Umatllla, Dec. 1e.-Today is pay
day; the day of all days with the
railroad men.
The citizens of Umatilla and the
o. r. & N. Co. are talking of COM
bining efforts and doing something to
keep out the hoboes who are going
through here in large numbers. The
plan in view is to secure good man
clothed with proper authority to drive
these vags away.
The o. r. & N. officials gave a
banquet to several of their employees
in their private car, while they were
here Tuesday evening.
George C. Richards, an engineer
for several years on the U. p. railroad

break down and waste away cell by cell.
Bladder troubles almost always result
from arrangement of the kidneys and
a cure is obtained quickest by a proper
treatment of the kidneys. If You are feel
ing badly YOU can make 10 mistake by
taking Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Ro0t, the
great kidney, liver and bladder remedy,
1t corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, and over
comes that unpleasant necessity OF being
compelled to 90 often through the day,
and TO get up many times during the
night. The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized.
1t stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases.
Swamp Root is pleasant to take and Is
sold by all druggists in fifty-cent and
one-dollar size bottles. You may have q

covery and book that tells all about It

William E. Dargie Jr.
Passes Away at His
Oakland Home.

OAKLAND, Feb. 26. William E.
Dargie Jr., the only son of William f.
Dargie. proprietor of the Oakland
Tribune and one of the best known
editors in the State, died at his home,
on Lake Shore avenue, this morning
about 9 o'clock. While his death was
not unexpected, it came as a great
shock to his many friends and family.
The young man had been failing for
nearly a year; but, despite his weak
ness, there was always the lingering
hope that the winter might be survived
and that with spring would come re-
cOvery.
The passing Of the young man was
particularly sad, for he had only cele-
brated his twenty-first birthday ami
versary on December q last. and he
had just stepped over the threshold
into manhood.
The young man was born in Oakland
and was educated in the schools of this
city. He was a graduate of Miss Hor-
tons private school and of Boone's
Academy, in Berkeley, and was just
preparing TO enter the University of
California to complete his education
Wlci Q6dNH Cdlitu illill. III HIS SluuleS
he showed remarka BILE ability and won
the highest credits
In the interval between his graduation
from the Oakland private school and
his entrance into Boone's Academy he
was assistant secretary of the Califor-
MIA Paris Worlds Fair Commission.
Though a young man, scarcely more
than a boy, young Dargie showed rare
tact and ability. Already popular, he
made for himself many additional
friends among the visitors TO the ex-
position, TO whom he showed the great
est courtesy and kindness.
The death of the young man is a
great blow to his parents. who were de
voted to him, and to a large circle of
friends in all parts of the State.
The funeral probably will be held on
Monday.

JOHN MOYNAHAN is DEAD.
DiscOverer of Celebrities Passes AWAY
in Kansas CITY

KANSAS CITY. Mo, Feb. 26.-Colo-
mel John Moynahan, actor. manager
and discoverer of theatrical celebri-
ties, is dead. Moynahan originated
the idea of putting prize fighters on
the stage. With Pat Sheedy to back
the enterprises, he managed John l..
Sullivan when the latter was in his
prime. He discovered Mcintyre and
Heath, who are now making great
hits in vaudeville, when they were
stage hands and put them before au-
diences. He was the only man who
ever introduced prize fighter to the
President of the United States. Under
his guidance Sullivan met Grover
Cleveland and Mrs. Cleveland in the
Blue Room of the White House short
ly after the Presidents marriage.
Colonel Moynahan died at the City
Hospital after a brief illness of cry
sypelas. Many of his friends did not
even know that he was i'll. In Omaha
fifteen years ago he and his brother
Andy were political forces who al
most, if not entirely. ruled the town.
There it was that he met Bryan, then
in obscurity, and nominated him for
the first office to which the Nebraskan
was ever elected.

GOLFERS ROUTED
BY CAV VALRYMEN
Grassy Links at Preside
Are Ripped Up by Uncle
Sans Prancing Troopers
WILL SEEK NEW FIELDS
Club Members Hope to Find
Recreation Ground in Vi
cinity of Ingleside Track

There is sadness in the heart Of the
San Francisco golfer to-day. The links
so dear to his eye have been ruthlessly
trod upon by the iron-shod hoofs
of the steeds OF war Hazards have
been made there that all the steam
rolling machines in the country could
not efface.
The beautiful grounds on the Pre-
sidio Heights that have been such
source of joy and keen delight to the
golfer are now thing Of the past.
The ground is still there, but that
clean-cut, smooth sward of Kentucky
blue grass is now so full of deep laid
burrows and haphazard hazards that
the bunkers pale into insigniflcance be-
side them.
And all this has been occasiOned by
the prancing and caperings of Uncle
Sans sturdy warhorses. For some
time past it has been evident that the
grounds must be utilized for drilling
purposes, but the members of the golf
club hardly expected that the Govern
ment would take the initiative so soon
and order the annual inspection of the
held upon their sacred grounds.
They were greatly distressed last
night when they saw the condition the
links were in. Coach Robert Johnstone
stated that it would be utterly impos-
sble to play any kind of a game on
them in the condition they are in now,
and he added 1t would cost a lot of
money to put them in proper shape
again.
The value of the property on which
the clubhouse stands has greatly en-
hanced since it was purchased, and
this will in a measure compensate for
the loss on the outlay in fixing up the
links.
The club has in measure somewhat
prepared itself for such a contingency,
and it is rumored it has already made
negotiations for the Lake Merced
Tract of the Spring Valley Water
Works, near Ingleside.
