FOR THE PAUPERS.
Contract Made with Mrs Hug
gins to Keep Them An
other Year.
The following county business
was disposed of at last week's ses
sion of the county court:
Upon the petition of O. Witham
Frazier road was ordered opened by
Supervisor, W. G. Davis. He was
instructed to remove an tences ana
other obstructions.
W. R. Dixon was given a con
tiact for delivery of 10 cords of old
growth fir wood at $3 40 per cord,
to be delivered by October 1st.
The report of the expert who ex
amined the books of the retiring
county omcers was accepted and
the bondsmen of all officers were re
leased. A number of applications for the
janitorship at tbe court house were
considered and an order entered on
the record statiog. that it is deemed,
"advisable for the best interests of
Benton county" to make a change.
Final action on the matter was
however, continued for the term.
' 'Finding no cause to make a change
at this time," M. P. Fruit was con
tinued as county ferryman for the
present until the further order of
the court.
A contract was given to Mrs.
Huggins for taking care of the
cobntv ooor from Aueust r. 1006 tn
August 1907, unless sooner termin
ated by the court. The fee per
capita is understood to be $3 a week .
Au hority was ' eranted for T.
W. Cavender to be admitted to the
poor house.
H. L French was appointed to
the charge of the county exhibit at
the State Fair.
The following: order was olaced
on record with reference to road
district number 17: "It has been
reported that there was an irregul
arity in the levy of the special road
tax and that therefore the tax is
illegal, it is ordered that tbe county
clerk draw warrants in rebate of all
special taxes paid in district
number 17. but this matter having
been considered at a later hour of
said day, and the court deeming it
necessary to investigate this matter
further, it is ordered that the above
order be rescinded until the further
order of tbe court."
DIED 5UDDENLY
CF HEART DISSASR
, How frequently docs a h;-id liae simi
lar to the above greet us in the news
papers; The rush, push aud strenuous
ness of the American people has a strong
tendency to lead up to valvular and other
affections of the heart, attended by ir
regular action, palpitation, dizziness,
smothered sensations and other distress
ing symptoms.
Three of the prominent ingredients of
which Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery is made are recommended by some
of the leading writers on Materia Medica
for the cure of just such cases. Golden
Seal root.1 for instance, is said by the
United States Dispensatory, a stand
ard authority, "to impart tone and in
creased power to the heart's action."
Numerous other leading authorities rep
resent Golden Seal as an unsurpassed
tonic for the muscular system in general,
and as the heart is almost wholly com
posed of muscular tissue, .it naturally
follows that it must bo greatly strength
ened by this superb, general tonic. But
probably the most important ingredient
of "Golden Medical Discovery," so far
as its marvelous cures of valvular and
other affections of the heart are con
cerned, is Stone root, or Collinsonia Can.,
Prof. Wo. Paine, author of Paine's
Epitomy of Medicine, says of it:
"I. not lone since, had a patient who was
y much oppressed with valvular disease of
lae heart that his friends were obliged to
:arry him up-staira. He. however, gradually
recovered under the Influence of Collinaonin
(medicinal principle extracted from Stone
root), and is now attending to his business.
Heretofore physicians knew of no remedy
tor the removal of so distressing and so dan
cerous a malady. With them It was all
guess-work, and It fearfully warned the
afflicted that death was near at hand. Col
linsonin unquestionably affords relief in
such cases, aud in most instances effects a
cure."
Stone root Is also recommended by Drs.
Hale and Eilingwood, of Chicago, for
valvular and other diseases of the heart.
The latter says: "It is a heart tonic of
direct and permanent influence."
"Golden Medical Discovery," not only
cures serious heart affections, but is a
most efficient general tonic and invigor
ator, strengthening the stomach, invig
orating the liver, regulating the bowels
and curing catarrhal affections in all
parts of the system.

Portland, Aug. 4 Portland Jour
nal; A year on McNeil's Inland is
in store for Willard N. Jones, prince
of good fellows. Tbat was part of
the sentence passt d upon him this
morning by Judge Hunt of the fed
eral court; the je t was a fine of
$2,000. Thaddeus Stevens Potter,
accomplice of Jcn6, but looked up
on as a man who was led, fared
much better. His punishment is
eix months in tbe county jail eni
a fine of $500.
The crime for which Jcnrs and
PotUr were to evicted was conspir
acy to defraud the government out
of lands in th9 Siktz Indian reser
vation. This reservation, contain
ing much fine timber land, vies
thrown open solely lor homestead
entries. Jones, who was a timber
cruie r with an ambition to spend
money with both hands, originated
a scheme to make money out of il
legal homestead entries.

Not in the least pertcrbea, the

would be best."
After fa consultation with the
