SO DECEPTIVE
Many Oregon City People Fail to Realize
the Seriousness. '
Backache is so deceptive,
It come and goes-keeps you guessing.
Learn the cause-then cure it.
Nine times out of ten it comes from
the kidneys.
That's why Doan's Kidneys Pills cure
it.
Cure every kidney ill from backache
to diabetes.
Here's a case to prove ii :
Mrs. D. Murphy, widow, who lives at
395 Ivon St Portland, says: "Years
ago, w hen living in Kansas I was great
ly troubled with kidney complaint. At
that time, I was, I might say, perfect
ly helpless for months, bnt in time it
wore awav as mysteriously as it came.
It did not bother me again until last fall
when there was every sympton of its re
turn, and knowing what I had suffered
formerly I began to look around for
something t check it, and ou looking
over the the paper I noticed Doan's
Kidney Pills highly recommended so I
procured them and took them as direct
ed. It only required a few day's treat
ment to ward off the attack. Since then
I have recommended Doan's Kidney
Pills to a number of my friends."
Plenty more proof like this from Ore
gon City people. Call at 0. G. Hunt
ley's drug store and ask what his cus
tomers report.

Remember the name Doan's and take
so other.
Doesn't Respect Old Age.
It's shameful when youth fails to show
proper respect for old age, but just the
contrary in the case of Dr. King's New
Life Pills. They cut off maladies no
matter how severe and irrespective of
old age, Dyspepsia, Jaundice, Fever,
Consiipation all yield to this perfect pill.

How & Fortune
Wss S&.ved
-if
Original.
When I had left college and was look
ing about for some means of livelihood
my eye fell on an advertisement of u
man who wanted a secretary. I called
at the address, a handsojne house in
closed in spacious grounds, and found
a man who had been born a gentie
man, but without muci education. 5
was engaged and met in his house i.
publisher to whom I proposed a ven
ture which was successful iid led u
to a fortune. When I resigned my sec
retaryship I was speaking to my em
ployer of the chance, as I called U
which had led me to him and conse
Queutly to prosperity.
"Chance!" he exclaimed. "That wut
no. chance. The world is full of sucli
chances as that Rather call It tlie
result of a perfectly rational act my
advertisement If you want to hear
the' story of a fortune secured b
chance I will tell you one for myself.
"When I was a boy I was inclineo
to be wayward. Instead of being sat
isfied to remain at school I ran away
and went to sea. I had enough of salt
water in one voyage and would havr
returned to my father had I not been
too proud. I entered the service of a
manufacturer of paper who did a very
extensive business. There I remained
ten years, but having an inherited dis
like for business my ancestors got
rich by holding land I never was pro
moted beyond the position of sales
man. ' Finally I was discharged.
"I made up my mind to go home and
see what had become of my father
My mother had died at my birth, and
I was the only child. Therefore at my
father's death the property would all
come to me unless, disgusted with my
action " In running away, he should
leave It elsewhere. On reaching home
I found that he had died about two
years before and left the property to
his housekeeper, Mrs. Higglns. I knew
the woman, for she had been in the
family from the time of my birth, and
it was her ill treatment of me that had
largely influenced me to run awa
from home.
"I visited the family lawyer, Mr.
Jones, and eudeavored to learn if my
father had spoken to him of me and
his Intentions regarding me. He told
me that shortly before his death my
father had mentioned the matter of u
will and 'said to him that he would
make no will on account of my ab
sence, relying on the law to settle the
matter in accordance with subsequent
events, including my possible return.
My father died in June, 1895, and no
will was produced till, eighteen mouths
later. Meanwhile I had been hunted
for and not found. In December, 1890.
Mrs. Higglns produced the will, which,
she declared, she had found among
other papers In my father's cabiuet.
It was of the simplest form, stating
that he left all his property, real and
personal, to Mrs; Martha Higglns, wid
ow, in consideration of her kind care
and treatment of him for many years.
I asked the lawyer if there was no
way of breaking the will, and he said
there was none unless I could prove
that Mrs. Higglns had used undue in
fluence over the testator or that he was
of unsound mind. I knew that my
own obstinacy was inherited from my
father, and not even Mrs. Higglns was
likely to have Influenced him. As to
his being of unsound mind, all his af
fairs had been attended to in a man
ner indicating the healthiest mental
condition till a few days before his
death. The will was dated four month."
before he was taken with his last ill
uess.
"It didn't take me long to discover
thut there was no possibility of my
recovering my property through or
diimry. legal process. I was forced tc
give the matter up and go huntlug'for
a position whereby to live. I found
a small Job Rulliclent to keep me alive,
but my mind remained upon my for
tune nnd Mrs. Higglns. Finally a do
sire came to me to see with my own
eyes the will by which my father had
disinherited me. Being Ignorant of
such matters, I went to Mr. Jones,
who took me to the courthouse, where
the document wus filed, and it was
produced by an officer of the court It
was written on half a sheet of note
paper and witnessed by two persons of
whom I had no knowledge, I was per
nutted to take it in my hands and.
yielding to a habit acquired in the pa
per business, rubbed it with my thumb
and forefinger, then held it up to the
tight
" 'Mr. Jones, I said, that paper was
manufactured by the Bagstock Paper
company, with which I was connected,
and sold by me when it first cam
from the mills last September. I re
member the fact because it was about
the sale of some of this paper that 1
got Into trouble and lost my position.'
" 'How could that have been? he re
plied. This is February, 1897. Last
September was in 1S90. The will 1
dated May, 1895.'
" 'It doesn't make any difference to
me when the will was dated. That pa
per was not manufactured and sold till
last September.'
"Then the will is a forgery, and
you are heir at law to the property.'
..This is , virtually. the .end of mi
Btory, for I had little trouble In get
ting a confession from Mrs. Higglns
and the witnesses who were in -lepgur
with her on condition that I would noi
prosecute any of them, and the proper
ty became mine.
"No, there is chance, and there h
what may appear to be chance. Therr
is no chance in advertising. It Is r
legitimate business act My ndvertis
ingfor a secretary led to certain V"
suits. But everything leads to eomo
thing. The only question is as to tl'
Importance of the results."

GLORY OF THE REPUBLIC.
An Extract From an Addreaa by Na
tional Mnster Aaron Jones.
The glory of this republic does not
lie alone in her vast system of rail
ways or in the great manufactories
placed throughout the length and
breadth of the land. More than a hun
dred years ago yea, through all peri
ods of the life of our country the
great industry of our country was the
agricultural. It was the first, it was
the second, it was the third, and today
it holds its place among the industrial
interests of the nation as being worth
more money than any three of the
other industries of our country. 1
stand here today as the representative
of that basic Industry which underlies
the prosperity of every other industry
of the nation, which lies at the foun
dation of the prosperity of the nation
itself.
This great order, the Patrons of Hus
bandry, stands organized for the im
provement, the more prosperous condi
tion, of the agricultural interests of
this nation. There is not a man en
gaged in any occupation but is vital
ly interested in the prosperity, the
growth, the success, of the order of the
Patrons of Husbandry for the reason
that If the farmer is successful, If our
farms become more productive, there
is more business for the railways, and
every business and every counting
house in all this country receives a
benefit from this prosperity.
When the historian of the future
shall write the true chronicle of these
times and shall give truly nnd faith
fully the causes of the great progress;
which our country has made I believe
that he will write: - I
First The church of Christ. Hereis
the greatest factor in the civilization
of the World, and no comparison of U
with any civil institution should bfl
made. . I
Second. Our public schools, where.
our children are educated to broader
views of life and trained for good citi
zenship. For these schools no expendi
ture of money' properly made is to be
considered extravagant
Third. The great fraternities estab
lished through the country Masonry,
Odd Fellows, Knights of Pythias and
hundreds of others. These are binding
men together, lifting them to a higher
plane of living and creating a better
citizenship. I bid them all hail and
godspeed. Of course even among these
great fraternities some are better than
others. Of these orders I believe that
the Patrons of Husbandry ranks with
the highest National Master Jones.
ALL AROUND GRANGE FAIR.
An Idea That May Be Sna-grestlve to
Other Patrons.
Last month the Templeton (Mass.l
grange held a successful cattle show
and fair. The hall exhibition was a
very creditable one and consisted of
vegetables, fancy and useful articles
and farm products. There was a fair
exhibit of cattle, sheep, dogs nnd
swine, also poultry. The music for the
day was furnished by a brass band of
twenty pieces. There was a coaching
parade in the forenoon, with a num
ber of decorated wagons in the proces
slon. There were plowing matches
horse driving contests, foot rnces am'
baseball games. In the evening tlier
were a concert and dance in the town
ball.
The idea Is a good one. Granger
cannot only add to the interest of conn
ty fairs by their exhibits nnd pal
ronage, but they can get up a fuir o:
their own, as Templeton grange 'ha
done, with much credit to themselve
and the Order.
Field Meetings In Pennsylvania.
The series of field meetings held it
twenty-six counties of Pennsylvania
during the month of Auguet was large
ly attended and elicited active interest
and cordial approval by Patrons gener
ally. Social committees are entitled to
honorable mention for the efficient
work they invariably did in making
these meetings a great success. Brothei
A. E. Morse of South Parts, Me, whr
attended each meeting, won many
friends not only by his superior art m
an lmpersonatr"", elocutionist and en
tertainer, but by his devotion to the Or
der and high type of manhood. Grange
teachings were promulgated from the
platform by state grange speakers nnd
listened .to attentively. Evidently ac
tlve interest in the work of the grange
has been stimulated and much done to
popularize the Order over the state to
the many summer meetings held dur
ing 1903. A. M. Cornell.
.State Master Norris of the Nevy. York
state grange expects to have a class oi
2,500 Patrons to take the seventh de
gree at the national grange meeting a
Rochester ifi November. Maine bnt".

Hiould not fall short of its worthy mas
ter's expectations.
The Mercer county (N. J.) Pomona
grange held a monster clambake and
picnic in August, at which fully 2,000
patrons were present. The grange had
headquarters on the Trenton fair
grounds Sept. 28 to Oct. 2.
Michigan has organized 122 new
granges since Dec. 1, 1902. The prize
desk plan brought in 1,700 new mem
bers. ' -
. West Virginia has over eighty-five
subordinate granges and three Pomo
nas. Very good for a southern state.
BROADENING THE FIELD.
gome Snprseations by the Hon. George
T. Powell on New tines of Work.
LSpeclal Correspondence.
The inception and organization of
Hie srange came through a recognition
of the needs of the agricultural class of
our country at a time when its interest!'
were very seriously depressed. At the
close of the civil war farms were gen
erally heavily mortgaged, and farmers
were staggering under the burden of
debt
The work of the grange was to bring
farmers together in an organized ca
pacity to consid
er the vital prol
lems involved in
their business
and to devise
means by which
their burdens
might be lifted
and agricultural
life made as It
should be, pros
perous, attrae
tive and Joyous
The grange h
accomplishes
vast results in
HON. GEORGE T. POW
ELL. this directlou
The good it has done cannot be meas
ured, but new problems are constantly
arising, and it is the present and future
that have to be considered now and noi
the past
While there is a better degree oi
prosperity t present in agricultui:.
than for many years past, it is not, as
general as it ought to be. In sections
where specialties in farming are fol
lowed, which call for a higher degree
of knowledge and intelligence, there
has been a marked advance In prosper
ity, but there is a large number , of
farmers at present in different sections
of our country who are struggling with
adverse conditions and are little better
off than were those at the close of the
civil war. The evidence of this is found
In the vast tracts of farming land thai
are offered for sale at prices ranglna
from $10 to $20 per acre in all of oui
eastern states. Upon land so' offered
for sale there is a ruinous decadeice
going on, farm buildings are running
down, fences are past repair, farm ten
ant houses are empty nnd decaying
roads are not worked, and the rura
schoolhonses are in many instance.
without teachers or children.
The grange needs to transfer Its
work more actively to these sections
to gather together the scattered and
discouraged farmers and what Is lef
of their families. A campaign of ren!
education must be begun; the entire
forces of the community must be en
listed, the industrial, the educational
and religious, for with these dead oi
inactive no progress is possible in a
community, but with tliem aroused
and active growth will be experienced
even with the most adverse surround
ings.
The first Important work, then, is to
carry grange work into the scattered
territory, for first of all some form of
organization Is necessary for systemat
ic work. Then some clearly defined
work for the upbuilding of the town
should be begun, and tho first in Im
portance is its educational interests.
The public school can do much, but it
must be a live one, and it should con
tribute more than has been done to the
real life and interests of the town.
Schools should be a more potent factor
in a community and do more for It
than teaching in a perfunctory man
ner the English branches. The grange
can with great profit study the needs
of the community and then aid in put
ting the school upon such a working
basis as to contribute largely to them
This will naturally lead to the Im
provement of roads, for the isolated
rural school is gone forever, and good
roads are a necessity, not only for the
farmer, but for the dally transporta
tion of his children to and from a
strong central school. Road construc
tion becomes a vital problem for the
grange to study and work out. Then
follow the many questions of the Im
provement of the farm, the soil, stock
of markets, taxation nnd of great im
portance official representation In loca"
as In state and national legislation
The grange should bo more definite li
lts object and more direct in its work
and every new grange organized upo
this basis will in time revolutlonizi
any community 'in which its work is
vigorously. and Intelligently conducted
Farmers are overwhelmed by many
present day problems which are rapid
Iy pressing upon them faster than tlio
are educated to meet them. The grans;
can do greater service by clearly de
fining the lines of educational work t
be taken up and directing well organ
ized effort toward these ends in al!
newly organized territoryT
The prosperity that is experienced in
communities where the grange has
done its most progressive work is the
evidence of Its value nnd of Its possi
bilities In new territory.

Highland grange, In California, has
established a summer school of eeo

Co-operative Insurance In Ohio.
There are now said to be 112 mutua
Insurance associations in Ohio, with a
total volume of risks of over $188,000
000. The Patrons'. Mutual, located Ii
Logan county, O., has been in opera tloi
for more titan twenty-four years am
has carried its members for oue-uiutl
of 1 per cent. There has been no effor
made to solicit members, but when iu
honest and honorable man applies fc
membership his application is pass.'i
upon by the board of officers and is tie
cepted or rejected by a vote of tin
members. In this way hazardous risk-
are frequently avoided nnd the associa '
tion has run as long as six years with
out any losses. And in the twenty-fou-years
there has only been one year it
which the losses were so heavy as t
make the cost as much as it would bav
been in a stock company, says one o
Its members.

The grange keeps a national legislate

The excellent showing universalis

Sensational Balloon Feat.
A most sensational balloou asceni

other day by a lion tamer named
Henri and two aeronauts. A small
cago containing two lions was placee
in a specially constructed car, and
when Henri entered the cage the aero
mints installed themselves on a plat
form above it, nnd the word to let g
was given niiiid tremendous excite
ment. The lions soon became dls
