Repairing
Neatly '
Done
Never thought of such a
sign for a medicine did you ?
Well, it's a good sign for
Scott's Emulsion. The body
'ias to be repaired like other
liings and Scott's Emulsion is
the medicine that does it.
These poor bodies wear out
from worry, from over-work,
from disease. They get thin
and weak. Some of the new
ones arc not well made and
all of the old ones are racked
from long usage.
Scott's Emulsion fixes all
kinds. It does the work both
inside and out. It makes soft
bones' hard, thin blood red,
weak lungs strong, hollow
places full. Only the best ma
terials are used in the patching
and the patches don't show
through the new glow of health.

St Pai'I., March 17. Th weather
in this vicinity tiday is blight and
clear, but high wind empbaiized
the cold. In this city Lewis Or-luwi-ki,
aged 70 years, was, found
dead early today on the street, ap
parently as a result of exposure to
the cold. Details from the Ptorm
that raged for three days in the
Dakotas are blow to arrive, oiii(i
principally to the' condition of the
wires. At least four and possibly
many more persons are dead be
cause of the storm, and the loss ol
slock will be very heavy. The
storm was filt most by the new
settlers, and heavier loss of life is
feared among these people.
All trains are still tied up in
North Dakota, although rotary
plows and large crews have been
working steadily in an attempt to
clear tho track for through tmins.
Death of James C. Tolman.
Tho death of General James Clark
Tolman at bin home in Ashland on Sat
11 mJ ly moraine lat remove one of tin
uintt prominent pioneer figures in South
ern Oregon history. Gen. Tolmun wub
born in Ohio diirlm the early settle
ment of that state anil came to Cali
fornia witti the Ili-Hl of the fold fceekcrF.
j He afterward returned lo Iowa, wheie
j he was married to Miss Elizabeth Cue,
I and 111 I8.rj2 crossed the plains as in.
pliot mid captain ol a truiu of uo
wagons. The train reached reka 11
eighty-two davs, without the los of a:
animal, although compelled to tiaht
their way through the Modoc country.
Gon. Tolman and part of the train
crossed the Siskivuug Into the Rogue
Uiver valley, being the first settler U
come from the east direct.
When tbe state government was or
ganized In 1 808 Mr. Tolman was elected
county judge of Jackson County and
was re-elected io 1862, although tbe
county was overwhelmingly Demo
cratllc. He was nominated lor governor
on the Republican ticket in 1874, but
was defeated. In 1878 he was appointed
surveyor-general of Oregon by Presi
dent Hayes and reappointed by Presi
dent Arthur in 1?2.
Gen. Tolman, in tbe early '50's went
to Coos County and lived there fortume
time, finally returning to Jackson
County. During hi- (tar in Coos County
he took up a donation claim on the s te
of the present city of Marshfltld and
started that town.
Be was eighty-nine years and three
days of ace at the time of bis death.
Lakevicw Experiences Earthquake
Shocks.
From the L&kevlew KxamtneM
The people of Lnkeview have been
aroused in a high pitch of excitement
during the past week In fact the excite
ment borders on terror with some peo
ple who have before experienced tbe vi
brations from earthquake shocks, where
Hi ev have seen buildings topple over
and fall about them and the earth come
np and "shake" bands with them.
No such calamity haB thus far sent
the people of Lakevicw terror-stricken
to a place of safety, and doubtless no
such a thing will occur. But it is true
nevertheless, that our people have for
the past week experienced forcible vi
brations of the earth. Some say the
first shock was fell last Thursday night,
but the- heaviest one occurred at 10:83
on Saturday evening, followed by light
vibrations at early hourB on Sunday
morning. Again on Sunday evening at
9:07 a light shock was felt, and on Mon
day nlcbt at 10:30 the earth tremb'ed.
The Saturday evening shook "rattled"
things up considerably including tho
nerves of the more timid people. Some
believe tho quake widened the breach
In the south wall of the Odd Fellows
hall, or the Field building, whileothers
who have been watching the break
think the wall was not affected much
by the quake, ,
At any rate the trouble has caused a
sensation in Lnkeview, and the strange
visitor is much talked about.

A Short National Anlhem.
Japan hus perhaps the shortest of nil I
national anthems. It Is called "Klml i
Ua Vo," from Its first three words, and ,
consists of thlrtv-two syllables, which I
count In nootrv. however, ns thlrtv-one. I
The exccedliiK brevity Is due to the
national fondness for conciseness of
phrase and for ecouomy of expression
in all forms of art.
The patriotic song Is what tbe Japa
nese call a "tnnka," or verse of live
lines, the first and third being of five 1
and the others of seven syllables. Be
low is given the anthem In Japanese,
wltb an English translation:

An Empire Sold at Auction.
The Roman empire was once sold to
the highest bidder. On the death of
Pertlnax in 103 the Prrclorlan guards
put up the empire for sale by auction,
and, after un animated competition be
tween Hulplelan and Jull.iu. it was
knocked down to Ihc latter for U.250
drachmas. The Romans held auctions
of various kinds, tbe .proceedings be
ing much the same In all cases. The
auctio sub bnst.i. which was a sale of
plunder, was held trader a spear stuck
in the ground. Tbe inngister auetionis.
or auctioneer, was chosen from among
the argeutnrll, or money changers, and
bis assistants were the cashiers.
Perhaps!
How many people when they marry
carefully put aside their joint lore let
ters as one of tbe most cherished pos
sessions of their future life, and In
bow many cases afterward do they
ever take them out and look at them?
Now, why Is this? Partly perbups
because tbe time of romance is over
and practical, everyday life has be
gun: partly, also, we will hope, because
now they can say so many nice things
to each other, and there Is no need to
reau over me past nice miuga uiey

There 13 a Washington legend con
nected wltb Tome mountain which is
always- told to those. who visit the
Ilcniapo country. The mountain Is tba
highest in the range, and on a clear
day, It is said, one can see Sandy
Hook from the summit. Half way uu
the mountain there Is a deep cleft In
the rocks, at the bottom of which is a
spring. From some bidden point water
fulls into the spring with a steady
dropping not unlike the ticking of a
watch.
"Listen and you will hear George
Washington's watch," say the old set
tlers, "lie dropd it Into tbe spring
when he came up the mountain to
watch tbe British leave New York."
Tick tick tick tick" Is the sound
which conies out of tbe rocks.
"It Is going yet," says the guide.
