Governor Cummins, of Iowa,
has revised the, time for advocating
tariff revision.
-Jhough our treasury is as full
as the Turks' is empty, we shall
Insist that the Sultan pay all his
debts.
To insure his statement that
there is no money stringency Sac -terary,
Shaw puts $20,033,000 into
circulation.
The appointment of a fourth class
postmistress is announced in one
Hme; her dismissal requires many
columns.
The Turk believes that he goes
to Heaven if he dies fighting for his
religion; or murdering Christians
which is about the same thing.
It looks as if the Hon. Reed Smoot
will have more difficulty in remain
ing in the Senate than he had in
getting there.
Senator Hanna will have no quar
rel with Chairman Dick over the
latter's refusal to allow him to de
bate with Mr. Clarke.
Kaiser William cannot understand
why President Roosevelt does not
go to Kentucky army maneuvers to
lead the cavalry charges in person.
Sir Thomas Lipton says he will
keep after the cup until he gets it.
This is positive proof that he in
tends to spend his days in Amerira.
There will be some' strenuous
tennis games attheNational capital,
as laborers are now hard at work
completing the President's tennis
court.
Tammany has stolen the Fusion
candidates r New York City.
They forgot to take Mayor Low,
but Mr. McClellan is willngtotake
his place,
If Mr. George Brington McClel
lan is elected mayor of New York,
he may feel that his ambition is
hampered somewhat by the fact
that he was born in Saxony.
The President's message to Con
gress will be a short one. it is hop
ed that he will find some space for
a report on the Post Office and In
dian scandals.
There must be something in that
South Dakota divorce industry after
all when it came separate Uncle
Russell Sage from a million of his
scanty savings.
The first Anti Hiawatha Club has
been founded in Virginia. The
old Dominion can always be count
ed on to lead in the service' of her
country when the need arises.
It is strange that any Breathitt
county, Ky., man living in Clay
hole should want to leave it. The
natural impulse would be to crawl
into it and pull it in after him.
Fifteen hundred republican ora
tors have been invited to take part
in the Ohio' campaign. Senator
Hanna seems to feel that reinforce
ments are necessary to defeat Tom
Johnson.
A Western engineer has lost his
sweetheart because his sense of ro
mance led him to place her photo
graph on the headlight of his en
gine.' Publicity is a much more ef
fective cure for romance than it is
for the trusts.
Secretaries Shaw, Wilson and
Moody, Speaker. to-be Cannon,
and half a dozen prominent republi
can senators are among those who
will help Senator Hanna in the Ohio
campaign. It looks as if the re
publicans of the state had to turned
in a general alarm.
One of the Canadian counsel in
the Alaskan boundary case says the
allegiance of any Indian can be
bought with a blanket and a bottle
of whiskey. Just at present, how
ever, Secretary Hitchcock hasn't
any blankets to spare for the Indians

ply to cover up the frands commit
ted by his Indian Agents.

There will be no more intoxicat
ing liquor sold at the National capi
tal. The bill prohibiting it slipped
through the Senate last winter and
the President was not considerate
enough to veto it.
"There is not the least truth in
any rumor recarding my possible
marriage," says Sir Thomas Lip
ton. The Baronet is taking no
chances on getting a wife who might
insist on keeping him at home.
Canada is far more nervous over
the outcome of the Alaskan Bound
ary Commission than is the United
States. She is already making
threats as to what she will do in
case the decision is against her.
Has she a presentiment that she
ill lose or does she believe that
threats will have more weight
than arguments?
Cures j'
DYSPEPSIA, INDIGESTION, ;
AND STOMACH TROUBLES, j
The tortures and evils of dyspepsia and
indigestion are experienced by thousands at
this time. The dyspeptic's train of evils
may be enumerated as follows: feelings of
dizziness, languor, nervousness, sleeplessness,
headache, distension of the f tomach, loss ol
flesh, difficult breathing, and the action of the
heart is seriously affected. !
All forms of dyspepsia are quickly banished
by the use of Paine's Celery Compound, j
The use of this marvelous medicine allays the
inflammation of the nerves centred about the
stomach i it opens up the sewers of the body
and removes all waste matter; it cleanses the
blood i it makes new nerve fibre; it restores
digestive power, and promotes bodily strength
and activity. Mr. Fred. Koss, Clarendon,
Iowa, briefly writes about his happy experi
ence with Taine'a Celery Compound as
follows:
" It gives me great pleasure to testify to the
merits of Paine's Celery Compound. I can
candidly and honestly say it is the best medi
cine in the world. Two years ago I was suf
fering from indigestion and nervousness, and
was so run down that I could hardly walk
without help. I used two bottles of Paine'i
Celery Compound and got better almost from
the first dose, and have had no use for medi
cine since. I was completely cured."

HOW IT WILL BE DONE
The Courier has secured a magnificent pumpkin, raised on
incidrm oi ivir. j. 11. i.indsey. it is a perfect specimen and
weicrhs more than IQO nounds. It ton willin a four rlava ht r,n
exhibition in the Courier office. It was raised from the seed of
tne Dig pumpkin we exhibited last fall. Every subscriber to the
Courier who Davs his or her snhrrmtinn rr rhi Cnnrit-r fnr nno
year will be permitted to make t ne estimate upon the number of
sccu in ims monster pumpmn. ineone making the nearest correct
csLiuidie iaKes me piano, in tne event tnat two or more sub
scribers make the same estimate the niann will rrn tn tbem i-iinfli
and they can sell or dispose of if as they please. Time is not of
cascinc ui liic coniesr. .
We will cut the pumpkin January 1 J904
On New Years afternoon, and no guess or estimate will be received
after twelve o'clock noon of that date. At that time the pumpkin
will be turned over to a committee composed of the following
wen tcnown agriculturists wno will cut the pumpkin, count the seed,
examin the estimates and award the piano to the person or per
sons who have made the correct or nearest correct estimate of the
number of seed therein contained.
The names of the committee are
Hon. William Ganong, of Canemah.
Hon. Thomas Turner, of Stafford,
Hon. William H. Vaughan, of Molalla.
The Seed of a Pumpkin'
Only such seed in the pumpkin will be counted as
are iully developed. J3y a seed we accept the defini
tion of Webster. It is something which has life and
viil grow if planted. A shell which has no heart and
an imperfect seed which will not grow is not a seed un
der this contest. The committee will determine this
matter for themselves, and their judgment will be final
and conclusive.
