Something over a fortnight ago,
says an exchange, an up state man
received a circular from a New
York concern Offering to sell him
a"model' bicycle for 1885. He
had always felt that the price of
bicycles we're to high. The circular
said that the $3.50 wheel was a
ssperfect,charm, and modelled after
a 500 machine 1t also recited
that each bicycle was Equipped
with a smokeless bicycle lamp and
cyclometer registering 10000
miles and said you cannot ride
the wheel and puncture or cut the
tires. 1t does not weigh thirty
pounds, but is light and easily
carried. He sent his 1886, but
strange as it may seem the wheel
did not come by freight. The mail
man left a package at the mans
residence this week and when it
was opened a nice nickle-plated
watch charm, with a cute little
bicycle weighing less than ssthirty
pounds" dropped from out OF it's
sue paper covering. The wheel
and its trappings were all there
even to the "smokeless lamp" and
the "cyclometer registering 10000
miles"

No home is quite complete where
everything for it's comfort and
cheer has been done without the
presence in it which redeems the
too sordid persuit of present op-
portunities by the tender touch OF
the things of the past. "What is
home without a mother?" the street
ballad has it, but just as true and
forciable a praise would be
"What is home without a grand
mother?" Whether it is the brisk
and bustling grandmother, whose
years set lightly and who is more
useful than any brownie in the
home, or the dear old saint whose
work is done and who can only sit
with folded hands and show us
how near heaven is TO earth, it is
the grandmother that is the real
angel in the home, and every child
in the family thinks SO.

No clever, brilliant thinker, she,
With college record and degree:
Ii has not known the paths of fame;
The world has never heard her name;
She walks in odd, untrodden ways i
The valleys of the yesterdays.
Around her childish hearts are twined,
AS with some sc weren't saint enshrined;
And following hers. the childish feet
Are led to ideals true and sweet,
And find all purity and good
In her divinest womanhood,
h keeps her faith unshadowed still,
God rules the world In good and i'll;
Men in her creed are brave and true,
And women pure as pearls of dew;
And life for her is high and grand,
BY work and glad endeavor spanned.
This sad old earth's a brighter place
All for the sunshine of her face;
Her very smile u blessing throws.
And hearts are happier where she goes.
A gentle, clear eyed messenger,
To whisper ~lOve-thank God for her!

BUD DOBLE NEARLY KILLED
Trainer is Hurled in Air and Tramp
ed on By Animal.

In training one of his famous stal
lions, Bud Doble was nearly killed on
his big stock farm near Lawrence sta
ton, California, late Saturday after
noon by horse which he had been
driving. For some time past Doble
has been having trouble with the ami
NAL. One day last week while the
horse was being driven by the train
er about the farm he picked up nail.
Doble extracted it, but in doing SO
caused. the horse great pain. At the
time the stallion showed dislike for
the driver, but Doble thought nothing
of the incident.
Saturday the animal made no dis
play of temper until an opportune
time offered itself. Doble wanted to
rearrange the check rein, and walked
by the side of the horse until near his
head. As he stood there he was sud
denly pounced upon and felled to the
ground. Then the stallion reached
down and picked up the prostrate
trainer in his teeth, shaking him vio-
lently. He hurled Doble to one side
and then deliberately knelt on the
body, placing his knees on the trainers
chest and side. Several men from the
stable rushed over and beat the ami
NAL off and carried the injured train
er home. Doble has several ribs
broken and sustained number of bad
bruises.

in the Right Place at the
Wrong Time.

Charles Gay and Bert Cartano, two
of the best boys that ever lived, were
arrested on the reservation Wednes-
day afternoon for misdemeanor
which anyone, even an editor, who
goes fishing, is liable to be caught up
for.
The boys were headed for the
Thompson place, but went across the
reservation via Thorn hollow, for the
reason that their rig had no brake,
and they could not descend Ryan
grade.
At Thorn Hollow station they met
with friends, and while in the act of
drinking bottle of beer, Ed. Redford
and two Indian policemen happening
to be in the right place at the wrong
time, came upon the party and placed
the two Athena men under arrest.
They were taken to Pendleton by
the Indian agent, Major Edwards. ap-
peared before Commissioner HALEY,
and were bound over in the sum of
800 each to appear before the federal
court in Portland. J. W. Maloney
and Lester Swaggart went on their
bonds and last night Mr.. Cartano and
Mr.. Gay left for Portland to settle

MRS. WATSON LEAVES JAIL
After Signing Bond No Friends There
to Greet Her.

Breathing prayers of thankfulnest
and stopping to look at the flowers and
shrubs; holding her head high that
she might more freely drink in great
draughts of the pure air of golrious
September day, Mrs. Emma L. Wat.
sou, convicted of conspiring to de-
fraud the United States out of its
public lands, walked this morning
from the county Jail in company with
Deputy United States Marshal Ker-
rigau to the federal court building,
where she signed a recognizance
bond ard shortly after went out into
the sunshine free woman, says the
Journal.
For nearly three months Mis-. Wat
son has been confined in the county
Jail, where she was delivered by her
bondsmen, who feared that she might
run away from the government
authorities in case her testimony
might be wanted in subsequent land
fraud cases. When she emeged from
the Jail she was nattily attired in a
light grey plaid travelling suit. Her
stylish millinery was hidden by a
heavy pink automobile veil, which
was also drawn about her face, par
TALLY hiding it from view. Although
the veil and the rouge which she used
completely covered her face and
che teks, they were not sufficient to
hide all traces of the prison pallor
which she gained in her confinement
in the county bastile.
After the formality of signing the
bond had been gone through with,
Mrs. Watson left the federal building
unaccompanied. Not friend was
there to greet her except number Of

TO USE OIL FOR SAND DUNES
0. Re N. Will Attempt to Remove
Serious Obstruction.

For years the o. r. g. N. company
has tried to find some way in which
the blowing sand of the Columbia
river might be confined aud at last the
company will experiment with crude
oil. The Portland Oregonian says of
the intended innovtaion:
After years of labor and thousands
of dollars spent in trying to keep the
Eastern Oregon sands from encroach-
ing on the tracks and hindering the
! operation of trains, the o. r. 81 N.
system, it is thought, has at last hit
upon the right expedient. What is
asserted to be certain remedy is the
sprinkling of the sand dunes near the
track with crude oil. 1t is said this
treatment will bind the shifting sand
piles as nothing else can and will
prevent loose sand from blowing over
the dunes treated with oil as the dry
PARTICLES will stick to the oiled sur.
face. Experiments with oil as a
means of keeping the shifting sands of
the Comlubia off the tracks may be
made by the officials of the road in a
short time.
Ever since the o. K. q N. tracks
were first laid along the Columbia the
operating department Of the road has
had an unceasing battle with sand.
1t was no ordinary problem the heads
OF the system bad to grapple with for
the white. featbery particles, whirled
about by the wind, have often proved
more Troublesome than drifting snow.

MURDERED AND MUT|lATED
Feud in Pine Valley Ends in Horrible
Murder Of VIM. Moody.

/ One of the bitterest feuds ever
known in Eastern Oregon has ended
in the horrible murder of William
Moody. pioneer of Pine valley,
Baker county, and one of the most
prominent stockmen of that part OF
the state. After numbering Moody
some unknown fiend mutilated bis
body In a most cruel and dastardly
manner.
The Oregon Daily Jouroal's Bak Ell
City correspondent says of the affair:
One of the foulest murders ever
committed in Baker county was done
Saturday night, when some unknown
person shot and killed William
Moody, prominent rancher of Pine
valley, about so miles from this place.
The slayer had shown his fiendish
cruelty in his work. BE pounded the
dead mans head to a pulp with a
club OF the but of gun, aud left the
body lying iu the brush less than a
quarter of mile from Pine.
The body was discovered by small
boy, the authorities were notified and
search for the murderer was i'm
mediately started. There is no
known direct cause for the murder,
but surmises are heard on every side.
Between the Moody family and the
neig hbors there has been Trouble for
years. The dead man was married
twice and separated both times from
his wife. His brother, Henry Moody,
aged 40 years, was acquitted last week
of a statutory charge preferred by the
father of a IA year old girl Of Pine.
The feeling in the neighborhood was
dangerous at the time and Violence
was threatened if Moody should be
acquitted.
When the body of William Moody
was found the eyes had been gouged
out, the nose and lips were cut off,
and other marks of fiendish hatred
were made.
Mystery still shrouds the foul MUIR
der, the most shocking crime in the
annals of Baker county. After "a
days investigation the coroner's in :
quest failed to give single clew that
suggested more than a simple possibil
ity. Unless family troubles caused it
no one can explain the awful deed of
the assassin.
Moody was found on a trail leading
from Pinetown and the Portland Trad
ing company's store to his ranch, a
quarter of mile through thick ct.
When Moody left the Portland Trad
ing company's store for his home the
assassin was waiting for him and
when the victim got within few feet
shot him dead and in frenzy of de-
monical rage mutilated the body most
cruelty.
1t was not until Sunday evening
that the body was found. The man
had been dead Is hours. The MUIR
derer had escaped. With him he car
ried Moody's eyes. II the authorities
can locate Moody's brother in law,
named Cole, he will be held to tell
wat he knows about the crime. Cole
mistreated his wife and the Moodys
interfered for their sister, William
Moody. the dead man, being especial
ly stern in demanding justice for her.
Cole was elected from the farm mp
on which he had lived, and the wife
went back to her brothers. 1t was Cd
this farm that Moody was killed.
Cole has not been seen since, and the
authorities will hold him for question
ing If he is found. He is said to have
threatened the Moody family.
