'BEWARE OF SECTION SEVEN,'
A Peculiar Warning Received by Lodge
Men in Pendleton.
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

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.

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

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. :

The villains' knife gleamed aloft.

He faltered. :

"but I can give you a letter of in
troduction to th party : who is
