A Homemade curfew.

Every family should have cur
few which should positively "ring
tonight" and every night if needed.
These curfews are inexpensive and
can be homemade. Take a piece Of
siding two feet long and whittle one
end down to handle. Then take,
the child that needs the curfew and
bend him over barrel. Now take
the piece of siding in the hand and
use it for q clapper. Put it on hot.
Divide the strokes evenly and see
that none miss. Good for, boy or
girl up to the age of sixteen, and
applications are warranted to cure
the most pronounced case of street
loafng that exists. The music this
curfew makes is finer than singing

BLACK ART. IN INDIA.
The Leading imp Is Small but Moan
Out of All Proportion.

'''~~"
Out of All Proportion.
1t may not be generally known
that the black art fourishes to- q
certain extent in Southern India, es,
pecially on the west coast.
The average Malayalee Keralar
is superstitious to the very highest
degree. He considers himself to be
always under the influence of some
devil or other (the number of devils
and demigods on the west coast i;
legion), ard every house in Kerala
has temple dedicated to the patron
devil of the family.
In this country the place OF honor
is given by the superstitious Ma
lavalec to the imp Kuttichathen
who is considered by him to be the
most mischievous and frightful OF
demons. This imp is about three
feet high, with hair all over the
body and capable of any mischief
He is the most dreaded Of all and
manifests his displeasure in a thou
sand ways.
Primarily he begins with throw.
ing stones over the house OF a mar
under his displeasure. If steps are
not taken Immediately after the
preliminary stages of the manifesto
ton of his displeasure it is said the
consequences generally are very vio'
lent.
1t is said that every sorcerer has
a devil or .demigod under his com
mand to do his wishes and carry out
his commands. To get the master!
over a devil or demigod, it is said
one has to undergo severe trials
Keeping vigils, necessarily utterint
the name Of the devil or the demi
god he wishes to subdue, in crema
tories and lonely jungles, is tn
primary duty Of man who aspire'
to become sorcerer.
On the forty-frst day of the vigl
the devil will present himself to tn
candidate who aspires to take th'
degree of honors in sorcery and sur
render himself to the latter A sor
cerer who has already one devil q
his command generally aspires t.
exercise sovereignty over another.
This can only be enjoyed after
great trouble. 1t is said that tn
demon whom the sorcerer wishes =
captivate will generally ask the car,
didate to fetch inaccessible and Inn
possible things as a proof that he
sincere and capable of doing any
thing. They say that such candi
dates generally meet their deman'
through the aid of the devil alread
under command.-Indian World.

Want More Cotton to Gin

On account of insufficient sup
ply of cotton to keep US run
ming every day, beginning next
week, we will confine ourselves
to gin days. These being Tues
day, Wednesday, and Friday
of each week. The ginning pub
lie will please govern themselVs
accordingly.
While the price of seed is
somewhat off,, yet we are pay
ing more than the present con-
ditions will warrant for all the
seed accessible, that we might
control the situation here among
you. A home corporation doing
business at home for the interest
at home.
To those who do not care to
sell their seed for cash we are
offering a strictly high grade
meal in exchange. Our rate of
exchange at the mill is 1900 lbs.
of meal for one ton of seed. 1t
is a conceded fact cotton
seed meal is a cheaper and
more effective fertilizer than
cotton seed. According to
chemical analysis of each 1856
pounds of cotton seed meal
are equivalent to 1000 pounds
of cotton seed, but owing
to the superior mechanical
condition of meal, it is safe to
assume that 800 pounds of meal
are the full equivalent to one ton
of cotton seed, therefore, what
ever excess above 800 pounds of
meal thetfarmer gets in exchange
for a ton of seed is so much clear
profit to him in comparison with
using the ton of seed directly as
a fertilizer. You can readily see
that by exchanging your seed
with us you realize nearly 100
per cent on the transaction.
Bring your seed to US and not
make the mistake of getting
inferior meal elsewhere in ex-
change. i
Our meal is open for inspec-
ton. Samples sent on applica- /
ion.

THE coLoNErs STORY.
How Jim Adkins Went 10 War; Got
Buried and Was Resurrected.

How Jim Adkins Went 10 War; Got
Buried and Was Resurreeted.
"Talking about war times" said
the old colonel, "did any of you
ever hear the story of Jim Adkins :"
"No."
@Well, Pm surprised. Everybody
in the settlement knew it. Jim was
a no count sort of a fellow, and the
old man was anxious to get rid of
him. so when the war broke out and
thev were looking around for men
the old man gave him away"
"Gave him away:
eyes. Jim was in the hayloft,
and they were about to leave with
out him when the old man winked
and pointed to the barn.
"That was enough, and they got
him and marched him to the front.
"The old man was sorry after
Jim was gone, and his conscience
hurt him bad. But he hoped for
the best, until one day he got mes
sage that told him jim had been
killed and buried on the battlefield.
"Then he packed his grip and
started right off to bring Jim's body
home if possible, for the grief strick-
en- mother would have nothing else
and made. life miserable for him
with her reproaches. -
"He went to Virginia and was
there informed that it would be i'm
possible to remove the body. So he
stood over the spot where it was
buried and wept for three days.
Then he went sadly home.F
"And, 10 and behold, the first
man he met as he neared his gate
was Jim-safe, sound and right side
up with care!
'Tt was some time before the old
man could say word, but when ne
found it was really Jim-in flesh
and blood-that they had got jim
mixed up with some other Adkins,
| and he hadn't been killed at all, the
old man was hotl He slowly diyest-
ed himself of his coat, then rolled
up his sleeves and made for himl
! 1t was the liveliest scrap you eyer
saw-the old man on top and the
two of 'em wallowing in the dust!
at took the old lady and the
three girls and twQ stout darhes TO
, pull the old man of.
'He never did explain why he did
it, and Jim didn't ask any questions,
but the next morning he told nus
! mother that while his furlough
wasn't out, still he knew his country
needed him and he couldn't stand TO
| stay at home under those circum-
stances, so ne left his blessings tor
the old man and took the first tram
for the front" Atlanta Constltu-

First DRY" Sunday.

For the first time in history, Med
ford, Jacksonville, Gold Hill, Central
Point, Eagle Point and other sections
in the Rogue river valley were dry
Sunday, as the result of the moral
crusade of Sheriff Jackson. The in
novation was not taken to kindly by
the people of the various communities
but no effort was made to violate the
closing edict To add to the discom-
fort, Sunday was the hottest day ex-
perienced this autumn.
Fewer people came to Medford
Sunday than any Sunday in many
months. and a good many left the city
for the day. Hunting and fishing ex-
cursions were popular while many
took trips to Sisson and other points
over the line in California. Probably
all told there is $1,000 or $500 less
in circulation in Medford than is usu-
ally distributed here Sundays, but the
town was decent.-Southern oregon

the president and his party were TAX
en- in carriages to the Jai Alai builG-
ing, where he delivered his address.
The route lay through Washington
avenue, Twelfth street, Pine street,
Grand avenue, Lindell boulevard and
other leading thoroughfares. Flags
were flying from every staff In the
downtown section, and the city was
bright with bunting. Pictures of
President Roosevelt greeted the eye
at every turn. Crowds lined the
streets anxious for a glimpse at the
chief magistrate, and his appearance
was always the signal for tuinultuous
cheers.
After the exercises at the Jai Alai
building the president was escorted
to the Jefferson hotel, where he was
entertained at luncheon. Covers
were laid for 400 and among the
guests were the visiting governors
and numerous other persons Of note.
From the hotel the presidential par
ty proceeded at once to the wharf to
re-embark on the Mississippi.
The departure was the signal for
another great river demonstration
similar to tina which had been greet
ed the presidents arrival in the
morning. Scores of boats will accom-
pany the presidents boat down the
river as far as Cairo, which is to be
the next stopping point and which
will be reached according 70 schedule
at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning.

Late yesterday evening Harvey K.
Brown, ex-sheriff of Baker county,
who was so horribly mangled by a
nitro-glycerine bomb in the hands Of
a midnight assassin Oil Monday night,
died at st. Elizabeth's hospital after
a day of untold suffering.
There is absolutely no clew to the
murderers and the officials are COM
pletely lost when considering the case.
There is nothing by which the crimi-
nal may be traced and he may remain
undisturbed in Baker City for months
If he keeps his own counsel and does
not have too many friends in his Sc
cret.
All the evidence remaining that
would be of any service to the police
in detecting the crime are the brass
knuckles and the wire which were
found in the alley from where the
bomb was exploded.
Mute evidences of the terrific force
OF the explosion are to be seen in
the shattered gate posts and fence.
the broken windows of the Brown
residence and 'he ghastly rent in the
earth made b. the bomb.
Brown Blamed the Federation.
With his dying breath, yesterday
afternoon, Brown blamed the crime
upon the Western Federation of Min
ers. In a lucid moment before he
finally lapsed into unconsciousness,
he said he had been shadowed, and
that he felt that he would be marked
for destruction If he remained in
Baker.
He had planned to spend the win
ter in California and was preparing
for the trip last week.
He leaves wife and one daughter,
the latter aged 13, both of whom are
prostrated by the terrible fate of the
husband and father.

TELLS OF VIOLATIONS.
Many Names of Shippers of Goods Do
Not Comply With Law

Chicago. Oct. 2.-President Moffett
of the standard Oil company of Indi-
ana, spent 80 minutes before the
gra I'd jury yesterday telling all he
knew of the violations of the inter-
state shipping law in prohibiting re-
bates. He said he would have names
of shippers who have shipped goods
over the Chicago & Alton road under
conditions which resulted in the
Standard Oil fine.

The refusal of Judge Whitson to
grant the motion is evidence that the
absolute innocence of Borah is not
certain and that the court believed
that he should stand trial on the
charges against him.
1t is admitted by many men promi-
nent in Boise today that the denial
of Whitson to instruct for acquittal
will kill Borah politically in the state,
inasmuch as 1t is tacit statement
from the court that the senator's In
nocence is doubted.

That the o. r. & n. company will
place a new passenger train in SER
vice between Pendleton and Portland
to accommodate their extraordinary
traffic now seems assured. according
to authoritative reports from Port
land.
Agent Quinlan of the o. R. n.
offices in this city, has not been Of
ficially notified Of the installation OF
the new train service, but 1t is known
TO be fact that a new time card Is
now in preparation and that a new
train between this city and Portland
will be placed upon the new card.
The Oregon Daily Journal OF
Tuesday announces authoritatively
on information received in the gem
eral passenger agents office in Port
land that the Pendleton Portland
passenger train will be placed in SER
vice on Sunday, October 6. The
Journal says
A new daily train between Portland
and Pendleton will be put on by the
make its first trip next Sunday. The
principal object is to accommodate
local traffic at all points, and relieve
the Oregon travelling public Of the
hardship attending the uncertainty of
the regular trains operated on through
schedules to Huntington.
The local train will be substituted
for the present train that makes the
run to Biggs. The running time of
the new train will be as follows:
Leave Portland every morning at
7:15. and Pendleton at o'clock. Ar
rive at Portland at Sis p. m. and
Pendleton at 4:10 p. m.
The train will consist of locomo-
tive, baggage car and three coaches.
The train will stop for lunch az
Heppner junction and The Dalles. IT
is believed that later on the company
will further improve the service, add
ing special cars for the comfort of the
travellers, and catering especially tn
short tours through the Columbia
river gorge by the local public.
The new service is result of spe-
cial investigation made by General
Passenger Agent McMurray and As
sistant General Passenger Agent
Scott, who are making unusual ef-
forts to improve the service in many
details. The result Of their efforts
is seen on nearly every line runRing
out Of Portland.
Increased train service on the o.
r. & N main line never was go plain-
ly essential as has been shown by
the colonist travel this fall During
the month of September this class
Of travel broke the record of home
seeker travel on the Pacific coast.
Figures for the entire month now be-.
ing compiled will show mere than
100 per cent increase ovor the col
onist travel Of September a year ago.
