everybody is cordially invited to attend.

friends at Mosier. -,
Miss Eta Phillips has been quite i'll
at Mosier, but is improving.
The eaterpillars. are quite pest about
Mosier.. Some of the trees are per-
fectly bare of leaves, and the ground is
covered with the pests.
We think it would be we'll for those
who have animals die near the public
highway to bury them, as the stencil is
terrible.

was burned beyond recognition. His
remains were sent to Milwaukee for
burial. Mrs. John Wagner, an elderly
lady en- route from Butte, Mont, to
Manitou, was dreadfully disfgured, her
face and body being terribly cut and
bruised. She died almost instantly.
The news agent, Oliver Boseley, suffered
excrucating pains and died at 10 O'Clock.
He was crushed under coach. Henry
Klieber received internal and external
wounds. probably fatal. The others in.
jured are:
Charles Wienburg, q travelling man, OF
Chippewa Falls, badly bruised; Fred
Jack, of Bessemer, Mich, badly bruised !;
Arthur Tunica, of Chicago, head cut and
leg sprained; VIM. Ryan, of Sturgeon
Bay, Wis, several ribs broken and head
badly cut.
The cause of the accident is hard to
determine. Some think it was from a
weakness in the track. while others,
railroad men, are inclined to believe the
switch had been tampered with.

OLD BURIAL CUSTOMS.
The Way Funerals Are Conducted by
Different Races.

The Way Funerals Are Conducted By
Different Races.
The Mohammedans always, whether
| in their own country or one of adop.
ton, bury without coffin or caslzet OF
any kind.
The Greeks sometimes buried their
dead in the ground, but more generally
cremated them, in imitation of the
Romans.
In India, up to within the last few
years, either according to her wishes or
otherwise, was cremated on the same
funeral pyre that converted her hus-
bands rcIa2in3 into ashes
When = child dies in Greenland, says
the Chi. ago Mail, the natives bury a
live dog with it, the dog to be used by
the child Is 4 guide to the other world
When questioned in regard to this Pc
culiar superstition. they will answer.
.'A dog can find his way anywhere
The natives of Australia tie the hands
of their dead together and pull out the
nails; this is for fear that the corpse
may scratch its way out of the grave
and become vampire.
Tho primitive Russians place certifi-
cate = character in the dead persons
hands, which is to be given to st. Peter
at the gates OF Heaven.

A BAD PLACE FOR WIDOWS.
In India They Are Treated as II The,
Were Outcasts.

In India They Are Treated as II They
Were Outcasts.
The practice of treating widows as
quasi-criminaIs, outcasts or slaves is
among Hindus of high antiquity. 1t is
probably a substitute for a still older
custom once universal among the con-
quering tribes of the Asiatic world,
Staying the wives of chieftains on the
burial places of their lords
AS manners grew milder and men less
desperate, and new religious ideas
were born, that practice was abolished
and widows We're permitted to live,
but only as persons whose right to
survive must be regarded as imperfect
Their position became that of house
hold slaves, or, rather, family out
casts, entitled to no honor, bound to
servile offices, dressed in the meanest
clothes, fed with the cheapest food
and regarded by friends as persons who
ought to consider themselves incurably
degraded. Had not the very gods
themselves, or the fates, pronounced
them deserving of heavy suffering?
OF course, natural laws are not
wholly suspended even by supersti-
ton, and thousands of widows pro-
tected by personal affection, or their
oyvn abilities, or by their wee lth-for
yvidowhood does not cancel rights of
property-lead decently happy and
contented lives. The majority, how
ever, suffer under the ban typified by
the shaving of their heads, that is,
they are regarded till death rs fallen
from all title to respect,and are treated
with a habitual indignity which, even
when they are exempt from actual op-
preston, makes the position of unof-
tending women no better than that of
slaves or convicts.
So severe is their lot that it excites
pity even among those who believe
that it is sanctioned by religion, and it
would probably have been ameliorated
long since but that it fits in with one
of the principal Hindu arrangements
that of early marriage.

SPOKANE, WASH, May 30.-Concon-

a. m. by the food. Everything went
before it. 1t was a second Johnstown.
The business houses destroyed were

Hane, hardware; L. Linder, livery

the town for distance of mile and a
half were also carried away. Mrs. Al
mira Keith lost her life. 1t is a great
wonder there were no more lives lost.
Aid is needed, as there was nothing
saved by the people.
Conconnully is the chief town of the
Okanogan country. 1t has 700 people.
The nearest railroad and telegraph point
is Coulee City, 1O5 miles distant. The
food was due to the rapid rise of Sal
mon creek, which runs through the
town. The disaster occurred Sunday
morning. Saturday night the entire
Inlcnd Empire experienced terrific
lightning and rain storm. 1t is be-
lieved by the Okanogan men now here
that there was cloudburst after the
high water from the melting SHOWS, and
that this swept away tie dam at the
