The iIor.r j. Found, Hut tn, thief 80 Far
Escaped Capture.

Thursday morning NJ. Schaetfcr, a
r~nusiahaut at the Park theatre, hired a
horse at the Park livery stables to 90 10
North Great Fails, but failing 10 return
IN the time specified, search Was i%nstilu-
tod and it was discovered that he had
gone in the direction of Belt. Thursday
evening the stage driver came in from
Belt and said he had met Schaetfer and
the horse at Belt at noon. Mr.. Barnard,
the proprietor Of the Park stables, went
before Judge Fitzgerald and swore out
a warrant for horse stealing against
Schaeifer and placed it in the hands of
Deputy Sheriff Dwyer, who started on
his trail yesterday morning. On arrlv-
ing at Arlington he found the horse,
which the thief had turned over to the
| stage driver at Geyser with instructions
to leave at Arlington. The deputy
| sheriff ~telegraphed TO the county attor-
ney asking if he should continue the
pursuit, but the attorney thought il
useless and ordered him back to the city
with the horse. The scoundrel had RID
den the horse over 80 miles before turn
ing him over to the stage driver at Gey-
ser and the driver brought him back tc
Arlington, making nearly 10 miles IN
less than l. hours. The warrant will
hold good and the county attorney If
confident he will yet be arrested.
1t appears that the lady" friend OF
Schaclfer had skipped out on the Stan
ford stage on Wednesday morning witt
a gentlemen friend, and as soon al
Schaelfer found it out he started in hO
pursuit with the livery horse he hired t.
90 to North Great Falls. Schaeifer is
bad man and has been accused of severa
crimes, but was never prosecuted. Iii
capture will add another to the list o
Cascade county candidates for the peni

APRIL FOOLS DAY.

Strange as it may appear the origin OF
April FOOLS day is a mystery. Even the
derivation Of the word April is unknown.
The traditional etymology, omnia aperit,
at opens everything" can be traced as
far back as Varro. In many countries Of
Europe, as England, France and Germany
the first of April has long been appro-
priated to facetious custom, for which
no very satisfactory origin has been as
signed. To send some unsuspecting
credulous, ignorant person on
some bootless errand is the
great endeavor of the day the
world over. In Scotland the unfor-
tunate dupe is called gowk, meaning
both fool and cuckoo. In France he
is called d'April, or April-fish. One re-
markable theory traces the custom to
Noah, as sending out his dove on quest.
1t is also referred either to the miracle
plays representing the sending of Christ
from Annas to Caiaphas and from Plate
to Herod, or to the change, in France, in
1854, of New Years day to the lst Of
January, which left the LIST of April
destitute of anything but a
burlesque of its former festivities
and more recently an Identification has
been attempted with the Hindoo festival
of Hull, which is cell brated in similar
manner on the the 3lst of March. Nc
references to "All-Fool's Day" have been
found in our EARLIER literature, and i,
seems both England and Germany
derived the fashion from France. Sc
April Fools-Day is like a great man,
people, Sithout pedigree" but Of equal
importance to other days for all that.

IfYou Want Flourishiug Orchard Give
the Roots Plenty of Moisture.
All trees send their roots after mois-
ture as We often see 10y examining a tree
on the bank of stream where the roots
will be seen running down to the water
or to the moist land at the waters edge.
Some trees will send roots upwards of 100
feet to get moisture. We can thus see
that to give the tree sufficient amount OF
moisture we must use artificial mean g
where there is not water supply for the
roots to reach.
By loosening the ground to depth OF
eight or ten feet this result has been OBJ
tanned and most wonderful growth has
been made. This can be done by the use Of
dynamite. We have records where trees
thus treated have made growth of three
and four times that of trees not treated.
The dynamite will loosen the ground to 9
depth Of eight or ten feet, thereby hold.
leg the moisture for much longer period
and loosening the soil 50 the roots will
have mellow soil to push through and
get the material in the soil necessary for
their growth. Nearly all the soil in the
arid region forms a sort OF hard pan in
the dry season this pan is broken up by
the dynamite as to offer no resistance to
the tree-rcots in their lateral growth.

About O'Clock Monday afternoon Ed
ward Pohle found medicine bottle
washed up ON the bank of the river, near
the company's wharfboat, with broken
cork in the mouth and the following note
on the inside, says The Dalles Times
Mountaineer
"APRIL 3. 1898.
Unto whose hands this might fall into.
"Will know that l, Jas. A. Jones, a
fisherman, while on trip down the Co
lumbia in old skiff when heavy wind is
blowing and my boat is leaking and have
lost both oars and am at the mercy of
dcd. When let go this bottle will be
in the water and can't swim. So God
help me. Yours, etc.
~. A. JONES'"
No place is given where this was writ
ten and, as no such man is known in this
vicinity it is presumed that the accident
happened somewhere east of this city.
This will account for the boat which was
found Sunday, bottom up, floating down
the river. Undoubtedly the poor fellow
was drowned, and the body may be found
in few days floating in the river.
