served at the fair, and an excursion

agent, are now here attending the De-
velopment League and Good Roads

land on June 6. Should such an ex-
cursion be run, it will leave here in
the morning and arrive in Portland
in the afternoon, thus making a day
light run. 1t is announced that a
one way fare will be charged
So far there has been little consid-
Grafton given the matter of Pendle-
ton day by the citizens of this place,
and it was only yesterday that Mayor
Matlock received official notification
of the date given this city. In the
letter of notification the city is asked
to make arrangements for an observ-
ance of its day. A hostess for the
occasion and also speaker were sug-
gested. What will be Pendleton's an
swer to the invitation to make June
its day? Shall the occasion be met
and a special train run from here to
Portland upon June 6, and the visit
ors at the fair given a specimen of
Umatilla hospitality on June Z? or
shall the city respond with regrets and
not attend the fair in a body?
Walla Walla has been given June

now being made by the Garden City

of Pendleton in this matter?

HEALTHY PLANTS
Require the Most Careful Attention n
Well as Good Soil.

Did you ever see a rosebush which,
despite the most benefceht environment
Of soil-of sunshine-and of atmosphere,
seemed never to achieve healthy
growth.
A ton OF manure will not help a plant
that has canker eating out its heart.
You must destroy the cause before you
can remove the effect.
You cannot cure Dandruff and Bald
ness by rubbing on hair lotions and
rubbing in vaseline, etc.
You must look to the cause Of the
trouble-its a germ at the roots of
your hair which causes 1t to fall out.
Newbro's Herpicide destroys the germ,
and healthy hair is the sure result.

artillery, was killed during target prac
tce at Fort Riley yesterday. PriYates

six making up the provisional regiment
Of field artillery at target practice. The
battery's guns had been placed and its
eight limbers, loaded with ammunition,
were at the rear with six horses hitched
to each timber. The drivers had dis
mounted. When the battery was ready
for firing large red flag was run up
on staff rs a signal to the range party
at the targets to get out of range Of
the guns.

faces OF the horses, and they stampeded
at once. Some drivers succeeded in get
ting into saddle, others were dragged,
but most of the drivers were left be-
hind. The horses dashed over small
cliff and went down in mass with

Early Today
AGED NEARLY 81 YEARS
Sarah Prentiss Ayers, Mother of Mrs.
w. A. Perry. Was Hale and Hearty

Contracted a Cold.


Mrs. Sarah Prentiss Ayers, the old
est resident Of Barre, died very suddenly
at three O'Clock this morning at the

i'll.
A week ago she sat out ON the piazza

cold, but ii was not severe and she was
SO we'll last Tuesday that Mr. and Mrs.
Perry went to Boston. They We're noti-
fed Thursday evening that Mrs Ayers

yesterday. Mrs. Ayers knew her daugh-
ter when she arrived home, but lapsed
into unconsciousness soonafterward, from

thought probable that slight shock was

ing she lost the power of her limbs for a
short time SO that she had to be helped
into bed. But there apparently was a
recovery from this, although it probably
left her heart weak.
Mrs. Ayers was born at Acworth, n.
H, 90 years ago last February. Her
parents removed to Plainfeld, VT, 81
years ago and there she was married to
Mr.. Ayers. They came to Barre II years

ing (recently burned) just north nj
Fred Kings's jewelry store which was
later used by O. III. Hale as an auction
room for a LONG time.
Eight years after coming to Barre,
Mr.. Ayers died and his wife and two
daughters removed shortly after his
death TO the Alvin Drury place on what
ia now Prospect street, the house being
the brick building near Page Brothers
stable. The daughters married, and
seventeen years ago Mrs. Ayers went to
live with Mrs. Perry, her younger daugh-
ter. The other daughter, Mrs. Lncina
Dudfee, died three years ago. Mrs, Ayers
has always been very hale and hearty
and her death comes az a great shock.
