but the insurgent chiefs seem to evince
no concern either as to the size of his
army or its whereabouts. Each force
appears to keep out of the way of the
other. This is one of the strangest
wars which anybody ever read of. Un-
doubtedly, though, the insurgents
tactics are wise. The Spaniards have
five or six times as many men as the
Cubans, but the rebellion is steadily
increasing in strength.

Last evening about nine o'clock, as
Mrs. J. E. Andrews and Mrs. Burns
were crossing Second street near
Blakeley & Houghton's drug store a
bicycle "scorcher" coming down the
street like cyclone struck Mrs. An
drews, knocking her down, the pedal
of the machine cutting her ankle so
badly that eight stitches had to be
taken.
The fact that such things even
occasionally happen, ought to be
enough to call the attention of the
council to this evil of fast riding on
the streets.
There is wide difference between
the decent citizen taking ride on
wheel and the easily recognized
bicvcle-6end scorching along with the
evident idea that the eyes of an
enyious public are on his splendid per-
formance.
For the protection of pedestrians,
especially children, and is decent
wheelmen, the scorcher should be kept
off the streets. If the present or
dinance is inadequate, make better
one, for they do this in other cities,
and there is crying need for something
of that sort here.

e. o. Supreme Court July 81.

Clerk Lee Moorhouse, of the Oregon
supreme court, Pendleton, received
word Wednesday morning from Chief
Justice Frank A. Moore that the su-
preme court justices will De in Pendle-
ton on Saturday, July 81, to hand down
decisions in cases argued and submitted
at the May term in Pendleton. 1t had
been expected that the court would
not be ready to hand down decisions
in the cases heard in Pendleton before
Aug. 10, and, perhaps, mot before Sept.
1. But the court has hastened in the
matter, and rapidly as possible con-
sistent with thorough work, has COM
pleted the arduous work. Even now,
the handing down of decisions will be
considerably later than in previous
years.

The Shakers have made discovery
which is destined to accomplish much
good. Realizing that three-fourth of all
our sufferings arise from stomach trou-
bles, that the country is literally filed
with people who cannot eat and digest
food, without subsequently, suffering
pain and distress, and that many are
starving, wasting to mere skeletons, be-
cause their food does them no good, they
have devoted much study and thought
to the subject, and the result is this
discovery of their Digestive Cordial.
A little book can be obtained from
