Notice to Delinquent Taxpayers. The delinqent taxes of Wasco county, as shown on the rolls now in the bands of the sheriff are $60,000, an amount al most equal to the indebtedness of the county. Every citizen will doubtless admit that this state of affairs should not exist, and that all taxes should be collected. On account of bard times in the past the county court Las Bhown leniency to taxpayers, but that leniency has reached the limit, and the court cannot wait longer on delinquents to make settlements. For this reason a warrant has been attached to each de linquent roll commanding the sheriff to collect all taxes by seizure and eale of property. With a bountiful crop now in sight, there can no longer be any rea sonable excuse for the non-payment of taxes. The sheriff is bound by oath to comply with the terms of the warrants attached to the tax rolls for the collec tion thereof, and has no option in the matter. Delinquent taxpayers can save the cost of seizure and eale of property iy settling their taxes at once. Robert Keely, Sheriff and Tax Collector for Wasco County. Dated, August 4, 1898.

ACCEPT HO SUBSTITUTE j About one month ago my child, which is fifteen months old, had an attack ol diarrhoea accompanied by vomiting. 1 gave it Euch remedies as are usually given in such casee, but as nothing gave relief, we sent for a physician and it was under bis care for a week. At this time the child had been sick for about ten days and waB having about twenty-five operations of the bowels every twelve hours, and we were convinced that un less it soon obtained relief it would net live. Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Rerndy was recommended, and I decided to try it. I soon noticed a change for the better; by itsi continued use a complete cure was brought about and it is now perfectly healthy. C. L. Boggs, Stumptown, Gilmer Co., W. Va. For sale by Blakeley & Houghton. Persons troubled with diarhoea will he interested in the experience of W. M. Bush, clerk of the hotel Dorrance, Prov idence, R. I. He says : "For several years I have been almost a constant suf ferer from diarrhoea, the frequent at tacks completely prostrating me and rendering me unfit for my duty at this hotel. About two years ago a traveling salesman kindly gave me a small bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarhoea Remedy. Much to my sur prise and delight its effects were imme diate. Whenever I felt symptoms of the disease I would fortify myself against the attack with a few doses of this val ueabla remedy. The result has been very satisfactory and almost complete relief from the affliction." For sale by Blakeley & Houghton. A Marrow Escape. Thankful words written by Mrs. Ada E. Hart, of Groton, S. D.
