CANCER CURED
AND A ' ' "
LIFE SAVED
By to Persistent Use of
Apr's Sarsaparilla
"I was troubled for years with a
sore on iny knee, which several
physicians, who treated mo, called a
cancer, iissuring me that nothing
could be done to save my life. As .
a last resort, I was induced to try
Ayer's !arsaiari!la, and, after tak
ing a 11 umber ot bottles, the sore
bepran to disappear and my pceneral
health improve, I persisted in this
treatment, until the sore Avas en
tirely healed. Since then, I use
Ayer's SarsapariU.-i rcasioiially as
a tonic and blood-purifier, and, in
deed, it seems as though I could not
keep house without it." Mrs. S. A.

Reception to Rev. Sktggi.
Tbe members of the Christian church
planned a very clever surprise for their
new pastor, Rev. A. D. Skaggs, and
family, at their church last' evening,
Arrangements had been made whereby
the pastor's family were to visit at the
borne of Geo. Miller on Eighth and Court
streets, thus making it necessary for
them to pass by the Christian cbnrcb in
so doing. On reaching tbe church, how
ever, the lights were suddenly turned
on, arousing the curiosity of Pastor
Skaggs, who, on entering the building,
was not a little surprised to discover the
cburch full of people, when the fact at
once dawned upon him tbat the congre
gation had "put up a job on him."
As soon as the pastor and family had
recovered their senses, a short program
was rendered, which was highly appre
ciated by all. The exercises were open
ed with a beautiful vocal duet by the
Misses Myrtle and . Retta Stone, fol
lowed by a solo from Miss Edna Rar-
AVER'-S
riett. -Mr. George Ernest Stewart was
called for and recited "Katie Lee and
Willie Gray" in his usual clever man
ner. ' He was also requested to give his
mirth-provoking reading, entitled "Mrs.
Byrde and the Masons," which was
highly appreciated .by tbe audience.
The church choir then rendered a vocal
selection, and Rev. Skaggs closed the
program with a few well-chosen remarks,
after which refreshments were an
nounced in the basement of the church,
whither the audience retired to enjoy a
bountiful luncheon and to indulge in
pleasant social intercourse, which con
tinued lor something over an hour. Ev
eryone seemed to ' be of the opinion that
it was an evening well spent, and high
ly testimonial of tbe esteem in which
Rev. Skaggs and family are held by the
citizens of Tbe Dalles.
Freucn Louis' Fate.
Last monday the startling intelligence
was brought to Canyon, says the News,
that the lifeless body of Louis Adams, or
"French Louis," had been discovered on
his ranch in Silvies valley, just across
the line in Harney county. Sunday
about noon the bovs of tbe Pacific Live
stock Co. were riding after cattle, when
they saw the Frenchman's team tied to
the fence with the harness on, and a
broken double-tree still attached to tbe
harness. Further search acroBS the
meadow revealed the man's lifeless body,
with his neck broken. It was thought
tbat his team ran away with the wagon
and that he was killed by being thrown
off as they crossed the irrigating ditch.
Louis quit herding sheep gome years
ago, and with xhe money that he had ac
cumulated by industry and thrift he
purchased the tract of land on Silvies
river known as the "Baccaroo ranch."
Louis lived on bis featile acres and made
his home there until tbe time of his
death. French Louis was a peculiar
character while be lived. He was kind
to those around him, and was never
known to oppress the poor. In all
kindness to his memory, tbe News re
lates tbat in life be loved the flowing
bowl, and tells the following incident:
On one occasion, Louis was -giving an
exhibition of fire-eating. He bad a
saucer full of brandy to which he had
touched a match, and it was blazing im
mensely while he partook of the blazes
by tbe. spoonful, when some fellow
poured kerosene into the saucer while
the fire wizard was looking in another
direction, and the next spoonful burned
his mouth and broke up the show. This
was merely an incident in the life of the
poor fellow, but it points to his socia
bility in this life.

Some months ago we sent one of our
pianos to Spokane, Wash. The party
who ordered it became involved in finan
cial difficulties and was unable to pur
chase it. We then transferred it to Mr.
I. C. Nickelsen of The Dalles, who
has been storing it for us during the last
few months. We do not wish the piano
re-shipped to us because that will in
volve a considerable expense of freights.
We are therefore willing to sell the
piano actually below cost. " The piano is
the best we manufacture, listed in our
catalogue at $1,200, retail price $640.
We offer it, with stool, scarf and lamp,
to anyone who will buy within the next
thirty days, for $275. This is an oppor
tunity to get a firet-claes piano at abso
lutely less than coat. Everyone who in
tends to buy a piano any time at all,
ought to see this instrument and con
sider this offer before making a pur
chase. The piano can be seen at I. C.
Nickelsen's at anv time. We have au
thorized Mr. Nickelsen to accept this
price for it.

None Bat Ayer at the World's Fair.
Ayer's Sarsaparilla enjoys the extra
ordinary distinction of having been the
only blood purifier allowed on exhibit at
the world's fair, Chicago. Manufact
urera of other earsaparillas sought by
every means to obtain a showing of their
goods, but they were all turned away
under tbe application of the rule for
bidding the entry of patent medicines
and nostrums. The decision of the
world's fair authorities in tavor of Ayer's
Sarsaparilla was in effect as follows :
"Ayer's Sarsaparilla is not a patent
medicine. It does not belong to the
list of nostrums. It is here on its
merits." . -
