Toe Amputated.

VIM A. Wells Sr., who lives in
the Mud Creek neighborhood, met
with quite a serious mishap recent
ly. A toe ON one of his feet got
severely bruised in some manner
but he gave it little thought going
about his work. as usual. Last
week, however, the injured mem
ber gave him so much pain that he
called neighbor's attention to it,
who Immediately advised him to
consult physician,
This was done, a Walla Walla
doctor being called upon, who in
formed Mr.. Wells that in order to
save his life it would be necessary
to amputate the toe, gangrene had
already set in, and it would not dc
to make any further delay.
The operation was performed in
Walla Walla a portion of the
fore part of the foot being taken
off at the instep joint. The pa
tient is getting along nicely and
will probably soon be able to at
tend to his farm duties.

Cured by Faith.

Milton Eagle: A curious case
of alleged faith cure is at presen
agitating the minds of the good
people who reside in the Sam
Johnson neighborhood, some five
or six miles northwest of this city.
Henry Reymer, a son-in-law OF
Mr.. Johnson's, has been quite. i'll
of typhoid fever, as was mentioned
in the last issue of the Eagle. Ac-
cording to DR.. Kennedy, the ply
sician who has had charge of the
case, Reymer could not have pos
sibly recovered with the usual
treatment inside of four or five
weeks under the most favorable
circumstances.
On Friday or Saturday Reviv-
alist Mcconnell visited Reymer's
bedside and in the course of a
conversation relating to the pa
TENTS condition, he informed him
that the Lord was able and willing
to do all things and that sufli-
cient amount of faith in Him was
all that was required to remove
mountains or cure typhoid fever,
Reymer was not much of hand
to carry very large stock of faith
around with him, but he gathered
up all he could find and disposed
of it as directed by Mcconnell, and
lol the result was a surprise to all.
Reymer Immediately arose from
his bed, dressed himself and has
since been engaged in his usual
avocation, although at the time
thecure was accomplished, he had
been in bed for some ten days and
was consequently very weak.
Everybody is filed with wonder
over the case and some of our
medical men are inclined to view
it in the light of something super
natural. Mcconnell, the evan.
gelist, as he terms himself, claims
no honor for the remarkable cure,
but says it is entirely due to the
faith which Reymer had in the
Lord and His power to heal all
the ills of humanity,

AUBURN, N. Y, July 2Ss--A
ghastly tragedy, the sequel Of an
other tragedy, was enacted in the
prison here yesterday. Murderer
G. w. Taylor, who cut the throat
of fellow-con vict, was placed in
the electric execution chaif.- and
received shock of 1,S00 volts.
The contact was not long enough
and when il was sought to turn on
the current again the dynamo
would not work The man came
slowly back toward conciousness,
to prevent which morphine was
administered while preparations
were being made to get a supply
Of electricity from the city dyna-
mos. Meantime he was placed on
a cot, and conveyed back to the
corridor, where he continued
groaning, with his pulse growing
stronger. Finally the electrical
machinery was readjusted. Taylor
was again placed in the chair and
the current turned on successfully.

..THIRTY-sIx DAYS ATTIRE.
ACoaI Ships Experience With Burn
ing Cargo.

"A 36-day battle with flames
was ended Friday night by the
arrival ,ofthe British ship Ceder-
bank from Newcastle, New South
Wales. The vessel started March
3. and was laden with coal, and
had a fair voyage until June 20,
when the cargo was discovered on
fire. Prompt efforts to extinguish
the flames proved unavailing, and
it was decided to jettison part of
the cargo. Two hundred and
sixty tons were thrown overheard,
and then, owing to the extreme
heat in the hold and the great
difficulty in handling the burning
coal, it was necessary to desist,
large quantities of water was
thrown into the hold, the pumps
part of the time going day and
night, July 16, two explosions oc-
cured and flames burst out and
ran all over the hold. The hatch
es were kept battened down as
much as possible. The crew was
obliged, on account Of the heat,
to abandon their quarters in the
and 60 aft. Boats were
provisioned and towed astern for
an emergency. One day another
vessel hove in sight, but passed
without seeing the Cedarbank's
signals of distress. The fire con-
tinued to make headway, and the
decks, sides, ventilators and all
parts of the vessel became very
much heated, and smoke poured
from the matches and other crew.
ces. Port was finally make in
safety. The vessel will be beached
and the cargo flooded.

Suicide,

Pendleton Tribune: A young
man came into town late yesterday
afternoon bringing the intelligence
that G. G. Scott had shot and
killed himself at his home near
Nye yesterday morning. Mr.. Scott
was fine looking man about 40
years old, and leaves a wife and
five children to moisten his grave
with their tears. On Friday he
was brought to DR.. Smiths office
and was found to be suffering fro m
melancholia, mental depression in
its worst form. Everything pos
for his relief was done for him at
that time, and he was sent home
to his family. A tall well built
and evidently robust man, his
life has been darkened in some
what peculiar way. When a boy
he learned the blacksmith trade at
Dayton, Ohio. But soon found
himself suffering from great mental
depression. He was advised to
abandon blacksmithing and try
farming, for this purpose he re-
moved to Kansas, and took up
farming and found relief. But
farming failed to bring him any
financial reward and he again tried
blacksmithing, The haunting
spectre melancholy, regained pos
session of his mind and being
forced again to abandon his trade
he removed with his family to
Oregon locating on a farm one
mile from Nye. Ill luck followed
even to Umatilla county, and he
has had trouble in keeping the
wolf from his door. For short
time he has had work with Mr..
Eldrege, who lives north Of town
but the demon of his melancholy
followed him, even in his daily
labor, and his being forced to quit
occasioned the visit to DR.. Smith
Friday. He was sent to his home,
and the next news received con-
corning him was that of his death
at his own hands. He was some
what of o religious enthusiast, and
it is believed that blacksmithing
had such depressing effect upon
him by reason of the visions Of
the orthodox future life he saw in
the fires of his forge.

New Variety of Wheat.

Milton Eagle: II. B. Ingersoll,
who is farming Mrs. McCoy's place
near this city, has discovered a
new variety of wheat. Some three
years ago he noticed it among
other wheat, his attention being
attracted by its enormous size,
All that he found was carefully
gathered and the next season was
sowed separately. This year. 102
heads, each containing 50 large
plump grains, or 703S grains in
all, was raised from a single seed,

great agony, a violent spasm rob
