The usual number of tinhorns are
flocking back to Pendleton to spend
the harvest season here. Rooms are
fitted up in different portions of the
city for gambling. and it is positively
known that gambling is being con-
Quoted by saloon men who know bet
ter, and who should have more re-

NIT it. 1t is only a question of time
until they will open up once too often.
The people will not stand for the par
asite, His day is past, There are
several dozen more tinhorns in the
city who should be put to work on
the street with the Indian drunks.
This is a sure cure for gambling in
Pendleton, and should be practiced
regularly.

Peruna as an excellent tonic, and It Is

States Land Office, writes from Mont

"For some time have been sufferer
from catarrh in Its incipient stage, 80
much so that / became depressed and
feared my health was generally in q
decline. But hearing of Peruna as Q
good remedy gave It fair trial and
began to improve. Its effects were dis

How King Leopold is
"Civilizing" Africa.

Rev. r. Hamill Nassau, who has
spent 45 consecutive years in the Con-
so Free State, west Africa. writes as
follows of King Leopold's treatment of
the natives;
King Leopold's soldiers go through
the villages and order so much rubber
to be delivered, If the quantities de-
manded are not forthcoming the SOL
diers seize the wives and daughters of
the villagers and torture them with
their five-foot lashes.
one of their methods of torture Is
to whip the women until the flesh
is torn. then honey is rubbed in these
fresh cuts and the victims are tied to
stakes near beehives and ant hills,
where they are slowly stung to death.
l have already alluded to the prac-
tice of beating these native women,
and I will tell of particularly afro
cious case. An officer whose name I
will not mention, had among his wives
a mere girl, child in knowledge. For
some trivial fault he took a dislike to
her and proceeded to wreak his ven
He instructed the black soldiers to
seize her and drag her to a stake. AL
though she pleaded piteously. realz-
ing the horrible fate in store for her.
her cries only met with indifference
like stone. She supplicated and plead
ed while her guards, acting under the
instructions of their white superior,
he I..a
In his hand a stout whip of hippopota-
mus hide, similar to the ones l have
brought home.
Raising the whip, he brought the
cruel lash down on her unprotected
body, causing welts.
The victim wirithed In agony. but
her suffering only added flame to the
mans lust for torture.
Again and again the heavy lash
swirled through the air and fell across
her flesh until she was cut in a hund-
red places.
But even then she was not released.
The sight of his helpless victim
goaded the monster on to devise fresh
torture, and he uttered orders that she
De not released.
Night approached and still the girl
hung to the stake in a frightful con-
dition.
Death did not come then to ease her
suffering, and so through the night
she remained there in a torment words
cannot describe.
But if her sufferings had been great
there were still greater tortures in
store for the hapless victim. In the
morning the white officer surveyed his
work, and finding that the vital spark
still flickered family. he ordered that
honey he brought forth.
The honey was then smeared all
over her wounds and she was left in
the fierce glare of the tropical sun.
Soon the scent of the honey attract
ed myirads of insects, which settled on
her in droves.
Ants swarmed over her. pestiferous
insects fought for room on her body.
while the sun streamed down and the
young woman suffered worse than
death.
When the second night fell the Of
ficer tired of prolonging the ordeal,
and seizing a whip he beat her to
death.

THE PROSPECTORS

Eager they climb and dclve and grope
Eager, though young or old.
Held by the spell of a dauntless hope
Cursed by the dream of gold.
Dreary, indeed.
Is the life they lead.
Sadder the death they die;
Leaving their bones
Mid the heartless stones,
Under the needless sky.
Ssill will the restless feet of men
Travel the rugged ways,
LTred by the same old hope again
Down to the end of days.

NO Jim CROW" LAWS.

The negroes of Indian territory have
called a delegate convention to be
held in Muskogee July 9, 10 and 1, for
the purpose of organizing with a view
to getting as many delegates as pos
sible in the constitutional convention.
Already the negroes have made up
their minds to take a hand in state
politics and they are going to demand
of the republicans that they be given
a certain number of places in the con-
vention from the districts that are
known to be republican. When the
first legislature assemblies it is pretty
certain to try to pass a Jim Grow"
law. The negroes are already trying
to prevent this.

With 100 men working on street
paving in PendIeton, and 300 to 400
on the government irrigation project
in the Cold Springs district, it seems
that business will be even better dur
ing the remainder of the year than
during the first part. Pendleton is
not yet at her best period of growth.
The men who build the irrigation pro-
ject will remain to take homesteads
and become settlers. With this set
tlement of farmers adjacent to the city
the future holds some excellent results
in store.

The lumber trust of the northwest
has not burdened San Francisco suf-
ficiently with its exorbitant prices.
The plumbers have now completely
tied up building operations with a de-
mand for 81 per day. With hundreds
of men willing to work, none but
union plumbers can work on the big
buildings, and every union man must
strike for the raise in wages So it
seems that between the lumber trust
and the labor trust, San Francisco
will have her share of trouble in re-
building. The people will tire of one
form of oppression as quickly as an
other, and trust-busting will not stop
at the money trusts, if the people once
become thoroughly awakened to the
situation.

the flag, placed at the lower right
hand corner.
But as several things remain to be
done before the new state is actually
admitted, and as the law provides
that the additional star shall only be
set in the field at the beginning of
the netx fiscal year after the state is
one in fact, the Oklahoma star viii
not be seen on an ensign until July 1,
1907, and therefore the salutes which
have been given are premature.

The Norwegians have a Dane for a
king, England has a Dane for a queen,
Greece has a Dane for king, Spain
has a Dutch girl for a queen and an
Austrian for queen mother, Russia's
ruling house is a mongrel mixture of
English and German, Germany has
more English blood in its royal family
than German blood, and Italy's rulers
are as far from being true Italians as
it is possible to be, and yet have a
semblance of a name. So it is not
much to be king of Europe after
all 1t is merely a matter of match
making. Few European people can
boast of ruler of their own blood.

At least three crops have been lost
in Umatilla county this season, and
yet there are at least $500 600 bushels
of wheat in sight. One crop was
frozen" out, one was killed" by dry
weather, and the third has been
burned up" by the hot weather of the
past week. However, it is thought
the warehouses will be ample to hold
the little that is left of the 1906 crop.

hesitation in lending their influence TO
assist in letting the public know Of the
merits of Peruna.
Nearly one-half the people are in some
way affected by catarrh. Therefore It
is almost national curse, and 1t is Of
national import that the people should
know of Peruna.
Catarrh is an American disease.
Peruna is an American remedy.
Catarrh is q result of changeable
climate. Peruna is result Of long and
careful experimentation.
Catarrb enters the system through the
nerve centers and affects the mucous
membranes. Peruna enables the nerve
ccnters to repel and expel the catarrh
from the system.
Cstarrh is a systemic disease and
cnrable only by systemic treatment.
The remedy that cures catarrh must
aim directly at the depressed nerve
centers. This is what Peruna does.
