There are More Ways of SHINING an

Than one. This, of course, is no news to
veteran fishermen who clean their own
fish. But there is always best way in
everything. The best way to overcome
or prevent malaria, to conquer incipient
rheumatism or kidney trouble, and to re-
lieve dyspepsia, biliousness, constipation
and nervousness, is to begin without de-
lay and to pursue steadily and regularly,
the use of Hostetters Stomach Bitters, a
standard medicine indorsed by medical
men everywhere. 1t strengthens the sys-
tenn and improves the appetite and sleep
of those who enjoy it as restorative,
and accomplshes healthgiving results
which fairly astonishes those previously
unacquainted with its efficacy. Invalids
of all sorts testify in it's behalf. 1t is the
leading tonic of this era.

A Tedious Trip.

Passengers who arrived on the de-
layed passenger train from Portland
last evening report tedious trip. The
train left Portland Thursday evening on
time, but was unable to proceed further
than Oneonta. At this point freight
train and the rotary plow were stuck in
an avalanche of snow. A freight with
sixty-one cars had lett Albina, and as
the engine had about all 1t could do to
draw the cars on a smooth track, it's
power to buck any snow was limited
1t was found necessary to set out num-
Der of cars before Oneonta was reached.
IAYhat made matters worse was that only
one engine was pushing the rotary and
could not furnish the power requisite to
go through the drifts. The snow piled
in over the engine and plow SO that
finally the engine was unable to back
out, and things came to standstill.
Conductor Bennett, with a large force
of men and several engines, came up
from Portland and proceeded to get the
freight train from out its difficulty.
Fifteen cars were covered with snow.
When the freight train was extricated
more engines were attached to the snow
plow, and the freight train being put on
siding, the rotary was allowed to pass.
Quick work was made of the drifts from
that time on.
The steamer R. R. Thompson left
Portland yesterday morning, intending,

People who were waiting for the local
to pull out this afternoon saw what
came onearly proving fatal accident.
One of the Sandoz brothers, who lives up
Mill creek, had tied his team in front of
the Columbia hotel. The horses fright
ened at the approach of the train, and
plunging forward, got upon the side
walk. Mr.. Sandoz grabbed one of them
Nby the bride, but being unable to con-
trol the frantic animals, slipped and fell
between them. Several bystanders
rushed to his rescue and extricated him
from his perilous position, not, however,
before he was seriously injured. One
Pf the horses had tramped upon his
breast, and he received an ugly cash
under his right eye. His escape from
either being killed or losing his eye was
very narrow, and he can congratula te
himself that aid arrived SO promptly. \
Wasco county has increased more in
population in the past five years than
any other county in Eastern Oregon.
The increase this Ncoynty shows by the
census of 1895 over khst of 1890 is 1 1856.
Sherman county, which, by sentiment
and location seems still a part of Wasco,
is the next on the list, its population
having increased-6 -698 in the same space
Of time IF these two counties have
been able to forge ahead at such rates
during the years of unprecedented hard
times, what will be the rate when times
are good again? Immigration is being
attracted to the fertile lands of Sherman
and Wasco counties, and the next five
years will see an increase In population,
which will make these figures, at pres
ent satisfactory, seem insignificant. The
best of it is that these people who have
made their homes with US are glad they
came.

slefghing last night. The snow had
packed SO that the runners glided easily
over the frozen surface, while the tenn
Fperature was just at the point where it

more four-horse sleighs, filled with jolly
young people, paraded the streets, while
Na host of cutters sped along after them.

act to give to the metropolis of Eastern

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Whole wheat is one OF the best
grains for poultry.
Fowls should be kept from food ten
or twelve hours before killing.
Wheat is rich in material for growth
and stimulates egg production.
To have the hens lay with any regu-
larity in winter their quarters must
be warm.
For fattening fowls cooked food is
better than raw, for the reason that it
is more easily digested.
Buckwheat is q good winter feed. 1t
is valuable as On egg producer and
will keep fowls in good condition.
In manipulating Ebutter, never al
low the hands to come in contact with
it, as their warmth melts and Injuries
the grain.
Now is good time to cut out all
useless, weak or spindling wood in the
orchard. A twig that can be cut with
knife now may require saw next
year.
All forcing by artificial means, it
must be remembered, while it may
succeed in producing eggs for the
table is ruinous so far as breeding is
concerned.
1t is important that the COW should
be given smooth surface for lying
down. Dry bedding should be pro-
vided and cold drafts of air excluded
from the stable.
The appearance of moss on apple
trees shows that there is an excess of
water in the soil. The land should
be drained for orchards as for other
crops. Stagnant water is of no bene-
fit. A system of undertaking should
be employed, so that the subsoil will
hold more moisture for the use of the
roots.
In setting asparagus beds use strong
ones or two year-old sprouts make the
soil as rich as rose bed, and plant
in rows four or five feet apart and two
feet apart in the rows. Set the crowns
from four to SIX inches below the sur
face. in the fall remove the tops be-
fore they ripen seed. Use salt liberal.
~. 1t keeps the weeds down and
helps the asparagus.
A writer in Coleman's Rural World
says that the gradual decadence of
standard varieties of strawberries is
due to carelessness in not constantly
propagating from selected plants.
This is seldom done in planting on
commercial scale, and the result is the
deterioration OF our berries which we
note from year TO year in our markets
and of which there is general com
plant everywhere.

OF English Origin.

Many so-called Americanisms are in
reality archaisms of which the English
origin is forgotten. The phase 'let
slide is supposed to be an American
ism, but students of English literature
will call to mind the following stanza
from Chaucer's 'Clerkes Tale"
Il blame him not that he considered
nought
In time coming what might him belittle.
But on his lust present was all his
thought,
And for TO hauke and hunt on every side;
Wei nigh all other cures let he slide,
And exc he n old land that was worst Of
Wedden no wifi for ought that might
befan."
The term Il guess" was also used by
Chaucer:
with him Their was his some, a younger
squier.
A lover and a lusty bachelor,
With locks crulle as they were laide in
presse,
Of twenty year of age he was gesse."

ing the word ''homely" to express the
absence of beautiful-as ''homely
girl for plain girl" An example
of such usage may be found in -Shaks-
peare:
Upon a homely object love can wink"
After all, life would be unbearable il
everybody talked like book 1t is far
better to use ''islns" than. in the words
of an illusuious Irishman, to hide
ones nationality under a cloak of per
sonal affectation."

Many prominent lawyers IN London
are of an evangelistic turn OF mind anu
employ their leisure by pulpit exer'
cises in whatever denomination they
favor. Reader Harris, well-known
queens counsel, for instance, Is found
er and head of the obscure body known
as the PentecoStal League. winch Is
holding its annual meetings in LONDON
this week. But the best known preach
ing queens counsel is Samuel Waddy,
q leading light among Methodists- Mr..
Waddy is a good-humored old soul, OF
whom his brethren learned in the law
like occasionally to make fun. Once
when he was on circuit with Mr. NOV
SIR Frank Lockwood, that witty law
yer determined TO see how Waddy be-
haved in the pulpit Accordingly. &C
companied by barrister friend. Mr..
Lockwood visited the Methodist chapel
where Waddy was to preach and took
prominent front seat But Waddy
espied them when he entered the pulpit
and, knowing their object determined
| to get rid of them; so, after some pre-
| lminary exercises, he rose and solemn
| ly said:
Brother Lockwood will lead the CON
gregatiOn in prayer"
Brother" Lockwoods dismay may
| be better imagined than described. Ht
vanished from his seat quicker thar
thought, and no 'Methody" chapel ha'
known his proud presence since.
1t is not often that anyone scores of
Lockwood. Generally it is the othe
way. Once he was engaged ON the op
| posite side from Sir Charles Russell
NOW Lord Russell of KiIlowen), WIN
was trying to browbeat a witness int,
giving direct answer, Yes" or mo
"You can answer any question Yes
or No, declared Sir Charles.
"Oh, can your" retorted Lockwood
MAY ask If you have left off beating
Your wife?"
Of course Lord Russell is not a wife
beaten, but he was fairly cornered. 1,
he said Eyes" he admitted the practice
if he said "No" the situation was still
worse. He did not press the point witt
the witness.
