Shocking Accident.

So read the headlines of many newspaper column, and we peruse with palpitating in- terest the details of the catastrophe, and are deeply impressed by the sacritiee of human lives involved. Yet thousands of men and women are falling victims every year to that terrible disease, consumption (scrofula of the lungs). and they and their friends are satis- fed to believe that malady incurable. Now, there could be no greater mistake. No earth ly power, of course, can re- tore a lung that is entirely wasted, but Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery will rapidly and surely ar rest the ravages of consumption, if taken in time Do not, therefore, depair, until you have tried this wonderful remedy.

"A SAD DEATH.
A BOY T& elvc Nesrs Ola Fniis Over
n tilIff TwO tIurdrcl rect High,
Ind L. b. und Dead la a Nude
Condition

The little town of Giant was thrown into
a terrible state of excitement yesterday
over the loss Ola boy, who had been missed
since the preceding afternoon. John Henry
O'Neil, aged about II years, q resident Of
Umatilla, and son to Mr.. Barney O'Neil,
had been visiting at Grant for some days
past. Last Sunday afternoon he left in
company, with some other boys, and on the
arrival of the west-bound passenger tram,
which was three hours late, message came
to Mr.. Neil Mcleod to send the boy home
on the first train. Mr.. Mcleod began to
search for the boy. and continued it until
3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, when he was
found dead under bluff about two hundred
feet high In a nude condition. One arm
and leg was broken and there were bruises
about the head. His clothes were found
near a lake, above the bluff and 1t is sup
posed he was bathing and in playing around
fell oyer the declivity. His parents came
from Umatilla on the afternoon train yes
terday, and the first view they had of their
darling boy was when his mangled remains
were brought to the depot.
There is considerable mystery hanging
around the death of this boy which perha ps
Will never be explained. 1t is very strang Q
that on such cool day as Sunday he should
haYe hathed in the cold water, and that in
his nude condition he should have wandered
to the edge of the precipice. If it had been
light he could have seen and avoided the
danger, and it is inexplicable that he did
not clothe himself after nightfall. Johnnie
was good boy, and had the reputation of
being very obedient to his parents. What
induced him to bathe at that particular
time. and apparently alone, cannot be ex-
planned. The little town was perfectly
horror-stricken when he was found, and it
is the most tragical event that has ever
happened In the history of Grant.
Mr.. Mcleod came to the city on freight
yesterday evening and procured a oaslist
and the remains will be taken to East Port
land for interment. The entire community
sympathize with the grief-stricken parents
in their sad affiiction.

The DALLES, Nov. 4, 1889.
EDITOR TINES -MoUNTAINEER:.
There is no question in my mind but that
there will be considerable suffering during
the coming winter over the district in this
county that has suffered from the failure Of
crops. But the suffering will be, in the
majority of cases, endured quietly. The
most deserving and those most in need of
assistance will be those who will never let
their needsbe known till they are compelled
to, or till some one well acquainted with
them makes the discovery. Moreover, it is
not donations such people want. They are
willing tc pay for everything they need,
and only lack the ability. The merchants
are treating the vast majority very gener-
ously by carrying over all they are able.
Ex-Governor Moody has done vastly more
than his share in furnishing seed wheat to
hundreds. But there are still hundreds of
farmers who never had much credit at the
best, who are unsupplied with seed and
bread and the clothing necessary to defend
them from the rigors of the coming winter.
Some of these have no credit but they have
their needs all the same, and no one can ex-
pect the merchants to open new accounts
for such, or turn their firms into eleemosy-
nary institutions. The merchants will
have done well when they carry their old
customers and meet their own obligations.
The bare possibility Of such state OF affairs
should cause something to be done. 1t IS
easy enough to appoint committee, but II
such a committee waits till the worst cases
of need come before it, 1t may wait a long
time. I suggest that measures be adopted
to make thorough investigation, and as
means to this end communication should be
opened with every Grange Lodge in the
burnt district, and each lodge be constituted
committee of Investigation to report to
secretary appointei or to be appointed here.
1 merely present the crude suggestion,
without any attempt at debating measures,
my main object being to start an investiga-
tion, that can do no injury even if it is dis
covered that no one is in need

EIGHT MILE, Nov. 4, 1889.


Editor TINES -MorNrANEER:
The prolonged silence Of your Eight Mile
correspondent should not be taken as an In
dication of lack OF interest. For the re-
coil produced by the utter failure of the
land to respond as usual to our honest and
earnest efforts, caused one and all to turn
their attention to more sober channels Of
thought, viz: devising ways and means by
which they might best overcome the effects
SO vividly realized. But now that everyone
has about completed satisfactory arrange
ments, and neighbar greets neighbor with
the usual friendly "Good Morning" and
common place chat, and each one seems to
have resumed the ''even tenor of his way"
the song of the plowman can again be
heard, the golden grain Is again being show
cred upon the fertile earth, and confidence
seems to be fully restored.
Your correspondent, mindful Of the M
terest that the TINES -MoUNTAINEER has
always taken in the welfare Of the settlers
of the country tributary to The Dalles,
again takes up the rusted pen, to contribute
few news notes to that valued weekly
visitor. First let me say that the copious'
showers we had last week has already given
spring-like tInge to the pastures, and
caused the young germ of wheat to push up
through the mellow earth, and wave and
smile over this barren waste.
DR.. Koontz and wife, of Wasco, are VS.
iting at his old home. The doctor will
probably remain with US for some time, in
order to be free from the calls of his profess
sion, that he may fully recover from the
effects of his recent illness, during which
time we shall endeavor to make them feel at
home and ourselves enjoy their splendid
company.
Mrs. Kitty Sears, of Seattle, WASH, is

ness at his old stand on the Canyon CITY
