The Mormon PettIcont.

Undoubtedly the very highest point
Of extravaganza has been reached in
petticoat-making by trimming, those
of silk having lace and chiffon flounces,
with narrow bands OF fur. But while
extravaganza rushes to one extreme,
solid common sense has brought us
new and excellent moreen for under
skirt fabrication that is as thick and
soft as satin and is charmingly decora-
ted in all the best plaid combinations.
For walking its advantages are mani
fold, and, as it comes in double width, it
can be cut on the new pattern. That is,
with but two seams, running down
either hip. The shape of this skirt de-
mands that it be cut crosswise Of the
material, and because of its peculiar
shape it fits as snug as yoke about the
hips, but flares comfortably and grace
fully at the foot. Such a moreen skirt
stands the hardest wear and is trimmed
usually with flounces of its own goods
or plaid silk,-Chicago Tlmes-Herald.

Pork Dangeroun--YenI Un,yhoIcnnm

Pork is the source OF trlchinu; for
this reason 1t should be cooked thor
oughly. Hogs are almost always fat
tened so as to be actually diseased be-

common source of tuberculosis; it is
also generally believed that pork-eating
is a common source of scrofula. GER
tainly know that persons who indulge
freely in pork have very unhealthy,
rough and easily irritated skins. Veal
equally indigestible with pork may
not contain the dangerous germs Of the

and difficult Of digestion. Unless 1t be

: THE ART OF NURSING.
4 London Professional Who Does Ne
Believe in a "Born" Nurse.

| 4 London Professional Who Does Not
Believe in a "Born" Nurse.
A woman who is a trained nurse, oc.
cupying, after years of practice, su-
perior place in a London hospital, has
been giving a course of lectures on her
profession. Her first proposition at q
recent talk was that thare is no such
thing as born nurse; the habit of OBJ
servation was duty and the basis of
nursing, which was an art only learned
by practice.
Among some practical utterances Of
the speaker were: "a sunny sickroom,
one that was entered by the sun once in
"a hours, is desirable; patients placed
on the south side in hospital ward re-
cover sooner, by ten days to fort.
night, than those on the north side.
Plenty of light is beneficial, except in
cases of brain disease. The less furni-
ture in the room the better, and to keep
it clean damp duster should be used
instead of dry one. The air must be
kept as pure inside as outside, and there
was little or no risk about having the
window open, top and bottom, if the pa
tient were we'll covered, head included,
and good fire kept burning. Night
air is not injurious; it is purer in city
after ten p. m. than at any other time.
The bed should never be in corner, but
accessible from all points. In fever and
surgical cases, cradle had sometimes
to be used to keep off the weight of the
bedclothes; an impromptu cradle
could be made out of a bandbox, with
the bottom knocked out Bedmaking
was the grammar and keystone of nurs-
ing; many regular nurses could not
make I good bed. It was important to
lct with decision when the time came for
any Office, and not to worry the patient
by hesitation or talking of what was to
be done; to tread quietly, but firmly;
not on tiptoe, and never to whisper to
> third person. Every effort ought to
be m1de to secure for the patient two
hours sleep before midnight. ANA
teur nurses often broke down through |
to take food when keeping |

COMPANY G LEAVES.
A Thousand People Turn Out Many Pa
thetic Partings--Will Go in Camp
at Invington Park.

| This morning at o'clock company
G assem- bled at the armory, and after
a short drill marched to the depot, and
were in readiness when the 6:55 train
arrived. There was an immense crowd
of men, women and children at the de.
pot to bid farewell to the boys in blue.
A conservative estimate of the mum.
ber of people who turned out to wit
ness the leaving is at least thousand.
Father, mother, sisters, brothers,
sweethearts and friends were there,
and to say the least, in some instances
there were some very pathetic partings.
There were ifty-eight members of
the company left in the private coach,
and will go in camp today at Irvington
park, near Portland.
When the train pulled out, the
cheers were deafening, and whistles
were blown and everything done to
give company G good send off, and
make them feel that their service was
appreciated.
AS a parting, we will add the senti-
ment of the country, Remember the
Maine" We wish our boys much sue
cess, should they be called upon for
field service. and safe return to their
homes, and we assure them our
thoughts and prayers will be with
them.

JUDGMENT IN BOTH CASES.
seufert Bros to Get $4,000 and L. II. Taffe
$1,000.

In the United States circuit court
this morning Judge Bellinger allowed
the U. S. district attorney to take
judgment on the verdict in the case oi
the United States vs.. Seufert Bros.
The verdict of the jury upon the third
trial of the case was $4,000, and as a
motion for fourth trial was denied,
there was nothing left for the defend
ants but to accept the award or appeal
to the United States circuit court of
appeals. 1t is hardly probable that
the case will be carried to higher
court. In this case the question in
VOWED is the assessment of value of a
strip of land owned by the defendants
at The Dalles, which the government
desires for the purpose of a boat rail-
way.
In the case of the United States va.
l. q. Taffe, a similar action, only in
volving the price of strip of land at
Cello, judgment was this morning
given the government upon the find
ings of the court. The court found
that the defendant was entitled to
81 900, and as this is final, the defend
ant having entered into stipulation
to this effect, there is no further ap-
peal from this jude Telegram.

DENIED A NEW TRIAL.
Judge Beilinger Refuses Seufert Bros.
Another Trial.

Another Trial.
In the case of the United States vs.
Seufert Bros, which is really a con
solidation of two cases ia the nature
of proceedings condemnatory for the
right of way through the premises oi
the defendants above The Dalles, for
the purposes of boat railway, Judge
Bellinger has denied the motion for a
new trial.
There have been three trials of the
issues involved in this case. The de
PENDANTS claimed damages in the sum
of $152, 200. The jury that sat upon
the first case awarded damages in the
sum of $95, 5,047.50. This verdict was
rendered July 10, 1896. The second
jury. which returned its verdict De-
cember 9, 1896. returned a verdict in
the sum of S35 1000, and the third jury,
which returned it's verdict February
l, of this year, awarded damages in
the sum of $4,000.
From the verdict of the last jury the
defendants appealed, asking for new
trial, upon the ground of insuniciency
of damages. The motion was argued
at great length and submitted some
weeks ago.
The decision of the court, denying
the motion, necessitates the fling of
an application for an appeal to the cir
cult court of appeals, unless the &C.
PENDANTS are willing to accept $4,000.

ous NATIONAL HOLIDAY.
A Celebration Would Be the Proper Thing
This Year.


This Year.
1t has been several years since The
Dalles has celebrated the nation 8
birthday with any demonstration ex-
cept the display of flags and discharge
of firecrackers. But the present year
is especially an appropriate one in
which the people may show their
patriotism and love of country. While
the nation is involved in war with a
foreign power is time when the
blood of the true patriot courses freely
through the veins, and when he would
give vent to his love of freedom and
country. 1t is time when the citizen
loves his country more than at any
other, and when he would especially
desire to celebrate the anniversary of
the day on which American Independ-
ence was proclaimed.
Then why should not The Dalles
celebrate our national holiday? Why
should not The Dalles have regular
old-fashioned Fourth of July celebra-
tion? The reading of the grand old
Declaration of independence, patriotic
speeches and songs, tog. ther with a
grand feast and general reunion of the
people of the surrounding country.
If we are to have a celebration, it is
none too early to begin making prep
arations, and we would suggest that
the Commercial Club, which is to take
the lead in everything of beneficial
nature to The Dalles and it's people,
take hold of the matter at once, and
go at it with determination to cele-
brate our national birthday as it was
never celebrated before.

Those who contend we could get on
without a language may add another
story to prove their point, says the

in many cases it is not the words used
but the manner of speaking which
makes the impression. Thus it was

ing her hypotheruse triangle. Some

an address to Louis NVI., which they
had forgot zen. Tecited the whole oil

well. Prof. Drummond tells us in his

fix, and got out OF it in similar way.
On one occasion four of his carriers
ran away. There We're three others OF
the same tribe in the company, and,
though the professor knew nothing of

physicians at the Maryland university
hospital recently. James I. mon was
the patient, and he was afflicted in g
most peculiar way. Tymon is employed
at the bakery of d. W. Lord, and is Il
years of age. While at work he acci
dentally fell upon his right arm. IL
felt an acute pain in the member as i!
it had been fractured. The pain was
intense, and finally Tymon's employ
ers sent him to the hospital, where he
was examined by the physicians il
charge. To their surprise they dis.
covered that instead of being broker
the bone of the forearm was bent so as
to form almost a circle, and was firm il
that position. 1t was something tha;
the physicians had not met with be
fore. 1t is supposed that the bone hat'
became softened in some way, either
through constitutional weakness or d
peculiar diet.
