VIM. Kirmse, a member of
the bridge gang working near
Littleport was taken suddenly
i'll Thursday night with cramps
and a kind of cholera. His case
was so severe that he had to
have the members of the crew

told them he had a medicine in
the form Of Chamberlain's C Collie

out and accordingly several
doses were administered with
the result that the fellow was
able to be around next day.

ASA lie grow DEAD.
Pioneer cf Athena. Osras., Victim
Of Heart Disease,

Pendleton Oregonian, Aug. IL.
Asa LIE Grow, the we'll and
widely known sheepman and
pioneer, died last night at the
Portland Hotel, in Portland, Of
a heart trouble with which he
has been affected some time.
This ailment became so serious
two months ago that he was
compelled to abandon active
business and devote himself to
the care of his health solely.
Mr.. lie Grow was over 70
years old at the time of his
death, and had been a resident
Of Oregon and of California
since 1S49, crossing the plains
S. years ago. He came to
Umatilla county in 1870, re-
siding on a farm near Athena
until 1879, when he moved to
Walla Walla, where he resided
the remainder of his life until
his last illness.
Mr.. lie Grows wife died
about IL years ago. Their sur
viving children are Mrs. Robert
Walsh, whose husband is a cap
tain in the ninth United States
cavalry; Mrs. Wynne, whose
husband is a major in the
United States army, and is at
present stationed in the Philip
pines; Fay LIE Grow, who is
cashier of the First National
Bank at Athena. Mrs. LIE Grow
was a sister of Samuel Sturgis,
deceased, formerly of this
place.
Mr.. LIE Grow was engaged in
the sheep busines principally
during all the years of his res
idence in Oregon, and accumu.
lated a large fortune. He was
public spirited and widely
known.
The funeral will be held to-
morrow at Walla Walla, and
the interment will be made in
the Walla Walla cemetery, be.
side the body of his wife.

iowa Fruit

Iowa is fast coming to the
front as a fruit growing State.
This year the country abounds
in apples, peaches, plums, and
all kinds of small fruit, and now
we can add to the list that of
figs. Some few years ago M.
Frank Fernando, of Sprigfeld,
ILL.,, sent Mrs. M. Norton, of this
city, for planting, a fig sprout,
which Mrs. Norton planted and
tenderly cared for, and today
as proof of the possibilities of
fig raising in Iowa, Mrs. Norton
presented us a jar of large, fine
and perfectly matured figs of
her own raising in this city.
We can't say the fruit is the.
largest, nor to what size it will
grow, but they are large and
perfect and look very good.
Mrs. Norton will please ac-
cept our thanks for the fruit.
