The readers of this paper will be pleaseil
to learn that there is at least one dreaileii
disease that sCienccias been able to cur'in
all its stage and 'that is Catarrh. H i!
Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure now
known to the medical fraternity. Citarrli
being a constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
cpon the blood and mucous surfaces of the
system, thereby destroying the foundation
of the disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the constitution
and assisting nature in doing its work. Tin
proprietors have so much faith in its cura
tive powers, that they offer One Hundred
Dollars for any case that it fails to cure.

COLUMBUS AND COLUMBIA.
The Dominion publishing company, of
Seattle, Wash., has just brought out a truly
great work under the above title. It is not
the creation of one mind, but the combined
genious of four master authors, Hon. James
G. Blaine, Prof. John Clark Ridpath, J. W.
Buel and Hon. Benj. Butterworth, each per
forming an important part in its produc
tion. It is in fact four important and valu
able books bound up in one huge volume
containing nearly 900 large quarto paues
and 500 illustrations and historical paintings
many of them being full page colored plates,
and of the whole of which it is impossible to
speak in too much praise. "Columbua aud
Columbia" may be truly said to constitute a
grand panorama of our country's surprising
history. Mr. Blaine has certainly been very
happy in his portion of the work, which con
sists of a review of our country, nor has Prof.
Ridpath been less sneessful in his elaborate
and attractively written history of the
United States, from its discovery by Colum
bus to tha present time. The name of J.
W. Buel is too well known to every book
reader in this country to need any1 further
recommendation from us, and he has cer
tainly added immensely to his reputation
by his splendid biography of Christopher
Columbus, which forms an important feature
of this work. -Full justice has been, done by
Hon. Benj. Butterworth to the subject that
he has taken in haud, namely, an official
history of the Columbian exposition, than
whom certainly no one is better able to
handle this suhjet than Mr. Butterworth,
who has been acting as secretary and.Rolicitor
general for the world's fair commission. As
the century closes every intelligent family
will want a record of its wonderful accom
plishments, and a history of the splendid
events that have led up to them, and Colum
bus and Columbia is a work that cert;iiti!y
tills the beyond what would be conceived
possible within the scope of one volume. It
is certaiidy a book that every family in
America ought to and must have. We
must congratulate the Dominion publishing
company in having brought before the public
a work that will be a creditor their z:;d and
enterprise for a long time to come. We
understand that "Columbus and Columbia"
is sold only by subscription and at popular
prices. The publishers' advertisement ap

To Examine Yaquis.v Bah. The river

GREATEST SKIN CURES
Cutlcura Cures All Skin Eruptions,
Gives a Clear Complexion Free
from Pimples.
Too ranch praise cannot be said of tbc CrrriccBA
Remedies, as I bave used thura for the last year
and a hall or so, and find them to be the greatest
skin cures, blood purifiers
end humor remedies of the
age. I have used a good
many so called toilet soaps,
and I tind Cuticura Soap
is the beat I have ever used.
I tind it far superior to all
Other toilet or medicinal
aoaps. It cures all Bkiu
eruptions, and gives a clear
complexion. As for sham
pooing I would use no other,
and for the face either, as it
is a cure for all pimples,
blackheads, eczema and all
irritations and roughness of
the face. For after using
the Cuticura Soap awhile, it makes the face
smooth and cool, and does not give that burning
sensation which so many other toilet soaps do.
Try the Cuticpba Remedies and you will not
regret it that you have ever done so. .

ANIGHT ABOVE THE CLOUDS.
Last Friday morning we ladies
that is, Misses Bloss, Mollie Spencer,
Louis, Ray, Kline ami Davisson, with
Mrs. Shaw as chaperone, decided to
make a trip to Mary's peak. -We in
duced Prof. Craig to go along for com
lany with Prof. Washburn as his
chaperone; then we secured the ser
ivces of the famous guide Mr. Hopkins.
Well equiped, with a good team and
coach we started from Corvallis at 6 a.
m., arriving at Casteel's at 11. Here
We packed our horses and, after a light
lunch, set out over the ridge toward
the foot of the towering peak above, our
guide with the horses in advance and
ve girls birnging up the rear. Under
stand that we did not ride we started
out to prove that ladies could walk to
the summit and return, and we did.
After crossing Rock creek Misses Bloss
and Louis took the lead, and were not
seen again until we reached the clearing
near the top. They are ''rustlers."
The rest of us went slowly, stopping at
the spring lor a good draught of that
delicious water. No water on earth can
equal it. .
Arriving near the top, our guide
directed us to the summit, where was
spread out before our admiring guze one
of the most beautiful pictures that it has
been the pleasure of us mortals to look
upon. Spread below us was the valley,
with the shining Willamette cutting it
in, two; streaks of green and scorched
fields alternated one another to the foot
of the Cascades, whose tall, majestic
sentinels, Jefferson and Hood, with
their white helmets, stood guard over
the wild and rugged nature about them.
Away to the west, looking through our
glasses, we could see Newport and dis
tinguish the rolling billows beating
against the shore; it seemed as though
we could hear the billows roar.
We camped in the cabin and all too
soon came the morning with its beauti
ful sunrise. Again we ascended to the
summit, took a parting look at thegrand
scene about us, a cool drink- from the
spring that rises near the top, and after
three hours of downward travel we
reached Casteel's, from whose Iiospita-r
ble home we departed with a shout and
blast of our trumpets. '
At 8:30, Saturday evening, we start
led our quiet townspeople hy driving in
with a grand hurrah. We hope they
will pardon us for we h id erformed a
great feat. A sad accident occti rod to
Miss Mollie Spencer, who fractured her
left foot upon alighting from the coach
at her home. We hope she will soon be
about again, for we willmiss her merry
laugh and beaming countenance upon
our streets. Oxe of 'Em.
Misses Mary and Em tun Thompson
returned Wednesday morning from an
outing of about two weeks at the O.
P. front. They report a most enjoyable
tiuif, secured a large quantity of
berries and caught 800 fi-sli ? Look to
your laurels, gentlemen, or the ladies
will be catching more fish than you do.

KOCir3 DISCOVERY.
A remedy discovered (Tiat Is of far
greater efficacy tfiau tlio
noted lymph. .
The tubercle bacifli were discovered by
Prof. Koch, to be constantly present in all
cases of consumption. Where the blood is
impoverished or impure, there results that
constitutional condition known as scrofula,
which is cBaracterized by the liability of
certain tissues to become the scat of chronic
inflammations and enlargements.
These troubles may start as catarrh in the
nasal passages, throat or lungs, and as the
membranes become weakened, the tubercle
baccilli enter, and multiply, and we have, as
a result, that dread disease Consumption.
Find a perfect remedy for scrofula, in all
its forms something that purifies the blood,
as well as claims to. That, if it's taken in
time, will cure Consumption. It has been
found in Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov
ery. As a strength-restorer, blood-cleanser,
and flesh-builder, nothing like it is known to
medical science. For Scrofula, Bronchial,
Throat, and Lnng affections, Weak Lungs,
severe Coughs, and kindred ailments, it's the
only remedy so sure that it can be guamn
teea. If it doesn't benefit or cure, your
money Js refunded.

' c Suffers a Relapse. Chas. Strei'e. the
German who was so badly beaten some
weeks ago with a club and aim 13 1 killel,
was so far recovered the first of the week
that he decided to return to his work at the
mill. It is thought that he must have over
exerted himself as ha failed to ap?3r at the
mill Wednesday morning and when parties
went to his Iiousa to le vrn the came they
found him lying iu bed in an insensible con
dition. Drs. Applewhite and Pernot wore
called and pronounced the case brain favo
caused primarily by the terrible beating
which he received and aggravated by the
undue physical exertion to which he had
jusi- subjected him-elf. lid was removed to
the Vincent house, where he now is still un
conscious and iu an extremely critical condi
tion with many chances against his recovery.
At a late hour last night it was thought he
could not live until morning. This morning,
however, he is still in abonfc the sama con
dition and the attending physicians have
decided to perform an operation to-day to
see if they cannot relieve the pressure of
the skull on the brain, as recovery other
wise is impossible.
To Revoke Right of Way. The prop
erty owners along the projected line of the
S. P. between this city and Junction are
evidently becoming weary of the delay to
which they have been subjected, and no
wonder. When the right of way was given
to the Oregon & California railroad company
it was with the expectation that the road
would be pushed through in a short time.
That was years ago and the road is no nearer
completion now than it was then. Legal
steps are now about to be taken to secure
the return of this property to the original
owners on the ground that the railroad com
pany has not fulfilled its contract. We
don't know whether all the deeds are alike
or not, but we have examined a few of those
on file in this county and find that they give
the company absolute possession, without
any conditions whatever, in which case it
wonld seem to a man up a tree that it
would be impossible to regain prsscssion of
the land very easily. How about that, any
how! Coachixo Party. Half a dozen coaches
filled with a merry party of young people
from Albany drove into our city last even
ing, waking the echoes with their laughter
aud shouts. Coaching parties are quite
popular in the east bat are almost unknown
on this coast. Last night's visit, however,
proves that tli3 young people of our sister
city know a good thing when they see it.
Come again, and we will guarantee that the
compliment will b3 returned, with interest.
A Polk County Burglar. A thief
entered the barn of It. L. Williams, in Polk

There seem to be several "moonlight
mechanics" about our city, who have been
plying their nefarious trade on a small scale
for some time. Numerous attempt!) to enter

made at different times for several weeks
past, the latest case reported being at Prof.
W. E. .Yates' house. Nothing of any great

stop it, anyhow. No absolute proof of
guilt has yet been obtained, but certain
parties existing near town are strongly sus

Sunstroke Etops tbeWeddlng of 73 and 83,
A marriage was interrupted ThurstLry
night by the groom becoming suddenly
overcome with the heat and he had to
be taken to his hotel, where he has been,
confined to his bed ever since.
The groom in question is Mr. W. S.
Fowler who boards at the Enterprise
hotel. Until a short while ago he con
ducted a livery stable on East Market
street, but retired about a year ago with
a comfortablo fortune. Mr. Fowler ia
a widower, seventy-five years old, andj
has several grown children. A short
while ago he met Miss Lillie Townsend.
a young woman twenty-live years of
age, who is employed by J. Bacon & Sons
at the glove counter.
The courtship did not last long till tha
engagement was announced. Mr. Fowl
er's children, it seems, objected strongly
to the marriage and did everything in
thci&power to break off the match. They
were unsuccessful, however, and Junq
15, the day set for the marriage, arrived.
The wedding was to take place where
Miss Townsend has boarded for several
years. Everything was in readiness aft
the time appointed the guests, the min
ister and the happy couple.
Just before the time for the ceremony
Mr. Fowler became very faint and
would have fallen but for the support of
one of the guests. He soon lost con
sciousness and was taken to the Enter
prise hotel in a carriage, where he was
put to bed and the doctor summoned.
Hia condition was found not to be seri
ous, but he was suffering from a slight
case f sunstroke. Louisville Courier

A keen sense of humor had a certain,
convict at Dartmoor, who carted down
from hi3 cell one night his books, etc.,
and handed them to the principal warder
with a statement that as he was going
home on the morrow he required then)
no longer.
"Eh, what!" the officer exclaimed,
'Why, you've got seven or eight years
to do, my man."
"No, I ain't," the prisoner replied;
"I'm off homo tomorrow."
This statement caused much merri
ment amongst the officials and warders
standing by. They laughed oa the other
side of the mouth, however, the nest
day, for B early in the day made a
daring and successful escape from the
gang in which he was working on the)
bogs, and decamped across the moor.

Umbrella Etiquette In Turkey.
In China ladies are attended by ser
vants who hold umbrellas over their
heads. The Chinese and Japanese in
troduce both the umbrella and parasol
into their decorative work and athletic?
sports. In western Turkey it is neces
sary to close an umbrella on meeting
people of high rank, and a European
traveler who was passing one of tho
palaces of the sultan was nearly run
through by the guard before he compre
hended that he must put down the open
umbrella he carried. Every one passing;
the actual residence of the sultan lower
his umbrella as a salutation to "th
brother of the sun and the moon." Da-
