Monday morning a man occu
piecTa chair in Spencer's barber
shop. His head was bowed in his
' hands. At brief intervals he utter
ed stifled groans that were surely
-laden with human misery, and now
and again the gentleman shuddered
from evident agony. Compassion
filled the hearts of everyone who
entered the barber shop, but the sit
uation was such that none essayed
- to make inquiry as to the troubled
man's identity nor to the cause of
his anguish. Everybody deemed
it best to leave him with his sorrow
or whatever-" might ail him. until
' the pangs of torment should in a
. itneasure run their course. And,
too, there was p. sacrednesi about
. the man' s attitude which forbade
- intrusion. Still, the situation be
came more and more intense until a
gentleman mysteriously motioned
..Spencer through the rear door and
Una low, hushed tone inquired the
rtrouble. - In a like manner Spencer
stated -that the sufferer was Dr.
' "Blank and further said, (the words
' seeming to cling to his trembling
' lips) "he's got a boil on his nose."
A JUST COMPLAINT.
Which Gives Rise to Some
Comment.
Residents of the north-west sub
urbs of the city complain that a
great deal of rubbish is carted frbm
town and dumped in the highways
of their neighborhood. S. H.
Moore is making dire threats against
the practice. Pethaps he may not
go to the extremes to which he
would be justifiable in going, but it
is safe to say that people who make
a dumping ground of the roads
passing his place, would better de
sist. It is unfortunate that everybody
can not have their yards cleaned
up, their trash hauled away, and in
fact have everything done for them
at fome other person's expense, but
such arrangement has not yet been
fully completed. Still, many peo
ple do the next best thing and car
ry their refuse into the street or
county road to bt come an eye sore
to the public. Corvallis has a legal
and common dumping ground and
town residents should have their
rubbish hauled to that place even if
they have to "pay canage. All citi
zens are obligated to society. This
involves a duty, and such duty
should be performed even at some
inconvenience and expense. Any
way, don't try to bury your neigh
bor nor the public, with your back
yard rubbish. When you dump a
lot of trash into a low place in the
street, don't for a moment think,
nor suppose anybody else will think
that you are" benefitting the high
way. Lots of things that we want
cost money, and we can as well af
ford to pay for decency as for any
thing else. So if we have to pay
for having our filth hauled away to
the proper place, let us do so cheer
fully. Premiums for Rose Fair.

Woman's Trials.
The bitter trail in a woman's "life Is to
he childless. Who can tell how hard the
struggle may have been ere she learnt to
resign herself to her lonely lot? The ab
sence of this link to bind marital life
together, the absence of this one pledge
to mutual affection is a common disap
pointment. Many unfortunate couples
become estranged thereby. Even if they
do not drift apart, one may read the whole
extent of their disappointment in the eyes
of such a childless couple when they rest
on the children of others. To them the
largest family does not seem too numerous.
In many cases of barrenness or childr
lessness the obstacle to child-bearing is
easily removed by the cure of weakness on
the part of the-woman. Dr. Pierce's Fa
vorite Prescription has been the means of
restoring health -and fruttfuhtess to many
a barren woman, to the great Joy I the
household. In other, but rare cases, the
obstruction to the bearing of children has
been found to be of a suTgical character,
but easily removable by painless operative
treatment at the Invalids' Hotel and Sur
gical Institute. Buffalo, N. Y., over which
Dr. Pierce of the "Favorite Prescription"
fame presides. In all cases where chil
dren are desired and are absent, an effort
should be made to-find out the real cause,
since it is generally so easily removed by
proper treatment.
In all the various weaknesses, displace
ments, prolapsus, inflammation and de
bilitating, catarrhal drains and in all
cases of nervousness and debility, Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription is the most
efficient remedy that can possibly be used.
It has to its credit hundreds of thousands
of cures more in fact than any other
remedy put up for sale through druggists,
especially for woman's use. The Ingredi
ents of which the " Favorite Prescription "
is composed have received the most
positive endorsement from the leading
medical writers on Materia Medica of all
the several schools of practice. All the
ingredients are printed in plain English
on the wrapper enclosing the bottle, so
that any woman making use of this
famous medicine may know exactly what
she is taking. Dr Pierce takes bis,, pa
tients into his full confidence, which he
can afford to do as the formula after
which the "Favorite Prescription" is
made will bear the most careful exam
ination. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are the
best and safest laxative for women.
IMPORTANT TO CORVALLIS.
Profit by This and Find Safeguard
Against Many Ills.
Nothing ia more important to Corrallis
th-m the good health of her people. How
they fill their place in this busy
10 n unless they are well?
No one trouble ia responsible for more
n.-Tvous ill?, sleeplessness, general debil
i y. weakness, ' bark-aches, rheumatic
pi'is, even ill-temper and peevishness,
ti u indigestion.
Fortunately a combination of reme-di-
s, called Mi-o-na stomach tablets, has
bt -u discovered that absolutely cares in
digestion and restores to health and
strength the whole digestive system. The
use of Mi-o-na is a safeguard against ma
ny ilk ; it acts directly upon the gastric
glands, restores perfect action to the di
gestive organs, aids the assimilation of
food, and so strengthens the whole di
gestive system that yon can eat anything
at any time without fear of indigestion.
Just one little tablet out of a 5O cent
bo of Mi-o-na bffore meals for a few
days, and you will soon regain perfect
health and strength, and be able to eat
anvthin? digestible withont fear ofstom-
! ach difficulties. ' '
So reliable is Mi-o-na in curing all
forms of stomach weakness and troubles
that Graham & Wells give a signed guar
antee thai the remedy will cost nothing
unless it cures. Mi-o-na sells for 50 cents
and is invaluable to any one who suffers
with indigestion, nervousness or week
stomach.

Always Keeps Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy in His House,. "
"We would not be without Chamberlain's
Cough Kemedy. It is kept on hand contin
ually in our home," says W. W. Kearney,
editor of the Independent, Lowry City, Mo.

When kept at hand ready for instant use, a
cold may be checked at the outset and cured
In much less time than after it has become
jettled in the system. This remedy is also
without a peer for croup in children, and
will prevent the attack when given as soon
as the child becomes hoarse, or even after
the croupy cough appears, which can only be
done when the remedy is kept at hand. For
