PREVENTING FUTURE MISERY.
If there is, in this vale of tears, a more
nroliric source of misery than the rheumatic
twinge, we have yet to hear of it. People
are born with a tendency to iheumatisin,
just as they are with one to consumption or
to scrofula. Slight causes limy develop
this. As soon as the agonizing complaint
maniferts itself, recourse should be hail to
Hodtetter'i Stomach Bitters, which checks
its further inroads and banishes the rheu
matic poison from the system.. This state
ment tallies exactly with the testimony
of physicians who have employed this fine
blood depurent in their private practice.
There is also the amplest professional and
general testimony ax to the efficacy of the
Bitters for malaria, liver complaint, consti
pation, indigestion, kidney trouble, nervous
ness and loss of appitite and flssh. After

CONGREGATIONAL ASSOCIATION
The Willamette association of Congrega
tional churches held session with the Con
gregational church of Corvallis April 18th
and 19th. Abont 100 delegates were present
and the proceedings were spirited and of
considerable interest. Following is a brief
review of the work:
TUESDAY P. M. '
Convention called to order by C. C. 1
Hogue. Rev. J. L. Hershner, of Albina,
elected moderator; Mr. A. E. Wheeler, of
Eugene, scribe.
After the regular order of business of ex
ecutive organization Rev. H. V. Rominger,
of East Portland delivered an address on
"The Today and Tomorrow of the Church,"
being a very able effort on the condition of
the church of today, and a Stirring prophetic
allusion to the possibilities of the church of
tomorrow.
This was followed by an address by Supt
C. F. Clapp, on the American home mission
ary society. Xhe speaker gave some very
interesting statistics relative to the condition
of the parent society in New York, after
which he took up the work of the society in
Oregon. Mr. Clapp said: "The spiritual
destitution of Oregon oulsido of the larger
cities is simply . amazing," and closed with
an . eloquent appeal to the purses of the
christian people of the state to do more ag
gressive work for the evangelizing of the
state.
Rev. H. L, Bates, of Eugene, then told
the convention 'IIow to be good Congrega-
tionalists," offering as necessary factors to
good Congregationalism the following:
Be
I vfli to vmlP nolitv whieh embodies an
unswerving fidelity to the vows we have
taken. Be in harmony with all enterprises
tending to build up the denomination as a
Whole.
After Mr. Curtis finished he offered the
following resolutions. Resolved: That
every Sunday school connected with a
church accept the special care of one or
more of the missionary Sunday 'schools
nearest it. Resolved: That every cliurch,
Sunday school, Y. 1. S. C. E, and every
ladies' society make an offering during the
year for the support of the C. S. S. and P. S.
Rev. J. M. Dick of Hillsboro followed in
an address on "The today and tomorrow of
the Temperance Conflict." The speaker
struck thj key note of the successful solution
of the temperance problem, in the following
suggestions and needs: 1. Enforce tem
peruncc laws now on statute books before
enacting new ones. 2. We need systematic
scientific temperance study in our schools;
"Thu star of hope of the temperance conflict
hangs over the school house." , 3. We need
the ballot in the hands of the women; 'It
is no more degrading for a woman to place a
ballot in the ballot box, than it is for her to
stand over a wash tub,' earning ' money to
support the children of a drun ken husband
and fnthei." 4. Wa need the absolute
withdrawal of christian voters from the.
parties who sustain and support the liquor
traffic.
TUESDAY EVENING.
After a song service lead by Rev. Hersh
ner and a beautiful anthem , by ' the choir,
Re. E. E. Smiley, of Vancouver, Wash.,
delivered in an exceedingly impressive man
ner the annual association sermon, from the
text "What think ye of the Christ?" We
quote from his sermon a fewjems of thought;
'To knw Christ is to have our hearts in
correspondence with His;" Christ was the
Truth ior fat put it into life;"- 4(We see in
the life of Christ, God, in humanity reveal
ed;" "What a man thinks of Chritt de
pends largely Upon when he looks to find
Him." Taken all together this ssrmon was
a masterly effort, well written, well, deliver
ed and showed a vast knowledge of the
truth in Christ as revealed in the scriptures.
Rev. Dr. McClelland, President of Pacific
.university, (the Cong'l school at Forest
Grove,) then delivered an address on the
"Today and Toworrow of Pacific Universw
ty." Dr. McClelland gave information as to
the foundatisn of the school, elaborating up
on the outlook and gave such statistics as
showed this school to he near the head in the
row of schools on the Pacific coast.

A BIG PAY DAY.
- Yesterday forenoon a special train arrived
in Corvallis over the Oregon Pacific railroad
bringing a number of officials of the road.
Important among these was John P. Fay,
of the law firm of Fay & Gest, attorneys for
the present management, who has just re
turned from New York. Under the circum
stances it Was quite natural to surmise that
Something was on the t.tpis, and ere long the
rmnor went flying about that the promised
$50,000 back pay due the railroad men was
about to come forth. Nor did the report in
this instance prove a shadowy disappoint
ment, as similar reports have so often proved
bforei A few hours later it developed iufo
veritable fact, when Paymaster Hogue
took his train for the bay, where he com
meucedjto distribute the long looked for
funds that will make glad the hearts o
many men along the line.
The payment now making constitutes 46
per cent, of arrearages. It begins with the
7th of March, the date upon which the re-
eeivership changed, and goes back to Octo
ber. While this leaves the larger balance
still due the labor creditors, still it will be
as a comforting poltico to an aching brow,
until tha sal of the road which comes on
apace, when there is every reason to believe
provisions will be made for the payment cf
the back wages' still due. . At any rats the
air of determination now prevalent in the
management to get affairs straightened out
aud the road on a payiug basis, inspires all
mcerned with new hope and confidence,
and there is a broad smile of satisfaction
visible on every counternance iu the co
mumty.
A man has to be pretty well covered with
moss not to be a regular advertiser. Here
is another cvse of the value of advertising
A family down in Florid-i lost one of their
children. .After failing to find it for two
days, they put a twenty-five cent notice in
a papei and the next morning they were sur
prised to see an alligator upon the iloorstep
where he had disgorged the lost child alive,
and then J.ied biaisalf. They sold the al i
gators hide for $A, and the parents are ex
hibiting the child iu a dime museum for $50
per week. The story illustrates the value
of advertising. It also illustrates the writer
as a cheerful and painstaking liar.
Another Oregon boy lias won great honors,
out in the big world. Percy N. Olmsted,
son of Judge M. L. Olmsted, of Baker City,
is the cadet for Oregon at Atinupdlis, and
was houored by the grade of commander of
his class. Tnis position is one which is at
tained purely by merit and hard work. The
class graduates June 1st, ater which Percy
will be sent abroad for two years, before be-
ir.g commissioned fer regular service. He
holds the second best record in the world for
artillery shooting, the first being held by a
Minnesota boy, who is a cadet at Annapolis.
A 8 soon as a vacancy occurs Percy will go
into the service of Uncle Sam on board one

There is a Systematic understanding among
the celestials of the country just what to do
in this matter, and if there is one of them
on American soil who is not thoroughly

TAKE A WALK.
A gnod walk docs w hat so many patent
medicines profess, but usually fail to do,
it helps to prevent almost any ailment under
the sun; and it does it by keeping the sys
tern in good condition. During the fim
they were living in London, Dean Swift and
Matthew Prior used to take long walks to
gether daily, for their health, explaining to
their friends that Swift was walking to re
duce his flesh, and Pri&r, who was notori
ously thin, to add to his. The two objects
are not inconsistent; for extreme leanness,
as well as extreme fleshiness, is due to im
perfect assimilation of food, and the walk
by improving digestion, will serve to modify
each complaint. There is nothing Which
will so surely render useless all tonics, anti
fat remedies, ' liver pills, anil cosmetics of
cverv description, as a fine, brisk, cheer.

A VALUABLE WORK.
A. E. S.irgent, representing, the "Home
Knowledge and Supply Association," of
San Francisco, is iu this city and was a call
er at the GazcttE office yesterday to exhib
it Something of the eliatacte' of the work
he represent. -Concerning this matter the
following sketch from the S.u Francisco
Chronic'c sets forth what appears to be the
facts:
The Home Knowledge and Supply Asso
ciation of Sail Francisco has published a
splendid atlas entitled "The Pacific Coast
and toe World. IS contains large maps
of the California counties, indicating all
the towns and villages, - with the com
plete railr.iad system of the state now iu op
eration. Thera are hue maps of San Fran-
ciscn, Oakland, sacrementn, San Jose, Lo
Angeles aud San Diego. The maps of Ore -
gnn and Washington are also in accordance
with the latest lutormation obtainable trom
oiiicial sources. Maps of the other states
and territories are brought down to date.
Over fifty maps and plans of large cities
in all parts of the world are oi special value
to travelers who may prepare themsslves to
feel at home ou entering a municipality for
the first tune. Considerable money may
thus be saved. Much information is giveu
as to the history, settlement, productions
and climate of the 1'acibc coast states. JNo
portion of the globe is neglected, and the
entire n amber of plsus and maps exceeds
340. The volume includes many pages of
descriptive matter, suitably illustrated, and
a complete gazetcer showing all the cities,
towns, villages and postofhecs in . the
United States.
There are numerous diagrams indicating I
the forest area, homestead land, animals, 1
vegetable and mineral productions, principal i
exports and increase of population in the
racihe coast states; also many other inter-
erting particulars of this section. Ihe
"chronology of history" will be found in
structive; likewise the history of astron
omical science, and magnificent Star map.
A very accurate map of the rugged lunar
sarface will be found in the same depart
ment. ' Toe 432 pages of the large folio vol
ume are ue.it specimens of typographical

work to a place in the hoitie library; as well
as the school-room and the counting-house
THE SPY OF GETTYSBURG
The average war play is objectionable in
many respects. sometimes battle scenes
are introduced, which are always very diffi
cult and usually ridiculous; the unity of im
pression is frequently broken by the aimless
shifting of scenes; the characters too often
waste time in patriotic speeches talking
instead of acting-aml in many cases these
so-called war dramas are written without
the authors posessing auy knowledge of
military matters. The "Spy of Gettysburg"
is happily free from all these faults. The
action is sharp and decisive; the author's
thorough acquaintance with military tactics,
and his cartful study of the momentious
r.ggle at Gettysburg have enabled him to
draw a clear and accurate picture, depicting
life as it was in tha exciting days of 'C3.
This highly entertaining drama ' has been
strongly cast, Some of our best home tat
ent taking part. The play has been under
rehersal for some time and it is snfe to predict
that it will be performed in an artistic man
ner. It is the intentioti of the young peo.
pie to produce the play about May 5th.
