GOOD FOR EVERYBODY
Almost everybody takes some laxative
medicine to cleanse the system and keep the
blood pure. Those who take SIMMONS
LIVER REGULATOR (liquid or powder)
get all the benefits of a mild and pleasant
laxative and tonic that purifies the blood
and strengthens the whole system. And
more than this: SIMMONS LIVER REGU
LATOR regulates the Liver, keeps it active
and healthy, and when the Liver Is In
good condition you find yourself free from
Malaria, Biliousness, Indigestion, Sick
Headache and Constipation, and rid of
that worn out and debilitated feeling.
These are all caused by a sluggish Liver.
Good digestion and freedom from stomach
troubles will only be had when the liver
is properly at work. If troubled with any
of these complaints, try SIMMONS LIVER
REGULATOR. The King of Liver Medi
cines, and Better than Pills.

From the Corvallis Gazette.
CongreBBmnn W. Li. Ellis and wife
visited Corvallis last week, before de
parting for Washington, D. 0. Thev
have a son and daughter ttttendiug the
O. A. C, and oame to bid them Rood
bye. Tbey were the guests of Prof, and
Mrs J. B. Horner while in the city . and
Friday evening were tendnred an in
formal r-oeptiou. Later in the evening
the college band and the Bach Quartet
serenaded them.
In an interview had Saturday morn
ing Mr. Ellis expressed himself to highly
delighted with the results of the recent
eleotious. He says repnblioau Buoeesa
in '96 is inevitable. He does not olass
Kentuok or Maryland as sure republican
states, for he considers that differences
nmong the democrats largely contributed
to their reoent defeat, but he believes
that they are doubtful, and there is a
possibility of Louisiana and even Ala
bama being found in the republican
column next fall. Although not a rabid
partisan. Mr. Ellis is a stern believer in
the principles of republicanism and in
republican oontrol of national affairs.
He says that republicans at the coming
session of congress, particularly those of
the western states, w ill make a firm
stand for proteotiou to the wool growers
equal to that now enjoyed by the manu
facturers. Dnder the Wilson bill, the
tariff on manufactured woolens is GO per
cent of that under the McKinley bill,
wune rnw wool is admitted duty free.
Lumber is another ootnmcdily the duty
upon whioh Mr. Ellis thiuka, the present
congress will be able to inorease. The
principal matters of general national
importanoetbat will be aoted upon this
winter, Mr. Ellis adds, will be the
Nioaragnan canal proposition aud a
proposed national bankrupt law. Al
though the congressman Las not studied
deeply into the question, yet be be
lieves that a national bankrupt law is
urgently needed. An every oue knows,
Mr. Ellis is an ardent supporter of tbe
idoo that the United States should bnlld
and ooutrol tbe Nicaragua!! canal. He
will tun bin fiifluanpe to secure the ut
most osjliU apprnpriutinns for our
ofedHd river and Li.rh.ir iinprnvomouU.
The Oregon delegation m ly bd drtpiidtd
upon q W(,,k tiiiitelly for Oregou'a
interests. Mr. Ellia i highly pleased
with the Oregon Agricultural College
and expressed himself as snrprisoil at
the thoroughness and completeness of
the institution.
Mr. Ellis ie a genial and a pleasnnt
gentleman and ha made mnuy warm
friends during his brief visit in Cor
vallis. Ho keeps himself in touch with
the people and is oonntaully informing

(From the Argus. Alpcnu, Mich.)
We have long known Mrs. Jas. M.
Todd, of Long Rapips, Alpena Co ,
Mlcb. She has been n sad cripple.
Many of ber friends know the story of
her reoovery; for the benefit of those
who do not we publish it today.
Eight years ago she was taken with
nervous prostration, and in a few months
with muscular inflammatory rheumatism.
It affeoted her heart, then her head.
Her feet beonme so swollen ahe could
wear nothing on them: her hands w
drawn all out of shape. Her eyes were
swollen shut more than half the time,
her knee joints terribly swollen and for
eighteen months she bad to be beld up
to be dressed. One limb became entirely
helpless, and the skin was so dry and
cracked that it would bleed. During
these eight years she had been treated
by a eoore of physioians, and baa also
spent tmioh time at Ann Arbor nnder
best medioal advioe. All s lid ier trouble
was brought on by bard work aud that
medioine would not cure, and that rest
was the ouly thing whioh would ease
her. After going to live with her
daughter she beoame eotirely helpless
and oould not even raise her arms to
oover herself at uigbt. Tha interesting
part of the atory follows la ber own
words :
"I was urged to try Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills for pale people ami at last did
o. In three days after I oommenced
taking Pink Pills I oonld sit up and
dress myself, and after using them six
weeks I went borne and oommenmd
working. I oontinned taking tbe pills,
until now I begin to forget my crutches,
and din go up and down steps without
id. I am truly a living wonder, walk
ing mil of doors without aaaManee."
"Now, if I om say anything to induce
tbote who have sunVred as I have, to
try Pink Pill, I shall gladly do so. If
other like nff 'rers will Irr pink Pills
j according lo directions, ibey will hare
n aaiiu to thank Ood for creating men
who ate able to conquer that terribla
diK-aae, rlieiimallnm. I ha?e ia my
own neighborhood remimmended Pink
Tills for the after effects of la grippe,
an. I weak women wild impure bl,.l.

Seen nt the National Capital.
Washington has more than its share
of "the cankers of a calm world and a
long pence." Some are reduced gen
tlemen, who just manage to keep their
heads above water and maintain a
deprecating front iu their club and so
ciety. They are too lazy to work, says
the Washington Post, and have long
since run through with what little they
have had in a brief splurge, and are
now getting more shabby genteel and
seedy looking every day. They retain,
however, the debonnair air of men of
wealth and boar themselves bravely,
but oh, the pinching and struggling to
keep up appearancesl Oh, the sicken
ing ordeal of having to face the lodg-ing-house
keeper, and, worst of all, the
washerwoman! Oh, the mortification
or neionging to a club, and being una
ble to do more than sit in it, and stay
there, to be marked by the servants aa
a poor devil who never by any chance
is able to reciprocate hospitality or or
der anything, to have club dues
amounting up with no prospect but
through a loan to meet them; to have
the cold shoulder shown by the very
men who helped him to run through
his money, and who now give him a
cool nod instead of both outstretched
hands. ThiH is the pity of It, yet there
are men who endure it rather than leave
Washington. Sueb is the upas tree ef
fect of the life here on thorn.
Lower down in the. social strata you
find in these eddies of the stream of
humanity, the hotel corridors, regu
lur habitues, shabby genteel, social,
political and business failures, lobby
ists, promoters, hangers-on of official
magnates, men dismissed from the army
und navy, cheap sporting "gents," all
with red noses to a man. Everyone of
them has seen better days, and they all
retain even at their shabbiest stage the
manners of their prosperous years, but
they are tainted with an element of
fawning, and, sadder still, with a forced
gayoty and familiarity, painful to see
and e ndure. Here Is an ox-member of
eoiifrress. shorn of bis previous impor
tance and plumage, an exile and "back
number" from bia former district, who
hit turned claim iijrent, ,r U charitably
supposed to be prueticing law, while
Milking down lower and lower every
day. lien. U a once pro.ermm busi
ness man who m-ciiin to have taken a
contract or made a weger to drink up
all the whisky in town. There a poor
wretch who ban e.Miit the best years of
ins me in oin. e, iius lust bis place and
h now one of tbe .ri.rcshl.ni of hotel
corridor fhoMs. There wmie broken
down politician, wbii baa been hanging
on lu re for years and has filed applica
tion enough forotlice to Uirt a paper
mill. Tbe hotel corridors are harena
of rest for these rxir, barmleaa, heart
broken 'eaubers of a culm world and a
long jsvaoe."
