A Tragic Death
The news thata man had been found
dead on the Ashland—Klamath Falls
road caused considerable of a sensa
tion, as it was at first supposed to be a
case of foul play.
It proved to be Robert Heston, a
man about 60 years of age, who met
with a lonely death in the Cascade
mountains, sixteen miles east of Ash
land, Thursday or Friday,while travel
ing a foot, with a small bundle, en
route from Klamath Falls to Portland.
His body was found, Saturday morn
ing, by R. O. Eddy, who carries the
mail tri weekly from Shake to Soda
Springs. It was lying in the road on
top of two or three feet of snow, face
downward and resting upon tbe arm.
By order of Coroner Picket the body
was brought to Ashland, horseback,by
H. C. Stock, where it is being held to
await instructions from tbe deceased
man’s brother, who lives at, Dairy,
Klamath county. No inquest was
deemed necessary.
He is Sadder but Wiser.

Life Guards
The Life Guards are two regiments
of cavlary forming part <»f the British
household troops. They are gallant
'Oldlers, and every loyal British heart
is proud of them. Not only the
King's household, but yours, ours,
everybody’s, should have its life
guards. The need of them is espec
ially great when the greatest foes of
life, diseases, find allies in the very
elements, as colds, intiuenza, catarrh,
the grip, and pneumonia do in the
stormy month of March. Tbe best
way we know of t) guard against
these diseases is to strengthen tbe
system with Hood’s Sarsaparilla—the
greatest of all life guards. It removes
the conditions in which th^se diseases
make their most successful attack,
gives vigor and tone to all the vital
organs and functions, and imparts a
genial warmth to tbe blood. Remem
ber the weaker the system the great
er the ex;>osure to disease. Hood’s
Sarsaparilla makes the system strong.
Is there not in the merger decision a
rebuke for New Jersey? Lawyers
“paid by the year” sought to show
that smashing the merger would in
fringe tbe rights of states to charter
corporations. The court held that no
state may charter companies to
do forbidden things, New Jersey
has been a pirate among the
states. She has issued letters of marque
to practically all the freebooters
that skim tbe financial sens and to
some that have sunk beneath them.
New Jersey taxpayers profit by pirates’
charter fees in the state treasury.
What is to be done about New Jersey,

WEEDS
Consumption is a human
weed flourishing best in weal]
lungs. Like other weeds it’s
easily destroyed while young I
when old, sometimes* imj
possible.
Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and thd
weeds will disappear.
The best lung fertilizer ij
Scott’s Emulsion. Salt porti
is good too, but it is very hard
to digest
The time to treat consumpl
tion is when you begin tryind
to hide it from yoursdfl
Others see it, you won’t /
Don’t wait until you can’|
deceive yourself any longed
Begin with the first though!
to take Scott’s Emulsion, il
it isn’t really consumption sd
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be Setter for thd
treatment. If it is consumpl
tion you can’t expect to bd
cured at once, but if you will
begin in time and will bd
rigidly regular in your tread
ment you will win.
Scott’s Emulsion, fresh aid
