It is probable that everyone without exception, receives vast numbers of tubercle germs into the system and where thei-o germs fall upon suitablo soil they start into life and develop, at first slowly and is Hhown by a slight tickling sensation in tho throat and if allowed to continue (heir ravages they extend to the lungs 'producing con sumption and to the head; causing ca tarrh. Now all this is dangerous and if allowed to proceed will in time cause death. At the onset you must act with promptness; allowing a cold to go without attention is dangerous and uiav lofC you your life. As toon us you feci that something is wrong with your throat, lungs or nostrils, obtain u bottlo of Boscheu'h German Syrup. It will give you immediate relief. Vglm Cooj.er Mlt(ii, 8, B.

EKiTott Okkrox Srtt)T: The only law requiring the publica tion of notice of intention to make final proof is tlg) act of congress ap proved March 3, IS7i) (20 Stat., -172), and applies exclusively to homestead and pre-emption entries. Departmental regulations have been promulgated requiring such publica tion in desert-land and timber-culture entries. I believe that there is no di rect statutory authority for the institu tion of such regulation in respect, to such entries, but that it is claimed that the authority is found in the teneral provisions of law relating to the mak ing of 'regulations necessary to carry - ing into ell'eot the laws governing dis posals of public lands. Under the law requiring tho publi cation of notice in pre-emption and homestead cases provision is made that tho "register shnll publish a no tice," etc., and in the legulations re lating & said law it is provided that "the filing of such notico must bo ac companied by a deposit of sufficient money to pay tho cost of publishing tho notice to be given by tho register." In such cases there can be no ques tion but that the register is legally re sponsible to the publisher for the amount of publication fee. As the affidavit of the publisher or foienmn of the newspaper is necessary to show that the law has been complied with, publishers may usually enforce pay ment of ther charges by refusing to furnish such affidavit until payment has been made for advertising. Occa sionally, however, registers fail to re quire the deposit mentioned, and order tho advertising as usual; then the cntryman fails to make proof aban dons his claim perhaps and the reg ister declines to pav the publisher. In such case a judgment could no doubt bo secured against the officer in "the proper court of tho locality. In fact I am of tho opinion tlmta register of a land oilice is, like other people, amenable to the laws, and liable for the amounts of contracts entered into by him, and when ho orders advertis ing, without specialty stating that in making such order he is merely acting as tho agent of another, the giving by him and execution by the publisher of such order constitutes a contract un der which payment of tho usual ad vertising charge may be enforced by legal process provided, of course, that tho register has properly subject to execution. Certain publications are required by law in-other ovisacs of entry. Un der the Stono and Timber Act, appli cable to Oregon, California, Nevada, and Washington Territory, publication is required in advance of entry. Un der this law the district land officers havo nothing to do with tho publica tion of notice, further than to furnish a. copy of the same to applicant, to bo published at his own expense in tho newspaper published nearest the loca tion itho land. OfOcoure, registers may, as a matter of accommodation to tho applicant, forward (J'io notice to tho publisher, but ho is not required to do to by the statute, and such act ion by him without disclosing tho fact that ho is merely acting as thoagent of tho entryman, would render him legally liable for tho amount of tho publication fees. The publishers can protect themselves in those cased, where tho applicants aro in good faith, by demanding thoir advortuing fees beforo furnishing tho ovidonco of pub lication, whether the order bo given by the register or by the applicant. The remarks relativo to tho legal liability of registnrs in the mattors mentioned, aro bated on general busi ness principles, and will bo mollified, of coiirte, by tho usages of the localities in which cases arise. . If publishers have been acccepting orders for publi cation in Timber aiid Stono Entries from registers and looking (o appli cants for compensation, and it has been long understood that in giving such orders the ofllcer has acted n agent for applicants, of course, the ofllcor would not bo liable for the amount of publisher's torn.

THE CAB1NKT SLATI2. An Kxtrn Se.lnii of CoiiRrrH Tittkoil (if. T1k Slmi CoiiiiiiUhIoii. Nov. lOtli, 1SSS. EniTOR Orkgo.v Scout: Senator Quay is the observed of all observers, and his biilliant manage ment nf tho republican campaign places him away in front among party loaders. His methods were prided by hosts of people, but the cause is 1 judged by the effect, and his efforts havo the sent of success, lie is now in Washington, undoubtedly for tho pnriioso of watching tho congressional returns. The llotiso will bo desper ately close, whichever party . wins, and Quay does not desire his party to bo left. Whilfl ho bus noounnotineed his purposes, the conference between him, Gen. Dudley and Gen. Mahone was for tho purpose of ascertaining if Vir ginia could not bo counted for the republicans.- Thin would havo relieved New York of i importance in the electoral college, and cooled the ardor of tho Now York politicians to own tha earth. New York has controlled tho last two administrations, and would not be loth to rule another. Tho big Now York conference will pretty well fix the cabinet slate. Mr. Quay will probably ask tho Postmaster Cfeneralship for John Wananiakor. California will probably demand a place. Warner Mil'er's claims may bo bitterly opposed by Levi P. Morton . Their ill-feeling is of long standing, and Morton's memory is still sound. Western eondidate.s loom up. Alger, Sherman, Forakor, old Governor Rusk, and a dozen otbors are in tho fight. McKinley is not regarded by his friends here as in the raco. A cabinet position is .considered as a burial for presidential aspirants, and McKinley has a long head. Politicians now at tho Capitol aro talking of an extra session Of congress, to bo called very poon after Mr. Uar- rison a iuauguratipn. Tho expecta - tion of the passage of a tariff bill dur ing the coming winter is decreasing. Tho work of prepaiing legislation of that sort is a matter of vexatious detail and dragging debates, and oven with tho extra hession, over a ygir would bo likely to olapso beforo a now tariff bill would bo on tho Btatuto books. A spring session would at least give tho new House an opportunity to deeido its membership, effect organization, and bo in shape to got quickly at work and receive important committee re ports early in tho following Decemlx'r. Lawyers aro greatly inteiested in the decision of (' United States supremo court, rendered by Justice Harlan, do- nying tho writ of habeas corpus in tho case of Judge Terry, now in jail in San Francisco for contempt of tho United States circuit -court. Terry knocked down tho marshal and drew a knife in opon court. His attorneys contend that tho order was irregular as it wan mado in llio appoalant's ab souce, und without previous notico of the court's intentions, and without any ohaneo being given him to bo heard in his defense Justice Harlan, after eluboratoly reviewing tho caso, concluded that the jurisdiction of the court attached the moment tho con tempt was committed, and that, being committed in tho presence of tho court, the contempt admitted of no defense and forfeited right to defense, The Sioux commission, which has to signally failed to accomplish any thing, is preparing its dying report to the Indian Bureau. The members are now wrangling over tho causes of their failure to obtain tho consent of the Indians to tho terms of the act throw ing oimsh tho reservation. The report will contain little that has not already been made public. Tho comrnisiou is firmly united upon its recommenda tion to prevent the intermarriage of squaws and while men. Tho report will lWg that thofco "squaw inun" touch th ' Indians vices, Hell thoin whiskey, take thoir properly, and ih nnlly leave Ilium without providing for squaw man (Iumh not oxltst who ooult ii.tiu.

It is only changing the black for a white band, and white has always been regarded as an emblem of purity, hence no one should object to wearing white. However, this is only a sug gestion as the boy told his father there is nothing binding about it. I also f-eo by your paper that the street, committee of Union asked "fur ther time" in regard to lixflg up tho city buildings. Now 1 think it is very commendable in the council to allow an extension of time to arrange for tho lepairing of tho city buildings. Any thing done too hurridly is very liable to bo done wrong. I trust, however, they will not move the buildings again. This town is situated fifty miles south of Tacoma. It has a beautiful location, the soil being of a sandy loam which does not get muddy, and will produce good fruit and vegetables, making it a desiiablo placo to livo. They aro working now on a railroad east, to tho coal prospects, and there is every reason to believe that the Gray's Harbor railroad will cross here. There is' fine coal prospects near bore, good timber, and already eleven saw and shingle mills within a radius of four miles. There is a population of about seven or eight hundred now, and tho town is building up quito fast. Prop erty has about doubled in value tho last six months Wo havo four general morchaudiso stores, two grocery stores and another being built, two drug stores, one small hardware storo and another going up, two saloons, three hotels, one harness and bootandshoo store, three church es Baptist, Christian and Methodist.

ATTlSari'T AT SDIClSlC. Tim County Cleric of O runt Ktnrtx on 'the- jWorphliio Route, The news comes from Canyon Gily that.l.T. Muel, Grant 'county's p'asb offieiont dork, attempted suicide, Mon day, by taking a doso 'of morphine, while laboring undor a fit of despond ency over financial troubles and em barrassment, but tho act was discover ed in time and his Jn'u saved. It ap pears that of Into he has con drink ing heavily and besides had been liv ing beyond his means. On tho result of tho last election he hud wagered largo sums of monoy and the result was disastrous o him. To mako things appear all right to tho public ho converted to his own use monoy belonging to tho county, forgetting that a day of settlement would como soonor or later and ho would havo to give n full account of tho shortages in tho county's finances. Upon the heels of his election losses came the opening of tho circuit court for Grant county, and upon an examination of the books in tho cerk's oflico it was found that Mael was somewhere in tho neighbor hood of .$2100 behind with the cotipty. Ah soon as Muel was made aware that his disjioncsty had been discovered his heart failed him und ho attempted to take his own life, but failing, ten dered his rcsiguatiod at onco to tho court us county clerk and handed him self over to his bondsmen. Tho court appointed Hon. Phil. Metchun to fill the unexpired term and that gentle man ussumed tho duties of tho oflicc.
