The enlisted Indians do not prove
as good soldiers as was expected and
several companies have disbanded.
1t seemed for a time good way to
introduce the Indian to civilization,
in way that would be most pleas.
ing to his savage nature If we were
fighting, these Indians would prob
ably make good soldiers, but they do
not take to the restraints OF soldier life
in times of peace. They take advan-
tage of the laws allowing them to buy
their discharges. Probably what re-
straint they are subjected to before
they can do this will prove of some
benefit to them.

Elder ScoIes in Trouble.

Fridays East Oregonian has the
following to say Of Elder Scoles,
the Advent preacher:
William Roesch has a small son,
known as Bismarck. Bismarck
and some other boys were anus
ing themselves, Thursday evening,
by striking stones on the bell
which is used to announce the
meetings at the Bruce building,
where Elder Scoles, the Advantist
orator, nightly expounds his beliefs
concerning the proper Sabbath day
and the approaching end of the
world and all its appurtenances.
From what can be learned OF the
case, Elder Scoles did not approve
Of this practice Of the boys, and
occasionally darted out of the back
door to drive them away. On this
occasion he came out of the front
door instead, and the fortunate
youngsters who saw him made their
escape. But Bismark was not one
Of these. He had been watching
the back door, and was surprised
and taken prisoner, a fate that has
never overtaken the redoubtable
and famous person whose name
he bears.
The frightened captive was haul
ed into the building by the outrag-
ed and angry prophet AMI there,
it is related, hands were laid upon
him and punishment administered
in that part of small boys anat-
omy particularly well adapted fol
the purpose. Of course, he did not
suffer in silence, and his outcries
brought reinforcementin the person
of his paternal parent, who rushed
over into the building.
Now "Billy" Roesch is peacabl'
man, but the idea Of his boy being
spanked by total stranger, wal
more than he felt called upon tC
stand. Consequently, he collarec
Elder Scoles, "swatted' him a
time or two ON the cheek, and ask
ed him how he liked it. The elders
wife objected to the distur
bance inside,so Mr.. Roesch escorted
Mr.. Scoles outside and did tn,
same thing over again. "Billy'
was angry and used some harsl
words during the performance
/ After he had fully satisfied hi
wrath the trouble ceased.
Thus endeth the chapter, and tn
story is told as it was told to tn
writer. The bell has been remoy

Wedding Bells.

ron Wednesday of this week, oc-
eurred the event of the season in
Athena, it being the marriage of
Mr.. C. A. Shafer, of Ping, Wash
ington, and Miss Viola Butler, of
this city, The marriage took
place in the Christian Church,
which was packed to its utmost
capacity with the friends of the
bride. Promptly at 3 o'clock the
carriage containing The bridal
party, which consisted of the bride
and groom, and Mr.. and Mrs. D.
III. johnson, arrived at the church,
and as they passed down the
church isle ssthe Athena band in
full uniform played Mendelssohn's
wedding March" The ushers
escorted the parties to the altar,
where DR.. I. N. Richardson per-
formed the brief ceremony uniting
them as husband and wife. The
bride was dressed in a beautiful
dress of tan, tastily decorated in
orarge blossoms, while the groom
wore the conventional black so APP
propriate for such occasions.
After prayer, and music by the
hand, Rev. e. A Leonard, with q
4sw we'll chosen remarks, presented
the bride with an elegant silver
tea service as token of esteem
from the business men of this CITY,,
and Rev. ]. B. Daisley in a pleas
ant manner presented a beautiful
present from G. w. Hollis and EN-.
ployers, and also one from Mr.. and
Mrs. A. NJ. Gillis, after which the
happy couple received congratula-
tions of friends.
In the evening the Athena band
rendered the happy couple a sere-
made at the residence Of Mr.. John
son. After rendering some excel
lent music the band boys were in
|, vited into the house to partake of
the good things under which the
table groaned. A serenade was al
so rendered the newly married pail
by the little girls Of the brides
Sunday school class, who sang sew
eral very pretty aud appropriate
songs.

bountiful supply Of wedding cake,
for which we extend thanks. May

A FIRE AT HELIx
It is Caused by Burglars Blowing Open
a Safe With Powder.

It was about midnight when He
lix was awakened by the sound Of
an explosion good deal like the
report of an anvil. Not long after
ward r. H. Simpsons store was
discovered to be ablaze, and the
cry of "firel frew startled the ears
of drowsy citizens, who rushed out
of their homes and excitedly sought
for means ofcombatting the flames.
Simpsons general merchandise
store was seething mass offiames
when the volunteer bucket brigade
arrived on the scene. Although
everybody worked like a hero, it
was soon evident that the building,
with all its contents was doomed
to be destroyed by the fiery demon,
and the efforts of the people were
turned to preventing a general con-
f1agration. Thirty feet from the
Simpson building stood G. F. Ken
nedy's grocery store, the paint on
which was blistering and beginning
to smoke. It was acritical moment,
for all knew that if the building
caught the whole business part of
| the town was doomed to destruc-
tion. 1t was then that every man
seemed to get in the place where
he could do the most good, and by
superhuman efforts they saved the
building. Men carried buckets of
water from convenient street pud-
dies, and John L. Basyc bethought
himself of ninety feet of hose stow
ed away in his cellar. This was
hurriedly brought out, attached to
Peter Sone's force pump and did
such good service that the building
was saved.
Through the windows of the
burnt building could be seen the
cause Of the misfortune. The door
of the safe had been blown off by
burglars. The safe was wrapped
| with blankets to muffle the sound
and the powder blaze had evident
lily set fire to the blankets, 1t is
4 not supposed that the thieves in
tended to fire the store. but made
off quickly after the explosion,
deemiug it unwise to await the re-
suit.
There was a general feeling Of
sympathy for MI. Simpson, who,
during the several years he has
been in business at Helix estab-
lished himself thoroughly in the
i community's respect. His loss is
reported as $4,000 in goods, and
books containing his sole record Of
| $4,000 worth Of accounts were de-
stroyed, so that he will have to de-
pend upon the honesty Of debtors
He has $4,000 insurance.

the cake by offering to take spuds.
Mr.. Press, you are strictly "in it,
If some one hits you in the jaw
with a sack of murphys, you'll
think "spuds," but it will be more
like "dull thuds." Some people
will take bills, while others will
rob tills, and a few break into
mills, but the worst man of all is
the man that takes pills. Give
him room. He's bad man. If
you think he 'aint in it, you're left
that's all. What will | take, did
you say? A little lemon and sug-
ar-no, I'll tell you, I'll take few
more stitches in my old cotton
breeches, while waiting for my
riches, which the dirty sons Of bis
cult makers owe me. That's me,
you bet. 1t seems a little unjust,
for the banks to have the dust, and
still refuse to trust, and let the
merchants bust. But | guess that's
their way of doing business. They
are in a different kind of whole.
Farmers, your wheat will have
to go, to pay the bills you owe, and
save your credit you know, though
the price is very low. Such is life
in the far west. It's the only way.
Wheat dealers, attention: Selling
sacks near eleven, buying wheat at
at thirty-seven, you will never be
forgiven, and you'll never go to
Heaven, as long as you live. That
is SO. It's just that way. Now,
farmers, I don't like to tellathat
you all have to sell, but 1 guess its
Just as we'll. The buyer, brimstosl
will smell. for he's going strais t
to-Hel-ix to swindle the good peo-
pie there. Look out for him. To
avoid all this trouble, and the
wealth Of the county double, why
don't you all pull together, and the
financial crisis weather. Bankers,
merchants and all others, standing
like band of brothers, with your
shoulders to the wheel, none will
heavily burdened feel; each and all
their portion bearing; for the weak
and weary caring; not forgetful Of
sweet charity; for this is the way
to greater prosperity. May You all
live long and prosper.
Yours Truly,
ScRIBBLER.
