Moro Observer: Miss Mollie Nichols, who
disappeared from Grants about three weeks
ago, is still missing. She started out on
horseback, it is supposed to round up some
norses of hers, and had but very little
money with her at the time, so she cannot
have travelled very far, unless she rode
down into Crook county, where she had

appears to be about years of age. The
children have been warned against talking
to m n, and say that their mother told
them some one would try to steal them 1t
they talked to them. Deputy Sheriff
Croner placed them In charge of an officer
at hotel ID Eugene, and with Sheriff NO
land, of Lane county, came to this city on
the early morniog train They have teie-
graphed Miller at The DAl es, where be was
last heard from. and at Summerville, his
home, but have not yet received response
from him.
THE officers are confident the little girl
in their charge is his lost child. Their
theory is that Smith and his wife found
that Miller was close on their track, haying
traced them as far as The Dalles, which
place they LETT july II, and that thew
thought best to get rid OF the girl, which
accounts for her being sent to Eugene 1t
Is supposed the boy was also stolen. Smith
and his wife belong to the Stewart and
Sherlock gang of Irish gypsies, who have
been in this northwest country about
year."

Gum-Ohewing.

An exchange says: The only reliable
remedy for bleeding at the nose is to move
the jaws rapidly. This has been known
for years, but a modern fad has made it
more easy to adhere to the prescription. If
person who is suffering from severe hem
orrhage OF this character will chew gum
viciously for a minute or two, the bleeding
will entirely cease. and 1t is important for
him to keep some gum in his pockt so that
when the feeling of fullness which precedes
the renewal of an attack comes on he can
avert the danger in few minutes" This
no doubt accounts tor the large number of
gum chewers In this city. 1t is for its
remedied effects on hemorrhage OF the nose.
