HAUNTED BY OLD CRIMES.
Murderer of Family and Suicide Was
One of Dalton Gang.

Fear that his home would be at
tackled should his early life of crime
become known, Is believed to have
caused Bert McMillln to shoot and in
stantly kill his wife and two children
and then commit suicide. The trag-
edy occurred on the ranch OF Whit
more Thomas, near Labello. Mo-, and
was witnessed by two farm hands.
1t developed that McMillin was at
one time a member of the famous
Dalton gang of outlaws that terrorized
western Kansas and eastern Oklaho-
ma a few years ago and that his
brother Gus, also a member OF the
gang, was shot to death In Oklaho-
ma. Since coming here last October,
McMillin has had very little to say
to his neighbors, and II is believed
he lived In constant dread lest his
past life become known. Mrs Nc
Millin often confided to friends that
her husband was constantly worrying.
McMllin was 30 years of age and
his wife 81. They had been married
10 years.

AS a result of the heavy prohibition
vote cast in eastern oregon counties
last Monday, the o. r. & n. railroad
now traverses a long dry" stretch
through Sherman, Gillian, Morrow,
Umatilla and Union counties and the
only place at which thirsty travellers
can now secure a drink in an open
saloon between Portland and Baker
City is at The Dalles, even Arlington.
the strongest small saloon town in
eastern oregon, going dry" by a
heavy vote.
For 233 miles in one stretch from
Deschutes to North Powder, the o.
r. & n. traverses dry territory.
Deschutes is on the boundary line be-
tween Wasco and Sherman counties
and there the train enters the long
reach of prohibition territory, and
from that point until the train crosses
Powder river into Baker county, at
North Powder station, no liquor can
be sold on trains and none will be
purchasable in an open saloon after
July /.
In that 23S miles of territory, 40
saloons in railroad towns have been
voted out of existence, as follows:
Arlington, 3; Umatilla, 3; Hermiston,
/; Echo, 4; Pendleton, %; La Grande,
IL; Hilgard, /; North Powder, 1.
At North Powder where Powder
river runs through the town is the
dividing line between Baker and
Union counties, Dave Beveridge, a
pioneer saloon man is preparing to
move his building just across the river
into Baker county, 200 yards from
his present location, and declares that
he will continue in business.
However, since Baker county voted
five additional dry" precincts this
year, making a total of nine in the
county, it is the opinion of the people
of that county that the entire county
will go dry" at the next election
and perhaps sooner, should a prohi-
bition vote be requested.
AS a result of the prohibition vote
but little liquor will be handled on
dining cars hereafter and it is thought
the company will abolish the prac-
tice of carrying liquor on the cars
altogether. The territory from Una
| tilla to the Washington state line on
the Washington division of the o. R
& n. and from Pendleton to state line
will be 'dry" and so. but little liquor
business can be done on cafe cars.

OREGON VOTERS FAVOR
MANY NEW MEASURES
Recall Is Adopted and Statement No.
Is Bolstered Up-Unlverslty APP
propriation Carries.

Recall Is Adopted and Statement No.
Is Bolstered Up-Unlverslty APP
preparation Carries.
Oregon voters favor the recall, the
limiting of campaign expenditures OF
candidates, proportional representa-
ton, and the instruction of legislative
members to vote for the peoples
choice for United States senator.
By adopting the measure instruct
ing legislative members to vote for
the candidate receiving the highest
number OF popular votes for United
States senator, the people have con-
firmed statement No. 1.
The people have, apparently de-
feated the proposed increase in pay OF
members Of the legislature from SO
to $40 day and voted against the
proposed increase of judges on the su-
preme bench. The proposed COM
pulsory pass bill has been knocked
out by landslide of disapproval and
woman's suffrage has gone down to
defeat once more, the vote against 1t
being even more decisive than in the
past, when greater interest was taken
in the question. The single tax also
went down to defeat, although not so
hard as some of the other proposed
measures.
There appears to be a desire on the
part of the people to scatter state in
stitutions and not keep them all at
Salem. The idea of holding state
elections in November instead OF June
also appears to have met with gen.
eral approval. The people have voted
favorably on the referendum measure
whereby sheriffs shall receive 1914
cents meal for feeding prisoners.
The university appropriation has
carried, but was battered hard in
counties where there were large edu-
catonal institutions. The armory ap-
preparation is supposed to have
squeezed through, but by what ma
jority is not known.
From such indications as can be
gathered it is safe to assume that five
of the measures were rejected and Is
accepted. Both the fish bills passe 4
and 1t looks as though the Reddy
amendment. or 'open town" measure
had met with favorable consideration.
That grand juries and not district
attorneys should bring indictments
was the opinion of the voters and this
measure has carried. The proposed
county of Hood River will be created
and the powers of the Port of Port
| land will be increased.

and is enthusiastic over the prospects
ahead of his section. A larger acre
age of potatoes will be planted in
that favored district this year than
ever before and a larger amount of
produce will be shipped out next fall
than in any one year. The new mar
ket found in Seattle for the Weston
mountain potatoes has encouraged
the progressive people of that settle
met to grow more potatoes and here
after immense shipments will be
made from that section.

The
General Demand

Of the Well.Informed of the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant
and efficient liquid laxative remedy of
known value; laxative which physi-
clans could sanction for family use
because its component parts are
known to them to be wholesome and
truly beneficial in effect, acceptable
to the system and gentle. yet prompt,
in action.
In supplying that demand with its
excellent combination Of Syrup Of
Figs and Elixir of SIENNA, the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. proceeds along
ethical lines and relies on the merits
Of the laxative for its remarkable
success.
That is one of many reasons why
Syrup Of Figs and Elixir Of SIENNA is
given the preference by the Well
Informed. To get It's beneficial effects
always buy the genuine-manufac
tured by the California Fig Syrup Co.,
Only, and for sale by ale leading
druggists. Price Afty cents per bottle.

MAZE SALOON CLOSED
BY ATTACHMENT SUIT.

Fixtures and Stock May BE Sold to
Satisfy Debt.
The Maze saloon, on Court street,
is now closed by an attachment suit
brought against its owners, Hansen
& Olsen, by George Brewer.
The suit was brought to recover a
claim of $3.50 held by the plaintiff
and it is understood that the fixtures
and liquor stock of the saloon will
be sold by the sheriff to satisfy the
debt.
The claim against the Maze was
from a note that had been transfer
red to the plaintiff, who brought the
attachment proceedings through At
torneys Carter & Smythe.

met with eminent success wherever
introduced and is a practical and
common sense method of musical in
struction.

POSTOFFICE GROWS.
Receipts for May Are One-fourth
Greater Than Last May.

For the Month Of May just closed
the receipts at the Pendleton postof-
flee were more than 25 per cent
greater than that for the same month
last year. BY the report of Harry
Rees, assistant postmaster, just CON-
pleted, it is shown that for the past
month the total receipts of the office
were s1546.74 while for May, 1907
the receipts were but s933.60.
AS much campaign literature was
mailed out during the past month II
is probable that the increase was par
TALLY due to that cause, But 1t is
improbable that sucn an enormous
increase was caused in that manner.

GEN. GRANT GOT
THE CIGAR HABIT
ON BATTLEFIELD
Had Dropped Smoking, but
War Incident Swamped Him
With the Weed.

DETROIT, Mich, Nov. -.-Major-Gen.
Fred D. Grant. who is presiding at the
court martial now IN session at Fort
WAYNE, in the Western suburbs of this
city, said to some friends here that the
cigar that made his father, the late
President u. S. Grant, a confirmed to-
bacco smoker, figured quite strongly In
the winning of the battle of Fort Don
elson. Speaking of this incident. Gen
Grant said:
My father was in conference with
Admiral Foote on the latter's flagship
and had Just accepted a cigar from the
Admiral when word came TO him that
the left flank of his forces was being
repulsed Hurrying ashore and rushing
on horseback to the battlefield, he sue
ceeded in rallying his forces so com
pletely that chaos was turned into vic
tory. Gen Buckner had to comply
with my fathers demand for an I'M
conditional surrender.
THE newspapers took up the fact that
father had rushed from the warship to
the DattleTelu WllHpul tdhiIS NNti''i e''
Foote's cigar from his mouth. The de-
spatohes from the front told how father
had come on to the battlefield cool and
collected and peacefully smoking
long black cigar
People VINO read the story began
sending congratulations and presents Of
cigars, Tens of thousands of cigars
came. and my father smoked many of
them II made confirmed smoker of
him. But he did not smoke as many
cigars as people imagined he did. Some
times one cigar that he would frequent
" relight would last flim from break
fast to luncheon. 1t was the fact that
he almost constantly held a cigar be-
tween his fingers that made people des-
cribe him as a great smoker
Gen. Grant said that his father tried
TO acquire the smoking habit at West
Point just because the rules forbade
smoking. His attempts at smoking while
he was cadet however, made him
very sick, and when he left West Point
he practically gave them up. During
the Mexican war he took a liking to the
Mexican cigars and found that they
agreed with him, but when he returned
to the North he again dropped the
habit of smoking. TO resume it after the
Fort Donelson incident
