THE PRIZE WINnIrS.
Much Interest' Manifested in tha Draw
ing. Tbe prises are gone. They are now
tbe personal property of those who wear
the titles of "the lucky ones." The
principal topic in the stores during trad
ing hours, for the past two weeks, waa
about prizes and guesses.
THB NEW STORK
put np as a prize, a beautiful sewing
machine. With every dollars worth of
goods purchased, the purchaser was
given a ticset, entitling him or her, as
the case might be, a chanca on the
machine. Ticket No. 1820 drew the
the machine, and Henry Barrett was
lucky holder.
AT MAX LEWIS'S
tbe central feature of interest for the
past six weeks, haa been a glass jar
containing common white beans some
times called winter strawberries, and
aieo anown Dy otner naxes, more or
less familiar. Two prizes were offered
by Mr. Lswin to his customers : a ladies'
gold watch ana a gentleman's gold
watch. Xbe guesses, of course varied.
some loonina away into tbe thousands
The jar contained exactly 2947 beans
and Mr. George Foster made precisely
tbat guess, no more nor less, and waa
promptly awarded the gentleman's fine
gold watch. Sam Purdy was next
the closest guesser, with 2945,. and was
the lucky person on whom the ladie'a
gold watch was bestowed.
THE JKLLY CLASS
at HoUis', would have laughed many
time had it been capable of doing so, at
some of the extiavagant guesses that
were promiscuously hurled at tbe number
of pins which were sealed up within it.
One gay fellow and somewhat of a
mathematician, too after carefully cal
culating and meditating, estimated
only 12,000 pins in tbe jar-
but there wasn't. Ibere were 1028 pina
in the little glass, and T. J. Kirk and
K. O. Hawks tied for the $50 "pin
money" that went with the pins. Mr.
Kirk gueased 1625 and Mr. Hawks
1631 each of themthres within the
actual number. The money was divided
equally between them, and it ia pre
sumed they gave the money to their
wives. If they haven't, they should.
for its nothing but "pin money," and a
man has no use whatever for that.

beld chances on the floe set of dishes
of 101 pieces, to wonder if it ever would
melt down. But the candle said noth
ing. It kept on burning and advertising
the tsrict urocery store, until finally.
alter the wax had been absorbed by the

having burned continuously for li9

STRAIGHT FACTS.
TOLD IN A
STRAIGHTFORWARD
WAY.
Cro.-seyes Made Straight in On Min
ute Without Pain by Or. Oarrin
EastOregonian.'
It is a straight fact that Dr. Darrin,
who is now at Hotel Pendleton, is one
of taa most successful operates in the;
straightening of crosseyes. Owing to the fable treasures oald to be present where
fact tbat be was unable to attend to all the northern lights" shoot their gleam
the patients who called for treatment 1 ing flishes toward heaven's old sky.
JJecember Zi, ZSana 29, tbe three days
set apart for that special work, he has
been prevailed npon to aet other dates
for a like purpose. Consequently Janu
ary 11, 12 and 13 have been decided
npon by him as the dates upon which 1
he will perform operations for crosseyea
Persona afflicted who were unsble to at
tend upon the former datea will do well
to bear in mind January 11, 12 and 13.
They may never again have the privilege
of availing themselves of such an oppor
tunity to rid themselves of an annoying
and obnoxious deformity, without pain,
and without loss of time from business.
Crowds throng Dr. Darrin'a office
coming from Pilot Bock, Umatillt,
Adams, Vansycle, Helix, Alliens, Echo
and many other .neighboring villaa.
The. fame of Dr. Darrin has preceded
him and the cures he is effecting are
having a startling effect npon the
friends of thoce who have been success
fully treated. Almost 100 persons vis
ited bun last Monday for treatment, of
whom the greater number were currd,
some were relieved, while those whose
caeoo were hopeless were informed of
that fact. Ha does not take a case uu
less he can relieve or permanently cure
the patient.
One particular case treated deserves
special mention. The little daughter of
J. P. Whittemore, the well known roiik
man of Pendleton, waa afflicted with
crosseyea, and had been for years. Tin
deformity kept growing, 10 as to maks it
imposeibb for the little girl to do any
studying or reading at night, and to
keep up with her classes in school. B Ah
eyes were operated npon by Dr. Darrin
The effect waa almost instantaneous and
now hsi eyes are as straight as those of
any little miss in Pendleton. She stated
also, that tbe operation was performed
without pain. Her relatives, as well as
herself, are delighted.
Athena, Dec. 29, 1897.
Dr. Darrin, Pendleton, Ore.
Dear Sir: I wish to thank you for the
successful operation on my left eye that
had been crossed ever since I can re
member and, I am now 10 years old.
Your treatment caused me no pain I
whatever and yon made my eye straight
quickly. I shall recommend all the
cross eyed persons that I know to come
to you and be cured of their deformity.
I am so happy, tbat my eyes are as
straight as any one's eyes.
Your little patient,
Nellie Royee. .
Mr. Editor: I was present and wit'
neBeed the cure of crosa eye, on the per
son of little Nellie Boyse, who lives in
Atbena. The operation was done in cne
minute, and without the least pain. I
reside in Athena, and can be referred to.
Mrs. M. L. Leeptr.
CHBIS BREEDING A HAPPY MAN.
Mr. Editor: My boy was cured of an
eye trouble by Dr. Darrin and I am cor
respondingly happy. The boy got con
centrated lye in bis eye yeais ago, and
both lids grew fast to tbe ball, so tbat he
bad practically no nse of his oye. After
an application of cocaine an operation
was performed by' Dr. LUrrin. He cut
both the upper and lower lid loose from
tbe ball clear around. The effect was
magical, as the boy was given his com
plete sight almost instantaneously and
without pain. I reside eight miles north
of Pendleton and will verify this state
ment. - Chris Breeding.
To the Public: Tois is to certify that
Dr. Darrin removed a fleshy growth
from my eye. The growth bad been
growing about six years. I am well
satisfied with Dr. Darrin and his treat
ment. Can be referred to at Alb i, Oregon.-
- Ed. Ripley.
Pendleton. Or.. Dec. 30. 1897. For ths
Benefit of the Public: My daughter's
eyes were crossed from birth. When
Dr. Darrin came to our city, I took her
to him. He straightened them within a
few minutes. Thus I advise parents,
who bave children with afflicted eyes, to
consult him. Mre. J. P. Whittemore.
This is to certify that I was born
crosseyed, and that Dr. Darrin, at Pen
dleton, has cured me in five minutes.

A Surprica Party.
Last Tbnrsday night about thirty
friends of Mr. and Mrs. A. D. Pinkerton
surprised them by congregating at their
home simultaneously with baskets filled
with good things to eat. and the an
nouncement tbat they had come to

in dancing and a splendid supper was
discussed.
As Others See Us.
Mark M. Boyd, for the p4t year fore-
man of the Sumpter News, departed by
yesterday's wert bound train for Ahena
Umatilla county, where be has accepted
the position of foreman of tbe Athens
Pskxh. Mr. Boyd thinks he ill find it
agreeable to labor in that live town
1,600 inhabitants. Tbe town is on ths
line of railroad between Pendleton -an !
Walla Walla and is ;ooe of the biggest
shipping points of wheat of which cereal
Umatilla county last year had a yield
worth $3 750,000 or more valuable than
that season's output of gold from the
roach vaunted Klondike. Bat Uma
tilla's wealth like the 13,000.000 of gold
in 1897 from the Biker district, and
other rich products from our forestJ,
grain fields, orchards and stock farms,
is not so largely in evidence to the world
as the glittering and to some extent
Baker City Democrat.
A CHANCE.
A Probable Opportunity for the Reader
to Make Mon;y.
The ending for us of five years of
business in Pendleton is near at hand,
February 4, and as we have accumu
lated some styles and some short lines
of shoes, tbat it is necessary to get out
of tbe stors by cutting the prices below
wiiat such goods can be bought' lot, we
will commence on January 3,. and con
tinue nntil February 1, a spot cash sale.
We mean that for cash paid at time of
purchase we will sell shoes at prices be
low anything ever offered in Pendleton.
. We do not mean everything in tbe
store will be sold below cewt. for they
won't but we do mean there will be sev
eral bundrel styles tbat can be bought
of na during this sale for less money
than we paid for them, and as we buy
shoes for less money than any one in
I'endleton Ibis affords the reason why we
sell lor less.
We are going to sell more shoes in
January than we did last year and that
is a big job, for we did a big business
last year.
If you need shoes in the next three
months you can save money by coming
to see if we are lying about this eale.
Thanking you for your patronage for
the past year, and asking the continu
auce of the same for the present one,
and wishing you all a happy and pros
perous New Year, we are,
. Yours for business,
