H. B. Nelson intends starting the
Weston brickyard in operation soon, on
A limited scale. Tbe yard is now out of

anticipation of orders.
'Squiro Powers drove to Athena the
other day to inform Justice Smith that
in case his legal services were needed he
could be notified by telephone, end
would drive over immediately. But bis
hopes for practice in the law courts of
our sister town died in the shell, for be
found four lawyers in Athena.
The heading and threshing crew of
Wm. Leach, W. A. Barnes and Wm.
Kilgore is at work in the Barnes field
weBt of town. They bave just finished
harvesting Mr. Kilgore's field beyond
Athena, and found that the hot weather
bad damaged it considerably. The yield
was about thirty bushels to the acre of
BOmewhat shriveled grain.
Weston people were called upon to
waste much sympathy last Monday.
News came that an unfortunate farmer
near Blue Mountain, Joe Kauilnian, had
lost 2000 bushels of barley through fire,
and everybody who heard the report
spoke bis regret. Later the intelligence
was modified into 100 sacks. Still later
the true news came that a setting caught
fire, supposedly from the carelessness of
smokers, but that it was extinguished
with the loss of only six or seven bushels
However, an excited echool teacher
drove a good horse to death upon being
sent after a plow to prevent the fire fiom
spreading in the Held.
Wrestliug nith the water problem
made Marshal Logan Rick for a couple of
'days last week; but after giving it the
work and attention be usually beBtowa
on matters relating to bis duty as "chief
of police and street commirsioner" he
solved it satisfactorily. The waterworks
ttystem has been out of joint for some
time, resulting in the little unpleasant
ness between the mayor and street com
mittee mentioned last week, when his
honor attempted to sprinkle the strpet.
Water was growing scarce, and Herman
Hessel figured on ordering gallons yea,
barrels and tanks of Mrs. Stahl's beBt
beer. - His patrons also figured on con
suming it. But the city marshal's wits
and hands were never idle, and finally
by putting in another air pipe at the
proper place he largely increased the
flow of water into the reservoir. Now it
remains at three feet or more, and in
spite of leakages, furnishes an ample
supply for all purposes. We bave a flag
pole 98 feet high, and a stream of water
was sent several feet over it through the
nozzle of a fire hose attached to a hy
drant near by.
Last Tuesday a box car tourist struck
Weston, and shortly afterward secured
employment at "jigging sacks," to begin
work the following day. lie carried
with him an innocent looking bundle,
which he carelessly bandied. In the
afternoon he was seen to bide it beneath
the sidewalk near M. A. Bryson's resi
dence, and it was afterward resurrected
by the city marshal, who refrained from
opening it uutil the following morning
The bundle contained some black silk
handkerchiefs, gloves, two cyclometerH,
several razors and a few articles of
jewelry. A letter from City Marshal
Ardrey, of La Grande, showed that they
had been stolen from an Island City
store, and Marshal Logan then com
menced a search for the hobo a broad
faced, square-jawed, smooth-shaved
fellow, with light hair and eyes. He
had not tacvn bis job in the harvest
field, and could be found nowhere. It is
supposed he went after the bundle in the
night, aud finding it mining, concluded
that discretion prompted an immediate
departure for other climes.

The identity of the slayer of Keith
still remains a mystery, as does also the

Taken Suddenly With Cramps While
Bringing Home a Load of Wood.
M. L. Hasbrouck found 8 R. McLaren
lyii'g by the roadeide a few miles west of
Urn Mission about 3 o'clock Fridi.y after
soon. He went to the prostrate man's
assistance and was told that be was
coming borne from the mountains with a
load of wood and had been suddenly
taken with cramps in the intestines.
The pain became so severe that be was
compelled to stop bis team and lay down
on the roadside. Mr. Hasbronck put the
sufferer on bis backboard and started for
the gency, but Mr. McLaren begged
him to stop as the jar of the vehicle
caused more pain than be could endure.
An Indian coming np on horseback,
Hasbronck dispatched him witn all naste
for the agency physician, Dr. Perkins,
in the meantime fixing Mr. McLaren as
oomfortably as possible on the ground.
The doctor came with a conveyance in a
short time and conveyed the patient to
the agency where bis suffering was some
what relieved by the nee of anesthetics.
Dr. Smith was sent for about O" p m.

To Retain the Use of a Hand.
O. P. Davis' son Paul went to Oregon
flitv ahnut Julv 1 to have au operation
performed on his crippled hand, says the
East Oregonian. The operation was per
formed a few days ago and photographs
have been sent to his people here snow'
ing the "before and after" condition
The result so far is very satisfactory,
Before the operation the band was
whnilv hhoIqhb. The wrist was bent so
that the band was at right angles with
the arm and all the fingers were drawn
down close to the palm of the hand. An
incision was made at the wrist joint and
a large number of bones taken out and
the band straightened.
Death of E. G. Sloan.
E. Q. Sloan died at St. Vincent's
hospital, Portland, on Wednesday, July
I 29, at 3 o'clock p. m. He bad been a
sick man tor a long time, neiug severely
troubled with a chronic affliction of the
bladder.
Mr. Sloan came to Oregon along in the
60's. He became a resident of Umatilla,
was one of the charter members of tbe
Maeonio lodge at that place, and at the
time of his death bad completed more
than 29 years of faithful Masonio mem
bership. He was atone time well known
all over Umatilla county and in 1870 ran
for sheriff on tbe democratic ticket, and
was defeated by R. Sargent.
Value of Lemons.
Lemons, with their powerful acid, are
most helpful frequently in relieving a
bilious condition. A whole lemon's
juice pressed into a glass of hot or cold
water, with or without sugar, and tokeu
before one or two moals or at bed time,
will often work wonders for a torpid
liver. Such may be the treatment for
the first day or two in a marked attack
of this nature; then for a few days a half
lemon in water will be enough at one
time. Thereafter one or two oranges
each day will have the milder effect
desired.
Woolen Mills to Start Soon.
The work of setting up tbe machinery
in the woolen mills is now drawing to a
close, says the Pendleton Tribune.
There has been some delay by reason of
tbe management having been compelled
to wait for some of the fittings, but suf
ficient is now here for at least some of
the machines to be made ready for oper
ations. There is now great hope that
mills will start up sometime before the
end of next week.
Astoria Regatta.
Astoria will hold its third annual re

AFTER THE EDITOR
Curious Action of a "Chunk o
Lightning."
BAD FOR BEN BOWERS
Joe Hudspeth Throws More
Light on the Mystery.
Irving McQuary, now of the 'Silver
Hammer, St. Anthony, Idaho, has tne
following to say of the curious action of a
chunck o' ligntning" uunng an eunww
Storm at St. Anthony recently :
"The Silver Hammer building was a
victim of a thunderbolt Tuesday evening
and the fonr occupants of the office at the
time received a shaking up that they
will not soon forget. The building was
struck on the east side of the office about
four feet from the corner and the thun
derbolt darted through the building
spent its force on the northeast corner.
Had tbe bolt went straignc tnrougn me
building it would no doubt bave proven
fatal to one or more persons. Splinters
were blown all around tbe building from
the- blow and it is a big wonder that fire
was not started. Many people around
town noticed the flash strike and tor a
while many visitors were over to exam
ine the damage and comment upon the
phenomena.
"It is nresumefl that the lightning was
hunting for tbe editor, anyway it pierced
the wall at a place where the editor
generally rests bis weary bones, about
that hour, in the perusal of exchanges.
No doubt after discovering his absence it
intended to sneak through and stab tbe
'fighting editor' in tbe back, but tbe said
personage was in close proximity to a
congressional library, containing some of
wm. Mciunieys saver epeecnes. ana it
was so mortified that it sneaked off in
the corner, and once outside buried
itself in a sand pit.
"The report was as the sound of a
monster cannon, and the ball of fire was
brilliant and beyond description. N. P.
Haneon, of the Teton cheese factory, was
in tbe omce at tne time, ana Demg
nearer to the path of the current, received
the most shaking up."
BAD FOR
BOWERS.
Joe
Hudspeth Throws
Light on the
Mystery.
Weston Leader.
Had the testimony of an important
wl ness now absent from this Bection
been obtained at the Jay Keith inquest,
it would have tended still further to con
nect Ben Bowers with the murder of
this handsome young rider of Cherokee
descent.
This witness is Joe Hudspeth, who is
now in Anderson valley. Hudspeth was
a friend of Keith, and was on the Weston
mountain at the time the ycung man dis
appeared In a letter to his brother, Hudspeth
writes that Keith and Bowers rode away
from tbe Stark place together, intending
to go across the mountains. Keith bad
bidden a last farewell to Hudspeth, stat
ing that his eventual destination was the
Cherokee nation.
On the evening of the day that tbe two
riders left on their trip, Bowers returned
to Stark's place alone. Next day he was
at Fletcher's mill and attempted to
borrow money from Mr. Fletcher, stating
that he bad killed Keith and wanted to
leave the country. On another occasion
he was asked what had become of Keith,
and replied that he had left the
lying in a canyon. But little attention
was paid to Bowers at the time, in the
belief that he was a blowbard.
How Keith happened to accompany
Bowers into the wild canyon where lies
the old "horsethieves' corral," is the
strangest part of the tragedy. Possibly
Bowers said they might there easily
Father up some loose stock, which could
e disposed off with safety and profit
across the mountains.
Bowers has evidently succeeded in
putting many miles between himself and
prison bars. 'So farasknonn.no trace
of his whereabouts' has yet been dis
covered. 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 and
Diarrhoea Remedy, which gave very
speedy relief. We regard it as the best
medicine ever put on the market for
bowel complaints Mrs. E. Q. Gregory,
Federickstown, Mo. This certainly is
the best medicine ever put on the market
for dysentery, summer complaint, colic
and cholera infantum in children. It
never fails to give prompt relief when
used in reasonable time and tbe plain
printed directions are followed. Many
mothers bave expressed their sincere
gratitude for the cures it has effected.

A Bicycle constructed o! material that ia solid, tough and Wiry;
that is 8imple in construction, easily taken apart and put together again
has few Darts, is of such wirv material that its parti 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 sosimpie inai ub
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 truss in every direction for strains
that occur in Cycles the outline of two diamonds in its makeup. The
frames are constructed of f -inch cold rolled steel rods, the toughest and
strongest metal for its weight known, and the partB are joined together
with steel and aluminum bronze fittings in such a manner that it 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 fracture at brazen joints
and tubes when they are buckled in cannot be repaired. We guaran
tee our Double Diamond Frame for three years. You cannot
break it. Standard size steering head and wheel base, ball bearings
at both ends of head.
WHEELS. 28-inch front and rear, warranted one-piece wood
rims, best quality piano wire spokes and brass nipples, large barrel hubs
fitted with "Arlington" hose pipe, Morgan & Wright "quick repair," or
some other first-class pneumatic tire.
AXLE AND BEARINGS. Indestructible ball bearings through
out, with 148 hardened steel balls. Crank Bhaft 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 crank axle
bearings are susceptible of improvement, as threaded Cones or crank ax
les are continually-crowding or working loose. We save this entire nuis
ance by having no threaded parts whatever, but a clever device in frame
for adjustment, Our invention is most perfect in simplicity and must
be seen to be appreciated. The sprocket and chain are on the inside of
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 contact with 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 great achievement; by its appli
cation we put two cranks, two pedal axles, two keys, six screws, six nut
and four washers all in one piece. From 50 to 100 per cent, of all the
trouble ta bicycles is from cranks working loose and pedal axles that
break from clamping connections. They get loose no matter how much
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 from accident, our one-piece crank
will hardly bend.
CHAIN. Humber block pattern, best quality, Hardened.
SPROCKET WHEELS. Best drop forged steel.
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 steel 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 arid
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.
FINISH. All parts 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 gloBS
parts, give a handsome appearance which cannot be excelled. -
ACCESSORIES. Each "May wood" Bicycle is furnished with a
leather tool bag, containing pump, wrench and patent oiler.
WEIGHT. According to tires, pedals, saddles, from 27 to 30 lbs.
A PRICE THAT WILL REACH YOU. v
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 good 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 "May woods"
to on3 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 successfully passed through the experimen
tal stage. During the past three years we have put out over 5,000
"May woods," 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 use, 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 so strong, that the
possibility of breakage is reduced to a minimum. "
PRICES AND TERMS.
$4-0.00 is our Special Wholesale Price. Never before sold
for less. To quickly introduce the "Maywood" Bicycle, we have de-
cided to make a special coupon oner,
