An Astonishing But True Story
" Mv home is in Sidncv, Ohio. I have been nearer death with consumption
than anv other living person in the world, and I want you to read this, so you
can telf others. I took a severe cold and neglected it, 1 grew worse all the
time, and at the enu of
two years I had run into
consumption. I coughed
terribly, lost flesh, could
not sleep, and became so
dreadfully weak that I
had to take to bed. In
the following eighteen
months l" gradually
reached the last stages
of consumption. No less
than seven physicians
treated me and all gave
me up saying I was in
curable, l" was absolutely
helpless. The whole fam
ily wore themselves out
caring for me. One day
mother and sister came
to mv bedside, and said
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 mere.
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 fhe 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 me was

know how lonely and neeWcted her

taxes heretofore made collectible under
other acts.
Honse bill 205, which was approved
by the governor last Tuesday, requires
-the collection of a road poll tax of $3
from every male inhabitant over 21 and
under 50 years of age, unless by law
exempt. The tax may be paid either in
labor or cash, hut county courts may
require that it be paid in cash. If any
person refutes to pay the tax a suit may
be brought in a justice's court to collect
the same and the wages of the de
linquent may be levied upon to collect
any judgment recovered. The tax must
be expended upon the roads of the
district in which collected. The act
contains an emergeucy clause, and goes
'into effect immediately. The tax be
comes due on March 1st, and may be
collected between March lit and De
cember 31st of each year.
The Oregon legislature adopted the
Torren system of land titles and trans
1erp. By this system any owner of real
estate can have his title examined by
county officials, and if perfect, a certifi
cate is issued to hiui, which can then be
transferred with no more formality than
the title to personal property, a record
of the transfer bejng made upon the
back of the certificate and entered in a
book of record in the recorder's office.
It ie simplicity itself, and has been
adopted in Massachusetts and Illinois,
where it is gradually superceding the
old system. It is not compulsory but in
some form is destined to be adopted in
all civilized countries. It was first in
troduced in Australia.

the address by the commander of the G.
