If you want to be euro ol against the railroad and other commissions, vote for Watson, murryand Philpot. a vote useless McEl- Even republican candidates for repre sentative do not try to defend the last legislature; bat they eay they will do better. That wee tbe cry two year, ago. The democratic party of this county is in favor of the reenactment of the mort gage tax law. Therefore vote for the democratic representative ticket. Two years ago it died in the hands of tbe committee. Don't let it do it again. Do the people of Linn county want a man for bheriif who charges $5 for what the laT distinctly says 3 shall be paid, and who charges the county in cases with which it has absolutely nothing to do, then vote for Mr McFercn. His career in this respect shows that he will ring in everything possible in order to increase the emoluments of his office. S. M. Garland is becoming quite pop ular throughout tbe county. The popu list paper pays him a deserved compli ment, fie stands Ligh at home. He can be trusted to look after tL interests of Linn county, if elected to tbe judge ship. A vote for Garland will be a vote for economy and good government. Times. During the most prosperous J ear of the McKinley period the proportion of our exports of manufacturers was only 15 per cent of the total exports. In the calendar year, 1S95, we exported $40, 000 more of manufactures ihad we did in the "crack" year oi McKinley law, about which there has been so much boasting. Ex. The Australian ballot law as amended reads as follows: "On the receipt of the white ballot as aforesaid the elector shall forthwith, and without leaving the enclosed space, retire alone to one of the compartments provided, and shall there prepare his ballot by marking immedi ately to the left of the name of the can didate of his choice for each office to be filled, or by writing in the name of tbe person he wishes to vote for. A dispatch' from "Wast in? toe states that Senator Stewart Saturday preeentsd .he senate a document prepared by Wm. P. St. John, president of the Merchan-. tile National bank, of New York, pro posing a national platform tor tbe inde pendent party of 1S96. It proposes that the mints be opened to the unrestricted coinage of gold and silver alike; de mands protection in the interest of the southern cotton mills against Asiatic competition ; pronounces for tbe refer endum and initiative system; condemns Clevelandism utterly. Although it ia claimed (for effect) that Ex-Seoator Dolph ia not a candidate for re-election yet such ia not tbe case. Nothing that ia possible is being left nndone to elect a legislature favorable to Dolpb. His emiearies are at wore all over the state. One of them was in Union this week consulting with those whom he supposed to.be friendly to the man whom the people have said tbey do not want to represent them ia the U. 8. senate; to the man who ia opeely an ad vocate oi tbe single gold standard con trary to tbe declarations of the last na tional and state platforms of tbe Re publican party wbicb declare the bimet aliBm. Dolph ia not the choice of the people. Eastern Oregon Republican. Senator Teller, republican, in a recent speech said: "I am often asked Mr President, what I will do if the political party with which I have been connected and to which I am attached, and of whose record, on the whole, I am proud of, what 1 will do if that party adopts the gold standard and puts itself in Jine with those who are demanding that gold and gold alone shall measure the value of the world. I have no hesitation is saying here, Mr President, as I have said before, that whenever the political organization to which belong ceases to represent my sentiments and my judg ment on great and fundamental princi ples, I shall cease to act with it. As I speak, Mr President, so shall I vote, in the interest I believe, of tba great masses of mm of tbe country ; and in tbe I interest, as I ba'iieve, of the great masses of men throughout Christendom." Mr.Haydcn. The Stayton Times gives the follow ing interesting sketch of a prominent candidate for office : - Samuel L. Hay den, tbe democratic nominee for district attorney of the third judicial district, is a native OregJ nian, born in Eola, Polk county, 29 years ago the 18lh day of last April. He moved to Salem with his parents whiles mere boy, where he received his educa tion, after which he began the study of law in the office of H m W H Holmes at Salem, remaining therefor three years and finishine the eoarse at the early age of 21 year, at which tiuie he was ad mitted to tbe practice ot the law by the supreme court of the state. " Immediately upon entering into the active practice of hie chosen profession he confine! himself more practically to i be practice of criminal law aod be at all times proved himself capable of cop log successfully with the ablest advo cates at the bar of this state ; in all the cases in which he was engaged, never meeting with defeat here he bad a case that could be woa by the skill of an able attorney. fie has b9an euxRged as a leading ounsel in a number of the mot crimi nal cases ever tried ia this district, sev eral of tbem being noted murder trials, and among them were the Hawkins' and theSwarts' murder cases. In but!) in stances he succeeded In savin the life of his client. AH persons who had the opportunity of bearing the trials wilt re member that they - were prosecuted by the state with skill, energy and ability; in tbe face of wbicb, the defense sot np, the argument to the jury, and the man ner of conducting the trial, very clearly proved Mr Haydeo lo be an attorney of ratability. Tbe subject of this sketcn was married in July, 1394 to Miss Miller, a daujtita' of General JohnF Miller, ins of I tie best known pioneers in this Btata. He is a uiamber of Olive Lodge, N. IS, of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. Mr Hiyden in all bis transactions io connec tion with his practice of, the law, has al vays beer strictly honorable and hi co idact above reproach.

In Sterhne 111., in April, 1894, seven were killed with tuberculosis in the lungs. Fost mortem examination of Bresselera cnttln diagno sis was correct, indication! cf tubercolo sis found in each ot tbe condemned ani mals. Manufacture ot tuberculin. The tests for tuberculosis in the Breeder herd of cattle were completed Wednes day night ; seven of tbe animals showed symptoms ot the presence of the disease. State Veterinarian Trumbower ordered the animals killed aod a poet mo.tem examination was held Thursday. A large number of the prominent stock raisers in this! vicinity and interested citizens, representatives of the press, be sides several of the physicians from the city were present to witness the exam ination. The animals were taken to the pasture and killed. The autopsy was held by Dr M R Trumbower, State Vet erinarian, Ut Harry Hoover, assistant state veterinarian and 0 D Bartlett, chairman of the state board of livestock commissioners. The result showed that very animal which was killed was al fected in a greater or lees degree by this disease. Two were slightly affected and two were in advanced stages ot the dis ease. In an interview with Dr Trum bower the gentleman stated that a larger percentage ot animals tnat are housed are infected with this disease germ than those which are ia the open air. The reason for this is obvious, when one takes into consideration the germ theory of the propagation ot contagious dis eases. Animals boused in a poorly ven tilated stable are compelled to breathe the verms of the disease. If one of tbe number is infected in any degree the ( recent methods of scientific feeding of beef and dairy cattle which results in keeping cattle shot np in a close , shed for the greater part of tbe time, is one important factor in the spread of the die ease. Tbe disease in man and domestic animals Is identical, and from the fact that the gastric juices have no -Heci upon tne DfCilll oi innercu-osiB anse the danger of tbe use of meat and milk from infected animals as food. The use of tuberculin in the detection ot the disease has been explained in a previous article in the Standard as used in tbe detection ot the diseaie. It is a thick fluid, tbe agent itself being diluted with glycerine so that there are but three drops in a doss of thirty drops which is the ueoal application. Every infectious disease is transmitted by a germ, which once introduced into tbe sysVm nnder favorable conditions grows and multi plies; tbis germ may or may not be harmful in itself but each throws oB a product of its life. A substance which also may or may not bo harmful. Tuber culin is thrown off as a life product of tbe tubercle, bacillus It is quick ly and steadily eliminated frcui the syttem by natural processes ; but hile it is present the bacilli propagate rapidly, and these in turn throw off new supplies of tbe destructive agent, thus tuberculin in tubercular animals has a continuous destructive action; reaction with the germ of which it is a product within the body, while it and its associated through the various secretions; tne latter are scattered far and wide to infect other animals and the human race. The pro cess of aitifie'ally proc it ing tuberculin i as follows: A Quantity ot the bacilli of tuberculosis is select d and sepa-aled from all other bacteria, they are then placed in a tube containing the serum or clear part of ox bCood meat juice, or any other favorable - material, and the mix ture ia kept at blood heat for several weeks. During this time there ia a rapid increase of the bacilli, and a resultant accumulation of tuberculin. Tbe con tents ot the tube are then subjected to a heat of 250 fabienbeit for forty-eight hoars to kill tbe bacilli, then the con tents of the to be are filtered through porcelain nnder (air) pteesure, until tbe dead remains of tbe bacilli are strained from the liqiid and tbe mass ia evapo rated to dryness Tha result is tule culin free f.cm germs, it is then dissolved in glycerine with it small proportion of carbolic acid, the dilution making it ten per cent sola tion. Its administration is ita simple process, and consists only in tbe injection of the the required amount in the cel lular tissues just nnder tbe skin usually behind tbe shoulder of tbe animal. The operation is no more painful than the prick of a pin! The following is a list of eminent medical authorities whose opinions coincide in that the disease may be prop mated to man from the use of milk and fl-h from infected animals: Profs. Loomis, Parker, New York ; Par ker and Welsh, Baltimore; Pearson, Shakespeare, Kipper, of Pennsylvania University ; Keating, Ernst of Harvard ; Drs. Nicholas Sena, Davis and Etheride. Jos. J. Smith, Veterinary Surgeon. A Great Straddle. Mr. McKinley will need to have at least three legs to stand upon all tbe platforms upon which be has been pledged; but heaeeuos to be preparing for whatever comes by hi i immense silence. Here are three diverging earn pies. The Ohio straddle plank, pledged for McKinley, reads: We contend for honest money , for a currency of gold, silver and paper with wbicb to measure our exchanges tbat shall be as sound as the government aod as untarnished as its honor, and to tbat end we favor bimetalisro,' and demand the use of both gold and silver as stand' ard money, either io accordance with a ratio to be fixed by an international agreement. If tbat can be obtained, or under such testrictions and such pro provisions, to be determined by legisla tion, as will secure the maintenance of tLe parties of values of the two metals, so that the purchasing and debt-paying power, whether of silver, gold or paper, shall be at all times equal. ' , The California plank, wish a pledge for McKinley reads: W favor th free and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 and the making tf silver, as well as gold, a legal tender in pay ment of all debts, both public and pri vate. Tbe Illinois plank, covered with gold, with a pledge for McKinley read: We are unyielding and empha'ic io our de mands for honest money. We are op posed as we ever have ben to sny aod every scheme that will give to this country a currency in any way deprec'a ted or debased, or io aoy respect Inleiior to the money of i he most advanced and intelligent nations of the ear.1-. We lavor the use ol silver as currency, but to the extent only, and uude such re strictions, that pari y with gold can be maintaim-d. - Farm lxans. 1 have a limited amount tif can on good farm lands in Linn and ad joining county.

Bubkbart, Albany, Oregon. llalsey people are enthusiastic over the prospect ot the election ot Bob M. Miller for assessor. Tbe latest is that Senator Dolph ia slated tor a cabinet position In the event of McKinley 's election. T j Montgomery, of Sclo, could safely ba trusted with tbe pubho funds. This h his first appearance before the public. Give him a vote. Burners, Say and Uartmus have stated emphatically that they are not for Dolph under any Circumsiances. We would like to know if they are lor Mitchell. There ia no question as to the develop ing strength of S. M. Garland for county judge. , He will be a sale man to trust at the bead of the finances of the. coun ty, v, . - The only candidate tor a place on the county board in any party from beyond tbe Santiam ia W . E. Potter of Lyons. That part of the county ia certainly en titled to one man out ot the three. Mi. Potter besides is a sale, conservative man, in whose hands to trust the public business. Mr. O. A. Archibald would make one of the most efficient county clerks the county ever bad. fie has the individual capacity. His clerical experience in a peculiar manner fits him for tbe posi tion. It ia not enough to be a good man personally, Mr. Archibald is that and is as well in every respect capable. The republican candidates tor ti.e leg islature were asked whether or not they would support Hon. J. V. Dolpb for the U. 8. Senate, and they promptly and emphatically answered that they would not. fbe republican candidate for sueriffwas asked if he would refund the money obtained by bim from Linn coun ty to which he was not entitled, and he promptly and emphatically remained silent. If McFeron and Duncan have been tbe honest and efficient officers, which the Herald tries to make them out, and tbe affairs of tbe county have been so care tally and economically administered. why do tbey not explain to tbe people of the county, why McFeron presented claims against tbe county tor mpey to which he was not entitled, and why Djucan allowed these claims. Tbe ewrt records show tbat such claims were presented and allowed. Why do these parties not explain? t hen tbe Imprint finds a candidate possessed ot brains, unyielding integrity and perpetual morality, we intend to point nim out Tbe Imprint is the pa per tbat speaks what it honestly believes and don't care who it helps or binders When we find a man who stands for tbe free and unlimi'cd coinage of silver and who baa for bis aim the demonetization of the white metal, a man of monster mind, a man whose word is his bond snd a man who endorses every word of the populist platform, we believe him worthy of tbe peoples trnst. Socb is the true and noble characteristics ot Hon. II C. Watson, a free silver candi date for tbe legislators, rl. C. Watecn is a cousin of the great pofJalisl leader. Tom Watson of Georgia. Sifter Imprint. An interesting fact la tbat Sheriff Mc Feron baa been doing work through tbe county by deputies for which the law allows bim $2000 a year salary. When the fee system was done away with it was intended that the salary should cover ins services of tbe sheriff. In one or two counties, smaller ia population than Linn, but with more territory to cover the salary was increased to $2500 with the fact in view tbat the sheriff would have more ground to cover. In tbis county the sheriff bas been having deputies do a good deal o! it, much of which was in private cases, and the county tooted the bill. When she sheriff goes into other counties the law permits tbe payment of mileage whatsoever lb case, but not in tbe cccnty, and certainly not io private Tbe San Francisco i ait, a stanncb re publican paper, says: "The whole qiestion at issue is, therefore, shall the function of redemption money be again conferred upon silver and tbe condition of tbe great body of the citiaens of tbe United States be improved and strength ened, and the avenues of advancement be made wider and deeper, or shall tbe influence . of tbe money syndicates of America and Eu'ope prevail, and tbe noees of 95 per cent of the people be kept on tbe grindstooe of much labor and small compensation F With silver re- mon3tizeJ at the old trap, tried and al together satisfying ratio of IS to 1, tbe overwhelming advantage which Wall street and its greedy and selfish allies are now using to pile np riches at the expense of the masses would be broken, and nntrammeled opportunity to freely participate in tbe currents of money making would be open to all. There is no middle ground in this matter. It is tbe people's welfare and tbe remonetiza tion ot silver, or goldbug plutocracy. In short, it is the people vs. Wall street. A correspondent in the Herald does some peculiar figuring on the relative expenses of running tbe county during the present administration and that of Judge W hitney. The annual cost dur ing Judge Whitney's term was t31r 96 82. During Judge Duncan's it has been about M3.000, exclusive ot the 110,000 paid on the b-idge, though the correspondent claims less. Lie takes the ceiibus of 1880, of 11,431, seveial years before Judge Whitney's term and figures that according to the increase in population up to 18,000, that ol 1805, at pro rata the expanses now should be (51, 988 to b f qual to Judge Whitney's. This won't work. Why, bees use there were practically the same cocnty officers to pay then a uow, if anything more bridg-sto build and repair, roads to keep np aid new Ones to open, naturally more, and poor to support. Besides tbe extravagaut feerystem was then in vogue and the Herald has shown well that that alone saves the county over $5,000 a year. So .the correspondent's figures fall to the ground, though mads candid- ly- The last democratic county judge was J.J. Whitney. Ths cost of running Linn co'imy during bis four years ad miniatmtion was $127,187,31, an average f 31,7911 82 a year. Add a little over 35 per ceft to the four years cost and you have approximately tbat cf the present c unty judge fon four years, estimating it for the c imlng month or two, an in crease of about (45,003 or over 111,000 a ysar, regardless of i be change from tee to salary system the Isst two years and the fact that these are depressed times, where those of Judge Whitney were dur- i ing a comparatively prosperous era. The figures do not include the $40,000 spent for the Albany bridge. MISFITS. Hold your breath until the wcathor gets well established before making re marks. We neeed it In our business.

There is a class ot men here as well as in other places. who mako it a business to owe as many aspowible without any evident inten tion of paying their debts. Jacob Coxey, the well known populist and leader, is io be io Oregon and offers to lecture at any place for J25. Most populists would' rather he would stay away. He is here on hie'own responsi bility.

Stensloff recently made 78 in 10 frames at cocked bat. establishing a new Ore gon record. The coast record is 31. Tbat is nothing for Albany. Mtas Belle Sen ders made 41 in fite frames without get ting excited. The trouble with Albany seams ia that they do not average op well. The Reporter, in speaking of John A.

Marion county that he put bis bill ol 601.50l in for settling the Harvev estate, of 4500 In cash, for which the court al lowed $120.

It does what nothing else ever did for the sleepless, the dys peptic, and tbe despondent it cures them once and far all. Here is a testimonial from Mr. E. A. Miller of Colambus.O., accompanying tbe photograph of bis family. "For two years past I have been a constant sufferer with severe nervous headaches, oft-times being compelled to go to bed, when my bosintes necessi tated my personal attention. Last week my physician recommended Paine's celery compound. I have taken now four bottles, and have not suffered with headache since. This government, in my mind should pay the discoverer of Paine s celery corn pound a sum of money sufficient to keep bim and ail his rela tives in luxury during tbeir natural life.
