a Romance for You!

One of the most novel weddings ever
held in the city took place at the hour
of midnight Saturday, says the Pendle-
ton Tribune, when Miss Minnie B.
Weatherby, of Beloit, Wis, was united
in marriage to Mr.. George LaDuc of
Pendleton. The bride arrived in the
city on the westbound train at 1:45
o'clock, and was met at the depot by
her fance who quickly escorted her to
the parsonage. A romantic feature Of
the marriage is that neither one of the
principals had ever seen each other be-
fore. The liberal use of pen and ink,
the exchange Of photographs, and the
thrills of long distance love were suf-
ficient to bring about the happy event.

Representative w. D. Chamberlain

and has been filed in the Office of the

Under certain provisions OF the char

Handicapped in conducting municipal
affairs and from time to time alterations
have been made by amendments Still
the charter was found to be defective in
many ways, and to overcome these de-
fects, a new charter was drawn by j. j..
Balleray, of Pendleton. 1t passed both
houses of the legislature and with the
governors signature, is now law
Under the provisions of the new char
ter the limits of the corporation have
not Been extended, as had been intend
ed. The purpose was to enlarge the
corporation by taking in certain lands
owned by Hon. T. j. Kirk, B. F. Ogle
and Wm. Estes. Mr.. Kirk was willing
that his land should be included in the
corporate limits, but Messrs. Ogle and
Estes demurred, and rather than force
the matter through, those having the
charter in hand allowed the boundary
lines to remain as before.
A departure that is acknowledged by
all who have given the matter thought
to serve to better facilitate city govern
ment, is the provision for the election Of
six councilmen, of which the three re-
ceiving the highest number Of votes cast
at the first election shall retain the office

ASLEEP IN A BUGGY.
Narrow Escape OF Young Man and
Woman Near Milton.

Narrow Escape OF Young Man and
Woman Near Milton.
Reports come from Milton of a narrow
escape from death of young man and
woman near that place on Wednesday
morning last.
AS the work train came out from
Walla Walla to work on the bridge
which spans the river at Milton, it met
with an unusual experience about two
miles east of the town. When about
300 yards from the public road crossing,
the engineer saw buggy standing
across the track. He at once blew the
whistle, but the buggy did not move.
He then applied the brakes, and run his
engine up as close as he dared to, and
got out to investigate. To his surprise
he found young man and woman in
the buggy fast asleep. They we're
awakened and when told of their danger
the young lady promptly tainted.
Itseems as if they had been out at a
party pretty late, and knowing that the
old horse was slow and sure to 60 home,
had tied the lines around the whip, in
order to be little more cosy.
When the buggy struck the track the
horses head was on the down grade and
that drew the lines taut, and the old
fellow stopped, needless Of the danger
that his load Of human freight was in,
Names are withheld to save embarrass-
ment.

CATCHING COLD.
Fhe Way This In Aided by Improper
Methods of Feeding.

Methods Of Feeding.
The really important question is, In
what does predisposition consist? We
talk Of man catching a cold" But
1t would be more correct and equally
graphic to say that the cold has
caught" the man. for It does catch
him unawares and often when he
least anticipates It. But no cold ever
caught any man unless he had hrst
prepared the ground for 1t by careful
process of fertilization
No amount Of mere exposure to low
temperature alone will cause ''cold"
in a perfectly healthy man In whom
the product Of wear and tear of nerve
and muscle with adequate excretion Of
waste products on the one side is even
ly balanced by food supply and exercise
on the other. Where this equilibrium
does not exist such exposure then op.
crates as a Chill"
Now, who are the people who are
liable to catch cold? Not those whose
dietary Is SO carefully adjusted to the
work they have to do that there is no
opportunity for the accumulation Of un-
used foodstuffs in their tissues, but
those who in the better fed ranks Of
society eat and drink more than they
need to meet the daily requirements Of
their bodily activity and are thus con.
tnually storing up In their tissues and
excreting organs material which II ap-
proprlately used would form valuable
ammunition for the development Of
energy either of body or mind. but

point has to be blown of in q ''cold"

How Fish Eat.

The curious ways in which fishes
eat form a study. Some fishes have
teeth. and some have none at ALL In
some the teeth are found upon the
tongue, in some In the throat, and in
some in the stomach Some draw in
their food by suction; the sturgeon is
one of this class. The jellyfsh absorbs
its food by wrapping It's body around
the prey it covets. The stariish fas.
tens itself to its victim, turns It's stOm-
ach wrong side out and engulfs its
dinner without the formality Of swal.
lowing Il through a mouth first, much
less asking permission
Then there is a peculiar little crab
the horseshoe crab-which chews
up its food with its legs or claws be.
fore 1t passes the mOrsels over TO It's
mouth, while other crabs and HOLSTERS
masticate their food with their jaws
and afterward complete the work
with an extra set # teeth which
they find conveniently located in their
stomachs.
So there are all sorts of methods for
thOse regularly toothless. and the
fishes which have teeth show almost
as great a diversity in the number,
style and arrangement Of them. The

Mankato Congressman Fears
Critism for Vote on Phillip. :
pine Free Trade Bill.

Washington, Dec. 20-Congress-
man McCleary is out with a long
statement, defending his vote for
free trade with the Philippines. He
admits that the bill, which he vote
to report to the house, will precipi-
tate q tariff discussion. -
Mr.. McCleary hlsmself has prepar-
ed a bill on the maximum and min
imum order, in which he proposes
to raise the Dingley schedules on
products from countries which dis
criminate against us. The increase
would be 25 per cent. This will
intensity the already strained rela-
tions between Germany and the
United States.
Congressman Babcock of Wiscon-
sin and McCleary had a hot argu-
ment on the Philippine bill. BaD-
cock claims McCleary's position is
not in accord with Western senti-
ment. McCleary will have to face
some strong opposition in the near
future.

BANK CRASH
Three Financial Institutions Dom.

Chicago, Dec. 20-Three of the
largest financial institutions in the

the Home Savings bank and the
Equitable Trust company, all of
them controlled by John R. Walsh
of this city, and in great measure
owned by him, suspended operations
today. Their affairs will be liqui-
dated as rapidly as possible and they
will go out of business.
Mr.. Walsh, who was the president
of the Chicago National bank and
of the Equitable Trust company, and
all the other officers of the Chicago
National bank have resigned. Ma
tionl Bank Examiner G. h. Bosworth
has succeeded Mr.. Walsh at the head
Of the Chicago National bank.
Back of the new management
stand he allied banks of Chicago,
who have pledged their resources
that every depositor shall be paid to
the last cent.
The immediate cause of the COL
lapse of the institutions controlled
by Mr.. Walsh is said to be the large
amount of money which they have
loaned to various private enter.

Indiana railway and the Bedford
