again, very acute and severe. My joints
swellcd and became infamed, sore to touch
or almost to look at. Upon the urgent re-
quest Of my mother-in-law, tried Cham
berlain's Pain Balm T., reduce the swelling
and ease the pam, and to my agreeable sur

driven about the city in carriages,
shown various points of interest, and
the BUSINESS men of Albany were given
an opportunity to shake hands and
talk with our commercial neighbors
from the Golden State.
About s o'clock banquet was ten
dered the visitors at the st. Charles
hotel. The court at the west OF the
hotel was illuminated with japanese
lanterns, which afforded a very pleas
ant open air promenade, considering
the excessive heat Of the evening. The
spacious dining room, where the ban
quet was held, was tastelully decorated
for the occasion.
This morning the 'excursionists will
go to Salem on an Oregon Pacific boat
and will be entertained there. It was
expected they would visit Portland,
but as their time is limited it is prob
able the metropolis will not be reached.
After giving an account of the
splendid reception accorded at Salem
the Statesman says:
"1'he excursionists were young and
middle aged gentlemen, representing
some of the oldest concerns in the
Bay City and they were far from being
dubbed as second rate business men.
They went to Eugene on the overland
last night and will remain there until
tomorrow, returning for trip over the
Oregon Pacific to the eastern terminus
where they will be given a regular
Santiam feast and trout bake. They
will 90 to Yaquina by special train on
Saturday, thence by ocean steamer
home"
A dispatch dated at Eugene August
End says: ga portion OF the party of
excursionists from San Francisco, who
are making a short trip through this
valley, arrived here at midnight last
night. This morning they were taken
in Carriages and driven about the city
and surrounding country. The after
noon was passed principally by the Wis
itors in getting acquainted with our
business men and looking into the de-
tails OF business which concern them.
1t is evident they are looking to an ex-
tension of their territory and closer
fellowship with the business men of
this valley. This evening IL reception
WAS held at the hall, where a few short
speeches were made. The visitors
speak in highest terms of the treat
ment they have received since enter
ing the state.

Latest information is to the effect
that France has not really accepted
Slams submission to the full demands
of frances ultimatum. 1t is not
known at Bangkok that the blockade is
to be at once rails d. On the con-
trary, dispatches from Bangl1o,; support
the reports current that much un-
easlness as to the final outcome of the
trouble is felt in that city, and that the
anxiety is increasing daily. 1t is said
that the French admiral had given no
tice of a fresh blockade. Supple
mentary guarantees demanded by
France from Siam, which include tenn
porary custody of the river and port
of Chantlbunat, and that Siam shall
not establish military stations in Ger
tain named places near the Cambodian
frontier or within certain distance Of
the Mekong river are now urged. The
pretext for imposing these heavier con-
ditions is alleged to be the delay of
Siam in accepting the original ul,i-
matum. The original terms were hu-
mill ting enough, but these supple
mentary demands coupled with other
circumstances indicate that France
and Russia desire to precipitate war.

Arrangements are about completed

talked-of but comparatively inactive
Seven Devils camp. The American
Mining company, of Helena, Mont,
the E. M. Barton Mining company, of
Weiser, and Herbert Lang, the well
known smelling man of Mineral, are
involved in the transaction. 1t con-
sists of an agreement by the terms of
which the Barton Mining Company
will furnish Mr. Lang with 20, 900
tons of copper ore from the Peacock
mine, to be all delivered by June 1st,
1895. The matter is practically set
tied the Barton company have already
given bond to the American Mining
company, owners of the Peacock, to
purchase the amount of ore stated ,and
have the bond ready to furnish Mr.
Lang with the same. Mr. Lang will
in few days give his bond to the Bar
ton company to receive the ore from
them. The deal means nothing les
than that Mr.. Lang will put smelte
in the Seven Devils camp at the earli
est possible date.

A novel and colossal enterprise is
that which bears the name of FThe
MacKaye Spectatorium' which is
beng fostered and pushed to COM
pletion by The Columbian Celebration
Company at Chicago. This com
prises the erection of building of
massive proportions and picturesquely
interesting design, in which shall be
presented the many strange and
daring ideas that Mr. Steele MacKaye
conceived as a part Of the essentials
for grand and noble dramatic and
lyric presentation of the great historic
discovery which this Exposition is to
celebrate. A year ago Mr.. MacKaye
explained his ideas to party of
Chicago capitalists, among them
being George H. Pullman, Lyman j..
Cage, Murry Nelson, Benz. Butter
worth, E. b. Butler, Judge Leroy D..
Thoman, Genl A. G. NcClurg, Fred
and Clarence Peck, H. E. Bucklen,
e. W. Gillett, j. G. Hinkley, H. Il.
Weaver and others of like prominence.
These men Immediately grasped the
feasibility of Mr.. MacKaye's plan and
saw in it an opportunity to give to the
people of Chicago and the world
production that should surpass any
thing ever attempted and they
furnished the capital, about 81, 600,
900 to carry these plans to an end
That end is rapidly approaching an'
within a month or more the model
which cost $50, 600 will be shown t.
the newspaper men. Those who hay
seen the model, even in its first stage
of development say that the pre-
sentiment which will be given in eth
MacKaye Spectatorium" will surpas
every other feature Of the Fair, bot
r in its colossal proportions and i
e astonishing audacity.

My School Days.

By Lizzie Clay.
began school when | was seven years
old. knew my A B Cs and could read
and spell little. The first day thought
it was twice as long as any other day.
did not like school at first but after |
went about a week thought it very nice.
Sadie White and | started TO school to-
gether. We both studied very hard for
we wanted to beat each other
The school house was an old log house
sixteen feet wide and twenty-four feet long
with two half windows on each side and
a door in the end.
The boys built porch out of slabs
where they kept the wood dry. The
school house was built in the timber A
great many of the trees had gum ON them
but too high for we girls to reach so the
boys used to climb up the trees and get
it for us. We would have our pockets
full of gum most Of the time.
East of the house was a. little hill or
bank which we used TO 'lide down on
sleds and snow-shoes. We little girls
used to get on the sleds and the boys
would pull us down the hills; this was
great fun for we little folks
When there would come heavy snow.
all the boys and girls except one would
get under tree and then one of the boys
would take an ak and knock snow down
on the Others 1t would take our breath
for a minute, but you bet it was fun.
About a quarter of a mile from the
school house was a hill which we used to-
play on. In the apring when the snow
was crusted every day as boon all the
scholars and the teacher would 60 over
there The big boys ard girls would
snow-shoe down. And the little folks
would run down and throw little pieces of
snow down.
We would start the snow at the top Of
the hill and it would roll clear to the
bottom and bounce just like ball. And
later in the spring when the snow began
10 20 off we little folks used to build
houses and fences out of rocks and pine
burs and trim them with flowers and moss.
Some of the scholars came to school in
, sleighs some horse back but most of them
on snow shoes.
| have gone to school to six different
teachers. Miss Meyer, Mr.. Luty, Mrs
Webb, Mrs. Shepherd. Mr.. Lorton, and
Mr.. Lyles. liked them all very well.
5 hope shall always like my coming
teachers as well as have liked these.
No serious accidents ever happened a
8 school to my knowledge except our las
teacher, whom we all suppose got his ri
broken while playing bncking horse witt
the school boys.
It The last week OF school Is generally
W hard task for me as it is principally spen
~ in examination. Most of the schools ar
closed with an entertainment consistin
of dialogues recitation songs ETC., an
generally wind up with a dance.
