Oldest Coin in the World.

An archaeological find of the
greatest interest has just been
made by Pastor Lohmann, chair
man Of the German Society for
Scientific Research in Anatolia.
During his recent journey in north
Syria coin of pure silver, excel
lently preserved, was offered to
him, which. on examination,
proved to bear a perfect Arame-
an inscription OF panammu Bar
Rarub. king of Schamol. who
reigned 500 years before Christ.
1t is the oldest known coin in the
world. Tpto the present the Lyd
ians have always been regarded
as the inventors of money!, but
this new find shows that the Sc
mite Arameans, who lived two
centuries before the Lydians, are
the oldest coiners of money.

To let loose the dogs of war is
to be a yeritable military maneu-
yer, for dogs are now being
trained by the German army to do
actual battle. The bicycle is re-
sponsible for this. Since its intro
duction into the armies of Europe
German officers have been consid-
ering the best methods of combat
ing it. and the result has been a
decision to train dogs to drag BIZ
cycle riders from their wheels.
The Great Dane has been select
ed for the purpose, as his size and
strength make him a powerful
and effective antagonist. At Ber
lin there are now a thousand OF
these great dogs in training.
Every day for the last three
months they have been taken to
the parade ground and been given
a lesson in distinguishing the Ger.
man and Austrian uniforms from
the French, Italian and Russian.
for it is necessary that they
should discriminate between
friend and foe. Then they are
taught to rush upon a bicycle
mounted enemy and dismount
him.
When it is remembered that
nearly all of the armies of Europe
have adopted the bicycle the ne
cessity of the bes methodto lessen
their effectiveness can be appre-
ciated, and the German officers be-
lieye they have discovered the
the method.
The dogs are taken to the field
of operation where the cyclists
are urged to attack the riders, who
are padded against harm. After
this lesson is learned they are
turned loose upon soldiers wear
ing various uniforms, and when
they attack German or Austrian
they are whipped, but when they
attack others they are rewarded.

Some Lately Plowed Up In Kansas
Field Relics OF the Early
SpaniarGs.

While blowing in his field near
Eufaula recently Mr.. Charles Glib
son uncovered a large number Of
weapons, some of which were
rifles of an old style, some blum
derbusscs, a few old time pistols
and a couple of swords. All these
weapons, says the Kansas City
Journal, are in a fair state of pres
eryation, and are apparently of
Spanish make.
According to Creek tradi-
ton. a party OF adventurous Span
iards, numbering 81. in the year
1864, LEFT New Orleans on burros
and went to the territory in
search OF gold. They secured all
the precious metal they could
carry, and on their way back they
were beset by band of Shawnees
near Standing Rock, eight miles
east of Eufaula, and a great bat
tie followed. The Spaniards, with
the exception of two, who escaped
on a raft, were annihilated.
1t is supposed that the weapons
plowed up on Mr.. Gibson's place
are the ones that were used By
the Spaniards mentioned above.

Oregon apples attracted favorable
attention at the st. Louis Exposition at
its opening, and were mentioned with
commendation in articles published in a
number of the leading horticultural
papers Of the country. The competition
is fierce in the matter of fruit displays
and II Oregon is to continue getting
favorable mentions for its fruit, every
fruit grower who has something extra
choice will have to do his share towards
keeping 0regon's display up to a very
high standard.

OF I firm shows a rapid increase each
month. We do strictly cash business,
and in that way no one is compelled to
stand for the bills OF poor-pay custo.
mers, as all credit houses are forced to
contend with. 1t also does away with
all the expense OF bookkeepinh. All
business men must make certain

stands to reason that the store selling
good at the least possible expense can
naturally maintain the lowest prices" :"

are to give Mardi Gras and Festival
in the city OF Portland, commencing ON
the morning Of June 2S, and continuing
until the evening OF July .. This car

pared for that occasion. These officials
viii be met at the wharf, welcomed to
the city, and escorted to the grounds
by u parade unique in every character.
Upon arriving ut the grounds the coro-
nation ceremonies will be conducted
with great pomp and dignity.
The second great parade will take
place Saturday evening, July 2, and

tlsed Mard Gras, electrical, spectacular
parade, the first of its kind ever pro-
duced in the West Thousands of

illustrating the historical events of the

l0:30 in the evening, and will pass
through the principal streets of the city.
The third aud perhaps largest parade
ever witnessed in the West will occur
>n the 4th OF July, and there will be not
less than S0,000 men in line, together
with patriotic and industrial floats in
the procession, Ten bands will dis
course inspiring music for the occasion.
On the evening Of the 4th of July there
will be the greatest display of fireworks
ever arranged for an occasion of this
kind in the West.

Miss FoMIer Takos Firsi Inre.

Miss Leila Fowler Of Wasco was mar.
ried Wednesday evening, May Is, in
Sedalia, Mo, to Charles Il. Lamm Of
Smithton, Mo. Mrs. Lamm is a sister
Of Miss Correan Fowler Of Hood River,
and the daughter of w. X. Fowler OF
Wasco.
There is pretty little romance con
nected with this marriage. 1t seems
that Mrs, Famm had promised to be the
bride of handsome young man here
in Oregon, but while on a visit to her
former home in Missouri, she met an
old schoolmate; the old attachment was
renewed and wedding took place,
much to the surprise of her friends in
Oregon.
The Sedalia- Dem ,crNt in an extended
account OF the marriage snvs
miss Fowler has been making an
extended visit at the nome nf her uncle,
Joseph A. Starr, and lad arranged to
return to her home in Oregon, after a
visit to the worlds fair. Mr. Lamm,
however, upset her plans regarding her
return to the Pacific coast by claiming
her as his bride.
THE marriage was most happy one,
and the Democrat joins their many
friends in extending congratulations.
"On June they will beiat home to
their friends at their residence in
Smithton."

Berries for the Veterans.

The following interview with Captain
j. L. Shaw appeared in the Portland
Evening Telegram, Thursday, June q.
That the annual encampment Of the
Grand Armyof the Republic, which will
be held at Hood River June l5, l6 and II,
will be the most successful and enjoy
able in the history OF the organization
in this state is the opinion OF Captain j.
?. Shaw, chairman OF the committee in
charge Of arrangements for the event,
Preparations for the gathering are near
ly completed, and so far as has been
agreed, the program will include a
banquet of Hood River strawberries,
which will be rendered the veterans on
Thursday evening, June is,
VI believe those Strawberries will be q
great indueement to all the boys to come
to the encampment, said Captain Shaw
yesterday. ~ believe that between 400
and b00 Grand Army men will come to
Hood River, where the warmest welcome
will be extended to them by their COM
rades and by the citizens. They will have
a splendid outing, for the encampment
will be held in the midst of the straw
berry-picking season, and they can help
themselves to all the berries they want.
"We have secured loan of tents from
the state and will put them up in the
heart OF grove Of oaks at Hood River.
We have made arrangements for build
ing circular pavilion, where the exer-
cises will be held and which will be
large enough to accommodate all who
come. We expect great many to be
present besides the veterans, for hun
dreds will come up 10 see the strawberry
harvest This is sight we'll worth see
ing, for II is not every day that one can
see 1000 pickers at work in berry fields.n
As some Grand Army meu may want
information about accommodations Cap
tain Shaw suggests that they address
him at his office, 237 Washington street,
or I. J, Cunning, secretary OF the com
mittee, at Hood River.
