LOST AET PURSE.
Midnight Adventure Which Turns
Out All Right.

Mrs. S. A. Clinton, of Arlington. was
shopping yesterday in The Dalles, and
finishing her purchases and arranging
everything to her satisfaction, prepared
Ito depart on the IL 40 train last night
for home. She seated herself on the
train, with her baby in her arms, and
discovered at the last moment that her
purse was missing, which also contained
her railroad ticket. She got off and the
train left.
Stating her loss Mr.. James Blakeney
and others interested themselves in the
matter and for more than an hour,
looked up and down the streets for the
missing purse. The search was finally
given up, everybody concluding that it
had been picked up, and the disconso-
late lady sought her room at the hotel.
Lighting the lamp she was delighted to
find her money lying on q rocking chair,
where she had left it just before starting
for the train.

WAS IT MuRDERq
Some New Facts Brought to Light In
the Kennehck Case.

John O'Leary, who arrived in town
yesterday from Moro, throws more light
on the Kennefick mystery, who was re-
ported last week to have died through
injuries received by being thrown from
horse. It is now thought he was mur-
dered.
It seems that on Wednesday of last
week gathering was had at the house
OF Joe Elliott, at which whisky was
freely drank. There were present be-
sides Elliott and Kennefck, Al Hembree
and another man whose name could not
be learned. An alteration arose, in the
course of which, it is alleged, Hembree
struck Mr.. Kennefick over the head
with bar or club, which produced a
fatal injury. Bloodstains were found
in Elliot's house and leading along the
trail for half mile to where the body
was found. Hembree has been arrested
and the others are held as witnesses.
The facts will come up before the grand
jury, which will meet when the next
term of court is held at Moro, which
will be on the 18th of March. ~

oregon Horses Demanded.

Leo Neustadter, of Bake Oven, has
just returned from a California trip,
where he sold to San Diego parties four
carloads of horses. These were raised
on his large horse ranch and will arrive
for shipment in a few days.
Several years ago Mr.. Neustadter
came here for his health. He was pre-
viously wealthy. He was fortunate and
got strong again, besides establishing a
paying business and maintaining the
good record of Oregon horsefesh.

make it point to III hproye what they
already own. The thrifty men of the

There's good deal of guarantee busi-
ness in the store keeping of today. It's
too excessive. Or too reluctant. Half
the time it means nothing. Words
only words.
This offer to refund the money, or to
pay reward, is made under the hope
that you won't want your money back,
and that you won't claim the reward.
OF course.
So, whoever is honest in making it,
and works-not on his own reputation
alone, but through the local dealer,
whom you know, must have something
he has faith in back of the guarantee.
The business wouldn't stand a year
without it.
What is lacking is confidence. Back
of that, what is lacking is that clear
honesty which is above the "average
practice"
DIR. Pierce's medicines are guaranteed
to accomplish what they are intended tc
do, and their makers give the money
back if the result isn't apparent.
Doesn't it strike you that a medicine
(which the makers have 30 much conf
dence in, is the medicine for you.

A swede's Trouble.

John Winter, Swede, who has lust
finished thirty days. sentence in the
county Jail, proposes to sue Aleck Nell
son, at Cascade Locks, for $52, claimed
to be due him for labor. Winter says
that when he asked Nelson for the
amount due him, he was repulsed
and soon after arrested for petty larceny
at the instigation of the latter. The
only foundation for the charge, Winter
says, is that he loaned moneyless
friend, during the cold spell, a blanket
out of the hotel.

The D.morest Contest.

E A large audience assembled at the
court house last night to listen to the
contest for silver medal. Walter
Reavis won the medal, his selection
being ''Patriotic Prohibition" His
voice was well suited to the oratoric de-
mands of the piece, and gesture and ex-
preston were not wanting. The judges
professed great difficulty in assigning
the prize, and with justice. Their posi-
ton was not enviable. 'The Deacon's
Match" by Fannie Cheeseman, was
admirably rendered, the selection
abounding in incident and dramatic
action. Equally as well did Jessie But
Ter in "How to Curtail the Liquor
Traffic. semi-humorous, semi-serious
temperance recitation. Joseph Mcneil,
in his dialect piece, perfectly initiated
the broken English of the Dutch, but
lacked certain enthusiasm which is
required to make such pieces catchy.
Miss Alice Ball, in 'Not Dead, but
Dying" while her intonation and en-
phasis were perfect, eyinced conscious
ness of her surroundings which is al
ways hard to overcome, and which
detracts from a meritorious rendi-
ton; further practice will, how
ever, make her formidable contestant.
The same fault might be attributed to
Harry Bowman, who possesses all the
native talent required in an elocu-
ZIONIST.
The choir singing, duet and trio were
deservedly applauded.

Collision.

Malietoa and Mataafa Again Approaching
Collision.
letter from Apia, Samoa, dated May "a, via
San Francisco. says:
1t may be safely predicted that Samoan af-
fairs are approaching a climax. Indeed, before
this reaches you Malietoa and Mataafa may have
tried conclusions and the all important ques-
ton as to which is the strongest party may
have been forever decided
Lately several important events have taken
place, and it now seems as if active hos
tiities were on the very point Of being COM
menced. A fortnight ago Mataafa addressed
letter to King Malietoa in which be made
peaceful overtures, reminded his majesty of
bygone occurrences and suggested that huge
and general meeting of Samoans should be held
to choose a monarch. He suggested various
villages as suitable places TO hold the proposed
meeting. and repeatedly appealed to the king
mot to be angry" with him.
Opinions differ as to the chances Of the op-
posing parties. and under existing circumstances
it is simply impossible to obtain reliable infor-
nation as to their relative numbers and COM
parative strength. Feeling already runs pretty
high. There have been fights and assaults and
all sorts Of doIngs.
