Miss Phronia Ketcbum and Mr George Ketcbum, who came to Went on several months ago from Champagne, 11., in search of better health, left Mon day night for Spokane, where their brother is engaged in civil engineering. Both found their stay here of much benefit. The death of II. C. Hill, 84 years old, occurred lately at Trail, British Colum bia, to which place he moved from Wes ton about a year ego. Mr. Hill resided at Weston several years, and was an estimable old gentleman. His son, J. F. Hill of Helix, has gone to Trail in ifasponea to news of his ftither's death. Considerable local interest is being created in foot racing. List Monday evening on the common below tjwn Kalph Lane btnt "Poo" Read at 73 yards. A match of 100 yards is now being arranged for nest Sunday after, noon between Ralph Lane and Ralph Haling. It la said that backers of the respective contestants are ready to risk a good many dollars on the result. Prof. M. G. Royal and family left for their former home at Olympia, Wash., where the professor expects to engage in the practice of law. The fact that he will be nonbored among our citizens no longer is deeply regretted, for he not only conducted the normal school aa its president for five years past with signal success, but won a high place in the esteem of the community. Henry Waod was over Tuesday, talk ing with "ftulJ acquaintances" at Wes log, from his farm near Athena. He says that providence continuee to bless the farmers, the prospect for spring grain especially being the best he has ever seen. As for fall grain, Mr Wood had eome last year that averaged 60 bushels per acre but thinka that this flue yield will ba even exceeded the coining har vest, as the heads promise to fill to a greater length. He has 300 acres in crop. Hank Fanning, the raucher and phil osopher of Cold Spring, was here last Sunday with' Wra. Rose. Hank says that last year's crop enabled him to quit dodging creditors for the first time in a decade, and ho now has a collection of autographs that cost $2000. If things go this year as well as they look he will be able to iudulge in tho luxury of a Prince Albert and a box of Havanaa, while his family will be spared from the uncertainty of eating only when the bene lay. He baa a half-section in crop and says that Cold Spring wheat look. as well or better than that around Wes ton. Fred, tho young son of J. B. Impute, came to grief last Sunday while riding a celt belouimiK to the Read boys. A saddle was tied outo the colt with ropos in juvenile fashion, and Fred climbed aboard. After a tow jumps the saddle was where the cinch ought to be and the young rider was lying on the ground, with the ligamonts of his right arm badly sprained and lacerated at the wrist. The arm was put in splints by Dr. Best, and the youngster is repining at home. MILTON KAOLK Born, near this city, on June 23, 1 SOS, to the wife of Arthur Ferguson, a daugh ter.

Milton's new flouring mill will be com pleted and ready to grind this year's crop of wheat in about two months. The contract with the mill-wrights says August 15tb, but if the machinery is all in place by tbe first of September, tbe owners, Messrs. Harris, Stewart and Johnson will be satisfied.

Mr. Arnald reports a lose of 30 out of 70 wbluh he says were undoubted ly stolen. He saya there are two gangs of thieves operating on finaka river, one on this side and one on the other. The one on this side ritlpe the eastorn part of Wallowa county and after rounding up 60 or 100 geldings swim them acroe the river to their accomplices who in return swim about an equal number back which were stolen in Idaho. Tbe thieves on this side then drive the stolen horses to Eastern Washington where they are sold, while those on the other side take the VYallowa horses to Central Idaho where they are likewise sold. Horsemen repott hpavy Iobbos on the range of lute and no doubt th'j is what becomes of them. Lostine Leader. Bowman Gees Back.

C. M. Cakdkn, Marshal. To Retire From Business. The stockholders of the First National bank of Waitsburg, eajs tbe Dayton Courier, have resolved to go into volun tary liquidation, and the local stock holders with the Hon. Levi Ankeny of Walla Walla have organ'zd the Mer chant's Bank of Waitsburg, with a cap ital of f25,000, all subscribed and paid in. This change was made for the rea son that the National Bank with its capital cf $50,000 and thereby heavy taxes and other expenses has been an unprofitable institution Tt9 officers of the new bank will probably remain the same as in the old organization.

"Just after President McKinley's in auguration be had his relatives who were in the city at a family dinner at the White House," says the Ladies' Home Journal in an illustrated anecdota bio graphy of the president. l"It was a large company, and a goad dinner. Dear old Mother Mc&inley wm tuere, gut she was not very talkative. She was too happy for words. But she kept a sharp eye on tho dinner, and no detail escaped her. She was impressed by the quantity of cream served with the fruit and cofjee, for she looked up at fapr con ia ber sweet way and said: " 'William, you mast keep a cow now.' ''gome of the younger members of tho family party found it difficult to suppress a smile, but tbe president, with his usual tact and graoionsness, replied : " 'Ves, mpther, we cau afford to have a cow now, and hays all the cream we can possibly use.' " Terrible News from Spain. A correspondent from the Atlantic Constitution, writing concerning Borne of his recent experiences in the Spanish West . Indies, says that aa a rule tbe Spanish papers had either McKinley or Sampson or Dewey killed every day, "and we usti to make pools the nigbt before as to whoee obituary v. a sould read in the morning." Twice the presi dent waa reported to have committed suicide once after the bombardment of 5'ew York and the landing of the Span ish marines, and once after the nswa reached him that fts own troops had begun to sack Washington.
