A MODERN MIRACLE
"Truly miraculous seemed the recovery
of Mrs. Mollis Holt of this place, writes
J. O. R. Hooper, Woodford, Tenn., "she
was so wasted by coughing up pus from
her lungs. Doctors declared her end so
near that her family had watched by her
bed-side forty-eight hours; when, at my
urgent request Dr. King's New Discovery
was given her, and with the astonishing
result that improvement began, and con
tinued until she finally completely recov
ered,, and is a healthy woman today."

E. L SMITH
"One of the best meetings ever held,"
is the way President E. L. Smith, of the
Northwest Fruitgrower's association, ex
pressed himself today on the La Grande
meeting of the association.
which . closed '
last night
Mr. Smith passed down the O. R. St N.
today to his home in Hood River . after
presiding at the meeting of the fruitgrow
ers and is delighted wiih the success of
the meeting. A large nu Tiber of promi
nent fruitgrowers were in attendance and
many valuable advances were made along
practical lines.
"Utah sent a strong delegation," said
Mr. bmith. "and exhibited great interest ;
I- t.m ...nrtatlnn and it mission and ad-;.
rertised that state well at tne meeting oy ;
showing the progress mads by that state
along intelligent lines in fruitgrowing."
The weather was delightful in Grande
Ronde valley and the delegates had an
opportunity to view si ma of the finest
orchards in the state in the vicinity of La
Grande. .
Other prominent men from the west-
em portion of ths state who attended the
meeting were Dr. James ' Witycombe, of
Corvallis, and T. T. Geer, of Salem, both
candidates for the republican nomination
for governor, and Colonel E. Hofer, editor
of the Salem Journal, who addressed the
convention last evening on the subject of
strawberry culture.
E fA(IS
The cities make a better showing than
the rural districts in the matter of illiter
acy among children, according to federal
census bulletin just issued. In the North
Atlantic states, where the so-called cities
country includes many large . towns or
under 25,000, the proportions of child ilS -
eracy in the city is 7.8 to the 1000
and in the country 10.8. In the
South Atlantic . and . South Centra
states the difference is very much more
marked, and of . course in favor of the
cities. The state in which there is the
least illiteracy among children ten to 14
years of age (3.4 to the 10001 is Nebras
ka. In a comparison confined to native
white children Washington leads, with
Connecticut a close second. All states
show progress between 1890 and 1900
The bulletin very properly notes that the
greater illiteracy in the country does not
necessarily indicate that the regard for
education is less here than in the city
One cause of the difference is the difficulty
of providing .school facilties for a scatter
ed country population, and the develop
ment of the school transportation system
already inaugurated in many farming
communities will tend to remove this dis
advantage. NAIL ORDER SERVICE
not only very satisfactory, but a great
convenience when you want such goods
as are carried by an uy-io uait arug
store.
We want the trade of distant people
and hold out all the inducements possible
to get it. Our prices are right and ail
goods are guarnteed. If you are not sat
isfied witn wna. we send you. return the'
goods and wa wii! rafu.id the money.

enough to cover pr;cj, and wj will return

ease, which had robbed me of sleep and
of all interest in life. 1 had tried many dif
ferent doctors and several medicines, but

THE OTHER SIDE
We notice In the previous issue of the
"Observer" a little squib coming from
the pen of one of the esteemed members
of the Commercial Club team which is in
tended to leave the impression that the p.
N. G. team is made up ' of a bunch of
"rough house rowdies" whose only intent
was rough work, knowing nothing what-
,ver of the game while he is a -little
,mh whoae renutatinn wnuld hatarniahed

Permit us to say that the 0. N. G. team
wn coached to play a gentlemanly game
and when the rough work was started by
one in whose care is the teaching of
young ladies and gentlemen, the boys of
the Company were amazed. Although
they don't claim to know all about the
game as is the pretense of the Club coach,
they do know when they are getting ths
worst of it. The teaching of a soldier is
when he is fought to fight back and when
one of their members has his nose broken
and another has a punch in the. sojar
plexus it would be the general opinion
that there must be some rough work by
someone besides the "Militia." We have
authority, that we deem as good as any
man in the town who claims to bs a
coach, that that was not a rough game.
until after the two men were hurt This
little explanation is entirely unnecessary
i n a way but as the notice published yes
terday might leave a wrong impression
with some who were not there, but those
who were lucky enough to see the affair
know well enough that the rough play did
not start with the 0. N. G.

AN ACRE FOR THE BOY
I believe in giving the boy or girl an
acre or two of good land close to the
house upon the understanding that I am
to furnish trees, plants and seeds to stock
ths plot and that he or she is first to
supply the family with all the fruit and
vegetables the family can use. and then
havs the balance to sail to best advant
age, the proceeds to be his or her own.
This will serve to center the children's in
terest in ths farm and the conviction will
soon follow that thore is no place where a
person can live as independent and pure
a life as in the country. -rW. Q., Ohio.

JUDGE LOWELL S LECTURE
Stephen A. Lowall's lecture, 'Li w and
Lawyers, Then and Now," as the second
number on the Popular Course, was high
ly appreciated last night by a large
audience. The subject was deep and the
speaker convinced his hearers that he
had given much thought to thisbransh of
the profession. Tne first pirt of the
lecture dealt with . ths ancient law,
descending to modern times. The latter
part of the lecture, dealing with the
methods of present day liwyers and his
advice to young men contemplat'ng taking
up that profession, was particularly
instructive. The ad Iress in the mornin?
at the school and the evening lecture w 11
certainly make Judge Loell beUer ap
