He Paid His Fine


Pendleton officials had fun with
r. HI. Whitehead the other day.
He and R. M. O'Brien went to the
hotel together and took room.
After talking crops and prospects
generally, the two retired to bed,
and in the morning Mr.. Whitehead,
by mistake, put on Mr.. O'Brien's
shoes. During the forenoon the
latter discovered that he W as wear
ing Mr.. Whitehead's shoes, having
taken the pair left by that gentle
man. Some of the friends Of Mr..
Whitehead conveyed the idea that
I this mistake furnished the oppor-
tunity for the perpetration Of a
practical joke, and SO Justice Parkes
issued a warrant for Whitehead's
arrest and gave it to L. M. Watrus,
bosom friend of the man arrested.
1t took drinks for the crowd to set
tie the matter up.

The Itching Palm /.

The itching palm of the law in
Justice courts has demanded so
much scratching that the grand
jury of Umatilla county has found
it necessary to censure those too
eager in seeking fees. Complaints
against this evil comes from many
parts of Oregon, In Tillamook
county it is said that thousands of
dollars are paid out every year for
costs in petty criminal cases, most
of which are instituted merely for
spite. So long as the law can be
used for revenge, there will be found
those who will grasp the weapon;
so long as district attorneys are
human, and are paid by the coun.
ty $40 for each conviction and $5
for each acquittal, there are apt to
be district attorneys who will see
with the eyes of the complainant
witness. Justices have power to
require cost bonds, and to assess
the costs against complainants, but
too seldom do either. The exam
pie of the Eugene jury should Of
ten be followed. 1t found, the
other day, in addition to the ver-
dict, that the action was without
merit, and had been maliciously
brought.--Portland Oregonian.

BUT FORTY CENTS.
Still the Burglar Showed no Mercy
Whatever-

WUuleNSF.
Sunday night a burglar entered
the residence of VIM. Gholson, in
the north part of town. He gained
entrance by way of the dining room
door which had been left unlocked.
A dim light was, as is the Gus
tom, burning in Mr.. Gholson's bed
room. but this did not for an in
slant deter the Knight of the
skeleton key" in his purpose of
deftly going through "Billy's'
trousers which were lying on the
floor at the side of the bed.
The burglar must have felt some
what like the sports who went down
to Hot Springs, Arkansas, to wit
ness the big fight, when he found
that Mr.. Gholson's fat purse con-
tanned but 40 centsl And that in
hated silver, too! Mr.. Gholson
considers himself lucky, and is per-
fectly satisfied for once in his life
with his financial possessions, But
the burglar, what of him? Per-
haps he came to the conclusion that
he is not "up-to. date" in the little
matter Of sizing up the outward APP
pearances of things in general.when
it comes to making rich "haul." "

Hurried Orders Given Naval Officials
by Secretary Herbert.
A Washington special of Nov. 6,
says:
Rear Admiral Bunce was today
directed by the. secretary Of the
navy to get the vessels of the At
lantic squadron in readiness to sail
for the Caribbean Sea as early as
possible. Orders were issued to the
commander of the New York and
and Norfolk navy yards to hasten
the repairs ON the vessels which
are to be included in the fleet. The
unusual activity displayed by the
navy department is regarded as
very significant by those who are
inclined to expect serious consequ-
eDces as the result of the firm stand
the administration has taken in
the Venezuelan question.
Though it would appear that the
administration is preparing for
some great emergency, careful in
quiry among the authorities fails
to bear out such belief. Secretary
Herbert and Rear Admiral Ram

tion, declared tonight that the yes.
sells which will comprise Admiral
Bunce's squadron only means that
the department is anxious to carry
out the remainder Of the program
of naval maneuvers outlined last
spring for this fleet. Admiral
Ramsy said that the squadron
would not sail before Nov. 30, and
that all instructions that had been
issued had been intended to pre-.
vent any delay beyond that date.

the possibilities Of utilizing the
ships for the purpose Of making a

James Beardsley and George Gill
lenbeck were to meet this afternoon
at the gymnasium of the Pendleton
Athletic Club and arrange articles
of agreement for mill with seven
ounce gloves to take place soon in
Pendleton. The famous pugilists
propose to go into training and
work off from 80 to 80 pounds of
surplus avordupois, getting down
to fighting trim sometime in the
near future. In the absence of the
Corbett- Fitzsmmons fight, the
country will await this scrap with
breathless interest. The sports
are saving their money to put on
the favorites. Which one will give

Don't Like the New Location,

The people living along Mecham
creek have complained great deal
of late of the removal of the post
office from Wilbur to Gibbon which
change causes their travelling ten
or twelve miles for their mail. A
gentleman who was from Meacham
creek yesterday said that there
were many people who, when the
postoffice was located at Wilbur,
were compelled to go five or six
miles for their mail. Now that
they have to go to Gibbon to in
quire for letters, they must travel
from ten to twelve miles.

The Marshal Extracts Knife From
His Mouth.
Everybody knows the Indian,
Liberty, and they know him to be
beastly mean when drunk. Sum
day Liberty was in town and when
night came he was pretty we'll fill
ed up, and immediately started on
carouse over town.
The first place he brought up at
was the house where Mrs. Burden
and her three little children live,
on 3rd street. His pesky red hide
was saved from being punctured by
revolver in the determined ladies'
hands, by the arrival of James
Sharp and Chas. Keen on the scene.
They took the Indian in tow and
led him to his horse and admonish
ed him TO leave town.
This, however, he did not do, but
instead went up in the north part
of town and scared Mrs. Doc"
Stamper half to death. James
Mitchell happened along and took
charge of the drunken Indian,
brought him down town and turn
ed him over to Marshal GillIs who
landed him in the cooler. Before
going in the marshal asked him if
Re had anything on him, to which
he replied, mo" search through
the folds Of his gaudy blanket re-
yealed nothing in the way of arms.
The moon was shining brightly,
and when the Indian spoke the

HIGH PRICES FOR HORSES.

Tho Horseless Ago Is Evidently Very Far
Distant still.
When pair Of registered Hackney
mares sells in harness at public auction
for 1000 guineas it is somewhat diff
cult to conjure up vision OF ''the
horseless age" 'The passing of the
horse"-that phrase which now so
rhythmically glides from the daily
press-is not without its real signifi-
eance. 1t means that the horse is pass
ing old marks as to time on the track
and price in the market place. His
royal highness the prince of Wales
caused selection of Hackney brood
mares and fllies and hacks and harness
horses to be sold from his Sandring-
ham stud July II, and flfty-three head
made an average of $3.50. Thirty-one
1Iacl1neys made an average OF 1865 and
twenty-five hacks and harness horses
averaged 1920. Included in this last
average are the Hackney mares which
In harness brought $4,000 These were
the 4-year-olds Bay of Ancona 5000,
by Aeoneus I'd, and Viola (6,27S), by
our own Cadet. The purchaser was VIII
liam Waldorf. Astor. Red Ruin, hy
Cadet, and lSit-Cat, by Vigorous
brought 1,750, the next highest price
for pair. Thoroughbred, Arab, Cleve-
land Bay and Hackney stations sired
the harness horses, and the Hackney
progeny led considerably in the sell
ing. Among the Hackney breeding
stock the highest price was $4,000 for
the Confidence mare Jessy,which fell to
Sir Walter Gil bey; but Cadeau, by
Cadet, was hard after this figure, with
bid of S1,75O from Lord Durham.
Seven of the mares and fillies each
brought $1,000 or upward, while only
ten sold for less than $500. Col. North,
the "nitrate king" was the heaviest
purchaser, although Mr.. Astor bought
five, including the highest-priced pair.

tant of that city was afflicted with
cataract in both eyes. He contracted
with skilled physician to have two
operations performed on each eye
--for fifty pounds sterling The first
operation proved very successful, but
when the doctor offered to operate also
on the other eye the patient refused,
declaring that he could see as much as
he wanted to see with the one eye, and
rendered half of the amount stipulated,

physician, however, says that he fixed
the price as low as he did in considera-
ton of the quantity of payment to be
received, not in consideration of the
quantity of work to be done, and the
unique dispute is now before the courts
awaiting Solomonic settlement.

A Kentucky Horse Eagerly Swallows a
Half Barrel of Whitcwash.

Mollic, Il fancy buggy mare belong

developed a singular appetite night be-
for last, and her recovery from the
effects of her strange freak Is pu2Hling
the vctCrinariCs One OF the work
men on the farm had prepared half
barrel of whitcwash and left II in the
lot where the marc was to be over
night, SO that it would be ready for use
early the next morning. During the
night the marc ran across the barrel
containing the mixture of lime and
water, and not only drank all of ii but
scraped the bottom Of the barrel clean
of the surplus lime that bad settled
there. She was found the next morn
ing PROSTATE and evidently suffering
the most circulating torture. Her
head was swollen to twice it's natural
size, and Il stream OF saliva was rum
ming from her mouth. Mr.. Logan sent
to Danyilc in great haste for n veteri
nary surgeon, and in the meantime be-
gan seeking 70" the cause Of Tie ami
mails illness. Marks of lime and
whitcwash upon her head caused him
TO look in the barrel, and then 1t
dawncd upon him that she had drunk
fifteen or twenty gallons of whitcwash.
lie then poured several gallons Of oil
down her throat, together with three
dozen raw eggs. This soothing treat
ment seemed to qurll the fires raging
in the mares stomach. and she began
to improve mt once. She Is now able
to eat blue grass, and will soon be
completely cured. 4 feature of the
case that makes ii more singular still

JUST IN TIME.
Part Played by a Pickpocllet in Love
Episode.

At the main entrance of one OF the
chief London tkeatcrs stood two mem
bers of what is known as the light
fingered fraternity" that is to say
that they-Mr. Callaghan, known
among his friends as Calls, and Rah-
bit, whose real rame was not known
even to himself-wcre picl<pockets.
Il think whispered CalIy, that
we'd better remain as near together as
possible. If the police get one OF us
we can start UP 4 row and get away"
Here and there among the dispers-
ing crowd they found no difficulty in
plying their trade.
Suddenly Mr. Callaghan stopped
with a half-smotbercd exclamation,
leaning toward Rabbit, whispered in
his ear.-"tireat guns! Look at that
girl, Rabbit. Isn't she an angela
queeu-a princess Rabbit, if it
We're not for my undying love for
Molly would adore that girl. Rab-
pit, I'm going to have her handker
chief or something from her if have
to do time for it"
(which girl?" asked the rabbit,
THE one that is escorted by that
handsome fellow who looks so pale
looks trihe like me. Ten to one she
has just rejected him. All, Molly, if it
we're not for you | might be rejected
ny that fair being myself. Rabbit, as
she comes down to the carriage you
t,1.n 1,f g;l hDh;,,i Nd
on the right, which will be more diff
ficult, as the pale fellow will be on the
right"
Mr.. Callaghan's undertaking was
both difficult and dangerous, but he
had the courage born Of long list of
successes. He edged his way up, and
slipped his delicate left hand eau
tiously between the girl and her es-
cort.
A singular thing occurred just then,
He noticed that she blushed very VIC
lently all at once, and looked AT the
ground, just as his own Molly did the
first time he kissed her.
Then Mr.. Callaghan was conscious
that she held something out timidly in
her gloved right hand, bending her
wrist just little. Mr.. Callaghan
looked and saw something glitter.
He reached for the glittering object,
intending to snatch it from her when,
to his intense establishment, just as
his hand was stretched out. she placed
the object carefully in his palm.
He looked at her just for an instant.
She was still looking down, and away
from the pair.
Mr. Callaghau did not stop to ask
any questions. He got out Of the
crowd as fast as he could. we'll aware
that he held in his hand solitaire
! ring.
He and the Rabbit met but few
streets away. Mr. Callaghan was
flushed with success, but pensive,
The Rabbit was hilarious with sue
cess and not at all pensive.
"Cally said the Rabbit, we're rich
for month. "
