A Narrow Escape.
Owing to the happy caprice of that
Indescribable something that watches
ovor mankind and Is named, for
want of something definite, "luck,"
John B. Williams, from Eagle Point,
yesterduy narrowly escaped death.
The team which he waa driving be
cume f lightened near the Intersec
tion of East Suvonth and the Eagle
Point road, and run away In the M-
rectlon of Kagle Point. As the team
reached the Queen Anne adi'l'.lon
they swerv.d Into tho open rie.'d
struck a pile of rocks and demol
ished the carriage. Mr. Williams nux
hurled' to tho ground, but ho fot-tit
nutely fell between two stone pin")
upou soft ground and escaped unin
jured. Hud he fell three feet to
either side or five feet beyond he
would have been seriously Injured
and probably killed.
The team took fright at an unto
mobile driven by two youug men,
whose identity Is unknown, and be
fore Mr. Williams could control
them they got rway.
John McCarty, a laboring msn.
who was working upoa a bulldlm
near, rushed to Mr. Williams' assist
ance and succeeded in turning the
team Into a nearby fence, where they
were stopped. He then turned to
Mr. Williams, who, beyond a few
bruises, was uninjured.
Mr.( Williams obtained a carriage
from a local livery stable and left for
Eagle Point.
The spring wagon In which Mr.
Williams was riding was completely
demolished- as far as the bed was
concerned, but the running gear was
not badly damaged. Williams gath
ered up the remains of the wreck as
well as he could and, trailing the
wrecked outfit, left for home.

The county expenses, exclusive of
the expenses for roads and highways,
have been as follows for the past
seven years. The expenses for the
year 1905 were about 3000 higher
on account ot the expenses occas
ioned by the county exhibit main
tained at the Lewla and Clark fair.
1901 $27,366.57
1902 29,440.36
1903 27.597.65

1905 32,138.45
1906 29.862.01
1907 30,927.69
These are the expenses certified to
by the county clerk to the state
treasurer and on which Jackson
county's proportion of state taxes will
be based when thore la another basis

The Moat Commoa Cause ot

Rheumatism causes more pain and
suffering than any otner disease, for
the reasoo that It la the most commoa
of all Ills, and it is certainly gratifying
to sufferers to know that Cham berlaia'e
Liniment will afford relief, and asake
rest and sleep porsible. In many cases
the relief from pain, which is at first
temporary has become permanent,
while in old people subject to ohrooic
rneumatism,olten brought on by damp
ness or cbanges in tha weather, a per
manent cure cannot be expected ; the
relief from pain which this llnament
affords is alone worth many times Its
