VOLUME IX. ATnENA, UMATILLA COUNTY, OREGON, FRIDAY MORNING, AUGUST 21, 1896. NUMBER 34. It SIM MONS regulatcTr7 L Reader, did you ever take Simmons Liver Regulator, the "mo of Liver Medicines?." Everybody needs take a liver remedy. It is a sluggish or diseased liver that impairs digestion and causes constipation, when the waste that should be carried off remains in the body and poisons the whole system. That dull, heavy feeling is due to a torpid liver. Biliousness, Headache, Malaria and Indigestion are all liver . diseases. Keep the liver active by an occasional dose of Simmons Liver Reg ulator and you'll get rid of these trou bles, and give tone to the whole sys tem. For a laxative Simmons Liver Regulator is better than Pills. It does not gripe, nor weaken, but greatly refreshes and strengthens. Every package has the Bed Z stamp on the wrapper. J. II.

How the Squaws Fooled the U. S. Troops. WK6T0N lkadkr ! Mrs. Emma Kilgore and children, of Athena, were visiting irienda at Woeton during the week. v Hobo j with epectadea tn Bell have been occasional visitors at Weston for the past month. Each has a different sUuy to tell as to how he came in possession of his stock in trade. Evidently a large number of epeotaclea were stolen and then . distributed among tbe box cr brethern. . The Leader ia glad to report that the brickyard industry will be revived in Weeton, even on a small scale. The bent brick in the country are made here, and only a market is needed. Mr. Kelson will begin operations next week with a small force of men, and will make brick by hand instead of ueiDg the machine. A Wild Horse correspondent says that harvest is in full blaet out there j the King and Gramyan boys are cutting Mr. Bimpson's 300 acres of wheat. Mr, Jesse Baker is building a new bouse on his place, purchased by Mr. Ellis. Mr. King has the nicest wheat on the Yon um tuck place Mrs. Grace Hudspeth is stopping at her father's house this week. , One of the harvesters at the O'Harra place near Weston, a Mr. Woods was eeverely hurt yesterday. He was feed ing the separator, and one of the womleu pins slipped out of his i;rasp into the cylinder, drawing his hand in aftf it. before he could withdraw it his hand was badly laceratnd by the teeth, and he will be '"'laid up" about a month fom the wounds. A rather otner spodimen of hum rnitv is tramping around the country acting in a manner bordering on ineanity. At one residence recently he demanded il the lady of the house something to eat; at uirother place he asked for needle, thread and buttons. When handed to him he demanded that more thread should be given and he then went to another bouse and demanded more buttons. ( . ;.,. ., 1 .. Potatoes promise to be worth some' thing this year. The crop is poor, and the price will correspond with their scarcity. Some of the spuds are taking a second growth, resulting sometimes in curious vegetable freaks. One mountain rancher, J. K. Davidson, who plants a lance amount of potatoes every Tear ought to strike it rich this year. He has forty acres in potatoes, and if they yield well will get big returns. Tbe Wee ton mountain Finland! s are not anxious, apparently, to pay their obligations, and business men who sell them goods ou "tick" must take desper ate chances. The suit by U. W, froeb-, stel against Abraham Abrahamson to recover about $300 on promissory notes due for four years is an example of tho unpleasant features of having our fellow citizens from Findland for customers. The justice of tbe debt has not been questioned by tho defense, but suit has been brought in Justice Parkes' court at Pendleton agaiost Constable Logan of Weston to recover seven out of the fifteen head of cattle which Mr, Logan attached. The Leader is in receipt of an anony mous letter from Wild Horse stating that a resident out there "tried to choke his wife to death" on Sunday last. Accord ing to our unknown contributor, the husband "grabbed her by the throat, thre her down, jumped on her stomach and tried to mash her; and she told him he was killing her. She tore away from him and started to run out of the house, and be grabbed her again and tried to choke her. She then ran away from him and came down to her folks, crying, her hair hanging down and no hat on." Owing to the fact that tbe name of lhe correspondent is not signed the Leadtr withholds the name of the party accused and also some of the delectable particu lars of this domestic drama. If tho facts have not been overdrawn by our correspondent, the husband certainly de serves a dose of tbe treatment he ad ministrated to bis wifo. Howev3r, there may be another side to the case. milton eaole. Mrs. Stone, of Athena, mother of J. N.

A Bryan liberty pole was brought down yesterday by Mr. Olinger and it will be erected on J. 8. Richey's corner as soon as arrangements are perfected.

Rosie Minthorn Told How the Squaws Fooled General Howard. Since tet4imouv whs tuken in the case of the Statu of "O't-gw against Gilbert Vinthoru, a c'v;!!z.d Indian, charged with perjury, 6aj a the Tribune, it has been learned that the accused is not uncle to the two children of Rosio Minthorn, deceased, but only kind of half-uncle. It has also como to light that Rosio Min thorn, prior to her death on the Nez Perce reservation, reqeestod that her brother Charles McOonvillo be ap pointed guardian of her two little ones. Proper applUa ion of this has been made in tho Idaho courts. In addition to making such a request orally, Mrs. Minthorn also wrote and subscribed her name to a writing, of which the following is a copy ; "Charley McConville my brother he one father, jly two boys my brother will keep them. The oldest boy got land here. 1 was married in church. I have 160 acres and 40 acres where the house ia. Mv mv whn rliprl had thin land. Nobody must trouble my husband. "Mrs. Koeia Uabh Oash." The deceased was first married to Minthorn, now dead, by hotn she bore the two children iu question, and later to Jim Cash Cash. It has also bmn learnnd that '"Rosie," some six years ago, acted as eer?ant jn the household of Colonel- Parsons, who yet remembers some of the thrilling stories told by the then young woman of the terrible events which happened dur ing the flight of Chief, Joseph across tho continent, starting from Lake Wallowa with General Howard in pursuit. She would often tell of how, when tho Ind ians were hotly pursued, the mothers would take their btibiea and lay down in the rivers with only their notes above water while the bulh'ts were whistleing around them. In this way the squaws and children were always out of danger when the fighting began, making it herder work for Genural Howard. When the ycung woman tutored tbe household of Colonel Parsons she was a fine musi cian, had a rich, sweet voice, and hr.d re ceived a very fair education. He Caught a Tartar. Dan McEachern, the blacksmith, is not a p'lgllist r:or a bully on the con trary he is a very peawnbly inclined in dividual, but last Friday, coming out of Walla Walla, he met a man who needed a "thumping," and Dan gave it to him according to the latest' methods. The fellow had a girl with him and probably wanted to show off, by having some fun with tbe meek looking stranger, and ac cordingly locked wheels with Mr. Mo Eachern'e buggy. Dai. got out to dig entangle tbe to rigs when the f mart Aleck pulled out a gun from the floor of his bupgy and fired a shot, but whether at Mr. McEichern or not that gentle man doesn't know, nor did he stop to in quira, but promptly stopped over and knocked the shootiet down. After tho man had regained conocious noes and Muc had succeeded in separat ing the buggies, be wai politely told to act in a more gentlemanly manner in the future and thus avoid troublo.

Gov't Report U C7 AB5QMtmM PURE A BILL OF DAMAGES Spain Preparing a Claim on Account of Filibustering. IS NOT SUPERSTITIOUS Left Home on Friday; Was Nominated on Friday. Washington, Aug. 15. Tha Spanish government ia preparing a big bill of damages to be presented to tho United States on account of the numerous ex peditions alleged to have gone from our ehorea to the relief of tho Cuban insur gents. In support of its claim for repar tition, it intends to invoke the precedent established against Groat Britain in tho celebrated Alabama claims award, made by the Geneva arbitration tribupal. Thore have been reports heretofore that Spain, at the proper time, would present a series of claims on aocount of the use the insurgents have made of the United States as a base of supplies of hostile operations in Cuba. These were nothing more than Tumors until today, when the government oflUws received copiB cf a rsnort from the Spanish legation, made by its 'egal adviser, Mr Calderon Car iitle. The report ia handsomely printed in pamphlet form, and, with its five ap pendices, makes a book of over 300 pates. - The Wiborg case, recently decided by the United States enpreme court, is cited and referred to as the one solitary con viction obtained ia the United States since tbe beginning of the present Cuban insurrection. Tbe attorney says it is thought proper to show from the caee of the severe award against Great Britain what the United States expected of a neutral cation, and also to recall the attitudo of Spain toward the United States during the civil war. The prin ciples indicated and enforced by the United States against Great Britain, as those which should have governed her would seem, the report says, to be clearly applicable to the du'ies and legislations of the United States toward Spain in the recent instance. Iu reviewing the Geneva reward, the report says it was clear that the United Mates made its complaint mainly upon the fitting out and shipping from England of venule and supplies. In concluding the first section of bis report. Mr. Car lisle says the powers invested in tho president of the United States have not been effectively used for preventing the carrying on of military expeditions for bidden by the statutes. -The United States, he says, contended at Geneva that no nation can, under cover of the deficiencies of its own laws, disregard its duties toward another power. Whatever pretext and attempts may r-e made to carry on ttiese expeditions, as peaneiui and lawful voyage, the fact remain?, aajs tbe attorney, that from tho begin mug of the insurrection, the base ol supplies for war material has been in tho united States. I bis branch of Mr. Uar- lit lti's repmt concludes as follows : To tolerate this state of 8 flairs and these acts is a violation of the treaties of neutrality under the law of nations as they have beeu proclaimed to the rest of the world bv the United Slates, lo pre vent and punish these acts which are in violation of tbe statute laws of this coun try, it is believed that the federal govern ment has all the attributes of sovereignity with respect to the subject under dis cussion. Nor ia it perceived what distinction or difference iu principle can excuse the exercise of the diligence com mensurate with tho existing emergency which iu the sight of tbe world they re quired and enforced against Great Britain at Geneva" In conclusion, after a review of tho proclamations of various presidents of ths United States, the attorney says that, while it could r ot be insisted that ono nation is bound to take notice of tbe ex istence of an "insurrection in another country, as it is bound to recognize a state of public war, it is nevertheless hound to take notice of such a condition to the extent that it gives warning to the citizens and inhabitants in the discharge of obligations which one friendly nation owes another, and as a measure of pre caution must prevent the violation of this obligation. He declares that the pro clamations cited in the appendices fully illustrate tho recognition of this principle by the United State, which is especially accentuated by the proclamation of President Cleveland ou June 12, 1805. He concludes this portion of bis report by saying: "Tbe laws made by lhe municipal au thorities of the United States cannot measure or limit the international re sponsibility of the United States." Tho officials to whom copies of this pamphlet wero addressed did not rare to discuss the matter for publication, but privately expressed the opinion that tbe only object of its preparation was the basis of a claim to b presented against the United States by Spain on account of filibustering expeditions.

If there is anything, in omena William Jennings Bryan would seem to be on the unlucky side. Not only did bis nomina tion happen on Friday, but he wai as signed to and occupied room No. 13 at the Clifton House during convention. He also took another room, No, 99, wben Mrs. Bryan arrived here, but he never theless bung on to No. 13 as long as he remained in the city. It is a curious fact, too, in this connec tion, as illustrating the extent to which tbe number 13 has entered into his life here, that he left the city on his way to his former home in Salem in, this state, on the 13th day of the month. It may be that Mr. Bryan in defiance of the time-honored supersiition, looks upon 13 as an omen of good, rather than ill. Either that or there will be many who will see in this commingling o! the num ber 13 and Friday evidences of tbe dis aster awaiting the ambitious young Nob raskan. It is probably the fact, how ever that he had more fun for hia money than any of the visitors to the convention, for his bill at the Clifton house for both himself and Mrs. Bryan amounted to only $13.50. A tew days after his arrival he handed Mr. Kohler a package of bills amounting to $60 with the requst that he place them in tbo office safe. This was done and on his departure he walked up to the cashier's window and neked for his bill, at the same time call ing for the $60 and expressing the hope that it was sufficient to square his account. He was told by the clerk that it was more than enough and when he was handed a receipted bill and $16.50 be said, with much satisfaction : "If there is another man who can come here and get the presidential nomination and only pay a hotel bill of $43.50 I would like to find bim." The remark was overheard by several men who were standing near and a laugh was raised by one of them saying : "It once cost me $500 to try to get the nomination for governor," Mr. Bryan joined in the laugh and, turning, said, to the speaker : "Perhaps it was cheaper to lose lhe $500 than ,to get tho nomination." Chicago Tribune. Tariff Is the Issue. Congressman W. R. Ellia arrived in The Dallos Wednesday. He was inter viewed by a Dalles Chronicle reporter and stated that he would stump Oreuon ( in the cause of McKinloy and protec tion. "The general impression among the people of the state is that you favor tbo silver side of the question?" said the reporter. 'Oh, not wholly," responded Mr. Ellis with a deprocating gesture. "I have been friendly with both metals, and should like to see the largest use of both consistent with keeping up tbe parity, I am not one of those number who believe that great disorder is to follow tbe financial Issue, no matter which way it is Buttled. Whatever may be the result of tho election I do not be lieve we shall have any great panic or commotion. I think McKinlry will be elected and that tho fight is going to be settled along republican line and I do Dot think the financial plank is the moat Important. There are several others ahead of that. I believe the tariff plank is paramount to all others. Then the old established republican principle of restriction of immigration is of more Im portance than the financial plank. There are several that In my judgement come ahead of that one. Death Due to Kaffir Com. V7. 1. McCullom inf rms the Rilzvilla Times that he planted some Kaffir corn this seanon, the seed of which was ob tained from Kansa'. Tbe other day four bead of calf a got into the field where the corn is Trowing and ata some of It, which Is iif. v green and about a fool and a half 1 inn. Ail four ot tnem died within an l'Mir or two. He knows of nothing else that could of killed the animals and believes their death was caused by eating Kaffir corn. Franks York also ulanted a lot of the corn. Some bogs got into tlK field and ate somo of it. All of tbe hogs f t sick and one of them died. Raiser f Kaffir corn in this vicinity may avc tbelr stock by keeping them from f v. ing on the green product. Sliding Mountain Won't Stop. The sliding mountdn just below the Upper Cascades Is one of the wonders of tbe western world. It has tl e slides this year worse than usual, and its move ment has rendered necessary the re-location of the O. U, & N. Co'i. railway for a distance of some 1200 feet. The new lina will be moved some 60 feet back, and will be eighteen feet higher than tbe present line, which has gone away below grade, owing to the sinking and sliding of the land. The railroad engineers have become so accustomed to tbe antics cf sliding mountain that they just let it slide, and wben it gi ts the track too far down, they move it up again. Ore gooian.
