Sheriff Wilcox and family returned borne Friday from a pleasant visit to rel atives in the valley. . We are glad to state that Mr, John Phillips, father of Mrs. W. 8. Myers, Is recovering his health.

Mr. Lacy will probably locate in this section. Capt. Wilcox desires a full turnout of II Co. the coming Saturday evening at 7 o'clock, sharp, for Inspection.

As we go to press, the Messed rain is coming down in torrents, with good pros pects for tots more of it. A bounteful harvest Is now assured.- We regret that our limited space for bids lis publishing a very long letter Wbyte defunct cow case. Ataetaor Mason has so far recovered from bis Injuries as to able to resume his work of assessing, having begun ( Tuesday in the north end of the county. All this week the weather has been extremely warm, with the thermometer bossing around the 100-deg. mark, like blueflies around the bung-hole of a mo lasses bar'l. Supt L. Parker stopped in town Sat urday night while on his way to attend the State Teachers Association at Port land, lie expects to return home to morrow Friday. ' John Brandenburg left the first of the week (or Southern Oregon, where he ex pects to sojourn a few months. He wHl return this fall and go into some kind of business at Condon. Hugh Gourlay published his valedic tory In The Dalles Chronicle Saturday. He will be succeeded by D. C. Ireland, a newspaper man of long experience, and a thorough gentleman. ' " ' The two lady delegates to the Minne apolis convention from Wyoming have returned, and a' look indicative of "that tired feeling" has resumed its place on the countenances of their "dear hus bands." This Is pretty fair evidence that it is only a waste of time and energy to raise scrubby horses : A. M. Kelsey of Ante lope a few days ago was offered 86 head, mostly mares, ail for $140.- He did not ouy uiem. , Mrs. Nora Beardsley and little son and her sister Lettie, of Moscow, Idaho, are visiting their relatives and friends near Fossil. Their brother-in-law, Ed Smith, brought them out the first of the week from Arlington, The eastern editors who came to Cali fornia to be surprised at the country and to get into spasms over its wonders, don't seem to have enthused to the degree that California folks think they should have, under the circumstances.

He informs us that grain and grass in bis -section looks fairly well yet;' that the grain la suffering more from squir rels than irom any other cause.'

Tuesday Jas; Shields, sold his ranch of 360 acres on Matney Flat, to John Har rison fof $1000. Mr. Shields and family left this week for Southern Oregon where they will try their luck awhile. They will go overland, 'the mountains across.' We have had conversations with a rinmbcrTf farmers, and they are not completely discouraged. In many in stances the outcome will be better than expected, and a large quantity of wheat will be exported. Times-Mountaineer. An enormous crowd of people will cel ebrate at Condon next Monday. Sev eral other places in the county we un derstand will celebrate also, but they will be Very tame In comparison with ours. The principal crowd will be at Cohdoti. An exchange says tKat the latest fad In spring bonnets is to crimp a two-cent postage stamp, stick a canary bird feath er In it and attach ribbons. This is to be worn well bock on the head, so as to show the bangs and pretty face to ad vantage; Every arrangement is being perfected for the large body of Gilliam county's citizens that Will congregate here next Monday. Oratory, music, dancing, rac ing, athletic sports, etc., and an assem bly of the beauty and wit of the great Inland Empire. Probably 1000 people will celebrate at Condon next Monday, Let us have our town looking its best On this Important occasion. A good starter is to clean out all the lumber, rubbish, etc., from the streets, so that strangers will not think the town is uninhabited. Father Lemay's failure to preach at Condon Sunday last, as per appoint ment, disappointed a great many people who congregated here to attend services. Several from a distance were present, among tbem being Mr. and Mrs. Dan Cameron of Schuttler Flat. Nearly $160 has already been subscrib ed with which to defray the expenses of our celebration. Mesdames Smith and Goodwin have the thanks of all our peo ple for their trouble in soliciting such a respectable amount. This sum insures a good time for everybody. An exchange hits the scandalmonger a pretty hard jolt, in the following lan guage: "The gossips and scaddalmon gers, if they belonged to the animal world, would be treated as poisonous serpents. ' They are the vampires and rattlesnakes of society." It affords us pleasure too see our busi ness men taking so much pride in hav ing their buildings neatly painted and Improved generally. It shows good taste, and the public appreciates it. Tom Johnson and Mr. Mayhew are kept busy constantly with their brushes. Miss Birdie Downing returned home Friday from Salem, where she gradua ted in the Sacred Heart Academy, June 17th, with high honors. She received a diploma and some very beautiful medals. She can now walk without the aid of a cane or crutch, and expects soon to be able to walk as well as ever. Mrs. Elixa Winzenreid and little daugh ter Lela, who have been visiting Mrs. W's parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Ebbert, near Condon, left to-day for their home at Creswell, Lane county. Mrs. Ebbert will accompany her daughter as far as Portland, where she expects to remain a short time for medical treatment. Mr. Josephns Martin of Rock creek has our sincere thanks for a box of those very large, delicious "Oxheart" cherries as' fine as ever went down our editorial throat. If there's any time a fellow ap preciates having a neck as long as a rake- bundle, It'l while engaged eating cher ries and berries one can taste 'em so long. F. 11. Snow, one of Oregon's brightest journalists, has resigned his appoint ment as U.- 8.- Commissioner at Lexing ton, Morrow county, and has secured a responsible position on the rend le ton East Oregonian. Frank is one of the 'whitest" boys on the coast, and his many friends wish him unbounded suc cess. It would appear that A. B. Lackey, of "bad check" fame, got into a pretty bad row of stumps lately, He was arrested at his home at Sand Hollow, Morrow county, lust week on a charge of stealing a horse from 3. T. McCreedy of Klicki tat, Wash., to which place he was taken for his examination. We have not learned the result. Still the stories of storm and flood, tempest and terror, continue to come over the wires from the effete eastern states and from countries across the frog pond, while here in Oregon all is calm, serene and safe. No one who has lived here could easily be tempted to change places. Now is the time to subscribe fof the Globb in advance. County court meets Tuesday next. We would suggest to the court that the best, easiest and cheapest way to have the county welt finished is to engage the services of the Mayville parties who have just received the 1 new boring machine. They could bore down 60 or 7fr feet at less cost than to have it dug ten feet. The court has learned by this time that it Is useless to depend upon unreliable parties to dig the well. i ...r'?r hut Still another1 of theTCdutnre boys ar rived this week) fresh' irdtn Michigan. A few may be tempted to exclaim: "Weill how many Couture boys are there, anyway?" Their curiosity in this direction may rest easy ; this recent arrival Is the last and youngest of the family. We are very glad, indeed, to wel come to our midst such industrious and respectable young men af all the Cofl ture boys are, however; Judging from the large' flag-pole near ly 100 feet in bight, in front of this intel ligence factory, one would presume the Globi had a severe case of patriotism. And it has, too. But the pole was not erected by the Globb alone ; all of our citizens "had a hand in it." From the top of this pole, on the glorious 4th, an enormous flag containing 44 stars, will thrash the zephyrs of heaven, remind ing one of the grand old revolutionary days or words to that effect. Times-Mountaineer; We received a call Saturday from Mr. Ben Ironmonger, one of the sheep kings of Grant county. He sold his wool at Moody's warehouse, about 10,000 pounds, at from 164 to 16 cents. Mr. Ironmonger informs us that some of the wool in the vicinity of Ca leb, has sold for 16 cents at Moody's this season. Crops around Caleb are in ex cellent condition, and rains have been quite frequent. Mr. Ironmonger noticed the difference in grain after crossing the Deschutes river. Senator Mitchell of Oregon bad a good deal of fun at Washington last week by having his notorious long beard cut off as smooth as a Dutch baby's ears. Dur ing bis 19 years' residence at the na tional capitol, his face was never touched by a razor. He had considerable fun out of it by being introduced to all his old acquaintances, who did not recog nize him. The gentle zephyrs off the placid waters of the Chesapeake will not have the satisfaction of whistling thro' bis whiskers again for some time. Mr. A. Hartman is circulating a peti tion this week, and already bas secured a large number of names, praying our county court to offer a bounty of two cents for squirrel scalps. This it a com mendable move, and it is of the utmost importance that it receive favorable consideration by the corirt. The little pests have damaged the crops in this county probably to the amount of $25,000 this season, and this is the best method by which to exterminate them. It has resulted successfully in other counties The following from the East Orego nian is an excellent pointer for the peo ple of this section : "Lawrence Hutch inson, residing in Dry Hollow, Umatilla county,- Is a happy man. For the past fifteen years he has been unable to se cure water on his farm and has bad to haul water a distance of six miles, for drinking and domestic purposes. Last year Mr. Hutchinson dug a well 62 feet deep, but did not strike any water. Last week, however, he had a well dug by a steam boring machine, and at the depth of 22 feet an unlimited amount of water was found. This caused the balance of the farmers to follow his example, and it will not be long until the water sup ply in that section will be adequate for all demands." During the last week the monotony was severely ruffled by about dozen different runaways in this vicinity. Outside of a few thoroughly dilapidated wagons and skinned horse-legs (or limbs, rather) no damage was done, however. Saturday while J.- W. Miller and daugh ter, of Matney Flat were coming to town their team ran off and chucked into Mr. Schilling's wagon, who was also on the way to town with his family. They struck Mr. Schilling's wagon with ter rific force, one horse jumping up into the wagon-bed, smashing things up gen erallyparticularly a lot of eggs, mak ing a delightful solution of egg nogg. Dr. Nicklin and L. W. Darling were also hurled a few rods up into ourexhilira- ting atmosphere, during a vigorous run away. T. 11. McMorris, Bert Ramsay and several others were favored in a similar manner. Dr. Hogan, of the fruit depart ment, attributes the above chaotic con dition of our people to the McKinley bill, or perhaps the atmospheric pressure of the Gulf Stream, causing the present thermal condition of our sweltering in habitants. mm Rock Creek Culling. We understand Olex will celebrate. 11. C. Myers of Blaloclc is in this vi cinity buying beef cattle. Several parties from Arlington were out to the creek Sunday fishing. 102 in the shade at Olex Sunday made the citizens wish for some of the ice they didn't put up here last winter. Wra. A. Cahoon and Earl Weather- ford returned last week from Monmouth where they have been . attending school the last year. About the only enjoyment us Rock- krlckers can get out of ice cream this season is to rend about it, there being no ice iu this section. A new-comer, a boy weighing 10 lbs, recently came to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Sthott, also to the home of Mr, and Mrs. Henry Wilkins, a son, a 7-pounder.. Cor.- Th Best Wagons. The best wagon in the world is the new Peter Schuttler tabular axle wagon. The Steel Skein Schuttler wagon has been in the lead for the past 50 years j the new tabular axle Schuttler wilt be in the lead for the next 60 vertrs. For sale by L. W. Darliug&iCo.i Condon, Or. 1776 A Good, Old-Fashioned, Fam ily Celebration. The people of Condon and vicinity have decided to have a basket picnic on July 4th, and will utilize the large new livery stable for shelter, which will an swer the purpose just as well as a grove. There will be barbecued beef and mut ton, and everything else that goes to make up a first-class celebration. The exercises during the day will consist of racing, dancing, singing,' plug-uglies, and grand fireworks In the evening. At night there will be a grand ball, the pro ceeds of which will go to the school. Everybody cordially invited. OKDKR OF BXBKC1HBS; At 10 o'clock, grand martial parade at the new building.

Mrs. Goff has been very sick the past few days, and at present she is not able to be about. The weather the last week has been very warm, tbe thermometer reaching 98 In the shade. . Grandma Vickern was in town Sunday, the first since receiving a tall from a horse some weeks since. Two beef-buyers were in town this week, and paid a good round sum for ail the beef cattle they could get. Sheepmen have been quite prevalent in our town lately, for the purpose of procuring "mucamuc" for their camps. The stage from Condon arrived at past 9 laet Monday, which is tolerably fair evidence that tbe driver must have him 'em a few times on tbe back. . It is fairly presumable that the cele bration here on the will be a success, juding from the IXL bitters on tap. Of course tbe hellish stuff is bound to bring harmony and enjoyment. Tbe tin cans the hoys have collected for tbe benefit of a certain unmarried young couple, are beginning to get pret ty rusty (tbe cans) ,and the boys blame Charley for this agonizing suspense. Carl Wagner, a prominent young Btockman of Wagner, came over Mon day to let us know that he knocked out his opponent in the race for assessor of Grant county, by a majority of 150, and Carl appears to be glad of it. The ground puppies are fat and gay, but tbe grain is - beginning to show the effectB of their vigorous appetite. Rain is badly needed, but if we don't get it, the less fuss we make about it, the less annoyance it will be to tbe neighbors. Rev. Wise came over from the metrop olis Saturday and on Sunday he preach ed to large and appreciative congrega tions. He left an appointment to preach here again in four weeks. Rev. R. H. Sherrill, "from everywhere but here," also preached five sermons here during the week, and left an appointment for next winter; Cowboy. Patriotism.- In order to show our appreciation of the nation's birthday, next Monday, Ju ly 4th, we will sell anything in our store at cost for cash. This is no hum bug. Try us and see for yourselves. L. W. Daruko & Co. . Gratitude. Asa pleasant-faced woman passod the corner, Jones touched his hat to her and remarked feelingly to bis companion : ' "Ah, my boy, I owe a great deal to that woman." . , . "Your mother, I presume." "No, my landlady." A GREAT RACKETV There was a great Racket on Madison street, in Chicago the other night, at the Wholesale Cigar House of Banghart Bros. The firm had placed in their win dow a mechanical advertising device, that so attracted the pushers that the en tire sidewalk was obstructed with peo ple. A subordinate officer attempted to compel the firm to remove the machine and the matter was referred to ft'h supe rior officer, who at once exonerated Messrs. Banghari Bros.-, and Was so amused with the" workings of the ma chine that be purchased a quasters worth of the "Great Racket" Be.
