A LlKCTKNANT I'HUrALI.V IllfATKN.
LiuutuiiHiil Miller of the tialvalniii
Army, who la apparently a true soldier
of the C'roHH, cni into a store the other
day to sell War Vrien. A young man be
hind the counter refuged to buy, but as
he turned around to show llm Cry to
another man huh n I the desk, the young
man suddenly uiih all his might hit
him several heavy blows on the bacx ol
the head, l.itnt. Miller had committed
no ullence excepting trying to sell his
papers . and left With a "Uod bless
you on bis Ins (or lila brutal,
cowardly astaila t whoee i.ame he
does not kiow and does not want
to know, as lie would - lint i.ixult
the mtri-iful, loving 8avior to whom his
life is CMiiiecralffd by having him ar
rrKled. As a m rt ol vicaiious (-.i niHti
uient, Ihe youi'g btuiher must now daily
Hiiluuit to prayers for his salvation by
ihe lads and lat sies of the Army corps of
Oicgon Cll.y.
Stock ok Uimjih in LiTiuATiok.-i-Tlie
attck of goods of the store that was
e tabliHhed by J;avid Uftulield In Dr.
John Welch's building, would be a little
puzzled as to who is its owner, could it
think and talk. Mr. Cnulieid sold the
same to Rolla Woods, his clerk, and
gave him a. bill of sale; Mr. Woods
transferred it to It. Bililer, hired by Mr.
Caulield as butcher. In the same way.
But in the mean time Allen & Lewis
came, through Sheriff Gaming, and took
p 'Snession of the goods because Caulield
owed them $24itj. Now Kihler has filed
a complaint to recover the stock of
goods that he claims Is lawlully his and
valued at $1100, and in which he auks
$750 damages from the shetiir for sein
ing Ai good. Allen A Lewis evidently
want to tench BtoreLeepera by this ob
ject lesson that when a dealer breaks up
in business owing them they will get all
lliey possibly can to cover their losses.
Lincoln's Birthday Monday, FhI).
ruary 12th, the Nona of Veterans cele
brated the birth of Abraham Lincoln
(which occurred in 1800) by a convoca
tion at their hall, The camp was called
to order by Captain W. K. Johnson.
The first one called on for an impromptu
speech was Private Hermann, the mail
agent, at whose solicitation the meeting
had assembled. He Baid th it he lived
in Sorinulield, III., in his earlv veurs.
and as a small hoy had sat on Mr. Lin
coln's knee. On the second day after
the presidential election of '00 little Tad
Lincoln came into "our home," he said,
threw his cap in the air and exclaime I,
".Mrs. Hermann, dad ia elected presi
dent !" Short speeches were also made
by Capt. J. T. Apperson, Capt. -J. P.
Shaw and llev. Oilman Parker.
A Fi.attkuino Success. The enter
tainment iriven by the peonle of Cane-
malt at Pope's hall Friday evening was
liberally patronized by the public and if
richly oWrved to be. The singing by
the four Aldredgn brothers was superior
to that of many traveling troupes of
burnt-cork minstrels, and they were
most liberally annlauded. The drama
of "The Last Loaf" was so well repre
sented that the universal verdict was
one of surprise at the histrionic talent of
the amateur actors The managers, W.
A. Hedges and his friends, wore well
rewarded for their tireless efforts by a
handsome contribution to the fund for
the school bell. TheCaneinuh Dramatic
Club wishes to thank E. J. McKi trick
for kindness and assistance bIiuwii dur
ing the rehearsal of the drama. ,

Attack on Christianity. J. N. Hoff
man of Sherwood has sent in a commun
ication in which he assails both the
Catholic and Proteelant churches, the
O. U. M. and the A. P. A., and very
appropriately eulogizes liberty. He
makes the great mistake of crediting
the Christian churches with no U'Xid as
though they were institutions of ihe
Devil, whereas to combat him is their
special mission The church has its
shortcomings, no doubt, for its servants,
have the frailties com mm to human
kind, but Mr. Hoffman is unjustly
severe.

A Racking Cough
Cured by Ayer's Cherry Pectoral
Mrs. P. I). Hall, 217 Genesee St.,
Lock port, N. Y., says : . !
" Over thirty years ago, I remember
hearing my futlmr describe the wonder
ful curative effects .of Ayer's Cherry
Pectoral. During a recent attack of La
Grippe, which assumed the form of a
catarrh, soreness of the lungs, accom
' piinlcd by an aggravating cough.' I.
used various remedies and prescriptions.
While some of these medicines partially
alleviated the coughing during the day,
none of them afforded me any relief from
, that spasmodic action of the lungs which
would seize uie the moment I attempted
to lie down at night. After ten or twelve
such nights, I was - :
Nearly In Despair,
and had about decided to sit up all night
In my easy chair, and procure what
sleep I could in that way. It then oc
curred to me that 1 had a bottle of
Ayer's Cherry Pcqtoral.' I took a
poouful of this preparation in little
water, and was able to He down without
cottgbing. In a few moments I full
asleep, and awoke in the morning
greatly refreshed and fooling much
better. I took a toaspoonful of the Pec
toral every nlglit for a week, then grad
ually decreased the doso, and in two
weeks my cough was cured."
