Does your heart throb violontly after
unusual exertion or excitement 1 It is not
heart biseuso, but ludigestion.
Take Simmons Liver Regulator.
"As a matter of conceived duty to liumanity I
Wish to bear my testimony to the uniailine virtues
of Simmons Liver Regulator. If people could
only know what a splendid medicine it is, there
would be many a physician without a patient and
many an interminable doctor's bill saved. I con
lider it infallible in malarial infection. I had, for
many years, been a perfect physical wreck from a
combination of complaints, all the outgrowth of
malaria in my system, and, even under the skillful
hands of Dr. J. P. Jones, of this city, I had
despaired of ever being a well woman again.
.Simmons Liver Regulator was recommended to
tie. I tried it; h helped me, ar.d it is the only
t ling that ever did me any good. I persevered tn
is use and I am now in perfect health. I know
ywir medicine cured me and 1 always keep If as a
Reliable 'stand by' in my fcimily." Mk. May

EVE HAY vs SAGE BRUSH.
In the f irm depnrtmentnf tbe Gazrttb
if the 26th nit. is the follnwina item:
"One nf my neighbors Buys be would
mllier have sajje brimb tlmn rye liny.
Will some sl.'Ck mini, who lias bad ex
perieuce with rve hs n winter feed, give
results in Gazette? Odsekvkb."
The value of rye liny ns a winter feed
for stuck depends priuoially on tbe soil
it grows nn, where it is out nud tbe way
it is taken care of. Ou rich, bottom land
it wi 1 grow inim six to eight feet high,
nud ia too coarse to bo of much value for
feeding ; but wbeu grow n on bench lands,
nnd is from three to five fi-et higli.it
makes excellent feed for wintering 9took
ou. ytock will eat it up cleaner than
any other hay I have ever raised, except
timothy. I have n milch cow that bs
bud untbing but rye hey for tbe past two
months, and she looks well, gives a good
quantity nf milk; Hud her oalf, now two
months old, is as fat ns a pig. I have a
pure bred Fercherou stallion that I give
what rye bay be will eat nud five or s x
pounds of barley per day, nud be keeps
iu good oondilion. I leed my oolls rje
hay, four and ball pounds of barley and
u few oarrots. They look well, nud are
making u good gmwtb on this ration.
Wbeu I first got these oolts up, I fed
Ibem on baled barley buy that bud grown
ou rah bottom laud. The oolls would
pick this buy over uud leave nbout ball
of it, so X would have to clean out their
manger every few days, but I have uoi
hud to cleau out tbeir manger since 1
uommeuoed feetling rye buy. The oolts
have tnkeu this job off of my bauds.
AXoHt fuimers let their hay get too ripe be
fore outtiug they expeot to get bay and
grain cnuiUued ; but tbis is whore the)
muke tLe mintake. Nearly nil kinds
of bay sbuuld be cut about tbe time it is
iu Hie Uit blossom. It contains more
digestible nutriment tbeu tbun at an)
otber time, aud is a more bealtby feed
for stock. When tbe seed begins to form,
tunt which wus digestible uutriu..nt iu
tbe stalk before, turns to woody fibre
aud becomes indigestible, and is injuri
ous to stuck. 1 huve no aunlysis of rye
bay at bund, but 1 am iuoliued tu think
ibat uheu it gets loo ripe it coutnius
more woud fibre tbau any otber kiud ut
bay. Hye buy bus saved the lives ol
tbouiuiuds of dollars wortb nf stock in
Griiiit county during tbe Inst decade.
It there is any oue iu Morrow county
nbo bus any rve bay be wishes to ex
change tor sage blush, just bring it ovet
here into (Jruut county. We bave u
fine sage brush here us ever grew out ol
dnois, but still we will "swap" it for u
secoud oluss quality of rye buy.
Farmers bliuold study the nature ol
their soil, uud glow tbe kiud of buy beni
adapted to it. JobKi'U l'UTNAM.

PENDLElON LETTER.
Editor Gazette:
The anniversary of the birthday of ray
namesake, which is involved in some
uncertainty as to tbe exact date, was
celebrated in PendletOD on Monday even
ing in a style befitting tbe occasion. A
country onn bave but one father, and
some have none at all; and yet again,
many fathers have no country, and
wouldn't if they could; benoe, all things
considered, it is meet and eminently pa
triotic that a country so paternally bless
ed as these United Statts of America,
nud a city s favored of tbe gods as Pen
dletnn should oelebrate, witb feasting
and dancing nnd merrymakings, the birth
nf tbe "Father of His Country." And
that's what we did. There were two
uiapqiiernde balls, oue prize concert
minus the prizes a banquet by tbe board
nf trade, nud several minor festivities tn
commemorate the event, nnd 1, as the
only living represen'ative of the illnstri
ons name, took in the whole program,
ohampagne, etcetera, and the next morn
ing my incorruptible ancestor's bat, nl
the zenith of bis fume would have been
too small for me.
The diphtheria scare is ngain over, the
Lord be praised, this time without any
deaths occurring. Prompt action of tbi
city nflioials confined 'he disease to tin
one family, in which it originated, and all
the patients are recovering.
All day tbe snow, in great, feathery
flakes, bus been Cuming down, ceaseless
ly, heavily, until it is now piled lo the
depth of about fourteen inches. Thit
first snow of auy oonsequence that bus
fallen this season, nnd those whose iu
olinntions lead and pooketbooks peimit,
are making the air merry witb the jangle
and jiugle of sleigh bells. Sleighs of all
eizes aud descriptions nud learns of all
styles aud conditions are scud Jing along
iu spite of the steady fulling of the snow.
The Tribune, of tbis city, h again
changed Lntids, for the fourth lime with
in a year. It is said that Dr. Strange,
the retiring eil.t r. it genial gen'leman
and a good writer, will go to Oaksdale.
Washington, to take charge of the paper
there. His mauy friends wish him uu
bounded success wherever be may go.
Pendleton has not raised the subsidy
required to secure the manufiioturiug
enterprises. She will prububly not do
so at nil, nud thus oue more opportunity
of being something more than a seoond
rute. country town, will puss ber by. Her
citizens evidently believe in the scrip
tural injunction, "Blessed be nothing."
At uuy rule, they ate very, very slow.
In recnguitiou of Senator Haley's ier.
vices in trying lo secure "au open river''
for the iulaud empire, some of the Eiist
ern Oregon newspapers nre booming that
gentleman for congress from the uew dis
trict created by tbe last apportionment
law. Tbere is little doubt that be could
get the nouiinatiou, if be wished it, and
his woik us a state legislator, shows that
ibe wants and rights of bis constituents
would be attended to, if be were eleoted.
But his party is not "iu it," ia Oregon-
aud it is doubtful if he, or any other
democrat, oould be elected.
It is rumored that one of Pendleton's
prominent attorneys Una tbe p le that
will kuook the iittoruey-geuerulship per
limiuon ntrthe limb. llotv much there
is iu the rumor, your oorrespoudent oun
not say; but it oomos from a rather re
liable souroe, so the Gazette has it for
what it is worth. At nuy rate, true or
false, the office might go farther and
fare worse.
Tbe town is filling up with strangers,
attruoted hither by the sale of the reser
vation hinds. A great many are, or seem
to be meu nf small means, that element
which flock to plaoes where there ia a
prospeot nf lively times, like buzzards
iboiu a slaughter pen. Tbere are soures
of men here who are dead broke, or the
next door to it, and the police make a
mighty harvest of those who bave no
"visible menus of support." Tbe bad
weather uuw setting in is bound to cause
suffering among this olaas, who must go
ou short rations nud sleep wherever
night catches them. Of course, many of
tbein are shiftless and no-account, but
many of them are honest men, who
would work if tbey could, aud these
must suffer aloug with the unworthy.
U id pity the pour, any way. They ought
tu have a squurer deal in the next world
thuu iu this. If tbey don't well, it will
gn pretty roufcli with 'em, in tbe opinion
of Ge iKoe W'AsuiNaroN, Ju.
C0B03U HILL.
I have just arrived in Cohosh, after
spending some time iu convincing the
court officials that it was all right iu any
one admiuisteiing ou the estate of A. 15
Ilk. You see that when I bad it settled np
the estate lucked tslj UU nt paying me fur
my services, and wbeu tbe poor man died
be was supposed to be worth Slo.OjO or
t'iU.IXXJ, and they thought if I hud got
awny with it, I oughttn divide. Well, we
fixed it ull up, but don't you tell any F.
A., nor one of Pink's deteotives, or tbero
will be b to pay.
The F. A- will want to jug me, and
Pink man will want me to divide witb
bim. He will take it all for bis Uinre.
Well, Put, I will tell you of a fine go
' we have on the F. A. that the hayseeds
huve orgaiiiz.nl here. We have got a man
to go into it who will either boss to suit
us or will ruiu it. That ia, will bave the
milk or kiok Ibe pail over. We can't
afford to have poor white trash ia puolic
office, (uot it Ib.re is any pay in it.) The
men nt Brains (with bg B) are the only
ones fit for it. Some of the granger, ia
tbe town of Defiauoe nre claim ng that
the business men of Cohosh are some of
tbe worst v. Mains in tbe county, but if w.
had them ou our books, we would "bust"
them in the next six months. There
should be a law passed to prohibit any
Grange stores-tbey ere unconstitutional J
that is, we can't skiu them.
Solomon was a wise man in his day.
but if he was alive now, and would stop
over night in the oitv of Cohosh, bs
would be skinned nf both purse and
olntbes ond g t fired out for a "chump."
The retailing business is down to Bach
i fine point that yon oan't find a abort
tailed dog in tbe corporation.
Well, I will go down to tbe depot and
meet our senator and representative and
tee ho.v much of a swag tbey got to make
that wagon road from tbe Butter oreek
coal mines, and to see whether I oan
nave the rnnuing of that j b. If I am
one of the committee, the state of Ore
gon (that is, this part of it,) will run
witb whiskey on election day. Then
yon will see me get the hayseed.

HOW If WAd.
The following appeared io the Long
Creek Engle of n recent date, under th.
Jiiptinn of "A Citizen's View:"
Editor Long Creek Eagle:
I understand that seme time last week
mme parties in Long Creek banged State
Senator Blaokman in effigy, because (he
Hill had failed to pass in the senate giv
ing Graut county the right to vote on the
re-looution of the oouuty-seat.
All my interests, ull my sympathies,
all my friends have been and are in
Long Creek. Long Creek, "witb all her
faults, I love ber still." But I must con
fess that iu sh,.me I bave to admit my
dleginnoe to Long Creek, after th. hang
ing iu effigy of Senator Blaokman.
No sessiou of the state legislature ever
saw "Old Grant" Detter represented, both
in the senate aud tbe house, than th.
last. No state Beuator or representative
from Graut ever did more for their con-
itituenoy than Blaokman and Duatin.
Blaokman and Dustin bave doue more
for Grant oouuty in one session than baa
been doue for ber siuce she was a county of
rhe state of Oregon. Tbe promises of in
ternal improvements is to be greater this
year tbau all years of her past history
combined, aud tor this oonditiou iu th.
main is the Hon. Henry Blackman re
sponsible. In tbe Inst legislature, no one worked
harder aud more zealously for tbeir con
stituents than did tbe Hon. Henry Black
man. The records of tlie last legislature
will oonfirm tbis statement. But it is
mid that he failed to pass the re-location
bill iu the senate, when it had passed tbe
bouse. As to whether or not be would
have supported tbe bill, I know not.
Ouly thin, know, nud throw down th.
gauntlet for denial, that at the time tbe
bill fur re-location ourae np, Mr. Black
man was ou a sick bed, and his life hung
in the baluuce. I further make tbe as
sertion that though Senator Blaokman
bud used every effort iu his power to
carry tbe bill, still it would have been
beyond bis rower and unavailing to have
it enacted, as it was luoidly understood
by tbe eeuute that no new counties
should be created, and uo bills for the
re location of connty seats should pass,
and tbe legislature of the past session
confirms this view. No one has a guar
antee of bis health or life, and Seuator
Blaokman was no exception to tbe rale.
I submit to all eveu-miuded men of
Grant oounty that Sou u tor Blaokman
did all in bis power for bis constituents,
aud I may say, more than was expected
of him. The oitizens of Grant county
ought to have received him hack iu pride
aud n j lioing. Iu tbe senate he stood in
tbe first rank. He ought to be the glory
and ornament of any constituency, and
we prediot that in less than a year tbe
ephemeral prejudice against Senator
Blackmail will have passed away, and
the same men w ho banged him in effigy
will look on tbeir notions io shame nod
regret, and look nn him ns aa able and
influential legislator, to whom tbey will
look for future favors, and not look in
vain.

A GREAT SEED FARM.
.
Sir I'liiiiLiP Miller, the great English
borticnlturi-t, writing iu 1740 says: " The
best method to huve cabbages good is to
procure fresh seed from abroad every
year, for it is apt tn degeuerate in Eng
land iu n few years."
The above is a simple illustration of
Ibe fact that the best seeds will rapidly
degeuerute u:uler unfavorable oonditious.
Tbe wise will take heed, therefore, and
buy tbeir seeds of D. M. Ferry & Co.,
Detroit, Michigan, whose world wide
reputation as the best and m jst hsliabls.
as well as tbe most ixtinsivk seed grow
ers aud dealers, is due to the fact that
they take advantage of every oiroum
stauce of climate, soil, methods of cul
ture, selection of seed-plants, etc, to pro
nurti the best possib e seeds aud keep
them np fo that high standard.
