ANOTHER MERGER.

A little hit of April
An a little bit o. June.
A little bit of August
When the day approaches noon:
a little bit o. winter
AS the sky gets cold and gray;
i little bit of everything
In one October day!
Laughin' with the sunshine
And a-tremblin' with the storm,
Complainin' cause it's chilly now,
And then because it's warm;
It keeps us all a-livin' in
4 most uncertain state
An makes a feller feel jes' like
A weather syndicate.

The condition Of Webb street along
the W. & c. r. tracks is the strongest
argument in favor of moving the
tracks outside of the business portion
Of the city. No permanent improve
ment can be made on that street as
long as the railroad is there and the
street is a disgrace to the city and
the railroad company. When the rail-
road was located on Webb street It
was done against the wishes of the
majority Of the people, in the night
time. That street was practically
"out in the country" at that time, bur
now It is in the heart Of the city and
some determined effort must be made
to have it removed. Pendleton is no
longer a country village.

TOO LONG IN PRISON.
Washington Man Not released ut End
of His Term.

Kept i'm prison for nearly year be-
yond the time he should have been re-
leased George Finley has protested to
Warden Kincaid, says the Walla Walla
Bulletin. Kincaid has written to the
attorney general for advice and the
latter rendered an opinion that Finley
should have been given his liberty
February IS, 1906.
Finley was sentenced in Yakima
county February 16, 1903, to four
years for burglary. He appealed to
the supreme court which in June,
1904, sustained the conviction. I'm
der the then existing laws the time
spent in the county Jail as well as good
time allowance should have been
counted against the sentence, but were
not so credited by the prison officials
and Finley made no kick until Janu-
airy 1, this year.
This failure on the part of the con-
vict to protest may probably save the
state a damage suit for false lmpris-
onment.

\ decision of the highest import
ance to Oregon stockmen has Just b ecn
rendered against ]. B. SwitZlcr, the
well known horscman by the supreme
court of Washington. The Walla Walla
Union says of the matter:
The decision in the case OF j. b.
Swit2ler against the Northern Pacific
railroad, tried in the. superior court
of Walla Nalla county last spring.
has been reversed by the supreme
court ard ordered dismissed The
case was instituted by Switzler to re-
cover the value of some horses pur-
chased of him by another party and
shipped from Konnewick east over
the defendant railroad.
After the horses had been shipped
he claimed to have learned that the
check given in payment for them was
worthless and that the horses had
been obtained by fraud. He notified
the railroad company to hold the
horses and not deliver them to .he
consignee, but the railroad did not
know him as a party interested in the
shipment and delivered them to the
Western Livestock company. the con-
signce. Switzler claims to have lost
the value Of the horses and sued the
railroad company to recover s1995.
The superior court decided in favor
of the plaiatiff and gave him iudg-
ment for the amount. The railroad
company appealed to the supreme
court and it decided i'm favor of the
railroad company.
It seems that prior to this tine
there had been but two decisions in
the United States on the point in
volved the supreme count of North
Carolina holding that the freight must
not be stor ped and the supreme court
of Nebraska holding that it could be.
The above decision of the Washington
| supreme court establishes the balance
| of authority that when a railroad COM
| pany accepts a shipment to a certain
named consignee. no claimant If the
property may stop the freight in tram

"These cup plates assure us that this 100-year.old china service is the real thing" said an antiquary. "They stop ped making cup plates 100 years ago. Cup plates" he went on, "show how table manners change. Now. do you know what they were for? They were to hold your dripping cup of tea-after you had poured a part of it into the saucer to drink from-so that the cloth should not be stained. Yes. in the past, everybody drank hot tea from the saucer. Kings and queens. emper- Ors and generals, all. with a gurgling sound. tilted the full saucer with care full balance to the lips. The cup. mean. while, reposed on the cup plate."-Cin- cinnati Enquirer.

A Wasp Nurse.

A story of how one wasp cared for another that had been injured is told by gentleman who. while reading the newspaper, felt bothered by the buzzing of wasp about his head and knocked it down. It fell through the open win dow and lay on the sill as if dead.
 A few seconds afterward, to his great surprise, large wasp flew to the window sill and. after buzzing around his wounded brother for a few minutes. began to feel him all over.
 The injured wasp seemed to revive under this treatment. and his friend then dragged him gently. to the edge. grasped him around the body and flew away with him. It was plain that the stranger, finding a wounded comrade. gave him aid as well as he could and then bore him away home.-London NJ. A. F.

A Crisis and a Craze.

There are two forces which cause modern England to move-a crisis and craze. Ii is far less necessary to do something that is great now in this country than it is to do something that will attract the attention of a great many. The circumstances might have had curious effect on the celebrated of the past could they have delayed cx- isting until now. For instance, Shake speare today would probably have had to attempt to swim the channel to sus- tain the attention of playgoers. Crom- well might have found it advisable to take trips in q ''navigable balloon" to keep himself before the general public, Garrick might have elected to descend from the skies in parachute to adver- tise himself satisfactorily. and it might have been necessary for the beautiful Duchess of DevOnshire. to maintain her social reputation. to figure occa- siOnally in the divorce court. Motor accidents. thefts of jewelry and of other property. fires and civil and crim- final actions are. of course. more impc-- tant clements in the building up and maintaining of a reputation" among us now than is mere excellence.-I.on- don Truth.

DO NOT KNOW WHAT
 CAUSES SICKNESS.
Modern People Have Many Names for Same
 Diseases, According to New Belief.

Does human health depend on one organ alone? This question is becom' ing widely discussed since L. T. Cooper first advanced his theory that the stomach is the true seat of life and all health dependent upon 1t.
 MT. Cooper, who has met with re. markable success in the sale of his new medicine, believes that the stom- ach is responsible for most sickness, and that this organ is weak in the present generation. While discussing this theory recently, he said: T am asked time and again to tell why my medicine has made such a record wherever I have introduced it. My answer always is, because it restores the stomach to a normal condition No one will deny that today there are more half-sick men and. women than ever before. Nothing critical seems to be the matter with them. They are just half-sick most of the time. They don't know really what is the matter with them. I have talked with thou sands during the past two years, and few knew indeed what their trouble was. One said nervousness, another said kidney trouble, another liver com. plaint, some constipation, or heart trouble, or lung trouble. Many had Eeated, as they called it, for most of these diseases at different times. A very common complaint is tall run down. or tired all the time,' or mo appetite
