TURNING GRAY AND THREATENED . WITH BALDNESS The Danger is Averted by Using : mte hair VIGOR "Nearly forty years ago, after gome weeks of sickness, my hair turned gray and began falling out go rapidly that I was threatened ' with immediate baldness. Hearing Ayer's Hair Vigor highly spoken of, I commenced using this prepara- tion, and was so well satisfied with the result that I have never tried nny 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 goodv natural color. I never hesitate to recommend any of Ayer's medicines to my friends." Mrs. II. M. IIaigiit, Avoca,iNeb. Acer's ' Hair Vigor TKKl'Alil.D UY DR. J. C. AVER & CO., LOWELL, E!ASS., U. S. A. Ayer's Sarsaparilla JZemavea J'itHjtlee THE TEMPERANCE CONVENTION Thursday Afternoon' Work Election of Officer W. M. Shank Grand Chief Templar. THURSDAY. The afternoon was spent in listening to the reports from the lodges repre sented at the grand lodge. These proved very interesting, as they showed in the same general way the trials and discouragements as well as the helpB and encouragements experienced by all; and though a place may be peculiar, yet those things thought to be peculiar to one place are found to exist in many others. The committee on grand lodge of Oregon urged the issuing a paper that should be a medium of communication between the lodges and members. A plan was proposed whereby a paper of this kind could be published monthly at a very low price to each member, and if all took hold and helped it could be made a success. The committee recom mended the appointment of a committee to further investigate the matter, and if thought advisable by the committee, to go ahead with the publication. The committee on finance completed their work and reported finding every thing as regards the secretary and treas urer's bonds in proper shape. They recommended that the per capita tax remain at the present price of 15 cents per member. This point caused a long debate, but the recommendation was ' finally adopted. It is the wish of the grand lodge that one or more lecturers be kept in the field all the time, to work for the cause of temperance and organize lodges where it can be done. EVENING. Daring the evening the election of grand lodge officers occupied the time, and it was a late- hour before this work was completed. The result is as follows : G. C. T., W. M.' Shank, of Canby; G. V. T., Eva Bryant, ot Snnnyview ; G. S.f H. S. Hurst, of Aurora; G. S. J. T., Mrs. J. E. Barnett, of The Dalles ; G. Coun., W. L. Blackwell, of Rainier ; G. Treas., W. D. Markham, of Forest Grove. ' A Boundless Supply of Good Water Under Vs. Encouraged by the splendid flow of water etrnck by the well-drillers at the electric light house, the Diamond flour mills will commence drilling Monday, the purpose of which is purely to supply the mills with water and if . they strike the same supply will be well satisfied. In this instance the water rose to within nine feet of the surface, and a powerful steam pump, working for an hour failed to lower the water a Bingle inch. The well driller has plenty of work in sight for all sum mer, tor others are talking strongly of boring for either water or coal. After a bole is bored at the flour mills, the drill ing apparatus will probably be removed to the hill east of. the fair grounds, where it is thought from the unbroken formations flowing water may be struck. The water found is soft, pure and sweet and is of even better quality than that supplied by our excellent water system. GAVE THE FISH A JAG. This Is One Way of llelng Entertaining; - In California. 'Did you ever see drunken fisK?" in quired a Sonoma county wine grower. No one would confess that he had neen intoxicated fish, and the silence" in dicated a predisposition to incredulity, says a writer in the San Francisco Post. "I suppose you are going to tell us about a drunken , catfish staggering down through the orchard and catch ing a bird?" suggested one. "Do you think I am a liar?" demand ed the farmer, indignantly, but he was left in ignorance as to the belief of his hearers. "My winery is right on the bank of a little creek. This time of the year the water stands in pools and every pool is full of trout, suckers -and pike. All of the waste from the winery is thrown into the creek, and that is enough to discolor the water, but the other day a big vat of sour claret burst and nearly .all of it ran down into the hole of water just below tihe winery. In half an hour the pool was crowded with fish floating belly up. T thought they were dead, and pulled a big pike out, but he wiggled and flopped around just like an old drunk trying to get up without anything to hold on to. One by one they disappeared as they so bered up, and when the wrater cleared two days afterward there wasn't a dead fish in the pool. They had just been jagged." . . . , . : j One of Maine's Widows. t There is now living in Hartland, Me., at the ripe old age of 75 years, one 'of Maine's notable widows. This is Mrs. Ellen Phillips, relict of George, a brother of Wendell Phillips. Her hus band was a graduate from Harvard col lege, a member of the famous class of '28, among his classmates and intimate friends being Dr. O. W. Holmes and James Freeman Clark. Mrs. Phillips has in her house several antique relics of great interest and historical value, among them beng a marble top table and drawer which belonged to John Brown, of Harper's Ferry fame, and a copper ewer and- sideloard, once the property of John Phillips,, the first mayor of the city of Boston. She tells many an interesting reminiscence of Wendell Phillips, with whom she was intimately acquainted. . The Great Jennings Estate. Patriotic citizens of Minnesota who have been led to consider themselves heirs to "the great Jennings estate" of Kngland, are still waiting patiently for the enormous shipment of bullion from the , Bank of England's vaults, which will soon put our circulation on an im movable gold basis. St. Paul has the craze badly, nearly $150,000 having been collected in that city alone for "costs" in the last few years. The collection of this has been in the hands of a regular stock company in Philadelphia, and has proved such a good thing that an other - company has been formed in Minneapolis as a competitor.
