4 STANDING JOSH.

An interesting story is told by the
Omaha World-Herald in this way:
You could see easy enough that they
were a bridal couple" said the Pull
man conductor. "a whole gang came
down to the train TO see them off, all
a laughing and joshing them. Well
behaved enough they We're. under
stand, but having a pretty gosd time
end lot of fun at the expense of the
couple who were leaving. There
wasn't no rice nor old snoes nor any
thing Of that sort, but the crowd was
having pretty good time with them
in a ladylike and gentlemanlike sort
of way. They was pretty uncomfort-
able and glad when the train pulled
out and left the gang behind. Just
before we pulled out young fellow
comes rushing into the car with a
tIg armful Of brides roses and laid
them down in the lady's lap. Ny,
how she did blush. The whole car
was wise and there was plenty of
snickering and guying going on. He

DISTRICT FAIR EXHIBITS.

BY getting busy at this time with
the work of securing exhibits for the
district fair the secretary and MEM
bers of the board should be able to
accomplish good results. The fruit
season is now on and this is the ma
tural time to induce people to pre-
pare fruit exhibits for the fair. The
hay and grain harvests will be under
way within a short time and fine
specimens of the grains and grasses
OF the county may be obtained.
The fair board is anxious to obtain
representative exhibits this year and
should be successful. There will be
many thousands in the city for the
fair and the Roundup and they should
be greeted by creditable displays at
the fair pavilion.
Now is the time to prepare for
your exhibits at the fair. Don't wait
until it is too late.

STAMP 1T OUT.

The italian riot on Main street yes
terday in which Section Foreman Mo-
ran was stabbed and the peace of the
city generally disturbed was a dis
grace and a shame to Pendleton. 1t
would not take many affairs of that
sort to give Pendleton the reputation
of being a place where lawlessness
and disorder abound and where it is
unsafe for one to be out of doors. We
cant afford to acquire such a stand
Ing.
Following the melee yesterday the
principals in the affair were promptly
arrested by the police and the sheriff
Il is needless to say they deserve
such punishments as will thoroughly
convince them of the fact that men
cannot run wild on the streets of Pen
dleton and not pay heavy penalties.
The riot yesterday was a serious af-
fair and the authorities will be sadly
hacking in their duty if they do not in
yestigate the matter to the very bot
tom. If the trouble was the result of
drunkenness then it should be ascer-
tained what saloon, If any, sold them
the liquor. 1t is a violation of the
city ordinance for a saloonman to
sell liquor to an intoxicated man and
II Is a provision that should be rigidly
enforced.
There is also need of a strict en-
forcement of the law against rioting
When men bring on a general melee
like the one of yesterday afternoon
they endanger the lives Of innocent
men. women and children. The pen
atty for such rioting should be a pen
itentiary sentence and no mere SO
fine in the police court.
1t is squarely up to the officials,
both Of the city and county, to take
steps to firmly squelch further riot
ing II special officers are needed to
assist in keeping the peace they should
be had After the police have done
their duty tine prosecuting officers
should see that guilty men get their

it reaches directly or indirectly every
unit in society
With unanimiy in the desire for
Improvement. all that remains is for
all the interests to get together. The
farmer the business man, and all
others should meet and talk it over
Each should see the viewpoint of the
other and join together in sane and
sensible plan.
Such plan is proposed by the
promotion committee of the Portland
Commercial club. 1t has arranged
for Good Roads Day" to be in
cluded in the three days session of
the Oregon Development league at
Astoria, at which every feature of the
road situation may be discussed. with
every phase of Oregon life represented
il the discussion. 1t is also proposed
to make the day n starting point of a
campaign to be made state wide and
irsistent
The promotion committee has no
program of road building. 1t hopes
that with all interests Joined. sat
istactory program can be developed.
1t is going to join aggressively with
all other interests in an effort to Sc
cure harmonious and unified cam
paign for civilized roads for civilized
men. The announcement on account
of the patriotic character of the or
will be welcomed by good
roads people of every walk and de-
gree.

TO SECURE UNITY.

It is Iamentable that such a bungle
OF road legislation was made by the
late Oregon legislature, says the ore
gon Journal It was the natural pro-
duct Of an attempt in only 40 days
tc consider 725 bills It is the more
regrettable because two years yuyt
now be lost in getting road building
IN the state on an intelligent and
busincssllke basis.
There were many misunderstood
ings iu the good road movement. The
purpose OF the so-called Portland
program were misunderstood by many
Of the farmers. The ideas Of the
farmers were not correctly interpret
ed by some OF the Portland road
boosters. Men on both sides talked
too much and unwisely.
It ought 20 be different in the fu-
ture. All oregon wants to improve
the roads We should be an insane
Eote not 10 want to improve them
we are losing 100000 a year be-
cause Of bad roads. The loss falls
most heavily upon the farmers. but

ABOUT THE CANAL

contrary To custom Uncle Sam who
insists on full knowledge of values
before making a purchase, bought
the French Panama canal property.
and then ascertained its value after
ward. The appraisal has just been
completed by a special board. and
their report has the approval of Col.
George w. Goethals, engineer in
charge of the canal construction.
The French company was paid
S40.OO0,0OO for its property and work
done on the isthmus. This figure
was based upon estimates of the Is
thmian Canal commission. and the
latest report shows that the United
states got bargain. The total val
uation of the purchase is now de-
clared to have been S42.T09,S26.
This sum is made up of the follow
ing items: Excavation toward the
canal. S25,SS9.240; Panama railroad

For a time yesterday afternoon
there were men who would have
caused further disorder by causing an
attack on the foreigners who stabbed
Mike Moran. However demon

added to the horror and it is to the

lence occurred.

BEE STING FOR RHEUMATISM
Hoosier Farmland Sufferer Tries He role Treatment and Says
 It's Great.

Owensville, Ind.-That bee stinga have healing and curative qualities Is vouched for by James Cross, a farm hand who suffered with rheumatism in the toes of one foot He was told that a bees javelin would chase away the rheumatic pains and he tried it. He captured twenty-five bees. put them in a tight paper box, cut an inch slit in one end. through which he poked his toes, and waited patiently for something to happen.
 When the imprisoned and thorough. ly angered bees saw five human toes fin front of them something happened very quickly. Singers dashed at the toes in great haste. Cross made ugly faces and writhed but stayed with the game. At the end of two minutes the bee battery had exhausted its ammuni- tion, but when Cross attempted to pull his toes out of the box he found they had swollen to three times their nat ural size.
 The slit in the box was far too small and he was forced to cut the box to pieces before he could release himself.
 Did the remedy cure the rheuma- tism?" he was asked.
 Well, I can now do the Isadore Dun can toe dance to a queens taste. as Dll signs of rheumatis pains in my toes have disappeared" he replied.

Didn't Kiss the Widow.

Wilkesbarre, Pa.-Alderman Dono- hue held Daniel Reardon under bail to keep the peace because he did not kiss Mrs. Mary Burke, neighbor. after talking of doing so and being so timid that he finally had words with her about 1t, and Mrs. Burke had him arrested for disorderly conduct. When Alderman Donohue heard the facts he said: .Reardon, all members of the female sex. from their infancy up, like to be kissed. Osculation is one of the necessities of life. do not consider you gallant in having asked this wom- an for kiss and then not taking it."

conservative estimate. In view of the fact that several million barrels flowed into the Buena Vista river and thence to the Tuxpam river and out to sea, going to waste in this manner, an accurate estimate of the total out put cannot be given But that this big estimate Is not far wrong Is shown by the fact that approximately s.000.- 900 barrels of oil from this well have been saved and are now in storage. One earthen reservoir covers more than 45 acres of ground and is more than 30 feet deep in the central DOT ton. It now contains 5.000.000 bar rels of oil Other smaller reservoirs are full of the product and an army of men are kept constantly at work con structing additional storage places for the unremitting flow.
 The market value of the crude oil at the well is $1 Mexican money or 50 cents gold per barrel The value of the daily output is therefore more than $6O.0OO gold or nearly $2.00O,OOO per month. Even at the present rate of flow it is found impossible to save all of the oil. and many thousands of dollars worth of 1t goes to waste each day.

TWO GIRLS FIGHT FOR LOVER
Battle Proves Hard One Until One of the combatants Lands So-
 lar Plexus.

Providence, R. L-Reversing the usual order of things of two men fight ing over a girl, two Swedish maidens met in che ring in a fashionable road house on the outskirts of Providence, and fought with boxing gloves over a man of whom both were enamored. The affair is now in the hands of the police and 1t is likely the promoters will be brought to account.
 The fight was held after Swedish masquerade ball in which the young ladies met and passed jealous words over the man in the case. It was sug- gested that they adjourn to the road house after the ball and settle the matter. They agreed. Many were tipped of quietly and scores of peo- pie were on hand to see the exhibi- ton.
 Both girls entered the ring, stripped after the manner of professional box CTS They donned the gloves and went after each other in a manner that delighted the party assembled, every member of which was pledged to secrecy. It was an even fight for two rounds but in the third one girl landed a solar plexus blow and knock ed the other fair combatant to the floor where she was counted out.
