An Astonishing But True Story " My home is in Sidney, Ohio. I have been nearer death with consumption than auv other living person in the world, and I want you to read this, so you can tclf others. I took a severe cold and neglected it, 1 grew worse all the time, and at the end of two years I had run into consumption. I coughed terribly, lost llcsh, could not sleep, and became so dreadfully weak that I had to take to bed. In the following eighteen months I gradually reached the last stages ot" consumption. No less than seven physicians treated me and all gave me up saying I was in curable. I was absolutely helpless. The whole fnm ily wore themselves out caring for me. One day mother and sister came to mv bedside, and said r-j I had but a day or two more to live. Tears rolled down their cheeks as they sobbed the news. The doctors had declared I was in the last stage, and no human being could save me. I was willing to die, but before going to the cruel grave, I wanted to go out and see my dearly beloved town of Sidney once more. They told me such a thing was impossible that I would surely die before I got back. But I insisted, and to gratify my dying wish, a carriage was fitted up with a bed of pillows, and to this I was carried and slowly driven around Court House Square. I got home more dead than alive. Through the mercy of Provi dence, someone brought a trial bottle of medicine said to be a consumption cure. No one imagined for an instant it was worth trying. But as a drowning person grasps at a straw, so I tried this medicine. I was better after taking two doses. Mother got more of the medicine and I took it. improving all the time. Today I am as well as any reader of this paper, and the medicine that cured mo was Acker's English Remedy for Consumption. I declare before God and man that ever word here printed is true." This remarkable testimonial, on file in the office of Messrs. W. H. Hooker & Co., New York, proprietors of Dr. Acker's Celebrated English Remedy, is vouched for by them, as well as by prominent druceists of Sidney, Ohio.

LEGISLATIVE HAPPENINGS The Festive Tiuuliatotie Alan A.kft Pro tection rarcM'x 1'nst UIU Killed The DalleM I'ortage n I'.lc Dnttnrtaktns. have conn to Washington from this Special correspondence 8tate Tj)e meaanre undoubtedly is be- The following named members of the),np pushed through our national body honee have placed themselves on record! 0f lawmakers bv the larire eitv depart- in matters pertaining to the prohibition of the Baieoi intoxicants at the state fair grounds during the session of the Ore gon state fair. Thev are Allen, Black, Dresser, Eddy, Hawkins, Hume, In-, gram, Kruse, McQueen, Merrill, Mon- j tague, Nottingham, Smith, of Multno-1 uiah, Talb-jrt, Thompson, of Multno-! mah, Vincent, Watson, Whitney and Speaker Recder. The vote was taken on the measure providing for the licensing of saloons on the fair grounds by the state board of agriculture. The bill passed, however, by thn votes nf the re maining members, Stewart and Edson being absent. The senatorial situation on Tuesday is unchanged. Th vote taken does not show the least sign or incident by which an inkling can be found pertaining to future action relative to this matter. It is thought, however, that Corbett and his followers will endeavor to prevent the election of any other candidate, and the chances are good for the senatorial light to continue until the end of the session. However, it is believed that linall y a senator will be elected and that it will not be Corbett. A number of staunch republicans, who nre qualified to represent Oregon in the upper houHe of congress, are available for the posi tion, and it is known that many who now Hipport McBride, Hermann nnd Corbett will, afponie future date, agree on some suitable candidate for the place. Otto Schumann i a member of the lower house in the Oregon legislature; lie is alFO a grave-stono dealer in Port land, and cuts inscriptions on monu ments in two languages. In the pursuit of his chosen vocation he sometimes fur- nishes the stone, labor and necessary time used in placing memorial tributes over the last resting places of the de parted and receives: no pay for his ex pense, outlay and good intentions. To correct this evil the gentlemau from Multnomah has introduced a measure providing for a lien to be taken upon such murking stones for sums equal to the amount for which they were con tracted by those ordering them. In the practical, every-day usage of such a law, many pieces of rnouuiuental work would be removed from the grave for purchase money not paid. A local cartoonist grasped the idea and furnished a good likeness of Mr. Schumann, using the general view of a cemetery ub a back ground. In this view drays and men were employed in removing headstones for money due, even though widows nnd friends besought with tears that the slabs ba not taken away. A measuie, which ie interesting sev eral members to a great degree, ie that pertaining to the portage railway at the dalles. Whils everyone understands the necessities of the occan'on ami the great number of residents of tlm state to be benefited by such a railway, it seems a large undertaking for the state to lu tein pt tat thu present time. Howover, some action will undoubtedly be taken Hi regard to this matter during the pres ent session. The parcel's post bill, now pending in congress, is a measure which iu actual practice would ruin the small country : .retail dealer, yet a memorial to congress : praying for its passage nlmost passed both houee3 of the Orecon leeislature. Had it not been for the effortB of certain newspaper representatives, who recog nized the injurious nature of the bill, audi a memorial would undoubtedly ment stores of the country, which al ready are a menace to the retail stores in our smaller towns and villages. How ever, the memorial wns practically killed yesterday in the house, when Heitkem per gave notice that he would call for a re-consideration of the measure todav. A Life AnU Death Fight. Mr. W. A. Hines of Manchester, la., ! writing of his almost miraculous escape from death, says : "Exposure after meas les induced serious lung trouble, which ended in Consumption. I had frequent hemorrhages nnd coughed night arid day. All my doctors said I must soon die. Then I began to use Dr. Kind's New Discovery lor Consumption, which com pletely cured me.
