How the hnman system ever recovers from the bad effects of the nanseons medicines of ten literally poured into it for the supposi tive relief of dyspepsia, liver complaint, con stipation, rheumatism and - other ailments, is a mystery.

This medicine is a searching and at the same time a thorough ly safe remedy, derived from vegetable sources, and possessing, in consequence of its basis of pure spirits, properties as a medici nal stimulant not to be found in the fiery lo cal bitters and stimulants often reported to by the debilitated, dyspeptic and languid Elder L.

Four doctors gave up saying I could live but a short time. I cave my self up to my Savior, determined if I could not stay with my friends on earth, I would meet my absent ones above. My husband was advised to gel Dr. Kiug s New Discov ery fot Consumption, Coughs and Colds.

We hope it will, and we trust that our good friend John will become a millionaire, but we doubt very much whether the strike will pin out in the long run to meet the fond anticipations of its finder.

It is the local paper that advertises your business, your schools, your churches, your numerous societies, and smypathizes with you iu your affliction and rejoices with you la your prosperity. Iu fact, it is the local paper that mentions the thousands of items in which you 'are interested during the year. The metropolitan papers are all right, but you never see these thiugs iu their columns, and you never will. There is but little doubt but that many persons suffer for years with ailments that could easily be cured by the use of some simple remedy. The following incident is an illustration of this fact: My wife was troubled with a pain in hei side the greater part of the time for three years, until cured by Chamberlain's Pain B.tlm. It . has, I think, permanently cared her. We also have used Chamberlain's Cpugh Remedy whenever needed and believe it to be the best iu the world. P. M. Boston, Peun- ille, Sullivan Co., Missouri.

Tom McNary, a notorious character. whose career has been as varied as it is vi cious, had his leg broken over at Albany by being knocked down a short flight of stairs by an innocent old man, whowas act ing in self defense.

It is most extensively employed as a cheap substitute for cream of tarter in the manufacture of baking pow ders. It has not been considered immedi ately dangerous; although if continued it induces dyspepsia and obstinate constipa tion. But the fact that many cases ef poi soning have occurred from the use of alum, puts the question in a more serious aspect, aud prudent, people will exercise caution in the selection of baking powders. "Under what conditions then, does this substance formerly used only for mechani cal or medicinal purposes become poison ous? They are certainly obscure, and at present we can only surmise what they may be. We suspect that the cause exsists in the individual poisoned; some peculiarity of the constitution producing a morbid change in the secretions of the stomach, with which the alum combines and forms an ac tive poison; or the secretions may be healthy but in unusual proportions, and that these less or greater proportions in combination with the aluin constitute a poison. "For example, two parts of mercury and two parts of chlorine form calomel, which is not poisonous, but change the proportions to one part mercury and two parts of chlo rine, and we get corrosive sublimate which is a deadly poison. Then again, we know nothing of the con stitutional peculiarities. Why is it that one person can eat all kinds of green fruits and vegeiauies witii impunity, while the same course might cost another individual his life? One person c.ui handle poison ivy and sumac without being in the least affected; another is poisoned if he approaches to within teu feet of them. Out of a family residing in a malarial district, some of the members will suffer half the year with fever aud ague. while the othersjwill enjoy excellent health during the entire year. Foods that are wholesome to some prson3 are actually poi sonous to others. This is e,pecially:true of some kinds of fish. There is no safety in taking alum into the stomach, as it isj shown te be always injurious, and often danger ous. " The Scientific American published in a receut number a list of alum and ammonia baking powders, which is of great value at this time. Following is the list compiled from official reports. Powders marked with a star seem to have a general sale, as they are mentioned in at least two of the official reports. atlantic4 pacific. royal. CROWN. SILVER SfOON. COOK s FAVORITE. SCIOTO. CRYSTAL.

The Grain Crop. -The" harvest is" overh and the general whet yield is larger on thtf average than it has eyer been before in the" Willamette Valley. This is due almost" wholly to the favorable1 weather conditions' that have prevailed through the entire sea son, lhe record in Benton county Iiasr never been beaten, if ever, equaled. The' waving grain long ago gave promise of this' immense yield. Some fields in the county are reported to have reached as high as 6(t' bushels per acre, but the average for fall-' sown grain is between 30 aud 35 bushels, - while spring grain will not go abovtf 25" bushels. The circumstances all arcuncl have favored the farmer this year. He1 reaps the full fruitage of a bountiful harvest' and at the same time enjojs the luxury of good prices as a reasonable merit for hisf' prolonged efforts. His prosperity will en ter into the thrift that actuates financial -strength in the busy marts of trade, lift?" longstanding mortgages, make1 debt easier money plentier and times better generally . It is a happy time for the farmer just bow The Wheat Market. There has1 been a shifting of prices iu the local wheat market" during the past week in this cityV nmr- wheat stands to-day four cents lower than" it did ten days ago. The Corvallis market)'' has been stronger and steadier than" an" other market in the valley, ami the amount" of wheat in the aggregate that has changed hands has been exceptionally large. While ' wheat in the Albany market was only 82f cents one week ago, it was 85, in this1 city, with a downward tendency. The price, at" Albany yesterday was about 80 cents, and1 probably lower, while here it is 82 cent 8. A large amount is being hauled to this city for storage and shipment, considerable o( which comes from Linn county.
