OMINOUS WARNING.
An
Anonymous Writer Threatens a
Milton Man's Life.
Mr Vm Whit! Yon had better!
tend to your business & quit meddling or
bunting up recoros oi manage
divorces or this Is what yon will get take
this for granted and let It bee the last
time." . .
The "this" referred to in tne missive
was a small piece of hemp rope, and no
doubt was intended to convey to Mr.
White's mind visions of a hanging bee in
which that gentleman is chief actor.
Mr. White informs the Milton Eagle
that be knows the author of the anony
mous communication and will take the
necessary trouble to land him or her be
hind the prison bars for a long term of
years.
From facts which have leaked ont con
cerning the above it seems that a man
up the Walla Walla river is living with a
young girl as a wife, claiming that he
married her at Pendleton. It is said he
has another wife living, and even if he
has not, the girl, who has not attained
legal age, was taken from home without
the consent cf her guardians ; further
more it is said by those who have looked
the matter up that the parties were not
married in Pendleton or elsewhere, as no
record of the transaction can be found.
It is understood Mr. White has been
instrumental in looking op these facts
and to this cause be attributes the receipt
of the unpleasant communication.
The authorities have been working on
the case for several weeks bat as yet no
arrests have been made. It it highly
probably this latest development, how
ever, will bring things to a focus aBd
that very shortly the gay Lothario's ad
dress will be changed to Salem.
Another Man Missing.
John Swartz, a German resident of the
Looking Glass country, has not been
seen in his usual haunts for several days
East and some of bis friends are appre
eneive that he became deranged and
wandored off and became lost and per
ished in the mountains, as the last time
he waa seen he fled from the school
children of that section in a manner
that indicated mental derangement ; but
Swartss's nearest neighbors think he has
gone to the Walla Walla country to work
through harvest.
The belief that Swartz bos become de
ranged and wandered off is further
strengthened by the fact that he left
some deposit checks and some horses at
"Undo" Jake Long's that he had in
tended to call for before he started across
the mountains.
Swartz has been a resident of the
Lookiner Glass section for the past three
years, having come here from Montana
with another German, wnora report says
"beat" him out of the most of his posses
eions. This latter fact is supposed to be
the cause of bis mental trouble.
Too Fast for Chehalis.
Frank Frazler's celebrated pacer Cho
halis was simply outclassed when he en
tered a two best in three mile-heita race
aaainstJohn F. Staver. the bicyclist
Chehalis ii a thoroughbred and the
earnest little horse in the country, but
horses have no business with bicycles,-4
they are not in it with bicycles. In fact it's
an insult to as good a horse as Chehalis,
thinks the East Oreeoninn. to make him
run against bicycles. Frazior has always
maintained that bis horse could beat any
bicycle rider in the country a mile race
Biiu many is tne argument uo una uau uu
the subject, many ot bis friends tiyiug in
vain to show him where tie was wrong
Probably he is satisfied now. Chehalis
has a record of 2 :07, and Staver made a
mils in 2:02.
Broke Down the Pound.
Arthur Cladwell, who lives three miles
from Walla Walla, found nine of his
horsoB shut up in the city pound last Fri
day, lie got an ax, and, breaking down
the high board fence, took his animals
out and drove them home. A warrant
was sworn out for his arrest, and Deputy
Sheriff Young and Constable Wolf went
to his home to arrest him. House and
premises were searched, but no trace of
the young man could be found. The offi
cers were on the point of leaving, when
one of them chanced to look up into a
treo, where he saw the fugitive hidden
among the thick branches near the
top. He was ordered to come down, and
did so with considerable reluctance. He
was brought to town, and settled the af
fair by paying all costs involved.
Verdict of Perjuiy Set Aside.
Judge Lowell has set aside the ver lid
of the jury which in March last found
Joe Kalyton, an Indian, guilty of perjury,
and ordered that the defendant be dis
charged from custody, the action be dis
missed and that he recover from the
state of Oregon damages in the sum of
$70 and costs taxed at $10. The case
was appealed to the supreme court, which
court ruled that the circuit court had
errod in overruling the motion made on
behalf of the defendant to instruct the
jury to find the defendant not guilty.
Damage to Grain.
County Commissioner Henry Frazier,
of Milton, who commenced harvesting a
week ago, gave the following information
regarding the grain he has already had
threshed ; One hundred and fifty acres
of barley, the ground plowed and sowing
done lst spring, went 25 bushels to the
acre; 100 acres of Hootch pipe wheat
which, one would have expected, upon
looking at it from the road, to yield 30
bushels to the acre, went only about 15
bushels to the acre.
Umatilla County Crops.
La Grande Chronicle: F. A. Cook.of
Portland, is at the Hotel Bommer. lie
represents the Columbia Implement
Company, and has traveled considerably
over Umatilla county. Mr. Cook says
the grain crop there will be ten per cent,
larger than expected one month ago,
though the crop there ia nothing like .the
large one in Union county.

The Open Season for Grouse.
Mr. Al Andrews, deputy game warden
for Kastern Oregon, tells the La Grande
Chronicle that an error waa made in
copying the game law for publication, so
that the open tor grouse season was
made from September 1 instead of August
1. The open season, ho says, is from
August 1 to December 1.

FORTHE THIRD TIME
Branch Asylum Case Again
Before the Court.
REGARDING SPCULATION
Effect of its Absence on the
Price of Grain.
The question of establishing a branch
insane asylum in Eastern Oregon was
submitted to the supreme court Tuesday
for the third time. The suit la brought
by the state of Oregon, upon the relation
of James McCain, district attorney for
the third judicial district respondent, vs.
Phil Metscban, state treasurer, appel
lant Arguments for the state were pre
sented by Henry St. Rgyner and W. W.
Thayer, 8. L. Ilayden, district attorney,
successor to James McCain, and H.J.
Bieeer. appeared for the state, and J. G.
Moreland presented argument for the
appellant, Metschan. The suit is to
restrain the treasurer from paying a
warrant of $25,000 issued in payment of
a site purchased by the state board of
building commissioners, for the erection
of a branch asylum at Union, in Union
county. The same question of locating a
state institution away from tne seat ot
government has been before the court
since 1893, when the suit of Sherman
came up enjoining the Soldiers' Home
board from locating the home at Rose
burg. The supreme court, in the case of
Sherman vs. Bellows, decided in favor
of the board and the borne was erected
at Boseburg. In March, 1894, following
the act of the legislature to purchase a
site and erect a branch asylum for insane,
suit was instituted by the state ex rel
Tavlor. a taxpayer, to enjoin the state
from pavinz out money for such purpose.
This caee was decided adversely to the
state, and in July, 1895, the case was
again presented to the supreme court
upon the relation of Taylor, with the
name of James jfcCain, district attorney,
attached to the complaint. The caee
was again decided adversely to the state,
and it was again presented in slightly
changed form, today.
ABSENCE OF SPECULATION.
It Has Caused a Decline in the Prices
of all Kinds of Grain.
Downing, Hopkins & Co. the Portland
firm, gives the following as the report of
the '.wheat market for the present week:
Those who for years have asserted that
speculation is the chief cause for the de-press-ion
in prices will have to revise
their ideas There has been a good illus
tration of tbis theory the past week. The
absence of speculation has caused prices
on grains and provisions to sell very low,
oats, flax seed, and provisions touching
the lowest figures on record. One dollar
now buys a bushel each of wheat, corn
and oats, and leaves a small margin be
sides This ia something that has not
been known for years, and there are but
f iw operators in the trade who have ever
seen similar conditions. Prices have de
clined from the absence of speculative
buying and selling by tired holders, who
rather than put up additional margins
have let go. The chief buyers have been
the shorts, and had it not been for their
buying, there is no telling where the
prices would have Btnpped. Corn and
O Us were lower than at present in 1801
and wheat in 1894, but there has never
been such uniform depression. There is
concentration of the short interest, and
with tho exception of a few traders who
play a line of 500,000 to 1,000,000 bushels,
there is not a large trader on the short
side. All the big ones who have made
their money on the short side in the past
are now bullish and long a little wheat.
The decline in wheat has brought the
market to an export basis for Northern
No. 1 and new No. 2 red winter, and
large quantities of these two named
erades sold for direct export last week.
The foreign situation shows little change.
There will be an average wheat crop in
about all tho wheat countries, with the
exception of Russia, which will have a
larger one. Our exports are not likely
to increase over lust year's and foreign
consuming countries are carrvintt lighter
stocks than last year by 13,000,000 bush
els in store and also the same quantity
afloat, or a total of 26,000,000 bushels less
in slht than on July 1, 1895. The
American visible supply of wheat de
creased 477,000 bUBhels, and now totals
40,743,000 bushels.

The Only One
To Stand tlie Test.
Kev. William Copp, whose father
was a physician for over fifty years,
in New Jersey, and who himself
spent many years preparing for the
practice of medicine, but subse
quently entered the ministry of the
M. E. Church, writes: "I am glad
to testify that I have
had, analyzed all the
sarsaparilla prepara

AYER'S .

them that I could
recommend as a

After that, my heart and nervons system

A Bicvcle constructed ot material
that is simple in construction, easily taken apart and put together again
has few Darts, is of such wiry material that its parts will hold together
even in an accident, no hollow material to be crushed in by every con
tact; a frame that cannot possibly be broken; a frame so simple mat ns
adjusting parts serve as its connecting parts; a one-piece crank in place
of a dozen parts; always ready to give reliable and rapid transportation.
SPECIFICATIONS AND DESCRIPTIONS:
FRAME. Improved Double Diamond. What is a Double
Diamond Frame? Simply a true
that occur in Cycles the outline of two diamonds in its makeup, lhe
frames are" constructed of f-inch cold rolled steel rods, the toughest and
strongest metal for its weight known, and the parts are joined together
with steel and aluminum bronze nttings in sucn a manner inai u is
impossible to brake or any part to work loose. A marvel of novelty,
simplicity and durability, the greatest combination of ingenuity in bi
cycle mechanism, to build a frame without brazen joints and tubing,
as you know that frames continually break and iracture at Drazen joinis
and tubes when thev are buckled in cannot be repaired. We guaran
tee our Double Diamond Frame
break it. Standard size Bteenng

WHEELS. 28-inch front and

AXLE AND BEARINGS.
out, with 148 hardened steel balls. Crank shaft bearings are fitted with
our patent ball cases, which are interlocked and support each other and
cannot possibly come apart while in use. Are neat and cover the bear
ings completely. It has been an . acknowledged fact that crann axie
bearings are susceptible of improvement, as threaded cones' or crank ax
les are continually crowding or workine loose. We save this entire nuis
ance by having no threaded part s
for adjustment, Our invention is
be 6een to be appreciated. The sprocket and chain are on ine insiae oi
the frame and ball bearings. Great value is gained by this arrange
ment; ease of running, double wear saved, positive never loose bearings,
freedom from contacrwith chain, and sprocket, smooth outward globu
lar ball bearings, less friction and lost motion, hence greater speed.
Then with the jointless "one-piece crank," feet, ankles and trousers are
free from injury.
ONE-PIECE CRANK. Our
cation we put two cranks, two pedal
and four washers all in one piece. From 50 to 1UU per cent, oi an tne
trouble to bicycles is from cranks working loose and pedal axles that
break from clamping connections.
pains is taken to key and tighten them. This is caused by too many
parts, and it is entirely saved by our device, which is but., one piece,
and made from tough rolled steel rods, impossible to break. It has been
proven 'that when other cranks break
will hardly bend.

SPROCKET WHEELS. Best drop forged Bteel. ,
REACH. Shortest, 28 inches; longest, 37 inches.
GEAR. 64 or 72, as specified. . -
FRONT FORKS. Indestructible. Our fork crowns are simply '
a section of gun barrel 6teel turned up to size, then bored and bent,
forming a perfect fork crown that cannot be surpassed for strength and
beauty, also giving a support to our solid cold rolled fork rods that just
limit the necessary amount of springiness required in a front fork and
which can onlv be obtained by use of our forks and crown.
HANDLE BARS. Reversible and adjustable, a marvel of sim
plicity, readily adjusted to any position desired, with best cork or com
position handles. In buying a bicycle it is always a vexed question as
to whether you want dropped or elevated handle bars. If you wanted
One kind you could not have the other. Our handle bar enables you to
have either 'at will. Will furnish Ram's Horn handle bars if preferred.
SADDLES. Gilliam, P. & F., Reading, or other first-class make.
PEDALS. Rat trap or rubber; full ball bearing. f .
FINISH. All oarts are enameled with our own special enamel,
rubbed down and baked, giving it a handsome black, glossy appearance.
All bright parts are heavily nickle-plated; these, with the jet black gloss
parts, give a handsome appearance which cannot be excelled.
ACCESSORIES. Each "Maywood" Bicycle is furnished with a
leather tool bag, containing pump, wrench and patent oiler, . -
WEIGHT. According to tires, pedals, saddles, from 'M to au ids.
A PRICE THAT WILL REACH YOU.
Do not imagine because it is not high priced it is not high grade
We. do not use expensive hollow tubing, besides, we belong to no Com
bination or Trust, We own every patent, pay no royalties, manufacture .
the entire wheel ourselves and are satisfied with a reasonable profit, em
ploy no expensive racers, but depend upon the gofld common sense ot
the American people to appreciate a good thing when they see it. We
afford to make the price we do, for we expect to sell ten "Maywoods"
to one of any individual make sold. We simply say that the "May
wood" is a perfect Bicycle, containing more originality and genuine
points of excellence than can be found in all other machines together.
The "May wood" has puccessfully passed through the experimen
tal stage. During the past three years we have put out over 5,000
"Maywoods," placed in the hands of riders of all classes and widely
distributed through the country. Expert riders and clumsy riders,
heavy men and light men, on smooth roads and on rough roads, have
given this wheel every conceivable test, proving it to be the best wheel
on earth for every day ubo, a wheel that can be constantly used over the
roughest roads without showing weakness and the constant necessity of
repairs. Its construction "is so simple, its vital parts bo strong, that the
possibility of breakage is reduced to a minimum.
