The business portion of Monmouth was destroyed by fire last Friday morn ing, and could not be checked until nearly every store in town had been burned. - The coal buskers of the Oregon Im provement company, at Astoria, took fire Friday morning, supposedly from spontaneous combustion. The flames were extinguished before any great aamage was aone. The new home of the Boys' and Girls society, of Rortlaad, is to be completed ana formerly opened about the 15th inst, It is a three story building with full basement and will accommodate seventy-five children. The society now has twenty-six children in charge. Horses sold at the pound in Athena last week did not bring very high prices.

Deputy United States Marshal Hum phrey, of Portland, arrested J.P. Mertz, and as a further inducement to get ferry to go along he offered him a half interest in the claim. They left together over the Crescent City road about the 15th of March and stopped over night with a Mr. Reynolds, about about five miles from Waldo, and Perry was never seen alive after that. Event ually the disappearance of Perry caused considerable inquiry. After some searching Perry's watch was found and it was discovered that Mel- son had sold it at Shelly creek. The search was contiuued, and Perry's body finally located in an abandoned well about three miles from the main road to Crescent city and a short distance north of the California line. A bullet hole in tho left shoulder passed entirely through the -body, and proclaimed murder. Me son was arrested near Crescent City where he has been liv ing for the past few months, claiming tbat his raise was. made through the death of a relative. He will bo tried atGold Beach. A movement ha9 been inaugurated in Portland against all the nickel-in the-slot and other prize games. The Telegram of Saturday says: "District Attorney Lord, in a moment of virtuous indignation, has - issued an edict, through Chief of Police Minto, tending to restrict the local tobacconists from giving prises to purchasers of goods by so-called games of Vtaanoe. This will, if strictly enforced, do away with the nickel-ln-the-slot machines and all other similar devices whereby one stands a chance to get much for little. Chief Minto last night issued an order to the police that this mode of violat ing the laws against gambling must at once be discontinued. While nearly all the cigar dealers here are law-abiding men, they already chafe under the re striction, wnicn will greatly decrease their trade. But it Is not expected that any of them will lay themselves liable to arrest. 'It strikes me,' re marked a prominent cigar dealer to day, 'that this order is directed mainly at people in one class of business. Trade is dull enough without obstacles being thrown in our way to increase it. in the event that this order is strictly enforced, we shall take steps to see that church and other similar raffles and lotteries also are stopped.' District Attornoy Lord -states that he was actuated to proceed against these Chance device games by reason of a number 01 written complaints filed in his offioe'by reasonable and well-known people." The Origin of Cheddar Cheese. Cheddar cheese was made in politics much discussion would have resulted from the report that Spain is deliberately and carefully prepar ing to make an appeal to all the governments of Europe for moral support as against the United States in the controversy concerning Cuba. The Spanish soldiers have had a frightful summer in the distressed island, owing to the excessive heat and the ravages of disease. Little news of fighting has been received, and there is no reason to think Spain is' making any headway toward the suppression of the rebellion. The Spanish government is making the most strenuous efforts to increase the strength of the Spanish navy with reference to a possible conflict with the United States. Our presi dential election may be followed by the outbreak of very serious troubles between our government and that of the stubborn and bitter Spaniards. The prospect is serious.

Hood An Attorney -General's Opinion. Another question involving the laws regulating sufferage has been presented to Attorney-General Idlemrn for an opinion. It came from a soldier at Vancouver who asks the question, "Has a soldier a right to vote m Oregon." The attorney-general says: "Tlie question cannot be an swered directly, as an abstract proposition. It depends upon con ditions. These are: "Is he entitled to citizenship generally under the law? 'If go has he complied with the require ments of the law necessary to con fer citizenship?" Section 4 of article 2 of the con stitution is quoted, which snys : " ' For the purpose of voting, no person shall be deemed to have trained or lost residence by reason of his preserrce or absence while em ployed in the service of the United &fnifl nr rf fna ofata nt vV,;tA Pills wHoSarsaparuiS 'engaged in navigation of waters of Od, Greatest Cures mm shown by thousands ot honest, voluntary testimonials which naturally and actually produce 3d, Greatest Sales According to the statements ot druggists all over the country.

Mood' Sarsaparilla Is the best It is the One True Blood Purifier. this state or of the United States, or of the high seas, etc' "The evident intention of this section of the constitution," says the attorney-general, "was not to disfranchise nor take away the sufferage. It simply means that in determining the place of resi dence, presence or absence in the service of the United States or state should not be taken into ac count, or otherwise expressed. Neither presence nor absence in the service of the United States or the state is the condition upon which the fact of residence can be affirmed or denied. Any one en gaged in the service of the govern ment may acquire residence as any other person not engaged in such service, by conforming to our statutes. Therefore, if a Boldier or any other man in the employment .of the United States government is entitled to citizenship generally and complies with the laws of our state requisite to citizenship, there is no reason, in my judgment, why he should not exercise his right of sufferage in this state.

Individuality aad Styla. In one sense Fenelon was perhaps right Individuality is sometimes called style, and a man is 'seldom more suc cessful in changing his nature thau the leopard in changing his spot. Tintoret to vtm furious, Rembrandt was emo tional, Rnbeus was splendid, and their styles were but the expressions of their individualities. Iu the same sense Mi chael Angolo had style, though a Wiuckelmanu would have pronouueed him a barbarian; Tenicr had stylo, thongh Louis XTV called him a "mag got" and would not tolerate his pic tures; Delacroix had style, though the classicists said his pictures looked as though painted with a drunken broom. Each one of them expressed himself iu his own peculiar way aud o$seftsel stylo as Fenelon described if. Why, then, were they deuouiwvd: Why were Huro, Alfred de Mussett, Millet aud Manet scouted as rtbiils? Why do we today talk about the poems of Walt Whitmau and the lasulsrapes of Claude Mouet as lucking iu style since none of us denies that they show strong individualities? Is it tint because they fail in giving that other style which Sir Jiwhua called the "grand stvle " and the meaning of which Buffoti sug gest in that phrase, "to render prop erty?" tcnbner'a HE BELIEVES IN PRAISIMG THOSE TO WHOM PRAISE IS DUE.

When the temptation becomes too strong and these would be 'make rights' do interfere, tbey are more likely to make things far worse than to improve them. Theirs is a better attitude toward life than that of one who takes pleasure in the exhibi tion of man's evil passions a disposi tion we see tuanifcHted when a qnarrel arises iu the street and a crowd flocks at once to encourage and enjoy the spec tacle. Th retributive feeling may be right, but we must not put iuto actiou all our right feelings. Restraint in do ing good is important as well as re straint from evil. I suppose children have suffered quite as 'much from the interference of friends who would mod ify a too strict diet and enlarge a too limited list of amusements as they have from their parents' restrictions.

Many and various are tbe discussions of tbe "new woman," but most of the women we've seen have no aspirations toward the emancipation of taeir sex from any- yoke except tbe burdensome yoke of ill health. They all aeem to think and think rightly that their proper field it their home, an1 to work faithfully iu this field she must be strong and hearty. Care is peculiarly woman ' heri tage. But it was not the " new woman" or any other kind of woman that we started ont to talk about. It is a "man in the case " this time, and a man, too, that thinks he is the newest kind of a "new man." - ' , Krom what he tlls u lie has good cause to think so. There is no comparison between bis present state of freling and that of two years ao. But let the following speak for itaeli. We published a few weeks ago a statement of the miraculous cure of Mr. J. M. Foster, of Carter's Creek, now one of the Brald't men, from locomotor ataxia (a dis ease said to be incurable), by the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. Tbe account was read by numbers of peo ple who were ere-wiinntr of his bodily suf lag and who kmw what Mr. Foster stated to he true beyond a perad venture of a doubt ; it was read by others. al. who believe it jast the same as if they, too. had seen all, be cause Mr. Fomrr is well known over the country to be a man of unimpeachable Tera eity. 8o stron- is bis belief in" the Dr. Wil liams' Pills, he has influenced a number of oth-r people to use them, and all have be came as new perwns. One1 of rite number is a vounjt man of Southport, Maury Couuiy. Tennessee, Mr. I X. F. Murphy. He is only twentv-one rears ! old, and being of rather a drlirate coustitu-! tion. has ieen afflicted the creater part of, his life. Young Murphy says, he verilv believes i that very few people of any age or clime nave oeen called upon to endure the bodily suffering which he has undercone. In an interview with the Ihnli, he told ns the following, which we give in his own words: " Fire years ago I was attacked with a severe spell of la grippe, which affected me ery ouch. However., with the summer before me. I gradually grew be:er until I considered myself nearly well, ben in September following I was prostrated by an attack of bitiousnesa. " I tank the medicine administered byonr family physician and was soon on foot again, thoagh with a large amount of malaria ia my system. Being ia a low state of health. I was troubled all winter with dreadful colds aad oMighs. "The following spring 1 was again at tacked with another severe case of bilious ness, aad snly rallied in part from this spell when, at the suggestim of some of m v friends, I resorted to varioas patent medicines for relief,; but without satisfsctorr results. The nialaria eoatinned. and there "was no end to my takiwc cold, which at last began to settle on btA luar. which was weak, in asmuch a H had undergone the terrible ef fects of aa abscess when I was quite small. As a result expectoration begun and grew worse until Msv. 1SSM. " Now comes the period ia my sieknesr which was to tbe last degree gloomy. Be cause of the inactivity of my liver,' I could, not eat anything that would agree with uie. and, to add to my already intense sufferings inflammatory rheumatism gst me in its grip. It was dreadful. Mo one ean imagine wba agonies I suffered- la this condition I be came as helpless as a babe, for I could not raise a hand. I was considered to be on tbe verge ol tbe grave, and 1 despaired of mv life. " Deliverance came ia fhis Way: Through.1 the influence of Mr. J..M. Foster, a frieiid of mine. I was induced to give Dr. Wil liams' Pink Pills for Pale People a fair trial. The result was simply marvelous. .. Within, two weeks after 1 began taking tbe pills, a. ' marked improvement in my condition wan to be noted. I steadily continued to im prove ontil I reached snv present state of good health. The hand of 'death was staved for tbe time being, and the grave cheated ot its victim. All praise is dne to Dr. WilUams'Tilis. Surely I gave them a (air trial, for I used forty dollars ($40) worth of them and ought to know whereof 1 speak. I doubt not that tbe name of Dr. Williams will rank among tbe foremost of the greatest ueaeactors of tbe age. "This is submitted to sick and tnflering hnraanity." These cases will not seeas so remarkable if a body remembers that it is stated by men of science that tbe entire bnman hodv is re newed once in every seven years.' lit is in teresting to inquire how this can be accom plished. Of courxe, it is readily understood that the work of disintegration and decay goes steadily on. but how are the warted partifles reapplied ? It is bv means of tk- circulation of the blood. All tbe nourish ment which is taken into ibe atAmai-h i. after digestion, received by the blood and' carried to every organ, tissue and fibre in the body.

Otherwise ft will not only be un able to fulfill its mission properlv, but it will smtter disease throughout Lhe'mtem Indeed, it is from impure blood that st great majority of diseases originate, and it is only by making the blood pure that thev can be cured. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People possess a building-up strength giving power which make them just the medicine for those who find themselves in a weak and rtin-down condition, either as a result of illness or because of impure or im poverished blood. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People are considered an unfailing specific fir such diseases as locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis, Su Vitus dance, sciatica, neu ralgia, rheumatism, nervous headache, tbe after effects of la grippe, palpitation of the heart, pale and sallow complexions, that tired feeling resulting from cervoos pros tration ; all diseases resulting from vitiated humors in the blood, such as scrofula, chronic erysipelas, etc They are also a specific for troubles peculiar to females such as suppressions, irregularities, and ail -forms of weakness.
