the precedent for granting Of back pay
to all survivors of the early Indian wars
who can prove service by rolls that are
now on file in the department. The de-
partment finds that there are several
rolls in Oregon, which were prepared
by captains as souvenirs and for other
purposes. Persons whose, names are on
these rolls cannot be paid until the
original rolls are filed with the auditor
in Washington.
The action on the Lawley case makes
the claimant a qualified applicant for
pension. Lawley filed application for
pension some months ago, and his claim
was disallowed because he could not
show pay. Now that his pay has been
authorized, and his services are recog-
nized by the government, his pension
claim will go through. This decision is
Of great Importance in that it establishes
way by which Indian war veterans can
only recover back pay when they failed
to draw allowances heretofore, and also
places them in pensionable status.
A great many veterans are unable to
provo satisfactory service, and where
that proof is not obtainable, record OF
pay by the United states is necessary.
Therefore the importance to many Of
securing back pay, Once this is OBJ
tained practically the essential evidence
is az hand.

BUILDING HAS BEGUN
CONTRACTLET FOR CoNsTRCUT-
ING NEW CHURCH.
Cook q Barrett, Of Pendleton, Com
plete 1t for $10,592.75- Work
on Miller's Building.

Saturday the building committee Of
the M. e. church let the contract for
the construction of the new church
building on Third street to Cook 4
Barrett, contractors of Pendleton, for
$10,592.7b. Other bids we're received
but the Pendleton men succeeded in
securing the contract.
This includes the completion through.
out Of the church edifice with the ex-
ception Of the furniture and furnishings.
The cost Of building the church will be
close to $4,000, as the rock now on the
site for building the basement and the
excavation is in addition to contract
price Of S10,592.75, and has already
been paid for.
The church is to be erected wholly
! from brick and stone material, and will
be according to plans and specifications
as furnished by Architect Troutman.
The building win in no way be altered
from the plans first submitted to the
committee, although there was some
talk Of change in order to cut down
the cost. The committee later decided,
after consultation with the membership
Of the church, to go ahead with the
building on the lines as was first in
tended.

TURNED WOMAN LOOSE

Woman Who Admits Killing Husband

"Net Guilty" was the verdict render
ed by the jury in the De Lartigue muir
der case Wednesday afternoon after be-

whatever was manifested when the
verdict was read. The defendant show
no sign of emotion.
To the people the verdict is more than
a surprise ii is incomprehensible as
public sentiment was strong in the be-

The jury stood all night six for ac-

WELL THOUGHT OF
HEPPNER APPRECIATED ATHE-
MAS KIND ACTION.
Was the First Town in the State to
Call Celebration Of and Send
Funds for Relief

Athena's generous action toward
Heppner is greatly appreciated by that
grief-stricken town. Athena was the
first town in the state to declare her
! celebration off out of sympathy for
Heppner's sorrow-crushed people Her
fund, which was among the first to ar
rive in the hands Of the Heppner COM
mittee, speaks remarkably well for her
promptness when it is considered that
only few hours elapsed between the
time the mass meeting was held and
Mayor Taylor departed for Heppner
with the money,
| Athena has not stopped with her first
donation. In addition to strong and
willing hands Of several Athena men
( who brayely performed gruesome tasks
in recovering the dead, the fund has
been substantially added to during the
past week as follows:
Dolph Lodge A. f. IA. $100, 90
Christian Church. ..... 40 100
NJ. E. Church ..... 309
Mayor Taylor returned from Heppner
Saturday evening and was much aston
ished to find that his telegram, which
was posted on the bulletin board, and
later published in the Press, had been
wrongly worded by the operator at
Heppner. The sentence in question as
received here read: "They have got all
the money and men they need" What
the mayor wrote on the message and
what the operator should have sent was:
"They have got all they need except
] men and money"
!; Mr.. Taylor attributes the mistake not
| to the operator, but rather to his over
worked condition. Hundreds Of tele-
grams Of apriyate nature we're being sent
and received, in addition to page after
page of press matter, with the result that
operators became bewildered in their
nerve-racking labor. However, the mis-
take in no way deferred or interfered
with subsequent additions to the fund.
Scores of men and teams are still al
work in Heppner and along Willow
creek, clearing away the debris and re-
covering bodies. The town is being put
in fairly good sanitary condition, but
it will take large amount OF money yei
to relieve her pressing need. The
total number Of bodies recovered up to
last night is III.
A notable feature Of the donations
made is the fact that far-away Philadel
phia sent $1,000 and New York S2500

Trial was Commenced.

The preliminary examination Of H. M ].
st. Cyr, the former Pendleton man who
is charged with the murder OF Archie
Emmonds, at Laldo, Idaho, has been
completed for the time being. After the
evidence in the prosecution had been
taken the hearing was postponed until
July 90 to give the defense an oppor-
tunity to make any showing it may de-
sire. It is believed, however, the de-
fence will not introduce any evidence,
and the opinion is quite general that
the case is closed SO far as the prelimin-
airy hearing is concerned the formal
finding Of the committing magistrate
being the only action necessary to close
it. There is no doubt st. Cyr will be
held for trial An effort will be made
to get him admitted to bail.

Heppner Fund Grows. .

BY the abandoning Of the Portland
Fourth Of July celebration, the fund for
the relief Of Heppner sufferers will be
decreased by over $4,000, this amount to
be turned over to those in charge Of the
relief work. Having planned to hold
one OF the biggest celebrations ever held
in this state, the business men Of Port,
land subscribed literally toward the ex-
penses OF the affair. The expenses in
CURED amount to $3.50, but the remain-
der Of the 4th Of July fund, which will
amount to over $4,000, is to be turned
over. to the relief committee.

HAVE HAD THEIR DAY.
Old Fashioned Medicines FOR cstarrh
No Longer IN Vogue.

For many years past the usual
treatment for catarrh disease was with
local douches. sprays, inhaiers and
liquid medicines composed principally
of alcohol, all Of which never cured
but simply give the temporary relief
and stimulation
A thorough cure can be made only
by the treatment which removes the
catarrhal poisons from the blood
A new remedy which meets the re-
quirements and which so far has been
remarkably successful in curing ca
tarrh is stuart's Catar'h Tablets.
These tablets act ~ on the blood
and mucous membrane only
They can hardly be classed as a Sc
cret patent medicine as they are com
posed Of such valuable remedies as
blood root Hydrastin, red gum Of
Eucalyptus tree and similar antisep-
tics combined in tablet form, which
cure by eliminating from the blood
and mucous membrane the poisons Of
catarrh.
Stuart's CatarTh Tablets are large,
pleasant tasting lozenges to be taken
internally. allowing them to dissolve
in the mouth. thus reaching the throat,
trachea ana finally the stomach
If desired they may also be dissolv-
ed in water and used as a douche, in
addition to the internal use. but it is
not at all necessary TO use a douche;
a few OF them dissolved in the mouth
daily will be sufficient However,
when there is much stoppege of the
nose a donche made from these tablets
will give immediate relief, but the reg
ular daily use internally will cure the
whole catarrhal trouble without re.
sorting to the inconvenience of a
douche.
DR.. Bennett stated that the intern
al treatment of catarrh by means of
pleasant medicated tablets is rapidly
taking the place of douches and local
applications and further says that
probably the best and certainly the
safest remedy at present on the mar
ket is the Stuart's Catarrh Tablets. as
