A MOURNFUL DEATH.
Legend and history tell us of the
rise apd fall of empires and. of races.
Persia commancied the world, yet to
lay it is but a province. Macedonia
absorbed the territory surrounding
her like a mortgage, until her con
quering hosts swept across Asia, and
Alexander was master of the world.
Some sent her legions to the con
fines of the earth. The Saracens
swept up from the South, across the
Bosphorus, and planted the banner
of Mahomet, not only where it floats
toda3', but in the heart of Spain. At
tilla showed Europe the strength of
the barbarian hordes of Hungary, as
did Alaric. Spain ruled the seas, as
England does today.
Upon the decadence of one peo
ple, another became virile. Upon
the fall of one nation, another gath
ered and bound up the shattered
remnants for itself. Yet one hy one
each in turn went down, and of them
it may be said, as thousands of years
ago it was said of the ancient city,
"Troy was!" Greece rose to the
zenith as a comet, and fell almost as
quickly as it rose, when its head, Al
exander, died. Persia died of fatty
degeneration of the heart, Rome
lived to a ripe old age, continuing
her life as long as she was able to
digest what she swallowed, but finally
perished from over-eating. 'Tur
key's power waned, because her re-
ligion prevented her keeping 'pace !
with the strides of modern civiliza
tion. Attilla and Alaric were lead
ers of savages, and savages cannot
exist in the fight with advancement.
Atlantis, the fabled, died gloriously
in the height of her power, a victim
of a terrific convulsion of nature,
and Spain is moribund, toothless,
decrepit, querulous, senile, quarrel
ing with her children and with her
neighbors over them.
The last is the most mournful, and
at the same time the most trying to
the patience, of any end that could
come to her. But a few years and
her place among the nations of the
world will be but a story. She lin
gers long after the days of her use
fulness are over, a sore trial to her
children and an eyesore to their
friends. It is high time someone
kicked the bucket for her, and that
the last sad rites were performed.
THE WHEAT MARKET.
Most of the traders the world over ,
are evidently inclined to look for
high prices for some time to come.
They have become' accustomed to
seeing wheat in the 90s, and are in
clined to buy it on the weak spots,
in the same manner as they looked
for strong spots to sell it on in years
past. Old traders recall the time
when it was generally a sure thing to
buy wheat below 1. Up to the
time that India became an exporting
country, the bulls had no trouble in
buying wheat on the breaks, and
making good money on the bulges
that invariably followed a decline
below $1. It was the development
of wheat growing in countries south
of the equator that forced prices be
low fifty cents. It took" the trade a
long time to discover what the real
cause of the weakness abroad was
several years ago, as all their calcu
lations were out of line. Finally
they learned that Argentina had be
come a competitor with America in
European markets. It sold enough
at first in a quiet way to make the
American holders uneasy, and when
they discovered that wheat was be
ing bought in Argentina cheaper
than in America there was a steady j
decline that was only checked by the
over-selling by bears. Heavy carry
ing charges were paid, aDd the bull
was tiandicapped in such a way that
he was unable lo overcome it.
Now conditions have changed.
Countries south of the equator have
no surplus and are buying In America
to supply their wants until the first
of the j'ear. Even Russia gives
promise of havmg less surplus wheat
for export than in many years. This
leaves the condition of American
holders for the next four months the
strongest ever knowp. Commercial
Review.
Hon. C. B. Moores of Salem was
yesterday appointed register of the
land office at Oregon City in place
of Hon. T. T. Geer, who declined
the appointment as being several
sizes too small for him. Mr. Moores
will probably accept the place, and
do it gladly, and yet Mr. Moores is
perhaps as great a man, as good a
man. and as good a Republican as
Mr. Geer. . Both of the gentlemen
have been speaker of the house, in
the Oregon legislature, but Mr.
Moores has not been a presidential
elector. The truth is that Mr. Geer,
had lie been left to his cwn judg
ment, would have been satisfied with
(the appointment; but Mephistopheles
perched on his left shoulder and
whispered things into his sea shell
ears that he should not have listened
to, and he has formed a too exalted
opinion of himself therefrom. There
are other pebbles on the beach, other
dumplings in the stew. .

Sick stomach means sick man (or
woman).
Why not be well?
Sick stomach comes from poor food,
poor nourishment; means poor health,
poor comfort. Shaker Digestive Cordial
means health and a well Btomach.
If we could examine our stomach we
would understand why it is that so little
will put it out of order.
But, unless we are doctors, we never
see our stomach. We don't feel it. We
would feel it less if we took Shaker
Digestive Cordial.
Shaker Digestive Cordial makes your
stomach digest all the nourishing food
you eat, relieves all the symptoms of in
digestion, acts as a tonic and soon
makes you feel well and strong again.
The more you take, the less you feel
of your stomach.
