McGraw's administration in Washing

two years $2,850,707.08 Oregon is ex

The Oregon problem having battled

Tho Mlsslnn Cailet Montgomery.
Russell Montgomery, son of Mr. J. B.
Montgomery of this city, who has beon
mourned as dead almost a year, is re
ported to have been seen very lately in
Cuba, as a lieutenant in the insurgent
army. He waB a naval cadet at An
napolis academy, and falling in his ex
amination the presumption was that he
committed suicide.
When tho news of his disappearance
reached his home both Mr. and Mrs.
Montgomery were prostrated. The best
detectives that could be found were at
once put upon the case, and for ten
months there has been no cessation of
effort among the searchers.
This information is conveyed in a let
ter from Virginia, written by an insur
gent officer who went homo for treat
ment of wounds he received in battle.
This letter is of very recent date, and
the writer claims to know young Mont
gomery very well. He says when he
last saw him he was in excellent health
and spirits. There is no reason to doubt
the report, as it is remembered thai the
cadet was ever enthusiastic in the cause
of Cuba libre. That he should have
made his way to the island and joined
the insurgents is regarded as highly
probable. Portland Telegram.

Danger of tliu Grip.
The greatest dangers from La Grippe
is of it resulting in pneumonia. If rea
sonable care is used, however, and
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is taken,
all danger will be avoided. Among the
tens of thousands who have used this
remedy for la grippe, wo have yet to
learn of a single case having resultod
in pnenmonia, which shows conclusively
that this remedy is a certain preventive
of that dread disease. It will affect a
Dermanent cure in less time than any
other treatment. The 25 and 50 cent
