IX THE NICK OF TIME.
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.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED
by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion f the ear. . 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.

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

HON. 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

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

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.

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. The consequenca can easily
be seen; it will be a greater attendance atf
school and will create au ititerest for the in
stitution all through the state that may re
fleet itself in increased appropriations from
the legislature to enable the board of re
gents to do more for the farming element of
Oregon. The college will never forget tho
visit of the two hundred aud thirty granger
friends,iind wa3glad to have been afforded an
opportunity to show what it hits done, still
does, and shall continue to do for the farm,
