Another Demorest medal contest
takes place tomorrow night at the court
house. These entertainments are of a
high class and are awakening wide
spread interest all over the country.
They should receive substantial encour-
agement, as they are proving to be a
great educator and the end in view is
purely charitable. The receipts will be
used for the benefit of the free reading
room of The Dalles, an institution which
lessons dissipation and crime by remov-
ing in a measure temptation, substitut-
ing for cards and drink healthful litera-
ture. The programme will be published
tomorrow.

Book Party.

On Saturday evening Miss Irene
Adams entertained her immediate
friends and relatives at her home with a
delightful book party. Some of the rep
resentations were very unique, for I'M
stance, The Black Beauty, Adam Bede,
Very Hard Cash, My Novel, Dante,
Twice Told Tales, Catalogue, Bread and
Cheese, and Kisses. A prize. for the
one guessing the most books, dainty
piece of decorated china, was won by
Mrs. w. Lord, after which delicious
lunch was served. Every one agreed
that such an enjoyable evening would
not occur twice in life time.

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 to
do, and their makers give the money
back ii the result isn't apparent.
Doesn't it strike you thata medicine
which the makers have 80 much conf
dence in, is the medicine for you.

A battlefield Relic.

A valuable battlefield relic was recent
ly found near the city. It is an eighteen
carat gold case watch, manufactured by
the Tobias Watch company, Liverpool,
the case being No. 8,86S. It was plowed
up one day last week by Mr.. Davis on
the old breastworks in Coke's district.
Cobb county. The case is heavy and
comparatively uninjured. but the rust
has completely eaten the hinges mp. The
covers were both found, but We're sepa-
rated from the case. It is heavily jew
eled and was no doubt very fine watch
The owner is supposed to have been
Elled.-Atlanta Constitution.

A French coastguardsman named
Mainvieille met his death in a re-
markable manner ON the Mediterra-
mean coast, near the mouth of Aude
He was going his rounds with com
rade when the latter. who was few
steps behind, saw Mainvieille sink sud-
denly into some quicksands. He went
down SO rapidly that he was unable to
sieze stick held out to him. and in q
few minutes had disappeared completely
from sight.
The other man ran for assistance, but
it was found impossible to find even the
mans body. as the sea, which was very
rough. was throwing up sand in large
quantities on the spot.-St. James Ga

H. II. Mcclure has produced curios-
ity in the shape of an orange tree, which
in all probability is not exceeded by
anything Of its kind in this or any other
country. Mr.. Mcclure calls it his
''World's Fair Tree," and intends, il
possible, to place it on exhibition at
Chicago. The tree is budded with no
less than thirty-one different varieties of
citrus fruits. including lemons, shad-
docks and most of the fine varieties of
oranges. The buds on the tree are only
two years old, yet many of them are
fruiting. .-Apopka lF'la-) Advertiser.

EDITOR CHRONICLE:
On the 32d inst. you referred to Mr..
Irvine's place on Chenoweth creek as
being the proper place to locate the in
sane asylum for Eastern Oregon. Hav-
ing seen most of Eastern Oregon, l
certainly agree with you as to its being
just the place to locate it, and SO will
every one else that is well acquainted
with Oregon east of the Cascade mount
aims; and as for a healthiul climate,
convenience, pure water and location,
there certainly is no place in the dis
trict with all these advantages. Then
why should we not take steps at once to
secure the location of the asylum at this
place? AS this matter is of great inn
portance, would like to have the ex-
preston of the people at large, and as
soon as possible take; the necessary steps
to complete arrangements for its con-
struction. Come, set your shoulder to
the wheel and give as lift.

Natural process. for Mnllne Gold.

A new process of ree-milling gold works
is in course of construction on the Lake of
the Woods, in the province of Ontario.
The mill and experimental adjnncts
have cost $35, 900. 1t is designed to
treat ores by the same method that ma
ture does, only it will perform in "a
hours work what nature requires ages
to accomplish. The parties interested
positively refuse to discuss this method
in print, pending the practical operation
of the mill, which will be commenced
in few days, but Mr.. Cowles ventures
the opinion that it will reyolutionize
milling and unlock the gold in the re-
fractory ores of America, thus COM
pletely solving the greatest problem
that has ever engrossed the attention of
miners and the general public. The
results of practical experiments will be
awaited with deep interest.

A Cat Ranch.
EASTERN OREGON.
Astorian.

Cats are in demand in Wallowa county.
A Prairie creek farmer went to Joseph
the other day and gathered up every cat
he could find in the town, irrespective
of age, color, sex or general nativity.
He explained to the wondering specta-
tors of his collection that the squirrels
are beginning to appear, and that herd
of cats on ranch is a better invest
ment than poison.in the determined war
that has to be made on Wallowa county's
pests. What a pity it is, after all, that
Jim Wardner didn't establish that cat
ranch over on Puget Sound!

Senator Dodson viii very likely be-
come back number in Baker county
politics. His vote against the portage
railroad bill was against the interest OF
his constituency. and was too plain a
case.-La Grande Chronicle.
A Pomona man had house for sale
for three years at 81 800, and never had
SO much as a nibble at the property.
He constructed lawn about the house,
and did some painting, at a total ex-
pense of $31. The place looked 80 much
improved. that the effect was magical.
He sold the house ten days ago for
5000. He says that little lawn added
the extra price to the property.
