EISMARC1TS INGENUITY.
A writer in the Times says that
Bismarck, in his jrounger days at
least, did not scorn to attain his ends
ty devices that owed more to well,
call it ingenuity, than to the dignified
exercise of resistless strength. For
instance, while he was Prussia's rep
resentative in the Federal Diet at
Trankfurt he was irritated by the
discovery that some of the very
pompous and equally conscience less
diplomatists in the Bundestag were
in the habit of intercepting and read
ing his reports to the king of Prussia.
Instead of denouncing this custom
openty and thereby causing scenes
and scandals, as he would have done
without hesitation in the days of his
greatest power, tbe prince held his
peace, aud set bis wits to work on the
problem of getting the better of his
antagonists. An old story now re
vived tells how he met the difficulty.
One day when he had a most import
ant letter which be was absolute!'
obliged to confide to the post he put
the document in his pocket, took one
of his colleagues with bim for a walk,
and led into a back street of the city.
There he selected a small grocer's
shop, opened the dcor, entered and
asked for soap. After making his
purchase he put the parcel in his
pocket, asking: 'Have jou any letter
covers?" Some envelopes ot the
commonest kind were brought to
him. lie pulled out his document
and prepared it for the post, where
upon he begged the man to give him
pen and ink. Not having taken off
his gloves, the prince pretended that
he could not write properly, and
asked the shopman to address the
letter, which he did. Putting the
letter first to his nose and then into
his pocket, Bismarck remarked to his
friend: "Now, we'll see if they will
sniff my report under this address
and under this perfume, composed of
soap, heirinsr, tallow and cheese."
Austria's official newspaper says
the peace terms between the United
States and Srain will be settled by
these two countries without any out
side interference. This is what every
newspaper in the United States has
been snying all along. No meddling
on the part of any European power
would be permitted. Spain under
stands this as well as does the United
States. For a time just before and
just after the beginning of the war
Spain looked for tome aid from the
continental European nations, buf
before the war was under way a
month she found this hope to be vain.
She expects no aid in the peace settle
ment. The nations which coerced
Japan after her victorious waragainst
China four years ago would doubt
less be glad to play the role of dic
tator in this case, but they are de
terred by the circumstance that their
interference would be resisted "by all
the power of the United States.
In a democratic country all locali
ties have to be recognized in selec
tions of bodies to lepresent the whole
nation. The peace commission meets
all the requirements in this direction.
One of its members is from New
England, another is from one of tbe
Middle states, another is from the
northern half of the region between
tbe Alleghenies and the Mississippi,
another is from the south and an
other belongs to the west of the Mis
sissippi. While personal fitness has
Ijcen the most important considera
tion in the choice of the country's
representatives in the Paris conven
tion, geographical demands have not
been neglected.
The anti expansionist Springfield
Republican remrrks that "the presi
dent might as well take the Island of
Luzon as the City of Manila, and all
the Philippines if he takes Luzon."
This is correct. But as we already
have Manilla in our hands and are
committed to its retention, and as
the entire Island of Luzon is virtually
in our possession and will not be
given up, the case looks simple. All
the Philippines which is worth any
thing is now practically American
territory, and neither the an ti expan
sionists nor Spain ought to grumble
if we take the rest of the islands in
order to relieve Spain of her embar
rassment. The work of the peace
commissioner, so far as regards the
Philippine matter, is likely to be
light.
Xotlce to Delinquent Taxpayers.
The delinqent taxes of Wasco county,
as Bbown on th6 rolls now in the hands
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 hard times
in the past the county court Las shown
leniency to taxpayere, but that leniency
ha9 reached the limit, and the court
cannot wait longer on delinquents to
make settlements. For this reason a
warrant baa been attached to each de
linquent roll commanding the sheriff to
collect all taxes by seizure and sale 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 ari l sale of property
by settling their taxea at once.

Sheriff and Tax Collector for Wasco
County.

Beats tbe KlondiKe
Mr. A. C. Thomas, of Maryeville.Tex.,
has found a more valuable discovery
than has yet been made in the Klondike.
For years he suffered untold agony from
consumption, accompained by hemmor
rhages; and was absolutefy cured by
Dr. King's New Discovery for Consump
tion, Coughs and Colds. He declares
that gold is of little value in comparison
with this marvelous cure ; would have it,
even if it cost a hundred dollars a bottle.
Asthma, Bronchitis and all throat and
lung affections are positively cured by
Dr. King's New Discovery for Consump
tion. Trial bottles free at Elakeley &
Houghton's drug store. Regular size
50 cents and $1.00. Guaranteed to cure
or price refunded. 2
Deafness Cannot ie. Cared
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
flamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, ami when it is en
tirely closed. Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, bearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous sur
faces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars ; free.

A CRITICAL TOE
During the Battle at
Santiago.
SICK OR WELL, A RUSH
NIGHT AND DAY.
The Packers at the Battle of Santl igo de
Cuba Were all Heroes Their Heroic
Kfiforts In GettlDg Ammunition and
Rations to tlie Front Saved the Day.
P. E. Butler, of pack-train No. 3,
writing from Sandiago, De Cuba, on
July 23d, says : "We all had diarrhoea
in more or less violent form, and when
we landed we had no time to see a
doctor, for it was a case of rush and rush
night and day to keep tbe troops sup
plied with ammunition and rations, but
thanks to Chamber! .in's Colic, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy, we were abie to
keep at work and keep our health ; in
fact, I sincerely believe that at one
critical time this medicine was tbe in
direct saviour of our army, for if the
packers had been unable to work there
would have been no way of getting sup
plies to the front. There were no roads
that a wagon train could use. My com
rad and myeelf had the good fortune to
lay in a supply of this medicine for out
pack-train before we left Tampa, and I
know in four cases it absolutely saved
life."
