They perpetually dose themselves with purgatives totally without virtore as alerative of liver trouble. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is the s iccessful candidate for the people's choice, and yet, popular and well known as it is there are unfortunates who keep on ti ying the drastic remedies of former days. It is to the intelligent portion of the public that the well known and long tried properties of the Bitters appeal. Reason, should be guided ly experience, in the matter of medi cation. "The best guide to oar feet is tin lamp of experience" said a great patriot of the early revolutionary period, and the ex elamatioii is pregnant with truth. For over a third of a century the Bitters daily has met with the indorsement of people suffer ing from liver complaint, malaria, constipa tion, rheumatism, debility and troubles ac onipanied by dyspepsia.

This is undoubtedly far below the actual facta, however, as a number of the infected districts have made no report at all, and it is believed that when the full returns are in the list will amount to at liast 125,000. The tenth annual catalogue of the Oregon state normal school at Monmouth, for 1891 '92, and announcements for 1892 '93, is on our table. .

Excavating has been begun on the ground south of the new hotel, between that build ing and SUipton Bros.' livery stalle,a front age of 75 feet, for another veneered brick building. Mr. Wilkins informs us that work on this edifice will be pushed in the spring or even possibly this fall. On a complaint sworn out by Lizzie Gra ham, J. G. Blake, of Toledo, was brought before Justice Davis last Tuesday for threatening to kill, and was bound over to keep the peace in the sum of $500 and re leased on bail. The affair is the result of a series of disagreements and lawsuits which are not at all to the credit of any locality. Notwithstanding the number of new resi dences which have been built during the past season, the demand for houses is yet considerably in excess of the supply, and every day we hear inquiries for houses for rent. Every apartment is taken just as soon as vacated. Would it not be a good idea for some of our capitaliats to erect a block of tenement houses? The open season for killing gronse, pheas ants, Mongolian pheasants, quail or part" ridges is from September 1 t j November 15. The open season for killing water fowl is from September 1 to March 15. The open season for killing deer and elk bucks is from August. 1 to November 1, but the does may. be killed from August 1 to January 1. It is'.uulawful to kill spotted fawn at any time. The excursion to the bay given by the Marine hand last Saturday evening, was not very largely attended, but every one who went reports a most enjoyable time. The boys are especially enthusiastic regard ing their treatment by the officials of the railroad company, including the conductor of the train, also their host, Mr. Abbey, of the Bay View hotel, and the residents and visitors at Newport. Everybody seemed to vie with each other to make the affair pleasant for the band boys. At the meeting of the c.mncil held Wed nesday evening, Joseph Kelley made an ap plication for the position of engineer in put ting in the sewerage and water system. The matter was referred to a committee composed of W. H. Hartless, B. R. Job and T. J. Creighton. Evidently, Mr. Kelley believes in getting in in time. At the same meeting ordinance No. 40 was passed providing that the property along the line of the proposed improvements on Second and Monroe streets be assessed for funds to defray expenses of said improvemenes. E. W. Achison called on us agiiu today, being here to put up a fine granite mono ment at tbe grave of Mr. Dunn, also one at Monroe at tbe grave of Mr. and Mrs. Hin ton. As this firm is always np to the times in material, workmanship, and price, they continue to hold the leading trade of thi t county in their line. ' They have an experi enced man at the quarries in the east to in spect all stock before shipping, and can therefore guarantee first-class work. Give tbem your order when ready to purchase. They have a new poet at Kline's, and we are promised a selection from his pen each week. The first one can be seen in today's issue.

XT IS DECIDED THAT BONDS SHALL J1S IS SUED FOR THE WATER WORKS, ELEC TRIC LIGHTS AND SEWER BRIDGE BONDS REJECTED. This city held her special election last Monday and the much discussed question relative to the issuance of bonds for the purchase or construction of water works, for the purchase or construction of an electric light plant, sewer bonds and bonds for tbe building or assisting in building of a bridge across the Willamette river at this city were submitted to the voters for their decision. A very light vote was polled, there being a total of 328 in the three wards. Notwith standing the small number of votes cast, a great deal of warm feeling was manifested, and it is now said that a number of votes were cast illegally, and that parties opposed to giving tbe council the power of issuing the bonds talk strongly of contesting the election. The official returns show that 192 votes were cast in favor of the" water bonds and 12G against, giving a majority of 66; 165 for electric light bonds and 144 against, major ity 21; for sewer lionds 183, against 127, majority 56; for bridge bonds 120. against 176, lost by 56 votes. Below is the vote by wards: FIRST WARD. For water bonds.. "T , 54 Against " 45 For electric light bonds 49 Against 47 For sewer bonds 55 Against " 40 For bridge bonds 37 Against " 58 ' SECOND WARD.

We send out to uur readers this week, in supplement form, -a few pointers concerning the Oregon agricultural college. This sup plement contains information regarding the aims of the institution, its scope, the ex penses, the conditions of admission, etc., which may be read profitably by all who are looking for some institution of this kind with a view of availing themselves of the best opportunity afforded. The ensuing school year begins the 15th of tliis month aud the prospects were never brighter than at present Prof, J. M. Bloss, the new president, has apparently in fused new life into the institution and has introduced broader aud better ideas in every branch. - This is one of the oldest institu tions of higher learning in the state aud there is no good rerson why it should not rank as one of the best. It has been located in Corvallis for more than thirty years, but during the greater portion of the time it was limited in its scope through being con trolled by the M. E. church, south. A few years ago the state assumed control and this was followed bv litigation by which the college has been greatly injured, but this is now fading into obscurity aud public confi dence in its affairs has been restored. There seems to be one mistaken impres sion regardiner this college prevailing in a number of sections, and that is that nothing is taught here except the science of agriculture. This should be corrected. As tbe name indicates, special advantages are afforded for this purpose, yet by reference to our supplement, one may see that the literary work is not inferior to that of any other institution of learning. A student may pursue the same course here that he would in any other college, and the gradu ate of this college comes forth well equipped for the struggle with the world. For the coming year the faculty has been enlarged and there have been numerous ad ditions to the capacity and apparatus so that it will open this year in the best possi ble condition for doing satisfactory work. Olive Cbkek Camp. J. 11. Bryson, S. T. Jeffreys and L. F. Wilson with their fam ilies have returned from camping on Mr. Bryson's farm. Besides their own families there were also Miss Jessie Waggoner, Miss Lena Briggs and Arthur St Clair. Their tents were stretched on Olive Creek above the old mill and near the foot of Green peak, as delightful a spot and as well, suited for camping as one could wish. They report not having wanted for game; the stream furnished abundance of trout, the adjacent fields were full of birds, and farther back in the hills the quail were plentiful. Four of tbe men with pack horses crossed over the mountains and on to the head waters of the Alsea, to what is known as the Sheep ranch, where they succeeded in killing two deer. Judge Bryson covered himself with glory by killing the first deer, and though somewhat nonplussed at first yet he acquit ted himself with bis first case in this line quite nobly. During the last week four deer were shot. Eddie Bryson, Arthur St Clair and E. E. Wilson were also successful in bagging the large game. All regret that they were nnable to remain longer in camp. Children Cry for Pitcher's Castoria.' ALBANY OBJECTS, On Monday last, the" occasion beiBg-tfc special city election, a Targe number of small band bills inscribed, "Albany has a bonded1 indebtedness of $75,000, 175 empty, houses', and people- leaving the : town dailj " were distributed over the city, and naturally the Albany papers with great; promptness enter a vigorous kick at what? they term the "Corvallis mossbacks. Under the caption, "Lying about Albany," the Herald protests in the following spirited style : "The town of Corvallis held a special elec tion Monday, on the Question of bonding: the city for the purpose of constructing water works, electric lights, sewers and a bridge. During the day some irresponsible parlies scattered hand bills over town con taining this contemptible lie; "Albany has a bonded indebtedness of $75,000, 175 empty houses, and people leaving the town daily." The authors of this colossal falsehood and their friends were in the minority, as all of the propositions but the bridge bonds werei carried, although the mossbacks resorted to every means to prevent it. Corvalli,migfsb profitably imitate Albany's example in the matter of public improvements. Tbe truth is there are scarcely any vacant bouses in Albany, and the city's business is a steadily increasing quantity. It is gratifying to notei by the vote cast at Corvallis that it is only a minority there who are such small-souled mossbacks. These bright intellects should be banished to Soap Creek and given a little corner all to themselves, where no improve ment could disturb them, as they eke out their miserable existance in whittling up goods boxes, swapping lies aud loafing; sweetly throujh the long summer days; Enterprising Corvallis can do without '" them." The Democrat, speaking on the . same subject, uses the following vigorous? language : "The most contemptible and ? . biggest liars in Oregon live in Corvallis. Yesterday a special election was held on tho question of bonding the city for four differ ent' purposes, to wit: For Water bonds, elec tric light bonds, sewer 'bonds, and bridge bonds. A big fight was made against the bonds by the mossbacks of the city; and iu order to help their cause they began flood ing the city in the morning with flyers, which read as follows : "Albany has a bonded indebtedness of $75,000, 175 empty houses, and people leaving the town daily." Every proposition passed except the one for bridge bonds. What a braZin falsehood. In the first place, what a low, sneaking, contemptible tactic, to carry a point, that: of wringing in a more prosperous city. 175 empty houses. Come down, Eli Perkins, Mr. Obenauer, when taking his directory census recently, found just three vacant houses, so he informs the Democrat. Al bany has never made'a .better stroke thau issuing bonds to give it a first class sewer system and the finest bridge in the North west, both of which have helped the city. Put your jealous feet, you Corvallis moss backs, on the fact that Albany is all right, and is on the upgrade." In another issue the Albany Democrat says, "The Corvallis mossbacks stirred up a hornet's nest when they lied about the best city in the valley in order to defeat av righteous cause. The result shows that as a whole Corvallis is all right. The city was not to blame for the contemptible conduct of a few antiquarians. Corvallis will grow and prosper regardless of 3uch slow coaches. They made a inistaka in not also voting for" the bridge bonds. We are cei tainly glad to know that Al bany is prospering since she issued ther bonds, especially because it has been deci ded that we are to follow the same plan iu measure. We can but hope that it will re sult as well in our case. Ciiolkra is America. The stcamsHp. Moravia arrived at New York Wednesday from Hamburg and reports twenty-two deaths on board during the passage ot the. ship to New York. Tbe ship's doctor snys the deaths were from cuoleraine, while the. New York health officers pronounce ther cases true Asiatic cholera. The vessel and: cargo were at once quarantined and immedi ate steps will be taken for disinfection. The. captain of the Moravia is certainly deserv ing of and is receiving much censure for his action in continuing his voyage to this conn try after the disease appeared on his ship. His dnty clearly was to turn back home. instead of bringing the disease to the new country. Everything possible has beera done to establish a close quarantine to pro tect this country at every port. The Doo Polsoner. It is becoming; qnite a frequent occurrence for valuable, dogs to lie poisoned. Just why is hard to conceive, bnt it is done, nevertheless, and. although there are a great many curs rnn niug at large yet that is no valid excuse for resorting to poison and the dog owners of Salem have decided that it has gone far enough. The sum ot $200 has been sub scribed by the citizens and will be paid to the person who causes the arrest and con viction of the person or persons who have been guilty of the cowardly act of poisoning; valuable dogs. .

His plan i to gather up the clothing on Tuesdays and deliver tbem the following Thursday.

All who have given- thi laundry a trial are unanimous in praise of its work, and the promptness ef delivery is invariable. ' "-jr.. V;.-.
