During the past summer seven or
eight head of cattle have mysteriously
disappeared from their usual range in
the neighborhood of Vollmer and no
trace Of them has ever been found, says
the Mirror. A few days ago Amos Bid
olson missed 3-year old heifer from
his band and could not get any trace of
her whereabouts. Last Monday, how
ever, Biddison's dogs came home COW
cred with blood and looking as though
they had been eating from the carcass
o, some animal. He at once started out
to find what the dogs had been eating,
started them off and took up the rear.
They led him in the direction of where
one of the Keys boys lived, and when
near ore of their houses they went into
thicket and to where a big tree had
fallen Out of root. There Mr.. Biddison
found the head, hide and other parts OF

S. Frankel of New York, president of
the North American Gem Opal Mining
Company Of this city, and one Of the
heaviest dealers in precious stone in the
United States, sailed for Europe Tues
day, having in his possession about s.
600 karats of opals that were mined
three and one-half miles from here,
! valued at from $50 to $50 per karat,
which he will dispose of and will also
float $4,000 worth of the company's
stock there. The opals which he has
with him are the result Of the cOmpany's
operations since August. The field
where the mine is located has been pros
pected thoroughly, and it all shows up
as well as the present prospect. The
idea therefore, is apparently to get the
wealthiest capitalists of Europe and the
United States interested to develop the
industry on a gigantic scale. 1t is not
at all improbable that Moscow NAV yet
become the opal mining center of the
United States-or possibly the whole
world. Star.
Wednesday morning a young man
whose name we failed to learn, was com
ing into town, and when in the outskirts
in the south part, discovered third
grown bear raising havoc with some pigs
in pen belonging to E. l.. Ollie, of the
European Hotel. Fastening into town
he procured gun, returned, dispatched
the young thief, and carried the carcass
back. So tame was the cub that the
boy walked up to within few feet of
him before firing. 1t is said that there
are no berries nor feed Of any kind for
them in the mountains, and that the
bears are all coming out this way. This
assertion is borne out by the fact that
number of the animals have been seen
in this and other neighborhoods of late.
Near Oakesdale last Tuesday one of the
Baiior boys killed huge black bear,
which was found roaming about wheat
field. It is thought that there are
others of the family to which the one
killed Wednesday belongs, and that
they are not far off A hunt should be
organized Globe.

During Monday forenoon, John Eft
lich, German farmer, living near Pine
City, arrived in Rosalia with a load of
wheat which he disposed of to Anderson
Bros, says the ROsalia Rustler. After
finishing his business here in town he
started for home and when out about
three miles, by some means or other was
thrown from his wagon, striking his head
upon rock. He was found some time
after by another farmer who CHANGED TO
be passing and removed to the nearest
house in an unconcious condition. DIR.
Ireland was sent for and found that the
skull over the left eye had been fractured,
from which the brain was protruding.
Mr. Ettlich was removed to his home on
tuesday, when the process of trepanning
the skull was resorted to In order to
save his life, which is extremely doubtful,
owing to the extent of the injury.
One day last week Indians set fire to
DR. Elmer's house on his farm three miles
below Snake river bridge, and burned to
! the ground, says the Vedette. The
household goods were entirely destroyed
DR.. Elmer's son had left for Wallula and
the Indians thinking no one was about,
proceeded to burn the house A fire
was built in the front door, and on hear
ing a strange noise a hired man who
happened to be in the house opened the
door, and as the fire had good Roadway
he barely escaped. In the mean time
the Indians made their escape-ledvlng
no clue to their work. Ever since Mr..
EImer's settlement upon this land the
Indians have carried more or less sus-
picious look, and some sneaking work
las been expected for some time. Ii
night be safe to say that the next In
liam who makes his appearance in a sus
olcious manner in the vicinity of tn,
DIS farm will be sent to the happy
Iuntlng ground.

Two carloads Of machinery for Oaks
dale's new electric plant have ar
rived and are now at the depot, says the
Sun. The failure to receive the poles is
a cause of annoyance and delay, but Will
Mccoy went to Spokane Monday to hur-
ry them through and they will doubtless
now arrive very soon Work on the
building will begin next week on the site
selected in the northern part of town.
Messrs. Mccoy intend to push the con
struction rapidly so that the new year
may be ushered in by arc light. SUI
ficlent subscriptions to the lights have
been taken so that the enterprise will
prove at least self-sustaining from the

AN ART CLUB.
A Meeting Saturday Evening to Put the
Organization to Work.

The ladies of GAINESVILLE have up a
project looking to the organization
of an art club. 1t is intended to pre-
vail upon all the ladies in the city
who have a talent for art to join the
club. Requests were sent out to a
large number requesting their pres
ence at Neville's art gallery last Sat
urday evening, for the purpose of or
ganizing. The list is as follows !:
Misses Semple Pettis, Lucy Clark,
Mary Kerr, Lula Drane,s Mamie
Patch, Eva Smith, Mamie Warder,
Jennie McKesson, Carrie McKesson,
Pearl Graham, Imogene Smith,
Mary Luckett, Mamie Johnson,
Natalie Bloch, Grace McKeage, Adj
die Wilson, Laura Cook, Mai Jor-
don, Maria Stacker, Bette Garland,
Meta Belle Wiser; Mrs. G. E. l..
McCauley, Mrs. G. A. Gossett and
Mrs. VIM. Emery, and Mrs. D. S.
Neville. OF the twenty-six names
down on the list, there were thirteen
who responded in person and several
others expressed desire to join, but
who could not attend the meeting
saturday evening.
The object of the organization is
'or mutual benefit, and for the pur,
pose of getting up more interest in
art work. There is no initiation fee
or any money-making scheme at
tached to the movement, as all mem
bers are on an equal footing A
committee was appointed Saturday
evening for the purpose of securing a
room to be used exclusively by this
club, and they will go to work at
once making arrangements for per-
m4nent location. 1t was deemed
best to wait about permanent or
ganization until next Saturday,
when they will meet at therectory of
The Episcopal church from to
4 p. m. for that purpose. All who
feel an interest in the movement are
invited to attend this meeting.
Mrs. Neville, who is q prime mover
in the matter, said to a LEAF-CHRON-
IcLE reporter this morning that no
copying would be allowed by the or
ganization - everything must be
original. And it is understood that
the collection, however, large it may
be will be the property of the club.
DR., Pettis has been made an hon
Orary member of the club and is
taking as much interest in it as any
of the ladies.

r. II. Poindex ter, assignee of the
Franklin Bank, filed in court to-
day complete statement of the as
sets and liabilities In fact detailed
statement of the condition of the
bank. The document is too volumi-
nous for publication. Eight pages of
this'paper would notcontain it. Those
interested can see it by calling at the
courthouse. MIR. PoindeXter, how
ever, says the affairs of the bank are
not in as bad condition as many peo-
pie believe.
The assets include only what is
supposed to be live paper; the old
paper, charged up to profiuand loss,
is also filed, but not in the estimate,
and it is hoped some of that can be
collected. The stock is counted in
the liabilities, which amounts to
over $4,000. The stock holders will
get nothing until the creditors are
paid, and this makes the assets prac-
tically $40, 600 over the liabilities, as
far as the depositOrs are concerned.
Following is a concise statement of
the condition of the banks affairs:

THE SEWERAGE SYSTEM.
The Belief That Stewart &c Quinn Will
Not Complete The Contract.

There is a general belief among the
members of the Sewer Committee
and the assignee of Stewart & Quinn
that the contractors will not complete
the work. At any rate they have
never been able to hear from them
on the subject. There is also a
belief that their security is good and
that recourse can be taken in that di-
rection. The matter is now under
investigation, and both The mayor
and city marshal said to a reporter
this morning that they were conf
dent that at least one of the sureties
was good. In the meantime work is
suspended and there is no telling Just
now when it will be resumed The
committee will meet to night, how
ever, and devise some means by
which the work can be completed.
They are all in favor of completing
the system as soon as possible.

A Fatal Pistol Shot.

Preston Perkins, says Sundays

killed himself Saturday night while
examining a pistol at the residence
Of his grandmother, Mrs. j. r.
Brown. He had picked up a re-
volver and was handling il, when it
was accidentally discharged. The
ball struck him in the vicinity of the
heart, and death ensued in less than
twenty minutes.
Preston Perkins vas about twenty
five years cid and was well known
in this city, having resided here for
several months. He was a brother
of Mrs. William Bailey and was uni
versally popular.
The American pays him the fol-
lowing tribute:
Gle was the son of the late Sam
uel Perkins of T'riune, Williamson
county, and is related to many of the
Oldest and best families of the State.
His gentle manner, and manly bear
ing, coupled with disposition that

LABOR AND DEMOCRACY.

Chairman Brice. Of the democratic ma
tional committee, will probably resign be-
fore the democratic party enters upon the
next national campaign. He is interested
largely in the mines at Briceville, Tenn,
and has had profitable thing in the lease
of convict labor at the mines, which means
starvation to free labor. This is the cause
ofthe reign OF terror at the mines in Tennes-
see. Some weeks ago the legislature was
called together to do something for free
labor and regulate the odious contract sys-
tenn. Nothing was done, no relief was af-
forded and now their are hundreds of CON
victs loose in the state. In the meantime
the democratic party in the state of Ten
.nessee and elsewhere poses as the friend Of
labor Where that party is estrongest-
the South-labor is more degraded than
anywhere else in the country, lower wages
are paid to the toiler, and the freeman has
to compete with convict labor.
