Anderson Still in Jail.

The negro, John Anderson, who
was arrested in Augusta last week
for the murder of Willie Cutter at
Midway nearly two years ago, is still
in Jail. No attempt to get bond for
him has been made nor is likely to
be. Anderson says that Isaiah Bart
lev shot Cutter, and BARLEY says that
Anderson did the killing. BARLEY
was tried and sentenced to four years
on the chain gang, but he appealed
to the Supreme Court, and his case
will not be heard until after the No.
vember term of the circuit court
here. The trial of Anderson ought
to be postponed until after Bartley's
appeal has been decided by the Su-
preme Court.

Prof. Calhoun Resigns.

1t is with regret that the people Of
WATERFORD will learn that Prof. G. K.
Calhoun has rendered his resignation
as principal of the graded school here
to become effective at once.
The first knowledge of such lnten-
ton came day or two ago in let
ter from Prof. Calhoun to the secre-
tary of the board, stating that he felt
his duty to his parents required that
he should give up teaching and re-
main with them, and that he had ac-
cepted a position in Greenwood. 1t
is not known yet who will succeed to
the principalship of the school,

Reunion of Company q.

The annual reunion of Company
G took place at Bethesda church last
Thursday. There was a large crowd
present, and the old soldiers had a
big time generally. The orator of
the day was D. S. Henderson, of
Aiken, and those present say he made
a fine speech. A picnic dinner was
had on the grounds, and of course it
was good one. A sad feature Of
the occasion was that only about ten
or twelve of the survivors of the
company answered to roll call, show
ing that the ranks of the veterans
are getting thinner each year.

FREE TRIP TO EXPOSITION.
Moye's Voting Contest Will Give
Valuable Prizes to Contestants.

Well, it is still going on. The contest
is not yet over, and Moye's is still the
place to do your drinking and voting.
The past week has witnessed a great
hot wave and the people are drinking
and they are voting some, however they
are holding their votes for the great
week end rush, and the contestants
have nothing to brag on in any of the
contests, that is they have no majority
enough to make it at all certain as to
who will be the winner.
There is always chance for the most
popular young lady and no matter how
far any one else is ahead, get, in the
race and make the one who is the most
popular in your estimation win. The
handsome prizes are enough to make
any one want to be declared the most

Wild Bull chases Real Autos.

The speed laws are being broken
with impunity by motorists IN red cars
near Winsted, Conn. An infuriated
Guernsey bull escaped recently and
has since been at large at Barkham-
sted, chasing every red auto that
passes through. A sign has been post
ed warning persons in red cars to be-
ware Of the bull, and they need no fur

HOIST BY BARNUM'S PETARD.
Famous Old Circus Mortar Shoots Boy
Into an Apple Tree.


Into an Apple Tree.
The shade Of P. T. Barnum, the once
great Snowman, probably received a
shock when his famous old mortar went
off unexpectedly while some lads were
playing with it at South NorWalk'
Conn.
One Of them, Henry Remson, was
shot fifty feet into the top Of an apple
tree. Young Remson did not have the
art Of aerial fight we'll mastered, nor
did be have the selection Of a landing
place, and it will be a week before ne
leaves his bed.
George L. Britton, owner Of the relic,
did not know the thing was loaded"
and is threatened with a suit for dam
ages.
Barnum made a big hit with the can
non in it's day. There was a fake ex-
ploslon and then a powerful spring
would shoot a fair maiden up to the
top Of the canvas.

EDITORIALS ARE u.
{ WRITTEN IN JAIL
PILOT ROCK EDITOR
CONTINUES HIS WORK
Standard of the Editorial Page Of the
Pilot Rock Record Is Maintained,
Although It's Editor Is Confined I'm
Umatilla County Jail-TO Many
Writers Good Work Would Be I'M
possible in Such Surroundings.

Perhaps the first and only editori-
ais ever written in a Jail in eastern
Oregon are now written by Editor
John P. McManus for his Pilot Rock
Record, while confined in the Umatil-
la county Jail awaiting trial for shoot
ing Bob Estes in this city some time
ago.
Mr.. McManus, while not able to per-
sonally direct his paper, writes the
editorial in Jail and that his ability
as an editorial writer has not been
impaired by his surroundings is
shown in the character of the editor
ials written by Mr.. McManus in his
confinement
To many people who do excellent
editorial work ordinarily 1t would be
utterly impossible to do any meri-
torious work in such surroundings,
where a dozen noisy prisoners were
performing all kinds of stunts to drive
away ennui, homesickness and lone
Illness.
But to McManus the task presents
little or no embarrassment and the
standard of the Pilot Rock Records
editorial page is maintained, although
Pilot Rock is not the abiding place
of its ruling spirit.

GLEE CLUB APPRECIATED.
Pendleton Academy Girls Well Re,
ceived at Irrigon and Echo.

The Girls Glee club of Pendleton
academy, under direction of Prof f.
X. Noordhoff, returned home this
morning after successful trip to Ir-
rlgon and Echo, at both of which
places the club was we'll received and
highly appreciated. The Irrigon Irri-
gator pays the club the followinp
merited compliments:
The Pendletop Academy Glee club
gave an entertainment at the church
last evening and the house was packed
to the doors. in fact about everybody
in town was there,
To say that this was the finest and
most enjoyable entertainment ever
witnessed in Irrigon would be draw
ing 1t mild, for Irrigon is not a large
place and has MT hal many entertain
ments of n high order. But i, Will
be many days before we again have
as enjoyable an occasion as we had
last night.
Prof Noordhoff should feel very
great pride in his pupils, and the
academy may likewise he felicltated
for Paving among it's students such a
p"ry of beauty aG1 talent.
1t Is to be hoped that the acade-
my will send this club out often. for
should they come here again our peo-
pie would gladly pay double the price
they did last night, and then feel
that they had secured admission all
too cheap.

Large Sale OF Mules.

I'D. McKennon today delivered 40
head of young mules which he sold to
a walla walla buyer, who VIII sell
them to the farmers Of that section
Of the country, says the La Gfahde
Observer. 1t was a novel sight to see
the band of 40 head passing through
the streets this afternoon on their way
to the corrals. This is undoubtedly
the largest sale of mules ever made in
the county by one man, and the price
received, $4,000, shows that there is
money in raising mules. Most Of these
animals were 8 years old and the band
averaged s125 per head. Most Of the
animals were raised by Messrs. Nc
Kennon & Leadbetter, only few be-
ing purchased.

the subject as follows
That the trainmen and conductors
cred seriously calling a strike is the
gist Of answers given to questions to-
day by II. c. Grady chairman of the
Conductors Union of the Ogden
Railroad Il Navigation company,
who is here OH his way to the Chi
cago conference.
"The report that We are going to
strike" he said, "is all bosh. There
never has been a majority of strike
voters during the taking of the ref
ererdum vote, which is now about
concluded. My personal opinion is
the matter will not even have to go
SO far as to be submitted to arbitra-
ton.
"The main question at issue was
whether the conductors should re-
ceive the flat SO month raise Of
fered by the roads in lieu of the per-
centage increase they demanded. 1
think ut the coming conference the
conductors will get the percentage
scale, but with a slight reduction
from what was originally asked
Mr.. Grady spoke freely of the help
the conductors had received from
Vice-President Mohler, of the Union
Pacific, who represented the Harri-
man lines. Mr.. Mohler, Mr. Grady
declared, was one of the few real
friends the trainmen had at the con-
ference.

who wss killed Saturday evening In
washington while standing on fender

b. a norlhboupd car rnnning into it,
Yesterday decided that bis death Was due
TO the negligence Of Sidney q. Lucas
and Jesse Shreeves, motorman and con.
ductor, respectively, Of the northbound
car. From the evidence given by Bruce
Rabentbal, motoTman OF the southbound
car. towhom Rssson was talking when
struck, and others, 1t appeared that this
car was standing on a switch waiting Tor
the northbound car 10 pass. The latter
car approached at rapid speed and
crashed into the other, the switch not
being properly set, Both Of Rosson's
legs were ground TO pulp, and he died
shortly sfterwsrd. While the jury held
that the accident vas due to the negli-
gence of Lucas and Shreeyes In not see
ing that the switch was properly set
before getting up speed, 1t did not hold
them for the action Of the grand jury.
If any steps are taken to prosecute them
it will be at the option Of the District
Attorney. Rosson's funeral took place
from the Baptist church at Thirty rst
and N streets, Washington, last night,
