The average yield of wheat io much better the county over than was expected wben harvest first commenced. Around Athena, Weston and Helix 25 to 40 bushels in many fields are reported. Wheat is bringing 35 cents in the Athena market. . The Gross boys, west of town got 35 bushels to the acre. They are of the opinion that if the wheat had filled as it would had not the hot winds come, their grain would have made 45 to 50 bushels. Robert Coppock's wheat is of good quality and made 33 bushels to the acre. Hugh McArther had 160 acres which went over 38 bushels of No. 1 wheat to the acre. Wm. Kilgore, across the creek bad a splendid looking held up to the time the hot winds came. The proBpect was cot down at least one-third and turned out over 30 bushels to the acre of good wheat. Charlie Marsh claims something like 30 bushels for his field. P. E. Colburu is satisfied with 40 bu shels to the acre of good, plump wheat, considering the conditions of the season. Jake Nelson, wbose land lies cn the creek bottom, boaBts of 40 bushels t) the acre, and Louie La Brash has the same. J Tom Page's big acreage will probably net him 30 bushels, take it all over. George Perringer, of Adams, had in a section of promising grain, one half of which went 30 buBhels and the other 33. 44p Juniper and Vansycle neighbor hoods grain is badly shriveled, many fields not making more than 12 bushels to the acre.

Arnold, an old re spected Umatilla county pioneer, fre quently honored by the people by elec tion to public office, was interred yester day in Olney cemetery, Pendleton, Rev. M. G. Royal officiating at the service which was conducted at the house at 2 :30 o'clock. There was a very large attend ance of Free Masons, old residents and business men. John O. Arnold came to Umatilla coun ty in 1857 and shortly after was appoint ed county school superintendent to fill a vacancy. The distance! to bs traveled in visiting the schools was about 200 miles and the fees amounted to the handsome sum of $125 a year, and no allowances were made for office rent, wood or lights. In 1878 he was elected to the same office and again in 1878 and 1882. In 1886 he was elected county surveyor, also in 1888 and 1890. He was appointed to the of fice of surveyor-general of Oregon, a fed eral position two years ago, holding the office at the time of his death. He made a valuable map of Umatilla county while county surveyor, and was engaged in a complete map of Oregon at the time of bis death. He was noted as a man who performed every public duty with a thoroughness which on ad -4 his work always pass as exactly authorita tive. Mathematics was his' peculiar penchant and he was perhaps as good a mathematician as there was in Oregon. Held Up. . Depot Agent Chas. Gates, of Adams, bad an experience with a highwayman a'' the depot at that place Tuesday night which he will remember for some tims. The east-bound train was pulling out and Gates picked up the mail pouch to place it in tbe depot wben the command, "Gates, hold up your hands," came from a fellow with a levelled revolver. Char lie thought it was some acquaintance who was in for some fun ; but at the crack of the pistol it looked different. Gates struck the robber with the pouch and knocked his hat off Another shot was fire t, when the sta'ioa aj-ni'd wife appeared on the scene and tbe robber disappeared in tbe darkness, wiihout having accomplished his purpose. Tbe mail pouch was undoubtedly what ho was after. Gates came to Athena and aroused James Stamper, who went down but no trace of the highwayman could be found. Ilia hat was cloeetly examined and revealed numerous drawings on the outside, together with several name, among which was "John Evans," "Jesse Vaughn" and others. The bat, which is a cheap c-invas affair, is tbe on ly clue the robber left. rL Returned from Helena. r3. C. Oaburn returned from Helen. Montana, Saturday nipht.

Portland Exposition. Tbe Oregon Industrial Exposition will open at Portland Saturday evening, Sep tember 19, and continue one month.

Frequent ex cursions at extremely low rates of fare will be run on all railroads, and special rates will be given at other times on all lines in Oregon, Washington and Idaho. Both in the variety and quality of the exhibits and in its special attractions the Fair will be far superior to any of its predecessors. - Struck By Lightning. East Oregonian : Word was brought in to Pendleton this morning by Wil liam Temple that a son of A. T. Perkins was struck by lightning this forenoon and was lying unconscious at the ranch from the effects of the action of the sub tle fluid. A physician went immediately to the place. No word has been received as to whether or not the young man will recover. It appears that young Perkins was driving a water tank for a threshing crew, wben a thunderstorm came up and several vivid flashes of lightcing came across the sky. One of the currents struck Perkins, throwing him violently to the ground. The team ran away and considerable excitement ensued. Mr. Temple came hurridely for a physician and word is now awaited concerning the condition of young Perkins. Sam Mansfield Dead. Word came from Colfax, by telephone, that Sam Mansfield had died at that place yesterday at 3:30 p. m., of heart failure. The remains will arrive in this city for burial on tomorrow morning's passenger. Tbe deceased is well known on the Pacific coast.' He at one time had business in Athena, and made many friends in Umatilla county. He is a brother of B. F. and Frank ManBQeld. Afraid to Open his Mouth. Mr. Charles H. Carter, speaking of his trip to Yellowstone Park yesterday, says the Tribune, said that it was impossible to describe the scenery of that country becanee it was so entirely different from anything he bad feen before. He found Montana full of free eilver bowlers. So much so, in fact, '.hit he was afraid to open his mouth in a discussion. Files Second Petition. The county court j was Tuesday peti tioned for the second time to remove Gilbert Mintborn from the guardianship of the two children of Rose Minthorn, deceased, and to appoint Obarlas McCon ville in his stead. The court dismissed the first petition because tbe fees for fil ing the same had not been paid. Sues for a Divorce. Riene Rivers Tuesday brought suit for divorce from Frank Rivers. The com plaint alleges that Mr. and Mrs. Rivers were married io Walla Walla in 1892, and charges that the defendant deserted and abandoned his wife without cause July 24, 1895. There are no children by the marriage. A Wife Equal to a Qold Mine. Will some of your readers give me a good recipe for making cold starch? I am Belling self-heating fiat irons and iron a little at every jhouee and have to use some starch every place and want to know how to make good cold starch. My husband was in debt and I being anxious to help him thought I would sell self-heating flat irons, and I am doing splendidly. A cent's worth of fuel will heat the Iron for three hours, so you have a perfectly even heat. You can iron in half the time and no danger of scorching the clothes as with the old iron, and yon can get the most beautiful gloss. I sell at nearly every house, as the iron eaves so ranch fuel everybody wants one. I make $1 50 on each iron and have not sold less than ten any day I worked. My brother is doing well and I think anyone can make lots of money anywhere selling irons. The J. F.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed con ditio.; of the mucous lining of the Eus tachian Tube. When tbU tube is in flamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entire ly closed, deafness is the result, and unlees the inflammation can be token out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed for ever; nine oases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflam ed condition of the mucous surfnres.

An Invalided Fiaherman's tag enlotu D loa for Continuing- Bit Sport. A cheerful example of ingenuity In "making the best of it" is to bo seen at an apartment house on Spruce street. It takes the form of a long," light fish ing rod fixed to one of the window frames of a room on the third story in such a way that the line depending from it dangles over the sidewalk a trifle less than seven feet from the ground, says the New York Sun. At the hook end of the line there Is fixed a light wire basket and at the butt end of the pole there sits an in valid, chained to his chair by paralysis of the legs. In his active days the in valid was a grreat fisherman, and, as his wife is old and feeble, too, it has been the old fisherman's fancy to rig up this pole and set it for bites. They come in the shape of the morning and evening papers, his mail, messages from old cronies who know his whim, and email parcels from the neighboring trades men, who also know his fancy. When the old Waltonian is wheeled in his chair to the window in the morn ing his first glance is down at the basket to see if there is any bite. There nearly always is, and then the window is opened, no matter what the weather may be, the line is wound in on the reel until it reaches the end ring on the pole, and then the "fish" is dex terously landed. Sometimes, so the neighbors say, the old fisherman makes believe to "play" with tho catch; and when, one day, a friend loaded down the basket with a shad that really required a good deal of skill to haul in, the invalid fisherman was so overjoyed when he did land it that he could do nothing but smile for the rest of the day. Tho cold spell has bothered him a little, but when last seen, during the recent high cold winds, he had a heavy fur cap pulled down over his ears, a woolen comforter wound around his neck, fur gauntlets on hia hands, and was hauling in a package of tobacco and a letter with all the con centrated Interest of a true angler hav-i ing it out with a gamy fish. Effect of FaabJon. How quickly a fashion makes the wheels of trade go round! In a Phila delphia trolley car discussion the other day a man said: "Yes, my brother's mill is busy. He has orders for ono thousand five hundred pieces ahead, and he makes three thousand three hundred and fifty yards a dayl no makes crinoline hair cloth." Now, a year ago this would scarcely have been an item, but the enormous amount of cloth used now in stiffening out the hems of women's dresses and for lining the entire back of the skirt of gowns causes this demand. It is a com promise, of course, between classio folds and hoops that tho crinoline comes in to fill. the Record We Make this Effort SUPPLIES, New goods constantly arriving, which we offer you at BED ROCK PRICES, at the tore, s p chicks and turkeys annually hatched, die fa 20 Y'rds for One Boll ' r 'FILM Athena, Oregon. wn.Tl
