Terrific Storm.

News from Pendlston yesterday says
that reports come In from the surroundrp q
country that Mondays storm was the worst
for thirty years. In Pendleton it was
mostly dust storm, but In other places it
did damage. Advices received at the O.
R. & N. companys Offices say there is not a
windmill standing on the line between PEN
dleton and Bolles Junction. In Athena and
vicinity, fifteen windmills blew down, and
the lumber yards are scattered all over
town at Helix, and at Wslla Walla parts of
the roofs OF the passenger depot and ware
house were torn out and bank building
was partially wrecked. The trains came in
at night and are all delayed from fear of
crossing the high trestles. All through
this section the air was black with dense
clouds of dust and fierce storm ragged for
three hours.

Quartz Mining.

1t is not generally known that quart:
mining on a somewhat extensive scale has
been carried on near the mouth of the De-
schutes for the past year. At the right o.
the canyon leading to the Poplar farm from
the former residence of Col. James Fulton,
tunnel has been dug IN the hill to con
siderable length. and the Gre taken out
This yields a5ont $50 to the ton IN the pre-
cious metal, and work il now being done
above the residence. So near at home fo-
mining to be carried on without creating
any excitemeut is something wonderful, and,
if this commuulty,. had been one troubled
with such 'sfevers" the hills around the De-.
schutes would have long since been wished
into the river by hydraulic proc ass. Some
wears ago force of Cinnamon made wages
panniag out the sand near Ceiilo; but quartz
mining was something that never disturbed
the peaceful dreams of oar citizens. The
person who is engaged In tunnelling near
the Deschltes claims to make good wages:
bnt the prospects are not such as to warran-
the belief that new eldorado has been dis
covered within few miles of The Dalles.

Progress at the Looks.

The latest information from the Cas-
cades is to the eff ct that one of the
guard gates at the locks is in position,
and it is expected that the other will
be finished this week. The water has
risen considerably in the Columbia, but
it is hoped that The gates will be ready
to shut before the water gets into the
canal, and thus enable work to be car
ried on for considerable time longer.
The water will have to rise % feet higher
before it will flow over these gates.
Should the June rise of the Columbia be
small one, the water may not go over
the guard gates at all, and so the food
will causeno interruption to work on
the canal. The chances are, however,
that the flood will overtop the gates be-
fore the highest stage is reached. The
men are still working 10 hours per day,
and the contractors are making every
effort to hasten the work to completion.

Huffs had been tenants of Fsldberg and

berg wished them to move off his farm
without giving them sufficient time to re-
move their effects, aid as a result quarreled
with them often ard bitterly. Several

BANKRUPTCY

of the physical being is the result of draw
ing necessarily upon the reserve capital of
nerve force. The wear, tear and strain of
modern life are concentrated upon the nerv-
Gus system. The young men of our day be-
come sufferers from nervous debility or ex-
haustion, nervous prostration or weakness.
This may be the result of too much mental
worry and excitement, or the result of bad
practices and eXcesses, or pernicious habits,
contracted in youth, through ignorance.
They feel irritable, weak and nervous with
such distressing symptoms as backache,
dizziness, shooting pains in head or chest,
sometimes indigestion The middie-aged
men, as well, suffer from exhaustion, loss of
manly power, low spirits, impaired memory,
and many arrangements of mind and body.
The ill-psed brain is norbidly wide awake
when the overworked business man attempts
to find rest in bed,
The physicians and specialists of the In
valids' Hotel and Surgical Institute devote
their best energies to reclaiming and restor-
ing such unfortunates to health and happl-
ness. They have written a book of I63
pages, treating of these maladies and setting
forth rational means of hone-treatrnent
for their cure. It is sent securely sealed, IN

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

By local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear,
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies,
Deafness is caused by an iDtiamed condi-
ton of the mucous lining of the eustach-
Ian tube. When this tube is inf1amed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed,
deafness is the result, and unless the In
fammation can be taken out and this tube
restored to Its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases out
of ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an infiamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of deafness Caused by catarrh)
that cannot he cured by Halls Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars; free.

ing The general laws OF the last session
OF the legislature will be given into the
hands of the state printer Immediately
1t will take several weeks to complete
the work, although the volume is not so
large as that for the previous session
Ninety days is the time allowed for COM

likely will consume this amount of time
before they are completed. As quickly
as the laws are completed State Printer
Leeds intends to start work on the Goth

that both the house and senate journals
will be ready for the primer. From all
indications the state printing office will
be kept pretty busy for the next four or
