MORTAR-SPOTTED SKIN
Covered with Scales. Awful Spectacle.
Cured In Five Weeks by the
Cutlcura Remedies.
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.

A Close Call.
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.

They were gotten out under the di
rection of Mr. D. M. Large, superin
tendent of bridges on the Oregon
Pacific railroad. 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 Corvallis . ice works
are now operated to their full capacity.
The entire outfit of machinery is new and
first-class and Mr. Zeis proposes thnt in the
future Corvallis shall be fully supplied with

factory at present is rnnning day and night;
its capacity is three to four tons a day. The
new delivery wagon was put on the cily
route this week and in the future ice will be
delivered right at your door every day.
Leap Year Ball. At their meeting last
Monday afternoon, the ladies of the firemen's
coffee club decided to celebrate this year with
a leap year ball in the opera house. The
evening of Friday May 27 was tho date fixed
for the event and the disciples of Terpsichore
will be given an opportunity then to indulge
to their entire satisfaction.
Buggies and Carriages. All persons
wanting a nice buggy, carriage, hack or cart
will do well to call at the Corvallis Car

amine, before they are painted, the nice,
