A Gkh.man professor proves to his own
eatiefiiction, theologically, cosmologi-
cally, teleolc gically, morally, ethnolo
Kically and ontologically that the belief
in the immortality of man's soul is an
athauidt illusion.

The navy department is in sore straits
because there are no officers in sight or

It is said by a Washing'on correspond

consideration in the house of representa
tives at present. Between 25,000 and
50,000 bills have been introduced bo tar
his session, and duririg one duy re

3000 bills were sent to the desk.
Hughes LeRoux, the French tuthor,
Sectnrer and traveler, says there are stir
ring times ahead iu his country. He
declares that the capitalists have become
more aristocratic than kings. "Today
the laborer," he says, "the man who
works, is coming into his own. He will
rule in France, and that will be the sal

Rev. Dr. Gmsao, the $10,000 preacher
at the Lafayette Avenue Presbyterian
church in Brooklyn, N. Y., has shocked
the ungodly by requesting that his sal
ary be cut down to $8000, and the other
2000 given to the poor. For do not the
ungodly claim that preachers, as a rule,
are insincere and are "called" to the fat
salaries? Saint John D. Rockefeller, Jr.,

with very great advantage to the poor.
in this country. From the tax books
he estimates the total wealth of our popu

total number of families at 15,500,000.
One per cent of this number, 01 15,500,
he states.owns $52,000,000,000 of wealth,
their average assets being $335,000. The
class below this in wealth, numbering
1,937,700 families, has an aggregate of
$33,000,000,000 and an average of $17,

own $15,000,000,000 of wealth, of which
6,773,400 possess but $2,500,000,000, 01
an average per family of $370. Practi

an inevitable result of the great accumu

ELECTION NOTES.
I
Klamath county elected the entire
democratic county ticket with one ex
ception, coroner.
Democrats elect one man in Marion
county sheriff by 65.
Democtats elect one representative,
Kramer, in Douglas county.
If Mr. Furnish had carried his own
county he would have been elected. The
democrats elected sheriff and clerk in
the county, Umatilla.
In Linn county the democrats elected
M. A, Miller state senator by 2 votes.
They also electe 1 sheriff, clerk and re
corder.
Governor Geer is trying in a spectacu
lar manner to close his term of office and
is endeavoring to get public sentiment
in favor of an extra session to place all
state officers on fi.it salaries. The peo
ple are alreidy inf ivorof this proposi
tion but the politicians seem to object.
Governor-elect Chambarlain states his
position as follows :
"I am in favor of Rut salaries for state
officers, and have advocated them dur
irg the campaign. I am also in favor of
the special session tor the purpose ot en
acting the salary law before the new of
ficers begin their administrations. A
special session would be necessary in
order to make the law effective, for the
salaries cannot be chunked after a man
has begun his term of office. Yes, I am
in favor of putting the state printer on a
flat salary also and let him get the pub
lic printing done as I get mine done at
the usual union prices."
Politicians seem to want the state
printing office leit untouched, probably
on account of the lare campaign fund
expected therefrom.
In " Malheur Jconnty the democrats
elected a joint representative, sheriff,
clerk and commissioner.
In Tillamook the dotmcrats elect
judge and treasurer.
In Gilliam county the democrats elect

"Enciland has practically exhausted
'the wealth of India. From three cents
a day in 1882, the wages of the peasant
ihave decreased to a cent and a hall in
1000, or $11 per annum The 18 famines
lies from 1876 to 1900 produced 20,000,
O00 deathe, whereas, the five famines
from 1800 to 1825 resulted in not over
1,000,000 deaths. What potential wealth
remains in India is largely owned in
England, or heavily taxed to pay the
liigh salaries if British officials. Eug
flish greed and English commercialism
thuve prostrated the millions of In.lia
like a most malignant pes' Hence.
.Suty-bix thousand eight hundred
women, textile workers of Lancashire,
Yorkshire and Cheshire, England, have
presented a petition to parliament pray
ing for immediate possession of ihefran--chite,
and declaring that the right to
wote "is of vital Importance to women
engnged in the industrial struggle of ex
istence." The trades unionists are sup
porting the appeal. They say that the
demand for women suffrage will be tire
leesly pressed until parliament yields.
The women assure the Westminster
legislators that when permitted to vote
they will exercises triumphant force in
the direction of focial reform and ad
ministrative efficiency.
Tun South African war begun by Ce
cil Rhodes, Joe Chamberlain and Lord
Milner.has been ended by King Edward,
because he Is at the point of being
crowned. England's victory is equal to
an inglorious and ignominious defeat.
'To overcome 70,000 men and boys from
tLe farm and the veldt, she sent out
300,000 men, of whom 24,000 are dead
and 75 000 were wounded and invalided,
nd the cost was $1,250,000,000. To
make the bitter pill even more bitter to
John Bull, he has been obliged to give
the Boers much better terms than they
were willing to accept about a year ago,
and he has engendond a hatred against
aill things British in E'irope and South
Africa which is ominous of evil to the
empire "on which the sun never sets."

Miss Alice Cohn, writes from 474
Eleventh Street, Brooklyn, N. Y., as
follows :
"Having had poor health for a great
many months and now having it re
stored makes me feel very grateful to
Peruna. I suffered a great deal during
my monthly periods, had severe pains,
and was generally depressed, but can
truthfully say that a few bottles of Pe
runa has removed all pain and made a
new. woman of me. MISS ALICE
COHN.
The coming of what is known as the
"new woman" In our country Is not
greeted by everyone as If she were a
great blessing. But there Is another
new woman whom everybody la glad to
see. Every day some invalid woman is
exclaiming, " I have been made a new
woman by Dr. Hartman's home treat
ment." It Is only necessary to send
name, address, symptoms, duration of'
sickness and treatment already received
to Dr. Hartman, Columbus, O., and direc
tions for one month's treatment will be
promptly forwarded. The medicines
can be obtained at the nearest drug
store.
If you do not derive prompt and satis
factory results from the use of Peruna,
write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a
full statement of your case and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable ad
vice gratis.
Address Dr. Hartman, President of
The Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus,
Ohio.
Thk wage earners of the United States
number about fifteen million men, wo
men and boys and girls of ten year; of
age and over. Their average earnings
are$400 a year, and on the average each
wage-earner supports two dependents.
That is to say, three persons must live
on $33.33 a month. About a quarter of
the workingman's wages goes for rent
and about half for food and fuel. That
leaves him about $8.30 a month for
clothing, medicine, recreation and a
savings bank account. Prof. Robert E,
Ely, secretary of the League for Politi'
cal Education, in considering these fig
ures taken from the federal census, just
ly says that "the terms of our economic
problem cannot be solved by thrift
alone" that the poor in the mass can
not lift themselves out of poverty by
saving, Bince on the average they dou't
earn enough to enable them to save
anything.

Gala Ddj of Warner Grane.
Warner Grange will spare no efforts to
make the celebration of Children's Day
and Floial Day on Saturday, June 28th,
a fiesta. A special subject for discus
sion will be the "varieties of flowers
that give greatest returns for labor ex
pended, and varieties ibat give longest
blossoming period." The occasion will
be a basket picnic. As the flocks of
children who will atten l will bring "va
rieties" of appetite with them that will
"give greatest returns for labor expend
ed," it seems hardly necessary to im
press on the old folks the imperative,
categorical necessity of bringing hamp
ers filled to bursting with "vittals."
The celebration will be held in the
spiritualist camp meeting grounds. It
will not rain on June 28th. The com
mittee of arrangements is, Mesdainee
Wink, Olds and Fredericks.
