Just What's Needed


Exclaims thousands of people who
have taken Hoods Sarsaparilla at this
season of the year, and who have noted
the success of the medicine in giving
them relief from that tired feeling,
waning appetite and state of extreme
exhaustion after the close confinement
of a long winter season, the busy time
attendant upon large and pressing
business during the spring months and
with vacation time yet some weeks dis
tant. 1t is then that the building-up
powers of Hoods Sarsaparilla are
fully appreciated. 1t seems perfectly
adapted to overcome that prostration
caused by change of season, climate or
life, and while it tones and sustains
the system, it purifes and vitalizes the
blOOd.

ON a BIG SCALE.
One Of the Largo Elephants In the Great
Wallace Show Has q Tooth Extracted.


Wallace Show Has Tooth Extracted.
To pull an ordinary tooth requires
more skill than muscular exertion; but
when molar from an elephant has to
be jerked out physical force has to be
exerted. Jeanette, the largest quad
ruped, was afflicted with tooth.ache,
and a remedy had to be applied. This
occurred at Peru, Ind, few months
ago, and to perform the operation a
dentist was sent for from Detroit, Mich.
Jeannette's measurement was taken
from her tail to her neck. just that
distance from corner in brick build.
ing with fourteen-inch wall was
erected, with massive oak timbers, q
sort of stock, with an adjustable top
piece. She was backed into the corner
and her head put through the timbers,
which were then closed on her neck.
The wall of the building held her body
and she would have to pull her head off
to get away from the timbers.
DR.. Upshall produced pair of for
ceps that would make blacksmith's
tongs look like small plyers. He then
mounted the scaffold built in front and
secured Jeannett's trunk back over her
body with strong straps. Then he
passed strap iron thrOngh ner mouth
and fastened her lower jaw firmly. All
was ready.
He then gripped the great forceps
onto the tooth and with q ratchet de-
vice on the handles he screwed them
tight as possible. Three other strong
men mounted the frame work with him.
At signal all began to.pull. Jeannette
groaned and tried to break away. At
first it was long steady pull, but the
tooth was there to stay. The doctor
instructed his assistants to let up and
they would try other tactics. He di-
rected them to give it short, sudden
jerks in unison. They did so and at each |
''heigho" that molar was given an ar
gument that caused Jeanette to let |
forth terrible groan. Once, twice,
three times they jerked-and then!
The tooth came, but it was mon
ster, and the doctor held it in his for
ceps with considerable qualification.
1t was the largest one he had ever
the pulling of, and the
animal, when relieved of the pain, ap-
peared as docile as kitten.

The Klickitat Railroad.

The citizens of Klickitat county ap-
pear to be in earnest in building the
railroad to Lyle, and expect to have it
in operation in less than a year. From
the Goldendale Sentinel of the 25th we
learn the following regarding the stat
us of the road: "The railroad camp
has been closed up till after harvest on
account OF the scarcity of help. Some
thing near three quarters of mile OF
road has been graded and ready for
the ties. On or before September 18th
work will be resumed and as much of
the road will be graded IS possible be-
fore winter, in order that the road may
be completed in time to haul the next
years crop away. A good sized force
will be put to work in September and
the work pushed right through.

Uncle Toms Cabin,

The novel feature of this popular
drama being rendered under canvass
was witnessed last evening in this city.
There was large attendance, and
every seat in the tent was occupied.
The play was not above criticism, and
in many parts was not up to expecta-
tion. In the first place there was not the
scenery that was adapted to the loca-
tions. The old plantation, or the ice in
the river were not attempted to be rep
we'll taken. Miss Eva was good and SO
was St. Clair and Marks, the lawyer,
while the Quaker and Topsy were fair.
1t did not give satisfaction in any man
ner, and hose who have read the book
and sympathize with the authors crea-
tions will prefer seeing the drama on
stage in d building, with the proper
spectacular effects.

Horse Meat,

Jode Switzler commenced last week
delivering the big band of horses he
has sold to the Portland Horse-M Meat
Canning Company, says the East Ore
qonian. He has scld his entire band,
and the number will run from 5000 to
5000. Mr.. Switzlep does not know just
how many horses he has lost. There
may be 5000, and there may be 1000,
across the Columbia river for loading
on the train on this side. He will
bring over bunch every few days, un-
age price he received for the entire
band is about SO per head. The horses
are in very fair condition, and will
doubtless cut up into juicy steaks.

county, or over S2,500,0O0. Canyon

EDITORIAL ASSOCIATION.
Its Membership Not Composed of Active
Workers.

Its Membership Not Composed of Active
Workers.
Among those elected as members of
the Oregon Press association at the
recent convention at Newport was
E. E. Sharon of Portland. Col. J.
B. Eddy objected to Sharon. because
he had only married the sister of the
former editor of the Pacific Builder.
and, by the way, Col. J. B. Eddy is
not known as an editor in this state,
and has not been for number of years
past. 1t seems that the Editorial as
sociation is only such in name, and is
largely composed of members who
have no connection with newspapers
or have intimate business relations
with knights of the quill. While it re-
mains as it is it cannot expect the SYM
pathy of the editorial fraternity or
but little support from them. There
is urgent need of an association COM
posed of workers-men who are di-
rectly interested in journalism: but
while the convention is composed of
men who are not identified with the
interests of this honorable profession,
or who have little concern in its ad-
vancement, there cannot be expected
harmony will exist in matters which
tend directly to the benefit of those
who make living by following the
or who haye personal am
bition in it's accomplishing its mission.

Fatal Mischief.

The body of the little girl-Hattie
Colby-who was drowned at Jones'
saw-mill near Portland, Monday even
ing, was recovered yesterday morning.
From the affidavit of little girl who
saw the accident it is learned that
Hattie attempted to cross over some
logs to the shore, when William
Moran, to frighten her, began to roll
them, and she fell into the water. He
Jumped into the river, and attempted
to rescue her; but while swimming
with her was struck in the head with
log, and never rose to the surface
again. If these are the facts two lives
were sacrificed to the mischievious
pranks of boy, and he paid dearly
for his fun.

THE AUBURN TRAGEDY.
All circumstances Point to Deliberate
NfDrder.
La G ande Chronicle,

La G ande Chronicle.
The scene OF the tragedy Saturday
evening in which James Searcy killed
Brown, was ut the Allie 2: quartz
claim, about one-quarter OF a mile
northeast of Auburn, and where Brown
fell after being shot by Searcy was
within forty feet of the fatal spot
where S. J. Fore killed Dell over an
adjoining claim, the White mine,
about three years ago. The circum-
stances leading up to the late murder
appear to be that Sedrcy, together
with Fl. J. Perry, Geo. T. Porter and
G. P. We'll, all of Baker City, were the
owners of Allie P. claim. Searcy was
at Sparta. Messrs. Perry, Porter and
We'll leased their portion of the claim
to Albert Brown and Joseph Meyer
tholen. the lease commencing on July
10Th last. Brown and Meyertholen
went to the claim and commenced
working the ground. Searcy came
over from Sparta and did not approve
of the lease, Notwithstanding the in
strument of writing did not in any way
interfere with his rights in the prem
ises. On Saturday he went on horse
back to the mine and found Brown and
Meyertholen at work. He rode up to
where they were rocking" and first
addressed himself to Meyertholen, Or
dering him to vacate the place. Mey-
erthoIen told him he would vacate,
but Brown was little more obstinate
about going and told Searcy that he
had a right to be on the ground and
would not leave. Searcy, acting
promptly upon his murderous impulse,
shot Brown, the pistol ball taking eff
feet below the right eye, ranging back
ward and downward and lodging in
his spinal column. Brown died almost
instantly. When the shot was fired |
ran and was followed by |
three shots from Searcy's pistol, one
of which took effect in his left foot and |
causing him to fall to the ground. |
Searcy then rode away on his horse /!
and has not been seen since, although !
Sheriff Kilburn and deputies have been ,
securing the country ever since. 1t is (
thought that he left for the vicinity of |
Sparta where he owned placer claim i
together with George Tiger and STAN
,on Wilson, and would outfit there for

Surveys in the Cascades,

Surveyor-General Arnold has been
busy recently opening bids for survey
ing that section of the Willamette
Valley & Cascade Mountains Wagon
Road Company's grant extending across
the Cascades forest reserve, and
comprising some 13 townships. There
are q bids submitted, nearly all of
which are for the survey of the whole
tract. Mr.. Arnold had several assis-
tants busy making out "plat" of the
bids on sheet of paper as big as a
map OF the United States, and 1t will
take the whole force in the Office two
or three days to figure out who is en-.
titled to the contract.

SNAKES AND RATS.
Some Stories From Fisherman on the
Columbia RIVER.

Some Stories From Fisherman on the
Columbia RIVER.
Chipman's Pocket is q cove on the
Washington side of the Columbia
river, about two miles west of the city.
Since the fishing season has opened
Mr.. Chas. Nieberger with companion
have camped there so as to be con-
venient to their nets which have been
placed in the stream. To anyone who
is anxious to listen to snake or rat
story i; is only necessary to get Me
berger in proper condition and he can
eclipse anything that was ever credited
to Baron Maunchausen. There is un-
questionably numerous rattlesnakes in
that vicinity, and they are forced to
pass the camp to get to- the water.
Charlie amuses himself, during leisure
moments, killing these, and he has a
string of rattles of considerable
length, which he intends to fasten on
his clothes as a charm against head
ache, malaria and bilious f.ver.
Their potency to ward off the former
ailment is vouched for by several who
have tried the experiment: but they
must be so placed in the rim of the
hat so as to mingle with the hair, and
they have more potent influence
with auburn or red locks than with
blonde or brown. Of course, bald
headed men are out of the question,
and they will receive no benefit from
the experiment. But Nieberger's
wood rat surpasses any description OF
q rodent that has ever appeared in
print. Whenever Charlie leaves camp
this animal amuses himself by piling
knives, forks and spoons in a convent
ent spot and covering them with grass
to keep sand and dust away. Dry crusts
of bread and refuse from the table
furnishes dainty meals for the rat, and
in consideration of the provisions the
rodent does kitchen work whenever
the opportunity offers. These rehear-
sails of Nieberger's experiences could
be heightened out indefinitely, but |
perhaps it is now time to come to a |
FULL stop. On some other occasion,
perhaps, when the reporter of the |
Observation-Disclosures has time and |
space he may give another chapter,
md until then it may be considered as
continued in some future number"
