When the wall is out of plumb the building is more or less unsafe, and the higher the wall is carried out of the per pendicular the greater the danger of col lapse. It's about so with the health ; it is out of plumb when the digestion is impaired, wnen there is a dull, sluggish feeling, with nervousness, irritability and sleeplessness. Every day that these symptoms are neglected in creases the liabil ity to physical collapse. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery cures diseases of the stomach and other organs of diges tion and nutrition. It purifies the blood and cures nervous ness, irritability and sleeplessness by coring the diseases, in which they originate. "For three years I suffered untold agony," writes Mrs. H. R. White, of Stanstead, Stanstead Co.. Quebec. I would have spells of trembling and being sick at my stomach, pain in right side all the tun ; then it would work up into my stomach and such distress It is impossible to describe. I wrote to the World's Dispensary Medical Association, stating my case to them, and they very promptly answered and told me what to do. I took eight bottles of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, and five vials of Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. Thanks to Dr. Pierce and his medicine I am a well woman to-day. Dr. Pierce's medicine also cured my mother of liver complaint from which she has been a sufferer for fifteen years. We highly recommend these medicines to all suffering people."

Following is a complete list of the SCHOOL GRADUATIONS AND ELECTIONS Hew Teachers Elected. The An nual School Meeting. . Teach ers' Meeting. Eighth Grade Graduating Exercises. The board of directors of the Oregon Hty school district voted last Friday light to have a gentlemen from Ken' tucky, as superintendent of the city hcIiooIs. His name if II. A. Hayes, of Hender son, Ky., and he was employed through .1 teachers' agency, who not only guar intee his educational ability and peda jogic accomplishments, but pay his fare 'rotn Kentucky to Oregon City and re '.urn, if he does not prove satisfactory to 'he school board. He is said to have liven satisfaction as school superintend ent in a city of 15,000 inhabitants. Mr. Hayes comes from a land of "co lonels," pretty women and ohivalric nen the borne of statesmen and val iant soldiers the state that produces ine horses and the best old bourbon itid rye in the world. A teachers' agnney differs from a mat tmo"ial agency in several respects. In be latter the goods sometimes come L). 0. D and the agency makes no pro vision for the return of the article, if it loos not provs satisfactory. In this re pect, the teachers' agency has points lecidedly in its favor. No one questions the qualifications of Ir. Hayes, but many people openly ex press the opinion that the board should Uave given Oregon applicants the Dref rence ; that there is no incentive for eachers to apply themselves diligently 'or promotion, when they are coolly nrnnddown. The board of regents of he University of Oregon, have finally lecidod that it does not always pay to end Kant for presidents, and selected "resident P. L. Campbell, of the Mon noutli Normal school for the place, an ducator who has made his reputation n Oregon. There was also capable material in he Oregon City suburban schools for lie grade teacher vacancies. All the grade teachers were re-elected, vho filed their applications with the 'oard. Misses Erma Lawrence and Harriet Case did not desire positions, 'gain, therefore did not file applica ioiis. The board ordered an increase of sala ies for each of the grade teacheis of V2 50 each. Following are the teach rs re-elected with their grades and the nontlily waire to be paid attached: Barclay school Addie E. Clark, prin cipal, JOS; Bade H. Chase, eighth grade, 47 50; Myrtle E.

The reason for the oversight was not far to seek. H. Cross and Colonel Miller were especial objects of his venom, and he boldly declared that they, with per haps Billy Ganonif, formed the worst and most dangerous political ring in Oregon City and Clackamsi county. The tone of Mr. Ryan's speech was more moderate. He gave his own voucher for the fitness for office and th good quali ties of the candidates on his side, and thought it would be better policy for the people to vote for republicans who would work than for their rivals, who would only make "flowery" speeches. The judge is a good and popular man, but he will not have any votes to spare on June 2d. The general tendency to extravagance of the republicans in thiB county is sure to detach numbers of voters from them on election day. The citizens followed closely in the wake of the republicans, and there was also a fair-sized audience to greet them. As talkers thev compared very favorably with their rivals. Hedges laio Dare tne methods of the republicans at the last legislative session. He showed very cleat ly why men with little education and still less judgment and independ ence are always nominated for legis lators by republican conventions. Go it, Gilbert ; we hope you will be elected and may have the opportunity to drag out into sunlight all the corruption and rottenness to be found at Salem. Mr. Eastham dirjcted his remarks mainly at the mismanagement of county affairs and the alarming growth of its indebtedness. There was plenty of scope for him here, but we think he hardly made the most of his case. For the conduct of officials is much more closely tcrutinized now than was for merly the case. Mr. Clara, who pro fessed himself a republican, explained how he bi-oame associated with the re form movement. He impressed us as being in earnest about his opinions, and will, if elected, prove no doubt a worthy representative. It is the general opinion in this part that the election will be close and that neither party can afford to neglect a single vote. Aramoiio.

Four years ago, when Ueorge J. Brownell was elected state senator, a certain element of the people'B party raised a cry agajgpst fusing with the democrats, yet they electioneered for Brownell and other re publican candidates; but more than thatj they were also leaders of an in significant little order called the M. P A., or vigilance committee, ot which I was also a member. So just before elec tion I met a co-member, and he told me that at the previous meeting (from which I was absent) they had passed a resolu tion endorsing a certain candidate Now, in the first place, this was not a political organization and therefore had no business to pass a political resolu tion; and today that same element stands at the head of the socialist party. 1 think it is slmplv to draw votes from the citizens' party and cause the elec tion of republicans With them it is a case of you cannot tickle me too much now; we are not single yet. This, my friends, is wtiy 1 ara not and never will be a socialist, as long as present con ditions prevail. You all know me.

L7Wi9f The terra is almost a misnomer, now-a- day9. For the "century-living crow" has been schooled by experience. The scare- crow dosn't scare him. Investigating orni thologists say that he can tell a gun from a stick and can count up to seven. Evidently tne crow nas progressed from the ignorance of his ancestry. The crow is in 1 some things in ( advance of the human family, There are scare crows which S&scared our grauaiatners, and which are j ust as fearsome to ub. In spite of the fact that some scientific investigators say, "There's nothing to be afraid of. A scarecrow can't hurt yon," the bulk 01 men and women still be lieve the scare crow is a power ful and destroy ing fetish. This attitude is most marked in relation to certain fonus of disease. In diseases of the lungs and respiratory organs, for instance, it is the custom to assume that there is no cure for the cough, no help for the hemorrhage, no healing for the lungs. The scarecrow, Con- mmbtwn. is set ut. otten tailing tne lorm of some inexperienced and unskillful prac titioner who denies hope or help to the victim of disease. Vet the records go to show that stubborn cowghs have been cured, that persistent hemorrhages have been stopped, and that weak lungs have been made strong Dy the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. TESTIMONY TALKS. All the claims in the world for the cura tive virtues of a medicine will not equal one testimony to the actual fact of cure. Thousands of testimonials like the follow ing have been received from persons cured of lung "troubles,"bronchitis, hemorrhage, obstinate coughs, etc., by "Golden Medical Discovery . , "I was very sick indeed," writes Mrs. Mollie Jacobs, of Feltou, Kent Co., Delaware, "and our family doctor said I had consumption. I thought I must die soon, for I telt so nwtuuy bad..

I believe that the Lord and your med icine have saved my life. 1 was sick over two years. I took thirteeu bottles of the 'Golden Med ical Discovory ' and four vials of Doctor Pierce's Pellets." There is no al cohol in "Golden Medical Discov ery " and it is en tirely free from opium, cocuine, and all other nar cotics.
