AYER'S
Cherry-
Pectoral
A PREACHER'S EXPERIENCE.
"Three months ago, I took a vio
lent cold which resulted in an attack
of acute bronchitis. I put myself
under medical treatment, and at the
end of two months was no better.
I found it very difficult to preach,
and concluded to try Ayer's Cherry
Pectoral. The first bottle gave me
great relief ; the second, which I am
now taking, has relieved me almost
entirely of all unpleasant symptoms,
and I feel sure that one or two bot
tles more will effect a permanent
cure. To all ministers suffering from
throat troubles, I recommend Ayer's
Cherry Pectoral." E. M. Brawley,

Skinning the Coon.
The Dalles, Feb. 15, 1896.
To the Editor :
I have read Representative Coon'e
communication in your issue of the 12th
instant wondering, the while, if it could,
possibly, have emanated from the quiet,
unassuming young man helped to
elect to his first term in the Oregon
legislature. My! what a rich vocabu
lary of Leasean, Tillman, Populistico
rhetoric he has acquired since then
What a preternatural inBtinct for nosing
out "rings," "gangs" and "combines!"
Nay, -what supernatural vision for dis
covering the shining eagle9 drop reson
ant int" the upturned palms of "the
yelping bloodhounds of the hireling
press." Lucky it is, my countrymen,
that hard words break no bones, else
the osseus fabric of these "yelping
bloodhounds" would be ground by this
voung Hurcules into dust impalpable as
the stuff that dreams are made of.
What is Mr. Coon driving at, any
way? Is his letter a vindicution ot him
self and the other twenty-nine "legisla
tive highwaymen?"' Alas! they are nn
happy, indeed, both in the vindicator
and the thing vindicated. Was there
not a caucus? Wag not Mr. Coon not
to speak of the other twenty-nine a
member of that caucus? Did he not
pledge himself over his own signature,
in palpable black and white, to enter
that caucus and abide by its decision?
Nay, back of all this, did he not repeat
edly avow to his constituents, while
the campaign waa pending, that he
would support Mr. Dolph because he be
lieved that gentleman was the choice
of his constituents? Nay, back of all
this still, was not the campaign of 1894
a battle-royal between the economic and
financial theories of Dolph-Republican
ism and the outlawry, free trade and
free silver heresies of Pennover-Popu
Jiem? And when the latter was hurled
-to the limbo beside the moon was n"ot
Senator Dolph, morally, as much en
titled to reap the fruits of the victory,
by succeeding himBelf, as if bis name
bad been on the election ballots?
So acted and spoke Mr. Coon, and so
thought and expected all men, of every
shade of political opinion, everywhere,
from Maine to Oregon. Nay, so spoke
all men, everywhere, while the battle
was pending, and so was Mr. Coon sup
posed to sneak and hold, else he never
would have warmed a second seat in the
tjregon legislature. Jay, so ao nis con
stituents still speak and hold, so that it
is a perfectly safe prophecy that he will
never warm another.
What means, then, this sudden eruct
ation of accumulated bile? this angry,
frothy, jargon? this aimless recrimina
tion of Mr. Coon? "this whimpering as
of an infant that cannot speak what ails
it, but is in distress clearly in the in
wards of it, and eo must squall and
whimper continually, till its mother
take it and it get-r-to sleep?" Clearly
tne luture trouoies Mr. uoon no less
than the past. Nay, more ! For from
out the murky shadows rises the vision
of the legislative session of 1896. And
Oh! Horrors 1 Dolph is there. The same
old "icicle" that the "thirty highway
men" melted in 1894 to the beating of
Populiet torn toms and uproarious mu
sic from Jonathan Bourne's free silver
cornet band. And the same old "ring"
that "we give the most beautiful thresh
ing it ever received in Oregon." All
there. But Coon is not there, and the
"thirty highwaymen" are also conspicu
ous by their absence, and the righteous
soul of tb Hood Biver statesman trem
bles for the ark of God I But as the pri
mal digits ("thumps up") of the "Port
land ring-master," in the vision of Coon,
point vertical toward the gilded dome of
the capitol, the voice of the Hood River
statesman, solitary, thundering, pierces
the murky shadow To arms! "The
war is already begun. Are we cattle or
are we men?" Nay, Brother Coon,
speak for thyself. Men are generous,
and cattle, at least, negatively so. Nei
ther will conspire in secret StarChamber
of "Professional American Citizens" to
stab men in the dark! What then art
thou? As for us, some of us, at least,
are rren who believe that promises are
not like dicers oaths, made only to be
broken, and that when the heads of onr
representatives become so abnormally
swollen that they willfully ecorn the be
hests of their constituents, it is time to
sequester them in' perpetuity to their
primeval strawberry patch. For the
rest, an infinitely worse calamity might
befall the commonwealth than the elec
tion of Dolph. The nation would, in
that event, have one "highwayman"
less in the national senate no trifling
consideration at this particular junct
ure the republican party an able expo
nent - and unflinching advocate of its
best thoughts and principles, and the
state a representative whom it has al
ready weighed in the balance of ex peri
ence and has not found wanting.

Whist Club f rlTolittes.
The whist club passed one of the most
pleasant evenings of the whole year at
Fraternity hall last evening, the hosts
being Mr. and Mre.W. H. Wilson. Mrs,
Hudson and Mrs. Bradshaw tied for
ladies' first prize and the fortunes of war
in the friendly contest for its possession,
inclined finally to Mrs. Hudson. Mr,
L. E. Crowe wen the gentleman's first
prize, and Mr. W. Lord the "booby."
The card playing was followed down
stairs by, an excellent banquet and suc
ceeded bv a dance.
An Boar With Mother Goose.
On Monday evening of next week an
entertainment will be given in Frater
nity hall by the Juveniles of the I. W.
Good Templars lodge. A great deal of
time has been devoted to this entertain
ment by the superintendent and chil
dren, and is more than worth the price
of admission. A cordial invitation is
extended to all people, old and young,
who wish to encourage children to take
an early stand for temperance. Price of
admission, 10 cents.

THE ONWARD flARCH
of Consumption is
stopped short by Dr.
Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery. If
you haven't , waited
beyond reason,
there's complete re
covery and cure.
Although by many
believed to be incur
able, there is the
evidence of hundreds
of living witnesses to
the fact- that, in all
- its earner stages, con
sumption is a curable
fi disease. Not every
case, but a large tier-
cenlage of cases, and
we Delieve, lully as
by Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery,
even after the disease has progressed so
far as to induce repeated bleedings from
the lungs, severe lingering cough with
copious expectoration (including tubercu
lar matter), great loss of flesh and extreme
emaciation and weakness.
Do you doubt that hundreds of such Cases
reported to us as cured by "Golden Med
ical Discovery " were genuine cases of that
dread and fatal disease ? You need not take
our word for it They have, in nearly every
instance, been so pronounced by the best
and most experienced home physicians,
who have no interest whatever in mis
representing them, and who were often
strongly prejudiced and advised against
a trial of "Golden Medical Discovery,"
but who have been forced to confess that
it surpasses, in curative power over this
fatal malady, all other medicines with
which they are acquainted. Nasty cod
liver oil and its filthy "emulsions" and
mixtures, had been tried in nearly all these
cases and had either utterly failed to bene
fit, or had only seemed to benefit a little for
a short time. Extract of malt, whiskey,
and various preparations of the hypophos.
phites had also been faithfully tried in vain.
The photographs of a large number of
those cured of consumption, bronchitis,
lingering coughs, asthma, chronic nasal
catarrh and kindred maladies, have been
skillfully reproduced in a book of i6b
pages which will be mailed to you, on re
ceipt oi" address and six cents in stamps.
You can then write those cured and learn
theirexperience. Address World's Dispen
sary Medical Association, Buffalo, N.Y.

Geo. W. Jenkins, editor of the Santa

various ailments of children said:
"When my children have croup there is
only one patent medicine T ever use, and
tfiac is Chamberlain's Co i-r.h Remedy
It possesses some medica properties
that relieve the little Biiffereio immedi
ately. It is, in my opinion, the best
cou i edicine in the market." If this
remedy is freely given as soon as the
croup cough appears it will prevent the
attack. It is also an ideal remedy for
whooping cough. There is no danger in
giving it to children, as it contains noth
ing injurious. For sale by Blakeley &
