FELL FROM A BARN LOFT.
Pete Beeler, a Pioneer, Expire at
' . Weston.
Pete Beeler, for twenty years a
resident of Weston, and well-known
to all the "old-timers" of Umatilla
county, and Eastern Oregon is no
more.
. Of late years Mr. Beeler has been
addicted to the use of alcholic drink,
and like many others, the habit
had made of him a slave. He had
recently been on a protracted spree
and it was this that incidentially
led to his demise.
Saturday morning the old man
was found in his feed stable at
Weston, lying on his face in an un
concious condition, by Geo. Ham
ilton who had rose early - to take j
the morning train. Hamilton sent
for Dr. Stiles, but could do nothing
for the aged suffer, who In a short
time passed beyond the reach of
all human aid.
He was found lying on the barn
floor directly underneath a hole in
the loft, 12 feet from the floor, and
the supposition is that some time
during the night he fell through.
Nn ininripsi wprn dincovered on the
body except a slight Bcalp wound,
not sufficient to cause death, which
undoubtedly resulted from concus
sion of the brain. There was no
fracture of the skull.
The deceased leaves several sons
and daughters, all of whom are
much respected, and have the deep
sympathy of friends in their be
freavment. The funeral occurred
in Weston Sunday last at 1 o'clock.

in a brawl in south-eastern Oregon
recently lacks confirmation. The
m , . v . . 1 ji . - 1 l
jcagie nas encieavorea to arrive at
the facts in the case, but finds no
evidence that leads, us to think the
'report authentic. Mr. Coyle was
seriously injured some months ago
by a caving mine in southern Cali
fornia and at last reports was con
sidered out of danger although at
one time his life was almost des
paired of. by his friends, but for
about a month nothing has been
heard from him by relatives in this
county.
Nobody seems to know just where
the report of his being injured of
killed in a brawl originated and
every presumption leads us to think
that the itory was fabricated out
of whole cloth. Milton Eagle.
Shot In the Thigh.
William Dunsett, whose home is
south of Weston, had a serious mis
hap short time ago, and lies at
his home nursing an ugly wound.
Dunsett had been hunting in ' Lost
valley in the Grand Ronde coun
try, and was coming back to his
home on horseback and leading a
packhorse. At the ford of the Um
atilla the pack horse pulled back,
the rope caught the hammer of his
pistol and the weapon discharged a
hjillet into Dunsett's thigh. There
was vet 10 miles to go before reach
ing home, and sorely wounded, he
urged on his horses, making the
painful ride alone and with great
difficulty
Strength of the Association.
Statistican Youne. of the East
em Oregon and Washington Fire-
man's Association, in his annual
report read in Walla Walla saidi
"From eight towns I find there are
70 fire alarms with a total loss of
$G9,000, and insurance of $85,000.
The towns have five endues, 28
hose carts and wagons, 10 hook and
ladder trucks, and 17,000 feet of
hose."
The association ammended the
rules governing tournaments, and
hereafter no officer or director shall
be allowed to compete as a mem
ber of a team in the races.
New Dryer to be Erected,
Berry Gholson,' who has one of
the most extensive orchards in the
valley, is contemplating tho erec
tion of an extensive fruit dryer of a
capacity of five tons a day. This
has become necccssary because of
the immenso quality of fruit Mr.
Gholson proiuces annually, for he
has forty acres of prunes alone,
every tree which is loadod with
fruit. Mr. McMinn, who found his
, dryer too Btnall, has enlarged it to
a soven-ton per day capacity, and
between these two dryers they will
have all they can do to take care of
this season s fruit. Walla Walla

Heretofore the Snake river has
been a barrier between the squirrel
swarming country to the north and
Walla Walla county, out it is so
no more. The ferrymen and farm
ers in the vicinity of Lyons' ferry
report that the pesky little rodents
are swimming the Snake river by
thousands and as soon as they get
across immediately attack the grow
ing grain. Something must be
done at once or the entire country
will be captured by them . There
is no doubt that they swim across
the river, for the ferrymen gay they
see them.

Your Physical Condition.
Needs attention at this time. If
you are tired, weak and nervous,
it is clear that vour blood is im-
Eure, and without doubt there has
sen too much over-work or strain
on brain or body. The course of
treatment for such a condition is
plain and simple. The blood must
first be punned so that tne nervous
system, and in fact all the organs
will be fed upon pure blood. In
telligent people without number
have testified that the best blood
purifier and nerve tonic is Hood's
Sarsaparilla.
DON'T STOP TOBACCO.
How to Cure Yourself While Using It.
The tobacco habit grows on a
man until his nervous system is
seriously affected, impairing health,
comfort and happiness. To quit
suddenly is too severe a shock to
the system, as tobacco, to an invet
erate user becomes a stimulant
that his system continually craves,
Baco-Curo is a scientific cure for
the tobacco habit, in all its forms,
carefully compounded after the
formula of an eminent Berlin phy
sician who has used it in his pri
vate practice since 1872, without a
failure, purely vegetable and guar
anteed perfectly harmless. You
can use all the tobacco you want,
while taking Baco Curo, it will no
tify you when to stop. We " give a
written guarantee to permanently
cure any case with three boxee,or re
fund the money with 10 per cent,
interest. Baco-Curo is not a sub
stitute, but a scientific cure, that
cures without the aid of the will
Dower and with no inconvenience.
It leaves the system as pure, free
from nicotine as the day you took
your first chew or smoke. Sold by
