BOYS MOST HORRIBLE FATE.
Had Hydrophobia Three Months After Being
Bitten By Pet Dos-Another Child Taken
to Atlanta.

FERNAND1NA, Nov. At. S. Weeks,
the 1O-year-old son of Mrs. |. Weeks
of this city, died on Saturday from
the effects of dog bite which oc-
Cured over three months ago: The
little fellow became i'll last Wednes-
day and remained at home from
school on Thursday and Friday. He
became delirious during Friday
night, and on Saturday morning fell
into terrible convulsions. The cir
cumstances seemed so peculiar that
consultation of physicians was held
Immediately. All pronounced it a
we'll developed case of hydrophobia.
Thesshild's sufferings were agoniz-
ing, and it took five strong men to
hold him when the paroxysms came
on. During the intervals he asked
for water but could not take it, con-
vulsions distorting his body. All the
aid known to medical science was ad,
ministered, but to no avail. He died
rather suddenly, at a little after 3
o'clock Saturday afternoon. The
funeral services were held yesterday
from the home Of his mother. A
large attendance Of sympathlzlng
friends and relatives and the school
children of the grade to which the
little boy belonged, attending. Much
sorrow for the unfortunate and sor-
rowing family were extended IN this
terrible and unusual calamity which
has befallen them. The dog which
has been responsible for the death OF
little T. S. Weeks, was small, moi
fensive house dog belonging to Mr..
Mann, and neither before nor since,
has showed any indications whatever
of anything like madness.
It is said that several other child
rem were snapped at by the animal at
the time he bit T. S. Weeks. The
children were playing with the dog
and when he jumped at them, seizing
the Weeks boy by the thumb, the
wound was nothing but a scratch
which drew little blood, and no
more was thought about the matter:
Little Howard Kelly, the son OF
John Kelly, was the victim OF slight
scratch from the dog at the same
time that T. S. Weeks was attacked.
Since the terrible death of the lat
ter, Mr.. Kelly growing alarmed, has
taken his little son to Atlanta for
possible treatment, or examination
at the Pasteur institute there.
The dog, while still manifesting no
evidence whatever of anything ap-
preaching hydrophobia, was killed,
and the head sent to the Pasteur IN
institute for examination yesterday
evening. -,
Later news is that a cat was killed
at the Weeks house this morning
which had suddenly developed mad,
ness. No one has as yet connected
the death of the child to any happen
ing but the probable result Of the
dog scratch, occurring at least three
months back.
This death and its attendant hor-
ror of distress, and the anxiety that
exists in the breasts of the. parents
of the children who were with I: 5:
Weeks at the time that he received
his wound from the dog have excited
much sorrowful comment and talk
among the townspeople, and every
where are heard expressions of in:
tense sympathy with the bereaved
widowed mother and the brothers
and sistersleft to mourn his untimely
death.-Jacksonville Times-Union,

MELANCHOLIA.

Physicians of Pendleton and else
where in eastern Oregon say that
there is more melancholia this spring
than ever before in the history of their
practice.
The gloomy weather, the sunless
days, the depressing atmosphere, the
frequent rains and cold winds have
combined to depress many sensitive
and high-strung people. They have
become ill without cause and have no
distinguishable illness. They are de-
pressed, restless, discontented, peev-
ish, sullen and dissatisfied with them
selves and everything about them.
1t is melancholia suggested by the
depressing, gloomy weather of the
past month. There is no cure for it
except to cheer up. 1t is suggested
by surroundings and can only be
thrown off by vigorous personal ac-
tivity and will power.
Medicine is of no avail.

THE INSURANCE CRAZE.

No other people in the world toler-
ate so many insurance companies and
concerns as those of the United States.
Every day marks the birth of some
new scheme of insurance which ap-
peals to the people and takes an enor-
nous revenue from them.
Most of the new ones now coming
into existence are old insurance
schemes in new dress and new name,
revamped and renovated in order to
give a new set of agents, officials
and investors a chance at the people.
Millions upon millions have been
collected from the public in insurance
schemes for which there has been alb
solutely no need. The score or more
of fraternal societies. and the we'll
established insurance companies offer
ample protection to the people and it
is an imposition to inflict so many
new schemes, all calling for additional
outlay, upon the public.
Insurance is all right. Every man
| should carry insurance, but it is ter
rible burden upon the people to MAIN
which is growing up in the country.
The time will perhaps come when

a restriction upon this business. The
enormous wealth accumulated by the
insurance companies is a menace. 1t
has become a power, which, like the
Standard Oil company, can arbitrarily
control legislation, finances and poll
tics, in its strongholds.

SENATOR U'REN.

While w. S. U'Ren of Oregon City,
has not been prominently mentioned
in the pres of Oregon as a candidate
for the United States senate before
the primaries next year, yet it is a
fact that he is a most formidable fig
ure in the senatorial arena.
He made Jonathan Bourne possible.
As father of the initiative and refer
endum, he has been before the people
for years. He has been populist, re-
publican, "greenbacker." He has
brought forth to the light of day more
initiative petitions for reform meas
ures in Oregon than any other man.
If Jonathan Bourne appreciates in
any small degree the service which
U'Ren has rendered him, the Bourne
purse strings will be opened for
U'Ren's campaign. That will mean
his election in the primaries, for
Bourne has had the experience of one
successful campaign and would know
how to conduct a campaign on win
ming lines.
With URen's personality and rec

The damaging testimony against
Binger Hermann shows that he is not
the victim of political persecution.
Clerks employees and public officials
who have been connected with the
general land office. have sworn that
Hermann wilfully betrayed his trust
as a public official. 1t is unfortunate
for Hermann and for the state. The
people trusted Hermann and kept him
in office for a quarter of century,
despite the repeated accusations of
his political opponents. The partisan
press, chief of which is the Oregon
ian, has whitewashed him in the past,
but no whitewash can be applied now.

FARM ALCOHOL.

When farmers learn the process Of
making alcohol out of waste farm
products, they will have at hand the
cheapest and best agency for power
that has yet been discovered.
Corn, potatoes and many other or
dinary farm material can easily be
made into denatured alcohol, a guam
titp Of which may be kept on hand
for running the necessary machinery,
either for pumping water, saving
wood Or many other purposes for
which power Is convenient around
the farm.
The law as passed at first had
some defects which had to be reme-
died, but these were patched up as
soon as discovered, and the new law
will DE effective next September. The
amount of alcohol farmer can
make In day is limited to 100 gal
Ions, which ought to be enough for
any purpose. After farmers get fa-
miliar with the process Of manufac-
ture, 1t is believed that the use of al
cohol will become general-Live-

THE REGENERATED WEST.

Shoshone, Idaho, closed up the gam
bling dens of that town and arrested
IS gamblers. Last week Fort Worth,
Texas. drove out the gamblers. Every
day some western town or city comes
to its senses and stops the licensed
robbery of its people.
This is not a temporary moral
spasm which has struck the west. 1t
is genuine moral regeneration. 1t is
an awakened public conscience.
Gambling will never be permitted
again in any of the leading towns and
cities which have closed it down re-
Gently. A new set of people has come
into power. A clearer idea of civiliza-
tion has imbued the public mind.
Heretofore it was impossible for
many public officials to be elected
without the aid of the gambling and
saloon element. Hereafter that ele-
ment will not Ne seriously considered.
The awakened public conscience will
support men who have performed
their duties and who deserve support
on moral grounds.

RIGGS AND RAGGS.

Riggs and Raggs are chopping wood,
At it every day;
Riggs says his returns are good.
Rags can't make 1t pay.
Says the woods so hard and tough,
Do the best he can,
He can't scarcely make enough
To support a man.
At the corner grocery store.
Every evening, Raggs,
With a half a dozen more.
Sits and makes his brags
OF the winner he would be
If he had a chance!
"Course, while chopping wood" says
he
mo one can advance"
But while thus the idle 'Jacks" .
Waste their time and shirk,
Riggs is sharpening his AK
For the morrow's work;
Giving 1t an edge so sure
He can cleave his way
Where the one whose AK is poor
Cannot make it pay.
All the world is choppng wood,
And while rusty wits
(Why, is clearly understood,)
Never make the hits"
Those who polish all the dross
From their book-rubbed brains
Change that which might prove a loss
Into golden gains.

lands a telling blow upon the heads
of those opposed to Indian costumes
for the girls, in saying that the only
statue in honor of woman in the state
of oregon is statue of the Indian
woman, Sacajawea.
To the men Of Oregon who are op-
posed to Indian costumes for the Or
egon girls as an advertising feature
for the state at the jamestown eXposi-
ton, this reminder should be a crush
ing body blow.
If the men of oregon who are going
into spasms at the thought of furn-
ishing Indian costumes for Cooper's
Oregon girls are really so patriotic
and love the women of Oregon so
fervently rs they pretend, why are
not more honors and privileges shown
the women of the state by them?
A lot of the gallantry that is heard
in the press is mockery. II viii not
injure oregon nor the jolly girls in
the Cooper party if they wear Indian
costumes on parade at the exposition.
People of the east are not so dense
as to believe that the Indian costume
is the only one worn by Oregon wo-
men. Virginia remembers her Poca-
hontas and will experience thrill of
delight at seeing the splendid girls
from the Pacific coast in the costume

DIGS THROUGH THE
SNOW BANKS TO
REACH HER
CLAIMS
THRILLING EXPERIENCE
OF MRS. JOHN VANCE
In Which Ninety Day Option is Taken
on Her Rattle Snake and Golden
Eagle Claims at Disaster

Digging through great banks of
snow on Disaster Peak in order to
reach her mining claims that she IN; ght
show them to a couple of mining men
from Boise, was the thrilling expert
ence of Mrs John Vance, the well
known mining woman and station
keeper OF the northwestern section of
Humboldt county. The purpose for
which the arduous trip was made was
attained and the mining men satis'
fed with the character of the ore,
took ninety day option on the Gold

Vance, who arrived in Winnemucca
last Saturday evening on her way to
San Francisco, where her presence is
necessary in some real estate deals
that are pending, stated:

ences in my life, but none to equal

set out. We were forced to dig
through the snowbanks in many place
on The trail and we linked ouselves TO
gether with ropes wnen taking mar
row passes. We were two days II

prospective purchasers have put up q
handsome sum to hold the option, il
