One reason why Peruna has found per.

contains NO narcotic Of any kind. Re-

used any length Of time without acquir-

This is the last week of the spring
taxpaying period, and all who do not
pay at least one-half of their taxes
by Saturday evening, viii become de-
linquent.
According to Deputy A. C. Funk the
payments this year have been about
as last spring, with the exception that
the o. r. & n. company has paid up,
thus making the total receipts thus
far ahead of this tim elast year.
The following from the synopsis of
the tax law shows the consequence Of
a failure to pay before the end of the
month
If you pay one-half of your taxes
on or before the first Monday in
April, then the remaining half may
run up to and including the first
Monday in Octboer following, but IL
the last half of tax due is not paid by
Monday in October following, but if
comes delinquent, and there will be
added to such balance a penalty of 10
per cent, and in addition, such bal
ance will bear interest at the rate of
12 per cent per annum from the first
Monday in April until paid.
On all personal property taxes, If
one e-half is not paid on or before the
first Monday of April, the law compels
the sheriff to levy upon and collect
the same after May 1, hence to pre-
vent n levy upon personal property
after May 1 1t will be necessary for
one-half to be paid as above stated.
The law compels the sheriff to sell
all lands on which taxes have not been
paid, and that such sale shall not be
held later than March 1 of the year
succeeding the year in which the tax
levy was made.
The property will be sold to the
person bidding the lowest rate of in
terest, and certificates will be issued
therefore, and deeds given to such
property sold, unless redeemed with
In three years from the date of such
sale,

GREAT NATIONAL RIFLE MATCH.
1000 Marksmen Expected From All
Parts of United States.

Washington, d. c.. March 2S.-The
national rifle match of 1906 will be-
gin on September 4, at Sea Girt, n. j.,
when II is expected that fully 1000
marksmen will attend, including
teams representing nearly every state
in the union, Porto Rico, Hawaii, the
army, navy. marine corps and, pos
sibly, the military and naval academ-
les. Great interest is taken in the
match, and special arrangements
have been made by those in charge of
the ranges at Sea Girt to provide for
the accommodation of the competit-
ors and the large body of assistants,
markers. ETC., who will be detailed
probably from the regular army.
The ranges at Sea Girt have been
increased and the facilities improved
so as to avoid the vexatious delays
which attended the work of last year
at the same place. Other changes
have been made by the national board
for the promotion of rifle practice, so
as to shorten as much as possible the
time ii will be necessary for the
marksmen to spend on the range. 1t
is hoped by some of the members of
the board and by many of the marks
men especially those in the west, that
the match of 1907 will be held at Fort
Riley, Kas., which is more convent
ent owing to its central location.

Will the people OF Pendleton raise

the pioneer of 1852, who started and
Is executing this noble work in the
interest of his country. 1t Is long
journey, this trip across the conti-

of resolution which marks his face
he will finish it with the same keen
application to the task which marks
his first month out in the sun and
showers of March in Oregon.
He will follow closely the old TRAIL

rear monuments at every possible
point and will endeavor in every way
to rescue the great highway of the
continent from destruction. He took
up the task voluntarily. He is travel
ing on his own expenses giving enter

route to help defray the cost of the
work and will have his reward and
compensation for the tedious task in
the services which he will render to
his country in perpetratlng the MEM
ory OF the pathway of the argonauts
and pioneers.
All are cordially invited to visit Mr..
Meelocr in his camp near the Kunkel

Minneapolis. March 2S.-Six Ital-
ians were murdered in a hovel on
Tenth avenue south, last night. The
police heard the fight and saw eight
men run from the building. The Of
ficers thought the trouble was ended
and left This morning some one en-
tered and found four bodies hacked in
pieces with knives, and in the base
ment found two more bodies. No
trace OF the murderers is yet found.
Nine men rented the house two
months ago. Their movements were
mysterious.
The victims evidently fought for
their lives. There was no robbery as
box was found containing $500 in
italian coins, $500 in American coin
and a 1876 check in favor of 'Nicoli
DemtrL" A grip bearing that name
was found containing the expensive
robes of a priest of the Greek Cath
olic church and also French, Italian,
Greek and Turkish passports.

TRACES OF POISON FOUND.
McVicar Probably Drueged and
Boxed Alive.

stockton, March 2S.-The courage
Gus spirit of Mrs. Ledoux is breaking.
Yesterday afternoon she broke down
and wept bitterly in the presence of
Jailor Benjamin and wife, who is the
matron. She made no complaint or
comment, just cried. She has no ap-
petite and is eating very little.
Coroner Southworth's assistants
have found n trace of poison in the
stomach of McVicar, victim of the
trunk murder. The chemist making
the analysis made preliminary re-
port to the effect that the tests show
a slight alkaloid reaction, indicating
the presence of poison. This bears
out the coroner's theory that McVicar
was first drugged and then placed
alive in the trunk, subsequently being
suffocated. On this theory the bruises
on the head are traced to the efforts
TO force the body into the trunk.

Indianapolis, March 2S.--The min
ers and operators this morning re-
sumed consideration of ]. H. Wind
ers' motion to adopt the present
wage scale with basing points at
Danville, ILL.,, and Hooking Valley, o.
The debate was acrimonious. A.
]. Moorehead, an Illinois operator,
said he wasted 80 days each year try
ing to adjust differences and making
agreements which, he declared, "the
miners break nearly every day in the
year."
Delegate Walker, an Illinois miner,
replied, declaring that Moorehead's
remarks were for effect. He said his
statements are worthy of a person
who never saw the interior of an IL
linois mine and that his statements
are absolutely false, and cannot be
substantiated."
Mitchell entered the debate vigor-
ously and told the operators they
would have to give the public better
reasons for refusal than they have
done so far.
Mitchell wanted to know the rela-
tions between the companies repre-
sented and the railroads. He put
many pertinent questions calling them
to show down the statements that
they are unable to financially grant
the miners demands.
The operators answered, some
frankly admitting they are owned by
the roads, others denying any railroad
connection. -
The debate was brought out by an
operator from Hammond, Ill, saying
he would be glad to have a committee
appointed by President Roosevelt or
the miners committee investigate the
books. Mitchell demanded to know
If it applied to the books of the Rock
Island railroad.
An exhaustive discussion resulted I'M
proposed investigation, and it is like
ly that all branches of mining will be
investigated.

RETURN OF A PIONEER OF 1859.
A. Stockman VIII End His Days I'm
UmatiIla County.

tHhtllm SOunty.
A. Stockman, former pioneer res
ident of this county, has returned af-
ter an absence of many years and pro-
poses to locate again in the northern
part of the county.
Mr.. Stockman came to this county
in 1853, and at the time settled on
what is now known as the Hudson
Bay ranch, owned by w. S. Goodman.
Mr.. Stockman finally sold the place
for two yoke OF oxen. The land is
now valued at $3.50 an acre.
While living in that section of the
county the question OF locating the
county seat arose, and in the election
Mr.. Stockman's vote was cast against
Pendleton. He says he was surprised
when the result showed this place
had been selected, and hints that peo-
pie in this part of the county voted
twice.
After leaving Umatilla county Mr..
Stockman moved to Kansas. and af-
ter a few years residence there came
west to Idaho. There he settled upon
la place near Boise, which finally be.
came valuable. A short time ago he
sold out with the intention OF return
ing to this county and settling down"
He is now II years of age, and hopes
to secure a suitable place for a home
in the north end of the county.

''Thc Hepburn bill is unconstitution-

The court function is balance wheel

sawmill described in the confession

anything important Workmen dig
gipg over the ground found nothing
but the glass stopper of a bottle, and
the remains of a tin bucket. Adams
insists he buried the package. but
cannot remember the point in the
building in which the explosives are
concealed. The building is now used
as stable and many parts are so
changed as to confuse Adams.
