Light Hair Without Peroxide.

If you wish to tighten your hair and don't care to use peroxide, get camo- mile tea, which the Swiss women use to keep their hair light.

Curious Bird Catching.

The boys of Jamaica catch honey sucking birds by lying on the ground and covering their bodies with bushes and flowers of which the birds are in search. One of these flowers is then held by the lower portion of the tube between the fingers and the thumb, and as soon as the little bird inserts its long bill it is seized.

FUN FOR TIE GIRLS.
Praying as an Indoor Amusement ln
 stormy Weather.

On stormy days, girls, why not try fraying as an amusement? This occu patton is very simple and only requires a few pieces of flag bunting and box of matches with the heads cut off. Cut the bunting into two inch strips and pull out the long side first. After fraying the long side begin on the selvage Arrange the pulled out threads neatly in two rows.
 A number of toys may be made out of these frayngs-dolls' brooms, for instance. To make the broom take some short frayings and tie them se- curely around the bottom of a stick. This forms a street sweepers broom.
 Dolls, too, may be fashioned from the frayings. Use one long stick for the

The Baby Stars.

Did you ever hear the fairy tale in which the sun and moon are women No? We'll, you must sit down and hear it right away. At one time the sun had as many children as the moon. The children of the moon, you know, are the stars. But, fearing that the world could not stand so much brightness, both the sun and moon agreed to eat up their own babies. The sun kept her word, but the moon could not eat her own little children, so she hid them from the sun, but after time had to bring them from her hiding place: When the sun saw the moons babies she became very angry and chased the moon across the sky. And then, when the sun caught up and bit the moon, the world said we had an eclipse. But now, all the day long, the moon hides her babies and brings them out at night, when the sun is far away.-Ex- change.

The Way Their Very Best Dresses
 Are Made and Trimmed.
 The little Indian girls best dress is very different from yours. It is not trimmed with lace or beading or rib bon or any of the pretty materials you have Her dress is made of chamois skin and trimmed with beads and elk teeth. The elk teeth are the most prized of ornaments, for they are be coming quite rare. Only two teeth from each elk are used, so when you learn that one dress is sometimes trim med With 300 teeth you can count how many deer must have been killed to furnish the trimming. These teeth are worth from 50 cents to $2 apiece, so the little Indian girls dress is often very valuable.

On great occasions when little Baby -Not-Afraid-to Cry goes to an Indian dance or some great merrymak- ing her squaw mother gets out her best dress. Of course she has only one. When the little girls hair is parted from the middle of her forehead to tho back of her neck and each strand twisted stiff with worsted or ribbon her mother thinks her the sweetest child in the world, just as mothers have a habit of doing the world over, no matter what child's color may be.

FEARS TYPHOID scoURGE.
Head Of Health Department Warns
Public.

NEW YORK, Aug '16.-Typhoid fe-
verof perhaps epidemic proportions is
looked for in this city by Thomas OAR
lington, president of the health de-
partment. He says the disease will
not be checked until the arrival of
winter weather. DR.. Darlington frankly
expressed his fears today.
In conjunction with DR.. Hermann
Biggs, chief medical officer of the
health department, and DR.. J. S. Bill
lings, chief of the division of commu-
icable diseases, President Darlington
has inaugurated a campaign which he
hopes will minimize the spread of
the malady.
Upto August Is there have been 1896
cases of typhoid in the city and 305
deaths. In proportion to the popula-
ton there have been more cases Of the
disease ad more deaths in Brooklyn
than in any other borough. DR.. OAR
lington attributes this to contamination
of the water supply of Brooklyn.

HELD TO Be INVALID
Taxes Levied on Northern Pacific Can
not be Collected.


Assistant Attorney General A. J.
Falknor has given his opinion to the
Clarke county authorities that the tax
es levied on the lands first claimed by
the Northern Pacific and afterwards
given to homesteaders cannot be
collected for in the years which the
Northern Pacific claimed title. The
opinion sums up as follows:
las the government retained control
OF the disposition of this land it ap-
pears that neither the legal nor equit-
able title had passed, in which event
the lands were not subject to taxation
by the state authorities prior to the
time of making final proof
I'VE are therefore of the opinion that
the taxes levied upon the lands which
the government allowed the home
steader to take up and upon which he
has made final proof as a homesteader
are not liable to taxes levied prior to
the making of such final proof

STENOGRAPHERS AND BOOK
KEEPERS WANTED.

The Empire Business College has
furnished a large number of bookkeep-
ers this year, but the supply has not
been equal to the demand. A Walla
Walla firm applied to US a few days
since for a stenographer, but as we
were not able to provide them with
one, they had to send to Portland.
This state Of affairs ought not to ex-
list. With hundreds of ambitious young
people in and around Walla Walla
eager to get start in business, it
should not be necessary for business
men to send away for the help they
need. A few months faithful work
in the Business College in addition to
a common school education will en-
able these young people to make be-
ginning and to hold positions for
which they are not yet qualified. The
volume of business done in Walla Wal
la is rapidly increasing, and the de-
mand for competent office help will be
greater than ever next year. Those
who start to business college early
this fall will be ready for work in the
spring when the heaviest demand is
made upon the school for stenograph-
ers and bookkeepers.

CHARGED WITH STEALING J. c
SCOTS WATCH, THROWS UP
JOB AND FlEES.
Hunting Trip Yesterday Ended With
Spice of Adventure-Consta
Arrived Too Late.

j. C. Scott of the Jones-ScOtt COM
pany, lost a valuable gold watch While
hunting in the vicinity of Rulo yester-
day, and the man who is supposed to
have committed the theft, Charles Will
liams, a harvest hand and said to be
an ex-convict, is fleeing to parts un-
known to escape the serving of war
rant held by Walla Walla officers. On
reaching the wheat fields yesterday
morning Mr.. Scott tied his rig in an
isolated place near where harvesting
operations are being conducted. On
returning to the buggy in the after
noon Mr.. Scott discovered that his
gold watch, which he left in the rig,
was missing. A little investigation fol-
lowed and the fact was disclosed that
Williams mad visited the buggy dur
ing the absence of the hunters in
search of Refreshments" as he told
the other hands.
While Mr.. Scott stood off to one side
with a shotgun, Attorney Gose boldly
charged Williams with the theft of
the watch. Williams, who was driving
a header wagon, climbed off his seat
with pitchfork, but no attention was
paid to his warlike actions and he was
advised to think the matter over and
return the watch. He denied that he
had visited the buggy, but this was
disproved by the other harvest hands.
Seeing that Williams would not give
up the watch, Mr.. Scott sent word to
Walla Walla by the w. & c. r. train
crew and a warrant was issued and
placed in Constable Peterson's hands
to serve. When the officer arrived at
Rulo last night Williams had thrown
up his job and took to the hills. He
was in such a hurry that he forgot to
collect about $40 due him for work. Be
fore leaving Williams went to his
bunk and placed a six-shooter and sew
eral boxes of cartridges in his pocket.
A description of Williams has been
sent out to the various towns and the
officers believe the man will be picked
up in a day or so.

PAVING OF NORTH FOURTH AND
ELM MAY BE DEFERRED FOR
SOME TIME YET.
Claim That Cost Of Improvement
Would Almost Mean Confisca.ion.
Of the Property.

Thirteen property owners in North
Fourth and Elm streets, representing
total frontage Of 1864 feet, protested
to the council last night against the
proposed creation of an assessment
district for the purpose of paving the
two streets either with asphalt or Bit
ulithic pavement. The protest was
based on the grounds that the expense
that would be entailed in paving with
either pavement would mean a practi-
cal confiscation of the property. They
alleged that there is little business
property in either street and that it
will be several years yet before the
value of the property on the two
streets would be equal to the cost of
the proposed improvement. The pro-
testing property owners and the 'front.'
age represented by each is as follows:
