Such a man was in Pendleton this

cattle were perishing from the cold
while he was in Pendleton.
When he received a message here
saying that one herd of 1900 head

The. action of the Idaho Legislature
in voting down the railroad commis-

That Idaho needs railroad regulation

THE NEW AGE.

When navies are forgotten
And fleets are useless things.
When the dove shall warm her bosom
Beneath the eagles wings,
When memory Of battles
At last is strange and old.
When nations have one banner
And creeds have found one fold,
When tho hand that sprinkles mid
night
with its powdered drift of suns
Has hushed this tiny tumult
OF sects and swords and guns.
chen Hates last note of discord
In all Gods worlds shall cease,
In the conquest which is service,
In the victory which Is peace!

In one place, it will be equally potent

The people generally are very much
misinformed as to the nature of cstarrh.
Catarrh is usually believed to be con-
fined to the head, nose and throat.
Lately we sometimes hear of catarrh of
the stomach and catarrh of the bowels.
Seldom, if ever, do we hear Of catarrh
of any other organs.
1t is not because these organs are not
subject to catarrh, nor that catarrh OF
these organs is not very common dis
ease, but simply because it is not gener-
ally known that affections of these
organs may be due 10 catarrh.

MIDDLETON'S OPINION.

Coach Middleton, of Idaho, voices
the fc flowing opinion of the Pull
man-St. Louis football.
Northwest football has been
given a high standing by the game
between W.S.C. and St. Louis. 1t
was the first chance l have had Of
comparing middle west football
with the game put up by the North
west, and I am convinced, from the
game at Natatorium park, that
they are about equal. One must
take into consideration the fact that
the St. Louis team had travelled a.
long distance and was in different
altitude. That was a handicap.
Con the other hand, Pullman.
clearly outplayed the Missourians'
and won by score of II to o, or
two touchdowns. That score will
surely make up for any handicap
St. Louis may have had on account
of the changed condition. Giving
the latter little the better of it, l.
believe the two teams, playing I'M
der equal conditions, would be as
nearly equally matched as possible"
81 watched the playing OF the
visitors closely and admired their
beautiful formations and the rapid
ity with which they got into act
ion. 1t was a good team Pullman
beat and it was also team playing
good football, but W.S.C. outplayed
the southerners. Their victory was
clean cut and decisive.
after seeing the two teams IN
action and comparing the two sec
tons as a result of the game, L
would say the northwest has just as
good men, Just as stubborn a de-
tense, just as fierce an attack, and
surely just as game spirit as the
middle west. 1t was a revelation
to me, and it has doomed northwest
football as nothing else could.

A SCOTCH STORY.

Recalling to mind a family l knew
when a girl. The Scotchman when
taking his "bairns" to be baptized,
usually spoke of them as 'laddies"
or Classics as the case might be.
At last his wife told him he must
not speak of them as such but as
"infants. The next time that
Sandy had occasion to go to the
clergyman the latter said:
"Weel Sandy is it laddie?"
Its nae a laddie," was the an
SWer.
"Then it's a lassie?"
cts nae lassie," said Sandy.
"Weel, mon, what is it then"
said the astonished preacher,
81 dinna remember vera weel,"
said Sandy, but think the wife
said it was an illifant."
The clergyman finally found out
that it was an infant he was ex-
pected to baptize.

The Smell of the Dawn.

OF all hours of the day there is none
like the early morning for downright
good odors-the morning before eat

the mists and the moisture seem to re-
tain the doors which they have dis

breezy morning one is likely to get
single predominant odor, as of clover
when the wind blows across bayfield,

THE NEGRITOS.
Odd Marriage Ceremony OF These
Barbarous Little People.

Odd Marriage Ceremony Of Thess
Barbarous Little People.
Belonging as they do to the lowest
type of civilization as yet discovered,
the Negritos OF Malaysia and their
ways are we'll worth studying. Simple,
primitive, barbarous little people their
customs are those Of prehistoric man.
They have no fixed home or settle
ments. but are wanderers over their
mountainous Islands, sleeping under
banana leaf, living on herbs and ber-
ries and game.
Their marriage ceremony is n unique
survival Of early life. The suitor and
a few companions dance about the
shelter of the desired girl. There is
n curious resemblance between the
dances of the prospective bridegroom
and those of many Of the game birds
of our woodland. Finally the girl, ac-
companied by her mother, starts to-
ward the dwelling of the young men.
They frequently stop. squatting in the
trail while the ardent suitOr and his
companions continue their entreating
and bewitching dances. winding round
and round the girl. Presents are gen
orally demanded and must be given
before the reluctant bride will pro-
coed. Finally the women arrive near
steep bamboo platform. A wild
shout plerces the air, and the bride
groom. like a frenzied animal, tears
through the Negritos assembled at the
base of the platform, snatches the
bride in his arms and flies up the in
cline with his mate, where they sit
during the wedding feast.-New York

over the scene-so thick, indeed, that
one could hardly see his hand before
his face. The arrangements for the
duel required that it should be fought
at thirty-five PAGES.
Nor was the fog the only circum-
stance that tended to place the com

THE GREEN SUN.
Il Was Noticed and Commented Upon

II Was Noticed and Commented Upon
by the Ancient Egyptians.
The appearance of a green light at
sunset was noticed and commented
upon bv the ancient Egyptians and
more particularly so because in the
clear air Of Egypt the tints of sunset
are peculiarly distinct.
AS the sun there descends nearer
and nearer to the horizon and Is im-
mensely enlarged and flaming. It sud-
denly becomes for an instant bril-
liantly green color and Immediately

times. just as the last part OF the suns
Gisk vanishes. its color changes from
green TO blue. and so also after It has
disappeared the sky near the horizon
often is green, while toward the zenith
It is blue.

writings. Day was the emblem Of life
and night that OF death. and the noe

collins of the high HrioTts Of Ammon

There are innumerable instances In

relative to death being colored green.
