Office has notified registers and receivers
that his construction of the new land
law is that no one who already owns
$50 acres of land in this country can get
any more under the provisions of the
homestead act.-Astorian.
The Historian is mistaken. An enquiry
at The Dalles land Office elicits the fact
that no such orders have been received
here. Nor could there be for the statute
is sufficiently plain, on the subject As
the law stands no man owning .'more
than 100 acres of land in any state or
territory" can make homestead entry,
and homestead applicant must make
an affidavit to that effect at the time of
making his application.

Baby is sick.-The woeful expression
OF Des Moines teamster's countenance
showed his deep anxiety was not entire
ly without cause, when he inquired of a
druggist OF the same city what was best
to give baby for cold? It was not me-
cessary for him to say more, his counte-
nance showed that the pet of the family,
if not the idol of his life was in distress.
1--WE give our baby Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy was the druggists answer.
81 don't like to give the baby such strong
medicine, " said the teamster. You know
John Oleson, of the Waters Talbot Print
ing Co., don't you? inquired the drug
gist. His baby, when eighteen months
old, got hold of bottle of Chamberlain's 8
Cough Remedy and drank the whole of
it. OF course it made the baby vomit
very freely but did not injure it in the
least, and what is more, it cured the ba-
by's cold The teamster already knew
the value of the Remedy, having used it
himself, and was now satisfied that there
was no danger in giving it even to
baby. For sale by Snipes & Kinersly.

We regret to learn that Mr.. A. S. Mac
allister received very severe injury to
one OF his hands and arm, at his ranch,
on the John Day. He was handling a
colt and the halter rope in some way got
round one of his feet, as the colt scared
and made dash through gate drag
ging Mr.. Macallister with it. With
great presence of mind Mr.. M, caught
the gate post with one arm as he was be-
ing dragged through the entrance and
checked the progress of the animal till
pulling out his knife with the free arm
he opened the blade with his teeth and
cut the rope, thus saving himself from
being dragged to death. One hand was
so severely injured that the sinews were
laid open.

A TRICK OF TRADE.
A Dishonest Broker UnwittingIy
Enriches His Firm.


CHICAGO, Sept. 25.-Not many cases
are on record where a dishonest en-
ploye in robbing his employers has I'M
Willingly enriched the firm. But the
board OF trade furnishes such a case
1t has been talked about pretty extern
sively, although the house in question
has said nothing. The members Just
chuckle. The house is one of the best
known of the establishments that rank
second to the five or six first-class
houses. A year ago the house hired a
young man, and put him on the floor as
its broker. He had practically spent
his life on the board, and he had specu-
lated Oh small scale with profit TO
himself. Besides being knowing
pretty good notion of the larger side of
speculation. and he came to the couclu-
sion that corn was going to drop before
long.
He began to sell and corn began to
rise. Deacon White, down East, was
getting in his work. The young man
continued 10 sell, and corn peryersely
continued to rise, until the young mans
small capital disappeared. He could 90
no further, and he made up his mind to
a daring piece of dishonesty which
would have made him rich if it had
gone undetected, and which, having
come to light, broke him and drove him
from the town. The members of the
firm were bulls in every kind of grain.
The young man undertook to use the
firm in his speculations. lie continued
to sell for himself extensively, but he
put the sales down to his firm. In the
language of the board OF trade, he
"buried them
1t is said that he sold as high as 67
and 6S, and still corn rose. The young
man saw the storm coming and fed the
town. The members of the firm made
an investigation, and when they found
out the extent of the young mans deals
they were paralyZed. They were bulls
and they did not desire to throw lot Of
corn on the market. Then, corn was
pretty high anyhow. One of the men,
bers said .stand pat" and they held
their corn. Pretty soon the smash came,
which the young man had foreseen.
Corn began to drop, and it went slowly
down until it reached the place where
it met poor Deacon White trying to butt
against it and crushed him. The firm
watched it and grinned. The young
man watched 1t from his hiding place
and swore. The firm had unWittingly
profited by his dishonesty in good,
healthy sum. This is the way board
of trade man put it: "His account with
the firm stands: Short, 100000 Septem-
Der corn, averaging 5T15; market to-
day, 40. You can. see why the firm
likes it."

HINCKLEY, Mimi, Sept. 25.-The
fires are gradually subsiding and all
danger is now past. though the smoke
from the dying flames is dense in the
village tonight. From fire fighting to
dancing is the order of the day. The

Disappointed Land-Seekers in the
Cherokee Strip.
ARKANSAS CITY, Kan. Sept. ga
great many wagons are trailing back
over the Cherokee strip with people
who failed to get claims In the lands
opened last Tuesday. Almost all of
them will drift about, living under can
mas. waiting for the strip to open. They
seem to feel as if every one on the strip
is their enemy, and are said to be firing
the grass in hundreds Of places. They
do not know when they are on the strip
or when they are on the Indian
reservations, and the reservations
along the Santa Fe have suf-
fered greatly. About Panca yester-
day the grass was burning on every
side, and it was only after a hard fight
that the houses little way from the
station were saved. To the west the
whole line of the horizon was wall of
smoke, looking like a great chain of
mountains covered with snow tQutheir
base. The grass is very dry and fires
are sure to cover the larger part of the
strip and render it useless for winter
grazing.

His preference for people was based on
something he saw in them of sturdy

IN BRIGGS FOOTSTEPS.
DR.. Vincent's Address at Union
Was Not Orthodox.

w aS NOL
NEW YORK, Sept. 25. = The little
chapel of Union Theological seminary,
usually sacred to quiet devotion, rang
with applause yesterday while Rev. DR..
Marvin r. Vincent delivered to the
students and friends of the institution
the annual address. opening the scho-
lastic year. In the same place seven
months ago Dr. Charles A. Briggs read
the famous inaugural which has since
promised to disrupt the Presbyterian
church. In every way as vigorous in
toneand as advanced in thought, DR..
Vincept's address was almost equally
remarkable, and may be followed by re-
suits as important.
President Hastings and other leaders
of the seminary smilingly admitted that
what Dr.. Vincent had said was exactly
in the line Of DR.. Briggs effort, and if
the one was heretical the other was not
orthodox, but this did not seem to worry
them. Most of those who crowded the
chapel were the supporters of Union,
but five or six gentlemen were those
who are noted opponents of DR.. Briggs.
Among them was layman from In
diana, who, at the Detroit general as
sembly, was a foremost anti-Briggs
lobbyist. The friends of DR.. Briggs
said these gentlemen attended yester-
day for the purpose of "getting ammu-
nition." From which it appears likely
that there is trouble ahead for DR.. Vim

A BURSTED WHEEL.
Electric Power House Cut Into
Two Sections

CINCINNATI, sept. ga remarkable
accident, fortunately not attended by
loss of life, happened to-day at the
electric power house on Reading road,
near Mcmillan street. The ponderous
fly wheel, weighing twenty tons. twenty
feet in diameter and five feet in width
at the rim, burst while making seventy
revolutions minute. The effect was
disastrous. The flying pieces tore their
way through the building to the roof
and cut the structure into two sections.
One piece struck ana badly damaged

was hurt, and he but slightly. The
damage is estimated at $4,000. The
power house furnished power for four
electric car lines, and was one OF the
largest in the city.
