For nine innings Saturday afternoon
ut the driving park diamond rival
teams representing tho minister's and
parochial teachers OF the Missouri sy-
nod meeting in Norfolk fought out the

Every year that the synod meets
there Is an outbreak OF healthy base

In evidence Saturday afternoon hasn't
been seen on the Norfolk diamond this
summer.
The order of past years was turned
aside Saturday afternoon and 1t was
the teachers who walked from the field
with the wreaths of victory. The
teachers have been watching for Sat
urday's game. Most of the younger
teachers have played together at Sew
ard college, They were younger men
than the ministers and their arms and
eyes were just n little quicker and
surer than the ministerial arms and
eyes.
But II was a great game and pitch
ers' game. Rev. Il. Eggers struck out
seventeen men: Adolph Ritzmann
slaughtered fifteen ministers. And the
two speedy pitchers figured in the
scoring. Eggers registered with two

two two-baggers.
The teachers established their lead

be denied. The crowd attending the
game was drawn largely from Nor

The weather during the first two
days of the week was sunshiny and
warm, ard the maximum tempera-

vailed thereafter.
The rains were very light until
Sunday evening, when nearly a third
of an inch fell in the Willamette val
ley and greater amounts were re-
ported in the coast counties. The
cloudiness during the afternoons
caused unusually low maximum tenn
peratures. but the nights as a rule
were mild except in few eastern
counties on Saturday morning, when
1t became temporarily clear and the
temperature sunk low enough to
cause light frosts, but they did no
damage OF consequence. The sun
shine was greatly deficient. There
were several windy days, but no de-
structive winds occurred.

Surveying Through Oregon.

A number of che. crews of surveyors
for the oregon Eastern railway, the
route over the Cascades to klamath
Falls and across central Oregon to
Ontario, arrived yesterday, says the
Eugene Register. More are looked
for today, and the chief engineer, C.

delay now and the work will go on
right to completion.

THE MASK OF HEALTH.
Few People Are Really AS Well As

Many people in Pendleton both
men and women, who believe them
selves to be in perfect health, are Of
ten in the greatest danger.
Indigestion, which is so common q
trouble, is the principal cause of the
greater share of the general poor
health. 1t has misleading symptoms
that seem to have no reference to
the stomach, such as headache, Sleep
lessness, specks before the eyes. pains
in the back and side, etc.
The success Of physicians every
where with the prescription that is
now embodied In Mi-o-na stomach
tablets has made this remedy in the
last few years the acknowledged spe-
cific for the treatment Of stomach
diseases. The secret Of this success
lies in the fact that Mi-o-na is pre-
pared expressly to strengthen the d.
gestive organs and its use for a few
days puts the whole digestive sys-
tenn in such shape that 1t can care
for all of the food that is eaten with
out pain or distress.
Simply take Mi-o-na stomach
tablet before each meal and on re-
tiring, and II will so strengthen the
stomach that you can enjoy n hearty
meal without the least fear of dis
tress or suffering.
Tallman & Co. givee an absolute
unqualified guarantee that your mon
cy Will be refunder unless Mi-o-na
cures. They take the whole risk and
the remedy will not cost you a PEN
ny unless It cures you.

COLUMBIA River rhrice x.ned

The Columbia river has had three
names. 1t was first called the Oregon.
Afterward 1t was called the St Rogue,
but when 1t was discovered by Robert

the two floating appellatioas, Oregon
