CORVALLIS, OR., JULR 12, 1889.
A GOOD ST10JVIJVG.
The present administration is going
right along with its duties to the
American people. It finds no difficul
ty in reducing the surplus and doing it
Honestly and in the best way for the
general good. During the month of
June the public debt has been reduced
$15,000,000, the largest reduction in
any one month for several years.
Under the circul a- of April 17,
1888, the treasury department has
purchased bonds amounting to $148,
501.250, at a total tost, including
premiums, of $172,170,550.28. From
August 3, 1887, when the department
first began purchasing, to and includ
ing to-day, the total amount purchased
is $172,824,600, the cost thereof be
ing $199,374,273.76. Had they been
allowed to run until maturity the cost
would have been over $235,000,000.
The governor has therefore saved over
$35,500,000 in interest alone.
It is easy to see how utterly baseless
were most of the charges made by
democrats during the last campaign
against the purposes of the republican
leaders in case they came into office.
No attempt has been made to run the
government expensively or otherwise
than for its best interests. It is in the
hands of honest and capable officials,
who have the broadest ideas of the
policy upon which such a nation
should be conducted.
Sullivan completely knocked the
stuffing out of Jake Kilrain in Missis
sippi on last Monday. Seventy-fiv e
rounds were fought and at this end of
the last round Kilrain threw up the
sponge. The fight was for $20,000
besides 60 per cent, of the net receipts
of the tickets sold and the loser getting
40 per cent. There are a gt eat many
who thought the fight "awfull" yet
they would like that money and the
physical condition of Sullivan and
very likely they read the full report of
the mill.
The Pacific coast has suffered fear
fully from fires within a few weeks.
First Reno lost $250,000; then came
the awful conflagration at Seattle,
with $15,000,000 consumed. Van
couver came next. Then Grass Val
ley Lad a turn. Carson City saw a
handsome business block go up in
smoke, and a few days following
Hailey, Idaho, was almost completely
destroyed. Then comes Ellensburgh,
and the entire business portion of that
little city was swept away. Each city
is fearful that it will be the next to be
visited.
It was quite the custom for the
Democratic press to remark that Har
rison would not have much influence
with this administration, when the
eabinet was being formed. The re
cord of the last four months has made
quite a radical change in their estimate
and opinion. Harrison's head is now
admitted to fill his grand-father's hat
Cull of brains.
The Society of Locomotive Engin
eers was the most serious sufferer from
the great- "Q" strike of last year. It
has lost fully 1000 of its members and
ao retrograted in power and influence
that it will take ten years to build it
Up to its standard before the strike.
The organization is a good one and
should survive if it would let strikes
alone.
"With the connection of the 0.& C.
K. west side at J unction and then to
have the Astoria road connect with
the same line at some point below, or
light here, would give Corvallis a great
deal of prominence as a city, then
placing her on two transcontinental
lines.
A $20,000 schoolhouse, two new
brick store buildings, and a few nev

college, dorakory, shops and barns, is

THE KINDERGARTEN.
Published by Request.
. Some women have the mother in
stinct largely developed . by nature.
They feel they must "mother" every
thing that is weak and needs help. To
their natural gift they have added
knowledge. They learnt much from
their own mothers, and much from
their own experience gathered in youth
ful years. They' have learnt from wise
words, and wise books, andthey have
thought out their own thinkings. They
have looked back to the wants and
yearnings of their own childhood, and
their warm sympathy makes them apt
learners in the school of life, in which
little children are mostly found.
Such women, if blest with firmness
of will, and persistent methods, can
nurture their children well. They will
care for the little body as to ita health.
They will provide activities for its rest
lessness, soothing it the while with
mother song. Its active plays will
soon merge into real occupations, that
means something useful to mothers
while she is about her houbehold du
ties. All the time the mind is being
awakened through the work of little
hands. Every. little incident at home,
and every fresh sight in the garden or
abroad is, as it were, a parable, whereby
she teaches her child something fresh.
She wakes up love in its heart to all
that lives, thereby kindling in its
spirit a warm iuterest in what it learns
gradually to observe, and she points
through nature to God the creator.
This is the ideal mother. But many
mothers have this instinct but partially
developed; and what they have is over
laid with many thing's that are forever
taking up their time and attention.
The last chapter in their school life
has been omitted; they have never had
a lesson how to become wise mothers.
The precious words "mother", which, in
all European languages, comes from the
old Aryan root, and means to "meas
ure" to "manage." She should meas
ure the capacities of the child's three
fold nature, body, soul and spirit,
and manage to draw them out in their
natural order, (i. e. according to the
law of their nature,) using the one as a
feeler, so to speak, to the other. But
our mothers have to much house keep
ing, or society keeping or decorating
for society, to spend their time drawing
out the baby's powers one by one,
moulding them the while for the good
of his whole future-life.
Froebel spent the longest period of
his lite studying the real and
ideal mothers smiong his German
neighbors and counted up the number
of those who for one reason or other
could not 'iLOtber" their children
when, they were past early infancy.
From this scientific study in the
warmth of his large heart he invented
the system of the. Kindergarten the
garden of Eden for childhood. So we
may call the Kindergarten organized
motherhood. L
DOCTORING IH THE DARK.
No sensible surgeon will attempt the
performance of an operation involving
human life in a room secluded from the
proper amount of liht. A practitioner
will not attempt the diagnosis of a com
plicated disease unless he can see the
sufferer and m ake an examination upon
which to base his opinion relative to the
courre of treatment necessary to bring
about a complete restoration of health.
Notwithstanding thd impropriety of
such action there seems to ba a great
deal of doctoring done in the dark.
By this it is not intended that a literal
meaning be infeirert, but that , a great
many mistakes are committed because of
the darkness which is the result of ignoi
ance. It needs no illustration to demon
strate that gros ignorance has caused
many fatal mistakes to be made in the
treatment of diseases by those who pro
fess to be learned in the art of healing.
In many diseases several organs are
more or lees implicated and what seems
a primary ailment may be one quite re
mote. For instance, a severe headache
may have its origin in a disturbed stom
ach. On the oiiier ban I, sicknest at
the ptotnach may be causod by a blow on
the head. The seat of typhoid fever i
in the upper part of the bowels, but most
of its worst symptoms are oltea in the
brain.
Symptoms' of dissaseas well as diseases
themselves are oftentimes followers or
concomitants of some unsuspected organ
ic diseaso and this is peculiarly true of
lung, liver, brain and heart diseases in
general, for it is now known that they
are the result of kidney cfispase, which
shows its presence in some such indirect
manner.
Several years a-jo a gentleman became
xmvinced of the truth of this and through
his efforts the world has been warned of
kidney disease and as a result of contin
ued effort a spacific kiown as Warner's
Safe Cure was discovered, the general
use of which has show n it to be of ines
timable benefit in all cases where kidney
treatment is desirable or necessary.
When consumption is threatened see
to it that the condition of the kidneys is
immediately inquired into and if lhey
are found diseased, cure them by an im
mediate use of Warner's Safe Cure and
the symptoms of lung decay will rapidly
disappear.
There are too many instances already
recorded of the terrible results produced
by a lack of knowledge concerning the
cause oi disease, and human life is of too
much importance to be foolishly sacrificed
to bigotry or ignorance.
Corvalli's board of trade evidently
has been traded c'ff. Or, probably, it
has been washed away by the water
ditch: question.
Lookout how your chimneys are.
A- little caution now may prevent a
conflagration during this dry summer.
