Miss Louella Maddock, who had been attending St. Joseph's academy at Pen dleton for the last nine months, returned home today. She will probably return to the college again this fall. Her brother Frank, who Is attending school at Mt Angel, will retnrn borne next week. L.

Miss Birdie, the only surviving member. Murderer Durrant was reprieved Fri day. Governor Budd decided upon this course in order to settle the question of the rights of the federal courts to Inter fere In the execution of a sentence im posed by the state court.

It is so dry in California just now that he moon raises a dust as It passes through the sky. The moistnre has all evaporated out of the milky way until it looks like a long trail of pulverised chalk, and the farmers throw pebbles on the stables to make the cows think it is rain falling and not become discouraged.1 Grasshoppers are doing considerable damage in Morrow county.

We have learned positively that the Globs is read by every voter and tax payer in Gilliam county. The couple of dosen people who are not subscribers, borrow the paper every week from their neighbors and read it anyway. Send It to your friends in the Eatt or elsewhere after reading It; it will save the trouble of writing letters. Ed A. Putnam, his brother-in-law, has just sent to Benton Mires his (Mires) saddle to Drain, Douglas county. Bent expects to ride over the mountains next month to his fine farm on West fork and will remain op here awhile looking after bis Interests in thia county. He baa been acting as deputy assessor of Doug las county for some time. , The poor sheepmen are catching thun der on all corners. The Idaho cattle men are at war with the sheepmeu who luvade their range, break down the banks of irrigation ditches, contaminate the streams and make trouble generally. They bave organlxod the Farmers' Pro tective association of Camas Prairie, to keep the sheep off the range. Remembering that Oregon has neither the blizxards and cyclones of the Eaat nor the burning summers of California, it is time Gilliam county was settling up with new settlers. Instead of hav ing a population of only 8,500, this coun ty could easily' support 50,000 people. More of an effort should be made to in duce immigration to the county. J. A. MoMorris has been engaged as principal of the Condon ' school and Miss Mabel llalstead for the primary department, for, the term commencing August 80th.

Charley Fix has just had erected on top of his barn a large water tank, which his windmill will keep constantly full of water. He has pipes , leading from it to troughs in his stable, also to his kitchen and store, and It will alto be Invaluable in case of fire. Charley has spent a great deal of money in improv ing his place, and deserves credit for it. Tbe hard times bave forced a new style among country editors, "and many 6t them wear a belt Instead of suspen ders. When they get word from home that there is nothing for dinner they simply tighten the belt 'another notch and feel too full for utterance. Mrs. J. W. Ebbert's brother and bis wife, Mr. 'and Mrs. Crabtree, who have been visiting their relativei here several days, left- this week for their borne at Creswell, Lane county, going overland. RoyEbbert and his sister Lilliewent with them to visit relatives la Lane county several weeks. Roy will bring a header with him when he returns ne'it month. For various reasons, Condon will not celebrate this Fourth, after all. Our band has not practiced any this sum-' mer and could not get in practice in that time; and the death of Claude Henshaw leaves a vacancy In the band that would be impossible for a new roan to fill in such a short time. Our people will be content to Islt the neighboring celebra tions this year. Hon. W. W. Steiwer, of Fossil, Gil liam county, ex-state senator, is regis tered at the Imperial. He says that tbe large sales 'of cattle and the Increased price obtained and the Urge wool clip are making good times in Gilliam. The grain outlook is also exceedingly good, and, if the hot winds do not prevail to a great extent, there will be an abundant harvest Friday's Oregonian. The present prices are very encourag ing to cattlemen. ' The poorest scrub in the herd is -now bringing better prices than tbe best stock on the ranges did two years ago. But the question it, what will tbe next few years bring forth?' In some instances even calves have been sold and the entire brand shipped out of tbe country. No wonder young calves are in such demand. Rev. Bade writes from Weston that Rev. A. R. Olds will arrive at Condon Bato relay and will preach here next Sunday, morning and evening. He will also preach every evening next week, and a cordial invitation is extended to all to attend tbe revival meetings, re gardless of their religious beliefs. Rev. Bade will take the place of Rev. Olds at Weston until after the revival here. Monday afternoon George Hosted, of Fossil, while unloading wool at one of the warehouses, stepped on a small rock, turning his right ankle, and breaking the bones of the leg about two inches above it. Dr. Hollister reduced, the' fracture, and Husted tbat night express ed his determination to start home next day, but changed bis mind and will re main several days. Dalles Chronicle. California is going to force wide tires upon its farmers, with threats of fearful pnuiahnient. Tbe new Maw goes into effect January 1, 1000. Any person who sells, purchases or brings into tbe state after that date vehicles with tires of less width than specified In the law shall be fined 825 to $500, or imprisoned 25 days or six months. Tires are to be from three inches to six inches wide, accord ing to site of axle. For the last couple of months it seems that each week from half a doxen to a doten Globes turned np missing in the poet office here, which causes consid erable complaint among our subscrib ers. To make sure that no mistake is made in the Globe office we will here after compare lists each week after tbe names are written on tbe papers. We did that last week, but half a dosen or more turned np missing in the postoffice, just the same. Any of our subscribers who fail to get their paper regularly will do us a favor by reporting tbe fact at this office. . . it W. J. Bryan has concluded to make a speech at Pendleton in tbe afternoon of July 13th. A tent will be put up large enough to seat 20,000 people, and the Ry. companies will reduce the rates from all Oregon, Idaho and Washington points. A number of Gilliam county ites will be there to hear the "next president of tlie United States" as he is introduced everywhere. His next speech will be at Salt Lake. Even John Wanamaker, the great Pennsylvania re publican statesman, says it would lie as easy to keep tbe earth from revolving as to keep Bryan from reaching the presH dent's chair jn 1000. The Examiner prise drawing took place last week. Californians won all the big prices this time. F. Brunnegot Sacramento got the $10,000 farm, Wm. Glasford of Fresno the $5,000 gold nng get, and Mits S. E. Hughes of Los Annies ber weight in silver. The only Gilliam countyites who won anything are : Chat.

W. Darling. The suit originated several years ago by Putnam going on Madden'a note aa seenrity. The amount he is suing for now is something like $240, whioh includes the attorney fees and costs of the case. It is a very much complicated affair and will necessitate Judge Bradshaw putting dn his host thinking cap in deciding it. Hendricks Bros, are counsel for the plaintiff aud Lyona'Broa. for the tlefwidaut. Paul Beck, father of John Beck, who was killed at a dance last winter at Cleveland, Wash., by Frank Castile, hat a two-column article in the Golden dendale Agriculturist, roasting tbe jury, district attorney, sheriff and others whom he thinks had a hand in acquit ting Castile at his recent trial. He closet his letter as follows: Tbe his tory of this trial suggests two things to me very forcibly. One is, that the time has come when the jury system in tbe U. K. should be abolished in all suits involving murder. And instead thereof the judge of the county or district as the case may be, be authorized to call two judges front neighboring counties, who together with himself shall try the case and decide on the guilt or innocence of the party tried; thai placing the decis ion beyond the possibility of being given by ignorant, vicious or corrupt men.
