AWFUL STORM HITS PENDLEToN
Ruins Wheat in Fields and Shakes
Homes in Town.


Pendleton, Ore, July A terrific
wind and rain storm swept over this
section Sunday afternoon, doing very
heavy damage to the wheat crop and
to city property. The weather observer
reports two inches of rain. The Ore
gon Railroad & Navigation company's
tracks were washed out and the trains
are held here. Cellars were flooded
and the streets and yards were ruined.
No loss of life has yet been reported.
The estimated damage to city property
alone is $4,000.
Much of the immense wheat crop of
Umatilla county is totally ruined, and
thousands of dollars damage was done
to city property.
The damage to the wheat crop is
hard to estimate, as the extent OF the
path of the storm is unknown.
Had the storm approached the city
from below instead of above, there
would probably have been another
Heppner disaster.

FOX FARM A FAILURE.
Animals Escaped from Island to Maine
Woods Over Ice.

Animals Escaped from Island to Maine
Woods Over Ice.
A man named Skillings, Of Bangor,
recently started new industry on all
island off the coast between Machias
and Jonesport, Me-, says the Portland
Express. This was fox-raising. He
believed that there was money to be
made in raising foxes for their hides,
and so leased what is known as Triton
Island, some distance off the coast.
Having secured the island, he went
west and bought about sixty Of the
finest furred and most hardy foxes he
could find, paying for some of them
as high as $500 apiece. These he placed
on the island last fall and started his
fox farm with every prospect that his
novel plan would be success.
Of course, the island being some dis
lance from the land, it was impossible
for the foxes to get off and SO fences
were not necessary. This winter came
with it's cold weather and gradually
the water between Triton Island and
the mainland closed slowly in until
finally the wide passage was covered
with thick ice which could support a
manor a team, for that matter.
All this had been going on so quietly
that Mr.. Skillings had quite failed to
think of what this rapidly forming ice
might mean to his new industry, and
one morning he awoke to find that
every fox he owned had escaped from
the island to the mainland and had
taken to the heavy growth Of timber
which covers much Of this section Of
the coast. Mr.. Skillings instituted
searches and secured the surrounding
country, but he has not succeeded in
recovering one Of the enimals. The
sixty foxes, many of which were ex-
tremely valuable, aggregated an
amount Of many thousands Of dollars
and the loss gives every indication Of
being a total one.

lH MEMORY OF A CHILD.
Florence Crittenton Homes Concrete
Expression OF q Fathers Love.

Florence Crittenton Homes Concrete
Expression OF Fathers Love.
Because he so loved his daughter,
who died at the age of 6 years long
ago, Charles N. Crittenton, who has
been holding evangelistic services In
Chicago, has given Fl years constant
work and fortune Of more than ST.
100000 to the furthering of great
work In his child's name.
The name Florence Crittenton 10
known in every city in America and In
many foreign lands. 1t hangs above
the dcorways Of 63 homes in American
cities that hold out welcome to way
ward girls and miserable women, and
has given stability to a movement
which has resulted in the reclamation
Of tens of thousands of these unfortu-
mates.
Back Of the story of his constant,
earnest work and his self sacrifice is
tho story Of the building Of his for
.une. The Crittenton millions are tho
result Of the logged determination OF
green country boy who from his
earliest childhood had an ambition to
be rich.
When his daughter, Florence, was
born, in 1877, Charles Crittenton was
wealthy man.
In October, 1882, the illness Of Flor
ence Crittenton took this man away
from his building for the first
time since he entered New York as
drug clerk. That illness was destined
to take him away for all time, for
within q few days the child died.
The day after the burial Of the
daughter Charles N. Crittenton took
an oath to do some worldwide work
In his dead child's name. In April,
1883, the first Florence Crittonton
Home was established. The object Of
the new movement was the reclama-
ton Of unfortunate women.
Beautiful as was the sentiment back
Of this movement, it was not enough
to fill the home with refugees. Some
one had to go out into the haunts Of
vice and reclaim the unfortunates. He
did not delegate this work to others.
He went, taking with him such few
persons as he could interest in the
movement. That was the beginning
OF his long career, as an evangelist who
appeals to the people Of the slums,
which be has kept up ever since

We rise to make plain talk on a
theme that is big in the thought of the
girl. The theme is man and the choice
of life mate for a maid The dear
young thing will bear in mind that a
freak hat" foul pipe, tan shoes
shaped like grown hams and a pair Of
fierce socks do not, Of need, go to make
up the best sort Of man to tie to. The
scarf and the vest, their check, tint Or
noise do not take place in the worth
Of the brute who must soon or late
serve the soft sex. 1t is to say, then,
that the buds make the dude, but dO
not make the real man. The girl who
thinks a dude is all right is not the
girl we wish to talk to on this line.
For those who like that sort the dude
IS all right. The maid who seeks, as
is right, real Joy in life with a man;
the maid who has the heart to make 4
home a place of bliss, will pass by the
one who thinks of dress and shine and
style more than he thinks Of the
worlds call on mind or heart. A good
man to tie to is the man who thinks
first of all of his job and Of his stand
in the town. The staid, safe, true,
plain, square, white-browed, clear
eyed, pure-lipped young man is the boy
to place bets on in the home game Or
in such game as one may choose.

Thought She Couldn't Live,

Moravia, N. Y, June 6.-Mr. Benja-

losing his wife, and now that she is
cured and restored to good health his
gratitude knows no bounds. He says.
MY wife has suffered everything
with Sugar Diabetes. She has been
sick four years. She doctored with
two good doctors, but kept growing
worse. The doctors said she could not
live. she failed from 200 pounds
down to 100 pounds. This was her
weight when she began to use Dodd's
Kidney Pills, and now she weighs 100,
Is well and feeling stronger every day.
"She used to have Rheumatism so
bad that it would raise great bumps
all over her body, and this is all gone,
too.
"Dodd's Kidney Pills are God-scnd
to those who suffer as my wife did.
They are all that saved her. We can't
praise them enough"
