The wonderful cure related below is by no means unusual -with Hood's Sar saparilla. This great medicine lias given health to suffering children, even when health seemed impossible. The secret of its success is that it puri fies, vitalizes and enriches the blood. "I wish to tell of a wonderful cure effected by Hood's Sarsaparilla. Five years a 30 my little boy was sudden ly seLjed with a severe lameness, appar ently In his right knee, which some phy sicians said was rheumatism, while others said it was hip disease and that it was During the next winter and spring ho became rapidly worse.

The following poatn was composed by Susanah Carlton. 70 years of age, of Mabel, and sent to the Democrat for pub lication. It may be sung to any long muter tune : Young men, young men, be warned by me And every sinful passion flee, Think of my crime of darkest hue, And give to parents honor due. vWhen manhoods strengh was just in sight And youthful hopes wore fre h and bright, To wicked passions 1 gave way And clouded all my future day, My father and mother dear Whose love I never failed to share, Were victims of my cruel wrath ; Instead of love I gave them death. Oh! dreadful thought ; in one short hour Three victims fell to rise no more. When all were gone I knew full well The horrid deed they could not tell. And innocence I tried to show But this, alas, I con id not do. Suspicion soon was placed on me And I a prisoner was made to be. A criminal now condemned am I, And for the crime I soon must die And though the penalty I pay I have to meet the Judgment day. i stand upon the scaffold now, And ask a prayer before I go. The last short hour of life has come And I must meet my shameful doom. Oh ! may my awful destiny To every vouth a warning he. Dying will not erace the stain A murderer I s'ill remain.

The Portland Telegram gives the fol low ing particulars of the fall vt Ed Ken dall, who was arrested in Albany and taken to Portland Saturday: Loose morals have sent another young man to the wall of disgrace. He is E. B. Kendall, quite well known here as a col lector, in which capacity he has proven himself untrustworthy. Among the peo ple for whom he did business was S. II. Gruber, a lawyer, in Commercial block, who a few days ago suspected that Ken dall was shot in his returns. A super ficial inspection of his accounts disclosed the fact that Kendall had embezzled $46, but a more serious shortage is expected to be found when his books are more carefully examined. Yesterday afternoon Mr. Gruber plac ed the matter before Chief of Police M in to, who, after a consultation with Deputy District Attorney Fitzgerald, caused an information to be filed against Kendall. In the meantime, though, the alleged defaulter had left the city, and a a description of Lin. was wirvd to the principal points in Oregon and Wash ington At 2 o'clock this morning Chief Mimo received a telegram from Albany advising him of Kendalls arrest there Detective Sam Simmons l'-ft on the first outgoing train to return Kendall to this city. Subsequent to the filing of the above referred to information, Mrs. Kendail, wife of the accused, called at the central police station to make complaint against this festive young man for assaulting and threatening to kill her. On Thursday night be came home in a drunken con dition, committing thea- offenses which are alleged to have beiin without the slightest provocation. This, however, was not the first time. Mrs. Kendail says, tnat ter husband treated her in such a shameful manner. At the time Mrs. Kendall filed her complaint, she was ignorant of there be ing a warrant out for her husband's ar rest on a penitentiary charge. 1TJESD A X- ANNUAL SCHOOL MEETING.

Mr. Stone is manager and superintendent at least temporarily. Mr. Hammond has adopted a system of the most rigid economy. The low O. R. & N. and S.

Tangent Items. The local teacher institute was held in tbe Tangent public school house on last Saturday n, m. and evening. Tne attendance was rather small owing to the inclemency of the weather. There was not many teachers in attendance. In the evening an entertainment was given by several of Tangent's most es timable young people. Tbe house was full of people and a good program was rendered, such as reading piecre, and plenty of music and a gbuet piece was well performed but the people crowded up to the front so much and stood upon the benches so no one could see any thing, which if they all would of sit in their seats then all could have seen every thing Uiat was going on.
