Ibis Celebrated and Well Known Sped, alist to Visit Pendleton Again, Stop ping at Hotel Pendleton June 15th to July 17th. , . Through the urgent request of many in this vicinity, Dr. Darrin has been prevailed upon to visit Pendleton again. Those wishing to consult the doctor will find it to their advantage to Call oa him while here, as this will be his last visit before returning to the head office in Portland. He comes to us laden with testimoni als from throughout 'the whole North west, and the authenticated reports of some of his cures seem nothing short of miraculous. There are few ills to which human flesh is heir, which cannot be re lieved and permanently cured by Dr. Damn's electrical treatment, and cases that have resisted the efforts of ordinary physicians have yielded to bis power. These cases embrace almost every kind of disease, and as said before, no man, woman nor child need despair of relief and cure, while Dr. Darrin offers his invaluable services. V i Unlike other physicians who have become eminent in their profession, the doctor's prices are extremely moderate and reasonable, according to circum stances and ability to pay. He will not undertake any cases that he cannot cure or benefit. Consultation is free, and should there be any cases that are in curable, he will immediately discover tbem, thus saving his patients any further espenditure of time and money, which they might otherwise squander. For the benefit of those who are not already acquainted with the doctor's mode of operating with electricity and who may be seeking aid, thou ga dis trustful, after many failures of every body and everything, Dr. Darrin makes the most extraordinary and . most gen erous offer to treat the first case of ca tarrh, deafness, dyspepsia, rheumatiem and neuralgia free of charge on the day of bis arrival to the city ; and lie also makes a liberal offer to treat the worthy poor free between the hours of 10 and 11 a. m. daily to prove to the community I at large his ability and skill. Dr. Darrin makes a specialty of all diseases of the eye, ear, nose, throat catarrh, deafness, bronchitis, legrippe, consumption, dyspepsia, constipation, heart, liver and kidney diseases ; and permanently cares all diseases of the genito-urinary organs in either sex. each as syphilis, blood taints, scrofula, gleet, gonorrhoea, stricture, seminal, weakness, spermatorrhoea, loss of man bood and loss of desire or sexual power in man or woman. Ail peculiar female troubles, irregular menstruation, lencorrboea, displace ment, etc., are confidently treated, as well as all acute, chronic and nervous diseaees of whatever nature, if cnrabls; no cases if not enrable. Consultation free. Office boors are 10 a. to. to 5 p. m. Evening, 7 to 8. Sunday, 10 a. m. to 3 p. ra. Most cases een be treated at home after one visit to the doctor's office All business relations with Dr. Darrin are strictly confidential li RESULT; OF ELECTIOII .

Geer, republican, is elected by plurality approaching 10,000, and the entire state ticket is elected by pluralities slightly below that of Geer. Moody and Tongue are both elected to congress, the former by prob ably 4000 and the latter by about 2000. The legislature ts overwhelmingly repub lican in both houses, and Is made, up about as follows ; ? ! ? t - Senate republicans 24, opposition 6. House republicans 45, opposition 15. These figures may . be slightly changed. ; ;' 1 K. , J j . W. S. Mason is elected mayor uf Port land by about 1500 plurality and the en tire republican legislative ticket is elected in this county with the possible exception of state senator. Late returns from the interior show that Geer for governor has a plurality in every county in the state, with the ex ception of Douglas, Josephine, Malheur, Harney, Wallowa; and probably Baker. Tongue, for Congress, will carry every county in the first congressional district, except Douglas and Josephine. la tbe second district Moody will carry every county, except possibly Wallowa, Harney, Malheur and Baker. . In Multnomah county , Geer and Moody have polled nearly two votes to one for their opponents. Joe Simon is undoubtedly elected state .senator from Multnomah county. As far as counted Simon has a plurality of 800. A. L. Frazier, M. 0. George and J. B. Cleland, all republicans are elected Judges of the circuit court by from 500 to 1000 majority. W. M. Cake, anti-Simon candidate for county judge, is undoubtedly elected by a small majority. Nine republican representatives are elected. The other county officers are divided between the two factions of the republican party. ' THE CODNTV. The returns show tbs unionists have elected Maloney, recorder ; Blakeley, sheriff, and Stlllmsn, representative. The republicans will fill the rest of the county offices. , - . - THB ATHJSA VOTK. ,,,, For candidates on the county ticket Athena's two precincts pilsd np old-time majorities, but on the head of tbe ticket tbe republicans were successful in gain ng.

A Large Audience Gathered and Lis tened to an Excellant Program. .Weston, Ore., June 9. Special ' By far the largest! crowd yet assembled for the. normal exercises, greeted tbe middle year class, for the opera house was packed with a large audience. The decorations were under the direc tion of the class, and were very attrac tive. Above the stage and to the front, stood out in bold relief tbe class motto, made of ferns and pansies, "Today on the Foothill, Tomorrow on the Moun tain." The back of the stage was taste fully draped with a large curtain of royal purple bunting, ' and all around this festoons of . green bunting, caught in place here and there with lovely flowers. Entrances to the etao on either side were similarly draped. When the curtain rose there was pre sented to our view one of the finest claesesof young men and women, twenty present, tiro being detained at home by illness. Flowers and class colors, purple and green, were conspicuous in the per sonal adornment. " Prof. Royal introduced Dr. Penrose, of Whitman college, who expected io address the pupils and friends today. Through some mistake, Dr. Pan rose arrived in Weston yesterday and was obliged to return to Walla Walfa today, consequently he made only a few re marks before tbe opening exercise. His bearers never tire of Mr. Otis Ingle's playing, aud fully enjoyed his piano solo, "Calirrhoe." The oration, "Character, the Element of Success," was bandied in a finished manner by Benj. F, Brown, and foretells a brilliant future for him Probably the most enjoyable to the pupils and tbe class, was .the ersay of Miss Susan Dunn, "The Class of '09, Ten Years Heace," and we cannot far bear quoting from it. She refers to the eighteenth anniversary of the schools, and in '99, Weston has shown signs of awakening from sleep and donned her gayest garments, and now the word city scarcely expresses the advancement. Towering above ell is the magnificent normal building. President Royal J eti Jl has charge. Mr. Nye Wilder is now a famed historian, having written a fine Cuban history. Mies Mary Kets is a missionary in Cuba. The two world renowned lawyers are Preston and DeGraw. Searching for geological spec imens Ben Harder. Miss Millie Grots has made, nams iamoua. all ; over the world as ji eingejrwTbe author of the class is Ida Kilgore. The class editor is Ralph Baling. Fannie' Scotti, the well knowrj philanthropists Grace McElroy is destined to be a Raphael. The spot lees ermine is ( worn by. Alvha. Stone. Two of the class are. benefastore f mankind, as they are noted ' bhysicians, vk:':Ml0B Viva Warren and Mies Maude Rryson. i The divine nature and genins. of the ,poet is j revealed in the writings of ,J2va Woodard. , A typical teacher is found in the person of Benj. Browni The standard of a Frances Willard is borne by Itol Shntrum. j Effie Momford has developed into a noted astronomsi. ,,The t 9! .oratory has ee: cured fame for its possessor, Robert Wills. Stella Morgan as an explorer, has made her names immortal by plant ing the stark and t. tripes 'at the' North Pole. iAs . a minister of i tbe gospel, Artha-ScoU.lias-ftde a lasting name. Mr,(. Robert Wills' .I'Parpdy, on Maud Muller;" was excellent, ' ,, , 1 ' ".The idstiumehtal trio, Miss Butler and Mies Priiton, with gnitara, and Miss Etta DeOraw, the banjo waa thoroughly enjoyed because it was out of the com mon run, and bo well rendered. , " Alvin Stone, so well known in 'Athena? distinguished 'himseU in . his' oration, "The Sunny Alps," and showed talent both In writing and 'delivery.'' i' ' j !,h. , Mies Viva Warren, in a very creditable manner spoke ''Thirty Years . With a Shrew," and entertained her hearers in a pleasiog manner. The quartet "Be Happy Today," was sung feelingly by Millie Gross, Fannie Scott, Otis Ingle and ; Arthur , Scott. We thought .we would have one patriotic piece, "Up and Down Old Brandiwine," and roars of laughter greeted Nye Wilder when he appeared In a most outlandish garb, and told of his boyhood days "Up and Down Old Brandiwine.' ; One of the best numbers was the es say "Life of Frances E. Willard.'' , by Miaa Eva Woodard. Tbe wording "8 enpcciallr fine and her delivery showed she .'was thoroughly inbned with her subject. -,,.;;',, ' , ...'. : .. . Mies Arthurs contributed a vocal solo. - Again is the uutiring effort of Miss Butler ehowu in the boautiful drill ol the "Vestal Virgins," each dressed in Gre cian costume of white trimmed in gilt and girdles of rope; each bearing a candle. The; poBing was after a manner Delsarte, and words can scarcely ex press the beauty of the grouping of statuary and the "Gallery of tbe Muse?," representing the different muses.1 The audience was charmed by this part of the evening's entertainment. Miss Butler has spent hours of anxiety and care to make this a succcbs, and to her the credit is due. Tonight will be the regular graduating exercises. ; , GRAND JURY SELECTED, Proceedings of tho Firtt Day of the June Court.

Speclal.t - Probably the largest concourse of people that ever assembled in Weston, .were there yester day, to witneea the tinveiling ..of the beautiful monument erected by the Woodmen, to ' the memory of.' their late neighbor,1 -John1'; 0.' Rowling.' R '"Adams Camp, No. 63, of which he was sT mem ber, had ohargOf of , th exetciseB, with Neighbor D. ,0. Kirk as master1:o( cere monies. The procession formed at the Woodmen ' hall headed by the .Adams band, followed 'by ' Adams, Athena and Weston camps. At. the ' cemetery, tbe line was broken, to make room for Jolly Circle No. 137, and Athena Ch-cle No. 10, when the march was taken up, and the members of Adams camp, followed by all camps and circles, formed the wedge, around tho grave. The . Adams band played "Oh Think of a Home Over There," after whioh the Weston choir of eight voices sang. Tbe opening addreso' was made by Consul Commander Johnson. The quartette consisting of Neighbors Maud Stanfield, Ellen Hales, Ferguson and Anderson, sang very feelingly. Clerk Odburn read the beautiful poem "Oh, Why Should the Spirit of Mortal Be Proud," and after the order to lift the veil and let God's nun shine upon It tbe band played, followed by, the touching song "One Placa Is Vacant," by the Adams choir. The consul commander stepped forward and read: "John Charles Bowling, born February 2; 1850, died April 10, 1897 ; erected in love, honor and remembrance by the Wood men of the World; dura tacit clamat," and then. dedicated the monument in love, honor and remembrance. Neigh bor Morrison annointed it' with oil and Neighbor Curl ahowered it with pure waier, emoiemauu oi tne teara shed. It was the . intention to have the ad dress delivered in the opera house, but the order was changed aud Head Escort A. D, Stillman was introduced, and was listened to very intently by the throng of about 1000 people. We quote a part of his address : , lt ,. "It is fitting that once a year, at least, we should throw aside our cares, and loarn our lessons for the future. Larger and finer monuments have been erected, but we, as a fraternity, erect this as a fitting memorial to" our deceased neigh bor. J. O. Bowling, while walking the plane of life with all of us, possessed those good qualities which we meet with every day, Little did he think." how much good would come to his loved ones, so quickly from that wbfch he gave from day to day to help others. I nm here today to speak for my friend Charley Bowling, for be is worthy of this monu ment. As we look over the long path way of tho past, we learn to read the book that is spread out before us. As citizens of the great republic, we will take our places for the betterment and advancement of all mankind.' Some one has said three , hundred years would change tho character of a whole conti nent. Already we might say therein nant of that people has marched toward the setting eun, the last of the peculiar people dies and they are forgotten. They lived in small communities and selfishly, and no monuments are left to mark their resting places and mankind is no better that thoy lived. With such men as lie beneath these beautiful flowers, it will be different.'". This la death, yet it is such occasions that' make death less terrible. While hn lived making the self sacrifices, so whuti the summons tamo he waa prepared,- and only to the man unprepared is Utath terrible, likewise it is only in the mind of tbe man who looked not into the fu ture, Is there terror of daath, but With us is the white dove the emblem of purity, which soars above to the heavens. "Come to the bridal chamber, death, Come to the mother when she feels For the first time her first-bora's breath ; Come when the hlei jd seals '.'.'hich close the pedtiieace are broke, And crowded citi?o waif its stroke; Corns when the heartbeats high and warm, With banquet son, and dance and wine, And thou art terrible ; tha tear, The groan, the knell, tbe pall, the bier, And ail we know, or dream or ear , . Of sgony, art thine.- . "That was truo, but when a man has learned to live.be knows that he has lived so the noble band of brothers will never let the wolves of hunger bowl around the door of his loved ones, and for such death has no terrors, aud to this ratcea we come contemplating ttie goot that sometimes lives afterwards. lie knows that his friends from year to yi-r, will for all time teach the world his good ness from this monument ; it will stand as a lesson, and the world will be better that be lived. No hero who dies in the field has a greater tribute paid himt for here are represented aoveu camps and circles assembled to do him honor, and be has a place in tho heart of every one of them. For oris who lived as he did it Is easy to face the other world. "Go not as the quarry slave, at night Scourged to his dungeon, but sustained and toothed By au unfaltering trust, approach thy. grave. Like one who wraps the drapery of 11a couch About him .lies down to pleasant dreams." After siegtog "llok of Ai-e" the ex etclurs clueud.
