More Than an Officer Could Stand. From the Boston Herald.

There is a man who served as a special police officer in a suburban town for sev- eral years but never made an arrest.
 A few days ago the keeper of the lock- up was much surprised to have this of ficer bring in a man in helpless state of inebriety.
 "Why, Bill,' said the keeper, ''how is this? You have been an officer nine years and this is your first arest."
 That Is true, Dan," said the officer, "I have taken many persons home when intoxicated rather than bring them here but when man gets drunk and lies down on lawn in front of my house and goes to sleep, that's more than can or will stand"

THE ILLINOIS
FISHING LAWS
Col. Bartlett Explains the Rules and
Regulations In llli-
nois.

The Gate City recently published a
brief letter from Col. Bartlett regard
ing the fish laws of Illinois. In an in
terview to a Quincy newspaper. he
gives the following status Of the regu-
lations:
Two years ago the state legisla-
ture passed fish law including in its
provisions a license for those using
seins, nets or trammel nets. A case
in which this license law was violated
came up in Schuyler county. This
case was carried to the supreme cour
by interested parties.
"The supreme court declared as un
constitutional that portion of the law
as applied to the issuing of licenses,
because tae law made a special pro-
vision for Lake Michigan.
sThis year a new law was drawn,
which included In its provision a
new license law for nets and SENS,
making the license SIS per year for
nonresident fishermen With pole and
line in this state. The bill passed the
senate by an almost unanimous vote.
1t then went to the house, where 1t
was reported out of committee with
the recommendation That 1t pass, but
the bill got lost with thousands OF

was good careful worker. He was
not feeble in spite Of his advanced
years.
1t is.hard to link his disappearance
with any thought Of foul play, as he
was without enemies as far as known
and was of quiet unoffensive disposi-
ton. His sudden an i,nexplainable dis
appearance however, leads to some

bogus, written out on sending blanks

Mrs. Crosby was thrown into a state
of great nervous excitement over the
bogus message delivered to her. Her
daughter, who is the wife of a railroad

Extraordinary Auction.

New York, May 27.-Unprecedented
terms We're offered in connection with
real estate auction just held by
Joseph p. Day. In settling up the af-
fairs of the old Bernheimer estate
some twenty lots were found in the
vicinity of the 10th street station Of
the Ninth Avenue Elevated Road,
which had been in the family for more
than a half a century, and some of
which We're remnants of the old Lion
Park tract. To dispose of these the
executors have determined to offer to
bidders the privilege of allowing 80
per cent. Of purchase prices to remain
on mortgage at per cent. interest for
one, two or three years. No terms
such as these have ever before been
offered in the auction room. and the
sale resulted in brisk competition
among builders.

citizens exceeds 2O,OOO,OOO souls, ana

1907 the numbere exceeded 1000. 900
annually. The last census-that of
l9OO-disclosed that there were then
living 10,46O,OOO Americans Of for
eign birth.
Perhaps more than 30 per cent OF
our foreign-born population is at the

FAULTLESS PRESCRIPTION.
No Remedy for Stomach Distress and
Indigestion so Perfect.

A scientific prescription for dys-
pepsia put up in small tablet form
and called Mi-o-na is making thou
sands of quick and lasting cures
throughout America.
There is no stomach disease (even
catarrh of the stomach) that it is not
guaranteed to cure, and Tallman &
Co. have so much faith in Mi-o-na
for stomach disorders of all kinds that
they will refund your money If it does
not cure.
Mi-o-na, the faultless prescription,
stops sour stomach, belching of gas,
distress after eating, heartburn, bill
iousness and nervousness
1t is well worth a trial by any read
er Of the East Oregonian who suffers
from any stomach disturbance. 1t
contains ingredients that not only
give relief but that act on the stom-
ach so beneficially that in a short
time the flabby, tired out walls of
the stomach regain their strength and
activity and can perfectly digest any
kind of food without aid.
Try Mi-o-na for week. misery
will change to happiness; despair to
hope, dun eyes to bright and you will
wonder why you suffered so
long with such a remarkable pre-
at hand
And only so cents for large box
at Tallman & Co.'S and at druggists
everywhere.

SlEEPMAN THREATENED
BY ANONYMOUS LETTER

George L.. Huffman. who operates

mad the buildings and corrals on his
place destroyed by incendiary fire the
last OF April, was in Union last Sat
urday and stated that he was on the
tran of the incendiaries, and that he
mad occasion last week to take four
shots at a night marauder prowling
about his place, where he has kept
diligent watch since the fire. Owing
to the darkness, however the shots
took no effect, says the Union Scout.
There appears to be a move on
foot to drive Mr.. Huffman and his
sheep out Of that section, and a few
days after the fire he received an
anonymous letter Of warning, which
read: "If you consider your scalp
worth more than coyotes scalp, do
not come back"
such yelled threats have no ter
rors for Mr. Huffman, and he stated
that he would not be driven, scared
nor frightened, but would fight for
his rights TO the bitter end.
There is a reward of $500 offered
by the state of Oregon. also $500 by
the Sheep association and $3.50 bv
Mr.. Huffman personally for the ar
rest and conviction Of the land pirates
who destroyed his buildings.
