MONROE DOCTRINE SPAT UPON, Governor Budd, of California, is for Twisting the Lion's Tail. Jovernor James H. Budd, dem ocrat, in referring'lo the Nicaragu- an dimculty, save: "The United States should never have allowed the British marines to set foot on Nicaraguan shores. We should have demand that Eng land submit her claims to arbitra tion and we should have forced her to do so. ' If diplomatic protests were not needed there Bhould have been American marines in Corinto to prevent the invasion. The Mon roe doctrine expresses the policy of the United btates, as it does the sentiment of its people, and this is a violation of the spirit of the doc trine. No European country can be permited to get into a position to control the Nicaraguan canal, and it would have saved trouble in the future if our government had drawn the line there. ''Let. a war with the United States be the consequence of aggression on this continent, and there wu be no aggressions." Persons who sympathise with the afflicted will rejoice; with - D. E.

There was quite a num ber in the court room as the pris oner and his guards filed in. Hoyt was told to stand up and Judge Sullivan asked him if he knew of any reason why sentence should not be passed upon bim when the prisoner said, "I don't know what to say." The judge then sentenced him to 20 years in the penitentiary, the sentence to commence fifteen years hence at the expiration of the time he is now serving and to end in 1920. Opposed to Alien Husbands. In the Illinois house of represen tatives Mr. MrCarthy introduced the following resolution, and it was referred to the committee on fed eral relations: . Resolved, That the members of the thirty-ninth general assembly of the state of Illinois do herebv request the daughters of Illinois not to accept the hand in marriage of any person who is not a citizen of the United States by right of birth or naturalization, as we are of the opinion that the daughters of Illinois should be patriotic in their views and should disregard the title of any foreigner and mar ry none but a citizen of the United btates. Your Physical Condition. Needs attention at this time. If you are tired, weak and nervous, it is clear that your blood is im- Eure, and without doubt there has een too much over-work or strain on brain or body. The course of treatment for such a condition is plain and simple. The blood mu?t first be purified so that the nervous system, and in fact all the organs will be fed upon pure blood, . In telligent people without number have testified that the best blood purifier and nerve tonic is Hood's Sarsaparilla. . ' To Bulldoze Japan.

The editor of the Heppner Gaz ette last week published the follow ing item: "A Long creek girl re cently sent her photograph to her best fellow and wrapped it in a newspaper in which was printed the advertisement of a stove firm. A portion of the print adhered to the photograph and the young man was very mucn surprised 10 see staring him in the face, in bold two-line pica type the following words: "See the name on the leg." The Heppner newspaper man can never more visit Long creek safely, if the girl had any big brothers. Boots From Human Skin. In 1876 the firm of Hahreaholtz Brothers, boot and shoe manufac turers, New York City, made a pair of boots from human ekin, which they Bent to the centennial exposi tion, at Philadelphia. They were never put on exposition, which shows that there was some human ity left in the exposition officials if not in the maker of the ghastly footwear. They were afterwards Bent to the Smithsonian institute, but were not allowed shelf room. Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder World's Fair Highest Award. Highest of all b Leavening Power.Latest U. S. Gov't Report SACALINE ON TRIAL. An Agricultural Expert, Gives Adverse , OP'fion on its Merits. There is much good claimed for sacaline as a forage plant, and many Umatilla county farmers are experimenting with it this sea son. While sacaline, it appears, has many friends who make fav orable statements in its behalf, there are many adverse reports made to its detriment as feed for cattle. Among such reports is the following, by F. W. Taylor, of the Nebraska experiment station: "This is exactly the year for farmers, of the west especially, to be on the lookout for anything in the way of a forage plant that will withstand extreme drouth; and just at this time so much is being said in tavor ot a plant growing under the name of sacaline that it seems to us if those who have seen it ought to say what their observa tion has shown regarding it. "About a year ago I received from Dr. Bataline, director of the imperial botanic garden of Peters burg, two of the roots. These were carefully planted and became es tablished in pots, and were then set out in the ground. They grew perhaps three feet in the summer, making a coarse plant looking very much like its first cousin the com mon smartweed or heart's-ease. In the autumn its stalks had become as hard and tough as sunflower stalks, and in fact worse, as they are not so full of pith. The whole appearance of the plant would in dicate its relationship to the docks and smartweeds, and my observa tion of it so far does not promise for it any greater value for forage than the other members of the family named possess. , "But, for fear that what I have seen of it may not show it in fair light, I have taken pains to get to gether many opinions upon it from various reliable sources, from which I quote. Dr. Bataline wrote at the time he 6ent the roots: "In my opinion Polygoum sacaline is unfit for fodder, because the stem runs rapidly to wood and the leaf be comes leethery. I am persuaded that the enthusiasm for it in France is created by the impudent pre tenses of trade." F. C. Bartus, as sistant agriculturist in agricultural college of Kansas, 6ays: "The plant made a very slow growth and about halt ot the plants survived the dry summer, and made a growth of a foot and a half.' Professor Georgeson of the same institution says: "It seems entirely unsuited to the dry, hot climate of the West ern states.' This explained by the fact that the plant is a native of the island of Sagaline, off the north coast of Japan,' where the rainfall is , very great. Professor N. E. Hansen of the Iowa Agricultural College, where the plant has been growing for a good many years as an . ornamental plant, Bays that they 'do not wish to indorse it any way until bettor tested.' Profes sor Pammel of the same school adds: 'Several members of this family are pestiferous plants, and from what I have seen of sacaline I believe this will be as bad as any, and perhaps worse.'" END OF THE WORLD. Dire Things are Going to Happen on November 13, 1899. Professor Ralph Falb of Vienna Bays the world will collide with a rude comet November 13, 1899, and be smashed and utterly ruined by the shock. Intense heat will bo generated and the atmosphere will bo chok ed with poisonous gases. Every living thing will bo cremated first and then suflicated to make a good The sun will shine on, as per contract, but no freckles will be caused by us caressing rays. Up vonder the moon will wax and wane, as it were; tor mere will do ro banks for it to sleep sweet upon and no Romeos to be conjured not to swear by it. The stars will still wink and blink as sau:y as heretofore, but they will have to do it to one another for Professor Gathmann'a housefly lens will be in more pieccB than at present and Mr. Yerkes' telescope will have left for eternity by particularly rapid transit. Wesnouldn t mind all this bo much but for one truly awful thought. Some fateful day as we are hnriinL' through infinite snace c o amid the wreck of systems and the crash of worlds, we shall come up- ' FT on the massive form of some of the prophetic rehivalists seated trium phantly on the Milky way and shall hear them say, "I told you so." - But perhaps Professor Falb is not posted. He is the man who predicted that in September, 1894, California would be wrenched from the mainland by an earthquake and New York City would be sub merged beneath the Atlantic ocean. Working This Way. There seems to be no doubt that there is a gang of petty robbers or ' burglars on a small scale which is operating along the line of the 0; R. & N. and from the newpaper accounts they are due here soon. Not too much care can be taken to spot them and prevent any depre dations in this city. Several small . burglaries have been noticed in each town and now La Grande has been reached. The Chronicle says: "The epidemic of burglarizing which broke out in Baker City a few days ago has extended to La Grande, and the. absence of any quarantine regulations in the way of a nightwatchman is not very well calculated to prevent a further spread of similar depradatione. In each " instance an entrance was effected through rear windows. There is so fur no clue that will lead to the detection of the perpe trators, and the amount of loss ia so small that it is not likely any special effort will be made to ap prehend the robbers." If King Solomon was alive he would now say: "Go to the travel ing rnan, learn his ways, and be wise." Mr. C. W. Battell, Cincin nati traveling man representing the Queen City Printing Ink Co., after suffering intensely for two or three days with lameness of the ; should er, resulting from rheumatism, completely cured it with two ap- Elications of Chamberlain's Pain aim. This remedy is gaining a wide reputation for its prompt cures of rheumatism, lame back, eprains, swellings, and lameness. 50 cent bottles for sale by Oa burn,' PROPOSES A PACKING HOUSE. Horace Woods, of the Packing Company, Henry Visits Krug Pendleton. Horace Woods, a representative of Henry Krug Packing Company, of St. Joseph, Missouri, visited ' Pendleton Thursday evening and talked on facts regarding pork packing. A plant for nork packing could only be successful operated by mak ing it complete enough to use every part of the carcass. This is done -II Z.A I 1 . in an. nrst-ciass pacKing nouses and is now a necessary feature- of the business. In the language of Mr. Woods "every part of the hog must be turned to some use, ex cepting the squeal; that cannot be saved." About 25,000 would con struct the building and purchase the machinery complete for a plant consuming 100 hogs per day, or 30,000 per year. Such a plant would employ from 30 to 50 men the year around. A plant with this capacity would be about as small as could be operated to ad vantage. To the mind of Mr, Woods, there exists no reason why a pork pack- ing plant could not be run in the Inland Empire as well as in placet) where they are now established. Mr. Woods has found in this sec- ' tion of the country a larger urn; ber of hogs than he expected' to find.i . His impressiona of the coun-, try are favorable, and if further in vestigations confirms his first op inions, he will bo on the ground with definite propositions. . Mr. Wood asserts that any state ments that there is a combination between packing house companies are ridiculous. He says they are continually fighting each other, instead of working as a trust.
