The Old Reliable Hardware
House of San Antonio.

n There is, perhaps, no house in South
west Texas which has as large a circle of
friends and acquaintance as the above
house. Louis Huth, Jr,, is known to al
most every man and boy i'll the surround
ing country, and everybody speaks of
him as the genial, whole-souled Louis.
He is now the county assessor of Bcxar
county, and received the largest farmers
vote of any man running for office,
which is an indication of the high esteem
in which the business integrity and char
aeter of the man is held by the people.
His duties i'll the Office of county assessor
will not interfere with him occupying
the same position of always being on
hand at the store to attend to the wants
of hundreds of old customers who wish
Louis to wait on them and supply their
wants. We believe this old establish.
ment is entitled to all the success is has
gained and we feel assured that theii

A FATAL ACCIDENT.
w. A. Weymouth. an Old Resi-
dent OF Cheney, Accidentally
Killed While Hunting.
Ho Goes Out Hunting, and Failing
to Return, Search Reveals
His Dead Body.

a sad accident happened near
Cheney last Thursday, whereby Mr..
w. n. Weymouth, proprietor of u
butcher shop In that town, lost his
life.
Mr.. Weymouth started alone on
the day named ON horseback for u
days hunting. Not returning in
the evening, some uneasiness was
experienced by his family on ac-
count of his absence, This uncasl-
ness became intense anxiety when
the missing man had not returned
Friday morning. Nelghbors were
informed and searching party
organized. All dny Friday the
search was vigorously prosecuted,
In the evening, when about three
miles south Oi Cheney, Mr., Wey-
mouths horse was seen standing
quietly IA short distance ahead.
fastening to the spot the party
found Mr.. Weymouth lying dead
ON the ground with an ugly shot
gun wound In his left breast. From
the position of the body, one leg
lying over the bride rein, the pre-
sumption Is that while Mr.. Wey-
mouth was mounting his horse his
gun was accidentally discharged,
killing him instantly.
Mr.. Weymouth, who was about
30 years of age, was an old resident
of Cheney and II highly esteemed
citizen. He leaves IA widow and
six children, the youngest about 2
wears old.

The Esperienes Of tho second Bfan

John Bennett, the only man on ths
coast who ever reached the topof Mount
Baker, except Coleman, has been inter
viewed by the Reveile as to his trip tn
Mount Baker. tho monarch OF noun
tains. He informs tho reporter that he
came to Beliingham bay in 1850. he
came from Illinois. The party who
attempted thu ascent OF Mount Baker
consisted Of himself Coleman and Ten

and waited until Bennett and Coleman
returned. AT an elevation OF 1000 feet
the mercury was 10 degrees above zero.
At $50 feet it had been ~ fdegrses above

padded at the rate OF fifteen miles per
hour, carried the party to the hard work.
Then the jungle. Tue southwest side OF
the mountain whore the ascent had
necessarily to be male, was very dan
gcrous on account Of ayalanches and
sliding ice. lie says; I'VE thereiorc
started ut day There Is no animal
life on the mountain above the timber
line but white grouse. ON tho south
west side there are Indications Of gold.
Tho creek beds all show color. Aiming
the interesting things discovered by me
on the mountains was q peculiar species
Of Erica or heather. The specimen ! So
cured had never before been found
in America. II Is covered with .iiow
eight months In the year. There
are three varieties Of 1t, and the
blossoms are variously white, PURPLE
and yellow. l have letters from the

on the continent. There is undoubt-
cdly marble on the South Fork. The
chasms on the northwest side OF the
mountain are of frightful depth and IL
REQUIRES the strongest nerve to pass
along them ON the ginring ice. Tho top
OF the mountain Is solid ice and snow.
The timber is ine--thc higher you get
the finer the timber Till you reach The
timber line. White pine - scarce on tho
mountain, but occasionally magnineent
spccimens are found. The crater lies TO
the south from the summit and
we were not ~ anxious about thar ~
to reach the top Of the mountain
From the top the smoke could piainly
be seen rising. and tho sulphurous suneil
was plainly preceptible after we reached
the snowline have seen the noun
tain belching fire several times. There
Is no question In the world about the
mountain being an active volcano. IT'S
NOT like yesuvius and Etna and the ter
rible volcanoes OF Java, but tho noun
tain is undoubtedly still active. The
glaciers are at the southwest SIDE OF the
mountain. | am now Is years OF age
and regard the trip to the mountain as
a markell event In my life.
The climbing of the mountain along
the stupendous clifts and the scaling OF
walls rising at an angle Of seventy de
erees. the avoidance of the yawnins
chasns made the trip fully equal 10 tn
of An ascent OF Mount Blanc.

Elopsd with a Giri.


tNalla Walla journal.
IL will be remembered that u very
young couple arrived In this city
last Saturday morning, claiming to
be man aud wife, but refusing to
register at the Stinc when asked to
do 80. The young man, whose real
name is Sanders, proved to be u
rustler, however, and managed to
secure work with one of Walla Wal
las prominent farmers, Mr.. Harvey
Mcclure, with whom he aud his
wife left the city the evening Of the
same day. fphe young man was
very anXious to secure work, rs he
said they had no money, He stated
II lac could lust get work FOR his wife
for the present, Inc would he -utis-
fed. He further said they hailed
from La Grande, where they had
been ut work, lie looked II mere
boy, and subsequent events show
that he IL but Is years of age. This
morning, on II freight train from
Pondleton, the young husbands
brother, Elvln Sanders, arrived In
the city in search of the missing
couple.
Itappears that cupid's dart and
stubborn parents are the cause of
this sudden departure from home
and friends of such young couple.
The young man has just arisen from
a-siclS bed, and was Ia mo- condition
to take on himself the response
bilities devolying upon the head of
II family. The young girls name
was Mary Dement,, and, as her par
ents objected to her wedding the
subject Of her choice, she consented
10 elope with young Sanders, which
they did one week ago last Wcdnes-
day night. They arrived In La
Grande on the Friday following,
and this city as recorded above.
There home was in WallowL valley.
The brother left this city to-day
about II o'clock for MIR. McGuire's
farm, located seven miles from here,
on Russell creek. lie Is anxious to
find them aud help his brother, as
he says he X not able To work. be-
ing afflicted with spinal trouble.
lie did not return In time for us to
ascertain whether he found them or
not but there seems 10 be no doubt
that he Is on the right track.

About D O'clock Friday evening

ut the above named hotel Till about
i:3o saturday morning, when they
were promptly called up, put into
the bus and started for the train,
which they took, ANA are now far
on their way, we hope, rejoicing.
The whole party was quite YER
daut. The Young man aud his
nowly-mude wife came into the Dol

stove among the loungers, and when
told they could go up to the parlor,
said, "Oh, this Is good enough"

RooHroRo, March 1.-THE robins and

fences and tree tops singing and rejoio-
ing that spring Is h 10 again. Tho snow
is ing away fast nom the warm rays
Of the sun, and the green gtass is peep
ing up In every direction. Tho ground
is so thoroughly saturated with water
and will be for some time on account Of
the snow going OIL so slowly, that 1t
looks now like suns thing on one Of
the largest crops OF grain that this
country has ever produced. Our farmers
are all encouraged with the bright prUs-
poets before them.
Travel is increasing, and number Of
new faces can bc seen ON our streets
every day. A large portion Of them are
looking loriinrms and new homes.
Rev. w. q. Becbe, OF Rathdrum,

Mr.. George W. Tfuax, Of Pennington,
was on our streets Inst week. lilo reports
the Union Pacific will soon put on an
extra fast train between Portland and
Spokane Fails. That will be great
convionco TO the whole community.
We hear 1t whispered tnat one OF tho
great things that may take place before
next fall is the Great Northern railroad
coming through the CGur d'Alenes
across the 81. Joe river down Rock
creek, through Rockford TO Spokane
Falls, and from there to deep water on
Sound. We will welcome that road.
Now as that Objectionable land grab

OF the senate Will defeat II, as 1t should
bc, and show to the world that they are
composed Of intelligent and honest men.
We never looked for anything better
from Mr.. CLARK, but we do expect nnd
look for intelligent and honest business
transactions from the members Of our
state senate. That body Of men, even
tine Western mOmbcrs, can not Afford 70
