CANCER CURED
AND A
LIFE SAVED
By the Persistent Use of
Ayer's Sarsaparilla
"I was .troubled for years with a
sore on my knee, which .several
physicians, who treated me, called a
ancer, assuring me that nothing
ould be done to save my life. As
a last resort, I was induced to try
Ayer's Sarsaiarill;i, and, after tak
ing a number of bottles, the sore
.
began to disappear and my general
health improve, 1 persisted in this
treatment, until the sore was en
tirely healed. Since then, I use
Ayer's Sarsaparilla occasionally as
a tonic and blood-purifier, and, in
deed, it seems as though I cpidd not
keep house without it." Mrs. S. A.
Fields, Bloomfield, la.

Rev. I. H. Hazel preached another
eermon from his series on Revelations
last evening, the topic being "God's
Vengeance Against Pagan Rome." He
explained the meaning of the symbols
used in the fifth aDd sixth seals, and the
fulfillment of the prophecy by the con
quest of arms of,Gonstantine the Great
over the pagan world, which established
Christianity on a firm foundation in the
year 324.
Rev. J. H. Wood, at the Methodist
church, took for his morning text "The
Curse of the World and Its Cure."
This curse he comprehensively denom
inated :aa sin, and 'gave a very realistic
picture of its prevalence every where in
every human mind, in every society,
in every political platform, in every
church. He illustrated its insidious ap
proach by a gigantic wisteria vine in
"Norwich, Conn., possibly the largest in
world. Overa foot in diameter at the
base, it divided into two branches.
One of them covered the front of a resi
dence, the other divided into four
branches and ran up into a gigantic oak
tree, which it beautified and was beau
tified by. After a time the tree lan
guished and died, and it was discovered
the vine had cut into the bark of the
oak by its tenacious folds, constricting
the tree and finally killing it. Sin en
ters jhuman life by very slight infrac
tions, but always retaining what it gains,
steadily increases its hold. Sin is also
deceitful in offering rewards which it
never makes good. The youth is at
tracted by its apparent pleasures and by
ambition, but which fail of realization.
The cure of sin the speaker found in the
Bcriptural text: "Behold the lamb of
God, which taketh away the sin of the
world," referring to the sacrifice of
.Jesus Christ on the cross. The spilling
-of blood was necessary to cleanse from

The theme of Rev. W. C. Curtis'
"morning sermon was "The Tribe of Do-as-yoa-likea."
The discourse was rad
ically different in character from any
-.preceding, and was a surprise to even
vthe regular attendants of the Congrega
tional church, to whom surprises are no
longer a novelty. The sermon of yester
day dealt largely in allegory, being ap
parently prepared to please the chil
"dren, but it was evident the older ones
were interested. The morals and pre
cepts were woven around a story of a
-chimney sweep, who had left his master
and wandering away, fell asleep by a
running brook. While asleep he fell
in the water and became transformed
into a water baby. He was taken in
charge by two beautiful fairies, named
"Do-a6-you-would-be-done-by," and
"Be-done-by-as-you-did." The latter
took the new charge under instruction
and read a book to him containing the
history of a tribe called "Do-as-you
please," portraying the life of a people
without ambition, care or strife, and
who take matters as they ' find them,
"and this tribe,,' said the speaker, "may
be found anywhere from Second street to
the bluff."
An Up-to-Date Affair.
Saturday evening there was a most
thoroughly surprieed portion of this
town, namely, in the region of the cor
ner of Ninth and Union streets. All
was quiet and serene as usual in that
well-behaved quarter of the city at 8 :30
o'clock, but a few minutes later it
seemed to the neighborhood as if Pan
demonium was turned loose. In this
case Pandemonium was led by JuddFisb,
who waved the Umatilla House dinner
bell frantically wr h his right hand,
while his left vigorously pulled the door
bell of the residence of Mr. H. Glenn.
To the rear'of Judd was stationed W. H.
Hobson, playing '.'Her Golden Hair
Was Hanging Down Her Back," on a
sweet-toned coal oil can. Mrs. Briggs
made Rome (also The Dalles) howl with
a No. 2 cow bell, possessing a fog-horn
voice and was accompanied in her good
work by Mrs. Bradshaw with a No. 3
cow bell. " Their duet would have
brought crocodile tears to the eyes of a
buffalo. During this time Mr. Biiggs
was nobly manipulating a half-dozen
bunches of fire crackers. While Mrs.
Fish and Mrs. Wilson were endeavoring
to get the npper hand of a couple of fog
horns, Mrs. Hobson and Mrs. Peters
were so overcome with laughter as to be
unable to add anything to this charm
ing (and hearty) serenade. It would
have been a picture fit for a Paris salon
could Judge Bradshaw have been trans
ferred to canvas just then, as he was
beating the spots out of a large-sized
coal oil can, with a still larger-eized
stick of stove wood.
When the inmates of the house had
caught their breath sufficiently to open
the door, the merry serenade were in
vited in, and then began one ot the jolli
est evenings ever spent in The Dalles.
The time was passed in whist and char
ades, until supper was announced in the
dining-room, and such a supper! The
table groaned, and Judd has groaned
ever since.
It was with regret that those present
finally realized it would soon be another
day, and wended their way home, tired
out wit laughter.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a consti
tutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, -acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the foun
dation of the disease, and giviDg the
patient strength by building up the con
stitution and assisting nature in doing
its work. The proprietors have eo much

that it fails to cure. Send for list of

It is a big thing to say but neverthel
ess true, that a great multitpde of peo
ple have crowned Simmons Liver Regu
lator, the "King of Liver Medicines."
There is nothing like it for Malaria,
Rheumatism, Chills and Fever, Consti
pation, Biliousness, Sick Headache, In
digeston and all troubles arising from a
sluggish or diseased liver. Simmons
Liver Regulator is the prevention and
cure for these ailments.
If there is any one thing that need
to be purified, it is politics, so the re
former says, and many agree thereto.
But blood tells, and as a blood purifier
and liver corrector Simmons Liver Reg
ulator is the best medicine. "I use it in
preference to any oher." So wrote Mr.
S. H. Hysell, of Middleport, Ohio. And
Dr. D. 8. Russell, of Farmville, Va.,
writes; Vlt fulfills all yon promise for it,"
"Give me a liver regulator and I can
regulate the world," said a genius. The
