Votes for Union Candidates Thrown
Out by Election Judges.
The official count of the election re-
turns has been completed and William
Blakeiey is elected sheriff over II. A.
Faxon by 80 majority.
1t transpires that many votes for the
union candidates were thrown out by
the election judges, which undoubtedly
should be counted. In marking the bal
lot the voters instead OF marking be-
tween the number and the name, placed
the X on the second line after the union
candidates number, the name Of the
candidate and the title Of the union tick
ct occupying two lines on the ticket,
while the name of the republican can
didates and title of the party only oc.
eupisd fone. In north Pendleton pre-.
cinct alone Il ballots, marked in this
way for the union candidates were
thrown out and not counted, says the
East Oregonian. With these ballots of
ell the precincts in the county counted
as undoubtedly they should be, it is
probable several more Of the union can
didatea will be found elected.

The Scale.

Mr.. @. A. Barrett il, 10 receipt of a
letter from the Oregon Agrical tural
College, regarding the scale which has
made its destructive appearance on
many OF the shade trees In this city.
Mr.. Barrett Is informed that the twigs
he sent to the college are infested. with
a scale insect OF the genus Lecanium.
The letter further states that it is rather
difficult to deal With these insects dur
ing the summer months, although ap.
plications Of kerosene emulsion will
kill a good many. The beet time to
attack them is in the fall, after the
leaves have fallen. Then thorough
application Of whole-oil soap, In the pre-.

A little cancellation is left for the
county unionists in the fact that William
NJ. Blakelsy is elected sheriff, in rpite of
diligeDt and futile figuring by the repub.
licans, J. W. Maloney, recorder. and A.
d. Stillman, representative. All three
are men who will unquestionably serve
the people well. A vote Of about ten to
one in his favor at Athena shows the
standing OF Mr. Msloney az home.
Weston also gave him good vote.

Fruits to Eat aud Those to Avoid.

Fruits as food are peaches, apricots,
nectarines ripe, mellow apples dates,
figs, fresh or dried; prunes without
skins; peraimmons, papaws; very ripe
or cooked bananas; guavas without
seeds--lresn or canned without sugar;
pineapples, grated or finely picked, never
cut; Mangoes, grapes; sweet plums
without skins, sugar cherries, and an
occasional cooked pear. Bartletts are
excellent when canned without sugar.
The fruits which must be used most
sparingly are lemons, oranges, shsd-
docks, curranss, Strawberries. cram
berries. This applies most emphatic
ally to those persons who are inclined
to uric acid conditions. The rheumatic
and gouty should also most rigidly alb
stain. The tender lining of the child's
stomach cannot certainly bear sgch fruits
any length Of time; serious results must
follow. The ripe mellow peach is really
the child's fruit.-Mrs. 5. T. Rorer in

on tha Death of W. Z. Ko.ntz.

Hark the Heavenly voices calling
To the faithful man OF God,
Come thy earthly work is ended,
Tread the path the saints have trod.
Many forms come forth to greet him
Telling Of his deeds OF love,
Joyfully they lead him onward
To the hosts redeemed above.
They recount how he did lead them
When on earth they strove to reach
The goal, the Savior set before them,
He, with christian love did teach.
Then the golden rule must follow
II eternal life they'd gain;
To be free from Elm and sorrow,
Must show love to God and man.
Many here will miss him sadly
But they'll rejoice at his release;
And through their tears will gladly
Say, tis we'll, he rests in peace.
