Hon. C. TV. Fulton Spoke.
ASHXANSD, Or., Nov. 5 The McKinley
and KeosveJt campaign In Jackson
County wound up in a blaze of slory to
night. Tbe city has been thronged -with
Tifltors from other parts of the county
and suburbs, -who came to take par-t In
the last grand rally of the campaign.
A. torchlight procession, with mounted
rough riders, was one of the prominent
features of the display, and was wit
nessed by far the largest crowd that has
ever assembled In Southern Oregon.
After the parade a great political meet
ing took place In the Chautauqua Taber
nacle, Senator Charles "W. Fulton, of
Clatsop County, wbo Is a popular favor
ite here, delivering one of his brilliant
addresses. The spacious building was un
able to accommodate hundreds who
eought admission, and these enjoyed
themselves on the streets in witnessing
the fireworks and parading the sidewalks
hurrahing for McKinley and prosperity.
It is doubtful if a more eloquent, pa
triotic or convincing political address was
ever before heard from a platform In
this city than that delivered by Senator
Pulton. Urged on by his largo and enthu
siastic audience, the brilliant orator from
Clatsop covered the issues of the 'cam
paign and poured shot and shell Into the
camp of the Bryanltes, winning applause
at every point by his logical and practi
cal reasoning, and provoking amusement
and good humor with his occasional sal
lies of wit, holding the closest interest pf
his audience to the last A mighty cheer
followed his prediction that election day
would see Oregon roll up a majority of
15 WO for McKinley and prosperity.
The Ashland, band furnished music dur
ing the evening, from the platform, and
added to the unusual enthusiasm of the
occasion. Mr. Fulton received ho great
est ovation yet accorded a political
speaker here during the present cam
paign, and the demonstration tonight
augurs well for a big majority In Ash
land tomorrow for 34cKlnley and Roose
velt. Democrat Failed to Do As Afrreed.
COTTAGE GROVE, Or., Nov. 5. Hon.
TL. G. Smith, of Grant's Pass, was ac
corded the largest audience here tonight
of any speaker during this campaign.
Many could not gain entrance. For an
hour and a half he spoke on the Issues of
this campaign. He upheld the present
Administration, the gold standard, and
made plain the importance of retaining
our various island possessions.
Mr. Smith was summoned here to meet
R. M. Veatch in joint debate last Satur
day night, but Mr. Veatch would not
debate with him. The Democratle com
mittee then agreed to have a man here
tonight, but no one appeared. "Why they
did not secure some one to discuss the
Issues with Mr. Smith Is not known, but
It can be surmised that they did not
have faith in their platform.

Reduced Wheat Acreage.
OREGON CITY, Or., Nov. 5. Farmers
have not sown as much Fall wheat a3
usual, for the reason that the continued
dry weather did not put the ground in
fit condition for plowing, md the recent
heavy rains have further interfered with
the work. Many of the farmers in the
vicinity of Molalla and Liberal are sow
ing clover on the grain stubble, with a
view to enriching the soil by a change of

Much of the land in this section has
been continuously planted in grain for

VOICE OF THE STATE PRESS.
It does not sound well for Derao-Popu-llsts
to accuse the Republican speakers
of being untruthful, in the light of Bry
an's prophecies of 18S6. Enterprise Chief
tain. The fellow of the Rosebu g Plalndealer,
who Imagines he must scratch every time
the name Blnger Hermann Is mentioned,
never opens his mouth but what he plants
his foot in it. He says that Hermann
was out on official business while making
stump speeches. So he played official
business in order to make the Govern
ment not only pay him his salary while
campaigning, but his other expenses per
sonal expenses. The commissioner is a
financier whom McKinley needs in the
Treasury Department. It is hardly nec
essary for Hermann to bo In Oregon two
months to visit six land offices. But the
people paid his expenses. Portland Dis
patch. Mr. Bryan discovers a new cause of
agitation and alarm in each Presidential
campaign. At his first appearance In Na
tional politics he claimed tho country was
In danger of ruin from the tariff, and
could be saved only by free-trade policy.
After experiencing a thumping defeat on
this issue, he discovered four jeare later
that the gold standard was the cause of
all our woes, and relief could be had
only from free silver. Beginning this
campaign, he dropped both free trade and
free silver and Insisted upon imperialism
as the paramount Issue. Now he dodges

Seme of our Democratic brethren would
have us believe that we no longer have
"the money f the Constitution." We
say we do have. The Constitution of this
country sas that Congress shall have
power to coin money and regulate the
value thereof." We would like to ask by
what authority the money of this coun
try Is being coined. Does the Constitu
tion of the United States say that we
shall have free and unlimited coinage of
silver, or an unlimited Issue of paper
money? It neither says we shall or shall
not. To Congress was delegated the pow
er to deal with the currency by the wisa
and far-eeing fathers. Why, our dear
brethren, we do have "the money of the
Constitution." Wallowa News.
Paul Kruger's desertion of his people,

and refuses to yield his gun in the face
of certain defeat, but for the leader who
has left them to their fate we have noth

Judge Bennett says Mark Hanna puts

funny, but we know something funnier

for prosperity, and he looks even longer

LOWER COURT REVERSED.
Supreme Court Decides Cases From
Lane County.
SALEM, Or., Nov. 5. The Supreme
Court today handed down a decision in
the action of Frederick Rosteln, respond
ent, V3. Jacob R. Park, appellant. The
case was appealed from Lane County, J.
C. Fullerton, Judge. The findings of the
lower court are reversed, Judge Moore
rendering the decision.
"This is a suit to set aside a deed of
real estate. It Is alleged In the complaint
that on March 6, 1S97, plaintiff was the
owner of certain land in Lane County,
Oregon; that on said day the defendant
demanded of her a deed to said premises,
and upon refusal to comply therewith, he
and his attorney Induced respondent and
husband to go to said attorney's office,
where they ialsely accused the woman
of swindling defendant and of violating
tne 'Criminal statutes. bne expressea a
desire to consult an attorney, but they
refused to permit her to do so, and de
manded that bhe Immediately execute a
deed, and again upon refusing to yield to
tho demand, defendant's attorney, Tvho
was then a Justice of tho Peace, fraudu
lently pretending to write a criminal In
formation, informed the woman that un
less she signed the deed she would be Im
mediately arrested as a swindler, which
threat caused her to sign said deed against
her will. That the tame was not read
to her, and that she did not know the
contents, thereof, until she saw the samt
on record In said county; that sfie never
acknowledged that she executed said deed
freely or voluntarily."
"The cause was referred, and from the
testimony taken and reported by the
reforee the court found, in effect, that
the language used by defendant's attorney
could have been, and probably was, con
strued by plaintiff as a threat that sh
would be prosecuted in a criminal action
if she persisted In her refusal to execute
said deed, which was decreed canceled,
and defendant appealed."
The opinion of the Supreme Court says
In part: "The evidence shows that on
February 5, 1897, defendant was the owner
of certain real property, described in the
complaint, but. having agreed with L.
Rosteln, plaintiff's husband, to exchange
said premises for land In Eldorado County,
California, which was represented to be
owned in fee, he and his wife executed a
warranty deed for said land in Lane
County, Or. The defendant, March 6,

California, which showed the tract to be
a part of the public domain. Rosteln,
December 16, 1S93, secured a deed pur

Interest In a placer claim located thereon,
but that by failure to improve the prem
ises, they were, on December 3, 1895, re
located as a placer claim by other parties,
who performed the necessary assessment
work to hold the claim for their use. De
fendant Informed Rosteln of the condition
of the title to said land, tendered him a
quit-claim deed thereof, and demanded a
deed of the promises which he convoyed
to the plaintiff".
"Rosteln, on being Informed that at the
time he executed the deed he had no title
to the land in California, replied that he
and his wife would adjust the matter.
Later they signed the deed, accepted de
fendant's quit-claim deed to Rosteln for
the California lands.
"After the deed was signed plaintiff was
asked by a. Notary Public If she acknowl
edged that she executed the same freely
and voluntarily, and replied 'yes.'
"The plaintiff and her husoand testified
that the deed was never read to them,
and -that they did not know the contents
thereof at the time they signed it. "Their
testimony In this respect was denied by
several witnesses.

ARE VERY FEW
The Onses That Pyramid Pile Care
Will Not Reach.
The cases that Pyramid Pile Cure do not
reach are so few that physicians are do
ing away with operations for piles, and
depend more and more upon fhis simple
but safe and effective remedy to accom
plish a complete cure, and It never disap
points In any form of piles, whether pro
truding, itching or bleeding.
Mr. Thomas E. Wood, of 81S- Seventeenth
street, Sacramento, Cal., writes: "It af
fords me much pleasure to state that aft
er using only one 50-cent box at Pyramid
Pile Cure, I was cured of the painful and
annoying disease, after having suffered
from plies Xor thirty years, arjd tried ev
erything and could only get temporary
relief. I was advised by two of the beat
physicians in California to have an oper
ation and I did and suffered almost death,
but the piles returned and my suffering at
time was so great I waa not able to walk
until X saw an advertisement of the Pyr
amid Pile cure. I got It at once" and was
relieved frpm tho first application. I am
eo grateful that I feel like recommending
It to any and every one afflicted with
piles."
The prompt relief and rapid cure which
follow the use of this rerriedy gave the
impression that possibly it might contain
opium, cocaine or some similar drug, but
a careful and frequent analysis of the
remedy has proven It to contain no inju
rious drugs whatever, but it cures by
astringent properties and healing oils.
The Pyramid Pile cure is sold by drug
gists everywhere at 50 cents for full-sized
package.
Each package contains a- little book on
cause and cure of piles, together with
testimonials from thousands of cured pa
tients from every part (bfc Unitea I
