Be Was Driven by Frank Frazier, and
Ten Thousand People Saw Him
Go His Record.
Salem, Or., Oct. 6. Chehalia today
lowered the world'e record 3)4 seconds
for the two-oaile pace at the 6tate fair
track, in the presence of 10,000 people.
Chehalis, driven by his owner, Frank
Frazier, appeared on the track with his
full brother, Del Norte, who has a record
of 2 :08. Both horses were loudly cheered.
After scoring through the stretch a few
times, Del Norte withdrew. After scor
ing once, Frazier announced that he
was ready to start, and hundreds of
watches were held in readiness to re
cord hia attempt to make a world's
record.
Like a flash the black stallion was
down to the wire, and, almost before the
spectators could realize it, was on his
way, making the first turn, moving easily
and proudly. At the three-quarter pole
the runner Bonbonniere, ridden by Gal
braith, jumped in, but the Oregon pacer
needed no prompter. He reeled off the
first mile in 2:09 fiat.
"Too fast ; he'll not make it," was on
many tongues as the first mile was fin
ished. But his well-wishers breathed
easier when 3 :14 was called at the mile
and a half.
Thirty-one seconds more saw him at
the mile and three-quarters, and in the
face of a strong southwestern wind he
strode home gamely, creating a fresh
record bv passing under the wire in
When the time was announced, amid
prolonged cheers, Chehalis was crowned
'with wreaths of flowers, and led off the
track, looking but little worse for his
world-beating two-mile pace.
Chehalia' record by quarters was:
First mile.... 0:32 1 :05 1:37 2:09
Second mile. .2:39 3:14 3:45 4:19
The best previous .time for the two
mile pace was made by W. W. P. against
time at Lincoln, Neb., October 31, 1895.
W. W. P. made the distance in 4 :22.
On Friday, Chehalis will go against
John Staver, bicyclist, who has a record
of 2:02, best two in three heats. A
hurdle race of 14 miles will also be run
Friday.
This afternoon it was announced from
the grandstand that a certified check of
$10,000 would be put up to back the
challenge that Chehalis will go against
any horse in the world, best three in five
heats, that goes in hopples.

Havana Newspapers Comment Upon Sa-
gasta's Accession to Power..
Havana, Oct. 7. El Diario Marina,
organ of tbe reform party, commenting
on the new Spanish eabinet in its lead
ing editorial, says :
"The fall of the headless and discon-
cerned conservative party means a trans
ition from a dark night to a sunny day ;
it means a radical transformation of
methods. The list of ministers is a
clear indication that the platform of the
new cabinet is pure and logical auton
omy for Cnba. We have absolute con
fidence in a prompt re-establishment of
peace. The rise in Spanish securities in
Europe shows that the public in Spain
and abroad has great confidence in
Senor Sagasta's cabinet."
The Union Constitntional organ of the
conservative party, says :
"The change in the Spanish cabinet
is of minor importance, as all true
Spaniards must have the same patriot
ism in defending the high ideals of the
nation." .

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a consti
tutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh
Care is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood und mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the foun
dation of the disease, and giving the
patient strength by building up the con
stitution and assisting nature in doing
its work. The propnetors have so much
faith in its curative powers, that they
offer One Hundred Dollars for any case
that it fails to cure. Send for list of
testimonials. Address:

Fires Create Terrible Havoc on the
- Northsrn ISorder.-
Winsipeg, Oct. 7. The forest fires
that have been raging in Manitoba close
to the boundary line for the past ten
days have broken out more furiously
than ever. Ten 01 twelve persons are
reported to have been burned to death,
and the fire is rapidly spreading and
crossing the boundary into North Dako
ta. Settlers have been fighting the
flames for over a week trying to keep
them from getting into the more thickly
populated districts.
The flames are driving hundreds of
the wolves and coyotes into the open,
and flocks of geese and ducks have been
seen flying over the burning forests.
Near Whitemoutb, Hi L. Laundry, a
trapper, was burned to death
A German woman living in a small
house, near where the fire was the most
furious yesterday is reported to have
burned to death and her children are
missing.
A dispatch from Whitemoutb states
the fire is epreading rapidly. Several
settlers bad close calls for their lives. A
heavy wind drove ahead of it a mass of
smoke which blinded them, and a long
line of fiames which consumed every
thing in their path.
East of Whitemoutb. the situation is
very critical. The section foreman of
Darwin and his wifa and men were
picked up by a freight train and brought
to Whitemoutb. Koadmaster Horner,
on a handcar attempted to run from
Darwin with his men, but nearly suc
cumbed through suflocation, and was
compelled to take refuge in a passing
freight train.
All the telegraph poles for. several
miles east of the town are down and
trains are tied up.
A Broken Head, Manitoba dispatch
says the country is on fire there. On
both Bides of Broken Head river much
damage is being done. The smoke is so
thick that it is impossible to see twenty
yards, though there is no fire nearer
than a mile.
"I have never had a day's sickness in
life," aid a middle-aged man the other
day.
"What a comfort it would be," sighs
some poor invalid, "to be in his place
for a year or two." Yet half of the in
valids we see might be just as healthy
as he, if they would only take poorer
care of themselves, eat proper food
and digest it.
It's so strange that such simple things
are overlooked by those who want health.
Food makes health.
It makes strength and strength wards
off sickness. The man who had never
been sick was strong because he always
digested his food, and you could become
the same by helping your stomach to
work as well as his. Shaker Digestive
Cordial will help your stomach and will
make you strong and healthy my mak
ing the food you eat make you fat.

The True Remedy.
W. M. Repine, editor Tiskilwa, 111.,
"Cheif," says : "We won't keep house
without Dr. King's New Discovery for
Consumption, Coughs and Colds. Ex
perimented with many others, but never
got the true remedy until we used Dr.
King's New Discovery. No other rem
edy can take its place in our home, as
in it we have certain and sure cnre for
Coughs, Colds, Whooping Cough, etc."
It is idle to experiment with other rem
edies, even if they are urged on you as
just as good as Dr. King's New Discov
ery. They are not as good, because this
remedy has a record of cures and besides
is guaranteed. It never fails to satisfy.

A few weeks ago the editor was taken
with a very severe cold that caused him
to be in a most miserable condition. It
was undoubtedly a bad case of la grippe
and recognizing it as dangerous he took
immediate steps to bring about a speedy
cnre. From the advertisement of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy and the many
good recommendations included therein,
we concluded to make a first trial of the
medicine. To say that it was satisfac
tory in its results, is putting it very
mildly, indeed. It acted like magic and
the result was a speedy and permanent
cure. We have no hesitancy in recom
mending this excellent Cough Remedy
