An Evening of Music.

A choice musical program will be
fiven at tie Congregational church next
Friday evening by two young ladies.
One is Miss Hattie Stevens, who was
the successful contestant to appear as
pianist at the worlds fair from Mon
tana. The other is Miss Gladys Jones
who has charmed audiences by her
singing all over Oregon, and is said to be
the states sweetest singer. OF the
many complimentary notices given the
young ladies, we select the following:
Miss Gladys Jones displayed
her remarkable voice to advantage in a
pleasing solo, GAS the Dawn" artisti-
cally rendered.-Oregonian.
For the playing and singing of Miss
Hattie Stevens everybody has the highest
praise. In time and touch and finish OF
execution she has eminently the qualif-
cations that make her fine pianist.
She has a rich, fresh, clear voice and
sings with apparently so little exertion.
Her friends have much to hope for in the
development of her voice.-Lewiston
Teller.
Tickets may be obtained at the drug
store of Blakeley & Houghton or of Rev
W. G. Curtis.

HE "ruRNED THEM LOOSE"
A Historical Marriage and Divorce Pro-
ccedIng of 1856.

1
The old pioneers are fast passing
away, and with them, too often, inte :
esting facts in local history, which ap-
pear in this day odd or unconventional.
But when 1t is remembered that the
three departments of government, legis-
lative, executive and judicial, were car
ried on in very lax manner in those
early days, when the unlearned, un-
practiced, but generally quite intelligent,
men. held the chief positions in church
or state, it is not to be wondered rat that
the various transactions of these func-
tionaries seemed at times little irregu-
lar from the standpoint offjurisprudence
or religion as administered today.
1t is our intention to give the particu-
lars of marriage and divorce of 1856,
which happened on 15-Mile creek, near
The Dalles. The facts are well authen-
| ticated, though the historian prefers
that his name be not mentioned openly.
In the year named Lew Henderson was
justice of the peace on 15-Mile creek,
with jurisdiction of 100 miles or more
to the south and east and as far as the
Cascades to the west. There came one
beautiful morning a couple to be mar
ried, and Henderson was requested to
tie the knot. He of course did go in the
approved manner of the day. Three
months later the same couple came be-
fore him, bright and smiling, but with
the following complaint, made by tho
recently-made husband:
Judge, three months ago you tied
the knot which made us one, but we
find we are not suited to each other.
We have made mistake. There is an
incompatibility between US, and we
want to be severed from the marriage
relation. We want divorce
"But, my dear sir.'' said Henderson,
ST am only a justice of the peace. ]
can marry you, but 1 have no authority
to grant divorce
"Who hasP'
81 don't know; perhaps Salem would
be the nearest place."
'Well, now, we don't intend to walk
to Salem. You tied the knot, and ]
don't zee any reason why you cannol
unite it. Can't you say whereas some
| thing and turn us loose?''
Henderson was the most accommo
dating man in the world. He wa
plainly perplexed. but resolved to dt
what he could to grant the prayer of tn,
couple standing before him. So he re
quired of each that they sign contrac
in duplicate absolving the other from
the vows of marriage they had takel
three months previously, and in tn,
Language of his petitioners, "turnet
them loose" Neither Henderson no
any one else has ever heard of then
from that day to this. Perhaps boil
are dead. The grass over Henderson
grave has been green many springtimes
and there are comparatively few toda,
in The Dalles who knew him.

savings Banks Depositors, Awake.

"'All the great savings bank states,
with the exception of California, voted
for the gold plank at ST. Louis, says
the Boston Transcript. 1T is safe to
say that the vote for the gold plank
stood for fully seven-eighths of the total
deposits, and perhaps more. " These de-
posits, amounting to more than 81, 70O,-
900, 900, are the rainy day savings, as
The Transcript says, of the 'toiling
millions about whom the silverites are
so greatly concerned. The Transcript
adds: Reckoning their dependents,
these depositors stand for very consid-
cradle proportion Of the entire popula-
ton of the United States If free COLI
age triumphs, these deposits will virtu'
ally be cut III halves.

To the warning of the true bimetal-
lists that free silver coinage at 16 to /
by this government alone would drive
gold out of use as money and so cause
disastrous contraction shallow critics
sneeringly ask, where would the gold
go tor"
1t would go where it went during the
war time-either abroad or into hiding
or into vaults as commodity for spec
ulative gambling.
1t would go where gold has gone in
every free coinage country in the world
out OF sight and out of use either as
currency or as the reserve for banks.
Gold is now in general use as currency
in the Pacific states. It is held by the
government and by banks in all parts Of
the country as a reserve to sustain the
circulation Of greenbacks and treasury
notes and to maintain the bank credits.
1t serves perfectly it's function as money.
When it goes to premium, it will no
longer do this.
Free coinage means silver monomet-
allism. New York World.

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
lends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, py more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs Of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of a perfect lax
alive; efectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
news, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug

The sailors of all nations believe
that the frigate bird can fly across
the Atlantic in one day They de-
clare that the bird can start from
the coast of Africa at daybreak,
when the wind is blowing strongly
to the west, and roost on the Ameri-
can shore on the following night.
There is no way of proving this as
sertion, of course, but the natural
lists have proved that the frigate
bird can fly 200 miles in a single
hour. st. Louis Republic.
