If it required an annual outlay of $100 to insure a family against any serious consequences from an attack of bowel complaint during the year there are many who would feol it their duty to pay it; that thoy could not afford to risk their lives and those of their fam ilies or such an amount. Any one- can get this insurance for 25 cents, that be ing the price of a bottle of Chamberlain Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea remedy. In almost every neighborhood some one has died from an attack of bowel complaint before medioine could be procured or a physician summoned. One or two doses of this remedy will cure any ordinary case. It never fails. Can you afford to take the risk for so small amount? For sale by Geo. H. Haskins.

For some months past a young man, giving his name as J. X. Case which wasn't his name at all, ex cept that he was a tough case has been teaching school in the Ante lope district, Jackson county. He attended the teachers' examination at Jacksonville last week and was there recognized by AL Thornton, of Ashland, as R. V. Jackson, whom he knew at Oregon City. Jackson disclaimed any knowledge of him self under that name, but Thornton was positive, and he knew that Jackson was wanted at the above named place to answer to a charge of forgery and he, Thornton, made his suspicions known and Deputy Sheriff Hyatt came down immed iately and carried away his man, who in the meantime, Sheriff Pat terson had been keeping guard over. A telegram from Oregon City in the Oregonian, on May 14th, reads this way : "R. V. Jackson taught the district school at Highland last year. In July there turned up two school orders bearing the forged signature of Clerk Harrington, and Jackson was charged with the forgeries. He had negotiated the or ders, which aggregated (TO in ralue. He promptly left the country when charged with the commission of the crime, and Sheriff Mad dock has been looking for him erpr since. Ha was traced to Klamath county, thence away down into California, and there lust atteroSeers had twice been al the point of nabbing htm." J. L.
