the Wallowa River and the Other
Will Go TO Joseph-Proceeds VIII
Be Devoted to the Trainmen's
Home in Illinois.

Elaborate arrangements have been
made by the o. R. & N. trainmen for
two big trainmen's excursions next
Sunday. Both trains will be run out
of La Grande, one going to Joseph
and the other to the junction of the
Ninam and Wallowa.
The train to Joseph leaves La

Joseph at $3.50, making it possible for
all the excursionists to see the beau
tiful and far-famed Wallowa lake.
The train that goes 10 the Minam
will leave La Grande a half hour later
and returning will leave the Minam
at o'clock, thus practically making
the entire day available for fisher
men on one of the best trout streams
in the northwest. Many Pendleton
people, especially fishermen, are
planning to take one or the other of
these trains, as by leaving here on
the early train Sunday morning they
can make the trip with ease, return
ing on No. 5 Sunday night.
The round trip fare for the Minam
excursion will be $3.50, while that to
Joseph will be 81 additional Per-
sons going from Pendleton can make
the trip without great expense by
purchasing the regular summer ex-
cursion ticket to Meacham and then
paying the additional rs cents from
there to La Grande.
These will not only be the first ex-
cursions this year, but trainmen say
they will be the best. The proceeds
of the excursion will be for the ben
eft Of the trainmen's home which is
maintained in Illinois.

Bear Visits the Home Of Sidney Holt

Mr.. Sidney Holt and family, who live
near Este, Russell county, are satisfied
that they entertained bear one night
last week.
The hall door leading to an upstairs
room was left open Internationally.
Some time during the night bear, Mr..
Holt and family declaring that there
can be no mistake about it, visited the
premises. 1t entered the hall and pass
ed up stairway and went into va
cant room at the head of the steps. In
the room was bed. number of pic
lures hanging on the walls and also a
dress belonging to. Mrs. Holt. During
the night Mr.. Holt heard noise in the
room, but he supposed it was made by
one of his boys or workhand who had
come in to retire. Such, however, was
not the case. The bear, or whatever
it was, left the room about a o'clock in
the morning, as it was heard going out
When daylight came Mr.. Holt went to
the room to discover all the pictures
torn from the walls and the prints of
bear claws could be plainly seen. Mrs.
Hollis dress was also torn into strings.
Turning to the bed, it showed plainly
that it had been slept on and there
were bear hairs on the bedclothing.
The intruder had been gone several
hours when Mr.. Holt got up, and hav-
ing no dogs, he made no effort to track
it, but he is fully convinced that he en-
tertained bear.
We understand that bears, are known
to be in the hills of Cumberland county,
and it is believed that this one came
from that section.

Special to the News.

Special to the News.
Itsaca, Hill County, Tex Dec. IL =
Word was received here Friday night
by phone of the death of R P. Edring-
ton, president of the First State Bank
of Hillsboro.
Mr.. Burlington was for years a resi-
dent of ltasca, and had been identified
with the city and the county for years,
occupying a prominent place in all pro-
motions for the social and commercial
good OF this community. Mr. Edrington
was born in Kentucky, Mays, 1848;was
educated at Columbia College and in the
Kentucky University. He first settled
In Files Valley in the cattle business
He was one of the organizers of the
Farmers National Bank of Hillsbore
and was its first cashier. In 1890 he, in
company with others, organized the
ltasca Banking Company, which was
nationalized into the First National
Bank the same year. He afterward or
ganized the Citizens National Bank of
ltasca and was its president until the
sale to the First National Bank three
years later.
At his death Mr.. EdringtoD was presi-
dent of the First State Bank of Hills
boro, vice president of the Itasca Ma
tional Bank of ltasca, he was direct
or in the Itasca Cotton Mill, trustee of
the Switzer Woman's College and Con-
servatory of Music, was trustee of the

DR.. E. A. Wassener.

1t will be gratifying to his many
friends to know that DR.. E. A. Wag-
gener, who came to Columbia about
ten months ago, to make this place his
permanent home, was, last week, by
the un animous vote of the State Board
of Health, granted certificate to prac-
tice his profession throughout Kentucky.
1t is knows that Dr. Waggener is
an eminently qualified surgeon and ply
sician, but having been living in the
West for good many years, it was
necessary for him to have his diplomas
examined by the State Board, he having
graduated from the University of
Louisville; Bellview College, New York
City; Prof Loome's Clinical School of
Belleview Hospital. He had also taken
two postgraduate courses.
Notwi tn stan ding he had all
these documents of qualifications he
was compelled to wait all these months
for the Board to act However, he
wanted to comply to the laws govern
ing the organization, and he is perfect
ly satisfied with the result. His old
friend, DR.. U. Montgomery, a native
of Adair county, but who practices in
Louisville, accompanied DIR. Waggener
before the Board, and his statement
and the papers presented were all that
was necessary. DR.. Waggener consid-
ers that the Board passed high com
pliment upon him when it voted unani-
mously to grant him certificate of
qualification. DR.. Waggener has been
a specialist for twenty years and it is
not his purpose to interfere with the
practice of other physicians. The ques-
ton may occur, why does a physician
of DR.. Waggener's qualifications want
to locate in Columbia. 1t is a matter
of health. When he came here his ply
steal condition was such that he did not
know that he would ever be able to
practice. Having almost recovered his
health, and attributing his improve
ment to this climate, he has concluded
to remain. Besides, he did not come
here total stranger. He was partly
reared in Columbia and here and in the
county he has many relatives.
