HAYE, First Door Skinning a Cat! There is an old saving, "there are more ways than one of skinning a cat."' The man who makes plush capes and muffs from feline pelts, has one way. The school-boy, on his gymnastic pole, has another way. Both are right frfm their standpoint. We do not' wish to skin a cat either way in fact don't want to skin one at all, but only to say that when the long catagory of catastrophies and calamities over take you; which they will, sooner or later, I have the Balm of Gilead and can supply all your needs in the way of remedial agencies.

Hawks, . Principal. Will Raise Hogs. Senator Alf. Price- was in town Saturday, and to a query for news from a Press man said he had none to give. Mr. Price,, however, in cidentally remarked that he has sown 260 acres to wheat: that there was no money in raising wheat any more and that henceforth he ex pected to raise hogs. Mr. Price is also one of those who believe that a few acres of ground, well cultivated with production diver sified, beats a wheat ranch "all holler." Six weeks ago I suffered with a very.eevere cold: was almost un able to speak. My friends all ad vixed me to consult a physician. Noticing Chamberlain's Cough Remedy advertised in the St. Paul Valds Zitung I procured a bot tle, and after taking it a short while was entirely well. I now most heartily recommend ' this remedy to anyone suffering with a cold. Win. Keil, 678 Selby Ave., St. Paul, Minn. For sale by P. M. Kirkland, Pioneer Drug Store. For Sale.

James Davis, who resides on Mc Kay creek, gave a dance the other night. This was the first time Mr Davis ever did such . a thing, he says it will be the last. The cause assigned is, too much tangle foot. 'An eastern stockman was in town Saturday looking for stock- hogs and calves. He wanted five carloads of hoes and about 300 head of calves to ship to his large farm near Chicago. He offered 2 cents for stock-hogs. While Mr. Tilley, of Cold Spring was leaving the country en route to a new location, one of his infant children was left to sleep in the wagon. Upon arriving at Umatil la the parents found the child was dead. It was buried at that place. The deputies are busily engaged in writing up the tax roll and will be some days in completing the work.

A young lady, sometime ago, made much the same remark. If these, and other young people would or ganize a literary society, time would- not hang so heavily on their hands. "RIP VAN WINKLE.' Presented at the New Opera House I Saturday Evening, ' KinBey's New Opera House was opened to the public last Saturday evening, by Chas. Kinsey, support ed by amateurs from Helix, in "Rip Van Winkle." All things taken in consideration the play was fairly well rendered. Mr. Kiusey, in the leading role did some good acting. Miss Josie Hasting, of Helix, revealed that Bhi had a broad conception of the character, "Gretshen" which was vejy well sustained throughout. Wl G. Linn, as "Derrick Van Beek- mnn," did splendid work, and the balance of the cast were good. u here was some misunderstand ing in the sale oi reserved seats, some of which were sold, and then resold to others, entailing much trouble and annoyance, when the audience assembled at the opera house in the evening. The house was taxed to its ut most capacity standing room be ing at a premium, bearing out in evidence most strong all that has been said from time to time, that Athena can and will support a commodious opera house.

HOLLIS' TIED HIM TO A HORSE. Put Strings on His Boy and Told Him to Stay There. In Athena, Friday last, quite a spectacle presented itself to a crowd of men and boys, in the alloy-way in the rear of the Press office. : The spectacle, as presented, was a boy apparently about 15 years of ago, securely tied with a rope to a saddle-horse. To questions put to him by those in the crowd, he re mained silent and stoical as an Indian, and paid no attention to the expressions of some, nor to the jeers of others, but treated all and his surroundings with the stolid indifference that o ne sees at times in those who are brow-beaten or cowed. Inquiry elicited the fact that the boy was a runnaway sou of Bill Bannister, who resides on the mountain, east of town. It seems that the lad has penchant for leav ing home, and that this instance is not the first that ho has "vamosed the ranch." The father, learning that ho was in Athena, came down, found him on the street in company with other boys, and taking him to where his horse was tied in tho alley, also tied the boy up, with many admo nitions to not leave until his re turn. The lad was doing as ad monished, but as tho reporter took in the situation in all its entirety, he could not help arriving at the conclusion that the boy was to be "pitied not blamed," and that perhaps in the background of the boy's every day life there were manifold incidents that per fectly justified him in running away from home. MannScott. Elbert A. Mann and Miss Emma Scott were united in marriage, by Rev. I. N. Richardson, at the homo of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. J.W.Scott, near Helix, Wednes day, Nov. 20, 1895. The marriage ceremony was performed at 12 o'clock, noon, in the presence of a few intimate friends of the bride and groom. The young couple took the train for a visit to relatives and friends in the Willemette val ley, after which they will take up residence near Medford. Peturned from Salem. Mr. and Mrs. N. A. Hales, who resided in Athena some three or four years ago, and went from here to Salem, have returned to Uma tilla county, again, and will reside permanently in Adams, where Mr. Hales has many relatives. Mrs. Hales arrived on the train while Mr. Hales drove up from The Dalles, He shipped his horse and buggy to that city, and when he arrived there he procured them and started out ou his long drive. He ..: - glx OkAr ' v. Athena g made the trip in three days. On Friday he covered 53 miles.
