Maj. Magone's Trip.

This is the day set for the arrival at
Chicago of Maj. Magone, the sage of
Grant county, at one time prominent in
political affairs in the state. He left
John Day July 4th, on foot and alone,
intending to complete his long walk to-
day. Although So years of age he passed
Omaha ten days ago, hale and hearty,
having walked every mile of the way
and to press reporter said he would
not ride foot of the distancel if given
81 900 to do so. On the trip the major
stops at the best hotels and attracts
good deal of attention. He fies many
letters from officials and prominent citi-
zens of Oregon to prove he is no impos-
tor. He is extremely temperate in all
his habits, never having drank a drop of
liquor nor smoked ascigar orNpipe. The
object of his trip is to show the people
of the country that man past eighty
years of age can be one of the boys if he
wants to, particularly if he halls from
the Inland Empire of Oregon.

Old Nursery Favorites.

There was Tom, the Son of the Piper,
Jack Sprat, and Merry King Cole,
And the Three Wise Men of Gotham,
Who went to sea in a bowl;
The woman who rode broOmstick.
And swept the cobwebbed sky,
And the boy who sat in the corner,
Eating his Christmas pie
These were some of the old favorites,
but they have been supplanted by the
t'Pansv' and HChatterbox" stories,
stLittle Lord Fauntleroy," and Give
Little Peppers" The old fashioned
pills and physics have been superseded,
and wisely, too, by Pierce's Purgative
Pellets, mild, harmless and effective
cathartic. They are pleasant to take
so gentle in their action that the most
delicate child can take them, vet so eff
fective that they will cure the most OBJ
stinate cases of constipation, stomach,
lEer.and bowel troubles. They should
be in every nursery. As gentle laxa-
tive, only one for q dose.

The Hunt road, as it is known in the
Inland Empire, is now the Washington
and Columbia river railroad. 1t is per-
haps the only railroad in the country
without bonds or stock. 1t is the per-
sonal property of Mr.. G. 3. Wright.
The road has 167 miles of track, and
will be nearly 300 miles long by the
time it reaches the Snake river. It is
now operated by the U. P. Ry. Co.
Mr.. A. NJ. Patterson, of the weekly
Heppner Gazette, was the first of the
Eastern Oregon delegation to reach The
Dalles. He arrived on the p. m. train
yesterday, and proceeded with the COM
mittee by steamer Regulator this morn
ing to meet the delegations at the cas-
cades from Portland and beyond.
A newspaper man in Scott valley has,
it is said, invented a hand press re-
markable for its capacity in turning out
papers. Now if some other genius will
add an attachment that will increase
circulation with rapidity, the country
editor will call down blessings upon his
head. We submit the proposition to
the convention.
One of those toundationless reports
that obtain currency sometimes without
any source traceable, recently reached
here to the effect that Ben Pratt, a
former resident of this county, had been
hung in the Okonogan country. Letters
to friends on 15-Mile, from son of Mr..
harrington, says the report is wholly
untrue. Mr.. Pratt is alive and well,
and is engaged in carrying the mail out
of Waterville. Wash.
Scarcely did runaway horse ever fix
than the old gray gelding that draws the
cart of Portland box factory did few
days ago. About IL 10 p. M, he stood
by the curb on Morrison street nibbling
his nibble of oats, hanging in a feed
sack under his nose, when the Telegram
says: Something started him." and
he made graft down the street. At
the intersection of Second he collided
with a delivery outfit, which he pro-
ceeded to climb over. He turned his
wagon upside down, threw the driver
out, dragged the outfit half block and
nearly stamped the horse to death.
Then he turned eronaut, and described
circles, semicircles, parallelograms, and,
finally, struck .hypothenuse with his
feet based on the other horses stomach.
In the fray both cart and wagon were
smashed all to pieces; the delivery horse
was nearly killed, and the driver was
shaken out of his boots, but the box
factory horse which caused all the
trouble settled down at last to finish his
oats.

Saved His Child's Life.

A. N. Dilferbough, York, Neb.,. says
''The other day came home and found
my little boy down with cholera morbus,
my wife scared, not knowing what to do.
went straightway and got 20 cent
bottle of Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhea Remedy, and gave it ac-
cording to directions. You never saw
such a change in child. His limbsand
body were cold. rubbed his limbs and
body with my hands, and after I had
given him the second dose he went to
sleep, and, as my wife says, 'efrom
death-bed he was up playing in three
hours" It saved me a doctor bill of
about three dollars, and what is better,
it saved my child. can recommend it
with clear conscience" For sale by
