transpires that in their eagerness to
contract this we'll known young cow
boy, the officials of the fair sent the
contract to the wrong Stanley and,
instead of securing Jason to do the
ride, they have booked his brother,
Doc" Stanley, who makes no preten-
sions to being in the class of the 9TH
er The statement of the mistake is
made upon the authority of doc"
Stanley himself. He passed through
Pendleton last evening en- route to
Walla Walla and related to local
friends with a good deal of glee the
manner in which he secured a con-
tract to do the drunken ride" His
brother, Jason, is in Walla Walla. but

POISON IN CANDY
KILLS LITTLE GIRL
3-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER OF DIR
AND MRS. HENDERSON
SUCCUMBS TO-DAY.

Following five day illness suppos-
ed to have resulted from the eating
of poisonous candy, Juanita Hender-
son, the little three-year-o daugh-
ter of DR. and Mrs. +. NJ. Henderson,
died this morning about $3.50 at the
family home on east Alta street. The
funeral will be held Friday afternoon
at . O'Clock at the family residence.
The little girl developed stomach
and intestinal disorder last Saturday
after eating some candy and since
that day up to her death had not been
able to take an ounce of food into
her stomach. Deprived of all nour-
ishment, she gradually became weak
er and succumbed despite the heroic
efforts of her father and other ply
sicians to save her. She was a beau
tiful child and her sudden and un-
timely end has almost Frustrated her
parents with grief.
A rumor was current that an uu-
identified person was seen to give
candy to the little girl but as far as
the police or coroner know the ru-
NOR is without foundation.

Barnes Congress of Wild Beasts Is
Coming.


Contracting agent, William X.
Peck, arrived in town today, arrang-
ing for the performance of AL G
Barnes Wild Animal Circus, that will
give to performances here Wednes-
day, October Is.
In answer to numerous questions he
said:
1t is with great pleasure and pride
that | offer the following remarks in
connection with our appearance in
your city. 1t is not my purpose to en-
large upon the manifold features that
we present in the Barnes show, but
rather to emphasize the belief that
its maintenance to public favor Is
due very largely to the support ac-
credited us by the more discriminat-
ing element in society. the element
that is partial to good clean amuse-
ment, the best years of barnes life
has been devoted to the education of
wild and domestic animals from all
parts of the known world. l think l
may say that his efforts have been
attended with a fair amount of sue
cess. Today he has the greatest and
most sensational animal show in Am
erica"

Buffalo Times: General George
Washington Curtis Lee, who died a
few days ago at Ravenscroft, Va, was
a son of Robert e. Lee, the famous
confederate leader. AS is we'll known,
the Washington and Lee families were
closely associated by ties of relation
ship and marriage. This accounts for
the fact that many valuable memoir

by gift or inheritance to the Lees Of
Virginia.
The will of General G. w. c. Lee,
which has just been filed, decides that
two very rare paintings of Washing

Is the pastel by James Sharpless, the
English artist, painted three a be-

last portrait for which the father of
his country sat. The other is the por-

Lions Heads on Fountains

Tit-Bits: Most of the things that
are customary with us had some good
reason for their origin, though we are
apt to accept them and not inquire
what that origin was. The water in a
great many public fountains, whether
for man or beast comes out of a lions
mouth. Did you ever STOP to think
why a lions head, should be chosen in
preference to any other design?
This is said to be the reason; Among
the ancient Egyptians the rising of the
waters Of the river Nile was the most
important event of the year, as it
meant life and prosperity to the whole
nation.
This rising OF the waters always took
place when the sun was in the constel-
lation OF Leo, or the lion. So they
adopted the shape of a lion as the SYM
boil for the l~ife-giving waters OF the
Nile, and all their fountains were
carved with a lions head. The Greeks
and Romans copied this symbol. and
SO it has crle down to us.
