There has been very little change Su the weatl er conditions of the past seven days as compared with the preceding week. If anyth ng, the temperature was slightly be low the average, especially on the last two davs of the week. viz.. the 3d and 4th. On the latter date the first white frost of th season occurred to exposed localities of Douglas county, injuring teuder vegetation to some extent. Iu some sections the days were very was in, but were always followed by cool nights. The par:i-il drought of the past few week has remained utibroken till the 4th, but al this writing light rains are falling throug out western Oregon, The grain crop has all been threshed by this time. Hop picking is now in full blast in most places. Polk county farmers report that in yards sprayed with whale oil soap the lice have done very little damage. Corn in a few localities seems to have re cei?edaset back from the cool nights. Brownsville ioiks claim that the largest crop of corn ever raised in the Willamette yalley will lie gathered this year. Reports from other sections, however, are not so encouraging by any means. The onion crop is now being pulled. The general im pression seems to to point to a short crop.

They perpetually dose themselves with purgatives totally without virture as alerative of liver trouble. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is the successful candidate for the people's choice, and yet, j ulir and ' 1m wn as it is there are unfortunates who keep on trying 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 by experience, in the matter of medi cation. "Hie best guide to our feet is the lamp of experience" said a great patriot of the early revolutionary period, ar.d the ex clamation is pregnant with truth. For ovir a third of a century the Bitters daily has met with the indorsemmt of -people .suffer ing from liver complaint, malaria, constipa tion, rheumatism, debility, and troubles ac companied by dyspepsia.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED by local applications as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear There is only one way to cure deafness, and that ijby con stitutional remedies. Deafness is caU3ed by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the eustachian tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or im perfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, deafness is the result, and unless the inflamation can betaken out and this tube re stored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of tea are caused by cat irrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of tlvo mucous sur faces. 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. CHENEY ACO.,-Toledo."

You never saw such a change in a child. His limbs and body were cold. rubbed his limbs and body with my hands, and after I had given him the second dose he went to sleep, and, as my wife says.

R ECO M M E X DATf6 N INOIS FROM ILL- Wilmington, III., April 11, 1891 I would say that I can recommend Cham berlain's Remedies as a number one set of family medicines such as every home hould be provided with, lou can rely up on their being as near what they are recom inended as any medicine sold in this pirt of the country. Especially would I recom mend Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diar rhoea Remedy as having no equal for cholera morbus, colic or diarrhoea. Having used these medicines myself and sold them for several years, I know their value and ave no hesitancy in recommending them. Levi B. Dell. For sale by T. Graham. . AUGUST WEATHER SUMMARY.

In the intervals between examinations ot ' witnesses, Mr. Drake took uote of the fac that Oregon fruits were being sold in the) eastern towns as California products. TheJ dealers displayed placards labeled "Califor- ' nia fruits," but examination oT the boxes) disclosed the fact the shippers were chiefly Oregon dealer3. Peach, pear, prune and plum boxes, bearing the stamps of Oregatt . dealers, were found at nearly every town visited by him, viz : Salt Lake City, Ogden Denver, Omaha, Davenport, Chicago, Ann Arbor, Detroit, and towns of lesser uota, and all bore placards as "California fruit.' What i3 still more curious is the fact that retail dealers in the east charira more for their fruits than is deiniuded at the stalls in Portland. Splendid peaohes were on' sale in Ann Arbor, Ypsilauti, Tecum3eh and Detroit. Mich., at 8 ceuts per pound Oregon peach' es; mind you while the snua prices are charged in Portland for peaches of inferior quality. It seems that shippers are seud ing the best qualities to distant markets. The same rules aud rates for California and Oregon fruits prevail iu Chicago, Den ver aud Salt Lake the best qualities at rates charged here iu Portland for inferior" qualities. The decorations and illuminations of Den ver in honor of the Knight Templar, Mrj Drake says, was immense. The effects; produced by the electric display was superb.' Oregonian. TROUBLE AT NEWPORT. According to the Albany Herald; thq people down at Newport are having a lively time over the enforcement of the Sunday law. Recently two of its young man wer arrested for violating some of its provisions but were acquitted. The mayor, George Landis, aided by the district' attorney, Sey mour Condon, of Eugene, who happened to be over there; ordered all the saloons and places of amusement to be kept closed ou Sunday, afod gave notice through the press that any violation would be vigorously pros' ecuted. Early Sunday morning two images were seen dangling from tho top of a flajj pole, the mayor and Mr. Condon having been hung in effigy. This "was too miich for Mayor Landis and he tried to take the ob noxious figures down, but the ropes had be come entangled and they seemed to be there to stay. The mayor then arrayed himself with a shovel nnd dug the pole out of the) ground aud took the images away audi burned them. The other faction then swore; ' out a complaint and had the mayor arrested for working on Sunday. The result of hia . trial will be awaited with interest. A Io6 of notices were posted about town accusing Mayor Landis of high-handed anarchy. which were torn down, resulting in several free fight. Tho end of it seems not yeti aud some further developments May be ex pected; "THE LIFE OF MARK TWAIN."
