A TEACHER'S INSTITUTE
To be Held in Milton, Com
mencing Tuesday.
WKBTOH LEADBB.
Last Sunday a son wai bora to Mr.
and Mrs. J. N. York, at their home near
Weaton.
Wm. Allen has a fine field ot potatoes
on Wild Horse. His "spuds" are said
to be the beet in the country una season
W ara clad to learn that Ira Hender
son. who has been danserously ill from
typhoid lever, is much improved. His
recovery is said to be assured by ftood
nursing and careiui diet.
Miss Ella Craigen has been engaged as
teacher for the school in district No. 36,
on Wild Horse mountain. Miss Uraigen
was granted a certificate at the recent
examination in rend le ton.
Mies Mabel Kelson and Miss Stella
Wells have completed their summer term
in the Parkes summer training school of
Ohicaeo. and after visiting mends in
Ohio and Kansas for two or three weeks
will start for home.
At a recent meeting of the Weaton pnb
lie school board Miss Jennie Churchill of
San Jose, California, was elected to a
position in our school. Miss Churchill
has excellent credentials for school work
and is endorsed by Miss Agnes Stowell
of the Eastern Oregon State Normal
School.
The brickyard is now in operation
with a force of six men, under II. B. Nel
son's management. The Leader hopes
to see this industry grow to something
like its former proportions ; and if there
is any building in near-by cities, there
will certainly be a demand for Weston's
famous brick.
Two hobos attempted to hold up the
Weston station agent, Relief Agent A1c
Kenna, near the depot Tuesday night.
The bright moonlight reiiection from a
six-shooter in the hands of the doughty
railroad man, quickly made the would-be
Uw-breakfcrs vanish in the shadows.
They had tackled the wrong man.
Tbe song of the bob-white has bpen
heard lately in various places in the vi
cinity of Weston, reminding old settlers
of th old days "in tbe states" when this
delicious game bird was often found on
the table and greatly esteemed for its
' euiole qualities. 1 tie quail in an invol
untary exile to this coast and his pres
ence amongst us is, is no doubt, due to
tbe enterprise of Mrs. C. Do U raw of this
- place. About seven years sgo Mrs, Da
Oraw was on a visit to her old home in
Kansas ; when she started on her return
to Oregon, one dozen quails were shipped
as pare ot tier baggage, l uey had been
ciught and caged for the journey and
cloven lived to get througb aud were
turned Ioobo on the DeUraw farm three
miles south of this place. It is to be
hoped that the bob-white will become
duly established here and that the pot
hnuter will let him alone and give him a
cbance to multiply.

Born, in this city, on Saturday, August
15, to the wife of Prof. S. S. Shields, a
daughter.
Hon. J, II. Lanater died at his home in
Walla Walla at 6 o'clock yesterday morn
ing, from exhaustion after a long illness.
Several years ago he suffered a stroke of
paralysis from whioi he never recovered.
St. Elmo Walden has just finished a 50
day term in tbe county Jail for the lar
ceny of some harnes. He was liberatod
the first of the week and returned to his
home below town.
Indications are that the autum rains
will set in early this season and farmers
will do well to bouse their grain as soon
as possible. This prophecy is not guar
antied absolutely infallible, but such are
the signs of the times.
Typhoid fever is raging to an alarming
ex'.ent in Walla Walla, and the States
roan thioks it is largely due to the prac
tice of using the streams that flow
through the city for sewers. The States
man is doubtless correct in its surmixes.
Ninety gallons of canned huckleberries
were brought from the mountains laet
week by the D. J. Phelps and George
Edwards camping party, as follows: Geo.
Edwards. 30; Rob. Carter, 6 j W. E. Mil
lnr, 30; Miss Josie Myers, 6; D. J.
Phelps 18.
The Eastern Oregon Fruit Growers'
Union and Mr. Howard Evans, shipped
a car load of mixed fruits Wednesday.
It was connigned to dealers in Butte,
Montana. The demand for fruit contin
lies steady in that section and prices are
fairily fc-ooil.
Mrs. J. E. Cherry and Miss May Me
(i wry, went to the mountains last week
for a period of recreataion, Landlord
McQuary, of the Hotel Milton, drove the
ladies to their camp in his wagon end
after seeing them comfortably located re
turned home Monday evening.
A fewewollows from the fiery contents
of apeppirsauce bottle came near sending
young Clarence Walter to "the land that
is fairer than day" Monday evening.
Walter was with a crowd of "bloods" on
the occasion referred to, an J said bloods
conceived the Idea of "filling him up"
w ith whiskey just for fun.
Rob Chapman is a very sick man, in
deed. For the past week his life has
hung in the hahnce, and even now the
attending pliysiciac, Dr. Plimell, is not
at alt certain that he will pull through.
His ailment is a relapse of the measles '
which alterward developed into typhoid
fever.
The Infant daughter of Mr. aud Mrs
Roll Fellows hit a portion of her tongue
almost off Monday as a result of a fall
from a high chair. Dr. Thomas d reefed
the wound and endeavored to retain the
nearly detached portion, but found this
latter could not be accomplished aud
yesterday cut them off. While the ac
cident was a severe one the loss of the
parts of tongue will in no wife interfere
with the little one's sneech when the
time comes for her to learn to talk.

WANTS HER CATTLE BACK.
Mrs. Abrahamson, of Weston, Brings
Suit Against Constables of That
City.
Thursday afternoon and Friday morn
ing was the scene of a 1 tw suit in Fend
leton which was replete with funny situs
tions, says the Tribune, the most comical
of dialogues and hard lighting between
ooDOsina counsel which made it enter
taining to the many curious onlookers.
Mrs. Abrahamson was bringing suit
against Constables Stamper of Athena and
Logan of Weston, to recover from them
several head of cattle, claimed by tbe
plaintiff under a bill of sale, and which
had been taken in proceedings brought
against Mrs. Abrahamson's son, Chris
Peterson. The taking of testimony con
sumed some six hours and tbe jury, after
being out tbree or lour hours brought in
a verdict ordering tbat the cattle he re
stored to the plaintiff, or their value - $106
J. H. Raley was counsel for plaintiff and
Squire Powers, of Weston, and Judge Fee
were counsel for defendants. The com
plaint had described seven head, while
.. . i 1, i
imc ADranamBon, wuen on me eiano,
testified to eight being taken and depcnb
ed each. Judge Fee drew atteniiou to
the variance and La vyer Kaley moved
the court to allow the complaint to be
amended. Judge Fee objected. Justice
Parkes allowed the motion.
"Well, you will put this on your re
cords," said Judge Fee.
"These proceedings will be ehown,
jndge, just the same as all others," re
plied the justice.
"You will show that you overruled the
motion at one time,", continued Judge
Fee.
"Yes, and I will show why I did allow
it at this time," returned tbe Justice.
Squire Powers caused some amusement
by trying to have traced the ancestry ot
the stock, but with Mr. Abrahamson on
the stand he had a hard road to travel.
The witness frequently met the pointed
questions by "Can't forstand it." To the
interrogative "how old is the cow?" he
answered :
"Oh, I tank so; that's he may be, but
I canna say. May ba four year olt. I
I selly to Chris Peterson. That I canna
day at all. I canna say at it."
Squire Powers after trying to show that
the cattle had been transferred to defraud
the eon's creditor, declared that "that
action had been conceived in sin and
given birth to in iniquity."
Churning Done in One Minute.
I have tried the Lightning Churn, yon
recently described in your paper, and it
is certainly a wonder. I can churn in
less than one minute, and the butter is
elegant, and you get considerably more
butter than when you use a common
churn.. I took the agency for the churn
hers and every butter maker that oeej it
buys one. I have sold three dozen and
they give the best of satisfaction I know
I can sell 100 in this township, as they
churn so quickly, make so much more
butter than common churns and are so
cheap. Some one in every township can
make two or three hundred dollars sell
ing these churns. By addressing J, F,
Casey A Co., St. Louis, Mo., yon can get
circulars and full information so you can
make big money right at home. I have
made 5W0 in the past two weeks and I
never sold anything before in my life.

CHASED BY A MAD BULL.
Berry Gholson's Exciting Experience
Near His Home.
From the Walla Walla Statesman, we
learn of a rather exciting experience
which fell to tbe lot of Berry Gholson, a
brother of our Billy Gholson. Mr Ghol
son, who lives near Walia Walla, return
ed from Ellensburg, and having remain
ed in town until nearly dusk, set out to
walk home. When a short distance from
his residence he thought be would make
a short cut by going through the pasture.
He had gone but half way across when a
large Jersey bull, observing tbe intruder
in bis domain, made a mad rush at mm.
Berry took to bis heels and ran for dear
life, but the bull gained rapidly upon
him. and be was beginning to think tbat
it was all np with him, when he sighted
a post that stood quite well out in the
field. By a supreme effort he reached
this just as the infuriated animal, with
bis bead lowered, was preparing to gore
the fleeing man.
Now began a battle for life. From one
side of tbat post to tbe other Mr. Gholson
iuniDod and dodged while the maddened
bull chasod around and around, bellow
ing with rase as be was again and again
foiled by the artful dodger. Tbe contest
lasted for ten or ulteen minutes. Air
Gboleon all the time shouting to the boys
at the house for help while tbe animal
appeared to be trying to drown his cries
bv louder bellows, lie was last becom
ing exhausted, and was about to sink
down in deeoair wbea a shout from the
house told him that his cries for help had
been beard. His two sons came rushing
out to his rescue, one armed with a rifle
and tbe other with a club. The latter at
first endeavored to persuade the animal
to deBiet, but it had its mind made np to
put an erd to its antagonist then and
there.
Seeing that Mr. Gholson's life could
be saved only by kiling the bull, the rifle
was brought into play, and a well direc
ted ball put an end to the animal's mad
career. Mr. Gholson was very nearly
worn out by bis exciting experience and
says that he wants no more bull bai leg
In bis.
Lost in The Mountains. ,
John Lamb returned from the moun
tains a few days ago, says the Walla
Walla Statesman, and he tells quite an
interesting story of a serious misad
venture of Mr. and Mrs. Turner and Dr.
and Mrs. Frank Rees, who are camping
near tbe tanks.
Five or six days ago the four started
out on a little hunting and fishing tour.
expecting to return to their camp before
night. In some manner they lost thoir
way and were unable to get their bear
ing. They wandered along along after
night eeekipg to strike a familiar path,
but in vain. That night they built a
fire and stood around it till morning.
fearing to lie down to sleep on the cold
ground, as they had left their blankets
behind. They had no food except a little
cornmeal and a law potatoes. The next
day they wandered aimlessly about,
hoping to stumble on to some familiar
landmark, but another night came upon
them still as hopeleesly loat as ever.
They spent another night about the
campfire, taking turns in sleeping Their
meal and potatoes were almost gone, and
they were beginning to despair of even
finding their way out. The next morn
ing they set out again to make a last
desperate effort to reach their camp.
They had not proceeded far when they
came upon a sheep camp, where tbey
found Mr. Motette, who kindly took
them back to the Tanks in his wagon.
Hereafter it is not likely they will ven
ture far from camp without an experi
enced guide.
Thero are some people who are neve r
positive in anything. It is always, ' I
don't know," or "I guess so." There is
a world of such people, and it is refresh
ing sometimes to hear a person speak as
one having convictions, like Mr. Chas.
F. Snyder, of Bangor, Pa , who wrote;
"I can heartily recommend Simmons
Liver Regulator to all who are troubled
with dyspepsia or Liver Complaint."

A Bicycle constructed o! material tbat is solid, tough and wiry;
that is simple in construction, easily taken apart and put together again
has few parts, is of such wiry material tbat its parts will bold together
even in an accident, no hollow material to be crushed in by every con
tact; a frame tbat cannot possibly be broken; a frame so simple that its
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 -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 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 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 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. Tbe 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 contacrwith chain and sprocket, smooth outward globu
lar ball bearings, less motion and
Ihen with the jomtless "one-piece
free from injury. '
ONE-PIECE CRANK. Our great achievement; by its pli
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 to bicycles is from cranks working loose and pedal axles that
break from clamping connections. They get loose co 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 Bteel 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 only 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 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 27 to 30 lbs.
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 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 "Maywoods"
to ona 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 "Maywood" has successfully 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,

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.
