CALEDONIAN PICNIC BAD ; WEATHER - INTERFERES 11 .TO SOME EXTENT. Program Carried Out and Those in Attendance Were Delighted 5With Entertainment. Evidently it is not down on the calen dar of events for Athena to have a fair shake with the weather man in the mat ter of out-door jollifications;" picnics and the like, in what is termed ."the merry month of May;"' The month of May has been a veritable "frost" to picnic gatherings ever, since the Press man can remember, and this particular month of May has not redeemed the hoodoo not to any great extent, at least. Tuesday morning the ith annual pic nic of the Umatilla County Caledonian Society was ushered in cold, bleak and stormy. The magnificent 'program, which had been formulated at great ex pense bf time and money, was witnessed the first day by a limited crowd of peo ple,' who shivered in an atmosphere frigid almost to a parallel with that of the blasts "of stock perishing Montana. Despite the drawback of weather con ditions the, brawny Scots, with stout hearts, went on with the program and royally entertained their visitors. The bagpipes shrilled as only Prof. Moon can make them, and they breathed the life of Highland flings and Scotch reels in" tuneful rythm to the dainty steps of the Scottish dancers. ' '-" J udge Cameronj of Portland, thrilled his hearers with a masterful oration bo jeweled with Scottish love, history and tradition, and Hon. T. G. Hailey, of Pendleton, delivered one -of his inim itable addresses. The Misses Sharp and Forbes and the wee Scotch lads and lassies gave ttieir graceful share to ward the program, both at the grove and at the evening-concert in the opera house, at which every seat on the lower floor was taken. The concert program was replete ia its entirety with almost everything of a Scottish ' character for entertainment, and was rendered with a credit to every one of the performers. Notwithstanding the dawn of Wednes day 'was veiled in lowering clouds and threatening weather,"' about 10 o'clock the sun broke through and a goodly number of people came to participate in the second day of the picnic. The pro gram of . the day was given at the grounds, and included the beautiful dances of .j the ladies, fcentlenien and children from Portland, and addresses by Rev. Ariufield, of the M. E. church, and C A. Bias of the Christian church. At 3 p. m. the exercises at the grove terminated and the society's 4th annual picnic was over. ' t- ' . j Considering the weather conditions, the "gathering of (he clans" was a sue cess in every particular, and left a work of credit to those zealous members who did everything in their power for its success. Tho Portland performers left on tho We have just received Get The (Umatilla Implement ' evening train for Walla Walla where yesterday, under very unfavorable weather conditions, a reunion of the Walla Walla Caledonian Society was held. From there they go to their homes in Portland today. I'llr.o Winners. Those who won the prizes in the- dif ferent events were awarded silver med als as follows: . Standing jump "First prize, J. A.

Teddy was in Walla Walla Monday, and so were about 25,003 people. .They went there to see him. Many went from Athena. The business houses were closed here during the afternoon and the town was deserted and dead as a door nail. There was a prize galaxy of pickpockets in the garden city, congre gated for the occasion, and the 15 empty purses found in the O. R. k N. yards, and but one arrest made, speak as a glowing endeavor to police the town. Either Weston has more money than any community hereabouts, pr her in habitants were particularly unlucky in running the thieving gauntlet, if all re ports are true. Among them is Jess York, a heavy loser, f Chancellor Maloncy' Record. Local club men have been feeling mighty chesty over their bowling rec ords, but it remained for our esteemed grand chancellor of Pythiandom, J. W, Maloney, of Pendleton, to reduce this morbid exultation to the proportions of a trio of ten cent pieces, which he gracefully accomplished yesterday. Mr. Maloney ran up a score of 70 just to let those present know that he was in the cocked-hat class. Eugene Register. WAUA WALLA VS. COLFAX. A Slow fiame in Which Colfax Won, 7 la 6. On a poor diamond before a large crowd the Colfax team : won out over Walla Walla Wednesday afternoon by a scoieof 7 to 6. It was a slow game, in which the grounds were not wholly to blame. The features were the splendid catch of Somers, of Colfax (who was a dead ringer for Rollo Brown) and the Garri son finish of the Colfax team ia the Oth. Walla Walla scored in the first and CANTON and DUTCHMAN a car of Barb and Woven Wire Fencing. our prices before buying Colfax pressed the button (or two in the third. In the fifth she landed another and in the seventh three more. Walla Walla tied in the eighth and got one to the good. Colfax limbered up when Somers scored in the ninth, and with one gone Valey brought in the winning run : with a corking single, materially assisted by Bruyett's juggle. The crowd was impartial in its "root ing," but Yellow Kid ginger and pepper was lacking to create interest in the contest. Manager Burns tried out a Dakota pitcher who will probably make good. He pitched a fairly good game, and showed speed to burn. A PROMINENT MAN. IVenton'4 Mayor, II. It. XeUon, Died t v Saturday. r" There are heavy hearts over at Wes ton. H. B. Nelson, for years a promin ent factor in the history of the town and one of its main business and induitrial promoters, died Saturday night and was buried Sunday. In Athena Mr. Nelson 1X7 UQ urn!

J , . front here as well as in his own town, and the material in many of our busi ness buildings stand as a monument to his industry. H. B. Nelson was born in Belle foun taine, O., September 9, 1818. lie came west as far as Kansas in 1870. In 1873 h6 was married to Miss Mary O. Clark. He returned to Ohio, coming west again to California in 1877, and remained there two years, coming to Weston, Or., in 1879, where he established the brick business, which is now one of the largest plants in the state. , ; Mr. Nelson was one of the best known men in Eastern Oregon, and was honor ed and beloved by all who knew him. During his residence in Weston he has served as mayor three different terras. He was a stanch republican and a mem ber of the A. O. U. W. and the K. of P. The funeral services were conducted at the family residence Sunday, and were largely attended, friends coming from all adjoining towns. He was laid to rest in the Odd Fellows' cemetery. His wife, one daughter, Mrs. V. II. Chastain, of Milton, and one son, C. E. Nelson, of Weston, survive him. HAD ANARCHIST PAPEES. 8ulict Ordered From Walla Walla ItlHa Went With Hint. Joseph Becker, alleged anarchist, who is said to have contemplated the as sassination of President Roosevelt while at the garden city, was released by the police. It was made known that when Becker was searched by thi police at the jaii an anarchist paper of an bid date was found on his person. The paper in question was one that had been suppressed by the government years ago- , ,: - ; Nothing could be proved against the man and the police had no reasons for holding hitn any longer. His rifle was returned to him and he was ordered to lavo the city. He followed out the warning to the letter. Becker denied that ho was an an archist, ' and said that no sane roan would attempt to kill Roosovelt. He wept profanely while making, bis state ment.

Regular Meeting Held in Weston and New Board was Organized Salaries for Next Tear. : Kve ednosday at the meeting of the board of regents of the Eastern Oregon State Normal School at Weston the salary list for the ensuing year was cut down considerably in order that the ex- ' pense might be kept within the appro priation made by the recent legislature.' For some reason the last legislature did not see fit to make an adequate appro priation, and the only thing to do to keep the school running was to cut ed, says tho Tribune. The salaries of Prof, Peebles and Prof. Kitteridge were reduced to $800. The president's salary was not touched. The other teachers, with the exception of Prof. Bruce, will receive $600 per year, while his salary was raised from $765 to $800. There was a full board present at the meeting. Officers for the ensuing year were elected as follows: President J. W. Scriber, of La Grande." Vi-; Secretary P. A. Worthington, of Portland, Treasurer Robert Killgore, of Wes ton, i' ; '- " Executive committee Col. James II. Raley of Pendleton, chairman ;' Mr. Saxton, of Baker City, and R. Alexand er, of Pendleton. k , The teachers for the ensuing year were chosen but ths board decided that as school was cot yet out it would be ' better to withhold the changes from the public until that time. However, there were several changes made and many new teachers employed. U. S. SHOULD INTERVENE. KUhop Seymour Thlnkn Ruala Out rage of Humanity QI vet Right. Biship Seymour, of the diocese of Springfield, 111., of the "Episcopal church, in a communication published by the State Register, takes the ground that the United , States government should intervene in behalf of the perse cuted Jews of Russia, and demand that the Russian government take speedy measures to protect the outraged Jews and punish their persecutors. Bishop Seymour says that, of course, the United States should not interfere in the do mestic affairs of other nations, but this is a case where humanity is outraged, and the United States, in the interest of humanity, should say, and it seems to him that this nation is strong enough to make its words quasi-command, and one which must be obeyed, that these tnasa cres must iusbtutly cease. G. C. Osburn, having disposed of his business interests here, desires those in debted to him to affect settlement at once.
