BURIED FOURTEEN YEARS
BODY is EXHUMED

The remains of D. A. Reeder, a pfo-
neer of this county, who died four
teen years ago, were exhumed Thurs
day for the second time and moved to
a new place for burial, says the Ath-
ena Press. / 81,
Fourteen years ago when death
claimed the head of the Reeder
family, the remains were inferred
in the cemetery at Helix. Several
years afterward the body was lifted
from the first grave and moved to the
family lot in the Athena cemetery.
The widow and family are now resi-
dents of Tacoma Mrs. Reeder who is
old and has but few years before her,
expressed the wish that the body be
brought to Tacoma so that when she
was laid to her long rest she would be
placed beside her husband. Her
children needed the wish and Thurs
day, Undertaken Miller exhumed the
body, placed it in Theoretically
sealed casket, and yesterday it was
shipped to Tacoma.

OLYMPIA MAN DIES OF
MYSTERIOUS AILMENT

OLYMPIA, Oct. 25.-J. r. Chaplin,
founder of the Olympia Development
company and prominent in educational
and religious work in this city, died
at 1 o'clock this afternoon after an
illness lasting nearly a year. The end
come none the less suddenly, how
ever, as he was able to walk about
yesterday and sat up part of the fore
noon. The exact cause of his death
will be determined by an autopsy. His
ailment has baff1ed his physicians.
About a year abo he was taken sud-
denly ill and almost in a day his fea-
lures changed from those of apparent
health to wasted disease. Little nope
of his ultimate recovery was held
out.

PENDLETON, Oct. Exchanged
with the embezzlement Of 1928, a
warrant of arrest was issued yesterday
for w. ]. Sewell, erstwhile manager of
the Potlatch Lumber company, who de-
parted for parts unknown after hav-
ing administered a beating to his wife.
The complaint was sworn to by John
Kendall of Palouse, the president of
the Potlatch Lumber company.
A hasty examination disclosed this
much of a shortage and it is feared
by Mr.. Kendall that a careful investi-
cation will disclose a much greater
loss The money missed so far is that
which he failed to remit to the COM
pany along with his daily reports and
it is more than likely that he also
made collections and failed to turn the
money in to the company.
His property in this city has all
been disposed Of and his account at
the First National bank closed. He
told one friend that he had gone TO
Kalispell, Mont, to get money from an
aunt and would return to Pendleton
Tuesday evening, but he failed to show
up.

ATHENA WAS 4 DRY TOWN
Stores and Saloons Were Shut Up
Tight.
ACTION WAS TAKEN VOLUNTARILY
DURING SLACK" SEASON BUsI.
NESS MEN DECIDE TO TAKE
A REST.
ACTION WAS TAKEN VOLUNTARILY

ATHENA, Oct. 25.-Without any
action from the Law and Order league,
the temperance workers or any other
organization, Athena has again passed
into the lists of closed towns. Sunday
every store and the saloons remained
closed during the day.
The action started with the mercan-
tile houses, the owners of which be-
lieve in the fairness of giving their
employees a day of rest each week,
now that the busy harvest season is
over and customers nave ample time
in which to do their trading on week
days.
The saloon men, who during the
harvest season, opened the back doors
Of their places of business on Sundays,
closing at p. M, also fell into line
and the saloons remained closed.
The move of closing their business
houses on Sundays is voluntary on the
part of the merchants and saloon men,
not being prompted in the least by
any step made by outside influence,
and appears to have been the result of
a desire to close on Sundays during
the slack business season.

Dry Farming Yields 40 Bushels.

Joe Marnach had the banner cror
of grain in this locality this season
and he secured it as a result of the
application of one Of the important
principles of dry farming methods
that of sub-surface packing methods
packs the ground underneath and
leaves it loose on top, says the Ma
dras Pioneer. Off of 40 acres Of his
ranch, four miles west of this place
he has secured this year 1900 BUSH
els of barley, an average Of 40 BUSH
els to the acre. The soil on this ranch
is no better than on dozens Of other
places in that locality, and the big
yield must be attributed to the meth
cd Of farming which he followed.

Many people, reading Of the scan-
dals attaching to the insurance COM
panies, the departments in the ma
tional government, the city admin
istrations. etc., become very much
ashamed at the immense number of
instances of dishonesty among our
people. We have heard not few
cry out that all honor is dead. We
regret TO hear anyone express such
an opinion, not only because such
a view is quite erroneous, but be-
cause of the evil effects such ex-
pressions have upon the unthink-
ing.
AS a matter of fact, the shock
among our people that is apparent
when the cases of dishonesty are re-
vealed, is an evidence of a high
sense of honor among our citizen
ship. Again it appears to us that
the fact that this wrong doing is be-
ing ferreted out is evsdence of an
awakened intelligence and an aroused
conscience on the part of our peo-
pie. Never before has it been so
apparent that honesty is the best
policy. Some one will say that
much of the honesty on the part
part Of our leaders is merely assum-
ed, but the fact that the leaders are
forced to assume this role is proof
that they are responding to senti.
ment that is powerful. We are glad
that we still have faith in the final
supremacy of good over evil, and
that we think we see all about us
substance upon which our faith
may feed. Let not our older men
teach the younger that there is no
honor, unless they would have the
world abandon its principles.-Gre-
