C. H. King, Water Valley, Miss., cued by
Ayer's Sarsaparilla
"For Ave years, I suffered untold misery
from muscular rheumatism. I tried every
known remedy, consulted the best physi
cians, visited Hot Springs, Ark., three times,
spending $1000 there, liesides doctors' bills;
but could obtain only temporary relief. My
flesh was wasted away so that I weighed
only ninety-three pounds; my left arm and
leg were drawn out of shape, the muscles
tielng twisted up In knots. I was unable to
dress myself, except with assistance, and
-could only hobble about by using a cane. I
Tiad no appetite, and was assured, by the
.doctors, that I could not live. The pains, at
times, were so awful, that I could procure
relief only by means of hypodermic injec
tions of morphine. I had my limbs bandaged
in clay, in sulphur, in poultices; but these
gave only temporary relief. After trying
everything, and suffering the most awful
tortures, 1 beg'in to take Ayer's Sursaparilla.
Inside of two months, I was -able to walk
without a cane. In three months, my limbs
began to.strengthen, and in the course of a
year, I was cured. My weight has increased
to 1G5 pounds, and 1 am now able to do my
full day's work as a railroad blacksmith."

3.YEX'S PII.L& row Headache,
COL. E. D.
BAKER.
Resume of the Life of the Cltlxen, Sol
dier, Statesman and Poet.
The address of Mr. Beeknian of Port
land at the Congregational church last
evening partook more of the character of
an eulogy than a lecture, and was a moat
graceful and comprehensive tribute to
the) memory of Oregon's greatest man
cotemporaneous with Sis time Col.
Edward Dickinson Baker. The lecturer
followed Ills hiatory minutely from the
craaie io tne grave, aaorning iue way
with flowers of rhetoric, fulsome praise
and poetical allusions, all inspired by
the magnificence of manhood of the sub
ject under discussion. Since the life of
Col. Baker is not so generally known as
-it should be, we shall attempt a review
-of Mr. Beekman's lecture, rather than a
-description of its excellence.
Col. E. D. Baker was' horn in London,
Eng., Feb. 24, 1811. His father before
Am was a soldier. orator, statesman and
-patriot, and his mother was a sister of
one of the heroes of Trafalgar. Baker
early developed a ravenous appetite for
books. While he was quite young the
family moved across the water and set
tled in Philadelphia, where under the
influence of a patriotic environment, a
martial spirit was developed, ' which
later in life gave him eminence as a sol
dier. In 1825 the family moved to
Belleville, 111. where Baker's unusually
bright mind attracted the attention of
Gov. Edwards, who gave the boy the
privilege of his vast and well-selected
library. His memory was like wax to
receive and marble to retain. Later be'
log compelled to seek employment, he
went to St. Louis, where he drove a
dray; but in a short time returned to
Illinois, taking up the study of law,
April 27, 1831, he was married to Mrs,
. Mary A. Lee, a widow ) with two chil
dren. Four children were born as the
fruits of this onion, which proved a
long and happy one. In 1832 'he en
listed as a private in the Black Hawk
war, where he served with distinction
Afterwards be moved to Springfield, 111.,
and re-commenced the study of law
At that time SpringGeld was a center of
anusual legal ability. No less (ban five
great lawyers . practiced . at the bar,
among mem Lincoln, uougias ana
Trumbull, and in such an atmosphere
Baker grew and broadened and became
a learned and profound advocate him;
self, his reputation as a criminal law
' yer attaining wide renown. - His elo-
' quence was irresistible. In 1842 he was
elected state senator. An interesting
anecdote was related, in regard to Baker
who in a speech, took occasion - to ad
minister a general rebuke to the land
offices of the country, and stating that
' wherever there was a land office there
was a Democratic newspaper to wink at
their corruption. Abraham Lincoln was
'overhead stretched on the floor looking
down at the speaker through a trap
door in the ceiling. A Democratic
editor, impatient at the tirade of Baker,
arose and began a disturbance, which
began to assume proportions of a riot
. Baker was about to suffer, violence, when
Lincoln swung himself down through
the hole above, seized a water pitcher,
and threatened to fell the first man who
laid violent hands on Baker, and re
minding them that this was a country of
free speech, and be would defend that
principle at any time 'yith his life if
necessary. No one seemed to want to
try conclusions with Lincoln, whose
great strength' was a matter of notoriety,
and Baker resumed his speech more
scathing than before, and was uninter
rupted to the end. . . . , r
In 1845 Baker was sent to congress and
was a-colleague of Stephen A. Douglas.
The principal question' of- that .congress
was the Oregon boundary question, and
thus long before he was a resident of
Oregon he was fighting in' its interest.
He made a speech in congress on the
Monroe doctrine, remarkable for its
vigor and patriotism. Col. Baker served
in the Mexican war, fighting with all his
wonderful ardor in the two greatest
battles of that campaign. On July 10th,
1850, he delivered the funeral eulogy on
President Taylor, which is regarded as a
masterpiece.' In 1851 he became in
terested in the Panama enterprise across
the isthmus, and in 1852 moved to San
Francisco. In I860 he removed to Ore
gon, where he was elected to the' U. S.
senate. He had the honor of introduc
ing Abraham Lincoln at the inaugura
tion ceremony. At the outbreak of the
civil war Col. Baker engaged in the ser
vice of the Union army, and served as
soldier and statesman at the same time,
March 4th, 1861, he made his famous
reply to Col. Breckinridge of Kentucky
Breckinridge was engaged in making a
treasonable speech in the IT. S. senate,
when Baker walked in in his military
garb, laying his sword on his desk -be
fore him. At the conclusion of Breckin
ridge's speech, . Baker arose and made
one of the most masterly arraignments
ever delivered in the U. S. senate. Mr,
Blaine commented on it at length in bis
work "Twenty Years in Congress." On
October 21st, he fell at Ball's Bluff. He
has been called "the old gray eagle of
Republicanism," and "the Prince Ru
pert of Battle and Debate."
The speaker was introduced by Mr. D.
H. Roberts. This ends the winter course
of lectures at the Congregational church,
which has proven a very pleasant and
profitable feature of the season to those
who have regularly attended.
