Few people know that all plants con
tain digestive principles. They can
not absorb their food until it is di
gested .any more than animals . can.
The Mount Lebanon Shakers, have
learned the artof extracting and utiliz
ing these digestive principles, and it
is for this reason that their Shaker Di
gestive Cordial is meeting with such
phenomenal success in the treatment
of dyspepsia. The Shaker Digestive
Cordial not only contains food already
digested, but.it also contains digestive
principles which aid the digestion of
other foods that may be eaten with in.
A single 10 cent sample bottle will be
sufficient to demonstrate Its value, and
we suggest that every suffering dyspep
tic make a trial of it. Any druggist
can supply it.
Laxol is the best medicine for

The Objection not Good ' .
- There are people who have objection
to advertising matter in the reading
colums of a newspaper. . The ground of
objection is that they dont want to read
advertisements. Now this objection
is not good, for often times advertise
ments convey valuable information.
For instance, how else would the
traveling public learn of the excellent
dining car service of the Wisconsin
Central Lines between St. Paul and
Chicago, or the 'general comfort of
traveling over this popular line. For
particulars call on the nearest ticket
agent or address J. C. Pond, G. P. A.,
Milwaukee, Wis., or George S. Batty,

v HE'S 8TIIXA JOKER.
Our Worthy School Superintendent I as
Jolly as of Old
A few weeks' sojourn in Hoosierdom
and the Buckeye state have not bad a
tendencv to make Sunt. C. L. Gilbert
grow old or less genial, as will be seen
from the following communication
dated at Indianapolis, April 10.
Your issu9 of the 3d inst. is before
me and in it I notice a local item per
taining to myself, having tho closing
remark: "His friends here think he
must have been using a spirit thermO'
meter when at Cheyenne." I do not
hold your reporter responsible for this
reflection on my habits or ability to
determinethe degree cf. cold in tho
absence of Pague, but I do desire that
your readers should know by whom
and in what spirit of retaliation it was
ffiven to the reporter. In a letter to a
friend in The Dalles I remarked how the
MUaourfans cut their hair, viz: "crock
fashion," observing at the same time
that Judge Bradshaw and Clerk Kelsay
has improved wonderfully since leav'
lag there. Now it will be unuertood
that these gentlemen were born in
Missouri in a very early pc-iod of their
existence (for which I do not hold
either of tbora responsible) and are
playing, the part of defendants for that
state. . I can provo, if need oe, Dy ray
wife how cold it was at Cheyenne, but
these court officials would rule that
she could not testify in behalf of her
husband. If I thought It would spite
them anv I would refuse to return
home.
By the way. Mr. Editor, is it true
that Fred Wilson and Ed. Wingate
were married in Honolulu? 1 would
like to see the boys do well.but they are
certainly too full of "flees to sleep
away their life in Hawaii.
C. L. Gilbert.
The Same Old Sour.
The weary news restler was in hot
pursuit of an item, going at the rate
of six miles an hour, when his atten
tion was attracted to the unusual bus
tle in the front yard of a Fourth street
residence, and from the woodshed he
heard the voice of a bright little ten-year-old
damsel singing:
"Father, dear father, come with me
now, for ma has some carpets to beat;
she's got all tha furniture out in the
yard, from the front door out to tho
street. The stove must come down
and be put in the shed, and tho yard
must be cleared of soma grass, for it's
time to clean house and tho devil's to
pay, and the front windows need some
new glass. Father, dear father, corns
home with ma no'.v, and bring some
bologuna and cheese: it's most 12
o'clock and there's nothing. to eat
I'm so hungry, I'm weak in tho knees.
All the dinner we'll havo will be cold
scraps and such, and we'll have to eat
standing up, too, for the table and all
are out in the yard, oh! I wish the
housecleaning was through. Father,
dear father, come home with me now,
for ina is as mad as a Turk; she says
you are only a lazy old thing, and that
she shall put you to work. There's
painting to do and paper to hang, and
the windows and casings to scrub, for
it's housecleaning time and youv'e got
to come home and revel in suds and
cold grub.'V
He Works the Grocers.
A smooths scoundrel has been work
ing grocers in Willamette valley towns
on a sly little job whereby he cleans up
$75 dollars in a place, skipps out,
changes b is name and seeks a victim,
in a new locality. The Albany Demo
crat gives this account of his .opera;
tions:
"On March 30 a young man 5 feet 6
inches tall, weighing about 140 pounds
was in Albany, and representing him
self to be the agent of T. Kingsford &
Co., .manufacturers of Silver Gloss
starch,, the only anti-trust house,
and traveling directly for the factory,
he could sell cheaper, go5 or Jers from
most of the grocers for 8 or 10 cases, at
2 cents below the usual cose with
feight paid to Albany. One house was
selected as the. distributing point.
While here he incidentally needed $75
dollars so he called at the First
National Bank and drew on T. Kings
ford & Son. A grocer was called in to
identify him. The draft was endorsed
and Mr. Miller left for other fields,
doing the valley generally this way,
cleaning up about $75 a day. The
drafts are being returned and the en
dorsers are being called upon to make
their signatures good."
"Consistency's" Farting Shot.
Ed. Times-Moitntaineeb:
AS to the "Musings" in last night's
Chronicle, which, indeed, was very ap
propriately termed "Idle" (and whic i,
in this respect, are highly character
istic of their author) I have nothing
to say; further than that I am as
tounded at his audacity. His idle
musings are clearly vindicative of his
gross ignorance of the danger there is
in the amusement in question, and as I
intimated in my last, he has given
vent to these "idle" utterances to his
own shame; and it is gratifying to
know that none but himself is to be
responsible for such stultification. I
dismiss this unpleasant discussion by
suggesting- for the edification of tho
Chronicle man, that "where ignorance
is bliss, 'tis folly to be wise."
- Consistency.
The Firemen's Tournament.
The annual meeting . and tourna
ment of the Eastern Oregon and
Washington Firemen's Association,
which is to be held in Baker City,
June 8, 9 and 10, promises to eclipse
any gathering of firemen ever held' on
the Pacific coast.
Baker City will enter two teams and
a hook and ladder team in the races.
Walla Walla will be represented by a
hookt'and ladder and bose team; Pen
dleton by a hose team; Waitsburg a
hoso team; La Grande with a hose
team; Union with a bose team or hook
and ladder team, and Athena will
probably send a team.
Barn Burned at Wamie.
About 4 o'clock last Saturday after
noon A. J. Swift's barn at Wamic was
totally destroyed by fire. A horse that
was in the barn was so badly burned
that it had to be killed, and a ;alf con
fined in the barn was also burned to
death. The barn was' a small struc
ture, and when the fire was discovered,
it was all ablaze,.making it impossible
to rescue anything but one horse that
was tied near the door. The cause of
the fire is a mystery as there had been
no fire about the building for some
time prior to the burning.
Didn't Like Wanhlnstoa.
' Tuesday Henry Mater, concluded
that one of the horses that has been
worked on Maier & Benton's delivery
wagon the past six or seven years was
entitled to a rest, having served his
masters so long and 'faithfully, and
took him across the river and left him
in a most inviting clover pasture. But
the climate of Washington didn't suit
the old horse. He had resided in The
Dalles so many years that he refused
to be torn away ""from the scenes so
dear to his recollection. The Dalles
was dearer to him than all the clover
in Washington, consequently ho bid
adieu to tho etato that has excluded
Oregon sheep from its pasture?,
plunged into the broad Columbia, and
swam through Us mile of cold, swift
water to his native Oregon.
ANOTHER MSW CHURCH.
The
Lutherans Will Build During the
Coining Seatioa.
The Lutherans of this city intend to
build a churcb on their lot, corner of
Union and 7th street, in the early part
of this summer on which we heartily
congratulate them. There are quite
a number of Lutherans in this city,
many of whom are old residents, and
they will, no doubt, appreciate the fact
verv much, that they shall soon
have their own house for public wor
ship. Although practically unknown
here in the West, the Lutheran church
nevertheless, the strongest protes
tint ecclesiastical body in the chris
tian world, and its communicant mem
bership is said to number 55,000,000 in
round figures. The Lutheran is the
states-church of Germany, Sweden,
Norway and Denmark, and ail those
great and world renowned universities
of Germany are controlled by tho Lu
theran church. She was born in the
university and her tendency is there
fore doctrinal, to which we contribute
the fact that she prospers best in our
large intellectual centers. In Chicago,
Milwaukee, St. Louis, St. Paul, Min
neapolis and other great intellectual
and business centers of the middle
west and also of the east the Lutherans
claim a larger communicant member-
bership than all other protestants
taken together.
The Lutheran church has been
greatly hampered in her development
n this country by the language ques
tion, but even this aimcuity is Deing
rapidly overcome. Here in The Dalles
there are English, German, Swedish,
Danish and Norwegian Lutherans, and
while they cannot very well establish
five different churches, one for each of
these fastions, yet they can well form
one strong church by uniting on the
Englisn language and that is what they
are doing now. Mr. Grey, toe luth-
' eran pastor of The Dalles, is meeting
! with wood success in bringing the
Lutherans together into an Elglish
. ehurcli.and if his work . is crowned
! with as good success in the future as
it has been in the past year then the
' Lutheran church will soon bo amongst
the strongest organizations In this
city. .'..,.- A.

TH3 COLUMBIA POSTAGE.
It Hay be Built by Private Capital This
Season.
Little has been heard of late regard
ing the portage road between The
Dalles and Celilo, but the question is
again being agitated, acd there is at
least a possibility that the company or
ganized last year will take hold of the
project and push it along to comple
tion. Judge Mariner, of Blalock, one
of the promoters, has been in Walla
Walla some time under treatment in a
hospital, and to the Union made the
following statements with reference to
the proposed portage:
"We havo not done, much on the
portage roid yet, but hope to in the
near future. We were incorporated
too late last fall to gat the road under
way before the winter set in, and
there has been no opportunity to be
gin work yet this spring. Our pro'
posed plan is to build a narrow guage
railroad around the dangerous part of
t he river.on the Oregon side and operat
ing itcheaply,charge the shippers only
enough to pay the actual running ex
penses of the road and a small inter
est on the amount invested.
"By this means tho whole Columbia
river system would be opened from
Lewiston to Portland, and the ship
pers from all of that part of the country
would be greatly benefited. Several
lines of steamers would be put on im
mediately, and the railroad companies
would be compelled to lower their
freight rates iu order to meet this op
position.
"We expected aid from the Oregon
legislature," continued the judge,
and had that body been organized
and transacted any business, ours
would havo been one of the first mat
ters considered, out as it is we mast go
ahead with it ourselves or let it drop
altogether.
"If the people of this upper country,
which would derive as much benefit
from the opening of the river as the
countries nearer the coast, would un
ite with us and help us to forward the
scheme: or if the United States gov
ernment would manifest a little more
interest in the navigabillity of its
second largest river system, those who
depend on a coast and foreign market
for their products could be saved from
exorbitant freight rates and large
numbers of desirable settlers would be
brought to this country."
Do Not Neglect lour Eyes.
Many suffer from poor eyesight who
could be relieved, but neglect to have
their vision corrected in time to save
or improve the sight, and as age creeps
on they are afilicted with blindness or
blurred vision instead of having strong
bright eyes. Do not deceive yourself.
If you have defective sight, do not pro
crastinate, but have your eyes attended
to at once, and thus save yourself
great pain and suffering in old age.
Good vision is a boon to be cherished.
Dr. Lannerberg, office in Vogt block,
will examine your eyes free of charge.
