operation it is suffused with a rosy

The brain is singularly susceptible
to activity, and it has been found
that, while the workers in noisy
places such as boiler factories felt
themselves to have grown accustomed
to the noises, the brain was still stimulated to the activity of hearing the
noise, and the brain was constantly
flushed to the excitements arising
from the organs of hearing. In the

The Indian excitement has been at
fever heat for several days. Several
families left for Walla Walla and
other places. On Tuesday Major
Conoyer who had gone out on the
north fork of the John Day to have
his Indians return found them fighting the hostlles and holding them in
check. The major immediately sent
a courier to Pendleton to give the alarm and notify citizens in the country. On the arrival of the courier in
Pendleton a courier was sent out to
notify settlers on the Umatilla river
below town and another sent with the
news to Walla Walla and to notify the
people at Weston.
A company was
immediately' formed and what arms
that could be had placed in their
hands. Ten men thus armed started
to the assistance of our grave Indians
who were holding the hostllea in
check. Another company was formed
at Pilot Rock some ten or 12 of whom
went immediately to the front. The
settlers from Birch Creek and the
Umatilla nearly all came to the town
during the night. Another company
was formed to patrol the town and
a vigilant watch was kept up during
the night. ' On Wednesday morning
