A Walla Walla man who deals in
second-hand furnitnre found $520 in
an old lounge which ho was repair
ing. He was honest, bo he sent word
to the man from whom ho purchased
the lounge. It turned out that the
man who had sold the lounge had
hidden the money there when he was
drunk and had forgotten all about it.
Then he had accused his wife of tak
ing it, and the row that ensued caused
the sale of the furniture and broke
up the family. She is now in Port

EASTER SUNDAY.
Oomdensed SpeoialaTo Tha Afstorian.
Milwaukee, March 31. General
manager Miller, of the Chicago, Mil
waukee & St. Paul road, said this
morning that the tronble with their
men is still confined to Chicago.
The Chicago engineer dispatchers
have joined the ranks of the disaf
fected and before their places could
be filled there was some delay in the
matter of messenger trains at the
Chicago terminus.
This is caused by the failure on
the part of the company to get their
engines out on time. About two hun
dred employes of the company have
quit work at Chicago. "We are
setting new engine dispatchers to
supply the places of those who have
stopped!work and all passenger trains
except those of the early morning are
about on time. We are running as
many freight trains as we can take
care of in Chicago."
"St Paul is in the market for mar
ket for freight both at Ohioago and
Milwaukee, on all other divisions of
the road trains running as usual. I
do nat believe there will be any fur
ther trouble."
PROQBESS OF THE STEIEE.
Chicago, March 31. The rumors
that a tie-up of the Chicago, Milwau
kee and St. Paul road was deoided
upon at the meeting held late last
night, have proved true. Engineers,
firemen, switchmen, brakemen and a
number of conductors of that road
have quit work. The strike includes
the employes of all divisions center
ing in Chicago, both freight and pas
sengers. The last passenger train
manned by a brotherhood crew left
the Union depot at 11 o'clock last
night.
At a meeting held last night, at
which fully 700 St. Paul employes at
tended, a motion was made to tic up
the road, and carried without a dis
senting vote. A 6trike was not de
clared by any organization or broth
erhood, at least not formally. The
men 83y it was entirely individual ac
tion. HOPKINS SEXTKKOED.
Cincinnati, March 30. Benj. E.
Hopkins, lata assistant cashier of the
Fidelity national bank, who has been
in jail two months awaiting his sen
tence under conviction for violation
of the national banking law, was
brought into the United States
court this morning. Upon motion of
district attorney Burnett, he was sen
tenced to the penitentiary for seven
years and two months. He nppoared
broken down from illness but did
not manifest any deep emotion on re
ceiving his sentence. When tho
judge was saying it would bo better
for him to be at "Jolumuus during
his illness than at the county
jail becanse he would not have to pay
there for extra attention ho might ro-
quire. ue interrupted, saying that
that disadvantage bad been removed
by the jailor, who had ceased making
extra charges.

PorttiAtsd, Mar. 31. Judge Stearns

This is Easter Sunday tho biggest
festival and most important holyday in
tho Christian year. It is on tho alleged
resurrection of Christ that the whole
Christian religion rests, and that is
commemorated to-day. This year
Easter falls on April 1. nine days
earlier than hist year. The earliest
possible day for Easter is the twenty
second of March and it fell on that
date in 1818 for the last time- in about
two hundred years. One object in
arranging the , calendar moon was
that Easter might never fall on the
same day as tho Jewish Passover.
Last year Easter and Passover were
separated by a single night. The
Jewish festival usually occurs in
Passion Week, the last week in Lent,
or after the. twenty-fifth of April.
On the other hand the Christian fes
tival is never held. before tho twenty
fifth of March or after the twenty-
fifth of April. In 1913 Easter will
fall on tho twenty-second of March
as it did in 1845 and 185G. The lat
est Easter oconrred in 1886, the
twenty-fifth of April, nnd will not
fall on that date again until 1913.

and the only remedy that will relieve
me of them 13 yonxBoschees German
Syrup. I have used it for more than
12 years. It is a constant household
companion with me. Our merohant

tion. and says ho has sold a great
many bottles. It Is a very popular
remedy in this section, livery per
son who has used it speaks in the
highest terms of its merits. I do not
know of a single oase it has not
cured. I first used it in Vermont,
where I lived before coming here. I
advise everyone to use it, as it is cer
tainly the best cough medicine I have
ever known. I have tried nearly all
of them at different times.
Yours respectfully,

An Oregonian reporter is tho cham
pion anthority on eccentric fish. Hero
is what he says:' The old gentleman
from Sanvie's island who Bometime
ago furnished several statements in
regard to tho sturgeon which live in
Sturgeon lake on that island, was in
tha city yesterday, attending church.
Jin Uregonian reporter, who is a
member or the same denomination,
met the old man on the ohuroh house
steps after meeting was out, and was
pained to see that he was aging rap
idly and looked worried nnd care
worn. He said the sturgeon were
getting worse and worse and made
life a burden to him. This spring
they took to coming out into his calf
pasture and enticincr his calves to go
swimming in tho lake, and over a
dozen of them were drowned. Ashort
time since they raced a lot of sheep
belonging to Evording & Farrel into
the lake and devoured thirty spring
lambs. At all events the sheep were
driven into the lako and the lambs
were missing. Some thought dogs
were responsible for the mischief, but
ho knew better. But the last and
worst trick of the sturgeon was
breaking up the Sunday school. A
whole drove of these fish crowded in
to the building where the Sunday
school was being held, and joined in
the exercises, and their attempts at
singing were bo horrible that the chil
dren and teachers were b11 driven
away and tho school broken up, and it
was not considered advisable to at
tempt to hold meetings' any more till
the spring run of Bturgeon had
stopped. "And this is why," said the
old man, "I have to drive clear to
Portland to listen to a stranger
preach."
