If there is anyone thing that needs
to be purified, it is politics, so the re
former says, and 'many agree thereto.
But blood tells, and as a blood- purifier
and liver corrector Simmons Liver Reg
ulator is the best medicine. "I use it in
preference to anv other." So wrote Mr.
8. H. Hysetl, of Middleport, Ohio. And
Dr. D. 8. Russell, of Farmville, Va.,
writes,- ''It fulfills all yon promise for it."
HE "TURNED THEM. LOOSE."
A Historical. Marriage and DlTorce Pro
ceeding of 1856. .
The old pioneers are fast passing
away, and with them, too often, inter
esting facts in local history, which ap
pear in this day odd or unconventional.
But when it is remembered that the
three departments of government, legis
lative, executive and judicial, were car
ried on .In a very lax manner in those
early days, when the unlearned, un
practiced, but generally quite intelligent,
men. held the chief positions in church
or state, it is not to be wondered at that
the various transactions of these func
tionaries seemed at times a little irregu
lar from the standpoint of Jjurisprudence
or religion as administered today.
It is our intention to give the particu
lars of a marriage and divorce of 1856,
which happened on 15-Mile creek, near
The Dalles. The facts are well authen
ticated, though the historian prefers
that his name be not mentioned openly.
Jn the year named Lew Henderson was
justice of the peace on 15-Mile creek,
with a jurisdiction of 100 miles or more
to the south and east and as far as the
Cascades to the west. There came one
beautiful morning a couple to be mar
ried, and Henderson was requested to
tie the knot. He of course did so in the
approved manner of the day. Three
months later the same couple came be
fore him, bright and smiling, but with
the following complaint, made by the
recently-made husband :
"Judge, three months ago you tied
the knot which made us one, but we
find we are not suited to each other,
We have made a mistake. There is an
incompatibility between us, and we
want to be severed from the marriage
relation. We want a divorce."
"But, my dear sir," said Henderson,
"I am only a justice of the peace.
can marry you, but I have no authority
to grant a divorce."
"Who has?"
"I don't know ; perhaps Salem would
be the nearest place."
"Well, now, we don't intend to walk
to Salem. You tied the knot, and
don't see any reason why yon cannot
untie it. Can't yon say 'whereas' some
thing and turn us loose?"
Henderson was the most accommo
dating man in the world. He was
plainly perplexed, but resolved to do
what he could to grant the prayer of the
couple standing before him. So here-
quired of each that they sign a contract
in duplicate absolving the other from
the vows of marriage they had taken
three months previously, and in the
language of his petitioners, "turned
them loose." Neither Henderson nor
any one else has ever heard of them
from that day to this. Perhaps both
are dead. . The grass over Henderson's
grave has been green many springtimes,
and there are comparatively few today
in1 The Dalles who knew him.

An Evening of Music.
. A choice musical program will be
given at the Congregational church next
Friday evening by two young ladies.
One is Misa Hattie Stevens, who was
the successful, contestant to . appear as
pianist at the world's fair from Mon;
tana. The other is Miss Gladys Jones
who has charmed audiences by her
singing all over Oregon, and is said to be
the state's sweetest singer. . Of the
many complimentary notices given the
young ladies, we select the following:
Miss Gladys Jones displayed
her remarkable voice to advantage in a
pleasing solo, "As the Dawn," artisti
cally rendered. Oregonian.
For the playing and singing of MisS
Hattie Stevens everybody has the highest
praise. ' In time and touch and finish of
execution she has eminently the qualifi
cations that make her a fine pianist.
She has a rich, fresh, clear voice and
sings with apparently so little exertion.
Her friends have much to hope for in the
development of her voice. Lewiston
