mum in (imnm Volume VIII. Toledo, Lincoln County, Oregon, Friday, June 8, 1000. Number 14. A large audience was present at the courthouse last Friday night to listen to the remarks of J. D. Lee of Salem and WallisNash of Nash ville, this county. Mr. Lee is a logical reasoner, easy to follow, and made a good impression. Mr. Nash, being a recent convert to re publicanism, received close atten tion. His argument was clear and forceful on every poi.it touched upon. In him the administration has an able and earnest champion, and his remarks upon expanstou and "imperialism" were appre ciated. He also made a nice little talk in favet of the equal suffrage amendment, and it is worthy of note that the amendment carried in this precinct by a good majority, in the face of violeut and eloquent opposi tion. Call agaiu, Mr. Nash! Fred Thayer, who has been at tending the state university at Eu gene, arrived Sunday to spend the summer with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. 12. Thayer, and Dr. S. S. Thayer, his brother. Another brother, Charlie, arrived Monday from his home at The Dalles.

Mrs. Lester Dobson of Yaquina is up on business today. The Ladies Aid society served ice cream and cake in Toledo on election day. The alwavs nooular refreshments were appreciated, but in numerous cases were followed by disaster. Many of the partakers, especially the children, became very ill, and the local physicians were kept pretty busy that night and made many calls during the follow ing twenty-four hours. Some of the cases were quite serious, but all recovered. No blame is attached to the society, and it is the general opinion that the trouble was caused by the poisonous nature of some of the flavoring extracts used in the icecream. The local dealers are in no way to blame for that, but it would be a wise plan to place sam- pies of the extracts used in the hands of a chemist, and this will -i prooaoiy be done. The Leader is familiar with two other cases of ;,; this nature, and in both the cause was charged to poisonous flavoring extracts by reputable physicians. The members of The Ladies' Aid society deeply . regret the result of their effort to liquidate the debt against the church buildings, but are very thankful that it was 110 worse. E. G. Sharratt of Portland ar rived in Lincoln county on the 3d day of last September and was ten derly conveyed, by easy stages, to the Drift creek country, near Lin ville postoffice. Mr. Sharratt was at that time a very sick man, with the chances away against him, and he weighed but 98 pounds Yes terday, June 7, he came to Toledo. He tips the beam at 150 pounds, and doesn't look a little bit like a man who has been near death's door. Naturally, he is very enthu siastic over the result, and "The mountains of Lincoln county. Or egon, against the world!" is now his favorite declaration. Mr. Shar ratt went to Albany this morninc for a brief visit, after which he wiil return to his little paradise on Drift creek. He is a new mimhpr nf The Leader army. --. Glorious News Comes from Dr. P. I. Cnnrilo. r. Washita, I. T.
