Asthma's Clutch Tin sufferer from Astlinm is constantly whrcziiiK, gnspiui;, hackinc anil clearing tlio throat. When a storm approaches, when there 1 a cloud of dust, when a room is bcinc swept, or when there i- a had odor, hreathinp bi comes most ilitllcult. Often it seems as though someone was clutchinc the sutl'erer by t h e t hront with a terri I hlecrasp. The choking sen sation is al most unbenr- a b 1 e. The trouble some times lasts only a few minutes and again bangs on Tor many days. There is only one safe thing to do, and that is take Acker's JCnglish Kcmedy for Tiiroat and Lung Trou bles. Just what this medicine accomplishes is shown by the following letter from Mr. N. 31. Andrews, a prominent resident of Spring field, Ohio, who writes: ' If. II.

Salem, Or., Feb. 18, 1901. The public mind is very much un settled today relative to the senatorial situation, so much so in fact that as sertions made either in one direction or another are watched with euepicioue eyes by lobbyists from ail sides. This shows t:ut none of the candidates for such honors are assured of any belief of ultimate victory. The only hopes now of an election seems to rest upon the fact that Oreeon must have representa tion in eonijres?, atid Bt the very last moment, it is expected u break will be made in the ranks, but to whom is not known. Corbett baaes hie hopes on this, yet it is hardly probable that men w ho were elected in direct opposition to Cornell's candidacy will so fur forget the wishes of their constituents as to ast their ballot in hie favor. It has today been stated that Senator Smith of Multnomah, a republican elected on the citizens' ticket In that county laet June, can control a number of republican votes, some of whom, even, have been supporting Corbett. The facts in the case hardly warrant such an assertion, yet this is one of the possibilities. Mr. Smith is a gentleman of education and ranks well among hip fellow men, and, tthotild he receive the honois mentioned, would represent the 'fitnteof Oregon with credit in the upper house of congress. This gentleman, however, is not a candidate for the place, and should he be elected it will be by his friends who recognisis in him true wort;, and merit. In drawing up the bill fur the protec tion of fish in thf watera of Oregon, Mr. Hume omitted to include the Columbia river, hence the fishermen are repre sented in Salem by a committee which is endeavoring to have the Colombia also mentioned. They say, "If a fish- wheel or fish-trap is a bad tiling jn the Willamette, the Rogue river, or any other stream in Oregon, it is also a bad tiling in the Columbia." Mr. Hume, on the contrary, claims that "the men who own fieii-wheelt, fih-traps und other fishing gear on the Columbia, hold these rightB from the state; first, through the tide land act, and, second, by right of limitation, customary usage thus making the law." Tfie fishermen sent up to each of the members of the house, on Monday, a beautiful bouquet to which this card wus attucned : "Natural Flowers und Natural Propa gation are Superior to the Artificial. Vote to protect the natural spawning grounds. Cumpiiments of the men who risk their lives to catch the fish." The senators will receive like favors ou Wednesday. The present legislature promises to be one of the most expensive in the history of the state. It is not to be understood by this that the members are prodigal to their trusts, or unmindful of the In ierentH 't their constituents, hut rather that the demand of our institutions and mutters or etate are duily increasing, en larging and growing ho the expenses be come greater a:ii greater each year, until today they naturally are larger than ever before. Tho state's genet u! expense account, the Kate hospital, penitentiary, agri cultural college, university, normal schools, war veterans, reform schools, deaf-mute school, Eastern Oregon ex .peri men t etutlon, eoldierb' home, the several commissions, and a dozen other propositions are awaiting with eve! open hands to receive funds from the treasury of Oreeon. Resides there are numerous claims of various kinds which are biennially made by those who are unworthy as well as worthy, and all taken together it is not surprising that the amounts regularly appropriated are not much larger than they are. Still the large sum which has been appropri ated during this session looks to the average taxpayer to be an enormous ex penditure for so small a state, in so short a time, and some of the legislators will'beasKed to "explain" when they return to their constituents. Very lit tle has been saved on account of the clerkship evil, although only about one third of the number of clerks usually employed are now drawing state pay. The old saying that "a new broom sweeps clean" does not apply to a state legislature composed of new members, unless it means that they sweep the treasury vault clean. In that cose it generally remains a trnw adage. The voters and taxpayers of Multno mah county certainly knew their busi ness when they refused to elect the republican candidates for the legislature last June. In their efforts to secure great reductions in their county ex penses, by means of the passage of a bill which provides for the consolidation of the offices of county clerk, clerk of the circuit court and county recorder, the citizen members were with the tax payers while the republican portion of the Multnomah delegation was against the adoption nf such measures. Brutally Beats Ilia Uwn Slater. Wam.a Walla, Feb. 18. Thursday night Mrs. Sarah Smith, of this city, was brutally assaulted and beaten about the head by her brother, Clem Mastersou The assault occurred at the home of their mother, Mrs. Sarah JIasterson, on First street. Clem Masterson had been drinking during the afternoon und evening. HiE mother finally got him to promise that he would go to a ranch they have about six miles out of town. He took a horse from the barn, and she supposed he had started. Later she learned he had gone hack down town and was drinking again John,ayounger brother, and Mrs. Smith, bis widowed sister, then went down, found the horse and took it home. When Clem found this out he started home after them. He caught them at the gate, when John ran away. After abus ing bis Bister a short time, Clem knocked her down, and cruelly beat her about the head. The family are somewhat reticent about the matter and refuse to talk much, but it is learned upon reliable authority that Mrs. Smith is in a yery precarious condition. Clem Masterson has left the city and his whereabouts are unknown. Tuiigue vm Wilxi.jp. Washington, Feb. IS. Representa tives Tongue, of Oregon, and Wilson, of Idaho, indulged in rather spirited ix changes today in the house committee on arid lands, over the report of the Newlands arid land bill. Mr. Wilson had moved to report the bill, and when the chairman, Mr. Tongue, declined to enter tain the motion, the Idaho member co"i mented in a personal manner on the chairman's course. The matter was amicably adjusted, and Mr. Reeder, of Kunsas, was authorized to make tiie it port. The bill sets aside receipts of public lands in the arid I und states lor purposes ol storing waters and reclaim ing the urid sections. Kruer to King. London, Feb. 18.
