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. ,

An enormous crowd of people will cel
ebrate at Condon next Monday. Sev
eral other places in the county we un

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

er In it and attach ribbons. This is to

show the bangs and pretty face to ad
vantage;

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

able to walk as well as ever.

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.-

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

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

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
