snake River. We will follow the river all the way. It was estimated by our engineer that there were 700 tons of ore per day tributary to this route. "We will follow the west side of the Snake River, and so will be just across the river from the Seven Devils country. The longest haul from any part of the Seven Devils country will be five or six miles. It will put all the mines in that country on a paying basis. In addition to this, we pass right by the Cornucopia, Iron Dyke and 1 Liiaha districts, opening up many valuable S ctions of the country. Tt;e lumber industry along the route will be another source of revenue. "We will have a fine road, the great est grade being not more than half of 1 per cent. Trie road will be a standard gauge steam road." roc A li JT1AKKKTS. Ileppner Quotations on Staples nought and Sold Here. RKTAIL GROCERY TRICES.

There'll be unalloyed joy for the fat man this summer. He won't have to go around with a wilted collar nnd with perspiration pouring from his face. No more will the irritating1 aiH profanity-provoking "prickly heat"' 'nuke him feel as if he were be in; lowly tortured to death by pien in;; villi cambric needles. Prof. Willis.

It is a big copper y Under, which is filled with ice and salt. These directions accompany each stove: "If in a bedroom and the tempera ture outside is more than 106 degrees, put three pair of blankets on the bed, buck TiO pounds of ice into the stove, oO-p :n 9 nnd ret ire." t. i : ?. oi the ice stove are cautioned to keep overcoats and ear muffs where they can be quickly put on. Don't store in camphor at the bottom of llie. trunk. No moths can live where there is an ice stove. "Don't go into the warm open air when frostbitten by the use of the ice stove. Scrape some snow from the side of the stove nnd rub ears or extremi ties vigorously. "Use the pick, which is sent free with each stove, to break the ice in t ' water pitchers every morning. A ham mer or an iron dumbbell may he used in einergi ncies, but the pick is better. "Don't put mint ami butler in the same compartment in the stove. The mint is ofl;n stronger than the butter, and when the latter is spread on hot bread the flavor is oft''n distasteful, even to those who like julips. "AH bottled goods may he kept In the ice stove. The tubular arrangement in the eylindtr is excellently adapted for keeping bottled goods, even after being opened." When tramps visit a home where the ice stove is in use, instead of being nind to chop wood they can be made to cut the ice into cubes for the stove. In return they should be given their din ner and permitted to cool off in front of the Ktove. Prof. Moore says that an ice tove sufficient to heat a room 15 by 15 can be bought for .f 200, and that $75 worth of ice will keep it going all summer. HE WAS THANKFUL.

He was tattered and torn as he knocked at the side door of a hospitable uptown mansion, and stood ihivvii;; in the cold November blast that r.hr.ns. swept him from his feet. A benevolent looking woman opened the door an' listened with a p-ensive smile to hi. plea for .some ca-st-off clothing, says the Detroit Free Press. "Poor fellow," she. said, in kindly tones; ".stay there and 1 will see what 1 can 13 nd in my husband's wardrobe," and she closed the door in his face. After a longtime she reappeared with a pair of duck trousers, a white vest, anil some canvas shoes. "1 think those will lit you," she said, a.s her eye took his dimensions, "and it is really fortunate you called tin? morning, as I was going to pack them away for next summer." "But I have no ticket," expostulated the object sadly. "Ticket? Oh, vou mean from some charitable association ?" "No, ma'am; but I thoucbt. you ex fiected I was going there to wear these clothes. I have just one favor to ask, madam, if you will jvardon the liberty." "Well?" said the woman in a short tone. "Would you kindly add a fan?"

May it not safely be said that ;i few minutes' thought before speech or action would pre vent most fatal blunders? Many of us are in posiiive bon.btire ipiick iiess to fed, to show our feelings, to retort or to respond. If v arc hurt we must immediately "give our selvs away." as the phrase runs, if not by bitter spe, ch. at hast by look and manner, yet rejection frequent ly brings the keenest rere: for lost dignity, the betrayed set-ret or othtr ill results.

Minn., tells how woman's monthly suffering may be quickly and permanently relieved by Lydia E Pinkham's Vegetable Compound "Dear Mrs. Pinkiiam: I have never before given my endorse ment for any medicine, but Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound has added so much to my life and happiness that I feel like making an exception in this case. For two years every month I would have two days of severe pain and could find no relief, but one day when visiting a friend I run across Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound, she had used it with the best results and advised me to try it. I found that it worked wonders with me ; I now experience no pain and only had to use a few bottles to bring about this wonderful change. I use it occasionally now when I am exceptionally tired or worn out." Miss Alice M. Smith, 804 Third Ave., South Minneapolis, Minn., Chair man Executive Committee Minneapolis Study Club. Beauty and strength in women vanish early in life because of monthly pain or some menstrual irregularity. Many suffer silently and see their best gifts fade away. Lydia 13. Pinkham's Vege table Compound helps women preserve roundness of form and. freshness of face because it makes their entire female organism healthy. It carries women safely through the various natural crises and is the safeguard of woman's health.
