Aloutthelt of April lastl noticed some r-d pim ple iike coining out all over my body, but thought nothing of it until somo time later ou, when it begun to look like spots of mortar opotted on, and which dime off in liiyers accompanied with itching. I would scratch every nitrlit until I was raw, then the ncxtnicnttne scales oeininonuea inecnwiiile were scratched off acain. In vain did I consult all the doctors in the county, but without aid. After giving up all hopes of recovery, I happened to see un advertisement in the news paper about your Cuticuri Kkmedies, and purchased them from my druggist, and obtained Js. 3j almostimmediate relief. 1 began to notice that tne scaly eruptions gradually dropped oft and disap. peared one by one, until I bad been full v cured. I had the dis ease thirteen months before I began taking the Kemediks, and in four or live weeks was entirely cured. Sly disease was eczema and psoriasis. I know of a great many who have taken the Kemf dils, nud thank me for the knowledge of them, es pecially mothers who have babes with scaly erup tions on their heads and bodies. I cannot express my thanks to you. My body was covered with scales, and I was an awful spectacle to behold. 2sow my skin is as clear as a baby's. GEO. COTEY, Merrill, Wis.

Mr. J. P. Blaize, an extensive real estate dealer in this city, rarrowly escaped one of the severest attacks of pneumonia while in the northern part of the state during the re cent blizzard. Mr. Blaize had occasion to drive several miles during the . storm and was unable ta get warm, and inside of an hour after his return he was threatened with a severe case of pneumonia, or lung fe ver. Mr. Blaize sent to the nearest drug ftore and gut a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, of which he had often heard, and took a number of large doses. He says the effect was wonderful nnd that in a short time he was breathing 'quite easily. He kept on taking the medicine and the next day was able to come to Des Moines. Mr. Blaize regards his cure as simply won derful and says he will never travel again without a bottle of Chamlierlain's Cough Remedy. The (Des Moines Iowa,) Satur day Review. 50 cent bottles.for sale by T. Graham, druggist. Saunders Interviewed. It is generally understood that couvicts are uever allowed to talk with each other. The following from the Statesman ia interesting: W. W. Saun ders, a life timer, told a reporter that the admiration of the institution and the won derment of the visitors was the "Con Ga zette." He s tys news travels from cell to cell aud throughout the institution with the rapidity of lightning, aud yet no one knows on what wing3 it is ctrried. He said he would venture the assertion that before the reporters had been within the enclosure ten minutes every man "on the inside would know that a couple of Statesman reporters were making a tour of the institution. And all of this news passes from mouth to mouth with such rapidity as to astonish, even the prisoners themselves. Mot So Bad After All. E. V. Wood, of McKee's Rocks, Allecheny county. Pa., in-speaking to a traveling man of Cliamberlaiu's medicine said: I recom mend them above all others. I have used them myself and know them to be reliable. I always guarantee them to inv customers and have never had a bottle returned." Mr. Wood had hardly, finished speakiug, when a little girl came into the store with an empty bottle. It was - labeled ''Chamber bun's Pain Balm." The traveler was inter ested, as there was certainly a bottle coin ing back, but waited to hear what the little girl said. It was as follows: "Mamma wants another bottle of that medicine; she says it is the lest medicine for rheumatism she ever used." SO cent bottles for sale by T. Graham, druggist. . Failed to Snow Up. Some time ag o N. P. Newton of Philomath and Wm. Ryals who Mv-ps a few miles nortlfof Corval lis, both leading horse men of this county, got into a warm discussion over the merits of. their favoritu breeds of draft horses- Mr. Newton is the owner of a fine Clydesdale stallion, and Ryals owns a Sne English shire. It was agreed to hold a horse show o' their own last Saturday at Johnsons Livery Stable. Mr Newton appeared With his own horse, "Munk Barns, four suckling colts and two yearling Clydesdales,' which were all fine repersentatives of their stock, and it is doubt ful if better draft colts could be shown any where. For some unaccountable reason Ryals did not keep his appointment and his English shire was not represented at all. : Rev. G." W. Hill of the Albany Baptist church, will preach at the Evangelical church in this city next Sunday at 11 a. m. All are invited. When Baby was sick, we gave her Castoris.

Mowrey, ot Jarviaville. W. Va., says: "Since we have been haudling Chamberlain's Cough Remedy we ' have sold it on a strict guarantee aud found that every bottle did good service.

Ho country can surpass the Santiam districts in the wealth of forests. SAFETY IN THE MIDST OF DANGER. This would seem a contradiction-is so, in fact, to the eye. But experience has proved its possibility. Take the case of the in dividual who dwells in a malarious region. A robust constitution ia no certain defence against the dreaded chills. What is? Re corded testimony, covering a period little short of half a century, proves tha- Hos tet ter's Stomach Bitters is precisely this. This continent dos not limit the field where the medicine has proved its efficacy. In Sonth America, the Isthmus of Panama, Mexico, everywhere in fact where miasma-born dis ease takes on its most obstinate and formid able types, the Bitters is a recognized specific in illimitable demand, and prescribed by physicians of repute. Potent, too, is it in disorders of the stomach, liver and bow els, and against that destroyer, la grippe. It improves appetite and sleep, neutralizes rheumatism and kidney complaints. Ice Factory.

The entire outfit of machinery is new and first-class and Mr. Zeis proposes thnt in the future Corvallis shall be fully supplied with all the ice needed.
