Cassiday of Nevada, in speaking of his

"I voted to consider the bill beoause I be
Leve it is the duty of congress, with its
$150,000,000 annual surplus coming into the
treasury, to reduce the tariff; or, in other
words, I think no mors war tax should be
collected." i
Just before going to press we learned, that

baa several times been returned to the

tho Republican county of Clackamas,
with great odds against hini, owing to
his personal popularity. He is in the
prime of his manhood, has been in ac

well acquainted wi.h men and meas

on the side of the people, quick to de

they will trust him. !
W. W. Thayer for Supreme Judge.
A better selection could not bve
been made. Of his personal it needs
no mention ; his history is identified
with that of the State itself. He is not
enly the leading lawyer of Oregon, but
one of the soundest constitutional law
yers ef the United States. The Su
preme court has long heen in want: of
so sound a jurist as Judge Thayer in
its counsels. He will be elected.
A. C. Jones, L. B. Ison, and W.';D.
Fenton are good selections; They are
each lawyers of first-class -.ability, fine
orators and men of irreproachable char
acter, personally popular, not only with
their party, but with the people . at
large in their respective i sections, and
with the proper assistance will make an

A Card. An article appeared in
last week's Plaindealer entitled "A
Juvenile Transactieu," which does not
represent the exact truth in the matter
and being a stranger in this community
I desire that the public may know ihe
truth, since publicity has been given to
the affair. In the first place George
W. Day jr. had been in the "habit of
using vulgar and obscene language to
my little children, as well as calling
their olJer brother, Harry, bad names.
My son came to me with- complaints
and I told him to inferm the boy's pa
rents ot the fact. He .vent; to Mr.
Day's house and told them the way
their boy had been talking, and because
he was unwilling to repeat the lan
guage ia the presence ef Mrs. Day, she
rold him he was lying and ordered him
away from the house. It was not un
til after this that I told him to slap the
boy over if he repeated the insults. As
to Mr. Day reproving his boy and re
porting the same to me, he never done
eo until after the transaction.

A Medical View of Intemperance.
The temperance questien has been so
ably and fully discussed from a reli
gious and political standpoint as to al
most forbid that anything new, or even
interesting should be said in this di
rection. But there is, howevei, one
point which has thus far escaped the
attention of a large majority of the ad
vocates ef temperance, " and afr which
the great mass of ever intelligent peo
ple appear to be entirely unconscious,
and which pales into insignificance any
and all ether causes combined in pro
ducing and perpetuating the cause of
intemperance. This subtle enemy,
which plants in the embryonal cells of
the human organism the germs of
drunkenness and debauchery which are
ever ready to spring into life and activ
ity, whenever circumstances are at all
favorable for their development, ia alco
hol and other 'still more destructive
poisons used as remedial agents. In
the treatment of disease by all. classes
of physicians (except the Physio-medi-cal,"
which is, in fact, the only temper
ance society in the land), alcoholic
liquor is one of the most constantly
used remedies as a stimulant Its use
use is sanctioned and authorized by the
highest medical authority in the peison.
giving schools, in every form of diseaee
in which a stimulant is indicated, and
this is the remedy preciibed alone or
combined in all low fevers. The vast
amount of this liquid fire used in this
way would astonish the uitiuitiated.
All this tinker the genteel, very honor
able and respectable name of medicine,
ranctioned and ordered by men repre
senting a noble profession, to whom
society looks for wisdom and intrusts
the sacred interests' of health. Thence
as an immediate and direct cause of
intemperance the practice of the inodi
cal profession pre-eminently ranks firet
and foremost, and as a remote or fun
damental cause of intemperance, all
a
other causes are as a drou of water to
a '.
the great ocean compared to this one.
However extravagant or hyperbolical
this assertion may seem to many the
facts fully justify and sustain the asser
tion, which I make with no fear of suc
cessful contradiction
The embryonal or formative element
of every tissue of the body consists of
a minute mass of bieplaam. When in
the forces of development there exists
formed material, will occupy the cen
tral area and gets the name of "nucle
us" and "nucleolus." These cells or
tissue elements are joined tegether in
different ways, thus making up the va
rious tiRsufg of the body. These tis
sues are woven together in various
ways and forei the different structure,
and these structures in turn make up
the different ergaas and systems of or
gans and finally the whele corporeal
frame. Thu3 the entire organism, with
all its millions of intricate and complex
parts, is made np of bioplasm and
formed into microscopic cells. Bie
plasm is a semi-fluid mass, it3 pabulem
is the blood, in it resides life force or
vitality; by its agency every kind of
living thing is made, and without it, as
far as is known, no living ; thing ever
has been, or ever can be made. With
out it the tissues could not grow and
could not be impaired if injured. From
these biological facts may be inferred
the important part this living semi
fluid substance plays in the animal
economy, and also the farther very im
portant fact that the healthy integrity
of any and all the structures of the
body depend upon the normal condition
of this vitalizing product of life force.
Now as life force can only manifest
itself upon a definite and specific com
pound, called bioplasm, protoplasm
etc., and as the intellectual faculties
are but conscious expression of tho life
force of the bioplasm ef the cerebrum
or intellectual part of the brain, it fol
lows that any substence or thing thrft
tends to diminish, stunt or degrade the
physical organization, especially those
things which tend to kill or otherwise
diminish the quantity, or quality, or
vital activity of the brain j bioplatm,
muss tend to diminish, dwarf and de
grade the intellectual powers of man.
Hence the fact that alcohol, opium,
chloral, belladonna, and the entire hose
of brain poisons degrade men morally,
spiritually, mentally and physicallyj
that they lead men enly to seek for
those things that minister to his de
praved appetite and passions, t gratify
his lasts and carnal desires. Under
the influence of these abominable poi
sons the cerebral bioplasts are arrested
in their growth and multiplication, arH
diminished in size and hampered in
function, are much lets freely supplied
with pabulem, grow and form more
slowly, ara predisposed to fatty, granu-'
lar degeneration, there is less vital
force, soul, spirit, this immortal part
cannot expand, is dwarfed, stunted and
will scarcely, if ever, rise abovo the
plane of hid earthly and sensual sur
roundings, above the lusts of the flesh.
These constitute the pleasures of his
soul and there can be no joy, peace or
happiness when deprived of these.
Heaven would become a hell o such a J
one. "'v'Yv
The things we drink, the food we eat
and the medicines we take, have more
to do with the soul's future welfare
than many suppose. Then beware of
that man in the guise of ftiend or doc
tor who offers you wine or other strong
drink, or who substitutes for these bel
ladonna, opium, chloral, or other poi
sonous agents. Say to him, these are
of the dsvil; "get thee behind me, Sa
tan." The whisky -staked j and poison
deranged braip'sees distorted and fright
ful images, becomes idealistic, egotisti
cal, rain, morose, unhappy, vicious,
foolish. If he he has pleasure at all he
finds it in the gratification of his vol
luminous lusts; in persecuting those
whom he conceives to be his enemies,
or who oppose his whims and opinions.
He may become avaricious and then
travel one ceaseless round of repetition
in mental strife to beat his neighbor
out of another dollar. He is no longer
a free agent Every downward step
every glass of liquor, every dote of poi
son medicine kill its complement of bi
oplasm and thus reduces the vital en
ergy of his entire body, and never fail
to attack the mental throne, banishing
forever the power ithat wills to do, and
finally sinks in hopeless despair into
the clutches ef his satanic majesty, poi
son, a burden to -himself, an incum
brance to his friends, a hopeless ruin.
It is an unquestionable fact that
those persons who have been dosed with
poisons at an earlyi age manifest dis
tinct Bigns of change in many tissues of
the body. They look older, and in
deed physiologically speaking, their tis
sues are considerable older and have
deteriorated in a much greater degree
thun would have beea the case if they
had not been exposed to the action of
tho substances in question. This is the
period of life when the young mind is
expanding most rapidly; the time when
they are most susceptible to impres
sions, whether fer good or evil; the
time when there is the gieatest relative
proportion ef living matter, compared
with formed material, and hence the
time whea the gieatest number of
drunkards are made; the time when the
precepts of parents and othets are mere
powerful for good or evil; the time
when sickness most abounds; and the
time when alcohol in all iis upas-like
forms, and opium, with- its still more
serpent-like fangs, coil their slimy folds
around the unsuspecting soul, and who
shall say what shfll be the fate of pa
rent, friend or doctor who, in the face
of the world's history and God's retrib
utive justice, shall by alcoholic and
other even more subtle poisons, bring
physical degradation and mental dam

Everything is lively in our little
valley and all the good people are
happy.
Another fortune-teller has arrived,
who seems gifted with a wonderful
power ef reading both paat and future
aad by some of our youths this genius
is looked upon with awe. The past has
been brought to light with such accu
racy as to raise the hair on their heads.
Our school is progressing finely, un

a Dudgo.
Tinpot boasts of Only one old maid
As a general rule old maids are consid
ered the salt of the earth, but this one
proves an exception. She seems to be
more of the peppery erder.
We learn that the champion pugilist
of Drain is considerably interested in
this vicinity and is going to set his cap,
but that cap is so much worn that the
bird is apt to fly through unfettered.
Miss Lucy Goodell of Drain, passed
through here Friday. She has received
the Elkton school. We wish her suc

sunshine and in shadow.
Had journeyed long, singing a song,
. Ia search of Eldorado.
But he grew old, this knight so bold,
And o'er his heart a shadow
Fell as he found no spot of ground
That looked like Eldorado.
And as his strength failed him at length
He met a pilgrim shadow.
Shr.dow," Baid he, "where can it be,
This spring of Eldorado?"
Quoth the shadow: "For the benefit of
suffering bumanity I will state tbt the El
dorado spring is situated three miles . west
from Rosegurg, and a supply of the wattr is
kept constantly on hand and for sale Ly Dr.
S. Hamilton, agent, Roseburg, Oregon."
Mr. Geo. W. Jokes. Dear Sir: I nave bee
troubled with neuralgic pain in my head and chlc
bones, for several yeara, and had give up all hopes of
ever getting cured. I went to your medical springs
with my soa James and got some of the water, and
drank it freely and found that it was a mild phytic.
J used it three times a day for a little more than two
months, aud the pains leit me and I have not felt
them since, and th tt has been 17 months ao.

Gbo. W. Joxbs. Iear Sir: I would here state to
you that a year ago 1 suSered untold agonies on ac
count of piles (blind) and went to Portland to get re
lief from doctors there. 1 met Mr. Apple f Rose
burg, who advised me before seeing the doctors to.
try your Eldorado Mineral Water. I did so aad had
one dozen bottles sent to me by A. E. Champagne.
I used one-half dozen bottles, taking right before ev
ery meal, one small glass full. I not only was re
lieved, but I am certainly cured by what I used, and
tiiuVTui lor it, because 1 sunetecl more than I can
express. I would advise any one suffering from thia
disease to try your Mineral Water, bhould you
have any occasion to use this statement do so. You
are at liberty on my account. I think this is the
least I can do for you, as I was cured by it. R
spectfully yours, JULIAN JOSEPH.
' " ROSEBURG, Dec. 8, 1SS
GEO. W. JOKES: Dear Sir. From sheer curiosity
I was induced to try Eldorado Water and was not on
ly surprised but highly gratifleJ with the result.' I
have for many years been a sufferer from dyspepsia
and have tried every kind of epsin known to
pharmacy and without result. The contrary was my
experience from the ue of your mineral water. Ta
ken according to directions it produced immediate,
relief and iu a short time, if i ontinued, would becure
permanent cure. To any who will avoid irritating
stimulants, I am satisfied it will prove of valuable
comfort and benefit. As a general regulator I found,
it most excellent. L. F. LANE.
