Richatdson said his kitchen and appoint

The Event of the Season at Dufnr.
Dcfcr, Feb. 1, 1894.
Editor TimrsMocktaimkbr: .
The largest crowd that has been in at
tendance at any entertainment in Dufur for
many years greeted tbe members of the Du
fur band Wednesday evening, on the event
of their first punlic concert and ball.
Dufur has been proud of her band for
several years, but it was a surprise to many
aud a pleasure to all tbe superior manner io
which the programme of eighteen numbers
was rendered.

After the concert the floor was cleared of

Bays C arris E. Stockwkll, of Chester

extremely severe pain in the lower part of
the chest. The feeling was as if a ton
-weight was laid
on a spot tbe size
of my hand. Dur
ing the attacks, the
perspiration would
stand in drops on
my face, and it was
agony for me to
make sufficient
effort eventowhis.
per. They came
suddenly, at any
hour of the day or
night, lasting Irom
thirty minutes to
half a day, leaving as suddenly; but, for
several days after, I was quite pros
trated and sore. Sometimes the attacks
were almost daily, then less frequent After
about four years ot this suffering, I was
taken down with bilious typhoid fever, and
when I began to recover, I bad the worst
attack of my old trouble I ever experienced.
At tbe first of the fever, my mother gave
me Ayer's Pills, my doctor recommending
them as being better than anything Lie
conld prepare. I continued taklnz these
Pills, and so great was the benefit derived
that during nearly thirty years I have hacj
but one attack of my former trouble, whlcn
yielded readily to the same remedy."

FREE TRIAL.
The Only Way to Help the Poor.
The problem of rendering help lo . the
unemployed, without doing more harm
than good, is as serious a problem as any
that contemporaneous civilization has lo
deal with. Out of hundreds of methods
that have been proposed and tried there
is the smallest possible percentage that
have been successful. There are no more
conscientious or well-informed students
of this problem, than the Hey. Dr. Lyman
Abbott and Mrs. Josephine Shaw Lowell
of New York, both of sthoni out of their
long study and their wide experience
write instructive articles for the February
number of Th Forum. It is remarkable
that both these writers, each treating the
subject independently of the other, note
the fact that the best solution of the
problem of poverty, perhaps, after all, the
only solution, is through the personal
work of well-to-do people directed wi.h
discretion toward the personal help of
particular families or individuals. If
every person In comfortable circum-
' sfances were to make it a part of his duty
to give proper aia ana personal encour
agement to some other person less fortu
nately situated, the whole problem of!
poverty '.would disappear exeept, ot
course, that portion of it which nothing
can cure, the portion that has its origin
in a helpless break-down of character or
of health, or both. -
From The Coeur d'Alene.
The Colfax Commoner, in an interview
with Hon. William K ng, one of the richest
men in Idaho, gleans the following encour
aging news from the Cceur d'Alene mines:
"Up in the Coeur d'Aiene," said he, "They
are working pretty nearly all of the mines,
but with reduced forces, of course. The y
ship out of the mines about tan carloads of
ore a day, and that represents about $1200
to the CRT on an average. Th p otpe-ts at
present look fayorable for a good season;
but if lead is put on the free list it will
hurt us, as British Columbia l:a 1, frjiu
just over the line, is of a higher gra le tn.i
our Coeur d'Alene product.
This low price of silver and other set
backs of the silver and lea I m'nsj don't at
feot us in ths least at M-irMy, beiaute ourt
is a gold country, and ti?rj is oo drubs of a
good season. I venture to say true, jatC at
present, we have mora m aey p;r c-pi; iu
Murray than thera is any towa I kaiwuf
in the northwest. For instance, there are .
four taro games running up there, and at
though gambling is a bad thing,' still where
games ruu in full blast io a minaing towo it
is an indication that there is a heap of
loose money aronnd. . There is no talk ot
hard times in our camp."

system the LIABILITY (for deferred or confiscated dividends withheld in pool ostensibty for the benefit of persistent sur

surplus, and is alto available for expenses. The. enormous expenses of the Tontine companies as shown
