per in the county, and our paper is
going up to par. Lawyers are retiring
in disgust at the prevailing peace
and doctors complain of a chronic
state of health. And we know more
now than we did before November.
Wonderful how fast we learn! We
know who will be the next president,
and we know better which side Cali
fornia is to be on now. Again we look
at the sugar in the our glass; and say
be thankful!
Memory rushes past the old year
and turns down the corridors of time.
We see plains, sagebrush and alkali
Beyond lonely white-haired man,
standing, like a milestone, on the
road to eternity. Beyond him still, a
buxom lass, with face as red as a Web
foot apple, a waterfall, sweet pug
nose, and ankles like-oh, krickey!
We must quit or give up the ghost
And still beyond, school, birch, mud
pies, humble peg and stolen apples;
while far back, dim in the distance,
measles, mumps, catnip tea and pare
goric are blended in indistinctness,
while sitting on our mothers knee
and merry memory refuses to go far
ther Again we shake the sugar.
"Let Us Be Thankful, Let Us Be Just"
Let us again be thankful. Let us
be just. Let us not put wiggle- tails
in our milk, nor dogs claws in our
sausage; let us tell the truth when we
can't help 1t, and not drink dogs
gnats in our lager, so that when the
hand that writes this is still and the
eyes that read this are glazed and
looking up at the grass roots on yon-
der hill, we may have our happy New
Year in the Better Land, where all
together we will smile on the troubles
of today, as we do now over those of
the days ere gold had an attraction
and birch had lost its terrors.
"The cock from his lofty roost calls
midnight and 1868 is but date in
history. The merchant will write '6S
for time when in a study; and ye
miner will so date his epistles to his
Florence Matilda, and she will read
and wonder on what day New Years
comes at Canyon.
Welcome New Year. Very tender
ly do we greet you, as a new born
babe that comes to us an immigrant
across the great plains of eternity.
Very tenderly do we greet you, and
ask that you give us hope in our
hearts. love on our lips, sugar in our
coffee, and spondulicks in our

-Four prisoners escaped from the
city Jail last night by digging a hole
through the concrete floor and tun-
neling four feet through the earth.
A sharp stick of stove wood was the
only implement the men employed in
digging the hole, and the diameter of
the tunnel is barely IS inches. Three
of the men are still at liberty. Jack
Brown, serving a sentence of 10 days
for drunkenness, was recaptured this
morning. He stated that 1t required
three hours to dig out.
The men still at liberty are: A. L.
King, charged with attempted burg
larry, and George Kirkwood and r.
Miller, serving sentences for vagran-
cy The last two named were arrest
ed Saturday morning on a charge of
robbing Jack Dillon of La Grande,
but the charge was dismissed and they
pleaded guilty to vagrancy King was
arrested Friday night just after he
had broken out the sash in the door
of Jethro Hardwicks pawn store. All
three of the escaped prisoners are
strangers in Pendleton.
The break last night is the fourth
time prisoners have escaped from the

an Invitation to a Meeting on Janu-
ary % I'm Portland.

County Assessor C. P. Strain has
received an invitation from Assessor
James H. Morton, of Union county,
to attend a meeting of the assessors
of the state to be held in Portland,
on January 23, for the purpose of
discussing the methods of placing
values on different kinds of property,
methods of assessment, census taking
and other features of the work of the
assessors offices.
The circular states that 81 assess
ors of the state have responded to
the call, in favorable terms and a
large attendance is expected. Mr..
Strain is not yet certain whether he
will be able to attend or not, owing
to the preparations for the spring as
sessment and census taking that will
be in progress at that time.
He is heartily in favor of concerted
action on the part of the assessors of
the state, in fixing values of property
and arriving at some uniformity in
methods of assessment, and if possi-
BILE will attend the meeting.

PeO Not Lnmented.

The Umatilla Indians do not ex-
press any regret that Chief Peo has
been taken to an asylum in South
Dakota, but rather feel that it is a
sort Of retribution for the old man,
that he is sent away from home to
be confined in bad medicine house" "
Most of them express the sentiment
that Peo is to blame for his own mis-
fortune in drinking whiskey, while
a few of them blame the whites for
allowing him to get the liquor. They
all agree that this is the last of Peo.
and many of them say it is best for
everybody that he is gone.

New Haven T'heater.

The Fays will bewilder and amaze
thousands of our citizens at the New
Haven theater, where they play a re-
turn engagement of three nights COM.
mencing tonight. 1t was with great
difficulty that Mr. Bunnell was able to
secure the Fays for these dates, but
after mitch worry and labor the end
was accomplished and the Fays are
with us once more and undoubtedly
they will create as much OF a sensa-
ton as upon their last visit. This will
positively be the last appearance of
these wonderful people in this city this
season as their other bookings make a
return impossible.
For many years the Fays have been
before the public and every hour of
their lives they have become more and
more pronounced as mystifiers.
While the work Of the Fays Is mys-
tifying and marvellous, they are per-
fectIy frank, and state that while their
experiments in "Thaumaturgy'' or men,
tai telepathy, which has made them to
be the talk of the hour. are bewilder-
ing and weird, they are the result of
natural laws and nothing more The
Fays are certainly the most interesting
and picturesque characters before the
public. Whatever may be said by carp
ing critics and "know-it -alls'' the fact
remains that they are unquestionably
the best known and most popular ex-
ponents of their peculiar line in the
world to-day. ...H
The Favs are assisted by a clever
company Of entertainers including the
Scottish trio. John r, Fay, who will
introduce Crises, midair deviation done

A lady living in Illinois writes about

'.The best way to advise you in>little
Bessie's case is, I feel, to tell you what

like your daughter, very fond of white

the every day table. His appetite
seemed good and he ate freely, but, like
little Bessie, he didn't seem to get the
proper amount of nourishment out Of

Many women long for child to bless

Many women long for child to bless
their homes, but because of some de-
bility or displacement of the female
organs they are barren.
Preparation for healthy maternity is
accomplished by Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound more successfully
than by any other medicine, because it
gives tone and strength to the entire
female organism, curing all displace-
ments, liberation and Inflammation.
A woman who is in good physical
condition transmits to her children the
blessings of good constitution. Is
not that an incentive to prepare for a
healthy maternity?
If expectant mothers would fortify
themselves with Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, which for thirty
years has sustained thousands of
women in this condition, there would
be great decrease in miscarriages, in
suffering, and in disappointments at
birth. ..,.
The following letters to Mrs. Pink

such cases.
