Western Settler's Chosen Specific.
With every advance of emigration into
the far West, a new demand ia created for
Hostetter s Stomach Bitters. .Newly peo
pled regions are frequently less salubrious
than older settled localities, on account of
the miasma which rises from recently clear
ed land, particularly along the banks of -rivers
that are subject to freshets. The agri
cultural or mining emigrant soon learns.
when he does not already know, tnat tne
Bitters afford the only protection against
malaria, and those disorders of the stomach,
liver and bowels, to which climatic changes
exposure, aud unaccustomed or unhealthy
water or diet subject him. Consequently,
he places an estimate upon this great house
hold specific and preventative commensur
ate with its intrinsic merits, and is careful
to keep on hand a restorative and promoter
of health so implicitly to be relied upon iu
time of need.

Mr. Frank Huff;nan, a ywung man of Bur

the care of two prominent physicians, and
used their treatment nntil he was not able
to get around. They pronounced his case
to be Consumption aud incurable. He was
persuaded to try Dr. King's New Discovery
for Consumption, Coughs and Colds and at
the time was not able to walk across the
str et without resting. He found, before
he had used half of a dollar bottle, that he
was much better; he continued to use it and
is to-day enjoying good health. If you have

"Oregon on Wheels." B. "W. Johnson,
superintendent of the exhibit of "Oregon on
Wheels," writes from St. Paul, Minn., un
der date of Nov. 3d, announcing the arrival
of the Oregon exhibit car in that city on that
date. ; He says : "We were four hours late,
owing to one or two slight accidents and
numerous delays. Immediately npon our
arrival I proceeded to a barber shop, where
the Oregou moss and mud was taken off. The
scenery in the Cascades was " grand, bnt
after that it was rather monotonous. Sun
day we passed a band of roving Indians with
their squaws and pappooses. ' The squaws
were on horseback, sitting astride their po
nies, with long poles reaching to the ground,
on the lower ends of which were fastened
their blankets and cooking utensils. The
men rode in wagons or on horseback, the
whole forming a rude-looking procession.
Through Montana and Dakota the people at
every station came to see the car and they
seemed delighted with everything, especi
ally the fruit, as none grows in this region.
Near Butte, Montana; we passed the famous
Anaconda mine, from which, millions of ore
have been taken. Butte is a wonderful city,
having about 40,000 population, including
numerous suburban towns. It is the greatest
mining center iu the world, as nearly every
kind of ore is found in the vicinity. We
will remain in Minneapolis five our six days,
after which we will work down into Iowa
and up to Chicago, and expect to be out un
til May. The weather is cold
here. We have had snow and ice since
crossing the divide. I saw a party out
skating this noon."
The Louden Case. Louden, who was
arrested on a charge of beiug an accessory
to the murder of Henry Ingram, was given
hearing before Justice Humphrey this
morning, says .the Democrat. C. W. Watts,
A. Miluer and Fred Goulet testified
substantially that Louden came to Goulet's
saloon in this city the night of the killing
aud said that a tnau had been killed out at
'rank Ingrain's by Frank, and - exhibited " a
revolver saying, "this iS-.the Boy that did
the work." They also testified that the de
fendant said he asked Frank when the deed
was committed if he knew who it was that
he had killed, when he said he did not. He,
the defendant, said he asked Frauk a sec
ond time whom he had killed when he said
he guessed it was Henry. Fred Goulet tes
tified that he loaned Louden a pistol since
he began working for Franks The sheriff
was directed by the district attorney to pro
duce the two pistols which were in evidence
during the trial of Frank,- which he did
when Goulet recognized th plder of the
two as the one he had leaned Louden. After
addresaes by counsel the cuurh14the-tle

A HOODOO.
The city ordinances prohibit riding or
driving at a greater speed than six miles
an hour within the corporate limits of Cor
vallis. This law was recently violated by
one, by name Joseph Brown, who was ar
rested and taken before the police judge,
where he pleaded not guilty. As a satis
faction for a jury trial, a verdict of guilty
was found against him. He was fined $30
or fifteen days in the city jail. While be
ing given the privilege to go and consult an
attorney, Brown made his escape and has
not since been seen.

A Cool Reception. A lady writing from
Coquille'ity to a friend in Corvallis says
"Ijaat Saturday evening there was a social
nartv at Araeo. and wnen the tolks trom
Norway started trrtto, one skiff upset, both
couples going in the river. The others went
to their rescue and succeeded in saving all
lives. One lady, however, went under the
third time when rescued. She was uncon
scious for quite awhile, but by persistent
work, she was brought to life." It was a
narrow escape.

The street cars at Eugene city stopped
running recently because they did not re
munerate the pockets of the operators. It !
was discovered that the city ordinances
l.-.vied a tax of $ 10 a day for each day they
did ot run, and they found it profitable to
continue operations. There is some com
plaint on the part of the proprietors, that
the Corvallis street cars are not making
favorable returns, as the patronage for some
time has been very light notwithstanding
tha i-Arant reduction in fare. Patronize the
cars and thus keep them going.

Live Ascension. Wheat is itself again
and today we take pleasure in quoting it at
86k cents witlt a promising outlook. The
foreign market, shows very healthy signs,
and Ihe prospect is good for still higher.
The Oregonian gives the San Franeisco mar-
ket at $1.82 J per cental, equal to 89 cents
per bushel in Albany but a local dealer
says bis advices are for $1.80, which should
make the Albany market 88 cents, accord'
ing to the usual style of calculating. Oats
also show up better and are quoted at 36
cents. At Salem wheat is only .placed at
821 cents. Democrat. : The market in
Corvallis is strong atthe same quotations,
having lumped from 83 cents last week. It
now looks as if wheat would not stop below
one dollar. The farmers in thuv section, how.
ever; will exercise Wisdom! in taking advan
tage of the' present situation, and not let the
market fall on them again; as it did before
Prices at present insure profitable sales, and
the Bhifty condition of the wheat market
indicate that now is tbe time to sell.- .
THES STRONGEST AND PUREST.
THE OFFICIAt REPORT OEi THIS' MINNESOTA
FOOD AND DAIRY COMMISSIONER SHOWS THE
ROVAI, DAKING POWDER THE BEST IN THE
STATE. - -
The last report of the Minnesota State
Food and Dairy Commissioner contains the
details of the State Chemists' experiments
and analysis to determine the strength and
keeping qualities of the various powders.
Samples of the numerous brands on sale in
this State were purchased and first analyzed
to ascertain their leavening power. The
Royal Baking Powder is shown by the tests
of both State aualysts, Pr-jf. Ebeiman and
Prof. Drew, to contain the greatest amount
of leavening gas of the cream of tartar pow
ders thus purchased and tested. Heuce
this powder is officially ranked at the head
of the list.
The report attaches great importance to a
series of experiments made to ascertain the
character, efficiency aud keeping qualities
of the powders. Baking powders that vary
in strength, or that readily lose strength be
fore use, are unreliable and will not give
even results; W.sul.-s, it is an indication of
the use in their couijjouuding of improper
ingredients. These testa were applied to a
large number of sampler of different ages of
the three cream of tartar powders best
known in Minnesota. They showed the
strength or leavening power of the Royal
very much greater than that of the others.
The uniformity of strength of all the sam
ples of Rojal tested was remarkable. Its
leavening power was pi-act ically unimpaired
even in the oldest specimens. The differ
ence in the amount of leavening gas in dif
ferent samples of both the other brands was
so great as to seriously impair their useful
ness in baking, As much as 24 per cent
loss was found in samples a few mouths old.
All the samples of Royal examined by Dr.
Drew were reported of satisfactory strength
and quality.
