ment was made about the middle OF
October at the home of the parent
She claimed that the money was CIV

sured them that they need not worry,

Testimony CoIrobOrated.
This testimony was partially cor
robrated by A. W. Hanson. who tes-
-tified that on the same day the plain
tiff and the son came into the saloon
that he and Olson were running at
that time. and that the old man had
a tobacco sack full of money which
he exhibited to the witness. As the
money was shown TO the bartender.
Edward made the remark TO his faith
er that the sight of that might make
him (Hanson) sick. The witness then
testified that the son also said, THAT
makes the last payment on the land
don't it dad" and that the father
slapped him on the back and said,
you bet it does, son." or words to
that effect. .-a'".IS.- Ea.!.'i.e

to the west and remarked, THE place
is over there about six miles"

amount paid by him to the deceased
amounted to $4,000. These figures

stated that the son was a man Of in

strife was over, all should reunite in

mon country.
Great and Terrible Days.
He lived In days that were great
and terrible, when brother fought
against brother for what each sim
cerely deemed to be the right. In a
contest so grim the strong men who
alone can carry 1t through are rarely
able to do justice to the deep con-
victions OF those with whom they
grapple in mortal strife. At such
times men see through a glass dark
ly: to only the rarest and loftiest
spirits is vouchsafed that clear vi
sion which gradually comes to ALL
even to the lesser, as the struggle
fades into distance, and wounds are
forgotten, and peace creeps back to
the hearts that were hurt. But TO
Lincoln was given this supreme vi
sion. He did not hate the man from
whom he differed. Weakness was as
foreign as wickedness to his strong,
gentle nature: but his courage was
of a quality so high that 1t needed no
bolstering of dark passion. He saw
clearly that the same high qualities,
the same courage, and willingness for
self-sacrifice, and devotion to the
right as 1t was given them to see the
right, belonged both to the men Of
the North and to the men of the
South.
As the years roll by, and as all Of,
wherever we dwell, grow to feel an
equal pride in the valor and self-de-
votion, alike of the men who wore the
blue and the men who wore the gray,
so this whole nation will grow to feel
a peculiar sense of pride In the might
lest of the mighty men who MASTER
ed the mighty days; the lover of his
country and of all mankind; the man
whose blood was shed for the union
of his people and for the freedom of
a race, Abraham Lincoln.

FOUR DIVORCE SUITS.
Little God Cupid Apparently Losing
Out Here.

Cupid is losing out. There is no
question about It. Either his little
darts do not have enough magic poi
son upon them when he fires the TO-
tai shot or else he is getting careless
in his aim. At all events he is not
making good The effects OF his mis-
sion do not last. Whoever his rival
in the lower regions is, the same one
IS getting the whip hand.
For this reason four divorce suits
were filed in the couty clerks office
this morning.
The first couple to want their mat
rlmonial bonds severed were Andrew
j. Semple and Mary f. Semple who
were married in Portland on August
I'd, 1890.
The next were Nellie Volmer and
otto J. Volmer, married in Pendle-
ton on the fifteenth OF November,
1905.
Minnie ola Aaron and Benjamin
Harvey Aaron, who were married at
Spokane Jan. 90, 1905. also wish
their marriage annulled.
Then Olivia c. Keller and Alva
Keller do not wish their holy bonds
of matrimony to exist any longer. so
they have all called upon Peter West
to place them again in single blessed
ness.
1t is whispered that this attorney is
the rival of the little god Of love.
