Mr. Horn reports crops good in those sections, but that a hail storm damaged crops considerable north of 1'eudlcton recently. Assessor W. S. Connor, who was iu the city Saturday from his ranch on Jordan Fork, reports very good crops in his locality, and that wheat barvist would begin on Monday. He says the grssshoppers destroyied some spring grain for him, but sines the rains they re doing little damage. Mr. Albert Wright who returned from Portland ami the Valley last week, whrre lie attended the Pioneers reunion, and visited with friends nesr Oregon city, reports a very plessanl visit. He says crops in the Valley will be almost a failure unless rain conies soon. The hay crop was very short and grain will be almost a failure unless it rains within the next few days, and will be abort even with rain now, The real property of the Hugh Fields estate, which was sold at sheriff's sale last Saturday, by W. II. Goltra, was bid in bv Geo. I. Curriu for :U).0)0, which does not cover the judgments and accru ing costs by nearly f 'plMK).

The real worth of th laud is port than twice that amount. Mri. James Lasatet arrived last week Iroiu Ann Arbor, Michigan, on visit with her parents, Judge and Mrs. T. W. Ayers. G, W.

The next regular meeting of Maple Circle will be held Wednesday evening, July S0. There will be installation of officers and other business to come before the mectiug, A good attendance is desired, Mav Kknton, Clerk. Gen. Conser has been appointed ad nilnistrator of the M. Lichtenthal estate, and S. P. Gatrigues, S. P. Devin and L. W. Hrlggs appraisers. As the work of ascertaining the assets and liabilities of the estate has not been completed the condition of the estate is not known. I'd Mlchell traded, this week, his half interest in the Heppner Giuette to Milton Harlan for the Skaminia County Pioneer, published at Stevenson, Wash. Our business relations with Mr. Michell hsve been very agreeable and we regret bis leaving and wish for him success in his new field. We understand that Mr. Harlan is a newspsper man of consider able experience and doubtless the Gazette will succeed as before under bis and Mr. Warnock's management. W. O. Minor writes us that his Short horns are doing extraordinary well this yesr owing to the abundance of greeu feed. His hay crop will be a heavv one, aud he writes that it may be necessary to borrow some outside land to make room for the hay blacks. Mr. Minor carries the record for potato stories aud hay yarns, but he usually convinces one of the truthfulness of his assersions, so we believe he can cut more hay off a 40 acre field than he can stack on the same land with a long handle hay fork. But it must be some of that "Long Grass" he grows on his Mountain Valley farm, so long that bis farm is not wido enough to stack it ou. Rural Spirit. Funeral of M. Llchtenthal. The Inneral of M. Lielitenthal, who shot himself on Wednesday, was held at the family residence, on West Center street, hiHt Friday afternoon at 3 o'clock, and was very largely attended. Hev. II. L. lteightol of the M. K. church preached the funeral sermon. The services were conducted on the lawn of his beautiful home, aud were very impressive. A procession headed by thi Odd Fellows, Kehrkahs, Kniuhts of Pythia and Maccabeus, orders of which the deceased was a member, formed at the residence, aud behind these a large number of carriages followed the re mains to their last resting place in the lleppner cemetery. The services tit the cemetery were conducted by the 1. O. O. F. Mr. l.iclitenlliiil was born near Ther- essel, (icrntanv, N-ntemlier JH. 1S4. He came to this country when a young man, aud for many years has been en- Haired in the shoe lmsine-s in lleppner, having the only exclusive boot and shoe store in the citv. He has since engaging in the business enjoyed a good trade, lieing of geniel deposition was well liked by all. He was time times elected treasurer of this County, bis third te;in expiring the day he slut himself. He owned considerable realcstate in Heppner besides bis shoe business and carried a $:i(MK) life insurance policy in the Maccabees. oc.ured Wednesday Iu the northeastern partol the county when sixty bead of sheep lieloiiginif to Davis A Kly were killed, Th' se sheep are fnvn tlifl state of Washington, bat had been brought acro-s the, line lo the I'.lue mountain ranges. Also there ar some cattle being ranged in this territory. Wednes day, so it is alleged, three cattlemen set their dogs on a bund of sheep ami chased them into a ravine where they re "piled" and sixty head killed before the herder could get them straightened out. Mr. Kly, one of the owners of the sheep, arrived in Pendleton yesterday for the purpose of securing aid from the sutor llies. He says he knows who the cattle men were and it is believed that he has strong case against them. No warrants have as yet been sworn out by Mr. Ely. This Is the first serious planh between the two stock interests to occur in this county this year. While there have been numerous reports of the slaughter of sheep and csttle in other counties, Umatilla has been peaceful and it was hoped that there would be amicable settlement of a'l disputes. But now that the war has broke out the author ities intend to put a stop to It if pos sible. Pendleton Tribune. j Safeguard the Children. ! Notwithstanding all that is done by boards of health and charitable Inclined persons , the death rate among small children is very high during the hot weather of the summer months in the large cities. There is not probably one case of bowel complaint in a hundred, however, that could not be cured by the timely use of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Iiemedy. For sale by Slocum Drug Co. I Cloudburst at Mitchell. ! One third of the town of Mitchell, in Wheeler county, was destroyed by a flood 25 feet high, which poured down the narrow canyons of Bridge and Mill creeks at 6 o'clock Monday evening, and which was caused by a tremendous waterspout at the headwaters of these two streams. j Martin Smith and a women named 1 Mrs. Bethune, both aged people of about ill), were drowned. The remaining in habitants of the flooded' district were ! barely able to escape the flood. i Twenty-eight buildings, located in the ' canyon bottom directly in the flood's path, were .otnpletely wiped out by the ! wall of water. Three of the buildings ; flooded out were business blocks, the re-! mainder being residences. Mitchell is j a town of about 200 inhabitants. Judge A. B. Parker of New York, was unanimously nominated by the demo- j cystic convention at St. Louis forpresi-i denl. Senator H. G. Davis, of West Virginia, waa nominated lor vice-president. One Lady's Recommendtion Sold ; Fifty Boxes of Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets J I have, I believe, sold fifty boxes of ' Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver , Tablets on the recommendation of one lady here, who first bought a box of them about a year ago. She never tires ! of telling her neighbors and friends about the good qualities of these tablets. P. M. Shore, Druggist, Rochester, Ind. 1 The pleasant purgative effect of these ! tablets makes them a favorhe with Indies every where. For sale by Slocnm Drug Company, High Waters. The extremely heavy rains Monday night caused Willow, Hhea, Hititon, and other smaller streams to overflow their banks, and the result is that very much of the hay crop and gardens along the valley was destroyed and a number of bridges spanning the streams were wash ed out. On upper Hititon creek T. J. Matlock lost part of his hay crop and garden in the valley. Thirty tons of hay in the stack was also duiuiged some. D. Cox. Joe Rector and others lost considerable hay. Ou WilloM creek J. M. I lager. Geo. Currin and others lost a considerable quanity of hay in the field. On Rhea creek some loss of hay is also reported, but nowhere is there au enormous loss, A few small bridges also went out, but the great benefit to crops will doubtless overbalance the damage sustained. The storm did not approach a cloud burst, only a heavy straight rain. True people of lleppner were heightened more or less, owing to last years flood. The llcppn.r branch train did not go out Tuesday morning owing to a weakened bridge near Lexington which was soon repaired. Geo. French, who recently leased the Thus. Quaid place above town for a term of three yevrs, reports that the damage to his hay crop from the heavv rains is not nearly so great as has been reported (13 DR.
