until she missed her mothers form passing
the window Thinking her mother had
gone on a visit to one of the neighbors. she
put on her hat and went out to ascertain
the facts. After walking some distance and
receiving no answer to repeated calls, she
became alarmed and sent word to her father
and husband, who were some distance away
In the field. A thorough search was made,
and the lifeless form of Mrs. Watkins was
found in the creek, her head and shoulders
out of the water. This was near an old
ford in the creek, which Mr.. Watkins had
partially fenced with barbed wire to keep
cattle out of his enclosure. The cause of
her death is not definitely known, but some
suppose that the distress she complained OF
for several days past was a premonltion of
fatal stroke of spoplexy. Mrs. Watkins
was very highly respected lady, aged
about go years, and had resided on Fifteen
Mile creek for many years. She leaves a
husband and four chiidren-three sons and |
one daughter-all grown, the oldest OF
whom is Hon. Geo. Watkins of this city. |

Panic Threatened.

LONDON, March 3.-The action Of the
miners in announcing that they would go
on strike on the 18th inst, and the rapid
rise in the price of coal following that
announcement, is leading to a panic.
The cold weather, which has led to the
consumption of larger quantity of coal
than usual, continues to prevail, and this
fact has caused the alarm to become
greater than otherwise would have been
the case. No one knows where the
advancing prices will stop, and conse-
quently every body is anxious to lay
in enough coal now to carry them over
q two weeks strike. Merchants declare,
If the present demand continues, stock
will last only for two days. The news
papers all publish articles in reference to
the situation, and urge the public not to
become panic. stricken, as the prices can
not make much further advance, owing
to foreign competition.

Leonard Combs, an Albany youth, went
to the Pacific wire factory In that city the
other morning and built fire under the
boiler as was his custom 1t did not burn
fast enough. however, SO he picked up
ve-gallon can full of benzine and punching
a hole in the end of the can opened the
furnace door and gave the benzine splash
on the fire. The burning oil dashed back
into his face and on the floor. In an instant
all was on fire. Fortunately his brother
Frank was standing near, who hurriedly
secured wool mattress and wrapping it
around the burning boy extinguished the
flames. He then threw the mattress on the
floor and put out the fire, which by this
time was getting quite a start. Leonard
wasibadly burned about his face, neck and
hands. .ano had he been alone he would have
undoubtedly been burned to death and the
building destroyed.

The Horse Thieves.


Geo. Harrington returned from the river
Friday where he had been in quest of tie
thieves who took the horses from George
Swaggarts ranch last week. The gray
horse of Nels Christensen got away from
the fellows, it now being certain that there
were two OF them, about the time they were
saddling, preparatory to leaving the ranch.
Both then rode the stallion to Castle Rock,
where ne was turned loose, the men cross
ing over to the Washington side IN a boat
whic b belonged to Mr.. Teeters. This gen.
tleman found his boat some miles below
Castle Rock, and took away the oars, pre-
venting them using it further. Although
the culprits were not in sight, 1t is supposed
that they were hidden in the hills, awaiting
the shades of night to proceed further. 1t
is presumed that they came back to the
boat and finding it oarless, struck out on
foot. 1t Is pretty certain that Mr.. Swag-
CARTS stallion is on the range in northern
Morrow, and will be recovered at an early
date. However, Mr.. Christensen mourDs
the loss OF saddle, which Is not likely to
be found.

A TERRIBLE FALL.

IT'S to you, mothers and daughters,
that I wish to talk;
And to the children that are just
learning to walk;
And all who may need anything in
my line
I will give you prices that you'll hard
ly decline.
One needs Bonnets and Ribbons,
whilst others need Hats;
Some will need Dresses and Ruching,
and possibly Caps.
Possibly Aprons, Collars and Ties
there are many that do.
Should you want Flowers and Feath-
ers, you'll find them all new.
The Third-street Millinery is the
place to buy.
The prices are low, but quality high.
The styles are the latest-give us a
call;
And find that prices have taken a fall.

Drive Whist.

The Penipt whist club held their meeting
Wednesday evening at the! residence Of
Mrs. G. G.. Blakeley, and very interesting
time was spent. Partners lwere chosen by
matching quotations. At a reasonable hour
bountiful rejection, consisting of ice
cream and cake, was served, of which all
partook with relish. The score cards
were very unique, and on the last page OF
the four-page folder was the following acros-
tic poem by a member of the club:
Progressive whist is the rule of the clnb;
Each must play well or else get Stub.
Not girl whist" as the gentlemen say;
It's scientific the way play.
Points without number we're all sure 20 make
Tricks 'out OF sight," without mistake.
When at the table our places we take,
Hark, what sounds the silence break:
SIN it this time, partner is heard;
t'Such hand, upon my wordw
"Trumped again, say it's absurdw
ounting the points when the playing is over,
Left is the verdict and but two are in clover.
Unsurpassed are the oysters at Grams;
Better they taste when go down in jams.

East Oregonian: Patrick Boland, Union
Pacific section boss at Barnhart's, boarded
train No. 7 at Pendleton Sunday to 60 down
to that station. He failed to tell the con-
ductor, however, and the train didn't stop.
At point about seven miles below he was
out on the car platform, ''seeing the coun.
try" he says, when a sudden jerk threw
him off. The train was running at a speed
of about thirty miles an hour, and when
Boland struck ground he thought he had
been thrown by Kansas cyclone. He had
had hold of the railing with his right hand,
and bis shoulder was badly wrenched. His
left knee was also severely hurt. He laid
near the track until seen by the engineer of
a passing freight, who picked him up and
brought him to Pendleton. Boland feels
very sore, but will recover in due time from
the effects of his accident.
The Indians on the Umatilla reservation
will be allowed to assume the privileges of
citizenship, including suffrage, Immediately
upon approval by the department of the
allotment of their lands. Politicians of
both parties in that section are very anxious
that this approval shall come before the
June election, but the all important ques-
tion, "How are they going to vote?" is not
yet answered. Some seem to think that
money will buy the Indian vote, but the
Umatillas have some reputation for inde-
D endence, and it would not be surprising to
see them maintain it when elevated to citi-
izenship.
Sentinel: Several hacks left Goldendale
Tuesday loaded with prospectors and pro-
visions for the 0rofino mines. Several locat-
ors have returned from the mines and report
the Indications for placer mining good and
in case the test which will be made by the
party now there proves satisfactory we can
expect city there next week. We have
seen specimens of gold separated by use of
a rocker. The yield was about one dollar
fer cubic yard of dirt at the surface. Ow-
ing to the loose light character of the dirt
the yield will likely be very much greater
at bed rock. That there is gold IN this min
ing belt there can be no doubt, but whether
in quantities sufficient to pay for working
remains to be seen.

TO SUSPEND IMMIGRATION.
House and Senate Committees in Favor of
 Such a Plan.

House and Senate Committees in Favor of
 Such Plan.
 WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-At the joint session of the immigration committees of the Senate and House it was shown that there was general feeling in favor of suspending all immigration to this country for periods varying from one to five years.
 Senator Quay said that it was the unanimous opinion of the committee which had taken testimony in New York and elsewhere on the subject that immi- grafton should be entirely suspended, and Hale added that he feared the shortness of the present session would make it impos- sible to pass any bill save one suspending immigration for only year.
 Senator Hill sent to the joint committee . request that no final action be taken until the New York representatives of the various steamship companies could be heard.
 Representative Geissenhainer of New Jersey created a mild sensation by an nouncing his unalterable objection to any and all propositions looking to restriction of immigration. He is strongly in favor of the present influx of Russian Jews.

SENTENCE WAS SUSPENDED.
The J6dge Lenient With Gwyneth Maudc
 She Pleaded Guilty.

LONDON, Dec. 15. - Gwyneth Maude, the young woman accused of swindling Messrs. Spink & Co.,, Picadilly silver smiths, pleaded guilty when arraigned at the Old Bailey Assizes.
 The prisoners pretty face betrayed signs of deep distress. She was attired in the deepest mourning, and, in view of the painful circumstances imported into the case, every consideration was shown her by the court officials.
 The case has excited deep Interest in England on account of the suicide of Mrs. Maude, mother of the prisoner, after the arrest of her daughter.
 The mother was herself the daughter of 8 Persian Princess, who was married to an English physician in India named Campbell. Mrs. Maude was @ woman of unusual beauty. She maintained costly establishment, with a number of servants, and appears to have supported Herself, in part, at least, by obtaining costly arti- cles from tradssmen, and subsequently pawning or disposing of them.
 The daughter was used as a messenger to order the goods, and also to aid in getting rid of them.
 The girl had only been carrying out her mothers orders, and in consequence the court suspended sentence

BLAINE AT DEATHS DOOR
The Ex-Secretary's Condition
 Reported as Critical.
DISEASE HAS REACHED HIS LUNGS.

The Plan for Removing the Patient to California Abandoned-Reason to Be- Heve That He May Pass Away at Any NIoment-Talk of His Embracing the Catholic Faith Renewed.
 WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-James G. Blaine is now on his death bed. The strengthsapping malady from which he has suffered for so long a time has as- sumed form which warns his family of speedy termination.
 The disease attacked his lungs short time ago, and it's course his baff1ed the skill of his physician
 The visit of Dr. E. G. Janeway, of New York, to Mr. Blaine is indicative of the extreme anxiety of the family.
 His Lungs Affected.
 When the fact became known that MT. Blaine's lungs were succumbing to the ravages of the disease plans were laid to convey the distinguished invalid to Pasa dena Cal, in the hope that a mild and soothing climate might enable him to rally.
 His weakness, however, increased so rapidly that it was deemed unsafe to move him, and the trip to California was abandoned.
 There is reason to believe that the ex- Sccretarys death may occur any day.
 May Become a Catholic.
 The Rev. Father Ducey's visit to the Blaine residence at this time has natur- ally revived the talk about the ex-Secre- tury embracing the Roman Catholic faith.
 A strong belief prevails here that it is Mir. Blaine's desire to die a member of the church of which his mother was devout mem her
