MISS WEISEL'S PARTY. One Who Was There Tells Us All About It. Oh, yes, we were at Miss Weisel's party, of course—wouldn't have missed it for worlds! It was the most exquisite affair that has been given in Anaheim for a long time. The large garden was illuminated with Chinese lanterns, and among the trees were the tiniest and cosiest corners you ever saw—just room enough for two, and that means very little, you know. Then, over each nook was a poetical sign. I daren't tell you what they said. Dear me, no! But you may ask some one else, if you are curious. In the house, the two large rooms were cleared for dancing and made ornate with green foliage and pink flowers. Each young man was given a pink nosegay; but the girls, in their pink and white dresses, were the prettiest flowers of all. On the lawn, under a large date-palm, was a punch-bowl; and, later in the evening, the young beaux carried into the garden ice-cream and cake to their belles. Of course, we didn't visit the cosy nooks. Oh, no; but we heard from others that it was exceedingly nice out there. We sat on the porch steps and watched the light dresses fitting in and out among the trees. In the "wee sma'" hours we all went home. But, dear me, we didn't want to go—no, not a little bit. And we all wish to thank Miss Weisel for giving us one of the best times we ever had. ONE OF THE GUESTS. Fight for Hermit's Wealth Eight lawyers and thirty witnesses are participating in a sensational will contest just commenced at Colfax, Washington. It involves the $100,000 estate of Joseph Conatser, a wealthy hermit and stock grower, who died in the Walla Walla hospital last April. A will purporting to be signed by Conatser on April 10th of this year, by which he left $10,000 to the hospital in which he died and the remainder to his brother and sister, provided that they be found within six months, wa-filed for probate, and the contest resulted. Henry Douglas, one of the contestants, makes the sensational claim that the deceased was W. A. Douglas, who killed a man in Dallas, Tex., soon after the close of the Rebellion, and fled to Washington Territory and changed his name to Joseph Conatser. WHEN SKULE LETS OUT!

It may develop so slowly as to cause little if any disturbance during the whole period of childhood. It may then produce irregularity of the stomach and bowels, dyspepsia, catarrh, and marked tendency to consumption before manifesting itself in much cutaneous eruption or glandular swelling.

It has been definitely determined that the United States will be represented on the Pacific side of the Isthmus of Panama as well as on the Atlantic side. Thus far the Ranger has been held in readiness at San Diego and the Iowa is coming down to San Francisco to be in readiness to go south from that point. While the formal orders have not been issued one or the other of these ships is to proceed south to look after the American interests. The probability is that it will be the Ranger, as she is farthest down the coast, and the trouble does not appear to warrant the presence of a battleship. The State Department at Washington is without any additional work from Colombia or Venezuela concerning the disorders. At the Venezuelan legation Senor Pulido, charge d'a-faires, expressed a firm belief that there was no actual war between his country and Colombia, for he said he would be immediately cabled if war between the two countries had been declared, or even was imminent. As to the casualty reports from the battles said to have been fought in Chiara, on the Venezuela border, he did not believe them exaggerated to any great extent, for he pointed out that single battle between revolutionists in South America actually left more damage on the field than did our whole Spanish-American war. Property Assessment The reports of assessors in the various counties of the State have all been received by the State Board of Equalization. Some of the county auditors who give the figures after the court boards of equalization have acted, ha- Henry Douglas, one of the contestants, makes the sensational claim that the deceased was W. A. Douglas, who killed a man in Dallas, Tex., soon after the close of the Rebellion, and fled to Washington Territory and changed his name to Joseph Conatser. Douglas claims that Conatser, or Douglas, and a person named Gilliam, killed a man whose name is not given, and fled. Gilliam was recaptured, found guilty and sentenced to the penitentiary for life, but escaped. He came to Washington Territory, where he joined his partner in crime, and was afterward pardoned. Afterward he returned to Texas and was shot and killed by John Chowning, marshal of Whitright, Tex. Marion Baker, a pioneer who emigrated to Washington twenty-nine years ago and took up a homestead near that of Conatser and was intimately acquainted with the latter as any one ever was, says Gilliam was with Conatser when he came here, but left the country in 1874, having sold his claim, and was never seen again. Baker says Conatser always kept a horse saddled and bridled near the door, and told him that he was on the lookout all the time, and that a coyote could not come on the ranch without him seeing it. Conatser was well educated, took many papers and magazines, and was a constant reader. He came to the Palouse wheat country thirty-five years ago, when but few white settlers were there, and lived the life of a hermit in a log cabin. He did his own cooking and lived roughly. He accumulated considerable property, and at the time of his death had 2500 acres of fine land and large numbers of blooded cattle, horses and other property. CONCLUDED SHE WOULDN'T MARRY Went to Oregon to Wed a Man She Had Never Seen. To bring a girl 2,500 miles to marry him "sight and unseen," to send her money for a ticket, traveling expense and trousseau, and then to have to give her money to take her back to Arkansas, was the hard lot that befell Alfred Sando, a prominent citizen of Helix, Or. Instead of a happy home, and a handsome wife, he has now a torn marriage license and a diminished bank account. Sando saved money as a dealer in harness. Then he decided the time had come to marry, so he built a pretty home and commenced looking for a wife. The girls of Helix, who are reared to hard work and have none of the accomplishments of their city sisters, found little favor with Sando. So he resorted to a marriage bureau.

Some of the county auditors who give the figures after the county boards of equalization have acted, have not reported, but the total valuation will not vary greatly from the figure furnished by the assessors. Theseures give the total valuation of State, exclusive of the railroads assessed by the State Board of Equalitation, as $1,195,902,494, an increase $25,321,792 over last year, in spite of the fact that church property is not exempt. The total church property exempt from assessment in State, however, did not amount to $3,500,000. The total figures have been received, but those at hand prove the total will be but little over $3,000. The increase in valuation year over the year before was about $23,000,000. The only counties to show a decree this year are Colusa, Glenn, Merced, Mono, Plumas, Sanego, San Joaquin, San Luis Obispo Santa Clara, Solano, Stanislaus, Suisnd Yuba, and the aggregate of these counties is but $1,890,572. Clara's decrease is due largely to loss of the Stanford assessment, including the Palo Alto farm, exempted the last Legislature. Kern is the ner county, showing an increase $5,872,109, due to the oil development in that section. San Francisco shows an increase of over $5,000 and Los Angeles an increase of $3,000,000. Orange county has an increase $232,705, Riverside $231,788,and Bernardino $247,630. Alfred Sando, a prominent citizen of Helix, Or. Instead of a happy home and a handsome wife, he has now a torn marriage license and a diminished bank account. Sando saved money as a dealer in harness. Then he decided the time had come to marry, so he built a pretty home and commenced looking for a wife. The girls of Helix, who are reared to hard work and have none of the accomplishments of their city sisters found little favor with Sando. So he resorted to a marriage bureau. Down in Hot Springs, Arkansas, was an ardent maiden looking for a spouse. The marriage bureau introduced Miss Harrigan and Sando, an enthusiastic correspondence started and they exchanged photographs. Miss Harrigan was beautiful, and Sando had all the dash and style of a true westerner according to the photographs, so they became engaged. Ida had no money, so Alfred sent her some. She wanted a trousseau, a ticket and traveling expenses, and the necessary was forthcoming. August 2d the prospective bride arrived in Pendleton. Sando was there to meet her. They repaired in haste to the Umatilla county courthouse, got a marriage license and started off for Helix to have the ceremony performed. Somehow Miss Harrigan didn't like the looks of Sando. The little unwatered hamlet amid Umatilla's burning sands was not to her fancy, so she said she guessed she wouldn't stay. She wanted to go back to Arkansas but hadn't any money. Sando was loath to give her up, but when a man is a church member and the villagers are beginning to talk, there was nothing else for him to do, and he put up $50. Seen in Pendleton, Miss Harrigan was recognized and asked whither away so soon. She answered: "Back to God's country." Asked where that was, she simply answered: "Arkansas." Use Allen's Foot-Ease.

Bringing Him to Terms. "I would like to have your photograph for an article to be published in our Sunday paper," said the representative of the sensational journal. "Couldn't think of it," said the man whose sudden fame was due to the fact that his son had eloped with a variety actress. "I have no desire for notoriety."

Property Assessment. reports of assessors in the varitities of the State have all been filed by the State Board of Equaliz- Some of the county auditors, are the figures after the county of equalization have acted, have Four Bears at a Shot. A number of years ago Mr. Withee was presented with two fine hounds, and, wishing to try their training and their grit, he took them out to do a little bear hunting. The first morning Withee let the dogs out for a run while he was getting the breakfast, expecting them to be back in a short time. When breakfast was over, the dogs had not returned, so, taking his gun, Mr. Withee started out in direction they had taken. After traveling about a mile the faint barking of dogs could be heard, and it was then plain why the dogs had not returned. They had scented game and were in pursuit. The sound of the barking led him far up the side of a mountain, and soon he came in sight of the dogs standing around the upturned roots of a tree. Mr. Withee crept up cautiously until within about 15 feet of a cave that was near by, and then a black, shaggy head could be seen just above the roots. Taking good aim, he fired his .44 caliber and awaited results. After several minutes he went up to the cave, and what he saw there gave him a shock from which he has never recovered. Two bears lay dead, and two more were so stunned that a few quick passes with a knife settled them. For the four bears Mr. Withee received $20 bounty, $27.50 for their hides and $42 for the bear oil, making $89.50 for one day's hunt—Maine Woods. All For Love. It was a runaway match. The young couple had nothing to live on but love, and they grew thin on it, for the butcher, baker, etc., heartlessly refused to barter any of the necessaries of life for a bit of love, and the landlady wouldn't accept even a large slice of it for rent. At last they were reduced to such extremities that starvation stared them in the face. When starvation does this, it, so to say, "puts you out of countenance." "Oh, George," wailed the young wife, "what shall we do? I am so hungry!" "Alas, I know not, darling!" he sighed fondly but sadly, toying with her luxuriant tresses. But I know, George!" she suddenly exclaimed after a pause. "Sell my hair!" "What!" he almost shouted, with a horror stricken face. "Sacrifice your lovely golden locks! Ruthlessly cut off the greatest ornament a woman can possess? Never! Never! I will starve first!" "But, George," she assured him, "It cannot require cutting off. See!"

Now, notwithstanding much outdoor life, they are little if any stronger than they were. The tan on their faces is darker and makes them look healthier, but it is only a mask. They are still nervous, easily tired, upset by trifles, and they do not eat or sleep well. What they need is what tones the nerves, perfects digestion, creates appetite, and makes sleep refreshing, and that is Hood's. Sarsaparilla. Pupils and teachers generally will find the chief purpose of the vacation best subserved by this great medicine which, as we know, "builds up the whole system." A Queer Colony of Outlaws. "In Lower California there is one of the most curious colonies in the world," said a Bohemian who recently came from the Pacific Slope, according to The Times-Democrat of New Orleans, "and it's a wonder to me that we have not heard more about the men who have housed themselves in under such curious circumstances. It is a colony of outlaws, and some of the most noted escaped criminals who ever operated during the latter half of the nineteenth century are probably to be found in this strange nest. "They live in a strange, rugged stretch of country, with the Gulf of California on one side and a range of footills which spread down toward the Mexican border on the other. There are no ports at this point on the coast of California, and no railroads reaching in from the other direction, so the men are pretty well isolated. Occasionally they will send out for a supply of provisions when the larder begins to get low, but they are awfully cautious about this, for they are afraid of the outside world, and for good reasons want to have nothing to do with it. They have been congregating in that section for years, and no effort has been made to disturb them. They do no harm there. They live to themselves, pursue such callings as are most congenial, and in no way come in contact with the outside world except when they send out for such provisions. A Pigeon as Valet to a Crow. "Tom was the name given to a lonely young crow." says Florence M. Kinley in The Ladles' Home Journal "Beauty was a snow white pigeon about the crow's age, with whom she was reared. Just how it came aboard we never knew, but we soon discover that Beauty regularly acted as male all work to Tom. She fetched and ried morsels of food at his impervious command, and one of her unvarying duties was the preening of her mite's feathers. Tom was very much a dandy. His coal black plumage ways appeared perfectly dressed by shining, but the arduous labor of toilet was performed for him every day by the humble and affectate pigeon. "Our fine gentleman would come from a roll in the dust or a dip in fountain and, seating himself upon certain ralling, utter a short, sharp Instantly Beauty would descend to side and begin her task, fluttering loudly from side to side as she would drawing each shining black feather carefully out to its full length in pink bill, Tom meanwhile dozing loudly, with closed eyes, after manner of the complacent patron skillful barber.

The Rohans have the hideous habit of periodically lighting the Coliseum during the tourist season with Bengal lights and, what is more amazing still, usually succeed in making a financial success of it, although no one was ever known to go twice. There is the additional abomination in these days of a big brass band and a chorus of 100 voices in an invocation to the Flavian amphitheater. The effect is tremendous, but somewhat stunning to those who are accustomed to their Coliseum empty and flooded with peaceful moonlight, where pictures from the past rise with the clearness of second sight, and no sound is heard but one's own breathing or the song of the nightingale. Contrast with such a scene the red, blue and yellow Bengal lights, the smoke, the confusion, the hundred shrieking throats and clang of the brazen instruments! Imagination shrinks and curses the Roman of today with whom such a thing is possible. But is it his fault? As I said before, it is a great financial success, and the Italians certainly do not patronize it. Query, Who does? Rome Letter in Pall Mall Gazette. How They Broke Up. An amusing story is related in "Canadian Savage Folk" of the manner in which an adjournment was taken by a mass meeting. A missionary who had started a school among the Indians met with opposition, and the meeting had been called in support of the rival scheme. There were several speakers who denounced the school in existence. We replied vigorously, showing the efficiency of the school and denouncing in turn the methods adopted by the opposition. An Indian chief produced some specimens of work done at the school, and several speakers supported the work as it was being done. The climax was reached when a gentleman rose and said: "I move the whole thing bust!" The chairman put the motion. "It is moved and seconded that the whole thing bust!" The audience sprang to their feet and, waving hats, yelled "Busted!" and made for the door. Thus ended the first and last opposition in that matter. Pride of the Riding Academy.

If it is charity, a bazaar, a church fair, or any other benevolent undertaking, they work day and night to make it a success. They are not the women who neglect their homes to serve the public. They simply do double service. Many a husband knows what it is to bring his wife home from a fair or bazaar near the hour of midnight and see her drop in sheer exhaustion into the first chair she comes to.

If a woman were thoroughly robust, without ache or pain, she could not keep this work up without undermining her health. What shall be said then of those women, who are not strong, who suffer from headache, backache, bearing-down pains, and other consequences of a diseased condition of the womanly organism? And these women are in the great majority. There are few women who are free from diseases peculiar to their sex. BURNING THE CANDLE AT BOTH ENDS. That expressive saying not only suggests the most rapid form of waste but also the most foolish. When a woman overtaxes her strength in any cause, whether in the enjoyment of social pleasures, or in the service of church or charity, she is rapidly hastening to the end of her public activity. The proof of this is found right at home. Young matrons who are not dancing any more, church workers who are no more active; these have not stepped aside because of loss of interest but because of lack of strength. There is not a weak woman who would not like to be made strong again. There is not a sick woman who would not like to be made well. And there is not the least reason, in ninety-eight cases out of every hundred, why women should continue to be weak and sick. The first step to the re-establishment of the general health is to establish the local womanly health. "I feel that it is only my duty to send you a statement of my case," writes Mrs. Mary E. Wilcox, of Emo (Rainy River), Algoma Co., Ont. "I suffered untold misery for many years with uterine trouble, until I commenced taking Dr. Pierce's good medicine and used the local treatment as advised. I took two bottles of 'Favorite Prescription' and two of 'Golden Medical Discovery.' I also sent for one box of your 'Antiseptic and Healing Suppositories.' I have only used two and that was two months ago. Have not had to use any since, but I shall keep them in the house.

There is also the undivided one-tenth of the Good Hope group of mines and claims, twelve in number. Values in ores are of gold, silver, lead, copper and some bismuth, as the product of the veins. ...OLD SHOES MINE... During the former explorations, and by sinking the shaft on the Old Shoes mining claim and vein by mill sampling, these values were found and shown to be in the ore or that vein: First: On discovery, small chips were broken off all along this Old Shoes vein, at surface croppings of the vein, for the distance of 1000 feet, these crushed and sampled down to 25 pounds, and then down to an assay sample, which, on assay, gave gold value per ton of rock in place, $611. Sinking by shaft was started at once, at depth: Three feet ... $8.56 Six feet ... 17.14 17.64 19.34 23.06 Eight feet ... 19.40 Twelve feet ... 22.50 Twenty-eight feet ... 16.65 Fifty-seven feet ... 12.62 Seventy-two ft.(v. in feet). ... 20.62 Three Sections ... 8.50 2 ... 19.91 3 ... 23.45 Seventy-six feet ... 59.82 All of the outside claims and the veins thereof, as outeroppings have been sampled just as was the surface of the Old Shoes vein outcropping. The ores are similar, and the result of values was an average of three to nine dollars per ton of the rock in place, as opposed by the veins' outcroppings. The results having been obtained from eight-mill samples of about 25 pounds each, and each crushed and averaged down to the assay sample.
