CANCER CUREO
AND A
LIFE SAVED
By the Persistent Use of
Ayer's Sarsaparilla
"I was troubled for years with a
sore on my knee, which several
physicians, who treated me, called a
cancer, assuring me that nothing
could be done to save my life. As
a last resort, I was induced to try
Ayer's .Sarsaparilla, and, after tak
ing a nunib.'r of bottles, the sore
began jto disappear anl my general
health improve. I persisted in this
treatment, until the sore was en
tirely healed. Since then) I use
Ayer's Sarsaparilhi occasionally as
a tonic and blood-purifier, and, in
deed, it seems as though I could not
keep house without it." Mrs. S. A.
Fields, Bloomfield, Ta.

Awoke In Time.
but lie
Victob, Or., Sept. 28, 1896.
Mister . Editor : I have been a
regular subscriber to your paper every
eince it started and always liked it first
rate, 'till this silver question came up.
Then for sure I didn't like it a bit. You
see, when they first begun to talk free
silver, it stuck me just where I lived.
At least I thought it did. You see I
have always found silver a mighty good
money. I never could get half enough
of it. So it just seemed to me that if
they would just go ahead and make it
free I'd be the happiest man alive, but
that's all changed now. I've had a
vision a real vision. - It came about
this way. I put in tbe day last Wednes
day diggin taters, worked from daylight
'till dusk as hard as ever I could, ate a
big mess of salmon for supper, then
went to bed ; but instead of sleeping I
dreamed. I'd been thinking about sil
ver all day, so I dreamed about taters
and silver all nigbt. V
I dreamed that there was a very tall
smooth-looking man came along and
offered to by my taters. Said he would
give me a dollar a bushel' if I'd take the
money he had, so I axed him what kind
of money he had. He said, real pleas
ant like, I have some notes of band due,
one day after date, and signed by Col.
Sinnott, of The Dalles, Or. Now I've
known the colonel fr a long time, but I
didn't know that he ever gave his note.
Still I thought that this is aU right.
Jnd sent this fellow out to by truk for
the hotel and didn't want to send tbe
money by this chap. So I spoke up and
said : "All right, mister, I'll take the
notes. They are as good as gold to me.
How many taters do you want?" He
eaid he'd take all I had. ( So me and the
boys lit into weighen' em as fast as we
could, while the tall man sat there on
the fence keepin' tall'. When we got
through be counted it up and there
were sixty bushels. So he put bis
brand on the sacks and handed me
twelve $5 notes, each' signed by Col.
Sinnott. My, didn't I feel rich. Won
der I didn't wake up, I felt so good ; but
I didn't, I dreamed on. Dreamed that
I went to The Dalles next day and took
the notes to Colonel to cash. When I
got to the Umatilla house it seemed to
me that everything looked kinder dis
erted and broke up like. After waitiu' a
god while the colonel came in, ehuk
hands as usual, but I .noticed that he
looked kinder disturbed like. , After ex
cbangin' tbe.time of day, etc., I men
tioned the notes and later deal, thank
ing him tor the good price I had re
ceived. Bat he stopped me short off
and said: ."My friend you have made
a sad mistake. Those notes are not
worth the paper they are written on.
am bankrupt." Now I've known the
Colonel long enough to know that he
can joke when he wants to, so I laughed
and said ; "That's all right, lets go and
take a little wine." "Hold on," says
the Colonel, "you mistake, I am serious.
I haven't a cent to my name." I saw
from his looks that he was in earnest,
so without my asking he told me all
about it. Says he : "You remember
that historical fish story of mine?"
"Oh yes," says I.
"Well," says he, "I told it one time
to my sorrow, yes, I may say, to my
utter ruin.- When Bryan was through
here two years ago I told it to bim.
His admirers here have felt pretty sore
about it tor some time and finally in
duced the city council to pass an ordi
nance compelling me to sign $5 notes
due one day after date to whosoever
could furnish the paper, and to continue
signing as long as paper conld be se
cured. Tbe upshot of the whole matter
was, Jacobsen landed here tbe day after
the ordinance passed with about a ton
of paper all filled out with my signature.
I redeemed them as long as my wealth
lasted. You are too late."
I tried to offer some consolation, but
failed. Says I: "Colonel, seems tome
the council have treated you ' very un
farely," "Yes," says he, "so they
have. Still you silver lunatics propose
to give Uncle Sam a dose of tbe same
kind of medicine." -
Just then the old woman nudged me
in the ribs, and said: "Wake up, John,
it's gittin' daylight a'nd I do believe them
taters you dug yesterday got frost bit
last night.' "Ta'ers be dinged," says
I. ' But then I got up right quick and
raadd the' fire, while the old woman
growled about the taters being left on
covered over night.. But say, Mister
Editor, I'm done with free silver. That
dream opened my eyes. How is Uncle
Sam goin' to make all of the silver dol
lars as good as gold unless he has the
power to say how many to make. .You
were all right at first Mister Editor,
only I was too punkin'-headed to see it.
Send the paper right along to yours
truly,' ' -. - - "Mossback."
First Iady to Make tbe Trip.
F. H. Kearney and wife have returned
from a bicvele tour, which gained for
4
Mrs. Kearney tbe distinction of being
the first lady who has ever ridden across i
the sand wastes between Pendleton and
Tbe Dalles. It was all due to her own
ingenuity that she was enabled to make
the trip easily and arrived in The Dalles
not much fatigued. Mr., and Mrs.
Kearney left Pendleton a month ago'and
arrived homo a few days ago. They '
rode 800 miles on their wheels. From
The Dalles thev went to Portland on the
boat and and then took wheels again for
a tour through the valley, visiting Salem
and several towns along the roid.
On the way to The Dalles, Mrs.
Kearney noticed that the tires of . her
bicycle cut into the sand so us to make
it probable that she could not stand the
trip. She suggested to Mr. Kearney
that some of l In- u ind be let out of tbe
tires, and after a iiule experimentation,
both adopted the expedient and 'with
"fiat tires," and wheels running almost
on their runs thev made the journey
over the Band desert with ease and
speed! East Oregou:.;n.
The Free Coinage Problem.
The Free Coinage Problem is the
title of a penny magazine or pamphlet
by Lewis N. Dembitz of Louisville, Ky.
It contains one of the fairest and best
discussions of the money question to be
had at any price. It contains in very
brief space and in simple language as
much of the early history of money,
especially in this country, as is neces
sary to understand the present situa
tion. It discusses in a logical, unbiased
and impartial manner the probable ef
fects of the proposed free coinage legis
lation upon all classes, and especially
tipon farmers and wage earners. It pre
sents a vivid picture of tbe present hard
lot of many farmers and shows what
kind of money will be for their best in
terests. This little 48 page magazine contains
more of monetary history and facts and
more of sound argument than - many
books which cost 100 times its price. It
makes it possible for any intelligent la
borer or farmer who can spare 1 cent to
become well informed on the money
question before he casts his vote. Ten
or 15 copies can be ordered at .once for
10 or 15 persons. Otherwise it will cost
2 cents to send 1 cent. Address Present
