' Women to the Number of 89
Cast Their. Ballots for the
' Respective Candidates.
A tolal of 245 votes were polled in
the city election, Toeeday, which . is
on of the largest votes ever oast at a
municipal election, in the history of
Athena. Eighty-nine woman exer
cised their right of suffrage and -came
to the polls to oast their ballot 1
The splendid majority received by
Mayor Koonts is a glowing tribute ex
pressed by the people of the confidence
and esteem in wbioh be is held by
them. The fact that he was running
for the third term of of floe demon
strates that his olfioal acts are over
whelmingly approved. He received
167 votes, tb 78 votes oast for bit op
ponent, Mr. Taylor: ;
Henry Dell led in the aldermanio
rane in point of votes leoeived. He
got 210 votes,vW.P. Littlejobn, 205;

: While considerable interest was
manifested in the result' of the "elec
tion not one questionable inoident or
unbecoming, aot presented itself to
mar the serene harmony of the- day.
People just simply went 'to the polls
and voted.- There were no street dis
cussions, and the election was perhaps
the most decorous ever held in the
city. The voting plaoe was at the
oity ball. C. O. Henry, H. O. Wor
thington, H. H. Hill, G. W. Gross
and S. L, Spenoer, were clerks and
judges of eleotion.
A muoh larger vote was oast by
women voters than anticipated, and
estimates fell short in most instanc

HUNTING THE HIPPO.
Methods of the Wily Natlvtj Hunters of
. North Africa,
As hippopotamus hunters the Shullus
of the Sobat region. - North Africa,
stand alone. A native hippo bunt is
nn exciting and dangerous siiort The
hunters are In dugout ennocs; two or
three paddle while one manages the
harpoon or barbed spear," to" which are
attached a stout rope and n Runt of
nui batch.
When the hippo comes to the surface
to breathe an attempt is made to steal
upon him with the harpoon: when this
is accomplished the hunters make .a
hasty retreat from the enraged beast
and in turn engage his attention while
attempt!) are made to spear him by
those in the other on noes.
When severely wounded a hippopot
amus goes ashore to rest or to die and
not to attack its assallantSr fls has been
so often reported. The native hunters
wait for this, and when tlie animal
goes up out of the water a volley of
spears is thrown Into it, and slowly
the huge beast bleeds to death. The
hunters do not always escape. Some
times the life or a limb of one of them
is sacrificed to their daring.
The bide of the hippopotamus is cut
into strips and dried to be sold to
Arab traders, who, in turn,' sell it to
the whlpmakcrs of Omdurman and
Egypt- Certain portions of the hide
are much prized as shields. The flesh
Is cut ' Into long, narrow : strips and
dried in the sun; its taste resembles
that of coarse beef. - '
A King's Dog Lest ;
Lord Northcliffe's reference to King
Charles' cry for bis lost dog as being
among the earliest English newspaper
advertisements reminds one, says the
London Chronicle, of the tone of those
pioneer announcements. Here, then,
la Charles in search of a dog: . j
- "( must call upon you again for a
Black Dog, between a Greyhound and
a Spaniel, no white about him, only a
streak on his brest and bis tayl a lit
tle' bobbed. It is his majesty's own
dog, and doubtless was stoln, for the
Dog was not born nor bred in Eng
land, and would never forsake hhj
Master. Whosoever find hint may
acquaint any at Whitehall, for the Dog
was better known at Court than those
who stole Mm. Will they never leave
robbing his Majesty? Must be not
keep a dogt This Dog's place Is the
only place which nobody offers to
buy." . -

ident cf the Utah W. 0. .1 . U. and
one of the foremost woikera in the
national organization as a publlo
speaker will give a lecture in the
Christian cburoh of this city next
Thursday evening at 7:80. Mrs. Shep
ard has been in Athens before, and
made a good impression on her former
visit. This great lecturer is known as
the "Billy Sunday of the White Bib
boners," and througbont the west as
the "Temperance Cyclone." The
Daily Times, Portsmouth, Ohio, says:
"For an bonr she held her audience
spoil bound. They ' drank in every
word she uttered, and so impressed
were they that when she completed
ber addlress there was not a sound for
a few seconds, and then there burst
forth snob applause as is seldom giv
en a speaker."
In Automobile Accident.
A Ford automobile, diiven by Matt
Mosgrove, swerved into the curb in
front of the meat market on Main
street Saturday afternoon, and collid
ed with a telephone' pole. Mr. Mos
grove was slightly cot with broken
glass, bnt otherwise esoaped without
Injury. The oar was damaged some
what as the result of the collision.
Tbis is the second accident happening
to Mr. Mosgrove niuoe be purchased
the oar.
Warehouses Burned,
The Paoiflo Coast Elevator com
pany's wheat warehouses at Spofford
burned yesterday morning. Over
$30,000 bnshels of grain was destroy
ed, and the loss is placed at $35,000.
Tbe Are was burning fiercely when
the Walla Walla-Pendleton passenger
arrived at tbe station, and tbe train
was held for nearly an bonr before it
uould pass tbe burning toildings.
Another consignment of game birds
was leoeived Tuesday' of this week ,
by Dr. J. D. Plamondoo, for the -Ath
ena game preserve. - The shipment -
was made by Game Warden Averlll,
and consisted of 84 Hungarian par
tridges.' Tbe birds oame from tbe
State game farm, and were reoently
imported from Hungary; being of the'
the State game department in the
last few months. ; -J
Tbe game commission sent Max
Muller to Hungary to secure the par
tridges, and both shipments arrived '
in good condition.
The birds are a baidy speoies, in
size between quail and onr native
pheasant. They are bluish grey and
brown in color and In flight resemble
tbe speed and angles of tbe native
pheasant There' is lut slight differ
ence in tbe color or markings of tbe
male and female, the former having
a siigoiiy aaiser snauo or orown in
tbe breast.
The birds were turned loose ob tbe
Nelson place below town, by Dr.
Plamondou, who has interested bim- '
self with Warden A verill in stocking
tbe Athena preserve. : '
i It is possible for the partridges to
I be taken tor native pheasants when
encountered in the brush, but for tbe .
reason that any. person carrying a gun
of any desoiiption on the preserve is '
liable to heavy One, there is little
likelihood of tbe birds ceiog molested
to any great extent nutil they have
propagated sufficiently to justify open '
season shooting.
Tbe Cbina pheasants, liberated last
fall on the preserve by Warden 'Av
erlll, have had most favorable wea
ther conditions tbe past winter, and
a numter of tbem bare been seen from
time to time. Seemingly they are con- -tented.
Food is plentiful, their range
is not restricted, and with, favorable
breading conditions, the increase tbis
year should be all that conld be rea
sonably expeoted.
. Dr. Piamondon has a couple of pairs
of Hungarian partridges at bis home,
where they may be seen in . an enclo
sure alongside of his flock of China
pheasants.
