appalling disaster in the history of this
state occurred about q p. H., when the
town of Heppner was almost entirely

A messenger who arrived at Iona
states that wall of water twenty feet
hiGh rushed down into the gulch in
which Heppner is situated and carried
everything before it. The flood came
with such suddenness that the inhab-
itants were unable to seek places of
safety and were carried down to death
by the awful rush Of water. Almost the
entire residence portion of the town
was wiped out. but some of the bust
escaped. Huge boulders weighing Il ton
were carried down by the current and
many people killed by being dashed
against the rocky bluff.

Paine'SCelery
Compound
CURES RHEUMATISM.

Rheumatism, which does its terrible work
in the muscles, joints, and tissues, is caused by
uric acid which gathers in the blood. To get
rid of this poisonous acid which produces the
irritations, pains, agonies, inhammations, and
swellings peculiar to rheumatism, Paine's
Celery Compound should be used without
delay. No other medicine gives such prompt,
cheering, and happy results. 1t is the only
medicine that prevents a return OF the dreaded
disease. Paines Celery Compound braces
the nerves, the blood is quickly cleared OF all
irritating poisons, tissue and muscle are built
up, and the digestive organs perfectly toned.
Do not treat with indifference the slightest
rheumatic symptoms; the early use of Paine's
Celery Compound will save you weeks and
months of suffering Mr.. S. d. Conway,
St. Louis, Mo-, was permanently cured by
Paine's Celery Compound after repeated fall
ures with other medicines and physicians; he
says:-

spirators were all men of high rank,
who acted i'm concert with the army.
The participation of the latter i'm the
assassinations is mainly due 20 the
attitude of King Alexander and his
consort toward the officers of the army,
whom he always treated with scant
courtesy. His desire TO remove the
war school from Belgrade TO Shebatz
particularly gave the officers offense.
Reasons for A citing June 10.
Dissatisfaction against King Alex
ander'S rule has been active since
his suspension OF the constitution last
April, and ii is from that time that
the military plot dates. The cOnspira-
tors had decided on June 10 as the
date for the execution of the Ievoiu-
ton for two RESPONSIBILITY, il is the
anniversary OF the murder Of King
AleXander's grand uncle Michael. and
secondly, because it was feared that
further delay would permit the skupt-
selma to settle the succession to the
throne according TO the kings wishes.
and it was believed that the brother
of the hated queen would be his
choice.

SERVANT GIRL PROBLEM.

Wealthy residents of Brooklyn have
evolved a plan which will do away
with the annoyance occasioned by the
servant problem 1t is nothing more
than the establishment of a family club
house, at which the members may take
their meals, although there is to be an
arrangement by which the meals may
be served in the homes of the members
There is nothing new in the Brooklyn
plan. It has been tried a hundred times
in the past ten years, but has never
proved a success. The trouble about
the family club house idea seems to be
that it destroys the home seclusion.
The members will keep up interest for
few weeks or months at best. but
then they are pretty apt to conclude
that there is no place like home. even
If the wife does have to do the cooking
and the husband has to put up with a
cold supper occasionally because the
baby is sick.
The servant girl problem is a serious
one in the west as we'll as in the east.
There are hundreds of families in To-
peka who live in mortal terror that
something terrible will happen to de-
prive them of the services of 1.-The
girl And when the thing. which is
usually HldIlAilony, Goes occur Ehey are
in trouble until another young. woman
can be found who win condescend to
serve the family at so much per week
Still. in spite of all these drawbacks,
the family club idea can never be a
success in topeka or any where else
Nothing can take the place of the meal
eaten inside ones own dominions. and
even with the terrible servant girl
problem staring one in the face home

pleasantest man of all the force. He
drew men to him, the stranger joining
the ranks of his friends and the regard
of friends increasing as they came to
know him better. He would uneom-
plainingly suffer an injustice, and he

that in all the relations Of life. as cit1-
