Pickled Cinnamon.

William Arnold, of Eagle Cliff, who Is at

to perform recently an embalming operation
on two Cinnamon, that was a novelty in

Rats.

The habits of wood rass are well known
TO al men VINO live on wharves or near tim
Der; but the most remarkable freaks of these
rodents were told us to-day. At the mess
house, about five miles east of this city, sew
eral valuable articles were missed, among
which were spoons, knives, forks, and even
purses, money, etc. One of the men was
suspicioned, and was given his time. Some
days afterwards an investigation was had of
the rocks behind the house, and there in the
crevices were found purses, cutlery OF every
description, and napkins and towels. But
the most astonishing freak Of these rats was
given US by Mr.. Mat Blasen. He had
tarrel of pretzels in the store-house, and one
morning testing the weight he thought it
was empty. He examined both sides and
ends, and could see no place where rat
had effected an entrance. By this time his
curiosity had become excited, and upon
closer scrutiny discovered the impression of
rat teeth around knot. Pushing the knot
out the fact was soon made known that
every pretzel was abstracted, and the knot
replaced in the most careful and cunning
manner. Further investigation found the
pretzels uninjured in a corner OF the ware
house, piled IN regular order. At this juno
ture, Mr.. Owen Williams came to the res.
cue of Mat, and stated as positive fact that
one day he watched five rats maneuvering
to get at some boneless herring boxes. They
were at a-considerable height from the
floor, and the first rat raised himself on his
hind feet and stood stationary. The second
mounted his shoulders, and so on until five
rats stood on each others shoulders. The
uppermost one then commenced to throw
down these small toxes of homeless her.
rings, until dozen boxes were on the floor.
After this had been accomplished, On the
backs of the first two rats were mounted
box, and then the next two took their turn,
and SO ON until these twelve boxes were re-
moved distance of twenty yards and de-
posted in safe and secure place. These
stories seem almost Incredible; but it is
only necessary to approach Mat Blasen or
Owen Williams when In their best humor
and say ''rats' and the truth of this rela-
tion of facts will be verified.

Moody's and the Wasco warehouse are
simply crowded with wool In every possible
nook and corner, and the platforms are full
on the outside. In company with friend
from the east we passed through the long
alleys between these thousands of bales OF
wool, and he was astonished beyond ex-
preston. He had no idea that this vast
amount of wool could be produced in this
country, and when we told him OF our
salmon catch this season Isl tons to wheel
in one nIght), our export of fruit (Seufert
Bros. shipped 1000 boxes of peaches in one
week to st. Paul last fall) and the loco, 600
bushels of wheat which are raised in Wasco
county, he was dumbfounded that there
were no factories here, and his query was,
What is the matter with your people? 1t
was enigmatical to him, and he finally said,
Your business men are pursuing suicidal |
policy not to turn this wool into fabrics, |
have fruit cannery and beef and pork
packing establishments. ''Why," he said,
you are losing money every day these in
lustries are not in operation; for, without
loubt, The Dalles has the best natural re.
ources of any city in the northwest" We
tried to apologize as best we could for the
which prevaded the commu-
ity; but we could see there was an air of
oubt on the mind of the man, and he left
n the early morning train for Pendleton.

tanned queer passenger. He was manacled
and in charge of the sheriff of Baker county.
His hair was long and matted, his beard
was twisted and tangled, and his eyes wore
the wild and startled expression Of the
maniac. The unfortunate mans name is
Kohler. He is a miner, and lived IN lone
ly cabin in the neighborhood of Durkee.
His solitude brooded insane fancies, and he
imagined that two women were attempting
to poison his food. Later he thought he
had received orders from divine source to
horsewhip two men. He armed himself
with blacksnake and went to Durkee.
Seeing two men on the streets he advanced
toward them, and belabored one unmerci-
fully before he could escape. He then
turned bis attention to the other with the
remark, 81 guess I'll commence on you,"
but the victim eluded his grasp. The au.
thorities were notified, and the maniac was
soon under lock and key.
1t is learned that Charles Downey and

at Durkee. They had been out prospecting,
and were at the station, ready to return

Determined Suicide.

This morning, while Mr.. Albert Mes
pile was going fishing he saw under a
bridge about quarter of mile from Mr..
John Mesplie's residence-whlch is about
seven miles from this city on Mill creek
the PROSTATE form of Mr.. August Bres-
son, young man who had worked for
MIR. Mesplie. Supposing him to be
asleep, he spoke to him and received no
response. On approaching the body he
found that he was dead, with; pistol iu
his right hand, and bullet hole through
the heart. MIR. Mesplle gave the alarm,
and notified the coroner of the fact. Mr..
Michel summoned jury and immedi-
ately repaired 20 the scene. The facts
learned about the case were that the
young man was a native of France, had
worked for Mr.. John MesplIe nine days
and half, and had left Monday morning
about II o'clock, saying he was going to
herd sheep for some of the neighbors.
This was the last seen of the young man
until found dead. The pistol had been
held close to his heart, as his clothing
was burned, and there is not much doubt
that he committed suicide. Mrs. Mes
pile made the remark to her husband that
his mind seemed wandering while he was
at work for him. He was about II years
of age, and appeared to be sober and In
dustrious. On his person was found
$4OS5 in money and second draft for
1000 francs on the bank of Fresno, Cal.
The remains were brought TO the under.

NOT ISOLATED CASES.

To show that the cures made by joys vege
table Sarsaparilla are not only; not exceptional
cases, but that it helps everybody, we cite a few
instances where two in the same family took II
and were both cured.
Thomas Stephens, of 16s Sixth ST., s. F., took
it for weak stomach and dyspepsia, 1t entirely
cured him. He then gave it to his wife for her
sick headaches, since which time she has had
no return. 1t cured them both.
Mrs. R. L. Wheaton, of 7O4 Post ST., s. F., was
a sufferer from stomach and liver troubles and
biliousness. Finding that it relieved her, she
gave it to little girl living with her whose af-
fiction was large open sore which nothing
seemed to heal. 1t also cured the child.
h. S. winn, of Geary Court, Geary St., 8. F.,
prominent in the Order OF Red Men, was very
feeble and greatly reduced. Joys Vegetable
Sarsaparilla restored his health and accustomed
vigor. He thereupon gave it to his wife who
was similarly afflicted and had nervous prostra-
ton. 1t had the same happy effect upon her it
had upon him. Scores of similar cases could be
cited but We have no room for them here.

| Spokesman: About two months ago sidney
Vawter accompanied dramatic company
to Pullman and concluded to remain. He
had been here but a short time when he
met Miss Bertha Towner. An attachment
sprung up and although the girls parents
objected to such i, course, they decided to
marry. The objections and arguments of
MIR. and Mrs. Towner proved of no avail
however, and Sunday morning, during the
falling rain, Vawter and his ladv-love
drove to Moscow and then across the bor-
der into Idaho, where the knot was tied.
MIR. and Mrs. Vawter returned to Pullman
the same evening and the parents haye

Timothy, the White Mans Friend.



DR.. Kuykendall, who is pretty well &C
quainted with the history of the North
western Indians, furnishes us with The
following sketch of the life of old Chief
Timothy, who died at his home on Alpo.
wal Monday last:
The death of Old Timothy, the aged
Indian Chief, at the mouth of the Alpo-
wal, removes from among us prominent
character in the history of the northwest.
Though a red man, and sprlnging from a
savage race, he had many of the noblest
attributes of humanity. He was always
the white mans friend, and when the red
hand of murder was lifted, and the incen-
diary torch was lighted, Timothy always
stood forth to stay the arm of the de-
stroyer. Timothy and his little band
have lived at the mouth of the Alpowai
for more than threefourths of century,
that is known, and perhaps their ancestors
for many hundred years before. The
Missionary Spaulding planted them an
orchard about 1887, when Red Wolf was
remain yet. Ever since the settlement of
the country, Timothy has been the friend
of the whites. He and number of his
band were early converts to Christianity,
and have lived lives that might shame
many white brother. During one Of
the Indians wars, old Timothy fitted out |
a number of volunteers from among his |
own people and sent them to aid the |
whites against the hostiles. For this act |
of loyalty and friendship toward our own
people, he never received any compensa-
tion. The ponies that the Indian volun-
teers took were lost in the fighting, and
we're never paid for. In 1858, thirty.two
years ago last month, Colonel Steptoe's
command was whipped out by the savage
lordes and driven from the Palouse and
northern country, toward Snake river
The colonel beat hasty retreat, follow
ng down the deep gorge known today as
'teptoe Canyon. When they reached
snake river opposite the mouth of the
Alpowai their horses were jaded, and they
Exhausted. Had it not been for the
riendly help of Timothy and his people
n crossing them oyer they would have all
'een butchered by the blood-thirsty saw
ges. The history of the relations of the
ed men to the whites on the North Amer
can continent affords no brighter page
ban that which records the friendship
nd loyalty of Old Timothy. Though
trapped in the skin of savage, he had
he heart of nobleman. The people of
lis section ought to erect him monu-
lent. The citizens of Pomeroy and Gar
eld county will do their part.
