The nick of time to slop the course of blad der and kidney complaints is when the or gans concerned exhibit a tendency to grow inactive. The heuUhful impulse toward ac tivity that they receive from Hostetter's Stomach Bitters rescues them from impend ing danger, end averts such dangerous mala dies as Brisht's disease and diabetes, blug eisbnessortho kidneys increases a liability to chronic rheumatism, gout and dropsy, and since the blond is filtered by these organs in its passage through them, the operation of tiie letters serves a aouoiy nappy purpose. The medicine nets without exciting, like the fiery stimulants or commerce. .Malarial, dyspeptic, constipated and nervous invalids are thoroughly relieved by it. Since the ad vent of that shocking malady, la grippe, it has been widely demonstrating its usefulness as a curative and preventive ot it. A Brother Mason Missing. Roscoe W Jennings, au A. F. & A.

There is only one way to cure Deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is cause! by an inflamed condition of the mu cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness is tho result, and unless the inflamation 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 cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free. -' F.J.

The observance of the 30th day of May as a day for decorating the graves of the dead and otherwise showing the regard for the loved ones whs have gone before, al though of comparatively recent origin, has found favor in the eyes of all, and each suc ceeding anniversary receives such recogni tion as it really deserves. Originally intro duced for the purpose of showing regard for these who fell in the defence of their coun try during the war, the beautiful custom found favor at once in the eyes of all aud was adopted almost universally and has now come to be regarded as a national institu tion.

Ou Monday the street sprinkler was started out on its summers work. The first trip narrowly escaped resulting iu a serious accident. While it was standing iu front of Thos. Graham's drug store, the horses became frightened and suddenly started to run. Mr. Clark, who was iu the driver s seat was thrown backward ou top of the tank and fell from there to the ground, receiving several bruises and being otherwise shaken Up in the operation. Wni, Beckweth, who was near, seized the animals by the bits and attempted to stop them but was dragged along for a consid erable distance before ho could control them. The runaway was gtopped finally in fi-ontof the free reading room, before it had done any further damage. Mr. Clark's injuries are not likely to prove serious and he will soou be on the streets again. Last week we noted the fact that deputy sheriff Scraflord had gone to San Francisco armed with requisition papers for the arrest of William Dragg, charged with arson in this county. The latter had boan serving a sentence for some of his misdeeds in Califor nia, but his term expired tho day before Mr. Scrafford reached there and he had been re leased, whereupon ho promptly disappeared and tho officer wa3 forced to return without his expected prisoner. The officers at San Francisco are looking for Dragg, however, and it is posiiblo that he may yet become a guest of the Hotel da Mackay . The job department of this office has been crowded to its utmost limit during the past week-and has been goiug night and day. The ballots for the coming election occupied our undivided time aud attention for sev eral days and occasioned considerable de lay in turning out other work. The force was divided into two shift3 aud the presses kept goim; constantly. The ballots num bered 25,000, with 21 changes of form. We have now caught up and can insure prompt delivery of all jobs which may be entrusted to us in the f vture. t' That CoaIl Mine.

C. XV. FULTON'S SPEECH. There was an enthusiastic republican meeting last Tuesday evening. The circuit court room of the court house was well tilled with an intelligent and appreciative audience wheu the speaker of the evening, the Hon. C. W. Fulton, of Astoria, arrived. Hon. G. A. Waggoner, iu au introductory address, among other things said, "ws have the honor of having with us this evening, a man iu sympathy with the interests of America. He is in favor of American in stitutions, American industries, and Ameri can working men." The many ladies pres ent joined in the welcoming apulause of the audience when Mr. Fultol camo forward to address the assembly. He-began by saying that he was a repub lican because iia party is one of progress; it is aggressive, and has a history. It has always taken the initiative in all move ments of progress, aud has always been able to lead. A republican, unlike a demo crat, can look back upon hi3 party records with pride. Ho can now with pride point t.i the prosperity of this, our great govern ment, the result of 39 years republican policy. The democrats oppose everything. They are negr-itive in their character, are motion less, they are petrified. They are the clogs upon the wheals of fortune, while the republicans stimulate progress by fostering home iuterests, the democrats retard tho same by their eternal tinkering with the measures instituted by -statesmen. The present congress i3 a monument of stupidity and mismanagement. The demo cratic doctrine of free trade is such as will make U3 compete with the pauper labor of the foreign countries. They would have our laborers live a3 do the Chinese, upon ten cents a day. Republicans can not and will not do so. We have vast agricultural interests, extensive mines, mountains and forests to work and utilizj. While free-trade England has increased in wealth 14,000,000, wc have increased 30,000,000 under our protective system, or England gaining about 50 per cent, and the United States about 530 per cent, iu the same time. After a very exhaustive and thorough ar gument in favor of protection, Mr. Fulton closed with the hearty support of the ma jority of the audience. All are confident of the success of the republican party iu the coming election. The democrats are to be pitied for losing their valiant and redoubtable leader. Syl- 1 vester Penuoycr. lie has deserted them in this their hour of need. Let us net exult over them in their distress. As a public speaker, Mr Fulton has not a ' superior in the state of Oregon. The peo-' pie who heard the democratic orators, s iy tbey will not compare favorably with Mr. Fulton. He is a good man iu a good party. ' Fine Monuments. Saturday, May 21, Mr. E. W. Achison. of the firm of E. W. Achison & Co., was iu town, haviug been called here to place a monument at the grave of Hon. Thos. E. Cauthorn. While this firm at all times handle the best grade of work, this oue is a partici larly tine piece of the celebrated Barre granite, and for workmanship is unsur passed, and the price was 20 per cent, lets than Portland prices for the name work. When you want to purchase see them and you will be astonished. Tuesday, May 21, Mr. Achison called again, having placed a monument at the grave of Mary Edwards. This firm is doing the leading business in this line in the state and as their work is al ways first class any one may expect to get just the article they order. Excursion Declared Off. The pro posed excursion up the valley of tha gsnaral assembly of the Presbyterian church, now in session at Portland, is declared off. The Southern Pacific railroad would give no spe cial rates, while the Union Pacific offered fres excursions on all their lines, both by rail and boat. Tho Oregon Pacific also ex tended every possible courtesy to take these distinguished visitors to see soma thing of Oregon besides Portland. It is uu fortunate that these straugers should return home under the impression that Oregon is in Portland, rather than Portland in Oregon. Should this b3 the cise, it will ba largely due to the limited hospitality and selfish policy of the S. P. Co. Sudden Ill.vem. J. A. Kutgnt, a prom inent merchant of this city is lying in a critical condition at his horns, with but slight chance3 for hU recovery. While at lodge Tuesday night ha was sa Mealy seized with a severe fit of coughing which biiMt a blood vessel in his right lung. H;5 was removed to his hoaia aud medical aid called. At the tini3 it was thought that death was certain to ensii3 almost immedi ately, but strange to say, a slight improve-, ment his taken placs and at preseut there are som3.-ckaace3 for recovery, although in his present condition, a very slight relapse would prove fatal. Lasi Saturday, while the workmen were engaged in laying the stona foundation for the new hotel, a portion of the earth'at the rear of the lot caved in, burying four of the men under the debris. On beiug extricated from their position it wa3 found - that al though all 'f them had received numerous bruises, none of them were seriously injured. The work is progressing rapidly and it i3 expected to have the foundation completed by tomorrow night. The work beiug done is the best possible and certainly reflects credit on the contractors. A meeting was called at Nick Beason's store Wednesday evening for the purpose of organizing a farmers' aud workingmeu s pro tectLve association. The attendance, how' ever, was so small that action in the matter W43 iudeUojtelv postponed. THE GRANGERS VISIT THE COLLEGE One of the most importaur, as well as, pleasaut days iu the history of tho Oregon tate agricultural college, was May 25,1892, Early in the morning it began to be whisp ered about that a few of the representatives; of tho state grange, now in session in Al bany, would probably visit the college dnr iug the day, about 1:30 p. m. An extra, train pulled up at - the main entrance of the. college, ami from the three coaches a whole army of tillers of the soil, accoinpauied by their charming wives and daughters, crowded forward upon the spacious side, walk in the direction of the main building. What a stately collection of lovers of Short horns, Clydesdales, Southdowns. What an exquisite gathei ing of fair cooks, makers of the genuine "gi't edged," the flowers of Oregon. It was enough to gladden the heart of the worst misanthrope. Arrived at the college building, the professors and officers of the institution took charge of the repre sentatives and divided them up into squads of twenty or thirty, piloted them all over the premises, through the buildings, greens houses, laboratories, shops, barricks, eta, explaining everything that was thought would be of interest to them. Points of special interest seemed to be the museum. Miss Siicll's kitchen aud Frof. Bcrchtold's art gallery, where is arranged in tasteful order the wen; in free-hand drawing of the last two terms. Everywhere, iu the fields, iu the shops, in the barn, on the campus where Captain Warren's flashing sword di rected two military companies iu their man. envies, did the farmer's eye see something that delighted his sou1.; it was apparent from looks and words that the keen eyed granger was satisfied, that he was surt prised to find in this iustitution so many thing3 that he had not been looking for in the way of preparing farmers' sons and daughters for practical life. The old o: chard that formerly produced nothing but codlin moth stands there, reclaimed from the blight, iu virgin beauty and splendor. All the boy3 have learned in the way of re moving tree tops, noxious insects, etc., they wiil take home and put into practice. The, intelligent farmers were quick to see into that, but not any quicker than their wives were iu appreciating the work done by their daughters iu the cooking and sewing depart ment. Equally delighted were both parts iu the thought that on coming home tha young man would put into practice his ideas; gained in the mechanical department and would at once set to work fixing the wood, shed and put a Sunday garment on the milk hone. This visit of these representatives will be far reaching iu its effect. Many of these, men and women never were in an agricul. tural college and had consequently no ade quate idea of its usefulness, but now upon their return home this matter will become a subject of conversation, will be discussed at their meetings.
