The Press has recently added a large amount of printing material to its me chanical department, and better able than ever to give prompt attention to all orders in the printing and publishing line.

There are two reasonable things which everybody should do, take good care of one's health ; and if lost, regain it quickly, and to this everybody will agree. And there are a great multitude of people who are agreed that for both purposes Sim mons Liver Regulator is the best helper. "Troubled with torpid liver and nothing rives relief so quick like Simmons Liver Regulator." R. R. Strange, Lake City, Fla. RUMORS OF A CHANGE. It Is Reported That the O. R. & N. Co. May Move Its Offices. Thursday's Walla Walla Dnion says: "There is again a rnmor of a change that will likely occur in the station of employes of the O. R. & N. company that are on this division. The rnmor this time is to the effect that the superintendent will be transferred from Pendleton to this city in order that be may work to greater advantage in handling his division. "It is certain that this would be a most advantageous change fcr the superin tendent and those employes who are naturally stationed with him. It would bring the bridge and building carpenters with their families, and it is very certain that the dispatchers would be given their old quarters here. In all, it would bring a large number of well salaried men to this city." Mr. J. A. Borie, general traffic agent for the O. R. A N. company, when inter viewed in regard to tbe above, said that be had heard nothing of such an intended ceange. He did not think that there was anything in the report, as he could not see that there waa anything to be gained by a general change, "Tbe buildings are all in Pendleton," he said, "and it does not seem reasonable to sup pose that the compan, at this time, would go !to the expense of removing them or building new ones. They might do such a thing as change the headquarters of the division superintendent himself, as he could be s ationed at Statbuck, for in stance, and still be central in bis terri tory. . From Georgia. Through the kindness of E. L. Barnett, the Press is given the following extract from a letter regarding weather, crops and harvesting in Georgia : "We are having cool (for this country) and lots of rain, too much. The cotton is shedding badly, and what promised to be the best crop here for years, may turn out a poor yield, and the land won't recover in years. The rains were very heavy and the soil here washes very easy, seems to dissolve like sugar. That is the principle objection I have to the country. Of course it's hot, bnt not so much so as I expected by the way it started out in April. As for the crops, corn promises a big yield on upland, bottoms are too wet, oats, as far as lean learn, range from 3 to 12 bushels per acre. Mine wont about 4 bushels, and I had the threshing crew over night, to thresh 40 bushels, one horse, three yoke of oxen, six niggers and a white man. They thresh here for 1-12 of the grain, ' They run a very inex pensive outfit. A little six-horse engine, a two wheeled separator, and usually five niggers, who get about $7 a month, but there is so little grain raised it don't pay. Very little wheat is raised, wevil is too bad, for hay they depend on corn fodder, when the corn is hardened they strip the leaves off, hang them on the stalk to dry. I imagine it a never ending job, but suppose I'll get used to it, like every thing else. Tbe fruit is a failure, except berries, even tbey were not much ac count, grapes may be all right, but think they are rotting badly now. I haven't seen a cherry or plum, except a few wild ones, or a tame strawberry, but tomatoes and watermelons grow everywhere, in the timber or on the roads, you see them growing volunteer." Umatilla Crops. John Vert, of Pendleton, who has been over nearly all of the wheat acreage of Umatilla county, gave tbe Tribune tbe followinginformation : In tbe section from Thorn Hollow np to north of Caynse the grain has been slightly damaged ; not to exceed probably 5 per cent. In that section of country from Adams to Helix, in a diagonal line, probably about three miles wide, tbe grain is not damaged over 10 to 15 per cent. - The grain in the belt north and west of Pendleton is considerably damaged. Some of it won't pass as No 2, and the remainder is damaged perhaps 50 per cent. Some of this will not be market able. Taking the crop of the whole county, including that which is entirely damaged, and that which is but slightly damaged, and that which is slightly injured, an estimate, both of yield and quality, is that it has been damaged to the extent of one-tbird. A Distressing Accident. The Pendleton Tribune tells of a fright ful accident which befell a little child, as follows: On Friday of last week Mrs. Ben Messinger was driving a mower on a fafm near Moro, when her little daugh ter, aged only 2 years, started to come toward her. Despite tbe warning of her mother to keep away, the child ran in front of the sickle before the team could be stopped and one of its legs was severed from its body, the leg being cut in two in two places. Dr. Smith was at once called and amputated the injured limb just be low tbe knee. The little sufferer, who is a bright and attractive baby, is getting along as well as could be expected, rod is in a fair way to recover from tbe fright ful accident which befel her. The Hendley Contract Milton Eagle : Tbe county court has evidently made a gross error in tbe matter of appointing Fred Hendley as special deputy recorder and contracting to pay him $5000 for indexing the records. In the first place the price set for the work is excessive and can be done for much less, and in the next place the board have exceeded their authority by appointing a deputy without consulting Mr. Bickers, the recorder, who should have a v ice in the appointt ent of a de puty for that department. It is under stood Mr. Bickers will carry the csbs to the courts, and if this is true, it is to be hoped his protest will be sustained and the taxpayers caved this unnecessary ex pense. First '98 Wheat. Tbe first load of '96 wheat to reach Pendleton was brongbt into Byers' mill Friday morning from the ranch of Elmer Hansen who lives np towards Adam. Tbe quality of this wheat proved a a agreeable surprise to Mr. Byers It was nice and plump, averaging bS4 pounds to the bushel and brought 40 cento. The wheat was sown last fall. East Oregon ian - Horse and Bicycle. AJohn E. Staver, the bicyclist, has besn - . v .i i .i 1, i. ujatuiiou k;amev tun wru-inown pacer Chebalis (2:07) for $00 a ek!e, flying start. The race will take place tomorrow on the Irvington tract, Portland. Staver holds the Northwest record lor a mile of 2:06. Tbe race, will be run two in three beats and Staver will be paced by II. F. Terrell and H. B. Freeman. Portland Train Late. Passenger No 2 was four bonra and 45 minutes late Tuesday morning. 1 be delay was caused by So. 1 wentbound passenger going into the ditch near Cold Springs, between Wallulaand Umatilla No, l's engine was derailed by running into a sand drift. In railroad parlance tbe engine is "in the ditch" whenever she's off tbe track. There was no dam age done by the ditching. The west bound engine merely got off the track, the east bound couldn't get by and it took four hours to clear the track. Deputies Salaries Cut. Appointments of deputy officials have been confirmed by tbe county court and their salaries were also fixed as below : H. A. Faxon, deputy sheriff, salary $1000; F. W. Kimberk, deputy sheriff, salary $840 ; C. A. Frazier, deputy sher iff, salary $840 ; M. J. Carney, deputy sheriff, salary $840; J. M. Leezer. deputy clerk, salary $1000; J. T. Lambirth, de puty clerk, salary 1900; Lot Livermore, deputy recorder, salary $840. The salaries of every deputy, with the exception of J. T. Lambirth, have been reduced, those of H. A. Faxon and J. M. Leezer from $1200 to $1000; F. W. Kim berk's from $1000 to $340, and the others have all been reduced from $900 to $340. Card of Thanks. Death has suddenly removed from our midst a loved one, and we wish to take this method of expressing our gratitude to the numberless friends who so kindly ministered to the wants of the departed, while living, and when gone, by their many acts illustrated true fr'cndship. , Mrs. O. Waterman, . E. S. Waterman. WESTON AND MILTON. The "East End" as Reflected By Our r ' Exchanges. WBSTON LEADER. Mr. Willis Marsh will teach a term of school in the King district. A. D. Blue and family left for their borne on tbe reservation where they will remain during harvest. Dr. Stiles has been having consider able trouble lately with an irritated hand, but now rejoices at its improve ment. , i The Williams steam threshing outfit from Athena passed through Weston today for Milton, where they will harvest a week and then return to Athena. - C. B. Wade, cashier of the First National bank of Pendleton, has exam ined seventy fields of wheat, and thinks tbe loss from hot winds will reach 70 per cent. Last week Ira Henderson's horses ran away with a binding machine. Fortu nately no serious damage was done, only. a broken tongue and one of the horses received a few slight scratches. Ed. Hale, once a Weston boy, visited this city Wednesday, while on his way to Butte, Montana. It was the first time he had seen Weston since he left fourteen years ago. He is now located at Ilenoner. Forty boarders took supper last Tbtus- Camp, which yearly grows in popularity as a summer resort. Already the popu lation of the camp numbers ovor seventy, and it is constantly increasing. Weston maysaem a trifle "slow" to people unacquainted with its gocd points, but "money t makes tbe mare ko," and there's a little money here.. Deposits at the Farmer's Bank of Weston last Satur day aggregated $3728.19 a fair day's reeord. : . XMarion O'Harra has gratified hia de 4ire for peculiar pets by obtaining pos session by purchase from a mountaineer, of a voune black bear, to replace the I coyote which recently met with a violent death. It is playful and frisky, and by no means shy. "Doc" will raise it prop eriy. and hopes that maturity will find it intelligent and peaceable, with no yearn ing rteeire to scratch and tear Its bene1 factor.. Accompanied by a special insurance agent, L. 6. Wood made a trip today through tbe grain fields north and west of Weston. Id his opinion there will be lots of wheat in this vicinity, at least. An average of 35 or 40 bushels is promised trom some of the fields, and while the hot weather did considerable damage, tbe wheat generally will be of fair quality. News reached Milton early this moim irg that tbe eight-year old eon of Joe freeman was Killed at an early hour today by being dragged to death by a calf. The little fellow was sent to picket tbe calf out to graze on a side hill when the animal became frightened and ran. The boy's limbs and boiy were tangled in the rope and be could not extricate himself, lie was dead when found. The Freemans live in the Bowlus neigh borhood, A ripple of interest was occasioned Wednesday evening by an attempt of the mayor to sprinkle down the dust with city water in front of bis store on Main street, and its stoppage by the water committee. The mayor argued that he paid rent for the water, used very little for other- purposes, and thought that watering a public thoroughfare would prove a public benefit; and the commit tee that use of city water for street sprinkling is not permissable under any circumstances. Weston is becoming depopulated. Fortunate, people are going to the mountains and unfortunate people to the harvest field. Thursday we lost four of our best young men, who go tb Lehman Springs to remain a month. Their prin cipal business will be eating, if one could judge from the load of supplies they bought at Blair's. Box after box was loaded, and the boys may intend to start a young grocery at tbe springs. The Weston party consists of Willis Marsh. Norval E. Bradley, Will A. Thompson and Frank Blair and they will probably, be joined by some Pendleton young men; A wise newspaper chaoses its mind in the face of good evidence that it has been on tbe "wrong side" of an important, issue. The East Oregon ian deserves nothing but congratulation, therefore, for the following editorial expression: "On account of such evidence which has recently come to the surface In such con vincing form, the East Oregonlan has Awarded ' Highest Honors World's Fair, 'DEIr MOST PERFECT MADE.

In the afternoon the thermom eter registered 105 degrees in the front of the Eagle. F. M. SamDla and Miaa Mvrtln Rprfnr of this city, were married by Father &agan at bis residence in Walla Walla Saturday evening. The people are' fleeing to the moun tains to escape the heat and dust in tbe valley. For the next sixty days joy will reign supreme at all the favorite re sorts. The little eighteen month-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Forrest Lombard died in Freewater Tuesday of some infantile dis order. The little one was buried Wednes day. Mrs. Daisy Welch, daughter of Dr. J. T. Plimell, of this city, died at the family residence in the south part of town Sat urday. Mrs. Welch has been afflicted for months past with dropsy of the stomach and ber death was, not unex pected. , Burt Putnam is back from the coast where be went to test the Allen gold ma chine on beach sand. The test was un satisfactory because of rust on the gold and also for the reason that it is mixed with another substance that renders it incompatable to the attractions of quick silver. A cougar killed a colt and devoured half his carcass in Hig Harris' pasture last Tuesday night. According to Joe West's account of the varmint he must have been a giant among cougars, for he had feet as large an those of a ;full grown horse. No special effort has been made to capture him. The little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. O. O. Cunningham reported dangerously ill last week with cerebro-spinal menin- eitia. died Mnndav mnrninor at an os.ln hour and was buried the same day in the waiia ;r ana cemetery.

The Eagle really knows nothing regarding tbe truth or falsity of this statement, but such a story is being circulated and has gained almost general credence. J Ruddock at Liberty, A Isaac Ruddock, who has been im prisoned in tbe Multnomah county jail for nearly two months awaiting trial on the serious charge of having robbed the Pendleton poetoffice, and, in committing this crime, of having shot Postmaster Johnson through the hand, is now at liberty, but without having been cleared of the aspersion cast upon bis character. United States Attorney Murphy, not having sufficient evidence to secure Bud dock's conviction, moved the diemipeal of the cse. The motion was granted and Ruddock set at liberty. Last summer one of our grand children was sick with a severe bowl trouble. Our doctor's remedies had failed, then we tried Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera' aud Diarrhoea Remedy, which gave very speedy relief.
