SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
John stevens and Mrs. Stansbury Per-
haps Fatally Injured.

Last evening about 10 o'clock hack,
filled with people, backed off the bridge
about half mile below Dufur, and two
of the occupants had narrow escape
John Stevens of Dufur and Mrs. Stans-
bury of Portland, the mother of Mrs.
ANDREW Dufur. The occupants of the
hack were in attendance upon the camp
meeting. The stream at this point runs
Very swiftly, and in the darkness the
rescue was very difficult This was rem
|dered more so by the fact that the per-
sons named were thrown under the
hack, and being caught, were held there,
their lungs soon filling with water.
After they were extricated, which was
with great difficulty, they were uncon-
scious and DIR. Vanderpool was at once
summoned. Everything possible was
done for the sufferers, but though still
living, they are reported today in a
very precarious condition. A gloom is
cast over Dufur and the accident is the
one topic of discussion.
Mrs.x Stansbury is in more serious
condition than Mr.. Stevens, but both
are suffering acutely and are danger
ously i'll.

The Big Bonanza Co.

A large house greeted the Big Bonanza
Company at Wingate's hall last night
and none were disappointed. A first
class entertainment was given, being a
speciality performance, some of the
features of which were never seen in
any other company. One of these was
the Georgia Wonder" which is very
apt name, for the mysterious force she
utilizes cannot be explained by the lead
ing scientific minds, who confess them
selves baff1ed in trying to account for it.
The combined force of a dozen strong
men cannot force her from an erect
attitude, when standing merely on one
foot. She weighs but S5 pounds, but
when standing on chair and the chair
removed, all the men possible to get a
hold upon her cannot prevent her from
falling to the floor The miniature song
and dance team were very skillful and
comical. The mind reading tests were
the most severe that could be devised, ],
leaving no possible doubt that the per-
formers can actually tell the thoughts of
another's brain. The performance, by
request, will be repeated tonight, with
some changes.

respectable quarters of the city which
are no higher than need be. In sup
port of this claim he cited a hotel which
entertains host of good people from all
quarters of the country, where he paid
but $3.50 day, and stated that the ac-

The citizens of Heppner have been
struck by the rain-making craze. Re-
Gently they attempted to bring rain by
exploding dynamite cartridges at differ
ent points on the high hills about Hepp-
ner. The bombardment was kept up
for several hours, but failed to bring the
much-needed moisture from the clouds.
The Record thinks it isl useless to try
to bring rain out of the clouds by ex-
ploding dynamite on the ground. If
the explosives were discharged high up
in the air it might do some good, but
the trial proved it was waste of pow
der to try to bring rain by exploding it
on the ground

Cutting Down the Help.

The Union Pacific company are re-
trenching with a vengeance. News is
to the effect that the offices are to be
discontinued at Bonneville, Mosier,
Cello and Blalocks. Wherever it is
possible to dispense with help in any
branch they have done so. There is
now but one switch crew in the yards

trenchment will extend down to the

ALUMNI REUNION.
One OF the Pleasantest entertainments
of the Season.

of the Season.
There is something very cheering
about the word reunion, and as the
term alumni reminds one of the happi-
est days of life-school days, taken to-
gether they form pleasing cont bina-
ton, especially to those who were per-
miJted to meet with the alumni of
Wasco Independent Academy last even
ing at Fraternity hall, for never were
guests more highly entertained. Mrs.
Eunice Grove, as president, assisted by
well-chosen committees, did the honors
of the evening; but every member of
the society apparently belonged to the
reception committee. Indeed, it must
have been delightful task to entertain
such host of congenial young people,
for all we're determined to enjoy them
selves, and who could succeed better
than bevy of old schoolmates?
Interspersed with the social inter-
course were two instrumental solos by
Mrs. Grace Condor and Mr.. Nicholas
SInnott, piano duet by Miss Lang and
Miss Mona Ruch, a piano solo by Miss
Brooks and reading by Mr.. N. Sinnott,
which were greatly appreciated. AL
though the class of '88 has but one rep
resentative, it will always be source of
lcongratulation to the alumni, for the
able manner in which Mr.. Sinnott rem
dered Shakespeare's "Cassius to Bru-
tus" displayed talent of which any
alumni might well be proud; in fact,
this society has always been noted for
the superiority of its entertainments.
Y The guests were soon invited to the
parlors below, where tables were spread
in such manner as to fairly take the
breath, but not the appetite, as was
proven, while the mandolin and guitar
club favored them with the sweetest
music. At the center table was seated
the class of '93, and at each ones plate
was found beautiful, little souvenir
booklet in the form of marguerite, the
class flower, with marguerites painted
on the leaves, and the whole bound to-
gether with ribbons of the class colors,
yellow and white.
Another happy hour was enjoyed
aIC0T luHcn, anu III Is SaIe TO say no one
present ever spent pleasanter evening
than that with the alumni of Wasco
Independent Academy.
Among the guests were Prof. Brown,
Miss Leora Slutz and Miss Bessie Hol-
comb, constituting the faculty of the
academy, and Mrs. Mary Myers, who is
always welcomed by every student of
that institution. The one regret of the
evening was that out of an alumni num-
bering sixty members all but the fol-
lowing were unavoidably absent: Glass

CoOkin: by Electricity.

The greatest novelty in cooking ap-
pliances at the fair is unquestionably
the apparatus for cooking by electricity,
shown in operation in the gallery of the
electricity building. The electric cur
rent is conducted into plates Of enamel,
where it meets with resistance and is
converted into heat. These plates are
attached to specially constructed ovens,
broilers, ,griddles, fatirons, etc. An Or
binary stewpan, coffee or tea pot, or
steam cooker may be heated on the
''disk heater" An outfit of articles nee
essary for a private house costs $50, or
$3.50 if a heater for 4 kitchen boiler
is included. Electricity has the same
advantages over coal that gas has; it's
advantages over gas depend upon the
fact that combustion, with it's needs
and limitations, is wholly done away
with There are no products of COM
plete or accidentally imperfect combus-
ton. there is not even a slight loss OF
heat into the room or up the fue. The
strongest points of electrical cooking
are comfort and convenience. but claims
are made for it also on the ScOree Of
economy. 1t is said that the cost of
cooking by electricity is less than the
cost with coal and about the same as
superstition that the electricity is fur
nished at half the price charged for
lighting.-From Household Arts at the

s'MOre Haste. Worse Speed"

Of all the tournaments I ever saw,
che among "dairymaids" at an agri-
cultural show was perhaps the last to
associate itself with that heroic pro
cedure which such a word suggests.
There were about forty Of them, armed
with "churns'' and started at the same
moment to make butter against time
Each came provided with watch and
the temptation was almost irresistible
to turn the handle of the machine as
quickly as possible. But no, butter
must be "humored,' not driven. The
silent lists were filled with the pro-
vckingly deliberate 'fip-fop" of forty
churns One of the slowest combat
ants won the race. I never realized
more plainly that "haste is worst

It is fact: not SO well known but
that it may be said to be curious that

during the time Of tile Commonwealth,
say between 1649 and 1868. From 1880
to 1916 it's use is exceedingly rare, and

nation was first to use it as new letter

able query.
In a like manner the printers and Ian
guage makers in the latter part of the
sixteenth century began to recognize
the fact that there was a sound in
spoken English which was without a
representative in the shape of an al
phabetical sign or character, as the
first sound in the word 'wet." Prior
to that time it had always been spelled
as "vet,' the having the long sound

to convey an idea of the new sound
they began to spell such words as

typical the three words mentioned
above looked like this: ''vvet,' - ''yyeath-
