"WHAT CROP INDICATIONS SHOW IX
THE TALOUSE COUNTRY.
Conditions "Were Jfcver Better for
Spring and Fall "WAeal-Frnlt
Crop "Will Be Large.
COLFAX, Wash., May 24. The crop
prospect throughout the Palouse country
is better than it has ever been at th's
season of the year. The acreage Is al
most equal to that of last year, but there
la more Spring wheat and less Fall wheat
than last year, owing to the Fall wheat
having been largely Winter-killed. The
acreage of wheat In "Whitman County Is
estimated at 400,000, which Is about one
third of the area of the county and about
two-thirds of the area In cultivation. The
Assessor's report shows a little more than
600,000 acres In cultivation In the county.
A large amount of new cod Is being broken
this year, and the acreage next year will
be much larger than this or any previous
season.
A steady, soaking rain fell almost con
tinually throughout the Palouse country
for Ave days and nights last week, and
there is enough moisture In the ground
to Insure a large crop of all kinds of grain
in nearly all parts of the county. Fall
wheat. In the western part of the county,
is about 13 Inches high, and In some places
the heads are forming. This grain Is out
of any danger from dry weather. Spring
wheat In all parts of the county is, up
several inches and growing rapidly, and
a large yield is almost -assured through
out the county. Barley and oats, of w hlch
there is- a larger acreage than usual, also
look well and promise a record-breaking
yield. The fruit crop never promised as
well at tlus time of the year as now, and
If no unforeseen calamity occurs the Pa
louse country may reasonably expect one
of the greatest crops of .grain and fruit
it has- ever produced. There are more
fruit trees bearing this year than ever
before, and more fruit trees were planted
this year than In any two previous sea
sons In the history of the county.
Last year Whitman County produced 11,
006,000 bushels of grain, which was the
largest crop ever grown In the county,
but this year promises to equal that yield
of grain and surpass the yield of fruit in
any previous season.

the switch almost completely, the engine
standing near the north end. The north
end of the switch was open, and the local
train, running Into the. yard, entered the
switch and crashed Into the freight engine.

flat cars in the center of the freight
train wore shattered and the switch
blockaded. An engine from Woodburn

EDDY AT 31'MIXNVIIXE.
The Tillamook Representative Dis
cusses the Issues of the Day.
M'MINNVTLLE, Or., May 24. Hon. B.
Ix Eddy, of Tillamook City, addressed the
people of McMlnnrllie In the courthouse
last night on the political issues of the
day. The speaker touched first the ques
tions of local importance, the present
method of paying taxes, the appointment
of roadmaster, etc., and pledged himself
to work for a betterment of the method
of collecting taxes and making the ap
pointment of roadmaster optional with
the County Court, and not obligatory, as
at present, His words were in strict ac
cord with the sentiments of the people of
Yamhill County.
Mr. Eddy assailed the Democratic accu
sations that the Republican party was a
trust-breeding machine, showing conclu
sively that If the 'powers of the trusts
"were to be curtailed, the Republican party
must do It. He cited the fact that Presi
dent Roosevelt had taken a firm stand
against illegitimate combinations of capi
tal, and for so doing had been .proscribed
by the trust magnates. The trust ques
tion is a scientific problem, said Mr, Eddy,
Tho vornan 'trho recently attempted to threw herself from &
second story window, amazed the entire circle of her acquaintance.
She was a good woman, prominent in chnrch work, idolized by her
husband and beloved by her children. Her home lacked nothing
which thoughtfnlness could provide. In everything she was a
woman to be envied, and yet ahe attempted to destroy herself.
Gossips of course began to whisper about skeletons in closots, and
hint that if the inside facts were known remorse for some long con
cealed sin had driven her. to distraction. Others wisely wagged
their heads and said the husband must have goaded her to madness.
They always thought there was something crafjy about that man,
and so on. Bat the doctor brushed away all these cobwebs of
fiction and comforted the alarmed household with tho words, "Not
responsible." She did not know what she was doing. For the time
being her mind was unhinged, and he explained
that such a "condition was not at all uncommon
at the period known as the change of life. Then
the most trusting women may develop unaccount
able jealousies. The mother who has been tho
center of the love of a family may believe that
every one is her enemy and be suspicious even of
poison in the food prepared by her "own daugh
ters. Of course these are the extreme Te6ults of
this condition. The most of women are simply
miserable in mind and body, and feel that this
eriod of change of life is turning the houey of
ife into bitterest galL They are cross, irritable
and nervous, and hate themselves for the
unamiable disposition whioh they cannot
seem to control.
It is quite true in the main that a woman
at the period of the "change" is not re
sponsible for fretfnlness, irritability, jeal
ousy, or even attempted self-destruction.
She is not responsible if she does not know that all this mental and physical suffering can be
prevented or cured by the timely nse of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription.
"About one year ago I commenced the nse or Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and 'Golden Medical
Discovery,"' writes Mrs. Ainanda Morriston. of Mineralwells, West Va. "Previous to that rime I had
been treated by two physicians, and while relieved to some extent, it was but temporary. I was passing
through this last 'critical period,' and suffered with severe falling of uterus. I cannot begin to state,
nd think no tongue can describe, my sufferings, both physical and mental. Nerves were all unstrung,
nd at times it seemed I was perfectly insane. As a stimulant to my nerves I was given a great deal of
medicine, but experienced no permanent benefit until I began the nse ot your medicines, These-hclped
from the start, and I have continued the -use of both 'Favorite Prescription' and 'Golden Medical Dis
covery ' for about six months, but am now only taking Favorite Prescription.' I can now do,a good deal
of housework, bat previously could do nothing, and at times knew nothing. Indeed, most of the time I
feel welL I have your 'Pellets' and Extract of Smart-Weed,nd find them all that you claim. I
think your remedies are all good, and your Favorite Prescription ' and Golden Medical Discovery ' the
litst medicines in the world.
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is a woman's medicine, and cures the womanly diseases
which destroy womanly health and .strength. From the first change of life, when the girl
becomes a woman, until tho final period of change, it is the constant friend of weak and sick
vomen. It-establishes regularity, dries unhealthy drains, heals inflammation and. ulceration
Sd cures female weakness; It is uuecfualed as a tonic and nervine for weak rmndrtrjL
vomen. 'It tfariquilues the nerves, encourages tho appetite and induces refreshing sleep. It
cures headache, backache and other aches which are the result of womanlyHisease.
"lam passing through the change of life," writes Mrs. Rose Barrows, of Gienwood, Weat Vs., and
turo years ago this winter was taken sick with a complication of diseases that usually come on at such a
time. Doctored for three months, but dM not get much relief. Was advised to try your Favorite Pre
scription,' and I commenced taking it, and used about three bottles before we could see whether it was
doing me any good. I kept on until j had taken five bottles and then the change was remarkable. I
was ableto go to work again, and gained in flesh until I weighed more than ever before. I will recom
mend Dr. Pierce's medicines wherever I go. Have also taken your Pellets the moat of the two year
and found them good.
Any woman who baa tested and proved the power of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription to
euro womanly diseases and tojigitert the burdens of maternity, will have the fullest confi
dence that in this last great crisis of her life, she may rely on "Favorite Prescription." once
more to preserve her in perfect be&lth. Those who do not know by personal experience the
remarkable nower of this great medicine to cure womanly ills, may gain confidence by know
ing that behind the two letters printed above, there are thousands of others, all testifying to
the superiority -and reliability or "Favorite Prescription, " as a cure for womanly ills.
In Mrs. Mprriston's Jetter given .above, sue says: "As a stimulant to my nerves I was
given a great deal pf medicine, but experienced no benefit until I began the use of your
medicines. These helped me from the start." It is well for women to remember that the
medicines frequently given as "nerve stimulants," depend for their stimulating effec upon
Mcohol or opium, cocaine, or some other narcotic. Such stimulants cannot give any perma
i'nt benefit. They numb the nerves but do not nourish them.
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription provides nerve nourishment. It oontains no alcohol
and is entirely free from opium, cocaine and all other narcotics. It is a purely vegetable
preparation, and cannot disagree with the weakest constitution.
Sick women are invited to consult Da Pierce by letter free, and so avoid the "offensive
examinations, indelicate questionings and obnoxious local
treatments which the home physician often deems necessary.
All letters addressed to Dr Pierce are treated as strictly
private and sacredly confidential Address Dr. R. Y.
Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y.
"Favorite Prescription" makes weak women strong,
sick women well. Accept no substitute for the medicine
which works wonders for weak women.. .

of a fair-sized audience.
A class of 10 graduates, Ave boys and five

and the only criticism of the exercises
offered was against the faculty and School
Board for allowing an admission fee to
be charged, especially as three public
school entertainments follow one after tho
other, to all of which the patrons of the
schools who attend are obliged to pay.
Many patrons who were present last even

two weeks ago, while his bride was in

WORSE THlNGSTHAN LABOR
Children as 'a Rale Are' Not Taagat
Enough. Aboat "Work.
y
Philadelphia Times.
Those who attack a great evil are too
apt to forget or to ignore v the fact that
all truth In Its practical application Is-
relative, in the middle of the last cen
tury child-slavery In Great Britain
reached a stage of atrocity which caused
all good men and women to shudder. The
English public was aroused against It
and an Irresistible movement of sympathy
and humanity brought about the passage
of lawn to prevent the employment of chil
dren in mines and factqries where the
conditions of labor would necessarily im
pair their development and burden them,
then and thereafter, with misery. Too
much praise cannot be given to the phi
lanthropists who arrested this evlL It
was the beginning of modern legislation
to free childhood from oppression.
There are certain kinds of labor and
certain conditions of labor to which the
growing human being should never be
subjected. It is not worth while to enu
merate them here, except to say that such
trades as coal-mlnlng and manufactures
that are in their nature unhealthful are
among them. And In any case, no labor
should be allowed to Interfere with or
to prevent the Imparting of a' due amount
of education to every child.
Next to the evil, however, of allowing
children to grow up in ignorance is that
of allowing them to -grow up In Idleness,
or without having learned or mastered
a .means of livelihood. This principle
should be broadly applied to the children
of the rich as well as to those of the
poor, for no orte can doubt that Its ob
servance. In what eve.r- class, conduces- to
better citizenship and sounder social con
ditions. But it most vitally concerns .the
Unfavored masses, to whom the neces
sity of labor Is an ever-present reality.
The most valued part cf the education
of "the children of the poor Is the p'rac
tlcal part, and this cannot be complete
ly acquired In schools. It must be gained
in -actual tolL
A tendency to prevent children from
learning trades or from acquiring experi
ence in manual landr recrultir the ranks
of the tramps, the malcontents and evil
minded agitators. Idleness is the great
breeder of mischief, and its chief pro
moter Is incompetence for useful work.
There would be no humanity nor wis
dom either in permitting- childhood, from
an early age, to be. entirely absorbed in
work, however light or even attractive it
might be. It is a cruel thought, that of
depriving childhood of all Its sportive
Joys. But the truest wisdom can be
shown in assigning to each, of the three-t
study, work and play a fair proportion of
time. In many lines of labor, skilled and
unskilled, children might be employed for
a certain portion of each day with distinct
physical and moral advantage to them.
But it is absolutely necessary that the
law should fix the maximum of such la
bor, at the same time prescribing a mini
mum of mental training for the child.
With such a system there could be little
chance of abuse, and the average working
man or working-woman, brought up under
it, would possess a well-balanced capacity
for active membership in the productive
orders of society.
Schoolmaster Thrashed 100 Boys.
Richmond (Va.) Dispatch.
A Connecticut schoolmaster thrashed
49 scholars In one day, and tho Nutmeg
state papers are bragging that he broke
the record. He may have broken the
modern record, but not that of the "bet
ter days of the republic."
Just before the war "between the states
the lata Richard Anderson more than
doubly overtopped the Connecticut man's
performance. It was when he was classi
cal assistant to William Dabney Stuart,
whose schoolhouse was on the north side
of Clay streetbetween Fifth and Sixth.
Stuart was sick, and "Old Dick,' as tho
assistant was affectionately called for he
was aa fine a man as ever lived was run
ning things alone.
The boys, about 115 In number. Indulged
In a concerted and excessive outburst of
hilarity and devilment, and Anderson
vowed by the shades of some dozen or
more Latin Greek authors that if they'
repeated it ne would wallop the whole
party. They did repeat It, and Anderson,
who had expected the repetition and
armed himself with a bundle of switches
cut from the trees In the German Luther
an churchyard on Sixth street, proceeded
to keep his vow In fast and furious style.
The scholars ranged in age from 10 to
17 and IS years, and not one escaped. It
was a circus while it lasted, and the
yowls and laughter evoked by the occas
ion might have been heard squares off..
When the last of the boys had been
dressed down Anderson was so exhausted
that we had to turn In and fan him with
Mitchell's atlasses to prevent him from
fainting.
Elephant on a Trolley Wire.
Denver News.
The spectacle of a Dig Asiatic elephant
poking his proboscis against the doors
of a saloon at Fifteenth and Platte streets
Friday night caused consternation
throughout the neighborhood.
A panic ensued among the Inhabitants,
for no one was able to conceive how an
elephant could ever get from the Jungles
of Asia to Fifteenth street without being
properly heralded. A few seconds later
and a tiny elephant, but big enough to
walk over a shanty, poked his trunk Into
a window, and things were getting dan
gerous. It was all explained wvhen the
sleepers looked out and saw frantic keep
ers trying to herd four elephants down
the main street, but trying in vain. It
was a genuine elephantine stampede. Tho
animals belong to a "monster and colossal
aggregation of wild and wonderful speci
mens of the jungle," and will star in an
"overpowering, magnificent and absolute
ly unparalleled" show that Is about to
start on the road. They got so restive in
the cars that the keepers had taken them
out to drive them Into a corral. At least
It is a "corral" In the show hJU literature.
The big beasts shambled along all right
until they came to Fifteenth and Platte
streets, where one big fellow got his long
trunk tangled In a trolley wire and the
electric quivers Irritated him and a stam
pede began. It lasted for only a little
while, however, and the keepers finally
managed to get the giants quieted. There
was great fear for some time, though,
but finally the "colossal and overwhelm
ing aggregation" moved on serenely to tho
corral, leaving big hunks of vacuum In
the Jungle at Fifteenth and Platte.
