A LITTLE NONSENSE.
The Farmers Daughter Was No En-
couraoer of laziness

eeurRser of Laziness.
One of those family emergencies
had occurred. There were several
unexpected guests and an INSULT
cheney OF servants. So the head OF
the house persuaded a daughter of
a farmer who lived near by to Off
ciate as waitress for one night only.
'Its easy enough" he explained to
the unwilling girl. when the bell
rings all you have to do is to come
in, do whatever little thing is want
ed and then go out"
As the guests took their seats at
the table one of them brushed a
fork to the floor. The host touched
the bell. In came the temporary
waitress. Dye want me?" she
asked.
"Yes," said the host, motioning
with his hand. "Ihe gentleman
dropped fork"
The girl stepped inside the room,
With upEfted hands and eyes open
ed wide in astonishment, she drawl-
ed out:
"Good Lord! Yew don't mean
ter say yew rung that ere bell jest
ter have me cum in n. pick up thet
fork, do yer? Well, by gorry! #
'e's ser lazy he can't pick it up him
self, yew kin let it lay thar. | won't
tech il" Then she made hurried
exit, banging the door.-Woman's

Plan That Failed.

A certain henpecked husband of
Muskogee read in the papers where
girl at Tahlequah had been scared
to death by the discharge of several
cannon crackers, and straightway
went downtown and bought large
supply, intending to fire them. He
hustled his wheelbarrow load of
combustibles up near his wife's
room and touched them off. When
the shower of shattered glass and
broken pieces of timber ceased, the
man felt something cold against his
cheek, and, glancing that way, saw
his wife with a revolver thrust in
his face. She remarked coldly
"Now, you march into the house
and go to bed or there'll be sec
ond class funeral" He marched,
muttering under his breath: 1T
might work on a Tahlequah damsel,
but on Muskogee woman, neyern'

Near.lam Chops.

1t has been discovered that meat
marketmen can make very clever
imitation of lamb chops. The bones
are kept in stock and the meat very
cunninSly pressed about them to
look like chops. Then they are sold
to customers for the real thing. I'm
less You are critical observer you
would not discover the deception.
This is an enterprising age, and
yet the adulteration OF foods has not
reached its perfection point. There
is room for improvement. With
markctmen able to make lamb chops
out of almost any old thing, we ex-
pect them to advance until they are
able to build steer from hoofs to
horns, jointing him adroitly and
padding out with left over meat
scraps.-Boston Post.

SUIT AGAINST AN ESTATE.
Question Raised OF Legitimacy OF Mar
riage Relation.

Judge Stewart Of the district court
yesterday sustained the demurrer to
the complaint, interposed by the de-
fendant, in the case of Jane F.. Wood
VS.. Henry u. Johnson, administrator of
the estate of the late John Wood. at
one time Mrs. Woods husband, says
the Boise Statesman. This is the cause
brought by Mrs. Wood, the Boise
widow, against the estate for $4,000
for board and lodging for long series
OF years. during the period he was
supposed to be her husband.
In bringing the suit 1t was repre-
sented by the plaintiff that John
Wood had gone through the marriage
ceremony with her, knowing that he
was already married to a woman in
Missouri, and therefore should pay for
the expense he, had made, the same
as any other boarder. The defense
interposed a demurrer to the COM
plant, asserting that the marriage to
Jane Wood was not void, as assumed
by the plaintiff until after 1t had been
so declared by some court of compe-
tent jurisdiction. The claim was also
advanced that the bill for board had
outlawed.
Judge Stewart sustained the demur-
rer, holding that as the pleadings in
the case were drawn the plaintiff

wOoLBUYERs ON THE WAY.
Eastern Oregon the Next Field for
Their Activities.

In the sales of Arizona wool which
recently occurred at Phoenix, the cap
ital of that territory, nearly two
thirds of the clip was bought by Judd
& Root, of Hartford, Conn. through
their buyer, E. ]. Burke. The prices
paid for most of the wool ranged be-
tween 81 and 22 cents. though more
was paid for some, while some poor
grade wool brought less.
The above prices are higher than
those of a year ago and indicate the
general strength of the wool market.
That eastern Oregon wool will also
bring higher prices than it did lost
growers or buyers.
From Arizona the woolbuyers will
come direct to eastern Oregon, as the
wool of this section will be the next
ready for the market. However, they
are not expected to arrive here tor a
month yet though some of the buyers
will doubtless be here on preliminary
visits before that time.
The fact that Judd & Root bought
| the bulk of the Arizona wool indicates
| that they have large contracts on
hand and consequently may be the
people to bull the market this sea
son. Last year Charles Green, foI
Koshland Bros, led the buying and
purchased nearly all the wool at the
sales day here and secured probably
half of all the wool in Oregon.

After having been convicted in two
courts of murder in the first degree
and sentenced to life Imprisonment 1t
is now probable that Columbia
George, Umatilla Indian, will gain his
liberty. While in Seattle a few days
ago Attorney r. ]. Slater applied be-
fore Federal Judge Hanford for a
writ of habeas corpus for Columbia
George. The basis for the request was
that the federal court before which
George was convicted did not have
jurisdiction. and consequently the
prisoner should be released from Nc
Neils island, where he is now con-
fined. Judge Hanford set March 26
as date upon which the United
marshal of Washington must appear
in court and show cause why the
writ should not be granted.
Columbia George and Toy Toy, a
fellow Indian, were accused of having
killed a woman on the reservation In
1901. They gave her strychnine and
claimed they believed her to be a
witch. They were tried in the circuit
court and convicted of murder in the
first degree. The case was appealed
to the supreme court of Oregon, and
that body held that the state court
did not have jurisdiction in such
cases. A trial was then had in the
federal court at Portland, and another
conviction followed. The two Indians
were then sentenced to life imprison-
ment and are now serving their sem
tences at McNeil's island.
However, recent decisions of the su-
preme court have held that state
courts have jurisdiction in Indian
cases and consequently there is a
chance that Columbia George may be
released on the technical ground that
the court which convicted him had nc
jurisdiction. Mr.. Slater is confident
that his application for a writ of ha-
beas corpus will be granted. Should
it be done. Columbia George will be
made a free man and cannot again be
tried in the state courts for his crime
as such would be placing his life twice
in jeopardy for the same Offense.
Nothing has been done towards the
| liberation of Toy Toy, as Mr.. Slater
is not serving as attorney for him.

Between 400 and 500 feet of stone
wall, and 1S-foot concrete driveway
and other valuable improvements will
be made to the Howard strip OF land
lying along the north bank of the
river west Of Jackson street and re-
Gently purchased by ex-Mayor Mat
lock, If present plans are carried out.
For several days past Surveyor
Geary kimbrell has been employed in
making preliminary surveys and esti-
mates of the work and within a few
days will have the estimates and sur
veys ready to submit to Mr. Matlock's
representatives in the absence of Mr..
Matlock and the work of constructing
the wall and driveway and of leveling
the lots will perhaps begin.
1t is the intention of Mr.. Matlock to
begin at the sidewalk on Jackson
street, at the north end of the bridge.
and level up the entire tract of land
lying along the river bank, to the
academy grounds. Two walls will be
built-one at the lower boundary of
the Matlock tract and adjoining the
Walters mill race, and back of this
feet in height, will be another wall of
similar height, and between the two
walls will be a concrete driveway ut
least Is feet in width, thus giving an
excellent roadway from the bridge
along the entire property and connect
ing with the street leading to the
academy from the north.
The lots included in this tract will
be leveled and all the low places filled
in and it will be converted into an ele-
CANT building site. The Matlock tract
is about 400 feet in length and the
academy owns several hundred feet
adjacent, portion of which will also
be improved in the same manner in
which the Matlock property will be
improved, thus making this one of the
most attractive portions of the city.
The Matlock tract faces the river, and
the roadway will be built as near the
Walters mill race as possible, giving
an excellent view and making it easy
of access to the city by means of the
excellent roadway to be constructed.

WILL ASSESS MORTGAGES.
Walla Walla Assessor VIII inaugural,
New Rule.

"All mortgages in first or second
hands, not given as the purchase price
of real estate. will be assessed at 60
per cent of their face value" Is the
announcement sent out from the
county assessors off! today, says
the Walla Walla Bulletin. This is In
compliance with the agreement of the
state assessors convention and will re-
suit in an enormous Increase in the
assessed valuation of the county.
Mortgages in third hands, however, or
held by outside parties, will escape
taxation as it might be double taxa
ton.
This is an innovation that may
work well, but there is considerable
speculation as to just how we'll it will
work. Heretofore the law has made
it somewhat optional in regard to list.
ing mortgages, and like money IN
bank, very few people would give
them in to the assessor. This year
however, everybody will be required
to hold up their hands and declare
under oath just how much property OF
every description, and particularly in
the way of mortgages and notes, they
have in their own name.

Dr. L. X. Blakeslee has determined
to establish a sanatorium in this city
for the benefit of patients who come
from distant places to take electrical
treatment under him. There are many
who come to Pendleton for that pur-
pose, and the doctor states that it has
now become necessary for him to es-
tablish a sanatorium in order to care
for his practice. BY having his pa
tients together in such a place 1t will
be easier for him to administer treat
ment and will also make 1t much more
convenient for his patients.
No definite location has yet been
secured by DR.. Blakeslee. but it is his
intention to secure some building of
10 or IL rooms in a convenient part
of the city. and to furnish it in a prop
er manner. When it is established
patients who come from abroad for
electrical treatment may secure quar-
ters in the sanitorium and take treat
ment there.

recommendations concerning a pro-

that city. There is now considerable
contention between the citizens of the
town and the water company regard
ing the location of the intake for the
water works. The dispute arose as a
result of the typhoid fever epidemic
which Is now prevalent in Eugene and
which has been very serious.
In securing a settlement Of the con-
troversy the services of the state
board Of health have been asked and
DIR. c. ]. Smith, president of the board
has called a meeting for Eugene. Dr.

Appreciated.

"other Peoples Money" which was
played last night at the Frazer thea

saw it. 1t is clever comedy and one
in which there is something to laugh

Hutchinson Hopper, is the star of the
show, while Frank Montgomery, as
Oliver Starboard, also plays a leading
part. Considering the prices charged
last night the company is very good
one, and their entertainment is a
pleasant change from some of the
melodramas that have been presented
here lately.

raised in this county and has recently
been fed at the feed yard just west OF
the city on the Tutuilla.
