OFFICIAL PAPER FOR BENTON COUNTY
THE GAZETTE.
To all of our subscribers we ask to carefully noie
the great improvement in the Gazktte during the
last year, and after reading it carefully hand a copy
thereof to some friend or neigfrbor who is not taking
it. and who needs a paper, and ask them to subscrib
At the same time invite their attention to the fact
toat the Gazsti-k contains a greater variety of and
more reading matter, including local, editorial, tele-
hic, general news and miscellaneous, fireside and
fiiuily reading than any other paper published in
Oregon. To all persons who receive sample copies of
the GA2KTTB, we ask to read and examine it carefullv
a nd decide if they can afford lo do without it when
paper containing so much interesting reading can be
') iin! for the small sum of two dollar and fitly
c nts per year in advance.
A man should subs-ribe for a newspaper just ex
a "tly for the same reason that he buys a dollar's
worth of coffee, or transacts any other kind of busi
ness. When one buys bugar or coffee, in the ti st
place it is because it is needed, and it is bought wher
the best article can be had for the money. So you
should subscribe for your paper, because you need it
nd it does not ry you to do without it. And when
yon ub. cribe you should get the one that is the best
and the most valuable to you for your money.
We propose to furnish to all desiring, the bei
news and general family paper in Oregon and ask ell
who need such a thins; come forward and subscribe
We know ere is an occasional one who does not
like the Gazette became It fearlessly goes forward
and says the truth and what it ought to say to i
many readers. But we can not help that, becrire
any person who fearlessly discharges bis duty is licble
lo touch those who are tender.

i nc jjiorraojs now p-onose lo in
struct the legislature of Utah lo utsr a
bill making polygamy a crime, we'l
knowing that such a law could not be
enforced in the punishment of anyone.
This is to invite favor with Congress
in hopes to thus pull the wool ove
that body and then apply to Congress
for admission as a State.
Soon after the close cf he war the
democratic party in National conven
tion assembled found that the debt of
the Nation was so much that they ad
vised repudiation, but now they find
the resources of the government so
large aad the ources of revenue so
great that they are now wonde-ing if
the national deb,, vi'l not be paid oS
entirely too soon.
POLYGAMY IN C0NGS3S.
Senator Edmunds is again before
Congress with another bill to cure the
defects in his former bill on the sub
ject of Polygamy. It would seem
thrt the new one is as gr eat a feilure
in its provisions so far ar will be in tjie
effect to suppress po'ygamy as the
former oue. In order to cure the
difficulty heretofore m the proof of
polygamous marriages the new bill pro
vides that full certificates shall be
filed and recorded in a court with pro
bate powers of eveiy ma-- 'age that
takes place in any Territory, and
makes both husband and wife com
petent witnesses, who may be com
pelleJ to testify in any case whe-e a
violation of the laws regulating polyg
amy, bigamy and unlawful cohabi ca
tion is chr --ged. Such prov sions are
no doubi a slight improvement over
the old bill, but still it lacks a great
deal of being such as w ill have anv
great ei ct io suppressing polygamy.
Polygamisls carry on their injli.i'tion
1 V..I ' . i mt
tyvio anon oi law. re,r nave no
iicsitanoy in set.ing aside anv law
when opposed to their v 'shes. In
fact they are a people of criminals aad
law breakers. A law providing lh.
cerliac. ,es of maniaga shall be filed in
prooate m their territory would have
no effect: for when married they would
be ma ried in sacret and then not fie
any cejincr te as prov ided by the new
bill a id they there' uer take chances
in sweanngj it t i rough. And they
would no doubt do it, If Mi. Ed
munds does not wiso the people c
conclude him to be a fool or else pur

In glancing over the New York
Times frequently, we are compelled to
note its large se full of the most im
portant and reliable news from all
qnarte s of the globe. It is one of the
bed if not the very best newspapers
ta the world. Its price has been re
duced not long since, which its p-o
piiefco s claim has had much to do
with ;nc-easing the circulation. The

departments aft the best to be found.

We have at this office in the job depart

two good job offices. To any one wanting
to purchase we will therefore sell a job office
complete, including one press, and every

teachers would take up this question
m Denalt ot the people they could
easily rid the state of suc h an in
famous law. We will guess at a ven
ture, however, that they do not act de
i ji .
ciueaiy upon tne question, it seems
like the teachers of the country to
whom the people entrust the ednc.
tion of their children, ought to be free
to act upon this subject favorably
to the peoples wishes and uninflu
enced by school book monopolists,
although legislators can not be found
to oppose the monopolists and free
the people from this curse
Although Benton county candidates
were at the last election e'ecfed uoon
a square platform to epeal the in
famous school book law, by the means
of which the people hs.v been robbed
for so many years, but when the ele:
tion was over they never again thought
of this question. The people at the
approaching election should nominate
and elect persons who they know to be
identified with the people's interest and
whom they know will make some at
tempt to carry out the pledges upon
which they are elected. We also
know that men after being elected can
not always accomplish all they wish.
But they certainly can do better than
to work all the time in the interests of
the democracy and against their own
ticket. If men long identified with

that not only does the government ot
Germany prohibit the impo; tation of
American pork products fcr sale and

forbids the transit of Airerican ho?
products through its territory to oiher
countries, even in sesJed cas. The
red object of these prohib:'o-y regidr

protect German dealers in hog pro

Dr. E. J. Kendall & Co , Gents:- Having used a
good, deal of your Kendall's Spavin Cure with gre.
success, 1 thought I would let you know what it l.i-s
doneior mo. Two years ago 1 had as speedy a colt,
ay was ever raised in Jefferson county. When I was
breaking him he kicked over the cross bar and got
fast and tore one of his hind leys all to pieces I
employed the best terriers, but they all said he wrs
spoiled. Ho had a very lare thorouyh-pin, pnd I
used two bottles uf your KenidalPs Spavin Cure, and
it, took the huneh entirely off, and he bold aftei wards
for $1600 (dollars). I have used it for hone spavins
and wind -rails, and it has always cured complete.,
and left the lee; smooth.
It is a splendid medicine for rheumatism. I have
recommended it to a eood many! and thev pll bay it
j does the work. I was in Witherinfcon & Kncch'iid's
i drugstore, in Adams the other day and taw a very
tine picture you sent them. 1 tried to buy it bu,
could not; they said if 1 would write to yon thi tyon
would send me one. I wish you would and I will do
you rllthe good 1 can.
Very Respectfully. E. 8. LYMAN.
From the Akron Commerci
al, Ohio, Nov. 25, 1882.
Beeders of the Commercial c?n nol well foiet
th.italfje sp.-ce h?s for years bc?n taken up by
Kendall's advei Jsement especially of a csrtfin
Spavin Cure. e have had dealings wita Dr. Ken
da 11 for mpny j c. is, and the truth is rally ard t. ith
u' ! v moven no, only that he is a irood honebt man.
and tlnt his celebrated Spavin Cure is not only all
that it is recommended to be, but that the Kn JUb
nuiisejs not capaoie or recommenainj too .n-i.j'v.
Kendall's Soavin Cure will cure spavins. There
are hundreds of cases in which that has been proven
to our certain knowledge, but, after all, If any person
confines the usefulness of this celebrated medicine
to curing' spavins alone, they make a hii; mistake.
It is the best iredicine known as an outwaid appHcr -tion
for rheumatism in the human family. It is good
for pains and aches, swellings aud lameness, and is
just as safely applied o men, women and children
as it is to horses. We kn w that there are other
tCood iinaments, hut we do believe this spavin cure vo
be far better than an- ever invented.

horse two years old that contracted a bone spavin rnU

advertised, upon my own responsibility I commenced
using it and within thirty dys from at time snd
after having used only three hot os the spavLi wrs
removed entirely, and therefore 1 wtm j lly lrnve the
utmost confidence in its merits. 1 do not .ie t. te io
recommend it to all who have occasion to use the
medicine ard should any one desire to confer witf

Messrs. J. B. Kendall & Co., Gents: Through the
recommendation of a friend about a year ago, I was
induced to give your Kendall's Spavin Cuie a rfat
and I am pleased to say that I was fully satisfied with
the results. I used it in several instances upon
splints, which after a few app.ications were entirely
movea. I also used it on a spavin with the same
results. The medicine has grown in popularity in 1
this vicinity in the past few months and what is
said here to-day I believe is put out upon its m rlts.
