Twenty-Five dead cattle were taken
from stock cars at this place Friday.
The stock had been loaded at Eugene,
ana by the time they reached Airing

the cattle too long without feed while
waiting shipment.-Arlington Record.

Mrs. D. Reese, of Waitsburs, became
partially paralyzed few days ago and
upon making careful examination it
was found that a sheep tick had been
causing the trouble. The tick had
buried itself in the back of the child's
neck and was hidden by the hair of the
head. Since the tick has been re-
moved the child has steadily improved.

Col. J. M. Patterson is in receipt of
telegram from Post Commander H.
Fl. Learned stating that the G. A. r.

has selected The Dalles as the place of

DUFUR HAPPENINGS.
The Busy Little Town Preparing to Ceie-
brate Independence Day

A light shower on the evening of the
18th followed by a cool. moist, west
wind is staving off danger aud hurt
from dry weather, consequently there
is still q promise of good harvest.
The water company reorganized
some time ago is active putting in a
new plant. The cistern or reservoir
is located on the top of the hill to the
north of town, and will hold near
5000 barrels of water. In making the
excavation the place was found to be
a sand bed, composed of an excellent
quality of pure coarse sand. a hand
full put into tumbler of water will not
show discoloration. This proves that
the hill was at one time part of an
ocean bed.
On next Friday evening labor ex-
change organizer is to hold meet
ing here. Some of our citizens in
talking over the meeting and its pros
poets, the following conversation was
had:
Mr.. Al am favorable to labor ex-
change; but how am 7 to exchange
my labor?
Mr.. H.-Come over and hoe in my
garden, and 1 will come down town
and lofe around the stores and printing
office.
This illustrates the simplicity of
labor exchange; in fact it was almost
a revelation to the assembled few on
the occasion referred to.
On Saturday evening the ladies of
the Christian church will give q lawn
sociable. AS to particulars we are not
but from our acquaintance
with the promoters of the scheme we
feel assured. that there will be a good
time.
Dufur will celebrate the Fourth in |
due and ancient form, with some ad-
ditions. The plan is to begin on
Friday, July I'd, with races and a
base ball game; Saturday there will |
be the usual exercises, consisting of |
singing, reading Declaration, grafton.
and barbecue. After dinner speeches
interspersed with music by the band.

reunion of the old folks and the boys.

l few days ago, having left their home
IN New Brunswick FIVE or six days pre-

Failed to Convict.

The trial of Mrs. lola Beebe in Re-
corder Phelps court Thursday on a
charge of practicing medicine without
license, attracted considerable atten-
tion, and the verdict If acquital REM
dered by the jury, after being out about
five minutes, met with general approv=
al among those who heard the testi-
mony. There was 70 evidence that
Mrs. Beebe had offered to prescribe,
write prescriptions, or do any act in
violation of the Law governing the
practice of medicine. She simply acted
as an agent for DIR. Murray, introduce
ing her remedies and gave treatment
under the directions of the doctor, act
ing in the capacity of nurse. The
trial was spirited one especially when
Mrs. Beebe testified in her own behalf,
she being witness whom the attor-
neys could not Illustrate.

A Washington Wedding.

The marriage of Miss Grayson Mau-
pin Vending, daughter of the we'll
known lecturer, Hon. Geo. R. Wend-
ling, and Mr.. Oliver Whitehead Catch

THE sound money Democrats had a

THE sound money Democrats had a
pow-wow in New York last Saturday
night, and included among the distin-
guished gentlemen who were present
were ex-President Cleveland, Hon.
VIM. L. Wilson, Hon. John G. Carlisle.
General Simon B. Buckner, Senator
Gallery, Josiah Patterson and other
lesser lights. The occasion ostenslbly
was dinner given by the Reform Club
of New York, but there are many per-
sons who think that the real purpose
was to launch boom for another term
for Mr.. Cleveland as President Of the
United States. Mr.. Cleveland made
an address. He referred to the past
campaign, when the blind loyalty
of the SIX or seven millions Of Demo-
Gratis put the country in such great
danger, from which it was delivered
through the action Of those "who loved
the principles of their party too well
to follow its stolen banners meaning
himselfand his few thousand followers.
Referring to his consuming desire to
restore true Democracy, Mr.. Cleveland
said that "tbe path of duty and the
best hope Of safety lie in an immediate
and earnest attempt to accomplish the
rehabilitation and regeneration of the
Democratic party and its return to the
principles Of true Democracy
This is all very fine, of course, and
no Democrat will dispute that the res
toration of the Democratic party is
greatly to be desired. But the ratio
of Democrats who will never again fol-
low Mr.. Cleveland as leader is about
sixteen hundred to one. We have
nothing to say against his action in
standing out so stoutly for the gold
standard and we are quite ready to
concede that he was influenced by
proper and patriotic motives. But we
have no patience with his talk about
his own sturdy partisanship' and his
love for the Democracy. That is all
bosh. From his very first day in the
White House he treated the Democrat
ic leaders with incivility and was ut
terly regardless of the advice and de-
sires of the. members Of his own party.
He can be properly charged with the
wrecking of the Democracy, and no
after-dinner eloquence can wipe out
this fact.
In all conscience, Mr.. Cleveland
ought to remain in retirement. Even
if be were the model party man that
he regards himself, he ought to be sat-
isfed with what he has gotten. There
is limit to patience, and if he shall
again seek to force himself upon the
people, or if his devoted worshippers
shall endeavor to do it for him, there
will be a rebellion that will bury him
so deeply he will never be heard from
again.

A farmer by the name of William
Martin, who resides about FIVE miles
west of Cumberland, a few days ago
had a serious experience with about
a half dozen black snakes. Mr.. Mar
tin was clearing some brush in field
near his house, when he disturbed the
nest of snakes, and they at once at
tackled the man in a way that was not
pleasant to the farmer. One of the
snakes, over seven feet long, succeeded
in wrapping itself around the body
and neck, and was gradually strangling
him, when his son, who was working
in an adjoining field, heard his father
calling for help, and ran to his rescue
Just in time to save him from death.
The son soon despatched the snake by
cutting it in two with penknife.
The other snakes did not alta ok Mr..
Martin, but remained near him, and
made their escape as the son ap-
preached. Mr.. Martin was greatly
shocked, and it was some time before
he was able to get to his home.

The True Remedy.

W. NJ. Repine, editor Tiskilwa, Ill,
"Chief," says: 1--WE won't keep house
without DR.. Kings New Discovery for
Consumption, Coughs and Colds. Ex-
perimented with many others, but
never got the true remedy until we
used Dr. Kings New Discovery. No
other remedy can take its place in our
home, as in 1t We have a certain and
sure cure for Coughs, Colds, Whooping
Cough, etc" 1t is idle to experiment
with others remedies, even if they are
urged on you as just as good as DR..
Kings New Discovery, They are not
as good, because this remedy has a
record of cures and besides is guaran-
teed. 1t never fails TO satisfy. Trial
bottles free at all druggists.

No mystery about it. When the Shak-
ers offered some time ago to give away a
bottle Of their Digestive Cordial to any
one who might call at their New York
office, there was great rush and a great
many people thought they were crazy.
Subsequent events proved it to have
been a very clever advertising transac-
ton, for although they gave away thous-
ands of bottles. it was in the end protita-
BILE: nearly every one that took a free
bottle came back for more and paid for
it with pleasure, saying they had derived
better results from its use than from any
other medicine they had ever used.
There is nothing so uniformly success
full in the treatment of stomach troubles
as the Shaker Digestive Cordial, and
what is better than all, ii relieves at
once.
