Recently, says the'Eaat Oregon- ian,. members of the Junior Order United American Mechanics in Pendleton received notice mailed here anonymously and of which the following is an exact copy: KOLIj JNo.7, - Warning No. 1 . . G. .11 95. We Fidei Defensor, beseech you, a man of reason, to sever all con nections with a certain diabolical order, for your own' sake. If we. Fidei Defensor, can dis cover from this notice, that you will change your influence if not your principles trom that, order, we will make it of great interest to you. But if you do not take . warning, "beware of Section Seven." That will be your penalty. This paper is for your eyes only. By order, of the Utjstos Kotulorum. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. ' The notice had inscribed on it a cross and on the border was pencil ed a heavy mourning border. Members of the order thought the matter serious and think so yet. They allege that "they have been watched on every meeting night and to prove this and satisfy themselves as to who were the per sons watching their members oil a lodge night, they appointed men to watch their spies and it is claimed that they have all the names. But they absolutely 'refuse to divulge them. The order has been organ jzed here several months, but has never taken active part in local elections. It is not an A. P. A. or ganization, as claimed by some, but members assert that they Btand only on the following platform: ' 1. To maintain and promote the interest of America and shield them from the depressing effects of foreign competition. 2. 5 To assist Americans in get ting work. 3. To encourage Americans in business. " ' J' . 4. To establish a sick and fun eral fund. 5. To maintain the public school system of the United States of America, and to prevent sectari an interference therewith, and up hold the reading of the Holy Bible therein. Applicants for membership shall be: ; A white, male penon, born in the United States of North America or under protection of its flag. Of good moral character. A believer in the existence of a Supreme Being as the creator and preserver of the universe. Opposed - to union of church and state. Favorable to free education and the American public echool system. Between 16 and 50 years of age for beneficial membership; over 50 years, honorary membership. Many regard the whole thing as a hoax, and refuse to pay any atten tion to it. But on the other hand, there are very many who look at it seriously. But whether joke or genuine threat, there seems io be no likeli hood of any one being hurt. What "section seven" means, no one knows, and'Custos Rotulrum" is a puzzle to mo3t people. The whole thing is shrouded in mys tery, and if a joke, is certainly a failure, as the warning does not ap pear to have caused any excite ment or fright. 'r Forty Five Cent Wheat. ' This morning a big deal in wheat was reported from Vansycle in the sale of 13,000 bushels of wheat at X 45 cents clear of all warehouse and handling charges. The wheat wa? iut in the warehouse at 22 cents nt fall. This, with the telegraphic report of 11 per bushel for cash wheat in at. Louis, caused a happy feeling among those who will have wheat for sale this fall. Spring wheat is said to be need ing rain very badly. ,T1iq wind .of the past few days has caused a rap id evaporation of the moisture. Much spring wheat, it is feared, has been damaged already so that it cannot be saved even by copious rains. Jast Uregonian. j The New Usury Law. Washington has a new usury law which provides . that the rate of interest on loans, discounts, etc., shall be 7 per cent., but this rate may, by contract between the part ies, be increased at 12 per cent. The legal rates for all warrants shall henceforth be 8 per cent Judgments on written contracts provided for payment of interest until paid at a special rate shall bear interest at that rate: other wise at the rate of 7 per cent. The law provides a somewhat curious penalty for a breach. Where great er interest is contracted for the loan Bhall not be void, but the party who loans the money can only re cover the principal less tho amount of interest contracted for," and the defendant 6hall recover his costs, and in case interest has been paid the judgment can only be for the principal less twice the amount of the interest paid and less the am. ount of all accrued and unpaid in terest. . Sheep Shearing. In Eastern Oregon during the summer season sheep-shearers are in constant demand, and they find employment at good prices. Ac cording to the condition of. the fleece they receive from five to eight cents a head for shearing sheep, and the average of good shearers will range from 90 to 125 head during a working day. which rang es from early light in the morning to twilight in the evening. Good wages are made; but the season does not continue over two or throe months in the year. They general ly divide themselves into crews and elect a foreman. He keeps a tally of the work done, and in the even ing gives to each man an , account of his earnings. These crews con sist of ten or a dozen men each, and they journey from one band to another, taking with them their blankets. Accompanying each crew is a wool-sacker, whose dutv it is to put the fleeces together in bags. A Complete Hardware Establishment. Geo. W. Proebstel, of Weston, has one of the most complete hard ware establishments in Eastern Ore gon, none excepted. Harvest sup- flies, such ns drapers, oils and ax e grease, can be obtained of him cheaper, much cheaper, than any where else, from the mere fact that he carries larger quantities than any other firm. His hardware line is larger than ever and prices are quoted to suit the times. Then he conducts the only lumber yard outside of Pendleton where an ord er of any size can be filled on short notice. He sells rough lumber that is well seasoned and clean for $12 per M; red cedar shingles for $2 per M. and finishing lumber for $25. Proebstel is the man who can fit you out. I have two little girl children who are teething this hot summer weather and are troubled with bowel complaint. I give them Chamberlain's Colic Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and it acts like a charm, I earnestly recommend, it for children with bowel troubles. I was myself taken with a severe attack of bloody flux, with cramps and pains in my stomach, one third of a bottle of this remedy cured me. Within twenty-four hours I was out of bed and doing my house work. Mrs. W. L. Dun agan, Bon-aqua, Hickman Co., Tenn. For gale by Osburn. . . .... , . A Cox Mansfield. E. R. Cox, sr., and Mrs. Alice Mansfield, were united in marriage in Pendleton, by Rev. W, E. Pot wine. The bride and groom are both well known to Press readers, both having residtd in this coun try for a number of years, the bride lately m the Willamette valley. Both have a large circle of friends throughout this community. The Press extends congratulations. back to the druggist from whom he had obtained it of for two more bot tles of the same remedy. When you have a cough or cold give this prepnmtion a trial and like Mr. Scrivcu you will want it when again in need of such a medicine. It is a remedy of great worth and merit. 25 and 50 cent bottles for sale by Oaburn. Dr. Price'J Cream Baking: Powder World's Fair riigltsst Stodal ao4 Diploma. Highest of all in Lcavcrong Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report. ri e-aClwilU H COULD NOT VOTE. : An Incident that Recently Occurred at Corvallis. In its account of the recent elec tion in Corvallis the Times gives an incident that ought . to make every thinking man stop and con sider his way, says the . Albany Democrat. A different scene was when young Adam Bambarger of4 fered to vote at the lower ward and his vote was challenged on the ground that he had served a term in the penitentiary. The question of whether or not he had been par doned out arose, and full five min utes was spent in .examining the law. He rsad tho book himself silently, and those who looked on could not help feel a pang of pity for the man whose own act placed him in a position for a time ex tremely disagreeable. A big crowd stood around, and when it was fin- ally decided that . he was entitled to no vote, Barubarger left the place with celerity. It was an incident that reminded those who saw it that the penitentiary should be shunned, not for the inconvenience of being locked within its dark walla, but for the discredit that comes with freedom. An Army of Crickets. The La Grande Chronicle says: Railroad Commissioner Eddy, who returned from Huntington, Bays that some of the farmers along Burnt river have been visited by a pest and others are fearful lest the invaders shall denude their gardens. About Friday of last week the van guard of an army of crickets, ap peared on the banks of the river, about five miles east of Hunting ton. , They came from the west and were journeying eaBt. On reaching the river the leaders plunged bold ly in and the rank and filefollowai Millions floated down and were drowned, and millions more reach ed the opposite bank and proceeded on in an easterly direction. Every rock and stick in the stream below the point where the encketa took the water for hundreds of yards is Utterly covered with : the injects. Where bridges cross they climb up the posts over the bridge 'and on. I Every gardeu that happens in tho i way is left bare of verdure They follow the corn stalks and eat them an inch or so below the surface. : Umatilla's Wheat King. . In the United States circuit court Friday last the case of C. S. Jack son, receiver of the National bank of Pendleton, vs. James M. Elgin was heard on motion of plaintiff's attorneys, Messrs. Cox, Teal,' Cot ton and Minor, for judgment The banis of the fait was a series of promissory notes given by Elgin to the bank, one dated June 29, 1893, for $7000; one July 20, 1893, for $7650.09; and one December 29, 1893. for $8000.
