Silver Nitrate Leaves Its Indelible Stain on the Victim's Forehead and Back of His Hand The barbarous cruelties of college hazing is by no means confined to tbe big educational institutions of the east. Our sister state, Idaho, gives to tbe world news of a clever aud classical hit of savagery perpetrated by Btudeuta of the State University at Moscow. Reports say that warfare has been raging between the sophomores and freshmen at the State University with bitterness ,aud hatred. The rumor became current Saturday morning that as a result of Thursday night's fight, Jay Jelliek, of Idaho Falls, a freshman at the University of Idaho, bad sustained injuries that would disfigure him for life. In the conflict it is understood that Jay Jelliek was captured. Tbe sophomores, in Indian fashion, seem to have come expressly prepared to torture any victim which might fall into their bands as a captive. They bad prepared a solution of nitrate of silver, and this they applied upon tbe faoe and bands of Jelliek. Upon the two cheeks of the unfortu nate fresnbman, upon his forehead, and upon the back of one hand they burned the brand of their class num ber, the figure '08. Jelliek upon his release consulted a physician, and rumor has it that a permanent soar would be left by reason of the prepar ation applied. A reporter called at the home of Mr. Jelliek and sought an interview, but he was noncommittal. From Mr. Jelliek tbe reporter learned that he consulted Dr. Thompson, of the bos pital, and made bis way thence to learn the facts. While waiting in a corner in the upper hallway for the doctor, a courier sped up the stairs, halted at the top aud asked to see the doctor immediately. The doctor ap proached, and was informed by him that a reporter would call upon him to learn the history of the fight bnt not to tell him anything. Tbe mes sage to the doctor could be plainly beard. . .

V A special dispatch sent out to met ropolitan daily newspapers the past week, gives a grapbio description of tbe matrimonial vioissitndes of Alfred Sandow, of Helix. The dispatch relates that Sandow, after trying three years to win a wife, has soen tbe, realization of his long cherished dream, though not without muoh worry and the useless expendi ture of large sums of money. The marriage ceremony was performed at Helix Saturday afternoon, tbe bride being Miss Bertha Gains, recently of Sedalia, Mo. Three years ago be applied to a matrimonial bureau in the east for a "fine young wife," and iu a short time a dashing young woman landed in Helix,, seeking the husband of ber choice. Wheu they met, however, tbe woman was not impressed with her prospective spouse, but she apparently was satisfied and consented to marry. Sandow presented her with a fine lot of elegant, clothes and a check it is said for $1000. Tbe marriage license was secured and all was ready for tbe wedding. At tbe appointed hour the bride-to-be failed to appear and Upon immediate inquiry it was found that tbe woman had disappear ed. She has not been heard from since. ..' ;', . ,' Last year he mot with a similar ex perience but did not lose as much iu this deal, During tbe early part of the present year another attempt was made to secure a wife through an agency , but the subject upon ac quainting herself with tbe. harness- maker decided that she would return to her borne in the east. She left after a marriage license had been secured. "A month ago Sandow was visited by John Adams a recent arrival from Missouri. Tbe latter told Sandow of the winning qualities of bis sister-in-law Miss Gains, and . tbe Helix man became intensely interested. He offered Adams a fee of $300 if he would induce Miss Gains to come to Oregon aud consent to become bis wife. Overtures were at once made aud the young lady arrived two weeks ago. Captain Isaacs, postmaster at Helix performed the ceremony in the pres ence of a few friends. Sandow is now the happiest man in Helix, though he has spent a small fortune in the at tempt to secure a wife. The county records show that he has obtaiued four marriage licenses within tbe past three years. Sunday School Sale. The teachers and scholars of the Methodist Episcopal Sunday school will conduct a market iu tbe old Fair Store building, corner of Main and Fourth streets, on next Saturday, December 2. Together with bargains in many lines of goods, the Sunday school children will bo in a position to offer their patrons plenty of fun. Lunch will be served from 12 o'clock to 2 p. m. at 25 cents, each ticket en titling the bolder to a free ride also. Tbe object of the sale is to raise funds for the bonds assumed by tbe several classes when tbe Methodist church building was dedicated. Doesn't Help Coal Shortage. The turning over of 200 empty cars at Huntington to tbe O. R. & N. does not in the least tend to relieve tho threatened coal famine which has for some time been causing anxiety throughout Eastern Oregon. The car shortage bus nothing iu common with the scarcity of fuel. Report from the coal . company in . Wyoming, which supplies this territory shows that it is flooded with orders and is now behind 1000 carloads. The same story comes from mines in Wasbiug tou, 'w here 700 carloads must be mined before orders are caught up witn. Sunnyside School Closes. The Sunnyside school, near Milton, taught by Prof. W. S. Mayberry, has been closed on account of diphtheria, several new cases have developed within tbe past few days. Stringent measures to prevent its spreading have been taken and it is hoped the disease will soon be checked. FOOTBALL GAMES. First Team, O; Weston, ll-Mcoml I Thiii, 5; Pendleton, II Both the first aud secoud Athena football teams have now withstood the grilling of the gridiron. The first team played Westou Saturday after noon, meeting defeat by a score of 11 to 0, and the second team played the Pondletouiaus to a standstill Sunday, though being beaten, by a score of il to 5. Iu both games the Atheua boys were out played by opposiug teams of, !.j;ivier weight. The Weston game was hotly contested, tho team over the hill scoring, making two touchdowns aud a goal iu the first ten minutes of tbe game. After that the lighter team held their oppoueuts down in admirable style, iu the last half the ball being iu Weston's territory much of the time. The game served to de velop the weak points iu the ' Athena lineup and edged up the team in a renl workout. This team leaves Wednesday eveuiug for La Grande where on Thanksgiving day it plays the Athlotic club team of that town. Tho schedule of games for the season to be i played by the team follows: Athena at La Grundo, Nov. 80 j Pendleton at Athena, Deo. 5; Walla Walla at Atheua, Dec. 12; Weston at Atheua, Dec. 18; La Grande at Athe ua, Doc. 25; Atheua ut Walla Walla, Jan. 1 ; Athena at Pendleton, Jan. 8. The Atheua uecoud tenm had a cracking good lineup in tho Pendle ton game mid showed that it is cap able of playing a good, clean game. The first half was cousumodiu gilt edge foot ball playing, with no scor ing. In the second half tbe heavier Pendletou players could not keep the Athena light weights from scoring a touchdown, aftor which Pondleton made two touchdowns aud kicked goal. The members of the team speak in the highest terms of the splendid treatment accorded them ' by the Pen dleton boys. 1 To Collect Toll. The Portland Genet ul Eloctrio coin pauy has beeu given until December 15 to reply to the suit instituted against it by the state to recover percentage of the toll collected by the Oregon City locks fron' 1873 to the present time. When the locks were constructed in 1871 tho state gave $200,000 to the company which built them with the understanding that the state should ro ceive 10 por ceut ot the unuual profits of the tolls collected for the passage of freight and passengers through them. Takes Her Life. Fannie Rogers, an inmate of Pon- I aieton a renngnr, . aistrict, .commuted suioide. at 12:30 Friday uight by tak ing antiseptic powders. Death was almost instantaneous, and when a physician arrived in ' response to a summons the woman was dead, all efforts to revive her being futile. The deceased ' was about ' 24 years of age aud had been iu Pendletou since last summer. Narragen of Medford. Senator Fulton withdrew his recom mendation of C. 13. Ilegardt of Port land for the position of receiver of the laud office at Rpseburg. Sooretary Hitchcock objected to the appointmout of Hegaidt and so informed Senator Fulton, who thereupon recommondod that N. A. Narragen of Medford. Ore gon, be appointed. ' Narragen was agreeable to the secrotary and doubt less be will be nominuted. New Hudson Bay Phone. The Hudson Hay . Telephone com pany is erecting telephone poles for its system from Milton a distance of 25 rnileH. Previous to this the line was barbwire, constructed along the fenc es, but this gave poor satisfaction as it was continually put out of service by livo stock and farmers. Weston Robber. George Cramer has been arrested aud placed in the county jail, charged with the robbery of a Weston saloon. The robbery is said to have taken place sometime Friday night, sus picion pointing to Cramer, who had left Weston, going to Pendletou and afterward to Echo, where ho was captured. . Company Disbands.

Man's rnreHftonubleiieHii is of ten as great as woman's. Bat Thos. S. Austiu, Mgr. of the "Re publican," of Leavenworth, Ind., was not unreasonable when ho refused to allow tbe doctors to operate ou bis wife for female trouble. "Instead," he says, "we coucluded to try Electric Bitters. My wife wus then , so sick she could hardly leave her bed, and 5 physicians had failed to relieve her. After taking Electric Bitters she was perfectly cured and can now perform all her household duties." Guaran teed by Wm. McBride, druggist, price 50c. MAY LOSE POSITION MITCHELL LIKELY TO BE DIS PLACED AS CHAIRMAN. Active Man Is Needed and Senators Say Important Legislation Re quires Another Appointment. Apparently Sonator Mitchell is to be deprived of the chairmanship of committee on oceauio canals wheu the senate reorganizes nest month, says a Washington dispatch to tho Oregoniau. This bus not been defi nitely decided, but it is the concensus of opiuiou of arriving senators that Mitchell will have to relinquish his chairmanship iu order that some other active member of the canal committeo can preside nt its meetings this winter. Cougress must appropriate money early in the coming session ' for con tinuing work ou the Panama Canal and must decide Whether the canal 8Lal be built with locks or at the sea level. This legislation, together with all other legislation pertaining to tho canal and the canal zone, must be considered by the canal committoe, and will l;e one of tho most important topics to be considered. Because of its importance, senators believe tho canal committee should have an active chairman, who cannot only preside at committee meetings, but can vote both iu committoe aud iu tho senate aud who can furthermore takn charge of canal legislation aftor it has been reported to the senate. Mitchell himself admits he will not come to Washington to participate iu tho work of the senate or its com mittees, but he has expressed a desire to retain bis chairmanship, aud he also desires that bis graudsou, John Mitchell Haudy, retain the clerk ship of thut committee. While sen ators regret Mitchell's unfortunate situation and extend to him their sympathy, they feel thut he should not only absent himself from the sou ate, but reliuquisb'tbe chairmanship . of tbe canal committeo togother with the clerkship. If he does not withdraw, voluntarily it is believed by seuutors who have beeu questioned J, that some other chairman will be named, aud Mitch ell transferred to some less important chairmanship, in order that he - may, if be desires, still retain bis grandson ' as committee clerk. Senators do not like to take barsb actiou iu this case, but they feel that Senatorial courtesy is being stretched too fur whon Mitchell, under existing ciicumstau- 'tos, asks to retain bis chairmanship, . -It is barely possible thut ho may . not be disturbed, it is possible tho committee ou committoes may decide to let him remain, but if its views concur with tho unanimous opinion expressed by several seuutors today, they will appoint a new chairman. This committoe not having been named, no oue knows what action it will take, but senators, discussing tbe matter, say that good business would demand that the caual committeo have a new chairman aud a new clerk this winter, when there .Si so much business to be transacted. ' "h.r It is seldom that a senator, after orily two years' service, falls heir to so im portant a chairmanship us that of Claims, yet that is the lot of Fulton, of Oregon. Claims is u hard working committee of good standing, handl ing largo sums of money euch cou gross. Fulton is now at tho foot of the committee table, but the senators who rank bim have places which they do not caro to relinquish. Probably tho liveliest scramble this session will be for the two republican vacancies on tho commerce committee, which handles river and harbor legis lation. Foster of .Washington retired making one vacancy and Ojuarles tho other. The Pacific coust will prob ably got the Foster vacancy uud nat urally the fight will rest between Ful ton of Oregon aud Ankeny of Wash ington with the chancei favoring Fniton. Tho chairmanship of this committee is not vacant. Settle Up. Those knowing themselves to bo in debted to Wm.
