W. II. Stamper believas be is havi ng

Francisco, visited the camp with a fine
lunch for the Weston volunteers, which
was a welcome relief from the usual
ton jjne of beans, hardtack and bacon.
EPISCOPAL SOCIAL.
Socially and Financially the Event
Was a Success.
i. "
The social given at the opera bouse
last evening by the ladies of the Episco
pal church was a grand success, both
socially and financially. The hall was
comfortably filled with a happy and
congenial company, and all were in a
proper frame of mind to enjoy the ex
cellent program.
The first number was a recitation by
Mies Florence JoneB, which was very
veil rendered. Miss Florence is a very
graceful speaker and told the story of
"Ruth Banithon's Confession," in an
easy, flowing manner which was high
appreciated, as was evidenced by the en
thusiastic applause.
The second numbor was a song, "Life's
Game of Bee-Saw," by Virgie Stamper,
sung in her own perfect style. By re
quest, Miss Virgie later gave the recita
tion, "The Angels of Buena Vista."
This sad story was given with such
touching pathos and tn eloquence as to
bring tears to the eyes.
.Thomas Bilyeu told what various mo
tive take people to church, and as an
encore, gave the recitation, "The Face
Upon the Floor.' This also was well
received and the applause showed that
Tom also is one of Athena's favorites.
The inetromenlal tiio, by Mis. Hollia
and Misses Wedekind and Huntington,
was a classical selection and was execnt
id with a hiah decree of skill which
showed the finished artiet in each of the
performers.
Miss Alma Kirk gave one of her de
lightfully sweet songs, -and the program
ndad with a recitation, by Miss Jocelyn
Koonti That Mias Koontx possesses the
dramatic power to a high degree, was
evidenced br the thrilling manner m
which she cava this very difficult pro
duction, "Lady Maud's Oath;" holding
the audience soellbound from the begin
plot until the tragic climax. Mias
Koontz' recitations are alays listened
to with delight by her Athena mends.
Receipts of the evening were ?25
The icJ ere am and cake were delicious
and went "like hot cakes," notwith
standing the fact that the evening was
cool. At a tastefully arranged booth,
Mies Bees Proebstel dispensed the dainty
candies for which she is so justly fmed
lor making. . The tables were presided
over by a number of young ladies, too
numerous to mention, who proved their
popularity as presiding angels of the
ices by selling every particle of that
dainty.
We hope these socials will become a
fixed institution and recur with satis
factory regularity daring the summer.
Daring the serving of the refreshments
inspiring music was discoursed by the
Athena orchestra, which added much to
the enjoyment of the evening.

BACCALAUREATE SERMON.
Delivered in Weston Opera House by
' Prof. Royal.
Weston, June 6 Special. Sunday,
the pupils of the Eastern Oregon State
Normal School, assembled in the opera
house to listsn to the Baccalaureate ser
mon, preached by Prof. Royal. Appro .
priate music was rendered by a quartette
consisting of Miss Genevive Arthurs,
Miss May Carmichael, Prof. Royal and
Mr. Ingles. ;
Rer. Whittlesy, pastor of the Congre
gational church, read the first lesson from
Proverbs, 5 chapter, after which Rev.
Homer Gallaber lead in prayer. The
second lesson was taken from the 3
chapter of Revelations, and the 18th
verse. Pres. Royal selected as the text ;
"I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in
the fire, that thou mayest be rich ', and
white raiment that thou mayest be cloth
ed, and that the shame of thy naked
nessdo not appear; and annoint thine
eyes with eye salve, that thou mayest
see."
Pres. Royal's sermon bore strongly on
the formation of character, and diyided
in three parts. First, Gold tried in the
fire which typifies Oi Hats' character and
will stand any test. Second, Regarding
the white raiment,' typifying the inno
cent and pure life of holiness and doubt
less refers to two things, the comfort and
satisfaction of the individual of holy liv.
ing, also the reputation before the world
of those who have the true religiqus
character. The attention of the audience
was here called to the verse, "These are
they which came out of great tribulation,
and have washed their robes, and made
them white in the blood of the lamb."
The third point in the discourse, ' and
Annoint thine eyes with eye salve that
thou mayeat see,'' referred to the open
ing of the understanding and the revela
tion of God in every study pr woik the
student undertakes. - '
Mies Geneveive Arthurs sang a solo in
her ever pleasing manner.
With the benediction then closed the
service for the year 1808.
Prof. Van Winkle as a Mind Reader
Prof. F. 3. Van Winkle, of the chair
of mathematics at the normal, has de
voted considerable study for a year past
to mental telepathy, hypnosis and mes
merism, and has developed remarkable
power. In private tests of late the
professor baa clearly shown that he pos
sesses to a high degree the peculiar abil
ity of the mind reader and hypnotist, in
telepathy his feats being particularly suc
cessful, says the Weaton Leader. .
Last evening, just before dusk, Prof.
Van Winkle essayed publicly one of the
most difficult teats performed by pro
fessional mind readers. A committee
composed, of G. W. Proebstel, H. Wolf
and J. Wi Adams', drove oyer a zig-zag
route to Mr. Proebstel'e residence, where
a knife was hidden. Securely blind
folded by the committee upon their re
turn to Wolf's store, Prof. Van Winkle,
who had been watched in a l ack room,
drove the party over exactly the same
route with the exception of a Blight mis
take in the start due to besitance in the
mind of Mr. Adams. He stopped the
team promptly at the Proebstel resi
dence and entering with the committee,
found the knife.
There was no possibility of deception,
and the test has caased much locil in
terest and wonder.

The Supply cf Beef Stetrt Repotted
Vtry Low in Union County.

the other day, was interviewed by an
K. 0. man. He is reported as saying
that the snpply of beet steers in Union
county is now exhausted and local butch
ers are at their wits' end as to where tbe
supply for home consumption is to come
from. There it considerable stock cat
tle on tbe ranges, but these cannot be
drawn np for beef cattle. He bas been
lately shipping a good many carloads to
Woods Broe., of Omaha, who sell them
on commission. These will be stall-fed

Eastern buyers have quit purchasing
on account of scarcity of money brought
on by the war. Townley & Stnart, of
Union, bad contracted 4to sell Eastern
buyers 900 bead, just before war was de
clared, and bad received $1600 to bind
the contract. . They brought the catt le
into the stock yarks and waited
for a week or more after the contract
had expired, when they received a mes
sage that tbe buyer conld not raise the
balance of tbe money, so they fjroye tbe
stock back' to tbe ranges.

Smw Storm at Meacham.
J. T. Roman, from Moacbam, near the
summit of the Blue mountains, (ells the
East Oregonian that Wednesday the
first instant, three inches or more snow

usual. County Judge William Martin
tays that snow fell to a depth of several
inches in the mountains in tbe John
Day section, about 75 miles south of Pen
dleton, on the third day of July, 1802.
Undoubtedly it is tbe only instance on
