The Parent of Insomnia.
The parent of insomnia or wakefulness is
in nine cases out of ten a dyspeptic stomach.
Good digestion gives sound sleep, indiges
tion interferes with it. The brain and
stomach sympathizes. One of the promin
ent symptoms ot a weak state ot tue gastric
organs is a disturbance of the great nerve
entrepot, the brain. Invigorate the stom
ach, and yon restore equilibrium to the great
centre. A most reliable medicine for the
purpose is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
which is far preferable to mineral sedatives
and powerful 'narcotics which, though they
may for a time exert a soporific influence
upon the brain, soon cease to act, and in
variably injure the tone of the stomach.
The Bitters on the contrary, restore activity
to the operations of that all important or
gan, and their beneficent influence is reflect
ed in sound sleep and a tranquil state of the
nervous system. A wholesome impetus is
likewise given to the action of the liver and
bowels by its use.
On Tuesday night a tramp went into the
street-car house in Job's Addition for the
purpose of passing the night. Frank
Mitchell, the car driver, ordered him away
but the tramp expressed his determination
to remain. An interchange of loud words

a pistol to frighten the intruder, who finally
decided to choose a more secluded vesting
place. The denizens of Job's Addition were
thoroughly aroused but they chose to take
no part in any nocturnal warfare.

Deafness Can't Be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portions of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
eaused by au inflamed condition of the mu
cous lining of ths Eutachian Tube. When
this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed. Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases
out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an inflamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give' One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that we cannot cure by taking Hall's Catarrh

DIGGING FOR COAL.
Elsewhere this paper mentions the dis
covery of coal in the northern part of the
county. The Albany Herald, of a recent
date, gives additional facts regarding the
work now being done there. The paper
says:
Mr. P. H. Bowman, of Spring Hill, three
miles below Albany on the Benton county
side, was in the city yesterday. It is upon
his land that the recent coal discoveries
were made, which promise to result in the
uncovering of valuable coal deposits. Two
distinct veins of coal have been found, and
Mr. Bowman brought a quantity of it to
this city and had it tested in a blacksmith's
forge. Messrs. Johnson & Morris who
tested it, pronounce it a fine quality of
steam or heating coal. The samples taken
out are from the surface and having been
submitted for ages to the action of the ele
ments are naturally soft. The extent and
character of the coal deeper down is not yet
fully ascertained, but two shifts of men aie
now working day and night in a tunnel and
sinking a shaft, with every prospect of
satisfactory results.
A year or two ago an experienced coal
miner and expert from the Pennsylvania
oil fields visited the Spring Hill region and
explored that vicinity for several days. He
said there was every indication of both coal
and oil there, and suggested that it would
be profitable to expend work enough to as
certain definitely the extent of the deposit.
This the owners of the mine are now doing.
Their work has been retarded somewhat by
inflowing water, but this they are overcom
ing aud expect to have more definite results
from their work iu a short time. They
haye found coal of good quality and are
confident that it exists in paying quantities
If such proves true, it would be a valuable
addition the industries of this portion of
Oregon.

WESTERN OREGON WEATHER.
The week has beeu warm, though there
has been an absence of excessively warm
days. The maximum temperature ranged
from SO to 90 degrees; the minimum tem
perature ranged from 55 to G5 degrees. The
winds have beeu generally northerly and of

CP.OPS.
Fall wheat is nearly all cut and shocked.
Threshers will begin operations next week.
Reports all indicate that the fall wheat was
never better both as to quality aud quantity.
Spring wheat is being cut in places. Rust
iu Douglas county has seriously affected
spring wheat. Spring oats are being cut in
places, some early oats are being delivered
and a report from Corvalhs says that it
weighs 100 pounds to the sack. Some
young orchards were injured by the extreme
heat of the 25th. All reports indicate that
the 23d was the warmest day on record.
Hop lice have developed rapidly in past 10
days aud serious results are feared from
them. The codlin moth's ravages continue.
Southern Oregon fruit is better than that of
the valley counties, i. e., more plentiful and
more free from insects. Iu Curry county 5

gust 6. 1891, David Benton Mulkey, aged
62 years, 10 months and 7 days.
Deceased was one of the earlient pioneers
of Oregon. He crossed the plains from
Missouri when a young man, in 187, with
Col. Ford, the members of whose company
have, of late years, rapidly passed away. He
settled in this locality in 1846. the date of
settlement .of J. C. Avery, Haman Lewis,
Wm Dixon, John Stewart, Jos. Alexander
and a few others, the majority of whom
have preceded him to their final home. In
the year named Mr. Mulkey located upon a
piece of land two aud one-half miles north
west of Corvallis which he owned at the
time of his death and upon which he lias
resided continuously with the exception of
l-an interval of two years which he spent in
California 1848 and 1849.
The same excellent traits of character be
longed to Mr. Mulkey as atfcched to all the
old pioneers of Oregon qualities which
merit the profoundest admiration. Deceas
ed was never married, but leaves a large
circle of relatives and friends.
The funeral services took place at the
residence of A. G. Mulkey, August 7th,
and were conducted bj Rev. H. P. Satch -well,
of the M. E. church. A large num
ber of our citizens accompanied the remains

ARSENIC AND AMMONIA.
REMARKABLE CONTRAST IN THE EFFECT' Ot
TWO POISONS ON THE COMPLEXION
The slow absorptiou of many poisons'
changes in some more or less modified form
the complexion, but arsenic and ammonia
show their effect about as quickly as any
The popular belief that arsenic clears the
complexion has led many silly women tor
kill themselves with it iu small, continued
doses.
It produces a waxy, ivory -like appearance!
of the skin duriug a certain stage of the
poisoning, but its terrible after effects have
become too well known to make it of eom
mon use as a cosmetic.
. The effects of ammonia upon the complex
ion are directly opposite to that of arsenic.
The first symptom of ammonia poisoning
which appears among those who work iu
ammonia factories is a discoloration of the
skin of the nose and forehead. This grad
ually extends over the face until the com'
plexion h is a stained, blotched, and nn
sight! appearance. With people who take
ammonia iuto their systems in smaller doses,
as with their water or food, these striking
symptoms do not appear so soon. The only
effect of the poison that is visible for a time
is a general unvvholesomeiiess and sallow'
uess of the complexion.
Many persons are slowly absorbing am
inonia poison without knowing it. The user
of ammonia in the manufactures has greatly
increased of late, ami it is unquestionably
used as an adulterant in eertaiu food prepar
ations. Official analysis have plainly show
ed its use even in such cheap articles of
every day consumption as baking powders.
The continued absorption of ammomain even)
minute quantities as an adulterant in food
is injurious not msrely from its effect upon
the complexion, but because it destroys the
coating of the stomach aud causes dyspesi

Prof. Long, of Chicago, is authority for
the statement that, if to fifty million parts'

FROM NEWPORT.
A Newport dispatch, dated the 3rd inst.f
to tlia Oregoui in, says:
The Oregon Development C-impany's
steamer Willamette Valley, Captain Patton
master, came in over the bar this morning:
at 8:30 o'clock, when the tide was but two
feet six inches above low water, drawing
fourteen feet six inches of water. She had
on board fifty-one passengers aud a very
large cargo of freight. This is her first
trip since undergoing five weeks of general
repairs on the dry dock at San Francisco,
and she appears now like a new boat. The
government survey boat General Wright has
been here twice, and each time reported
only seventeen feet of water at full tide, or
nine feet at low water, and right in the
teeth of this report au ocean steamer, draw
ing fourteen feet six inches of water, sail
in over the bar without any trouble what
ever. The people here think there if
some mighty big mistake behind these re
ports and several able men are investigat
ing the matter. Siuslaw is making similar
and louder complaints, and some definite
action will soon be taken.
One hundred and fifty tourists rcamc in

Improvement in Shipping Fruit. The
business of shipping fresh fruit from thin
coast to the East is growing to enormous
proportions, and every year something new
is found out about the business. The sale
of Oregon fruit was injured in the Eastern
markets on account of the insipid taste it
had, caused on account of it being picked
before being fully ripe, so that it would
stand shipment. It is now fouud that the
last tew days of ripening on the trees makes'
a vast differ-iiicc in the quality of fruit, ami
that after it is properly ripened it can be
shipped with success n proper refrigerator
cars. The Union Pacific has sent for a lot
of such cars for the accommodation of fruit
growers of this section. Fruit properly
ripened and shipped in refrigerator cars
will arrive iu the East in a very different
condition from that picked green and ship
ped in cars merely fitted with openings for
ventilation, which, in passing through the
long stretches of sagebrush, country ad
mitted the hot air, which instead of pre
serving the fruit tended to spoil it. Ore

Work Progressing. Work on Mr,
Friendly's new saw mill is progressing
rapidly. The large timbers for the strnc
ture, which were promptly furnished by
Job & Co. 'a miil on the Oregon Pacific road,
have been at the mill site several days, a
well as a quantity of new machinery. The
stouc foundation for the mil! is completed,
and Mr. Friendly will soon have his mill in
running order and be in a fair way to re-
trieve his losses by the recent fire. The
largest number of saw logs seen here for
nuraler of years are now boomed along the
water front. They ;jire owned by Mr,
