Memaloose island. in the Columbia,

near The Dalles, has been made a reserve
by government proclamation and is set
aside for the use OF the Warm Sprin rs
Indians rs a burial ground. This island
has been used ever since the country was
discovered by the whites as a burial
ground by the Indians and is one OF the
best preserved OF their homes of the dead
In early days there were large dead
houses" on the island, built of cedar, on
the shelves of which could be seen the
remains of Indians from times immemor-
ial. Formerly thousands OF Indians
from all parts of this region visited the
dalles of the Columbia and Tumwater
to fish for salmon, and not only were
those OF them who died or were drowned
buried on Memaloose island, but many
tribes brought their dead from long dis
tances to inter them, the place being safe
from intrusion OF animals and within
sound OF the great rapids, II short distance
above.
A drowning man would have little use
for a method of rescue which would re-
quire days. A dyspeptic doesn't want to
bother with remedy that is going to
take weeks to show lts beneficial effects
The Mount Lebanon Shakers are offer
ing II product under the name OF Shaker
Digestive Cordial which yields immediate
relief. The very first dose proves bene-
fetal in most cases and it is owing to
their unbounded confidence in it, that
they have put 10 cent sample bottles on
the market. These can be had through
any druggist; and it will repay the afflict
ed to invest the trifing sum necessary to
make trial.
The Shaker Digestive Cordial relieves
by resting the stomach and aiding the
digestion of food
Laxol is the best medicine for children.
Doctors recommend it in place of Castor
Oil.
Pleas Bounds and Harry Moran return
ed from Carson, Nevada, this morning,
and, of course, are constantly surrounded
by friends who want to hear about the
well repaid for the trip and say the ex-
perience was worth all it cost-$20 seats
and other expenses included. Mr..
Bounds informed THE HERALD represen.
tstive that Corbett WAS "never in the
fight at any time. That while he APP
peared able to hit Fitzsimmons when and
where he pleased, it seemed to have no
effect, while every blow of the Australian
made Corbett wrinkle up his face. Mr..
Bounds, although he went to Carson a
thorough believer in Corbett, is now con-
WINGED that second fight or any number
of fights could have but similar ending.
Special Deputy Sheriff Corey had a
hard tussle with negro known as
Smokey" the other day. Smokey lives
with Mrs. Julia Coates, a female of lsahle
| hue, who evidently wanted to shake her
boarder and companion. This Smokey
objected to and in order to emphasize his
disapproval struck her in the shoulder
and was throwing rocks at her when the
deputy interfered A scramble followed.
After hard battle Corey took his pris-
oner no before Justice MouIton, but as
| Mrs. Coates was dsinclined to prosecute
| and Prosecutor Snyder thought it best to
| save the county from costs Smokey was
given his freedom after listening to a
| severe reprimand and warning from the
justice
The board of directors of the city schools
urges parents of scholars to keep their
children at school, from now until the
close Of the term, as under the new law

dance of 5l5 scholars and if that average
| is kept up this year the school allotment
will be 81, 900 instead of $4,000.
