He was very young a.t the time, and wannade a trusty, soon after reaching the pri son, thus materially reducing; hds time of service. i ' , Since him release from the prison Moxley has been one of the moat law abiding citizens j in Wallowa county, and the leading men In that section of Oregon signed the petition for his re storation to citizenship, Sheriff A. J. McKinnon, of Burns, Harney county, was In Salem yester day, having brought down two prison ers to the penitentiary. The men were Loren and Albert Williams, both con victeaof larceny in a dwelling, and sentenced to one year and eighteen months imprisonment, respectively.

Dallas Itemlzer: The cost of the court house as as certained to date: Architect's com mission, $1,450; contract price for base- men t. $5,850; extra for basement, $484; 1 contract price for superstructure, $24, 932; heating apparatus, $2,323; electric wiring and nxture. S3&; outside sew er and basement floor, $492; superin tendent employed by county, $340.75; water tank, $46; labor not included In contracts, advertising, etc., $100; total. $37,739. A fine well has been dug in the court house basement to supply water for the 1,500 gallon tank in the third story. The building Is being lathed and fix tures for electric lighting are being placed. The stone cutters and brick layers have finished and gone. The red tile looking metal roof Js quite handsome and the metal cornice now being put on makes the building still prsttler. l..h3j-a no court house was ever built with less friction or 'adverse comment than that for Polk countyJ now approaching completion.' The contractors have tried to do their whole duty in the matter, and both the county court and the people have closely watched its progress with a split! of approval. When completed It will have cost at least $10,000 less than any other as good building In the state. Some who thought it was not . , . mnls.7ti ,, ir going to be as symmetrical and Im-L. poking as it might be, are changing thtlr minds as the structure comes near the finishing point. It will be a thing of beauty without and of con venlence within and will last for gen erations. SOME STAYTON BIDS. Stayton;Mall: The Initial steps are being taken to wards building a pulp mill at Niagara. Mr. Onell of Portland is superintend ing a force of men. The creamery project, is going right along. The proposition meets with general favor and when the paper Is circulated there will be plenty of offers for stock. 9 One capitalist who has money to loan, offers to take the whole 1 I V 1 ITT l I & J . raining the funds. Mr. Brown expects to start the project during the present week and get what money is needed. The Kingston-Lyons telephone pro ject is assured of success. Several dav aao when: the surcrlptlom paper was last heard from 143 shares had been subscribed to its stock. Much of i - . t s . . f thus was coninnuiea oy wrii-iu-uu farmers In the Fox valley neighbor hood. There is also a move being made at Mehama to get connection, which It should. Superintendent Sul livan of the C. ft E. railroad went up the line recently and It was estimated that the expense of new poles, heavy enough to carry two wires, would be onhr Z30. This, th pnmminv will b asked to pay. tmsldes one-half the ex-' pense of keeping up the-line In future ! A NEW OWNER. Corvallis Times: II. F. Fischer, of the Corvallis Flour ing Mills, has purchased a large flour ing mill at Silverton, Marion county, and ha taken possession. The mill Is one formerly j operated by William Dunbar, the opium smuggler, and is of 130 barrels capacity. 100 barrels larger than the local Fischer mill. It is valued about $25,000. Mr. Fischer went to Silverton to make repairs and Im provements In j the mllL which will re quire about a month o complete. At the. end of that time the mill will be put In active operation. The purchase was made because the local mills has been unable to fill Its orders Jor flour, and for sometime Mr. Fischer baa been compelled to sell the product of other mills under his own brand, a process that was unsatisfactory.

A startling' incident, of wfclcb Mr. John Oliver of Philadelphia, was the subject. Is narrated by him as follows; "I was in a most dreadful condition. My skin was almost yellow, eyes sunk en, tongue coated, pain continually in back and sides, no appetite gradually grownlng weaker day .by day. Three physicians had given me up. Fortu nately, a friend advised trying 'Electric Bitters; and to my ereat Joy and sur prise, the first bottle made a decided improvement. I continued their use for three weeks, and am now a well man, I know they saved my life, and robbed the grave of another victim." No one should fall to try them.

LV E3DED Eoof on Kitchen Finished and Steel Ceiling- If Being- Constructed A Patient Dies. (From Daily, Nov. I2th.) On account of the fact that the ap propriation of $30,000 for the erection of the new wing at the Oregon asylum for the insane is about exhausted, the management of that institution will not be able to entirely complete the contemplated improvements by Janu ary X. 1900, as was Intended, ana tne new structure win not oe reaay xor occupancy before March 1st, as all the work In the building hereafter and under way now. will be done by the regular asylum force of workmen and by patients. The new structure is wen under way to completion, and the plasterers are now at work in the second story lath ing and plastering and will soon finish up the rooms on that floor. The win dows are all in their places, and the roof has been completed. , The gal vanized Iron j work for the -contract, which was secured by Hopkins Bros., of Albany, will be placed during this week. A portion of the new wing will be ready for occupancy soon, and some relief will thus be afforded the man agement, in - relieving the present over crowded condition of the wards, by making more room for the state's charges. The work on the new kitchen for the asylum is also progressing favorably. The structure has been roofed, and the steel ceiling is now being put in place. When this is finished the floor will be laid and, as far as the present appro priation . goes, the building will be completed. A considerable force of trusties, pa tients of the institution, were yester day employed In raking the beautiful and spacious lawn at the insane asy lum, gathering up the-dead leaves and burning them. The improvement af ter this treatment of the lawn was marked, and the institution presented most excellent appearance to the passerby, surrounded by the well kept lawn, spreading out like a beau tiful green carpet around the pile of brick Ibulldings. John Brannon, committed to the asylum from Lane county seven years ago, died yesterday, aged 70 years. The wife of the deceased is also a pa tient in the Institution, having been committed a short time after her hus band. The deceased has many friends In Lane county, but there are no rel atives known to the authorities, and the remains will be Interred at the asylum cemetery. . CHESTNUTS AS FOOD. The Poor Often Make Two Meals Day an Them. We have little Idea in thls country to what a considerable extent the nut is used for food In a few foreign land, says the Philadelphia Times. Out consuls have been sending Infor mation on this subject from far and wide, and the facte here given " are condensed from a number of these re ports. We are trying to teach for eign nations that Indian corn is an excellent article of food, but most of the European pheasants still believe that maize 1 fit only to fatten hogs and beef cattle. Many of these same persons sit down to a dish of steamed chestnuts with much relish and are content If they have nothing else. Throughout the center of France, from the Bay of Biscay to Switzer land, there are large plantations rfnd Almost forests of chestnut trees. TheJ nuis are very large, resemDie . ri the American horse-chestnut and are ex tensively eaten by the pheasantry and anlmaU. In the fall and winter the poor often make two meals . a day on chestnuts. They are steamed and eaten with salt, or milk, and physi cians say 4hey are wholesome, hearty. nutritious and fattening. In some parts of France walnuts elso are a regular article of diet, but they are losing ground as an article of food because of their comparative scarcity. Walnuts are also used to make oil, ,and the convicts in some prisons are employed cracking the nuts and picking out the kernels, from which the ol is expressed. Almonds grow well in the middle and Southern part of France, and while the shell is soft, green snd ten der the nut is sold largely as a table article. The meat Is white and creamy. Hazlenuts are always high priced and are a luxury. The peaunt is rarely eaten in France, though the taste for it is growing. It is Import ed In enormous quantity for its oil. A few years aeo there was a good deal of talk about : the merits of bread made of peanut flour, and It was thor oughly tested in the German army, where., for a little while. It was a part of the ration issued to a number of regiments. It was declared to be too highly concentrated and an Irritating kind of food, and the soldiers didn't like It. The use of peanut flour was accordingly discontinued. In Italy almonds are eaten while green or soft, as desert by the well-to-do, but the poor cannot afford them. Chestnuts arc the only nuts that enter Into (he regular diet of the people. Almonds, filberts and walnuts are more of a luxury and - re served as dessert or with wine at social gather ings. :5 The chestnut almost takes the placs in Core that the potato occupies in the western world. It is used raw, boiled, roasted, cooked with meat, and in other ways, In Syria nut are not part of the regular diet, but enter In the composition of some peculiar native dishes, "Nuts in this country." writes our consul at Alexandria, may be classed as a luxury, for use dessert, and for consumption by the natives at night Just before geing to bed."

FROM CAPE NOME. Captain II. L. Hatch, Writes an Inter esting Letter. Eugene Guard: H. L. Hatch, for merly captain of the United States nagboat, Mathloma, but for the past two years captain of a boat belonging to the Alaska Exploration Co., ' run Ding from St. Michael to Dawson, writes W. M. Renshaw an interesting letter regarding the Cape Nome coun try, from which the following ex tracts .are taken; the letter was writ ten at St. Michael and bears date of September 22d. . "I have quit the A. E.

"I saw hundreds of men working on the beach, and not one of them was making less than $10 a day, and some had averaged from Uiree to ten times that amount. Steve Allison, our old cook on tbs Corvallis, had been work ing on the beach a.bout six weeks, and told me that he had cleaned up a little over $300 a week. The stretch of beach, which Is known to be rich enough to pay at least $10 per day to the man. Is esti mated to be rich from 50 to 100 miles. I think that there is about 30 miles of the beach being w;orked now.
