DR. DARRIN COMING.
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

Portland, June 7. 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. , - . -

MIDDLE ' YEAR CLASS.
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. ; ,

- ; Weetou';' June 6. 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.
