A VALUABLE RELIC
HISTORIC MILLsT0NEs CARVED
By MARCUS WHITMAN.
Found In Colville River By the Sher.
iff Of Stevens County, After
a Long Search.

The historical museum of Whitman
college has been enriched with some
new and treasured material, relating
to the early history of the Northwest.
"For several years, said President
Penrose, referring to the matter, "Sen-
ator Ankeny has been endeavoring to
locate the original mill stones which
Doctor Whitman chiseled for the old
grist mill at the Whitman mission.
Friday, am glad to say, they arrived
in the city, having been discovered by
the sheriff of Stevens county in the
bed of the Colville river.
s'The stones were originally cut by
Doctor Whitman's own hands, from
granite uuarries on the Snake river,
now owned by Governor Miles G..
Moore. Subsequently they were set up
at Waillatpu where one of the first
grist mills on the Pacific coast was
built.
Following the Whitman massacre
and the burning of the mill, the
stones lay unused for many years.
Finally, however, they were moved
to old Fort Colville where they were
utilized in a mill. which at that time
was an industry on the river. They
were used there for long time, but
the mill at last fell into disuse, and
in it's dismantled condition they event
ually disappeared. It might be said
that they were seen there number
Of years ago, but seemingly at that
time no one gave them any attention.

Excelsior Temple, Rathbone Sisters
announces that on the evening of
April 28th, it will give reception to
the Weston Temple of Rathbone

ladies.
An elaborate program is in course
of preparation for entertainment of
the visitors. Music, recitations, etc. Z,
are included, and an elegant banquet
supper will be spread.
Since moving into the new hall the
members of the Temple have been
more than ordinarily enthused with
the work of the order, with the result
that more interest is being manifested
than ever before.
A notable increase in attendance at
the meetings has inspired the mem
bers to make renewed efforts in build
ing up the roll of membership from
the ranks of Knights of Pythias and
their wives
The new hall, with its oommodious
facilities affords splendid possibilities
for entertainment, and it may be
expected from now on lodge doings'
will be of frequent occurrence.

FATAL BLACK DEATH
ALL WHO CAN ARE FLEEING
FROM T0NOPAH CAMP.
Cruel Disease Attacks Victim In the
Morning; Funeral After Dark
on the Same Day.

dead wagons are working at
night through the back streets of the
camp in order that visitors may not
know the fearful results of the plague
that is depopulating Tonopah, New,
according to those who have just
returned from the great mining town.
Two hundred victims have succum-
bed to the plague which still holds
sway, says tho Portland journal.
''The plague is called black ty-
phoid," said G, w. Fellows. ''and is
playing havoc with the mining camp.
II began three or four weeks ago,
and estimate that 200 persons have
died since the plague began.
Every effort is made to prevent
conditions from becoming generally
known. OF course, it would hurt the
camp temporarily, but the public
should know of it, for large numbers
of people are flocking into Tonopah
constantly and many of them never
leave it.
"The hotel has long wagon with
dark covers that in the day time is
sent to the station. At night the
wagon is transformed into funeral
car. The blinds are drawn tight, and
the wagon goes through the back
streets for the dead. Night after
night have seen it driven from house
to house while men who accompanied
it called at the miners homes to see
if need for its service had occurred
during the day.
''The plague has claimed 10 or IL
people daily for the past three or
four weeks, and although it is known
by those who live there and is causing
a general exodus, the casual visitor
would never know conditions unless he
were told. He could 60 into the
camp, work during the day and sleep
during the night and unless he were a
very close observer he would never
know how fatal it was. OF course, he
would hear of great deal Of sickness,
but that would be all.
"a doctor told me that it was an
epidemic of black typhoid caused
probably by the impure water. The
disease is fatal in every case; no
stricken one to my knowledge recover
ed. Death results in IL or IA hours
after the disease seizes its victim.
"The suffering of those who are
stricken is frightful. One of the symp-
toms Of the disease is swelling up Of
the liver, which suddenly grows to
abnormal size as the disease progress
es. The patients grow black in face
and body, and are scarcely recogniz-
able short time after death. They
are not permitted to remain unburied
for longer period than few hours.
Such plaques usually strike mining
camps in their early days, but !
doubt if any has been as serious as
the one at Tonopah.
''The camp has absolutely no sani-
tary arrangements. OHal and debris
lie near the town and no health pre-
cautions are taken. The town is not
incorporated, and hence no one il
officially responsible for the condi-
tions.

Rigbys on the Trail.

Pendleton Tribune: In letter re-
ceived from Alberta by William
Rigby it was stated that considerable
difficulty was encountered in getting
the Rigby stock safely through to AL
berta, owing to rapid changes in eli
mate and the fact that the last forty
eight hours of the journey was made
without having a chance to feed or
water the stock. Four of the horses
died, among them one which Mr.. Rig
by valued most highly.

COLT SHOW In ATHENA

owners of stations will take interest
in the show to the extent of seeing to
it that large number of colts are en-
tered for the show. Should the ex-
hibition materialize, there will per-
haps be one of the largest showings of
stations ever brought together in the
county, as there are two large import
ing firms in the county-one at Pen
6leton and one at Milton.
Careful breeding has gone on for
many years now, and colts in Una
tilla county rank we'll among those
of the coast. Mr.. Norris. proposes
giving 1st, 2nd, and 3rd prizes to win
ming colts in both the light harness
and draft classes. As arrangements
are perfected they will be announced
in the Press and county papers.

MUST GIVE up HALF
OREGON MERCHANTS HAVE A
REMEDY TO COLLECT.
After May IS, One Half Of Debtors
Wages May Be-Taken BY
Their Creditors,

Oregon merchants will have good
remedy against many of their bad
debtors after May 18, when the act of
the last legislature regarding the ex-
emption of wages from execution will
go into effect This act amends the
law by making one-half the earnings
of the debtor subject to execution
proceedings if the debt be for family
expenses.
Prior to 1903 all the earnings Of a
debtor for thirty days next preceding
the service of an attachment, execu-
tion or garnishment were exempt If
the earnings were needed for the sup
port of family. Under that law
men with considerable monthly in
comes would escape the payments Of
their debts. The legislature of 1908
amended the law by limiting the
amount of earnings exempt to $75, but
leaving the law otherwise the same.
AS there are comparatively few men
working for wages who receive over
$40 month, this law still enables
men to avoid debts which they should
be compelled to pay, and the legisla-
ture of 1905 amended the section still
further by adding this clause Ex-
cept when the debt is incurred for
family expenses furnished within six
months of the date of the service of
such attachment, so per cent Of such
earnings shall be subject to such at
tachment, execution or garnishment. =
AS constructed by the courts, the
term '"family expenses includes such
items as provisions, fuel, rent, furni.
ture, wearing apparel, pianos, organs,
jewelry, medical attendance, etc.

There is a possibility that the pop

men, win again be inaugurated in

to a colt show being held here early
in June, and Charles Norris, who has
the matter in charge, believes every
thing favorable for successful show
ing of colts together with their sires

a faint unsteady laugh, then caught her
self up. How horrible," she said. II
never meant to laugh-the sound slipped
out by itself; l must be all nerves,
Johann, do seem all nerves?"
Johann did not look at her. What
does that mean?" he said What do
you mean when you say 'nerves?''
"Oh." She made a gesture with her
hands. "Oh, II means that you are all

repeated the words with a strange in

The doctor pondered on the point as
he walked briskly down the street.
Johann sat behind the counter until 6
O'Clock. AT he shut up shop. Ten
minutes later Anna heard a knock on
Solny's door
She looked up with sharp relief as the

and paused by the window seat
