.-J TURNING GRAY , AND THREATEN ED WITH BALDNESS The Danger ia Averted by Using AVER'S HAIR VIGOR "Nearly forty years ago, after some weeks of sickness, my hair turned gray and began falling out bo rapidly that I was threatened with immediate baldness. Hearing Ayer's Hair Vigor highly spoken of, I commenced using this prepara- 4im tion, and was so well satisfied with the- result that I have never tried any other kind of dressing. It stop ped the hair from falling out, stimu lated a new growth of hair, and kept the scalp free from dandruff. Only an occasional application is now needed to keep my hair of good, natural color. I never hesitate to recommend anv of Ayer's medicines to my friends." Mrs. II. M. Uaigiit, AvoCa, 2Seb. Ayar's Hair Vigor PBFPARED I1V DR. J. C. AYER & CO., LOWELL, MASS., U. S. A. Ayer's Saraaparilla Itcinovea I'implcs A Populist Takes Exceptions. The Dalles, April 30, 1896. Editor Chronicle : Sib : I see in your paper of April 29th an article headed, "'Don't get scared. " If you will give me space in your paper ' I will give trie writer of the above article a few points. In the first place I will brand the article from first to last as false and written purposely .to mislead. He says : "We are - not getting ahead." He compares us uuto Abraham Lin- - coin's steamboat, that "when she tooted 'her whistle that she had no steam left to run her machinery." I .would eay that we require no steam, as we run our machinery by electricity, which is cre mated by our rapid mode of computation which is eo simple that even the foolish -cannot err therein. Therefore the masses fall in line with the thought, and keep up the inexhaustible supply, thereby making such rapid progress . that the inventor's perceptible faculty is not clear, and therefore cannot see the rapid progress that the Fopulist party is making in this state of Oregon and what is true, for Oregon is true to every . etate in this nation where the Populists are a party. Why, to convince the most skeptical, just take a spin through Wasco and Sherman counties, on the streets of The JJallee and otber counties and cities in this state, and he or any other person will soon begin to think that it ie fashion able to be a Fopulist. And everybody knows what it means to attempt to stop the strides of fashion until it has bad Its sway. Juat so with the Populist party, Nothing short of a complete victory and a full administration will ever appease the desire of the. Populist party in this state and nation. He says, "We are trying to convince Oregon voters. There is no convincing about it. .The seed has been sown, but not like other seed which has been sown broad cast, and hurled into foreign lands, and more to eternity. But it has fallen into good ground and has been properly drilled and cultivated, and we - are going , to reap a bountiful harvest. But don't ' get ' scared. We will measure out unto all a good, honest bushel. He .-also, charges os.witn. pay ing high prices for our speakers. Why, We have more speaking, then wo can handle. All - free truth makes every man free and the people are coming daily. -They are self-convinced. He eay s "If the Republicans vote .and dp their duty, they will have great nations." So say I. " But they will be Populist na tions, and don't you forget it. R. F. Wickham. ' Some Suggestions for Voters. Editor Chronicle : ; " ; . During the late county convention of the Populist party, it was observed that many of the spectators left-as soon as candidates for sheriff and clerk were ser lected. Why? Almost any intelligent citizen can name, the different candir dates for these two offices, while very few can name the other candidates. Does the weal of woe of the county de pend so much more upon - those offices that it is of little or no consequence who fill the other offiea in gift of the people? It seems to me that it will be well to in vite the attention of voters to tfce relai tive importance, of the offices and the qualifications needed by those that fill them. Th,e sheriff should be brave, cautious, courteous, honest and painstaking, and should understand enough of book keeping and clerical duties to keep the books of, bis office in good anfl correct form. Honesty , and thoroughness should be irrevocably linked . with econ omy in his office. His chief claim to a nomination should not be that he can control the votes of some cliqae, clan, or corrupt element of the body politic. The clerk need not be a capital horse racer nor billiard player, but be should be a first-class accountant and book keeper, firm, courteous and painstaking in all the minutiae of Lla duties, and both able and willing to build up and guard the interests of the people. Like the sheriff, he will be satisfied with a strictly honest and economical salary. The county judge should be a man of large experience, capable of understand ing law, a close financier, well ac quainted with the needs and resources of the county, very upright in all his dealings and fearless in enforcing the same conduct in the management of all county business. . His principal bone should be backbone. It 5 would hardly be putting it too Etrongly to say that he holds the most important office in the county. The qualifications of county commis sioners should not fall essentially below those of the judge. They should be capa ble of doing more than holding down their chairs, assenting to every decision of the judge, and drawing their salary. The prosperity of a county depends much more upon the judge and the com missioners than it does upon its sheriff and clerk. The former holds the purse strings and have it in their power to largely control all other county offices, and to so1 judicially expend the public money that taxpaying might be a pleas ure rather than a smarting burden. Law and business sense not custom should guide them. , Waeco county has plenty of capable men for these offices. Why is it that in competent men are so often nominated and sometimes elected to these places? If the qualified men are not patriotic enough to accept the office, let us nomi nate, and aleo elect, some of our army of energetic, patriotic school ma'ams. Two Peas. . Investigating Bible Truths. Rev. O. D. Taylor's sermon at the Baptist church yesterday morning was the first of a eeries of three, the subject being the duty of investigating the truths of the Bible. The second sermon will be upon the sources of such truths, and the third the truths themselves The sermon yesterday , proved the wis dom of investigating Scriptural truths, With all Iqgersoll's logic in antagonizing and disclaiming the God of the Bible, he gave expression at the grave - of his brother to a single sentence that over turned all his best-sustained efforts. He said : "Let ns hope that this is not all.' These Must Go at Once. A home with lot, worth $900 ; $750 takes it. Owner leaving city, and must sell.
